[00:02] i installed wine 1.1.3 because as said on all the websites i check it should run psobb [00:02] sacabonos: but it's very stable now, especially since FF 3.0.3 [00:03] but when i run it it logs me out of my computer [00:03] help please???!!!! [00:03] lost_boy432 sudo fdisk -l # find the device node for the filesystem you want to mount. then sudo mount /dev/device_node /mnt [00:03] sacabonos: the best part is that it doesn't need libflashsupport [00:03] lost_boy432 if it errors tell us. [00:03] <^paradox^> Agent_bob: there were like ten jobs backed up where i tried to send other test pages [00:03] hello who will help me? [00:04] <^paradox^> i cancelled those. it says purged. does that mean it deleted them? [00:04] gmm46: try asking in #winehq [00:04] join #wine [00:04] mt [00:04] gmm46: i also suggest putting your questions in a *single* line [00:04] bobertdos, so how should I go with the installation? [00:05] more like...join #whine... [00:05] anyone use firefox 3.1 ? [00:05] sacabonos: The first thing is to leave absolutely no trace of flash 9 in your system, so purge flashplugin-nonfree and libflashsupport. [00:06] ^paradox^ ok check that the printer is not "paused" in cups [00:06] aguitel, yeah [00:06] it sucks on ubuntu [00:06] Canaris_ still in 800x600. ugh. [00:06] ^paradox^ i used to see that if the printer accidently got paused. [00:06] Canaris_ didn't know that trying to use an external monitor would mess things up so bad [00:07] hey guys im using a hp a710y and i installed ubuntu using wubi but when i try and boot into ubuntu i get this error messege does anybody know what this means etxunit.drc317sednot found initunable to execute binsh for rc-defaultno such file or directory initrc default main process (6871) terminated with status 255 [00:07] <^paradox^> lol how do i check if its paused from that site? [00:07] Can anyone please give me some help getting my remotes to work with a commandIR in mythbuntu? I've been asking for hours in the mythbuntu room without a single response... [00:08] ^paradox^ uh [00:08] <^paradox^> state says idle accepting jobs [00:08] what is the website that is primarily used to post temporary code to show it to others (using a generated URL)? [00:08] ^paradox^ "pause" it and then "resume" it ?

MUCH better hardware detection [00:09] hey guys im using a hp a710y and i installed ubuntu using wubi but when i try and boot into ubuntu i get this error messege does anybody know what this means etxunit.drc317sednot found initunable to execute binsh for rc-defaultno such file or directory initrc default main process (6871) terminated with status 255 [00:09] Canaris_ thanks for your help [00:09] bobertdos, many bugs? [00:09] <^paradox^> stop printer and then start printer there? [00:09] gwyo, just get it from ubuntu.com and reinstall [00:10] Agent_bob: I tried sudo fdisk -l but i dont know how to find the device node [00:10] i currently have a wiered and wireless connecton to my ubuntu comp...how do i tell it to default to the wireless [00:10] aguitel: I don't know, but I would guess quite a few since development started not that long ago. [00:10] Canaris_ not upgrade through update manager? [00:10] lost_boy432 you can "pastebin" the output and we'll find it for you. [00:10] bobertdos, done with the purge [00:10] !pastebin > lost_boy432 [00:10] lost_boy432, please see my private message [00:11] can anyone else tell me why I can't get my laptop to boot into normal un-safe mode? Here's my xorg.conf: http://pastebin.com/d6cb5cffe [00:11] <^paradox^> Agent_bob: did u read my pastebin http://rafb.net/p/r113tc58.html ? [00:11] ^paradox^ yes but didn't see anything that explained the issue [00:12] gwyo, NO! Do u have many files that u want to keep? [00:13] Canaris_ yeah, i do [00:13] <^paradox^> i dont know whats going on. it is getting the test pages [00:13] aguitel, same as the previous version, crashes at the sign of flash and javascript on the same page [00:13] hey guys im using a hp a710y and i installed ubuntu using wubi but when i try and boot into ubuntu i get this error messege does anybody know what this means etxunit.drc317sednot found initunable to execute binsh for rc-defaultno such file or directory initrc default main process (6871) terminated with status 255 [00:13] <^paradox^> and on the vista pc its connected to it prints files from that pc fine [00:13] Canaris_ i kinda wanted to hold off until Ibex came out [00:13] and has some stupid save tabs button that doesnt actually save tabs [00:13] gwyo, just copy them to another partition (which you should have done anyways) or burn it onto a CD. Updating a messed up system is never a good idea [00:13] sacabonos: In a terminal, type: locate libflashplayer.so to make sure everything is gone -- better safe than sorry.

[00:14] ^paradox^ i know this will sound stupid. but did you try turning off the printer itself and then back on and testing ? [00:14] gwyo, well updating from 8.04 to 8.10 is easier then from 7.XX to 8.10 [00:14] Hello guys. One quick question. How well does the driver for BCM4401-B0 wifi card works in 8.04 ?

I have to power off then back on every time. [00:16] <^paradox^> any certain amount of time to leave it off for? [00:17] mythtv / commandIR help anyone? [00:17] sacabonos: Assuming you did completely purge flashplugin and libflashsupport, I suppose that one will be safe to manually delete. rm that file [00:17] lost_boy432 hmmm disk is not detected.

[00:23] <^paradox^> how do i completely delete all these jobs? theyre still showing up as 19, 20, etc [00:23] Any aurdor users in here, or any other recommendations for linux-based hard disk multitrack recording? [00:23] *Note* i installed alien arena through the Add and remove app [00:23] Agent_bob: in case your wondering i unplugged my flash drive and phone so only my hdd is connected. I only have 3 usb ports [00:24] bobertdos, I extracted the file now I have 2 files flashplayer-installer, libflashplayer.so should I copy this libflashplayer.so to my plugins dir only? [00:24] ?

[00:25] lost_boy432 yeah i'm looking at the post, it seems that the usb count is 33 now. why is it so high you been trying to fix this for a while ? [00:25] sacabonos: Yeah, you can either do that, or you can run the installer from the terminal (using sudo) and give it the path /usr/lib/firefox-3.0.3 to install directly (and globally) to Firefox. [00:25] ?????? [00:25] ^paradox^ think so. [00:25] Davidgfhgfh, dont use wubi [00:25] Davidgfhgfh: did you hibernate windows or shut it down normally? [00:26] anyone able to give me a hand compiling a kernel by chance?

[00:26] !work | Davidgfhgfh [00:26] Davidgfhgfh: Doesn't work is a strong statement. Does it sit on the couch all day? Does it want more money? Is it on IRC all the time? Please be specific!

[00:27] gmm46, go!! ;) [00:27] i installed alien arena but when i run it it exits on itself [00:27] ubottu: it doesnt work....it loads about quarter of the way after install and freezes...but instead of getting and error messege with wubi....it doesnt have an error messege it just stays and doesnt do anything [00:27] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [00:28] nothing but black screen appears before exiting [00:28] <^paradox^> maybe if i restart the vista pc. just grasping at straws here lol [00:28] Is it true that ubuntu hates AMD and ATI? [00:28] gmm46, start it from a terminal and see if it gives u any errors [00:28] gmm46: do you have the proper video card/sufficient ram to run it? alien arena uses pretty intensive specs, if I recall corectly [00:29] firewolf:i think those card makers hate linux [00:29] ok hang on [00:29] orly? [00:29] Davidgfhgfh: What's your system like, spec-wise? [00:29] lol just wait [00:29] ati is starting to have linux support for their cards.. [00:29] Can anyone please give me some help getting my remotes to work with a commandIR in mythbuntu? I've been asking for hours in the mythbuntu room without a single response... [00:29] <^paradox^> brb [00:30] frozenskunk1: is there some reason its not working with lirc? I thought that was supported better [00:30] bobertdos: hpa710y 2.4 ghz processor p4 2gb of ram 160 gb harddrive [00:30] ok i tried it in the teminal and the same thing happened [00:30] firewolf: Yeah, that's probably more accurate. To the developers' credit though, it's difficult engineering those drivers. [00:30] only i got an error messege [00:30] ill paste it in [00:30] using /home/austin/.alien-arena/data1/ for writing [00:30] using /home/austin/.alien-arena/arena/ for writing [00:30] execing default.cfg [00:30] couldn't exec config.cfg [00:30] Console initialized.

I have used ubuntu in VM under windows but now it is the first time that I am using VM to use windows under ubuntu. Which one of these options would let me do it easier and would offer the larger support for programs that I would like to install under windows (e.g. britannia, chessmamster, comsol (or femlab)) thanks [00:31] If you believe the claims, it is supported easily. I have been up and down every doc I can find, and can't get it going. [00:31] <^paradox^> suppers ready [00:31] the options: vmware workstation, xen (I still dont know how to use it), parallel, virtualbox [00:31] How do I automount my network shares in my computer? EG: other computer shares on this computer [00:31] inasmu: have tried mode2, irw, changing lircd.conf's, etc. and no luck [00:31] K_Dallas: i've always had success with vbox and vmware [00:32] Davidgfhgfh: So Ubuntu stalls mid-installation or mid-boot? [00:32] mid boot [00:32] bobertdos: mid boot [00:32] K_Dallas: I use VirtuaBox OSE and it works for everything I need [00:32] sifunk, vbox is very easy to setup what about vmware? [00:32] bobertdos, now it shows Shockwave Flash 10.0 r12 in about:plugins, I'll check youtube now [00:32] davidgfhgfh:how much memory do you have? [00:32] inasmu, oh, good to know. thanks [00:32] http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2127/2520175998_699b8eace7_o.jpg [00:32] how do I add repos? [00:32] wrong chan, sorry :P [00:33] i honestly dont remember too much about vmare, it's been a while.. but vbox would be my first choice [00:33] inasmu: have tried all the troubleshooting methods I can find, still no luck. I had it working before, and girlfriend updated the box and overwrote all config files, haven't gotten it working again since 8.04 was released. [00:33] bobertdos, I have one more question. If that hanging happend again isn't there anyway to kill firefox/flashplayer instead of restarting the system? [00:33] so now what [00:33] bobertdos: i tried installing with cd worked fine but wouldnt boot and no error messege with wubi it works fine but doesnt boot and i get the error messege i posted aboce [00:33] sifunk, i have used vbox with windows host, i will try it the other way around then, thanks [00:33] lost_boy432 A user with an AOpen AK73Pro motherboard reported that turning off the BIOS option "Assign IRQ for USB" solved this problem for him. [00:33] hardware is all ok, can get it (sort of) going under knoppmyth, but since I can't stand trying to work on things uder knoppmyth... [00:33] thiebaude: 2gb of ram [00:33] hrm, are you sure the updating didn't just move the old config files? sometimes dpkg will append ".old" or something to an old config file instead of removing it [00:34] plenty of memory [00:34] how do I add repos? [00:34] K_Dallas: not a problem, hope you get things working [00:34] :) [00:34] david:did you burn your cd? [00:34] did [00:34] Agent_bob: Thanks! but... how do I do that? [00:34] thiebaude: yes and i checked integrity from the install screen and i checked md5 sum [00:35] david:did you burn it at the slowest speed possible? [00:35] did [00:35] Davidgfhgfh: Two things, do a memtest to make sure your RAM isn't bad, and try pressing escape during boot to enter text mode and see what you can see when it hangs. [00:36] Where or how do I add repos? [00:36] firewolf:software sources [00:36] bobertdos: i did that also the other night like two nights ago it took like overnight and a little while longer everything was 100% [00:37] bobertdos: someone in this room told me to do it along with the integrity checks and md5 thing [00:37] bobertdos:the checksums have to match [00:38] Davidgfhgfh: advice that I think most people here will echo [00:38] Davidgfhgfh: also try booting into recovery mode [00:38] lost_boy432 then that screen wasn't bios it was ntldr [00:38] sacabonos: yes, in the terminal, killall firefox-bin [00:38] Hi I need help locating which package has the gdk/gdkkeysyms.h header [00:39] bobertdos, will try to full screen now [00:39] Davidgfhgfh, have u ever tried booting directly from the liveCD? [00:39] Q: Is a 11-character wide password good enough for admin or it is overkill? thanks [00:39] canaris: yes and it hangs at screen too and doesnt boot [00:40] amrik, http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?searchon=contents&keywords=gdkkeysyms.h&mode=exactfilename&suite=hardy [00:40] bobertdos, wow, thanks bobertdos it worked wonderfully perfect thanks for all the help [00:40] K_Dallas: 11c is good as long as it's strong [00:40] sacabonos: You're quite welcome. [00:40] Hqrsie, it is pretty strong, has everything in it ;) [00:40] bobertdos, also this version seems to be faster with seeking in video [00:41] anyone have any success with sdlmame? Docs and such are extremely limited and i'm confused on if a menu should display my roms or if i HAVE to start them manually (which doens't make for a fluid interaction via an HTPC) [00:41] you should be good then, you never never go overkill on password strength imo [00:41] unop: this is very useful feature. thanks! [00:41] amrik, if you install the apt-file package, you can search offline using this command. apt file gdkkeysyms.h [00:41] sifunk, ok :) thanks [00:41] sacabonos: That's because flash 10 (as long as the environment is set up just right) uses the GPU even more than 9 did. [00:41] Davidgfhgfh, weird [00:41] amrik, sorry, apt-file search gdkkeysyms.h [00:42] hey all [00:42] bobertdos, good to know, I think it really is faster [00:42] can someone tell me what on earth just happened here? http://pastebin.com/m46fff4b7 [00:42] sacabonos: It's good to hear someone say that, because sometimes, I have a hard time telling. [00:45] sacabonos: Just be careful about upgrading that now. Always get rid of the old one. Since flash 10 seems to work out well for you, I'll give you this: http://blogs.adobe.com/penguin.swf/ [00:45] unop: alright well this doesnt fix my problem for some reason. I am trying to compile bochs and it cannto find gdk/gdkkeysyms.h even after installing those packages [00:45] Hey guys! Every time I go to watch anything in mplayer, it plays in black and white... Is there a setting somewhere for this? [00:46] I have 2 ubuntu computers, 1 is desktop, 1 is laptop. i want to make share folder on desktop and access it using laptop, I think i made the share but don't know how to access it. help plz [00:46] amrik, why not use bochs available from the repos? [00:46] amrik: you probably need the 'dev' versions of those packages [00:46] amrik, but to address your problem. sudo apt-get build-dep bochs #installs the necessary libraries to build bochs [00:47] unop: alright well i need to compile some special modifications to bochs which si why i cant use the one in the repository [00:48] amrik, right, well - sudo apt-get build-dep bochs [00:48] hello , i have program in .tar.gz file , how to install it ? === con-man_ is now known as con-man [00:48] !build > kebomix [00:48] kebomix, please see my private message [00:48] kebomix, tar xvzf FILENAME [00:48] bobertdos, ok thanks again I'll aptitude purge first before updating [00:49] erk.. all of the sudden any movies i play have like 90% blue tint in any player I try - anyone know what would cause that? [00:49] like peoples skin look likes smurfs [00:49] Where can I go to find out how much space on my hard drive is available? [00:49] it only appears in videos tho, my normal desktop is perfectly ifne [00:50] where is compiz config in Ubuntu, Gnome desktop? [00:50] unop: it still cant find the header file, but its certainly in the file system under /usr/include/gtk-2.0 [00:50] unop: i think bochs might have some issues compiling... [00:50] amrik, you've run build-dep ? [00:50] RickZilla: df -h will tell you [00:51] amrik, are you modifying configure options at all? [00:51] unop: certainly [00:51] df-h? [00:51] I have 2 ubuntu computers, 1 is desktop, 1 is laptop. i want to make share folder on desktop and access it using laptop, I think i made the share but don't know how to access it. help plz [00:51] amrik, you might need to 'make clean' and try again [00:51] !samba > Daft_Punk [00:51] Daft_Punk, please see my private message [00:51] RickZilla: df -h, there's a space between the df and the -h, the "-h" just means "display in human readable format" [00:52] unop, i dont have windows [00:52] Daft_Punk, samba can't be installed on windows :) [00:52] ok...just type that into the terminal? [00:52] unop: i modified the source to use instead but this doesnt have some of the keybindings its looking for [00:52] Daft_Punk, samba helps with filesharing on linux too [00:53] RickZilla: yeah, if you type that in the temrinal it'll show you how much space is available on all your mounted partitions [00:53] unop, well the link u gave me seems to be pertaining to windows shares [00:53] inasmu: Thanks for the help, I'll check it [00:53] I got guitar hero working with Wine thanks to the guys in #winehq but I cant get the guitar controller working, has anyone here gotten it to work? [00:53] RickZilla: if you don't want to use the terminal, you can just right click on the drive in Nautilius, that might be easier [00:53] how do i set what internet connection ubuntu connects to by default? [00:53] Daft_Punk, windows shares are SMB shares - the same kind that samba creates and uses [00:54] nas [00:54] RickZilla: I should probably have told you about the Nautilis thing first, from the context menu you should be able to open up "properties" and see how much space is ls left [00:54] Daft_Punk, i suppose you could pretend your serving computer is a windows computer for the purposes of setting this up [00:54] anyone? [00:55] Daft_Punk, there really is no difference to the client, it really does not mind which OS the server is running. (with reference to samba) [00:55] Sorry...just starting out with ubuntu...where do I go to get to Nautilus? [00:55] or SMB really [00:55] RickZilla: sorry, thats the name of hte file browsing program, if you go to Places -> Harddrive or something (I forget the names of the places in Places) that'll launch Nautilius [00:56] inasmu: Thanks a ton, I'll check it out [00:56] amrik, well it's hard to say what's gone wrong there - if you're modifying source, you have to know what you are doing and how to get yourself out of tricky situations if you run into them. [00:57] does compiz run faster/better with Xgl? [00:57] hello [00:58] i have graphics card sis , 64mb , does it support ubuntu graphic ? [00:59] anyone familiar with SABnzbd?

I have GH3 running with wine [01:01] unop: true. bochs is also known to not be the easiest program to compile in the world. [01:01] unop, i have no problem connecting to my windows shares using samba, but it wont let me connect to my ubuntu shares, it says "Error: failed to mount windows shares" [01:01] I have a raid1 2 disk array, it is valid and works under the live cd. However, when I try to install (I want to use the raid for the "root" partition) hardy, the partitioning tool won't let me do raid, nor does it recognize /dev/md0 as a valid partition...any thoughts?

[01:05] hardcorelinux, I just right clicked on the folder and checked share, the are media files === inic9902 is now known as incapacitant [01:05] ajhtiredwolf, never mind, just mount them locally: mount -t cifs //server/share /mount/point [01:05] hardcorelinux, i can access the files by going to network and finding the machine, but can't directoy link to them [01:05] ajhtiredwolf: Yes, indirectly. If you mount the remote share in the file-system you can sym-link to it. [01:06] hi evryone [01:06] hi now I have an issue running bochs. it cannot seem to find a library libreadline.so.4. in /usr/lib there was file called libreadline.so so I tried symlinking it to libreadline.so.4 but thiss does not work (it still thinks it cannot find it) === Galka is now known as Zaiden [01:08] Ok, maybe I should ask this another way...is there any way to use a different partitioning editor (gparted, or similar) during install...not the default ? OR is there a way to include the partitioning parameters in a command line for the install, or in an install config?

Install the Live CD image *onto* the USB stick then use it like a Live CD to run the *installer* [01:13] Er, oh [01:14] Okay [01:14] So I should follow the "installing ubuntu onto USB key" directions, and then just install it again from there? [01:14] amrik, since it is looking for libreadline.so.4 just symlink libreadline.so.4 to libreadline.so [01:14] hardcorelinux: this binary is built for i386 and i am on 64-bit platform, do i have to get the 32-bit libreadline.so.4?

[01:29] Tann: go to the ubuntu-studio channel [01:29] kitty_: That partition(6) looks wrong, I'd have expected it to be partition(0) if Windows is in the first primary partition on the disk [01:29] kitche: Thanks... when I switch to the other I can;t seem to do anything...

[01:52] miker, so you can logon in FailSafe, but cannot into a normal GNOME session? [01:53] hardcorelinux - exactly.

[01:53] LaQuirrELL, nope :) [01:53] GodfatherofEir2, very unfortunate for you then, it's probs a bug [01:53] hit the bug tracker with your issue [01:54] check if anyone else has the sameissue and hardware [01:54] I will [01:54] ok that was too easy lol ty Canaris c u all l8r [01:54] if so there may be a fix, if not open a new bug report [01:54] my goddam housemate smokes way too much weed, it stinks the damn house out, how should i solve this problem??? FIRE???? [01:55] can someone tell me the name of a decent html/code editor for use on ubuntu? [01:55] Screem [01:55] After I added a new partition for /home the usplash has been replaced by a text-boot, I've got start-up manager installed but nothing has changed, any ideas? [01:55] Kingsy101, any number of text editores [01:55] assuming you ONLY want to fo html [01:55] *do [01:55] hardcorelinux, nothing happens, just goes back to prompt [01:55] bartb, there is something wrong with you pulseaudio setup(that status call returns nothing, for me too) [01:55] csilk: Replace marijuanna with herbs from the local market :) That's a quick turn-off for any weed smoker. [01:56] lol [01:56] Once he takes a puff of that, he'll regret it :P [01:56] anyone use QuickStart - i know it's for noobs [01:56] What's really the difference between fstab and mtab? [01:56] hmm, messing with her stash might not be a good solution [01:56] unfortunatly [01:56] anything stand out? I just want a nice GUI that makes editing html easy.. if anyone has had experience with a one? [01:56] ouuu a she, that smokes weed...

[01:57] Okay, tell her this: [01:57] hardcorelinux, any suggestions? [01:57] !offtopic kai [01:57] Sorry, I don't know anything about offtopic kai [01:57] sudo pkill weed [01:57] !offtopic | kai [01:57] kai: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [01:57] !offtopic | csilk [01:57] csilk: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [01:58] hello guys is there a way to change my user account name? like now its "jigp". Q: how to change "jigp" into "jigpalomo" ?I tried System>UserandGroup > but there is now rename a user account there.... [01:58] jigp, you cant [01:58] you can make a new user with the name you want though === agib is now known as agib|away [01:58] then transfer you home dir to that new user [01:58] i did that a few days ago [01:58] which channel takes care of compiz? [01:58] jigp: sudo usermod -l newname oldname [01:59] stroyan, i didnt think you could do that? [01:59] Andril, #compiz [01:59] thanks [01:59] hello, i got an issue with an external usb drive (ntfs), i can mount and unmount without problems the drive but i can't write files on it, everytime i got an input/output error, smartmontools says drive status is OK...any clue? [01:59] anyone have any ideas how to fix a jacked up pulseaudio?? you can't remove it without removing the ubuntu desktop [01:59] Andril, #compiz-fusion, sorry [01:59] csilk: I haven't tried it myself. But man usermod says it can. It won't rename the home dir though. [01:59] csilk stroyan : I can or I can't? "csilk: jigp, you can't" [01:59] blueapples: thanks it worked [01:59] can anyone suggest one? [01:59] anyone here familiar with gDevilsPie? [02:00] jigp, apparently you can, although you will have permissions problem with everything in /home/username [02:00] you can easily sort that out though [02:00] andril I guess I'm not sure if they will handle non fusion stuff, probably worth a shot [02:00] csilk: That won't change the user id. The permissions shouldn't need changing. [02:01] blueapples: cool...and cool name [02:01] Hello. I'm thinking about installing Ubuntu on a Windows machine for the first time, but need to make sure I don't break the Windows installation. Could someone point me at documentation to make the necessary adjustments to prepare the system for this type of installation? I've been reading the i386 installation guide, but it doesn't appear to have a section about this. [02:01] jigp: I would warm up a backup user account before experimenting with it. [02:01] stroyan, i was so sure this wasnt poissible i wnt to the extreme of creating a new user, mv the /home folder and chowinng everything [02:01] should I reinstall esound since pulseaudio sucks? [02:02] bartb: You may be just as happy to disable pulseaudio and use libesd-also for your esd clients. esd is unfortunate in lots of ways. [02:02] How come opera and gnome have folders in /root/, although I never started them as root (I haven't even activated the root account and I never did "sudo opera")? [02:02] persia:are you going to dual-boot? [02:03] for some reason my ati driver only installed properly for root user, can someone help? [02:03] persia, use libesd-alsa? how do I disable pulseaudio and use that [02:03] thiebaude: Unlikely, but I need to be able to in case I need hardware support. [02:03] .part [02:03] perisa have you started with trying the liveCD? [02:04] bartb: I think it's asoundconf unset-pulseaudio to turn pulseaudio off. Using ALSA is a matter of changing the preferences in your apps. [02:04] why isn't TKinter included on Ubuntu's python installation, like this FAQ suggests: http://www.python.org/doc/faq/gui/#id3 [02:04] blueapples: I've booted a liveCD, but I've not run the partitioner, as I fear damaging Windows (usually I just do a full format, but can't for this particular computer) [02:05] persia, any idea why my pulseaudio just stopped working all of a sudden? [02:05] SamK, 'drivers' under linux dont install that way.. You may want to clarify the problem a bit. Tell the chennel what the root user can do that a normal user cant.. [02:05] bartb: Sorry. My knowledge of pulseaudio doesn't extend that far :) [02:05] Is there a reason that anope irc services aren't in the ubuntu packages? [02:05] !python [02:05] python is a popular Object Oriented scripting language included in Ubuntu. For more on Python please see http://www.python.org [02:05] persia:you won't damage windows, since its on a different partition, if you install ubuntu [02:05] Helpz! I'm having an issue with 8.04 LTS and Avant. It installs and when finished, it launches for a second and then Goes right Away! I'm scanning the forums and only one post mentioning it, but it doesn't appear anyone else has a solution. [02:05] perisa yeah that's what I would recommend too (full format) - it's always much clearer... there are tools to resize existing partitions, but I don't like the disclaimers on them. i'm trying to find the one i used before ... [02:05] any idears? [02:05] is there an irc channel for pulseaudio problems [02:06] thiebaude: Ubiquity will automatically resize my NTFS partition? [02:06] thiebaude, i imagine that perisa's hard drive is fully formatted ntfs [02:06] tshine, yes, no one has packaged it yet, assuming their license aggress to distribution i wouldnt mind doing it [02:06] *agrees [02:06] umm when i do fglrxinfo as regular user it says "OpenGL version string: 1.4 (2.1.7979 Release)" and when i do it with sudo it says "OpenGL version string: 2.1.7979 Release" [02:06] ketchupz57, you need have compiz enabled for AWN to work [02:06] csilk, were you saying that to me? [02:06] perisa i know that knopix has one built it, you may want to use their live cd to prep your drive. it's dangerous though. [02:06] hi erverybody [02:06] tshine ain't my nick :( [02:06] tsrk, yeah, tab complete got the wrong name [02:06] ok :P [02:06] hardcorelinux I did install and comfigure compiz. [02:06] blueapples: I'd love to format it, but I got this particular computer for half price in return for promising to keep Vista on it for 24 months. I have no intention of using Vista, but I can't format. [02:06] perisa i think that's what i used [02:06] <[Solars]> heh is there a gnome screensaver that plays a whole game of chest ? :P [02:07] I would love an anope package cause I don't like compiling :P [02:07] ketchupz57, open a terminal and type 'avant-window-navigator' [02:07] I've been using Compiz for some time now, and I just reinstalled Ubunutu for the latest version. [02:07] SamK, i would guess they differ a little bit - due to the permissions/security features of X and how sudo differts from gksudo.. is there some 'real' problem/somthing not working? [02:07] blueapples: So there's no known safe way to resize? I ought just try to image the entire drive (with dd or something), and restore if I am asked about something? [02:07] persia:setting up ubuntu from the live cd, you have options on how you patition the hd.you can make partitions for a dual boot, or you can wipe the whole drive and install ubuntu only. [02:08] there is a tool that can do it on the knoppix live-cd [02:08] harcorelinux, it works from cmd. Why? [02:08] ketchupz57, not sure man [02:08] Eek! [02:08] How come opera has a folder in /root/, although I never started it as root (I haven't even activated the root account and I never did "sudo opera")? [02:08] perisa oops, that's for you. there's also partition magic, but that is proprietary and sort of expensive [02:08] well when i use sudo i get direct render, but usually i don't, so most 3D stuff doesn't work well [02:08] so, can I expect that it will only load after each startup from cmd? [02:08] blueapples: Do you happen to know the name of the tool? I suspect it's also in Ubuntu. [02:09] thiebaude: These options include resizing NTFS partitions safely? [02:09] persia:is it gparted? [02:09] perisa I know it wasn't in the past, but I am checking for the name, just a sec [02:09] ketchupz57, just add it to you start-up sesssion, "Preferences->Session", log out and log on, see if it started [02:09] ok, thanks harcorelinux [02:09] later, all. Thanks! === spastic_teapot is now known as spasticteapot [02:09] perisa knoppix has http://qtparted.sourceforge.net/ on it [02:10] SamK, to run gui apps as root - you should use gksudo. not sudo. I cant imagine what 3d stuff you need to run as root, or why performace would differ in the apps between root and the normal user [02:10] perisa which is not installed on my 8.04, so i don't think it's on the live cd either - could be though, worth a check [02:10] how can i get raw disc access to my ipod to install rockbox? [02:11] blueapples: Ah, that's just a parted front-end, so it ought be good. You successfully resized NTFS with this? [02:11] balrog: start IPod in DISC recovery mode [02:11] perisa I am trying to remember how far I got. I *believe* I did. It was a really, really long time ago however, first time I was exposed to linux in college [02:12] persia: you do not need to format your drive! The install option on the live CD will walk you through partitioning your drive and setting up for dual boot of Vista nd Ubuntu.. [02:12] dr_willis, for example if i try to run a game with wine, it runs very slowly, and I'm guessing it's because I don't have direct rendering as a regular user. When i do sudo glxgears, I also get a much higher FPS. [02:12] blueapples: Understood :) I've not actually tried to do this sort of thing since NTFS existed :) [02:12] Fat: And it automatically resizes my NTFS safely? [02:12] kai: any idea of how to do that? [02:13] balrog: What model of Ipod do you have? (The generation) [02:13] Fat, I'm sorry, does Ubuntu include partition resizing tools? I already had free space in my latest install and I have only a single box so I don't know. [02:13] SamK, Ive given up on ati cards.. of course wine and ati has always been an issue.. I would check the forums to see if other ati users have similer issues.. sounds like it could be some bug in the ati drivers [02:13] Blueapples: Boot from live disk, there is a partition resizing tool on that. [02:13] whats the easiest way to reconfigure xorg for a new videocard? [02:14] Blueapples: Sys>Admin>Partitioning Editor [02:14] there you go perisa, i guess it does have something. [02:14] dr_willis, ok thanks:) [02:14] persia:the live cd has patitioning options on it [02:14] blueapples: thiebaude: Fat: kai: Thank you. You've given me the confidence to just let ubiquity do the partition resizing. [02:14] mbnm [02:14] persia:your welcomed [02:15] kai: generation 5 (60 gb video) [02:15] perisa I have heard these tools are much better than they were back in the day, I think you'll be safe, I hope so anyway ;) I need to do this myself soon on my desktop so let me know how it goes === b1 is now known as co [02:15] kai: Also, System - > Administration -> Partitioning editor is gparted. [02:15] ^^ Persia: thank you [02:15] persia: kai: is that only on the live cd? I don't see it on my install [02:15] blueapples: apt-get install gparted. [02:16] persia: It checks your drive for other operating systems and the drive size. The asks if you want to partition your drive and you can determine the size of the partition you wish to allocate for Ubuntu. It will then set up the drive as requested and install the OS. The instsallation also asks a few other questions but they are elementary and do not have to do with dual booting or partitioning. Just be sure to read ea [02:16] ch screen of the inatallation proceedure carefully as you proceed so as not to miss anything. [02:16] which package do you need to use citric? [02:16] hi [02:16] Blueapples: Only on live, sorry [02:16] fat:exactly [02:17] * persia is off to find a USB key to actually perform the install [02:17] kai of course i can install it on my install, but just wanted to know if it was already available on live. that's good to know for the future, didn't know that [02:17] kai so thanks =D [02:17] :D Your welcome! Damn, third person i've helped with linux today <3. I'm getting better. [02:17] blueapples: You can always install additional software in the live environment with apt-get as well. [02:17] hope everything works out, persia [02:17] thiebaude: Thanks :) [02:17] persia just sits on the ram disk then I guess? [02:17] anyone have any lock ups lately? [02:18] blueapples: In the tmpfs unionfs overlay, but basically, yes. [02:18] how can i share files between host (linux) VirtualBox (windows xp [02:18] balrog: Center and lower Ipod button, hold for at most 10 seconds [02:18] !virtualbox [02:18] virtualbox is a x86 !virtualizer. A !free edition is available from !Gutsy as 'virtualbox-ose'. A non-free edition is available at http://virtualbox.org for most Ubuntu releases (help in #vbox) - Setup details at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VirtualBox [02:18] brad89jfsjklh, yeah actually, the GLMatrix screen saver locked up everything for me a few hours ago, couldn't even get to console 1 to do a cleaner restart [02:18] yep, didnt see your pm until recently [02:19] Killer--Tux, virtualbox can share a 'directory' btween guest and host with the guest-addons installed in the guest os.. OR you could just set up samba on both server/guest and share stuff as if they were 2 seperate machines. [02:19] i just upgraded in the last few days it has at random times [02:19] brad89jfsjklh, other than that, it has been pretty stable. this is a new install for me though, haven't been in linux for awhile because of work [02:20] brad:did you upgrade to 8.10? [02:20] did [02:20] dr_willis can you help me configure that [02:20] no i have not upgraded to 8.10 yet [02:21] brad:how much memory do you have? [02:21] i'm afraid of 8.10. i got everything working. i don't want to disturb it heh [02:21] Killer--Tux, not really. I learned how to do it by reading the virtualbox docs/wiki page. You install the guest addations and under linux mount the directory, its a special filesystem. and configure virtualbox server to share a directory. OR just use samba/ssh/other ways to transfer files likeyou would from 2 actual physical machines. [02:21] how can i upgrade? I thought i would wait for the final release [02:21] Hello all. [02:22] blueapples:i had bad luck with 8.10 and went back to 8.04 [02:22] brad:i think 8.10 beta is here now [02:22] dr_willis i have samba already installed but when i try to share the folder it tells me permission denied [02:22] Red_Wraith: Hi :) [02:22] hiI tryed 8.10 alapha 5 on the live cd and it lock up a few times [02:22] brad:upgrade -d, if im not mistaken [02:23] thiebaude 8.10 is tempting because I'm on a MacBook, but as of now, everything I know of that it fixes I have fixed myself to my satisfaction, so, I think I'm sitting on 8.04 for quite awhile [02:23] Killer--Tux, i normally edit the samba smb.conf file and share the users homes , i rarely share a specific directory. and ive never used the little share-wizard feature of gnome. [02:23] Can someone help me? I have a package I MUST remove, but it refuses to purge, even when forced. Error message: http://paste.ubuntu.com/51880/ [02:24] blueapples:when i had 8.10 i went to view flash videos, firefox would always crash [02:24] thiebaude really? on 32 bit? [02:24] Red_Wraith [02:24] blueapples:on 32 bit intel [02:25] Yes kai? [02:25] Red_wraith: sudo pkill vidia? [02:25] nvidia* [02:25] thiebaude, yeah no thanks lol I'll be sticking with 8.04 [02:25] nvidia-glx ****** [02:25] does anyone knows what is the directory that contains the source code of the shell commands? [02:25] blueapples:i might wait for the next LTS [02:25] Okay, then what? [02:25] Now try to purge delete it [02:25] thiebaude, when is the final scheduled? it might be okay. i'll try the live-cd i guess [02:26] No going. [02:26] kai: i get a different error this time [02:26] does anyone knows what is the directory that contains the source code of the shell commands? [02:27] http://paste.ubuntu.com/51884/ kai [02:27] balrog, pastebin then link in PM [02:27] blueapples:sometime around the middle of oct [02:27] roukoun: Your question does not make much sense to me.

[02:30] the x window is the desktop [02:30] roukoun: ls and mkdir are in the "coreutils" package. [02:30] dr_willis; it is?

[02:31] I know, thats why I am asking, I am hoping someone could recommend one they have had experience with (i.e a decent one) [02:31] hmmm [02:31] brb [02:31] how much is usb support? [02:31] Killer--Tux: in case you missed it, you have to pay for usb support [02:32] XDy: check the website, its one of the ways they make money [02:32] I installed kubuntu 8.04 and the screen would redraw in a very bizzare way every ten seconds or so [02:32] Kingsy101: i prefer eclipse for just about everything, as they got a lot of stuff right [02:32] The Openchrome wiki said I should consider updating to the latest version of drm [02:32] danbh_intrepid ?!? [02:32] balrog for HTML? really? it's sort of... heavy don't you think? [02:33] anybody know how to get rockbox to recognize my ipod? 5th gen 60GB video [02:33] thats what I was thinkin... blueapples do you have a suggestion? [02:33] Killer--Tux: in vbox, the free version has no usb support, and the paid version does [02:33] blueapples: oh gosh yes, its terribly heavy, but i like it... [02:33] so I went and downloaded version 2.3.1 using git and compiled it according to the instructions on dri's webpage [02:33] what about a lighter option? [02:33] the only other wel development program I know of is quanta plus. I like to use programs like eclipse and netbeans [02:34] !bluefish [02:34] Sorry, I don't know anything about bluefish [02:34] balrog: Kingsy101 you know I really like the built in text editor. it seems to do the job.

Hibernate works with s2both, but only from the terminal. GUI's don't work...as for suspend I still cant figure it out [02:39] Red_Wraith I know nothing about linux but it seems the uninstall script is looking for a file that doesn't exist [02:39] Yes. [02:39] Killer--Tux: "gksudo nautilus" [02:39] Makrol unless I have missed something, linux has no reliable NTFS filesystem driver than can write to discs safely [02:39] try creating the file or deleting the entry from the install script [02:39] !ntfs [02:39] To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions - For write access, see !NTFS-3g or !FUSE [02:39] Can someone help me with this problem: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=931895 [02:39] Where can I find the install script?

[02:40] ah... hmm... that's too advanced a topic for me [02:40] Komposer isnt in the list in add remove.. :( [02:40] Babam, magiciso should have a free converter on their site [02:40] !ntfs [02:40] To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions - For write access, see !NTFS-3g or !FUSE [02:40] usser: okay, and from there? [02:40] i'd go with making the file by hand [02:40] Makrol then I must have missed something ;) i guess I can't help any further than that [02:40] can someone grab me the " [02:41] !NTFS-3g [02:41] anyone can help me out? [02:41] ntfs-3g is a Linux driver which allows read/write access to NTFS partitions. Installation instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountingWindowsPartitions [02:41] Babam, from there they are just regular cd images that u can mount anywhere, or if your emulator supports it load it directly [02:41] Babam, what are we talking about here snes? [02:41] can someone grab me the "Driver" line from /etc/X11/xorg.conf for an nvidia card? [02:41] hey all is there a way i can get virtualdj on ubuntu?

Well its a bug and its opening it over and over and over agian. I need to turn that feature off how would I do so? [02:42] if you wanted to install KompoZer and its not in the add/remove list is there a way of installing it without downloading it from the site? [02:42] Babam, yea i suppose you just mount the iso files somewhere cause i dont think nintendo roms ever came on cds [02:42] kingsy101: run sudo apt-get install kompozer [02:43] usser: Is there a N64 emu for ubuntu btw? [02:43] Babam, yea sure take a look at mupen64 [02:43] IntuitiveNipple: I think making the directory may have worked... [02:43] Kingsy101, try synaptic [02:43] sonata is front-end for mpd. However, when I choose to install sonata, mpd is not considered a dependencie (it took me some time to figure out why sonata was not working). Where should I point this out so it can be corrected? [02:43] thanks... [02:43] got it [02:44] usser: thanks :D [02:44] Thank you IntuitiveNipple, I'm going to reboot as EnvyNG finished it's run now. [02:44] Red_Wraith: Yeah, it's an 'installer' update thing, one package removes the directory before others that need it [02:44] carandraug, is it for mpd exclusively? [02:44] I'll keep that in mind, thanks. [02:44] no one? :( [02:44] ok, once its installed, I have been wondering this for a while, is there a way of getting an icon in the bar in the top of the screen so I can run it run there? [02:45] you know like you can with say firefox [02:45] Kingsy101, yes [02:45] right click panel -> add to panel -> application launcher [02:45] mm i got the libntfs-3g23 installed, i 'm guessing if i will need to install something more to be able to write on this drive again [02:46] How come opera has a folder in /root/, although I never started it as root (I haven't even activated the root account and I never did "sudo opera")? [02:46] amdpox: hmmm, now that you mention that, I never seen anywhere saying that it's exclusive for mpd, only that it's a front-end for mpd. But SMplayer also doesn't say that it's exclusively a front-end for mplayer and has mplayer has dependencie [02:46] !HAL [02:46] For an informative description of the Hardware Abstraction Layer , go to this site : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hardware_abstraction_layer [02:46] amdpox - ok done that, where do you find a list of programs?

