I've noticed lag, and it's with any VNC client, using the VNC server (believe it's vinagre), it's built into the system menu, or administration.

[00:34] Predator106, i've tried. why? [00:34] IntuitiveNipple: for motion eye on a vaio [00:34] I'm getting immense lag, and I'm local, Remote Desktop(RDP) in windows worked fine for the server, but its really laggy [00:34] mickybadia: r5u870, yeah. [00:34] as vnc [00:35] mickybadia: the output of that last command ( the ...*/info) should show a CAPTURE device [00:35] IntuitiveNipple: yep, that one, but is it due to the driver if I can't change colour/bright/etc.? [00:35] Predator106, is it only with RDP or other services too? [00:35] Guest94778: Have you had prob's similar? [00:35] IntuitiveNipple: it does [00:35] <_Roman> Does anyone know of any tools to let me analyse what processes are using what network bandwidth? [00:36] Guest94778: Only with VNC, namely, Ubuntu's (GNOMES) [00:36] Predator106, i haven't found where to enable rdp, so i tried installing tightvnc server [00:36] Guest94778: I don't know if it is just the 'vinagre' server that does it, what other server vnc programs are there for ubuntu [00:36] jcdick: wow, its actually harder than I thought. Im not sure if you are still looking for a solution, but a very 'dirty' one is just to run 'sudo cp /dev/pts/1 /dev/pts/2' where 1 is the src terminal and 2 is your terminal... [00:36] Guest94778: you can install tightvnc server for linux? [00:37] Predator106, sure [00:37] Guest94778: native? [00:37] Predator106, yes. just google "tightvnc ubuntu" [00:37] Guest94778: k, thanks [00:37] Predator106, where did you enable rdp? [00:38] Predator106, i'll try it now and tell you if i get lag [00:38] Predator106, i'm sitting here with a windows laptop and ubuntu side by side so i can test it [00:38] Guest94778: No, when I had my windows server I used RDP and it was fast, but i switched it to ubuntu using the "Remote Desktop"(Vinagre package), and it gets really laggy [00:38] mickybadia: r5u870 - brightness isn't controlled by the driver [00:39] Predator106, wtf is vinagre and how did you install it [00:39] !vinagre [00:39] Sorry, I don't know anything about vinagre [00:39] is there someone that has deleted windows from the comp completly and is now using only ubuntu? [00:39] hey guys [00:39] Guest94778: i believe that's what it's called [00:39] azlx: yes, i did [00:39] hey Predator106 i totally understand that, i had the same problem [00:39] i need help doing just that. [00:39] i couldnt find one "not even nexus" fast enough to compete with rdp [00:39] does anyone know what is a good c++ compiler for ububtu? [00:39] guest, i was thinking the same thing [00:39] IntuitiveNipple: ok i thought so, but all the software so far had either no effect or disabled colour commands (Ekiga, camstream, ...) [00:40] MidnightDevil: Really? [00:40] MidnightDevil: God, that sucks, I can't go back to windows on that server [00:40] FrozenFire, gcc [00:40] yeap, i tried several vnc versions but the closest one was nexus [00:40] and stg [00:40] thanks 97778 [00:40] still, rdp is a LOT faster ansd [00:40] mickybadia: test the cam with gstreamer-properties then Video tab, and test (V4L2 source) [00:40] MidnightDevil, did you try tightvnc [00:40] yeap, all vnc versions were left behind [00:41] like i said, nexus went close, but not even that close [00:41] MidnightDevil: aw. Were they even faster than LogMeIn? [00:41] Hello [00:41] MidnightDevil: \Have you used logmein [00:41] slight problem here, no music files seem to want to play anymore [00:41] i did, but not for that circunstances :) i dont find it that fast [00:41] is web based for a start [00:41] MidnightDevil: ah, ok [00:41] MidnightDevil: yea [00:41] Will Intrepid be much more stable in 20 days' time? Because I need an OS for my USB stick and Hardy hasn't been working well. [00:41] IntuitiveNipple: well it does the TV-no-signal screen thing fine [00:41] Not as a liveusb, anyway [00:42] can someone please help me get this GCC installed on my linux im very new here [00:42] I don't want to waste a load of bandwidth, mind. [00:42] IntuitiveNipple: "fine" meant I think that is what you are supposed to see :) [00:42] mickybadia: How does the camera output look? [00:42] we just hope with time to have better remote desktop clients for linux :) [00:42] mickybadia: Sometimes the uvcvideo driver takes control of the camera rather than r5u870, so you have to unload both modules then reload r5u870 first [00:43] #c++ [00:43] oops [00:43] MidnightDevil, how did you run an rdp server on ubuntu? [00:43] MidnightDevil:I hope they can improve VNC or something... [00:43] u dont Guest22484, not the same as windows [00:43] mickybadia: Alex is working on merging r5u870 into uvcvideo, the biggest challenge is sorting out the firmware loader and non-UVC controls [00:43] where do i get ubuntu 8.10 intrepid ibex? the links there don't work. [00:43] In ekiga it is quite good but very red, in gqcam it is bad, in camstream also [00:43] Predator106, yeah, vnc would be great cause its already "there" as comercial and domestic product [00:43] MidnightDevil, but there is RDP client for Ubuntu. no server? [00:43] but nexus was the fastest one i tried [00:43] MidnightDevil: yeah, okay [00:43] IntuitiveNipple: missed you name, see two lines above [00:44] MidnightDevil: thanks [00:44] Guest22484, a client is easier to built than a server i guess, u have similarities, try Nexus [00:44] mickybadia: do the driver unload thing I suggested, in case uvcvideo is handling the cam [00:44] we have multi protocol clients, just not fast enough servers for rdp alike protocols [00:44] prickpocket:update-manager -d, if you want to try that in a terminal [00:44] no.. nevermind.. it's working now [00:45] IntuitiveNipple: yes just seen it, i'd seen the other before and left it on purpose i thought i needed both, just a sec [00:45] prickpocket, you can upgrade 8.04 "updatemanager -d" [00:45] noo.. it's still beta [00:45] hi there [00:45] for me 8.10 is better than 8.04 [00:45] prickpocket: It comes out like the 31st this month [00:45] i'm trying because of issues with realtek 8111/8168 [00:45] 8.10 is much better [00:46] Too bad 8.10 doesn't have a kubuntu version [00:46] im afraid trying 8.10 [00:46] prickpocket:actually 8.10 is out on Oct, 10 [00:46] wish KDE would synchronize with GNOME and Ubuntu's release schedules [00:46] i never liked kde ;P [00:46] What's better about 8.10?

[00:51] IntuitiveNipple: i think so..what worked for me was i modified a file.. cant remember by adding VMhost or group persmissions so my usb can be used .. i just did it and didnt book mark the link i need to go back and re read it [00:51] so whoever said tightvnc isn't slow is wrong [00:51] well, i dont know how, and i want someone with more knowledge than i.

I may have found a way to do it with a USB drive though. [03:47] venkat_partha, it is, firestarter is just a gui. it controls the firewall called iptables [03:47] xTheGoat121x, well I guess that fixes it. [03:47] @ airtonix: and pigdin to be available to every user who logs on. [03:47] hi guys, each time I restart my computer I have to set my eth0 manually with ifconfig, how can I get this to be set each time on boot?

[03:47] venkat_partha, have you put pidgin in the session list? [03:47] demism, I don't think you necessarily can, but you can set a profile in the network manager. [03:47] merula, I hope so. [03:47] goodbye all [03:47] merula: already done [03:48] @ airtonix: well I did not know that. So Firestarter is the GUI for iptables. :-D [03:48] Hi all: What to do when I can't empty the trash bin, some files are still there and there's this message that says "permission denied" [03:48] demism, well, if you find out, I'd sure like to know -- I can't do it myself. [03:48] venkat_partha, yep, everysingle firewall gui you see for ubuntu is almost always going to be a frontend. [03:48] Joelito, apparently, there are some root-owned files in there [03:48] Hi guys - I just moved my root partition from an LVM to an LVM on top of software RAID, and the system hangs while waiting for root fs. How can I diagnose? I was just in a Live CD and everything looks OK in there. Is it likely to be related to initramfs? [03:49] Joelito, you'll have to use terminal to do a sudoed recursive rm * in the trash/Files folder. [03:49] @airtonix: no did not have pidgin program in the list. am adding that now. Thanks for clearing up that. I thought firestarter was a firewall itself. [03:49] Unknown command, try @list [03:49] merula: I'll just run a boot script to do it for me.

[03:49] KDE4000: #ubuntu+1 would be the place to ask that. [03:49] venkat_partha, nope, it may appear to be because of certain wording in the app itself, but its just a interface...iptables is horrid to learn directly [03:50] Joelito, um... it's in the .local folder in your home directory... somewhere >.< [03:50] !trash | Joelito [03:50] Joelito: The location of Trash has changed in 8.04, it is now located in ~/.local/share/Trash | Looking for the trash in previous versions: ~/.Trash [03:50] @ airtonix: have tried to do that too. got lost in between. :D [03:50] Flannel: I wish there was some way, when the kernel stops, to find out about the environment - what is loaded, what it can see etc. [03:50] Joelito, try this is in the terminal : locate Trash [03:50] oh :) [03:51] yeah, thanks to all :) [03:51] is in ~/.local/share/Trash [03:51] venkat_partha, ufw is a good terminal based iptables frontend, i recommend it if your going to need to control a ubuntu server that has no screen or desktop enviroment [03:51] is there a gnome util that monitors heat of cpu/mobo?

[03:52] thanks [03:52] Joelito, in previous versions of ubuntu, the Trash folder was also found at ~/.Trash... also if you were to unmount a usb drive without emptying th trash...those drives would have their own trash folder for files deleted on those drives...i think they were something ".Trash-username" [03:53] hello everyone good moring [03:53] opticalmouse: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/WPAHowTo#Avoiding%20password%20nagging [03:53] airtonix: let me check [03:53] thanks flannel [03:54] opticalmouse, now you wont know if a malicous script is running stuff as sudo :) [03:54] opticalmouse: Actually, wait up on that.

[04:05] http://:901 [04:05] or http://localhost:901 ? [04:05] does that give you a 404 by itself? [04:06] Guest77299: or is there a particular set of links that are giving a constant 404? [04:06] Gnea, the main page works, but any of the links fail [04:06] Guest77299: which ones?

For installation help, please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FrostWire [04:13] zen_: cat /proc/version gives you the current kernel version - 2.6.24-21 is the latest with hardy [04:13] but I also have had bad luck with sound on Ubuntu [04:13] hetao ni hoa ye su eye kneed [04:13] <3 [04:13] Gnea, uname -r [04:13] zen_: it's not an edition, it's a kernel.

[04:14] whats the command line to remove applications [04:14] apt-get remove [04:14] i think... [04:14] if it is a package [04:14] apt-get | dude [04:14] zen_: do you speak chinese? [04:14] !apt-get | dude [04:14] dude: APT is the Advanced Package Tool, which together with dpkg forms the basic Ubuntu package management toolkit. Short apt-get manual: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptGetHowto - Also see !Synaptic (Gnome) or !Adept (KDE) [04:14] i's no need to delete it?

[04:15] 看起来太复杂 [04:15] 哈哈 [04:15] !cn | zen_ [04:15] zen_: For Ubuntu help in Chinese 您可以访问中文频道: #ubuntu-cn 或者 #ubuntu-tw 或者 #ubuntu-hk [04:15] dude, sudo apt-get remove package-name [04:15] 怎么进去阿 [04:15] omg. I had to close my browser [04:15] how lame [04:15] airstrike, invalid operation damn! [04:15] zen_: they might be able to help you out a bit easier in there - but yeah, you shouldn't have to worry about removing the kernel [04:16] Guest77299: yes. [04:16] So new question, why does Firefox "hijack" my sound? [04:16] limewire is reboting my computer [04:16] i wanna remove it! [04:16] detox187, normal xchat -> xchat menu -> network List -> add button [04:16] dude, what command did you enter? [04:16] I have a lot of good things [04:16] Gnea, I just relized that my name got changed!!! [04:16] incompelete [04:16] 进ubuntu-cn吗? /join #ubuntu-cn [04:16] lol [04:16] that would be alsa and pulseaudio fighting for your sound card binspace [04:16] binspace: because you either a) have a half-duplex soundcard, or b) you're running pulseaudio [04:16] sudo apt-get remove limeiwre [04:16] oops [04:17] sudo apt-get remove limewire [04:17] !info limewire [04:17] Package limewire does not exist in hardy [04:17] unfortunately though pulseaudio is required to run in hardy [04:17] i dident think limewire was in the repos. [04:17] they wrose a lot of money [04:17] frostwire [04:17] !frostwire [04:17] frostwire is a totally open source version of Limewire. For installation help, please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FrostWire [04:17] ive downloaded it a few minutes ago man [04:17] !frostwire [04:17] dude, if you dident use the package manager to install it.. then you cant remove it with the package manager.. unless of course you dd download a .deb :) [04:17] dude, what did you download? [04:18] ok, thanks. bummer [04:18] I lived in Kunming Yunna of china [04:18] thank you [04:18] zen_: cheers [04:18] 昆明现在冷么? [04:18] detox187, i dont use xchat-gnome i use the normal 'xchat' program. xcvhat-gnome has a totally different gui. and everyone seems to hate it. [04:18] bartonexdu: please stop that. [04:18] zen_, just use tab to complete nick names. you dont have to copy/paste [04:18] hi, would you confirm that a brand new laptop that lets you see the glxgears turn gently is not running up to its hardware capacities, or have the gears changed in the years? [04:18] Sorry [04:18] it's not too cold [04:19] my Xfce desktop seems to have disappeared on me...... any way to restart it?? === freaky_t is now known as fReAky_t [04:19] basti, i got the .deb man [04:19] alt ctrl backspace [04:19] mickybadia, dependign on the FPS the gears are moving at.. they could look like they are standing still. [04:19] dude, dpkg -r limewire [04:19] is there an easy way to just install xchat? i downloaded the tar and managed to unpack it but some error about compiling it when following their instructions [04:19] sudo [04:19] im somewhat new to linux [04:20] apt-get install xchat [04:20] sudo [04:20] damn [04:20] mickybadia, you did install the proper drivers for full 3d ussage of your video card? What fps is the program saying you are getting. [04:20] basti, it requires a super user level [04:20] oh yeah stupid me, it's around 700, is that good? [04:20] detox187, install xchat from the repositories [04:20] detox187: no need to install the tar, ubuntu has its own set of preset packages [04:20] man, you can find it at [04:20] how to view ym webcam on ubuntu ? [04:20] mickybadia, with glxgears you cant really tell jack from fps [04:20] mickybadia, depends on your video card :) [04:20] mickybadia, i get 500 here [04:20] dr_Willis: that is actually what i'm concerned about, i want to check that [04:20] system/administration/synaptic package manager [04:20] detox187: just click on applications->add/remove programs and search for it [04:20] dude, sudo [04:20] mickybadia, on intel graphics card [04:20] ah, i tried the apt get earlier and it didn't work but now it is [04:20] mickybadia, see what 'driver' the xorg.conf is using.. and if its proper for your video card's 3d ussage. [04:21] I am a good progmarg , I can make C# code [04:21] anyone know how to restart my Xfce? [04:21] Mr_Fixit, just logout/restart X - is the easy way. === fReAky_t is now known as freaky_t [04:21] hetao: what sort of programs can you make? [04:21] dr_Willis: i did and it is kind of empty, i'm sure i need a specific driver [04:21] dr_Willis, still not working... even restarted [04:21] detox187, if it didnt work the very first time you tried using it it's most probably because you didnt update the package list [04:21] mickybadia, and your video card is a? [04:21] basti, it aint workin man, can you give me a complete line? [04:22] dr_Willis: yes i am copy-pasting the lspci and stuff for you to see [04:22] Mr_Fixit, so tell the channel exaxctly whats 'not working' [04:22] !pastebin | mickybadia [04:22] mickybadia: 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) === jeeves is now known as Guest91575 [04:22] mickybadia, no big sticker on the laptop saying what video card it has eh? [04:22] Looking at the initrd on my system, it contains busybox - so I wonder why I am not getting a shell when it fails to find the root fs? [04:22] ive installed lime by the pack installer [04:22] dude, sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install xchat [04:22] i have absolutely no desktop... a plain blue screen which i cannot even right click on Dr_willis_ [04:22] dude, go to frostwire.com download the latest .deb file to your desktop then on terminal sudo dpkg -i ~/Desktop/frostwire* [04:22] Gnea, ok, I now have the docs installed, but I'm lost as to how to admin the actual shares with it [04:22] I can make asp.net web with C# and PHP + mysql+linux [04:23] Dr_willis_, i have the menu bars... but nothing from my desktop [04:23] usser, im getting it [04:23] dude, if the package isnt called exactly 'xchat', then you can find out by using : apt-cache search xchat [04:23] Mr_Fixit, thats interesting.. you could try creating a new user. and see if it works for them.. If it does.. then it would seem that your 'broken users' settings got messed up badly [04:23] Guest91575: for that, you should ask in #samba [04:23] ah great [04:23] anybody know why I cant highlight text in firefox (ie. select it) [04:23] Gnea, thanks [04:23] will try Dr_willis_ [04:23] Mr_Fixit, sounds like part of xfce is either crashing, or not starting. [04:23] !who | hetao [04:23] hetao: 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 :) [04:23] yea.. well it's a new server install... so hopefully it's nothing too big [04:24] dude, dpkg -S limewire [04:24] forstwire is workin [04:24] that will give you the package name [04:24] I am very sorry [04:24] How would I go about determining where windows is installed, so I can point GRUB in the correct direction for loading it? [04:24] zyrorl: what program do you recommend that I use to listen to mp3's with Firefox open? [04:25] !tab [04:25] You can use for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. [04:25] is alsa or pulseaudio better? [04:25] ok Dr_willis_ it works with another user..... [04:25] xTheGoat121x, 'sudo fdisk -l' look to see what partitions its isntalled to.. for starters. [04:25] its not going man [04:25] !tab hello [04:25] Sorry, I don't know anything about tab hello [04:25] airtonix: i asked him [04:25] Dr_willis_, aha! There's what I was missing.. the 'sudo' before fdisk [04:25] Thanks! [04:25] Mr_Fixit, well a easy fix would be to remove the various xfce setting files.. that would force xfce to reset to defaults. [04:25] xTheGoat121x, yep.. i see that happen all the time. [04:26] hetao: you should hang out in #apache and #php as well, there's always people looking for help in there [04:26] how do i do that Dr_willis_ [04:26] Mr_Fixit, i would go to the console, login as that user. and remove/move any directories that look like xfce settings.. I dont use xfce so dont know the names. [04:27] ubottu hello best wishes for you.... [04:27] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [04:27] completely wipe out Xfce? like in /etc/? [04:27] or just settings? [04:27] Mr_Fixit, No... your USERS HOME DIRECTORY [04:27] yea ok [04:27] what syntax do I use to sort the who command through pipeline? [04:27] usser: you have an Intel graph card [04:27] Mr_Fixit, removing 'xfce' from the system would not remove the users settings... [04:27] | [04:27] ok [04:27] Gnea thank you [04:28] mickybadia, yes [04:28] hetao: cheers [04:28] Nycherson, tool1 | tool2 [04:28] Nycherson, who | sort ? [04:28] Gnea I like help everone [04:28] Dr_willis_, ah, well... I'm not quite sure that's giving me all the info I need... [04:28] Well after sort it requires a filename [04:29] but I don't want to sort a file, I want to sort my who results [04:29] how do i uninstall limewire? [04:29] xTheGoat121x, theres a example entry in menu.lst for booting windows from the first partition of the fiurst hd.. you could alwyas try it.. and change the #'s around till it works [04:29] !who|hetao [04:29] hetao, please see my private message [04:29] Nycherson, i just ran : "who | sort" and it did not require a filename [04:29] hetao: well, you can't always help everyone, but you can make an impact :) [04:29] Dr_willis_, oh, there is! It pays to read the comments, LoL [04:29] Would you normally expect that if the system can't find the root FS mount, it would drop into busybox? [04:30] VSpike: when that happens, it usually panics and freezes [04:30] that 's good idea [04:30] dude: in terminal try sudo apt-get remove limewire or open synaptic and look for limewire and remove it that way [04:30] Gnea: yeah - not very helpful. A busybox shell would be real nice right now :) [04:30] legend2440, its not in the repos [04:31] mickybadia, yep thats the one [04:31] Gnea: busybox is in the initramfs so it should be possible [04:31] VSpike: if the kernel had an FS to load it from :) [04:31] dude, again ... like i mentioned earlier...if a package isnt named as you expect it to be then you can search with : apt-cache search keyword [04:31] Gnea: it does - initramfs :) [04:31] VSpike: maybe... [04:31] at the terminal hes not finding limewire man, and the synap, there is no lime [04:31] usser: what driver do you have? [04:31] dude, dpkg -S limewire [04:31] basti i thought he said he installed limewire with a deb file [04:31] mickybadia, its intel [04:32] legend2440, this des not affect apt-get [04:32] usser: can you send me the "device" section [04:32] airstrike, thx [04:32] hetao: please /join #ubuntu-offtopic, don't PM me [04:32] dude: you can search limewire like this # which limeware [04:32] IF no result, it means you type the wrong name [04:32] Ok well I guess sort isn't working the way I want... I need to get it so it does not repeat data if someone's logged in more than once. How do I that? [04:32] airstrike, its is limewire-basic [04:33] mickybadia, the thing is, ubuntu doesnt really rely on xorg.conf anymore, my device section has one line that says Identifier "Configured Video Device" [04:33] Nycherson, ok notice when you run who, it shows how each user is logged in ? ie tty pts etc ? [04:33] thanks guys i really like you for real, thx a lot! [04:33] airstrike, yes I do [04:33] usser: yeah me too, how does it work then? where does it get its stuff? [04:33] join #ubuntu-offtopic [04:33] And what if we modify the .conf?? [04:33] Nycherson, im thinking maybe you can use those words with grep to list only the relevant users [04:34] Hey I just put my webcam on ubuntu hefty, and when I use it on a webcam chat site (stickam), it is realllly zoomed in, is there a config to fix this? [04:34] the new kernel for linux is like to ubuntu now? [04:34] hetao: forward slash must be added [04:34] airtonix, yeah that's got to be the way. So what's an example with grep to make it only list pts/1 ? [04:34] Ok, I'm on You tube and I cannot get video on Wubi.....Do I have to quit? [04:35] Nycherson, btw tab completion makes it easier to enter names properly. if my nick is entered properly then i can pick out your msgs from the haystakc here much easier [04:35] haystack* [04:35] mickybadia, i really dont know but i know one thing. i dont like it... starting to look more and more like windows way of doing things where u dont even have control of whats happening in the system [04:35] Nycherson, basically : who | grep pts/1 [04:35] Dr_willis_, okay, I set it up to boot to (0,2) and now... I get a warning about NTLDR Missing [04:36] Ok, never mind. It is a hurdle. [04:36] xTheGoat121x, last i saw that sort of message, i had to boot a windows cd, and use the 'fixboot' command.. be carefull - it miught overright grub. [04:36] xTheGoat121x, u prbly wiped the file thne [04:36] Nycherson, but i cant really tes this out since on mys system im only logged in via tty and pts/0...noone else [04:36] mickybadia, try to enable compiz if it works you're all set [04:36] usser: well there must be some place to look for the driver!! otherwise i call it Windows indeed [04:36] HI Jason [04:36] usser: oh compizfusion is already working, with little bugs like the rain and stuff i won't use anyway [04:37] Dr_willis_, dang, I've been trying to recover GRUB all night! [04:37] airtonix, that worked, thanks so much [04:37] mickybadia, then you're fine [04:37] xTheGoat121x, ntloader missing.. is not a grub issue. :) getting TO that point was however.. [04:37] mickybadia, intel driver is opensource and doesnt really require any tweaking [04:37] usser: well some apps with graphics are very slow and should not be [04:37] Nycherson, try that tutorial site i linked before i thnks its a great set of examples on how to use bash. here it is again : http://www.tech-recipes.com/category/computer-programming/unix-shell-scripting/bourne-shell-scripting/ [04:37] Dr_willis_, *sigh* Kay [04:37] I'll get this right. [04:38] mickybadia, which ones? [04:39] mickybadia, do glxinfo | grep renderer [04:39] usser: i was trying to launch scorched3d, and it crashed, I tried the SAFE options and it went very slow [04:39] mickybadia, should say something like Mesa DRI Intel [04:39] mickybadia, disable compiz with 3d games it helps [04:39] mickybadia: Which graphics card is this? [04:40] soreau: Intel Corporation Mobile PM965/GM965/GL960 [04:40] mickybadia: And what does 'glxinfo|grep direct' say? [04:41] soreau: says yes [04:41] was 8.10 rc1 supposed to be rlsed yesteryda? [04:41] Ven]n, no october 30 [04:41] mickybadia: So the problem is this game crashes? [04:41] How can I find all regular files in my home directory that have the execute bit set for others, using the "find" command? [04:41] usser, isnt that final? [04:42] Ven]n, oh didnt see rc1 there [04:42] :) [04:42] One day before haloween, it will be crazy spam on irc [04:42] nickserv identify dw91505 [04:42] rekursive, nice [04:42] nice one [04:42] rekursive, password: [04:42] rekursive: Might want to change your password now [04:42] oh [04:42] lol [04:42] heh [04:42] hehe [04:43] so.. i thought there was a rc1 that should come out 10th of oct.. [04:43] soreau: yes, or when i click on the SAFE options (reduce 3d and heavy rendering stuff), it is too slow IMO [04:43] did it? [04:44] mickybadia: sounds like a problem with what the game is demanding and your system (graphics card and driver) [04:45] My question is about gnome-panel's power add-on. I installed ubuntu hardy on a desktop, and it installed a power monitor, now I can't get it off of the panel [04:45] Ven]n, its kinda hard to tell, i dont think canonical even distinguishes between betas and rc's all i got was a bunch of updates, so much for rc [04:45] soreau: actually the whole system crashes, not just the game [04:45] hmm [04:45] mickybadia: Yea, that sucks. It may be a problem with the game, your graphics driver version, or both [04:45] usser: how do you easily disable compiz and then switch back to previous desktop settings? [04:45] my mouse has a hard time landing on the tabs or anything i want to click on? can any one help me? please. [04:46] mickybadia, try increasing amount of memory the dedicated to the card in bios [04:46] mickybadia, i do it manually [04:46] mickybadia: Ah, running compiz? [04:46] mickybadia, theres a neat little app called fusion-icon [04:46] mickybadia: Sys>Prefs>Appearance>Visual Effects < None [04:47] usser: You don't need fusion-icon in ubuntu though it can be convenient [04:47] soreau: yes, i should try without [04:47] mickybadia: Yes, first thing [04:47] !ppa [04:47] With Launchpad's Personal Package Archives (PPA), you can build and publish binary Ubuntu packages for multiple architectures simply by uploading an Ubuntu source package to Launchpad. See https://help.launchpad.net/PPAQuickStart. [04:48] usser: in the BIOS?? === jeeves is now known as Guest18281 [04:48] how can I find out why I can't log in with the root account into SWAT? [04:48] mickybadia, yes, intel graphics is built in to motherboard and uses main memory amount of which u can control [04:49] usser: oh [04:49] usser: how do I know how much is set now? [04:49] anyone else have a .rnd in their / ? [04:49] how ofent is the beta version of 8.10 updated on the ubuntu website? [04:49] is there some other place one downloads newest? [04:50] mickybadia, hm from within ubuntu? i dont know [04:50] usser: so with the icon thing (which i have just installed) i just have to select Metacity and then back to fusion? [04:50] mickybadia: Try something like 'grep -i gart /var/log/Xorg.0.log' [04:50] Ven]n, the isos on ubuntu.com are daily builds [04:50] mickybadia, yes [04:51] mickybadia: Use metacity, then test the game again [04:51] usser, cool [04:52] soreau: usser: yeah, i asked just to be sure, as if it crashes again you know.... [04:52] have they changed design stuff in 8.10 ? [04:52] design 'stuff'? [04:52] heh [04:53] layout, colors.. prettier gnome [04:53] I have no idea. What say it Ibex testers? [04:53] Hello [04:53] I am having troubles when I try to install a firewall across several automated scripts (arno-iptables-firewall, shorewall...). In some cases appears to be missing ip_conntrack among others. I can only establish a light security with basic commands of iptables ... [04:53] yo akafurious [04:54] hey [04:54] Does anybody has a reference/guide what can or can not be done? [04:54] does anyone know if theres a way to use mouse gestures in nautilus ? [04:54] Ven]n, no it pretty much looks the same [04:55] Ven]n, file manager now has tabs!!! how freaking awesome is that? :) [04:55] for sata hdds, is there a way to assign specific /dev/sdX nodes to specific drives? or is that all randomly controlled by the bios/boot? [04:55] usser, thunar has had tabs from day one i believe [04:56] maybe i should do apt-get dist-upgrade [04:56] airtonix, thunar has it? didnt know that, i thought thunar was just lightweight nautilus [04:56] nxmehta, ubuntu assigns the names in order ie sata0 get sda sata1 sdb etc [04:57] nxmehta, usually [04:57] !ibex [04:57] Intrepid Ibex is the code name for Ubuntu 8.10, due October 30th, 2008 - Warning lots of broken software between now and October 30th! - Use #ubuntu+1 for support, *NOT* #ubuntu [04:57] hai guys,if i plug in my thumbdrive i got a message like this" invalid mount option when attemping to mount volume === julio is now known as J-C-M [04:58] usser: is there a way to switch the order around? like assign sata0 to sdb instead of sda? [04:58] nxmehta, not that i know of [04:58] what package installs vimdiff? [04:59] whats the minimalist installation of java? [04:59] nxmehta, why would you want to do that? [04:59] how do i get the terminal on my background in the pic? http://img.4chan.org/b/src/1223691778311.png [05:00] oh [05:00] vim [05:00] got it [05:00] anyone good with sound? I seem to have a flaky 64 bit system [05:01] where the sound sometimes works and sometimes doesn't [05:01] basti: it's not particularly necessary (i mount using UUIDs), i was mainly curious [05:01] RonzO: it is just a transparent term with no decorations [05:01] RonzO: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/howto-create-a-transparent-terminal-in-ubuntu-desktop.html [05:01] maltron: we all have that, it's called Pulseaudio, and it was a poor decision to include it in Hardy [05:02] basti: it's mainly because i have 10 hdds in hotswap cages and it's such a pain to figure out what hdd is which because all the names are out of order [05:02] carpediem: so can I turf it or do I have to wait for Intrepid [05:02] ? [05:02] linny: that isn't the same thing [05:02] hi [05:03] maltron: eh, well, I'm not sure the answer. When my sound stops working, I do "killall pulseaudio" and it usually starts working again. If flash is your issue, install libflashsupport [05:04] bruenig: sure it is he just needs to remove the window border aswell [05:04] Does anyone know what to put for crontab to run once a day until the remainder of the month? [05:04] RonzO, that is most likley done with xterm and devilspie [05:04] whats the minimalist package of java? [05:04] RonzO: give tilda a try, it' [05:04] man crontab will give examples [05:04] bungieQord, nice gnome-applet for editin cron...called gnome-schedule [05:04] carpedeum: doesn't seem to do anything for me... but I think my issues are a bit deeper - I had problems before hardy, and I suspect it's partially hardware related too [05:05] bruenig: i didnt realise it didnt tell you how to in that tut ronzo just give it a google theres 100s of tuts [05:05] carpedeum: it's probably time I just got a new motherboard [05:05] can anyone suggest if there's a good alternative other than wine (other than cedega and codeweaver) [05:05] carpedeum: or maybe try fedora on my home syster [05:05] system [05:06] maltron: hmmm, I doubt you need a new motherboard if it works some of the time [05:06] maltron: may be worth trying other options in the Preferences > Sound dialog [05:07] hey does anyone know the terminal commands for updating java to the current version and also checking the current version? [05:07] tyso1: there's lots of different java versions available on Ubuntu. Are you looking at sun java? [05:07] tyso1, java -version [05:07] jre [05:07] tyso1: java -version [05:08] carpedeum: well it's a bit confusing - I used to have issues because I have a SB card installed on a Via mb with inbuilt sound (which never seemed to work) and there appeared to be conflicts, and I went through a whole bunch of stuff to get that working. Hardy seems to have _partially_ fixed that, but now I sometimes have issues with mplayer - _sometimes_ I have to use -ao alsa, but if I reboot I might not have to. Tuxguitar [05:08] worked two days ago, but now no sound. It's all over the place. I have tried different switches but to no avail [05:09] thanks guys [05:09] On older versions of Ubuntu it was possible to change your machine's name by going to System->Administration->Network. In Intrepid, that's apparently gone. Anyone have any ideas how I can do this without having to resort to the command-line method? [05:09] do you guys know of a simple game creator for ubuntu, like game maker? [05:09] tyso1: if you've installed multiple versions, you can run "sudo update-alternatives --list java" to show those available. Then you can do "sudo update-alternatives --set java someversion" to set it [05:09] vbman11, try blender at blender.org [05:10] carpediem : thank you! [05:10] ljsoftnet: blender is a model creator, not a game creator [05:10] maltron: that's similar to issues I've seen with pulseaudio. Bad news for you though, I think fedora uses pulseaudio to. [05:10] vbman11, blender has a game engine you can build with games, just look for the game feature on the website [05:11] vbman11, it also has a game creation mode. [05:11] vbman11, but its not what i would call simple [05:12] carpedeum: yeah, I guess I'm just screwed then! Well, only a month or so to wait for intrepid. Is it a bad idea to upgrade early? Should be reasonably stable now, shouldn't it? This is just a home machine, so I don't need it to be ultra stable. [05:12] carpediem: i have had to remove pulseaudio and install esd for audio on my eeepc to work properly [05:12] How do I change my dns and default gateway in ubuntu? [05:12] via the CLI [05:12] i have a problem that when compiz is enabled, i can use Ctrl+F1 and Ctrl+F2 to switch between desktops 1 and 2 respectively, however, Ctrl+F3 and Ctrl+F4 do not work even though i have 4 desktops. i had this problem in KDE where i could only access 1&2 when compiz is enabled [05:12] outbackwifi: maybe explain to maltron how to do that [05:12] is there some way around this so that i can still keep compiz running? [05:12] tyso1: Blender is not a "simple game creator", it is an extremely powerful and professional modeler, and a complex and still immature game builder. It's not a "throw a generic game together in a week" type program [05:12] outbackwifi: yes, that would be appreciated! [05:13] MiddleOfNowhere: edit /etc/network/interfaces [05:13] ty outbackwifi [05:13] MiddleOfNowhere: edit /etc/network/interterfaces? [05:13] deadsouls, have you tried installing compizconfig-settings-manager? and playing that ? [05:13] how do you save in that one text editor? [05:14] the text editor that you have to :quit! to quit without saving [05:14] hi everyone [05:14] bungieQord, more information please :) [05:14] bungieQord: in vi? :w and :q to quit [05:14] jim_p, yes vi thx [05:15] maltron: sudo apt-get remove pulseaudio [05:15] airtonix: yea... anything simpler like 2d? [05:15] is there a better looking panel that i can use to replace the gnome-panels on my desktop screen? [05:15] carpediem: i am trying to download the xvm virtual box and it says i need the current version of java to do this. do you have any suggestions? [05:15] maltron: sudo apt-get install esd [05:15] do you know whre i can find some ubuntu themes wallpapers? [05:15] outbackwifi: and then presumably sudo apt-get install esd? [05:16] can someone tell me, how to rename a complete filename from lowercase to uppercase? [05:16] dude, gnome-look.org has some [05:16] outbackwifi: ah [05:16] ooh? [05:16] brb [05:16] outbackwifi: thanks, I'll try that out [05:16] tyso1: well, I would go into synaptic and search "sun java" and install the latest [05:16] basti theres a dozen 'ways' to do that. :) most are little scripts. [05:16] dr_Willis, thx man [05:16] Dr_willis_, one way is enough for me [05:16] outbackwifi: Sorry to but in without knowing the context but why are you suggesting installing esd? [05:16] apathadeus: awn if you look for something dock like. if you want somethink minimalistic (minimised windows only) use tint2 [05:16] tyso1: then I would do that update-alternatives command I gave earlier [05:16] dude, gnome-look.org there's a ton of wallpapers there [05:16] vbman11, there is...i remember something to do with python... [05:16] basti a quick google should find several scripts to do that.. and the 'advanced bash scripting' guide also have example scripts that do it.. [05:16] * outbackwifi is on a smartphone irc client [05:17] basti the thing to watch out for is spaces in the filenames.. that can ause issues [05:17] carpediem: thanks again [05:17] Ok so I type "crontab -e" and I want to use "0 13 1 9 * who | grep pts/1 >> /usr/bin" as my crontab code... Do I just paste that line into crontab -e and save it? [05:17] dude, and also themes, just download and drag it to Appearance window [05:17] Help. The keyboard settings for my X seems to go haywire. How do I set it up to use the same layout as tty? Is it safe to just delete the layout options? [05:17] ljsoftnet, thx man [05:18] anybody here [05:18] dude, ok no problem [05:18] basti http://pastebin.com/f39e79363 [05:18] is one script (with 2 ways shown) [05:18] what [05:18] !ask | shazi [05:18] shazi: Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-) [05:19] thx will [05:19] what is the panel being used in http://bp2.blogger.com/_PqI9QqUU5zo/RtKrhJ7e_fI/AAAAAAAAAx8/Iu73_T8LF4g/s1600-h/compiz+terminal.jpg [05:19] on the top i mean [05:19] basti the 'qmv' command is also handy for fancy renaming tasks. :) [05:19] will take a look at it ^ [05:19] that was a nice desktop [05:20] apathadeus: Looks like the top is just a themed gnome-panel, the dock may be AWN [05:20] I am running a live thumbdrive of the latest beta (dl it today) and when it booted, it said it couldn't figure out some USB device. It started beeping at me (motherboard/pc speaker) but it eventually booted [05:20] xaxxon: #ubuntu+1 for intrepid [05:20] apathadeus: the top panel is gnome panel set not to expand [05:20] now I'm trying to shutdown (restart) and it is beeping forever on shutdown [05:20] Jordan_U: ? [05:20] ahh i see [05:20] apathadeus, do you know how to get an embedded terminal like he uses?

