[00:00] trebnoj: though making an rpms much more annoying than a tarball [00:00] Anyone have any ideas? [00:00] redf1sh: yeah i noticed. thx for the help! [00:00] jrib: gconftool-2 -g /apps/nautilus/preferences/show_desktop [00:00] srry [00:00] leslieviljoen: the shared folders are accessible fine before wine is installed. after installing wine it can't seem to mount the shared folders [00:01] trebnoj: good luck! [00:01] jrib; /xscreensaver/glmatrix -root [00:01] Deiselton: erm. That's your command? [00:01] thats what i read to do [00:02] can someone help me with using ubuntu-vm-builder? it won't accept "sudo ubuntu-vm-builder kvm intrepid" [00:02] hi [00:02] Deiselton: what's the output? [00:02] jrib... says i just have to set the -root [00:02] I am using ubuntu and firefox3; I just wrote a long blog entry (several pages) and firefox locked up. Anyone know a command to unlock it, so I don't lose what I wrote [00:02] Deiselton: pastebin the full command and full output [00:02] !pastebin > Deiselton [00:02] Deiselton, please see my private message [00:02] Actually, I have two instances of firefox, maybe If I close the offending instance [00:03] no it'll ask to force quit and kill both firefox's [00:03] try and kill the plugin if its flash or something [00:03] DigitalFiz, cool, how would I kill the plugin. I bet that is the offending entity [00:04] hey does 510MB and 1GB of RAM make a lot of difference in Xubuntu on eeepc like hardware? [00:04] any easy way to easily turn on/off the touchpad on a laptop? for some reason while I'm typing my cursor will appear somewhere else? [00:04] jrib: dont worry about it.... i figured it out... i wasnt running gconf with the sudo command so it was just changing back to show desktop everytime i tried to set it... kinda wierd [00:04] but its fixed now... thanks [00:04] ryuho-campus:more ram is better [00:04] . [00:04] Deiselton: you shouldn't need to do that... especially since it returned false when you queried its value [00:04] thiebaude, right, but is it worth the $50? [00:04] hllo [00:05] blbrown, check top see if you see anything for flash [00:05] i had the same problem with wine... [00:05] !touchpad | Lamo [00:05] Lamo: For a comprehensive Synaptics Touchpad guide, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SynapticsTouchpad [00:05] Deiselton: you're doing something wrong if you need to sudo gconf and wine [00:05] wouldnt change the user.def file unless i was sudo [00:05] ryuho-campus:you mean to go from 512 to 1 gb [00:05] Ryuho-campus, more ram is always useful... [00:05] how can i test someone's ports? [00:05] Lamo: either that or I'm guessing there's something under System->Preferences->Mouse [00:06] if your machine spontaneously shuts down, where are the logs kept for that? [00:06] Hey ya'll. I'm using wine to play warcraft 3, but I have to play it in a window. Is there any way to keep the mouse from leaving the warcraft 3 window when I'm playing? [00:06] PhaquiLaptop, not that i am aware of [00:06] ! nmap | Mr_Fixit [00:06] Sorry, I don't know anything about nmap [00:06] Deiselton: check your permissions of files in your home directory. They shouldn't be owned by root: find ~ ! -user $USER [00:06] bobertdos: thanks didn't notice anything under mouse. thought I remember there being a specific app for it. [00:06] thanks georgy_28 [00:06] Mr_Fixit, : use nmap [00:06] airtonix, can't you think of anything? :( [00:06] thiebaude, yes, from 510MB to 1GB does it make a noticeable difference if i'm just browsing web and playing music [00:06] PhaquiLaptop, I always played wow on a dual screen set in window mode so i could use vent and firefox... [00:06] nalioth: /var/logs contains every log in the OS, pretty much [00:07] I know there exist dosens of these programs for windows... [00:07] bobertdos: any idea which one to look at ? [00:07] yes airtonix, but in wow it isn't critical that the mouse can't leave the window [00:07] in warcraft 3, for instance, it is [00:07] ryuho-campus:im stuck at 512 until i get another motherboard [00:07] jrib: any chance you know how to force the screensaver to the second screen on my dual screen system? [00:07] PhaquiLaptop, postal2 has the same problem...even in single screen mode...with other quirks [00:07] man nmap [00:07] oops lol wrong screen.. [00:07] okay yeah [00:07] PhaquiLaptop, not entirely [00:08] but this is a known problem it seems [00:08] why isn't there any fixes? :( [00:08] PhaquiLaptop, it's an issue with wine and the game... [00:08] Deiselton: depends on your setup. Try setting the appropriate DISPLAY value (echo $DISPLAY on your second screen and see if it's different than when you do it on the first screen) [00:08] isn't there a functionality in gnome or anything? [00:08] nalioth: not really, I'd guess boot, syslog, or syslog.0, maybe faillog.......... [00:08] it isn't an issue with wine and the game, because the game doesn't have that feature [00:09] nalioth: a crash or your system just decided to shutdown? [00:09] wine works perfectly. the game works perfectly. [00:09] PhaquiLaptop, it is an issue with wine, since it's "dont let mouse leave window" feature doesnt work [00:09] ooh.. yes, I have tried that feature [00:10] but there should exist some sort of other solution.. [00:10] jrib: it did not shutdown properly. it did what it would do if you unplugged it. CLICK [00:10] PhaquiLaptop, i assume your running with only one monitor and the wine screen is not using 'emulate virtual desktop' ? [00:10] like an external program, or an option in gnome, for instance [00:10] jrib: twice today [00:10] Any grand programs for making bar graphs [00:10] that is correct, airtonix [00:10] I've got one that seemed simple until I chased it a while. I've got a fresh-out-of-the-package Lenovo Thinkpad T-61 ( w ) NVIDIA video board, that won't switch resolutions from 1280x800 up to 1680 x whatever-resolution-scales-up. It won't even see that it CAN go above 1280. I've already loaded the NVIDIA binary drivers, along with all of the other kubuntu restricted extras. Have also pulled in the nvidia drivers from [00:10] bobertdos: thanks for the help, but none of the logs to back to before this current session :( [00:11] can i add space to ubuntu's drive? === freaky[t] is now known as fReAkY[t] [00:11] nalioth: I'd add /var/log/messages to the list bobertdos gave. Are you sure it isn't overheating? [00:11] if i have xtra space [00:11] it wont let me using ubuntu live cd [00:11] PhaquiLaptop, the issue is related(i assume) to how the mouse still sends movement vectors even though its at the edge of a screen...this is wines fault [00:11] do i have to use gparted boot disk? [00:11] jrib: see last message (and no, it's a Powermac with nice automatic fans) [00:11] AnonymousOne: OpenOffice should be able to do that at least on a basic level [00:11] nalioth: fans do fail [00:12] bobertdos, yes, it isn't pretty enough for my likings ;) [00:12] AnonymousOne, have you enabled all your repositories and searched with synaptics?

[00:15] hello all [00:15] airtonix, er? just simple numbers [00:15] how do i minimize a fullscreen application such as a video game? like alt+tab in windows [00:15] nalioth: you could let it run off of a known good version of the live cd and see if it happens still. Then you would be closer to knowing if it's a hardware issue (I'd run a memtest and check the fans). No ideas otherwise about getting more info though [00:15] anyone here that can talk to me about ntfs-config and the fstab file?

It looks like the drive in question is probably ext3. [00:35] im reading through the debian "rules" file that there...and finding the make where it crashes [00:35] i put the actual makefile name after the call to make [00:35] and it went through and then failed at the next call to make [00:35] same reason [00:36] any body know a good site to watch the debate that does not require real player or windows?

I see its connected to the internet either on ethernet or wifi.. but it doesnt respond like if it was offline, i have to make it init 1 then init 5.. is there an issue related to this ? [01:11] juro: 64bit uses more ram for cacheing then 32bit. [01:11] !sleep [01:11] Sorry, I don't know anything about sleep [01:11] ok i have ssh installed, i ssh'ed into my other computer and now i want to rsnyc back to this one [01:11] huh... [01:11] but is says connection refused, is there a firewall that I need to setup? [01:11] FAJ: perhaps you have multiple / mounted? [01:12] g00dfella: the one you are rsyncing back in to would need the ssh also [01:12] histo: he is running off of the live cd when he does this, and so that is what shows up in gparte [01:12] FAJ: you're confusing partitions with disk space inside those partitions [01:12] FAJ, jrib, histo. looking at the system monitor, the biggest blocks are about 512mb for VMWare and 266 MB for firefox - other than that most of the others are way under 100MB .. [01:12] g00dfella: also there is no reason to do what you are doing as you can rsync from the one you are on to the other. [01:12] juro: did you run the command I said? [01:13] I reinstalled windows lately and this is my problem http://pastebin.ca/1217433 [01:13] mefisto__: but he is getting conflicting diskspaces right now... [01:13] I tried fdisk -l but it gives me nothing and when I try to reinstall ubuntu installer didn't see any of my partitions ! [01:13] df -h and fdisk show different free space [01:13] juro: that is one of the caveats of 64bit. If you look in the forums under the 64bit section that is explained in the sticky. [01:13] i tried Ubuntu on my Dell laptop, but there's no sound, no 3d graphics, no modem or anything of the sort. [01:13] what can I do ? [01:13] gparted and fdisk is telling you about space for new partitions [01:13] yes, what does that tell me? [01:13] ihab: sudo fidsk -l [01:13] df tells you how much space is in the partitions [01:13] did anyone run into this problem ? i installed samba and swat, for some reasons none of the links work inside swat [01:13] oh... let me try that... the reason i'm trying to do this in the first place is because every time I try to copy a specific file on this machine it hangs the ui except for the mouse, so I figured i'd try to send it through the other machine [01:14] g00dfella: you could do that and you could also use scp [01:14] http://paste.ubuntu.com/53331/ can anyone help with this? [01:14] mefisto__: ok, so right now he has / with 36 gbs, and when he opens up gparted it says that it only has 6 gb's open give or take,,, but he has about 30 open b/c he never added anything new [01:14] g00dfella: rsync is more for making a mirror on the remote system. Like syncing two directories ... [01:14] g00dfella: scp is a way to copy files and there is also sftp [01:15] mefisto__: pm? [01:15] histo, on ubuntuforums.org? [01:15] juro: yes there is a 64bit section with a sticky let me find link [01:15] i booted the beta disc and it said 2 errors on the error check. should i still install? [01:15] robert__: no [01:15] how do you install drivers for Ubuntu? [01:15] juro: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=765428 read the part about hte memory [01:16] Cacodemon: for what? [01:16] histo, yes reading that already [01:16] ok thanks, i'll try scp [01:16] !who | juro [01:16] juro: One disadvantage of 64-bit architectures is compared to 32-bit architectures the same data will occupy more space in memory (due to larger pointers and possibly other types and alignment adding). The increases in the memory requirements of a given process can have implications for efficient processor cache utilization. [01:16] juro: As you can see, this is a large channel.

[01:21] william_: yeah you would have to log in ssh but then I don't know how you would log in to x. [01:21] william_-> whatever is built in (which is none) is not enuff [01:21] amenado: william_ means vino [01:21] juro: linux tries to be smart about using your memory. If it can use it it will. The idea being that it is doing you no good if you aren't using it. If another app needs the memory, it will free it up [01:21] xomp, what's "bitching" then? [01:21] amenado, histo Well I used TightVNC to connect today so I'm not quite sure... always up for suggestions [01:22] histo-> you did not follow what he asked for, if no one is logged in, he wants to remote vnc [01:22] deathtech: top [01:22] jrib, ok - that makes sense. so how do I uninstall the system monitor? [01:22] onx, it's saying the printer is low on ink and/or out of paper when both are untrue. [01:22] juro: erm, why? [01:22] xomp, where is "it" saying that? [01:22] onx, my print job stays in the queue as "Processing" and won't get past that [01:22] amenado: I know I thought you were confused about what he meant when he said whatever is there by default which is vino [01:22] http://paste.ubuntu.com/53331/ any help? [01:23] onx, I'm suspecting one would call it the icon on the taskbar in gnome? has a pop-up window. [01:23] juro: you can remove it from your panel by right click on it if thats what you mean. [01:23] jrib, forget it - it was a joke [01:23] juro: heh :) [01:23] william_-> google for x11vnc [01:24] okay thank you === remote1 is now known as remote200 [01:24] jrib, I am really missing my Directory Opus though .... nautilus is like Duplo ... [01:25] juro: which features do you miss? (never used it) [01:25] william_: or you can install tightvncserver on yoru work computer then you won't need to worry about a user being logged in. The remote user would have their own X [01:25] william_: you can even connect to it via a java enabled browser with tightvnc-java installed on the same box.

There is nothing in the preference of the program saying that. [01:26] I don't want to install anything except a viewer on the work computer... did you mean install vncserver on my home computer? [01:26] juro: try gnome-commander maybe. nautilus is getting tabs next release though [01:26] Say, does anyone know how I can record a streaming .m3u to a file?

[01:29] tonyyarusso: why not jsut use applications > sound and video > sound recorder [01:29] tonyyarusso: afaik it just dumps whatever data it is receiving [01:29] histo: That would work too, if I can figure out which one is the proper input to select. [01:29] tonyyarusso: you probably want to record your play back [01:30] Ohp, time to jet. Thanks all. [01:30] tonyyarusso: if thats the only audio playing.

[03:39] zetheroo-ubuntu, you will be able to upgrade to Intrepid [03:39] zetheroo-ubuntu: you can download the intrepid packages and install them in Hardy right now ( I did that with pidgin 2.5 and Teeworlds) but that may cause errors [03:39] Matir` : I don't want to have to upgrade to Intrepid ... [03:40] techsupport: I have a better alternative for you. Can't you use Gparted?

[03:41] does gparted support raid drives? [03:41] any idea how to fix that? [03:41] zetheroo-ubuntu, you could install some packages from the intrepid repositories by manually installing them, but that would be a highly unsupported configuration (mixing versions) [03:41] carandraug: are you talking about the ubuntu help websites 6th paragraph?

[03:52] LaQuirrELL: if those are the permissions you want to give, do "sudo chmod -R 766 /path_to_mount_point" -R is to make it recursive so be really careful [03:52] fuck de merde [03:52] carandraug, ok Name is sdb1 , Partition Type Primary, FS Type Linux [03:52] !language | Denise [03:52] Denise: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly.

I never used the tool myself so I would like to know about it [04:04] can anybody help me with disk partitioning problems? [04:04] pw-, yea sure but amarok has nothing to do with it, you need to use smbfs to mount the remote directory locally and amarok will see it as a regular local directory [04:05] ok [04:05] ah ok, tyvm [04:05] !anyone | Trev [04:05] Trev: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..."

[04:23] bouma, remove the package itself and then sudo apt-get autoremove should remove all the packages that it was dependent upon [04:23] Trev, you should be good by removing all the "green stuff" which is a secondary partition (i duno why they are there, they arent been used anyways), once you delete that, you will end up with "unallocated space" which whill be usable by the ubuntu installer [04:23] carandraug: I burned it as iso 9660 only is that gonna cause problems [04:24] usser: ok i'll give it a try thanks [04:24] ...about to give up on "Cheese" and this logitech camera..

[04:24] i did it before [04:25] but they're worthless [04:25] i can't delete them [04:25] PorkSoda: so, what exactly do you want to do? You've already burned the CD and installed Xubuntu. Or not? [04:25] hi [04:25] I have an ubuntu question [04:25] can I ask it here? [04:25] Trev, you cant?, any error message?

Where I live I don't have DSL [04:37] yeah install the dependencys [04:37] for amarok === michael is now known as seij0 [04:37] gamikage: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=591746 , if you have the drive formated as fat32 you could try reinstalling and ,akinging it ntfs [04:37] I'm having computer trouble in general [04:37] PorkSoda: if you can't download another iso, order one from canonical [04:37] *formating [04:37] my computer is not recognizing anything [04:37] alteregoa, that about dependencys of amarok is for me? [04:37] let me explain further [04:37] carandraug: will I still have to download updates? [04:38] yeah, those scripts, read the manual, dependencys and stuff [04:38] PorkSoda: you can do that for free. If you know someone else that may be interested, you can order more than one at the same time [04:38] ive got 100 gigs used up on my portable hdd (data from my windows-box). how can i create a 40 gig ubuntu partition from the remaining space?

I don't know how much would you have to download of updates [04:39] Isn't 2F8 a serial port location? [04:39] techsupport: I'm guessing that means it worked [04:39] and then t goes to another screen and Verifies the DMI [04:39] carandraud ty ty ty ty ty ty may the sun shine on u always [04:39] so what google canonical [04:40] shoutcast?

Let me find the page to get that [04:40] uhmn... yes i think [04:40] thanx [04:40] alteregoa, yes i think [04:41] It's not just the system drive either [04:41] LaQuirrELL: I'm guessing that means it worked. Try the same command but with the 766 so see wether it was the numeric code or the recursive option that made a difference [04:41] there's no CDRom [04:41] the only thing is seems to notice is the floppy [04:41] "bash: syslinux: command not found" what is missing? [04:41] thats why i use edcast with foobar2000 on ubuntu, [04:41] alteregoa, what??? [04:41] seijo sounds like the problem I had a while back [04:42] edcast? [04:42] can you stream music and voice? [04:42] digifor, syslinux is not installed [04:42] i only had problems with amarok streaming stuff [04:42] PorkSoda: I've looked but it seems that there's no free shiping of Xubuntu "Unfortunately, unlike the other Ubuntu derivatives, Xubuntu does not yet have free cds available for shipping due to lack of funding." [04:42] i stream only music [04:42] digifor: perhaps you should install syslinux first. [04:42] alteregoa, and what about voice? any option? [04:42] carandraug, yes, everything is very good, now i have to figure out how to share this new 500g drive with my windows computers [04:42] what a hell happened to ndiswrapper i was using TEW424 usb adapter for wireless [04:42] but since i upgraded/renstalled to new version my pc freezes when try to connect [04:42] to my ruter i need to hard reboot,i fonund out 128bit WEP works ok but not WPA. somebody?

[04:44] desktop cube wise [04:44] here's a big question if I wanted to get Xubuntu through Synaptic [04:45] PorkSoda: you could instead ask the to ship Ubuntu 8.04 and then, one you have it installed, remove Ubuntu and install Xubuntu [04:46] thanks [04:46] carandraug, i installed samba and swat, and for some reason none of the links work withing swat [04:46] carandraug it was the -R that made the difference [04:46] where can I get xubuntu 8.04 [04:46] PorkSoda: www.ubuntu.com [04:47] Does any one know if 8.10 Beta comes with latest ATI drivers? [04:47] LaQuirrELL: ok. well, at least now we know. Or maybe there's a difference between "/media/MUSICSTORE" and "/media/MUSICSTORE/" [04:47] PorkSoda: you can also install xubuntu-desktop but I suggest you do a fresh install to a different partition of xubuntu [04:48] i tried it with out the -R and also with-R and both 777 and 766 it only worked if i used the -R [04:48] PorkSoda: download from here http://www.xubuntu.org/get [04:49] PorkSoda: maybe it's better if you use torrents to download it. If your connection goes down, you can continue to download it on another day [04:49] well thats that ty again and yes cud may have been the / at the end i try it a few different ways just to see I'll be back t ask about the anomaly of storage device manager l8r good nite all [04:49] I did that. thats what on my cdrw [04:50] Ubuntu seems to think opera is my main browser when i click links in irc...but my preffered application is irc. is there anyway to fix that?

So if I set a manual install to ext3, root, format, will ubuntu automatically put in a swap partition? Should I delete the partition first? [04:58] i didn't think unrar was free [04:58] System tab ---> Preferences ---> Removable Drives and Media has no multimedia tab [04:58] can someine tell me the command for an irc client to list all channels with more than 100 users please? [04:58] badfish: it's not free in the free software sense. It doesn't cost anything [04:58] 7zip can unrar [04:58] Can't it? [04:58] ok [04:58] thx [04:59] Yomic: Yes it can [04:59] Pavlz, linus likes it, that's good enough for me! [04:59] Pavlz: do you have a question or just wanted to complain? [05:00] Pavlz: not to mention that you cannot sue Canonical or Mark Shuttleworth because it is clearly stated that Ubuntu is distributed without warranty [05:01] Hello. I am having a problem with flash freezing firefox for about 20 seconds while loading on Ubuntu x64. Can I get a hand? [05:01] Pavlz: there were no recent updates to nautilus. What updates are you referring to?

I was sniffing the network to watch what was going on and I couldn't find a way to kick courier IMAP into shape, either [05:44] i think i accidentally closed it....i'm trying to find a wrapped file or a file that will support the wireless card i have on my pavilion d7 1020us [05:44] this is all new to me [05:45] the packages necessary to setup X [05:45] i just want to watch the presidential debate or download some Hero's and be done with it [05:45] is like if synaptic was triying to connect to web via anonproxy, but dont know why, also anonproxy is already deleted completely [05:45] badfish: about:plugins what does this say [05:45] IntuitiveNipple: can you think of anything? he said that gparted messsed up on him,,, [05:46] SpAc: https://answers.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/evolution/+question/4592 [05:46] FAJ: I'm staying well away :) [05:46] why?? :( [05:47] linny: http://paste.ubuntu.com/53359/ === freaky[t] is now known as fReAkY[t] [05:47] actually i have 2 [05:48] badfish: you could try upgrading to flash 9 [05:48] that's the other one [05:48] i just purged gnash [05:48] badfish: that could be your problem you only need one delete one [05:48] the other one's here, it looks ok http://paste.ubuntu.com/53360/ [05:49] hi my friend used gparted to add to his / partition, unfortunately it did something weird, and now it says that he has 30 g's of used space in his / , which is wrong, because he is not using that much space, and when he checks on df -h it says he is only using 6 gbs of space in / while in sudo fdisk -l it says 30 gbs used. he wants to use some of that space for / but cannot take it away because gparted says it's all used (not free). can a [05:49] i'll be back after i try to take files off my old computer with ethernet cords [05:49] that's it [05:49] thanks [05:49] cool [05:49] brb [05:49] i need to display very large text messages on a screen... can anyone suggest a linux program that would do this?

[05:56] dean0null: A direct PC to PC connection would require a 'crossover' cable [05:57] maybe i don't know how to set up the wireless and that's it [05:57] dean0null: youll need to setup proper network shares in the windows pcs [05:57] <_haywire_> FAJ backup and fresh start [05:57] SpAc: There's not alot to see, but ... http://www.citadel.org/doku.php/faq:favoriteclient:why_don_t_i_see [05:57] _haywire_: how can he back upwell?