[02:46] say, kompozer (just installed) where would it be...? [02:46] hey guys [02:46] Can I set up a dual boot if I already have ubuntu installed? [02:47] i'm having a problem with my titlebars on my windows disappearing after a while [02:47] is it not somewhere in the applications menu? [02:47] any solutions? [02:47] How would I disable HAL? Because it is causing automounting over and over and over agian [02:47] lol [02:47] Kingsy101, if it's in the apps menu you can just drag it from there to the panel [02:47] mikebot: its harder because windows xp will overwrite grub regardless [02:47] amdpox: the definition of sonata (in their website) is "An elegant music client for MPD" [02:47] if not, you have to do "custom application launcher" and put kompozer and choose an icon [02:48] amdpox - ah yea, I have it... thanks [02:48] balrog: Is there a way I can set aside a partition full of data, uninstall ubuntu, then install xp and ubuntu and retain that original partition full of data? [02:48] hi [02:48] mikebot: that's possible. Just be careful when installing the OS, to not erase it by accident [02:49] carandraug: Would it be better to just wait until the new update to do this? And is there a special sort of windows I should install? Like one of those versions with SP2 included or something? [02:49] mikebot: um, sort of, but you dont uninstall ubuntu. all you do is partition your disk with ubuntu, install windows (yeah, being careful) into the free space, and then use something like supergrub or the ubuntu livecd to recover grub. [02:49] Hi guys! Q: Does USER ID have any effect on that user priviledge? Thanks [02:49] balrog: Oh, OK, thanks. [02:50] ahm..the cD installer of ubuntu is an livecd? i wanna get it for to do some test on the hard drive with a system without the update [02:50] mikebot: make sure you (theoretically) know how to do it beforeyou begin, though [02:51] balrog: I think theoretically knowing how to do it is all I know. [02:51] how i can make ubuntu read the cd inside usb external cd room [02:51] FloodBot1: remove hal services. later handling load hal yourself [02:51] Running 8.04-amd64 on an ati 3850 and 24" samsung display. Autodetect can't figure out it's a widescreen panel [02:51] How do I go about fixing this? [02:51] hey sorry guys, i really need help with this problem. i can't start firefox right now, or terminal. I can't click any of the system menus, nor does the shutdown button in the top corner work. this is an intermittent problem that my GF's laptop has, and i've only been able to reproduce it right now [02:51] i can't use google, so any help is appreciated [02:51] mikebot: I haven't used Windows for a long time. But if people have installed Windows after Ubuntu, without erasing the Ubuntu partition, it's also possible to install Windows without erasing a partitin full o data [02:51] im trying to do the directions here http://www.linux-ntfs.org/doku.php?id=ntfs-en#how_do_i_change_the_permissions_of_a_mounted_ntfs_volume and can't figure out how to do it.

[02:52] ketchupz57, you need to compile from svn [02:52] Is there a way to make the font size in the ttys smaller? [02:52] amdpox, any help on doing that? [02:52] mikebot: oh, and if you want to access the ubuntu partition from windows, be sure to free up hard drive space before the ubuntu partition [02:52] Yhapster: can you Ctrl+Alt+F2 to go to a tty (use Ctrl+Alt+F7 to come back to a graphical interface) [02:53] balrog: OK. [02:53] carandraug: yes I can :) [02:53] Falling-Inferno: remove hal services. later handle loading hal yourself [02:53] carandraug: sexy :) [02:53] ketchupz57, they've moved to bazaar actually [02:53] carandraug: that turn on and off xserver?

[02:55] im trying to do the directions here http://www.linux-ntfs.org/doku.php?id=ntfs-en#how_do_i_change_the_permissions_of_a_mounted_ntfs_volume and can't figure out how to do it. Help please? (im trying to reset my permissions on my Windows partition) [02:55] How come opera has a folder in /root/, although I never started it as root (I haven't even activated the root account and I never did "sudo opera")? [02:55] Yhapster: do you have htop installed? It can help to see if anything's wrong there. You can also linx (terminal browsers) to google [02:55] I created a new user and now i'm back in! :D [02:55] amdpox, sorry maybe I misunderstood, but is compiling the same as installing from source? I'm a little unfimiliar with some of the termonology, but I've installed lots of stuff from source and ran the config. I'm not sure if doing this, that way will get me the extras I'm looking for. Are you saying that it will? [02:56] Yhapster: that's lynx really [02:56] humm [02:56] anything I could look at to manually hit XOrg into outputting 19x12? [02:56] kai: no. It just takes you away from the xserver. But X keeps running [02:56] Anybody know how to get a dual boot to work right? [02:56] so how does one get the "closed" features for vbox [02:56] BigBlueKen: Dual boot what? [02:56] kai: thak's, but in theory, theres a differene at the hardware part? [02:56] Windows XP Pro and Ubuntu [02:56] Is there a way to make the font size in the ttys smaller? [02:57] and i've got an idea, what abot ubuntu MId? I'ts posible to install it on the aaone? [02:57] mikebot: do you have configured the tty resolution in menu.lst? [02:57] mn_: automount or handle to mount? [02:57] carandraug: I don't know what that means. [02:57] idk [02:57] BigBlueKen: So you have your 2 Os's installed, but can't boot windows? [02:57] mikebot: what's your screen resulution? [02:57] Exactly. [02:57] Not sure what you mean, I'm not the best with linux but Acer hardware always seems to bugger up, fgarceseduardo. Switching to OSS4 worked fine for me. My sound works great :) [02:58] carandraug: 1280x800 [02:58] Is there a way you can IM me seperate from this forum? [02:58] denniswang: whatever is best. i want to change my permissions on win permanently but the mount point doesn't have to be permanent [02:58] carandraug: I'm going to get out of this tty, brb. [02:58] Anyone in here have success with a BCM4306 mini-PCI card working under both GUI and console? [02:58] carandraug: ok, htop's installed what should i look for? [02:58] mn_: try umask=0 [02:58] hay all is there a command to see who is logged in using sftp? [02:59] carpediem: OK, 1280x800 [02:59] carandraug: 1280x800 [02:59] kai: thank's i'm gonna try install ubuntu but, i'm going to wait the intrepid version, meanwhile i'm going to install f9 [02:59] carpediem: Sorry, wrong person. [02:59] Jimdandy - my IM on yahoo is BigBlueKen [02:59] ^^ Good luck [03:00] Yhapster: anything that may be hogging resources. Try killing stuff and see if any of them unblocks the xserver and if any of them refuses to be killed [03:00] than's! [03:00] denniswang: i can't even do the second command there === agib|away is now known as agib [03:00] it says ... not found (in several places) [03:01] mikebot: that's a pain to get in tty. VGA doesn't like that resolution. You need to add some fancy things to your kernel. It's better to go with 1024x768 in the tty (less of an hassle) === caplink811-log is now known as caplink811_log [03:01] mikebot: "gksudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst" [03:01] carandraug: Oh, wait, I don't know how to check the resolution for the tty, I just told you the visual display resolution. [03:01] mn_: do you want to automount? [03:01] what does it mean to "show the long listings for files" ? [03:01] Does anyone know how I can paravirtualize ubuntu under Centos 5.2? I tried using the dvdrom but no go. Then I tried doing it from the repositories, but I couldn't find them. I'm looking for a link that I can plug into the virt-manager install source box. [03:02] idc [03:02] niche: like with ls? it shows the information about the file, instead of just the file name [03:02] carandraug: OK, I'm in that. [03:02] mn_: if ntfs-3g had installed correctly [03:02] whats up [03:02] what's the nvidia module name for xorg.conf? (i tried nv and nvidia, the only one i can get to work at all is vga with depth of 8 (320x240 resolution) [03:02] danbh_intrepid, like with ls -l? [03:03] cua0: try using that res and then enabling nvidia through system>administration>hardware drivers, and then restart once it installs [03:03] "drwxr-xr-x 15 root root 4096 Sep 1 15:49 home" so does this mean that I have read and execute permissions for this? [03:03] niche: yes, well, thats the ls command, and the -l does enable the "show long listings" option [03:04] FAJ: yea, you cant' move the windows around enough to see them to change anything. [03:04] mikebot: you know what that file works? You need to add the option vga=773 to the kernel line. You can also use vga=ask. That way it will ask you what resolution to use after grub [03:04] niche: sorta [03:04] cua0: o ok... [03:04] haah [03:04] very cool. [03:04] cua0: what is your vid card? [03:05] carandraug: Where do I add that? There's a lot of stuff going on in here.. [03:05] mn_: or if windows partition was compressed [03:05] niche: is a directory, so you cant execute that. I think it means the default permissions of files created there? Im not sure [03:05] thank for showing me the powers of tty guys [03:05] lol [03:05] using irssi [03:05] How come opera has a folder in /root/, although I never started it as root (I haven't even activated the root account and I never did "sudo opera")? [03:05] is there a way of getting apache to run on startup? rather than have to start it everytime I boot the computer in the console? [03:05] denniswang: i used the cacls command so that no one has access to C:\ so my system can't boot === slaytani1 is now known as slaytanic [03:06] is there another easier way to get to gui, other than ctrl alt f7 [03:06] FAJ: got it working with vesa driver, going to try to change from within x now. [03:06] cua0: ok.... [03:06] XDi, what's easier than that? [03:06] cua0: tell me how it goes then :) [03:06] amdpox, idk it's just one too many keys to press I think [03:07] Q: Would I be able to create a VM (with VBox) if the user is an unpriviledged user? Thanks [03:07] Nothing on making xorg do what I want, then? [03:07] K_Dallas, no reason why not [03:07] mn_: you mean if windows cant boot [03:08] I cannot boot windows [03:08] mikebot: look for a line like this "## ## End Default Options ##" this mark the begining of the boot options you see on grub [03:08] What is 'which df' and how do I find it? [03:08] carandraug: Yes, I see that. [03:08] niche, which tells you where an application is [03:08] freinds php script free ? [03:08] freinds php script free ? [03:08] df is a command to give you the disk usage of all your drives [03:09] niche: which is a command. may type whereis df to find out [03:09] there ya go repeat yourself that might work [03:09] amdpox, the thing is that after having created the VM, when I try to change settings on CD etc VBOX gives me the warning that ... HOST USB Proxy service (verr_file_not_found) ... [03:09] BTW, amdpox that user is in vboxusers group [03:09] freinds php script free ? [03:09] does anyone know? is there a command I can execute that will mean apache is started on startup automatically? [03:10] kingsley, it should do that automatically on its own [03:10] Anyone try to install AWN from source? I'm trying to, and I'm getting "/usr/bin/ld: crt1.o: No such file: No such file or directory" [03:10] is it not? === schmick_ is now known as schmick [03:11] cool [03:11] Kingsy101: update-rc.d [03:11] apparently alt + arrow [03:11] moves to next tty screen [03:11] what package is bdftousplash and pngtousplash in? [03:11] mikebot: every option has at least 4 lines (Tittle, root, kernel and initrd. Some will also have quiet). You probably use the first option in GRUB. That corresponds to the first set of lines. On the line that start by kernel, add, to the end of that line, "vga=ask" or "vga=773" [03:11] carandraug: I put 'vga=ask' anywhere after that? [03:11] Anyone know how to create a trash can applet in AWN manually? [03:11] cchapman: dpkg-query -S bdftousplash [03:11] IntuitiveNipple - what does that command do? [03:11] carandraug: So it now says: kernel/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.24-19-generic root=UUID=ff160e8a-07c3-4ef3-8733-f0df73f2a702 ro quiet splash vga-ask [03:12] mikebot: http://www.mepis.org/node/2992 take a look at this to see other vga values [03:12] Hello, I figured out how to hibernate my system using "s2both", but how do I automate it? As in when closing the lid of the laptop, X minutes of inactivity? As opposed to manually doing it in the terminal? [03:12] cchapman: If you don't have them installed, http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?searchon=contents&keywords=bdftousplash&mode=exactfilename&suite=hardy&arch=any [03:12] More sound issues, a warning about not being able to cache a file [03:12] Kingsy101: man update-rc.d [03:12] ketchupz57: seems that doesnt find ld command, should be your environment figure problem [03:12] mikebot: it's "vga=ask" not "vga-ask". Othe than that yes, it's like that [03:13] carandraug: Oops, OK, cool, now what do I do? :) [03:13] IntuitiveNipple: Thanks [03:13] dennisWang, the ld command exist in the location. I see and understood the error, but it doesn't make sense. [03:14] ketchupz57: look at results of "echo $PATH" command [03:14] dennisWang, I'm really trying to add a trashcan applet to AWN but the extras was not included in the last Ubuntu release, so I'm trying to compile from scratch. I would be just as happen with a trashcan applet being added manually and skip manually configuring, but I can't sem to figure out how. [03:14] mikebot: reboot. That option is loaded with the kernel. Maybe it's possible to change it the middle but I don't know how [03:15] ketchupz57: It means the package you've build hasn't created that file, so ld can't do anything with it. Maybe you need to check the build-dependencies of the source and install any additional requried libraries and development headers [03:15] carandraug: OK, I'm going to try it... brb === PrivateVoid_ is now known as PrivateVoid [03:15] Downloading all the patches certainly takes a bit [03:17] dennisWang, I do not see echo $PATH in my config.log. [03:17] if you are asking me run this verbose please explain [03:17] How do I manually set the resolution on Xorg? [03:18] ketchupz57: maybe when this software package was compling, you should specify path. example for ./configure --help [03:18] how can I get a list of what drives I have installed? [03:19] dennisWang, where would you suggest I put it? [03:19] ketchupz57: type echo $PATH in shell console [03:19] Axle: what do you mean? [03:19] aurynn: edit your xorg.conf (not recomended) [03:19] ubuntu is not recognizing my new hard drive [03:19] Axle: lsmod lists you the modules (drivers) that are loaded [03:19] dennisWang, /usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games [03:19] carandraug: not drives, drives [03:19] *drivers [03:20] ketchupz57: type whereis ld [03:20] carandraug: When I did ask it gave me weird options to choose from (I chose '6'), and now my ttys are flashing crazy-like. [03:20] Axle: what is the hardware? [03:20] Axle: run "sudo fdisk -l" -l is a lowercase L not an uppercase i [03:20] dennisWang, ld: /usr/bin/ld /usr/share/man/man1/ld.1.gz [03:20] rohan: Mm. I was afraid of that. [03:21] mikebot: I don't know what the option 6 was. I have vga=773 and a 1280x800 monitor. That way it skips the step of asking me stuff [03:21] ketchupz57: what problems did you input the command of ./configure [03:22] ketchupz57: detail [03:22] hmm [03:22] dennisWang, I did not input any problems. I simply cd to the AWN folder I downloaded, and ran ./configure. [03:22] /dev/sdb1 is listed in fdisk, but when I try to mount it, I get the error "can't find /dev/sdb1 in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab [03:22] any idea what is wrong? [03:23] aurynn: always use the correct format and refresh rate [03:23] Axle: what command did you use to mount? [03:23] dennisWang, in the config.log is says /usr/bin/ld: crt1.o: No such file: No such file or directory [03:23] I just installed the ndiswrapper driver for my network card, but when I open firefox the computer completely freezes up. Anyone know whats goign on? [03:23] carandraug: sudo mount /dev/sdb1 [03:23] ketchupz57: did you see my comment? [03:23] hello all [03:23] Axle: you have to point the mount point [03:24] dennisWang, I read all your comments, maybe I misunderstood. === brian__ is now known as MrCollins|away [03:24] Is there a way to disable apport for a particular shell? I'm trying to debug something for class and my core files are disappearing [03:24] carandraug: if I wanted to mount it as /media/Axle, what would the command be? === Jimm- is now known as waan [03:24] ketchupz57: seems that crt1.o is AWN's file [03:24] hey guys hows it going. Im trying to send something from my treo phone to my laptop via bluetooth. its just a picture, i send stuff between my phone and my wifes phone both ways no problem..and i send stuff from my laptop to my phone, no problem, but when i try and send it to the laptop from the phone i just gives an cannot connect error. I dont see an error log anywhere [03:24] hello,has someone installed pascal in knoppix? [03:24] ketchupz57: if AWN is completed? [03:24] Axle: if you just want to do that, you must put that information in fstab. Otherwise, use "sudo mount -t partition_fyle_system /path_to_device /path_to_mount_point" [03:25] how do I put that info in fstab? [03:25] dennisWang, it did not complete, because I cannot run the make command. I'm not following you when you say "if AWN is completed?". Are you asking is it already installed? [03:25] Does anyone here know of a program for Linux that will can paper documents and store them in a search-able database? I know there is stuff like PaperPort for windows. I never used one before but if anyone can steer me in the right direction i would appreciate it! [03:26] sudo mount -t NTFS /dev/sdb1 /media/Axle [03:26] carandraug: OK, I'll try that. [03:26] would that work? [03:26] Can someone help? Whenever I open an application (whether it be a terminal or firefox, etc..) the window starts off at the top of the screen such that it's "CLOSE" and File/Edit/Window/Help etc... is off the screen entirely. [03:26] Axle: is this an in internal hdd that you want mounted at bootup or you an external hdd? If it's the former, you should add it to the fstab [03:26] ketchupz57: Read my previous comment! [03:26] ketchupz57: It means the package you've build hasn't created that file, so ld can't do anything with it. Maybe you need to check the build-dependencies of the source and install any additional requried libraries and development headers [03:26] internal [03:26] brb [03:26] hacknperl: take a left from the next junction :-p [03:26] hacknperl, that would be called a document manager.. not sure but would be nice [03:26] carandraug: how would I use fstab to recognize my internel hdd? [03:27] Axle: please use my nick on the messages for me. I can't see them well otherwise [03:27] i like to stay right :) [03:27] ketchupz57: i mean if AWN is a whole package [03:27] carandraug: I did use your name... [03:27] (09:26:54 PM) Axle: carandraug: how would I use fstab to recognize my internel hdd? [03:27] i been dieing to get rid of my file cabinet and clean my office up [03:27] ketchupz57: downloaded and used tar xf xxxx? [03:27] Axle: I figure you don't know how to edit fstab. Pastebin the ouput of "cat /etc/fstab" and "sudo fdisk -l" [03:28] Can anybody help me with my firefox?If it crashes or isn't closed before logout/shutdown it doesn't show my pages from last time? [03:28] hacknperl: Yeah, a paperport alternative would be fab! [03:28] Axle: not always, [03:26] internal [03:26] would that work? [03:26] sudo mount -t NTFS /dev/sdb1 /media/Axle [03:29] dennisWang, yes. I downloaded 0.2.6 which I was told was an acutal release, so additional libraries were not needed. [03:29] Axle: I said pastebin. Don't pm me all that [03:29] hacknperl: Have you looked at Maxview? [03:29] has anyone here ever used PaperPort? i been considering buying it and trying to run it in WINE [03:29] !pastebin | Axle [03:29] Axle: pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic) [03:29] never heard of Maxview [03:29] !appdb | hacknperl [03:29] hacknperl: The Wine Application DB is a database of applications and help for !Windows programs that run under !WINE: http://appdb.winehq.org [03:29] intuitiveNipple, sorry I missed your comment. The package I downloaded was 0.2.6. I didn't mean to ignore you, it is a complete package, so additional libraries aren't needed, so I've been told. [03:29] hacknperl, searching synaptic I found "referencer" not sure if it will work the way you want... there are also document managers that are web based.. you could run them with a lamp install on your desktop machine.. but maybe a little overkill [03:29] sullyva86: you may use firefox package isnt installing [03:30] carandraug: I sent it to you in private message [03:30] oh [03:30] Anyone have any idea on what to do with an idle server? [03:30] Hi, can anyone help me? i turned off the power to my computer and ubuntu doesn't start anymore, it gets me to grub. I have no idea what to do now to get it working again. I installed ubuntu with the install inside windows option. anyone have any idea? [03:30] ketchupz57: It sounds as if the configure script expects otherwise :) [03:30] fbc: use it? :) [03:30] fbc: doorstop. :) [03:30] hacknperl: http://maxview.sourceforge.net/ [03:30] fbc: turn it off [03:30] Yeah i know what WINE is. I was just curious about PaperPort if it worked with wine :) [03:30] IntuitiveNipple, if it doesn't what would you suggest I need? [03:30] carandraug: Works perfectly--thanks for your help! [03:30] thanks for the help though guys.,... im gonna check out your suggestions [03:31] carandraug: http://paste.ubuntu.com/51929/ [03:31] sonata is front-end for mpd. However, when I choose to install sonata, mpd is not considered a dependencie (it took me some time to figure out why sonata was not working). Where should I point this out so it can be corrected? [03:31] hacknperl: please see the link ubottu gave you. It tells you about wine compatibility for specific apps [03:31] can anyone help me with how to post in the ubuntu forum? [03:31] Kai, yeah, but to do what? I thought of turning into a media server.. [03:31] oh ok :) [03:31] mikebot: no problem. The resolution you have in the tty it's 1024x768 but since it's only text there, it's not disfigured [03:31] fbc :P Not sure, I was just trying to be a smart***. ^^ sorry [03:31] ketchupz57: You'd have to examine the configure script to see what it checks for. As dennisWang said earlier, try "./configure --help" [03:32] anyone? [03:32] carandraug: Hrm, but for some reason gtypist says that the data exceeds screen length. [03:32] fbc: help with some distributed processing [03:32] Axle: I've seen it. Give me one minute to figure it out [03:32] ketchupz57: pastebin contents of "./configure --help" to me [03:33] hacknperl, I also found knowledge tree from this link http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=95611 [03:33] IntuitiveNipple, http://wiki.awn-project.org/InstallingFromSource#AWN_From_Source That is the source that is leading me on this install. Per what I have found from what I've looked at and read Ubuntu 8.04 LTS has the latest compents required. [03:33] Axle: I forgot to ask you one other command "ls -lF /dev/disk/by-uuid/" pastebin that one as well, please [03:33] Quick question. I am running Ubuntu desktop 8.04 and it works just fine. i got an old Computer in the basement that i wanna use as a Home-Server. Unfortunately Ubuntu-Server has some trouble with the wifi-usb-stick and I am too lazy to fix it. It works fine under Ubuntu-desktop though. I really just need a LAMP Server and some Samba shares. But are there any bigger issues with using Ubuntu-Desktop as a server? [03:33] ketchupz57: Are you building on Hardy? [03:34] yes [03:34] anyone? [03:34] dennisWang, the contents are lenghty. Would you mind if I PM them to you? [03:34] carandraug: http://paste.ubuntu.com/51932/ === zpowers is now known as Milyardo [03:35] ketchupz57: "Dependencies: There are a number of header/library packages needed to compile/install Awn" - the headers are likely what you have to sort out [03:35] ketchupz57: paste to pastebin.com, i think. [03:35] anyone know how i can get ubuntu working again? [03:36] roukoun: What trouble are you having posting to ubuntuforums? [03:36] sharav: we need explanation [03:36] sharav, whats the prob? [03:36] Canaris_, not really, its just that u wont get full perfomance out of it due to xorg and other crap that desktop has installed by default [03:36] i turned off the power to my computer and ubuntu doesn't start anymore, it gets me to grub. I have no idea what to do now to get it working again. I installed ubuntu with the install inside windows option. anyone have any idea? [03:36] dennisWang, too late my friend. [03:36] sharav, dont use wubi [03:36] I just installed the ndiswrapper driver for my network card, but when I open firefox the computer completely freezes up. Anyone know whats goign on? [03:37] sharav: are you using wubi? [03:37] dennisWang, with out intelligence I pasted it to you, not realizing I was kicking myself for character limit. [03:37] stroyan: i searched everywhere to find out how to make a new post but i didnt really understand how to do it [03:37] wait yes nvm [03:37] sharav, there are many free partitioning tools out there. just install ubuntu on an extra partition (5gb is enough). much better choice [03:37] i think so... i just downloaded the iso for ubuntu from ubuntu.com and did the install as a windows program [03:37] is that wubi? [03:37] ketchupz57: Did you get the source from the bazaar VCS, or use the tar-ball ? [03:37] sharav: yes [03:37] Axle: are you sure you didn't miss any line? [03:37] how can I find the file .profile through terminal? [03:37] ketchupz57: ^>^, sleeping? [03:37] yeah, i'll do that next time [03:38] dennisWang, Inuitive nipple, can't I just forget this and manually just make a trash can applet for AWN manually? [03:38] but is there any way of recovering ? [03:38] dennisWang, I'm awake and rubbing my tumb on forehead. [03:38] it was my first time ever trying ubuntu and i really loved it until this happened [03:38] usser, ok good to know. didnt expect any issues, but upon installation of ubuntu-server i noticed there are special server-kernels, so I was wondering [03:38] ketchupz57: sorry. i can only help you a little [03:38] ketchupz57: Did you check that you have all the dependencies installed? They do provide a handy table: http://wiki.awn-project.org/Dependency_Matrix [03:38] so nothing i can do to recover? [03:39] sharav, probably not no [03:39] sharav: install ubuntu on it's own partition [03:39] dennisWang, its ok. This is really just beyond my scope, and this is a buggy package from the get go. [03:39] stroyan: can you give some instructions? [03:39] sharav: and then take all of the info off of your old partition [03:39] FAJ, thats what i said too [03:39] o sorry Canaris_ i just saw his question [03:39] roukoun: First create an account. Then look for an appropriate forum category. Then read a few postings and the sticky FAQ postings. Then click on the "New thread" link. [03:39] so what technically happened that shutting off the computer caused it to never start again? [03:39] carandraug: sorry, I didn't see you say anything. No, I didn't miss copying anything. What is missing? [03:39] FAJ, oh no offence!. I just agreed with you :) [03:40] lol it's all good, you made it to the catch before i did ;) [03:40] ketchupz57: sorry. not familiar with AWN. only know how to complile installing package [03:40] so this wouldn't happen if it was installed on it's own partition? [03:40] sharav: a mouse ate the cord, a windows file got funky (most likely), anything really [03:40] Axle: I figured it out already. The file is just more outdated than I thought. It has lines in there that he no longer uses (old partition that are no more) [03:40] dennisWang, why dont u install it using apt-get? [03:40] a memory sector of windows went bad... [03:40] stroyan: i have already created an account but my questions was how to make a new post not a new thread [03:40] sharav: can you boot to windows? [03:40] IntuitiveNipple, any idea if I can just make a applet for the trash can manually? I'm feeling this isn't going to be worth while to compile this tonight. If I can't work around this I will likely continue compiling tomorrow. [03:40] yeah i'm in windows right now [03:40] windows seems to be working fine [03:41] sharav, there could be sooo many things. really, just delete it of windows and install it on a seperate partition. [03:41] sharav: then you could prolly just uninstall ubuntu and reinstall. but if you use wubi, like you were it is HIGHLY unstable, b/c it's windows stuff. [03:41] do the fingerprint readers that are on HP laptops work with Linux? [03:41] ketchupz57: The best way to do that is copy the source of one of the simple applets in gnome-applets and adjust it to suit [03:41] untermensch, some do, but not all of them. there was wiki once but i dunno the link [03:41] IntuitiveNipple, link me? [03:42] roukoun: If you want to reply to an existing thread click on the "New reply" link. If you want to start a new topic then you want "New thread". [03:42] Canaris_: what determines if they do or don't? [03:42] untermensch, depends on who's the manufacturer [03:42] I'm not finding the source for the trash can applet... [03:42] I've been trying to get around having to compile.. [03:42] untermensch, i'm sure google will help [03:42] untermensch :P tell me if you can find them or not :P I have one installed on my Acer and I'd like to use it [03:42] thanks guys so what's the best idiot proof way to create a partition and install ubuntu again with the lowest risk to anything happening to windows? i gotta keep windows around for my wife's work [03:42] Kai: i'll let you know [03:42] Canaris_: hmm. i am always using blfs. i only want to settle installing AWN from scratch problem by ketchupz57 [03:43] sharav, just use the livecd its al graphical [03:43] Canaris_: my system hasnt package control system [03:43] Anybody really, really good with Ubuntu and can help me solve a dual boot problem I am experiencing with Ubuntu and Windows XP? [03:43] roukoun: The links are white text on a grey background at the top and bottom of the forum pages. [03:44] stroyan: thanks!!! [03:44] dennisWang, oh u're using LFS?. not bad. I was looking into that once, but it way too hard [03:44] hey, anyone ever encountered GRUB "Error 2: Bad file or directory type"? [03:44] BigBlueKen, go [03:44] ketchupz57: How about trying this. Change to a clean fresh directory. Do "sudo apt-get install bzr". when that is done, do "bzr co lp:awn awn", then do "cd awn". then do "sudo apt-get build-dep avant-window-navigator", then build it using "fakeroot debian/rules binary" [03:44] hallo...i want t ask something stuoid but can someone explain me how i change directory in the terminal...imnewbie [03:45] ntelos: 'cd' [03:45] thanks [03:45] BigBlueKen, whats the problem? [03:45] will do... so how do i avoid this from happening again? the reason i turned off the power was because i was trying a windows game in wine and it loaded in full screen and my monitor just displayed "out of range" and i had no idea how to ctrl alt del out of it, nothing responded so i just shut off the power.... that was probably dumb... what should i do next time? [03:45] IntuitiveNipple, before doing that maybe tell me how to copy a trash can applet command so i can just manually add it to AWN? [03:45] sharav: ctrl-alt-backspace ? [03:45] Canaris_: ya. i am using LFS. if you trying several times, you can too [03:45] sharav, nobody can say that. but if u have it on a seperate partition its much easier to analyze === Ardha is now known as erniy_acyik [03:46] ketchupz57: I have no idea what you mean by "a trash can applet command" [03:46] Canaris_ the problem is that when I choose Windows XP at the boot menu, it cycles me right back to the boot menu again [03:46] dennisWang, I think it would help a lot understanding "Core-Linux" which sounds very interesting to me [03:47] Anyone know of a good 'black' theme for ubuntu, and for compiz? [03:47] getting an error while installing wine with apt-get install wine: [03:47] BigBlueKen, have u changed anything? has it ever worked? [03:47] !wine [03:47] WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine for more information, and see !AppDB for application compatibility. [03:47] anyone here know how to autologin with a registered nick to IRC?

I haven't changed anything yet. Trying to but I scared to death. [03:47] IntuitiveNipple, In AWN i can manually add a launcher or an applet. The trash can is simply an applet. If I can browse to where the applet actually exist, I can manually add it to AWN. The other alternative is running a command. If you tell me how to open the gui trashcan at cmd then I can add it manually to AWN that way. [03:48] anyone here know how to autologin with a registered nick to IRC? [03:48] cchapman: What's your IRC client? [03:48] xchat [03:48] TeslaTony: gnome xchat [03:48] @ka1 no it says broken package [03:48] cchapman: look at he server settings in xchat for freenode. You can specify user and pass [03:48] cchapman, when you are choosing a server, click properties/settings. [03:49] sudo apt-get update [03:49] cchapman: That's pretty easy. When you start XChat, it displays a channel list. Select Freenode, the click "Edit." It's pretty self-explanatory from there [03:49] i guys! [03:49] Hi guys! [03:50] ketchupz57: I'm not sure where the trash applet lives [03:50] hi :) [03:50] @ ka1 no [03:50] @ ka1 same error [03:50] broken package [03:50] I've accidentally rmed some files from my filesystem. [03:50] Check PM ubbuntu-newbie [03:50] Is there any way I can recover them. [03:51] Multiple displays in Ubuntu.. an easy way to make it work? [03:51] boot into a liveCD and copy them over (...?) [03:51] Intuitive, very discouraging. It can be so easy, yet it is so hard! [03:52] ketchupz57: If you can add applets by their ID, it is "OAFIID:GNOME_Panel_TrashApplet" [03:53] sorry can somebody tells me how i can go to my videos for example from the terminal ? [03:53] sorry im newbie [03:54] IntuitiveNippple, hmm let me try that! [03:54] do you know where the videos are stored? [03:54] watch them from terminal or just change directory? change director would be something like cd Videos/ [03:55] ok thanks [03:55] Hey all, how do you view the permissions of a folder thru command line? [03:56] InuitiveNipple, no dice :( I have to browse to it, or cmd it. [03:56] ketchupz57: maybe AWN needs depend on some packages. at first you should see content of README or INSTALL [03:56] anyone up for tackling a screen resolution issue? [03:56] FluxD; ls -al [03:56] any idea how to load it from CMD? [03:56] hi [03:56] yes [03:56] bastid_raZor, thanks ls -al fodler name ? [03:56] I did that dennis, the extras which include the trash can are not included in this package. [03:56] FluxD; yes [03:56] AWN is a few month or weeks away from that. :( [03:56] rver irc.dal.net [03:57] anyone know a dock like awn that runs without compiz? [03:57] lucax; you could get cairo-dock to do that. [03:57] tnx [03:57] ever since the last kernel upgrade, I've lost the 1024x768 resolution [03:57] ketchupz57: what do you mean the trash [03:58] trash is nothing but recyle biin [03:59] Would there happen to be any gentlemen/ladies in the room willing to help me get from 800x600 resolution to 1024x768?~ [03:59] Distort: what video card u using? [03:59] lol. I have the same problem :) [04:00] lucax: Sim-dock is another one that works without compiz. I used it for a while, before upgrading my rig so I could use compiz. [04:00] Nvidia GeForce 6800, I believe [04:00] Can someone help? Whenever I open an application (whether it be a terminal or firefox, etc..) the window starts off at the top of the screen such that it's "CLOSE" and File/Edit/Window/Help etc... is off the screen entirely. [04:00] c0mp13371331337, does it have animations like awn? [04:01] Distort: open synaptic and download 'envyng-core' and 'envyng-gtk' just search for envyng and it will be the top 2 [04:01] lucax: Not as configurable as AWN, but very similar. [04:02] ill give it a shot, but still... i cant find cairos web page... [04:03] lucax: http://sourceforge.net/projects/simdock/ [04:03] lucax, http://www.cairo-dock.org ? [04:03] I've just installed my wireless devices ndiswrapper but i can't connect to any networks. [04:03] thanks people! [04:03] NP [04:04] ASRock: synaptic says they're already installed, what do I do now? [04:05] kevin__: Hold down the ALT key and click the viewable part of the window to drag it into full view. [04:05] my video is listed (by lshw) as a VT8378 [S3 Unichrome] Integrated Video [04:05] Does anyone know of any good dark themes? [04:05] Tann: does your wireless appears? [04:06] Yeah [04:06] c0mp13371331337, yea I can think of a zillion ways to manually move the window each time it opens, but it would be nice to not have to do that. [04:06] Distort: go to Applications->System Tools->Envyng [04:06] Tann: can you "iwlist scan"? [04:06] carandraug but when It connect it disconnects when I try to access the internet. [04:06] kevin__: Does it seem like the resolution is running off the top of the screen or something? [04:07] c0mp13371331337, no the resol seems fine. [04:07] kevin__: Running compiz? Or metacity? [04:07] c0mp13371331337, is there a combiz specific channel? [04:07] Tann: define access the internet? Don't kill me for asking but for some people it means open up firefox [04:07] c0mp13371331337, im thinking that my fiddling with compiz is what did it [04:07] Is there I way to enable suspend mode in kde4? [04:08] Tann: that was a "?" too much. My mistake [04:08] carandraug: Anything. Connecting piding, pinging something, opening firefox. [04:08] kevin__: Could be. I know there are options in there for configuring where windows open. You could try saving your current settings as a profile, then resetting everything to default and seeing if that solves it. [04:09] how do i recreate whatever magic happens when gnome is started with my external monitor plugged into my laptop and it just automatically knows the external monitors resolution (1680x1050) and puts it in system/preferences/screen resolution [04:10] carandraug: Sorry it took so long. I can iwlist scan [04:10] Is there I way to enable suspend mode in kde4? [04:10] It does come up with the networks in the area. [04:11] ASRock: It gave me a couple errors about not "Unable to lock the administration directory", but it seemed to run a lot of code... did it do what it is supposed to do or do I have to fix the administration thing? [04:11] Tann: have you tried manually ifconfig to connect to a network? 'cos I can't see what's going wrong other than that. Are you using xp drivers in ndiswrapper? I've heard they are prefered over Vista drivers [04:12] carandraug: Yes I'm using the XP driver. Let me try with ifconfig === agib is now known as agib|away [04:13] Hey, I'm running into a problem when I install multiple web browsers [04:13] Gah, graphics autodetect is worthless.