[05:43] bungieQord: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=786403 [05:43] BunTai--> so your pc still works after swapping cables?

[05:45] hi - at the bottom of the screen I only have the applications shown that are running in "that" desktop and not what is running in the other 3 desktops - how to get to show all.. so that when i click on the appl the cube rotates to the correct desktop [05:45] is it possible to have a while for loop? [05:46] frybye, i belive the 'task manager' applet has a option to show all desktop apps, or just current desktop apps.. [05:46] bruenig but it wont go to the desktop or to login page [05:47] tyso1, im not registered so write here [05:48] Dr_willis_: eh - is there a place in the gui to config this..? [05:48] im on vista by the way, since i couldnt get linux to boot up [05:48] BunTai--> your sister type this, ifconfig -a and paste it on pastebin [05:49] ok wait [05:49] frybye, try right clicking on the panel task manager applet. Im not in gnome right now- so cant check. [05:51] Dr_willis_: that was the first thing i tried.. cant find any reference to this there - under properties for instance... [05:51] she's give up [05:51] brb [05:51] chetnick, well, running through webmin, I can make the share, but when I try to log into it, I get bad user/pass [05:51] bungieQord: are you trying to see if there are file or folders that are owned by others than yourself? [05:51] BunTai--> let me check your sister, oops i meant check your sisters pc :) [05:51] is there a software i can use to make a recovery disc of my current system? [05:51] anyone who is using utorrent simply for its scheduling and wants to get this working in transmission let me know [05:52] the problem is the wired connection [05:52] anyone know what xserver-xgl really do to the xserver? I feel speed boost using it [05:52] strange [05:52] but I can't use nvidia-settings [05:52] it cant connect to internet [05:52] BunTai--> is her pc getting an ip address? [05:52] is there a software i can use to make a recovery disc of my current system? [05:53] pen, of course u do cause when u run xgl your desktop is handled by videocard which is doing what it does best render stuff [05:53] she's shut down the pc [05:53] bungieQord: are you trying to see if there are file or folders that are owned by others than yourself in your home directory?

[05:53] usser, then why bother restricted driver? [05:53] usser, if xgl can speed up [05:53] RickZilla: try out irssi [05:54] RickZilla, you should try out different irc clients [05:55] apathadeus, have you checked out the docs on help.ubuntu.com/community ? [05:55] pen, xgl is not a driver, its an application for X that allows you to run compiz on cards that dont support it. [05:55] pen, restricted driver lets you run compiz without xgl [05:55] yes [05:56] maybe i wasn't looking in the right places [05:57] apathadeus, proly but i havent found much detailed info one this either...i did however find a nice diagram explaining the generic purpose behind each system level folders in unix...see if i can dig it up. === PoisonArrow is now known as Anti-Christ [05:57] that would be awesome === mad is now known as madlewzr [05:58] Anti-Christ: he he.. wierd name! [05:58] usser, but then xgl is better than nvidia driver....haha [05:58] I downloaded ipw210011.2.0tgz. Can someone tell me how to run it?

If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-) [06:00] nydoc, what version of ubuntu are u using? [06:00] nydoc: you don't need to download it. The ipw2100 module is provided for you by default. [06:00] well for starters you don't want to use /who on this network :P [06:00] tritium, ipw is gone from hard [06:00] tritium, hardy* [06:00] when play XVID mpeg4 i get compression artifacts every once in a while. is there a way to reduce that? [06:00] apathadeus, but back to finding this image i mentioned... [06:00] usser: no it's not [06:00] i've got a grub error 17 [06:00] /lib/modules/2.6.24-19-generic/kernel/drivers/usb/serial/ipw.ko [06:00] /lib/modules/2.6.24-19-generic/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/ipw2100.ko [06:00] /lib/modules/2.6.24-19-generic/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/ipw2200.ko [06:00] How come my wireless doesn't work? [06:00] gparted in my ubuntu live cd shows no partitions [06:00] ok [06:00] eli_, not that ive found.. it just happends every so often on some videos for me [06:00] any ideas? [06:00] tritium, oh my bad [06:01] nydoc: is the ipw2100 module loaded? [06:01] I don't know? [06:01] its very annoying cause it happens alot when a lot of pixels change in a scene [06:01] nydoc: "lsmod | grep ipw" please [06:02] eli_, i think its more related to the encoder used on the video - some videos i see a lot of them.. some i never see any. [06:03] What are good reliable DVD rippers for Ubuntu which rip into x264 encoder and MKV container? [06:03] When I type lsmod grip ipw nothing happens. [06:03] (HandBrakeCLI is doing some funky things) [06:03] apathadeus, found it ...uploadin now [06:03] nydoc: no, "lsmod | grep ipw" [06:03] I did some googling it seems to depend on how many passes it is encoded with [06:03] apathadeus, http://dl.getdropbox.com/u/180039/linux_file_structure.jpg [06:03] ok [06:03] Romanian, i tend to use dvdrip, and k9copy [06:03] does it need "" [06:03] nydoc: no [06:03] what was this !who you were talking about? [06:04] apathadeus, !somthingis a bot command. [06:04] It goes back to the prompt. [06:04] apathadeus: use the nick of the person you're talking to [06:04] apathadeus, its a repconfigured msg describing etiqutte here on the irc channel [06:04] hey I'm setting up some stuff was wondering if anyone can help me out: all details can be found at:http://pastebin.com/d62bb8cd [06:04] nydoc: ok, then the module isn't loaded. Please run "sudo modprobe ipw2100". It should then load, and the wireless device should be found when you run "iwconfig" [06:04] Dr_willis_, forgot to mention that these are encrypted DVDs. Does dvdrip/k9copy have the ability to rip encrypted? [06:04] basically trying to patch a file and it's not working. [06:04] i see, let me test it [06:05] !airtonix hello [06:05] Sorry, I don't know anything about airtonix hello [06:05] who is our Samba guy in here. I'm at a loss as to what to do with this thing toniht [06:05] apathadeus: no, don't use the ! in front.

You can experiment with bot commands in a /query. [06:06] Dr_willis_, "can"? Do they require special settings? [06:06] tyso1, lots of people use it. :) ask the channel a real question and see who answers [06:06] airtonix, is it woring like ti should? [06:06] Romanian, decss needs to be installed i belove [06:07] !dvd [06:07] For playing DVD, see http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/video.html - "libdvdcss2" can be found at !Medibuntu or (for Feisty and earlier) http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SeveasPackages - Try k9copy (available in !Universe) for backing up DVDs [06:07] nydoc: any status yet? [06:07] dr_Willis, do you have a sec to give me a hand with this Samba user login issue? [06:07] tritium, I think i got the directed message thing working [06:07] apathadeus, :) putting the nick in front of your msgs will highlight them for me...makes it easier for your conversation partner to find msgs amongst the haystack of other msgs [06:07] apathadeus: looks like you do ;) [06:07] does any one know a command to star programs at start up? [06:08] Dr_willis_, where would one find decss? Or is that included with libdvdcss2? (I'm a newbie at this Linux thing.) [06:08] Guest18281, depends on how complex the problem is..I normally just reread the 'using samba' book and find examples of similer shares/setups and modify them as needed [06:08] iwconfig still shows nothing [06:08] Romanian, it is the same. :) no e in it.. [06:08] airtonix, hmm, heh thanks for telling me about this. It is the first time I got my xchat working [06:08] Awesome, thanks Dr_willis_ :) Do you mind if I PM later on if I have troubles? Or would you rather not? [06:08] im trying to se up a new virtual machine. its asking me how much ram to allocate saying 512 is recommended base. my question is if i set it to max does that take away from main os while im using it? [06:08] dr_Willis, I'd just be happy with getting access to it (other than in guest only mode) from my windows boses [06:08] nydoc: is the module loaded for sure now? Please verify with the previous command (lsmod | grep ipw) [06:08] can someone help me ive got a hp 3322 and i had to use hplip to get it to work but hwen i restart i have to delete and reselect the printer to get it to work is there anyway i can do something to avoid this? [06:08] Romanian, if you read the pages about restricted formats on ubuntu wiki or help site you will find instructions on how to install it [06:08] Romanian, im in and out of the channel all day. So it may be best to keep it in the channel so others can help [06:09] is it possible to save in openoffice.org spreadsheet to .doc from .xls [06:09] noone00110011, i think you can edit /etc/fstab or use compiz [06:09] airtonix, I have installed all of those to the best of my knowledge, still plays with massive artifacts [06:09] i tryed putting in openoffice word but can not seem to get view properly [06:09] Guest18281, I normally set up the users 'homes' directory to be shared, by hand editing the smb.conf .. I install samba, give each user a samba password with 'sudo smbpasswd -a USERNAME' and then the window susers can access their linux homes. [06:10] I think so but I am not sure how to interpret the response. [06:10] nydoc: sounds like it is. [06:10] Guest18281, my smb.conf file --> http://pastebin.com/f1be63150 [06:10] Should wireless work in roam mode? [06:11] yes, nydoc [06:11] Hey everybody [06:11] nydoc: but, iwconfig should have found the wireless interface as well [06:11] in virtualbox when i set up the ram allocation for the new virtual machine if i set it to as high as it will go does that affect the main operation system? [06:12] tyso1, it will take that ram from the main OS.. yes. [06:12] Dr_willis_, dvdrip has no MKV container? [06:12] dr_Willis, the more I test this mess, the more I think that the directory is still owned by JUST the root user. how do I go about changing it so that everyone in the "storage" and "root" groups can access it? [06:12] vram? [06:12] noone00110011: u want to AUTO-start programs on startup? [06:12] dr_Willis, nor does it have x264 encoder :\ Does K9backup have it? [06:12] er, k9copy [06:12] Romanian, no idea. You could alwyas convert with that avidemux tool. I normally just use xvid/avi [06:12] Dr_willis meaning that it will no longer be available for use with the main os? [06:13] Romanian, those tools are mainly froent endd to the various command line tools.. [06:13] tyso1, thats what ive seen. It likes to grab all the ram when it strts up [06:13] Romanian, if your trying to encode movies for ipod i recomend floola [06:13] dr willis thanks [06:13] Is fglrx working on any intrepid? [06:13] airtonix, not for iPod. I'm trying to make some quality backups for my home fileserver using x264 and MKV. I was able to with HandBrakeCLI, but it ended up all funky. [06:13] !intrepid | DaNmarner [06:13] DaNmarner: Intrepid Ibex is the code name for Ubuntu 8.10, due October 30th, 2008 - Warning lots of broken software between now and October 30th! - Use #ubuntu+1 for support, *NOT* #ubuntu [06:14] can someone tell me the xserver used on Intrepid for Mesa? I am trying to remove it === rich_ is now known as nickrud [06:14] Romanian, ah ok, however ... i approached that same goal (minus the mkv) by just using floola [06:15] Ah, I really would prefer mkv, although I'll keep floola in mind if the rest fail. Thanks. [06:15] lots of bugs in intrepid... but at least tabs in nautilus :-) [06:15] Romanian, but...concerning decss : https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Medibuntu -> Pllaying Encrypted DVDs [06:15] hi [06:15] thats why i only test it on vmware cause it is rather buggy at the moment [06:16] anybody have an acer aspire one running ubuntu? [06:16] I see the internal Zip Disk 100mb Drive in my file system. But for some reason I can't seem to access the files on the disk itself. The Info is still there, But I can't seem to access it... Whats up?... [06:16] i wanna use virtual box [06:16] but i cant [06:16] Still no wireless internet when i open firefox and iwconfig says no wireless. [06:16] smutje, hai! try keep it on one line :) [06:17] nydoc: have you read any of the docs on the wiki page? [06:17] nydoc, then how are you on irc?

[06:19] bdunlap: that you need to install "build-essential" [06:19] smutje, this is your problem : VirtualBox kernel driver not installed [06:19] tritium, ah, thank you :-) [06:20] No worries. Good night! [06:20] parker, airtonix I will install to test. I already have installed Mplayer, But it is not good to play dvds :( [06:20] i dont know how to install kernel driver [06:20] parker: is the a way to recover that data? [06:20] smutje, how did you install virtualbox to begin with ? [06:21] smutje, was it via apt-get or did you download a deb file for virtualbox website? [06:22] ninjabuntu: I have not messed with it that much, have you opened it in shell? [06:22] hello everyone [06:22] /join #ubuntu-cn [06:22] http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads i installed [06:22] there may be an error that you could go off of, maybe some missing packages? [06:22] parker; No, Ummm how do you open it in a shell? [06:22] what is the other package similar to webmin? [06:22] basically trying to patch a file and it's not working. [06:22] smutje, have you restarted you system since you installed it ? kernel upgrades only take effect at boot time [06:22] open the shell [06:22] type ls [06:22] hey I'm setting up some stuff was wondering if anyone can help me out: all details can be found at:http://pastebin.com/d62bb8cd [06:23] Hello...

[06:23] ninjabuntu: yes terminal [06:23] of course i restarted my system [06:23] sorry [06:24] !webmin [06:24] webmin is no longer supported in Debian and Ubuntu. It is not compatible with the way that Ubuntu packages handle configuration files, and is likely to cause unexpected issues with your system. See !ebox instead.

