[00:00] running ubuntu 8.0.4 on windows via vmware server 1.0.6. on a alienware notebook. need help configuring belkin wireless N pcmcia card f5d8013 ver 1000 [00:01] why i cant install any SO's in my HP laptop [00:01] owen1: will remember it for my 300MHz Thinkpad [00:01] soundray: never tried ratpoison. i treid xmonad and others. [00:01] soundray: can i automate the mount? [00:02] Hello, anyone know why I can't seem to see the Broadcom STA Wireless Driver from my Hardware Drivers Menu? [00:02] is there someone i can IM that knows about the installation cd? [00:02] PriceChild: thanks for that, very nice. [00:03] I see the B43 one, but it isn't the one I want [00:03] no one wants to tackle the wireless issue, i see, it is a bit redundant but I assure you i have done my homework [00:03] owen1: I'm sure it's possible, but I have no experience with automounting removable devices outside of Gnome === bluman2 is now known as blu2 [00:03] SpinachHead: ask the real questino [00:03] exodus, I see you're also having a wireless issue [00:03] grr i need more ram :( 2gb isnt cutting it for 2 clients 1 server (ubuntu) xp client on a vista host :( [00:04] I'm trying to do a netBoot install using a local Apache server using the ubuntu-8.04.1-server-i386 distro. Which folder (from the ISO) should be the root of the HTTP server in order for this to work? (I've already got the PXE side of things working). [00:04] okay, I need to install hardy without internet. Does the cd have all the packages or does the istallation process dl the packages as the install goes? [00:04] soundray: get it. created a 1 line script, called it usb-drive. [00:04] SpinachHead: the desktop cd has all the packages you need to install === emma_ is now known as emma [00:05] does anybody knows why my user is not listed in the System > Administration > Users and Groups dialog? i'm running hardy [00:05] soundray: to mount it. [00:05] SpinachHead, yes, the cd will download a working OS but you will need an Internet connection to "fetch" updates and packages not avail on the cd [00:05] owen1: that's a good way [00:05] Are there any settings I can use to raise the audio on Ubuntu past the default max? I can bearly hear my audio of movies even with it maxxed. [00:06] tgitan, doubleclick on the audio panel on the top bar, and adjust the far right bar [00:06] okay, so i did the alternate cd disk. I got to configre intenet. since i dont have, i said later. Then when installing packages in the next step it said error. and I assumed it was because o lack of connetctionl i did the md5sum on the cd and everything was fine. so why would it stop installing ? [00:06] titan_: double click the volume icon to get the mixer and make sure that both Master volume and PCM are turned up [00:06] Rideh: short answer - yes :) [00:06] titan, you can also maybe change the 'Front' level [00:07] ok checking soundray [00:07] SpinachHead: you would need to tell us the error. You ran "check the cd for defects"? Not just md5sum on the iso? [00:07] salve [00:07] ah! Headphone audio was down! Thanks :) [00:07] ho appena installato ubuntu [00:07] Helminthe: hehe just having trouble finding good resources, i dont mind rtfm as long as i'm looking at the right one [00:07] ma vedo la schermata di login gigantesca [00:07] come devo cfvare' [00:07] Oh ya, there we go, alot of different ones were too low [00:08] does anybody knows why my user is not listed in the System > Administration > Users and Groups dialog? there is only the root user in the list :( [00:08] okay, ill check for defects....

[00:08] the live cd wont run with my card i guess I tried it before [00:09] just freezes [00:10] i have the same prob with every disto. x never work unless istall drivers from command line [00:10] i [00:10] does anybody knows why my user is not listed in the System > Administration > Users and Groups dialog? there is only the root user in the list :( [00:10] add a user === qwerfd is now known as keram [00:10] jonasfa, in a terminal type "id" and hopefully your uid is not "root" [00:10] does making su unexecutable remove the possibility of a user changing userrs? [00:11] soundray, could use your help [00:11] Hrm... any way to make out-of-hd-space work more gracefully for "normal users"? [00:11] Jowi: i'm not using the root user :( [00:11] jonasfa: maybe youre thining to root user is you. its not - root is hidden in ubuntu [00:11] night all [00:11] i use root all the time [00:11] sudo bash or sudo -i [00:11] exodus_MS: please ask the channel. If I can help, I will [00:11] KenBW2: the root user is listed in the 'Users and Groups' dialog, but my user, jonas, is not [00:11] scientus_: be careful with sudo bash [00:11] running ubuntu 8.0.4 on windows via vmware server 1.0.6. on a alienware notebook. need help configuring belkin wireless N pcmcia card f5d8013 ver 1000 [00:12] !rootshell | scientus_ [00:12] scientus_: Using !sudo with single commands is preferable in most circumstances. However, if you really need a root shell, use « sudo -i » (other variants of this commands are redundant and/or potentially dangerous) [00:12] not being able to log into a user does not meen you cant use it [00:12] (mainly happens w/ everything-at-defaults virtual machine installations w/ small-ish hd allocation after couple updates) [00:12] hi ! i got a network question - i run ubuntu in a vm and it often disconnects my hosts wlan connection - tried roaming and static - but when i open a network path from host system it disconnects my hosts wlan [00:12] what would be dangerous, bash doesnt change any config files by default [00:13] exodus_MS: why don't you configure WLAN in the host system and use NAT to Ubuntu? [00:13] itts not dependant on $HOME, etc [00:13] SpinachHead, i wish i could help. there are many linux savy folks on this channel, maybe one of them will take the time to help you. dont give up and hang in there [00:14] scientus_: good question, i've wondered this too. Same as the addage 'guns don't kill people, people do'.. i.e. bash won't destroy your system, only you as the one who runs it will [00:14] if you don't know what you are doing [00:14] soundray, tried that, ubuntu doesnt regonise my card [00:14] I just installed linux a couple days ago, my cd rom drive isn't working. hwd -s doesn't say anything about it, so I don't know if it is even being detected. Any suggestions? [00:14] im using bridged netowrk currently [00:14] Does anyone have any suggestions as how to get Java applets to work correctly in firefox? The default does not work, and I have tried ubottu's link, which did not work. I had it working on the same install before, but for some reason it just now decided to fail. [00:14] how do i get amarok to play m4a format? and read the id3s correctly? [00:15] scientus_: running a root shell, you may have certain expectations about where variables point, e.g. $HOME. sudo bash and sudo -i are different in that respect [00:15] R0b0t1: could be because ubuntu doesnt include the official Java [00:15] Do any of you have a media player the use the mtp protocol ? Is good management program for device that use it . So you can add songs , movies , picture easy [00:15] R0b0t1: you need to give details. What exactly did you do that did not work? And how exactly did it not work? [00:15] exodus_MS: it doesn't have to if it's recognized in the host system [00:15] try this dumpbin command using the kernel32.lib file [00:15] ahh, programs make assume root sheel and $HOME=/root etc are constant, i can see that [00:15] tarelerulz: Rhythmbox has a plugin or MTP [00:15] Well, OK. I dealt with this problem a while back and fixed. [00:15] it [00:16] What I did was change the default java by using the replace-alternatives, etc. [00:16] !enter | R0b0t1 [00:16] R0b0t1: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [00:16] But now that will not work. [00:16] nathan-_: most preinstalled linux systems can be crashed in the store with a 12-character bash command. [00:16] but soundray i did point out my not thinking that---big thing is i like my working directory to stay the same or i wont use it [00:16] R0b0t1: don't say "doesn't work", say what exactly happens [00:16] try this dumpbin command using the kernel32.lib file [00:16] jrib: Nothing. [00:16] soundray, ok, im on the host system right now and ubuntu is running in vmware, but i still cannot connect to internet from ubuntu [00:16] Nothing happens when something should be happening. [00:17] KenBW2 , do you just drag over the files you want to have on the player and the player read the tags and organize it right. [00:17] (because they have no ulimits set and ridiculously bad OOM handling) [00:17] exodus_MS: have you configured VMware to share its connection with the virtual machine? [00:17] running Hardy, need to run gksu displayconfig-gtk .... ERROR: GtK-WARNING **: cannot open display [00:17] R0b0t1: great, I have no understanding of what your issue is. You're goal is to install the sun java plugin in firefox? [00:17] However, when I do try to change the default Java, it says everything worked, but after restarting and then using "java -version" it still says it is OpneJDK. [00:18] jrib: Actually, its to get that, and allow java applications to run. [00:18] nonix4: ok you can destroy a system if you do know what you are doing also. But it all implies that the user is an idiot (i.e. has no idea and could break a system unknowingly, or does know what they are doing and breaks a system intentionally - both are idiots) [00:18] is it a problem if i used 2 bridged networks in a vm for xp and ubuntu ? [00:18] soundray, im using NAT [00:18] R0b0t1: the java you get from running "java" and the java that runs in your browser are two different things. So which of those do you want to work on? [00:19] jrib: Lets work on the non-browser right now, thanks :) === Eisbar is now known as Jesus [00:19] R0b0t1: pastebin 'update-java-alternatives -l' [00:20] jrib: http://pastebin.com/me2ef81d [00:20] exodus_MS: have you tried pinging the outside world from Ubuntu? [00:20] does anybody knows why my user is not listed in the System > Administration > Users and Groups dialog? there is only the root user in the list, and i'm not logged in as root [00:20] R0b0t1: which one of those do you wish to make default? [00:20] java-6-sun [00:21] R0b0t1: sudo update-java-alternatives -s java-6-sun [00:21] jrib: I've done it before, but sure ;) [00:22] Is that all? [00:22] R0b0t1: sure. Check 'java -version' [00:22] Wait. [00:22] Why didn't it work before? [00:22] R0b0t1: jrib's magic touch [00:22] jrib: Do you think you could help me set up the browser, now, if you have time? [00:23] nathan-_: well on a properly configured system a fork bomb shouldn't really do anything more than consume a bit of cpu :) [00:23] R0b0t1: what's wrong with the browser one? [00:23] configureing apt sources... withouth network connection will that cause installation errors? [00:23] for a system with AMD Athlon x2 5400 and 4GB ram and a nvidia 8600GT card with 512MB which version of ubuntu would be best to install on such a machine ? [00:23] Applets won't run, so I'm trying to use the sun Java, because that worked in the past. [00:23] R0b0t1: output of 'uname -m'? [00:24] x86_64 [00:24] * jonasfa is testing [00:24] nylax: how are you planning to use it? [00:24] does anybody knows why my user is not listed in the System > Administration > Users and Groups dialog? there is only the root user in the list, and i'm not logged in as root [00:24] R0b0t1: sun does not make a 64bit java. You must run an open java plugin like with the gcjwebplugin package or install 32bit firefox like in the !java64 factoid [00:24] !who | R0b0t1 [00:24] R0b0t1: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [00:25] nylax: nothing wrong w/ 8.04 for that [00:25] soundray: coding (php,python,postgresql,mysql and mono ) ,surfing web,listening to music [00:25] soundray, 30 packets trans, 30 rec, 0% packet loss, time 41325ms [00:25] my user is not listed in the System > Administration > Users and Groups dialog. what can i do? [00:26] soundray, ^^ from "guest" ubuntu [00:26] jrib: Oh, I get it. Does that package have known compatibility issues, or am I just unlucky? [00:26] jonasfa: why does it need to be? [00:26] nylax: if it was my machine, I'd put Ubuntu 8.04 x86_64 on it. There is a slight issue with java in 64bit, so you may prefer i386 [00:26] R0b0t1: sun is just lazy (or whatever). The bug on their tracker is several years old, but they don't release a 64bit plugin [00:26] nylax: btw that video card is overkill for the mentioned usage :) [00:26] KenBW2: i want to manage my user's groups [00:26] exodus_MS: so it's working [00:27] you must delete user mackein [00:27] nonix4: all computers since 1997 have been overkill for that kind of usage [00:27] soundray, yeah, its working... sorry [00:27] nonix4:it was a gaming machine :) [00:28] soundray, microsft conditioned, always assuming the worst :-) [00:28] how can i end a software process in ubuntu ultimate, DEBIAN.. [00:28] delete mackein user and republican group they are virusç [00:28] nylax: hey i wanna trade my geforce 6800GT with yours :D :D :D [00:28] :D [00:28] nylax: :) [00:29] how should i config the network in a vm with a xp system running as host and another xp in vm same time ? [00:29] soundray: yeah indeed. My 1998 p2c300a oc'd to 450MHz is still good enough for almost anything, including video playback... actually it can even do q3a [00:29] roaming doesnt seem to be the best for that [00:30] How can I cancel a print job in ubuntu? [00:30] KenBW2: any clue? [00:30] nonix4, curious about "anything" [00:30] jonasfa: sorry, no [00:30] KenBW2: thanks :/ [00:30] I wanna buy a new computer but my wallet is so thin atm :) [00:31] Hi :-) - someone here using fcpci ? [00:31] dekkong: why buy a new one? [00:31] Danskmand: not you again... [00:31] Danskmand: just kidding. Welcome back :) [00:32] how can i end a software process in ubuntu ultimate, DEBIAN..