[04:14] FlyingBishop: define the default one in System > Preferences > Preferred applications [04:14] It is [04:14] It is firefox [04:14] Thunderbird respects this [04:14] at the least [04:15] my open office is extremely slow and buggy [04:15] i have a problem with sound on ubuntu. i get start up sounds but no sound after that using creative audigy 2 soundcard [04:15] anyone able to help? [04:15] like i go to highlight text and it freezes [04:16] ... [04:16] anybody here? [04:16] i've checked and unchecked digital/analogue output in volume control but it doesnt help [04:17] FlyingBishop: check what browser appears in Pidgin "Tools > Preferences >Netwrok" [04:17] i thought maybe it was compiz, but i switched it off and it is still doing it [04:17] where would i find info on making my sound setup in ubuntu better? [04:17] openoffice has really strange behavior... it launches epiphany, and seems to background itself, then after I close epiphany, it gives me a "you don't seem to have a browser installed" message and tells me to install one [04:17] pidgin is set to system default === agib|away is now known as agib [04:18] having a problem with a USB drive, won't detect now, has before, but it works fine on windows... [04:18] anyway i think im going to use abiword instead [04:18] im thinking maybe its java [04:18] And I'd rather not hack this, since clearly at least OpenOffice is also following some weird preferences [04:18] DigitalFiz: Define 'better" [04:18] user01: openOffice isnt even written in Java [04:18] i have a problem with sound on ubuntu. i get start up sounds but no sound after that using creative audigy 2 soundcard [04:18] bobertdos, my sounds very choppy and even when its all the way up its not very loud only distorted [04:18] FlyingBishop: what exactly happens when you follow a link in pidgin? [04:18] user01: well parts of it are I guess - but not the highlighting thing [04:19] it launches epiphany [04:19] no worries [04:19] but I want it to launch Firefox [04:19] bobertdos, nevermind only seems to be doing it in flash, know anything about that? [04:19] Cpudan80, right but i figured the java parts were interfering with the highlighting parts [04:19] Also, it appears to use the most recently installed browser [04:19] #linuxice [04:19] DigitalFiz: try "alsmixer" in a terminal and try tab to see if there's more bars that don't appear at first [04:19] If I install dillo it would use that [04:20] anyone recommend a good stereo mic headset for ubuntu? [04:20] i have a problem with sound on ubuntu. i get start up sounds but no sound after that using creative audigy 2 soundcard. pleeease help me [04:20] looking to teach an online class this week, and i need something reliable [04:21] Is there a way/package that will put a user specified pop up in the notification bar every hour? [04:21] FlyingBishop: maybe some fancy package that you have installed for better integration of epiphany with pigin? Also, use my nick in messages. It's almost impossible to see them otherwise [04:22] DigitalFiz: Are you referring to the lack of audio in flash 9? [04:22] audi is working just really crappy it seems [04:22] eightyeight: plantronics makes good ones ... albeit a bit expensive [04:22] audio [04:22] but comfortable and good audui quality [04:22] anyone able to help me? [04:22] c0mp13371331337, in case you were interested, the item in COMPIZ that needed modifcation was PLACE WINDOW. [04:22] lepine: how expensive? gotta ballpark figure? [04:23] carandraug: I don't think so. I also had this problem after I installed dillo [04:23] DigitalFiz: and how's your audio elsewhere? [04:23] DigitalFiz: but it can be another volume bar, whose existence you are unaware of that is set too low (my sound card varies sound based on 5 bars) [04:23] what is a comparable apps that similar to veoh player ? [04:23] ~50-70$ iirc [04:23] FlyingBishop: hmm, I don't know then. Can't help you. Sorry [04:23] that was quite a while back though [04:24] bobertdos, it seems fine, i jumped the gun on this one i was having audio problems all around but it seems to have been fixed by changing to the linux mixer thing [04:24] given there's bluetooth and all now ... must have gone done quite a bit [04:24] lepine: not bad. looknig at a logitech set for about $50 as well [04:24] kevin__: Excellent, so you were able to get that fixed? [04:24] c0mp13371331337, yea, thanks. [04:24] hello [04:24] DigitalFiz: As far as flash, are you set to Pulse? Have you tried switching to Alsa [04:25] How do I check syslog ? [04:25] kevin__: No problem. Glad to hear you were able to get that taken care of. [04:25] DigitalFiz: but I remember a line I once added to /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base that supposedly reduces noise. However, it may dependent on the sound card [04:25] eightyeight: http://www.google.com/products/catalog?q=plantronics&btnG=Search+Products&cid=5679874248046200760#ps-sellers ... looks like what i've got ... ~30$ [04:25] please can someone help? [04:25] Oxygenfa1: tail /var/log/syslog [04:26] i have a problem with sound on ubuntu. i get start up sounds but no sound after that using creative audigy 2 soundcard [04:26] how do i recreate whatever magic happens when gnome is started with my external monitor plugged into my laptop and it just automatically knows the external monitors resolution (1680x1050) and puts it in system/preferences/screen resolution [04:27] accele: Have you done basic tests in System->Preferences->Sound? [04:27] yep [04:28] none of them work [04:28] !sound | accele [04:28] accele: If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 [04:28] jim_p are you here ? [04:28] ok thanks bobert, i'll give it a go [04:29] carandraug: I don't know the ifconfig stuff [04:29] is it possible to configure 3d acceleration to start with one specific user and not the first one that logs in? [04:29] oklinux: He isn't, may we help you? [04:29] 大家好 [04:30] Im looking for a apps that is similar to veoh player ? [04:30] dooble: you should go to #ubuntu-cn [04:30] x [04:31] yo [04:31] anyone ever got a matrox dualhead2go working with linux? [04:31] thanks [04:32] carandraug: sorry to sound rather stupid. I've never needed to use ifconfig [04:32] oklinux: What type of player is that? [04:32] some kind of video player [04:32] Anyone know of a good screenshot utility other than the default? [04:32] Tann: ok. It's the network encrypted? [04:33] I am recent Windows convert and really miss having a powerful screenshot utility. [04:33] carandraug: yeah [04:33] Tann: sudo ifconfig interface_name essid essid_name key key_for_essid up [04:33] Ok so the permissions "drwxr-xr-x" would convert to 755 in octal, correct guys? [04:33] Can anyone answer my question? [04:33] oklinux: There are all sorts. We've got VLC, MPlayer, you can install Totem-gstreamer, or Totem-xine.........There's xine player itself. Take your pick, basically. [04:34] bobertdos - are you good with dual boots [04:34] i have an intel gma and i want one user to use 3d acceleration not the first one that logs in, how can i do that? [04:34] BigBlueKen: I can hold my own :) [04:35] hey all, i just split a file up into 1gb parts, its called home_aa home_ab etc. [04:35] how do i join it back together? [04:35] Tann: did you understood it? [04:35] I have been trying - unsuccessfully to dual boot my laptop to Windows XP [04:35] i just want to make sure im using the correct flags etc [04:35] so if you have a 64 bit processor and 4GB of ram, use 64 bit linux? [04:35] bobertdos: do you mind look at the link http://www.veoh.com/downloadFlow.html [04:36] complex_number: that's what i do on this machine. 64 bit works fine for me [04:36] complex_number: and the general answer is also yes [04:36] Ok so the permissions "drwxr-xr-x" would convert to 755 in octal, correct guys? [04:37] oklinux: oh, streaming tv.............I'm not good in that area........ [04:37] how do I troubleshoot USB hdd issues? [04:37] carandraug: it returns "essid: Unknown host" [04:37] Tann: upps, sorry, it's iwconfig "sudo ifconfig interface_name essid essid_name key key_for_essid" [04:38] answered my own question. this seems to be a promising screenshot utility: http://gscrot.ubuntu-projekte.de/ [04:39] so whats the best way to upgrade to intrepid now? is there an easy way with dist-upgrade/full-upgrade? [04:39] carandraug: "sudo ifconfig wl No such device" [04:40] bobert, im still having problems with my sound :S [04:40] every time i try to upgrade from hardy to intrepid, i get a couple of errors for packages that shouldn't be installed [04:40] or have to be changed etc. [04:40] i followed the troubleshooter but it didnt solve anything [04:40] just trying to help people test the upgrdae path for intrepid [04:41] sethbc: #ubuntu+1 is probably better for those questions [04:41] ushimitsudoki: good all sir [04:41] has anyone here had a problem with their audigy 2 sound card where it plays start up sound but nothing else? [04:41] hi [04:42] how do i disable DRI for specific users? [04:43] Tann: can you pastebin "iwlist scan"? [04:43] smilefafa: hellp [04:43] er, hello [04:44] is there a way to use a real root password instead of sudo to do something with root privileges [04:44] how do I use flash with 64 bit firefox? [04:44] hey guys.. [04:45] get the 32bit version [04:45] put it in your 86 folder [04:45] thinkfast: why? [04:45] my ubuntu stops the sound [04:45] im listening to a music and then it stops randomly [04:45] gwhip, sudo -i defeats the purpose though.. but if you're experienced enough and might be use to other distros that have a root account ... go for it. [04:45] complex_number: here is how i did it: http://meandubuntu.wordpress.com/2008/08/20/flash-10-rc-on-ubuntu-amd64/ I think there is a PPA repo somewhere also [04:46] ive installed pulseaudio, but it says that the device is busy [04:46] hello, does anyone know if there is a public wine channel? i just got autokicked from the main one [04:47] #winehq [04:47] what's better, installing 32 bit firefox or 64 bit firefox with nspluginwrapper? [04:47] i've used sidux and used to typing in root password - plus it just seems safer instead of user account password for root privileges [04:47] ty izinucs [04:47] carandraug: http://pastebin.com/d4c0029a1 [04:48] gwhip, sudo is temporary.. used only for the command you want to initiate.. if you have lots to do as root at the terminal then sudo -i [04:48] izinucs: thanks [04:48] np === adam is now known as Guest22088 [04:49] using nvidia twinview, i set up my meta modes to 1280x1024 1280x1024, but the monitor resolution settings has it to 2560x1024 [04:50] id prefer to have it as twin screens, not one large desktop. anyone know what i can do? [04:50] please [04:50] if anyone knows.. [04:51] My sound driver stops randomly [04:51] Tann: after "ifconfig wlan0 up" run "iwconfif wlan0 essid nienhouse key get_the_key_here" [04:51] im listening to a music, and then it stops... [04:51] yokobr: try switching to alsa in gstreamer-properties [04:51] how do i recreate whatever magic happens when gnome is started with my external monitor plugged into my laptop and it just automatically knows the external monitors resolution (1680x1050) and puts it in system/preferences/screen resolution [04:51] locainex: compiz can set "viewports" so you can constrain windows maximizing to one screen. Some things will still show up centered though. If you set up truly separate X screens, you can not drag windows between monitors [04:52] yokobr: or, wait for intrepid, where these problems are supposed to be fixed. The beta is only in a few days... [04:52] what's faster, using 32 bit firefox with flash on AMD64 or 64 FF with nspluginwrapper on AMD64? [04:52] thanks ushimitsudoki [04:52] dont want to run two separate x sessions [04:52] ushimitsudoki: are you a Japanese? [04:52] anyone know how i can name resolution in my private network [04:52] ? [04:53] on the same note i guess. is it possible to run dual monitors AND svideo out on the same X session? [04:53] Error opening PCM device hw:0:Device is busy === Ashfire is now known as Ashfire908 [04:53] danbh, are you brazilian? [04:53] locainex: also, other WM have different support for dual monitors, so you might prefer how one system handles them. For example, I prefer XFCE a bit in this area, so if you really want to try some things out, you might like to try a few WMs as well [04:53] complex_number: no [04:54] is compiz supported by fluxbox yet? ;) [04:54] yokobr: sorry, I only speak english, if thats what you are asking. Try #ubuntu-es or maybe #ubuntu-br [04:54] actually i miss my old fvwm setup. wonder if i still have my configuration lying around [04:54] carandraug: http://pastebin.com/d56629d23 [04:54] oh yeah and what ever happened to beryl?? [04:54] no more 3d desktop cube?

[04:55] Well... [04:55] yokobr: ah, the bh is part of my name [04:55] it didnt worked.. [04:55] locainex: beryl is rolled into compiz and it has the cube (and sphere in the latest version which is pretty cool) [04:55] ah cool! [04:55] lookin at the link now [04:56] been on fiesty forever now.. just upgraded to hardy [04:57] should I use 64 bit firefox or 32 bit firefox? [04:57] complex_number: you should use 32bit everything [04:58] even 32 bit ubuntu? [04:58] <[Solars]> complex_number if you are using a 64 bit system use 64 else use 32 [04:58] I have 4GB ram, core 2 duo 3.12Ghz [04:58] complex_number: if you're asking me, yes [04:58] <[Solars]> ubuntu-desktop comes preinstalled with firefox [04:59] complex_number: I have 4g ram, but it gets knocked down to 3. Its not like I need more than 2 anyway, hence my opinion [05:00] hey guys, I'm wanting to change my permissions for a directory to only be able to run ls -ld command, how would I go about doing this? [05:00] how do i enable flash? [05:00] <[Solars]> danbh_intrepid i have 4+ GB of ram and its not knocked down to 3 [05:00] [Solars]: whats it knocked down to?

[05:02] Captain-Murphy, how did you do it [05:02] what's the easiest way for me to access files (mp3) that i have on my ubuntu partition from windows? [05:02] Tann: I think you need wap_supplicant to do that from the terminal and I don't know how to do that. Never had to worry with it before [05:02] what kind of problems do you get with 64 bit? [05:02] fallore, can't you just load the folder with rhythmbox? [05:02] I tried to update, I got an error after it downlaoded the new files, something about not being able to update or exicute a line about dpkg === hiptobecubic^ is now known as hiptobecubic [05:03] I can read my windows partition just fine through ubuntu [05:03] now whenever I open either synaptic or update manager, they load for a second and then instantly close [05:03] carandraug: yeah, thats the part that lost me int the tutorials.

[05:06] niche: that looks like it'll be perfect, thanks a bunch. though, do you know if that will let music players access those files or just me to browse to them? [05:06] hardly enough time to even see them [05:06] Captain-Murphy: ah, lets try the terminal: sudo apt-get update [05:06] niche: do you really want to limit it to do that command, or do you want to limit to read only? [05:06] niche: oh i think i just read that it does. thanks! [05:06] carandraug, yes... it's for a homework assignment [05:07] fallore, ah great, I wasn't sure [05:07] Captain-Murphy: try opening that program from the terminal and see what appears [05:07] What problems do you run into when you use 64 bit ubuntu? [05:07] carandraug: I really don't feel like messing arround with wpa_supplicant [05:07] hold on a second [05:07] carandraug, just to that command I believe [05:08] niche: I believe it's "chmod -R 444 /path_to_folder" Take a look at 6th paragraph of description on "man chmod" [05:09] how do you manually mount a usb device? === inc9909 is now known as incapacitant [05:09] carandraug, oh ok thanks a lot!

(My laptop card is a Linksys WPC100) [05:12] donavan_: try vlc [05:12] ridata: but for example, if it says HPFS/NTFS for example, you need to use ntfs-3g in the command. You need to be able to interpret it [05:13] Tann: ndiswrapper is know for sometimes not do well with WPA. Have you ever tried to connect to a non protected network? [05:14] danbh thanks i'll check it out [05:14] can you expand your ex2 partition after you've defined it during the install and how would i go about doing so? [05:14] carandraug: I'm assuming this is it: Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sdb1 21 167680 1005958+ 6 FAT16. So it is FAT16, mount doesn't like that or 'fat' so what would I use? [05:15] ridata: use vfat [05:15] carandraug, can you tell me why when a directory is set as executable only the ls -ld command works but not ls -l?

I have used audacity before to do this and now when I attempt to play the file it tells me Error while opening sound device. Please check the output device settings and the project sample rate.' [05:18] heya === krunk-_ is now known as krunk [05:18] fallore: Well, do you have even an older cd? [05:18] bobertdos: yeah i think i do. [05:18] on the main ubuntu download page it says ppc arch is no longer supported for recent ubuntu versions [05:19] Tann: if that's possible. I realize that may not be possible in your case. But even MacDonald's have unprotected networks for clients nowadays (or at least they don in Europe) [05:19] chao1: go to edit>preferences>Playback>Device and change it to another output device. [05:19] fallore: Well, any way you can.........The point is that the partition you resize can't be mounted while you're changing it. [05:19] but some digging led me to cdimage.ubuntu.com where there is a ppc iso of 8.0.4 available [05:19] http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ports/releases/hardy/release/ [05:19] ridata: I tried that. same message [05:19] ah [05:19] chao1: how many output devices do you have? [05:19] so could i do it in windows with a program there, bobertdos ? [05:19] am I to assume that this image is not ot be relied on? wil it bork my laptop? [05:20] chao1: usually there are a few, and choosing the right one seems to have fixed the problem for me. [05:20] not physically, but destroy my osx install perhaps.. [05:20] how do i run a img file on a virtual machine? [05:20] this external hard drive is mounted, i can see the files, but i can't write, if i do sudo mkdir i get the same input/output error but the dir is created, smarttools says tha the drive is ok...any clue? [05:20] fallore: If you can find a program that will read ext2, yes, or I suppose if you install the ext2 driver. I know where that is if you want a link. [05:20] carandraug: I don't live near any open wireless connections [05:21] hey guys I have a question, I have a 64 bit amd turion and currently am running on x64 ubuntu 8.04, I've been having problems with the 64 bit packages, is it better to change to 32 bit or would I be losing out/having issues with it? [05:21] bobertdos: someone linked me to http://www.fs-driver.org/ , is that right? [05:21] bobertdos, I was under the impression more distros are running off of reiser [05:21] I made the mistake of following a friends advice before I logged on here and did sudo dpkg-reconfigure -a [05:21] ridata: any ideas why it changed? It was working and I haven't used it in a couple months. [05:21] dandh: I just installed VLC and I get nothing ... is there a plugin or something that I need for DVD playback [05:21] nkrypted1: go 32bit [05:22] :-? [05:22] donavan_, you need to install the medibuntu repository and libdvdcss2 [05:22] hopefully this will fix it, but I hope I don't mess up something else while I reconfig EVERYTHING [05:22] my screen got messed up [05:22] chao1: I'm not nearly as knowledgeable as some of the other guys here, but my guess would be some upgrade changed default audio settings. [05:23] Captain-Murphy, isn't that part of the fun, messing things up [05:23] Tann: some shoopings also have open wireless connection for people to use when they go there to study (common practice where I live). Or, if it's your home, and it's up to you, you could try to open it for some time (for test purposes only. At least you'ld know if it was WPA fault or not) [05:23] anyone want to help me with a ubuntu installation issue? [05:23] nkrpted I know I have the libdvdcss2 installed I will check on the other I can get playback in totem but its really slow [05:23] Captain-Murphy: just ctrl+c out of it [05:23] fallore: yes [05:23] my screen got messed up , its only showing 640X480 resolution, how to fix it how to install display driver all over from beginning , any one help please [05:23] donavan_, ati video card? [05:23] so I should use 32 bit ubuntu [05:23] got it [05:23] nkrypted1: reiser? [05:23] Q: After installing dnsguardian and squid as they are packaged for 8.04, would I get a decent web filtered system or I need to set up the proxy etc? I woldnt mind some fine tuning along the ride but I would like to know what I get just after the installation. Thanks [05:23] some things aren't built for 64 bit, like flash [05:24] carandraug: I just did. And the system froze up right when it connected [05:24] nkrypted yeah [05:24] ergo 32 has the least probs [05:24] complex_number, I'm not seeing any major performance boosts at least in desktop computing (I know there are major benefits on the server side) [05:24] I have tried downloading the ubuntu iso twice and It won't work. [05:24] bobertdos, reiserfs [05:24] ridata: oic. I missed the question about how many output devices i had. I have 7, one OSS, five ALSA, and one JACK [05:24] but  danbh_intrepid [05:24] jmsthing from where u downloaded? and what method? [05:25] :o) [05:25] nkrypted1: oh, well that could be, I don't keep up on that aspect as much [05:25] Captain-Murphy: ? [05:25] Tann: the symptoms are different from before [05:25] downloaded from the MIT server given on the ubuntu site [05:25] what problems u are facing? [05:25] I okay [05:25] its over [05:25] somehow [05:25] jmsthing, what are you trying to do? [05:25] first time it burned to disc but wouldn't boot the kernel [05:26] now the burn failed [05:26] did you checksum image? [05:26] checksum wouldnt work [05:26] and beyond that is your burner in good shape? [05:26] if checksum wouldnt work, then u have bad iso [05:26] how could I have a bad iso twice? [05:26] from two diff servers [05:27] jmsthing, poor connection? [05:27] connection is fine [05:27] try downloading using a torrent, may be that will help, sometimes some isp gives fake packets leaving files corrupted, my personal experience dont know theory behind that [05:27] jmsthing: it's probably not a server fault but your downloading [05:27] crushy, comcast did that [05:27] I tried torrents but not enough peers [05:27] or the plausibility that the burn itself was bad? === robnyc|mobile is now known as RobNyc|R61 [05:27] shall i give you a link? jmsthing? [05:28] jmsthing: if you use a torrent, I think you can just put the file that you already d'led in its place, and it will just correct the corrupted parts, instead of getting the whole thing [05:28] jmsthing: not enough peeers to get the iso in what time? Be patient [05:28] by the way i just downloaded ubuntustudio 8.04 and ubuntu desktop 8.04 day before yesterday alot of seeders there [05:28] like 2 days [05:29] how could I repair my iso? [05:29] jmsthing: are you downling the 8.04 desktop 32bits? I downloaded it in 2 hours [05:29] yes took me 3 [05:29] same here carandraug [05:29] jmsthing: I meant 2 hours in torrent [05:29] nkrypted : where can I get the medibuntu repository [05:29] carandraug i just checked the torrent and its giving 170 seeds right now, why dont u try now? [05:30] well someone give me a link to the best torrent then [05:30] wow... it never took me longer than ~12mins@2mbps [05:30] jmsthing*** [05:30] jmsthing: ^what crushy just said [05:30] command line tool for checking memory usage? [05:30] pengo: free or top [05:30] pengo: free [05:30] <[Solars]> pengo i think top would work [05:30] <[Solars]> or free [05:30] thanks [05:31] so where can I find the torrent I need? [05:31] same place you got the isa [05:31] pengo: if you want something that updates constantly, give htop a try (it's a nice interface for top) [05:31] *iso [05:31] here u go jm : http://ftp.hostrino.com/pub/ubuntu/cdimage/hardy/ubuntu-8.04.1-desktop-i386.iso.torrent [05:31] thanks [05:32] jmsthing- http://releases.ubuntu.com/8.04 [05:32] I have an app (Lanshark) that uses broadcast packets to detect other systems running the same app. It doesn't work if I have UFW enabled. Disable the firewall and it works fine. How do I tell UFW to allow broadcast packets? [05:32] jmsthing- look down for the image you're looking for with a ".torrent" extension. [05:32] why doesn't everyone install gNewSense? [05:32] how do i sort top/htop by memory? the man page confuses me [05:32] it's debian with all the non-free stuff removed [05:33] holy crap is downloading fast [05:33] -htop [05:33] complex_number: correction: gNewSense is Ubuntu with the non-free stuff removed. [05:33] !intel [05:33] Sorry, I don't know anything about intel [05:33] my ubuntu is only showing 640x480 resolution, i tried installing everything like envyNG nvidia driver from their website etc, but nothing helped me to get back big resolution what seems to be the problem, how to install it from start? or fix it [05:33] complex_number: Debian is all-free too, with non-free being strictly optional. [05:33] Why does Ubuntu keep non-free stuff in it? [05:33] omg it's done already [05:34] why don't they do what gnewsense does? [05:34] u need to run that file in a bit torrent client @ jmsthing [05:34] jmsthing: http://releases.ubuntu.com/8.04/ubuntu-8.04.1-desktop-i386.iso.torrent this is the official one, in Ubuntu's site [05:34] i think u are just download torrent file only [05:34] Hey guys, unning off a live CD. Ubuntu foobared on me. I installed some firmware for a tv capture card. When I rebooted it took a while to come back up. Then I was met with just a blink cursor. I tried again and nothing happened. I then selected ubuntu recover mode. THat took a while, and then froze at something about Face font... I don't remember. Anyway. I got to the login... sigh of relief, then tried to type in my [05:34] no the torrent completed [05:34] complex_number: Because a small amount of very popular hardware only works with non-free drivers and firmware. [05:34] ever since the firefox update my flash isn't working. does anyone know how i would fix it? [05:34] says 100% in bit torrent [05:34] which operating system u are using jmsthing? [05:35] windows xp [05:35] jmsthing: hmm, are you sure it just didn't found the previous iso in your homefolder? [05:35] how much size its showing u? [05:35] 694mb [05:35] and whats the speed of your connection? [05:35] my internet connection is 100mb/s [05:36] jmsthing: that was too much fast. If he found the previous iso in your home folder, it would check the hash, not download it [05:36] if am not wrong i only know that 100 mbps is available in japan throughout [05:36] jmsthing: well, just check the md5sum and well know [05:36] Can I just install over the OS and will ubuntu leave my files ? [05:36] which place do you live jmps [05:36] jmsthing* [05:36] would that correct any errors in the iso? [05:37] i guess thats the speed of connection between ur modem/router to ur pc port [05:37] Cause you know ... I can't start my computer anymore [05:38] halp you can personally backup ur files from within windows using ntfs file utility that will locate your linux partition, so that u can backup them [05:38] if you install over an existing os your files will be wiped when your hd is formatted, backup your files before you decide to do a fresh isntall [05:38] jmsthing: you would have to start the torrent program, then stop it, and then replace the iso that the torrent created with your old iso. Then restart your torrent program, and ask it to recheck the file, AFAIK [05:38] ufw broadcast packets anyone? [05:38] I don't have windows : ) [05:38] which os u are using now? [05:38] Trying to get DVDs to play Totem play slowly , xine says I dont have a dvd drive (USB drive connect), VLC seems to do nothing, I know that the libdvdcsss2 is installed and Im running and ATI card if that matter [05:39] where is the download for the md5sum program? [05:39] live cd will do @ halp [05:39] jmsthing: for windows? [05:39] yes [05:39] What I want to do is have my current ubuntu install forget all the changes I made to it, and rebuild my hardware so I can go back to how things were when I installed it [05:39] Hashcalc [05:39] hold on jmsthing let me give ya link [05:39] Okay [05:39] google hashcalc [05:39] I am in a live CD right now lol. [05:39] I think I know what happend, and I seriously need help [05:39] somehow, I fucked up dpkg [05:39] "halp: Hey guys, unning off a live CD. Ubuntu foobared on me. I installed some firmware for a tv capture card. When I rebooted it took a while to come back up. Then I was met with just a blink cursor. I tried again and nothing happened. I then selected ubuntu recover mode. THat took a while, and then froze at something about Face font... I don't remember. Anyway. I got to the login... sigh of relief, then tried to t [05:39] http://www.fastsum.com/download/FastsumSetup-1.6.exe [05:39] when I run sudo apt-get check or anything else I get Reading package lists... Done [05:39] Segmentation faulty tree... 50% [05:40] and it brings me back to the terminal [05:40] backup ur files to other drive or a pen drive than do the fresh install @ halp [05:40] HELP!!! [05:40] Right now I don't care about the card I was trying to install, Imma chucking it or something. Right now I just want ubuntu to work again. The easiest way for this is if Ubuntu figured out my computers hardware again. [05:41] Please, update manager doesn't work, synaptic doesn't work, apt-get doesn't work, and I think dpkg is damaged... [05:41] how to reinstall display driver all from scratch in ubuntu ? [05:42] Yeah, maybe I'll qpated, move to that partician and try the 64bit distro this time : ) [05:42] does anyone here use parallels ? [05:42] is ntfsfix dangerous? can i lose files if i use it ? [05:42] your hardware configuration @ halp? [05:42] After doing apt-get install phpmyadmin, how does one make it so I can browse to http://localhost:phpmyadmin ? [05:43] Well, I figured, why doesnt it recognize my keyboard ? It did 8 minutes ago right ? So some config file must of changed. I have a webcam that isnt working anymore because I was screwing around with drivers too. I'd like to just have everything go back to normal [05:43] what do i do after i run the checksum program on the file? [05:43] I'm having graphic/drivers issues, is there, perhaps, anyone who can help me please? [05:43] Does anybody know anything about dpkg? [05:43] anybody who can help me installing the nvidia drivers as my screen is not getting bigger than 640/480 resolution [05:43] :-< [05:44] crushy: give me your system specs [05:44] Cause I have so much stuff configured, its not a matter of loosing porn or something, it's tons of programs that I configured for months every night [05:44] Captain-Murphy, What is the exact error message when you try to use "apt-get" from the Command Line? [05:44] RIght now Im on live CD cause I can't even type in my user name on boot [05:44] after installing md5 u have to run it and check the file which u donwnloaded by browsing and calculate its checksum with the checksum given on website [05:44] Captain-Murphy: try getting your problem in just on line. It will it easier for others to follow (which will increase the chances of getting help). Include the command you did that started all that. Also, I'm not going tohelp you 'cos I have no idea on how to solve it, sorry [05:44] ;) [05:44] halp: well, you can always back up to an external disk, then do a fresh install, and restore what you need. [05:44] its m2n mx se plus asus motherboard with athalon dual core cpu [05:45] That seems to be the only answer [05:45] jmsthing: you burn it if the md5sum is correct [05:45] crushy: I was speaking mostly about your graphics card ;p [05:45] nvidia ge force 6100 gpu onboard @ mylogic [05:45] ah, ok [05:45] one second [05:45] thanks for the response carandraug [05:45] yes right [05:45] WOuld be great if ubuntu had a roll back feature or something [05:45] idk i though u had to compare the results of the checksum to something [05:45] I think I'm just goind to do a fresh install [05:45] yep missing that also @ halp :( [05:45] Sucks that just because I make installed something, that everything is fubar now [05:45] hello [05:46] Captain-Murphy, I'm sure there is a fix your your problem [05:46] Captain-Murphy, running to reinstall every time there is a problem is a good way to burn yourself out of linux [05:46] wine? [05:46] " running to reinstall every time there is a problem is a good way to burn yourself out of linux" I AGREE [05:46] Captain-Murphy: no problem. You're not getting ignored, maybe the ones that are activate here right now don't know. And getting your problem spread in several lines with other people lines in the middle makes it hard to follow [05:47] jimmygoon: me too [05:47] mylogic ? u there [05:47] crushy: how much dedicated memory does your card have? [05:47] anyone know where to find the checksum for ubuntu? [05:47] I don't understand people that come here asking for help and then ignore those who try to help? [05:47] it shares memory from the RAM [05:47] hi all [05:47] jmsthing: from the .iso file? [05:47] It's hard to answer questions that go like " AHHH. I need help1!111!!! /part" [05:48] is there anyway to fix the intel-HD soft sound issue? [05:48] i just ran checksum on the iso but idk how to verify it [05:48] should be on the download page [05:48] jmsthing: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuHashes [05:48] right now 128 mb given to it [05:48] ah, ok, so it's on board video [05:48] let's see what I can find here [05:49] i had ubuntu 8.04 installed on benQ S41 notebook [05:49] everything works fine except the sound is riciculous soft [05:49] even thought already set to max level [05:49] When I preview a screensaver it runs just fine, but when it runs itself (because the time passes) it's just a black screen. Also my WINE programs don't run either. also because of driver errors. [05:49] you mean its low @ chuanQi? [05:49] yeap [05:50] jimmygoon: you mean Captain-Murphy? He's been here for some time now. Maybe he left before seeing your message. Followed someones advice with some command wth dpkg and screw apt-get [05:50] that's right, volume is 'low' even set to max [05:50] how do i set partitions so the mount point doesn't change on a restart? [05:50] which sound device you have @ chuanQi? [05:50] Check for hardware volume switches, then system volume (in the tray) then in the actual application [05:50] carandraug, you mean he ran a command to fix dpkg or ran a command recommended here and then wound up with a broken dpkg? [05:50] i am using a built-in intel-HD (965chipset) sound card [05:51] ChuanQi: have you got all the bars on mac in the volume manager? My volume is dependent on 5 of those bars [05:51] ok checksum matches [05:51] so why wouldnt the iso burn? [05:51] sullyva86: wat do u mean ur mount point change on reboot? [05:51] are you sure you plugged in the jack in right socket? [05:51] @ chuanQi [05:51] jimmygoon: he ran a command someone else outside recommended. It broke synaptic, apt-get, aptitute so he came here [05:52] the on screen control for sound is set to 'max' [05:52] it should burn , did you give it a try now? @ jmsthing [05:52] jimmygoon: the command that was recommended that cause all this had something to do with dpkg [05:52] qq [05:52] carandraug, ah, hm. [05:52] jmsthing: what happens when you try to burn the iso? [05:52] i also set the volume in the sound setting to max [05:52] the out come is the same ... [05:52] chuanQi, goto the preference and check all the boxes there, then raise volume of all , try? [05:53] yeap [05:53] carandraug, well, it could be a variety of things... but like I said, error msgs help. "dpkg is broken" isn't helpful when its IRC :P [05:53] i had tried all the setting in the preferences [05:53] sullyva86: in /etc/fstab [05:53] :-s where is mylogic :D [05:53] would i be able to boot the iso from a flash drive? [05:53] i also tried on pulseaudio server and alsa driver [05:54] crushy: right here, doing a little research on your problem ;) [05:54] both appear to have a very 'low' sound output from the speaker [05:54] wow, thats nice :D [05:54] chuanQi read this https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound [05:54] anyone know? [05:54] !printer [05:54] Printing in Ubuntu is done with cups. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Printers - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsPrinters - http://linuxprinting.org - Printer sharing: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NetworkPrintingFromWindows [05:54] jimmygoon: I know. He stated the problem before. That's what I was poiting to him. He should state his problem again and not be based on the principle that people will scroll the channel log looking for what he said half an hour ago [05:54] yes it does @ jmsthing [05:55] yeah, i checked with that page before too :( [05:55] even read the sound how-to in the forum [05:55] so all i need to do is put the iso on my drive and set my bios to boot from my drive? [05:55] what device it showing u in mixer tab of sound in preferences? @ ChuanQi [05:55] jmsthing: i know there is a way to boot from usb if your motherboard supports it... but not sure if you would start with the ISO... [05:55] no you need syslinux @ jmsthing [05:55] Hi. I'm getting strange problem. I had Kubuntu. Once when I tried to login (kdm) screen just blinked and X restarted. Now I instaled Ubuntu (8.04) and same thing happens :(. I have no idea what's wrong ... [05:56] mutable: try running in safe graphics mode? [05:56] if the motherboard have usb boot option then it will start using iso for sure [05:56] snd-intel-hd [05:56] that's the first one [05:56] ChuanQi: run alsamixer in a terminal. Put all bars to the top. Sometimes not all bars appear, try pressing tab to see if more bars come up and put those to the top as well [05:56] can u show me screenshot of ur volume control? @ chuanQi [05:57] therealnanotube: Same, says "look at ~/.xsession-errors" but this file is empty [05:57] carandraug, he said he enabled all boxes in preferences [05:57] I can login from VT, and even create files at /home, so home partition seems to be OK [05:57] i will try to run the alsamixer in a terminal again tonight [05:57] well after enabling all checkboxes u have to close volume control and open it again to see the boxes in some of the installation or should i say most of [05:57] crushy, will show you later, the notebook is not with me now [05:57] crushy: I may have a solution for you, hold on real quick [05:58] yep holding on , mylogic [05:58] everything is working fine except the low volume and 'mic' doesn't seem working [05:58] whats a good app for popping up reminders? [05:58] webcam is working (surprisingly!) [05:58] jmsthing u still there? [05:58] yes [05:58] most of the webcams working in linux nowdays @ chuanQi, cheers [05:58] check this jmsthing http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/idea/7280/ [05:58] im going to try virtual box [05:59] However it started after I installed (and mounted /home) Ext2IFS in windows. One day WinXP refused to read from that drive (or offer me to format it), and since then I got this :(. [05:59] crushy: http://www.nvidia.com/object/linux_display_ia32_1.0-8174.html [05:59] give that a run [05:59] see if it works, I believe it offers a kernel patch [06:00] cool, thanks for the advises crushy & carandraug [06:00] mutable: run fsck on the disk, make sure there are no errors [06:00] your welcome chuanQi, live long ubuntu:D [06:00] checking mylogic [06:01] i'm looking to test 8.10 alpha 6. there's a warning in the testing page about the intel GigE driver doing horrible things to the NIC, but i don't think i am affected. lsmod | grep 'e1000' returns nothing. am i safe?

[06:03] mutable: heh good luck. :) [06:03] subone: I use Evolution [06:03] mylogic: ok [06:03] mutable: since you said it stopped working after winxp messed with the disk, i think it's pretty likely that the partition is messed up. :) [06:03] complete with alarm and reminders, and syncs with my mobile phone :) [06:04] therealnanotube: I can login from VT and move on it and create files on it :\ [06:04] quit [06:04] leaving [06:04] mutable: well yea, but maybe like one of the files related to x is borked... you won't know until you fsck the partition and make sure there are no errors.

[06:15] jmsthing, have you tried burning at 4x or the slowest possible speed for your cdrom? [06:15] it says there is no such file or directory [06:15] i tried at 2x [06:15] cant you just map the iso as the drive I know you could in VMware with windows as the host os [06:15] hey guys if i download the standard kernel from kernel.org and want to compile it on hardy, is there anything special that i need to do ? [06:15] i have to use oss driver, aways, but it only runs 1 program at time [06:15] therealnanotube: thx for support, it looks it'll take some hours, cya [06:16] mutable: ok good luck :) [06:16] jmsthing, there is a way to put the iso on a usb key. There's also a "net" install that goes on a usb key.. that might work for you. === mehteenager is now known as MrObvious [06:16] donavan_, install requires a clean boot to the installer. [06:16] I think I will try to burn the iso once more and move from there [06:17] jmsthing: if all else fails... you could try burning it on some other computer, or order a shipit cd. :) [06:17] !backports [06:17] If new updated Ubuntu packages are built for an application, then they may go into Ubuntu Backports.

I just knew it would let you in windows thought it was worth a try [06:18] well see the reason i tried in vb is because the iso wouldn't burn === the_mgt_ is now known as the_mgt [06:18] donavan_, sure you could install it into vmware.. but can't go from vmware into a fresh install on a partition. [06:18] see the reason i tried in vb is because the iso wouldn't burn [06:18] its weird, the cd drive will spin when i load up vmware but it wont detect the drive or load the disk [06:19] scunzi: ahh I missed that part of the problem [06:19] devslashnull: http://www.howtoforge.com/kernel_compilation_ubuntu [06:19] whats legacy emulation [06:19] thres no flashplayer-nonfree in my synaptic [06:20] shepherd, you have to attach the cdrom to the vm using the vmware console .. or if you're running the beta version there's an icon on the bottom right of the screen that you can right mouse click on. === jim_p is now known as jim_p-busy [06:21] lu5tic, there is..

[06:46] anyone know what vurn speed I should use for my ubuntu disc [06:47] burn* [06:47] Daft_Punk, you could use Synaptic and search for java.. It should return everything with a java reference and you'll see the primary packages that enable java in ubuntu.. if the little box next to any of those is colored then it's installed.

[06:48] imgburn [06:49] jmsthing: some burners actually are more reliable at more than the slowest it can do. it depends on your burner (and the media you're burning on too), so you would probably know best [06:49] jmsthing, windows? [06:49] yeah so i can install ubuntu [06:49] Hey guys...I'm using a completely updated Hardy...but I just learned that a newer version of Java came out months ago but it's not yet in the repositories. Will I have to wait until the next major version to get updated Java? [06:49] darkbishop, I think you should try asking at #samba. They will know better than us. [06:50] ajax4, a newer updated version for linux or windows..? [06:50] scunizi: Linux. === [ifroog] is now known as [ifroog|out] [06:50] Muhammad_Saad, no one there.. i think eveyone gone home for eid mubarak already..

[06:51] shepherd, a computer :) [06:51] shepherd, offcouse XboX [06:51] no wine of vmware or some other thing i dont know about [06:52] scunizi: Well, I'm sure the newest version of Java will be in the next version of Ubuntu. I'm just wondering whether I should install the Java binaries off their site or if Hardy will be updated with the new Java version. [06:52] shepherd,virtualbox?? [06:52] i dont understand something about ubuntu. i installed amarok and it said that it would take up 131MB of additional space. when i uninstalled it, it said it would free up 31MB. so what happened to the other 100MB ??? [06:52] ajax4, they might be in backports.. not sure if they will be officially backported to hardy [06:53] devslashnull: That 131mb prob consists of other libraries that amarok needs but that won't get uninstalled when you uninstall amark. [06:53] darkbishop, :D . Then try at the Ubuntu forums. It will take a little time but you will most probably be able to solve your problem. I wish I could help you but I do not know much about samba. [06:53] devslashnull: amarok. [06:53] thats dumb [06:53] what if i want to uninstall them ? [06:53] i read virtualbox doesn't have 3d accleration [06:54] devslashnull: You can as long as other programs don't rely on those libraries. [06:54] jow [06:54] how [06:54] Muhammad_Saad, np.. im here to learn... so reading wont hurt..... thx for the point.. [06:54] devslashnull, those other libraries are part of kde that are necessary to run amorak [06:54] im on ubuntu [06:54] I am new to ubuntu. Can someone tell me I can learn more about how to use the terminal? [06:55] Hey guys, I got some folders in the trash I can't delete because I don't have permission [06:55] devslashnull, ubuntu is gnome which can run kde programs with the library dependancies.. [06:55] They were read only copied from a cdr. How do I get rid of them ? [06:55] dev/null ? Breakcore ? [06:55] nydoc: What kinds of things do you want to use the terminal for? [06:55] Oxygenfa1, gksudo nautilus ... then navigate to the trash and delete.. [06:56] I am not sure what the terminal can do? === cEuE_uCHuL is now known as Zhuan [06:56] nydoc, almost everything [06:56] HMmm what would the path to the trash be ? [06:56] Nothing is explained in the documentation [06:57] !trash [06:57] The location of Trash has changed in 8.04, it is now located in ~/.local/share/Trash | Looking for the trash in previous versions: ~/.Trash [06:57] nydoc: Well you can run programs from the terminal. You can also run your own scripts. Do a search for "bash scripting" in google. [06:57] Oxygenfa1, once in nautilus you might need to ctrl+h to show the hidden directories. [06:57] devslashnull, if you want to uninstall the additional packages, you may want to check File->History to see what packages got installed with amarok. [06:57] I will try that. thanx [06:58] ok thanks [06:58] nydoc: you're welcome [06:58] devslashnull, you can also google "pure gnome" there's a line in the link that will eliminate all traces of kde === seyo is now known as co^jelek^ [07:00] How do I get access to a ubuntu computer via my lan with for instance winscp ?