See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/eBox [06:24] parker: ok going to try BRB [06:25] ninjabuntu: okay [06:25] holy schnikey's! it worked! [06:25] er...sorry... [06:25] ooo e-box [06:25] now i get an conflict with the installed virtual box [06:25] smutje, have you installed : sudo aptitude install virtualbox-ose-modules-generic [06:25] Can I run a NAS on Ubuntu Server? [06:25] Sorry to butt in again.. but I need some help with ubuntu instllation... can anyone help me out ,,, please? [06:25] smutje, remove the old one before you install the new one [06:26] jacobbs: yes [06:26] how to remove ? [06:26] smadhok, describe your situation ...someone will help [06:26] samba is actually a type of nas isnt it? [06:26] smadhok, sure we can ... just say what is going wrong [06:26] kwabbles, any specific servers to recommend? [06:26] eli_, well.. thats a bit broad. :) [06:26] smadhok, sure we can ... just say what is going wrong or you doubt [06:26] or programs, rather. [06:26] eli: samba is a network storage protocol [06:26] nfs is as well [06:27] jacobbs: ?? what do you mean [06:27] parker: remind me where the drives are? [06:27] smutje, you can use synaptics....system -> admin -> synaptics package manager...search for virtualbox and tick for 'complete removal' [06:27] ya [06:27] I was looking into FreeNAS [06:27] does anyone have experience upgrading a base install of gimp 2.4 to the most current? [06:27] But I want to run Ubuntu Server as the OS [06:27] freenas is based on freebsd [06:27] okie.. So I have an old desktop.. old actually a slow one.. runs windows right now.. The CD drive is stuck.. so I cannot use the live CD of 7.04 which I have I tired the instrustions provided at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick... [06:27] ninjabuntu: try media [06:27] it comes with the OS [06:27] Yep, I know. [06:27] It's an OS [06:27] Jacobbs, depends on wht fileserving tasks you want to do.. ubuntu can work as a fileserver [06:27] Using the Manual process... [06:27] dr_Willis, hmmm cool. [06:27] if it's just gonna be a nas, use the freenas [06:27] The system then boots from the USB.. but then does not allow me to do anything at all.. [06:28] easy to set up - solid as a rock, and fast [06:28] Jacobbs, about any linux can work as a fileserver. :) [06:28] now i am installing the newest version for ubuntu [06:28] It becomes very vert slow.. [06:28] Well, I'll probably be doing other stuff as well [06:28] SAN and NAS are both different it differers based on the level of access like a SAN would transport the scsi commands [06:28] Jacobbs, i use NFS between my ubuntu desktop and my ubuntu server [06:28] then use ubuntu with NFS [06:28] I tried twice and had to restart the system bth times [06:28] NFS? [06:28] Network File system [06:28] Ahh, I see [06:28] smutje: how are u installing? [06:28] do i have tho create a groub ? [06:28] yes [06:28] smutje, any reason why your not installing the virtualbox-ose from the ubuntu repositories? [06:28] much better than samba [06:29] 1 second please [06:29] parker: i see cdrom and the floppy drive i haven't used in like 3 years. but the zip disk drive is not showing up there... [06:29] the folders you want to share are stored in /etc/exports [06:29] hey I'm setting up some stuff was wondering if anyone can help me out: all details can be found at:http://pastebin.com/d62bb8cd [summary, I'm having issues patching a file] [06:29] ninjabuntu: hmm, and you have it mounted? [06:29] NFS can interact between Windows boxes too right? [06:29] Jacobbs, the transfer speeds i get on nfs compared to samba are about double [06:29] well [06:29] Jacobbs, no. [06:29] airtonix, I'm not all that concerned about transfer speed [06:29] there are commercial solutions [06:29] Jacobbs, ive heard there are nfs clients for windows.. but nevr used one.. or seen a free one. [06:30] I'm mostly doing files less than 25kb [06:30] Jacobbs, for windows - you will wan tto use samba, or ssh [06:30] there's an NFS implementation for windows [06:30] i should install something else [06:30] i keep telling it to mount but it keep saying that it can't mount media [06:30] virtual box ose module [06:30] parker: it keep telling it to mount but it keep saying that it can't mount media [06:30] smutje: how did u install virtualbox... and what version? [06:30] http://support.microsoft.com/kb/324055 deals with NFS for windows [06:30] smutje: add the source from the download-page to your sources.list, update packages and install.. this worked for me on hardy [06:30] thanks kwabbles [06:31] Jacobbs, dr_Willis is right microsoft have made drivers fro nfs and ext access but i would not trust them, fairly sub-standard implementations designed to make ext and nfs look bad in terms of making admins switch to windows server [06:31] amazin i think this is perhabs the problem [06:31] I have Ext3 access on this box [06:31] can you run multiple VMs at once with VirtualBox? [06:31] follow instructions at the bottom of this page rather than a manual install of the deb>>.http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Linux_Downloads [06:31] there are also some other NFS clients for windows [06:31] hi to everyone [06:31] no prob jacobbs - brb [06:31] kwabbles, yes but they cost lots of money [06:31] there is a ext2 driver for windows [06:32] i have a litle bizare problem i install my wifi card with madwifi drivers [06:32] ninjabuntu: your zip disk? [06:32] eli_, and its sub-standard. [06:32] but runs in userspace [06:32] yeah [06:32] it seem that it works but i cant search for a network [06:32] parker: yeah my zip disk [06:32] Samba shares accessed from a windows box. Can ANYONE help me try to figure out what's causing the user access errors? [06:32] http://www.fs-driver.org/ is substandard? [06:32] parker: it says LET me Get the exact message... [06:33] Ok.. A simpler version.. I need to install Ubuntu on my desktop.. I have a live CD of 7.04 but the CD drive on my desktop doe snot work.. [06:33] Can anyone help me out to install ubuntu on the desktop? [06:33] ninjabuntu: okay [06:33] Parer: unable to Mount Location - Can't Mount File [06:34] I use fs-driver [06:34] hi all I am installing (x)ubuntu on a machine that has separate home and / partitions. I have gone to Manual partitioner and have told it to use the old / partition as the new xubuntu partition and have said "don't use this partition" for my old /home. Will this work? [06:34] source list [06:34] does anyone know how to force flash plugin nonfree to use oss sound instead of alsa? [06:34] smadhok, if you wanted to use 8.04 you could use 'unetbootin' tool to make a bootable thumbdrive === smutje is now known as smutje_ === smutje_ is now known as smutje__ [06:34] ninjabuntu: I have to run, check the documentations on ubuntu's website, [06:34] how to edit fast the source llist ?

[06:34] parker: me too [06:34] and it might take me afes to donwload [06:35] does anyone know how to fix the alsa bug from the ubuntu 8.10 update? [06:35] eli_, that tool works for ext2/3 - but i find little 'issues' with it.. I would suggest if you use it.,. to enable it.. get to your data/do the work. then unmount the linux fleysstems. [06:35] anyone? [06:35] ninjabuntu: check more specifically, the threads dealing with mounting drives [06:35] parker: ok i'll do that... [06:35] i'll post my question again: hi all I am installing (x)ubuntu on a machine that has separate home and / partitions. I have gone to Manual partitioner and have told it to use the old / partition as the new xubuntu partition and have said "don't use this partition" for my old /home. Will this work? [06:35] pist0l-fish, you can edit th fstab afterwards and mount home where you want.. ive done that befor [06:36] Dr_willis_: great, as long as it doesn't change it :) That's all I'm concerned with. Editing the fstab is no problem (y) [06:36] thanks for your help [06:36] argh. Always forget that I'm on IRC and attempt to use IM emoticons. Strange. [06:36] pist0l-fish, just point it there in setup but dont format that partition [06:36] pist0l-fish, if you have a lot of users.. you may need to do some other tweaking.. [06:37] Dr_willis_: Any other suggestion? I would prefer if I did not have to donwload 8.04? Too long to download and have a limited download limit [06:37] airtonix: I don't think I can point it in the setup without formatting the partition [06:37] pist0l-fish, ive done what airtonix suggests also.. but i just have a 2 user system [06:37] pist0l-fish, you can...i do it all the time [06:37] airtonix: hmm let me take a closer look [06:37] smadhok, no idea. I dont mess with the old releases - so i dont even know whats its possible for them to do. [06:37] airtonix: is the xubuntu manual partitioner different than the ubuntu one? [06:38] Dr_willis: Any dies who else may be able to help me out? [06:38] pist0l-fish, ah yes it may be... [06:38] because all I have is Use As: and a bunch of journalling types [06:38] and the mount point box doesn't get enabled until you pick a journalling type [06:38] err.. file system type. [06:38] ah wait! I can pick ext3 and uncheck "format the partition" [06:39] pist0l-fish, unfortunatly i dont have xubuntu hardy iso here to load up in virtual box to confirm...sorry [06:39] pist0l-fish, yep you got it! :) [06:39] anyone who can help please take a look im using virtual box and i try and start my virtual os and it tells me that the virtual bx ose module for my kernel is not installed [06:39] airtonix: Thanks for even considering doing that :D I think I've figured it out [06:39] sudo apt-key add sun_vbox.asc where should the file be ?

[07:23] !anyone | kiba_urufu [07:23] kiba_urufu: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? [07:23] lakitu2: there is must be some option when create partition. Just find it [07:24] Dr_willis_: from KBASIC official site http://kbasic.com [07:24] hai [07:24] siang [07:24] lovely_girl_: we speak english here, keep it on topic. [07:24] met siang sayang... [07:24] lovely_girl_: this is english channel [07:24] ok deeh [07:25] alright, well This is my first time actually using Ubuntu, or even a linux OS, and in my quest to figure out how to get root privileges, I sorta removed all my privileges. Is there a way I can get them back? [07:25] out of curiosity, are there ubuntu channels targeted at other languages? [07:25] QV: yes [07:26] view https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC [07:26] thanks [07:26] kiba_urufu: sudo is how you run programs as root [07:26] DieseL__: Ahh, I think I might know what is happening ( note though that this is a just a guess, I have no idea how Dell's Direct Media thing works ). My guess is that because windows doesn't like being anything but the first partition on the disk that when you use this direct media boot partitions are re-mapped by the BIOS ( much the same way grub can do ). Because the partitions have been re-mapped grub is rightfully confused [07:26] haiiiiii all [07:26] outbri, yeah i found that out a little late. [07:26] i am sorryyyyyyy [07:26] kiba_urufu: so what do you need to do now? [07:26] i dont know if it is english channel [07:27] hi again, everyone. I just put ubuntu on my computer and am looking for the package unrar through apt-get. Does anyone have a good list of repositories for 8.04 [07:27] soryyyyyyyyyy [07:27] lovely_girl__: This is an english only channel, but there are channels in other languages [07:27] Jordan_U [07:27] well i think i will try my problem tomorrow for now im so tired bye and see ya tomorow [07:27] !english | lovely_girl__ [07:27] lovely_girl__: The #ubuntu, #kubuntu and #xubuntu channels are English only. For a complete list of channels in other languages, please visit http://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetRelayChat [07:27] yeeee iam sorry if iwrong [07:27] http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-472217.html - Artemis3 [07:27] Jordan_U [07:27] see that link [07:27] Artemis3 [07:27] DieseL__: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [07:27] his post [07:28] thats what happened [07:28] speak with indonesian lenguage [07:28] haii alllll [07:28] i need to return my account back to its normal privilege status. I went through the users and groups and tried to copy the same privileges as root had so i unchecked everything and set my group to root. now i can't change it back because i can't unlock the users and groups. [07:28] Leonheart, ./installer_kbasic_professional_linux.bin [07:28] - worked here fine for me. On Kubuntu 8.04 [07:28] does anyone know what Leonheart was talking about, with flat partitions re VirtualBox? [07:29] I'm scared to think i'll have to reinstall the whole ubuntu [07:29] kiba_urufu: You need to reboot, and at the GRUB menu, choose "Recovery Console" then do this: adduser [username] admin [07:29] this is me DNAngel [07:29] kiba_urufu: Where [username] is your username [07:29] alright. thanks, flannel. [07:29] kiba_urufu: Why are you trying to copy the root stuffs anyway? [07:29] Leonheart, do you mean i set the partition in my host or my guest machine to be flat? [07:29] wht the nick of last lovely_girl or something? [07:29] Leonheart: i can't google much on it [07:30] google up [07:30] Leonheart, ./installer_kbasic_professional_linux.bin - worked and installed here.. I need to install some xtraa files to get the app to actually run it seems. [07:30] because it took me trial and error to finally figure out how to install stuff that needed to be installed as root [07:30] Flannel, shouldn't kiba_urufu be able to run sudo users-admin to accomplish the same thing? [07:30] kiba_urufu: Theres a number of ways, and they're all relatively straight forward that you should have found it. [07:30] outbri: Not if you can't sudo anymore. [07:31] it took some searching in the help files before i even found the sudo command, and by then the damage had been done [07:31] anyone know where to get other irc clients? [07:31] yeah. the depedency seems too much [07:31] Flannel, ah. So in recovery mode you automactically get root access? [07:31] kiba_urufu: add/remove programs or synaptic package manager (both are graphical apt things) both will automatically escilate your privledges. [07:31] Jordan_U [07:31] i think your right about what you said [07:31] kiba_urufu: you don't need the sudo command to use those. They automatically do it. [07:31] lemme paste you my fdisk -l output [07:31] outbri: correct. Its single user mode. [07:31] alright [07:31] hi whenever i open firefox/evolution/pidgin, i am always in offline mode [07:31] i have manually turn to online mode [07:31] Leonheart, they list on the web site whats needed.. but im not going to try too hard to get it goind.. why use basic when theres better languages out [07:31] ryth: pidgin and xchat are the two irc clients I use. they are both available in synaptic [07:32] http://pastebin.com/mb4f705d - Jordan_U [07:33] Flannel: guess i shouldn't have restarted. i dont even have the permission to run the update manager [07:33] outbri: thanks I'm using xchat now.. I'll find pidgin... [07:33] Dr_willis_: I just want to try out. there is not so annying if I can't get it installed. I have better compiler for anything :) [07:33] kiba_urufu: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SynapticHowto and https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo will both be useful for you. Also, try https://help.ubuntu.com/ it will walk you through a number of common tasks, etc [07:33] ryth: you have to have a registered nick to use irc on pidgin [07:33] Artemis3 [07:33] anyone have trouble with miro [07:33] kiba_urufu: Once you fix your permissions, you'll be fine. [07:33] opps [07:33] Leonheart, looks like it dont like the qtwebkit version in ubuntu.. so im giving up on that kbasic [07:33] ryth: i wouldnt recommend pidgin for IRC [07:33] http://pastebin.com/mb4f705d - anyone know how to fix this, causes grub error 17 [07:33] k [07:33] Leonheart, it installed.. it just wont run. :) [07:34] KenBW2: why not? [07:34] Dr_willis_: Thanks Dr, [07:34] Leonheart, leave a note on the kbasic forums. [07:34] Flannel: none of the system wide altering programs are showing up under the Administration [07:34] HELP [07:35] outbri: it just doesn't make good use of space, or layout etc [07:35] it's designed for IMing [07:35] http://pastebin.com/mb4f705d - anyone know how to fix this, causes grub error 17 [07:35] Leonheart, it might need the kde4 libs [07:35] kiba_urufu: that's because you're not able to use sudo. You need to reboot to the recovery console, and adduser username admin [07:35] does kbasic work in ubuntu? [07:35] !repeat | DieseL__ [07:35] DieseL__: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://wiki.ubuntu.com while you wait. Also see !patience [07:35] I'm trying to install a game and it has a few minimum requirements.. I'm pretty sure that what I got matches or exceeds the minimums.. but the game is not working. I'd like to make sure I have the requirements. Could someone point me where to look? [07:35] alright. thanks. [07:35] someone must [07:35] !patience [07:35] The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines [07:36] hi any clue y firefox starts by default in offline mode? [07:36] Anyone have experience with setting up transmissions webgui? [07:37] DieseL__: Have you tried the solution suggested on the forum page you linked too? [07:37] the hard shutdown one? [07:37] KenBW2: I find it works as well as xchat, but I am also in 4-5 channels at once and have a few IM conversations going so all in one helps. For strictly irc xchat may be better, but that's what ryth is using and doesn't like or something [07:37] just about too, doesn't really sound like a solution [07:37] more of a shot in the dark [07:37] is there no fix to that fdisk problem? [07:37] ajopaul: same problem here, not sure why. [07:37] outbri: Opera IRC FTW! :P [07:38] !enter | DieseL__ [07:38] Dr_willis_: That wasn't problem Dr_ [07:38] DieseL__: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation!

[07:39] KenBW2: runs out of a browser? haven't heard of it before. [07:39] outbri, its the same for evolution and pidgin, [07:39] ? [07:39] boleh [07:39] Leonheart: lovely_girl_ : pls take it out of the public english channel!!! [07:40] how do you find out what version of kernel you're running? [07:40] OK :P [07:40] ajopaul: ... they start in offline mode? [07:40] outbri, yes [07:40] ajopaul: Pidgin doesn't work until I change the status, firefox starts in offline mode, and evolution works fine for me [07:40] ok [07:41] outbri: no, just Opera has an IRC clien [07:41] t [07:41] ajopaul: outbri : do u have them set to auto-start? [07:41] ryth: uname -r [07:41] macvr, no [07:41] KenBW2: Ah, so that works if he's running opera. [07:41] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GjzFU6rXwLo - this is the problem i have [07:42] ajopaul: k.. i had tht prob [07:42] macvr: nope [07:42] outbri: yup [07:42] outbri: ajopaul: There is a option in preferences "Status/Idle" you can change it [07:42] on status at startup [07:42] right off to work, fun :( [07:43] anyone know what the -l for tcl is? [07:43] Jorda_U: thanks [07:43] Leonheart: which option? [07:43] is foremost the only way to really undelete stuff? [07:43] Jordan_U, after I ask to #ubuntu+1, no anyone answer me. Where can I get the answer for my problem? [07:44] I wasn't paying attention and I did a sudo rm -rf * on my shared media drive. [07:44] outbri: Use status from last exit at startup [07:44] Leonheart: When Pidgin starts it hangs on whatever status it is on, without logging any protocols on. So usually it starts on available, I change it to away and then back to available and it works. [07:44] outbri: change to available [07:44] Leonheart: alright, thanks [07:45] Bueller? Bueller? [07:45] outbri: maybe change in Network preferences can help [07:45] Ferris? [07:45] cishpix: You may not be able to, there is a reason that they call it beta and give the warnings, it is not supported, and you should not install it on any system that you need to actually work [07:46] Jordan_U, but I can connect it from old kernel [07:47] macvr, outbri was any discussed i lost connectin in bw :) [07:48] ajopaul: this might help for firefox https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+faq/96 [07:49] hi guys, I have a server that's running edgy but the apt repository I'm using doesn't have edgy anymore. [07:49] is there a way to change the blue < and > surounding peoples names when using xchat? [07:49] what release can I easily upgrade to from edgy? [07:49] fredl: sudo apt-get dist-upgrade [07:50] bzaks - the apt repository I'm using doesn't have edgy anymore. [07:50] outbri, i removed network-manager and now its working but not sure the probs of removing network-manager [07:50] ryth, i dont see any <> around names in xchat.. or are you using xchat-gnome ? [07:50] bzaks - so I need to dist-upgrade to the following release, not just the current one. [07:50] yea [07:50] so what's the next logical release after edgy? [07:50] I'm pretty sure anyways... [07:51] fredl, i highly recommend clean install...distupgrade will almostsurely give you problems [07:51] Otherwise [07:51] here's an older way to do it, but you can change it as needed [07:51] http://crazytrain.wordpress.com/2006/10/27/how-to-update-your-ubuntu-server-through-the-command-line/ [07:52] Fredl: After Edgy came Fiesty [07:52] anyone know what is effest of dpkg --set-selections and --get-selections? [07:52] ok bzaks, thanks [07:52] Good luck fredl [07:52] ryth, i don....... [07:52] fredl: Seriously though, a clean install is your best bet [07:52] whoever came up with idea to play a noise when the OS boots [07:52] it looks like that.. only with blue .... [07:52] yeah lets play a noise that you can't mute until the operating system is loaded [07:52] bzaks - this is a server in a data center that I don't have access to :) [07:53] anyone know what is effest of dpkg --set-selections and --get-selections? [07:53] ryth, check the text events settings in the settings i guess [07:53] great if you want to turn your laptop on in a quiet enviroment [07:53] Dr_willis_: The <> showed up for me too back when I used xchat [07:53] fredl: Yikes. You may want to contact the box admins. You could potentially screw over the entire system... (and you'll need a fresh install anyway at that point) [07:54] wow [07:54] bzaks - that's fine, gotta give it a try first :) thanks! [07:55] Hmmm [07:55] well Dr__willis__ do you see <> ? [07:55] anyone else wanna take bets on whether or not fredl is screwed? [07:55] No Sir i do not. :) I am talking to myself.. on different disrtos.. [07:55] Dr_willis_: You don't have 'em? [07:56] outbri, nope - i dont see any at all.. HOWEVER..i might be using some older xchat configs.. I keep my /home around and i have been using the same xchat config files for ages...

[08:30] five: Because, Windows is accessible at the same time Ubuntu is running, and in a Window too [08:30] windows is horribly slow [08:30] ryth: The Ubuntu Firefox updates come through Update Manager, the standard software repository service. [08:30] hai [08:30] I do this... I have a VMWare Server installed on my Ubuntu and when I need to use some program that dont work on wine I run it directly on Windows... and I dont need to stop my current work at Linux [08:31] five, there's octave, it's similar to matlab [08:31] kok sepi [08:31] idk IntuitiveNipple ill check into that, sounds good, right now i have problems signing on the the university's network with linux [08:31] hello [08:31] :D [08:31] !info octave | five [08:31] five: Package octave does not exist in hardy [08:31] what is VM [08:31] does it slow computer [08:31] so i cannot get online when im a UA [08:31] if i install it [08:31] virtual machine [08:31] Zubair1: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [08:31] I tried to load up hotmail and it says that I could stand to use the updated firefox.... I check the updates for ubuntu and it says I'm up to date [08:31] Groselho: yeah - I use the kvm (Kernel Virtual Machine) which is hardware-accelerated. Sometimes have several VM guests running [08:31] I have network-manager and network-manager-gnome installed but I can't find the applet anywhere. What gives? Using network-admin I can't get use any wireless encryption, but unencrypted works fine.

[08:32] scodil: The applet is in the n-m-g package, but won't appear in the notification area unless NetworkManager is running, too [08:32] they have a WPA encrypted network and ive tried every setting with my username/pass and it will not connect, when i get a chance im gonna take my laptop down to the IT guys and see if they can figure it out [08:32] will VM slow my PC? [08:32] IntuitiveNipple: it is running [08:32] does it add extra load [08:32] finished === pronoy is now known as pronoy_ [08:32] Groselho: absolutely, I've just submitted a patch to upstream QEMU/kvm to support USB devices on the /dev/ file-system too, so everything is sweet. [08:33] scodil: Check running processes for the applet: ps -ef | grep nm-applet [08:33] if the IT guys cant help me, then ill probably be back here to get some help from you guys [08:33] Zubairl: Its add extra load only when you are running the Virtual Machines, otherwise it will not slow your machine [08:33] IntuitiveNipple: NetworkManager is running, nm-applet is not [08:33] Oooo.. thanks [08:34] brb [08:34] if you have dual core processors and alot of ram you should be fine [08:34] scodil: Try starting it: nm-applet --sm-disable& [08:34] IntuitiveNipple: Its good to know it... I'll take a look at KVM [08:34] i deleted the gnome wifi manager thing that comes on HH and installed WICD and still no luck tho [08:35] Groselho: I build the latest packages. The one with USB /dev/ enabled is in my Ubuntu PPA [08:35] five: did you try wpa_supplicant ? [08:35] IntuitiveNipple: oh duh. thanks. Didn't know what it was called. It doesn't show up in the "add to panel" list. But all it gives me is manual config [08:35] dfg [08:35] Groselho no but ive heard of that [08:36] scodil: Try restarting NetworkManager: sudo /etc/init.d/NetworkManager restart [08:36] ghghfghhncsjsgf [08:36] IntuitiveNipple: I have not NetworkManager init script [08:36] I have no [08:36] sorry back [08:36] i forgot to ask one thing [08:36] IntuitiveNipple: Where I can get it ? [08:36] it also ask me about SWAP partion [08:36] five: The standard Hardy configuration of NetworkManager, wpa_supplicant, and network-manager-gnome shouldn't have any serious issues. [08:37] what is that? [08:37] hi i'm wondering if i can get an expert to help me out here , im tryin to install ubuntu lite on an armada 7800 but i keep getting an error can't seem to get to tha gui [08:37] do i really need a swap partion? [08:37] when ubunto resizes my partion does it delete the current data on it? [08:37] Groselho: I am constantly updating the packages (testing, debugging, etc.) The latest are always listed in the PPA summary page: https://edge.launchpad.net/~intuitivenipple/+archive [08:38] IntuitiveNipple yeah, im not really sure why it wont allow me to log on, im gonna talk to the IT guys at UA and see if they know what it is, if not then im gonna come back here and ask you guys for some help [08:38] ive dont alot of googleing [08:38] on the subject [08:38] what about me? :( [08:38] any help plz?

I helped someone a couple weeks ago at Uni get connected to their secured uni network, was pretty easy.

I will take it... Did you know where I can found some good reference doc about KVM ? [08:39] what is SWAP PARTION [08:39] five: https://edge.launchpad.net/~network-manager/+archive [08:39] !id | dedi_ [08:39] dedi_: join ke #ubuntu-id untuk membahas ubuntu dalam bahasa Indonesia [08:40] Groselho: Well, kvm is a hardware accelerated version of QEMU, so qemu is usually the documentation source. When looking for info about using kvm, searching for QEMU will often help more (not least because KVM has the dual meaning of Keyboard-Video-Mouse extenders) [08:40] thnx man ill install it and give it a shot tomorrow while im at the university [08:40] Zubairl: SWAP is the partition used by the system to expand your real memory... if the system needs more memory it will use your disk [08:40] !swap | Zubair1 [08:40] Zubair1: swap is used to move unused programs and data out of main memory to make your system faster. It can also be used as extra memory if you don't have enough. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq for more info [08:41] help plz [08:41] nipple why do you write like that !swap | Zubair1 i dont get it :( [08:41] does anybody know what to do ? > i've installed ubuntu but i get this error on startup "> (EE) S3VIRGE(0): Internal error: invalid bpp (32) in S3VScreenInit [08:41] " plz help [08:41] do i need it ? [08:41] sorry [08:41] 1 sec [08:41] scodil: if you dont have nm-applet visible on panel then make sure you have Notification Area installed on panel [08:41] IntuitiveNipple: Thanks... [08:41] Groselho: Be aware, right now, I'm chasing down a bug in the kvm-74 package that in some circumstances prevents Linux Live CDs from installing into a VM guest image because the initial device discovery takes fractionally too long :) [08:42] does ubunto delete data when ubunto when it resize my partion??? [08:42] Groselho: I'm intending to package kvm-76 today, anyways! [08:42] hi guys [08:42] hi [08:42] no zubair... if you dont format the partition or delete it.... [08:42] could anyone help plz [08:43] one last q IntuitiveNipple , you're certain that skype works perfectly on ubuntu? i do't have to do any weird tweeking to get it to work? [08:43] thanks [08:43] angelln - just ask your question some one might help [08:43] Zubair1: It will only resize based on free space in other partitions. If there is a 200GB disk and Windows shows 50GB free space, Ubuntu should shrink the Windows partition by about 40GB to create space for itself. [08:43] does anybody know what to do ? > i've installed ubuntu but i get this error on startup "> (EE) S3VIRGE(0): Internal error: invalid bpp (32) in S3VScreenInit ...anyone ????????????? [08:43] how do i install compiz CORRECTLY??? [08:43] ok thanks- will it have any negative effects on my current install of WINDOWS? [08:44] cajun2k, i would check the forums for other peopl eusing the s3 video cards.. i see a lot of people in here havingissues with them [08:44] joanki123: The only 'tweaking' you might have to do is related to selecting the microphone correctly. If Ubuntu already works fine with the audio devices on the PC, so should Skype. Anyhow, why not install it and test? It costs nothing to do that. [08:44] angelln, if you are using ubuntu. it shoudl allready be installed. [08:44] Well.. I'm going.... Bye everyone [08:44] byez [08:44] And thank you IntuitiveNipple for the tip [08:44] i've checked , but when i try commands they say "invalid or bad command [08:44] Zubair1: Yes, it'll mean that you use Windows a lot less, and it starts to feel lonely and depressed :p [08:45] thanks IntuitiveNipple already have [08:45] it was, but to get my graphics card to work, i had to remove it. [08:45] ahh :o [08:45] joanki123: I've used Skype in Linux without any problem [08:45] i've been searchin tha forums for days , can't seem to find anything really ... all tha fixes or commands dont seem to work , unrecognized or bad commands ?? [08:46] Hmm.. weirdness.. Under Kde/Konqueror - i use the url smb://FileServer/ and it shows a list of shares.. under gnome, it does NOT show the list of shares.. but if i type in a name of specific share. smb://FileServer/ShareName gnome does see it and work... anyone else noticed this issue? [08:46] cajun2k: That error suggests the video driver is set to use 32 bits-per-pixel. It is possible the driver / chipset only support 24 bpp or 16 bpp. You'll possibly need to edit the /etc/X11/xorg.conf [08:46] awesome , how do i do that ? [08:46] it was, but to get my graphics card to work, i had to remove it [08:46] cajun2k, proberly need to install the proper tools/packages but i have never had a S3 video card. so cant say much more on it. [08:46] cajun2k: Do you know how to use a pastebin? [08:47] i am a linux newb' [08:47] cajun: Dr_willis_: S3 cards/drivers aren't the greatest, either :s [08:47] hello I have a problem that none of my network device are activated on my desktop any more [08:47] angelln, that dosent really make sence.. but theres https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager/CompizFusion [08:47] !pastebin | cajun2k [08:47] cajun2k: 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) [08:47] i know , tha card sucks [08:48] I checked dmesg and it spits out that eth0 could not be started and my wireless card rt2* driver is not loaded either [08:48] hello all [08:48] cajun2k: If you can use the Text Editor to open the file /etc/X11/xorg.conf and copy/paste the contents to the Pastebin, and tell us the URL of your paste, we can look at the configuration and possibly suggest some changes. [08:49] i can't even get into tha gui tho ? [08:49] so how do i use tha text editor ? [08:49] dr_willis,,,i will check it out [08:49] cajun2k: Are you using Ubuntu on that PC now? Also, does it have Internet access? [08:50] cajun2k: There are terminal text-editors too, don't worry. :) [08:50] nah i'm using windows right now , tha laptop with ubuntu is right beside me [08:50] ok good , [08:50] cajun2k: oh, great... does the laptop with Ubuntu have network connection? [08:50] well its in terminal i guess ... just sittin there .. [08:50] yes it has a network connection [08:50] cajun2k: So, from the Windows PC, you can 'ping' it? [08:50] but i'm not sure if its connected , cuz it wont start up ... [08:52] cajun2k: OK, when the laptop boots, you get the option to interrupt the boot-loader (GRUB) by pressing the Escape key and get shown the 'GRUB boot menu' - can you get to that/have you seen it? [08:52] yeah i've been using that [08:52] cajun2k: If you can get to that, then choose the "Recovery" option. [08:52] i get , resume normal boot , repair broken or "drop to root shell prompt" [08:53] cajun2k: if you have a terminal try sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf and Edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf and look for lines containing the word "Depth". Make sure they're set to 24 and not 32. Save the file and try to start X again. [08:53] cajun2k: "drop to root shell prompt" === lawrence is now known as Fioritura [08:53] ok i'm there , i'll give it a try msg ya back in a sec , thanks [08:53] where do I get a compiler from? [08:54] ryth, for what language? build-essential is the core C package [08:54] Dr_willis I'm not really sure.. alot of these packages need to be compiled...