I cant find anything newer than 3.10.08 [00:32] vadi2: 'sudo lpq' to get a list of current jobs, 'sudo lprm num' to delete it by job number [00:32] is there a bug report on hd full handling of "default install" systems already? IMHO when using the (stupid) layout with only / partition, /var/cache/apt/archives should be cleaned automatically when it uses more than 50% of the hd space and there's 0% free...

[00:56] soundray, after logging in [00:56] login was fine [00:56] I'm trying to do a netBoot install using a local Apache server using the ubuntu-8.04.1-server-i386 distro. Which folder (from the ISO) should be the root of the HTTP server in order for this to work? (I've already got the PXE side of things working). [00:57] this is the 4th room and still no help [00:57] wesku_: you have an nvidia card? did you ever install nvidia binary driver with this? [00:57] How can I find out if I'm using the 32bit or 64bit version of Ubuntu 8.04? [00:57] EruditeHermit: SUCCESS THANX SUCCESS THANX!!! fglrxinfo now shows ATI and radeon 9800. glxgears runs at 9160 frames in 5.0 seconds = 1832.000 FPS. its normal? i think its a bit slow. im on a p4 2.8 1.5ram (ati 9800 pro) [00:57] lakitu: do a Ctrl-Alt-Backspace and see if it works if you log into a Failsafe Gnome session [00:57] EruditeHermit: Yes, I have ti4200 and didn't install drivers [00:57] can i have help with my huge problem? [00:58] failsafe gnome is fine [00:58] isilion: if fglrxinfo shows fglrx and you can fgl_glxgears from commandline, then it is working [00:58] hey :) [00:58] stickmasta: YOu might want to ask a real question. [00:58] my ubuntu says "Error Loading Operating System" then hangs [00:58] help? [00:58] EruditeHermit: shall I try installing the drivers then? [00:58] wesku_: no [00:58] lakitu: would it be terrible if you had to reset your entire gnome configuration? [00:58] ..does anyone a way to adjust low level configurations like the L2 Cache that ubunutu use [00:59] *ubuntu uses [00:59] wesku_: do you want 3D and fancy stuff? [00:59] soundray, what are the ramifications of that - what would i lose? [00:59] EruditeHermit: nah [00:59] my ubuntu says "Error Loading Operating System" then hangs [00:59] , can i have help help? [00:59] im fine without [00:59] wesku_: don't bother then [00:59] stickmasta ask you question [00:59] your* [00:59] lakitu: things like your panel configuration, preferences settings etc. [00:59] try this dumpbin command using the kernel32.lib file [00:59] wesku_: do you need the ubuntu server stuff? I would recommend just installing ubuntu from a normal user CD [01:00] EruditeHermit: 2952 frames in 5.0 seconds = 590.400 FPS thats better. supose i was using wrong trial [01:00] soundray, i'd rather not. is there a way to "rollback" this update? [01:00] When Ubuntu Netboot connects to a mirror to look for packages, what file(s) is it seeking to determine if the mirror is valid? [01:00] may someone help me with my hanging screen please? [01:00] EruditeHermit: Well, no. [01:00] rainabba: define "valid" [01:00] hmm, is there an update on OpenOffice 3.0 yet? [01:00] EruditeHermit: could repeat me all the commands so i post it for if that could help someone more? [01:00] lakitu: downgrading is generally not supported. Do you know exactly what caused the problem? [01:00] isilion: glxgears and fgl_glxgears numbers don't really mean anything. It doesn't test how fast your card is really. The only thing they are good for is to show that GL is enabled [01:01] i need to know if i'm using 32bit or 64bit [01:01] soundray, just some updates that i had let go for awhile. they required rebooting [01:01] can some help me with my ubuntu, it says "Error Loading Operating System" then hangs [01:01] LjL: "Valid" meaning, the installed doesn't come back saying "Bad archive mirror" [01:01] wesku_: no, you don't need the server stuff or no you can't reinstall? [01:01] rovin:i think i have 3.0 in 8.10 i would need to check [01:01] s/installed/installer [01:01] soundray, so, no, not exactly [01:01] Bitbybit: type "uname -a" [01:01] ok thanks thiebaude. [01:01] EruditeHermit: I don't need the server stuff. This was only install media that I had near my hands ;) [01:01] yw [01:01] exit [01:01] LjL:tyvm [01:02] thiebaude: 8.10 is still on 2.4.1 [01:02] isilion: the only thing that is missing in the previous post from yours is sudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-local and comment the line in there [01:02] can some help me with my ubuntu, it says "Error Loading Operating System" then hangs [01:02] wesku_: hang on a sec before I tell you to do that [01:02] LjL: "Valid" meaning, the installer doesn't come back saying "Bad archive mirror" [01:02] hspaans,yup [01:02] wesku_: that will be the last resort [01:02] 2.4 [01:02] wesku_: I have never used ubuntu server edition so I don't know what it does [01:03] soundray, is there a way to tell why i'm getting a blackout in place of a desktop? [01:03] can some help me with my ubuntu, it says "Error Loading Operating System" then hangs [01:03] stickmasta: are you able to boot to recovery from grub menu? [01:03] rainabba: "Bad archive mirror - The specified ubuntu archive mirror is either not available, or does not have a valid Release file on it." [01:03] can I update to 8.10 when released from wubi? [01:03] and to be honest, 3.0 is not really a great improvement [01:03] lakitu: you could examine ~/.xsession-errors for clues [01:03] EruditeHermit: I think it's just install of ubuntu without the software packages and GUI [01:03] wesku_: can you ctrl+alt+F1 into a terminal [01:03] BitbyBit: No [01:03] EruditeHermit: yes, I'm in terminal currently [01:03] LjL: Ok, so what is a "Valid Release file"? [01:03] EruditeHermit: at least tell me what was the file i edited [01:03] hspaans:are you on 8.10? [01:03] rainabba: well, for starters if no "Release" file exists at all, then it's hardly valid [01:03] thiebaude: yes [01:04] stickmasta: check the disk for errors with a live disk perhaps? [01:04] Hey folks, I installed Emerald and now im interested in removing it.How do I get it off my comp? [01:04] stickmasta: your problem is not related to ubuntu or linux at all, what you said looks like a bios error message [01:04] isilion: I did. scroll up [01:04] isilion: I just told you [01:04] Myyoga: how did you install it? [01:04] soundray - do you think my fcpci can be healed ? [01:04] LjL: So a "valid Release file" is a file named "Release"? [01:04] through synaptic [01:04] wesku_: can you startx from it? [01:04] Myyoga: you remove it the same way [01:04] rainabba: well, and that contains the right stuff. just look at http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/hardy/Release , i don't have the specifications [01:04] EruditeHermit: already active on display 0 [01:05] LjL: Thank you [01:05] Danskmand: sorry, I haven't had to deal with ISDN for over 10 years (and am quite glad for it) [01:05] stickmasta: bios says that when it doesn't find anything bootable on MBR, your best bet is to boot a live cd and (re)install grub [01:05] wesku_: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop and then try startx [01:05] hmmmmm, good point. so then when I go back into the desktop effects tab, U cab choose normal or extra and emerald will not stat up? [01:05] *start [01:05] BitbyBit: well i shows the screen with my systems stuff on it then it looks from a boot record from cd, then it says ok, then tells me something about my hard drive then says "Error loading operating system" [01:05] soundray: What do you use for saxing then ? [01:05] Myyoga: it shouldn't. That should be all you have to do assuming you didn't configure it anywhere else for your user [01:06] Danskmand: faxing? [01:06] isilion: the only thing that is missing in the previous post from yours is sudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-local and comment the line in there [01:06] EruditeHermit: is there way to scroll terminal up and down? [01:06] .. who could I ask for a shortcut like "!nul" that would say "your problem is not related to ubuntu or linux at all"? [01:06] wesku_: what do you mean? scroll up to see previously entered commands? [01:06] i'm getting tired of typing this :) [01:06] !bot > Helminthe (Helminthe, see the private message from Ubotu) [01:06] Helminthe, please see my private message [01:06] EruditeHermit: yes [01:06] Helminthe: we have !ot or !offtopic for that [01:07] wesku_: hitting the up arrow key should do it? [01:07] wesku_ delete republican group is a virus [01:07] Hehe :-) - I mean that technique from the 80's before email was there ;-) [01:07] EruditeHermit: oh not the command the text that there is in terminal [01:07] wesku_: I don't think so =( [01:07] Danskmand: I use faxtastic for "saxing" === ubuntu__ is now known as Blue112 [01:08] EruditeHermit: ah, ok :/ But after stopping gdm, it still gives same error [01:08] wesku_: not that I know of [01:08] soundray, hmm [01:08] wesku_: what do you mean the same error? [01:08] wesku_: when you try to startx it flashes different colours? [01:08] EruditeHermit: "Server is already active for display 0" [01:08] in kubuntu.. where to put command "compiz --replace --only-current-screen & disown" so that it runes on every start up? [01:08] I no longer have title bar, its completely see through [01:09] wesku_: startx DISPLAY=:1 [01:09] thats with the visual effects set on normal [01:09] !startup > GaMbi_DK [01:09] GaMbi_DK, please see my private message [01:09] Myyoga: try logging out and back in. Come back here if you still have trouble [01:09] jrib: doesn't seem like I could add a "factoid" from the instructions in there.. [01:09] alright, thanks [01:09] !startup [01:09] To add programs to start up when you log into your Gnome session go to System>Preferences>Sessions and use the Startup Programs tab. For more information, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AddingProgramToSessionStartup - See !boot for starting non-interactive programs at boot [01:09] EruditeHermit: what is command for delete a file? [01:09] Helminthe: you can. You just say: foo is blah to ubottu [01:09] Soundray: "saxing".....Is that something done NOT in #ubuntu *blush* ? ;-) [01:10] Hi Ubuntistoj! [01:10] wesku_: rm [01:10] Danskmand: I'm referring to your typo ^^ [01:10] hello [01:10] wesku_: what are you deleting? [01:10] using kde :) [01:10] How can I find out what device a USB mouse (well, trackball) is using? [01:10] EruditeHermit: X0-lock [01:10] EruditeHermit: still colours flashing on the screen [01:11] soundray: Hehe :-) - Ping-pong ;-) [01:11] wesku_, also, you can "scroll" the screen in a non X session by hitting shift+PgUp [01:11] i am tring to install battlefield 2 on ubuntu and when it asked for cd i try to eject the cd and it says can not unmount volume and dosent let me eject it [01:11] wesku_: what type of panel is it? [01:11] is intrepid ibex going to have clear intrepid as default theme? or its just some theme thats on beta ?? [01:11] jrib: thanks, you're right, I had to wait for moderator approval too [01:11] EruditeHermit: huh? [01:11] soundray: http://pastebin.com/m6e4f985b [01:11] wesku_: what resolution, is it CRT, LCD etc [01:11] EruditeHermit: CRT [01:12] wesku_: what is the optimal resolution? [01:12] i'm having problems connecting my intel 5100agn with the internet [01:12] Helminthe: but as I said, isn't your !nul covered by !offtopic? [01:12] soundray, my .xsession-errors file [01:12] what's the easiest way to connect to th [01:12] e internet? [01:12] EruditeHermit: 1024x I think === brandon__ is now known as gen2 [01:13] lakitu: compiz might be the culprit. While you're still in failsafe, do a 'mv ~/.compiz ~/compizconfig-backup' and try logging into a normal session [01:13] Killer--Tux: make sure you don't have any file browsers browsing the cd or terminals (or any programs) [01:13] wesku_: can you post your xorg.conf somewhere? [01:13] jrib: the ot message is not helpful in any way for someone who cannot discern what part of their computer is not working [01:13] isilion: you figure it out? [01:14] I know it's strange, but the mouse runs but needs an entry in the Xorg.conf to work really well [01:14] what program would be the easiest way to get connected to my online network? [01:14] whats an optimal swap partition size for a system with 4GB of ram ? [01:14] can someone point me to a tutorial in getting pulseaudio to stream sound to a different in hardy? [01:14] nylax: do you need swap at all then ;) [01:14] *different computer [01:15] I'm having a problem with my 80211 subsystem, http://pastie.org/295492 [01:15] nylax: anything over 4GB if you want to hibernate it [01:15] vms i dont have any programs open [01:15] Can someone please assist? [01:15] nylax: it depends on whether you need hibernation. With, it would be 4.1GB, without, 512MB would be enough [01:15] !swap [01:15] 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 [01:15] ad [01:15] is there any movieclip manager with similar features as rhythmbox? For instance, if you have music videos, you might want to arrange different playlists, give ratings to clips and play the your favorite clips manually, etc? [01:15] soundray: ...So youre living in the UK....Maybe I can find something like it here in Germany.... [01:16] swap can make a system faster? [01:16] EruditeHermit: post is updated, hope it can help more ati-ubuntu users. once again, thanx. now im deeply happy with my computer [01:16] Hi, how do you reset the configuration file for a program in Ubuntu? My XChat is messed up and I just want to go through the first walkthrough [01:16] isilion: cool [01:16] hspaans, yes. [01:16] hspaans: nah, only prevent it from crashing! [01:16] Danskmand: web.de does something similar (can't really recommend them from a customer experience point of view, though) [01:16] mib_9nn3ow: mv ~/.xchat2/ ~/.xchat2.backup [01:17] thanks guys [01:17] Killer--Tux: tried unmounting from a terminal: umount /media/cdrom [01:17] what was the command to find the uuid of a hard drive, anyone remember? [01:17] XiXaQ: time for rereading my Solaris Internals books I expect [01:18] EruditeHermit: one more thing. i saw a video showing a cube linux desktop. id like to try that. do you know what application is responsable? [01:18] d2tehp, sudo blkid [01:18] soundray: Maybe my provider can do that....The thing is that I own a 1-person company and I cant use something that adds some kind of advertising or address-rewriting on the faxes... [01:18] ah, thx unop === dellubuntu is now known as DIL [01:18] soundray, didn't work, but good try [01:19] Hi, how do you reset the configuration file for a program in Ubuntu? My XChat is messed up and I just want to go through the first setup/walkthrough [01:19] Danskmand: is efax.com nothing for you? [01:19] Halp me: http://pastie.org/295492 [01:19] mib_9nn3ow, did you not see what jrib said to you?? [01:19] soundray: altho i noticed compiz was still in effect when i logged back in - shouldn't it've been off? [01:19] * MalfermitaKodo is kinda annoyed with the setting [01:20] *setup [01:20] lakitu: no, moving its config doesn't disable it. It just recreates a default .compiz dir when you start it again [01:20] i didnt, unop. sorry about that, and thank you jrib! [01:20] Is there a way to install an app again? I lost some files, and I want to reinstall the package [01:21] isilion: compiz [01:21] soundray, ok [01:21] naknomik, sudo aptitude reinstall package_name [01:21] vms what would be the best application to install the game cedega or wine [01:21] isilion: go to System-->Preferences->Appearance-->Visual Effects choose advanced [01:21] how do I ignore updates for a particular pkg? [01:22] last question, how do you install wine easiest? [01:22] mib_9nn3ow, Applications->Add/Remove === Doc8404 is now known as DocUSN-USMC [01:22] ty sacamano [01:22] isilion: or rather, choose Extra in Visual Effects [01:22] soundray - what should i do? [01:22] Killer--Tux: first, i would wine app db at winehq.org, if it's not supported check cedega's db [01:23] lakitu: in case you decide to reset your gnome configuration, the command is 'gconftool --recursive-unset /' [01:23] Killer--Tux: use wine if it's supported, if not then you have to check cedega [01:23] vms supported by both but the only thing is that i have no sound with wine [01:23] Okay, let me rephrase it: the first mouse is normally /dev/psaux... even if is it USB, fsor... what is the 2nd mouse? [01:23] soundray, so e.g., i'd lose what.. theme - compiz configuration - what? what are some big things i'd lose -- i don't fully understand what gnome all encompasses [01:24] gleesond, echo "package_name hold" | sudo dpkg --set-selections [01:24] Hi all! I have a weird synaptics touchpad behaviour with Ubuntu Hardy. The right click button also activated vertical scroll (down). Is there a way to remap the right touchpad button? Ideas? :) [01:24] lakitu: essentially everything you set via System-Preferences (what you set through System-Administration will be preserved) [01:24] gleesond: good question, especially if holding back one package breaks dependencies for others.. [01:25] Killer--Tux: run winecfg then and play with the sound settings.. if they say in the appdb the sound works im sure you can get it working [01:25] Helminthe: I'm pretty sure screen is not a dependency for other pkgs [01:25] soundray, ok - good explanation. i can handle that. [01:25] nocive: do you happen to have an Acer Aspire One? [01:25] wesku_: still around? [01:25] Hi all! I have a weird synaptics touchpad behaviour with Ubuntu Hardy. The right click button also activates vertical scroll down and the left button activates vertical scroll up. Is there a way to remap the right touchpad button? Ideas? :) [01:25] MalfermitaKodo: LG X100 (netbook also) [01:26] vms i get audio test faild [01:26] hmmm.... [01:26] Helminthe, if a package is held - other packages that depend on it will be held back as well [01:26] MalfermitaKodo: is there a workaround for acer aspire one? maybe they have the same touchpads. [01:26] can someone help me (that is not idle) with ibex? [01:26] cool, it's back. [01:26] not really, my workaround is to use my external trackball [01:26] good work soundray [01:26] * lakitu busy preferring [01:26] !8.10 | chris__ [01:26] chris__: 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 [01:26] chris__: you need to ask in #ubuntu+1 [01:27] i did :( everyone is idle..... [01:27] lakitu: glad it worked [01:27] how can I directly link two ubuntu computers together via ethernet? [01:27] chris__: it's still offtopic here [01:27] Ubuntu+1? I'd expected ubuntu++ ;) [01:27] MalfermitaKodo: my solution is using the touchpad a standard mouse. I loose vertical scroll and all accidental taps are reported as clicks... [01:27] chris__: very short question? [01:27] i ssh to my ubuntu box alot, and theres like a 4 second pause between when i type my username and when it prompts for the password, anyone know how to remove that delay? [01:27] erisco, you'll need a special cross-over cable, if you have one, it's just a matter of assigning IP addresses to both machines. [01:28] I was hoping there could be some workaround or hack to remap the 2 click buttons.. :( [01:28] unop, a special cable? I just have a chunk of cat5 [01:28] isilion: you get it working? [01:28] unop: thanks, good to know. a suse-like "provides" without version info might have been useful too, for instances like me insisting on using firefox 1.5. don't ask why :) [01:28] yeah i cant enable my gfx because i can only load in safe gfx mode so it cant reconfigure my xorg config file... [01:28] nocive: well, I have issues with touchpads anyways... [01:28] d2tehp: no, but I would just use ssh keys and not be bothered with typing passwords [01:28] MalfermitaKodo: I don't like them either, but with a 10.6 " netbook it isn't very handy carrying an extra mouse around :X [01:29] chris__: I don't do restricted drivers sorry [01:29] hi guys, just updated ubuntu and it required a reset. Now grub is throwing an Error 18 after I select my kernel version. any ideas what happened? [01:29] erisco, a cross-over cable is a catX cable - just that it has a few wires crossed over on one end -- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethernet_crossover_cable [01:29] unop, can I use two chunks of cat5 and a hub? [01:29] hspaans, i don't care what it is as long as i can get something higher then 800x600 lol [01:29] unop, I have to work with what I have === tuna-fish is now known as tuna [01:29] erisco, sure - that's what a hub is for [01:30] chris__: try 'gksudo displayconfig-gtk' and select an appropriate display type under Model: [01:30] unop, okay thanks [01:30] I lost cupsd.conf from the cups package, how do I recover it? [01:30] Killer--Tux: can't help you with that, maybe some wine users here who can help [01:30] not the edited file, but the original [01:30] any ideas? [01:31] naknomik: 'sudo apt-get install --reinstall cupsys' should recover it [01:31] vms thanks [01:31] Can I ask a question? [01:31] Hello?