[07:04] I'm installing over a partition that had ubuntu 8.04 and was seriously damaged (dpkg was broken) however I'm having a problem installing it [07:05] koala_man, works like a charm, thanks! [07:05] I tried to install over that partition in gparted, I selected that partion, made it the root, set it to be formated [07:05] is there a way to get a userlist of people inside a channel without actually being in the channel [07:06] however when it was installing I recieved a whole bunch of errors aboutfiles that were either "damanged on teh CD/DVD or on the hard disk" [07:06] PoisonArrow: /list #channel [07:06] but I burned another copy of the cd off a new download of the iso and the same thing happend and I checked the cd for consistancy which makes me think its trying to read files off the old install on that partition - does that make any sense at all? === axyjo_ is now known as axyjo [07:07] #join C++ [07:07] join #C++ [07:08] can anyone help me install ubuntu over an old partition of ubuntu? [07:08] CaptainMurphy: You could try wiping the old partition using Gparted. You can download and burn a bootable CD of that program off their site. [07:08] BubblesTrouble: try /join [07:08] I have one, Can I use it to wipe only that partition? [07:09] CaptainMurphy, if it's the live cd you might use the partition editor to delete the partition then recreate it and format it as ext3.. then continue with the install.. remember that for future installs it's easier with 3 partitions for ubuntu .. root.. swap.... and /home .. root=8-12 gigs... swap=1gig max and the rest /home [07:09] CaptainMurphy: Yes, you would format the partition. I don't know if that's your problem but you can try it. [07:09] ok I have finally burned a disc so I'm off to try it now [07:09] Rat409, u use syslinux? havin some trouble understanding it... and also do i have to put a usb iso on there like backtrack? or can they be live cd ido's [07:09] at 2AM lol [07:09] hi how to completely remove wine and chrome with it from my ubuntu? [07:10] I have 4 partitions 1 windows 2 ubunto 3 swap 4 storage (ntfs) [07:10] I thought ubuntu used gparted [07:11] but for some reason when I selected the second partition to be formated it didn't seem like it spent any time formating it [07:11] Aaqil: Check your ~/.wine folder. Most of the installed programs for wine should be stored in there. [07:11] and then threw a bunch of errors at me [07:11] gamma-x: i know what it does but not up on it hmm [07:11] CaptainMorgan, gparted is the partition editor.. 3 swaps? back it down to 1 even if you have multiple installs of other os's [07:11] Rat409, ok thanks anyway. [07:11] I have 1 swap [07:11] 1 windows os [07:11] 1 storage partition (no os) [07:12] and one that I want to be windows [07:12] I mean ubuntu [07:12] sigh its getting late [07:12] gamma-x: try here http://www.pendrivelinux.com/ [07:12] CaptainMorgan, ah you were just numbering them.. missed that. [07:12] yar [07:12] yaar [07:12] everythings going wrong today [07:13] the reason I'm re-installing is that somehow I damaged dpkg [07:13] so I couldn't update anything or fix anything [07:13] I don't even know how sh*t like that happens [07:13] CaptainMorgan, jump up and down on 1 foot and bang forehead with hand once.. [07:13] I've already tried that with a wall instead of my hand [07:14] CaptainMorgan, this is a good argument for a seperate /home partition.. that way you won't loose your data. [07:14] CaptainMurphy: When you selected format for that partition, did you select "apply" ? [07:15] hi , how to completely remove wine and chrome with it? [07:15] CaptainMurphy: I think the button is called "apply"...it writes all the changes you make to the disk at once. [07:15] Aaqil: Check your ~/.wine folder. Most of the installed programs for wine should be stored in there. [07:15] ajax4: where is that? [07:15] Aaqi: hello that was me alias [07:15] Aaqi1, /home//.wine [07:15] Aaqil: It's a hidden directory in your home directory called "wine". Inside are directories that contain all the programs you install while using wine. [07:15] hi, how can i instal or configure beryl in ubuntu 8.04? [07:16] I hit apply [07:16] name of a program that remembers what i've copied to the clipboard and easily allows me to recall it. [07:16] CaptainMurphy: You have to select the partition, mark it as formatted, and hit apply. Did you do all that? [07:16] ajax4: so i should manually delete files from that directory? [07:16] I'm using my gparted live cd now to do just that [07:16] its really working at it [07:16] Aaqil: Is there a directory in "wine" called "drive_c" ? [07:17] ajax4: yup [07:17] CaptainMurphy: You said before it did it quickly and didn't seem to go thru with it. Is it working now? [07:17] before I was using the ubuntu manual partitioner [07:17] and that didn't work [07:18] Aaqil: That's what wine uses as your windows drive c. Erasing that directory is just like erasing your C: drive on windows. [07:18] ajax4: there was some terminal command to un install some thing what was that please [07:18] now I'm using the gparted live cd, and it seems to be working [07:18] sudo removeall wine? [07:19] going to throw the ubuntu cd in there again and hopefully this time it won't vomit everywhere and die [07:19] Can anyone help me set up my dual display system? I have it set to twinview and I have a CRT monitor and a regular TV. The monitor is at 1600x1200 and the tv is 640x480, but instead of making 2 seperate displays it sets it as one big display thats 2240x1200, and then the part of the desktop that is "below" the tv is just cut off. Also when I fullscreen a video it spans across both displays and looks terrible... Someone the other night men [07:19] tioned something about xinerama but I'm not quite sure what that is. Anyone have experience with this sort of thing? [07:20] Aaqi1: I think its sudo aptitude remove wine [07:20] Bidget, do you have a nVidia card?

[07:21] How to add some application to my start programs that i log in to ubuntu and it runs automatically? [07:21] arooni: right click then select MOVE. You might have to unlock them first. [07:21] actually I think it might have been you that mentioned xinerama the other day but I could be wrong haha [07:21] how do i move things on the panel (from side to side)? things like temperature, word definitions, program icons etc..... [07:21] arooni-mobile: right click then select MOVE. You might have to unlock them first. [07:21] Bidget, you might install nvidia-settings .. it might allow you to change all the settings.. also.. I found that when connecting an external display (second monitor) I have to totally shut down and then start back up again.. sometimes is works .. sometimes not. [07:22] scunizi, I have tried restarting multiple times and it is still doing the same thing, will try nvidia settings though [07:22] thanks ajax4 [07:22] scunizi, actually nvidia-settings is what Ive been using already haha [07:23] Bidget, ah.. after shutting down and restarting.. have you run the configuration line at the first part of /etc/X11/xorg.conf? [07:24] ajax4, should i lock everything to the panel? [07:24] scunizi, Im not sure exactly what you mean so Im thinking probably not haha [07:24] Bidget, but leave out the "-phigh" part and it will ask questions. [07:25] !remove [07:25] Sorry, I don't know anything about remove [07:25] Bidget do a .... cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf | less and look for the line and write it down.. [07:25] arooni-mobile: It's up to you. They usually stay in place just fine but if you find that you are always accidentally moving them you might considering locking them.

Should I maybe try including the -phigh part of the command? [07:33] same problem!!! [07:33] right at 25% [07:33] Bidget, first restart x and see if it worked..

[07:37] ajax are you still there? [07:37] scunizi, so now nvidia-settings is telling me that Im not using an nvidia driver and to use nvidia-xconfig but when i try to do that it says that the data in /etc/X11/xorg.conf is incomplete because it's missing a driver line [07:37] !enter | administrator [07:37] administrator: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [07:38] scunizi, so it backed up my xorg and made a new one... what should I do now? [07:38] Can anybody help me install ubuntu over an old partion of ubuntu that no longer works!? === [ifroog|out] is now known as [ifroog] [07:38] Bidget, ok... do the reconfigure line again and add the -phigh [07:38] scunizi, k [07:38] Bidget, then restart x [07:39] CaptainMurph1: What are the system specs? [07:39] hey where did the trash directory go to? it used to be ~/.Trash but iirc it moved to ~/.config/trash or something like that, anyone remember specifically? [07:39] scunizi, no change [07:39] <_haywire_> CaptainMurph1 why don't you delete or format the partition and start fresh -- also did you burn your iso using hte slowest burn speed possible? [07:39] Bidget, did you restart x? [07:39] scunizi, when I added the -phigh it also didnt even ask me any questions [07:39] scunizi, yes [07:39] I just did [07:39] I jsut did [07:40] CaptainMurph1: What are the system specs? [07:40] I went in with a DIFFERENT live cd and deleated and created a new partiion [07:40] Bidget, check the System/Admin/hardware section and see if nvidia drivers are still tagged [07:40] god damn it this worked before why does it fail now? [07:41] I can't tell you very well off the top of my head [07:41] scunizi, there is a line there for the nvidia driver but the "enabled" box is unchecked, should I check it? [07:41] I'm in the liveCD mode of ubuntu because the install failed [07:41] Bidget, yes [07:41] !trash | Ademan [07:41] Ademan: The location of Trash has changed in 8.04, it is now located in ~/.local/share/Trash | Looking for the trash in previous versions: ~/.Trash [07:41] scunizi, k [07:41] maybe you can tell me how to get my specs from there? [07:41] scunizi, restart x now? [07:41] CaptainMurph1: You can try the alternate (not live) CD [07:41] thanks bastid_raZor [07:41] scunizi, oh actually it's telling me I will need to do a system restart, I'll be back in a minute or two [07:41] Bidget, after it loads and is done.. it should prompt you to restart.. [07:41] scunizi, yeah it did, brb [07:42] whats the alrernate? [07:42] <_haywire_> CaptainMurph1 are you trying to install with the live cd running? [07:42] no no no [07:42] I tried to install right off the CD [07:42] that didn't work [07:42] <_haywire_> ok [07:42] <_haywire_> what happened? [07:42] I got hit with errors copying files over for some dumb reason that makes no sense [07:42] CaptainMurph1: Low-spec'd systems have problems installing with the live CD. [07:43] then it loaded the live CD becuase it got errno5] input/output error [07:43] its a high spec machine [07:43] 2 gigs ram, dual core [07:43] <|Juan|> im trying to use the bless hex editor but whenever i try to save a file i get an error saying "There is not enough free space on the device to save file" even though its a 2mb file and i have 50gb free [07:43] 38 gigs for this partition === |Juan| is now known as Juan [07:43] !enter | CaptainMurph1 [07:43] CaptainMurph1: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [07:43] <_haywire_> captmurph and this same disc has worked in the past for install [07:43] all of a sudden my ubuntu is not privileged to mount my windows partition, anyone know why? [07:43] and it had a working version of ubuntu on it for about half a year === Juan is now known as |Juan| [07:44] <|Juan|> im trying to use the bless hex editor but whenever i try to save a file i get an error saying "There is not enough free space on the device to save file" even though its a 2mb file and i have 50gb free [07:44] why does my sound like crap? [07:44] sorry... I'm sorry, I'm just getting really frustrated with this process where everythign is failing and I don't understand why. I'll keep them to one line. [07:44] fallore: Have you modified fstab recently? [07:44] ajax4: nope, not to my knowledge [07:44] sounds distorted [07:44] scunizi, alright its restarted, should I try enabling my tv as a display now? [07:45] fallore: Usually when that happens your permissions are incorrect in fstab. [07:45] ajax4: if it helps, every so often my rhythmbox will not let me play music from that partition and i have to reboot or restart x multiple times till it sorts itself out [07:45] does fsck work fine on NTFS? [07:45] Bidget, yep [07:45] <_haywire_> CaptainMurph1 did u check md5 checksums on your cd disc? burn another iso using your burners slowest setting if you can [07:46] sounds like the sounds is "too loud" when i have the sound low? [07:46] I didn't check the md5 [07:46] help [07:46] but I did run the self test that the ubuntu cd has on it [07:46] <_haywire_> if the cd's popping up it's prolly all right then and if the live cd runs [07:46] fallore: I forget which lines you add to fstab for windows...lemme see if I can find that [07:47] <_haywire_> CaptainMurph1 do you have 7.04 around you can try [07:47] :( [07:47] Bidget .. one thing I found with my tv hooking it to my laptop is that you have to have the tv on and the computer off.. then boot.. if the tv doesn't display properly you might try turning the tv off and then back on again.. sometimes they have problems picking up the signal from the video card correctly. [07:47] help? [07:47] I might hold on. Does anyone have the md5 for ubuntu-8.04.1-desktop-i386.iso [07:48] scunizi, still doing the same as before [07:48] scunizi, I also restarted x and that doesnt help at all [07:48] can some1 help with sound? [07:49] c0mput3r; you could check alsamixer [07:49] scunizi, is there a way to set it up so they are 2 seperate displays and there isnt a big patch of dead space under the tv that I cant see? [07:49] <_haywire_> sound check: can you hear me now? [07:49] Bidget, you have the wrong resolution.. [07:49] it didnt sound llike crap b4 [07:49] does someone know how to install oicq in ubuntu [07:49] sounds like the sounds is "too loud" when i have the sound low [07:49] scunizi, what do you mean? [07:49] hello again [07:49] hello, how do I get city code to use in conky weather script [07:49] Bidget, what are you trying to set it for. the rez on the tv side? [07:49] scunizi, they are both set to what they should be [07:49] <_haywire_> ham_ it's not in the repository? [07:50] Bidget, which is? [07:50] scunizi, the tv is 640x480 and the monitor is 1600x1200 [07:50] sound gets distorted [07:50] wariskampar; google your weather city code [07:50] Bidget, what did you try to set the tv for? with nvidia settings [07:50] scunizi, 640x480... [07:50] u know when u have sound too loud? and the sound gets distorted? but i have the volume low [07:50] Bidget, lcd tv [07:50] ? [07:50] scunizi, no [07:50] scunizi, regular tv [07:51] wariskampar; #conky may also have more detailed help; they are a bit slow but have all the answers [07:51] Bidget, how are you hooking it up.. what kind of cable? [07:51] scunizi, component === mist_ is now known as mistform [07:51] Bidget, hang on a sec. [07:51] scunizi, it shouldnt be anything to do with the cables I can have both displays working fine in windows xp (I dualboot) [07:52] Hi. If I try to boot (k)ubuntu 8.04.1 in desktop mode or try to install it, "Loading Linux Kernel" gets stuck at 52%. Any ideas? [07:52] scunizi, I would just really like to get it working in ubuntu so I can be windows-free :) [07:52] haywire, how to check if in repository? [07:52] i am newer to ubuntu [07:52] Hi I just installed Nvidia-settings, I got my dual monitors set up and everything, BUT when i restart my computer the logon screen shows up on the extended monitor and i want it to be on the laptop monitor. [07:53] WHY DOES MY SOUND SOUND LIKE SHIT? [07:53] nate_ I am trying to set up both my displays and am having problems, are both of your displays the same resolution? [07:53] I checked the MD5 [07:53] where to find the application program running on ubuntu [07:53] the codes match. [07:54] no, they are different. my laptop is 1280/800 and my monitor is 1024/768 [07:54] <_haywire_> ham_ system > administration > synaptic package manager [07:54] nate_, when you're using them is there a sort of blank spot underneath one of the displays? do you get what I mean? [07:54] Bidget, 480x440 might fix the display [07:54] c0mput3r, stop recording manuer spreaders? [07:54] nate_, cause I am using a monitor and a tv and the tv is 640x480 and the monitor is 1600x1200 and below the tv it gets cut off its weird [07:55] scunizi, ok will give it a shot [07:55] hey, i seem to have some problem installing ubuntu cause of bad blocks.. i tried fsck with cf but it doesnt seem to do the trick, any ideas? [07:55] scunizi, I dont have the option of 480x440... [07:55] haywire, synaptic package manager can find all software ubuntu supported? [07:55] anybody know how to get virtualbox to work with usb? [07:55] no, i have that set up correctly. the resolutions are good on both. no weird spots. maybe its because one monitor is such a high resolution and the other is really low? [07:55] c0mput3r, first of all, do a hardware check. make sure the speakers are plugged in correctly, there are no shorts or frays in the cable, etc [07:56] Bidget, how are you going from a computer to the component cables? is there an interface box or something? [07:56] nate_, Im not sure but its like instead of setting both displays independantly it makes one big display of 2240x1200 and then the part below the tv is cut off its really annoying and I cant figure it out lol [07:56] or do you have the little boxes lined up and not overlapping? [07:56] scunizi, there is an adapter that plugs into my video card that has the component cables coming out [07:56] Bidget; you could look in X Server Display Configuration in Nvidia-settings to see if you can move the Layout of the tv monitor down [07:57] im trying to make my primary monitor my laptop i think thats what i need to do? [07:57] If I try to boot (k)ubuntu 8.04.1 in desktop mode or try to install it, "Loading Linux Kernel" gets stuck at 52%. Any ideas? [07:57] bastid_raZor, yeah but all that would do is create a blank spot above the monitor [07:57] <_haywire_> ham_ yes but you may have to add the universal repositories and/or user contributions [07:57] haywire, thank you [07:57] ham_, you need the good ubuntu repositories to be able to find the supported updates. [07:57] http://paste.ubuntu.com/51990/ [07:57] <_haywire_> ham_ your welcome :) [07:57] does anyone know the difference bw CRT/DFP on the monitor settings? [07:58] nate_, there should be an option in your settings to set which is the primary display, I have one on mine its just a little checkbox underneath the position and resolution settings [07:58] when I try to connect to a fps server, it says "Invalid GUID" [07:58] Bidget; then the resolution your card is pushing to the tv is not big enough, with component it does not resample the image and displays the exact resolution, if your tv is 1280x1024 but your card pushed 800x600 then it will have blank spots [07:58] fallore: I can't find it...but have to step away from my comp for a few minutes. I'll be back. [07:58] nate_, crt is the larger boxy monitors and dfp is a digital flat panel [07:58] Bidget; using an S-Video cable will fix the problem. [07:58] okay, ajax4, thanks [07:59] bastid_raZor, I dont have s-video out only component [07:59] bastid_raZor, actually I said that wrong, I have s-video out but my tv doesn't have s-video in [07:59] hmm okay [07:59] hey whats the pidgen console client called [07:59] ajax [07:59] Bidget; you'll need to get the tv resolution set correctly, otherwise you'll have blank spots. [08:00] Hello! I lost autostart for cd/dvd and sd-card. However, usb-flash properly and regularly autostarts. Can anyone help? [08:00] bastid_raZor, her tv is a standard one.. not a plasma or lcd.. difficult to believe that a standard tv could display 1280x1024 but it might if it was real quality [08:00] bastid_raZor, but it is set correctly... its set at 640x480, its not the resolutions that are the problem its that instead of setting the displays independantly with the tv at 640x480 and the monitor at 1600x1200, its creating one large display thats 2240x1200 that spans across both displays, and because I can only see 640x480 on the tv the part below is cut off [08:00] I checked the md5 and its correct. I downloaded two open source burning programs for windows (what I'm running on this junktop right now) and neither of them burn at any speed lower than "maximum" do you know any programs I can use to burn this cd slower so it might not have errors in the exact same place as another cd that I burned maybe months ago? [08:00] bastid_raZor, but I just want to be able to set it so it doesnt span across both displays... get what I mean? [08:01] CaptainMurph1: Yes? [08:01] scunizi, Im pretty sure I should only be setting this tv to 640x480 I dont want to wreck it or anything [08:01] well im gonna restart and see if this worked :) [08:01] Bidget; are you using xinerama or twinview? i assume you have an nvidia card? === [ID]-39 is now known as georgeZL [08:02] bastid_raZor, I am using twinview, whats xinerama? someone mentioned I should try it the other night but I dont know what it is or how to configure it [08:02] scunizi; that resolution was an example. [08:02] bastid_raZor, she's using twinview and would like to setup xinerama.. [08:02] bastid_raZor, and yeah its an 8800gt [08:02] fallore: Post your fstab to pastebin so I can take a look at it. [08:02] Bidget; in nvidia-settings you can set xinerama [08:02] bastid_raZor, where...? the only options I have are disabled twinview or seperate x screen (requires restart) [08:03] no? [08:03] bastid_raZor, do I have to install something seperately to get it to show up? [08:03] Bidget, sounds like seperate x screen [08:04] ajax4: how do i view it? [08:04] Does anybody know an open source cd burning program for windows that burns at a slower speed than "maximum" or is that my hardware acting up? [08:04] scunizi, well I tried the seperate x screen thing yesterday and it didnt seem to help, and I couldnt figure out how to go from one display to the other it was a little strange [08:04] fallore: the fstab file? [08:04] Does anyone know how to use winetricks to install dotnet2 [08:04] scunizi, it also ran VERY slowly [08:04] <_haywire_> CaptainMurph1 try infrarecorder [08:04] yes, ajax4 [08:05] Bidget; can you pastebin your xorg.conf? [08:05] bastid_raZor, sure one sec [08:05] <_haywire_> CaptainMurph1 if that don't work try deepburner [08:05] fallore: fstab is at /etc/fstab. You can use any text editor to view it. [08:05] I tried infracoder and CDvurnerXP [08:05] bastid_raZor, http://paste.ubuntu.com/51996/ [08:06] CaptainMurph1: Did you check the md5sum of the iso file you downloaded? Or the burned cd itself? [08:06] <_haywire_> captmurph i use nero and it does but it's complete bloat ware [08:06] bastid_raZor, I notice in there that it actually mentions xinerama but in my nvidia-settings it doesnt show up anywhere [08:07] is anyone using the new Seagate 1.5TB drives with Hardy? I keep getting "ata frozen", "resetting" errors in the kernel log (Ubuntu locks up for 30 sec each time it happens). Same install worked fine with 500GB Seagates. [08:08] !nvidia [08:08] For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [08:08] how do i ask the bot about the name of the nvidia default drivers package? [08:08] multiple 1.5TB drives - error seen on each. The specific command is a flush-to-disk command [08:09] Bidget; you have the exact same setup i have, you're sure 640x480 is the largest resolution your tv can handle? [08:10] bastid_raZor, I definitely dont want to push it... [08:10] k9copy keeps crashing in the middle of a rip, im using Ubuntu Hardy Heron amd64, any thoughts?? [08:10] bastid_raZor, since I cant see xinerama in my nvidia-settings is there a way that I can change to xinerama by changing one of the lines in xorg.conf? [08:10] WIGGMPk: Some DVD's have a new copy protection that causes that to happen. [08:10] Bidget; it isn't going to do any harm, rather display too large for the screen. [08:11] ajax4: whats the work around then? [08:11] I'm trying to research a cheap USB wifi adapter that will work "out-of-the-box" as much as possible on my WPA2 wifi network, on the latest version of Kubuntu.... does anyone have any recommendations? [08:11] ajax4: what copy protection would that be? because I need an equivalent to DVD Shrink & DVD Decrypter and there doesnt seem to be on for linux [08:12] I'm trying to run a script, but i get "Must be root to run this script...", although I have sudo in front [08:12] bastid_raZor, like on line 85 in xorg.conf would I just be able to change that to Option "Xinerama" "1" or something? [08:13] WIGGMPk: Try DVD Shrink and if it does the exact same thing, then it's the disc not the program. [08:13] Bidget; http://www.paralipsis.org/2006/01/enabling-xinerama-in-ubuntu/ [08:14] ajax4: i dont want to try DVD Shrink, that involves installing Windows on another machine or a virtual machine... this seems completely unnecessary === lipsin_ is now known as lipsin [08:14] bastid_raZor, thanks a lot :) [08:14] if you don't want to troubleshoot potential problems, that's up to you, he's just trying to help [08:14] WIGGMPk: I can't say for certain whether the disc your trying to backup is crashing because of the copy protection or the program you are using. If it's the copy protection, there is not much you can do. [08:14] you can run it under wine as far as i know === c0de1|off is now known as c0de1 [08:15] WIGGMPk: Install vobcopy...run vobcopy -m and see if it also locks up. [08:15] Bidget; be sure to make a backup of your current xorg.conf before making any changes. [08:15] ajax4: well I know for a fact its able to be copied.. it uses bad sectors to throw a wrench in the works.. but it pains me to see that theres no alternative for this [08:16] Bidget: just a thought when i se up tv out i had to add a line under Section "Device" that says Option "TVFormat" "NTSC-M" in order for it to look right on my tv (ntsc-m is for us and canada) [08:16] bastid_raZor, right [08:16] Hello! I lost autostart for cd/dvd and sd-card. However, usb-flash properly and regularly autostarts. Can anyone help? [08:16] legend2440, hmm interesting [08:16] How do I update grub? [08:16] legend2440, well once I get it set up even close to the way I want I will worry about that haha :D [08:16] ajax4: what im trying to ask is, why isnt there a SLEW of programs available? its seems like there is only 5, and half arent maintained [08:18] !nvidia-glx-new [08:18] Sorry, I don't know anything about nvidia-glx-new [08:18] !help [08:18] Hi! I'm #ubuntu's favorite infobot, you can search my brain yourself at http://tinyurl.com/5zfb6t - Usage info: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBots [08:18] Bidget; legend2440 is actually on to a possible fix. looking at my box that is connected via svideo to a TV i have several options that you're missing [08:18] bastid_raZor, I see... but enabling xinerama would be my first step anyway, right? [08:19] if I run an application inside a trimmed-down ubuntu in xen (on ubuntu) how would I go about accessing the files inside my app from the host os? [08:19] Bidget; i would try the options first, it may be an easier fix. let me give you my xorg and you can pick out what you may need. [08:19] WIGGMPk: The programs in the repositories have been sufficient for my needs. I don't know if even Windows programs would work on your DVD, which is why I suggested you try it and see. [08:19] bastid_raZor, ok [08:19] I need help, I installed Ubuntu on my sister in law's laptop, gateway mx3215, and I can't see the entire screen! The right right and bottom of the screen is just gone, can't see at all, the resolution is 1600x1200 it says and 0Hz refresh rate, I have options for other resolutions but none work and refresh rate has no other options. I have to guess click to even hit the log out button. I think everything is installed okay and I have done a [08:20] ? [08:20] ajax4: ive copied this DVD once before.. but installing Windows to test it again is just a step backwards.. please enlighten me.. what programs do you use? [08:21] WIGGMPk: I don't back up DVD's very often. When I do I use vobcopy or DVD::RIP. A few have freezed up when ripping regardless of the program I've tried. [08:22] ajax4: DVD::RIP eh? ive tried that, and the application itself looks messy [08:22] it's more for ripping to AVI [08:22] ajax4: and doesnt seem to work for me btw amd64 [08:22] handbrake is better === Compaq is now known as neo_chen [08:22] http://pastebin.com/m33566aeb Bidget [08:22] though it is a very nice piece of software [08:23] No one has any idea how to get the screen to show me the whole desktop? I'm desperate I can't even fully use the computer like this [08:23] xyzone: can handbrake rip to ISO and decode modern encryption? [08:23] could someone tell me or link me to how Ubuntu runs shutdown from the gnome desktop without needing a password from the user? [08:23] WIGGMPk, don't know, for that k9copy works fine, if it's crashing that's not normal [08:23] WIGGMPk: i assume you've got all of the proper packages (libdvdcss, etc) [08:23] xyzone: well it is [08:23] Daisuke_Ido: yes very much so [08:23] I've ripped with k9copy on 64 before [08:24] WIGGMPk: what program does copy that particular disc? [08:24] WIGGMPk: Admittedly, I think the selection of DVD Ripping software on Linux is not as good as that for Windows. However, it does the job for me. If you find the software unsatisfactory there is not much I can do about that. [08:24] I synchonised my contact list from my PocketPC using synce, it had downloaded the contact but I have no more contact into evolution... How can I add this contact into evolution and where are they? [08:24] so, it could be a bad disk, (bastard copy protection, don't buy these discs) [08:24] <`jives> i love the command line dvdripping on linux [08:24] ajax4: seems im better writing me own *cry* [08:24] <`jives> its the shizznizz [08:24] Daisuke_Ido: DVDFab Decrypter [08:24] Daisuke_Ido: unfortunatly its for Windows [08:24] can always see how well it'll run under wine :) [08:25] `jives: You use vobcopy? [08:25] if you're buying bad dvds that's your own fault [08:25] Daisuke_Ido: thats not an avenue I want to presue [08:25] <`jives> ajax4: i think i type the comand dvdshrink. its been a while now. [08:25] Daisuke_Ido: i dont see why the linux user should have to run to wine and a windows application all the time.. frankly it pisses me off (pardon my french) [08:26] never mind that, why does xine updates keep breaking vorbis sound in mkv [08:26] <`jives> i find wine runs apps too slowly.. [08:26] s'annoying [08:26] screw wine altogether... [08:26] jives: have you tried virtualbox? [08:26] except for the dev's.. that are doing a wonderful job [08:27] so whats the difference between wine and crossover pro [08:27] it really seems like the world hates vorbis, although its the better lossy format [08:27] `jives: wine tends to run at or above native speed, i dunno what you're using it for... [08:28] Daisuke_Ido: I need an application that can break modern encryption and rip DVD's to an ISO re-compressed for DVD5 format.. Is there a native linux app that can do that? [08:28] Daisuke_Ido: preferably for the gnome desktop [08:29] WIGGMPk: you're left with three options - run the program that works somehow, get on the devs to implement the new protection for the other rippers, or write your own. [08:29] this is my document and I am writing it, but it's chinese, I don't know that do you know. http://netkiller.hikz.com/book/website/ [08:29] hi [08:29] !piracy | WIGGMPk [08:29] WIGGMPk: piracy discussion and other questionably legal practices are not welcome in the Ubuntu channels. Please take this discussion elsewhere or abstain from it altogether. This includes linking to pirated software, music and video. Also see !guidelines and !o4o [08:29] you don't like wine, that's fine, i don't either, but sometimes it's the only choice [08:29] bastid_raZor: i live in Sweden, its legal [08:30] WIGGMPk; the discussion of it is not legal here, though. [08:30] the dvd encryption spec was done years ago, there is no new encryption [08:30] does ubuntu server edition come with a desktop? [08:30] bastid_raZor: so, i cant legally copy my OWN DVD's? or discuss it anywhere? [08:30] I can assure you some "new encryption" will even fail on regular DVD players if they're too old [08:30] WIGGMPk; #ubuntu-offtopic is better suited ;) [08:30] AussieGuy: no, that's why it's called the server edition. however, you can install any desktop you want [08:30] and that is complete bull [08:30] My internet connection seems to be running noticeably slower since I started using Linux, any ideas/suggestions? [08:31] bastid_raZor: im not asking what is better suited.. im asking if im legally allowed to discuss coping my own personal backups? [08:31] Ubuntu*, my bad [08:31] you can copy whatever you want in your own home [08:31] WIGGMPk; here, no. ubuntu-offtopic yes. [08:31] WIGGMPk: your hostname suggests that you're located in america. Eastern Pennsylvania. [08:31] bastid_raZor: the offtopic channel doesnt yield any answers to my problem === mija_na is now known as mija [08:31] axyjo: right now I am.. visiting relatives [08:31] Could setting certain .wav files for the system sounds somehow crash the system sounds? [08:31] axyjo: or maybe im just using a USA based proxy? [08:31] then right now this discussion isn' [08:32] t happening [08:32] what is the world coming to... [08:32] WIGGMPk: i'm pretty sure that freenode's based in america, where this is illegal. [08:32] (not just the servers, i mean the organization) [08:32] talking about it is illegal... like im plotting some global domination effort [08:32] WIGGMPk: oh no, people are following the laws of their locality! what's next? cats and dogs living together? it'll be anarchy! [08:33] Distort: http://www.ubuntu-unleashed.com/2008/05/howto-tweak-your-internet-connection.html [08:33] it's network policy, get over it. [08:33] it also makes a good hypervisor, which is good for my purposes [08:33] *sigh* [08:34] bastid_raZor: so I guess using the phrase "In theory" is out of the question lol [08:34] It's still legal to copy your own DVDs for your own personal use in America [08:34] Joshooa: oh? [08:34] It's just that everyone is actually sharing them with everyone [08:34] but i'm pretty sure it's illegal to share [08:34] yeah [08:34] WIGGMPk: That's everything I ever read says [08:34] Joshooa: well thanks for the duh. it is NOT permitted for discussion here, end of story [08:35] Joshooa: so technically im well within my rights? [08:35] to copy, yes [08:35] nvm [08:35] to discuss, no, i think. [08:35] WIGGMPk: I'm all with you, I think you're fine [08:35] to bug people incessantly when you should be at the very least filing bug reports, no. [08:35] my friend does some sales work....anyhow once he was showing a movie which is banned in australia, which he downloaded. and the cops walked in [08:35] they didnt do anything though [08:35] so how do I dance around this to find out which application is going to be more comparable to windows equivalents ??? [08:35] TRY THEM [08:36] oi [08:36] None to help with lost automount?!? [08:36] WIGGMPk: Yes, just download EVERY program and Try it, duh [08:36] google the app [08:36] WIGGMPk: :) [08:36] or hey, there's always google [08:36] i mean, it says it's a search engine, it might be able to return some sort of search result for the apps you're looking for [08:37] maybe... i could be wrong about that though [08:37] does anybody of you know how you can get a line that shows you where the pagewidth ends in a openoffice spreadsheet? [08:37] sarcasm is off topic! [08:37] Joshooa: but it's legal in the US! [08:37] lol [08:37] you see where this discussion is going [08:37] Daisuke_Ido: you sure abou that [08:38] no, not sure at all, but i'll be sure to give the president a call to check up on that just as soon as i can [08:38] Daisuke_Ido: K so if you're using my argument now than you're previous spiel about the DVDs is now null [08:38] lol @ "null" [08:38] Joshooa: did you miss the sarcasm bit? [08:39] Distort: wasn't the word I wanted, but I'm tired [08:39] Daisuke_Ido: Did you miss mine? [08:39] it's late, i've got a bit of a headache, i can't get to sleep and i have to be up in 3 hours [08:39] hello, I am not sure how I did this but firefox is taking a very long time loading the webpages, the download speed is fine. I haven't used IRC in something like 5 or 6 years, so if you can tell me where to ask my question, that will be great aswell. [08:39] so... take anything i say with a grain of salt [08:40] sufyan: I'm having the same issue~ [08:40] Daisuke_Ido: My point is, this room is about using Ubuntu, and he was asking about using Ubuntu, if everyone should use Google, why come here at all? That's all I'm saying [08:40] Distort: The webpages take time but downloads are fast? [08:41] how to read back the boot message ? [08:41] Joshooa: he was asking about dvd copying software - that's fine. he kept whining when people gave him solutions. THAT's where it got irritating :\ [08:42] sufyan: Downloads are faster than loading webpages, but they are still slow. [08:42] where are wine PRograms files located? [08:43] dn4: /home/user/.wine/drive_c/ [08:43] where user is your username [08:43] is there any way at ubuntu to take the effects without restarting the xorg after i had changed the xorg.conf, i am adding Virtual part at a Subsection [08:44] ogzy: nope [08:44] ogzy; you have to restart X .. ctrl alt backspace will keep you from rebooting the entire box [08:45] Daisuke_Ido: i think "whining" is a strong word dont you? yes, i was given solutions but I have already tried those solutions and I came to this chatroom to find out about any other application that my "google" search might have overlooked.. [08:46] WIGGMPk, it's your disc [08:46] most likely [08:46] ubuntu cant shutdown or reboot. it freezes , i have to ctrl+alt=backspace to shutdown the gdm. how to fix it? [08:47] hi [08:47] hi, I'd like to have one of the specials keys of my keyboard to launch gvim. There is no such action yet in the keyboard shortcuts settings program - how can I add it? [08:47] !intrepid [08:47] 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! [08:48] are using metacity or compiz? [08:49] Is it possible to have desktop effects without compiz? I like the sliding between workspaces but don't want all the compiz overhead. [08:49] are u using metacity or compiz? [08:49] aptg3tm0o: metacity [08:49] you should be able to add it through gconf-editor [08:50] thanks, will try [08:50] Can someone help me set up xinerama? It is not showing up in my nvidia-settings so I tried to do it manually by editing my xorg.conf http://paste.ubuntu.com/52010/ I followed this tutorial http://www.paralipsis.org/2006/01/enabling-xinerama-in-ubuntu/ anybody know where I went wrong? [08:50] go to /apps/metacity/global_keybindings [08:50] the /apps/metacity/keybindings_commands [08:51] then /apps/metacity/keybindings_commands [08:51] aptg3tm0o: and then I edit one of the run_command_X? [08:51] aptg3tm0o: where do I configure which command gets executed? [08:52] yes, you should edit the unused one [08:52] /apps/metacity/keybindings_commands [08:52] aptg3tm0o: thanks! [08:52] ur welcome [08:53] hey guys, i'm trying to install the patch for hostap drivers to allow injection in heron [08:53] aaand having a bit of trouble doing so :\ [08:53] who could i speak to about this? [08:54] aptg3tm0o: how do i get the right keycode? [08:54] Are there any alternatives to compiz for the gnome desktop? [08:54] aptg3tm0o: i think i need something like "0xb7" but "xev" shows totally different codes [08:54] why would u need a keycode? [08:55] aptg3tm0o: it's a special key [08:55] just put like for example [08:55] aptg3tm0o: it's one of the special keys on my keyboard, not a regular key [08:56] um u can check in a terminal [08:56] aptg3tm0o: i found it by using the normal dialog [08:56] Can someone help me set up xinerama? It is not showing up in my nvidia-settings so I tried to do it manually by editing my xorg.conf http://paste.ubuntu.com/52010/ I followed this tutorial http://www.paralipsis.org/2006/01/enabling-xinerama-in-ubuntu/ anybody know where I went wrong? [08:56] i forgot the command [08:56] Does anyone have ANY ideas what would cause Ubuntu to not display the entire desktop or be stuck at a supposed 0Hz refresh rate? [08:56] aptg3tm0o: it works, thanks [08:57] good then [08:57] hey, is there a way to install ubuntu without using the graphical installer? [08:58] Joshooa; your resolution is incorrecdt [08:58] moinsen [08:58] omgd; the alternate cd [08:58] omgd: get the alternative cd [08:58] I wonder who is maintaing the Anjuta IDE package? [08:59] bastid_raZor: I wish it was that easy, I can't even change the resolution, only 1600x1200 is clear, everything else comes out as that crazy jumble of lines where you can't see anything, and no matter what, refresh rate is 0, that has to be an error. No matter what rez I choose, only 1600x1200 is clear, but no bottom or right side of desktop [08:59] Aron: apt-cache show anjuta should say [08:59] thanks [08:59] Joshooa; which video card? [09:00] bastid_raZor: Built in one on a laptop [09:00] so.. [09:00] anyone able to help? [09:00] ah, tnx! [09:00] Can someone help me set up xinerama?

[09:12] guys [09:12] im linux newbie [09:12] i need help [09:12] hi [09:12] i got ubuntu gutys gibbon 7.10 [09:12] yay we got a new one, what [09:12] anybody know why this is segfaulting on line 30? http://paste.ubuntu.com/52015/ [09:12] 's the prob [09:12] it won't boot [09:12] Dog, why dont u get hardy heron? [09:13] is there any way to fix kopete-kde4 crashes on login to ejabberd servers? [09:13] ill see that later coz it will take me time to download 700megs [09:13] got a slow net [09:13] darkone: you have to fix your source.list. you can sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list and fix line no 53 [09:13] Dog: Did it used to boot? [09:13] its shows error"noapic [09:13] something like that [09:13] ty kl [09:14] 111 [09:14] 这是什么？ [09:14] suggestions? [09:14] yh [09:14] it used to come till that load screen [09:14] my suggestion was hardy, im a noob too [09:14] then blank out [09:15] help me linux pros [09:16] Dog: you did you already installed it [09:17] let me explain i put the disc boot it then in options i give command acpi=off and boot then the ubuntu load screen appers after sometime it just blanks out(its a live cd) [09:17] ......没有中国人吗？？？ [09:18] mos_, this is english only [09:18] Dog: what if you don't do acpi=off? [09:18] dog try the alternative cd, for some reason some machines just don't like the live one but they'll install juts fine off the alt. [09:18] !ch | mos_ [09:18] Sorry, I don't know anything about ch [09:18] !chinese | mos_ [09:18] mos_: For Ubuntu help in Chinese 您可以访问中文频道： #ubuntu-cn 或者 #ubuntu-tw 或者 #ubuntu-hk [09:18] ran into two of these last week..