[06:07] before that, i'd suggest: [06:07] mdadm --manage /dev/md0 --readonly [06:08] the --remove will ... remove the bad drive from the array [06:08] i guessed /dev/sdb in this example, use your actual drive that failed [06:08] !pastebin [06:08] 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) [06:09] http://paste.ubuntu.com/53363/ <-- thats what mdadm --detail /dev/md0 gives me [06:10] so it looks like it was /dev/sda that failed? [06:10] appears that way [06:10] but [06:10] If I wanted a firewall, what one would I want? [06:10] PoisonArrow: A hardware one [06:11] Doonz: but? [06:11] http://paste.ubuntu.com/53365/ <-- this is what Fdisk outputs [06:11] PoisonArrow: all of the software ones are frontends to iptables, it's just a matter of how you want to configure it (gui or text-base config files) [06:12] hey all [06:12] can anyone recommend an app that can convert mov->mp4? [06:12] so? [06:12] are you just showing me that fdisk says the drive is alive? [06:12] telephone: ffmpeg? [06:12] and that its their [06:12] there* [06:12] telephone: though not any kind of mov [06:12] should mdadm automatically try readding the drive? [06:12] vega_, Ok. I have used firestarter before. I just there might be other alternatives to iptables. [06:12] mdadm will kick drives out for several reasons [06:12] PoisonArrow: Hardy has 'ufw' (Ubuntu Fire Wall) built in [06:12] hola. hay alguien con quien combersar? [06:13] check the drive's smart status [06:13] i have a ps/2 usb adapter that works well in other distros, but doesnt work in kubuntu unless its plugged in when i start the computer, or i hit the caps lock key on a separate usb keyboard... [06:13] vega_, thought there might be* [06:13] http://pastebin.ca/1217653 [06:13] (install smartmontools, run smartctl -d ata -a /dev/sda) [06:13] IntuitiveNipple, Thats the command? [06:13] ok and if its good? [06:13] http://pastebin.ca/1217653 <--- thats the difference between dmesg on gentoo (works) and kubuntu (requires a reboot) when i plug in the adapter (p/2 -> usb) [06:13] PoisonArrow: yes, "apt-cache search firewall" etc. [06:13] if you have a preliminary good, then dig through the smartctl options and kick off an offline test [06:14] if it passes the offline test then run: [06:14] PoisonArrow: That's the package [06:14] PoisonArrow: can't recommend any as i don't use a graphical one.. [06:14] mdadm --manage /dev/md0 --add /dev/sda [06:14] Does the Add/Remove... use apt-get or aptitude? [06:14] IntuitiveNipple, ok ya just enabled it, going to check out the man [06:14] xiaopi: dpkg [06:14] I have no sound, but did earlier, and tried restarting alsa-utils, anyone got any ideas on what might be wrong? I tried lsof | grep pcm as well and that didn't return anything [06:15] thanx insta [06:15] phuzion: yep sound issues like that are common [06:15] just fetch .deb and dpkg them ? [06:15] with Hardy heron [06:15] so theres no way to make mdadm automatically readd drives? [06:15] Doonz: don't readd it until you're sure the drive is fine though [06:15] insta its brand new [06:15] no, you don't want it to do that [06:15] so? [06:15] phuizon: try this killall pulseaudio then try anything that makes sound [06:15] brand new drives are some of the most likely ones to die [06:15] i mean i took out the failed one [06:15] and put that one in [06:16] phuzion: killall pulseaudio [06:16] ah [06:16] ok [06:16] i have another boc ill scan it on [06:16] xiaopi: Synaptic is the usual one [06:16] boc = box [06:16] i thought the drive in there now was the failed one [06:16] no [06:16] if you've already replaced it, then just run the --add line [06:16] Nope, that didn't do anything either, SebNaitsabes === BOG is now known as Guest40755 [06:16] Im having troubles getting php working again on my server can anyone lend a hand? [06:16] !sound [06:16] If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer).

[06:17] william_: VNC is not secure unless you tunnel it over SSH [06:17] or a vpn [06:18] I've screwed gnome when i deleted xorg.conf i can't get it back working [06:18] how can I share files between two ubuntu machines? [06:18] passive: are you in Gnome now? [06:18] no KDE4 [06:18] !scp [06:18] SCP is a secure way of copying files across networks using !SSH. Usage: scp filename user@host:filename - WinSCP is a client for Windows, available at http://winscp.net/ [06:18] Another sound question...I just have a Sound Blaster Live card, but I'm not getting any sound [06:18] Okay, should I even bother with TightVNCServer? I'm having a hard time figuring out how to configure it.. [06:18] lirit: SCP [06:18] that's one way to do it [06:19] i can't login to Gnome it gives me a white page for any session [06:19] !gnome [06:19] gnome is a project that provides two things: The GNOME desktop environment, an intuitive and attractive desktop for end-users, users, and the GNOME development platform, an extensive framework for building applications that integrate into the rest of the desktop. [06:19] passive: hummmmmm so either gnome is buggered up or X is? [06:19] I don't know really SebNiatsabes :S [06:19] Anyone know of any good software in the respitories on which to teach better typing schools? [06:20] PoisionArrow: there are quite a few I can't just tell you the names, but you can search for typing software with Synaptic Package Manager [06:21] passive: I guess deleting the hidden .gnome folders in your home folder should take care of it, but if you can't log in well you need to do it in the Ubuntu console or from Live CD [06:21] xubuntu xfce 8.04.1 is good pc pentium 3, 128mo, 20go [06:21] SebNaitsabes, thanks [06:21] SebNaitsabes i'll give it a shot and come back.

[06:22] Yeah i've installed KDE4 beside Gnome [06:22] insta: i/o on the hard drive'll be something you can look at with hdparm. [06:22] passive: ok well can you log into KDE4 [06:22] yeah [06:22] passive: ok your issue has nothing to do with X [06:23] passive: you won't need Live CD to fix it, since you can log into KDE4 [06:23] Sound blaster Live...how do I go about installing a driver for this? [06:23] passive: maybe your in KDE4 right now? [06:23] Okay just deleting the .gnome folder? [06:23] yes I'm [06:23] I'm not getting any sound at all [06:23] Aloha! [06:23] passive: well user settings for all programs go in home in hidden .folders so deleting any folders to do with gnome should probably take care of it [06:24] jamesish: i'm pretty sure it's harddrive-related actually, because my system is running on a compact flashcard that's in PIO mode. however, it happens while streaming a movie over my network ... so ... [06:24] i'm trying to see if mplayer is thinking it will outsmart me by caching the movie [06:24] 2 folders .gnome, .gnome2_private which one ? [06:24] insta: you said it was i/o related. Is it that or your network, then? What made you think i/o? Just a guess? guesses are okay, I'm just trying to make sure I understand. [06:25] i've only ever seen "wait" be high in top when it was waiting on I/O [06:25] inar [06:25] i love linux [06:25] insta: read man top. [06:25] Sound blaster Live...how do I go about installing a driver for this? [06:26] passive: yep get rid of them all [06:26] aw, that's a pretty official rtfm :( [06:26] insta: it tells you what all the WAIT and whatnot mean. Either that or man ps. [06:26] ok, and it says it's I/O [06:26] :-* [06:26] so it's either network latency or disk latency, and i'd like to know how to tell which one [06:26] insta: I don't tell *everyone*to read man pages. Only people who're sounding like they already have some undersatnding and are interested ; [06:26] Okay I'll give it a shot. do u mind telling me how to prepend the username before the text you are typing ?

[06:27] anyway to pull up the motherboard model # through linux? === khezia is now known as kesya [06:27] jamesish: i know, i was just pretty sure of myself with it [06:27] insta: think of man pages as secret unix knowledge going back forty, fifty years. They're the awesome. [06:27] i use man a lot [06:27] passive: just type name: message [06:28] heh [06:28] rofl [06:28] actually, in my terminal right now, 3 of my 4 tabs are manpages [06:28] insta: okay, you can either benchmark your network or your latency. BUt here's a freebie: if you have solid state storage, and you're streaming a movie over the network, it's almost certainly network. [06:28] SebNaitsabes: Many Thanks ( I'll BE BACK the terminator :P) [06:28] generally, you'd think so, but solid state != fast in this case :( [06:28] passive: yes try log into Gnome now [06:28] solid state in this context just means no moving parts [06:28] insta: try rsyncing a file with the --progress flag, that'll help.

[06:31] alacarte only lets me work with applications and system [06:31] rargh [06:31] dd shows me it's network [06:32] does snmp allow for showing bandwidth usage per client address or is it only bandwidth used at the router point ? === Linwood is now known as Adrian [06:33] libphp5.so anyone know how i can get this file?

ICE default IO error handler doing an exit() ive googled all around and do not find a solution. ive tried removing the file and it still has the error [06:45] AussieGuy: what do you mean by clone [06:45] [Slug]: yeah, you learn the how and why, instead of just clicking stuff [06:45] AussieGuy: rsync tends to be a bad way to "clone" live filesystems [06:46] AussieGuy: especially if it's the OS of the machine [06:46] I enabled desktop effects in gnome but I didn't know direct rendering was off. It turned the screen totally white and I can't do anything. I can get in to gnome safemode (I am now) but not in to regular gnome [06:46] well, here at home I have ubuntu server custom setup with my apache and web application, along with my dns servers etc.........Im going to rent a VPS server, install the default ubuntu server cd onto it [06:46] I'm stuck when trying to use SSH/VNC anyone help me with it? [06:46] then ssh into the remote server and use rsync to clone the local server to the remote one [06:46] <[Slug]> and believe it or not im running a nslu2 hacked with unslung hehe! [06:46] AussieGuy: Ahh, so it might be a bit more trouble, but I would simply duplicate the package listings and then rsync config files [06:46] ive got the kvm stuff all worked out already [06:47] AussieGuy: You can use "dpkg --get-selections" to get a package list out of the "from" server [06:47] superq: the local server doesnt have to be running, cos its a virtual machine [06:47] AussieGuy: It's doable. If you have space, loook into doing a dd of you current drive to an isio [06:47] I could probably extract its files into a folder [06:48] AussieGuy: Still, it may not be a good idea depending on the type of VPS they use [06:48] AussieGuy: Then unpacking the iso via ssh onto the remove. [06:48] Um, remote. [06:48] AussieGuy: They may have modified the installation a bit [06:48] AussieGuy: "dpkg --get-selections > package.lst" [06:48] how do i save battery life? === _weltall is now known as weltall [06:48] they actually reccomended rsync over iso, reason being that it would save alot of bandwidth [06:48] AussieGuy: SuperQ is right, but the best way to find out is to ask them. Just email and ask if it's a default install or what./ [06:48] does anyone use powertop? [06:48] <[Slug]> gnuskool> this little box is kinda nifty, im trying to get it to run ircd-hybrid [06:49] AussieGuy: Hrm [06:49] so when I make changes etc I can easily update [06:49] kinda a dumb question. But is 1 core on a quad core 2.4ghz better than a single celeron at 2.4 ghz? [06:49] AussieGuy: I personally think that is a bad idea, but if they recommend it, maybe they have instructions [06:49] they said do a one time install of a secondary os (ubuntu server) then ssh into it, and rsync over my changes [06:49] how do i change my default dvd player to ogle? [06:49] Doonz: Not a fair comparison [06:49] Doonz: can't imagine so, as it doesn't hav eprivileged access to the L2 cache. THough most quad cores increase the amount of L2 cache to compensate, now I think about it. [06:50] Doonz: since the core in the celeron has a lot of other changes besides being "just one core" [06:50] yeah not sure why i didnt think about it [06:50] :/ [06:51] AussieGuy: Yea, I don't know enough about the setup to give you specifics [06:51] AussieGuy: rsync is fairly easy, the man page is good [06:52] AussieGuy: if you give it a destination like user@host:/path/to/dir/ it will automatically try ssh [06:52] AussieGuy: and prompt for your login === g06|in is now known as go6|in [06:52] AussieGuy: I do something like this all the time "rsync -av /dir/on/local/ superq@remotehost:/dir/on/remote/" [06:53] I'm having trouble with x11vnc anyone have any ideas why I cant connect with my other computer when using a vncviewer?

[06:54] Doonz: I would look at hardware review sites for benchmark comparisons [06:54] ill give that a try. thanks anyway [06:54] super whats a decent one [06:54] I dunno. trustedreviews, tomshardware, there are lots of them [06:54] if i want certain programs to run when i login where do i put them?

[08:25] Daft_Punk, easiest way i can think of is to make a wallpaper that is the size of one of your workspaces x how many you have [08:25] home/.wine (?) [08:26] wers: can't you choose download place when you want to start a download ? [08:26] Daft_Punk, ie : one workspace is 1024x768, therefore wallpaper would be (1024x4)wide, 768 high [08:26] airtonix, http://forum.compiz-fusion.org/showthread.php?t=4279 [08:26] wers: why you don't use deluge on ubuntu ? [08:26] sia-eXtreme, i can but i didnt manage to choose when i downloaded [08:26] airtonix, according to that link, you can do it but i cant find the plugins [08:26] uh, how comes thesaint isn't in teh user list and won't 'bash complete'?! [08:26] wers, use transmission... [08:26] sia-eXtreme, yeah. i just want to access the files i jst downloaded [08:27] does it create a security vulnerability to give full permissions to "others" on a seperate partition? [08:27] airtonix, i use that. i just want to access the files i downloaded using utorrent under wine [08:27] could they install something on that permissions that would give them access to the kernel, etc? [08:27] partition* [08:27] wers, download lastest transmission from their website..i just peformed the operation your talking about [08:27] i have Quad Q6600 .. do i have x86 or x86_64?

[08:29] wers, you have to first specify a folder in the transmission config for where downloads are stored, then you load up transmissionm, then you move the current data for a torrent to that download folder and then..you load the .torrent file and press go/save/download [08:29] zeeeee: festival? [08:29] airtonix, i dont care about transmission. my objective is to access the files i _already_ downloaded with utorrent === lipsinV1 is now known as lipsin [08:30] wers, then ask in #uTorrent [08:30] Hey, is there a fix for the Australian timezone changes?

[08:31] jim_p, (i do already have it installed) [08:31] airtonix, that's what i always use. i'm just trying to play with utorrent in such a way that i would be able to use it in both my windows and ubuntu partition with the same config files [08:31] wers, and i am telling you that regardless of your torrent client..the currently downloaded data for a torrent is able to be read and continued by any torrent app [08:31] airtonix, oh. that's good. thanks [08:31] wers, and transmission is also available for windows afaik [08:32] who know what command i need to viem my current ipaddress allocation [08:32] zeeeee: i noticed you said clipboard after my post, sorry. enyway, you can find a frontend to it [08:32] airtonix, dont worry. i'm using utorrent on windows. hehe [08:32] airtonix, its just good to know that i can continue downloading on ubuntu with another client like transmission [08:32] who know what command i need to viem my current ipaddress allocation [08:32] jim_p, that's what my whole question was about. i have been searching for 30 min but have not found a frontend for ubuntu (gnome) [08:32] where can i download aquarium for compiz fusion? [08:33] wers, all good, just so you know...transmission is compatiable with utorrent dht and pex data also....which only applies while downloads are in affect [08:33] chameleon: ipconfig ?? [08:34] wers, rTorrent will also do this....but my reason for using rTorrent is for the cli, which transmission also has... including a webinterface [08:34] nice. i'll continue downloading with transmission when i go back to my ubuntu partition [08:34] keeps on giving me command not found [08:34] wers, but like i said, any torrent app worth its salt will continue since its a has check based on the .torrent file [08:35] ok. thanks airtonix [08:35] hey guys what was the command for formating something [08:35] ?

[09:00] espacious: i have heard thet ndiswrapper fails sometimes and the solution to this is to compile it from source and install [09:00] askvictor, then can you : ls /var/cache/apt/archives [09:00] IamSOG, do a search with google for : ubuntu uuidd [09:01] IamSOG, throw in ubuntuforums as a keyword also [09:01] jim_p did this i get the 1.53 from sf.net did make and make install [09:01] airtonix: not all there; has been cleaned up I think [09:01] what app can uncompress .7z archives?

[09:06] IF you're serious about using 3ds, dual boot your comp [09:06] Curious-Tux: http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=application&iId=343 after all these critics here, i would not even bother burning to disk [09:06] xiaopi: i'm using 3ds max for 7 years and it's very bad if i can't havi it! [09:06] ow! [09:07] Keep on using windows then [09:07] Curious-Tux: dual boot then. virtualization lacks 3d acceleration [09:07] xiaopi: nope [09:07] It's an external usb drive. [09:08] Curious-Tux: don't know about 3ds but I recommend you to install wine-doors , it's a tool that makes it very easy to install wine apps [09:08] And 3ds is mainly developed for windows, so chances to see a port aren't around the corner [09:08] pyrohotdog: is it listed in lsusb? [09:08] Maya is cross platform though [09:08] xiaopi: really [09:08] ? [09:08] jim_p: negative.

[09:09] (exept some plugins that jus crashed :) [09:09] C0p3rn1c: i prefer native running. faster, more fluid [09:10] Dual boot is when you install linux and windows at the same taime [09:10] it's all very easy to install with wine-doors [09:10] pyrohotdog: is it listed as a drive in fdisk -l ? [09:10] xiaopi: mmm... [09:10] hello [09:10] Curious-Tux, have you not used blender? [09:10] hello [09:10] jim_p: Nope.

[09:12] Curious-Tux, then i suggest you learn to use blender...many a pro move maker have done so [09:12] passive: then its the fglrx fault [09:12] Well use windows and run ubuntu in a full screen virtual machine [09:12] If you computer is powerfull enough (chances are if you run 3ds) [09:12] jim_p: there's no fglrx phrase in the xorg.conf [09:12] Curious-Tux, install windows using virtualbox OSE (a virtual machine) works great for running windows only apps :) (i use it for photoshop) [09:12] airtonix: i am programmer... my friend want 3ds max... ok.. he can use maya too ;) [09:12] passive: can you post it somewhere? [09:13] like where? [09:13] Daft_Punk: really? how? [09:13] pastebin [09:13] Daft_Punk, virtualbox doesn't support 3d accelerated softwares :) [09:13] Curious-Tux, look at the orange project : http://orange.blender.org/background [09:13] Okay [09:13] Daft_Punk: you would have no 3d in virtualbox, so no 3ds [09:13] * Daft_Punk cries [09:13] jim_p: Device offlined - not read after errorr recovery [09:13] And SUN clearly isn't focusing on 3d now : [09:13] Daft_Punk: virtualbox is good for apps that dont NEED 3d. there is no 3d accel in vbox [09:13] windows runs great using vmware, it seems faster than running faster as my old native install :) [09:13] euw3648, doesnt vmware have 3d accel? [09:13] airtonix: no [09:14] maybe it's because I have a 64 bit system [09:14] airtonix, does but too slow to run 3ds in a VM [09:14] jim_p: this the xorg.conf http://pastebin.com/d7fc15562 [09:14] i think that no virtualization product has 3dacceleration... yet [09:14] airtonix: yeah.. i've seen [09:14] xiaopi: vmware does 3d accel? since when? [09:14] C0p3rn1c, and thats as far as you will get .... anything that requires 3d will slow down...since there is no direct access to the 3d card [09:14] Hello all, i am trying to play counterstrike, problem is, i need the '-steamlocal -cstrike' option added to the commandline in wine. how do i get this done? [09:14] 1 or 2 year (you just had to manually edit the config file of the vm) [09:14] 3d acceleration is in the future plans of every virtualization maker [09:15] with last workstation 6.5, it supports up to dx9 and shaders2 [09:15] no vmware doesnt have 3d acceleration atm [09:15] jim_p: but none of them managed to do it [09:15] yes it does.. [09:15] !who [09:15] As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [09:15] Curious-Tux, http://www.theorangeproject.net/ [09:15] xiaopi: nice , I did not know tat [09:15] yeah I was using vmware-player [09:16] vmware-player alone does too from last year option just isn't in the GUI :) [09:16] jim_p, and this is the old backup http://pastebin.com/d2dad25c5 [09:16] jim_p: and if virtualization is also used for security reasons, direct hardware access (which is needed for 3d accel) is a very bad thing [09:16] Curious-Tux, woops...wrong site [09:16] euw3648: we may see it in the near future. when i started linux, compiz was like "look what we managed to do :O" and now everyone has it [09:16] airtonix: yeap :d [09:16] passive: do you have fglrx installed? [09:17] i deleted it [09:17] xiaopi: are you also running a 64 bit system? [09:17] we won't have correct gpu virtualisation until GPU manufacturer dev a chip for it (like vt-x) [09:17] passive: Then add under the device section this line [09:17] Yes i do [09:17] passive: Driver "vesa" [09:18] how could i update OpenGL? [09:18] does gnome-volume-manager have a configuration gui? [09:18] Curious-Tux: for what reason? update gpu drivers? [09:18] But using Windows and running a few app and using 3ds which is a memory eater monster and use heavy 3d rendering [09:18] jim_p: yeah [09:18] Hello. How do I replace kdm with gdm? [09:18] xiaopi: my windows xp pro seems to run faster using vmware, am I seeing things or ? :) [09:18] jxander: i think not, its all in gconf-editor :( [09:18] C0p3rn1c, try running a direct3d application then :) [09:18] 3ds, blender, blah... i only use povray :) [09:19] jim_p : in the Device section or after it ? [09:19] qweqwe: install it and a prompt will come up to select [09:19] ? [09:19] is there a way to change my eth cards ONBOOT=yes to no? [09:19] how to update OpenGL? [09:19] povray is Sweet/Slow =D [09:19] xiaopi: I don't need 3d, I'm a web programmer and I don't play or design games [09:19] passive: under this line Identifier "Configured Video Device" [09:19] jxander, does the drives and media gui do it for you? found in the system -> preferences menu [09:20] Curious-Tux: you need to install drivers for your vga ! [09:20] jim_p: okay then restart xserver ? [09:20] Curious-Tux: from ati or nvidia [09:20] passive: yes [09:20] jim_p: NVIDIA [09:20] jim_p: thanks... is there a way to set gnome-volume-manager to mount at boot and leave a certain ntfs partition mounted for like ever? :) [09:20] jim_p, ok thanks [09:20] C0p3rn1c, so it's totaly different from this kind of software [09:20] !fstab | jxander [09:20] jxander: The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system.