Ive rarely needed to compile aything under ubuntu. [08:55] cajun2k: Notice in the "Screen" section it has "Defaultdepth 16" [08:55] Dr_willis here's an example.. http://www4.mplayerhq.hu/design7/dload.html [08:55] cajun2k: That's the 16 bits-per-pixel I was on about earlier [08:55] i'm wondering if anyone can help with a problem of mine [08:56] ryth, you realize that the medibuntu repositories have fairly up to date mplayer, and codec packages? [08:56] s3x0r: just ask [08:56] !medibuntu | ryth [08:56] ryth: medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org [08:56] hey , sry , so i did tha first command and it brought me to gnu nano 2.0.7 what now ??

Always check the archives first, or do a Google search with "ubuntu package" as part of the terms (http://packages.ubuntu.com) [08:57] easiest way to bind terminal to a key?

[08:59] cajun2k: Have you changed anything in the xorg.conf file? [08:59] Pidgin [08:59] i'm trying to install a bjc-80 (which should be well supported). But it doesn't print... cups seems o.k. I can start and stop the printer, I changed the driver (gutenberg, gutenberg light) [08:59] Leonheart: also you type it in the channel not server window [08:59] ryth, install the w32codecs pack from the mediubuntu reposiutory [08:59] :P OK, Thanks [09:00] Leonheart: replace the 3 with how many lines you want [09:00] easiest way to bind terminal to a key?

I think there are some keybinding stuff there [09:01] it works here Leonheart [09:01] Slart, i thought i heard some some bad stuff about them, but ok [09:01] !ccsm | lakitu2 [09:01] lakitu2: To enable advanced customization of desktop effects in Ubuntu: install 'compizconfig-settings-manager' or 'simple-ccsm'.

[09:04] Slart, ah ok, it worked [09:04] IntuitiveNipple : i'm here in tha xorg.conf , but not sure of my next step ? [09:04] cajun2k: the forums post might well help you, it has examples of a good xorg.conf configuration: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=816679 [09:05] ok thanks , i'll check it out [09:05] cajun2k: I *think* that is the same video adapter your laptop has? [09:05] Kartagis: you would have to check the man page for more info.. "man dd".. I'm not confident enough to answer more detailed questions [09:05] Is there is a option to get someone email addres through IRC nick? [09:05] Leonheart, no [09:05] :( Bad [09:06] Leonheart: no, good.. very good [09:06] IntuitiveNipple: yeah it seems to be , its a virge thats all i know .... [09:06] cajun2k: The basic issue I suspect you're dealing with is, the video adapter has very little memory and so cannot support high colour depths (hence the 16 bits-per-pixel suggestion) [09:06] cajun2k: you may want to backup your xorg.conf file first before changing stuff [09:06] Leonheart: can you imagine the spam.. [09:06] :) yeah. [09:06] cajun2k: At a terminal, you can check with: lspci -nn | grep -i VGA [09:06] if someone could get my email address through irc it wouldn't be much different than aol [09:06] its a s3 virge [09:07] cajun2k: If that reports nothing, just do "lspci -nn" and look for a device that appears to be the S3 video [09:07] can u type there /lastlog lovely_girl [09:07] is there any way for the Alt+F2 "Run Command" to autocomplete to items in history? for example, i run "firefox -no-remote -P foobar" and when i type "fire" it autocompletes just to "firefox", but not the whole command in the history (i'm use to having this functionality from KDE) [09:07] or lovely_girl_ [09:07] Some functions on my mythbuntu box have borked from a hard shutdown. I suspect mythconverg.recordings is corrupted ... is there a way to repair a MySQL database? [09:07] its tha same that everyone else is using in their armada's [09:07] I don't remember the underline goes [09:07] cajun2k: in the output of "lspci -nn" you'll see the exact vendor:product PCI ID of the device (e.g. 34A1:0634) [09:07] ahaha i just been tryin to get a lil something outta this giezer laptop [09:07] I forget to add into buddy list :P [09:08] /nicklist screen [09:08] i'm gonna try and edit this , i'll be back in a bit and tell ya the results , much appreciated ! [09:08] deadsouls : maybe i am wrong but have you tried with the "UP Arrow" ? it used to work with that for me. not the history but the last one and you can navigate through them [09:08] Unknown command. [09:08] cajun2k: Make sure you take back-ups! [09:08] IntuitiveNipple : of what ? [09:09] With Shorewall, if you have 1,000 *nix systems, and you want to have ssh access to them from outside the network. Do you have ot assign an individual port to before forwarded to each particular system? ie. port 1000 goes to server1, 1001, server2 etc (I asked in #shorewall but no response in 1hr) [09:09] albuntu, i'm not trying to navigate through, i want it to auto-complete to the command in history as i type [09:09] cajun2k: Of the xorg.conf file before you edit it [09:09] IntuitiveNipple : its ok , i'm just tryin to get it to work , if it doesn't work i'll just reinstalll and try again .. [09:09] cajun2k: If you mess that up, it can be a pain to sort out without an original back-up :) [09:09] can someone check the /lastlog lovely_girl [09:09] Templar_Xion: I think so yes.. you might be able to do some other neat tricks to get around it.. but basically, yes [09:09] cajun2k: just do "cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.good" [09:10] Slart: Thank you very much. :) That's wa I was thinkin. [09:10] Leonheart: I'm pretty sure the #ubuntu channel is logged somewhere on the net [09:10] The topic says where to find the logs [09:10] IntuitiveNipple : ahaah ok will do ...

[09:14] hero你好,,, [09:14] nihao [09:15] :P [09:15] Leonheart: as you just said.. so many logs.. and so much of it isn't related to support.. hint hint [09:15] ganbei [09:15] IntuitiveNipple : now once i edit this file , and restart will it automatically read tha new settings or do i have to type something to update it ? [09:15] haha [09:15] I just freshly installed 8.10, can someone remind me of the syntax of the fstab? I have a data partition that I mount at /media/Data [09:15] yeah [09:15] is there an off topic chat for ubuntu? [09:15] cajun2k: It'll use the contents of the file as you've edited them [09:15] !ot [09:15] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [09:15] cajun2k: You don't need to reboot to test it though. [09:15] ??? [09:15] using pidgin with unicode char cause blocky chars :P [09:15] hi [09:15] hello [09:15] thanks ubotty [09:15] oh, how about using knoppix ???? [09:15] specially chinesse [09:15] cajun2k: You can do two things. 1. switch to regular multi-user mode. 2. Start the Xserver [09:16] it works like a charm , knoppix live ..... can i use that and edit it ? [09:16] yes [09:16] s [09:16] 有中文chanel知道吗? [09:16] got it [07:22] haiiiiiiii [09:16] cajun2k: For 1: "telinit 3" For 2: "/etc/init.d/gdm start" [09:16] Slart: BIG THANKS! [09:16] where do i find tha knoppix xorg.conf file ? can i just copy and replace from knoppix to ubuntu ?

[09:17] * Dr_willis_ waves bye to hero [09:17] cajun2k: My recommendation is make 'small' changes on what is there now. Focus on just setting the bits-per-pixel "DefaultDepth 16" [09:17] IntuitiveNipple : ya but i dont see any of those settings in there ... tha file is about 50 lines short ... [09:17] well.. the floodbots ate him.. [09:17] yay :P [09:18] cajun2k: Is there a "Screen" section? [09:18] IntuitiveNipple : yeah , but it just says default ... [09:18] IntuitiveNipple : default screen " configured monitor and configured video device .. [09:19] cajun2k: That's fine. Try adding "DefaultDepth 16" as the only change. The error report you showed originally indicates the S3 driver is trying to load, so just give it some clues [09:19] IntuitiveNipple: where anywhere in the screen section ? [09:20] cajun2k: yes, just after the Section "Screen" line is fine. (as long as it's not in a SubSection block) [09:20] ..grr.. ok I forget how to change my background. [09:20] Anyone know much about DNS? [09:20] !ask | Templar_Xion [09:20] Templar_Xion: Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-) [09:20] Templar_Xion: Lots of people :) [09:21] I recently requested a PTR for my ISP to point a .com to my IP address. Would I get DNS lookup fails if the webserver local to my system was setup incorrectly, or have I not waited long enough? [09:22] IntuitiveNipple : how do i make that square symbol [09:22] Templar_Xion: you mean a reverse PTR (from your static IP to a FQDN) ? [09:22] * Templar_Xion nods [09:22] cajun2k: what square symbol? :s [09:22] Templar_Xion: I think their dns would work regardless of the state of the computer at the other end of the ip.. I might be wrong though [09:22] Templar_Xion: Updates to zone files can take some time to be applied [09:23] IntuitiveNipple : "DefaultDepth16" is that what i'm typing ? [09:23] It's not been that long. I was told 24-72hrs. [09:23] Templar_Xion: most ISPs do them in batches at fixed intervals [09:23] hihi [09:23] hi [09:23] hello [09:23] cajun2k: DefaultDepth 16 [09:24] hi [09:24] cajun2k: I suspec the 'square symbol' was a tab character I pasted that your IRC client doesn't recognise [09:24] IntuitiveNipple: Yeah. My boss is getting antsy. I requested the nameservers from our .com host to point to our ISP. And the day after (business hours) I requested the ISP to do the reverse PTR. That was thursda. [09:24] its appearing weird here ... ??? it says defaultdepth with a huge space [09:24] exactly , so what is it i'm pressing before 16 ? [09:25] hero: Do you have any questions or are you just desperate to let us know that you are here? [09:25] oh , its ok nevermind [09:25] i got ya ! [09:25] Templar_Xion: Check the domain's nameserver entries with "whois ". If the reporte name-servers are your ISPs, then use "dig @isp.nameserver.com" to check the zone entries [09:25] why is it that my external USB HDD no longer automatically mounts and the sharing of folders is not saved next time I manually mount the drive? [09:25] cajun2k: :) [09:26] it used to work perfectly [09:26] Templar_Xion: To check the reverse-DNS entry, do "dig -x @isp.nameserver.com" [09:27] zetheroo-ubuntu, what filesystemis the drive? [09:27] zetheroo-ubuntu: If you want to mount shared folders on boot you need to add them to fstab. === PupUser14c171 is now known as tavi [09:27] IntuitiveNipple: hm. Not quite sure what i'm looking for. Never used dig. [09:27] Dr_willis_ : NTFS [09:28] haha [09:28] I am Chinese [09:28] BlueEagle : I never had to do that before ... [09:28] zetheroo-ubuntu, its possible the ntfs filesystem is being flagged as 'unmounted uncleanly' and needs to be checked, or forced to mount. Try mounting it from the command line. [09:28] IntuitiveNipple : !!!!!!!!!!!!! ITS WORKING !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! [09:29] Got a quick question. Say I want to map the Super key to open the Main Menu on my bottom bar, how would I do that? [09:29] Templar_Xion: The "ANSWER" section. That shows what the DNS server reports for the Query you give it. If the hostname you're expecting isn't on the same line as the IP you queried, the ISP zone file isn't updated yet [09:29] IntuitiveNipple: Besides, the local DNS server on my network is picking up the dig responses. [09:29] IntuitiveNipple : Changed it to 16 , and its workin PERFECT !!!!!!!!!!!!! , thanks man ! [09:29] cajun2k: cool! See what I mean by making small changes at once? [09:29] IntuitiveNipple : yeah , ahaha good call .... [09:30] IntuitiveNipple: i'm gonna go back and try some better resolutions now ... [09:30] Templar_Xion: If you use dig XXXXX @isp.nameserver.com the query should be answered by the ISP server only. (unless your network has some kind of DNs port 53 interception going on) [09:30] Dr_willis_ : there is no problem mounting it manually ... even through Nautilus .... [09:30] cajun2k: Good luck with that... *please* don't break it... yet! :) [09:30] Dr_willis_ : the problem is that it used to mount automatically when being switched on [09:30] IntuitiveNipple: windows dns service seems like it is doing intereception. [09:31] IntuitiveNipple : well if i do at least i know i've gotta backup [09:31] zetheroo-ubuntu, if its always attached.. i would put a entry in the fstab for it. [09:31] hi [09:31] Templar_Xion: When you use dig, the last few lines tell you which DNS server name/IP responded. Check that [09:31] IntuitiveNipple : thanks a lot , greatly Appreciated ! [09:31] i am missing the xorg.conf [09:31] cajun2k: you're welcome [09:31] IntuitiveNipple: Local DNS. 192.168... etc [09:31] can i generate an xorg.conf with the working X? [09:31] Dr_willis_ : why would the entry be gone? [09:32] c0de2: dpkg --reconfigure xorg [09:32] Templar_Xion: Do a test against one of my domains: "dig alexandros.tjworld.net @dns1.tjworld.net" That should show, at the end, "SERVER: 69.93.127.10#53(69.93.127.10)" [09:32] c0de2: I think that should do the trick. [09:32] Dr_willis_ : it was working perfectly and one day to the next it's not working anymore like it used to ... [09:33] Yup. [09:33] Ahh. I wasn't using a space. [09:33] if grub appears for a very short time -like a second , is there a button i can press to enter the menu before it boots? [09:33] Templar_Xion: :) [09:33] c0de2: make that: dpkg --configure xorg [09:34] it says it is configured [09:34] itai: The [ESC] key shows the menu. [09:34] itai join grub [09:34] I'm running ubuntu off a live CD, working in terminals. All is well except it's using american keyboard layout. I keep typing \ instead of @ and " instead of @. My gnome's having problems, i'm working to fix it, but for now i'm stuck in terminals. This is fine, i just want to know if anyone knows a quick way to change the keyboard config from the terminal. I have no idea how to do it, quick or slow. [09:35] c0de2: Then you should have an xorg.conf in the /etc/X11/ folder [09:35] IntuitiveNipple: Well I did that but I get a response with a bunch of name servers. nothing conclusive [09:35] BlueEagle, thanks [09:35] Dougal: man loadkeys [09:36] itai: You're welcome. [09:36] so i have an xorg.conf now [09:36] thanks [09:39] BlueEagle: thanks! [09:39] BlueEagle: it failed, but i know where to look now. Not a big deal and i'll sort it out later. [09:39] Dougal: which keyboard layout do you want? [09:39] zetheroo-ubuntu, for external usb media.. normally there is no entry infstab.. it could be somthing added one, and did not set it to automount at boot. [09:40] zetheroo-ubuntu, you may want to install/run that ntfs-config tool. it might kick it into doing what you want. [09:41] BlueEagle: uk [09:41] Hi. I can't remember name of aplication for editing Ubuntu Main Menu. Can someone help? [09:42] Dougal: Well it appears that /usr/share/keymaps is empty. I'm trying to find the files somewhere else. Did you try: loadkeys uk [09:42] ? [09:42] skurakai1: alacarte, but you can just right click > edit menus [09:42] BlueEagle: man page suggested "loadkeys uk" the computer recognised it, but was missing "symbols uk" file, or some such [09:42] Dougal: Then, like me, you're missing the files in /usr/share/keymaps/. [09:42] Editing the menu's in ubuntu should be integrated [09:42] crdlb: i think advanced editing not only add and delete. [09:42] hello [09:43] !hi | Noiano [09:43] Noiano: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! [09:43] i have it before but now have clean system and can't find name of this [09:43] !hi | BlueEagle [09:43] BlueEagle: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! [09:43] Dougal: You can install the console-keymaps file. That might work. [09:43] s/file/package/ [09:43] Try go to system, settings, and have a look there [09:44] I'd like to have some random data: I've heard of "dd if=/dev/random of=file.out bs=1M count=1" but I only get 16bytes...I want more....any idea? [09:44] skurakai1: what exactly is missing from the "edit menus" app? [09:44] Noiano: man dd [09:44] Noiano: Also, why would you want this? [09:44] crdlb: eg. icon editing. change commands ... [09:44] hi all. i want to create my own wondow border, close,minimize and maximize buttons for my desktop. i found tutorials on "how to create gtk themes" but i cant find anything on the proper heights and such for creating the window border and such. can anyone help? [09:44] I'm in windows now so cant be of any real help, but I used to have an option under "Settings" tab, there should be and option called "Menus" [09:44] Noiano, i am not sure that =1M is right.. [09:45] BlueEagle, i did read the man...I goy no solution... [09:45] have a look there and see if you come right [09:45] Dr_willis_, I found it on the internet [09:45] skurakai1: you can right click on any entry and select Properties [09:45] Have to go - cheers [09:45] any suggestion would be appreciated [09:45] crdlb: i havent "properties" in context menu [09:45] et [09:45] hi, I am using 8.04 with wlan.. sometimes this will cause a computer-freeze; wlan0: no IPv6 routers present(found in syslog). anyone ? [09:45] Noiano, normally you dont set the blocksize to be more then like 4K or so.. 1024, is also common. anything higher dosent gain any preformaance from what i recall reading [09:45] skurakai1: what version of ubuntu are you using? [09:46] Noiano: If you try changing count=1 to count=2 does that give you 32 bytes? [09:46] BlueEagle, the command seems to freeze... [09:46] anyone know where i can get rmbr.exe for dell inspiron 6400 laptops? [09:46] i need to disable or remap this stupid dell media button [09:46] Hi, I'm looking at installing Ubuntu on to my computer by using the installer to resize my existing NTFS partition with windows XP installed on it. I need to know that if when I run the option to resize the partition, that it will not wipe my windows XP install. Is this correct? [09:46] bricked my laptop this morning, don't want to do it again [09:48] voy1d, firstly -back up all your important files, second defrag windows and if you can resize it from windows (partition magic) that would be the best [09:48] Noiano: Hang on. Trying to make this work. [09:48] BlueEagle, thanks [09:48] hi [09:48] hi there [09:48] I can't see clear video from kaffeine DVB. Do i need a codec or something for kaffeine? I have nvidea dirvers installed. [09:49] voy1d, but to your question -it should'nt wipe out your xp [09:49] how do I get my external hdd to mount automatically? [09:49] itai: Thanks, thats all I needed to know (all important stuff is on a seperate disk entirely) [09:51] voy1d, also remember that linux has different names from partitions ,if you use a live Cd make sure you understand the partition table before you resize anything === hume_ is now known as hume [09:53] Noiano: man random [09:53] Noiano: 3rd paragraph. [09:53] ppl hey [09:53] BlueEagle, thanks I'll read it right now [09:53] gotta minor problem [09:54] i accidently deleted lower panel [09:54] Hi, is there a programme which allows me to resume playback of a mp3 at a certain point? I have audiobooks which consist of only a few files, so it would be great, if I could continue where i stopped, without having to remeber where I was. [09:54] but when created it again minimized windows do not appear there [09:55] any ideas? [09:55] BlueEagle, you give me a function referenece not a command reference...is that what you meant? [09:55] rgnr, theres a 'task applet' you need to add to the panel [09:55] Noiano: As such I do recomend using /dev/random as a seed for a pseudo-random generator. [09:55] rgnr, right clic on the pannel and see what applets youc an add [09:55] it's called windows list [09:55] windows list [09:55] yes [09:56] no that's not the one [09:56] it shows icon with te menu [09:56] of minimized programs [09:56] rgnr, start adding applkets till ya find the one ya want. :) [09:56] it's the normal one, windows-style [09:56] i did trie all of them [09:56] there's one with a similar name, sure you chose the right one? [09:58] oh right ) [09:58] it's task list [09:58] ;) [09:58] not the windows list [09:58] I was close! [09:58] :) [09:58] :) [09:58] taks list? I don't even have that one [09:58] what does it do? [09:59] I think theres some gnome panel applets in the repos. not installed by default [09:59] there used to be an option to grphicaly log as root in dapper (recovery mode) is it still there in hardy? [10:00] hey all, I [10:00] oops. [10:00] laku_: hello laku :) [10:01] I copied some files from a cd to my hdd, and no I can't play the mp3 on Amarok. I have locks on the folders (G_ [10:01] (GUI) [10:01] hey, dekkong [10:01] laku_: Are you the owner of the files after they are copied? [10:01] sorry for all the typos..... [10:01] laku_: or if you're not the owner, do you have read access to them? [10:03] anyone? [10:03] yeah, I think. I can open them, one secI'll double check [10:04] can you tell me about difference of ubuntu and kubuntu? [10:04] laku_: Well, if you can read them, how can you not play them with amarok? [10:05] damn I clicked move to trash button on rhtymnbox... anyway to untrash those files.. to the same path where they were before? [10:05] msshams: ubuntu uses gnome as the default window manager. kubuntu uses kde as the default window manager. [10:05] abchirk: try looking for "restore" on the files in your trash box. [10:05] msshams: Other than that they are pretty much the same. [10:05] can ubuntu support multiple monitors? [10:05] BlueEagle there is nothin like that. :( [10:05] ryth, 'linux' and X can... so ubuntu can [10:06] BlueEagle: only difference is in desktop environment? [10:06] how do you tell it to? [10:06] msshams: Yes. There's no problem in turning ubuntu into something that works like kubuntu and vice versa. [10:06] ryth, depens on your video card to some degree.. for my nvidia systems.. i install the nvidia drivers, and enable twinview/tv out/monitors with the nvida-settings tool [10:06] abchirk: Well, I don't use gnome, but I would think that there would be. :) [10:06] BlueEagle: That's what I'm also not understanding [10:07] BlueEagle: so, if i have ubuntu and install kde on it, then it isn't any difference with kubuntu? [10:07] BlueEagle that was my thought too, but I don't see anything [10:07] Only empty tash [10:07] msshams : no there is no difference. install kubuntu-desktop and you will be ok [10:07] msshams: That is (mostly) correct. You will still have the same bootsplash and, unless you change it, the gnome login manager. [10:08] msshams: But those are eye candy and in all other respects you'll have a kubuntu equivalent. [10:08] hay I have a questin [10:08] Dr_willis: I got an nvidia 8600 GT with drivers for nvida installed for ubuntu. Where would the settings tool be? [10:08] тут на русском языке общаются?