[09:19] !mandarin | mos_ [09:19] Sorry, I don't know anything about mandarin [09:19] noapic, pci=noapci, and acpi=off are all different params you could use [09:19] !japanese | mos_ [09:19] mos_: 日本語の場合は #ubuntu-jp または #kubuntu-jp を参照して下さい [09:19] !chinese | mos_ [09:19] mos_: For Ubuntu help in Chinese 您可以访问中文频道： #ubuntu-cn 或者 #ubuntu-tw 或者 #ubuntu-hk [09:20] my net download speed in 256kbps [09:20] or 30KBPs [09:20] looked like chinese to me, not jap.. [09:20] I really hope mos is saying, "How do I change my font back into english????" [09:20] hello, is there any posibilities that i can manage to build or configure my ubuntu server to handle 4 isp connection [09:20] Dog, you have good speed, you can also do online install [09:20] is it [09:20] but how? [09:20] hehe, probably.. or 'how do I change my keyboard layout back to en' [09:21] zcat[1]: That would be awesome, cause he'll get answers on the other rooms, but wont be able to read them! *cackle* [09:21] Dog: did you try noapic or pic=noapic (as suggested by Joshooa) [09:21] I keep mine in Māori .. don't really know a word of it (apart from 'rorohiko') but I like to be able to do macrons [09:22] Dog: pci=noapic [09:22] i have tried noapic [09:22] and nolapic [09:22] zcat[1], i love you [09:22] k1dugar: Hey I just said it was a valid param that i found I didn't suggest it [09:22] and vga=771 [09:22] coz i also had that frequecy error === Milos is now known as __blank [09:22] k1dugar: this is the info I was referring to run without I/O APIC ("noapic" [09:22] kernel param), no ACPI-based PCI routing ("pci=noapci"), [09:22] or completely without ACPI ("acpi=off"). [09:23] Dang sorry didn't think it'd paste enters!! [09:23] Why is there no mod_access as external package or such? Was there a reason for this decision? [09:23] hey , im running ubuntu 2 years now and i decide to upgrade my computer to a complete new one. how can i know the parts i choose will work with 8.04 or 8.10 ? there is a company i shall stick with ? intel-based or so ? [09:23] Lior, best to use intel for processor and LAN card and geforce for graphics === __blank is now known as Milos [09:24] Lior, you could use other products like ATI and such, but they are not supported as much [09:24] guys tell me what commands to chose while booting [09:24] bah no, intel for graphics!!! [09:24] to avoid out of frequency error [09:24] Dog: which version you want, 7.10 or 8.04 [09:24] and acpi error [09:24] latest [09:24] zcat[1], are you insane? intel graphics? that would suck hard... get geforce :p [09:24] NVIDIA [09:24] Daft_Punk: Uh, why Intel for processor? [09:24] nvidia are the only holdouts now, intel have gone Open, ami and via are following.. [09:24] i see , what about the Mboard ? intel chips ? [09:24] Lior: http://www.ubuntuhcl.org/ [09:24] thanks [09:24] recent intel graphics are not so bad. === Milos is now known as NickNick === NickNick is now known as Milos [09:25] xnv, amd is not power efficient and intel has better processors than AMD at the moment (they are beating AMD in the market), regardless if AMD is slightly faster, it generates more heat and can burn out without sufficient heatsinks [09:25] Dog: latest is 8.04 as stable but 8.10 which will be released after a month [09:25] Daft_Punk: So in other words, you're giving your opinion about processors, not about their compatibility with Ubuntu. Thanks for clearing that up. [09:25] i can update 8.04 to 8.10 later right without formatiing [09:26] xnv, in other words, processors dont have compatibility issues with ubuntu... just graphics and LAN cards for the most part [09:27] Daft_Punk: I thought intels got insanely hot without heatsinks? [09:27] Joshooa, they did a test on them, without a heatsink on an intel the processor freezes up until the heatsink is put back on. with amd if the heatsink is taken off, it will literally start smoking and possibly burn the mobo [09:27] Daft_Punk: I think that video is like 10 years old [09:28] sorry, in my ubuntu 7.10 in console, when I double press tab it suggests me what can I input. In example i type down chown it lists me all the users. How can I make my own application have that functionality ? [09:28] Dog: you can download http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ports/releases/hardy/release/ an "Alternate install CD" [09:28] xnv, its not 10 years old, it was done while playing UT2, plus that still applies to today [09:28] Dog: sure you can update [09:28] Daft_Punk: I've seen no evidence of that, so I doubt you have. [09:28] wangor: Write a supporting file for the shell you use. See the documentation of your shell on how to do this... [09:28] the intels throttle back.. doesn't mean they don't generate ore heat under normal operating conditions though.. my understanding is that AMD do more work per clock cycle and therefore use slightly less power and generate less heat for the same workload [09:29] k thx [09:29] Dog: its just one command and its updated [09:29] xnv, by your comments i am assuming you are using AMD, there is no problem with that, im just saying that you have to have better heat dissipation, and that some of the newer high end intels are better than the higher end AMD's since intel is releasing quads and soon octas [09:29] Daft_Punk: Yeah I saw a vid like that, pretty sure from TomsHardware, but I swore it was the intels that would smoke and AMDs just froze up the game. Researching now :) [09:29] nd_: thanks [09:29] Joshooa, mk let me know how that goes :p [09:29] hello. i have an ibm netvista thin client here. it is an old thingy. the first problem with it is that it doesn't want to use pxe boot despite that i configure it's bios to do so. so it uses NFS. despite that i tell it not to do so. so i use nfs to give it the pxelinux.0 image and it fetches it and then it says that it is an unsupported file type... why? [09:29] k thx kl dugar [09:30] xnv: he's correct that intels throttle back, he's not correct in assuming that this means they're 'better' in the sense of being more efficient or running cooler or whatever [09:30] I want to install debian gdm default theme which is moreblue (I think). can someone tell me from where I can get it. [09:30] Dog: welcome [09:30] Daft_Punk: Again, I don't think you have any empirical evidence of this. And no, I don't use AMDs, but I don't avoid them. [09:30] gnome-look.org? [09:31] d1g1t: can't find it there [09:31] i get this often when trying to sync files between my dekstop ubuntu and laptop ubuntu: The file /home/chasetoys/.unison/lk8ae5244da92b5f7fca7b2fa9ac3d695c on host BigArooni should be deleted [09:31] ... how do i fix? [09:31] xnv, you don't have any empirical evidence against what im saying, so you shouldn't be so quick to dismiss it [09:32] zcat[1], in the "better" intels, i am talking about the NEW high end intels vs the newer AMD's on the market, if your comparing older processors, its more difficult, since AMD has a higher FSB it performs better at a lower clock rate [09:32] I've always preferred AMDs and NVIDIA but since Intel have gone a lot more Open Source friendly lately I'd be looking at an intel chipset the next time I buy a machine.. including intel graphics (I don't care about gaming that much, I just want compiz to work..) [09:33] Daft_Punk: Damn you intel! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XgOmMAasqto [09:34] anyhow, about the AMD burnout thing, yes.. Toms Hardware did a video ages back. Pull the heatsink off an AMD and it bursts into flames. Do the same with an intel and it clocks back to some really low clock speed to keep the temperature under control [09:34] I thought AMD fixed that ? [09:34] Daft_Punk: I wasn't quick. I tried to find out if you had any. And saying "you can't prove me wrong, so I'm right" is a logical fallacy. [09:35] xnv i didnt say i was 100% right due to a lack of evidence against what I am saying, that was an assumption on your part [09:35] zcat[1]: Yes, you got it right... "ages back" [09:35] Joshooa, i bet it smelt like hot dogs:) [09:35] No idea if they ever 'fixed' that .. I'm simply saying the video does exist. I've seen it. daft_punk seems to recall seeing it. [09:35] Daft_Punk: "i didn't say I was 100% right"? You mean I have to wait for you to say "I'm 100% right" before I question the advice you give people? [09:36] zcat[1], the only reason that happens is because of a higher FSB pushing through more data through a slower clock rate, it just uses more energy and creates more heat on smaller chips, which means it needs a stronger method of cooling compared to that of intel... [09:37] personally I'd say amd user to be slightly ahead of intel, right now I think they're about even. [09:37] thank you.. i am just going to have to re-install the OS i don't want to wreck the OS any farther [09:37] *used [09:37] xnv, ok obviously "advice" is biased, regardless who gives it, it is the advise of that person based on personal experiencecs. you are comparing apples and oranges here (windows and linux) both have pros and cons that outweigh eachother, i dont know why you are fixated on making this into an issue [09:37] yo yo === sean is now known as Guest65641 [09:37] man I haven't played with a yo yo in forever [09:38] How can I find out when mailman 1:2.1.9-10 will be released for Hardy? [09:38] Daft_Punk: nothing to do with how much heat each chip generated, it was because AMD kept going full speed when the heatsink got removed.. Intel had circutry to protect against it by dropping the clock speed [09:38] Daft_Punk: I guess I was annoyed that someone asked for compatibility info and you gave them product advocacy. [09:38] heh Joshooa , iam a mixer in a club iam talkin about the "yo" === mk is now known as Guest5690 [09:39] chmac: as soon as the new versions re released we will have some changes from our side as well and it will aper in synaptic [09:39] at normal clock speeds AMDs and Intels put out about the same amount of heat.. [09:39] rohan: It's out already, and there's a bug (albeit a small one) in .9 [09:39] .. and need about the same amount of cooling to keep running safely and/or at full speed [09:40] rohan: Is there somewhere I can report that the new version is out? I'm not really finding my way round launchpad [09:40] zcat[1]: point? [09:40] Daft_Punk: iam sorry could you please pm me a copy of your quesry [09:40] xnv, that person asked about intels and graphics cards, I just said that intel is better to use for LAN and NVIDIA for graphics as they are the most compatible for ubuntu, I dont know why I said CPU exactly as that isnt really a compatability issue with ubuntu [09:40] rohan, of my what? [09:40] anyhow, if you plan to run gNewSense ou want intel video ;) [09:41] Daft_Punk: iam sorry could you please pm me a copy of your query/discussion topic [09:41] Let me spin my question another way. If I manually edit /etc/logrotate.d/mailman will it still be updated when the new mailman is release? [09:41] Or will my changes prevent the file being updated by apt? [09:41] chmac: yep [09:41] rohan: It will still be updated? [09:41] Daft_Punk: Maybe we just interpreted differently... "how can i know the parts i choose will work with 8.04 or 8.10 ? there is a company i shall stick with ? intel-based or so ?" ... to me that is not asking if one is better than the other, but if one will work better with Ubuntu [09:42] I use windows xp for some stuff still while having ubuntu too and using grub. Now I want need to change xp to vista. Will Grub be overwritten or something when I install vista? [09:42] chmac: apt will check for version if new/latest exists if not it will update [09:42] rohan: If I edit the file, does apt do any type of integrity check before updating? [09:42] gmic: almost certainly [09:42] chmac: configure sources properly if a source/mirror is not available it will not be updated [09:42] !grub | gmic [09:42] gmic: grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto [09:43] chmac: only executables and libreries not for config files [09:43] thanks, reading... [09:43] or you can create one grub [09:43] Hi there, whats the best way to install WINE? from the reps or from their site? [09:43] rohan: Ok, it's an executable I think, but I'll check, thanks [09:43] gmic: grub is pretty easy to reinstall anyway... [09:44] chmac: any time [09:44] Can someone please help me with installing dhcp3-server? Thanks :) [09:44] hello, im having trouble with my sessions, everytime i restart, i end up with the same session. [09:44] zcat[1], I guess the link you showed me will be enough (and hopefully simple enough to reinstall grub) [09:44] AdvoWork: for a recent wine, add their repos ... [09:44] AdvoWork: You should follow the instructions on their site to add the repository to your computer [09:44] Peddy: what kind of help? [09:44] Theeb go to system>preferences>session>session options>untick that box [09:45] rohan whenever it gets run from init.d/ it says 'fail'. [09:45] Peddy, i did , :( [09:45] hi all, does anyone know which package should I install to get the file /etc/auth-client-config/profile.d/krb-auth-config ? [09:45] peddy: check configs are they ok? [09:45] Peddy, it doesnt help [09:46] Theeb sorry I'm a noob :P can't help you there. ask others [09:46] Hmmm.. bleeding edge wine.. I wonder if I can get MSIE7 and/or Office2007 working it that ;) [09:46] Joshooa on the wine site i assume? [09:46] hi, how to i re-install locales? i'm not able to locale-gen because localedef hangs with 100% cpu [09:46] rohan: i installed the default configs as well [09:46] scuser:whow! lol ive never herd of such a search criteria [09:46] rohan: it can't stop or start. [09:46] hello all [09:46] I'll start with the MSIE7 installer... [09:46] Peddy, ya man im noob also :p [09:46] rohan: so ? [09:47] plus my openoffice crushes everytime i save the file [09:47] peddy: config not only hold network settings many other things as well [09:48] peddy: have a look o your config files DHCP will fail if settings are wrong [09:48] k i'll pastebin it [09:49] hrmmm, If I run gnome-terminal --window-with-profile -e 'screen -RR -U' it first opens a window with default profile, then one with the profile i specify, how can I just use the profile.. so I dont want 2 terms to be opened, any idea? [09:49] rohan, does is /etc/dhcp/dhcp3/dhcp.conf the *only* conf file dhcpd-server relies on? [09:49] peddy: yes [09:50] hmmm, ive followed the instructions on the site to add WINE to the repositories, now what though? install from package manager? [09:50] !DHCP3 > rohan [09:50] Sorry, I don't know anything about dhcp3 [09:50] rohan I got a bunch of filenames wrong there [09:50] AdvoWork: If you added the key then the repo, sudo apt-get update, sudo apt-get install wine [09:50] rohan: but that doesn't matter, what I was trying to ask is there only 1 config file? [09:51] peddy: yes [09:51] Joshooa thanks [09:52] rohan: ok, then I'm 100% sure it's not a config problem. Besides, I've purged and reinstalled. [09:52] AdvoWork: No problem, I would have answered sooner but I'm installing ubuntu on a laptop and watching Planet Earth [09:52] Planet Earth is awesome....watched a few hours of that earlier - sorry to be OT >.> [09:53] rohan are there any logs I can check? [09:53] CyberClown, yeah i got it all on blu-ray, isnt that stuff awesome? [09:54] ubuntu support blue-ray? [09:54] anyone here installed Sage on ubuntu? using WINE? [09:54] ntinos_, yeaaaaah [09:54] Okay, so if I boot up a 7.10 CD, I can see my entire desktop, but the install fails, if I use my 8.04, it can't handle showing me the entire desktop for some reason, where do I go about finding what changed that ruins Ubuntu usage on the laptop? Anyone? [09:54] hardy does [09:54] omg it's daft punk [09:55] Xubuntu 8.04 does it too, and I have no more cds to try and burn 7.10 again [09:55] - Nautilus Actions is located in System > Preferences.

[10:07] ;( [10:07] hey guys, when i try to log into courier i disconnected and in syslog it says something like "cannot find Maildir" [10:07] Peddy, do u mean unlocked? or actual OS mods [10:07] go to uiq-look.org.

[10:09] does some one know something about the update problem / thunderbird get broken? [10:09] Matic`Makovec, we are talking about sony ones... which pwn IMO, cuz its sony [10:09] Peddy, i havent tried bitpim on ubuntu yet - but i do use it for my lg on windoz [10:09] zeth-ubuntu" you mean pinging just like irc right? [10:09] rohan ... I think so [10:09] my favourite mods for UIQ3 are louder volume and menu unlocking. [10:09] Nokia is way better then Sony when it comes to such devices...but seriously, this _is_ Ubuntu channel [10:09] if wine doesnt open a program, can i find out why? its flashing up something(the app intro screen) then closing [10:09] zeth-ubuntu: -----> #kde [10:09] Matic`Makovec, then stop talking about nokia phones! [10:10] You people started an offtopic conversation [10:10] AdvoWork: You could try opening it through a terminal so you can read the output [10:10] But anyway. [10:10] AdvoWork: dll crash liberary problem, invalid settings , resorce problem [10:10] nokia phones have their place - but being able to hack the crap out of a phone without diego is pretty nice ;) [10:10] Joshooa how would i do that?

[10:13] user__, there is k3b which is fairly "standard" [10:13] kane77: hmm.. it wasn't that either.. it was small [10:13] I really liked it [10:13] Daft_Punk: I do this all the time. Once I asked a question about 10 times over some hours. Then I asked it in #linux, got a reply within 5 min.

[10:14] kane77: no that wasn't it either.. I don't mind k3b but it won't convert my mp3s to wave format first.. before burning [10:14] user__: Serpentine [10:14] hateball: yeah! that was it [10:14] Isn't getting something to run in Ubuntu or getting Ubuntu to run some program or anything that involves going around in or adjusting settings for Ubuntu still considered Ubuntu support? It's like, if anything ever breaks, there's a sub room I need to know of about Ubuntu [10:14] xbxbxb you just got an answer to that question [10:14] user__: Brasero will convert on the fly tho [10:14] koshari: funny. [10:14] user__, do you mean to burn mp3's to audio cd? [10:14] AdvoWork: What are you trying to run? [10:15] hateball: hmm I tried that and it told me that it doesn't have a codec [10:15] xbxbxb, so maybe your questions are too advanced for this channel? [10:15] kane77: yup.. sorry that's what I meant [10:15] user__, k3b can do this as well, but you have to install a package [10:15] !info ubuntu-restricted-extras | user__ [10:15] anyone?

[10:18] Daft_Punk: thats one of the most nonsense staments I've heard, please keep that sort of offtopic randomness to other channels [10:19] babaklinux you need to compile it with a compilers, gcc is the "norm" on most liniux platforms [10:19] linxu platforms [10:19] ikonia, dont be jumping to assumptions, i was just putting together what koshari and xbxbxb said... take a chill pill [10:19] Daft_Punk: no, please keep that sort of nonsense out of this channel [10:19] Can someone help me with my webcam?

[10:21] unfortunately I cannot change settings like in windows's skype [10:21] mija did you search the thunderbird-mozilla forums? [10:21] nope only ubuntu forums [10:21] but a good idea [10:21] ;=) [10:21] mija: there was an update a day or so ago for some of the core libraries for thunderbird/firefox, it may sound obvious but if you have done this updated with thunderbird or firefox running,you need to restart them [10:22] ikonia: i had restartet 3 times [10:22] joerack: sorry, but I really have little idea about how skype on linux deals with webcams [10:22] !pm > Daft_Punk [10:22] Daft_Punk, please see my private message [10:22] am i right in thinking "fixme" errors have no fix?

[10:24] yes i do it today [10:24] CET +01 [10:24] mija: Hmmm not sure what's out today and whats required, again, this may sound obvious, but rebooting the box to make sure your updates are applied is a good step forward before panicing [10:24] shashi1 its enabled by default in the bookmarks area [10:24] shashi1: Enter some folder and bookmark it [10:25] ikonia: ok i will reboot my machine again... be back in 5 minutes [10:25] bazhang, what are you talking about? you asked what the issue was, i told you, and now you are saying i am chatting? whatever [10:25] mija I know its "obvious" but it doesn't hurt to make sure updates are applied === mija is now known as mija_na [10:26] anyone in here good at trouble shooting usb drive issues :D [10:26] n00b: depends on the issue [10:27] hey guys, when i try to log into courier i disconnected and in syslog it says something like "cannot find Maildir", I tried to make a folder Maildir in all the obvious places but no change [10:27] moncojhr_: you don't make a Maildir it needs to be ain a specific format, there are tools like maildirmake [10:27] usb issue: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=932543 [10:27] hateball yeah === mija_na is now known as mija [10:28] ikonia: alright, ill try that.. again, although i did try to do that before [10:29] n00b can you define "crash" please [10:29] ok [10:29] using 128 fat drive [10:29] i plug the drive in [10:29] hotplugged - it opens a nautilus and i can navigate around [10:29] !enter | n00b [10:29] n00b: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [10:29] ok. thank you. [10:29] ikonia: it looks like that i am be stupid.... but the reboot of the complete machine solve's the problem.... i don't know why. The only thing why a reboot is needed are on kernel upgrades. But for only one package?.... [10:30] AdvoWork: Well then there's no real fix, just work in progress :) You can disable the error messages for speed increases tho. === fl0w_ is now known as fl0w [10:30] say i go to xfer a 3mb file - no problems - i go to xfer an 80mb file, it will transfer about 50mb of it and then stop - do the compiz grey out, and my mouse will stop working - sorry about the punctuation [10:30] mija nah, if libraries update that the desktop needs you need to restart X (which a reboot does) [10:31] n00b so your whole desktop goes grey ? [10:31] ikonia: i believe you.. but i have made a ctrl + alt + backspace [10:31] n00b is it possible your flooding the bush [10:31] heh [10:31] bus [10:31] just that nautilus and file progess window - all other apps run fine [10:31] define: flooding the bush [10:31] mija depends what was updated [10:31] n00b the bus [10:31] n00b: gross :-D [10:31] ikonia: easy... important is that it works [10:31] ;=)))))) [10:32] lol - i only do 1 file operation at a time - and only one file at a time - no multiple [10:32] mija I'll look at what the recent updates are today [10:32] n00b yes but you have lots of devices hanging off that bug [10:32] hub [10:32] n00b: try removing anything but a disk and testing it, then add the next disk test it, add the next disk, test it, add the mouse, test it, etc etc [10:32] frim the laptop 2 things are plugged in 1. the hub (which has the mouse and mouse charger) and 2. the drive [10:33] will do tests, brb [10:33] n00b: your post says you have 3 drives plugged in [10:33] ok [10:33] n00b: 2 mouse devices, 3 disks [10:33] all into the hub === lucas_ is now known as bfl [10:33] i mean that i HAVE 3 drives - but to clarify i only use 1 at a time [10:33] ahh, I see [10:34] n00b: when your desktop hangs, and you do modprobe, as it eh ehci_hcd module loaded BEFORE you re-do the modprobe [10:35] do not understand what you wish me to do in that last comment - it has not locked up, but it is transferring at 3mb/s (normal is around 11) [10:36] n00b you said compiz goes "grey" [10:36] correct [10:36] n00b: it is 3mb/s because the hub is stressed out [10:36] that is normally associated with a desktop not responding [10:36] n00b: is the hub powered ? [10:37] interesting... no hub is used atm - just 1 usb drive directly to the laptop [10:37] I have a question regarding software RAID. I've set up a 4 disc raid array (which is really fast) but sometimes during flushing the system stops responding for a second or two. This is quite annoying. I know Sofware RAID uses more CPU but I cannot see a significant increase in CPU usage when this happens. Any ideas? [10:37] whats a good commandline based app for playback of shoutcasts? [10:38] i want to plug a computer into a computer into a monitor and one computer to display what was on the other computer. so is there some sort of vga in card? [10:38] patrik: i hope your ubuntu files are not in the array [10:38] patrik I assume you used mdadm to build the array, which raid level did you use what raid controller are you using [10:38] tyberion - I use kstreamripper - you can either listen to, or rip then [10:38] ikonia: i made the maildir using maildirmake and its still not finding it, i have no idea where im ment to be making it [10:38] hi all, can anyone help me with this error "ldap_sasl_bind(SIMPLE): Can't contact LDAP server (-1)" [10:38] ndan: better detail [10:38] moncojhr_ can you show me the error please. [10:38] ikonia: rohan: Everything is on my RAID 0 array. [10:39] scuser: it means your authing against an ldap server, and it can't connect to the ldap server to auth [10:39] patrik: and this is software raid, not fake raid (you used mdadm to create the array) [10:39] rohan: tv tuner card. but using vga connections. vnc has fps problems. viewing multiple computers on one screen... including games [10:39] patrik: then you have your own answer [10:39] ikonia: It's software RAID, I used the ubuntu installer to set it up. [10:39] n00b: wwaaa thats some kdde thingie:) are there even any alternatives? [10:40] ikonis: I've specified the server IP and it's trying to connect but couldn't what may be the reason for that? [10:40] tyberion - it works in ubuntu - search for kstreamripper in synaptic [10:40] basically i'm planing 5 computers connected as one with the 5th being the hub displaying the four computers around a cube. [10:40] ndan:is english your native language if you have language problems tell us our native language and we will transfer to the specific channel [10:40] scuser wrong bind credentials, server not avaialble, your not authorized to use the server, could be anything [10:41] ndan: i need full deatil please [10:41] My Netbeans stops from typing after some time, anyone experienced this? Using Hardy [10:41] ikonia: but I can connect to it from a client installed on the server's machine but not from remote machine [10:41] i believe ndan is looking to have 4 computers display as their own desktop and have the 5th computer display them on the cube accordingly [10:41] rohan: Can you explain to me why this happens? Do I get a huge flood of IRQs because of the RAID 0 setup when flushing? [10:41] ikonia: that means that the server is working well [10:42] noob: exactly [10:42] patrik: os files also get stressed out when flushing [10:42] scuser so maybe it's not listening on the right interfaces, maybe you have not setup remote authorization, maybe a typo in the config file [10:42] scuser just because you can connect locally does not mean the server is "working" === foneshield is now known as boulbul [10:43] n00b: so how do i get this fifth computer to processes the data for the four computers... no vgi in port in a computer [10:43] ndan: i see the hub pc should have a very good vga [10:43] can someone say my name [10:43] ndan: use KVM switch [10:43] zeth-ubuntu: ?? [10:43] thanks rohan ... just testing the notifications [10:44] ndan - i have no clue how to do that, but like rohan said, you will need a very good video card [10:44] rohan: Ok. I'll get a new disc for the OS then. Thanks for the help. [10:44] ndan: extermly good if you siad games for even 30fps from 4 computers thats huge! [10:45] patrik: your welcome [10:46] ndan: for better VNC performance install dfmirage driver in all systems and setup a 1gbps lan [10:46] k will check these ideas out [10:46] thanks [10:47] ndan: your welcome [10:49] audacious just crashed, now theres like a "duh-duh-duh-duh" audio repeating over and over again, how do i clear that off and reset the audio system ASLA i guess without logging out and logging back in (or restarting) :( [10:49] rohan:kvm switch won't work at all... n that won't fix the fps latency in vnc. [10:50] ndan: why not kVM? [10:50] How can I run a command for a specific user? [10:50] see if you have four tv tuner in cards you can put 4 shows around a cube. i want this principle around a desktop... using other desktops as the "show" [10:50] ikonia: ok i've been able to progress :-D but now im getting permission denied on my maildir [10:51] moncojhr_ change the permissions [10:51] moncojhr_: remember your mail server needs write access to dump mail into it, and you need "read" access to read from it [10:51] moncojhr_: this all depends on your setup [10:51] hi all. its me again. again with the same problem: external soundcard m-audio delta1010. any sound-specialist available? it would be so helpful... [10:52] how do I get a transparent theme? [10:53] how do I get a nice transparent theme? [10:53] ndan: sorry i cant further hepl you out bye [10:53] zeth-ubuntu emerald [10:54] If gnome-keyring dies, how can I restart it in a way that I can reuse the files/pipes/sockets that were in use for ssh-agent?

[10:54] and http://www.gnome-look.org/ [10:57] I saw vixta, "ABN - AbsolutelyNo Config." is really attractive, any other distro with the same goal?

[11:04] hi. sorry for disturbing, but I need some hints about the whole sound architecture in 8.04. [11:04] zeth-ubuntu no you can change the properties in the compiz settings tl make emerald the default window decorator [11:05] hrm anyone ehre making use of lastfm? [11:05] hi, i've installed lirc and lineak to use my pctv usb remote and now i don't know which of them is working? how to find it? [11:05] tyberion i am [11:05] <||arifaX> what the hell is wmaster0 ? [11:06] koshar1: if you are using, can u still playback other stuff ?! [11:06] tyberion yes, the player just uses a plugin, are your troubles alsa related? [11:07] <^Devious^> hey all [11:07] ||arifaX: You can ignore that, it's an internal part that you don't have to worry about [11:07] koshar1: yea... i cant do anything else:* [11:08] koshar1: anything to get rid of that problem? [11:08] <||arifaX> Joshooa ok. for now enought but want to understand it. I got another question. this network manager thingy supports profiles what am i doing wrong, I cannot save profiles eg. one for work one for at home aso [11:08] tyberion set your player to use pulse audio [11:09] koshar1: which player? I cant switch to taht option in lastfm [11:11] ||arifaX: It's just how mac80211 manages devices, creates one master and as many secondary (your wlan0 for example) and then communicates with the master, and it has to be visible now for QoS stuff, You should be able to google more info. [11:11] tyberion then it would be your browser, [11:11] http://www.sexy-jenny19.de.vu [11:11] Jaqueline: stop that now please [11:11] That'lll stop her [11:11] <||arifaX> Joshooa ok but why does network manager not save profiles or doesn't seem to work correctly? [11:12] koshar1: I switched audacious to use PulseAudio.. but still I cant get it to work [11:12] ||arifaX: I don't know about that I don't use them, my computer just connects to internet for me [11:12] <||arifaX> Joshooa ok [11:12] tyberion: IMO, you should remove PA and just use ALSA cause they rushed PA into 8.04 and I've had nothing but issues with it and never got everything to work on my comp til I went to all ALSA [11:13] Joshooa: o well, ALSA works fine indeed, the only problem is when I use lastfm which is only suited for playing back ALSA it seems, I just cant use ANY other sound events:* [11:13] tyberion it would appear your browser plugin is hogging the audio [11:14] koshar1: hmm.. what can I do [11:14] wait for puse support? [11:14] tyberion: So your mixing isn't working right then [11:14] ..and until then :/ [11:15] only way is to switch to Shoutcast I guess.. damnit [11:16] hi everyone (: [11:16] what are you tryng to do tyberion ? [11:16] hello.. [11:16] tyberion: You don't have to use shoutcast. There are plenty of other radio station on the internet. [11:16] hm Im trying to use lastfm BUT not if I cant use any other sound operations then :// [11:17] MDaltonS: like which onee:-) [11:17] *s [11:17] wierd enough for me, i don't know how, but nowadays it works that multiple softwares can play sound at the same time [11:17] tyberion: what do you listen to? [11:17] i have a situation myself, how can i change the default applications under ubuntu, i mean default applications for certain file tpyes ? [11:18] MDaltonS: all kind of stuff, sometimes chill,rnb,classical.. soundtracks, like stuff by hans zimmer, and so on... nightwish too.. plenty [11:18] PucKid through nautilus is one way [11:18] I use Ubuntu 8.04 on my laptop. I get a constant download of 5kib/s in the network history graph in my gnome-panel. I have no applications that interact with the internet open. No firefox, pidgin, checkgmail, nothing. But still all the time this transfer keeps happening. How do I find which program is initiating this, and where is the connection being established? Also note I do not have any programs in my Sessions. [11:18] MDaltonS: which app you use for playing them back? [11:19] koshar1: could you explain the steps please? [11:20] qstn: Use netstat. System > Adminstration > Networking Tools [11:20] PucKid open nautilus, browse to dir with such file, left click >open with [11:20] qstn: Netstat will show you what has open connections to your computer, and on what port etc. [11:20] thank you koshar1 [11:21] When I start Update Manager, my screen will become full brightness ... Why is that ? Anybody else with the same problem ? [11:21] I selected Active Network services in Netstat. It doesn't tell me which program initiated the connection and what is the network speed at which the transfer is taking place. [11:21] MDaltonS, ^ [11:21] tyberion: I use rhythmbox and amarok to play most of my music. I find with those two I can play most things. [11:21] MDaltonS: which one for streaming? [11:22] tyberion: Rhythmbox for streaming (because I like the interface more - only reason) [11:22] MDaltonS, Also note that all the connection it shows have ip source 0.0.0.0 what does this mean?. And one of the service has ip 127.0.0.1. I am chatting on IRC yet I don't see a different ip source in there. [11:23] qstn: Are you looking at the addresses in the "Milticast information" menu? [11:23] may I ask about a problem? [11:24] PucKid: I believe under System > Preferred Applications you can find some of those options [11:24] with my wifi [11:24] Joshooa: the problem is, those are only some (: [11:25] MDaltonS, Where is that menu? I am looking at Network tools > Netstat > Active network services [11:25] teimoury, !ask [11:25] I got airpace wifi pci-e card and I installed madwifi and also windows driver. I have my harware in the list but not in network (ifconfig) [11:25] xdcc send #6 [11:25] !wifi | teimoury [11:25] teimoury: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [11:25] I don't know how to enable [11:26] MDaltonS, Any idea?

[11:34] zamba you need http://madwifi.org/ticket/1192 and follow these instructions: http://madwifi.org/wiki/UserDocs/FirstTimeHowTo [11:34] defrysk: thanks for that :) [11:34] ciao a tutti come faccio a mettere un collegamento della cartella tmp nella lista delle risorse?

[11:35] If gnome-keyring dies, how can I restart it in a way that I can reuse the files/pipes/sockets that were in use for ssh-agent? [11:35] I have a 9800GTX Nvidia card, ubuntu doesn't have restricted binaries for it does it? [11:35] defrysk: but how can ubuntu eee not support this? [11:35] zamba, so read the howto , its pretty straitforward [11:35] osamabinladen: no, but there is xmms which is similar. Also see !media [11:35] defrysk: i mean.. it's eee, they all have an atheros card?

I would like a bigger page. [11:37] zamba, well sorry if I am wrong :s [11:37] defrysk: i can do iwlist ath0 scan just fine [11:37] anyone here doing java? [11:37] zamba: the distro is not officially supported or affiliated from Ubuntu and they work seperate from ubuntu. Ubuntu is merely thier base [11:38] Is there any way of making wine think an iso is an actual cd? i'm trying to install creative studio but i'd rather not burn 5 200meg images onto 5 seperate cds [11:38] tyberion: try in ##java [11:38] Ziroday: hm, ok [11:38] Ziroday: well I got a linux/java related question, are there any apps for creating usecase diagrams for ubuntu? [11:38] xchat user [11:38] zamba: you might want to try reinstall or contact the ubuntu eee devs :) [11:39] tyberion: you could use Dia, but I am not sure if thats fit for what you need. [11:39] omg I got digitemp and ds18s20 working :d [11:39] Or in ubuntu is there a way to mount an iso into a virtual cd drive? (not just make it some random folder) [11:40] !iso > Flynsarmy [11:40] Flynsarmy, please see my private message [11:40] Psp: wonderful, you might want to add to the wiki on how you got it working if not there already [11:40] Ziroday, does that not just create a folder with the contents inside and not create a virtual cd drive? [11:41] Flynsarmy: ah sorry, misunderstood you. I am not sure how to do that but you could ask in #winehq [11:42] hello, do you have any recommendations on how to format a 1TB external drive? [11:42] one big chunk ok? [11:42] bonk: any normal formatting software will work [11:42] need to add a non official repo to my list [11:42] any clue how [11:43] how do I save youtube videos to muh puter? [11:43] CaptJager: certaintly. Go to System > Administration > Software Sources [11:43] Flynsarmy can you do it through winecfg [11:43] there [11:44] CaptJager: go to Third Party Software and Add. Insert the repo and you're good to go :) [11:44] dn4: you could use a firefox extension [11:44] trying to add the new wine at http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/wine/wine-1.1.5.tar.bz2 [11:44] Ziro: I mean is it ok to format it in a 1tb partition, or should I hack it up, and ext3 is fine? [11:44] Hi, I've got a process running on port 8080 (not sure what it is, but googling raised the alarm bells, as some trojans seem to use this port). Is there any reason for concern?

[11:45] hurm, ive got a little problem which I guess, all of you people now how to solve.. when browsing in terminal, and u do cd , and you dont know exactly how its called, you press tabtab, but if I see a large collection of folders there, going over many many sites, how can I simply continue writing, without going down all the list first?? [11:45] dn4: also take a look at the program in the repo's youtube-dl [11:46] tyberion: hit q, then type [11:46] tyberion: you have to wait for it to finish, if its a serious issue you can ask in #bash [11:46] tyberion: or do as koala_man said :) [11:46] koala_man: are there any other commands besides q> [11:46] koala_man, I haven't used that command before. How would I run netstat?

[11:47] nop [11:47] Nvidia [11:48] Deepo: make sure you have the drivers installed [11:48] koala_man, I wish I had known of that before! The process is not listed though.

[11:49] some older lcd monitors dont send the correct edid word to the xorg server therefore limiting the possable resolution [11:49] koshar1, it's not an lcd [11:49] aar: many root kits hide processes. if you're concerned, you could try connecting to it from localhost and from other computers [11:49] xorg sucks at figuring out what your monitor is... gksu displayconfig-gtk is a lifesaver [11:50] i had to place a newer lcd monitor on one machine , restart the xserver, save the edid info and replace the monitor recently [11:50] Deepo: you could edit xorg.conf to use the desired resolution. Is the nvidia logo showing at boot?

[11:58] dn4: or .flv files there is a realy easy porgram for converting most media files especiall .flv files winff that uses the ffmpeg codec to covert the file. http://biggmatt.com/files/winff-0.33-i386.deb [11:58] whyking: you use apt to install binaries [11:59] whyking: sudo apt-get install /path/to/file.deb; sudo appt-get -f install [11:59] ActionParsnip, sure.. but the .deb file has the wrong dependency set [11:59] so I would like to fix that [11:59] I can't install it this way [11:59] whyking: apt-get will resolve dependancies for you. Is that how you mean? [12:00] the package needs libgsl0 but this has been replaced by libgsl0ldbl [12:00] join ubuntu-it [12:00] so it can't install the dependency libgsl0 [12:01] so where can I find the specification of the dependencies? there has to be a file for that or sth [12:01] whyking: you could force it if libgsl0ldbl provides libgsl0, you could symlink it maybe [12:02] ActionParsnip, ok, but where would I create that symlink [12:02] Is AvantWindowManager supposed to open and have no visible bar or icons? [12:03] whyking: not sure, try finding the lib then symlinking it to the name the app expects, is there not a package which expects the newer lib? [12:03] waan: its meant to have a small few (maybe even 1) [12:03] ActionParsnip, /var/lib/dpkg [12:04] waan: try closing it and removing the setting folder in your profile (ls -a will show you) [12:04] ActionParsnip, tthats the problem I can't find the setting file [12:04] Guys I wanted to translate will_paginate plugin by using Globalite so I did => :previous_label => '«' + :previous_label.l, eve I have previous_label: value in my yml file and I've restarted server I got __localization_missing__ [12:04] waan: then websearch you must, see where the settings are (it may be ~/.avantwindowmanager or similar) [12:05] waan: thats a fairly common naming convention [12:05] I'm having a problem with a machine. I'm ssh'd in, so it is connected, but it can't seem to see out/apt-get or resolve www.google.com (unknown host). The gateway is set to 192.168.0.1 (not sure how to check this without having a browser) -- also don't seem to have X11 over the ssh (ssh -X). could someone please help me? [12:06] ActionParsnip, yup its not there i'll have to search for a bug fix [12:06] have you set the name server in /etc/resolv.conf [12:06] waan: thats all i can really help as Im completely inexperienced with docks [12:07] ActionParsnip, yeah no probs thanks i'll keep trying, maybe theres a way to add icons so it pops back up. I'll read the docs [12:07] Is the Transmission bittorrent client any good? I haven't seen any good reason to use it. Anyone know of a good alternative?

[12:26] it not on etc/init.d [12:26] music_ a router is not a name server [12:27] music_: true, you can also add the nameservers the router uses too which will go out to the world as they are not in your network [12:27] why is banshee 0.13 in hardys repos when 1.2 is latest stable? :( [12:27] the_eraser: possibly because it's not been updated yet [12:28] many ubuntu soft are not old versions in repos :(( [12:28] are now* [12:28] Aaqil: many silly people want to update to the newer releases with no need or understanding of what it means [12:28] and could this nameserver issue be why I can't get X over ssh? could it be related? [12:28] ikonia: this version has no album/artist browser :( [12:28] the_eraser so ?