[09:22] how could i install maya? with wine or?

[09:26] airtonix: yeah.. i used wine before... tnx [09:26] anyone know on the ubuntu forums how i can view who gave me thanks and on what forums ? [09:26] Lofde_, rephrase your question it seems incomplete [09:26] airtonix, via a command, not by mouse, and it should not just be pasted there. [09:27] airtonix, on the forums when someone gives you thanks, can you see who it was and on what post [09:27] Lofde_, have you looked at your profile page? [09:28] !info xclip [09:28] xclip (source: xclip): command line interface to X selections. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.08-7 (hardy), package size 16 kB, installed size 72 kB [09:28] poing_, is this what you want? http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/hardy/man1/xclip.html [09:28] I'm trying to do a dist-upgrade from feisty to gutsy, and apt-get wants to remove the current kernel and the modules directory for it.. anyone experienced that before? [09:29] airtonix, yes, but i didnt see where on my profile page it might be [09:29] I doesn't seem to want to install a new kernel image either.. [09:29] airtonix, yeshu! that looks exactly like what i was thinking of :) [09:29] thanks! [09:29] s/I/It/ [09:29] poing_, also more info here : http://newsgroups.derkeiler.com/Archive/Comp/comp.lang.ruby/2008-01/msg00663.html [09:29] euw3648, there is not eth entry et the interfaces file [09:30] airtonix, i found it thix [09:30] ogzy: please pastebin your /etc/network/interfaces file [09:30] how to set the screen resolution to 1024*768 ?? [09:30] passive: if you are patient enough, here is my xorg.conf. you can make on of your own and istall fglrx http://7g.pri.ee/mine.conf [09:30] euw3648, auto lo iface lo inet loopback [09:30] ogzy: pastebin, not here [09:30] !paste | ogzy [09:30] ogzy: 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) [09:31] jim_p: wow it'll take ages for me to know all these options :s [09:31] euw3648, there is no eth entry just lo information pasting doesnt change [09:31] passive, but once you do youll see that its not as hard as you once thought it was [09:32] airtonix, will i'll do it one a time [09:32] ogzy: so the file consists only of one line? [09:32] passive: its the same in 90% of it [09:32] euw3648, ok pasting [09:32] passive: most of the options under fglrx are just tweaks [09:33] euw3648, http://paste.ubuntu.com/53395/ [09:33] ogzy: you pasted nothing [09:33] ogzy: sorry [09:33] Hmm okay i'll get to it but first i should use subsection display to set the resolution right ? [09:33] passive yea [09:33] euw3648, as i said there is nothing related with eth [09:34] passive: note that mine has to do with a tft monitor [09:34] and restarting x again right ? [09:34] yea [09:34] ogzy: then the eth* interfaces are set up by network manager [09:34] i'll set it to 1024*768 [09:34] euw3648, and normally there isnt any entry for other interfaces at the interfaces file, network manager automaticaly handles them [09:34] ogzy: if you don't want that, you have to remote the network manager package [09:34] ogzy, not always true... [09:35] network manager stinks === BoterhamMetKaas is now known as Europa === Europa is now known as Europae [09:36] euw3648, lets first identify the problem, i removed the parameterf quiet and splash from the grub and after pressing enter it freezes after sayin r8169 is loaded and eth0 information line [09:36] euw3648, it sometimes happens indeed [09:36] euw3648, while plaing with acpi anc pci options it sometimes passes it and i got my desktop [09:36] euw3648, ogzy in my experience, the problems i had with network-manager were to do with my own lack of understanding on how things were behaving...and my own pervasive interference and lack of patience [09:37] I have question about EVE there is the licience agreement to view when you first start the game . For me there is no text to scroll to get the end of agreement anyone know what might be wrong [09:37] airtonix: i prefer to handle interfaces with /etc/network/interfaces only [09:37] airtonix: network-manager is too much automatism [09:37] euw3648, which is why network manager hates you [09:37] * Kondensuotas_pie a a a a Stay'in alive stay'in alive !!! [09:38] Falcons_roost, this is a question best taken up on the linux section of the eve-online forums [09:38] airtonix: okay, i edit /etc/network/interfaces _after_ i deinstall network manager [09:38] ok [09:38] hey can u tell me a software that is very useful and handy [09:38] ogzy: okay, this sounds more a like hardware/driver issue with that realtek gbit card [09:39] pavan, read the tutorials and tips section of the ubuntuforums website [09:39] <_haywire_> pavan: terminal is both useful and handy [09:39] ogzy, wait are you using intrepid? [09:39] ok thanks [09:41] hey guys [09:41] airtonix, no hardy [09:41] kaffeine screwed my ac3 sound :/ [09:41] airtonix, http://img214.imageshack.us/my.php?image=screenshot17il9.png [09:41] airtonix, do you think i should try it? [09:41] by automaticall trying to install some codecs [09:42] which didn't work [09:42] but now ac3 sound only works partially [09:42] background track works fine [09:42] pavan : http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=801404 & http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=510812 [09:42] voices are gone [09:42] any hints?

[09:43] ogzy, not sure, i know that intrepid has a network card driver that will smoke and brick your network card. so dont touch it yet [09:43] !enter | pfo [09:43] pfo: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation!

[09:44] indian_munnda, read the above msg from ubottu [09:44] can some one give me path to wine director for windows [09:44] indian_munnda: sudo apt-get install mozilla-mplayer [09:44] i am GONE. see you [09:44] Falcons_roost, windows questions are best discussed in #windows [09:44] Falcons_roost: ~/.wine/drive_c [09:44] ty [09:45] airtonix, so what it that freezing problem at eth, indeed it freezes at different places sometimes passes sometimes says use bus_type methods so random behaviors [09:45] I'm having massive problems with dbus & hplip. Is there a better place to discuss it or can I go through it here? [09:45] sorry, but the wiki pages contain 0 information. [09:45] ogzy, no idea sorry [09:45] nothing. [09:45] Falcons_roost: Np [09:45] hi [09:45] ogzy, try another nic card... [09:45] airtonix, it is a laptop [09:45] :) [09:45] !who | pfo [09:45] pfo: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [09:46] ogzy, usb nics are available :) [09:46] airtonix, but the eth still on it i can not remove it [09:46] airtonix: the wiki stuff is worthless. [09:46] Anybody know a simple way to enable ICS in ubuntu? It's easy in windows but I don't know what to do in ubuntu. [09:46] pfo, in your opinion [09:46] airtonix, i need a way ti disable it from kernel parameters if possible [09:46] !firestarter | sullyva86 [09:46] sullyva86: Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'iptables' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo), or GUI applications such as Firestarter (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE). [09:47] airtonix: no, there's nothing relevant to my problem there. [09:47] ogzy: maybe it is a 64bit only issue. already tried the 32bit version? [09:47] sullyva86, it also has a internet connection sharing section in it [09:47] euw3648, 32 bit is working [09:47] airtonix: not even remotely. [09:47] airtonix: Can i just use it without enabling the firewall then? [09:47] ogzy: then use that. 64bit gets you nothing on the desktop except you have 4GB+ ram and very big file [09:48] +s [09:48] pfo, make a post on the forums describing your situation and provide pastes from : lspci -vvv [09:48] airtonix: did you read what i said? [09:48] airtonix: I don't think i have the ubuntu ucf enabled [09:48] euw3648, i need ti solve this problem :) [09:48] sullyva86, ucf? [09:48] airtonix: i don't have any problem with general sound output. [09:48] airtonix: damnit. [09:48] ogzy: why does it have to be 64bit? [09:48] airtonix: The uncomplicated firewall or whatever they call it thats included with ubuntu [09:48] airtonix: it's something ac3/liba52 specific. [09:49] sullyva86, get rid of it ...firestarter is better [09:49] airtonix: i removed all rc files for kaffeine/mplayer/libxine1. [09:49] sullyva86, firestarter and ufw, are just frontend guis to the underlying firewall that is already insatlled....which is called iptables [09:49] i installed vfstpd and i cant work out where the config file is for it i can actually log into it from my windows ftp client, filezilla but its preveneting me from transferring any files and i think is the case as i can only login as anonymous [09:50] pfo, sorry cant help you im afraid [09:50] airtonix: np, thx anyway. [09:50] chameleon, tried using the locate command to search for the conf files? [09:50] is there any way to get mplayer to play files mounted using gvfs ssh ? [09:51] chameleon, $ locate vsftp | grep conf [09:51] cheers airtronix [09:51] airtonix: Do i need to remove ufw before installing firestarter? [09:51] airtonix: why not simply list the files of the package? dpkg -L vsftp [09:51] chameleon, another way might be to read the man pages for the program, they usually list the conf files paths [09:52] sullyva86, dont think so, just stop it but you can if you want [09:52] sullyva86, ufw is mainly for use on ubuntu machines without a screen [09:53] yeah airtronix, i cant work ou two things where the vfstpd folder is after the install and how to view the man pages and how to edit teh conf files [09:53] airtonix: I actually have gufw a graphical frontend installed for ufw but never turned it on cuz i didn't think i needed it. [09:54] im sorry im asking so many questions im trying to get this done in a hurry usually iwould just sit and read [09:54] chameleon, euw3648 has suggested that you use the dpkg command to list the files : dpkg -L vsftp [09:54] does anyone else have issues with printers stopping working using hplip [09:54] ? [09:54] chameleon: dpkg -L vsftpd [09:54] I love leaving my footprint on the web :) Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; en-US; rv:1.9.0.3) Gecko/2008092515 Ubuntu/8.10 (intrepid) Firefox/3.0.1 [09:55] sullyva86, imo gufw is a poor replacement for firestarter...only the cli portion is worth holding onto if you run a server and dont want to enable x-forwarding [09:56] Lofde_: this is not the web [09:56] airtonix: So is there a way to just use the ICS without leaving the firewall on? I'd hate to have to open ports on a firewall and a router. [09:56] euw3648: dpkj command doesnt work saying command not found [09:57] chameleon: dpkg, not dpkj [09:57] sullyva86, you dont have to open ports by using firestarters ics [09:57] sullyva86, unless the machine making use of your ics requires ports to be forwarded [09:57] airtonix: I know. I mean now that i installed this firestarter am i going to have to configure it so it doesnt block bittorent and other apps etc. [09:58] airtonix: Since before i was running zero software firewall. [09:58] thanks euw3648 ;) [09:58] sullyva86, set your torrent ap to use a dedicated port and open that port [09:58] sullyva86, then set your router to forward that port... [09:58] sullyva86, you always had a firewall running....firestarter is not a firewall..only a config app [09:59] airtonix: No everything is already working i'm just asking if installing firestarter is going to block all that. Yeah but i had it turned off. [09:59] euw3648: dpkg command saying not installed, which is funny i just did an aptget and it downloaded and installed some dependencies i have logged in with filezilla [09:59] sullyva86, i can only suggest that you experiment and find out [10:00] chameleon: dpkg -L vsftpd says it is not installed? [10:00] airtonix: Oh ok thats [10:00] airtonix: thanks* [10:00] sullyva86, but from memory... if your using upnp then i dont think you do need to worry about opening ports. [10:01] hey all, does anyone know the font used in http://www.ubuntu.com/files/u3/helpmenu.png I've never used ubuntu, it's just that the font is really easy on my eyes [10:01] airtonix: Yeah im sure about that im just wondering about other services etc. I'll just try to remember its on now and if stuff doesn't work to configure it lol. [10:01] sullyva86, but you will get better transfer peformance by using a dedicated port [10:02] sullyva86, have a read of this forum post : http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=510812 [10:03] Is there anybody like Python? [10:03] airtonix: Nope [10:04] sullyva86, nope what? no you didnt read the post or no you wont get better peformance when specifying a port to use? [10:04] <{g}> Hey People! Is it safe to assume, that a user without root privilieges cannot restore a deleted file, even if he was the owner of the file? [10:04] airtonix: Post looks interesting i'm glancing over it. I think i already use a dedicated port cuz UPNP wasn't working for me or something. [10:05] sullyva86, imo upnp is also a security risk [10:05] airtonix: ACK [10:05] what is the package for pureftp, sudo apt-get install pureftp doesnt work [10:05] airtonix: So is leaving ports open [10:05] rebel_kid, apt-cache search ftp | grep pure [10:05] rebel_kid: pureftpd ? [10:06] rebel_kid: apt-cache search pureftp [10:06] sullyva86, which is beside the point since upnp opens ports that you dont know about [10:06] rebel_kid: the package name is pure-ftpd [10:06] "apt-cache search" can help us find the right name of the software. [10:07] euw3648, u said it just as i found it :) [10:07] thanks all [10:07] sullyva86, so when monitoring traffice with something like jnettop or etheral...how would you know that port 58333 is for torrents when just yesterday maybe it was 32222 [10:07] * euw3648 wonders why so many people use stupid protocols like ftp [10:07] airtonix: Oh yeah it just opens ports whenever? I'm no expert I just know its more convenient. [10:07] airtonix: If you set your client to stay on one port and not to randomize right? [10:07] sullyva86, mhmm and what did we learn from windows, safe-sex & fast food about convienence? [10:08] sullyva86, jokes [10:08] airtonix: Some of that safe-sex stuff is overblown too haha [10:08] :) [10:08] airtonix, use netstat -p it shows you which programs are using which port [10:08] good evening all [10:08] airtonix: Do you know what package i need to install to enable the dhcp function of firestarter? [10:09] sullyva86, not sure, i assumed it was part of firestarter [10:09] sullyva86, again, i like to set stuff up in a static manner [10:11] aiet time for sleep...big dinner make me sleepy [10:11] sullyva86: I'm just doing ics to get this old laptop online i have next to my new one.

Welcome! [10:12] <[Slug]> come on lighten up bit [10:12] [Slug]: nope [10:12] <[Slug]> laff [10:12] i was surprised to see ubuntu working on an ntfs partition..as my friend installed ubuntu inside windows..anyway thats pure virutalisation and not that much recommendable for not-so-high-end pcs right? [10:14] shyam_k: that's no virtualization at all [10:14] shyam_k: it's not virutalisation exactly, it just uses a file on a partition as a fake hard drive. the only thing that would be slower is disk access, the rest should be the same [10:14] shyam_k: it just runs from a loop-mounted file on the ntfs partition [10:14] shyam_k: which is of course slower than having the filesystem directly on a partition === samba is now known as Guest93296 [10:15] Is there a way to remove manually applications installed in wine? [10:15] oh ic its like mounting from the live cd in that partition.. [10:15] hi, in which folder are the icons of ubuntu located? [10:15] i mean booting from the live cd .. [10:16] ok and its not yet to make ubuntu/other GNU/Linux to run on ntfs right? [10:16] or i heard still ext3 is the best or something. [10:17] it doesn't run on ntfs exactly, it still uses ext3 [10:17] shyam_k: ntfs can't be used as a native filesystem under linux. many things like ownerships, device files etc. would be missing [10:17] hey can anyone tell me how to open a bin file [10:17] shyam_k: and btw, ntfs is not documented by microsoft [10:17] coz i am downloading realplayer it is coming in bin file [10:18] dist-upgrade wants to remove my current kernel when i want to go from feisty to gutsy, anyone know how to work around that? [10:18] ohk so its the same story.. i thought the story changed all the way:) [10:18] shyam_k: the wubi based install creates a ext3 _in_ a file on a ntfs partition [10:18] great! [10:18] even google earth is downloaded as bin file.. iam not able to open it [10:18] pavan: you probably have to execute it, as it's most likely a installer [10:19] so it is executed as? [10:19] any command such as install etc? [10:19] pavan: in a terminal ./nameoffile.bin [10:19] ok [10:19] thanks [10:19] pavan: btw google earth is as proprietary as windows is:) [10:20] k [10:20] hello room [10:22] hey but it says permission denied [10:22] so how to operate that bin file? [10:22] pavan: you probably have to give it execute permission [10:22] howz that going to happen? [10:22] pavan: chmod u+x nameofbinfile.bin in a terminal [10:23] pavan: that gives your user permission to execute it [10:23] ok [10:23] logout [10:24] man 1 dhcdbd includes an example that orders dhclient-script not to change resolv.conf.

[10:53] euw3648: oh ubuntu people have changed focus out of crt monitors? [10:53] shyam_k: not ubuntu, but xorg [10:53] i mean that could answer why its not syncing correctly with a lott of monitors.. [10:53] Greenhouse: no external cd support... [10:54] great! we here are still on crts.. [10:54] shyam_k: newer xorg versions rely on timings that must be probed from the monitor [10:54] hmm.. [10:54] shyam_k: and many older crts just give bogus timings back [10:54] ic. [10:54] shyam_k: it's the monitor manufacturer's fault [10:54] yepyep, perhaps you can start up another OS just to get CD support, then run Ubuntu intall? [10:55] E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem."what does it mean [10:55] yeah sure.. no offense,but dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg has been the key command that i adviced for a lott of people:) [10:55] hey [10:55] hey [10:55] amanulla: run 'dpkg --configure -a' [10:56] I've a very minimal X terminal distribution working now (I don't know the linux core if it's debian or other) [10:56] shyam_k: so in these cases, one has to edit xorg.conf and put in timings and probably even modelines, just like in the ugly old days of xorg [10:57] yeah and i saw that change too.. dpkg-reconfigure is no more going to monitor section.. [10:57] could anyone tell me how to get dmesg to keep sending lines to my term? [10:57] yepyep, unfortunally i'm a beginner at this, can't help you i'm afraid. :( [10:57] can I install from network with X terminal? if yes, how? can you send me a link with some help about network setup for ubuntu? (this is my first time with linux...) [10:57] shyam_k: things get worse if the a monitor (crt or tft) is connected via a kvm switch. most kvm switches break the monitor probing. [10:58] hey [10:58] yepyep, there's extensive help to be found on ubuntu forums, i'd try that one.

I would rather solve the problem at it source (nm-applet) [11:34] agent, well you can associate the ap and then it will pick up the strongest one most likely [11:34] agent, but if the essid are the same there is nothing you can do except hope [11:35] bazhang: ...or use iwconfig [11:35] euw3648, but still need to hope it gets the stronger one as they are identical and no mac filtering he mentioned [11:36] bazhang, you know, nm-applet has something really wrong with it.... because even if i edit the nm-applet settings via nm-editor and put in the correct ap hw address, it still refuses to connect to that ap (even though it has by far the strongest signal).... iwconfig works fine... [11:36] i need some help [11:36] lachlan:just ask [11:36] bazhang: they are not identical. same essid, but different bssid [11:36] agent, agreed; I dont like that applet so always use the terminal for that :) [11:36] euw3648, itconfig seems to always work... i just use iwconfig ath0 ap XXXXX essid YYYY and it works... === tuna-fish is now known as tuna [11:36] ok i was messing around in gnome and change a display setting to flip my display 180 degrees [11:36] lachlanL:so that some one may answer to you [11:36] bazhang, i'm lazy and would like it to be automatic ;-) [11:37] now i cant load the gui properly and need to know how to change the setings thro the terminal [11:37] bssid == hw address (ap setting in iwconfig) [11:37] ^---- yeah! [11:37] ;) [11:37] I have a gprs modem. A couple days ago it was working as per this blog: http://tinyurl.com/3ggyc9 [11:37] lachlan: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart [11:37] lachlan, using xrandr? [11:38] lachlan:so want it to get it back to normal position [11:38] yes? [11:38] was that to me? ubuntu begginer as well so bare with me [11:38] yea i need it back to the normal config [11:38] agent: the problem with wlan is, there are so many names for the same thing [11:38] Now when I connect I can connect and I get a ppp0 in ifconfig but I cannot connect to the internet. [11:38] lachlan: just type what i put should fix all for you [11:38] euw3648, so true! [11:38] agent: like "station mode == managed mode" or "ap mode == master mode" [11:38] hello , i found solution for my bookmarks problem , by deleting profile.ini in firefox folder and packup bookmarks [11:39] some onle pls help lachlan to get his display back to normal view [11:39] Hello. Why is this thread (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=560578) locked out? It was updated in July. I want to provide a (IMO) better solution. [11:39] I cannot ping anything except myself. The modem is a Nokia N70 [11:39] so feffsudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart ? in x server? [11:39] lachlan:im helpless in this case im also a newbie to ubuntu [11:39] can compiz run under xface? [11:39] Hemebond, try #ubuntuforums [11:39] lachlan:but i will google for it [11:39] bazhang: Will do! [11:39] agent: i forgot "infrastructure mode" which is also "managed mode" [11:39] lachlan:mean while you to google [11:40] lachlan: just sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart in a terminal [11:40] i googled and came up with rm -rf .gnome .gnome2 .gconf .gconfd .metacity [11:40] The techs from the isp can see me connecting so I think the problem must be my end.