[01:32] Danskmand: quick pm? [01:33] Sure ! [01:33] I'm thinking my approach is fundamentally flawed. I have the Ubuntu Server Alt Disk and I'm trying to use it with Apache and Netboot to do a netboot install from a local mirror. Given the proper configuration, is that possible, or do I need another image/more packages? [01:33] WE'll do that ! [01:34] Okay, let me rephrase it: the first mouse is normally /dev/psaux... even if is it USB, fsor... what is the 2nd mouse, which device? [01:34] PXE boot goes fine and I get far enough to specify a mirror manually, but then I get "Bad archive mirror". My Apache server is rooted at "\mnt\ubuntu-8.04.1-server-i386\dists\hardy" which contains a Release file, Release.gpg file, and the folders main and restricted. [01:35] No suitable demux plugin.

[01:42] hmm, ok, so why won't grub throw an error when I use a previous kernel version? It's not like my hd changes sizes [01:42] Helminthe: I have no clue how the touchpad is connected, but it uses /dev/psaux, the trackball, I want to configure uses USB [01:43] WDC , ohh ok I get it now...

[02:23] i meant no, network, i want to exchange files between an ubuntu and a vista on the same network [02:23] Blue112: if You don't use -m then they can't log into a session [02:23] MTecknology: I've done sudo adduser newuser, isn't that good ? [02:23] NaRcZ, you are saying there is no network but both machines are on the same network? [02:23] Blue112: -m makes a home directory - the user can't log in without it [02:23] one more question: playback on youtube, ebaumsworld, snuffx, youporn (All video sites) is jerky, i have firefox 303 Ubuntu 8.04 and use the adobe flash plugin, the pc is 2x2GHz(Running at 50% apparently) 2Gb ram and 256Mb ati radeon graphic card. the video loads fast so that's not the problem, i have disabled the hardware acceleration also but no luck, anyone know what i can do to fix this ? === ziroday` is now known as ziroday [02:24] csilk: no network yet [02:24] MTecknology, youporn??? lol [02:24] MTecknology: It has a home directory, and I've logued with it. The issue is the same. [02:24] very simple problem, I am on a network with 2 cpus. One being vista the other ubuntu, I want to exchange .mp3's [02:24] bruenig: i don't know which sound system is being used [02:24] csilk: what? [02:24] Nothing............... [02:24] Helminthe: is it possible just to uncomment the part in my xorg.conf relating to the trackball? [02:24] Blue112: and no .xsession-errors ?? [02:24] MTecknology: The file exists, but contains no errors. [02:25] NaRcZ: Samba? Ftp? [02:25] Dreamglider, try flash player 10 seems to be fixing a lot of peoples problems its still beta but seems to perform better then 9 [02:25] i right clicked on folder and clicked share, installed samba, but vista can not find the folder [02:25] Blue112: 8.10 or 8.04 [02:25] MalfermitaKodo: of course [02:25] Ontolog: well nonetheless, sound is typically a kernel thing so [02:25] MTecknology: 8.04 :) [02:25] DigitalFiz: I think it is out of beta now [02:25] Dreamglider, its a real easy upgrad too its a simple file replace [02:26] BCM34, havent checked since i installed it maybe i should get the newest hehe [02:26] What more do you do, after right clicking on a folder, clicking share, installing samba...why is the folder on ubuntu not discoverable from a vista machine [02:26] Dreamglider, youporn, lol.... [02:26] Blue112: I'm not sure... [02:26] how can i mount and write to a removable fat32 disk [02:26] ? [02:26] Blue112: when did this happen? [02:26] i accidentally removed some video codecs somehow, and attempted to reinstall them, but now there is pixelation and banding. how can i reset it to ubuntu factory default video playback? [02:26] csilk: can't fault honesty ;) [02:27] hahah [02:27] MTecknology: Today >_< [02:27] in ubuntu 8.04 how can i make gdm not start at boot? [02:27] Helminthe: okay... expect X11 to go up in flames in 3 [02:27] I just discovered a strange bug -- I'm currently logged onto a remote computer (with my own account) through a remote X-session and when the *other* user inserted an audio CD, Rythymbox window popped up here... [02:27] Blue112: after any updates or anything? [02:27] Nobody has ever had the issue of network sharing an ubuntu with an xp family, etc. wow [02:27] MTecknology: About 4 hours ago. I've puted a livecd, and use it for fsck, but nothing. [02:27] NaRcZ did you install samba [02:27] d2tehp: remove the symlink to gdm in /etc/rc5d. [02:27] samba installed [02:28] errr [02:28] Blue112: did this happen after fsck or before? [02:28] /etc/rc5.d [02:28] NaRcZ both computers in same workgroup? can you see the ubuntu box? [02:28] MTecknology: I've removed pulseaudio, but I don't think it's linked. [02:28] no [02:28] how can i mount and write to a removable fat32 disk? [02:28] MTecknology: Before [02:28] d2tehp: ubuntu box? [02:28] can someone please help me put gnome video playback packages to ubuntu installation defaults? :< [02:28] csilk, youporn, redtube, snuffx, whatever site they are all jerky as in video is lagging :P [02:28] renegade420: not working defaultly? [02:28] Blue112: how long have it been running ok? [02:29] NaRcZ can you see the ubuntu machine from the vista machine? [02:29] !o4o | Dreamglider [02:29] Dreamglider: Some things are inappropriate for #ubuntu. Controversial topics, which often turn into flame wars: war, race, religion, politics, gender, sexuality, drugs, questionably legal activities, suicide are not for here. Microsoft software in ##windows (Please note Freenode Policy) [02:29] MTecknology: About 1 year >_< [02:29] sry [02:29] d2tehp: no thats the problem [02:29] MalfermitaKodo, nope ihave to mount manually [02:29] Dreamglider: say godtube ;) [02:29] plyahh ! [02:29] renegade420: this should be handled automagically by ubuntu. if not, mount -tvfat /dev/xxx somefolder -o rw,umask=0000 [02:29] Goodtube perhaps [02:30] what [02:30] NaRcZ edit your /etc/samba/smb.conf and make sure you are in the same workgroup, there may be a gui way to do this, i always use command line [02:30] d2tehp: ok im gonna check it [02:30] Blue112: So it was running fine for a year. You didn't do any updates. You haven't altered anything other than removing pulseaudio. And it just happened after turning on your computer a few hours ago. ?? [02:30] surely this is an easy problem? setting some packages back to installation defaults? [02:31] also see if you can get to the ubuntu machine by ip, on vista hold the windows key and hit r then type \\ip.of.ubuntu.box\ [02:31] is anyone familiar with rsnapshot? i want to set it up.. but the server im wanting to set it up on, I can't modify anything in the /etc dir. Is it possible to put the conifg file in another folder and run it? [02:31] MTecknology: I've done the ubuntu's security upgrade, as usual. But that's it, i really don't know why that happens >_< maybe a broken file. [02:32] Blue112: can you do sudo aptitude update && sudo aptitude full-upgrade [02:32] BCM34, your right its out of beta now [02:32] MTecknology: Ok. [02:32] <{alejandro}> hey I did the latest upgrades for today and restarted my computer and now my sound card isn't reading [02:33] MTecknology: It says that it has nothing to do (with full-upgrade) [02:33] Blue112: You're using aptitude, not full-upgrade, right? [02:33] MTecknology: ? [02:33] does anyone know if gimmie is still being developed or if it's died? [02:33] I can see the upgrades available right now because vmware is messing with me [02:34] Usually I use apt-get >_< [02:34] Blue112: do exactly what I wrote above [02:34] !convert [02:34] Sorry, I don't know anything about convert [02:34] !debian [02:34] 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! [02:34] easy way to convert debian 4.0 to Ubunbu? [02:34] <{alejandro}> What should my first step be if my sound card just stopped working? [02:35] MTecknology: That's what I've done. sudo aptitude update give me a lot a lines, but no errors. sudo aptitude full-upgrade gives me also a lot of line, which says that it has nothing to do >_< [02:35] Bhavesh: do you have your /home on a separate partition? [02:35] how do i drag a window from monitor to TV using separate X screen? [02:35] {alejandro}: dmesg |tail [02:35] MTecknology: yes.. actually i just installed debian 4.0 3 hrs a go [02:35] can someone please help me put gnome video playback packages to ubuntu installation defaults? mine is broken somehow. pixellated, colour banding. :< === ERROR_SUCCESS is now known as less_annoying [02:35] I added an ext3 partition to my disc, I can't get it to automount when I reboot. It is my new /home [02:35] Helminthe: Thanks! it works now! [02:36] Blue112: what happens if you try to reinstall pulseaudio [02:36] <{alejandro}> MalfermitaKodo I don't see any info on sound... [02:36] Blue112: I have one more idea after that, but you won't completely like it [02:36] <{alejandro}> hm without tail... [02:36] demism: did you edit /etc/fstab with new information? [02:36] MTecknology: Hum, I really don't think it's linked, but I'm trying... [02:36] Blue112: I wouldn't think so - but perhaps.... [02:36] so frustrating [02:36] Bhavesh: yes I copied the parameters of my / directory and just added auto to it [02:36] MTecknology: Ok, I have an error message when I start gnome \o/ [02:37] demism: you may also need to change the file system type from ext2 or whatever it was before to ext3 [02:37] Blue112: what exactly does it say? [02:37] Bhavesh: I just added auto though, before it didn't work without it [02:37] MTecknology: Its says that there is an error while trying to load gnome pref daemon (approximative traduction, it's in french...) [02:37] MTecknology: "did not receive a reply..." [02:38] best way to convert is just to reinstall/install ubuntu? [02:38] Bhavesh: if you have /home on a different partition, then install ubuntu normally, point /home at the partition, and don't format it [02:38] MTecknology: but no easy way to convert a fresh install of Debian to ubuntu? [02:38] Bhavesh: no - they're different distros ;) [02:39] MTecknology: darn i was hoping i can just update sources.list and go from there :) [02:39] Is there a gui app that helps me reconfigure my fstab? [02:39] Bhavesh: chroot [02:39] chaddy: what about chroot? [02:39] demism: no [02:39] depending what you want to do in ubuntu chroot might be enough, Bhavesh [02:40] chaddy: convert my exciting debian distro into ubuntu [02:40] existing* [02:40] Blue112: If it's an issue with an installed application, you could try making a backup of installed apps, reinstall ubuntu, make sure to leave /home unformatted. Hopefully you always keep it on its own partition [02:40] seperate /home partition and reinstall for that [02:40] <{alejandro}> MalfermitaKodo I think this may indicate the problem - my kernel might be bad (I just updated it today) http://paste.ubuntu.com/59533/ [02:41] what is this new uuid format, and how can I find ti for one of my partitions? [02:41] <{alejandro}> oh wait they left [02:41] got to see which version of desktop cd i have [02:41] got ubuntu desktop 8.04 CD will that work? [02:41] demism: ls /dev/disk/by-uuid/ -ah [02:41] Blue112: I'm sure there's a way to fix what happened, but if I were you, that would probably be the fastest/easiest way to get things working again [02:41] Bhavesh: yup [02:41] !uuid | demism [02:41] demism: To see a list of your devices/partitions and their corresponding UUID's, run this command in a !shell: « sudo blkid » (see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LibAtaForAtaDisks for the rationale behind the transition to UUID) [02:42] MTecknology: I have only one partition... And I can't reinstall ubuntu, there are dell drivers on it, they will gone if I format :/ And, even if I reinstall, the 8.10 is coming soon... so install the 8.04 isn't a loose of time ? [02:42] s/-ah/-lah/ [02:42] does ubuntu 8.04 or 8.10 have KDE 4? [02:43] Blue112: If you have drivers that are only available for dell, there's a chance they will work in Ubuntu - but you can't directly convert from one distro to another [02:43] Bhavesh: Kubuntu 8.10 will have KDE4 [02:43] <{alejandro}> I just updated to kernel version 2.6.24 - could that be the problem [02:43] <{alejandro}> ah wait here it is [02:43] <{alejandro}> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-ubuntu-modules-2.6.24/+bug/211644 [02:44] MTecknology: I've buy this laptop with ubuntu. So everthing were on it >_< I rather fix it than reinstall :/ [02:44] whats the ubuntu random chat channel? [02:44] MTecknology: one last question.. easy to update 8.04 -> 8.10? [02:44] Bhavesh: sudo update-manager -d [02:44] Bhavesh: incredibly easy [02:45] MTecknology, is there an actual release date for 8.10 yet? [02:45] Blue112: I'm not sure what else to tell you :( [02:45] :( [02:45] MTecknology: thank you.. be back in a bit with Ubuntu running :) [02:45] DigitalFiz: has been for a while [02:45] !intrepid [02:45] 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 [02:45] and i promise i will help others :) [02:45] MTecknology: Can't I do something with the gnome settings daemon ? [02:45] ah [02:45] getting close :D [02:45] Blue112: if you used aptitude you could look back and uninstall the updates you installed to see if that helps [02:46] Blue112: You could try to reinstall it [02:46] MTecknology: How ? [02:46] (reinstall it) [02:46] Blue112: hrm.... aptitude install xubuntu-desktop [02:46] try that [02:46] xubuntu O_o ? [02:46] it won't use gnome-settings-daemon [02:47] and it's light weight [02:47] anyone in here use JanusVM, I2P, GNUnet, Freenet? [02:47] But I like gnome :( [02:47] Blue112: just to try [02:47] Mokay [02:47] Blue112: you can remove it later ;) [02:48] MTecknology: It's installing...

Just finished reading the man page entries... That will be bi-directional though? I feel like it only modifies the target [02:50] keystr0k: Make it twice \o/ [02:50] keystr0k: ya - that's target only... leave out --delete to make it sync both ways [02:51] wait.. no [02:51] MTecknology, if a file exists in the target, I want it to be copied to the source... [02:51] rsync -ru remote-ip:/path/to/source /path/to/dest === qwerfd is now known as keram [02:53] keystr0k: you can make a script that does two different rsync commands, one to local, one to remote [02:53] Blue112: how's it working?

[02:57] blue112: I need to go - I'll try to be back later - but at minimum, you could start a launchpad query or update to 8.10 when it comes out [02:57] blue112: that works too [02:57] gtg [02:57] MTecknology: Thanks for help !

[02:59] cs_student: what do you mean? [02:59] cs_student: you might want to install compizconfig-settings-manager [02:59] ie window themes and stuff (last time I used ubuntu I thought it had a theme manager as well) [03:00] emerald themes are a bit harder to get, I think [03:00] I had to get a feisty repo last I used them [03:00] gnome-look.org or something [03:00] cs_student, go to system, preferences, appearance....i believe it is...sorry...im in Kubuntu ATM...not much help. [03:00] Robb_M, yea, I just switched over from debian-kde today [03:00] I accidently my ubuntu. [03:01] very good, Loiterer [03:01] why would you do that cs_student ? :/ [03:01] we've had this before, haven't we, Loiterer? [03:01] I switched to Windows. [03:01] Good or bad?

(I want to get windowless to work in flash 10) [03:04] iceweasel is a good browser [03:05] i'm looking for backup/sync my computers through FTP, SHH, services or others? does anyone knew a good software/solution to do it on ubuntu pls? [03:05] danbh_intrepid, well, I'm not really. I just wanted to do a system update, and found nothing dependent on python2.4 (which is practically everything) will not update. [03:05] had anyone tried apache+mono to run asp.net? i have apache mono xsp modmono installed, but it just cant run aspx files [03:05] files crypted would be a great + [03:05] DigitalKiwi, it is firefox [03:05] I'm having a problem setting my wep key for a connection :< [03:05] Dream, write a bash script and set it as cron job easy [03:06] Whenever I attempt to set a wep key I get the following: SET failed on device wlan0 ; Operation not supported.