[12:36] Nixot: if you ask a question maybe [12:36] I am having problems running 3D apps. [12:36] Nixot, was your PC problem? [12:36] ActionParsnip: :-s [12:36] Nixot: have you installed graphics drivers? [12:36] I have a good graphics card. [12:37] Nixot: what card is it [12:37] I am running dual boot with Windows. [12:37] Windows apps run great [12:37] Nixot: what card is it [12:37] Nixot: you probably have to install proper drivers [12:37] but same apps in Ubuntu freeze computer. [12:37] Nixot, You may want to give details OF what card you have... not vague statements. :) [12:37] Nixot: what card is it [12:37] ikonia: a good one :-D [12:37] OK... ATI Sapphire Radeon X700 Pro. [12:37] anyone knows where the theme directory for gnome ubuntu is [12:37] ahhh ati [12:37] DEViUS: /usr/share/theme [12:37] DEViUS: ~/.themes/ [12:37] Devius: gnome-look.org [12:37] * ActionParsnip groans at ati [12:37] ATI is bad then? [12:37] !ati | Nixot [12:37] Nixot: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [12:37] Nixot: I'm sorry to say youd card is not a good card for liunx [12:38] thanks [12:38] OK... I'll try that. === Nixot is now known as Nixot-looking-at [12:38] and nvidia is a good card for linux? I think the difference is minimal [12:38] I guess ATI has still not delivered on its promise of better Linux drivers eh... [12:39] ikonia: hey installed some emerald theme, but i hated it, so after removing it, i tried rolling back to the default theme, but the emerald theme left traces, what should i do to get the default back again [12:39] mefisto__ certainly better driver support [12:39] mefisto__, depends on the card. i imagine.. I for one doubt if i ever buy an ATI card any time sook. [12:39] no idea and not bothered, im sticking with tried and tested nvidia [12:39] DEViUS: what traces [12:39] how do I get emerald themes to work automatically as I log in? [12:39] * defrysk prefers intel [12:39] zeth-ubuntu: add a startup item for emerald --replace [12:39] ikonia: some icons and window border designs [12:39] 3dfx! :) === Nixot-looking-at is now known as Nixot [12:40] ActionParsnip : thanks [12:40] DEViUS: are you trying to switch back to the default emerald theme, or the default gnome meta-city theme ? [12:40] * Aaqil likes chrome with ubuntu [12:40] OK, enabled drivers. Now I must restart computer. Thanks very much for link, ubottu! [12:40] ikonia: i need the 100% old default-theme that comes on after setup [12:41] disable emerald then, and return to meta-city [12:41] * fiyawerx would like chrome a lot better if he didn't enjoy so many ff extensions - hopefully moz will at least grab some of the good code from chrome and integrate it [12:41] zeth-ubuntu: just make a small bash script then add it to ~/.kde/Autostart folder [12:41] ikonia: how do i disable emerald, because i don see any prefrences for it [12:41] zeth-ubuntu, install fusion-icon [12:41] fiyawerx: whats so good in chrome thats not already done in firefox? [12:41] DEViUS how did you enable it ? [12:41] I agree with defrysk zeth-ubuntu - use fusion-icon :) [12:41] ActionParsnip, what a lot of the engine bits [12:42] ActionParsnip, webkit is faster [12:42] defrysk : where from ... how .... why? [12:42] ikonia: just installed it via pkg. mgr. [12:42] zeth-ubuntu, apt-get..... [12:42] v8, webkit, uses separate processes for tabs, sandboxing [12:42] DEViUS so you must have started it to be able to use it, as it doesn't start by default [12:42] ikonia: yes i did [12:42] so kill it [12:42] zeth-ubuntu, its a simple tool for managing compiz-emerald etc etc [12:42] ikonia: but when i wanted to remove it [12:43] ikonia: it left traces [12:43] kill emerald [12:43] then re-apply the gnome theme from theme manager [12:43] DEViUS, what "traces" ? [12:43] defrysk: webkit? [12:43] fiyawerx: window border and icons [12:43] yes === m_newton is now known as m_newton|schooL [12:43] OK... [12:44] ikonia: how do i kill emerald [12:44] DEViUS, in gnome : metacity --replace [12:44] defrysk: whats that? [12:44] Whoever helped me earlier, thanks! My games now run at a great FPS! [12:44] ActionParsnip, google [12:44] defrysk : if I install that do I need to manually tell emerald to start with the session? [12:44] Now I need more help... [12:44] defrysk: i prefer ask.com [12:44] I have an external HD (usb/firewire). If it is not connected at startup, I get permission denied when I connect it. I have to connect it then restart. Why? [12:44] defrysk: ill check it === tim_ is now known as Razz [12:45] Goodday everyone [12:45] When I open a 3D game, it keeps flashing. What do I do to fix it? [12:45] zeth-ubuntu, you can use the fusion-icon gui for that [12:45] defrysk : cool ... thanks [12:45] Nixot, have you tried disabling desktop effects? [12:45] defrysk : will fusion-icon start with login? [12:46] I'll try that, ljsoftnet. [12:46] zeth-ubuntu, when you start is it docks in the notification are and you can tic the always start up with.... option [12:46] brb [12:46] aight so vnc like repeatedly takes a picture of your desktop and sends it over a network right? [12:46] defrysk: apparently its based on konquerors khtml library, interesting [12:46] ndan, sort of.. but theres a lot more to it then that. :) [12:46] Hey... It worked! [12:46] Thanks! [12:47] dr_willis: well thats the basis why you can't exceed like 5 fps. how does FreeNX transfer, is it the same way? [12:47] Now, can you tell me how to get sound please? [12:47] Nixot: desktop effects make a lot of stuff not work right [12:47] defrysk : where is that option ... I can't see it [12:47] see you all later ;) [12:47] I am running on-board Realtek AC97 audio. [12:47] * incapacitant is away: Buzy but on the look out. [12:47] ndan, i dont use freenx, - but vnc does do compression, and takes shortcuts.. Like only sending the info that changes I belive. [12:47] Nixot: run lspci and look at the line that says about your soundcard, then websearch from there [12:48] zeth-ubuntu, I am not using it , but I'm sure you can find it ;) [12:48] I see, Action Parsnip. It sayd in feisty, it's an experimental feature. It dowan't do that anymore. [12:48] this emerald ruined all my eye candy [12:48] i'm trying to find a loophole around playing a game remotely with decent fps. [12:48] i cant even enable desktop effects [12:48] Nixot: ive seen it do crazy stuff in here, even disabling left mouse click [12:48] Hi, i want ubuntu to show up the last user at login (so that i have to type only the passwort - not the user) is that possible and if yes where will i have to set it [12:48] ndan, use xdmcp if its on a local lan. and on Linux machines. [12:48] Ahhhhhhh! Too much information! Is there a parametre that only shows sound? [12:49] ndan, or ssh/x forwarding [12:49] Action Parsnip, in Feisty when I activated wobbly windows, EVERYTHING wobbled so I disabled it. Then it wouldn't let me drag windows. [12:49] Nixot: read the screen [12:49] Nixot: one line will say what soundcard you have [12:49] ive had wobbly windows get 'stuck maxamizing' and just sit there and wobble for a few min. :) [12:49] dr_willis: thanks looking it up.... [12:50] Nixot: ive had desktop effects enabled for about an hour before i got frustrated and switched back to fluxbox [12:50] Multimedia audio controller? Is that it? [12:50] Nixot: sounds good [12:50] What's fluxbox [12:50] Hi all. I think the last security update for thunderbird, has made thunderbird unusable. [12:50] Is anyone aware of any issues? [12:50] Nixot: instead of gnome / kde / compiz ... i use fluxbox [12:50] * Aaqil kisses ActionParsnip [12:50] Oh, right. [12:50] /quit me and my ubuntu :X [12:51] Nixot: gimme a sec, ill get you a screen grab [12:51] I've used Gnome and KDE, I prefer KDE but use Gnome on ubuntu because kubuntu was crappy in my opinion [12:51] nVidia Corporation CK804 AC'97 Audio Controller (rev a2) [12:51] dr_willis: so over xdmcp the graphical rendering is done on which end. user or server? [12:52] What shall I do with that information? [12:52] Nixot: http://i270.photobucket.com/albums/jj93/andrew_woodhead666/MyScreenshot.png?t=1222689108 [12:52] ndan, it would be done at the local end thats displaying the stuff. [12:52] Wow, action parsnip. Minimalistic! [12:52] Nixot: indeed, and fast [12:53] ndan, thats how it was done years ago.. the server had all the ram.. the client had the gfx power.. :) but for a game.. it still wont be as good as locally i imagine [12:53] I had something like that on windows once - three boxes. Once for the tasks, one systray, and one virtual desktops. It drove me up the wall after a while! [12:53] Nixot: have you tried changing you sound prefs to ALSA? [12:53] Wait a bit. Let me do that... [12:54] hello [12:54] dr_willis: so.... i wonder the latency tho. say you have two decent computers with a crossover connecting them. you connect to the other one with XDMCP and run wow from the other. would it work without lag?

Sorry. I clicked ALSA, then pressed Test, and there was a big error. [12:55] ActionParsnip: I can retype the error if you want...

[12:56] dr_willis: nope [12:56] Did ActionParsnip go? [12:57] anyone using Backuppc + RsyncD? [12:57] dr_willis: it stops at this part [Software rasterizer detected, abortingaborting and using fallback: /usr/bin/metacity ] [12:57] ktwo: System->Administration->Login Window [12:57] DEViUS, so its running 'metacity --replace' then eh?

[15:10] bofh80: waste of resources, quite destracting and can be awkward to kill [15:10] erUSUL: needs tcp too [15:11] <_2> Vladimir[LV] as ikonia said + you probably want to block outside access to dns for security reasons [15:11] ikonia, i c. that is it bad lol [15:11] erUSUL: udp is for rndc === RichiH is now known as Guest91125 [15:11] ikonia: ok, thanks for the info [15:11] ikonia, anything cool desktop wise we might like? sounds like you've tried qutie a bit :D [15:11] erUSUL, _2, ikonia: bind9 uses 53 port.. its udp or tcp? [15:11] Vladimir[LV]: both [15:11] doumo: seriously. It's easy to find a million tutorials for bash. http://tldp.org/HOWTO/Bash-Prog-Intro-HOWTO.html . The problem of course is that for bash to be useful, you need to know the unix commands [15:11] bofh80 depends what you define as cool, maybe read up on comiz [15:11] <_2> and/or === Guest91125 is now known as RichiH_ [15:11] ikonia thanks champ x) === RichiH_ is now known as RichiH [15:12] Kl4m: hahhah, i think know some. thank you sir for the reading [15:12] ikonia: your right, however progression says that it will be the norm one day [15:13] kingmilo: ? [15:13] ikonia, the fish [15:13] ikonia: regarding 3d wallpaper [15:13] ikonia, comiz = compiz? i use that :) [15:13] bofh80: look at project looking glass if you want to really think ourside the box [15:14] hi, im following a tutorial for setting a wireless network https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Router#Router%20Hardware, but im getting this error when trying to set the device on master mode http://www.pastie.org/281383 [15:14] but we are dipping a bit offtopic there [15:14] <_2> kingmilo heh i have always wondered how many people were like me and always disable all wall paper from their desktop [15:15] i don't understand. sun make all these cools things, and then make the gui side look like something from 1983 [15:15] :) [15:15] bofh80: how is sun anything to do with it ? [15:15] hah _2 [15:15] bofh80: what cool things are you talking about ? [15:15] ikonia, not suns project lookin glass? [15:16] can someone point me towards a good guide for network printer setup in Ubuntu (my printer is directly wired to the network, I know its IP address, but I don't know how to add it as a printer) [15:16] bofh80: yes, but the gui is looking glass, so I don't know how it can look like it's from 1983 [15:16] ikonia, the 3d effects look cool. but the programs they have up in java (the 2d window of the application) lol. [15:17] nibsa1242: are there other pcs on the network with windows? [15:17] ikonia, wow, they've been working on this for some time now. [15:18] jim_p: yes, there are, however, they are not sharing the printer. Its a large office type machine (copies/ faxes/ scans/ etc). [15:18] <|neon|> i did a command export CC=/usr/bin/gcc-4.2 and now some apps are giving errors about path not found any ideas how can i rever this thx [15:18] Kl4m: hahah, i did hello world bash file. i made my first bash. thank you sir. i think i am on the right path now [15:18] is it me or has domainmonster.com vanished? [15:19] <_2> |neon| export CC=/usr/bin/gcc maybe [15:21] nibsa1242: give me one moment to "revolve" the gears in my head [15:21] how do i mount a .iso file in ubuntu (like in windows with daemon tools) [15:21] * jim_p opens google [15:21] !iso | mez_ [15:21] mez_: To mount an ISO disc image, type « sudo mount -o loop » - There is a list of useful cd image conversion tools at http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/CD_Image_Conversion - Always verify the ISO using !MD5 before !burning. [15:21] <|neon|> mez_: use acetoneiso === KIAaze is now known as KIAaze|away [15:21] thx pici [15:21] All the media players I have mplayer , vlc and totem all seem to have the same problem. The brightness , grama etc all seem to be off . Have any of you had that happen to you [15:22] jim_p: ok, thats fine. Basically, I work in a small office. There are a bunch of windows pc. I've got my laptop here with Ubuntu on it. I want to print to the office printer. Other people with windows can print to the office printer just fine. [15:22] <_2> tarelerulz yeah full screen they are all dark [15:22] anyone know any software like Studio64, but less memoryrequiring and funktional in ubuntu? [15:22] nibsa1242: then you do need samba [15:22] h [15:22] i [15:23] !samba [15:23] 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 [15:23] should i rather use freenx or nomachine nx ? [15:23] which works best ? [15:23] i already have installed lm-sensors and get it to work, is it ok if i type in "sudo sensors-detect"? [15:23] <_2> ljsoftnet why not [15:23] hi everyone [15:24] who has used the sbox2? [15:24] jim_p: I don't see why I would need samba, as even with all of the windows machines turned off the printer (which is directly wired into the network) still prints. I thought Samba is only if one of the windows machines is sharing the printer and acting as a print server. [15:24] _2 full screen and any size they all seem to do the samething. The movies I watch all seem to look like triped on acid and every time I start one of them again after configure them right . As soon as open a movie in any of them they look bad again [15:24] greedo, are u trying to establish a remote connection from outside of ur network or on ur lan? [15:24] kingmilo: both, but mainly through DSL [15:25] <_2> tarelerulz you using 3d effects ? [15:25] nibsa1242: because you want to use the printer that is shared on a windows network. Plus the networks name [15:25] talerulz: what video card are you using? [15:25] _2 nope . I don't use any effects [15:25] <_2> tarelerulz hmmm i don't know then. [15:26] <_2> tarelerulz vidio driver ? colour depth ? [15:26] What is the difference between a 'pref(' line and a 'user_pref' line in FireFox 3's prefs.js files? [15:26] <_2> both of which are /etc/xorg.conf thangs [15:26] jim_p: if all of the office computers were off, it wouldn't be on a windows network anymore... it would be on a linux network... but anyhow if Samba will work, then I'll set it up that way [15:26] 1280x800 refresh rate 60 hz [15:26] Hey guys [15:27] tarelerulz: I had trouble with color/gamma on ATI cards, not horrid but they were off. For VLC, Mplayer I had to change the defaults for the video and audio. Video was defaulting to x11 or xv when gl worked bested for me, audio was going through pulseaudio which tended to chop things up. [15:27] hi [15:27] Can anyone here tell me what disadvantage there is to using swap space? [15:27] <_2b_or_not_2b> hi [15:27] or too much of it? [15:27] beilabs: It's slower than RAM. [15:27] nibsa1242: i think samba is the safest choice [15:27] i've plugged in a usb device. It shows up as /dev/sde with no sde1 or sde2. When I fdisk /dev/sde and 'p', it shows sde1 and sde2 - how do i make them show in the /dev so i can mount them? [15:27] tarelerulz: Also, if you are playing high def then go with with either 1280x720 or 1920x1080 resolution so you don't have to work hard at scaling. [15:27] How would I see what the video card is ? [15:27] Blinny, any other ones? [15:27] <_2> kehan hehhe. ok i'm leaving now. [15:29] tarelerulz: from the command line use 'lspci' to list the cards on your pci bus, you should find it in that list [15:29] beilabs: The more swap is used, the more disk contention occurs, and therefore the system can get into swap loops where multiple applications are trying to do work and keep causing each other to swap out [15:29] tarelerulz: lspci | grep -i vga we'll probably find only the video card === zewm is now known as zewm_ [15:30] IntuitiveNipple, Thanks for that.... [15:30] I want to type Japanese in ubuntu, how do I do it? [15:30] HardyHeron: you are from japan? :) [15:30] no [15:31] tarelerulz: did you find the video card?

Let me ask him if he got anywhere with it.

[15:34] the latest intel drivers had bug [15:34] s [15:34] tarelerulz: he hasn't worked on his at all. I'm afraid I don't have an answer other than I suspect it's the video card. Is that a laptop you're working with (old dell perhaps?) [15:35] hi there, I have a friend with ubuntu and a brand new ipod (video). I know ubuntu very well but never had an ipod - he doesn't know ubuntu that much and has an ipod [15:35] the idea is that he should be able to connect the ipod and use it trough rhythmbox [15:35] !ipod | Le-Chuck_ITA [15:35] Le-Chuck_ITA: 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 [15:35] "liberating your ipod" - that's what I wanted to hear :) [15:36] jim_p: ok... I'll install samba; I was trying to follow the directions here https://help.ubuntu.com/7.04/printing/C/printing.html but that wasn't working... I had to install a package and it seems promising.

[15:39] Ive got a box with both a ATi and nVidia card in it [15:39] I want 3 display devices but so far, can not get the ati drivers to paly nice with the nvidias [15:40] CartoonCat mixing like that can be quite problematic [15:40] I wrote a simple program that pops up a wxWidgets window. It works fine when I run it directly from command line but it does not work when I run it from cron. Any idea why? [15:40] <_LiNuX_> /server chat.mad.gr 6667 [15:40] funkja check the cron log [15:40] CartoonCat, no kidding. there have been reports of this working under windows. i've not heard of anyone attemping it on linux :) what is the first wall you are running into then? [15:40] ikonia: all it says is that it runs [15:40] bofh80: it is possible, I've done it, it can be quite troublesome [15:40] funkja: execution rights? [15:40] funkja: are you sure your don't mean the job run and completed, but the command didn't [15:41] funkja: what line is cron using to launch it [15:41] nothing turned on compiz . I thought maybe there was not much I could do [15:41] tarelerulz, is it only when you hit full screen that the movie goes mad? [15:41] I'm having a problem with grub I believe. Dual booting w2k and xub. installed w2k 1st and no problem there, once grub installed, can't shutdown and power back up - restarts work, suspend/sleep in w2k works, not in xub - but that could be b/c of system resources - it doesn't break grub to sleep in xub, but when coming out I get background and no icons for like 5-10 min and then I gave up. So if anyone can help I'd appreciate it [15:41] (9:40:49 AM) thenullman1: I reinstalled xub last night - same problem [15:41] (9:41:29 AM) thenullman1: reinstalling grub on sda5 fixes problem until next shutdown and when I do that it gives me options to reinstall grub on sda1, 2, 5,6, but 2 and 6 are read-only [15:41] (9:41:39 AM) thenullman1: I partitioned right on reinstall of OS [15:41] thenullman1: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.

I can even mount and umount it, read files, etc. [15:45] CartoonCat one of the big limitations I had was loading multiple drivers into xorg, the way I got around with was to launch 2 xservers, one with ati, one with nvidia, then link them all with xinerama [15:45] are there any other emulator to run windows besides qemu and vmware [15:45] Do cron jobs run in an enviornment where they have access to my display?

[16:04] !dma [16:04] dma is Direct Memory Access/Addressing. It makes hardware transfer data faster, and is almost always enabled in Ubuntu 6.06. For more info see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DMA [16:04] htang: open the package manager, mark the package click install [16:04] Well, codecs , are a big interest of mine. Plus it all ways seem like Linux use all all ways on the out side looking in . Like the ipod don't use a format that 99% of the world use for video files. the xbox 360 use .wmv . Plus there are so many good codecs out there that no one seems to use. [16:04] sorry i was cut off. [16:04] howto make an .ogg of the sound contained in a mpeg2 ? [16:04] Hello Everyone! [16:04] How can I enable DMA? [16:05] !netstat [16:05] Sorry, I don't know anything about netstat [16:05] which packages should I choose? It's too much. [16:05] htang eclipse, thats it, [16:06] and what about the Qt and how to integrate both of them with each other? [16:06] does anyone know how you can make a command like ./crx into a regular command like crx without having to cd DIRECTORY then ./crx [16:06] !arts [16:06] Sorry, I don't know anything about arts [16:06] man netstat [16:06] htang get the ecplipse package, it will do ti all for you [16:06] htang: eclipse depnds on QT so it will get it all for you [16:07] aar: netstat won't tell you, syslog will only show rules that have the -log option. the answer is, it depends on how you generated your iptables. iptables -L -v will show you the counters on all the rules, you can watch to see what changes but there may be better ways again, depending on how the rules were made. [16:07] RipperJ, you add it to bash [16:07] !artsd [16:07] Sorry, I don't know anything about artsd [16:07] RipperJ: set it in your $PATH variable [16:07] !fishing > DensuX [16:07] DensuX, please see my private message [16:07] aar: bash is a shell, how do you add a command to your shell ?? [16:07] yes, I will have a try. thank you. [16:08] ikonia command_name() { command ; } [16:08] :) [16:08] ikonia, alias foo="original command" [16:08] i did...what i did was export=$PATH:/usr/local/games/alienareana2008 where crx is and when i type crx nothing [16:08] aar ok , so an "aslias" [16:08] ikonia: thanks again. [16:08] RipperJ make sure its' executable [16:08] or function [16:08] ls -la /usr/local/games/alienareana2008/crx [16:08] fuck i forgot to do my chem homework [16:08] later guys. === c0de1 is now known as c0de1|off [16:08] aar: a good approach is to use tcpdump or wireshark to make sure the packets in question actually arrive at the nic and are on the ports you expect. (tcpdump/wireshark capture -before- iptables drops packets) [16:08] fairyfive: that language is not needed or welcome [16:08] sorry [16:08] wrong chan [16:09] i chmod +x crx typed in crx nothing [16:09] RipperJ ls -la /usr/local/games/alienareana2008/crx [16:09] i thought i was in a diff channel [16:09] RipperJ: ./crx assuming crx is in the current directory. [16:09] scampbell, you mean sniff my own packets to identify what is being blocked? [16:09] RipperJ path [16:09] yes it is [16:09] i did that in its path/directory [16:09] RipperJ ls -la /usr/local/games/alienareana2008/crx [16:09] hey hey...my laptop has stopped automatically mounting drives, cd's, etc. any idea how to make it mount them again? [16:10] for all 3 its 777 [16:10] aar: Perhaps it would be better to back up a bit, what is it that you are trying to get working? [16:10] i can mount them manually...but its more of a hassle than anything [16:10] crx is 777 [16:10] RipperJ commands are only searched for in your $PATH [16:10] RipperJ: show me the output [16:10] RipperJ ls -la /usr/local/games/alienareana2008/crx [16:10] -rwxrwxrwx 1 fella root 649252 2008-09-28 13:32 /usr/local/games/alienarena2008/crx [16:10] RipperJ: paste that exact command [16:10] aar: yes, make sure you know what packets you are trying to let through and that they are actually being sent to the computer and that you have configured your firewall to allow them. [16:10] RipperJ: now show me "echo $PATH" [16:10] ok [16:10] scampbell, after setting up a few iptable rules, I am getting logged blocked traffic (as one would expect), but I can't figure out how to identify what processes are generating taht traffic. === mija is now known as mija_na [16:11] fella@ubuntu:/usr/local/games/alienarena2008$ echo $PATH [16:11] /usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games [16:11] why does cheese only work half the times I boot up? The other half it does not find my webam. [16:11] I have a TV card and a webcam. [16:11] RipperJ you don't have /usr/loca/games in ther [16:11] hey i exported it yesturday [16:11] and i seen it in $path [16:11] strange [16:11] ikonia it would also need /usr/local/games/alienareana2008 [16:11] can anyone tell me how to see/monitor current ssh sessions? [16:11] RipperJ $path and $PATH are different things [16:11] Agent_bob yes [16:11] aar: oh, I see. I misread. Yeah, netstat --inet -n -p will attempt to tie process id's to tcp conversations. [16:12] i used $PATH [16:12] hey hey...my laptop has stopped automatically mounting drives, cd's, etc. any idea how to make it mount them again? [16:12] i can mount them manually...but its more of a hassle than anything [16:12] Agent_bob I just couldn't be bothered typing out the whole path [16:12] let me see hold on [16:12] maybe its in $path [16:12] RipperJ it's not int here now [16:12] scampbell, thanks! [16:12] no its not in echo $path [16:12] RipperJ: have you rebooted since you did that [16:13] can anyone tell me where gnome stores the pixmaps for the various default mouse cursors? [16:13] ikonia yeah i rebooted and now i dont see the path /usr/local/games/alienarena2008 the last time and it showed me that path in $PATH [16:13] RipperJ if you reboot you lose your path [16:13] ooooh [16:13] RipperJ: you have to set it in your bash_profile so that each time it's sourced [16:13] ikonia okay i didnt know that [16:14] oh alright then wheres it located at again ikonia [16:14] ikonia ill figure it out [16:14] RipperJ: in your home dir [16:14] which photo viewer software is easy to use ,just like the ACDSee in windows [16:14] ikonia ok thanks [16:14] RipperJ to make a path sticky add it to your .bash_bashrc or .profile for system wide path settings /etc/bash_bashrc and /etc/profile are used [16:14] ubuntu is great [16:14] Agent_bob, avidemux might of use to you? do you need to remove the audio from an audio/video source? [16:15] Agent_bob thank you copy and pastd onto notes [16:15] bofh80 i just want to copy the audio out seperately [16:15] Agent_bob, then apt-get or synaptic and install avidemux [16:16] bofh80 k ill give it a lookC [16:16] I don't remember I created a 'root' used in my system, is there any default password for it [16:16] Hi, I somehow managed to get my Desktop icons to disappear. I know there are items on the desktop (or so ls tells me), but I can't *see* them on the desktop. What should I do? [16:16] v4vijayakumar you didn't create a root user, one already exists [16:16] v4vijayakumar no. it's locked by default [16:16] v4vijayakumar: the one that already exists has no password [16:17] how to unlock it?

[16:20] ham: you just need sudo [16:20] can anyone tell me where gnome stores the pixmaps for the various default mouse cursors? [16:20] ikonia, yes , sudo is okay [16:21] ubottu is awesome :) [16:21] if you can "sudo *" you are "root jr." aka "little root" which is the default "ubuntu" way. [16:22] is it like, root is always locked in ubuntu?! [16:22] Agent_bob, what does root jr means? [16:22] v4vijayakumar yes === formando2 is now known as perneco [16:22] !sudo [16:22] sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root").

[16:24] just can log in as normal user [16:24] ham: no, you shouldn't be using root [16:25] ham: as you've been told [16:25] how do i start the VNC server? synaptic says its already installed (vino) but i cant find it in the menu [16:25] Hi, can somebody help me in installing an lga775 stock heat sink fan?

[16:26] thanks bob [16:26] ham: orly? [16:27] scampbell, can you explain what does the root means [16:27] what the word london means in zulu? [16:27] how do i start the VNC server? synaptic says its already installed (vino) but i cant find it in the menu [16:28] ham: in what context? root user on a unix system? file system root? tree root? [16:28] how do you get that run box anyway? there used to be some shortcut or something. a textbox from which you can run any program? [16:28] mez_ alt+f2 [16:28] ubuntu's root user is different with suse linux [16:29] mez_, check System > Preferences > Remote Desktop [16:29] scampbell root user on a unix system [16:29] ham: ubuntu, by default, puts no usuable password on the 'root' account and forces you to use 'sudo' to gain the root user privileges. [16:29] ham no. root on ubuntu is root on suse is root on fedora is root on slackware is root on...... [16:29] ham: ubuntu and fedora (and all unices really) have a root user, it's just that ubuntu's has no password by default. [16:30] how can log on ubuntu using the root user [16:30] ham you don't [16:30] in ubuntu, you must has two users [16:30] ham: you use your normal acount [16:30] at least [16:30] ham you do have two users [16:30] scampbell, it has no password or a random one? . . . [16:31] ham: your user and the root one [16:31] one is root [16:31] ham: yes, this has been said [16:31] It's locked, no entereable password [16:31] "has no password" is a little confusing to some. "has no password" is not the correct way to say it, it is "account is locked" meaning that you can't login into that account. note that an account can be locked with or without a password. [16:31] does anyone have a bcm4310 wlan? [16:31] other is you define when you install ubuntu system [16:31] you can override this easily with 'sudo passwd root' and set one. [16:31] hey folks, especially the iPod User ;) What tool do u prefer to get your pod filled with data?! [16:31] but in suse linux you can only have one root user. [16:31] tobi_bO I tunes [16:31] however, that's not ubuntuish and you may have issue later with things you alter as root. [16:31] ham your not making any sense [16:31] i fucking dropped my cookie on the floor [16:31] scampbell, oh i c. thanks. does setting the password manually then enable it?

I'm on a live CD.. is there a way of getting it back? I have absolutely no display and not tty terminals so everything would have to be done on the CD... any suggestions? [16:37] Agent_bob: Thanks!

Once that window is open click on the icon itself on the top left and it asks you for a new image file to replace it with.

I want to release my IP address manually, and don't want to use any network manager GUI [17:11] psykidellic: any quotes or white space in the track names? [17:11] harisund: try sudo dhclient -r eth0 where eth0 is ur ethernet card [17:12] psykidellic: you might try just echoing the result, to make sure that the command is being interpolated in the way that you think it is :-) Also, look at the -print0 option for find, and the matching -0 switch in xargs. [17:12] hi. which download software is the fastest to download package? [17:13] which takes up more resources metacity for compiz? I don't have any of the effects enabled. [17:13] htang: repository packages? [17:13] in software sources choose the closest and fast server [17:13] htang: You mean using a package manager? Or download a .deb and use it? [17:13] what could be causing my installation to take 2 mins to boot? it didn't do this in the past. surely not the fact that i only have 100mb left on my hdd. [17:13] I want to download some .tar.gz package with software tools ? [17:14] is anyone familiar with the package latex-beamer? i'm having a rough time getting it to cooperate [17:14] thermoplyae: not me, but guys in #latex might help === luis_lopez is now known as luis_lopez_away [17:14] umm, u need download accelerator [17:14] sipior: Ok. One second :) [17:14] htang: I use an addon called 'DownThemAll' for firefox. [17:14] htang: Normally you would install software from the repositories. Otherwise it doesnt matter what tool you use. [17:14] download .deb or .tar.gz and use it. which download software is the best? [17:14] ubottu: Download accelerator [17:14] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [17:14] htang deb [17:14] !software | htang [17:14] htang: A general introduction to the ways software can be installed, removed and managed in Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoftwareManagement - See also !Packages, !Equivalents [17:14] yeah, but i'm not sure it's latex's fault [17:14] htang but you shouldn't need to download anything, it's all in the ubuntu repos [17:15] crushy: ubottu is a bot. [17:15] Just wget it. :-) [17:15] crushy: I had a theory it was happening w/ mouse use... but no... happens even if I don't touch anything [17:15] thermoplyae: can you be more specific regarding the problem? [17:15] htang: If you need something from an official repo, it should already be in your sources.list. If its from an unofficial one, add it to your sources.list. [17:15] I've got online play problems [17:15] !Axel htang [17:15] Sorry, I don't know anything about axel htang [17:16] hi ...

[17:16] Nixot online play of what [17:16] sipior: certainly. i installed the ubuntu package and read through some of the beamer tutorial and made a skeleton file to test it out. here's a pastebin of the skeleton and the compilation error: http://pastebin.ca/1213736 http://pastebin.ca/1213735 [17:16] I use Axel too/ [17:17] dwhsix|laptop: it only happens when u are idle [17:17] nikki__, i think amp is the one i used. give me a minute and i'll find out for sure [17:17] nixot: be a little more specific maybe [17:17] crushy: no, unfortunately [17:17] ikonia: Sauerbraten - all servers I try to select are listed as either newer protocol or older protocol [17:17] both when idle and when active [17:17] chubs: Thanks! I'll check it out. [17:17] My protocol is 255. [17:17] goto screensaver and disable it if you dont want that [17:17] the others are wither 254 or 256 [17:17] googling on the error message wasn't much help; seems this works for everyone else [17:17] how do I change my protocol?? [17:18] and in power management make display as much as delayed u want [17:18] I use Axel to download somethings today. but the speed is slow at 5.5Kbps [17:18] htang: whats your actual download speed [17:18] /server irc.vulgarisation-informatique.com [17:18] 5.2kbp/s [17:19] crushy: I'm not convinced it's that but I'll try turning all those off for now and see what happens [17:19] dwhsix: it only happens when u dont touch keyboard or mouse? right? [17:19] nikki__, gamp is the one you want, amp is really old [17:19] crushy: no -- happens when I am and when I'm not... [17:19] My office has a printer with Job Accounting turned on. How do I send my accounting code to the printer? [17:19] htang: i mean your actual download speed [17:19] chubs: Ok, I'll check it out. [17:19] oh ok , got u know [17:19] Anyone? :'( [17:19] oh , sorry. the actual download speed is 5.2kb/s. [17:19] thermoplyae: can you also pastebin the log file slides-singer.log? [17:20] crushy: but... essentially disabled the screensaver/power mgmt stguff seems to have stopped it [17:20] sure [17:20] so methinks something is wonky in there [17:20] thanks for pointing me in that direction [17:20] nixot: sorry I'm not familiar with the game , i ntruth I'm trying ot get my radeon 9200 working under Ubuntu. [17:20] seems so, glad that it worked out [17:20] :) [17:21] htang: your internet speed in terms of kbps? the maximum that your service provider can provide you [17:21] I just installed 8.04 server, but need X installed so can use it as a terminal server. Do I have to install the deskop version? [17:21] sipior: Hmm. Its the same effect. Its starting the first track on the search list but then none of the keys work in mplayer. [17:21] sipior: here we are http://pastebin.ca/1213743 [17:21] I did a cat on the output and the file name is being parsed correctly. [17:21] chubs: gamp is a gui one, I was talking about console-based. :P [17:21] Twinkletoes|W: Should need to, no. [17:21] nikki__, an ncurses gui. which is what you asked for? [17:22] chubs: Are you sure? I just searched on Google, and it seems that gamp is a gui one. [17:22] xnv: In that case I'm confused... I'll keep reading, but thanks :) [17:22] if you want console based than you're probably stuck with mpg123, but you can run an ncurses gui in the console of course [17:22] chubs: A GTK gui one. [17:22] my band width is 1.5M, so the download speed is 5.2kb/s. it's too slow , is it? [17:22] Twinkletoes|W: I could be wrong, but I don't see why. If you want X, install the packages. [17:22] nikki__, my apologies, there are multiple gamp projects it appears. search gamp ncurses [17:23] chubs: Ok, I'll check it out. [17:23] htang: thats very slow! [17:23] whats the easiest way i could stream/import mp3's from my windows pc to ubuntu ? [17:23] thats way too slow [17:23] from where you downloading the stuff? link? [17:23] xnv: PResumably I'm going to need X installed if it wil lbe a Linus Terminal Server === otherman is now known as another === another is now known as anotherman [17:23] my band width is 1.5M, so the download speed is 5.2kb/s. it's too slow , isn't it? how to increase this slow rate? [17:24] Twinkletoes|W: You may need X, but that doesn't mean you need to install the desktop version. You can install the server version and then install X. [17:24] I increased the size of panel, how do I now decrease the size of shortcut icons on it? === njpatel is now known as njpatel_away [17:24] htang: can you do a speedtest here ->> http://speedtest.net [17:24] they became too big [17:24] how can i change default applications in terminal [17:24] ? [17:24] xnv: Ah, that's someting I can understand - thank you :) [17:24] Hazzilla: since I could never get windows file sharing to work ,I usually just put a liveCD ubuntu and scp the files, or are you interested in live streaming? then I belive VLC can do it [17:24] <|neon|> i did a command export CC=/usr/bin/gcc-4.2 and now some apps are giving errors about path not found any ideas how can i rever this thx [17:25] crushy: ok , let me see!wait a moment. [17:25] chubs: Ok, I found it. Looks cool, will check it out. :) [17:25] thermoplyae: hey, is the < > bracket syntax correct on the \mode line in the document source? [17:25] |neon| close that terminal and open a new one and that could fix it [17:25] |neon|: Open a new terminal session? [17:25] hi [17:26] sipior: i thought that was wacky too, but yeah, that's what's in the beamer manual :/ [17:26] where is the cups folder located in a standard ubuntu install? [17:26] do i see things correctly and it still impossible to just plugin a usb-disc and have WRITE access as a regular user? [17:27] pici: i want to install ubuntu server as guest, there i will be running apache and mysql , any suggestion which virtualizer i should use , which wont hang and have almost no bugs? and can give good speed as well [17:27] thermoplyae: is it an essential line? you might try leaving things out until the problem goes away. i assume regular latex processes with no errors? [17:27] nibsa1242 /usr/share/cups/ [17:27] what's the best way to tell what has locked my sound card? it happens all the time! [17:27] crushy: I don't have any opinions on virtualizers, I've not had to use any of them, sorry. [17:27] yeah, other latex documents process fine. i'll keep tinkering, i guess [17:27] pici: its ok, thanks [17:27] WoodsDog: Maybe it's flash? [17:27] thermoplyae: the problem definitely occurs before line 10, so there's not much to exclude :-) [17:27] noodlesgc: thanks [17:27] deever when you put in a usb drive you should have write access as a regualr user [17:27] yeah [17:28] WoodsDog: try ps axu |grep alsa or ps axu |grep oss [17:28] crushy: that broke the display.. forgot to mention I had envy installed. I'm just going to stil with what I have I guess. [17:28] orgthingy: Some default tools can be configured with 'sudo update-alternatives --config ' or alternatively (pun intended?) you can modify your user's environment variables in ~/.profile or ~/.bashrc, such as setting $EDITOR or $PAGER. [17:28] crushy: virtualbox is quite nice [17:28] comicinker, it might be flash... [17:28] noodlesgc: i don't...how do i make the automount mechanism mount it rw? [17:28] although i don't see any flash processes [17:29] ah, but u didnt mention that u instlal envy, u were said that its fresh install, anyways u can remove envy and try restricted drivers [17:29] Pici : thanks Pici, i really appreciate it [17:29] sipior: deleting everything but the \documentclass line still causes the error :/ [17:29] deever not exactly sure, it always just worked for me [17:29] sipior: i tried that, for my windows it was hanging, but would that be good for ubuntuserver? [17:29] crushy how would I do that? [17:29] crushy: how to test my board band rates? [17:29] WoodsDog: Use jackd, pulseaudio or the like. [17:30] htang: choose a server listed there n click, it will show ur speed soon [17:30] nikki__, what is jackd, or pulseaudio? does it come with Ibex? [17:30] WoodsDog: you don't use zattoo, do you? [17:30] hi guys. Just reinstalled kubuntu 8.04 and wanted to delete a few former items in kdeinit. Where do i find kdeinit please? [17:30] thermoplyae: the same error? odd. i expected something else would fail first. have you tried multiple input texts? [17:30] crushy: thank you! === hfsdo_ is now known as hfsdo [17:30] WoodsDog: They allow you to share /dev/dsp along with other things. [17:30] comicinker, what's zattoo? [17:30] ok [17:30] nikki__, I will look into that... [17:31] Anyone have experience with T.V cards?

[17:33] afh: sudo dpkg -P envygtk [17:33] crushy: will that interupt my display or have to reboot. because I went into the ENVYNG and selected "uninstall ATI driver" [17:34] thermoplyae: hmm...i would say that if you have no troubles with ordinary latex processing, you might want to consider filing a bug against the package, or at least get in touch with folks working on latex-beamer. [17:34] afh: it wont, just in case if your display doesnt seem to work, press ALT + F2 and type dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [17:35] yeah, probably a good idea. i just had a friend test it (not on ubuntu), and it compiled straight away with him, so that's what signs point to [17:35] thanks for your time [17:35] thermoplyae: yep, good luck [17:36] how do I install adobe flash player from saved file on desktop?