[11:42] agent: for example, the iwconfig manpage uses "ad-hoc mode", but not "ibss mode" [11:42] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=571188 agent here is a refresher if you need [11:42] let me check [11:43] where is the correct place to seek help with ubuntu-ppc ? [11:43] !ppc [11:43] PowerPC. Formerly used by Apple for the Macintosh line of computers. Variants are now used in popular gaming consoles. PPC was a fully supported Ubuntu architecture up to and including edgy. It is now a community port, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PowerPCFAQ [11:43] bazhang: i'm using 6.06LTS. that's still supported. [11:43] google.com [11:44] PeanutHorst, not sure if there is a freenode chan or not [11:44] i have compiled a module that i'd like to run on start up. it installs into /lib/modules/2.6.22-14-generic/usb/media/uvcvideo.ko but there is already a module in /lib/modules/2.6.22-14-generic/ubuntu/media/usbvideo/uvcvideo.ko. [11:44] even if i remove or replace the ubuntu module, it still loads on a reboot. why is this? [11:44] PeanutHorst, ie a separate one [11:44] is it somehow being loaded from an image? === Doc|Away is now known as Indoctrine [11:45] delire: have you tryed adding it in the sessions manager? [11:45] vallhalla81: loading a kernel module as part of the X session? think again [11:46] PeanutHorst, there is a separate chan for that #ubuntu-ppc but only 8 or so people in there [11:46] PeanutHorst: :O <3 [11:47] vallhalla81: that would need root. i was looking at /etc/rc.local but still this fails to load the new module [11:48] delire: how did you remove the old uvcvideo.ko module? === richard is now known as Guest35059 [11:48] Indoctrine: yes, i feel dirty just being here. you saw nothing. :P [11:48] euw3648: rmmod (rather than modprobe) [11:48] delire: that will not remove the *.ko file [11:49] PeanutHorst: You're off your nut. Hurrrr. I help da pplz. [11:49] Indoctrine: i got off my nuts some time ago. [11:49] went off, rather,. [11:49] hi, how to start lircd as normal user? [11:49] delire: i'd rename ubuntu's uvcvideo.ko to uvcvideo.ko.GONE [11:50] PeanutHorst: What's wrong with ya? [11:50] he every one [11:50] euw3648: i have actually removed it entirely, yet still it loads. [11:50] delire: can't be [11:50] euw3648: an updatedb and a locate returns no other binary uvcvideo* on the system. [11:50] euw3648: i know it is odd. it simply doesn't happen on my Debian Etch machine [11:50] delire: so modinfo uvcvideo returns the path to the new uvcvideo module? [11:51] Indoctrine: mentally or in relation to ubuntu? [11:51] PeanutHorst: Both. [11:51] mentally: aspergers and psychosis. ubuntu-wise, failure to cleanly boot and start X on powermac3,3 . [11:51] euw3648: i will check, one moment. [11:51] Good job. :P [11:51] delire: ah wait, maybe uvcvideo is one of the restricted modules, so it gets linked at each boot [11:52] Indoctrine: quite. [11:52] euw3648: ahah, that's why it's different in Debian [11:52] euw3648: i wondered if something like this was afoot. [11:52] delire: to get rid of that, you have to edit /etc/default/linux-restricted-modules-common [11:52] Does anyone know how to use a webcam on Ubuntu, My wife wants to be able to see me when we chat together, we been separated for 15 months due to my job... i was wondering if their is a way to see he and her see me on wecams... [11:52] euw3648: just what i was after. thanks a lot. [11:53] NiCK_NaME: there's a lot of help on the ubuntu wiki about this - perhaps telling us what type of webcam you use would allow us to provide more specific help. [11:53] euw3648: do you know if that would be called *before* /etc/rc.local? [11:53] Awww, that's sweet [11:53] delire: yes [11:53] I have a Logitech Quickcam for Notebooks... [11:53] Indoctrine: what is lol [11:53] euw3648: perfect [11:53] delire: the module will simply not be there [11:53] NiCK_NaME [11:53] NiCK_NaME: then your cam is supported by gspca and uvcvideo. [11:53] NiCK_NaME's reason for wanting his cam [11:53] both work well with ubuntu. [11:54] euw3648: great. i'll load in my module in rc.local then, just to be sure (this is for a big museum exhibit, has to work without me around!) [11:54] I recommend using uvcvideo as it's officially (semi) supported by the Logitech Video Engineering team. [11:54] delire: the ubuntu concept of restricted modules is to have them only as .o files on the hard disk and link them to a .ko file which resides in a tmpfs [11:54] PeanutHorst okay. thanks do you know where i can get gspca or uvcvideo ? [11:54] NiCK_NaME: at first....what os is your wife using? [11:54] delire: so the .ko form of the restricted module is never on the hard disk [11:55] euw3648: i see. Debian has no such fanciness. [11:55] My Wife is using Windows Vista [11:55] @ beli [11:55] delire: it's just to clearly distiguish between free und non-free code [11:55] NiCK_NaME: i wish you both luck ;) [11:55] NiCK_NaME: general info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SkypeWebCams specifics: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/uvcvideo [11:55] euw3648: with that explanation in place, it makes sense. [11:56] NiCK_NaME: ok so if you got your webcam working under linux, you need a client software later to communicate...you could use msn for windows vista and amsn for linux as one solution.... [11:56] PeanutHorst: Thanks man, i am sure my wife you bake you cookies for this LOL! [11:56] delire: it's all the hardware manufacturer's fault. i they would give enough info to free driver developers, there wouldn't be any restricted drivers. [11:56] thanks kindly [11:56] delire: *if they [11:57] I wish you every success with your endeavour - webcams are brilliant for keeping relationships alive over a distance [11:57] beli: what do you mean ? [11:57] euw3648: yes, i realise. thankfully in the 10 odd years i've been using Linux, the situation has greatly improved. [11:57] amsn chat cliet works under linux ? [11:57] NiCK_NaME: at first you need your webcam to work with linux............if that is done, you need software to communicate with your wirfe [11:57] delire: well, not for many cheap usb hardware.. [11:57] NiCK_NaME: amsn is a msn clone for linux.....with webcam support [11:57] PeanutHorst: yeah they are... === jscinoz_ is now known as jscinoz [11:58] bele: Thanks alot...

The program I'm using for viewing the linux partitions is Ex2 IFS you can find it here www.fs-driver.org [12:11] hy allz [12:11] through the wine application [12:12] but the windows it appears without text [12:12] only the textfield were you put login id and password [12:12] and no bottons [12:12] anyhow I checked with their website and asked if that was normal or not..and I came across this question which relates to my problem, it's the first question on this page http://www.fs-driver.org/troubleshoot.html [12:12] I wonder how can be record the screen on ubuntu?

[12:17] but im not 100% sure, ext3 is preferd to ext2 but if you dont crash there is no real difference in using ext2 over ext3 [12:18] <[Slug]> time for coffee [12:18] windows should read it, but it doesn't..and it just gives me that stupid non-formatted nonsense..and by the way this is not related to any distro.. [12:18] IamSOG: it may be as it comes with compiz running by default but 7 doesnt [12:18] ext3 has journaling which is a big difference [12:18] ubottu, thx :) [12:18] Sorry, I don't know anything about thx :) [12:18] I've to use my brother's pc to solve this matter [12:18] windows can't read ext3 by default IIRC [12:18] on ms :S [12:18] thanks Rioting_pacifist ... um.. compiz...

[12:34] hey! anyone in here able to help me out with an hplip problem?? [12:34] AwaDoV: ctrl+alt+backspace , it will close all open programs though [12:34] kebomix: Its still concidered advertising. [12:34] I'm having problems with dbus (i think)... I have output from hp-check, hp-setup, hp-firmware etc, but my machine can't seem to see the printer :( [12:34] Pici: ok sry [12:34] Hi, I have a font problem: on Ubuntu 8.04 - Firefox 3 displays just lines instead of text unless I have firefox -> prefs: "allow pages to choose their own font" disabled. can anyone help or suggest alt. irc channel pleasE? [12:34] ubuntu-ir: you could compile it and install it manually but why would you want to do that instead of upgrading [12:35] it's there in lsusb, but localhost:631, system-config-printer & hplip can't see it. [12:35] any offers on how to get there? even just a key phrase/term for google would help. I keep ending up going in circles. === enyc_ is now known as enyc [12:36] Rioting_pacifist : because i connected with dial up and i haven't high speed connection ! [12:36] Is there an Ubuntu specific firefox IRC channel? [12:37] amorphous_: had the same probelm. unplugging and plugin it again worked for me (the new printer detected dialog appeared and system-config-printer) [12:37] bytecode : firefox [12:37] im not sure how to update one package at a time, perhaps going into a graphical update manager may give an easy way to do this though [12:38] ok [12:38] who rigged things so the ppc livecd won't accept noquiet and nosplash as boot parameters? [12:38] i demand they be shot in the nuts. :P [12:38] i can't access [12:38] ubuntu-ir: thank you [12:39] any App. because there is no task bar [12:39] erUSUL, tried it :( had no joy... did you get 'unablr to connect to dbus session' messages when trying to run hp-setup etc? [12:39] ubuntu-ir: you could install firefox3 entirelly manually by downloading it from the firefox website and unpacking to /opt but i wouldnt recomend it [12:39] ubuntu-ir: apt-get install firefox3 should force it to get the latest version. [12:39] AwaDoV: is your deskop running [12:39] amorphous_: nope... just the printer does no show up in lsusb and hplip can not find it either... but cups and other apps do [12:40] ubuntu-ir: If that doesnt work try: sudo apt-get install --reinstall firefox3 [12:40] has anyone managed to make bluetooth headset work with hardy? [12:40] ubuntu-ir: Sorry, the package name is actually 'firefox-3.0' [12:40] I'm trying to do a dist-upgrade from feisty to gutsy, and apt-get wants to remove the current kernel and the modules directory for it.. anyone experienced that before? [12:40] erUSUL, Hmmm... my printer doesn't show in cups or hplip, but Does show in lsusb. *Grrr~* [12:41] Any clue if the beta release for 8.10 has better wireless support than 8.04? [12:41] ?? [12:41] konner: well it should... newer kernel and driver → better support... [12:42] thats good :D [12:42] Rioting_pacifist : i copid it to /opt but when i run firefox with gnome applet fire fox 3 b 5 rund! [12:42] konner, its a beta1 i wouldnt try it tbh, it will depend on the card stuff like atheros may actually be workse [12:42] I have a linksys WMP54GS and it worked with 7.10 but when i used 8.04 my wireless didnt work. [12:42] ubuntu-ir: ypu have to modify the path of the binary that the icon launch [12:43] konner: broadcom? [12:43] yeah. [12:43] how can I run a check of my hard disk on command line? [12:43] I usually use Ndiswrapper and it didnt seem to work on hardy. [12:43] ubuntu-ir: well if your gonig to do a manual install the program is launched by running /opt/firefox/firefox instead of firefox, if you want to cheat (and its probably not a good idea) you can link /usr/bin/firefox to /opt/firefox/firefox [12:45] In my experience with broadcom, distro updates are hit and miss, so dont hold your breath for it to work well in 8.10 unless theres been a recent developement in the drivers [12:45] bonjour tout le monde [12:46] !fr | moza [12:46] moza: Ce canal est en anglais uniquement.

[12:46] whats the recommended amount of ram for a system using ubuntu for multimedia, running two database servers for development , apache/php and tomcat ? [12:46] liza0_: depends on the size of the databases [12:46] how many hits [12:47] what sort of multi-media your using [12:47] :say the databases won't consume no more than 3G . [12:47] liza0_: how many hits is the webserver getting, how many threads open to the database ? [12:47] mulimedia such as playing and encoding video and audio [12:48] ikonia:maximum of around 3 clients since it is a development machine [12:48] liza0_: for the media - the more the better, faster, you can do it on 256 of ram, but you'll be quicker with 8gig, so thats just a speed thing [12:48] liza0_: 1 gig should see you safe and reasonably quick [12:48] obviously the more the better [12:49] i was thinking of 4G and i thought that may be an over kil in linux [12:49] liza0_: I'm just encoding now on a machine with 8 gig, makes a good difference especially for threaded encoding [12:49] adeko [12:49] liza0_: 1 gig is "safe and nippy" 1gig + more = better [12:49] hi all, i wish to use rsync to copy files from my computer to another local area network computer, what bash do i write?

[12:51] ahh old card, may not be supported [12:51] yes [12:51] or even a new one [12:51] !resetpanel | AwaDoV [12:51] AwaDoV: To reset the panel to defaults, type this in a !terminal: « gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel » [12:51] tzolkin: check the card version against supported compiz cards, then look at the drivers your using [12:52] hi, is there a cmdline program which shows how much bandwidth an app uses? [12:52] tzolkin: ntop may be helpful [12:52] hi, is it possible to view a web site in the terminal without the need for web browser?

[13:15] is there any way to find out exactly how much video ram I have? [13:15] would you please give me a good repository , so that i can find the pk [13:16] Aslate: well forcing may cause data loss according to the man page. Did you try to use ntfsfix? [13:16] Ontolog, sysinfo should tell you [13:16] Aslate: you need the mount it to an existing directory e.g mkdir /media/windows then sudo mount /dev/sdaN /media/windows [13:16] Aslate: for example... also you can try ntfsfix from ntfsprogs to avoid forcing [13:16] maek: what's "pk"?

[13:51] I have a screen grab and I will show you [13:51] Hondo_Kitsune: [13:51] Hondo_Kitsune: ok [13:51] jim_p: well, it's not cause it cannot recognize my drive :S === fReAkY[t] is now known as freaky[t] [13:51] vydd: what mobo is it on? or sata controller? [13:51] I just need to find a place to upload it [13:51] does anybody know how to configure the font on the startmenu? sorry, I'm kinda noobie ;) [13:52] jim_p: gigabyte ep43-s3l [13:52] alguien de España ? [13:53] Nautilus: System > Preferences > Appearance > Fonts > Desktop font (I'm guessing) [13:53] kk, thx... I will try that [13:53] there is a clever trick you can do with qtparted to force the drive into view [13:53] !es [13:53] En la mayoría de canales Ubuntu se comunica en inglés. Para ayuda en Español, por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es o #kubuntu-es. [13:53] Nautilus: that font depends on the theme you use and it is somewhere inside ~/.themes/themename/gtk-2.0/gtkrc [13:54] thx jim_p [13:54] nice 1TB fat32 partition [13:54] ok thank u, very much ! ubottu [13:54] vydd: its a p43 board? i think you will need a distro with kernel 2.6.25 MINIMUM. ubuntu 8.04 is on 2.6.24 and 8.10 will be on 2.6.27 [13:55] is there a download app that will allow me to schedule a download? [13:55] jim_p: Actually, no. It's where I said, but it's the Application font, not the Desktop font [13:55] X-Seti: like view it like gparted shows it? [13:55] Nautilus: So make that Application font at the end [13:55] kk [13:55] i find qtparted better then qparted [13:55] less permissions needed to do more [13:55] zetheroo-ubuntu: d4x? [13:56] jim_p: i guess, an Ep43...it is the successor of p43 [13:56] yeah, it worked ;) thx again [13:56] can any one suggest me how to disconnect memory card, i have connected it using card reader through USB port????? [13:56] jim_p, do you know anything about gnome-panel? [13:56] jim_p : is it in the repos? [13:56] indian_munnda_: Right click on the icon on the desktop and go to 'unmount' or 'eject' [13:56] vydd: yes. 2.6.24 kernel stops at the p35 and x38. possibly includes x48 but i am not sure [13:56] i'm getting a whites screen after login, what should i do? [13:56] got alittle a problem starting Gnome-panel, it will pop up and die from restart, running it from the shell, I get Segmentation fault, ive tried reinstalling this, but it doesnt seem to help? [13:56] jim_p: http://i126.photobucket.com/albums/p105/Tails_193/Screenshot-1.png [13:57] zetheroo-ubuntu: yes. it may have the name downlaoder for X [13:57] jim_p: ah. thanks...guess I'll have to find some other stable distro :S [13:57] Pici: i have unmounted it already but there is not option to eject it out. [13:57] anybody have notes [13:57] Then you can just take it out if its unmounted. [13:57] indian_munnda_: once it is unmounted, just disconnect it [13:57] X-Seti: have you tried creating a fresh account and seeing if it behaves there? that'd narrow down whether it's user config or somethign deeper [13:58] Hondo_Kitsune: this doesnt mean it is in the default ubuntu repos. you may have used an extra repo or a .deb downloaded locally!!! === AliTarihi is now known as AliTarihi|away [13:58] Hondo_Kitsune: thanks [13:58] Pici: thank to you too [13:58] My internet connection is not working on Ubuntu [13:58] soneil, if you create another account you loss all admin access, you cant unlock anything anymore, unless I readd myself to the suders list [13:58] I am able to do ALL but browsing the internet. [13:58] any clue? [13:59] X-Seti: you shouldn't need it for sudo, just long enough to see if the same problem persists [13:59] mohsi1: you cant... view pages with ff for instance? [13:59] jim_p: yes exact [13:59] jim_p: It is in the repos. I do not have a 3rd party parallels repo [13:59] seneil if the problem is still here, that i think it might be [14:00] Also, i tried the Deb package from the site, but it gave me the same error [14:00] soneil, what next? [14:00] Hondo_Kitsune: well in wich one? i can show you in the same way that i have wbar installed but it is not in any repo [14:00] jim_p: yes exactly I am not able to view pages via ff etc. [14:00] Jim_p: http://i126.photobucket.com/albums/p105/Tails_193/Screenshot-2.png [14:00] mohsi1: then some firewall setting or ff setting may be faulty [14:01] jim_p: Sometimes I am able to browse the internet sometimes not. How do I check firewall settings? [14:01] Hondo_Kitsune: let me check ppa.launcpad.net repo [14:01] mohsi1: use firestarter (a gui program to configure the firewall) and check ff for proxy settings and such [14:02] jim_p: ok I try it and come to you later [14:03] jim_p: http://i126.photobucket.com/albums/p105/Tails_193/Screenshot-3.png [14:04] That is the parallels error [14:04] and before you say it, i have run parallels-config, repeatedly to no avail [14:04] im looking at a CLI, i just typed man bing, im at the end of the document and it says END, no matter what key i press I cannot get back to the cl were I can type something, how do i get out of the manual without closing down the CLI window [14:05] Does anyone have any experience with a webcam that can give me a bit of info?

[15:34] joerack: you can edit your /etc/shadow file to an empty password. then you can just hit return at the prompt. have fun with that... [15:34] mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sda1, [15:34] missing codepage or helper program, or other error [15:35] amenado - it's the ip address for google. I don't understand how to find out the address of a nameserver (sorry :( [15:35] travis______: :| [15:35] * amorphous_ feels pretty useless [15:36] travis______: sudo apt-get install ntfs-config [15:36] how would i go about trying to find the fastest open port on my university's network? [15:36] amorphous_-> you have to ask your ISP about which name server you are allowed to use for official purpose [15:36] hi... can you tell me how to indtall LXDE? [15:36] it's installed yet [15:36] when i do apt-get install ntfs-3g i get http://paste.php.lv/8094 [15:36] what's the risk [15:37] lliw00: what does that even mean? [15:37] amenado, but does this not usually get given when you connect? all other machines have the nameserver given automatically... why this one different? [15:37] eregi: check your repos. [15:38] I need some help with efax, mainly installing a printer to print to efax. In Admin>Printering New Printer and most options are disabled. [15:38] amorphous_-> thats because you reconfigured your router/dhcp server to dole out the wrong one? [15:38] Anyone know how I can find a hard-drive thats not showing up? seems like its not in my /media/ anymore [15:38] So actualy its ubuntu and not efax, cause thats working fine. [15:39] GreedyB, does this command fdisk -l list it? [15:39] GreedyB-> if not showing up, is it even mounted? sudo fdisk -l [15:39] it's only been reconfigured for port forward ssh, that's the only thing that's been touched... i think... [15:40] travis______: instead of "fuseblk" type "ntfs-3g" on your fstab [15:40] amenado, --apologies for stress. [15:40] i have a vt6120 network card that looks ok, but i cant ping any host or get an ip from dhcp with it.. any help? [15:41] Pretto: does it spits any usefull arror msg? or something or it simply silently fails? [15:41] amorphous_-> i can relate to stress...just keep on going [15:41] how [15:41] erUSUL, not a single error message... [15:41] ? [15:41] amenado, the problem is intermitant with the dns thing. would that make sense if it was a router setting - also all others on the network are having no probs [15:42] Pretto: so when you say "looks ok"... [15:42] Is it possible to run an Ubuntu web server in virtualbox on Windows host and then acces the virtual server from the host windows browser [15:42] travis______: "gksudo gedit /etc/fstab" [15:42] eregi: ntfs-3g is already installed on the hardy livecd [15:42] erUSUL, looks ok, but it is not ok since i cant communicate to the network [15:42] eregi: you don't need to install it [15:42] Pretto: and can you assing a static ip (no dhcp) [15:43] erUSUL, yes.. but no communication [15:43] amorphous_-> being intermittent anything at anytime can happen, when you are using the other host, you were not observing at that moment? [15:43] All of the sudden, my ubuntu broke. It says 'kinit: No resume image, doing normal boot..' and thats it. It wont load any xserver, and I'm just in a shell.. how to start normally again? It starts with 'startx', but it wont do so automaticly. [15:43] erUSUL, and firewall is disable :D [15:43] ethtool shows that the link is ok too === idefix is now known as Guest689 [15:45] amenado, I think its /dev/sdc1 [15:45] amenado, it's been going on for days & a few people here are using wireless most of the time. they never have a problem. This machine is only very infrequently online. can't go with that :P [15:45] amorphous_-> they all point to the same name server? [15:46] GreedyB-> you are not sure? its a usb drive? [15:46] i think so. they're all m$oft. not sure. good point though. i'll check. [15:47] amenado, Well it always shows up as Backup but I never really took notice of what the official path is [15:47] erUSUL, the via-rhine module was loaded ok, i have the interface on, but i can't connect to network [15:47] GreedyB-> verify with what shows up in the results of mount command and fdisk -l [15:47] hi folks [15:48] Pretto: seems like that card are somewhat buggy ... [15:48] erUSUL, but it works on another OS [15:48] amenado, yes thats why I think its /dev/sdc1 [15:48] in synaptic, what's the difference between complete removal and removal? [15:48] I discussed this before, but didn't get around to doing it and making a decision. Will I get pretty much all of desktop functionality if I install server? Or is there another full package to install? [15:49] Pretto: i was reffering to the combo of the card and linux drivers ... [15:49] hey does anyone know of a good file hosting website. I have a group project in one of my classes and i want to be able to upload and download the file so we can all work on it remotely [15:49] GreedyB-> what does your mount results show? where is /dev/sdc1 mounted to? [15:49] jxander: complete removal removes configuration files too [15:49] hi, how do you mount an iso file with the mount command? just mount ? [15:49] <^paradox^> ok im still working on sharing our printer over our network [15:49] erUSUL: thanks :D [15:49] bonk: add "-o loop" [15:50] bonk: sudo mount -t auto -o loop file.iso /mount/point [15:50] bonk: # mount -o loop disk1.iso /mnt/disk [15:50] <^paradox^> ust as a refresher im trying to share the printer an hp psc 1110 over a network with two computers. the computer the printers hooked up to is a windows vista home pc. im trying to share it to this pc running ubuntu 8.04. [15:50] !iso > bonk [15:50] bonk, please see my private message [15:50] bonk: You should be able to do "mount /media/ [15:50] can anyone help with preventing downloads from overloading my net connection and causing jabber connections to drop and new web connections to fail? [15:50] <^paradox^> ive installed samba, samba-common, smbfs. ive configured it and set the vista pc to share files and printers. the printer receives test pages sent to it but doesnt print them. they show up in the job list saying spooling and the printer physically tries to print them, but to no effect. [15:50] hey does anyone know of a good file hosting website. I have a group project in one of my classes and i want to be able to upload and download the file so we can all work on it remotely [15:50] <^paradox^> i also installed hplip-2.8.9 [15:50] cool, thanks [15:50] MrPeepers310: how large is the file? [15:50] Quick Question - I have a directory on mt desktop with a selection of mp4's and wma's in it. I want to use the terminal to delete the .wma files and leave the mp3's. [15:50] MrPeepers310-> setup one at your home pc ? [15:51] Pseudomocha: under a 500 mbs [15:51] amenado, is there a comunal dns that anyone can point to? [15:51] Woops, files are all wma' and mp3's, no mp4's [15:51] amenado, not quite sure how to find where its mounted to... I thought that since its not mounted it wont show up? [15:51] amenado: good suggestion but that would take too much effort for such a small program [15:51] amorphous_: Like opendns.com ? [15:51] All of the sudden, my ubuntu broke. It says 'kinit: No resume image, doing normal boot..' and thats it. It wont load any xserver, and I'm just in a shell.. how to start normally again? It starts with 'startx', but it wont do so automaticly. [15:51] <^paradox^> this is a pastebin of all the steps ive taken trying to configure the printer http://rafb.net/p/EADtgD99.html [15:51] Fat: rm *.wma [15:51] amorphous_-> why not just ask your ISP? [15:51] hmmm [15:52] erUSUL: Thanks! [15:52] MattJ, ta :) [15:52] is there a way to just display text in the terminal, not like a command or anything, but more like a echo or something like that? does anyone know what I am talking about?