I'm using uvcvideo module, and after some time I can get some video using luvcview software, but it's not working on cheese or skype... any ideas? [03:07] Dream, sync is kinda wast of time [03:07] danbh_intrepid, I meant nothing WILL update. Due to dependencies. So I thought about uninstalling pyton2.4 and reinstalling, but that would require removing about 130 programs along with it. [03:07] davidf: try this: sudo apt-get --purge remove python2.4 python2.4-minimal python2.4-dev python2.4-gdbm python2.4-tk [03:07] xiamx: it could be not as simple as write few lines of bash code i think so :p [03:07] wait [03:07] ...hi...

WEP is very very unsafe [03:12] alph4__, wep is hardly worth the effort.. but you'd probably have the same issues with wpa.. try wicd or wifi radar to do wireless.

The command doesn't work. Same thing. Can't remove it, can't upgrade it. ARGHH! [03:20] I want to put a mysql jdbc jar file into my packages root folder [03:20] this annoying thing that makes it difficult to have two applications use the audio interface..

[03:21] I've already looked on the forums, left a request there, have yet to get an answer. Just wondering how exactly you get the Kildclient spelling setup. I got the libraries I was made aware of needing installed already. [03:21] sure scunizi [03:22] anyone have a gui ftp client they'd like to suggest? [03:22] dime: gftp [03:22] dime, gnome has built-in support for it, you know? [03:22] I hate having to ask such a simple question. That's the only thing that bugs me about Kildclient. No idea how to setup the spellcheck. [03:22] dime, places > connect to.. > ftp [03:23] well [03:23] Goan, you may find some tips here.. sorry I don't know more about java locations.. however if this is for a web server it may also be under /var/www someplace.. http://radio.javaranch.com/balajidl/2006/03/08/1141811168533.html [03:23] i'm trying out gftp now [03:23] and i must say.. it's a piece of shit [03:23] dime, then make it better... [03:23] !language | dime [03:23] dime: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [03:24] first thing was when i tried to download a dir, it created a dir that was d--------- so i had to go and chmod it [03:24] Only reason it's lacking is there's not always viable support or interest in such programs. Only way to make it better is just that. [03:24] ronzilla [03:25] ronzilla, [03:25] then, the 2nd thing was even more odd [03:25] Hi guys. I ran into a problem today and couldn't decide whether or not it's worth reporting as a bug so close to the next release which might well not have the bug. [03:25] i was able to download some files in the directory, but not others [03:25] !remotedesktop [03:25] Sorry, I don't know anything about remotedesktop [03:25] !remote desktop [03:25] Sorry, I don't know anything about remote desktop [03:25] http://pastebin.com/d6063bf12 [03:25] !rdc [03:25] Sorry, I don't know anything about rdc [03:25] i pasted the log there [03:25] Been having problems installing Flash for Firefox.. non of the apt0get's don't work.

[03:26] anybody know why my DVD icon won't disappear after I unmount it? [03:26] Goan, np. I hope it helps [03:26] i have no idea why it can download 1 file but nothe the other? [03:26] better yet, how do I enable the Multiverse repository? [03:26] i have a windows nas share on my network -- i was just transfering some files and now i can't get to the mount -- i get 'host not available' my terminal window is SUPER slow (like 5 minutes for an ls) what is going on here, can i do anything? [03:26] again dime, you using gui or terminal? [03:26] gui gftp [03:26] chadder:software sources [03:27] and i am on a pretty fast computer (brand new) [03:27] The kernel update that I got through update manager very recently... Is this the new kernel that will be used in Intrepid? [03:28] ghone_:which kernel is it? [03:28] is there any fix for 'host is down' [03:28] Anyone know why YouTube videos wouldn't show up on an updated install of Hardy? [03:28] it's not just the log file i downloaded [03:28] i downloaded a .log, .m3u, several .jpg's, some .txt files and a .cue file all from that same directory [03:28] thiebaude: I don't have software sources, Under System > Administration ?

[03:30] new to linux and really want to make this work [03:30] Ghone:I'am using the latest kernel on 8.10, 2.6.27-7 generic [03:30] chadder:can you add it [03:31] Is 2.6.27 the kernel used in Intrepid? [03:32] so.. no one has any suggestions for a gui ftp client? i mean, gftp looks ok, but i don't really feel like continuing to use it when i seem to encounter 2 pretty obvious bugs the first time i use it to do the simple task of downloading something [03:33] chadder:if you don't have it you would have to edit the menu then add it [03:34] dime: how about filezilla? [03:34] hrmm.. yeah.. will try that.. i've used filezilla on windows before so presuming it works, it'll be a friendly and familiar face.. [03:34] thanks === ggeecko_ is now known as ggeecko [03:36] dime, I usually use ncftp, tho it's a command line util - if I really have to use a GUI client, it's nautilus [03:36] dime: i've had no issues with it (hardy heron) [03:36] oola [03:36] somebody brazil people [03:36] dandrummer: #ubuntu-br [03:36] !pt [03:36] Por favor use #ubuntu-br ou #ubuntu-pt para ajuda em português.

[03:37] droopsta915, do you install codecs manually?? [03:37] unop: yes [03:37] unop, i use cli when it suits me too, but there's just stuff that i insist on gui for.. directories with spaces or ()'s come to mind [03:38] or ascii in the filenames [03:38] droopsta915, that's a bit harsh on yourself - but sure, there are plenty of ways to !backup [03:38] dime, if you quote filenames properly - you shouldn't have an issue [03:39] !eeepc [03:39] Information about installing Ubuntu on an Asus EeePC can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EeePC [03:39] Asus has video card drivers for the integrated video for linux called ati_drv.o and radeon_drv.o and I'm supposed to replace the ones in the system with those but I can only find ati_drv.so and radeon_drv.so. What's the difference and should I rename the .o to .so? [03:40] unop: how do u install all the codecs needed? sounds like im working to hard, lol. [03:40] except when i'm downloading 300 gigs of music files, i don't want to have to type or quote any filenames [03:41] Was wondering if someone could help me with a Distribution Upgrade problem? [03:41] how do i get compiz-settings? [03:41] whats a good backup app? [03:41] droopsta915, I generally use the w32codecs package from medibuntu - it has a majority of the popular codecs (if not all of them) -- on systems where w32codecs is not available I use the mplayer codec pack (which essentially has the same codecs) [03:42] droopsta915, http://www.mplayerhq.hu/MPlayer/releases/codecs/ [03:42] unop: can i find that in my applications? [03:42] Was wondering if someone could help me with a Distribution Upgrade problem? [03:42] anyone know how to get compiz-settings?

(linux-headers-2.6.27.4-generic and linux-headers-2.6.27.4) It has sat on removing linux-headers-2.6.27.4 for about 2 hours, and has not done anything. What should I do?

[03:55] you've got to be kidding me [03:55] so i found out what was wrong [03:55] I still have the same question. Of how one sets up the kildclient's spellcheck. I already put a forum post in, a while ago, and it's yet to be answered. Just wondering what can be done to set up the spell checking for Kildclient, already have the spelling libraries installed. [03:55] any one here help me set up a proxy [03:55] and why i couldn't download those files from filezilla or gftp [03:55] !cruft [03:55] Sorry, I don't know anything about cruft [03:55] can anyone point me to a channel where I can get assistance for me to add a layout to X?

[03:58] Ok, so you're trying to SSH tunnel to your home PC? [03:58] From work? [03:58] yep [03:58] not to proxy the tracker [03:58] I have a bluetooth headset and bluetooth dongle, I got the two to pair using whatever the default tool is (I just plugged in the dongle and the icon showed up on my bar).

[04:14] dr_willis, i used gentoo for three years [04:14] nowimproved, I would suggest booting a live cd, and fscking the filesystems for a start to verify they are not currupted. [04:14] nah, i had them working with openSUSE but i switched over [04:14] nowimproved: I ended up having to delete: ~/.mozilla, and starting over with it. [04:15] cjs sudo dpkg -i skype.deb [04:15] nowimproved, - i would also suggest making a NEW user and see if everything works with them with default settings. [04:15] CapTech, yah i did that it seems anything that has to do with gnome is messed up [04:15] dr_willis, alright [04:15] ronzilla_: can you use a pastebin service and let me know what is in /var/log/Xorg.0.log? [04:15] nowimproved, if you are lucky its just some gnome setting confusions. (had that happenbefor) [04:15] nowimproved: I agree with dr_willis. [04:15] CapTech, nope. "Couldn't find package skype."

So it needs libqt4gui, but "apt-get install libqt4-gui" doesn't automatically bring in the dependencies. I need an option or something? [04:16] nowimproved: Nothing. It should work in any desktop. Sounds like you have a hosed install. [04:16] Captech, but everything seems to work besides gnome stuff and I can't get into the gnome desktop...so I'm assuming its a gnome problem [04:17] yoyoned, No, I'm Curt. From Tokyo. [04:17] CapTech, lol, seriously I can look at my last 10 commands, I rebooted the computer and this started happened, maybe their is corruption [04:17] hi there [04:17] But I doubt it, I thought that a million times on gentoo [04:18] nowimproved: What were you doing before you rebooted? [04:18] angus, is there a section of the log file you need? [04:18] nowimproved: I also noticed a package addon I did changed the default kernel from generic to server, which caused me a ton of problems. You might want to check that too.