[18:01] comicinker: well, I deleted that script so the removal would finish. Now I can at least reinstall or install something else. I dunno what the consequences are... But that doesn't matter since this is a test install [18:01] Reban: that was a fail. I think you should change your password now, we've seen it ;) And you have to write /ns or /msg NickServ before it [18:01] eh.. [18:02] danbh_intrepid: I see [18:02] sipior: So I let the music play and mplayed correctly moves to the next track. It is just not responding to any keyboard.

[18:05] Altari: well, you might get very lucky, if the source code hasn't changed much between versions. might be worthwhile to compare the two versions with diff, see if the patch might work.

[18:25] tmapj: it highly depends on your hardware [18:25] bobertdos, so everyone has that error? [18:26] vladodessit, then what can i do to fix it?

[18:28] hey [18:28] anyone know where I can see the cron's getting executed ? [18:28] krbador, make sure you scan your NTFS partition in windoze [18:28] crontab i think [18:28] There are could be some errors [18:28] mathi_: crontab -L lists one crontab.. check the switches for accessing other users lists [18:29] mathi_: sorry.. it is crontab -l, lower case L [18:29] I've installed X on Ubuntu server, how do I get it to start automatically at boot? [18:29] tmapj: Well, in any case, I would recommend switching everything over to ALSA. [18:30] thank you, but actually I know there is a file getting updated real-time, which shows the cron's getting executed with the time [18:30] bobertdos, how do you do that? [18:30] somewhere ... [18:30] mathi_: a log of some kind? [18:30] yes [18:30] I need the logging of the cron's [18:31] What is the differents between the flash player you install as stand alone app and the one install via the plugin firefox [18:31] hi! which deamon handles the volume/display brightness buttons? [18:31] tmapj: In System->Preferences->Sound switch everything you can over to ALSA. Hit alt+f2 (for the Run dialog) and open gstreamer-properties. Make sure the playback for that is set to ALSA too. [18:32] I fubared my monitor/display settings now kdm displays in some virtual window and I'm left not being able to login to kde ... how do I get my monitor settings back to normal?

[18:32] mathi_: where did you read this? sure it was on an ubuntu system? crontab can be set to do things in many ways.. it might differ between linux distros [18:33] Slart how am I able to know wehn a cron gets executed ? [18:34] I don't know what distro I am using right now :$ don't know how to check [18:34] thanks [18:34] I have multiple machines that need to modify/read the same files. I hear that using NFS can cause issues in circumstances like these... does anyone know of an alternative? [18:34] mathi_: you check the crontab =).. or enable logging and look at whatever is logged [18:34] whats the difference between gshadow and -gshadow im confussed [18:35] botertdos , The reason I ask is when I play the flash videos in firefox they had some sort of problem . I thought maybe I could run flash player with out using firefox. Is that even possible [18:35] Slart: ofc:D === erle64- is now known as erle- [18:36] VLC and Kaffeine both play flashes stand-alone IIRC [18:36] tarelerulz: you can use totem standalone for viewing youtube videos [18:36] mathi_: my crontab jobs gets logged into the syslog.. don't know if it's all of them though..

[18:42] heck you can run a pda as a web server [18:42] It's got a nice standard Kingston 10/1000 [18:42] Decent for my needs [18:42] supertanker: people have C64s running as web servers. [18:42] supertanker: then change the heat sink [18:42] jim_p: that sounds like the one.. thanks [18:43] tarelerulz: okay, well either try that totme plugin that was mentioned, maybe klash, and if nothing else, I can try to help you tweak Firefox's flash -- you choose [18:43] Alright, so man did not get installed for some reason, the man pages seem to be there, but the command is gone: "$ which man which: no man in (paths here)" how do I get it installed without having to re-install the entire os?

Not seen anything in the firefox files that links to a executable . [18:44] lamur , what kind are they ? [18:44] lamur: unp [18:45] did you try apt-get man? (just guessing) [18:45] apt-get install man [18:45] comicinker: "userrights"? [18:45] tarelerulz: You mean you're trying to find an executable flash from within Firefox??? Such a thing does not exist. [18:45] apt-get install manpages [18:45] trigpin they are rar files [18:45] sorry tar [18:46] tar.gz [18:46] tar -zxf [18:46] lamur , man tar [18:46] jeff_, it selects man-db instead, hspaans, it says it is already installed and trying to remove them fails, is there like source code for it? I don't mind building from source [18:47] bobertdos: Thanks for trying to help me. If there is no executable to run flash how does firefox use it ? [18:47] *sigh* I used manual partitioning to make sure it'd leave my partition table alone, and the stupid thing *still* decides it'd be cute to eat it. [18:48] what file can I change my monitor settings in? [18:48] tarelerulz: libflashlayer.so is just a plugin file. That plugin gets referenced whenever Firefox detects something of the swf mimetype.

[18:50] Even so, I agree with jeff_ :D [18:51] Is there a reason why the manual partitioner needs to sanitize my partition table? I hid my NTFS partition for a *reason* - to keep the XP installer from messing with it. [18:51] somebody please tel me what certification is the best now [18:52] network security certification? [18:52] the markets dropped over 3 hrs ago, a bit late :-)) [18:52] hey there... I recently read there was a ocr program that also reads the ocred text out loud... any ideas on which program that might be, google is not giving me anything useful... [18:52] tanx denise [18:53] Instead the Ubuntu (kubuntu 8.04) installer decides to shrink the extended partition to perfectly fit the Linux partitions, and deletes my NTFS partition. [18:53] hello === agib|away is now known as agib [18:53] eh i fegot to tell you guys that i from suriname [18:53] nubae: I haven't really seen any good ocr software for linux.. but text-to-speech stuff is available.. festival is one I think [18:53] my notebook doesnt change into standby when closing it, how can i change it? [18:53] Fine. No help. [18:54] I'll be leaving [18:54] Slart: what I read was something new that both ocrs and then reads it out... made particularly for blind people [18:54] but Ill check out festival, rings a bell [18:54] silverpower: if you did something to obscure a partition from the partition table then it's probably gonna get hosed when something else manipulates the partition table. [18:54] how can i use the "radeonhd" driver instead of "radeon" the chipset is x1600 and is supported [18:54] denise network security in what linux are windows [18:55] scampbell, I set the hidden flag, which changed the partition type to a 'hidden' but still valid entry. [18:55] both no? [18:55] network security in windows? is that a joke? [18:55] (In gparted, I mean.) [18:56] denise please [18:56] yes?

[18:57] general question what /etc/-gshadow different from /etc/-gshadow [18:57] silverpower: isn't 'hidden partition' a microsoft concept and not actualy a function of standard partition table. do fdisk -l /dev/hda (assuming hda is the disk in question ) and tell us if you see the partition. [18:57] general question what /etc/-gshadow different from /etc/gshadow [18:57] Has anyone ever heard of a script/feature that would allow you to select different wallpapers and icons to display on each of your desktops (without modifying the actual Desktop folder) ? [18:57] lamur: I don't know what the original question was.. but since you're asking in here I'd go with "linux".. otherwise you'd be in #ubuntu-offtopic, not wouldn't you? [18:58] scampbell, that's the problem. Ubuntu deleted the damn thing and then shrunk my extended partition to 'free' the empty space. [18:58] yesslart === Tuvok_ is now known as Tuvok [18:58] TestDisk is picking it up, at least. [18:58] yes slart thanx [18:59] hi, can anyone point me to some documentation for cli auto login .

[18:59] scampbell: gparted has a "hidden" flag for my boot partition.. I'm not going to try to set it.. but it's in the "manage flags" dialog [18:59] hey slart do you now how to setup a server with ubuntu 8.04 [18:59] ? [19:00] Slart, that's the one, yeah. [19:00] lamur: just setting up a server isn't so hard.. it's when you want it to do stuff that it can get messy =) [19:00] Slart: yeah, but it's really an MS thing I think. That's the problem with their 'extensions', they only work with their stuff :( [19:00] ah ... relief ... thank gooodness for xorg.conf.failsafe [19:00] I'm trying to find document on how they do it. [19:00] oke [19:00] scampbell: I find it strange that gparted would implement a flag that the ubuntu installer promptly ignores.. [19:00] scampbell, alternate partition types. [19:01] scampbell: but who knows.. there are many strange things out there =) [19:01] silverpower: If it was just a parition type then it wouldn't delete it. Unknown partitions are definately left alone. It had to be 'not in the parition' table. But let me continue to try to find reference, there may be a way out. [19:02] Slart: I work in large scale computing, we don't accept 'strange things' :) [19:02] gparted [19:02] scampbell: I agree fully.. hunt them down and destroy them.. I can hold your drink while you do it ;) [19:02] hi, I am wondering if "Wubi" works on Vista? [19:03] tajen, since when is there anything working under Vista ? [19:03] hi, can anyone point me to some documentation for cli auto login . I am trying to create a device that will boot into a perl cli menu driven application not sure how to get a cli app to be the only thing the user sees. I am running 8.04 server. [19:03] tajen , work fine [19:03] scampbell, the partition in question is a logical partition within an extended partition - but the extended partition has been shrunk to 'free' this 'free space'. [19:04] ok, I just googled it, and the first hit from 17. jan 2007 said it did not, so just had to make sure :) [19:04] tajen , however if you want to try ubuntu quick easyer to use live cd [19:04] Okay, here's what they do. The hidden partition must be at the end of the disk. they then move the 'last cylinder' up to before the hidden parition. If this is truly correct then your fdisk -l /dev/hda should show the disk being actually smaller than it is. [19:04] scampbell: here's a list of many many partition types.. there's at least 10 different "hidden" partition types.. OS/2, Novell, Microsoft etc etc.. [19:04] scampbell: http://www.win.tue.nl/~aeb/partitions/partition_types-1.html [19:05] mind you, I'm reading other folks info from the net here so we want to see if that what they did. [19:05] Yes, but if they used one of those then the paritioner wouldn't touch it unless told to. [19:05] can anyone tell me which command shutsdown the pc [19:05] lamur: sudo shutdown -h now [19:05] The one that's nasty is the one I'm describing where they shrink the disk to make it look like that area of disk doesn't exist. [19:06] What pacakge provides the evince python module? [19:06] thanx slart [19:06] lamur: shutdown -h shuts it down, shutdown -r reboots it.. now is needed because it wants to know when to shut it down.. you can do stuff like shutdown -r +10 to make it reboot in 10 minutes [19:06] scampbell, Fedora's variant doesn't do this - all I wanted to do was set the mount points. I didn't want it messing with my partitions in the first place. [19:07] *sigh* That'll teach me to use a GUI installer. [19:07] thanx agian [19:07] again [19:08] (Since the CLI installer's accepted whatever bizarre setup I feed it without complaint, demur or mutilation of table entries. Just saying.) [19:08] I'f I were to install the madwifi package from the ubuntu repositories, how would I configure it. === tiago is now known as Guest42197 [19:09] Anybody here use cssh? [19:10] silverpower: don't know what to tell you. I've not seen any paritioners mangle the table unless told to. I'm guessing you have no backup. [19:10] scampbell, not for the majority of the data, no. [19:10] hi guys can u help me i have a problem and since i'm new to linux, i don't know what to do.. [19:11] sorry to hear that. Do you know what cylinders the NTFS parition started and ended with? are they in use now? If not just recreate the partition. [19:11] Guest42197: just ask your question/describe your problem [19:12] Not the exact cylinders, no (TestDisk finds a valid NTFS partition in the 'gap'). The problem is I can't restore it because I've used up all my primary partition entries. [19:12] how can i use the "radeonhd" driver instead of "radeon" the chipset is x1600 and should be supported. sorry if thats trivial but i dont know that [19:12] Is it safe to extend the Extended partition back to its original boundaries (all the way to the end of the disk)? [19:12] silverpower: yeah, you could actually allocate to an extended but then you couldn't boot off it anyway. === haptiK is now known as barseflesh [19:13] I have been using cssh fine for over a year and all of a sudden today it is not working. Telling me unkown host for all computers in the list. I can still ssh using the same username to all of these hosts. Any ideas? [19:13] scampbell, it's a data partition, not OS (the boot partitions for XP and Linux are elsewhere). :) [19:13] silverpower: you can zap one of the primaries for ubuntu and put in the NTFS to recover your data. The rude statement "Always backup first" is already ringing in you ears so I won't say it :) [19:14] silverpower: as long as the start and end cylinders are correct you should be able to do it. [19:15] I don't have anything handy here I can do that do to say exactly how to do it :( === pyrak_ is now known as pyrak [19:15] how do i make the automount mechanism mount a usb disk rw for a regular user? === lamur is now known as hacker === hacker is now known as Richnl [19:17] willwork4foo I clean windows for a living === barseflesh is now known as haptiK [19:17] oklinux: excellent...

Does anyone know of any good guides for getting a USB-connected printer to share itself out properly from a Kubuntu machine onto a Mac OSX client [19:18] tis giving me the headaches [19:19] http://paste.ubuntu.com/52181/ <- something is really weird with my ping feedback.

There is a known issue where having only 'security updates' enabled will leave you with a problem.

[19:23] it says no updates [19:23] always the same [19:23] scampbell, okay, my table's sane again but I lost my actual XP partition. [19:23] no updates found in the repositories [19:24] scampbell: both hardy-security and hardy-updates are enabled =[ [19:24] cappslocke: ok, that was the one that I knew of that caused issues. [19:24] scampbell: lets see what happens if i use the dev trun [19:24] k [19:25] cappslocke: you might just mv .mozilla svmozilla so you get new configs, in case it's just a config issue. [19:25] hi, are there any generic cd/dvd writer drivers for ubuntu. Im using hardy on my hp dv2750 laptop everything seems to be working fine but just come to burn a disk and a few programs (gnomebaker, k3b, nero) cannot find the drive.

[19:27] AND, oddly enough, it works as root user ~_~ [19:28] yes, it just sits there, hold [19:28] cappslocke: oh, big hint. I hosed mine up once by doing a sudo firefox it created config files only readable by root under my home directory. Try find ~ -user 0 to find root owned files under you home directory. [19:29] cappslocke: and the way out is to just chown the affected files of course. I hope that's the issue. [19:30] scampbell: hmm, thanks for the hint, ill try that [19:30] right now my console decided to freeze ~_~ [19:30] cappslocke: that's odd. do you have lots of odd issues like that?

[20:46] supertanker, a decent server is run without X server for performance reasons. That would be insane, and if you ask why at someone working on hosting companies they'll laugh at you.

[20:48] I'm having no luck finding a guide, SiDi [20:48] Sidi, I don't need or want X.

[20:54] subsume: though that shouldn't cause a problem [20:54] anyone wanna help me with php5/mysql.. seems like php5 dont see that mysql is running missing config someplace maybe ? [20:54] If so, I'll aptitude search for it. [20:54] nikki_, i think it is [20:55] anyone know how to reconfigure mouse drivers for the MX Revolution? It suddenly stopped working today. Tried on another machine and it works fine...Buttons still work but no motion on Ubuntu... :( [20:55] SiDi, I don't see anything about my problem. [20:55] I'm hoping the whole thing doesn't break again. SiDi what exactly didn't work for you in the latest? [20:55] nikki_, if your GPU is recent, it should be nvidia-glx-new. You can check on Ubuntu docs what driver fits most with your GPU, and then remove --purge yours and install those from repo. [20:55] Everyone just acts like it shouldn't be grayed or something. [20:55] nikki_, my X server was crashing when i was turning them on, and on system boot. [20:55] Distort, what did you mean? [20:56] SiDi, for me, the screen was 'flickering' and making crazy artifacts. [20:56] SiDi, it was same for 96.*. [20:56] kajo, try to use the forums then, i really don't know about VMWare's inner workings. [20:56] Hello [20:56] gdmsetup gives me a segfault [20:56] any idea ? [20:56] nikki_, what card do you have ? [20:56] Nvidia GeForce FX 5600 [20:57] what is in the ~/.cache directory? mine is about 300MB [20:57] Ok then it won't be the nvidia-glx-new. [20:57] Trying to install xubuntu-desktop by "task" in synaptic results in the removal of ubuntu-desktop and evince in favor of xubuntu-desktop and evince-gtk... I thought this would allow me to have both desktops available.. what's happening? [20:57] SiDi, thanks for checking, so which one should I install then? [20:57] windmill, it's likely that this comes from the trash folder that is inside .cache [20:57] nikki_, give me a sec, i'll find you a doc link [20:57] SiDi, thanks a lot. You seem to be really busy on the ircs. :) [20:58] * [Solars] ponders if he can find his old games and see if there are some *nix drivers [20:58] how do I find older packages?

It only seems to be slow on Ubuntu. === agib is now known as agib|away [20:59] SiDi, I see. Best of luck with it! :) [20:59] SiDi, There are lots of file ending in .db in there [20:59] Distort, it would be good to find a packet tracker to see if something is using your bandwidth. Are you using WiFi or something similar by the way ? [20:59] how do I watch cspan.org videos ? [21:00] windmill, .db is likely to be related to databases. It depends on what you got installed on your computer. [21:00] Damn there isn't a search button on english doc, or what ? [21:00] SiDi, where exactly would you look for the docs? I can do it myself. === magical_trevsky is now known as magical [21:00] SiDi: I'm using a wireless adaptor that gets signal from my nearby DSL router.

[21:02] SiDi: i've serched google, and asked around... Before, i tried to run live 8.04, but after the ubuntu progress bar the screen would just shut black with the power led blinking... now, its the same. I'm using an old PCI 64 DRAM video card, do you think it would be that? === IVBela1 is now known as IVBela [21:02] Distort, it could be that a daemon is using bandwidth, or you're not using the most optimised drivers. [21:03] can i eat mushrooms that have hairs?

[21:03] hi guys can somebody help me with wicd? [21:03] Maybe, e-ogma. [21:03] talking about drivers does anybody know if the proprietary driver works stable ? [21:03] the one of nvidia [21:04] I think there is an output when you start X, at Ctrl+Alt+F8, e-ogma [21:04] how do I find older packages? I updated to the latest Openfire today, found that it didnt work, wasnt able to roll back to 3.6.0, and I cannot find old .debs on their website... ?

[21:05] fignuts, sound in which application (please be specific, possibly the one ur using to test the sound) [21:05] in any [21:05] from the sounds manager in administration [21:06] preferences, rather [21:06] fignuts, google "ubuntu + the name of your sound card" [21:06] SiDi: i know but i wanna know if the nvidia driver is stable and won't mess up my os :) [21:06] Whatever this "Thin Client" is, it's taking ages to compress [21:06] ok [21:06] An 'i' to the left of a package in the search result list in aptitude means its installed right? [21:06] the one ubuntu supplies works fine bariga [21:06] where would i go to ask someone to update the Qt packages in the repository? [21:06] fignuts, it's likely that you need to install particular drivers. it happens with old or new or exotic sound cards. Search the docs + google and you'll find guides for most of the cards. [21:06] hi guys....i'm a noob... i moved my home folder to new partition and now the home folder has a lost&found folder with only root access...wheras the lost+found in my root is accesible by me...do i need to change the permissions? [21:06] fignuts, i wrote the part in brackets () to ask which specific application you are attempting to get sound to work on [21:06] thx ejer [21:06] bariga, this one doesnt at all for me (whilst others did and forced me to reinstall it all :P) === mija is now known as mija_na [21:07] hehe supertanker, time to make coffee then ;) [21:07] anyone know? [21:07] I'm trying to start a graphical application via cron. Let's say that I want my Exaile, my music player, to open and play a song every minute. I put in my cron tab "* * * * * 'env DISPLAY=:0.0 exaile'" to setup my display enviornment and start the application. I can see in my syslog that it ran the command but my music player did not start. Any ideas on how to make this work? [21:07] seand, i think you can ask on forums, or maybe in the developers part of the site. maybe they don't update it because they're checkin for compatibility glitches. [21:07] anyone wanna help me with php5/mysql.. seems like php5 dont see that mysql is running missing config someplace maybe ?? [21:07] Poor Pentium III [21:07] SiDi, 23:06 < nikki_> An 'i' to the left of a package in the search result list in aptitude means its installed right? [21:08] hi guys....i'm a noob... i moved my home folder to new partition and now the home folder has a lost&found folder with only root access...wheras the lost+found in my root is accesible by me...do i need to change the permissions? [21:08] :) [21:08] hmm how can I get a list of all files that are in a package, I got via apt-get install...? [21:08] Decco, I think thats been a known issue [21:08] nikki_, yes it does. [21:08] seand: you should search launchpad first https://launchpad.net/ubuntu [21:08] funkja: just one thing.. that would start exaile every second.. not every minute, iirc [21:08] k thanks SiDi [21:08] SiDi, thanks, sorry for bugging you. :P [21:08] profxavier, and how do i fix ? [21:08] Decco, have you scanned the forums about it... if not, thats a good idea [21:08] hello all [21:08] nikki_, you may have to uninstall your drivers in a first time "sudo aptitude purge XXX" if you use aptitude, "sudo apt-get autoremove --purge XXX" if you use apt-get. [21:08] oh okay thanks ejer [21:08] How can I configure apache to allow me to use perl? I have installed the apache perl packages but I can only use it in the cgi-bin directory. Thanks? [21:08] profxavier, i have tho.. that's why i'm here [21:09] * SiDi is completely lost :D [21:09] but ejer, i did just get it yesterday, so it probably isn't updated [21:09] jhaig: that is normal [21:09] tyberion_: Read the manual for apt-cache. The showpkg command would be a good starting point. [21:09] funkja: nevermind me.. I'm lost and wrong =) [21:09] how do i browse into a folder on my desktop using terminal? [21:09] seand: they will not update it in current release unless it is security fixes etc [21:09] funkja: crontab updates once a minute.. no matter what I think I've read [21:09] Slart_: haha okay, thought so. [21:09] sjur: cd /home/sjur/Desktop [21:09] ejer: wow that sucks [21:10] ejer: bug fixes are important too [21:10] sjur: cd ~/Desktop/yourfolder [21:10] Slart_: any ideas on how to start a program that uses X [21:10] ejer: But it is possible to enable it throughout. I've done it on (dare I say it) other Linux distributions but the configuration set up for Apache on Ubuntu is different. [21:10] seand, in fact ejer is right : it's about launchpad :D [21:10] seand: they will do bug fixes [21:10] I have been working in a text document with Abiword, I saved the file and after restart the pc the file only has 1 page, is there any way to recover the lost data????? [21:10] how do I find older packages? I updated to the latest Openfire today, found that it didnt work, wasnt able to roll back to 3.6.0, and I cannot find old .debs on their website... ? [21:10] ejer: do i have to let them know about the bug, then? [21:10] sjur, you should be able to do with "cd" to move and "ls" to display. use "man cd" and "man ls" for more details and options [21:10] funkja: I would make a script then make sure the script runs as it should when started from a terminal.. then try starting it from crontab.. just to separate things [21:10] hi guys....i'm a noob... i moved my home folder to new partition and now the home folder has a lost&found folder with only root access...wheras the lost+found in my root is accesible by me...do i need to change the permissions? [21:10] i get reply no such file or direcdtory [21:11] Hey [21:11] Slart_: I have gone to a different tty console even and ran 'env DISPLAY=:0.0 exaile' and it works. but it won't work in cron [21:11] jhaig: check this, http://www.thesitewizard.com/archive/addcgitoapache.shtml [21:11] Hackintosh411 just made the switch from windows vista to ubuntu 8.04! [21:11] !bugs | seand [21:11] seand: If you find a bug in Ubuntu or any of its derivatives, please file a bug report at: http://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu - Bugs in/wishes for the bots can be filed at http://launchpad.net/ubuntu-bots [21:12] no no it's not in ubuntu it's in qt [21:12] the non-updated package [21:12] "cd FOLDERNAME" to move to the folder named FOLDERNAME. "cd /" to go to the root of your system. "cd ~/" to go to your personal folder. "cd .." to go to parent folder, sjur [21:12] ejer: Thanks. [21:12] macvr: Unless you actually need something in that folder, I'd leave it be. Otherwise, you can certainly try changing permissions. [21:12] funkja: perhaps the "env" thingy just works in bash.. not sure if crontab starts a terminal first.. try running it as bash -c bla bla bla or whatever the bash switch is to run a command [21:12] seand: qt is a toolkit used in ubuntu, you would usually report bug to ubuntu [21:12] sjur, also, "ls" to display the content of the current folder. [21:12] Slart_: good idea [21:12] I have been working in a text document with Abiword, I saved the file and after restart the pc the file only has 1 page, is there any way to recover the lost data????? [21:12] ejer: yeah but the bug was fixed in a newer version of qt [21:13] How can i recover data from the computer registry??? [21:13] ejer: so i was just asking if i should tell them about it, and ask to update [21:13] Marie_untu, ubuntu has no "computer registry" [21:13] hi! is there a russian ubuntu channel? [21:13] seand: most likely it will be in hardy+1 , if you do not see a bug report, you may want to submit one, but most likely this has been covered [21:13] oh [21:13] bobertdos> ok... what about the folder in my root ... is it normal to be accesible by the admin user? why i'm asking this is since i had a problem and a lot of file permissions were changed... [21:13] Marie_untu, what the bloody hell is Abiword ? [21:13] how do I find older packages? I updated to the latest Openfire today, found that it didnt work, wasnt able to roll back to 3.6.0, and I cannot find old .debs on their website... ? [21:14] where would i find hardy+1 ejer? :D [21:14] ok csilk, so is there any way to recover the data typed??? [21:14] !interepid | seand [21:14] Sorry, I don't know anything about interepid [21:14] ejer: please forgive me lack of knowledge about linux :) [21:14] !intrepid | seand [21:14] seand: 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! [21:14] ooh sounds risky [21:14] SiDi: abiword is a word processor [21:14] sidi, it is a word processor, quite known, it comes as default with xubuntu [21:14] Marie_untu, you could try looking in .abiword or w/e the config dir is called. i dont use that app so i'm not your guy [21:15] Marie_untu, it seems your editor didn't actually save the file if there is a part of it missing. And i don't think there is a way to recover it unless AbiWord is able to save current document and propose backups if it crashed. [21:15] macvr: It is not normal to be able to access any folder besides home without root privileges. [21:15] Marie_untu: it is possible abiword saved a backup of your file called yourfile.abw~ [21:15] SiDi: abiword is awesome! === DuGi is now known as Majq [21:15] hi! is there a russian ubuntu channel? [21:16] leslieviljoen, Marie_untu, ejer, sorry, never heard of it. :) I'ld say that you should check the abiword default folder or if there is a version of your file with a ~ at end of name. that's usually where you find backups. [21:16] ejer: where abiword saves the backups??? [21:16] Slart_: still didn't work. darn it. [21:16] Hi Guest85786 : #ubuntu-ru [21:16] what controls the input of mouse movement in X? Something killed my mouse today but the buttons still work fine...just can't move the cursor... [21:16] SiDi, thanks [21:16] Marie_untu: go to edit>prefs in abiword > documents, you will see it by default auto saves every 5 mins to yourfile.bak~ [21:16] Slart_: Is there a way to get better output from cron? [21:16] sidi, better for you, abi just destroy my day :) [21:16] bobertos> oh....could u post a screenshot of ur root folder... so that i could compare and alter the file permissions to match the emblems? [21:16] funkja: cron has a log-level switch.. check the man page [21:17] funkja: you could try saving the output of your command using some redirection too [21:17] v0lksman: even after you restart X? [21:17] funkja: what does your crontab look like now? [21:17] what is the best solition to protect proxy trojen and other attack? [21:17] ejer: yep...even reconfigured xorg just to be safe... [21:17] ???????????? [21:17] ejer: yep, it says "File extension: .bak~", but where it is stored??? [21:18] v0lksman: i know it sounds dumb, but make sure it is plugged in right [21:18] Slart_: * * * * "bash -c 'env DISPLAY=:0.0 exaile'" [21:18] what is the best solition to protect proxy trojen and other attack? [21:18] Marie_untu, in the same folder than the document you were working on, i guess. [21:18] alphae, there is no trojan/virus on Ubuntu. [21:18] alphae, what? [21:18] ejer: hahaha...yeah...believe me...I've tried in both USB ports on my laptop...same problem...also tried in my buddies laptop (same thing running windows) and it works so it's not the mouse [21:18] funkja: tried dropping the "env" and just doing "bash -c 'DISPLAY=0.0 exaile'" ? [21:19] so ejer: in launchpad.net those packages that are built will be in 8.10 but not in 8.04? [21:19] v0lksman, does it just always crash ? [21:19] coil7237: well, i've created new partitions on the drive and after that it didn't work anymore...;) [21:19] funkja: also .. make sure crontab doesn't do weird stuff with your 's and "s [21:19] hello.. how would the process be if I'd like to see the library 'libproxy' appearing in your distribution? [21:19] SiDi: ? no crashing...just no mouse motion..buttons work fine...everything else seems ok [21:19] seand: when ubuntu is released, they no longer update packages for features on that version, only security stuff, so you will maybe need to wait for next ver [21:19] mean irc services like unreal de sidi [21:19] sidi mean irc services like unreal de [21:19] v0lksman, but i mean it's always? I only had this after huge crash of fullscreen wine apps. [21:19] ejer: SiDi: dmesg also shows the reciever each time I plug it in or unplug it [21:19] ejer: do you happen to know when 8.10 is scheduled? :) [21:19] hello im using tsclient in ubuntu to connect to a win server2003 desktop does anyone know how i can make the ctl alt del keystrokes go to the server rather than the local machine ? thanks [21:19] IS there a terminal torrent client that doesn't run as slowly as does rtorrent? [21:20] funkja: oh.. another thing.. try putting the full path to exaile in there too.. [21:20] mean irc services like unreal de ??? [21:20] alphae, you will not receive trojans on linux. This doesnt happen because Linux is cool. [21:20] Marie_untu: i am trying to figure it out === PRGUY85 is now known as PRGUY [21:20] ok, i found the back up file, but the data still missing? you know another way..? [21:20] * SiDi knows that what he said is obviously a very simplified and shortened version of what it actually is. [21:20] Slart_: okay [21:20] Marie_untu: nope [21:20] how do I find older packages? I updated to the latest Openfire today, found that it didnt work, wasnt able to roll back to 3.6.0, and I cannot find old .debs on their website... ? [21:20] SiDi: well it was working this morning...suddenly (while using it) it got chunky then stopped all together...I've rebooted (power off)..no dice...reconfigured xorg, xorg-input-mouse and restarted...no go... [21:21] Marie_untu: I think you are out of luck [21:21] i created the document with openoffice the i modified it wth abiword, then i saved it and now just 1 page was saved [21:21] deever, what are the partitions formatted as? [21:21] macvr: The root directory has octal permissions 755 [21:21] Marie_untu, there is nothing to do if in the backup file data wasn't saved either. Is your Hard Drive Disk full, by chance? Did you change the chmod of the wolder in which you work? (i don't know what else it could be) [21:21] SiDi: even revoco is still working on the wheel...hahaha [21:21] How do I tell the terminal to change it's directory to the desktop? >> [21:21] :) thanks leslievil for not advise [21:21] Marie_untu: those 2 programs do not use same format... so funny stuff can happen, stick with one or the other === mez_ is now known as mez2 [21:22] deever, also, did you set them as "users" instead of "user" in fstab? [21:22] v0lksman, if you're not scared of it, you may boot in recovery mode and reset your X server to default. [21:22] Distort: assuming you're in the home directory, cd Desktop [21:22]  Distort: cd ./Desktop [21:22] yep I know that now, but abi should advise you before open the odt file... [21:22] Why do I get results from Google UK when I use the firefox default home page? [21:22] Thanks :D [21:22] Distort: otherwise, cd ~/Desktop [21:22] otherwise people like me will stop using abi [21:22] v0lksman, did you install anything by the meanwhile, btw ? [21:22] SiDi: hrm...yeah mebbe...how's that different from dpkg-reconfigure? [21:22] bobertdos>i meant th folders inside root[bin.boot,...] [21:22] SiDi: nope...no changes to the system today [21:22] Choice: probably the wrong channel to ask in ;) [21:22] anyway, thanks very much for the answers [21:22] :) [21:22] hi [21:23] Distort, from wherever: "cd ~/Desktop" [21:23] is there maybe an FTP site, where i can get earlier releases of packages? [21:23] Choice, either you;re in the UK or thats the way the firefox homepage is working right now? [21:23] v0lksman: maybe? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=421581 [21:23] firefox doesn't start anymore.. it just quits after the "starting firefox" window dissapears [21:23] profxavier: http://packages.ubuntu.com/ [21:23] Choice, uk and us google are the same anyway unless you specifically click the tab that says "uk search only" or somtheing like that [21:23] Slart_: Sep 29 15:23:01 niniel CRON[22814]: (funkja) CMD ("/bin/bash -c '/usr/bin/env DISPLAY=:0.0 /usr/bin/exaile'") - And it is still not working. [21:23] v0lksman, i'm not sure but i don't know if dpkg-reconfigure really changes everything. It more sounds to me like a GUI to xorg.conf. Reset always worked for me when nothing else did. [21:23] coil7237: the automount mechanism doesn't use the fstab... [21:23] v0lksman, of course you'll backup your xorg.conf before :D [21:24] hello [21:24] where is the java jdk folder? [21:24] ejer: yea saw that bug report...no fix listed though...and I'm in Hardy and not using evdev [21:24] why is linux so careful with allowing its user to make a directory in root? [21:24] I want install lm_sensors but when I write this command sudo apt-get install lm_sensors this error appear Reading package lists... Done [21:24] Building dependency tree [21:24] Reading state information... Done [21:24] E: Couldn't find package lm_sensors [21:24] how can I nstall it? [21:24] babaklinux: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [21:24] i need irc support for unreal where can i get info about that? [21:24] Or, how can I run transmission from a terminal? [21:24] ejer, nothing comes up for results when searching for Openfire [21:24] profxavier, all i can say is that it's not recommanded at all. [21:24] SiDi: how do you reset? [21:24] SiDi, what isnt ? [21:24] Anyone know how in Xubuntu to reinstall the GNOME network manager and get rid of wicd? I don't wanna screw things up === ravigehlot is now known as brightwebworks [21:24] v0lksman: they suggest a fix there... acpi grub line, or use ps2 [21:24] i need irc support for unreal where can i get info about that? [21:25] profxavier: is it an ubuntu package? [21:25] profxavier, using packages not on the official repository. There might be bugs that werent fixed yet. [21:25] babaklinux' flood covered my question :( [21:25] SiDi, i think you meant to reply to someone else, not me [21:25] I am using Eclipse Europa with Ubuntu and the java engine slows down my development. Eclipse is just behaving very slow. Anyway to advert this situation? [21:25] v0lksman, you can boot on Recovery mode from Grub for that. And don't forget to "sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf ~/mysexyxorg.backup" before [21:25] ok - I know this is a little 'offtopic'. I need someone to help me out with some VB for excel... Small problem, used hours @ google and still no answer. Any Excel-script experts who would give their 2 cents? [21:25] ejer, yes, its a package available on Ubuntu [21:26] firefox doesn't start anymore.. it just quits after the "starting firefox" window dissapears.,, anybody know a solution? i already tried reinstalling firefox [21:26] alphae, try an IRC channel that concerns Unreal, not Ubuntu ? [21:26] I give a round of beer [21:26] funkja: hmm.. ok.. let me install exaile and have a go at it [21:26] mez2: if you run it from the console do you get any error messages? [21:26] jnus, did you try Wine instead? [21:26] http://start.ubuntu.com/8.04/ directs me to Google.co.uk I want to change it but I want ubuntu to get money like firefox does [21:26] ejer: I must be having a rough day cause I don't see that suggestion on the report... [21:26] babaklinux: perhaps you are looking for collectd? [21:26] profxavier: no, it does not seem to be [21:26] How do I figure out which package manager I'm using? [21:26] I want install lm_sensors but when I write this command sudo apt-get install lm_sensors this error appear http://paste.ubuntu.com/52222/plain/ how can I install it? [21:26] Slart_: okay, thanks. [21:26] Distort, do you usually type aptitude or apt-get ? [21:26] v0lksman: i posted a forum link, not a bug report http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=421581 [21:27] dimebar how do i start it from the console [21:27] SiDi: but what am I running in recovery mode to reset? [21:27] Choice: yeah but firefox is a quality project that has potential [21:27] dimebar just typing firefox? [21:27] I've never typed either, actually [21:27] ejer, yeah, sorry, its not apart of Ubuntu [21:27] my bad [21:27] Distort: you are using apt, whatever you choose is just a frontend to apt [21:27] v0lksman, there are not much options at all, it'll be obvious, don't worry ;) And please confirm you backed up your xorg.conf, just incase :P [21:27] Does anyone know how to close a window in irssi? [21:27] SiDi: sorry - not trying to get excel running on Ø**nix - It runs perfectly. I've got an excel problem. I want to see my formular AND the values which is used. [21:27] mez2: yeah [21:27] hi all, i just installed xubuntu onto my ps3 and for some reason the network card (wired) is not getting a connection. i am not sure it is fully detected [21:27] ejer: ahh...thanks...wrong window... ;) [21:27] dimebar it says Segmentation fault [21:28] profxavier: you will find the packages at their site I assume [21:28] ejer, do you know how to go back a package ? [21:28] SiDi: hahah...I have backups... :0 [21:28] SiDi: :) [21:28] mez2: just that? doesn't it say anything before that? [21:28] babaklinux, the package name is probably different. Go on the editor's site or packages.ubuntu.com and search for the good one (you can use apt-cache search XXX to search for XXX too) [21:28] uninstall then reinstall profxavier [21:28] ejer, no, they don't have them on the site, so im trying to find an FTP or something [21:28] dimebar no [21:28] ejer, reinstall from what ? [21:28]  scales11: there is a separate room for ps3 http://psubuntu.com/ [21:28] profxavier: this is not an ubuntu question really [21:28] go there [21:28] jnus, #microsoftexcel then :P You'll barely find someone using Excel here ;) [21:29] ejer, falling back to a previous package is [21:29] looking to uninstall wicd in Xubuntu but not break GNOME network manager in the process. Any ideas? [21:29] hey everyone, I have been having a small problem with ubuntu recently and I was wondering, If anybody could help me out. Whenever I restart my computer by clicking restart on the shut down icon, my laptop logs me off but stalls when the load bar appears and freezes when the load bar is empty. Does anyone know how to address the issues? [21:29] mez2: in nautilus set 'show hidden files' to true and rename your .mozilla to mozilla~backup [21:29] quit [21:29] kevin---, no sorry ;x [21:29] SiDi: thanks - (Not mee... girlfriends homework :)) [21:29] funkja: ok.. crontab edited.. now let's wait and see what happens [21:29] SiDi, aw :(. That's fine then [21:30] Slart_: k [21:30] funkja: ok.. nothing but a log entry in the syslog.. [21:30] SiDi: I'm reading this http://news.softpedia.com/news/How-to-Install-lm-sensors-on-Ubuntu-47205.shtml [21:30] macvr: http://paste.ubuntu.com/52223/ [21:30] Slart_: that's all i'm getting too. at least it isn't just my system :) [21:30] SiDi: but don't work [21:30] where can i find the java jdk folder [21:30] Slart_: do you know of another way to do this besides cron? [21:30] funkja: hmm.. I also get a segfault in python just after the command [21:30] funkja: do you get that too? [21:30] anybody know the problem im referring to or has any type of idea in mind? [21:30] babaklinux, maybe the guide isn't up to date or the package was removed for some reason. I would try http://packages.ubuntu.com, or the package editor's website ;) [21:31] Slart_: where would I see that? [21:31] bobertdos> thank you... will match it accordingly... [21:31] hi all [21:31] dimebar same story [21:31] I have downloaded gwget, my problem is when i click on a file in gmail, il downloads only a html page. Anyone knows how to configure the prog? [21:31] dimebar firefox still doesnt work [21:31] [Q] I followed https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows but when I boot i get an error saying it cant mount if i select any ubuntu options but not if i use grub to boot windows [21:31] Does transmission-cli not work in 8.04? [21:31] profxavier: change the URL to be the version you want http://www.igniterealtime.org/downloads/download-landing.jsp?file=openfire/openfire_3.6.0a_all.deb [21:31] funkja: in the syslog.. [21:31] snip3r, it could be a file/config/package being buggy aswell as hardware compatibility. Is there any output in the Shell (Ctrl+Alt+F1 for shell, Ctrl+Alt+F7 for Graphic UI) ?