[15:52] doumo: echo foo ? [15:52] mattj maybe? i will try, thanks [15:52] oh so ubuntu take hda as sda... [15:52] amenado: because when one person updates the file we would all have to get copies again [15:52] How do you install a .deb file [15:52] hi evrybody! i have a small problem which probably can be solved in a sec: everytime i copy sth from my usb-hdd, konqueror(or dolphin) informs me that he's unable to change the mode (or "rights", im not sure about the term cause i use german version)of the copied files... this is really annoying and i cant find out how to turn it off! pllzzz help ;D [15:52] doumo: you can cat the file "cat file.txt" or use a pager "less file.txt" [15:53] GreedyB-> i asked you to verify with mount, and fdisk -l , what lines do not compare? can you pste the results of both in pastebin ? [15:53] spiritssight: Double-click it, or in Terminal: dpkg -i filename.deb [15:53] <^paradox^> after running hp-check it gave me one error. it said i had no version of SIP [15:53] amenado, it's complicated... and political. The suppliers have been really difficult and I dont know who the isp is :( is there a way to find out rather than having to ring the guys that installed it? from the address..?

When I try to access the dir3ectory on the desktop with the terminal [15:53] is there a utility that will let me edit tags for wma files? [15:53] erUSUL: thanks, i think that worked :D [15:53] MrPeepers310-> then go ahead and setup one at your home, it shouldnt be that difficult eh? you must do what it takes === linus is now known as msh [15:54] buenas [15:54] After I install server, is there a whole package for the rest of the desktop? [15:54] amenado: there has to be a website that i can host the file [15:54] amorphous_: why not just use opendns ? [15:54] <^paradox^> as far as getting SIP is SIP4 all i need or do i need anything else? [15:54] amenado: i mean google has google docs === pipeman_ is now known as pipeman [15:54] which is better to install .rpm or .deb for adobe reader [15:54] amorphous_-> political? are you swiping off of someone else services? just ask for permision and bring a pizza box over when you're asking..hehe [15:54] johnfg: yeah, i think ubuntu-desktop will have what you want [15:54] has anyone here tried updating or downloading a large file on a 2mbit connection? [15:55] mrpeepers310 cool thx ill try that [15:55] spiritssight: assuming you are using ubuntu, then .deb [15:55] amenado, I was just in Natalius and clicked on where it should be and it worked but just a couple minutes ago going to that location through terminal did not exist... [15:55] erUSUL, am sorting it now - thanks [15:55] MrPeepers310-> yeah try google, make your file as docs? [15:55] yes I am using ubuntu, why can we not install from add/remove yet [15:55] or can we [15:55] Woops Again, start over... When I try to access a directory on my desktop from terminal with "cd /1961" it responds that the directory does not exist, any ideas? [15:55] GreedyB-> i did not ask about nautilus, use the command line to print what i asked..then i can help you [15:55] amenado: well it has binary stuff as well, it's a vb file [15:56] spiritssight: it might be unstable, might not work properly with your release, there are many reasons [15:56] Thanks [15:56] spiritssight: but the .deb file will probably work [15:56] MrPeepers310-> what your looking for is something like a svn or version control system, set up one yourself, its not that overly difficult [15:56] Fat: /1961 refer not to your desktop but to a folder on the root / folder [15:56] Fat: / is the root of your filesystem. you'd need to cd Desktop/1961 or cd /home/youruser/Desktop/1961 [15:56] <^paradox^> is SIP4 all i need or do also need any dev packages etc?

[16:55] hello [16:55] cosmodad, errm, see if apt-get does this any better - aptitude can be a little more aggresive at tiomes [16:55] unop: awsome it worked. thank [16:55] anybody listening to me?? [16:55] eregi: you'd have solved the problem already if you had read that link back when i first gave it [16:55] enriaf: Hmm, then I think you're just going to have to chalk it up as a hardware failure. [16:55] sledge, so you need to change all src attributes to point to images at URL relative to where the page is at [16:56] unop: ok apt-get seems to do the job.

[17:57] brincade: you must install vbox additions on the guest os [17:57] georgeaf: xargs is a command to use stuff's output as parameters for a command (in this case, the stuff is all your installed packages) [17:57] brincade: and use left ctrl to release it [17:57] hum [17:57] i have used right control, but mouse is not captured [17:57] <_Ratchet> haqe43, I'm like totally new to ubuntu and don't know hardy anything. I got some help and found my bcmwl5 broadcom driver though, and don't know the next step [17:57] georgeaf: and apt-get --reinstall --download-only install will download packages into /var/cache without installing them [17:57] [18:57] brincade: you must install vbox additions on the guest os <--- i will try it [17:57] hi, which is the default password for the administrator when i just install ubuntu [17:57] ?

[17:58] LjL: what i meant is i want to MAKE them again, not download them. Because I don't have a very good connection here. I used to. Will dpkg-repackage work ? [17:58] <[Solars]> eolo999 to run things as root you use the sudo command [17:58] eolo999: it is the password you gave when you installed ubuntu [17:58] LjL: google it [17:58] !root > eolo999 [17:58] eolo999, please see my private message [17:59] !root [17:59] Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password.

[18:04] [T]ank, have you set the type of display you have? [18:04] deathtech: i am 99% sure that this is it [18:04] haqe43 can you link to it for him please, he is very new [18:04] l3d: Youd need to set $DISPLAY= to whatever it is normally inside of xorg. === Linwood_ is now known as Adrian [18:04] l3d: echo $DISPLAY should tell you [18:05] how can I burn a blu-ray data disk in ubuntu?

It took about 2 hours to download the packages and about 1 and a half to install them... It was very annoying because every 5 minutes it promted me if i wanted to keep my configuration files or to rewrite them... the thing is... the whole proccess froze behind... I couldnt leave it unnatended... I had to check every 10 mins or so to see [18:05] what was going on... cant it just keep updating and promt me for everything at the end? [18:05] <[T]ank> socal: the nvidia-settings is where I do this usually. had no problem before i tried to upgrade the driver :-( [18:05] since im remoted into my nix machine however, i wont be able to drop back into linux as i cant modify the bootloader from within windows, that i know of, anyone have any idea if that can be done ? would be nice to remotely be able to control which OS grub picks at boot [18:05] hi, my sound isnt working, can someone help ? [18:06] gonzaloaf_laptop: either with samba or nfs, depends on the other pcs on your network and their os [18:06] hi, does the 2.6.27-4-generic kernel include the patch to make the NVM read-only on e1000 cards ? and why doesn't my ethernet card on my X61s work with that kernel ? [18:06] LJL are you still here? I'm back [18:06] Novell: the 2.6.27 is on ibex, so ask on #ubuntu+1 [18:06] jim_p, samba [18:06] soundd: i may sing real loud if it helps :/ [18:06] Does exist any way to make applications do not control the mouse?

[18:07] infact i have laptop and i buy a dvice with sim it called usb flash modem so i want to use my laptop from anywhere with the device i said above [18:07] [T]ank, I would just grab the driver from Nvidia and install that instead. http://www.nvidia.com/Download/index.aspx?lang=en-us [18:07] gonzaloaf_laptop: and install SWAT to manage the samba from another pc [18:07] infact i have laptop and i buy a device with sim it called usb flash modem so i want to use my laptop from anywhere with the device i said above [18:07] <[T]ank> socal: thats what caused this whole issue [18:07] Does exist any way to make applications not to control the mouse? [18:08] froosch: it just might... seriously i'm getting tired of fixing hardware issues on each and every computer i install ubuntu on [18:08] soundd: what's the exact problem? [18:09] venome, applications look as if they use sound, but i hear nothing [18:09] i'm trying to connect to a wpa network after a fresh install and it can't connect. i'm entering the right pass [18:09] soundd: what version and type of ubuntu do you use? [18:10] venome: ubuntu hardy [18:10] soundd: have you checked system => preferences => sound ? [18:10] gonzaloaf_laptop: do you have a samba.conf file? [18:11] venome: yes there everything seems normal [18:11] soundd: you are most likely running pulseaudio, so try to install some gui tools for pulseaudio diagnostics [18:11] venome: intel ICH5 [18:11] how can I burn a blu-ray _data_ disk in ubuntu? [18:11] venome: can you elaborate? what pulseaudio tools do i need ? [18:12] soundd: perhaps first check the volume levels [18:12] hmmm [18:12] gonzaloaf_laptop: the file is /etc/samba/smb.conf [18:12] hi all [18:12] venome: i checked in alsamixer, tried every possible combination/setting, all volumes full blow [18:12] _Ratchet: personally I have found it much easier to get the hardware to suit the software. If you encounter multiple problems with ndiswrapper, consider getting a card that is supprted natively by linux. There is a list here : https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/WirelessCardsSupported [18:13] soundd: :) well... are your speakers online? :) [18:13] could i get on my server without ssh? [18:13] console? [18:13] sftp? [18:13] yes [18:13] Matt: telnet? [18:13] vnc?

[18:14] i try [18:14] ... [18:14] is there a way to install the Infrastructure client for EXSi in ubuntu somehow? [18:14] Hi! can I use luks/cryptsetup on a laptop without breaking suspend/hibernate ? [18:14] soundd: yep, green is the correct one [18:14] i need recomendation of some usb wireless card.. i need one that have full support [18:14] openoffice [18:14] wolson_: can you show me its site please? [18:14] where i could know this?

[18:15] ah nm I found a console version [18:15] does anyone know of an easy way to reinstall a destroyed home folder? [18:15] wolson_: yea. its source code, download package anything. i dont know how it looks [18:15] soundd: and perhaps pulseaudio volume meter (that should give you some info on whether or not the playback is running) [18:16] [T]ank, what video card are you running? [18:16] sfears_: what you mean destroyed? [18:16] gonzaloaf_laptop: are you there? [18:16] jim_p EXSi is awesome. And it's free. Google vmware and check out the link at the upper right [18:16] venome: it looks like its not running, it shows a speaker with a red cross through it [18:16] wolson_, sorry ssh: connect to host intra.szonet.de port 22: Connection refuse so much about sftp [18:17] wolson_: still no exsi [18:17] venome: which tool and where? [18:17] sfears_: sudo mkdir /home/sfears might be what you want [18:17] matthias : sftp uses port 23, not 22 correct ? [18:17] i need serious help please, after a hibernate my CPU fan wont work propperly sometimes [18:17] soundd: which tool and where? [18:18] venome: pulseaudio Volume Control [18:18] venome: /output devices [18:18] venome: oh sorry thats just the mute audio button [18:18] can someone help me with a read-only file system problem which is keeping my system from starting? [18:18] soundd: yep, that's just mute [18:18] accidentally selected the high contrat theme and font, changed theme back to human but how can i set the font and size back to default? [18:19] *contrast [18:19] soundd: but its ok that your device is there ... is the volume high? [18:19] if i dont get this fan working right i will need to go back to vista :( [18:19] deathtech, correct [18:19] venome: yes full [18:19] soundd: try running the pulseaudio device chooser [18:19] mikeypizano: sounds like a hardware problem [18:19] soundd: it should add another icon to your taskbar [18:19] it was working fine on vista haqe43 [18:19] the scroller in my bluetooth mouse doesn't work [18:20] Pici iw as wondering where i would fit in the $DISPLAY= [18:20] what should i do? [18:20] soundd: yes its already running, thats where i see Volume Control, Manager, etc... [18:20] mike1504: if your system is mounting some filesystem read only is becouse it found serious errors on them so for safety it mounts them ro. Proceed with caution [18:20] soundd: and there, open the "volume meter(playback)" [18:20] soundd: and run some audio, check if the bars in the meter are moving [18:20] mikeypizano: what doesn't sometimes work properly about it? [18:20] after a hibernate, sometimes it wont turn on [18:21] venome: yes meters go [18:21] can someone tell me waht the default human ubuntu font sozes are.. and what the default fonts are [18:21] l3d: I'm not sure if you can put that before your command in crontab like you would normally, but you probably can put it into a script and then call the script from crontab [18:21] can someone just have a quick look for me? [18:21] soundd: so it must be in the way your speakers are connected [18:22] i quit guys [18:22] soundd: (this means that the sound definately leaves one of the ports of your sound card) [18:22] see you tomorrow [18:22] i have bluetooth and nokia 6230i, how to connect to internet via gprs? i have no internet connection right now [18:22] erusul I had a problem in terminal wednesday. it refused to allow me to chown or chmod some files. I shut it down thinking it might resolve the problem. The drive is fairly new and has not been hard started what should I do. I'd like to get it up and running again. I currently have a live cd up on the system [18:22] can someone tell me what the default human ubuntu font sizes are.. and what the default fonts are [18:23] can someone just have a quick look for me? [18:23] venome, i connect a headphone directly to the green output, and still absolute silence! [18:23] wolson_, it doesn't success: sftp -oPort=23 ?? [18:23] jim_p, yes [18:23] mike1504: what is the fielsystem mounting read only? the ubuntu partition ?

[18:24] mikeypizano: no idea, sorry [18:24] gonzaloaf_laptop: it is in greek, but you will undersant what it says in the code boxes [18:24] ok haqe43 [18:24] I assume that. I don't know that it is read only on the live cd I really haven't tried writing to it that way [18:24] gonzaloaf_laptop: ok? [18:24] Kenono, what about fixed width font? [18:24] soundd: well, I'm out of ideas ... afaik when the meters are running ,the playback is all right [18:25] when i install a program with apt-get install, and then edit the start menu parameters, then i apt-get purge, then i have to remove the start menu my self, however when i install the program agian it doesnt make the menu item .. bug ? or how to fix this [18:25] venome: aah SOLVED! apparently there is yet another output, that one works :D thanks ! [18:25] mike1504: then you will have to check that partition looking for errors ... [18:25] soundd: ok :) no problem :) [18:25] afk ... [18:25] can you give instruction how to do so? [18:25] bye [18:25] gone! [18:25] @csilk I believe it's monospace 10 [18:26] ok, i downloaded this command-line program from an apt repo, and a frontend to go with it, but the frontend is asking me for the path to the program's executable. what default install path does apt-get use? [18:26] thanks Kenono . my sanity is restored, and thats also cause for a new bug report [18:26] No worries csilk :) [18:27] !xwinwrap [18:27] Sorry, I don't know anything about xwinwrap [18:27] erUSU what should I do to check for errors? can it be done via the live cd or thru a program on start? [18:28] mike1504: run "sudo e2fsck -fnv /dev/sdxx" where you have to put the correct values for xx /dev/sda3 or whatever it is [18:28] is it possible to get a screen saver playing for your desktop while having compiz enabled? [18:29] mike1504: that will check the filesystem but without doing nothing to it (it will not try to repair it) [18:29] cube, "screensaver playing"?

[18:40] can somebody tell me how I can make it wok in moc please? [18:40] to risky, just need the xorg package for my intel-videocard [18:40] I tried to reboot my ubuntu server by ssh terminal, I received the console message, but OS no start reboot process.. anyone have any idea for this problem?? [18:41] downgrading isnt safe [18:41] x2o: I mean, you can always download the packages manually, and install them, and see what happens. But if anything breaks, or doesn't work, people may just tell you to reinstall [18:41] I have dbus issues and i cant make much sense out of this gnome bug (which seems to be at the root of all my problems (at least I hope it is - it's taken ages to fing something that could be!)

[19:50] DSpair: well you could just sudo apititude download gimp [19:50] sweetgum1, gksu gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst [19:50] DSpair: and it would download the debs. [19:50] DSpair: or there is packages.ubuntu.com [19:50] histo, No, you cannot. The 2.6.0 source code is not in the repository yet. [19:50] mgolisch, look at real_root kernel param(just guessing here) [19:50] hi im her [19:50] thats it, windows is going back in...................................................... [19:50] DSpair: Well then you need to change your question. [19:51] shepherd, see you again some time [19:51] i still have ubuntu on my labtop [19:51] DSpair: you asked where you can get the debs for gimp. IF you want a up to date release you can try getdeb.net [19:51] becuase i dont need my labtop to do useful things [19:52] #chemistry [19:53] Under Session Options I checked Automatically remember running... I have unchecked that but it is still opening programs that I have since then unchecked from the startup list. How do I make it forget about what it has previously saved? [19:53] where does ubuntu put the jdk? [19:53] Hello, I just installed 8.04 and according to the hardware drivers, I have enabled the restricted NVidia driver. However, I cannot get enhanced desktop effects to enable, what do I do? [19:53] wich path? [19:53] which* [19:53] adv, /usr/lib/jvm [19:54] geirha: sorry to return to this - the files weren't 700mb, but 1.3gb and 2.2gb respectively. the 1.3gb copied successfully via samba to a fat32 volume, but not the 2.2gb (although that did copy to an ext3 share), so it would seem samba + files >2gb + fat32 ain't a good combo [19:55] q [19:55] exit [19:56] mike1504: sorry was away for a moment... should long more or less like the first check afaics [19:57] Hi. Does anyone here know how to use xsendkeys? All the docs simply say "xsendkeys a" will send "a" to X. But, I'm trying "sleep 3; xsendkeys a" in a bash window then switching focus to an editor, and the "a" never shows up. Do I miss understand? [19:57] an someone help me? i used sudo vigr, then accidentally changed sudo to sudo asfasfdsudo then pressed ctrl+z, now when i run sudo vigr, it stalls for about 5 seconds then displays these error messages: "vigr: Couldn't lock file: Interrupted system call" "vigr: /etc/group is unchanged". Then i tried to add a user with gpassword and it displayed the same error [19:58] hi [19:58] hi i enabled the hardware acceleration for my ATI video card and now i get a blank image after reboot, how do i fix this ? [19:58] can someone tell me can nm-applet work with ndiswrapper drivers? [19:59] tim167: Do you mean, how do you remove the acceleration you added? [19:59] Question: I'm running Hardy. I need to run Windows virtually so that I can use the Zune software. Drag and Drop between OS's would be really nice, but not required. What's the best Virtual program for this? [19:59] !virtualizers [19:59] There are several solutions for running other operating systems (or their programs) inside Ubuntu, while using the native CPU as much as possible: !QEmu (with !KQemu), !VirtualBox, !VMWare, as well as !WINE and !Cedega for Windows applications [20:00] codazoda: preferably how to make accel work, but if not how to remove yes [20:00] anyone? [20:00] tim167: For example, pressing ALT-F1 will get you to a text console where you could undo the damage, then reboot. [20:00] Astral_Projectio: if you think you can fly you better not try [20:00] codazoda: yes i am poking in xorg.conf, but not sure what to change it to [20:01] I know my choices erUSUL, but thank you. I want the best one for a simple task. I've used VMware plenty of times. Is that the easiest setup? [20:01] test: somehow an irony in that your nick is 'test' [20:01] <_Guma> I just booted into LiveCD 8.10 Beta and my second card driving third monitor is not working. I see it in dmsg. But I can't enable the third display. Both cards are ATI Radion HD3650 [20:01] sotec_prod: then stick with vmware if you know it [20:01] tim167: OK. I have no tips for actually getting it to work. I use nvidia. [20:01] <_Guma> Any one has idea about how to fix this [20:01] _Guma: Please join #ubuntu+1 for Intrepid/8.10 support/discussion. [20:01] No idea's on how to use xsendkeys? [20:01] Astral_Projectio, Yes, nm-applet can handle ndis-wrapper drivers. Once the ndis-wrapper drivers are loaded, it appears to be a standard network adapter and all Ubuntu programs will deal with it as such. [20:02] codazoda, I've tried a number of times with no luck. [20:02] DSpair, but it wont search my wireless networks [20:02] im connected on wlan right now with ndiswrapper but nm-applet wont scan [20:02] DSpair: Interesting. Me too. Odd that the docs just kinda seem like what I want, but nothing happens. Maybe I'll email the author and hope for the best.... [20:02] Astral_Projectio, Hmmm . . . Is your user a member of the proper groups for access to the network manager? [20:02] Astral_Projectio: have you 'ifconfig up'? [20:03] Astral_Projectio, do a rmmod ndiswrapper, 'dmesg', then modprobe ndiswrapper and 'dmesg' see if any errors are popping out [20:03] delire, is that equivallent to ifup? [20:03] last time i had download the medwifi but it doesn't work how do i do? [20:04] is it safe to upgrade to the new beta thingumy? [20:04] Got Java and flash working on 64bit 8.10 :) works Great [20:04] Astral_Projectio: i believe so, though i've never used either, preferring ifconfig and dhclient [20:04] Astral_Projectio, Not exactly. ifup is a special wrapper script. ifconfig actually talks directly to the kernel. [20:04] very nice work on the Build and thanks for it :) [20:05] oi uillas [20:05] i did ifconfig wlan0 up [20:05] but nothing happens [20:05] oi pate [20:05] gotta go now talk to u later [20:05] thanks anyway [20:05] is it possible to pass an array of arguments to a function expecting for example 3 args?