That's pretty much what I've experienced. [04:26] hello [04:26] hml, are you thinking of installing for the first time? or upgrading? [04:26] hml: I already like 8.10 better than 8.04, although it's only in beta. PulseAudio works much better. [04:27] hml, proberly.. If you got a fast connection and dont mind updates every day.. go with 8.10 - [04:27] eitreach:I agree [04:27] ajhtiredwolf: try http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&ct=res&cd=2&url=http%3A%2F%2Fubuntuforums.org%2Fshowthread.php%3Ft%3D40543&ei=1Kj6SLzKNpDs1gbv4qgi&usg=AFQjCNFgZ9qhbx85JTVNWXQ5KYgp6um0Nw&sig2=BqqvpQ77RpMT2jMKB48EeA [04:27] hml, seems im getting 200+mb of updates every day for the last 2 days.

[04:30] eitreach : : I heard, but I wasn't sure if it was included in the kernel yet [04:31] Oops meant scunizi [04:31] MisterTaco, you may be talking about two different things .. in vmware you have to install vmware tools to get better mouse/keyboard support.

So sound playback works (simultaneously through the speakers plugged into the back output and the headphones plugged into the front output), but recording (through a mic plugged into the front input on my case) doesn't work. thoughts? [04:33] RoadHazard: welcomie :) [04:34] (Yes, I checked the mic. switch.) [04:34] ugh, anyone know if 8.10 is going to fix some of the sound issues with the Intel HDA chip? [04:34] Does anyone know how to fix a problem I have? Ubuntu isn't booting, it keeps on saying the hard drive corrupted [04:34] does the mic work plugged in the back of the machine? [04:34] Dalem50: do you have a live CD? [04:34] How do I even test the mic? The "Sound capture" section of "Sound Preferences" seems, odd... [04:35] is there anyway to control a laptops fan with ubuntu? it runs all the time now, much louder than vista. [04:35] jonaskoelker:Not with me, no, but I do have a USB flash drive with Ubuntu what's bootable [04:35] CineScope, yes sure what kind of cpu u have? === steve_ is now known as smil3y [04:35] Dalem50: so you have a LiveStick? ;) [04:35] CineScope, can you post the contents of cat /proc/cpuinfo command? [04:35] I'm not sure about the rest of you all, but I had nothing but problems on 8.04 with Pulse, I switched to OSS mode, and it works perfect. [04:36] cjs: might try installing audacity and trying a mic recording [04:36] intel p8600 [04:36] jonaskoelker: I guess you could call it that. What I need to do is try to fix the partition because it won't boot. Vista on the other-hand works still. [04:36] CapTech, havent had any sound issues at all.. But i hear it can depend on your sound card a great deal [04:36] CineScope, right can open terminal and type sudo modprobe p4-clockmod [04:36] CineScope, what does it say? [04:37] Yeah, I have the nvidia board with the built in sound... I need to get a sound card, just too cheap to do it. [04:37] LOL. [04:37] how can I delete an user and leave only mine working? [04:37] okay guys. im trying to install xubuntu and the when i get to the formatting part it freezes. i know its not an "ubuntu specific" question but i figured it'd be close [04:37] any ideas? [04:38] sudo modprobe p4-clockmod [04:38] * CapTech runs xubuntu. [04:38] Dalem50: what do you know works / is correctly structured? The partition? The file system(s)? The boot sector? [04:38] FATAL: Module p4_clockmod not found. [04:38] newguy: What are you trying to format it as? [04:38] if anyone needs me to elaborate i can [04:38] newguy: Please do. [04:38] newguy:how much memory does your computer have? [04:38] jonaskoelker: GRUB is working, but when I select Ubuntu, it loads, except it has a kernel panic when it's running bottom [04:39] CineScope, right how about sudo modprobe speedstep-centrino [04:39] anza: deluser username [04:39] jonaskoelker: Everything else is perfectly intact. That's why it's possible that I'm running Vista right now, on the same exact computer. [04:39] anza err, sudo deluser username [04:39] FATAL: Module speedstep_centrino not found. [04:39] RoadHazard, actually, I just tried it with the built-in Sound Recorder application, and it didn't work; will Audacity make a difference? [04:40] Dalem50: "That's why it's possible that I'm running Vista" --- it could be that the file system that houses your linux install was corrupted, which wouldn't affect Vista [04:40] Question: Wanna replace a Windows Server with a Linux dist. I actually only run Win for the Microsoft SQL Server which is needed for the one app we use on same server. But can I run Microsoft SQL Server in a Linux dist? Want to get away from the costly Win license.. [04:40] newguy:are you dual-booting? [04:40] cjs: did you try in the back of the machine? [04:40] Dalem50: what's the kernel panic message? [04:40] RoadHazard, yes, same result. [04:40] cjs, are you running Hardy? if so open a terminal and type .. killall pulseaudio .. then try again to record [04:41] cjs: but it is making sound, sounds like the mic is muted in software somewhere [04:41] jonaskoelker: I don't remember exactly, except all I know is that it doesn't boot. Do you think I should run fsck from my "LiveStick"? [04:41] CineScope, hm thats weird [04:41] maskros: I'd think SQL Server is quite tied to Windows features (in such a way that wouldn't run on Wine) [04:41] RoadHazard, I did it, and it says in the terminal its done, but the folder is still there [04:41] maskros, No, you cannot run SQL server on Linux. I know a lot about this sort of database stuff, though; /m me or let's find a channel where it wont' be off topic if you want to chat about it. [04:41] usser: according to powertop it is running at 800Mhz 98.5% of the time but the fan is still running [04:41] I did find it off on the mixer a while back, but that's now fixed. [04:41] anza: sudo rm -R /home/username [04:41] I've got line-in and mic-in both full up and unmuted. [04:42] is there a standard ubuntu opengl packacge? [04:42] *package [04:42] Dalem50: I don't think there are any indicators for fsck. Could you run Linux and post the panic message in a pastebin? [04:43] csilk, you mean an opengl video driver.. generic? [04:43] jonaskoelker: Allright, I guess I could do that. Let me check with other people to see what else I can doo. [04:43] RoadHazard, lovely! its gone... Thank you. Do you know about a very good guide to install Age of empires III on ubuntu? I tried once but it didnt work, so I am dling a new torrent with the game and plan to try again [04:43] CineScope, thats weird so it does scale? can u double check that by adding a cpu scaling applet to your panel and see if it lists different available frequencies [04:43] anza: www.winehq.org [04:43] RoadHazard: Or I'm recording from something other than the mic. I've tried the various other inputs also available in Sound Recorder. [04:43] scunizi, configure: error: this package requires OpenGL library [04:43] how to get the bluetooth information? I can just use hcitool dev to get little information of my bluetooth [04:44] Anza: buy the thing === ensarman is now known as delfomaru [04:44] csilk, what kind of video card do you have? [04:44] Dalem50: how many options does grub give you? Do they all panic? [04:44] usser, yep running at 800 [04:44] Dalem50: it may be useful for those helping you to see your grub config files [04:44] jonaskoelker: Correct, they all panic [04:44] scunizi, yeah i was hoping it wouldnt be video card specific, that pretty much makes it impossible to package this software [04:44] PovAddict, Thanks for the advise [04:45] Well, I give up; I'll get my sysadmin to look at it another day. *Sigh*. [04:45] csilk, so what kind of card? [04:45] CineScope, when u click on it does it list other available frequencies [04:45] Anza: check Wine appdb [04:45] jonaskoelker: I'm pretty sure it's not the grub configuration files, I think it's the partition and it has bad blocks for some unknown reason. [04:45] how do i remove firefox completely, as if it was never on here? [04:45] Anza: it lists reports by user saying if apps work or not [04:45] I have no sound, not since I reinstalled with hardy, any ideas, I tried sudo alsa force-reload but didn't seem to help. [04:45] Dalem50: have you shuffled any of the disks around [i.e. moved the IDE cables between them, added some or remove some]? [04:45] scunizi, i have radeon 2400 hd [04:45] Dalem50: why do you think it's bad blocks? [04:46] usser, yes - 800, 1600, 2400 [04:46] how do i remove firefox completely, as if it was never on here? [04:46] shoryuken, remove the package with the purge option.. but that will NOT remove the users settings for firefox. [04:46] dr_willis: how do i purge? [04:46] Would anyone be able to help me get Counter Strike: Source sound working in Intrepid Ibex? [04:46] usser, switched it to performance and shot to 2400 but the fan speed stayed the same [04:46] jonaskoelker: I remember running fsck earlier before this. There were some errors, and I hit y. No, I had not moved the hard drive around, or that would have affected Vista as well. [04:46] shoryuken: Do you also use Thunderbird? [04:47] CapTech: no [04:47] shoryuken, the pakage manger has buttons/options for it i think.. or sudo apt-get remove --purge Packagename [04:47] shoryuken: Try: sudo apt-get purge firefox && rm -Rf ~/.firefox ~/.mozilla [04:47] for i in /home/*; do rm -R $i/.mozilla; done [04:47] Anza: http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=3795 [04:47] !rm [04:47] The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful.

[04:47] Relegated: check if it works on www.winehq.org in the appdb section [04:47] usser, just wasn't sure if there was anyway to say don't run the fan so much [04:47] CineScope, hm that is really strange. do you have all acpi modules installed sudo apt-get install acpi acpid acpi-support [04:47] jonaskoelker: Yes, fsck did. [04:47] removing the users settings for 'firefox' is a bit of a different problem :) [04:47] csilk, kinda sounds like you're compiling a program.. which I don't do yet.. however the packages from a correctly installed driver for your radeon might allow you to do what you need.. unfortunatly I'm running nvidia and not well versed in ATI.. [04:48] CapTech, sorry i got sidetracked im at a wedding. it freezes before openening partition manager and same with gparted. it says its in read only mode [04:48] Dalem50: Do you remember what?

[04:48] usser, all three are installed.