Type « sudo apt-get install gparted » in a console to install it - A GParted "live" CD is available at http://gparted.sourceforge.net/livecd.php [10:18] that sounds complicaterd [10:18] if I lose my files how do I get my gmail [10:18] ecmuller: See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsDualBoot [10:18] ecmuller, what do you mean how do you get your gmail? [10:18] ecmuller: It's not more complicated than moving a slider. However when doing low-level operations on your disk I always recomend having backups of non-replacable data. [10:18] ecmuller, gmail has nothing to do with it.. and if you worried bout it.. then dont do it.. or try linux inside virtualbox/vmware or wubi [10:19] ecmuller: Well, having those backups is a good idea in any case. [10:19] Backup your bckups! [10:19] I don't have room to backup I only have 50mb free [10:19] * Dr_willis_ can get his Gmail on the Wii :) === warren_ is now known as htrejh [10:19] some one know is it possible to import buddies from polish server Gadu Gadu to the pidgin? [10:19] ecmuller, then you really need to freeup some space. [10:19] Dr_willis: how do you save a file under root access? [10:19] ecmuller: Why do you want to install Ubuntu? [10:20] ecmuller: When I say "backup" I do mean "copy to removable media and store in a safe place". [10:20] ryth, depends on what you mean. you normally launch the editor as root.. [10:20] I here ubunto is better than windowas [10:20] ecmuller, what kind of computer system do you have that you want to install Ubuntu on? [10:20] it's a compaq [10:20] some one know is it possible to import buddies from polish server Gadu Gadu to the pidgin? [10:20] ecmuller: Have you tried running Ubuntu from a LiveCD yet? [10:21] ecmuller: You are aware that linux and windows do not (automatically) run the same programs and games, do you not? [10:21] ecmuller, cool... what is the model number? [10:21] s/do/are/ [10:21] I don't know...I got it in 1996 [10:21] ecmuller, wow [10:21] epic_fi : lol [10:21] ecmuller: http://linux.oneandoneis2.org/LNW.htm might be a good read. :) [10:21] albuntu, mega [10:22] anyone got any tips for a kernel panic after hibernation in 7.10? regular and recovery mode both panic [10:22] it should be better than widows with ubunto [10:22] I here it's much faster [10:22] and no virusses [10:22] I think I have a lot of viruss [10:23] ecmuller, well, here's the deal... if you are being serious, then I need you to tell me how much memory your computer has in it right now [10:23] 50mb left [10:23] k.. how do I open the editor as root... :/ [10:23] ecmuller, okay, 50mb left on your hard drive? [10:23] ryth: gedit, nano, which editor? [10:23] hi. I installed the virtualbox and get the following error: mdm.System.Registry.getValueNames - unable to open key "\HARDWARE\DEVICEMAP\SERIALCOMM" for read. how can I solve this? [10:23] on my c: [10:24] gedit [10:24] Hello! Is there way to install gnome 2.24 on Ubuntu 8.04 [10:24] ryth: Which editor? for gedit (Text editor) you'd press Alt+F2, then run "gksudo gedit" [10:24] ryth: you can either "sudo gedit" or "gksudo gedit" in terminal [10:24] ecmuller, cool... so that's your hard drive, not your memory, do you know what RAM is? [10:25] what does sudo stand for? and what's the difference between sudo and gksudo? haha [10:25] do I have to open it up to see [10:25] neosix: yes, but it is a much better idea to wait for 8.10 to be released in a couple of weeks and then upgrade to 8.10 [10:25] ryth: SUper-user DO [10:25] !gksudo | ryth [10:25] ah [10:25] ryth: If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why) [10:25] ryth: gksudo is the GUI version of sudo [10:25] how to convert flv to mp4 or mov using ffmpeg? [10:25] !gksu [10:25] ecmuller : yes. you have to put it inside your tv to read it well [10:25] thanks :) [10:25] Hi there, I am using hardy, after upgrade from fresh installation my iwl3945 card stopped working. I installed backport modules from the backports repository, and now I don't have snd_hda_intel anymore... [10:26] my kids are in sudo classes I think...one has a yellow belt [10:26] where is snd_hda_intel??? [10:26] if I type in any command with a ! here will it give me a syntax? [10:26] !sudo [10:26] sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (Gnome), or !kdesu (KDE) [10:26] in my TV? [10:26] !bot [10:26] Hi! I'm #ubuntu's favorite infobot, you can search my brain yourself at http://tinyurl.com/5zfb6t - Usage info: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBots [10:26] cool..... [10:26] haha [10:26] ryth, depeds if the bot has the factoid or not [10:26] ecmuller, dope [10:26] just in case it got looked over ;): anyone got any tips for a kernel panic after hibernation in 7.10? regular and recovery mode both panic [10:27] ecmuller=triZoll [10:27] ubuntu_todd: ffmpeg -i file.flv file.mp4 should work if you are using the medibuntu version of ffmpeg at least [10:27] hello [10:27] what's a triZoll? [10:27] epic_fi : hahahaha [10:27] albuntu, serious tard [10:27] ecmuller, a troll [10:27] siigna: Have you captured the Panic back-trace in logs? Have you searched https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/ for similar reports? [10:28] ecmuller, I think you are a troll [10:28] that's rude....you don't even know what I lok like [10:28] jrib: OK thanks [10:28] ecmuller, go hide under a bridge [10:28] IntuitiveNipple: unfortunately i can't even boot it [10:28] !language [10:28] Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [10:28] siigna: From cold? [10:28] a bridge? [10:28] jrib: output stream #0.1 audio 0x0000. Error: Unsupported codec for output stream #0.1 [10:29] hello [10:29] IntuitiveNipple: yep, tried the regular boot and the recovery boot, both panic [10:29] aaargh I want both my sound and my wifi back in the "long term support".... [10:29] siigna: You mean the Panic is while loading/using the hibernation file? [10:29] I just want to get this new thng to make my computer betre [10:29] ubuntu_todd: pastebin 'apt-cache policy ffmpeg' [10:29] any recommendation about a program for managing iptables? [10:29] IntuitiveNipple: it appears to be so [10:29] I herd ubunto is the best [10:29] ecmuller, go spend a few days using the ubuntu live cd.. then come back. [10:29] siigna: That is strange. If the hibernation image in swap isn't good, it should ignore it and go to a cold boot [10:29] betuto: ufw or firestarter? [10:29] ecmuller, sorry if I offended you, it's just that we have tried to tell you in many different ways on how to go about getting what you're after, but you aren't listening to us [10:29] IntuitiveNipple: yeah, that's what i thought [10:29] !pm | ubuntu_todd [10:29] ubuntu_todd: 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. [10:30] IntuitiveNipple: here, let me give it a boot and see what the panic is exactly [10:30] ecmuller: First off. To install any operating system you will need to know abit more about your hardware than you appear to do. Now, Ubuntu has come a long way in helping set up things automatically, but not everything works out of the box. [10:30] jrib: thank you!!!! [10:30] ecmuller : read about ubuntu and use the live cd os you have an idea [10:30] but you told me nothing....just that my memory is 50mb [10:30] ecmuller, a live cd does not install to the hard drive.. no space needed [10:30] ] [10:30] ecmuller: Secondly, you can boot from the desktop cd and try Ubuntu. If it is something you may want to use on a regular basis then you may concider installing it. [10:30] IntuitiveNipple: "Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init!" [10:31] ubuntu_todd: 'apt-cache policy ffmpeg' is a command that I want you to run and pastebin the output of [10:31] jrib: how to use that apt-cache policy ffmpeg. I entered in the terminal but how to deal with the results? [10:31] !pastebin > ubuntu_todd [10:31] ubuntu_todd, please see my private message [10:31] ecmuller: Also, when you want to install another operating system, be it linux, *bsd or beos, then you need to set aside a partition or dedicated space on your harddrive for that operating system. [10:31] bye all [10:31] Are you able to compile new programs from source once I get ubuntu partitioned and installed or do I have to use the packages [10:31] later [10:31] siigna: When booting, go into the GRUB menu, edit the kernel command-line and add "resume=" - that *should* cause the kernel to not look for the hibernate image in swap, and then boot normally [10:31] ecmuller: either [10:32] ecmuller: Finally I urge you to read http://linux.oneandoneis2.org/LNW.htm so that you realize that Linux is not Windows. [10:32] IntuitiveNipple: alright, let me give that a shot here real quick [10:32] ecmuller: though the packages are definitely preferred over compiling from source if they are available [10:33] blueEagle: you mean winblows does't run ubunto [10:33] Hi, what is the command again to stop certain services from booting up? sysctl something.. I forget [10:33] jrib: can not understand that. I never use that before. [10:33] ecmuller, you might want to start spelling Ubuntu correctly. [10:33] ecmuller: Please read the link. [10:33] BonezAU: 'man update-rc.d', System -> Administration -> Services, or sysv-rc-conf [10:33] jrib: I can just copy and paste [10:33] jrib: I am using pidgin [10:33] how do you spell ubantoo [10:33] hi there, i have no sound at all if i boot in text mode.. while if i boot in graphical mode (gdm) sounds works .. same problem as described here : http://ubuntu-virginia.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=5584843 [10:33] ubuntu_todd: yes, but to the paste.ubuntu.com site. It's very straightforward [10:34] anyone have an idea? [10:34] siigna: That error message you just showed "not syncing: Attempted to kill init!" - that usually happens as a result of a problem with the initrd initial ram-disk image [10:34] anyone an Idee how to solve this (VirutalBox)??: mdm.System.Registry.getValueNames - unable to open key "\HARDWARE\DEVICEMAP\SERIALCOMM" for read [10:34] jrib, not what I was thinking of... it's an actual utility that runs in a terminal and allows you to just untick certain services that aren't required, eg Bluetooth [10:34] ecmuller: You would have to have spelled it to join this channel, wouldn't you? [10:34] jrib: after I paste that, how could you see my post? [10:34] !sysv [10:34] Sorry, I don't know anything about sysv [10:34] !upstart [10:34] Upstart is meant to replace the old Sys V Init system with an event-driven init model. For more information please see: http://upstart.ubuntu.com/ [10:34] BlueEagle: I gave you 3 and the last one is the one you just described [10:34] I just clicked in the chat link [10:34] jrib? [10:34] I only did it a couple of weeks ago, and it was sysctl or something very similar [10:34] ubuntu_todd: you tell me the url [10:35] BonezAU: I gave you 3 and the last one is the one you just described [10:35] why can't you guys all get nicks that start with different letters :P [10:35] tavi, you still here? [10:35] jrib, thanks I will give it a shot [10:35] BonezAU: sysv-rc-conf [10:35] ecmuller: Still there's a high probability that #ubuntu is shown somewhere in your chat client. [10:35] IntuitiveNipple, thanks [10:35] itai yes [10:35] ive done that [10:35] jrib:http://paste.ubuntu.com/56241/ [10:35] but the same problem [10:35] .... [10:35] tavi, any progress? [10:35] tavi: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [10:36] so #ubunti starts with a # [10:36] ecmuller: please stop. [10:36] guys he's a troll [10:36] IntuitiveNipple: alright, i tried out resume= on regular and single (recovery) boot, got the same thing [10:36] ubuntu_todd: you don't have the version from medibuntu installed. You are also using hardy-proposed for some strange reason [10:36] you don't know anything about me [10:36] ecmuller: do you have an ubuntu support question? (ask it) [10:36] guys, I've been the "ubuntu guy" for two years in my department, I've quarreled with people, I've made people switch because I believed in what ubuntu said [10:36] my next question is... I have an old IBM T40 laptop with a Centrino 1.5ghz CPU. It runs very slow... is there any value in me forcing the CPU speed to 1500mhz rather than using speedstep/powernowd to control it? It never leaves my desk and is always connected to AC power. I just want MAXIMUM performance from it... thanks [10:37] jrib:How could I change that. [10:37] Le-Chuck_ITA: what is your ubuntu problem? [10:37] Le-Chuck_ITA, then you saw Linux Mint? [10:37] no [10:37] ecmuller : there are too many other places where you can chit chat. go in other chat servers and you can chit chat all day [10:37] yes I need to install ubunto and windoows to get ntfs [10:37] ubuntu_todd: well you shouldn't be using hardy-proposed, so you should disable that first [10:37] then I saw so many regression that I am going to throw ubuntu away [10:37] and today I found a regression in a LTS UPDATE [10:37] !ntfs > ecmuller [10:37] ecmuller, please see my private message [10:37] jrib: I add medu in my source list [10:38] siigna: I think my observation about a problem with initrd might be it then. Check the GRUB entries - see what disks they point to, etc. Is it possible the system did a kernel-update or ran "update-initramfs" prior to the hibernate, and before the system was restarted? [10:38] Le-Chuck_ITA, can you explain this "regression" stuff? [10:38] Le-Chuck_ITA: if you have an issue, please explain it to us. If you just want to rant, do so in #ubuntu-offtopic [10:38] which has been properly reported, fix-released, and it's still there. And MANUAL FIDDLING with backport modules breaks sound support. THE OPPOSITE of what "my mother's favourite distro" should be [10:38] ubuntu_todd: you have medibuntu already. The problem is you also have hardy-proposed. You need to disable hardy-proposed [10:38] Stupendoussteve, i thought about asking.. then decided i dident want to hear a rant. :) [10:38] jrib: OK [10:38] I don't want to rant, I want to know if you think regressions are handled properly or not in ubuntu. I've reported so many of them in release to release that I'm tired sick of doing that [10:38] Le-Chuck_ITA: you're on 8.10? [10:39] now I am on 8.04 [10:39] and is on 8.04 that I started crying [10:39] anyone? [10:39] I've trying to install a package in 8.04, but apt-get keeps saying it can't find it (err 404). Here's how it looks: http://pastie.org/289973 --fix-missing and apt-get update don't help [10:39] Le-Chuck_ITA: fix-released just guarantees it's on the latest development version. It may not be possible to get the fix into previous versions [10:39] *been [10:39] I cant say ive ever heard the term 'regression' used befor.. so i have very very little to say on the topic. [10:39] Hi all [10:39] hi patrick [10:39] IntuitiveNipple: crap, you know what... i just realized, i was upgrading packages, 'cause it was a stock 7.10 install, in the console. and w/out thinking about it i hit hibernate in X [10:39] because my tablet went out for assistance in june, and I got it back in september, so I had not seen how hardy had "gone bad" on my laptop [10:39] Dr_willis.. I've got both monitors showing exactly the same thing... not exactly what I was expecting haha [10:40] siigna: eeeek!! === patrick is now known as Guest70932 [10:40] i have a problem with Cedega and Ubuntu 8.04, cant seem to start cedega 6.1 [10:40] IntuitiveNipple: yeah, exactly [10:40] 6.0.X works fine [10:40] jrib: it was a bug introduced in kernel 2.6.24-7 [10:40] Dr_willis_: something that worked before stop working with a new update [10:40] snitko: are you currently connected to the internet? [10:40] ryth, thats 'clone' mode.. the nvidia-settings tool lets you have one wide moitor. [10:40] Dr_willis_: that's a regression [10:40] siigna: OK, so the initrd is possibly messed up? [10:40] jrib: the "fix" is "install linux-backport-modules" from the backport repository [10:40] erUSUL, sounds like a 'bug' to me. :) [10:40] where do I get the nvidia settings tool? [10:40] is this a FIX to a regression introduced in a LTS RELEASE UPDATE? [10:40] siigna: Are there any older kernels on there still? [10:40] snitko : is that pc connected to internet ? [10:40] I don't think so [10:40] I am tired sick of this policy of ignoring regressions [10:41] ziroday: yes, I checked in browser, files DO NOT exists indeed. There are some newer versions of them [10:41] Le-Chuck_ITA: if that doesn't work, you should be commenting on the bug page? [10:41] yes [10:41] but TODAY how will I SKYPE with my brand new LTS? [10:41] IntuitiveNipple: Yeah, most likely... you know what, i got it to boot using the initrd.bak it generated [10:41] the old kernel that worked is NO LONGER IN THE ARCHIVES [10:41] Dr_willis_: a regression is something that happens when an application decreses in function or reliability when upgraded or due to other software (ie libraries or kernel) being upgraded. [10:41] !enter | Le-Chuck_ITA [10:41] Le-Chuck_ITA: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [10:41] my next question is... I have an old IBM T40 laptop with a Centrino 1.5ghz CPU. It runs very slow... is there any value in me forcing the CPU speed to 1500mhz rather than using speedstep/powernowd to control it? It never leaves my desk and is always connected to AC power. I just want MAXIMUM performance from it... thanks [10:41] Dr_willis_: well a regression is seen in linux in much worse light than a simply bug... becouse things that worked should keep working and if a bug is there for a long time users know it [10:41] siigna: nice one! :) [10:41] IntuitiveNipple: it's giving some read-only fs errors though :/ i don't think that'll be a prob though [10:41] Why can't I play mp3 files??? I've tried with rhytmbox & amarok!! :< [10:41] BlueEagle, Like windows XP to windows Vista. :) [10:41] !mp3 | laku [10:41] laku: For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/common-tasks-chap.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats === neil is now known as h4wk [10:42] BonezAU: then change the cpufreq policy to performance [10:42] ubuntu_todd: disabled -proposed already? [10:42] ziroday, albuntu: obviously there's got to be way to tell apt-get to update link to that files, but apt-get update does not help [10:42] I just want to hear somebody else admitting that regressions in ubuntu are not dealt with properly [10:42] erUSUL, ok. first time today ive ever heard that term used. [10:42] siigna: It's limping but you should be able to sort things out now. If all else fails and you've got a LiveCD around, boot from that and then fix the file-system etc [10:42] Dr_willis_: Yes. Many things had regression issues there. ie. creative drivers. [10:42] -ruthvenie [10:42] erUSUL, how do I do that? [10:42] jrib: is this one in source list deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ hardy-proposed restricted main multiverse universe??? [10:42] thanks, ubottu [10:42] ubuntu_todd: yeah [10:42] !thanks [10:42] You're welcome! But keep in mind I'm just a bot ;-) [10:43] BonezAU: man cpufreq-selector ;) [10:43] erUSUL, cheers [10:43] IntuitiveNipple: only problem is that it's an old fujitsu tablet ;) no usb boot, no cd and no floppy. i had to put the drive in my laptop for the initial install [10:43] anyone used to VirtualBox? [10:43] linuxius: best to just ask the channel your question [10:43] siigna: network boot using PXE ? [10:43] linuxius, kinda... what's up? [10:43] jrib: Ok done. so what's next? [10:43] snitko: to understand correcty, you are connected to the internet currently? [10:43] siigna: Ahhh, then a chroot in the other PC will be just as good [10:43] ziroday`: yes I am, absolutely === pl4sMa_ is now known as pl4sMa [10:43] ubuntu_todd: sudo apt-get install ffmpeg=3:0.cvs20070307-5ubuntu7.1+medibuntu1 [10:44] IntuitiveNipple: don't have the dock for it so while there is a nic, no port ;) [10:44] snitko: okay, where in the world are you? === Guest70932 is now known as Lightlancer === erik__ is now known as Exittor [10:44] siigna: You're on an uphill battle there!

[10:45] ignore the damn problem [10:45] linuxius: host OS is windows XP? Are you getting the error on the host or guest? [10:45] IntuitiveNipple: yeah, i might just have to do a reinstall. hopefully i can remember how i configured the fpit driver for the touchscreen. only reason i'm using 7.10 is because 8.04 has a bug where you touch the screen and X crashes, and it doesn't work at all in the 8.10 alpha [10:45] actually I don't think I will get ubotto [10:45] !lista [10:45] Sorry, I don't know anything about lista [10:45] ziroday`: okay ) I just wanted to make it easier. The server is in Newark. it is connected to the internet, because I can connect it and because I've installed other packages before [10:45] linuxius, does that error appear when VBox starts up or is it a Windows error, like when you log on? [10:45] while opening the program [10:45] I see that richard stallman is in NAMBLA [10:45] that offends me [10:46] ecmuller: That's a personal opinion and more suited for #ubuntu-offtopic [10:46] jrib: Done [10:46] ubuntu_todd: try to conver with ffmpeg now [10:46] linuxius, okay, have you installed the guest additions yet? [10:46] siigna: If you've got into it you should be able to sort the issue out [10:46] no, windows boots fine, when I start the installed program (data center software for sports) everything is alright, then when I try to connect to a USB device the error comes.. [10:46] jrib: do you wanner the output of apt-cache policy ffmpeg? [10:46] IntuitiveNipple: well, it booted up, i'm running dpkg --configure -a in the console to see if that fixes it up, no errors so far [10:46] !guidelines > ecmuller [10:46] snitko : try googling for the repos of your ubuntu version and change your sources.list [10:46] someone also have problems with cedega 6.1 (it wont start) [10:46] ubuntu_todd: nope [10:47] ziroday`: the thing is, the files really do not exist. If you check the names in browser, there's similar files, just a bit newer and, therefore, with a different names. [10:47] !who | linuxius [10:47] linuxius: 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 :) [10:47] epic_fi: no, windows boots fine, when I start the installed program (data center software for sports) everything is alright, then when I try to connect to a USB device the error comes.. [10:47] snitko: you can try remove those files [10:47] linuxius, ok... so what it's saying is, is that it can't locate a driver for whatever device you're plugging in [10:47] linuxius, what are you trying to plug in? [10:47] albuntu: yep ) the version is hardy. all repos are correct [10:47] jrib: yes, host OS is Windows XP... [10:47] How can I select a directory with pictures, and have a screensaver display them as a slideshow? [10:48] ziroday`: emm, from ubuntu repo? [10:48] linuxius: where's ubuntu in all this?

[10:48] jrib: I have standard Ubuntu, installed VirtualBox, and Windows XP in that... [10:49] linuxius: Still having problems with that device then? the cdc-acm kernel module was no help? [10:49] hi [10:49] linuxius, so the error is happening in windows when you try to plug in the device? [10:49] resize2fs -f /dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 10G <--- does that reduce by 10gig or down to 10 gig? === patrick is now known as Guest61359 [10:49] snitko: no, no from your local computer.

[10:50] ziroday`: no, none of this worked [10:51] linuxius, ok, if the error is happening on the windows side of things, then you need to install the drivers in order for the operating system to recognize and register the device [10:51] jrib: you man the ffmpeg. that is ffmpeg -i I.flv I.mp4 [10:51] epic_fi: no, I can plug it in, then boot, everything is fine. Within the program, there's a button which should connect to the device and get the files. when I press it, the error occurs... [10:51] snitko: hmm, have you run sudo apt-get update lately? [10:51] so this is a windows error [10:51] jrib: From what linuxius said yesterday, he's running Ubuntu on the host, trying to get access to a USB cycle computer that presents as a USB serial device in windows, and is causing the Linux cdc-acm kernel module to load in Ubuntu, but from Ubuntu he has no tools to access the cycling computer, so is trying Windows in V.B. but now, it seems, is having V.B. USB host issues :) [10:51] jrib: sorry, guess I misunderstud your question..

I always enable the showlogo option so i actually SEE the nvidia logo splash screen on each X startup.. so i am sure im using the nvidia drivers [10:56] ziroday`: i tried removing, but there's nothing to remove [10:56] snitko: okay. Do sudo apt-get clean and see if it clears the error [10:57] ryth, hers my xorg.conf for an example.. it has tv out enabled.. in widescreen mode.

The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic) [11:24] ubuntu_todd: ah right, you do actually need the medibuntu versions of the packages probably. So you need to do 'apt-cache policy PACKAGE' and make sure the medibuntu version is installed. If it's not, then install it (like we did with ffmpeg). Makes sense? [11:25] that command didn't work, but ok (pastebinit) [11:26] jrib: libavcodec-dev: Installed: (none) Candidate: 3:0.cvs20070307-5ubuntu7.1+medibuntu1 So how could I install that.

See what version you have installed with 'apt-cache policy libavcodec1d'. Pastebin the output [11:28] where do i get autocad compatible software? [11:29] Jordan_U, ah, do i have to reboot, then?