I don't think there is an os that is.. yet.. but it will work.. I run my desktop on a SSD [21:58] i see slart [21:58] slade605: what problems did you encounter? [21:58] dimebar when i untick epiphany-gecko, it also wants to uninstall epiphany itself, and there is no webkit package [21:58] DanCarr: I am using one now. What is SSD?

Just check the box that you need the alternate cd. [21:59] histo: No, my buddy told me to try Vesa drivers to load because as soon as it starts, it goes out of range on the monitor [21:59] second question is anyone sucessfully managed to set up office 07 through wine yet?? [22:00] slade605: yeah you can try that or on the first menu that comes up on the cd try the "safe graphics option" [22:00] I see Tesco UK does something like this 8Gb for 200 pounds all in [22:00] DanCarr: haven't tried.. but I suppose there ought to be some info about it in the application database.. appdb.winehq.org [22:00] histo: OK, the CD is still downloading, should I get the alternate instead or ..? [22:00] i had a brief look, but it seems most people are having varying levels of success [22:00] just wondered if there was anyone first hand on here that had done it sucessfully [22:01] ok, i've installed ubuntu "inside windows" from hardy heron 8.04 disk and it will not boot -- hangs at boot scripts, any ideas? [22:01] slade605: if you are having issues witht he live cd I would definately use the alternate iso. I have to use it on my machine to install as well. [22:01] anyone know what's wrong if my wireless PCMCIA card is giving a 169. address when trying to connect wirelessly yet there's no MAC address filtering enabled? I am connecting via WPA and am typing in the correct password [22:01] histo: ok, I'll get them both just in case [22:01] hi everyone [22:02] slade605: Basically try the normal iso first using safe graphics option. Then if that won't boot you can always install witht he alternate iso. [22:02] My question. How do I get active file from a nntp server onto my local machine. Do I have to use Leafnode. Is there anything else? [22:02] just a quick question folks..how can I make linux partitions visible under windows? which program should I use for that?

I've used my nokia phone via bluetooth.. not sure if I had a 3g connection though [22:03] ejer, if you're interested, what I'm doing is recording a music video show via a TV card, dumping it to an mpeg, then splitting up the videos with a combination of OCR and just detecting colours [22:03] <_haywire_> kevin--- something is wrong.... can you connect through unencrypted [22:03] redheat: sudo vol_id /dev/sd [22:03] DamienGray, : with the -R option [22:03] slart did you have one set up as like gprs?

I'd have to turn off WPA in the router. Lemme do that and try I guess [22:03] just going to be a right pain to set up [22:03] kevin---, look for "Ext2fs windows" on google. [22:03] david, what are these command if I may? [22:04] kevin---, that's a driver for reading ext2/3 partitions from windowz [22:04] roger... [22:04] ejer: -execdir did the trick, I should have been looking at find instead of trying recursion [22:04] mez2: on the ubuntu forums someone says they solved it by uninstalling firefox and xulrunner and reinstalling them [22:04] can I download the vmware 5.0 anywhere in the package manager? [22:04] no no sorry SiDi, I was asking david about those commands he just typed [22:04] SiDi, Ah cooL! :) [22:04] DanCarr: gprs? I used the internet connection in my phone..

I connected to the phone.. told my computer to use it as a modem but dial some weird number.. *1**2 bla bla something.. basically it connected me via the same route as the phones internal browser [22:07] redheat: can you open a private channel or message to me? I don't know how [22:07] DamienGray: "sudo chmod 777 /path_to_file" I believe [22:07] ok this is the problem: I have audio card with optical out. it works, I can volume+ and volume- by xmms but no way tochange/mute via gnome [22:07] absolutley [22:07] hmm i see slart [22:07] that sounds familiar to this guide i read [22:07] aew galera [22:07] problem is how do i know what number to dial my provider with [22:07] lol [22:07] DamienGray: actually, I think it's 755 [22:08] Damien_ chmod 755 file is rwxr_xr_x [22:08] carandung: What if they're all in a folder [22:08] tem brasiliro ai [22:08] brasileiro ai [22:08] DanCarr: I called my operator and kept asking the same question until I finally found a technician.. there were some other settings too [22:08] DamienGray: add the option -R (recursive) [22:08] I have a question...

[22:09] _haywire_, Umm... Setting the router into open didn't do anything because GNOME network manager isn't allowing me to even connect w/o any encryption -- build I'm using Xubuntu 8.04. I had wicd installed before to get another wireless card working but that didn't work. but uninstalled it. [22:10] anyone know how I can make it not ask for a password with sudo -s [22:10] ! [22:10] DamienGray: yess. There's probably an option to do it recursively and still ask you if you're sure. Take a look at man chmod [22:10] ok [22:10] on the ubuntu cd, if you boot in windows, and see the menu, theres Install inside windows option, does that mean I can dual boot windows and Ubuntu without erasing anything? [22:10] nowimproved: ies, but are you sure you want that? [22:11] yes I am sure carandraug [22:11] Shadiko, make sure to back up your data first though! [22:11] nowimproved: you've read the man page for sudo? there are a lot of options in there [22:11] <_haywire_> Kevinhappyfuntim ahh you'll have to manually connect then and set network manager into roaming [22:11] nowimproved: you know how to use vi? [22:11] ok thanks [22:11] I use vim [22:11] but what does that option do? [22:11] join #ubuntu [22:11] Install inside windows [22:12] join #fluxbox [22:12] _haywire_, is there anyway to reinstall GNOME Network manager now that wicd is gone? I think some files are missing [22:12] nowimproved: ok, so run visudo. It will take you to edit the sudoers but make sure you give no errors. There's an option to there to allow to use sudo without having to give the password [22:12] dimebar when i try to uninstall xulrunner, synaptic wants to uninstall "ubunbut-desktop" as well, is that safe? [22:12] hello everyone [22:12] I did that carandraug it dont work [22:13] %sudo ALL=NOPASSWD: ALL [22:13] <_haywire_> assuming your wlan is going fine then > sudo ifconfig wlan0 down sudo dhclient -r wlan0 sudo ifconfig wlan0 up sudo iwconfig wlan0 essid "ESSIDNAME_IN_QUOTES" sudo iwconfig wlan0 mode Managed sudo dhclient wlan0 [22:13] <_haywire_> Kevinhappyfuntim sorry that was for you above [22:14] nowimproved: hmm, can you pastebin "sudo cat /etc/sudoers" [22:14] http://pastebin.ca/1214040 [22:15] nowimproved: take a look at /etc/groups. Is your user part of the group sudo? [22:15] how do i make the automount mechanism mount a usb disk rw for a regular user? [22:15] nowimproved: just be sure only *your* account can only run sudo without a password. [22:15] _haywire_, see if this works. It's also showing as wlan2 instead of 0 for some reason. I can change that later [22:17] _haywire_, http://pastebin.ca/1214044 [22:17] _haywire_, same issue it seems. No IP, only 169. [22:18] nowimproved: I think by default, users are not part of the sudo group and that's needed to use the nopasswd option. Also, you sure you don't want to tighen up a bit and give that option only to yourself? [22:18] _haywire_, oops, should I put the router back to open on wireless? [22:19] mez2: yes, sorry i was afk. [22:19] just a question but why would someone need a standalone dhcp client? [22:20] ok, i've installed ubuntu "inside windows" from hardy heron 8.04 disk and it will not boot -- hangs at boot scripts, any ideas? === agib is now known as agib|away [22:20] is there a way to save the files from the filesystem?

[22:21] boot from the CD-ROM [22:21] bdbdbd, without doing that [22:21] <_haywire_> Kevinhappyfuntim yes open wireless then issue the commands [22:21] tanath, just select your external HDD to install to [22:21] tanath, I've done it before but it's kinda screwy [22:21] in windows, when you put in the CD-ROM, run the exe on the hardy heron disk [22:21] tanath: do you want to install from usb drive? [22:21] bdbdbd what filesystem? [22:21] bdbdbd, i don't have windows [22:22] it will ask you if you want to install ubuntu [22:22] what do you have then? [22:22] infexion, install _to_ [22:22] <_haywire_> Kevinhappyfuntim i just went through this yesterday when i upgraded from 7.04.... still not sure it's been worth the headache.... maybe should have waiting for 8.10 [22:22] you have to be able to boot from the CD-ROM [22:22] bdbdbd, ubuntu [22:22] oscillocam: the filesystem of ubuntu, how do i repair the boot scripts? [22:23] Kevinhappyfuntim, i have to run something first. there doesn't seem to be anything on the disc to run [22:23] back again! [22:23] tanath, did you see what I wrote? [22:23] tanath: I am not sure what you are attempting to do... you want to install ubuntu to an external drive without booting from the cd and without any operating system [22:23] tanath: is this correct? [22:23] bdbdbd I would boot from the Ubuntu CD in expert mode and re-install grub... I could be wrong [22:23] _haywire_, umm... nope! Lol. So it's not a WPA issue. it's an issue w/ something else [22:24] _haywire_, I say that because it didn't connect even if it was open [22:24] oscillocam: i'm booted from the disk right now [22:24] infexion, i'm on ubuntu now. i want to install it to a friend'd hard drive, so he can take it home and use it [22:24] oscillocam: but the ubuntu filesystem is stored in windows, anyway how can i fix it by repairing the boot scripts / resetting the boot scritps? it has no network [22:24] <_haywire_> kevinbackagain is the adapter coming on or blinking your router lights at all [22:24] tanath boot to cdrom live distro and use that external drive as the partition it installs on [22:25] the "user switcher" keeps crashing [22:25] bdbdbd sorry, I have no experience with Ubuntu -not- on it's own partition [22:25] well, its essentially the same oscillocam [22:25] kevinbackagain, apparently not [22:25] why do I keep coming back with 100 different user names! :( Oh well... [22:25] how do you repair the boot scripts of ubuntu? [22:25] infexion, is there no way to do it without rebooting? [22:25] tanath, I've installed to a HDD before that's not inside of the PC. IT's really screwy. [22:25] is there a time server i can sync ubuntu with? [22:25] kevin---, how so? [22:26] bdbdbd: boot the liveCD and edit the files? [22:26] <_haywire_> kevinbackagain does iwconfig dispay anything for you [22:26] tanath, well it depends on how your BIOS order is set. Linux sees drive order different than windows. Are you trying to dual boot w/ an external? [22:26] BobCFC: I can boot into root mode recovery mode [22:26] _haywire_, it's me now :P [22:26] <_haywire_> heh ok [22:26] BobCFC: I need to rebuild the boot scripts, something's gone screwy [22:26] I'm new to linux can someone please tell me how to install the driver for my graphics card? [22:26] BobCFC without network [22:26] !ati [22:26] For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [22:27] kevin---, i'm trying to install ubuntu to an external hard drive for a friend, so he can take it home and use it [22:27] _haywire_, http://pastebin.ca/1214055 [22:27] !time [22:27] Information about using and setting your computer's clock on Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuTime - See https://help.ubuntu.com/7.10/server/C/NTP.html for information on usage of the Network Time Protocol (NTP) [22:27] It is now Monday September 29 2008 05:27:18 PM UTC-4 (EDT).

[22:27] !inside windows [22:27] Sorry, I don't know anything about inside windows [22:27] tanath, oh. well it compiles for the hardware. So if your hardware isn't the same as his, it won't work I think. Same w/ Windows. [22:27] !boot scripts [22:27] Sorry, I don't know anything about boot scripts [22:27] kevin---, yeah, i was thinking that [22:27] !recovery mode [22:27] Sorry, I don't know anything about recovery mode [22:27] !recovery [22:27] To rescue a broken system, boot the alternate install CD and select "Rescue a broken system" [22:28] How can I compleatly reinstall *not reinstate, tired that with out luck* grub from a live cd? [22:28] kevin---, but can it not detect hardware changes, and use the appropriate drivers? [22:28] sorry bdbdbd i thought it was a grub problem, init and upstart is abit beyond me [22:29] tanath, but he can install it himself on that HDD, but if he has Windows, good luck. Sometimes you'll have to change GRUB to set the USB as hda instead of hdb or have it hd0 depending on something. It's been a month since I did it. It took us forever to get it to work because when we installed it, the USB drive was read as hda in Linux and not hdb. Really difficult since the Windows drive was the main one. [22:29] kevin---, no he can't. there's some issues [22:29] kevin---, his windows install is corrupted [22:29] ok, i've installed ubuntu "inside windows" from hardy heron 8.04 disk and it will not boot -- hangs at boot scripts, any ideas? [22:29] tanath, the LiveCD has a boatload of drivers, the Ubuntu you install probably does not [22:29] when i install ntp support then click "sync with time server" i just get asked to re-install ntp, it's like an endless loop, any dieas? [22:30] tanath, you can just boot to the CD, it won't even touch Windows. [22:30] bdbdbd: well what exactly is the problem? what shows? error messages? [22:30] kevin---, i know. [22:30] tanath, why does he want Ubuntu? There might be other solutions here. [22:30] he left [22:30] how can i install kernel modules if i have a .ko file? === francesco is now known as Guest71190 [22:30] _haywire_, did you get my pastebin? [22:30] ciao [22:30] do i just copy it to /lib/modules/`uname -r`/ ..? [22:30] <_haywire_> yeah i think your close [22:30] bdbdbd at what point during boot? does it start to boot at all? [22:31] rsc-: not entirely sure on this one but try placing it in the kernel modules directory and then modprobe modulename [22:31] kevin---, largely from watching me use it, i think [22:31] tanath, ok, so he wants it as his main OS, and probably doesn't wanna reformat the Windows partition? [22:31] <_haywire_> kevin--- i'm redoing my again just to see.... problem with manual install though is wlan0 gets dropped after a few minutes of inactivity and so far the only work around i've found is to hard boot [22:32] kevin---, i've already partitioned the drive [22:32] tanath, ah ok. So what IS the friend wanting? Since Windows doesn't boot, I feel like putting Ubuntu on a USB HDD probably isn't the only reason. [22:32] kevin---, the plan is to back up some stuff while booted to linux, and kill the partition on the old drive. he has a worm [22:33] kevin---, he brought me the hard drive to try to install ubuntu for him, since the boot & live cds weren't working for him [22:33] kevin---, brought me his new one, that is [22:34] tanath, ah! Well you can use Ubuntu to repartition the drive that Windows is installed on and you can install Ubuntu into. But the LiveCD's don't work which doesn't make sense. That means that Ubuntu probably won't work. I was gonna suggest just booting from a LiveCD and moving the data onto the external HDD or repartitioning the main drive and installing Ubuntu there and then pulling the data into Ubuntu and having it the [22:34] re as a dual-boot. [22:35] morning [22:35] kevin---, his old drive with corrupted windows is still at home. he brought me a newer (and bigger) one, which i've split into ext3 & fat32 [22:35] does the mr kernel support promise sata300tx2 [22:35] !pastebin > carandraug [22:35] carandraug, please see my private message [22:35] can someone please walk me through installing a program I'm new to linux and I don't quite know what to do [22:36] i got a banana called rofs [22:36] whats a rofs? [22:36] jmsthing678: what program do you want to install? [22:36] _haywire_, so I have to hard boot? [22:36] tanath: can you boot onto a live distro on YOUR current machine? [22:36] well it's a game. Eternal Lands [22:36] jmsthing678, go to >Applications > add/remove [22:36] rofs, are you great [22:36] infexion, yes, though i'd prefer not to reboot [22:37] tanath: that seems like it would be the best option to go into the live cd and install it onto the external hard drive [22:37] jmsthing678: I don't think that is available through the repos.. do you have a site or something for the game? [22:37] yes [22:37] infexion, yeah, possibly [22:37] www.eternal-lands.com [22:38] tanath: and then he can take it home and do with it what he needs to... problem is if it is not working with live CD's I do not know how it would work with an external hard drive... [22:38] tanath: so that presents an issue. [22:38] What is the proper way to make the dbus-launched wpa_supplicant go away so I can run one manually? [22:38] How can I compleatly reinstall *not reinstate, tired that with out luck* grub from a live cd? [22:38] tanath: but all is worth trying === the_eraser is now known as apt-get [22:39] apt-get, lol [22:40] hi [22:40] dimebar it didnt work... [22:40] hey, how do i tell what linux distro is on a server? i have root on it [22:41] it has yum and not apt-get, so i'm guessing a version of redhat/fedora [22:41] ozzloy: cat /etc/motd [22:41] oscillocam: blank [22:41] <_haywire_> kevin--- was your usb dongle found during installation of ubuntu [22:41] jmsthing678: did you try the instructions here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EternalLands [22:41] mez2: i don't know what else to suggest i'm afraid [22:41] ozzloy: i didn't see the message about yum [22:42] thanks [22:42] jmsthing678: you need to add a 3rd party repo then you can find it in synaptic [22:42] oscillocam: thanks anyways [22:42] the bit you want is in heading "Install using GUI tools" [22:42] hello, i got my just installed ubuntu 88.04 ALTERNATE, to open gm, but cannot configure monitor or video card... The preferences>screen resolution doesn't allow changes and there aren't any options for video/graphics on administrator menu. help? [22:43] nm, i found it. thanks anyways [22:46] how do i make the automount mechanism mount a usb disk rw for a regular user? [22:46] _haywire_, what do you mean? It's a PCMCIA card. I just popped it in. Lights are working suprisingly. [22:47] Why my ubuntu alvay for deleting files asks premission how to disable it? [22:47] nananuu: rm -r ;) [22:47] I'm setting a static ip with "exalt" gui. I thought I removed the daemon for dhcp3 some months ago. But I keep getting knocked off line and exalt indicates that it is reset back to dhcp. What is doing this? I didn't remove (purge) the dhcp3 config files, but set the static ip I want in the config file as well. (gnome/enlightenment/2.6.22) [22:48] Gammi, in Terminal? [22:48] yeah [22:48] hey, dose any one know how can i select, lets say, 100K fils in MC? [22:48] ok [22:48] coil7237: what about the interfaces file? [22:48] deever: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab [22:48] or you can use the "Shift + delete"... you will still be promt. but it will skip the trash bin and just... be deleted;) === Anonymous_ is now known as gtr_punk_er [22:49] gahgahgah [22:49] x-caht [22:49] x-chat [22:49] Gammi, I eaven can`t delete using shift [22:49] anyone here have a domain with godaddy? I want to know if you can specify an IP address as a domain server [22:49] :S [22:49] danbh_intrepid, this is what I have in interfaces, I'm using eth1: auto lo [22:49] iface lo inet loopback [22:49] auto eth0 [22:49] iface eth0 inet dhcp [22:49] auto eth1 [22:49] coil7237: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [22:49] iface eth1 inet dhcp [22:49] nananuu: which files are you trying to delete, if it in in ur home folder it wont ask, if not you shouldnt delete them really [22:50] BobCFC, in may MP3 player and may folders [22:50] but now in mp3 [22:51] nananuu: You have to use sudo in the terminal to rm files in the filesystem any other place than home. [22:51] what hapens if you do the "sudo rm -r /bin/rm" ? [22:51] Gammi, the world will end [22:51] file in use [22:51] lock [22:51] bobertdos, whats rm? [22:51] lol @ world ending [22:51] nananuu: rm means remove [22:52] danbh_intrepid, sorry about the flood, here's the link: http://paste.ubuntu.com/52250/ [22:52] What must then I do now? === lol is now known as Cream [22:52] coil7237: erm, please use the pastebin, as suggest next time, but it looks like you have eth0 and eth1 set to use dhcp. Thats what iface eth0 inet dhcp means. If you dont want it to use dhcp, and you want to use another program to configure, just delete any references to those interfaces. LEAVE THE ONE FOR lo [22:52] hi, does rtl8187 support WPA2? [22:52] nananuu: you can also type "sudo nautilus" in terminal to get a GUI of the file system; ) [22:52] coil7237: yeah, they are all set to dhcp. I suspect thats why you are having a problem [22:52] nananuu: but be carefull! [22:53] danbh_intrepid, should I just delete "dhcp" or the lines completely? [22:53] Gammi, nananuu: If you're going to do that, it's better to use gksudo [22:53] eee user sharing is disabled [22:53] coil7237: for whatever interface you want configured separately, completely. but remember to leave the 2 lines about lo alone [22:53] bobertdos: I use su, then the comando... i don't like the... sudo thingy:P but i aslo use the & at the end;) [22:53] danbh_intrepid, thanks! [22:54] Gammi: he means that because its an x program not command line you should use gksu or gksudo [22:55] The problem is when the files have the emblem read only [22:55] BobCFC, but why? why not just use su or sudo... ? [22:55] and I cant delete them [22:56] Gammi: Because sudo doesn't always set up the environment properly for X applications. Sometimes, it raises the users privileges, but still interfaces with the user's profile when it SHOULD interface with root's. [22:56] Gammi: the gk versions ask for password in a window not command line.. i think the problem is if sudop crashes when as root somehting happens to permissions and u might get stuck. i never had a problem though [22:57] I am trying to bind the F7 key with Xbindkeys. and i need help on what the "Command" whould be [22:57] Hello. Anyone here uses the new BCM43xx driver ? [22:57] BobCFC, bobertdos: I never got problems with that either... but i don't use sudo... but i will reamember it.. thanks.. [22:58] sisif, i have, but i droped it as i got better hardware. what ya need [22:58] nananuu, if you go into the terminal. you can delete the files with sudo rm -rf <--- that's not the smart way to do it if you are unsure what you are doing [22:58] CartoonCat : do you had any problems with encrypted wifi connections ? [22:58] nananuu, type Alt F2 and type in "sudo nautilus" and delete the files in there [22:59] um... i just moved my application to an other workspace how do I get it back? [23:00] hey everybody [23:00] sisif, I used it on few encrypted aps, so no not really, WPA is a bit ticky, WEP was fine [23:00] http://img213.imageshack.us/my.php?image=screenshotoe6.png Mr_Fixit and others thats what apears when I try to delete them [23:00] CartoonCat : I see. [23:00] um... i just moved my application to an other workspace how do I get it back? [23:00] open the workspace it's at and move it back? [23:01] nananuu, do Alt F2 and "sudo nautilus" [23:01] !gksudo | Mr_Fixit [23:01] Mr_Fixit: If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why) [23:01] how do I open the workspace? === lu5tic is now known as mristermusic [23:01] oh yea gksu nautilus [23:01] :) [23:01] hello there. I need some help. [23:01] Mr_Fixit, and now? [23:01] <--- used to CLI [23:02] now go delete the files you want.. [23:02] Can anyone recomend me a nice network manager, besides WICD ? [23:02] we need to stop it mounting as root in the first place really [23:02] gksu nautilus is how you can delete anything you need [23:02] as long as you're careful :) [23:02] man..I have a sweet linux but know nothing about it. [23:03] does anybody know a software to merge multiple pdf files? [23:03] well bobertdos it's more safe than them doin rm -rf [23:03] yes can some one please tell me how to access my other workspace?? [23:03] click on the square in the corner [23:03] ha [23:03] jmsthing678, Ctrl Alt Left arrow [23:03] anyone know how i can make the volume controls on my logitech keyboard work on 8.04? [23:03] Mr_Fixit, no the same [23:04] thanks [23:04] Does anyone here know how to disable backtrace? [23:04] nananuu, click the arrow on there and tell me the reason why it doesn't let you? [23:04] why doesent that button show up in the bottom like it used to? [23:04] Mr_Fixit: In a way, I suppose, but it's still more dangerous because giving a novice root control of Nautilus pretty much gives them license to do whatever they want, which is an easy way to damage the system. [23:04] hey how does one learn to use this [23:04] jmsthing678: you can rightclick on the panel and add it again..choose add to panel then scroll down to workspaces [23:05] very true bobertdos.....

[23:12] nananuu, did you delete your bloodhound gang yet? [23:12] deever: Besides, I interpret your question as having a flash drive plugged in all the time, and therefore allowing it to mount on boot, correct? [23:12] bobertdos: but i don't want to fill up the systems fstab with user-specific devices.... [23:12] Mr_Fixit, noo [23:12] bobertdos: no, a usb drive [23:12] how do i move wine to another partition while having everything stil work? [23:13] deever: yeah, they're equivalent terms.........I think there might be separate articles for what you want to do. Let's see here... [23:13] nananuu, again.... are you sure you are using gksu nautilus and not just the regular nautilus?

[23:15] deever: So you want to autmount in what way? [23:15] is there anyone here who might be able to guide me through getting my wireless card working? [23:15] oh, oh........hmm [23:16] Mr_Fixit, I`m the owner but why they alvays are only readable? [23:16] is it possible to play sounds out both the headphone jack and build in speakers?

[23:17] PeanutzM: Either use the run menu (Alt+F2) or in the terminal, put a & after the executable name. [23:18] clear [23:18] deever, you're going to have to give users the permissions necessary to write to the partition. [23:18] oom sucks.. [23:19] Does anyone here know how to disable stack protection on ubuntu? [23:19] is there any command for creating a launcher? [23:19] Mr_Fixit, yes I shure. ok thanks for help it`s werry late I`m going to sleep. Thanks guys :) [23:19] !stack protection [23:19] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [23:19] lol [23:19] by nananuu [23:19] deever: Well, I'm afraid I don't really understand what you're getting at, because every tutorial out there uses fstab for automounting. So I may not be of any further help. [23:19] roukoun: what kind of "launcher" are you talking about? [23:19] roukoun: right-click on the desktop [23:19] roukoun, you could create a symlink to the executable - but you don't have control over the icon then - it could look a bit ugly. [23:19] thiebaude: I wish it was that easy [23:20] unop: but with fat32, this was not a problem...is this due to its lack of any permissions? [23:20] haha, taknikin [23:20] donny: a launcher for an app on the desktop [23:20] bobertdos: np, thank you! :) [23:20] deever, fat32 has no concept of permissions and ownership [23:20] roukoun: if you're using gnome, and you know where your application is on the main gnome menu, you can right cilck the icon in the menu, and there are choices for creating those kinds of launchers\ [23:20] hi was running ubuntu on my usb hdd in school and all of a suddent my terminal wont launch or firefox lags could this be X11 problem if how do i fix this please help me???????????? [23:20] BobCFC: i want to know if there is any command available to do it [23:20] unop: this is what i was saying...;) [23:21] deever: make sure the folder for the mount point is not owned by root only [23:21] deever, well, what were you saying? [23:21] donny: i use fluxbox and i want to do it with a command [23:21] Ok. I`m tring to get my wifi card (bcm4311) to work with the new bcm43xx driver. Up untill now I was using ndiswrapper. So I blacklisted the b43, b43legacy, ndiswrapper and ssb modules in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist, I`ve unload ndiswrapper via "ndisrapper -r driver", did a update-initramfs -u and rebooted. My kernel is 2.6.24-21-generic. I get a eth2 in "iwconfig", but when I do "iwlist scannig" I get nothing. Any sugestion on what might be wrong ? [23:21] linxuz3r: why do you think firefox lagging and the terminal not launching are connected? === mristermusic is now known as deadinside [23:21] BobCFC, permissions of mount points change after you mount a volume on them - that's not going to address his problem [23:22] roukoun: i used to be a big fluxbox user, but i never created any desktop icons or anything. in fact i didn't even know fluxbox *had* a desktop/launchers [23:22] outbri: thats what i experienced [23:22] unop: so it's just not the automount mechanism's responsibility if the mounted volume is not fat32? [23:22] anyone able to help/point me to where i can get dual monitors working in 8.04 with an ati video card [23:22] how do i get the green bars out of videos? i tried VLC, mplayer and totem and they all have green bars somewhere [23:22] linxuz3r: I'd suggest reinstalling firefox to clear up the lagging on that [23:22] outbri: what could be the causes of terminal not responding? or terminal not launching [23:23] unop: when i create a folder in /mnt as root then mount in fstab it is readonly unless i change the mountpoint owner [23:23] linxuz3r: are you booting a PC with the operating system on the USB HDD, or are you running a virtualized system within a host OS already running on the PC? [23:23] ok ill try that what about terminal [23:23] hahahaah world is fucked. Brazilian stock exchange collapsed. Irish stock exchanged collapsed. Canada's is buckling, America's suffered worst drop in history. [23:23] we're gonners [23:23] hmm [23:23] im booting pc with os in usb hdd [23:23] donny: it has! [23:23] roukoun: i didn't know! [23:23] Tricyclethief: try running nvidia-settings [23:23] linuxmain: does this problem persist after you reboot? [23:23] deever, i'm not sure what that means exactly - what are you expecting 'automount' to do exactly? [23:23] unop: in other words: almost everyone out here does not use sth different than fat32 for external media? [23:23] anyone played warhammer? [23:23] Fuse_, we're all gonna die ahhhh! [23:23] linxuz3r: does this problem persist after you reboot? [23:23] I have [23:23] donny: anyway.... thanks [23:23] socialism ftw [23:24] yes [23:24] donny yes [23:24] hey I need some help [23:24] mez2: there is a key to hide the bottom line, i forget, you can cut a pixel off the top bottomleft or right hang on [23:24] run nvidia settings for an ati card? [23:24] unop: mount && set the permissions [23:24] deever, you could say that - it depends on where you will be using your removable media [23:24] digitalfiz: I reckon it'll just usher in the era of responsible capitalism, personally. Do away with this silly 'free market knows all' notion. [23:24] it was not doing that same problem the first time i booted and i ran of the usb hdd with ubuntu in it for several hours [23:24] linxuz3r: are you familiar with the "virtual terminal" you can get to with Control+Alt+F# key combination? [23:24] deever, permissions are not controlled by automount - atleast not with ext3 [23:24] donny im not in ubuntu right now [23:25] linxuz3r: but are you familiar with it? [23:25] deever, permissions are actually an entirely different issue - you set them once and they stick forever [23:25] yes [23:25] yes [23:25] linxuz3r: were you experiencing any problems with that terminal? [23:25] Tricyclethief: oh, sorry, no. That's what I use for my nvidia card. not sure what ati uses [23:25] I apologise for all the popping in and out [23:25] its monitor terminal [23:25] i did not try that [23:25] when i go back to school ill do that [23:25] thanks I got it working [23:25] trying to install in school windows xp on usb hdd [23:25] too [23:25] linxuz3r: well i'm not necessarily an authority on the subject, but finding out whether or not you have a problem with that vt will help diagnose what the problmem is [23:25] hey all you friggen linux professors help me [23:26] do any of you know about Garnome, i'm runing a full compile and I'm getting hungup on firefox, it won't build properly. I tried Garnomes IRC but it was deserted [23:26] outbri yeah =\ ive tryd the catalyst program and i get dual monitor non cloned at log in screen but once i enter username/pass it kicks it back to clone [23:26] ok ill try that [23:26] I am testing my IRC client [23:26] BobCFC, if you created a directory under /mnt as root and mounted a volume that was owned by some other user - the directory then reflects the permissions and ownership of the volume [23:26] linxuz3r: you might try sticking the USB HDD into a running system and checking its entire memory to make sure that it's working properly (ie. cat /dev/sda0 > /dev/null or something similar) [23:27] linxuz3r: one possible problem that comes to mind is that your flash HDD might be failing, and that certain system calls may lock up when attempting to access information at the damaged area [23:28] the wireless troubleshooter didn't help [23:28] bobCFC a key? [23:28] the problem is that I have a RT2561 which is supposed to be supported out of the box [23:28] linxuz3r: this will cause a number of processes to freeze up, and may result in a cascade failure that ultimately freezes your entire system, or it may remain isolated. that sort of problem can be frustrating to troubleshoot, so i strongly recommend verifying the integrity of the entire hdd [23:28] but it's not working at all [23:29] mez2: yes sorry im looking cant find it yet [23:30] mez2: i read on a forums someone said about greenline at bottom, a reply was press this key such as crtl-K etc and it chops off the bottom line, its a problem on windows too not a linux thing [23:30] deadinside: How may we help you? [23:30] i have ubuntu on my laptop and desktop , how would i be able to network them together for file sharing (they are already on the same lan ) [23:31] mez2: cant find which key but there are four keys too chop a line off top bottom left right [23:31] donny how do i verify the integrity of my hdd? [23:31] !nfs| Xcerca [23:31] Xcerca: nfs is the network file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SettingUpNFSHowTo for information on installing and configuring NFS. [23:31] bobcfc i never have it on windows [23:31] donny: how do i verify the integrity of my hdd? [23:31] please [23:31] linxuz3r: you might just plug it into another system and run the appropriate filesystem check utility, now that i think about it [23:32] linxuz3r: please be patient, you shouldn't repeat yourself so quickly [23:32] i added : [23:32] Yay, I have threaded IRC [23:32] leslieviljoen, use #test for testing please [23:32] This makes much more sense [23:33] leslieviljoen: wow seriously? i was *just* thinkign in my head "gee maybe i should try and write a threading IRC client" [23:33] donny: is it fsck? [23:33] Are there people in test? [23:33] leslieviljoen: what's the name of the software? [23:33] leslieviljoen: type /who #test and you'll find out [23:33] linxuz3r: There's more than one way to do it. I usually just use tune2fs to set the current and maximal mount counts to force a check on bootup, and set them back when I'm done. [23:33] can anyone help me with this? === Cream is now known as Invisible_Cat [23:33] linxuz3r: almost certainly [23:33] or for that matter, join and find out [23:34] LjL: maybe she joined, saw no one, and didn't know if it was her fancy IRC client messing up or not ;) [23:34] the RT2561 is supposed to work by default on ubuntu 8.04 right? [23:34] donny whats the whole command? [23:34] donny: I adjusted a very basic Ruby client [23:34] donny: but i know for a fact that there is someone ;) [23:35] leslieviljoen: available publicly? [23:35] hmmm, my client doesn't support WHO yet! [23:35] linxuz3r: probably just `fsck /path/to/hdd/device` [23:35] donny: is it the partition or the device? [23:35] linxuz3r: you should probably also umount it first, since many systems will auto-mount your hdd [23:35] * Mr_Fixit wonders what sudo rm -rf / does and decides to go check it out [23:35] NO DONT === carandraug is now known as consolelover [23:35] Mr_Fixit: good idea [23:35] linxuz3r: the partition [23:35] ;> [23:35] you forgot & [23:35] Mr_Fixit: I will do the same, let's blog about it later [23:35] Mr_Fixit: dont do that here.. === consolelover is now known as consolover [23:36] sounds good bruenig [23:36] meet back here in ten?

But it's really raw and basic at the moment [23:36] lol [23:36] can someone help me setup a raid5 partition? [23:36] hi [23:36] i got 4 drives sda1 to sda4 [23:36] donny: the one thing it does properly is put everyone's conversations together [23:36] !raid [23:36] raid is Tips and tricks for RAID and LVM can be found on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SoftwareRAID wto and http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO - For software RAID, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FakeRaidHowto [23:37] Mr_Fixit: please, don't suggest that, directly or indirectly, ever. [23:37] what are the advantages if any of altering the CONCURRENCY=none to =shell in /etc/init.d/rc [23:37] leslieviljoen: no, but i've been looking for a good reason to learn it (and i love django too much for rails to be that reason ;) [23:37] hey guys can anyone tell me a good alternative to convert x to dvd from windows...

[23:38] Mr_Fixit: you realize about 5% of the channel is in the process of removing their filesystem now [23:38] outbri: so I just type that in terminal and hit enter? [23:38] donny: Once you use Ruby, htere's no going back.

I mean BOOM Desktop :) [23:50] XThief: "have some patience because it might need a few attempts" [23:50] xDD [23:50] i can't get wlan0 to show up with my wireless adapter, installed ndiswrapper, installed driver from the cd, installed wpa_supplicant and i'm not exactly sure what im doing with that but i can't seem to get anything to work with it [23:51] bachir: try typing bash after you save changes to that file [23:51] outbri: I made the directory but i dont know where my ipod is. How do I find it? [23:51] BobCFC: ok [23:51] bachir: but closing terminal shoudl do same thing [23:51] outbri:nvm i saw your last msg [23:51] BobCFC: nothing changed [23:51] LjL http://paste.ubuntu.com/52265/ [23:51] :( [23:52] does anyone know of an app like windows movie maker [23:52] lost_boy432: in the output, look for the vfat, FAT16 or whatever device that is the same size as your ipod [23:52] I installed ubuntu on my iBook G4 in an attempt to get a bit more snap out of it. But the gui is slower and less responsive than leopard was. I've tried using the fbdev and radeon/ati drivers, but neither work well (the dbdev are the better of the two). (radeon mobility 9200) Any suggestions on how I could improve things? [23:52] anyone out there know why I am getting flashing graphics whenever I play games Im using an ATI 1650 its seems to work fine aside from this [23:52] XThief: ok, this is not good. you have a version of libc6 (the most important library in your system) that's different from what Gutsy (7.10) should have. have you ever used third-party repositories, or Automatix? [23:52] does anyone know of an app like windows movie maker [23:53] LjL probably thierd party repositories [23:53] xomp, start : unknown job:x [23:53] leslieviljoen: wait is this a server or a client? or is it both? [23:53] LjL does it have a fix? [23:54] donny: just a client [23:54] sanesto, try without the space "startx" [23:54] outbri: It's a 30 gb FAT32 Ipod but it doesn't show up http://paste.ubuntu.com/52266/plain/ [23:54] XThief: well, i can tell you how to revert to the correct version, but i really cannot guarantee that won't have adverse effects, because there might be several other packages installed with the wrong version [23:54] any suggestion how to power save on a laptop [23:54] leslieviljoen: ah ok, that's what i thought. cool i will take a look at this as soon as i get back from buying a chair [23:54] XThief: perhaps you also used Hardy repository at some stage by mistake? [23:54] I installed the flash-nonfree package from multiverse on hardy but youtube videos still won't play [23:55] LjL maybe, i dont know hahaha, i have installed a lot of things, and i dont remember [23:55] good bye all, i'll try to resolve that after [23:55] thanks anyway ;) [23:55] roe_:you use firefox? [23:55] yup [23:55] I swear firefox is broken since these latest updates [23:55] roe_: did you try the whole ubuntu-restricted-extraas package? i found that worked better than indiviual flash [23:55] firefox randomly crashing when viewing facebook without notice or warning [23:55] LjL the adverse effects could be lost all the data? [23:55] hi, what do I need to install to allow my pidgin plugins to be configured? [23:55] XThief: well, "sudo apt-get --reinstall install libc6=2.6.1-1ubuntu10" will get the correct version of libc6 installed -- but as i said, it might also break your system (which is already broken) [23:56] How can i reinstall grub from the live cd? [23:56] !grub | ubuntu [23:56] ubuntu: grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto [23:56] XThief: no, but it could be an inability to even start Ubuntu, so you'd need to rescue the data using a live CD [23:56] lost_boy432: Sure enough. I'm not quite sure then. Try switching it to a new usb port and running that comman again. [23:56] xomp:are you on ubuntu 8.04? [23:56] LjL its a server and i have some important files [23:56] thiebaude, yah [23:57] thiebaude, my mum visits facebook like every day and after her pc done the firefox updates it's just crashing like crazy [23:57] how do i set a label on a partiton? [23:57] LjL i dont have access to the computer, so i cant put a live cd haha [23:57] deever: depends on the filesystem [23:57] xomp:can you install flash from the adobe website? [23:57] XThief: if it's a server, then the situation must be evaluated carefully. will you wait a couple of minutes while i do something, then i'll try to see if there's a safer way of reverting to a sane Gutsy? [23:57] erUSUL: i though it...:( [23:57] thiebaude, never tried, I used the flash-nonfree package from synaptic with no probs. [23:58] I waswondering if ATI 3650 is suported in 8.04 or next version out of the box. I have two of such cards in my system driving 3 displays. [23:58] deever: so what's the partition filesystem? ext3; ntfs; vfat? [23:58] LjL ok, take your time, and thank you for helping me. I will get something to eat meanwhile [23:58] roe_: You could try flash 10 or maybe Mozilla's own build of Firefox. [23:58] outbri: same output with all three ports [23:59] bobertdos, I'd like to keep to the package system [23:59] hello can someone help with a question about ubuntu? [23:59] roe_:i kept searching google for a way to install flash 10 amd finally did, but dont know what website it was. [23:59] !ask | JRW135 [23:59] JRW135: 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. :-) [23:59] before i install ubuntu i would like to know if i can use other Windows based programs, specifically NetObjects fusion, a website builder