[21:27] well I hope he didn't format his primary... === niwa is now known as rocka4him [21:27] codepad not paste bin please :D [21:27] MetalNate: whats in that folder now? [21:27] one second [21:27] two main folders libs and docs [21:27] Wouldn't dd have overwritten partition schemes and everything on the entire disk [21:27] Oxygenfa1: sudo apt-get install gpart ; sudo gpart -b ~/mbr_backup -W /dev/sda /dev/sda [21:27] Oxygenfa1: assuming sda is the involved drive [21:28] usser: oh and with shred i think u can configure it to do as many passes as you want not just 2 :D [21:28] I didnt try grub-install install yet. How do I use this ? I'm sorry guys Im new [21:28] grub-install sda1 ? [21:28] Oxygenfa1, ^^ use LjL suggestion [21:28] how do I have to change this line in fstab: /dev/sda6 /mnt/dev ext3 errors=remount-ro,relatime 0 0 so I can put stuff on that partition as regular user [21:28] MetalNate: whats in that folder now? [21:29] guntbert: two folders lib and docs [21:29] guntbert: lib has a bunch of .jar files [21:29] trying sudo apt-get install gpart ; sudo gpart -b ~/mbr_backup -W /dev/sda /dev/sda , one sec [21:29] exco, you dont have to change anything there, all you need to do is sudo chown $USERNAME:$USERNAME -R /mnt/dev [21:29] MetalNate: no files, just 2 foldere?

[21:32] MetalNate, hehe yes [21:32] thomc: no iptables is not easy. you can use ufw (uncomplicated firewall) for simple command line firewall [21:32] WHat partician do I edit ? [21:32] irc.undernet.org [21:32] thomc: i think real sys admins go for the text based solution [21:33] I'm trying to install Ubuntu 8.04.1 on a Cyrix II (6x86) based computer. Booted with the alternate cd, and during the install I recieved an error because it couldn't install the kernel. What steps are required for me to install a kernel manually from the install environment? [21:33] Oxygenfa1, btw, you cat install remastersys and create a full backup of the system. just in case [21:33] Kl4m: ok I'll try that for now. [21:33] !java | MetalNate [21:33] MetalNate: To install a Java runtime/interpreter on Ubuntu, look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java - For the Sun Java runtime install sun-java6-jre from the !Multiverse repository [21:33] about to install HH on my Vostro 1510 laptop [21:34] can I trust the guided partition resize in the livecd? [21:34] java is not in my synaptic [21:34] moglenstar, what's the exact error message? [21:34] glyph_: Not a bad idea. [21:34] colt 45 and 2 zig-zags baby that's all we need [21:34] So how do I edit this partician now [21:34] MetalNate: yes it is in the repos. See the info from ubottu above. [21:34] MetalNate: What version of Ubuntu are you running? [21:34] Or will I wreck my Vista partition I use for work? :) [21:34] damned Xchat. Crashing all the time under windows [21:34] http://pastebin.com/m4dbaafb [21:34] ok, back to my question [21:34] is there a noticeable difference in time between ssh and telnet using rsync on a 50 meg file? [21:34] Coppershade-org^: usualy it;s ok, i installed today from the live cd with vista and the partitioner went ok [21:34] There wasn't an exact error message, it just told me that it couldn't install a compatible kernel. It's nonsense though, because I know that i386 kernels work fine on this Cyrix II. [21:34] I want to simulate apt-get update without a direct link to the internet [21:35] DreDawgg: no [21:35] Oxygenfa1: when you did grub-install, did you remember sudo? [21:35] momesana: setup a local server [21:35] Coppershade-org^: but that still remains your call, btw be verry carefull when u do this if u do it without a backup [21:35] momesana: apt-get has the "-s" key to simulate what actions it would take. [21:35] Kl4m: thanks [21:35] add your machine to the repo file [21:35] Yes [21:35] momesana: use a CD as sources list [21:35] bobertdos: 8.04.0 [21:35] oops, just ignore me [21:35] momesana: s/as/in [21:35] bobertdos: 8.04.1 [21:35] I can use --print-uris and download the Packages.bz2, Release.gpg etc. files but how do I apply them? [21:35] Can I use qparted ? Do all I want to do is just redo the particians ? [21:36] Oxygenfa1, it's 'Partitions'. D: [21:36] MetalNate: Are all your repositories enabled? [21:36] DreDawgg: ssh is actually better because it has some sort of error correction because of the encryption [21:36] moglenstar, what if the error is not about the kernel, but something else? like, say, no space left on the hard drive? [21:36] use fdisk, gparted isn't for this sort of detailed work. [21:36] bobertdos: im not sure im a bit of a noob [21:36] gligorhoria, using that guided partition resize thingy? [21:36] delire, setting up a local server? [21:36] MetalNate: Go into System->Administration->Software Sources [21:36] gligorhoria: Ok... it deletes now i think. how long does it approx. take? size is about 18GB [21:36] glyph_, it's a 40gb HDD, and I've used it previously for OpenBSD, and Arch linux. Completely wiped/partitioned it for Ubuntu, and I get this problem. [21:37] Oxygenfa1, just how important is this data you have on that thing? [21:37] What I'd like to do is to split up my D: partition into 9 gb Ubuntu + 1 GB swap [21:37] bobertdos: ok, im in software sources [21:37] delire, I should add that I have no ethernet cable here. Only a usb stick. otherwise I would use my windows box (where my dialup modem works as opposed to linux) as a gateway to get the files [21:37] School, papers Im writing, etc [21:37] moglenstar, does LiveCD boots on it? [21:37] does anyone know how to install yum or portage on ubuntu? [21:37] Oxygenfa1: I don't think you want to redo your partitions. An mbr is not partitions. see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Master_boot_record [21:37] http://pastebin.com/m4dbaafb [21:37] MichaelScott, portage??? [21:38] I ran the code you wanted me to. Thats the screen I get. [21:38] momesana: yes... portage as in gentoo portage [21:38] Edit which partition (1..4, q to quit) : [21:38] Oxygenfa1: AFAIK, MBR holds a little grub program [21:38] if it's irreplaceable, you really should consider getting/loaning an external hd and backing up the full disk before doing anything. [21:38] how do I partition D: into swap and another partition for Ubuntu using either Vista or the Livecd? [21:38] Wow, if you need to install yum or portage(!!!) on Ubuntu you should know how already. [21:38] SO I pick partition 1 [21:38] MichaelScott, as a guy who worked with gentoo for six years, I can tell you there is probably zero chance to find portage for ubuntu [21:38] MetalNate: Make sure the first four options under "Downloadable from the Internet" are checked (in that first tab) [21:38] Now what was I suppose to do [21:38] glyph_, I haven't got a normal Ubuntu CD to try. I don't plan to run xorg on this computer, it's too low spec for that. The Cyrix II CPU is 400mhz, 256MB ram. I intend to use it as a local webserver. [21:39] MichaelScott: no. There are ubuntu source repositories, and apt-get source, which provide similar functionality. [21:39] momesana: if you worked with gentoo for six years why the hell would you switch over to ubuntu [21:39] Warning: entered values will not be checked; enter at your own risk! [21:39] 1 - Absolute start sector ( 63) [21:39] 2 - Absolute sector count ( 374796384) [21:39] 3 - Partition type ( 131)(Linux ext2 filesystem) [21:39] Oxygenfa1: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [21:39] bobertdos: yes they are [21:39] moglenstar, that's weird [21:39] flamewar ahead! [21:39] MichaelScott: convenience [21:39] Anybody want to give me some pointers on getting my sound card to work? Creative Soundblaster Live Value, not sure why it's not working [21:39] MichaelScott: there is alien that will (try to) convert a .deb to .rpm... not sure how well that works though... [21:39] MichaelScott, because my harddisc fell down yesterday and my gentoo installation is broken now [21:39] DO I select 1 2 or 3 ?? [21:39] After six years of compiling, I'd be *so* tired of that. [21:39] MichaelScott, I am in Iran right now without a fast dsl connection and all I had left was an ubuntu cd :( [21:39] what happened with the mpg123 program on ubuntu [21:39] partition before Ubuntu install? Vista or LiveCD? help! [21:39] btw: Does anyone have knowledge about sound in Ubuntu? I have WinXP and Ubuntu on my laptop, in Windows sound works perfectly, in Ubuntu even on max volume the output is not more than a whisper... any ideads? [21:40] tritium, I still have gentoo on my laptop. [21:40] it seems it don't longer excists [21:40] glyph_, I can see how the installer would find the CPU problematic, as it's essentially a copy of a Pentium 3. But if I can find out how to go about the "manual kernel install" that the error suggested, I can likely get around this. [21:40] momesana: i feel your pain [21:40] deph, alsamixer [21:40] like it don't excists [21:40] deph: doubleclick on the sound icon (top right) [21:40] MichaelScott: but honestly, if you like a certain package manager, use that distro... :D [21:40] MetalNate: Okay, so go into Synaptic, reload the mirror list, and then search for sun-java6 [21:40] deph: then edit>preferences and turn all devices on [21:40] momesana: that's fine. I was just responding to MichaelScott's mild attack on ubuntu. [21:40] MichaelScott, :'(. My beloved gentoo installation that I had used for six years. all my development tools. KDE3 and KDE4 (selfcompiled) ... everything gone :'( [21:41] deph: check for muted or low volume devices. [21:41] if i switch from a full ubuntu install running gnome to a minimal install running fluxbox, will i experience a significant performance increase and will there be limitations on the apps i can run? [21:41] does anyone knows if you can stil play mp3's on text based? [21:41] bobertdos: ok there are a few packages there [21:41] tritium, compiling the stuff sucks if you do an emerge -u world everyday ( as many gentoo ricers do ) but doing it once a month isn't annoying at all [21:41] thomc: there will not be a limitation to that pps you can run... [21:42] So do I do an absolute sector count ? [21:42] komputes: there's only: volume, line-in, mic, pcm-2, in-gain and digital-1 ... they're all muted to zero but volume is on max... and the other devices are input devices, right? [21:42] moglenstar: Have you tried the "check cd for defects" option in the boot menu? [21:42] Oxygenfa1: your dd command should not have touched the partition table [21:42] MetalNate: Are you mainly wanting the Java plugin for Firefox? If so, install that, and the JRE should get installed along with it. [21:42] bobertdos: ok im d/l the files and it's installing them [21:43] So It's safe to reboot ? [21:43] bobertdos: i need it for another program too [21:43] Oxygenfa1: The MBR is not located in a partition, it is located at a Main Boot Record area in front of the first partition [21:43] jrib: are you available?? [21:43] Oxygenfa1: NO [21:43] komputes: and all other available devices (file->change device) are on full volume also [21:43] Oxygenfa1: Get yourself an external HD, back up everything you can! [21:43] yeah well... with gentoo at least your learning how a computer works [21:43] weird problem: samba share will allow creation of fodler and copy of files but won't allow copy of folder with files in it [21:43] ok [21:43] theres a learning aspect to it all [21:43] Oxygenfa1: you wiped out the little grub program installed at the front of the drive [21:43] bariga: I use mpg123 to play mp3s at command line [21:43] MichaelScott: please stay on topic. NObody here is bashing gentoo. Please be courteous. [21:43] moglenstar, there is nothing on choosing custom kernel in the official doc [21:43] Oxygenfa1: You need to figure out why the grub-install failed [21:43] is fluxbox a good choice of lightweight window manager? [21:43] geirha, it's not the CD, or the CD-Rom drive. I've encountered this problem with multiple types of Ubuntu install media, burned at speeds from 1x to 24x. The hardware has worked fine for other BSD/Linux variations. [21:43] MichaelScott: and note that you can learn just as much on ubuntu. [21:43] MetalNate: Well, the JRE should take care of that too. What kind of program, by the way? [21:43] thomc: yes. very good choice... :D [21:44] tritium: you just said that ubuntu is more convient than gentoo! [21:44] bobertdos: it's called phex, a p2p program [21:44] +1 fluxbox [21:44] leslieviljoen, the mbr is "not located on a partition" but the partition table IS located on the MBR. [21:44] but you have to download the source i guess, cause on my ubuntu 8.0 there is no mpg123 package anymore [21:44] komputes: ? [21:44] glyph_, I found that too. But the error about it not finding a suitable kernel suggested I install one manually. I figure the only way to do this is from one of the other tty's in the install environment, as I wouldn't be able to boot otherwise. [21:44] Odd-rationale: thanks... i'll see how i get on :) [21:44] MetalNate: Ah yes, well this should do it. [21:44] MichaelScott: you asked for a reason to switch. That is an answer to your question, not an attack. [21:44] still thanks favro [21:44] Juhaz: no, after it, AFAIK [21:44] So is this it ? I can't do anything ? It's over ? I reinstall and configure ubuntu all over again ? [21:45] i personally think the only learning experience you'll get out of ubuntu is learning how to pronounce a new word: ubuntu [21:45] bobertdos: im confused on how to install it though, the site said i could just click on phex.jar and it should open [21:45] I got into this in the first place looking for help [21:45] MichaelScott: time to stay on topic, please. [21:45] ANd some jerk gave me this code [21:45] moglenstar: Ok, do you know how far into the installation it gets? [21:45] thomc: if you have any issues, go ahead an /join #fluxbox [21:45] I am attempting to batch rename some files but when I issue the command in the terminal I get the following " reading filenames from STDIN " then nothing,..... Any suggestinns?? [21:45] MichaelScott, , tritium: flamewars won't benefit non of us [21:45] anyone know how to use software line deamontools [21:45] bariga: hmmm I am still using dapper - there might be mpg321 [21:45] MichaelScott: don't you get the feeling to be slightly off topic ? :) [21:45] What was LjL suggesting? "sudo apt-get install gpart ; sudo gpart -b ~/mbr_backup -W /dev/sda /dev/sda" - what does that do? [21:45] does ubuntu have also soft like that [21:45] MetalNate: Well, it's normally best to run jars in the terminal, in Linux. [21:45] I can't get the keyring to stop asking for password when connecting to wi-fi [21:45] Odd-rationale: thanks... will do [21:45] MichaelScott, both distros are good and they cater for different sort of users [21:46] momesana: hence my call for him to return to the topic [21:46] they have both their strength and weaknesses [21:46] bobertdos: im not completly sure how to do that [21:46] Ill paste bin it one second [21:46] i have a problem about the sound, if i play a vide from browser first, then i cannot play from my computer it is interesting. how can i fix it any idea for that ? [21:46] hi, i have one server ubuntu 6.. [21:46] geirha, It's during the "Install the base system" part of the install. It fails to find a suitable kernel for my Cyrix II (6x86/i686) CPU. [21:46] http://pastebin.com/m6beff564 [21:46]  leslieviljoen: http://pastebin.com/m6beff564 [21:46] Oxygenfa1: looks like it might be creating a backup of the mbr? [21:46] how do you mount a bin/cue with the mount command? [21:47] bariga: you can also try sox, which can also play mp3, ogg, flac, etc... [21:47] MetalNate: Once java is installed, go into a terminal, navigate to wherever your jar file is and type: sudo java -jar [21:47] favro: seems like it doens't include any of these names.. but i'll look for the source code and install it [21:47] leslieviljoen, it can be after it, but very rarely. usually it's at the very end of the MBR. [21:47] tritium, I think convenience is a relative term. Ubuntu is definetly more convenient for starters or peaple who won't to quickly set up a gentoo box to get some job done. But developers or people who want full control will find gentoo more convenient [21:47] bobertdos: will synaptic install java completly?

I have not selected 1 2 or 3 . I was waiting for further instruction from this room [21:48] My sound under Ubuntu is only a whisper although the volume is at maximum... anyone any ideas? [21:48] tritium, yes but gentoo has some benefits. You can write ebuilds very quickly and try out different versions of softwarepackages with your developed software [21:48] deph: did you go through edit>preferences and turn on all devices? [21:48] komputes: yes i did [21:48] Juhaz: I see you are right [21:49] deph: Did you check your levels using alsamixer in the terminal? [21:49] momesana: as you can do with source .deb packages. [21:49] does anyone know how i can run a dvd that is on my hdd to run it [21:49] tritium, that is just by masking different versions of a package. And developers are usually the sort of people who want full control anyway [21:49] bobertdos: alsamixer gives me some error :-\ [21:49] Juhaz: I don't know how to answer on the partition question [21:49] tritium, yes. But I think ebuilds are more accessible and easier to work with [21:49] deph: how are you testing sound output? [21:49] leslieviljoen, certainly, but he can't reinstall grub until after he has restored the partitions, and if he has important work on the disk, making it readable is whole lot more important than making it bootable. [21:49] tritium, rpm are for example really really awkward to create [21:49] deph: and what error would that be? [21:49] deph: you are running hardy?

[21:51] tritium, I guess when ubuntu had been available a few years earlier I wouldn't have switched to gentoo. But nowadays it's different. ubuntu is there, easy to use and has updated packages. that wasn't like that a few years ago. debian was made up of old packages. testing and unstable were really unstable and sort of unusable. Gentoo was very clean and uptodate those days [21:51] moglenstar: Hm, don't know what the installer tries to do to "detect" which kernel needs to be installed. I think your best bet is to report it as a bug on launchpad.