[11:38] guys can anyone tell me the routing command... I want to route the network 10.1.254.0 to gateway 192.168.0.1 [11:38] deb means debian [11:38] ubuntu_todd: in what context? It's short for "debian" or a file using the debian packaging format (.deb) [11:38] bshakil, the command is "route" [11:39] i mean complete command.. [11:39] jrib: what's the relationship between deb and medibuntu and ubuntu? [11:40] ubuntu_todd: ubuntu is based on debian. ubuntu (and medibuntu) packages are in the .deb format [11:40] !debian | ubuntu_todd [11:40] ubuntu_todd: Ubuntu and Debian are closely related. Ubuntu builds on the foundations of Debian architecture and infrastructure, with a different community and release process. See http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/relationship - Remember, !repositories meant for Debian should NOT be used on Ubuntu! [11:40] ubuntu_todd, debian and ubuntu are distributions, medibuntu is a set of packages that are made for ubuntu but not part of it [11:40] i uninstalled my fglrx hardware driver and now compiz doesn't start at alll!! talks about xgl not being enabled and falls back to metacity [11:40] prova [11:40] http://pastie.caboo.se/private/rmaxkjf7d7ib7fnpocpnuq [11:41] LOL @ http://ubuntusatanic.org/forum/comments.php?DiscussionID=63&page=1#Item_0 [11:41] jrib: You told the package with deb has nothing to do with problem [11:42] ubuntu_todd: nah, I said the packages ending with "-dev" were unrelated. Those packages are used for building software [11:42] jrib: so that -dev means development [11:42] ubuntu_todd: yep [11:44] can I use command like this "!debian | ubuntu_todd" in my pidgin? [11:44] Jordan_U, is sudo dpkg -r kav4ws what i use to remove it, & try to reinstall it? [11:44] jrib: can I use command like this "!debian | ubuntu_todd" in my pidgin? [11:44] ubuntu_todd: sure, but it's better to do this: /msg ubottu debian . Then you will get a private message from ubottu and can ask him more factoids in that private message [11:45] help me for ss2 tv card remote with remote lirc program pls === airstrike is now known as airsleep [11:45] jrib: But others told me ubottu is a machine not a person [11:45] ubuntu_todd: he is [11:45] a machine [11:46] jrib: so how could he replies to me in private message. Can he understand my question? [11:46] ubuntu_todd: you can ask him factoids. like "debian" [11:47] ubuntu_todd: so all the !foo stuff you see in this channel, he can tell you privately [11:47] jrib: what's the !foo? [11:47] Hi, I have a Toshiba 305 laptop (atheros wifi w/ ndiswrapper). It has been fine on 8.04 for 9 months, but recently I booted into Vista for a couple days (for the first time in many months). When I came back to Ubuntu, the wireless options has disappeared from the applet [11:48] where should I look? [11:48] ubuntu_todd: I mean any factoid that you see here like !mp3 or !repos, etc. [11:48] !mp3 [11:48] For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/common-tasks-chap.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats [11:48] jrib: is that? [11:48] how can I take a backup of my downloaded apps and reinstall ubuntu 7.10 [11:49] ubuntu_todd: sure that's an example of a factoid you can ask ubottu privately [11:49] !clone | d_rwin [11:49] d_rwin: To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « dpkg --get-selections > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo dpkg --set-selections < my-packages && sudo apt-get dselect-upgrade » - See also !automate [11:49] copy then paste [11:49] jrib: but nothing come out when I type !mp3 here. I can get the private info after i type /msg ubottu debian [11:50] what s !clone and !automate [11:50] d_rwin: !clone is the trigger for the information ubottu gave you [11:50] !debian [11:50] Ubuntu and Debian are closely related. Ubuntu builds on the foundations of Debian architecture and infrastructure, with a different community and release process. See http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/relationship - Remember, !repositories meant for Debian should NOT be used on Ubuntu! [11:50] Greetings, my sound had mysteriously stopped. I've checked the hardware-side and it works. After a reboot the problem is still there (it simply doesn't produce any sound). Does anyone have tips on how to figure out where the problem might be? [11:50] ubuntu_todd: ubottu responded to you when you did !mp3 and !debian. Explore with him in a private message please [11:51] I have a Ubuntu server running on a VPS. When I upload files they're given a very restrictive set of file permissions. Is this an OS level security feature, or the FTPd doing this? [11:51] jrib: Got it. Thanks. [11:51] movedx: doubt I can help, but what permissions are being given? [11:51] movedx: FTPd usually [11:51] jrib:Got it, I shoud do "/msg ubottu mp3" [11:51] ubuntu_todd: yeah [11:51] jrib: Just read & write to the owner and nothing else for the other groups. [11:52] IntuitiveNipple: I thought as much. I'm checking the settings now. [11:52] jrib: what is a trigger , diff b/w the channel (#c]automate) === Aragon^ is now known as Aragon [11:53] d_rwin: it's just a phrase that ubottu sees and responds to [11:53] jrib: I got a lot from you. Thanks. [11:53] d_rwin: it's not important for your question, you just need what ubottu actually told you :) [11:53] ubuntu_todd: no problem [11:53] hi! [11:54] hi [11:56] I have a problem. I have a fritzbox dsl modem/router which gives dhcp addresses from 192.168.178.20-200, I have a wireless router connected to 192.168.178.20 which has a dhcp server in it too, with an address range of 192.168.0.11-100 to which a laptop is connect on 192.168.0.15, I have setup a static route on the fritzbox with a networkaddress of 192.168.0.1 mas 255.255.255.0 and a gateway... [11:56] ...of 192.168.178.20, but still i cannot ping the laptop from my pc which is connected to the fritzbox.. what am I doing wrong? [11:56] qcad asks for permissions. What are these permissions? [11:58] can someone help me setup compiz? something seems to be wrong with it... [11:58] aldipc: Have you set up a reciprocal route on 192.168.178.20 to route from 192.168.0/24 to 192.168.178/24 ? [11:58] Thanks all the guys here. I learn about here from you guys. I can get almost the answers I need when I find any kind of problem related to ubuntu. [11:59] intuitivenippple: in the wireless lan there is a route with destination 192.168.178.0 255.255.255.0 to 192.168.178.20, just as I would expect.. I can ping my pc from my laptop, but not my laptop from my pc! [12:00] totally weird! [12:00] aldipc.. primitive firewalls may block a basic ping... try somethine more advanced [12:00] aldipc: is it because the static or dynamic ip address? [12:00] on both systems I have ubuntu installed... same version.. so why would it then work only in one way? [12:00] this is driving me crazy [12:00] as alwys [12:01] aldipc: so, from the laptop, it sees ping replies (confirming that reciprocal routing is OK), but trying to route into that subnet fails? [12:01] is anyone here any good with Samba? I've been pulling my hair out for the past 13 hours, and I STILL can't figure this out === jeeves is now known as Guest81016 [12:01] intuitivenipple: right! [12:01] <[agatha]> hi, i don't know what's exactly the problem because yesterday it was working fine, but my computer has no sound at all... i have checked and it's not in mute or anything, so i really dont have a clue of what may be happening... [12:01] where do i set locale on 8.04? [12:02] <[agatha]> any ideas? [12:02] hi all ! [12:02] aldipc: I'd recommend running tcpdump monitoring ICMP packets on the laptop, and then from the PC start a ping to the laptop. That way you can find out if the laptop is receiving the packets and they are lost on the return trip, or if the routing into the sub-net is faulty [12:02] [agatha], try running dmesg - do you see sound hardware starting up? [12:02] <[agatha]> moment [12:03] my ubuntu 7.10 is slow , can anyone help me to shred some of the garbage files in my system [12:03] I want remove my boot for reinstall with USB netinstall. What must i do for remove boot ? [12:03] aldipc: interestingly, I wrote an awk script yesterday to help a network admin solve a similar issue. See it might help: http://tjworld.net/wiki/Linux/NetworkPacketMonitoringWithAwk [12:03] but in principle my setup should work!! [12:04] aldipc: but in practice... ! [12:04] I just don't understand why it doesn't, especially because the problem is only one way! [12:04] <[agatha]> hmmm not really qwe1 [12:04] <[agatha]> qweqweqwe, [12:04] <[agatha]> i cant see anything but maybe im just not recognizing it [12:04] I'll try that command. one moment [12:05] (let me try again with my invisibility cloak off)... Ubuntu stopped playing sound. Can someone help me try to figure out what is wrong? [12:05] plz help me use autocad files in qcad or any other ubuntu program [12:06] my ubuntu 7.10 is slow , can anyone help me to shred some of the garbage files in my system [12:06] hmm... I have to install the script there.. [12:07] aldipc: Have you confirmed that the PC is routing packets to the default gateway (the dsl router) by monitoring the traffic? [12:07] Ciao a tutti [12:07] plz help me use autocad files in qcad or any other ubuntu program [12:07] sup all; can someone give me a hand with xchat and psybnc? my username matches my login/username in psy -- and i am using unicode 8 --- im not sure where to begin on the troubleshoot [12:07] aldipc: Only if you want to try that... I'd use Wireshark or tcpdump manually on the PC and laptop to check on what is happening [12:07] my pc is connected to my fritzbox dsl router which works fine.. internet works fine from the laptop which is connected over a wire to the wirelessmodem [12:08] the laptop can ping the pc, but the pc cannot ping the laptop [12:08] how do I use tcpdump [12:08] aldipc: great, but have you actually checked what is 'on the wire' when the PC pings the laptop on the other sub-net? [12:08] no suitable device found it says [12:09] jrib: my ubuntu 7.10 is slow , can anyone help me to shred some of the garbage files in my system [12:09] aldipc: the command format shown in my wiki article, but without the pipe to awk [12:09] new2ubuntu: I think you need to understand the linux system a little better before trying to run qcad and similar. Get to know about permissions and general linux workings I do not know about cad programs though === chaky_ is now known as chaky [12:09] aldipc: sudo tcpdump -i $INTERFACE -n -l -O icmp [12:09] ok [12:10] okay I will try that.. one moment it listens now [12:10] my ubuntu 7.10 is slow , can anyone help me to shred some of the garbage files in my system [12:11] intuitivenipple: nothing [12:11] <[agatha]> ok i restarted and in the login screen there's a sound... when the session starts no sound again, no matter what [12:11] intuitivenipple: but when I ping my own laptop from another xterm window tcpdump doesn't show anything either! [12:12] Jordan_U, i figured it out =P i wasn't using sudo before the kav-scanner command. but it wasn't telling me 'no permissions..' =P anyway [12:13] aldipc: On the same PC? You'd need to monitor the 'lo' localhost interface [12:13] anyway pinging the laptop from the pc does not show anything!! [12:13] my ubuntu 7.10 is slow , can anyone help me to shred some of the garbage files in my system [12:14] i installed the ATI drivers for my Radeon 9800 card last night, and now when i start my pc when i should be getting the login screen the monitor goes blanck or turns of, how can i fix this _ [12:14] aldipc: Are you saying that monitoring ICMP on the laptop's ethernet interface isn't seeing incoming ICMP echo requests from the PC? [12:14] apart from autoremove ,autoclean ,clean what else can I do [12:14] right [12:14] I will now connect a 2nd laptop to the wireless router to see if pinging from the 1st to 2nd laptop will give a tcpdump result! [12:15] how to configure network with colinux plz [12:15] aldipc: ok, that helps. that says that 192.168.178.20 isn't routing stuff... so either it doesn't get the packets forwarded to it from the dsl/router, OR the routing table or netfilters/iptables rules on 192.168.178.20 are causing a problem [12:15] d_win apt-get clean will remove installation files, apt-cache search will search and give information. [12:16] aldipc: A good test :) Reduce the problem to it's smallest set [12:16] ushills: where are my downloaded .devb files are stored [12:16] aldipc: Also, I'd set up a static route on the PC too, for the 192.168.0/24 via 192.168.178.20 - if that doesn't work you can be pretty sure the problem is on 192.168.178.20 [12:17] dr_win not too sure [12:18] d_rwin: you mean the .deb files that apt-get downloads? /var/cache/apt/archives [12:18] i can ping the 2nd laptop from the first!! [12:18] bonjour à tous [12:18] aldipc: Both on the same Wifi sub-net (192.168.0/24) ? [12:18] right [12:18] !fr | cricri [12:18] cricri: Ce canal est en anglais uniquement. Si vous avez besoin d'aide ou voulez discuter en francais, merci de rejoindre #ubuntu-fr ou #kubuntu-fr [12:18] they are now both connected to the wirelessmodem via cable [12:19] tank you bye [12:19] aldipc: ok, so that won't involve much in the way of routing on 192.168.178.20 ... try my static-route suggestion for the PC [12:20] IntuitiveNipple: need to rreinstall but not loose packages [12:20] well... if I now connect the second laptop to the fritzbox and it works then I know this static route on the pc will not change anything right? [12:20] sorryy [12:20] then it WILL solve the problem [12:21] aldipc: I'm getting slightly confused with the precise situation right now, but I think you can handle it :) [12:21] intuitivenipple: no I can't! [12:22] intuitivenipple: it's eays I have wiredrouter1 connected to the internet and to my pc [12:22] is it normal that the windows look ugly and strange in 8.10 beta? [12:23] wiredrouter1 is also connected to router2 and router2 has the address 192.168.178.20 and router2 has laptop1 on address 192.168.0.15 connected to it.. [12:23] now i connected the 2nd laptop to router1 and the same problem occurs.. I cannot ping to laptop1 [12:24] somehow the packets are not passed.. [12:24] host not reachable it says on the laptop2 [12:24] aldipc: If the PC can't ping the laptop on 192.168.0.15 from a 192.168.178/24 that suggests a problem in the routing table and/or netfilters on 192.168.178.20 [12:25] maybe pcs from aldi suck [12:25] you mean on router2? [12:25] aldipc: do you have command-line access to 192.168.178.20 or is it only a web control-panel? [12:25] it is a webcontrol panel [12:25] I have the routing table of router2 here [12:25] aldipc: can you pastebin it? [12:25] 192.168.0.0 subnet 255.255.255.0 gateway 102.168.0.1 [12:26] destination 192.168.0.0 subnet 255.255.255.0 gateway 192.168.0.1 [12:26] a little hungry [12:26] that would mean anything it gets for 192.168.0.15 is passed to 192.168.0.1 [12:26] aldipc: is that it? what is the *complete* routing table on 192.168.178.20 ? [12:26] and I guess 192.168.0.1 is the address of the router2 [12:26] wave [12:26] quit [12:26] no it is not complete [12:26] exit [12:26] here it goes [12:27] aldipc: I need to see the complete table... pastebin it please :) [12:27] destination subnet gateway [12:27] Is there any UML software for Ubuntu!?????????????????????????????????????????????????????

[12:28] it's on a different pc [12:28] <[agatha]> something like alsaconf? [12:28] intuitivenipple: you got it right?

[12:29] Is there any UML software for Ubuntu!?????????????????????????????????????????????????????ž [12:29] not that i've heard of, but it wouldnt suprise me if there was an open source one [12:29] aldipc: Is the WiFi router running any kind of firewall?

[13:17] King_Kickass: wrong channel [13:17] ok [13:18] King_Kickass: cause thats the dead line to fix all broken pieces [13:18] DINK: http://www.andremiller.net/content/mounting-hard-disk-image-including-partitions-using-linux [13:18] erUSUL: thanks :) [13:18] just a feel. I think it is a stable ,and i will feel better [13:19] does anyone know where i can get advanced streamer plugin for audio files? [13:19] maybe i will upgrade to 8.10 [13:19] why not use w32codecs === adam is now known as Guest5798 [13:20] DINK: no problem [13:20] does anyone know where i find the demuxer plugin? [13:21] google demuxer plugin [13:22] huh? [13:22] gceng04: did you have a good answer or did you just want to see your nick on the screen? [13:23] hi .... how do i make the windows list in the panel display from the right instead of the default left? [13:23] go to the URL: http://www.brothersoft.com/downloads/demuxer-plugin-downloadford.html . To download demuxer plugin [13:23] hardcore: google.com/search?q=demuxer+plugin [13:24] hola [13:24] would the TrippleHead2Go box work on Ubuntu? (I use three monitor for windows gaming but ubuntu as main desktop, and I don't want to rearrange my monitors before and after each gaming session) [13:25] Do anybody know how to open "Partition Manager"? [13:25] in a terminal, type sudo gparted [13:26] in a terminal, type sudo gparted gceng04 (you may have to install it: sudo apt-get install gparted) [13:26] can I also partition my ms windows partition with it? [13:26] yes [13:26] I type sudo gparted , the bash tell me command not found [13:26] well what you mean? [13:26] gceng04: you have to install gparted [13:27] can I use LiveCD to copy files between two hard disks? I have to uninstall my main one [13:27] hi .... how do i make the windows list in the panel display from the right instead of the default left? [13:27] where is the $HOME variable set at? [13:27] Kartagis: sure [13:27] big-g: why? [13:27] but ubuntu 8.04 install it defauld [13:27] Kartagis: You can. [13:27] King_Kickass: you can resize an NTFS partition with gparted but I've never done that. for a new install, you can leave your windows partition unformatted and let windows format it on install [13:28] jrib: i changed my username and i also changed the home user directory name. but the change is not being reflecting in $HOME [13:28] big-g: man usermod (poke me if you are stuck) [13:28] jrib, is this command right? dd if=/dev/sda1 /dev/sdb1 bs=4M ? [13:28] gceng04: i have ubuntu 8.04 and I remember having to install it [13:28] the liveCD has it because it needs it to install the desktop version, but it's not installed by default [13:28] Kartagis: you asked about copying files, are you sure you want to use dd like that? [13:29] and how is the defrag tool of ubuntu called? [13:29] jrib: i already did that. i changed the username successfully. i just can't get the $HOME variable to take the new username home directory [13:29] big-g: you used the -d option? [13:29] King_Kickass: you don't need defrag on Linux. it will write files where there is space [13:29] jrib: I don't know where the $HOME gets set at upon logining in. no i didn't use the -d option. === francesco is now known as Guest17621 [13:29] big-g: that's what you want [13:30] ah ok, I just wanted to defrag my windows partition from within ubuntu [13:30] jrib, one operation is copying files to another hard disk, one another is moving my existing installation to another hard disk [13:30] jrib: thanx. i am still curiouse to where that variable gets set at [13:30] King_Kickass: maybe you can run some third party defrag utility under wine, I dunno. but I would do that from within windows [13:31] King_Kickass: do not do that use windows defrag [13:31] big-g: whatever process logs you in probably sets it after reading /etc/passwd [13:31] jrib, so, is dd if=/dev/sda1 /dev/sdb1 bs=4M right for the latter operation? === cs278^ktulu is now known as cs278 [13:31] jrib: bingo! thanx [13:31] hi, i have a boot-problem with a new laptop: after loading the kernel it just resets. does anyone know the issue? [13:31] Kartagis: you need if for input and of for output [13:32] here's the error message i get: The playback of this movie requires a Advanced Streaming Format (ASF) demuxer plugin which is not installed. [13:32] hi .... how do i make the windows list in the panel display from the right instead of the default left? [13:32] its actually an audio file [13:32] jrib, so, is dd if=/dev/sda1 of=/dev/sdb1 bs=4M okay? [13:32] Kartagis: yeah, afaik. Whatever you have on /dev/sdb1 will be lost [13:33] i don't care, thanks [13:33] brb [13:33] hows intrepid workin? [13:33] !interpid | Raylz [13:33] Raylz: Intrepid Ibex is the code name for Ubuntu 8.10, due October 30th, 2008 - Warning lots of broken software between now and October 30th! - Use #ubuntu+1 for support, *NOT* #ubuntu [13:34] any offtopic channel? [13:34] Raylz, yes, ubuntu-offtopic [13:34] ty [13:34] does anyone know if a TroppleHead2Go box would work on Ubuntu? [13:34] heh [13:34] tripple [13:35] ok, anyone want to take a stab @ this samba user/pass issues? [13:35] * DINK stabs [13:35] does anyone know how to fix this error message? The playback of this movie requires a Advanced Streaming Format (ASF) demuxer plugin which is not installed. [13:36] * IntuitiveNipple issues [13:36] gather.gr [13:36] hardcore: I'd presonally use vlc. I never have issues with it [13:36] thanks i'll try that [13:36] hardcore: vlc is a media player [13:37] hey, how long does as average take to you the fsck that is being done on root after 30 boot times ? cause i need like over 40 mins, which does not sound normal to me [13:37] alarm: how big? [13:37] 320gb drive . 30gb linux partition [13:38] so the fsck is for 30gb [13:38] hi .... how do i make the windows list in the panel display from the right instead of the default left? or where should i ask this question? [13:38] hi. i connected a 22" tft with 1680x1050 pixel to my system, ubuntu automatically installed an nvidia driver for my new graphics card and i installed nvidia-settings to configure it. it offers a number of resolution, but not 1680x1050. what to do? [13:38] when it finishes i do not get any errors or something, but still i found the delay too long [13:38] alarm: yeah, sounds long based on my experience. I suppose processor speed is another variable [13:38] jrib, are you a wiz with Samba? [13:38] 2.5ghz dual core [13:39] i dont think that would be it [13:39] Guest18281: nope, best to just ask the channel and I'll help if I know the answer. Check the wiki too [13:39] !samba > Guest18281 [13:39] Guest18281, please see my private message [13:39] jrib, I've asked there, and no one knows how to fix this issue [13:39] Guest18281: I meant this channel [13:39] jrib, thanks [13:40] alarm: yeah, I have a 1.86 core 2 duo and my fsck does not take that long. Don't know what else it could be though [13:40] what's the best book for learning UML? [13:40] jvm sudo nano -w /etc/X11/xorg.conf [13:40] is there any log file that fsck creates ? except of the dmesg [13:41] hello! wich owner should own the www path of a webserver? i have wordpress and mybb running. [13:41] heret|c, and then? [13:42] paratox: apache and www are very popular names. [13:42] jvm look for the Section "Screen" , and under DefaultDepth 24 add these lines === ay^_ is now known as ay^ [13:42] paratox: It should be the owner which apache runs as iirc. [13:42] SubSection "Display" [13:42] Modes "1680x1050" [13:42] EndSubSection [13:42] i have the whole www path chowned to www-data, but somebody told me, i should use root. is this right? [13:43] thats ~between~ the lines DefaultDepth ~and~ EndSection [13:43] paratox: root or something you make. www-data is what apache runs as, so you should only be giving write access to apache if it really needs it like with wiki data [13:43] and a forum? [13:43] thanks heret|c, give me a second to restart xorg. [13:44] what does this mean?:" 元素中不允许有元素 <%s>",this appears on making a module,at MKDEV(scull_major, 0) [13:44] paratox: sure [13:46] heret|c, it didnt change anything. it started again with 1600x1200, and neither the "screen resolution" dialog nor nvidia-settings show any other options. [13:46] jvm i forgot one line :P glad your back for me to tell you [13:46] :) [13:46] which is better, frostwire or emule? [13:47] ~between SubSection "Display" ~and~ Modes "1680x1050" ~add~ Depth 24 [13:47] Hi. I have an Intel AC'97 audio controller with xubuntu. I can't hear any sound. What should I do? Thanks. [13:48] heret|c, it's already there. there was already a Display subsection, and i just changed the "Modes nvidia-something" to "Modes "1680x1050"" [13:48] Depth 24 was already in there. [13:48] ahh [13:48] well we'll do it this way then.... [13:49] in a terminal type.... [13:49] xrandr -s 1680x1050 [13:49] Size 1680x1050 not found in available modes [13:49] O.o [13:49] even while i inserted it into the xorg.conf file [13:49] ok. could you please pastebin your xorg.conf [13:50] whole thing [13:50] How do i get emerald to start up everytime i log into my desktop? [13:50] i'm suspecting multiple or conflicting definitions [13:50] which is better, frostwire or emule? [13:50] i hope there is away. [13:51] heret|c, http://pastebin.com/m4f44ab00 === scd is now known as scdbr === Esquilo is now known as JulioNeto [13:51] the whole file was auto-generated. [13:51] i only changed the modes line. [13:51] perlsyntax, System > preferences > sessions [13:52] it said Modes "nvidia-auto-select +0 +0" before i changed it. [13:52] that all i do? [13:53] jvm, i'm stumped. your xorg.conf looks clean and perfect [13:53] perlsyntax, just add emerald into there, yes [13:53] heret|c, all i put is emerald --replace that it [13:53] heret|c, is it possible i bought the wrong card? never used it before. but it seems unlikely it supports 1600x1200, but not 1680x1050. [13:54] jvm card should support it [13:54] I know the location is innappropriate, but I don't really want to register for another forum just to ask a question, is anyone here proficient with Open Office? [13:55] jvm. it's very possible that somehow yoru system doesnt' recognize the monitor as wide screen === zy|tv is now known as zyrorl [13:57] is vmware for ubuntu free? [13:57] heret|c, i just looked in the manual, and there are mentioned varias "Super High Resolution Graphics Modes" with several resolutions mentioned, up to 2048x536, but no 1680x1050. [13:57] i am not sure anymore this card isn't completely idiotic. [13:57] it was cheap. hehe. [13:57] The resolution is supported by your card. [13:57] Do you use VGA or DVI ? [13:57] dvi. [13:58] new2ubuntu: I'm not sure about vmware, but virtualbox is free, and I've used it quite a bit. I've had nothing but good performance from it. [13:58] okay, then the bandwidth shouldnt be a problem.. then it's more likely that its a conf problem with your screen settings on the comp. [13:58] Is there a way to slow down the initial boot prozess? Or can I force the kernel to pause before doing the reset? I want to read the kernel messages prior to the boot abortion [13:59] Trineba, heret|c didnt notice anything in my xorg.conf ( http://pastebin.com/m4f44ab00 ) [13:59] dingens try press pause on your keyboard [13:59] it works on the bios, why not try ubuntu ;-) [13:59] Dawid, i'm not fast enough, its a matter of milliseconds [13:59] ok [13:59] jvm: pm. [13:59] Trineba, and the nvidia-settings tool annoys me, because i cant choose the resolution i want. [14:00] jvm, the resolutions are based on what safe resolutions are auto-detected... if the resolution you want is absent you will have to modify config files manually [14:00] DawidJoubert, i added a "Modes 1680x1050" line and it still does not work... [14:01] http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/slackware-14/1680-x-1050-not-displaying-585864/ says to do what i already had him do. [14:01] Option "ModeValidation" "NoDFPNativeResolutionCheck" jvm try putting that in section device [14:02] hello [14:03] Anybody here run ubuntu studio to any good effect? [14:03] jvm, pm me config file [14:03] I'm having problems with hardware... I think the problems are with my ram is there anyway I can tell for sure, before I go buy new hardware? [14:03] thanks heret|c and DawidJoubert, wait a sec [14:03] slayton_: do a memtest? [14:03] I tried running memtest but it freezes every time [14:03] slayton_: Memtest86 [14:03] hi, i install kubuntu-desktop on my ubuntu. after this my sound doesn't detect by ubuntu. how can i fix it? [14:04] !sound [14:04] 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 [14:04] slayton_: then it's the ram that is the issue. [14:04] welcome back [14:04] The first mem test gave me a bunch of errors and froze the second time I ran it, the test went well beyond were the first test was without an issue but then just randomly froze up somewhere else [14:04] DawidJoubert, the whole config file is here: http://pastebin.com/m4f44ab00 [14:04] esize2fs -f /dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 10G <--- does that reduce by 10gig or down to 10 gig? [14:05] DawidJoubert, now with heret|c's additional line added. [14:05] but still not working. xrandr still insists the mode was not found. [14:06] DawidJoubert , it does not react to the pause key. i can pause the preboot-stuff with it, but nothing after the kernel is loaded [14:07] is there a way to change the DPI in gnome, the res is fine but everything looks too big [14:08] can i tell a deb package where to install? [14:08] like if i want it on another drive? === LSD|Ninj1 is now known as LSD|Ninja [14:10] lakitu: no [14:10] ok [14:10] jibel: I have one problem with gtkpod. I set the option commands for the folder or files for sync Calendar, Address and Notes in preference one hour ago. But now I can not change it again. [14:11] lakitu there should be a way to do it... anything's possible [14:12] Having connection problems. If anyone can read this, say "hootchiemama". [14:12] hootchiemama, edju =) [14:12] !ot > edju [14:12] edju, please see my private message [14:15] hey all, I want to use kopete, but I'm using Gnome, does it also work on Gnome or is it only for KDE? [14:15] vreun roman pe aici? [14:16] Anyone know how I would set up a Server+Lab with Ubuntu? [14:16] lakitu, you can use both gnome and kde applications in both gnome and kde. [14:16] Hello! I installed wordpress, and I'm trying to connect locally, but firefox won't open wordpress, it give to download PHTML file. In opera everything works fine. Any idea? [14:16] hello [14:16] lakitu, they just do not fit perfectly into the desktop. [14:16] can any one suggest a good todo list manager and calendar manager in ubuntu?? [14:16] i meant laku both times. [14:16] hehe. [14:16] really, sweet, thanks jvm [14:16] i dont wanna use evolution [14:18] which is better, frostwire or emule? [14:18] How do I make OOO writer stop changing tabsize only for the first level of indentation? (I copy paste code to it and wish to decrease the tabsize of all indentationlevels) [14:18] shishirmk, being that I'm a Christian, I don't wanna use it either [14:18] shishirmk: "openhand" (the company) have a cute calendar and todolist app (that tbh are really made for PDAs, but still, they're awesome) [14:19] hardcore: LOL WUT [14:19] when I unsinstall my sda1 and attempt to boot the computer off LiveCD, I get BusyBox. why? only when I install sda1 again and boot off with LiveCD, I get the GNOME [14:19] how do i run .run file type ? [14:19] sh filename.run [14:20] ./.run [14:20] ty :) [14:20] Schalken: what exactly is openhand?? [14:20] but first chmod +X .run [14:20] Uaho [14:20] shishirmk: some little software development company [14:20] shishirmk: they do work on Clutter, iirc [14:20] is there any topic on ubuntu dedicated to that :p [14:21] oh clutter good [14:21] i want it for a tablet pc only... \ [14:21] chamuscas: dedicated to what? [14:21] i have installed ubuntu 8.04 only on this one [14:21] forget already found it [14:21] ubuntu documentation that was what i wanted to ask [14:22] thanks DawidJoubert, heret|c and Trineba for your help. it doesnt work. i will play around or get another card. [14:22] shishirmk: http://pimlico-project.org/ was what i was thinking of. [14:23] hi,all. I use eclipse, but i found it use CPU high to 100%? why? [14:23] htang_: #eclipse [14:23] htang_: one reason is that's it's Java [14:23] yes, you are right. [14:24] i agree with Myrtti [14:24] I also found java run at back-end use CPU 100%. [14:25] I have downloaded a file wich has asigned a group named "plugdev" wich does not exist in my pc. I cannot change the group via: root> chgrp groupname filename.tar . Why is not possible to change? [14:25] how to optimize the CPU usage of java? [14:25] I don't know what happened to my system, suddenly it is not opening any webpages, n/w transfer is less than 1 kbps ..? [14:26] htang_, don't optimize until you profile your apps [14:26] ed0n0n: sudo chown $USER:$USER filename.tar [14:28] erUSUL: even if I try it keeps being like this: -rwxrwx--- 1 root plugdev [14:28] erUSUL: I change other files np [14:28] ed0n0n: where is the file located? [14:29] erUSUL: in the same dir or . [14:29] when's 7.10 due for release? [14:30] Frogzoo: it was released on octover 2007 [14:30] Frogzoo: XD [14:30] Frogzoo: 8.10 30th Octover 2008 [14:31] erUSUL: thx [14:31] erUSUL: ok, ha ha - 8.10 :p [14:31] anyone..? don't know what happened to my system, suddenly it is not opening any webpages, n/w transfer is less than 1 kbps ..? [14:32] : it's not my apps, i think. because it use cpu high to 100% just when i start up eclipse. any ideas? [14:32] erUSUL: This command should turn the file group to root, shouldn't? sudo chown root:root filename.tar [14:32] ed0n0n: yep [14:33] htang_, thats just fine, eclipse uses lots of memory [14:34] erUSUL: Is there any way in wich a file can't be changed? It is weird that groupname "plugdev", and this file might have something wrong? [14:35] ed0n0n: plugdev does exist on ubuntu but i dunno why you can not change the file's group [14:35] erUSUL: what is that group used for? [14:36] ed0n0n: for things like usb flash drives and the like... hot plug devices [14:37] !checkinstall [14:37] checkinstall is a wrapper to "make install", useful for installing programs you compiled. It will create a .deb package, which will be listed in the APT database and can be uninstalled like other packages. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CheckInstall - Read the warnings at the top and bottom of that web page, and DO NOT interrupt CheckInstall while it's running! [14:37] can i eject my livecd while using it? and how? [14:37] Kartagis: you can not [14:37] Hi, I have a Radeon HD4870 set up in big desktop mode with different resolutions, 1680x1050 for primary and 1024x768 for secondary. That works well, but I'm unable to configure the position of both screens correctly - primary should be right of secondary but it isn't. DesktopMode "horizontal,reverse" has no effect. Any ideas? [14:38] : If it isn't affect my work, that's fine. but somethings I can input anything except waiting it to process over, it's really bad thing for me. [14:39] do i use checkinstall with sudo in front to make a deb? i used it without sudo, did its "trikcs and dialogs" but i still have no package! if i use sudo to make the .deb, i have to move it around with root provilegdes to get it to the local repo [14:39] erUSUL: I guess is not important the file to be from another group, should I care? [14:39] jim_p: iirc checkinstall installs the deb at the end of the process [14:40] ed0n0n: not much... but still is very weird that you can not change its group [14:40] htang_, linux is getting better day by day, soon it will meet your expectations ;) [14:40] hah :) [14:40] Hows it going guys [14:40] erUSUL: well it was not installed, i was making madwifi and it is not installed, not even a .deb here! [14:41] erUSUL: iirc = ? [14:41] htang_: you installed sun's java or are you using gcj ?? [14:41] jim_p: if i recall correctly [14:41] erUSUL: I don't know why, and I'd like to know how, But can anyone hellp me with it? [14:41] erUSUL: lol ok [14:41] :how to know that? I don't know. [14:41] jim_p: i dunno if checkinstall works well with kernel modules it is meant for userspace apps [14:42] htang_: did you installed sun's java? [14:42] !java | htang_ [14:42] htang_: 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 [14:42] erUSUL: so there is a chance that some kernel thing prevented it? [14:42] htang_: im having trouble understanding your english, sorry. [14:42] htang_: sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jdk [14:42] htang_: after that make sure sun's is default "sudo update-alternatives --config java" [14:43] htang_, you need something like "running a process in a restricted environment (memory and cpu usage restriction) ..." [14:43] :that's ok. thank you Schalken. [14:43] hi [14:44] Anyone using 8.10 beta? [14:44] DrunkenPirate34: #ubuntu+1 [14:44] thx [14:44] some problem with my system, suddenly it is not opening any webpages, n/w transfer is less than 1 kbps ..? [14:44] what to do? [14:45] jim_p: never tried using checkinstall with kernel modules so i dunno for sure [14:45] erUSUL: maybe i installed java. I use "sudo update-alternatvies --config java" , and get some message. [14:45] which is better, frostwire or emule? [14:45] erUSUL: ok thanks a lot [14:45] v4vijayakumar: any error on the logs? dmesg or syslog [14:45] i just run this code "sudo rm -r /home/username" after deleting the user from "Users and Groups", is my system still ok? [14:45] I have a realtek rtl8187b wireless chipset and I want to follow http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=792092 <-- this tutorial but I can't see my chipset plugged in in the "lsusb"...

[14:46] !transmission | hardcore [14:46] Sorry, I don't know anything about transmission [14:46] is there a way to find out whether it's an hardware problem (chipset wrongly plugged) or software ?

[14:46] hardcore: a BitTorrent client, comes with ubuntu by default. [14:46] hardcore: they are clients of different networks so no directly comparable imho [14:46] hey all. quick question. i'm using the alternate installer because i have to install onto dmraid. how can I configure that? it's just showing me my four drives [14:46] !fakeraid [14:46] raid is Tips and tricks for RAID and LVM can be found on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SoftwareRAID wto and http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO - For software RAID, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FakeRaidHowto [14:46] zblach: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FakeRaidHowto [14:47] i just run this code "sudo rm -r /home/username" after deleting the user from "Users and Groups", is my system still ok? [14:47] ljsoftnet: yes is ok [14:47] erUSUL, ah ok, thanks [14:48] i should have done that. thanks [14:49] actually, does this apply? i'm using raid5 [14:49] erUSUL, .. [14:49] zblach: are you using your bios raid? or you want to use linux software raid? === yahwek is now known as YahWek [14:50] erUSUL: it's fakeraid. [14:51] i can't have the alt installer boot to a terminal, and do this maually, can I? [14:51] zblach: the on you enable in you bios? then the fakeraid applies .... it is better to use linux software raid but if you have to share the raid with windows ... [14:52] no windows anymore [14:52] what i'm doing is setting up a macine to run virtual machines [14:52] sorry for asking 4th time, some problem with my system, suddenly it is not opening any webpages, n/w transfer is less than 1 kbps ..? what to do? [14:52] zblach: then why not use linux software raid it is better than fakeraid [14:52] thank you for you help === hercule is now known as jean [14:52] erUSUL: i had heard that swraid had some serious performance issues [14:53] zblach: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SoftwareRAID [14:53] v4vijayakumar : have you tried restarting your router. maybe it doesnt have to do with your system [14:53] zblach: do you have a *real* *hardware* raid card? [14:54] zblach: becouse most bios raid implementations are slower than linux software raid except the ones from high end *real* *hardware* raid cards [14:54] erUSUL: no. embedded hardware assisted ICH9R [14:54] zblach: then it will be slower than linux raid [14:54] i had had a windows partition originally, so fakeraid was my best option at the time [14:54] is there a way I can make gedit automatically (or at the press of a button) automatically indent my javascript so that it looks more tidy?

[14:58] LuYu: buy a new one [14:58] :P [14:58] I messed up a mount command and mounded a file to the /media directory while I had external drives mounted to /media/disk I'm concerend that I could have tanked the drives (because they were mounted at the time) should I do anything special before I unmount the faulting mount command [14:58] yes buy a new one [14:58] erUSUL: i was using ubuntu for the dmraid support of raid5. if i use software raid, i'll go back to arch :D [14:59] before anybody starts laughing, i saw BeOS play 6 simultaneous video streams with no degradation in quality or halting in 1999 [14:59] so, i know its possible [14:59] mattzenel: nothing special just umount. nothing should be harmed for what you have done [14:59] so, i can buy an XO with a faster processor? [14:59] ;-P [15:00] that kind of defeats the point, doesnt it? [15:00] erUSUL: will the drives need to be remounted [15:00] mattzenel: no === Ujjwol is now known as GNUNIX [15:00] erUSUL: thanks [15:00] erUSUL: since i'm now using software raid, should I disable the onboard raid controller entirely? [15:01] zblach: yep... configure the sata controller as "ahci" [15:01] thanks :) [15:02] :-D [15:02] zblach: no problem [15:03] Hey, I've got a question: what is my root password? Ever since I installed Ubuntu, I've never logged as root since everything is done with sudo. :\ [15:04] can someone help me configure ntp [15:04] Does Ubuntu ask to create the root account at all? [15:04] Sigil: no. [15:04] So, is there no root by default? [15:05] Sigil: root is locked by default [15:05] !Nautilus [15:05] Sorry, I don't know anything about nautilus [15:05] And how do I find out its password if I need to use it? [15:05] Sigil: why would you need to use root over sudo? [15:06] there is no root password [15:06] I wouldn't, but I'd like to know I have the option [15:06] you have to use sudo to set it [15:06] sudo passwd [15:06] type your user password [15:06] Sigil: you don't have that option really [15:06] So, if in the login screen I enter "root" and leave the password field blank, it will enter? [15:06] and then type a new root password twice [15:06] Ah, OK. I see [15:06] Sigil: ubuntu has been designed to use sudo [15:06] no, it wont [15:06] Sigil: if i recall correctly, telling people how to enable root is frowned upon, so i won't do it [15:07] oops [15:07] you'll end up breaking up things really really badly, if you enable root [15:07] so please don't enable it [15:07] anyway, there are only a few situations where you really need to switch to root [15:07] LuYu: what are they? [15:07] most of the time, sudo is your friend [15:07] OK, but at least *everything* a superuser can do, you can do with sudo, right? [15:07] Sigil: yes. [15:07] i remember there was something i couldnt do with sudo [15:07] right now, i cant recall what it was [15:08] Alright, I didn't know Ubuntu would be that particular about the superuser... O.O [15:08] but it took me like a week to try it with actual root [15:08] and when i did, it worked as expected [15:08] !root | Sigil [15:08] Sigil: 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. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [15:09] and remmeber enabling root also increases the likelihood of your system being compromised. [15:09] Thanks for the link! :) [15:09] So, in having no root, the system is more secure? [15:09] how can i check if my ntp is properly configured ? [15:09] Isn't it just as easy for a hacker to get access to the system with sudo? [15:10] how can i check if my ntp/ntpdate is properly configured ? [15:10] just as easy as what? [15:10] Sigil: it's just a little obscurity. I get repeated access attempts using root on ssh. but I know there is no root passwd, so they'll never brute-force it [15:10] is there any windows live messenger that supports voice chat [15:10] is there any windows live messenger that supports voice chat === danopia_ is now known as danopia [15:11] hi, I bought a Canon PIXMA MP220 all-in-one printer, and had both the scanner and printer sections working fine yesterday. However, something weird started happening today. The printer doesn't work at all. Documents just get stuck in the print queue as 'pending' (this is CUPS). If I try to use XSane to scan, the preview gets to about 50%, then I get an "Error during device I/O". When lsusb works, it generally shows the printer, but often ( [15:11] including now), the process hangs as 'uninterruptable'. Any ideas? [15:11] Sigil: in theory they could just brute-force my user's account instead. but then they have a whole new game of trying to guess my username [15:11] GNUNIX: you should ask that question on #pidgin and #kopete [15:11] have tried reinstalling the drivers, changing ports and cables, etc, etc. [15:12] how can i know that my ubuntu has Tcl/Tk 8.4. or tcl/tk 8.5 final ?

I don't have an external microphone that I plugged in. I just want to record sound from the device built into my laptop. What should I turn on in "Volume Control"? Micriphone? Capture? Line-In? Something else? [15:13] emorris : thx [15:13] * microphone [15:13] amikrop: you need to use the recording not playback tab [15:13] hey people - i've just run "apt-get install phpmyadmin" and told it to auto-configure apache2 (which i already had installed)... but i can't find out how to access phpMyAdmin... [15:14] emorris: OK, I already know this. [15:14] emorris: But what should I enable there? [15:14] amikrop: i imagine it'd be microphone. is that not working? [15:14] fishsponge_: assuming apache is running, you can access it from a web browser localhost:??? where ??? is the port you set it as [15:15] i can access apache no problem... but all i get is the "It works!" page, of course... how do i access phpmyadmin, specifically?

[15:16] when trying to reinstall it, it returs errors [15:16] ah yes! i was trying localhost/phpMyAdmin! [15:16] emorris: Do you use a laptop?

[15:41] ubuntu_todd: start a new terminal session [15:41] bingungaja: i686 == 32 bit [15:41] ubuntu_todd: open a new gnome-terminal window [15:41] saurabh_: So it will automatically update? [15:41] bingungaja: x86_64 == 64 bits [15:41] ikonia: how do i install the fix? or will it get installed automatically. I am asking because I am currently using the ugly fix for this problem [15:41] erusul : oh ic .. thx [15:41] if i have wine the viruses work ?! [15:42] njk if the fix is released it should download on it's own and install/configure it's self === bascule is now known as Bascule [15:42] hanoi: no, they effect a windows install === Bascule is now known as bascule [15:42] ubuntu_todd: well, after you add that line to ~/.bashrc, it is executed when a new terminal session starts, try it out [15:42] hanoi: if you run them with wine some of them will work some of them will not just like with any other windows app [15:42] hi all [15:43] hanoi: but you have to actively run them XD [15:43] can anyone help me to mount sd/mmc ricoh card reader in hardy?

[15:43] so its not safe if i have the wine :S [15:43] the sys does not recognize the sd mmc card reader in my dell inspiorn [15:44] hanoi: just be caustious with what you are doing [15:44] ikonia, thanks. i'm trying now [15:44] hanoi, mostly, any virus you accidentally run will only affect the wine install iirc [15:44] hanoi: it is safe you have to actively run the viruas yourself and the amount of damage passible with users credentials is very limited... [15:44] i can see it on the output command lspci [15:44] but can mount it [15:44] what can I do? [15:44] thanks [15:45] i need to change the available resolutionsof my laptop and i cant get it to work. I tried editing /etc/X11/xorg.conf but i cant find anywhere the part that says what resolutions are supported in the form of "1024x768", etc. any ideas ? [15:45] two questions if I may; Could somebody point me in the direction of sub-doamin configurations for apache that use ~ for root dirs, and I need to setup a dns server for my lan so I can see top level domains I own that are liked to the global interface of my router, which daemon should I use? Is bind still the best the defacto or is there something better out there? [15:45] ok, and what about message that "you can install 2 updates" in my update manager [15:45] ? [15:45] njk, click on it [15:45] Does anyone know how to install nginx with FastCGI/PHP support? [15:46] Hello. I installed the newest drivers for my graphic card using the program "EnvyNG". My problem is that I only have direct rendering when I run programs as superuser (i.e. "glxinfo" and "nvidia-settings" say I don't have direct rendering, "sudo glxinfo" and "gksudo nvidia-settings" say I have). What can I do to solve this? Thanks a lot :-) [15:46] njk, it will ask for your password and tell which updates are ready to be downloaded [15:46] even when i click on install updates nothing happens as nothing is being shown on the list [15:46] any channel to get some support for sd mmc cards? [15:46] njk, which repository are you using? [15:46] there are many actually [15:46] one sec [15:47] ok, to install the fglrx I need restricted-manager - when I try to install it I get "the packet r-m ha no instalation candidate" [15:47] !nginx [15:47] Sorry, I don't know anything about nginx [15:47] njk, what is your main, gutsy, hardy?

[15:48] ikonia, i typed find /boot/grub/stage1 as the howto instructed, and i got "Error 15: File not found". what to do now? [15:48] njk, open up a console and type sudo apt-get update [15:48] njk, if you don't get any errors follow that with sudo apt-get upgrade [15:49] njk, sounds like a partial update has happened [15:49] When you do a distro upgrade, are your settings and extra applicactions (like skype, opera, Prism, etc) gone? I've been with ubuntu since edgy, but I can't remember :-X [15:49] Mimi: some configurations and obsoleted packages will be gone, and/or change but that's about it [15:50] no error, nothing but still update manager shows that message [15:50] njk, did you run sudo apt-get upgrade [15:50] njk, try from terminal [15:50] Hmph. *shrug* Thanks :) [15:51] Mimi, custom config's will be left untouched but they may not work with the newer applications [15:51] Ah okay, makes sense [15:51] yup i ran that [15:52] 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded. === jacques_ is now known as Guest32416 [15:52] njk, software source,,, chack what u have there [15:52] ikonia, i typed find /boot/grub/stage1 as the howto instructed, and i got "Error 15: File not found". what to do now?

However, sometimes a new version of a program has such a high demand that people at Ubuntu decide to make an exception, and update that program to the new version: that is called a "Backport" :-) [16:03] i have downloaded just now a display from here "http://www.gnome-look.org/content/download.php?content=91089&id=1&tan=29744831" but i dont know how to install it can any one tell me [16:03] ktne, ammm, install bum and chek whats running from boot, sessions too [16:03] njk ye got it right now, thanx [16:04] how can i get the latest vlc on ubuntu (the one in the repo is reallllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllly outdated....)

I have installed the most recent driver for my Nvidia 8600GT (173.14.12) using the program EnvyNG. The temperature sensor works, and I have my display at the correct resolution.

[16:59] yes it did [17:01] bonjour [17:01] Cyber: then probably a kernel update, I would suggest rebooting, and at the boot loader menu selecting your last kernel version, if that works, then your kernel update messed with something, and you are probably better off using the older kernel until the next kernel update comes along [17:01] dgandhi: how would I do that? [17:01] like selecting the old kernel that is [17:02] and in order to get my atheros card to work in the first place I had to install madwifi and wicd [17:02] is there still no function in ubuntu, that allows to highlight/draw/paint within a pdf/pps document? like: producing an overlay?

[17:07] i'm in boot [17:08] amenado: [17:08] ikonia, i get to internet through that and it had a built in firewall which lets me open up ports and route, so it's a modem/router [17:08] |ZX|: not sure which it was using, I was using stock ubuntu 8.04 [17:08] Kartagis a firewall doesn't make it a router [17:08] ikonia:i think i can do it when i type command in terminal?

But, if I lower PCM and turn the volume up (so it's about the same loudness) it sounds smooth. [17:11] Cyber--> what is that about? [17:11] thats whats in boot [17:12] ikonia:im asking because i did it from terminal i can resume after closing and reopening it last time [17:12] amanu: I disagree, the only way you can cancel apt-get is to ctrll+c it, which will terminate it [17:12] ikoniaL:but now im selecting it from admin->synaptic [17:12] Cyber: it looks like you only have one kernel, so that's not your problem, what do you get when you run dmesg?

[17:25] i am very new to ubuntu [17:25] hi i have a question for developers [17:25] dgandhi: FATAL: Error inserting ath_pci (/lib/modules/2.6.24-19-generic/net/ath_pci.ko): Unknown symbol in module, or unknown parameter (see dmesg) [17:25] lost`: open theme manager and drag the file in [17:25] my videos in vlc are pixelated...any workaround guys??? [17:25] lost`: system -> preference -> appearence menu [17:26] i've been looking around for the best distro for c++ development, but everywhere i look all i see is "pick whatever you like the best" [17:26] CrazySam: this might not be the best place for them.. there might be some developers here but I think most here are regular users [17:26] black_feather: what sort of video, online, or local file ? [17:26] .avi file [17:26] CrazySam: ah.. you mean just general developers [17:26] CrazySam: go to IM [17:26] i was told to do a sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-video-inte [17:26] black_feather: what resolution was it encoded [17:27] CrazySam: try some distros - see what you like [17:27] Anyone? Themes are not being applied to synaptic and other Administration/Preference apps [17:27] CrazySam: I think almost all distros supply the same developer tools.. find something you like and feel comfortable with [17:28] ikonia : how to make the desktop show all the system info ? [17:28] DrunkenPirate34: normally because they are run with super user privilages, [17:28] !sysinfo > lost` [17:28] Sorry, I don't know anything about sysinfo [17:28] i dont know dude [17:28] ughh [17:28] Cyber: do you know which driver you were using before? [17:28] downloaded it from the net [17:28] black_feather: run "file" against the file [17:28] dgandhi: I believe I was using madwfif [17:28] madwifi* [17:29] ikonia, but this happened after a re-install. and the mouse isn't working either [17:29] Kartagis: it looks like a hardware issue [17:29] Kartagis: maybe the reboot shorted something [17:29] how do i do that??? [17:29] Cyber: I don't use them, but my understanding is that madwifi is a set of drivers, ath_pci being one of them. [17:29] Kartagis: if lspci cant see it [17:29] black_feather: open a terminal and go to where the file is and type "file $filename.avi" [17:30] its ina windows partition [17:30] black_feather: so ? [17:30] Cyber: what do you have in /lib/modules/2.6.24-19-generic/madwifi ? [17:30] Hi, I`m totally new to ubuntu - how do I make my soundcard work?

[17:30] Ikonia: Is there a way to get them to apply the theme. Clearlooks works just not downloaded themes...

At this point I have checked out(using git) the source code for Intrepid. How do I update the source code to the 2.6.26-rt? [17:32] Cyber: okay, that's what I have in my default install, I would try to modprobe each of those, but I suspect that your problem is that you have a pci-e card and the madwifi drivers in the stable distro of ubuntu don't support it === valtteri is now known as valtz [17:32] black_feather: how do you get to windows to play the file ? [17:33] ikonia, what about the mouse not working? [17:33] HUNTER_byte: there should be a rt vesion [17:33] dgandhi: what do I do?

[17:33] it was working this morning [17:33] its mounted and i just hve to browse [17:33] Kartagis: as I said, maybe something is lose, or the motherboard got shorted on a reboot [17:33] dgandhi: nope [17:33] Kartagis: I can understand things not working, but not being listed as hardware means the motherboard can't "see" it [17:33] Cyber: try "locate madwifi" [17:34] ikonia : my windows file got missing and i istalled ubuntu on it and now the free space it says is 15 gb what happen to the rest of the space ? [17:34] dgandhi: its all in generic [17:34] lost`: how did you install ubuntu ?

[17:37] lost`: what existing partition [17:37] lost`: the windows one ? [17:37] yes [17:37] lost`: then you have installed over the top [17:37] I need to compile 2.6.26-rt kernel myself because I'm trying to figure out when and where a bug was introduced. The problem is I don't know how to update the source code to a specified version. [17:37] Cyber: if it was working under a standard install i might be able to help you, but at this point, since you needed some tom-foolery to get it working before, I fear we would both be wasting our time with anything beyond trying to get those default drivers to work. so yes try each of those in tern, they should all fail unless they work. [17:38] lost`: you have deleted your windows data [17:38] ikonia which is the best multimedia player for intel 945 [17:38] michaelsmick: it can fail - best bet, reboot & select memtest from the grub menu [17:38] dgandhi: and if they don't work? [17:38] black_feather: the video card doesn't matter - the players use the video interface, [17:38] black_feather: run "file" against the video file [17:38] ikonia : what should i do to get back the HD space?

[17:39] hi all how do i make windows list in the panel to display from right instead of from the default left? is this possible? [17:40] Cyber: I'm out of ideas, somebody who uses the madwifi drivers may have some hints, but I'm out of ideas. [17:40] dgandhi: where are the files again?

[18:58] maniheer, that's it? so no profile or stuff? [18:59] !xterm | pen [18:59] pen: If with all the cute terminals that are around you're still using xterm, then you deserve any problem you're experiencing with it. Go away. [18:59] maniheer, like in gnome-terminal [18:59] why right mouse not function when i install ubuntu tweak?

[19:00] Ben1: Example: nvidia xorg.conf for dual displays: http://pastebin.intuitivenipple.net/121 [19:00] pen, rxvt-unicode [19:00] pen, mrxvt [19:00] pen: yakuake, tilda is similar in gnome [19:01] maniheer, rxvt support only 8 colors I assume? I understand why you use mrxvt. [19:01] ActionParsnip, so you don't use a regular terminal? btw I use tilda too but the color are weird [19:01] pen, I use konsole :P [19:01] maniheer, KDE? [19:01] maniheer, I see [19:01] pen, not really [19:01] pen, a custom mix match [19:02] pen: no i use a terminal i can get outta my way [19:02] sometimes when I am going to close firefox or openoffice word processor it appears something saying something like it cannot close the window and gives two options: wait until it finishes, or force to quit. It shuts down after a while but I don think its good. Does anyone knows why is that happening? [19:02] of qt apps and a tiling window manager [19:02] IntuitiveNipple, hi. i'm interested in your vaio project. i used your invaluable suggestions to enable the vt bit in my bios. and i'm curious how is the vaio project going on. any chance to see software in the near future? thank you for the amazing work [19:02] pen: you can change the colour, you can even add transparency [19:02] maniheer, what wm are you using? [19:02] ActionParsnip, you mean tilda or yakuake? [19:02] Anza: are you on intrepid? [19:02] hi to all [19:02] pen, started with xmonad, now using http://wmfs.sangor.net/ [19:02] pen: tilda supports transparency [19:02] ActionParsnip, because I don't know how to change the color palette for tilda [19:03] ActionParsnip, depends on how intrepid you mean [19:03] pen: right click it [19:03] maniheer, have you heard of rat poison? [19:03] velko: There's a *slight* possibility that Sony might be persuade to contribute the documentation needed to fully implement the snc driver without having to keep on reverse-engineering the Windows driver [19:03] someone knows why ubuntu is Extremely slow when copy/transfer between USB drives ???? [19:03] pen, arrrrghghggh [19:03] Anza: intrepid is the alpha vesion of Ubuntu [19:03] ActionParsnip, I can only change the background and foreground colors [19:03] maniheer, hahaha [19:03] maniheer, muhahaha [19:03] ActionParsnip, I have not idea about it [19:03] Hi, I have already installed ubuntu and then I want to install windows. Any good link with instructions? I only find links about win->ubuntu order [19:03] Anza, it's getting it's bugs fixed, just wait for the release [19:04] vag_, try Virtualization [19:04] ActionParsnip, I am on hardy heron [19:04] IntuitiveNipple, that would be perfect! and is the project in a good shape (i mean by that - something to release) if they don't? [19:04] vag_, coz u shouldn't go back :P [19:04] vag_, or wine [19:04] Anza: lsb_release -a [19:04] vag_, or dual boot [19:04] Anza: what version number you on? [19:04] ActionParsnip, you haven't tell me how to change the color palette [19:04] I already use QEMU, but I want to run Oracle... [19:04] vag_: you can install windows normally but you'll have to reinstall grub after you're done [19:04] ActionParsnip, 8.04 [19:05] ActionParsnip, I guess? [19:05] Anza: good [19:05] Anza: ok [19:05] maniheer, have you tried awesome wm? [19:05] vag_: apart from that a windows install shouldn't affect your ubuntu install [19:05] someone knows why ubuntu is Extremely slow when copy/transfer between USB drives ???? [19:05] there's a solution? [19:05] Anza: sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade; sudo apt-get dist-upgrade [19:05] ActionParsnip, what is lsb_release -a [19:05] anyone know a good video encoder? [19:05] pen: so you wanna change the colour of tilda [19:05] hello everyone [19:06] davidov: how slow is slow? is it just slow in nautilus? or when you copy from the command line too? [19:06] ActionParsnip, the color palette yes [19:06] !hi | hanoi [19:06] hanoi: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! [19:06] ActionParsnip, not only just the foreground and background colors [19:06] Slart: have you any ideas how to do this? I mean I'll have to reinstall grub from a live CD after the win install? [19:06] or any links? [19:06] velko: I've 100% reverse-engineered the Windows Vista SNC drivers, *but* to maintain ongoing support as new models are released it would require the reverse-engineering to be repeated every time a new Sony SNC driver is released, to determine the new settings. I'm not really wanting to trap myself in a situation where people expect me to keep on doing that - I want something I can release and basically forget aside from minor maintenance [19:06] !grub | vag_ [19:06] vag_: grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto [19:06] if i have wine and i have virus i can delete the wine with the virus ?!

RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows [19:06] hanoi, u mean delete the virus with wine [19:06] yea [19:07] hanoi, tried ClamAV [19:07] hanoi:virus is nothing but a .exe file in xp [19:07] slart I can't do anything when I transfer a file [19:07] pen: when you change it you need to rerun it [19:07] velko: The snc linux driver I've designed can have the configuration of new Vaio models added to it at run-time, so people can get support without needing a new build. [19:08] ActionParsnip, so it's possible to change it? [19:08] so i have to install Clamav [19:08] hanoi:you can delete it at any time if you find it then whats use of saying "delete with wine" [19:08] ActionParsnip, did it all on the terminal and it said not anything new installed [19:08] IntuitiveNipple, i understand it - playing catch up is the worst hobby ever. thank you for the answer. hopefully sony will make an exception from their usual behavior. and keep the good work! [19:08] davidov: hmm.. I can transfer files between flash sticks without my system freezing.. might be something else [19:08] velko: We can hope :) [19:08] Anza: ok thats cool [19:08] Slart, I really don't know what to do [19:09] Anza: can you take a screenshot and use imageshack so we can see whats goig on [19:09] guys, I'm having trouble with the bonobo-activation-server with gnome/gdm.

[19:09] maniheer:what hanoi is saying can you get it? [19:10] Slart, I have an external USB HD with some files on it I need to transfer on my internal HD [19:10] AccessExcess, somehow I got kicked out the channel or something :P [19:10] ganesh: in what way? [19:10] ActionParsnip: amanu: /var/cache/apt/archives [19:10] after i upgraded my ubuntu to 8.04 i have some problems with java and with applications use it! can anyone help with this: http://pastebin.com/f11f7adec? it's frostwire [19:10] ActionParsnip, , somehow I got kicked out the channel or something :P [19:10] ActionParsnip:can i trnsfer it into my usb stick and copy [19:10] AccessExcess, wrong name :P [19:10] I'm installing kubuntu now, does anyone have a guide to things that I'd most likely have to do after installation (making flash work, sound, graphics cards, popular programs), etc! [19:10] amanu: totally, then you can install them with sudo dpkg -i [19:10] ActionParsnip:here in new one at same location [19:10] when i use my flashdrive, what's the proper way of removing it? Should i unmount volume [19:10] ActionParsnip: i installed windows on ubuntu and lost grub.. [19:10] hanoi: clamav will work fine [19:11] mopped: attack them one at a time but you pretty much got it nailed [19:11] ActionParsnip:you mean if i make a copy of it in my current desktop [19:11] so to install clamav is better ?! [19:11] in fact, I wouldn't recommend using a windows virus scanner running in wine, since it's highly likely the virus has infected other files [19:11] Slart: thanks, that seems enough doc [19:11] ActionParsnip, so do you know how to change the color palette in tilda? [19:11] ganesh: you can reinstall grub from the live cd [19:11] pen: http://nikopsk.wordpress.com/2008/02/26/tilda-dropdown-terminal/ [19:11] ActionParsnip:can i nstall them just with sudo dpkg -i [19:11] pen: after you change it i think you need to kill it then rerun it [19:11] it can't be installed right, oh well. kde doesn't have canonical lts anyway [19:12] ActionParsnip: do you have a reference for any problems that might arise? I know I cocked up fedora a while ago from following bad guides :) [19:12] ActionParsnip:i did and lost mbr...i want both.. [19:12] amanu, he/she (probably he) is speaking english, isn't he/she (probably he) [19:12] hanoi: the virus can affect any writable files in your os, including the ones "outside" wine [19:12] amanu: sudo dpkg -i /path/to/*.deb [19:12] can someone please help me, I've got a broadcom 4318 wireless card, and I've tried fwcutter and ndiswrapper and neither of them are working [19:12] ActionParsnip, ok [19:12] ganesh: you need to reinstall grub then add the entry for windows [19:12] ActionParsnip:ok i will do the same thank you [19:12] OH :S [19:12] ActionParsnip, It says: "Name of the file" is not responding. and gives two options: Wait and Force to quit. But then a second after it closes the window, couldnt take the screenshot [19:12] davidov: well.. it's hard to diagnose something over IRC.. you could check that the hard drive is ok.. try another fs (switch between ntfs, fat32, ext3) and see if it gets better.. try connecting the drive directly in a usb-port on the motherboard.. not in a hub. [19:12] i think only the wine :S [19:13] :S [19:13] a cookie for everyone who gets this riddle right? if /quit and /part were in a boat, and /part jumped out, who's left?!

[19:14] maniheer: yep [19:14] is the ubuntu without wine safe from virus and spywire ?!

[19:18] hanoi: wine is pretty safe.. you run it as a regular user.. and to be honest.. wine has so many bugs I doubt any viruses get a "platinum rating" [19:18] but it cant open msn mail [19:18] Anza: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=15911 [19:19] i want do make an ghost server [19:19] haw can i do ?

[19:19] Slart, There are like 4 versions I think, and yes all quite old [19:19] roukoun: On openJDK, that library is in "/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk/jre/lib/i386/xawt/libmawt.so" [19:19] Anza: hang on.. let me have a look [19:20] roukon: See http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?searchon=contents&keywords=libmawt.so&mode=exactfilename&suite=hardy&arch=any [19:20] ActionParsnip:there i can find a file "root.disk " can i open that?

[19:22] ActionParsnip:horrible means good or bad? [19:22] Slart, So, I have to install Cedega after installing wine, right? [19:22] Anza: I think it's a separate install [19:22] amanu: bad [19:22] Anza: nope you either use wine or you use cedega [19:22] amanu: just my opinion [19:22] its ok [19:22] amanu, i haven't used wubi but i guess you can just mount the image using the loop device [19:22] Anza: but you might want to check the cedega site to get info about it.. I've never used it [19:23] roukoun: You can add the correct path to an export-ed LD_LIBRARY_PATH shell variable before starting frostwire, so it looks in the place where the library is [19:23] Slart, yes, anyway... cannot be worse than wine [19:23] velko:its not like a image its like a "root.disk" [19:23] and swap.disk [19:23] Anza: it can be just as bad as wine plus cost you money =) [19:23] velko: try running file /path/to/root.disk [19:23] the 2 partitions [19:23] Anza: given that all that cedega does is vampirize wine .... [19:23] velko: wrong target, sorry [19:23] Slart, Dammit! [19:24] amanu: They are binary disk images, just like virtual machine images [19:24] hello again [19:24] amanu: try file /path/to/root.disk [19:24] amanu, what does "file /path/to/root.disk" typed from the console says? [19:24] erUSUL: doesn't cedega contribute back to wine? [19:24] velko:ok i will check [19:24] Slart: he oce promised to do so... wine dev are still waiting [19:24] hello [19:24] hello mario [19:24] Slart, erUSUL, Do you guys think its possible to run Age of Empires on Wine? [19:24] IntuitiveNipple: how can i do it? [19:24] hi [19:25] Anza: it's got a silver rating.. so sure.. it should be possible [19:25] amanu: See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WubiGuide#Can%20I%20back%20up%20the%20installation%20files? [19:25] Anza: what happens when you try? [19:25] where r u from guys? [19:25] ActionParsnip, Cannot tell, I've not tried yet... I was just thinking about Wine: Install or not to install! [19:25] Slart: the fact is wine for a long time sucked for games becouse they were waiting for cedega changes... once they rialized those changes would not come back as promised they implemented games support sepparately and recent versions of wine are not that bad [19:25] ERROR: cannot open `Volume_/ubuntu/disks/to/r [19:25] Anza: try it, you can uninstall. Its not permanent [19:25] MARIO: read the topic! [19:26] roukoun: export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk/jre/lib/i386/xawt/libmawt.so; frostwire [19:26] IntuitiveNipple:here path means the path where root.dik is? [19:26] is there any ekiga user? I can't make it work even if I registered an account on ekiga.net ... [19:26] erUSUL: hmm.. and here I was thinking of paying for cedega just to do something good [19:26] right, question, whenever I open programs they auto-snap to the left hand side of the desktop, any way to get them to open in the location they were last closed? [19:26] ActionParsnip, yes, I will install Wine and try to install the game from the cd. Another option is not to install a virtual desk and install windows in there? [19:26] amanu: you'll need to mount the partition the wubi is installed on [19:26] Slart: maybe wine accepts paypal donations... [19:26] amanu: Yes... it assumes you have mounted the NTFS file-system in Ubuntu, so you have access to the files inside it... and hence to the root.disk image [19:27] I am typing the username of a firend of mine, but nothing is happening [19:27] What is the easiest way to switch between programs? [19:27] Slart: XD [19:27] Anza: not sure if itd run. its an avenue worth trying [19:27] ryan_: alt+tab [19:28] Anyway, thanks for the help... I will try and surely come with other questions later XD [19:28] ActionParsnip: thx. [19:28] guys, I just got pointed to the dualhead wiki, can't make any of the options work :( can I have some advice please? [19:28] IntuitiveNipple: it didnt work... i have the same output [19:28] !xinerama | ben1 [19:28] ben1: xinerama is an extension to !X to use two or more physical displays as one large virtual display. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/XineramaHowTo - See also !DualHead [19:29] Is somebody compiled Qt4 successful?? [19:29] hahahaha surprise! I lost the cd's gotto dl it from some where now... so, will take longer [19:29] any tips guys? or do sll programs auto-open on the left and there's nothing that can be done? [19:29] thanks again parsnip :) [19:29] hey, i'm still having that problem. i can't get any sound from my browser at all. [19:29] amanu: The root.disk can be mounted on the loop file-system, using something like: "sudo losetup /dev/loop0 /path/to/root.disk" - then, you can mount that in Ubuntu using something like: "sudo mkdir -p /mnt/wubi; sudo mount /dev/loop0 /mnt/wubi" [19:29] ihax: do you get sound everywhere else? [19:29] ihax: did you install the libflash thingy? [19:29] I'm trying to compile various programs on my Athlon 64 X2 box for x86.What special things do I need to do to make this work? I've heard of a "-m32" flag, but not much else help.Is there a shell script to automatically start a shell with CFLAGS and ARCH and that lot all set for this type of development? I think there are some flags I quite often leave out by mistake.Finally, would it be better to just compile on a virtual mac [19:29] i did [19:30] ActionParsnip:if i have root.disk then what i have to type? [19:30] banshee works no problem [19:30] amanu: file root.disk [19:30] i do get sound from other things, just not my browser [19:30] amanu: id try mount it like IntuitiveNipple says [19:30] roukoun: Hmmm, maybe the frostwire start-up is over-riding the value [19:30] ihax: is it in flash by any chance? [19:30] probably, it's youtube [19:31] ihax: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=204022 [19:31] ihax: close all web browsers before doing stuff to resolve [19:31] soory if i have root.disk at here in my system "'/media/New Volume_/ubuntu/disks/root.disk'" then what i have to type [19:31] awesome thanks [19:31] roukoun: I'd check if "frostwire" is a shell script that sets up variables, and if so, make sure it doesn't over-write LD_LIBRARY_PATH, and even export the variable inside the script [19:31] anyone know a good program that willl let me broadcast from my hauppauge tvtuner card through my webcam?

[19:33] quaal: what about it?

I think I'll stop arguing now.=) [19:37] olskolirc: OH!!! you didn't mean feed the TV input into the *webcam*, you meant feed the input *out* via a program that might also be able to broadcast the input from another input device, the webcam ! [19:37] Slart: http://i270.photobucket.com/albums/jj93/andrew_woodhead666/MyScreenshot.png?t=1223750249 [19:37] IntuitiveNipple:so how can i mount it im a little bit confused [19:37] IntuitiveNipple, maybe amanu just misses the back slash in "New\ Volume_"?

[22:04] name_name, I never use totem, i use VLC and it works a lot better ;) [22:04] name_name, sudo apt-get install vlc [22:05] lisa__, that command is scary [22:05] I mean geeky [22:05] jin, not for me, i dont fear it [22:05] andresmh: no.. you can't have the bling bling without paying the price.. =) [22:05] I have installed fuseSmb but i can only se my own compter pinging other computers in the network works. [22:05] lisa__, i beg to differ vmware 2 is pretty damn awesome [22:05] jin, I do not fear that command at all, i am sorry it scares you, maybe you need some help dealing with your fear :) [22:05] usser, its relative [22:05] usser, what is so awsome about it? [22:06] how do I undo "sudo ln -sf /etc/fonts/conf.avail/10-autohint.conf /etc/fonts/conf.d/"? it was supposed to fix blurred fonts but didn't [22:06] jin, the ability to access your vm's from anywhere in the world thru the browser [22:06] usser, for me, in my personal opinion, and in my perspective and relativity, vbox is better than vmware. but its subjective [22:06] jin, the fact that it runs windows 98 much better than virtualbox [22:06] opsd: looks like you created a link, you can just delete it [22:06] im gonna dl this VB and compare it to VMware to see for myself i guess [22:06] usser, oh, I don't need that feature.. vbox runs great for me [22:06] usser, is win98 free yet? lol [22:06] a separate question Slart, is there a way to merge both Gnome panels into only one, like in Windowz? where you can see your open apps as well as the "Start" menu? [22:07] grab virtualbox.org [22:07] lisa__, you can find it online :) [22:07] opsd: you might want to be careful though.. [22:07] is virtualbox opensource?? [22:07] usser, lisa__ pros and cons of vmware &co a not *really* on topic here :) [22:07] freeware? [22:07] my v4l-info sees my webcam what camorama don't. it says driver : "uvcvideo" card : "Acer Crystal Eye webcam " bus_info : "0000:00:1d.7". What is this bus id or why doesn't this work? [22:07] jin, fullscreen in vmware doesnt break when compiz is running etc [22:07] andresmh: sure.. just unlock the menu and drag it to the bottom panel [22:07] guntbert, sorry [22:07] unop: thanks. but i need to list this command in crontab? [22:07] andresmh: do the same with the task tray and the rest of the little icons [22:07] usser, i dont download illegal (c) stuff. I meant has MS made any plans to realse it free? :P but I guess they wont, not even DOS is free lol [22:07] unop: yes? [22:08] Slart: but that will lead to having two bottom panels, no? [22:08] Vladimir[LV], what do you want to do exactly? delete all files older than 1 month ? [22:08] Slart, hmm so should I delete /etc/fonts/conf.avail/10-autohint.conf or /etc/fonts/conf.d/10-autohint.conf? [22:08] usser, mhh now you mention it. vbox did not play well when going into fllscreenmode [22:08] andresmh: don't drag the panel.. just drag the menu [22:08] ichbinesdetelch: im sorry i cannot find where that is. [22:08] i vote for virtualbox over vmware :-) [22:08] and the feature seemsly did not worked 100% either [22:08] lisa__, nah they cant opensource it, if they do ppl will see just how much of innovation theres in windows compared to os/2 [22:08] opsd: go to the folder using a command line.. then use ls -l, you will see what is files and what is links [22:08] michaelklinckibu: tried lspci in terminal? [22:09] Slart: what exactly do you mean with "menu" ? [22:09] jin, yep. that was one of the reasons i switched [22:09] virtualbox can also load and run vmware virtual machine [22:09] usser, interesting [22:09] lisa__, and vice versa [22:09] andresmh: the "Applications Places System" thingy.. it's just an applet.. just like the volume thingy.. or the little trash can [22:09] usser, :) [22:09] usser, is vmware free ? [22:09] aha! thanks Slart [22:09] can I install it via apt? [22:09] ichbinesderelch: yes, but i dont find anything on wireless in there [22:10] andresmh: or you can just add a menu to the bottom panel.. right click on the panel, select "Add to panel" and find the menu [22:10] anyone ever encounter hal.dll errors after install of grub === balrog_ is now known as balrog [22:10] unop: no, just apache logs.. [22:10] usser, virtualbox is free, and vmware is not. (unless you use that crappy free vmware version) :P [22:10] Question, what is a good gnome TTS program? [22:10] nope i have the ace edition [22:10] michaelklinckibu: just paste the whole fing into a pastebin and post the url again pls [22:10] the 1 that goes for over a grand [22:10] I can only find ksayit for KDE. [22:10] unop: -mtime and -ctime - unix time? [22:10] I think you can't not create a virtual machine with the free version [22:10] Vladimir[LV], you could use this in crontab if you like [22:10] jin, there is a free vmware version, but it only runs premade ones [22:10] unop: *this time is in unix time format? [22:10] hubar: Question, what is a TTS program? [22:10] Slart: ok, will do. btw, do you know how to fix this issue with blurred fonts? eg. the terminal menu is perfectly clear, but the terminal text itself is blurred [22:10] jin, you cant install your own OS using the free vmware. but virtualbox you can [22:10] Vladimir[LV], mtime - modification time, ctime - change time [22:11] lisa__, vmware server is free [22:11] http://paste.ubuntu.com/56419/ [22:11] lisa__, lets u create vms [22:11] Vladimir[LV]: you *really' should read 'man logrotate', logrotate will also delete old logfiles [22:11] Slart: text to speech. [22:11] yeah ace edition is what cost [22:11] opsd: try changing the font you use in the terminal.. some fonts handle antialiasing better than others [22:11] guntbert: ohh x)) [22:11] lisa__, anyway that offtopic [22:11] usser, ah yeah i forgot about that free server version. that still free? and if so why? [22:11] Vladimir[LV], it depends on what you mean by unix time format? there is no single format to represent time [22:11] ichbinesderelch: http://paste.ubuntu.com/56419/ [22:11] hubar: festival is one app ..

But wow is now all black all i can see is text. [22:41] ndo: hm, but ram would be to small for oo install [22:41] Oh.. Hello again :) How i can configure folder replication on ubuntu? (on local machine and over 2 machines) [22:41] <[TiZ]> perlsyntax: What do you mean? Are there any error messages?

[22:41] no errors [22:41] Irishmanluke: would you mind repeating?

I just restored .evolution, but when I start Evolution, it goes on like it's the first time I've started it. Did I miss something? [22:42] Tiz, i not sure why it doing it [22:42] merkoth: I was yelled at for repeating before it's at 17:18 on my system if that means anything to you [22:42] Vladimir[LV], you could use rsync (or something that uses rsync like unison, etc) - but a better way would be to use a network file system. [22:42] eastern standard time [22:43] bingungaja: I don't see either of those programs in the standard repositories, are you using a special repsitory? [22:43] <[TiZ]> I wouldn't know ether, perlsyntax. Maybe someone else here would be able to tell you. [22:43] i hopeing [22:43] because it means not to me go and download all those versions to try it out... [22:43] ndo: u can either have the ubu-live with all contained progs (there are different) or install it (and much more from the Inet) or have oo for win from inet, no ubu at all [22:43] Does anyone know how to delate my gnome panel?

[22:44] ok [22:44] bingungaja: did you do anything special besides just selecting it in synaptic? I don't see it when I launch synaptic which implies to me you added a special repository (the place that synaptic looks for applications) [22:44] !nfs > Vladimir[LV] [22:44] Vladimir[LV], please see my private message [22:45] how do i delete my gnome panel so i can get awn on start up?

Since you installed it from synaptic and not the ubuntu "Add/Remove Software" dialogue it might not get added ot the menu automatically [22:47] ubottu: CoC?

[22:48] wow are u still awake:d [22:48] dam:P [22:48] bingungaja: when you installed it in synaptic, did it require "gyachi" as a dependency? try just running "gyachi" [22:48] !who|perlsyntax [22:48] perlsyntax: 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 :) [22:49] perlsyntax:type with sudo in terminal [22:49] ok [22:49] Vladimir[LV], a network filesystem is really a shared folder on one single machine (a server) that is mounted on each client, when a client saves files to the share it is actually saved on the server and all clients see the same directory and contents, etc [22:49] inasmu : no no, i don't install it in synaptic, i instal it by clicking the deb file, after that, i try to search in the application menu (can't find it), then i try to remove (can't find it either), but i tried to search in synaptic, it shows ..... [22:50] then type in kill all gnome-panel like that? [22:50] if i am right DasEi [22:50] Vladimir[LV], if you have windows machines on your network - you could use !samba to the same effect. [22:50] perlsyntax:sudo killall gnome-panel [22:50] greetings [22:50] useless use of sudo [22:51] unop: owned by user ? [22:51] bingungaja: ooooooh, okay that makes sense. Synaptic lists all applications that you've installed so thats why it shows up there after you installed it. You can try doing a "locate" in terminal to see if it installed binaries somewhere [22:51] DasEi, sure - all desktop components are - unless explicitly configured otherwise (but that's hardly ever) [22:51] DasEi: yes [22:51] I have a problem installing Linux 8.04, whenever I pick the language, my screen goes blank and the osd says "No support" [22:52] is there any way to force it into text-mode ? [22:52] DasEi, i did that and it go and then it come back. [22:52] Iceman_B^Ltop: yOU MIGHT WANT TO TRY THE ALTERNATE IMAGE [22:52] inasmu : sorry to ask, but how exactly can i do that ? [22:52] odd [22:52] sorry about the caps [22:52] ubottu: wtf [22:52] Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [22:52] ubottu: anything [22:52] So, you wanted to lure me into saying I don't know anything about anything? Yeah, that would be funny, of course. Now leave me alone.

[22:52] hi [22:53] !messagethebot > Irishmanluke [22:53] Irishmanluke, please see my private message [22:53] merkoth: hehe, n/p. but there is no other way but using the alternate cd ? [22:53] perlsyntax: what do you want it to be ? (sorry) [22:53] bingungaja: don't apologize, "locate" is a very useful command line tool that'll find things. Type in "locate gyachi" and see if it finds anything in /usr/bin, or /usr/sbin or something [22:53] i just want my awn panel only that no grome-panel [22:53] Iceman_B^Ltop: to make a text-only install, no [22:53] DasEi [22:54] I knew the command existed from my pm [22:54] hrm, okay [22:54] Iceman_B^Ltop: anyway, your problem is kinda weird [22:54] merkoth: I know. I have a strange panel [22:54] ubottu: akptitude [22:54] Sorry, I don't know anything about akptitude [22:54] Iceman_B^Ltop: a strange panel? are you installing from the livecd? [22:55] ubottu: aptitude [22:55] aptitude is another terminal-based front-end to APT. Like other APT front-ends, it can install/remove packages and their dependencies (on Dapper and earlier, however, only aptitude keeps track of unused dependencies). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptitudeSurvivalGuide [22:55] perlsyntax: awn panel ? own panel .. you can left-click it an set its behaviour [22:55] Iceman_B^Ltop: have you tried choosing "install ubuntu" from the livecd boot? [22:55] is there a reason why the adobe "flashplugin-nonfree" only works until the next reboot? [22:55] Iceman_B^Ltop: that way you don't load the whole desktop [22:55] i try to delate my gnome-panel [22:55] so i can use my awn panel [22:55] i need the prog for psp for ubuntu [22:55] inasmu : hm ..... none in those folder, that's mean the installation is failed ? [22:56] DasEi [22:56] merkoth: I burned the "normal" cd [22:56] so I guess that's the livecd [22:56] bingungaja: not necessarily, type "echo $PATH" and see if "gyachi" has a file in any of those places [22:56] ive tried the "install ubuntu" option but at some point, the screen goes blank [22:57] ok i wanna install madwifi drivers for ubuntu [22:57] Iceman_B^Ltop: right. but when you boot that cd you can choose to "install" or "run without modifications" [22:57] apt-get install madwifi [22:57] so it might be some res and/or refreshrate thats not supported [22:57] bingungaja: $PATH is an environment variable that holds all the places the terminal looks for executable files [22:57] doesnt work [22:57] DasEi, is there away i can't delate the gnome-panel before i login into my desktop? [22:57] Iceman_B^Ltop: if you choose to run you can install later by using the icon on the desktop [22:57] do i have to download them from smwhere else ? [22:57] merkoth: ah, right [22:57] I'll try that, brb [22:58] enode.net [22:58] inasmu : /usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games ---- the answer ... [22:58] Hi. Is there a GTK app that can play music from MTP devices? I don't think WMP11 can, but Amarok Beta 2 does. Is there one you could recommend? Thanks. :) [22:58] Iceman_B^Ltop: But maybe you could try using the other method, which doesn't load the whole desktop [22:58] Iceman_B^Ltop: you could also check the cd for defects [22:58] bingungaja: okay, now look if "gyachi" or "gyachivl42" is in one of those places [22:58] Iceman_B^Ltop: you really shouldn't have to use the alternate :/ [22:58] perlsyntax:now I got you, you can set the session type, but I havent used advanced windows navigator (awn), so I don't now if its a chooseable surface, ask again [22:59] apt-get install madwifi NO SUCH driver ? do i have to download from website ??

You need to install the one that matches your kernel version [23:02] inasmu : nothing .... [23:03] <[T]ank> anyone here a cedega user on ubuntu 8? [23:03] bingungaja: yeah, that implies that it either didn't install properly or the .deb file you downloaded didn't work. Where did you get it from?

[23:06] inasmu : ya ... but gyachi is the closest one to yahoo messenger, we can has the same smiley, cam and winks as ym :) [23:06] inasmu : already uninstalled :P it's useless haha [23:06] there are 1300 people in here and noone has triple booted [23:06] bingungaja: in that case, perhaps try going to its website instead of getting a .deb from a forum [23:06] how do i find the kernel version and the madwifi driver that matches [23:06] can anyone help me to get rid of skipped frames/jerky video, it's on all the media player when i switch to full screen.

[23:09] Lerxst51: you don't need "echo" with that, you can just do "uname -r" [23:09] the intrepid beta reversed my mouse horizontal scrolling in firefox. Aybody know how to reverse it back? [23:09] inasmu: true, thanks [23:09] Aeosynth: check the screen saver options.. some have the option of requiring a password for reentry.. [23:10] inasmu : already tried the real gyachi, but it won't support v4l2 cam, some trick from googling said that i should install flashcam, so it will support v4l, done that too, but when i tested in webcamtest, only black screen, i don't know what to do anymore :P then ...i found this link, stated that it support v4l2, but as u know, it's broken :) [23:11] bingungaja: hrm, I'm not sure then. I'm sorry, I don't use ym or a webcam [23:11] I tried updating from 8.04 hardy to the new beta 8.10 and i had to restore the whole system because i got the lovely black screen. does it have something to do with my nvidia 6100 ?

[23:12] nosklo: you checked that the proper module is loading, right? [23:12] is there any way I can force a resolution and refreshrate during the install, when I boot from the live cd ? [23:13] k5ehx, I don't know which module is being used. Ubuntu 6.06 detects that automatically. [23:13] Iceman_B^Ltop: you might need to use the "Alternate" installer.. available at www.ubuntu.com [23:13] Scunizi: thats whaty merkoth also suggested, but I wonder if that'll solve the problem [23:14] once Linux goes graphical, my monitor goes blue and proclaims "Not Supported" [23:14] Iceman_B^Ltop: what kind of vid card?

[23:19] m3thod: no, because xls are spreadsheets and .doc are word documents; they are not compatible with each other in terms of formatting. [23:19] or a 50 cal [23:19] and the monitor says "no support" [23:19] m3thod: you might be able to import a .xls in to the word processor [23:19] yes.