It's a matter of taste. So let's get my apt-get update thing right :-P [21:53] <^DeathKiNG^> rg [21:53] Also I can put home on its own partician [21:53] My HD isn't screwed though is it ? Can I install another os ? [21:53] leslieviljoen, Oxygenfa1 I'm not really familiar with gpart, but I might be able to walk you through recreating those with fdisk [21:54] II dont have fdisk [21:54] I have an xp cd (legit) [21:54] define legit [21:54] Oxygenfa1: try typing fdisk :-) [21:54] On gentoo I would download the portage tree as a tarball and unpack it to /usr. That would provide me with a new updated archive of recipies of how to fetch and install software. I sort of want to do the same with ubuntu :) [21:55] moglenstar: My guess is that that chipset is so rare now a days that no one has tested it. [21:55] hi every one [21:55] hi [21:55] deph: now the output of the command $ lspci | grep -i audio [21:55] lol, I own it: ) it came with my computer [21:55] i had problem in my sound [21:55] nice name [21:55] long time ago [21:55] lonnnnnng time ago lol [21:55] !timebasedreleases | momesana not really how it is done [21:55] momesana not really how it is done: Ubuntu releases a new version every 6 months. Each version is supported for 18 months to 5 years. More info at http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/releases & http://wiki.ubuntu.com/TimeBasedReleases [21:55] deph: hmm...........and you have already tested your sound with bot Alsa and Pulse, yes? [21:55] ok I have fdisk [21:55] momesana: you can "apt-get source " [21:55] Oxygenfa1: Oh, you may have to say 'n' when asked if you want to edit the partiton [21:55] Can someone please tell me if a Cor2duo t5670 is a 64 or 32 bits processor? [21:55] ubottu, yes. But there must be updates [21:55] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [21:55] security updates [21:55] bobertdos: I don't know what these programs are... so no, i didn't [21:55] and I have added some new repos [21:56] tritium, however that is just the current "supported one" [21:56] look my problem is that my sound card main out line place dont work [21:56] ompaul: correct [21:56] Juhaz: gpart seems to guess the partitions in pastebin and write them to a new partition table [21:56] deph: what bobertdos recommens is to go to system > preferences > sound and changing the audio management [21:56] in order to install codecs etc and now it wants to update the list of servers etc. but I have no internet connection [21:56] in windows i change it and work with another place [21:56] 00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801H (ICH8 Family) HD Audio Controller (rev 03) [21:56] Juhaz: seems to be offering to edit the guesses [21:56] I have a small problem with a usb disk (it is a sata in a box) that its format in ext3. When I plug, the disk mount, the disk not access for writing. How can i change for fix this problem? [21:56] but i cant in ubuntu [21:56] tritium, I read that as an upgrade to latest [21:56] hi! === ChoboMog is now known as m000gle [21:56] Using Brasero, how do I copy a CD with only one cd-rom currently installed. I went to disc copy, and the Copy option is greyed out. do I have to make a "file image"? [21:57] Juhaz: the -W should write it's guesses back to the device, and should be all done [21:57] why is the update for gimp still not availible allthough 2.6 has been published 2 days ago? [21:57] tritium, that problem I can't even find qt in the aptitute. I need it for development [21:57] Oxygenfa1: what happens if you choose 'n' when asked if you want to edit? [21:57] the latest version in the repros is 2.4 [21:57] tritium, I guess that's because I didn't have all those thirdparty repos activated [21:58] tritium, I've activated them now but apt needs to fetch some files in order to update it's list of packages [21:58] list of available packages [21:58] momesana, what version are you using? [21:58] jonathan_: Ubuntu does not roll out updates for applications mid-cycle unless they are bug or security fixes. [21:58] 8.04 [21:58] komputes: bobertdos: The settings were on autodetect. Pulse doesn't output anything when i click on test, ALSA outputs a sine tone but also only at the volume of a whisper [21:58] ompaul, 8.04 [21:58] :( [21:59] momesana, so you should not have to add repos - third party repos may not be made to a good enough standard to not break your box [21:59] leslieviljoen:Unable to open n [21:59] 2.6 is a stable release! [21:59] ompaul, I am from gentoo. Thinks are broken there all the time so that's not a problem [21:59] ompaul, I just need to get something like Qt working [22:00] Any able to help me install a scanner [22:00] Oxygenfa1: on, when gpart asks if you want to 'edit this table', type 'n' [22:00] and i would like to use it so there should be the possibility to update even if it isn't recomended! [22:00] how is 8.10 shaping up? hopefully it will be slightly better then the 8.04 release? :D [22:00] ompaul, not having qt or multimedia codecs is a no go for me. [22:00] Oxygenfa1: if it's still waiting for input, press ctrl-c and run the command again [22:00] momesana, sudo apt-get update ; sudo apt-get install qt* as you want [22:00] ompaul, and I've set up some ubuntu boxes (when I was still in germany and had a 2Mbs internet link) with all that stuff and it was quite stable [22:00] leslieviljoen: I type fdisk and it just gives me the options [22:01] leslieviljoen: I don't really know how to use it [22:01] Oxygenfa1: no, not fdisk, the gpart command [22:01] Oxygenfa1: gpart guesses partition tables [22:01] arnath02:i'am using 8.10 and i have no problems [22:01] ompaul, how do I do an apt-get update without a direct internet link. That is my problem here. If I was connected to the internet then I wouldn't be asking here ;) [22:01] "Activate which partition (1..4, q to quit) : " [22:01] ... [22:01] arnath02: That's better to ask in #ubuntu+1. We are hoping of course, that some of Hardy's bugs get cleaned out. [22:01] !apt-zip | momesana [22:01] Sorry, I don't know anything about apt-zip [22:01] Oxygenfa1: no, get out of fdisk (q?) [22:01] leslieviljoen: thats what it said. [22:02] I did [22:02] bobertdos: ah ye forgot bout that channel :> [22:02] ompaul, that's better :-D [22:02] let me check what apt-zip does [22:02] Oxygenfa1: and ran the gpart command again? [22:02] momesana, don't know if apt-zip is what you want [22:02] ubottu, me too. never heard of it before [22:02] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [22:02] i'm going to stick with 8.10 [22:02] leslieviljoen: yes. I selected N [22:02] leslieviljoen: Then it is asking me what table I want to edit [22:02] !intrepid | thiebaude [22:02] thiebaude: 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 30th! [22:03] I dont know what to do [22:03] yes 27 more days [22:03] Oxygenfa1: oh, so gpart is asking which partition to activate? [22:03] ompaul, I just want to know how to update the internet package list of ubuntu. So I can then do apt-get install --print-uris and get the list of updated packages for my package [22:03] Oxygenfa1: (not edit, activate) [22:03] Not only that, for some reason gnome is crashing on me and I cant make a back up folder anymore. when I log in it freezes. [22:03] momesana, requires internet access [22:03] yes [22:03] !sound > ubuntu [22:03] ubuntu, please see my private message [22:03] momesana, if you have one box with and one without [22:03] !alsa [22:03] Ill paste bin what it asks me [22:03] 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 [22:03] how do I split D: into 9GB+1GB with either Vista or LiveCD so I can have a swap partition to install Ubuntu? [22:04] Upgrading to 8.10 broke the Fn key on my apple keyboard, I can't find similar complaints on the forums, any clues? [22:04] Oxygenfa1: activate 1 [22:04] !pulseaudio [22:04] PulseAudio is a sound server intended as a drop-in replacement for !ESD - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PulseAudio for information and installation instructions [22:04] momesana, else get a full mirror [22:04] I'd use the resize, but don't want to waste 10GB on swap [22:04] ompaul, yes. But it should also be doable in some hackish way. After all apt-get also downloads and untars the stuff to some location [22:04] lol [22:04] please hep!! [22:04] momesana, and bring that with you [22:04] help, even* [22:04] bobertdos: is that an answer to my questions or not directed to meß [22:04] ? === haywire is now known as _haywire_ [22:04] ompaul, I just have a 56kb modem connection here on my laptop. And not even an ehternet cable to use windows as a gateway [22:04] momesana, dpkg -k packagename-goes-here-with-full-version [22:04] hi bobertdos [22:04] leslieviljoen: http://pastebin.com/m3c2bfa3c\ [22:05] Hi, suddenly things I plug in is not automounted, why can this be? I have to click on thm in the placesmenu, then they aremounted === Coppershade-org^ is now known as PhotonSCX [22:05] deph: you are on the right track, set them all to ALSA or Pulse or OSS and test, it's different for all hardware configurations [22:05] leslieviljoen: http://pastebin.com/m3c2bfa3c that is correct url [22:05] Coppershade-org^: Well, you could resize manually, (even though that's riskier). Then at least you could make the sizes whatever you wanted. [22:05] I just had a tick on me :| [22:05] ompaul, yes but that works only if the package is in the current list. my current installation doesn't even list qt as a download option [22:05] Oxygenfa1: 1 [22:05] ompaul, not mentioning multimedia codecs etc. [22:05] Hi... what's the chipset for edimax ew-7718 for modprobe -r on ndiswrapper [22:06] If I have two drives in my computer, how do I make sure ubuntu will reformat, and install the right drive? [22:06] is there a replacement/fix for audacious (that looks like winamp)? im getting: ERROR: neon: neon.c:1157 (neon_aud_vfs_getc_impl): <0x8356568> Could not getc()! and id3_file_vfsopen: file failed when i try to open a mp3 stream (on ubuntu hardy) [22:06] Hello. I've recently found out that my university network will be putting a limit on the maximum number of connections to the internet/peers in the span of an hour (mainly to cut down on people's BitTorrent usage). I was just wondering if anyone knew of a way in Ubuntu 8.04 to monitor how many of these “connections” are occurring, similar to how the System Monitor can display bandwidth usage in the Network History. [22:06] momesana, so you need a second box with good connection or you can get each package really slowly [22:06] ompaul, it first has to get the list of installable packages from those newly added repos before I can do anything usefull using apt-get dpkg etc. [22:06] deph: Well, have you read the sound wiki yet? I did call that for someone else, but you should probably read it too. [22:06] Please help me... sorry I don't speak good english i'm frensh [22:06] ompaul, I would go to some internet cafe and download the files there :) [22:06] momesana, so that needs apt-get update [22:07] Hey I'm trying to install libsvn-javahl it says I need libsvn-java but it's already installed. What should I do? [22:07] ompaul, but I can't take my computer along with me to do the apt-get update [22:07] how does hibernate work under linux with a laptop? [22:07] ompaul, I need to simulate apt-get update somehow. [22:08] phoenix_, Just like on any other machine, just check which modes your chipset supports under Ubuntu [22:08] how do I find that out? [22:08] Everything. I. Say. Here. Is. Recorded. [22:08] PostersandGuitar: If you want to be absolutely sure you're targeting the right drive, run sudo fdisk -l to figure out which drive is which before running the installer. [22:08] hi [22:08] momesana, then you dial up and do your apt-get update when that is done you need to figure what you want from the cafe which you get from pool.ubuntu.org there is no other way I can think of that is as effective [22:08] ** Error: rereading partition table: Device or resource busy. [22:08] ompaul, what apt does is to download a bunch of files called Packages.bz2, sources.bz2 etc. then it unpacks them and puts them into /var/lib/apt/lists [22:08] Hi... what's the chipset for edimax ew-7718 for modprobe -r on ndiswrapper [22:08] Please help me... sorry I don't speak good english i'm frensh [22:08] bobertdos: I'm installing Ubuntu Studio. No Live CD. Just text-based [22:08] "* Warning: partition table written, you should reboot now. " lol no. [22:09] or yes ? [22:09] but it renames the files. There must be some simple way to simulate that [22:09] wifi [22:09] question: how do I change the video output ... driver/library in totem? all the colors are wrong (almost negative) [22:09] if I just knew the rules I'd write some script to do that [22:09] momesana, yeah I been on ubuntu for years I know this - you need to do this albeit slowly [22:09] hey I have been trying to install libsvn-javahl for eclipse. When I run sudo apt-get install libsvn-javahl I get this: http://pastebin.com/m57f57270 What should I do???? [22:09] Oxygenfa1: no, try the grub-install now [22:09] compared with vlc which displays them properly [22:09] Oxygenfa1: remember sudo [22:09] phoenix_, you can always try to go into sleep mode..(After you close all your files) If it doesn't wake up from that, you'll know it wont support it. It will start after the second time of rebooting though [22:09] PostersandGuitar: Well, I would still run fdisk, and use that information to make sure the installer targets the right drive. [22:09] ompaul, slowly is ok. it may take hours. That is not an issue (though a little expensive due the dial up connection) [22:10] I can't run fdisk without linux. I can't install inux without targetting the right drive. [22:10] ompaul, I just need to know the procedure [22:10] It's XVideo vs X11 in VLC. XVideo is what displays the improperly, but I want to use gnome and totem. Any suggestions? [22:10] "Searching for GRUB installation directory ... found: /boot/grub" [22:10] momesana, do this and come back to me sudo apt-get update [22:10] ok [22:10] Thats good [22:10] ompaul, I've downloaded all the files [22:11] I have a list of Packages.bz2 etc. files now [22:11] phoenix_, It sounds a bit simple, I know, but it's the fastest way to test it. You can also google for your chipset and acpi / apm [22:11] Bobertdos: I can't get the linux to run fdisk without installing on the right drive.... [22:11] join #conky [22:11] momesana, then do this: sudo apt-get install foo and when you do that it will tell you what packages you need but you should also do sudo apt-get upgrade for security fixes [22:11] Oxygenfa1: one sec [22:12] ompaul, I'll take them to the ubuntu box and see if the name to which the file should be renamed can be extracted from the files contained there and if so I'll put them there. Wish me luck [22:12] Hi... what's the chipset for edimax ew-7718 for modprobe -r on ndiswrapper [22:12] Hi... what's the chipset for edimax ew-7718 for modprobe -r on ndiswrapper [22:12] k [22:12] ompaul, ok. :) [22:12] Please help me... sorry I don't speak good english i'm frensh [22:12] be back in half an hour [22:12] has anyone used os X heavily before? [22:12] someone want to lend me a hand getting my windows install to boot again? [22:12] no,jasunto [22:12] i am trying to find an app like caffeine for ubuntu [22:12] kitty_ What did you do? [22:13] jasunto, ask what you want to ask - polling will get you nowhere [22:13] PostersandGuitar: Oh, that's right, the UbuntuStudio disk probably doesn't have all the same packages installed. Well, if they are two physically separate drives, they will probably be named something like sda1 (for the first drive) and sdb1 (for the second). Usually, it will show their sizes and so forth, so hopefully you'll be able to tell them apart. [22:13] cedric_, Are you sure you need ndiswrapper? You will be submitting your system to possible bugs in a windows driver... [22:13] Oxygenfa1: try sudo hexdump -C -x -n 512 /dev/sda [22:13] bobert: thanks [22:13] jasunto, I also use OS X [22:13] Oxygenfa1: just to make sure there are no big zero areas now [22:13] Oxygenfa1: oh, leave out the -C [22:13] i had dapper installed, everything worked fine, couldn't upgrade to fiesty (for new apps i was trying to use) used the 8.04 installer cd and upgraded, windows shows up in grub but doesn't boot anymore [22:13] caffeine would let you click and icon and your computer wouldnt go to screen saver or standby or anything and click to deactivate [22:13] no settings needed [22:14] keep awake or let it back to normal [22:14] grub just says "Starting ..." when i choose or type in the commands for the windows partitions [22:14] ok [22:14] !caffeine [22:14] Sorry, I don't know anything about caffeine [22:14] !info kaffeine [22:14] kaffeine (source: kaffeine): versatile media player for KDE.

[22:19] kitty_: You mean without using the Grub menu.......or? [22:19] matreya6, I've windows driver... and i ... install the driver with ndiswrapper (ndiswrapper -i rt2870.inf) [22:19] i just apt-get fvwm and i get a session on gdm but when i choose it i get gnome [22:19] hollerith:in amiwm, to open programs you use the terminal [22:19] my normal menu.lst entry is to boot the partition that windows is on, i.e. it loads up ntldr and then goes from there [22:19] Oxygenfa1: mine: http://pastebin.com/m3fb394c3 [22:19] is there a way to bypass that and just boot windows directly ? [22:19] matreya6, with ndiswrapper -l now i can see rt2870 : driver installed [22:19] device (148F:2870) present [22:20] lol [22:20] kitty_: why do you want that? [22:20] so my hd is over [22:20] lol [22:20] Oxygenfa1: no man, don't be so dramatic! [22:20] yep i don't mind that i've been beryl and compiz and all but was feeling retro tonight and .. [22:20] Sorry [22:20] !amiwm [22:20] Sorry, I don't know anything about amiwm [22:20] cedric_, OK, that's a start, what doesn't work yet? [22:20] :) [22:20] lol [22:20] cause somehow i managed to mess up ntldr and everytime i try to use the menu entry or type the commands manually grub just says "Starting..." and freezes [22:20] I think it's the best you can do. Backup as much as you can (important stuff first) and reboot [22:21] sry, charging laptop battery... [22:21] Yeah, I'm tar ing a folder, gonna burn it to DVD , then download ubuntu 64, burn the ISO [22:21] And start over again [22:21] wow [22:21] Thanks anyway though ! : ) [22:21] kitty_: Pastebin your menu.lst and we can try to help you clean it up. After that, if you still want Windows to be the default, there are a couple ways to do that. [22:21] Man lesson learned, don;t trust 4chan [22:21] Audio interface compatible with Ubuntu Studio? [22:21] kitty_: that. sucks. No idea, I suck with grub. I can't even get the fix-it docs to work at all [22:21] i don't want windows to be the default i want it to boot [22:21] Oxygenfa1: no, it should work now [22:22] what is the best, most readable font (that hopefully is installed on ubuntu hardy) ? [22:22] Oxygenfa1: I'm just saying backup for safety, then you should be able to boot [22:22] When setting up partitions with gparted how do you determine where along the disk the partitions will end up? [22:22] what is the best, most readable font for programming (that hopefully is installed on ubuntu hardy) ? [22:22] Oxygenfa1, Here's a tip I just heard a little while ago. If you have a failing HDD it's probably misaligned. You can put your HDD in a plastic freezer bag and put it it in the freezer so the parts shrink again. [22:22] Interesting. I would need a much smaller hard drive if I didn't waste space. [22:22] how do i quick stop screensaver when sitting next to ubuntu [22:22] ? [22:23] matreya6: you need to boil it after taking it out the freezer again though! [22:23] http://pastebin.com/d7043da3d [22:23] really ? [22:23] omg [22:23] ok cool ! Do you think my HD is mis aligned ? [22:24] Oxygenfa1, after that, you can reinstall it in your box again and you have a working HDD for a while, until the misalignment reoccurs. [22:24] What's a misaligned HD? [22:24] jasunto: system >> preferences >> screen saver to adjust settings, normally moving a mouse or keyboard stroke prevents the screen saver from activating [22:24] Oxygenfa1, In the old days of FAT, HDD's used to fail because of a head-crah. Now, they fail because of overheating [22:25] matreya6, ... sorry speak a little bit of english... I can * (try) sudo modprobe -r nom_du_module_à_backlister [22:25] but what's the modul? [22:25] PostersandGuitar, a misaligned HDD has a reading head that is not aligned anymore to the tracks of your HDD. [22:25] bcm43xxx it's not good! [22:25] !modul [22:25] Sorry, I don't know anything about modul [22:26] matreya6: perhaps you should reign in the advice there a little, some people don't have crazy filters [22:26] kitty_: I have an alternate suggestion, fix ntldr. Interested? [22:26] i want something to temporarily prevet screensaver lock [22:26] how i can change a theme? [22:26] yes but i don't have a bootable windows partition or cd now so i can't just "fdisk /mbr" [22:26] kitty_: Well, the file is fine. Since this happened due to a corrupt ntldr, if you've got a Windows disk, I'd use the recovery console to issue fixmbr and fixboot.

Tell me about it. [22:27] Hey! can someone help me. I'm using UBUNTU 6 and i got a problem when it asks the login/password. When i type "root" it goes back to the user field. What can i do?? [22:27] thiebaude: i found a osx theme [22:27] i can make script to move mouse cursor every 1 minute or so? [22:28] UDF is the format of magicISO [22:28] lol so many questions so few answers [22:28] hklaveren: Ubuntu forbids root logins into X.

[22:29] hklaveren: You should login as a regular user :p [22:29] leslieviljoen, ouch, that's pretty destructive as long as you don't have a backup, [22:30] hklaveren: You should have been walked through creating a user account during installation. [22:30] ved: It's a .ISO and UDF is Universal Disc Format I beilieve, a DVD filesystem that allows storage of files larger than 2GB [22:31] <_haywire_> how do i copy and paste from the desktop to /opt ? i keep getting error no permission [22:31] haywire: you need to be sudo [22:31] jasunto: why don't you just turn off "enter Screensaver when idle" and make a shortcut to that or button to toggle that option? [22:31] err uhhh you need to use sudo [22:31] <_haywire_> turbopotato no way to do that from gui? have to be done in terminal? [22:31] matreya6: there's a guy suggesting your freezer idea here: http://geeksaresexy.blogspot.com/2006/01/freeze-your-hard-drive-to-recover-data.html, but I would never try that [22:32] ditch that gui and use that command line [22:32] How do I partition a 10GB partition into 9+1?

[22:35] matreya6, thanks, I'll check there [22:35] after choosing the 10GB partition it complains it needs one more partition for the swap, which I don't have. How do I split up the 10?

[22:36] Onkel|A [22:36] sry [22:36] ompaul, 2GB [22:36] hi i need help with wow [22:37] PhotonSCX, in theory you should be double your ram - however with such a tight mean amount of space I would say 512Mb [22:37] You can reinstall system and before install new one you can split your hdd :P [22:37] cedric_, I'm still there and waiting for your answer.

[22:38] ompaul, if 10GB swap is good, and resize of this existing Vista partition is reliable, I am willing to give Ubuntu 30-40GB of this Vista partition with the resize tool, and specify the 10GB as swap on the LiveCD [22:38] If it asks for it. Does it, in guided mode?? [22:38] PhotonSCX: Try reading the gparted docs [22:39] Oxygenfa1: because if you are busy freezing your harddrive you are beyond help!

[22:42] miso: _W_ine _I_s _N_ot an _E_mulator [22:42] miso, you can only do what you do - if it is not a gnu/linux game then you must use wine [22:42] hi [22:42] however, I would like more control and options on the liveCD, since I am a programmer and know what I'm doing. [22:42] such as an fdisk tool. [22:42] in amarok, after playing certain songs, they are delted from my playlist [22:42] upon a restart, they are there again [22:43] wats the problem/fix?

I never got WPA2 working.,, [22:43] miso: wine is a translator instead of an emulator. The performance hit is minimal and sometimes inexistant. [22:43] i need help finding snes9x-x that I just installed and cant find. [22:43] miso: you can't play WoW on Linux without wine. [22:44] yes, but as a programmer, I'd like to know beforehand that "resizing" an existing partition with tons of work stuff on it won' t destroy client data ;) [22:44] PhotonSCX: I must go now, sorry. Look here http://gparted.sourceforge.net/ [22:44] turtle_, it is probably in in /usr/games [22:44] I'd prefer to split up the 10GB into 8+2 or 9+1 [22:44] :) [22:44] DaveKong [22:44] anyone? [22:44] isn't gparted a LINUX partition tool= [22:44] matreya6: k, ill check [22:44] amarok deleting songs from my play list upon playing? [22:44] which means: I need LINUX first? [22:44] any binary newsreader which can be used serverside? [22:45] turtle_, if you can find it there you can find any file with "find / -iname snes9x-x" [22:45] PhotonSCX: yes it is and it is the default one for ubuntu [22:45] Kl4m: but i can't install wine before i am not administrator of computer [22:45] maybe I missed a commandline tool F-key on the livecd that will give me gparted? [22:45] nickz327: Are you sure your songs aren't just queued? [22:45] no i try to install awn-manager and it gives me this: “deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/awn-testing/ubuntu hardy main” ? ? ? [22:45] PhotonSCX, the live cd has it all there - just do it [22:45] I don't need to partition AFTER I install Ubuntu..... [22:45] gee [22:45] it only happens with one artest [22:45] did I get something wrong? [22:46] and this: E: Type '“deb' is not known on line 80 in source list /etc/apt/sources.list E: The list of sources could not be read.

[22:46] leslieviljoen: lol [22:46] PhotonSCX, the install tool does it - your call if you want to use it or not [22:46] it does not. [22:46] Oxygenfa1: sorry, I have to be tough on you gullible people :-) [22:46] Oxygenfa1, sorry for the confusion I might have caused... [22:46] it asks for a root partition in Manual and then complains it needs a swap partition [22:47] no option to create one. [22:47] anyone here use powertop [22:47] matreya6, i've wep... not wpa2... [22:47] PhotonSCX, so you don't know what you are doing, let it do itself [22:47] thx ompaul [22:47] one "F5 partition tool" would let me show you that I know what I'm doing [22:47] windows style guides does NOT [22:47] anyone please? [22:47] nickz327: Hmm, not sure..........Are the songs from the one artist sitting on a separate partition? Are they different formats than the others?? [22:48] cedric_, there is a project to develop drivers for the Ralink RT2500 series for Linux, maybe they can give you some useful pointers on your card? [22:48] brb, going to reboot from the LiveCD, going to poke around every single menu on that cd [22:48] miso: It's possible to install wine in your user directory but seriously... You want to play WoW on a machine that you're not admin? [22:49] hi all. one question: is the 32bit server kernel with bigmem known to be slow? I use it on a desktop machine to make use of 4GB ram. but it seems to be much slower. anyone? [22:49] if there is no way to create a 2gb swap partition from D: there will be hell to pay for ompaul :):) [22:49] PhotonSCX, ehh not what i suggested read your logs [22:49] my logs? [22:49] Why does aMSN not start in system tray if it is set to launch on startup ? [22:49] In 8.04 after i boot up if I open a web browser and view a flash video or audio then I am unable to hear sound coming from a local audio source (i.e mp3). [22:49] but then if I open a local audio file first, i can then no longer hear audio in flash. I have to restart the computer to reset the whole process of this [22:49] PhotonSCX, what I am saying to you, and this is the last time I will say it, is point it at that partition and let it go automatically [22:49] any ideas? [22:50] Kl4m: yes i am not admin on this machine bot i want play wow [22:50] turtle_, did you find your snes-emulator yet? [22:50] I did. in manual mode. it wanted a swap partition. I am not going to give it my vista parttition to use as swap. [22:50] matreya6: no [22:50] matreya6, yes why not... but it's rt2870 [22:50] PhotonSCX, there is a click once and it works install tool when it boots up [22:50] Kl4m: *but [22:50] yaddle: Sadly, this is a known bug in Pulseaudio. Our best suggestion is switching all the audio preferences and gstreamer-properties over to ALSA. [22:51] anyway brb [22:51] hey everyone [22:51] miso: you will have to install wine in your home directory. [22:51] bobertdos: Everything is already switched to ALSA :( === pen_ is now known as pen [22:51] turtle_, you can find the installed files for any package from Synaptic [22:51] yaddle: including gstreamer-properties? [22:52] bobertdos: Hmm maybe not. How do I go about modifying the gstreamer-properties? [22:52] Kl4m: but how instal wine in my home directory [22:52] yaddle: type it into the terminal or the run menu [22:52] bobertdos: Ok thanks :) [22:53] turtle_, You can first search for the package in Synaptic. If it is installed you can right-click on the package and go to the tab [installed files] === graham is now known as gray-- [22:54] I was wondering when you are in the terminal how can you get a list off all the software you can download [22:54] miso: Also, if by any chance it's to setup a bot, it will not work if the machine doesn't have X server and a 3D card. [22:55] bobertdos: Yea, everything was already set to ALSA :( [22:55] HyperFireRush: I'm not sure you'd ever WANT a list of ALL the software you can install. That would be an awfully long list :D Why do you ask? [22:55] miso: you could ask #wine about a home directory install [22:55] yaddle: *sigh* Well, this is something that we are all praying will be fixed in 28 days :p [22:55] hello, why when I read some files on my ntfs partition I see characters like that: conexión ??? [22:56] bobertdos: Haha ok no prob. Thanks for the help dude :) [22:56] well i have only had linux for about 2 days and dont really have any software and dont like any in the add remove section [22:56] Kl4m: and how i can test if i have 3D card and x server? [22:56] i installed ubuntu-server, then ran "sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop" and i have no graphics [22:56] HyperFireRus, you can start with apt-cache search a, then apt-cache search b.... [22:57] HyperFireRush: Use Synaptic or apt-cache. You will like either of those frontends much better. [22:57] HyperFireRush: "apt-cache pkgnames" but that list is not useful [22:57] gotcha [22:57] im going to mess around with it [22:58] but i had vista and i am never turning back LOL [22:58] i have ubuntu now [22:58] and love love love it [22:58] miso: if you installed the ubuntu desktop (not ubuntu server) you have X. the 3D card, well... look inside the computer?? [22:58] thats the spirit HyperFireRush [22:58] HyperFireRush: Well then, on behalf of us all, welcome to the Ubuntu community!! [22:58] ubuntu ftw [22:58] :) thanks do i get a cake? [22:58] LOL [22:59] the only that can cope with osx and vista [22:59] i'm trying to make a link to a file named wan, can anybody give me the command example?

Ubuntu WILL NOT release updates to the repos unless they are bug/security fixes. All APT frontends draw from the repos, you see. So you will not be able to install them using apt-get, Synaptic, or any of the automatic fontends. [23:14] be nice [23:14] Whats the best way to run windows inside Ubuntu? Virtualbox or VMWare? [23:14] if they put newer versio of vbox in the repos [23:14] ^^ [23:14] VirtualBox is pro [23:14] i recommend [23:14] ok Ill give it a shot. [23:14] thanks.

How would I go about it? [23:15] #linux [23:15] I think I got it, sudo apt-get install linux-libc-dev [23:15] ~ [23:15] formode, what do you mean by talking? [23:15] Hi, when I change my mac address in /etc/network/interfaces, I no longer have internet. [23:15] trashguy, I need to send files from one to another [23:16] formode, netwrok wise they mostlikely already are ^^ [23:16] Is there a way to eliminate the delay after entering an incorrect password to login? [23:16] tigran: how did you change it? [23:16] trashguy When I open the "Network" in naultius I see nothing :( [23:16] Hello. Is there a GUI to create a preseed file for an auto installation? [23:16] !nfs | formode [23:16] formode: nfs is the network file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SettingUpNFSHowTo for information on installing and configuring NFS. [23:16] formode, did you install samba? [23:16] auto ath0 iface ath0 inet dhcp hwaddress ether 01:02:03:04:05:06 [23:16] trashguy Samba becomes preinstalled I think [23:17] Odd-rationale: auto ath0 iface ath0 inet dhcp hwaddress ether 01:02:03:04:05:06 [23:17] formode: create directory in home, click right with mouse, choose "share" [23:17] trashguy: I believe he said two Ubuntu systems. Samba is not good for getting two Unix systems to file share. [23:17] Does any body knows how to use vim? [23:17] formode: do this on both computers [23:17] bobertdos, i just use scp :/ [23:17] Is there any VIm chat room? [23:17] man vim [23:17] webwurst, Thank you, doing it now [23:17] formode: If you have sshd installed, with Konqueror, it's a matter of typing "fish://remoteHost" You can then drag/drop files between the two computers. It's just a front-end for scp. [23:18] formode: do you use hardy? [23:18] trashguy: I suppose that works too, just not Samba ;) [23:18] CaptainMurphy, is not how to use it I need to do some things that are a little more complicated than just typing man [23:18] bobertdos, well yes CIFS is ugly [23:18] Sorry, I was joking around [23:18] i'm downloading with Ktorrent, and it goes grey for a few seconds while speed drops then it goes full throttle again, help please? [23:18] I'm no expert, I'm here with a problem [23:18] formode: you type "fish://" in the address bar, btw. [23:18] CaptainMurphy, is that to me? [23:18] yeah [23:18] tigran: did you do "sudo ifconfig ath0 down; sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart; sudo ifconfig ath0 up" ? [23:18] webwurst, Yes. [23:18] oh ok no problem men [23:18] trashguy: hahaha [23:19] man [23:19] noriyuki: Lots of people know how to use vim :) [23:19] cilkay, how well my friend jjeje? [23:19] cilkay, ok let me tell you [23:19] Odd-rationale: not in that order [23:19] Odd-rationale: so ath0 down, edit the file, restart networking, ath0 up? [23:20] tigran: also, i would recoomned macchanger [23:20] cilkay, I want to configure VIm so that every time i open a new archive it automacally run some commands [23:20] !info macchanger | tigran [23:20] Anyone have experience with installing [23:20] tigran: macchanger (source: macchanger): utility for manipulating the MAC address of network interfaces. In component universe, is extra. Version 1.5.0-1 (hardy), package size 85 kB, installed size 320 kB [23:20] wine [23:20] I've just upgraded to 8.04 and been trying to get PulseAudio working, but I can't get the server to start. What do I need to do for that? [23:20] Odd-rationale: i have it installed, so just do the same order? [23:20] erUSUL are you in the room? [23:20] HOW?? I want to configure VIm so that every time i open a new archive it automacally run some commands [23:20] formode: it will ask you to download samba/network-something. do that. but by enabeling the sharing of the directory you will get an error. permission or so. you must log out and in again. then share again and it will work. this is fixed in intrepid ;) [23:20] tigran: if you are using macchanger, then just add: pre-up macchanger -m 12:34:56:78:90:AB ath0 [23:20] webwurst, ok thank you so much! === GazzaK is now known as Gary [23:21] Hello, top is reporting fairly high mem usuage - Is the cache included in this total, as that is fairly high aswell. [23:21] When installing wine I get the error: /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lXext can someone tell me why??? [23:21] trashguy: find anything? there's nothing in my log files... except for the fact that it was expecting something, and came up with keyboard light triggers or some fool thing...

[23:24] Guys - I'm having a problem getting both my video cards/monitors working in Ubuntu. lspci only shows one vga card... [23:24] yeah [23:24] Where should I start? [23:24] crazyguy510: any particular reason why you're not using the repo version? [23:24] I'm patched the gif file for call of duty 4 [23:24] soundray, so can i subtract "Cached" from Mem: "used" to determine how much is actually used by applications? [23:25] so I could installl the patch [23:25] can someone help me to get samba join a domain ? [23:25] so 4 is read, 1 is execute , and 2 is write? [23:25] soundray, er nevermind [23:25] sledge: correct [23:26] how can i change my network settings ? [23:26] i need to change the dns server address [23:26] crazyguy510: you need to install dev dependencies then. 'sudo apt-get build-dep wine' should do it. [23:26] webwurst, They still are not talking [23:26] crazyguy510: read the tips, too [23:26] techsupport: /etc/samba/smb.conf [23:26] Hi, how to run make, to don't display lines starst with: "g++ -c -pipe ..." I want to see only warnings or errors, is it possible? [23:26] !compile > crazyguy510 [23:26] crazyguy510, please see my private message [23:26] What about patching [23:27] formode: did the sharing-thing work? [23:27] !pm | crazyguy510 [23:27] crazyguy510: Please ask your questions in the channel so that other people can also benefit AND help you. Please don't PM a user in the channel without asking first, some find it rude. [23:27] No, we got the shared folders up [23:27] bobertdos, i'm working on editting cmb.conf at this moment, do you think you can guide me a little ? [23:27] Installing grub failed. From a checked livecd. This is a fatal error. No Ubuntu for me :( [23:28] formode: do you see something under network? [23:28] webwurst, Only "Windows network" [23:28] I pointed the LiveCD to a formatted 10GB partition in Manual, it wanted a swap partition, I said no, go ahead. At 94% it failed to install grub. Reboot into Vista, No grub. What has this usr done wrong? [23:28] Alright thanks [23:28] Coppershade-org^: why dont you try the automated partitioning? [23:28] I need to put .avi files on a dvdr and play them on a dvd player on the TV, back in my windows days i used windvd so what could do that now? [23:28] formode: and can you enter that? [23:29] webwurst, Yes, I see it [23:29] techsupport: You mean smb.conf? Yeah, maybe a little........... [23:29] bobertdos, yeah sorry, smb.conf [23:29] Hey I forgot who was helping me a minute ago on my mac address changing and no internet: It didnt work. [23:29] danbh_intrepid, no no. why does Ubuntu fail to install grub, you mean. [23:29] formode: does your own computer show up in windows-share? [23:29] I checked the LiveCD with the LiveCD menu function. [23:30] alright, so I just installed my NVIDIA drivers but now my res is all messed up, and I can't make it smaller. I also can't check extra for visual effects any more [23:30] bobertdos, the reason i'm doing is that i want to have a backup drive on my network hosted by ubuntu server [23:30] Yes I see hers too, and I can open the folder, but it does not allow file transfer [23:30] I'm on a Vostro 1510, which at linux-laptop is ok for Ubuntu GG, which is why I bought it :) [23:30] SeaPhor: I've used a package called devede for that. Worked very well. It takes about 3.5 hours to create the ISO for a DVD from the original AVIs. [23:30] Coppershade-org^: well, clearly something went wrong. And you checked the cd, so I dunno. I take it that its a new computer? [23:30] When I change my mac address, I no longer have internet. Anyone have an idea why? [23:30] Coppershade-org^: some BIOSs protect the MBR against writes. Check your BIOS setup for an item named "boot sector virus protection" or similar. [23:30] techsupport: Yeah, that's understandable [23:30] bought it 2 months ago, it came with vista, sadly. [23:31] formode: ok! did you allow "writing" in the sharing options? [23:31] tigran: Your ISP might be giving you an IP based on MAC address. [23:31] can anyone help me i'm having trouble with the proprietary driver of nvidia [23:31] formode: on both computers [23:31] cilkay: Ive changed it in Windows tho, I still had internet [23:31] optimized vista so it's decent, but had a 10GB D: to spare, tried Ubuntu HH 32-bit livecd [23:31] wenwurst, I did. I keep getting "Operation not supported by backend" [23:32] sure, I could trust it to resize my vista partition and hope it preserves client data there for work, then use 10GB swap, but--- [23:32] bobertdos, my router is being repaired atm, so i only have switch connected to the cable modem, and both ubuntu server and win 2k3 are hooked up to the switch (without the router) [23:32] tigran: Did you release your IP on Windows before you changed the MAC address? If so, you might not have on Linux. I'm not sure why you're monkeying around with changing your MAC address, however. I've never had to do that. [23:32] I have an acer al2216w but ubunutu can't detect my screen and when I try to configure it only shows al2216wc al2216wv al2216wx What does the second letter mean? Its not possible anyone knwos this is there... [23:32] I'd rather just use D: for Ubuntu, it's formatted and ready :) [23:33] Coppershade-org^: that point is moot if for some reason grub fails to install [23:33] techsupport: okay, by the way have you read the ComprehensiveSambaGuide yet? [23:33] but apparently some users managed to install Ubuntu (GG) on a Vostro 1510 [23:33] cilkay: I dont think I did, I just used a little app, did it for me with no problem. What I'm doing is sudo ifconfig ath0 down; sudo macchanger -e xx:xx...; sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart; sudo ifconfig ath0 up; [23:33] formode: hm, saw that error. don't know what that means. but you could copy the files you want to share on your computer in the shared folder - and on the other computer you can access them over network [23:34] Okay, can anyone tell me why my PC isn't using my NVIDIA driver after I just installed it? [23:34] how to i have firestarter work on startup ? [23:34] Yes but she can't see me :( [23:34] bobertdos, no didnt know it existed [23:34] Coppershade-org^: do you read me? [23:34] webwurst [23:34] tigran: That app might have released it before changing. Why are you doing this anyway? [23:34] soundray, yes. [23:34] How do I make it possible for grub to install? :) [23:34] hi.. i have a question.. [23:34] Coppershade-org^: so follow my advice [23:34] hgv [23:34] techsupport: Also, I believe domain names need to also be set in System->Admin->Network. I'd have to think of what file that corresponds to. [23:34] formode: ok, mayby it just needs some time. you kow, it's an microsoft protocol ;) [23:34] !samba | techsupport [23:34] cilkay: To get into a ..umm..banned server [23:35] techsupport: Samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments.

Also see https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/212098 [23:35] i cannot connect on wlan network with nm-applet, when its secured network [23:35] webwurst, There's no linux native protocol?

[23:35] Astral_Projectio, whats your question? [23:35] Can someone tell me how, if it's possible, to downgrade gcc (g++) ?? [23:36] Someone succeeded, so I will. [23:36] formode: yeah nfs. but often friends join with windows-laptops or so. and nfs isn't the modernst thing, either [23:36] :) [23:36] brb [23:36] perillux: what version do you need? [23:36] i cannot connect on wlan network with nm-applet, when its secured network... it asks me for a key.. i enter it, and nothing happens [23:36] webwurst I just want to send her like 40 gigs of stuff xD [23:36] how can i make this work [23:36] with nm-applet [23:36] Astral_Projectio: what kind of security is on the network? WEP? WPA2? [23:36] Anyone know why my PC isn't using my NVIDIA driver after I just installed it? Using Hardy [23:36] WEP [23:36] bobertdos, have no clue, so do you think i should go through https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ComprehensiveSambaGuide [23:37] Spherous: how did you install it? [23:37] i tried 128 bit wep and 64bit wep [23:37] formode: hehe, what error do you get exaclty? [23:37] i even tried entering key in "s:keyyy" format, but i cannot make it work [23:37] webwurst, Well, I can see her, but transferring is a "Operation not supported by backend", and she can't even see me. [23:38] soundray, Downloaded it, did sudo chmod +x driverhere~ hit ctrl alt f1, sudo killall gdm. sudo ./driverhere~ and followed the instructions [23:38] soundray: I'm not exactly sure, but I have version 4.3 and I'm getting errors. I did some research and found that in older versions you didn't have to do #include for every library. It would do some of them automatically and in the new version they removed that feature. So now I'm trying to compile something that kinda needs to do that.... [23:38] Has anyone had problems with JACK+FreeBOB after upgrading to Intrepid (I have)? [23:38] techsupport: That's what I thought initially, but it doesn't have anything there specific to domains. I'd have to look up some stuff too. [23:38] Astral_Projectio: when it asks you for the key, does it also give you the option of selecting what kind of encryption is on the network? I seem to remember something like that last time I connected to a wireless network [23:38] hello all [23:38] Hello liza0_! [23:38] Spherous: why did you not go through System-Administration-Hardware Drivers ? [23:39] when i play video in linux (ubuntu ) they look low res compared to how they looked in windows. is there any way to improved the quality of the video during playback [23:39] Cuz I read this way offline? No one here was telling me how to so I decided I better follow a guide instead of spam this chat for help [23:39] haydnc, yes i have 3 type of wep encryption to select. 128 bit, 64bit and 64bit hex [23:39] i tried all but hex [23:39] and it doesnt work [23:40] i have to use wifi radar to connect to wlan network ;p [23:40] 1 [23:40] hi everybody [23:40] Hello AzizLight! [23:40] hi, i just plugged a usb sound card into my computer, and it seems to recognize it, but i cant figure out how to send sound to it [23:40] why does the ubuntu install partitioner put one partition as a primary, and the rest as secondary? [23:40] techsupport: It does look like most of the settings are in smb.conf. I think the biggest part is making sure Samba is the controller. [23:41] perillux: you can install older gcc versions from the repos. Do 'apt-cache search gcc | grep ^gcc' to see which ones [23:41] bobertdos, controller ? [23:41] is there a way to make Konsole (and yakuake) transparent in Ubuntu (not Kubuntu) ? I tried to set some transparency in the schema options but it did not work :S [23:41] formode: sorry, looks bad.

So that you can match the security type on your machine [23:41] soundray: thanks. I just want to go to an older version compile this thing, and then go back to my current version. [23:42] techsupport: er, wait, Windows is your controller isn't it? [23:42] soundray, did you see my message? [23:42] bobertdos, yes, windows is a domain controller [23:43] bobertdos, and i want to somehow make it so that the 500g drive i put into linux appear in my windows [23:43] Spherous: no, I'll miss your replies unless you use my nick [23:43] Spherous: I see it now [23:43] soundray: what version do you have? because I'm using Intrepid, so I think they might have a different version. Because what I'm trying to compile should work in hardy. [23:43] soundray, alright, sorry, I'm still not in the habbit of typing a name first [23:43] Spherous: see if it works the way I suggested [23:44] howdy comrades, I have a bit of a puzzlement: Wubi installer is throwing a critical thermal halt at 60 degrees Celsius (on a notebook computer) [23:44] which flash plugin for firefox would u prefer? [23:44] Spherous: feel free to repeat any question here if you haven't got a reply after 15 minutes or so [23:44] perillux: 4.2 is default in hardy [23:44] anyone on wifi question it, pinged me? :) [23:44] Astral_Projectio: more or less what I'm asking is: is there any chance at all - no matter how small that the access point might have been set to use, or recently changed to use a different type of encryption such as one of the WPA variants? or could it be set to use WEP 128bit ASCII where you're trying to use some other variant? [23:44] :) [23:44] trashguy [23:44] Soundray, when I go there it says its using it, but if I go to applications->System tools->NVIDIA X Server Settings, it says its not using it and to configure my x configuration file [23:44] !tab > Spherous [23:44] Spherous, please see my private message [23:44] soundray: ok can you talk me through downgrading to 4.2 then? because I have 4.3 [23:45] techsupport: yep, that's doable too [23:45] does 60°C sound like an unreasonably high operating temperature for a laptop though? [23:45] haydnc, it is using wep, i can connect to that access point when i manually set wireless (not broadcast mode) [23:45] my HD just died on me , i can still access it but it wont boot [23:45] Spherous: okay, that'll be difficult to fix [23:46] bobertdos, do you want to have a look at my cfg ?

[23:50] Astral_Projectio: Sorry I can't help - I have read that some people have issues with NM-Applet but since I've not run into that myself i guess I don't know enough about the work-arounds for it. Maybe someone else here can help [23:50] Spherous: no [23:50] ;-) [23:50] won't get latest [23:50] Technoviking, not sure if thats right at all [23:50] soundray: Then, thats a huge difference from Windows o.o [23:51] hm.. thanks anyway haydnc ..

[23:51] anyone else have potential solution to my problem? :) [23:51] soundray: Heh [23:51] Technoviking, sorry, ignore that was for someone else [23:51] soundray, tell aptitude (or apt-get) to install a specific version of a package in this case gcc, which i believe is a metapackage [23:51] Thanks Martin, will go! [23:51] artic np [23:52] unop: that's what I'd call pinning [23:52] soundray: should I auto or manual pick? I'm pretty sure my driver is 173.14.12, thats the one NVIDIA's site told me to download for my geforce 7 series [23:52] anyone know how to get started in setting up a small project? === NDPTAL86 is now known as NDPTAL85 [23:52] Spherous: I don't know, from here on I'd just have a play [23:52] hi all! [23:53] how do i find partners? [23:53] soundray, hmm, i call pinning doing that but then also setting up /etc/apt/preferences so that the package is given a source and priority. [23:53] soundray: alright~ brb while this does its thing [23:53] any one here use powernowd [23:54] having trouble with changing moves [23:54] modes [23:54] i have ubuntu 8.10 and gigabit ethernet card and my OS can`t detect it [23:54] someone help me? [23:54] unop: okay... In any case, for gcc version 4.2 it's very easy to just install gcc-4.2 and update the symlinks in /usr/bin [23:54] Does anyone know how to set up of a key ring manually - my laptop did not automatically create a new one when connecting to protected networks. [23:54] !ibex | jakisktos but yes, its broken [23:54] jakisktos but yes, its broken: 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 30th!

[23:55] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [23:55] jakisktos: read http://www.ubuntu.com/testing/intrepid/beta -- Known Issues, first bullet [23:55] bobertdos, in the examble you gave me, they only show like 2 lines [23:55] is their any other programs like Wine that i can use [23:56] Hello. In Postfix, when connecting remotely via TELNET< I get Relay access denied [23:56] bobertdos, example where samba as member of domain controller [23:56] Why does that happen? [23:56] randy, depends, what for? if gaming, go with Cedega [23:56] bobertdos, how does my smb.conf look like ? [23:56] danbh_intrepid: okay i did gstreamer-properties... and i seen the webcam but the screen is solid black how can i get it to show picture (yes the lens cap is off its the first thing i checked) [23:56] hehe...how can I create a new folder in /opt?

[23:57] I've reinstalled Gnome after some problems and re-generate the xorg.conf through dpkg-reconfigure xorg-server, however it looks like gnome doesn't work while KDE/XFCE do [23:57] jakisktos: what type of card is it? [23:57] thanks a bunch again! [23:57] Cedega is possibly behind in Wine, except maybe for being able to run viruses [23:57] martin__, sorry, what? [23:57] does Via C7 cpu have decent performance in ubuntu? [23:57] err, farther behind than wine [23:57] randy: Most media are playable natively, what are you trying to watch/ listen to? [23:57] randy, Uh, I think there is one more, the name ecapes me atm, but Wine is your best bet. But for media players, I suggest Songbird for music, and Totem or VLC for movies... those work perfect with gnome [23:57] unop: nothin, just typed before urs [23:58] soundray: I'll be right back, gotta restart [23:58] songbird works with linux? [23:58] buggy, yes it does [23:58] sick. [23:58] soundray: integrated on intel motherboard, model of mobo is: dp35dp [23:58] I had no idea. [23:58] Hello?

Please repeat [23:59] WDC, http://www.postfix.org/VIRTUAL_README.html this helps [23:59] nothing personal but i prefer GNOME that doesn't work anymore on my computer :S [23:59] anyone suggest better flash plugin for firefox?