[04:54] Dalem50: there's an ext2 driver for windows. You can use that to recover the files. Or you can boot your LiveStick and access the file system. [04:54] ronzilla: first try wine - then go with virtualbox [04:54] alright, I'll try [04:54] shishio: nice is what sets process priority [04:54] Dalem50: that is, if you can mount the file system.

[04:55] jonaskoelker: Thanks, I'll look into it [04:55] CapTech, yeah [04:55] nathan: ok how to set up the nice? [04:55] Can anyone help me installing ATI drivers? I have tried, and tried... [04:55] newguy: Do you have a regular Ubuntu install disk? [04:55] BlackGA: Tried envy? [04:56] see what i would like to run is a program that requires SYbase and MS SQL server [04:56] CapTech, just the live cd one. think thats the issue? [04:56] hi all [04:56] Dalem50: yw [04:56] can wine do that? [04:56] BlackGA, [04:56] Roadhazard so you can see my confusion. I was thinking it might be an xserver issue. [04:56] newguy: As far as I'm aware, the live CD's are install CDs. [04:56] BlackGA, i run ati, what card you got? [04:56] Yeah. When I used Envy, it gave a blank screen on reboot, and could not access anything. [04:56] ronzilla: search the appdb to see if those programs are supported [04:56] I have an older 9200SE. [04:56] Omoikane: yes I see, this is local xserver or remote? [04:56] ronzilla: I quite doubt it :) [04:57] roadhazard local. [04:57] BlackGA, I'm assuming ubuntu didnt find the driver for you then? [04:57] yeah its an inhouse application (Thomson ONE) and (baseline) [04:57] CapTech, yeah i meant the "alternative" disk [04:57] I don't think so, how would I be able to find out if it did? [04:57] newguy: I'd recommend trying to install Ubuntu, and if it installs successfully, installing xubuntu-desktop === Awang is now known as naruto [04:58] BlackGA, ahh, it appears the driver i was going to link you to only supports as far back as the radeon 9500 [04:58] sorry [04:58] maybe the best thing to do is just set up a seperate box for it lol [04:58] nathan : ok, how will i set up a nice value on a program run by wine? [04:58] and remote in [04:58] anyone know how will i set up a nice value on a program run by wine? [04:59] shishio: nice wine program.exe [04:59] im having an issue with one of my HDDs automounting with ntfs configuration tool. when i open ntfs configuration tool and check the hdd i get an error message saying http://www.imagebam.com/image/ccfd1c16147666 "An error occured when trying to configure /media/298GB Music, please retry. Thanks [04:59] PovAddict: no sudo? [04:59] just exactly how accurate is Ubuntu's laptop battery power meter? it says i've got an hour and 40 minutes of charge on this battery [04:59] why would you want to run it as root? [04:59] lancerocke: Are you using ntfs-3g? [04:59] CapTech, so theres no way to get it to work? [04:59] i could easily get 2+ hours out of this on windows === Awang is now known as naruto [05:00] CapTech: yes [05:00] newguy: Without being able to see exactly what it's doing, I'm not sure what to advise you. [05:00] I found xorg-driver-fglrx, and installed it, but I can't get aticonfig to run. [05:00] PovAddict: justin case [05:00] I'm using a Dell laptop with volume control but the volume buttons don't work in Gnome. They don't change the volume even though it shows that the volume is up or down. [05:00] ... [05:00] BlackGA, that dirver doesnt support anything before the 9500 [05:00] jonaskoelker: Aw, thanks, it's working! I installed ext2IFS, it works fine :D [05:00] "just in case" you run it with full privileges over your computer? [05:00] ok im trying to get root access to a file and it says that i can't since im the owner, i tried sudo chmod 777 and no luck, now what? [05:01] CapTech, when its detecting filesystem it just stays thinking. doesnt setect any hdd [05:01] brando sudo chown root /path [05:01] Ron: I just wanna run an application that requires MSSQL.. Let us hope there's a way to do it without the need for Windows as it is what I wanna get out from.. [05:01] ty [05:01] I removed kde from my package manager but now my Ubuntu update manager wants me to install 200+ kde related packages [05:01] This is taken from the Synaptic Package Manager... This version of the ATI driver officially supports: [05:01] * RADEON X1300, X1600, X1800, X1900 [05:01] * RADEON 8500, 9000, 9100, 9200, 9500, 9550, 9600, 9700, 9800 [05:01] I'm not saying your wrong, but are you sure this doesn't??? [05:01] BlackGA: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [05:01] Any idea how I can prevent this? I use Gnome [05:01] shishio: have you tried RTFM? [05:01] maskros: Microsoft lock-in doing its job [05:01] newguy: Unfortunately, I've not seen that error before. You might try googling the exact error message. [05:02] PovAddict: ya === Andrijeski is now known as andrijeski [05:02] is virtualbox only going to utilize one CPU in a duo core? [05:02] lancerocke: When you first installed it, what permissions did you give your NTFS volumes? [05:02] nathan: hmmm nope [05:02] BlackGA, http://packages.ubuntu.com/hardy/xorg-driver-fglrx [05:02] ok what is the exact syntax for the file path b/c it keeps saying cannot find [05:02] CapTech, thats the problem there is no error. it just sops working [05:02] !RTFM [05:02] Acronyms or statements like noob, jfgi, stfu, or rtfm are not welcome in this channel. Period. [05:02] ronzilla, virtualbox with linux hers. shows a dualcore cpu [05:02] Dalem50: cool :) [05:02] i put "sudo chown root /var/lib/samba/usershare [05:02] lol [05:02] PovAddict: cozim having trouble with some programs in wine end up crashing [05:03] newguy: As in complete freeze, or can you still CTRL - C out? [05:03] noob is an acronym? [05:03] how do I delete files from the trash that couldnt be deleted normally? I mean, I click on: "empty deleted items" but doesnt work [05:03] brando1: yes [05:03] Acronyms or statements [05:03] i can still ctrl- c out [05:03] so that should work? [05:03] ah [05:03] Dalem50: I think it's best if you only read from the fs, not write, since ext2ifs probably doesn't know about the ext3 features... but that's your plan anyways, right? [05:03] skim reading [05:03] Anza be as root with sudo then delete the files you wanted [05:03] CapTech: i didnt touch them. i didnt give tthem any permissions manually. i installed ntfs-3g and it took care of automounting them. i can mount the one that is having the ntfs-3g issue when i click on it in nautilus. when i mounted it the very first time i had to put my admin password in [05:04] jonaskoelker: Erm, sort've, just copy some important stuff. The main goal was to get it to boot though xD [05:04] brando1: then sudo chmod 777 /path [05:04] lancerocke: Odd. [05:04] of course :) [05:04] I'am trying to learn how to use the "Terminal" and ran following command - " sudo apt-get install astronomical-almanac " - So I do not really want this installed - What command would I use to " Uninstall " this ? ? ? [05:04] then sudo chown username /path [05:04] n8tuser, sudo nautilus? [05:04] oh wow [05:04] this is niiiiiiiice [05:04] ok i figured it out thanks all [05:04] brb reboot [05:04] newguy: Hmmm. I'm not sure what to suggest. [05:05] newlife, sudo apt-get purge astroxxxxxxxx [05:05] CapTech: http://www.imagebam.com/image/6e50f116147805 [05:05] jonaskoelker: Great, some files aren't opening, at least I got what I needed onto my Vista partiton :-/ [05:05] scunizi: Thank you - off I go ....... [05:05] lancerocke: Ewww, tiny drives. LOL. [05:06] hm... [05:06] interesting [05:06] damn, ok i got root and then i went to share again and i got this error... "net usershare' returned error 255: net usershare add: cannot convert name "Everyone" to a SID. The connection was refused. Maybe smbd is not running." [05:06] lancerocke: I'm not seeing anything there that suggests an error. What am I looking for on that screenshot? [05:06] newlife, also you can always "man " like man apt-get [05:06] it says the folder cannot be displayed when using sudo nautilus [05:06] Hi guys! Got a very urgent question to ask..Please help me..Iv installed PCSX2 in ubuntu..Iv configured it as well..But when a insert a dvd..and click on run cd, nothing happens..am i missing something?? Please help me guys.. [05:07] Anza, you should use gksudo nautilus.. [05:07] CapTech: just the fact that i have 2 ntfs volumes named 298GB Music that were named that way via Winblows. [05:07] CapTech: may tha tbe the issue? [05:07] Anza: and also, directly address the person you're talking to [05:07] Oni_of_z_AsH, best thing to do would be to find the pcsx2 web site and see what docs/guides they got. YOu may need to enable some plugin, or set the settings to find the cd [05:07] lancerocke: Shoulding be. Ubuntu uses the UUID. [05:07] lancerocke: Those are unique. [05:07] Captech: linux gave one of them an underscore. 298GB Music_ and 298GB Music [05:07] i see [05:07] Oops, shouldn't be. [05:07] LOL. [05:07] scunizi, same: "the folder contents could not be displayed" [05:08] What's your /etc/fstab show for those two? [05:08] Captech: what might be the issue then? [05:08] CapTech, the UUID isn't always used [05:08] ok thanks man! [05:08] unop: Yeah, I just thought about that too. [05:08] lancerocke, ive seen where if it automounts and dosent unmount/remopve the /media/whatever dir..next time it automounts it adds a _ [05:08] CapTech, especially when mounting volumes [05:08] lancerocke, you can unmount the thing and remove the redundant directories in /media is what i had to do [05:08] * CapTech pulls out his gun, and shoots Billy Gates in da head. [05:09] My volume control buttons stopped working in Gnome even though the volume control in the applet panel still works. When I press on the buttons they act as if it's working but the volume doesn't change. [05:09] * unop will bet windows did not give the volume that label [05:09] lancerocke: Yeah, that sounds reasonable. I've never had the issue. I only have one NTFS volume on my 'puter. [05:09] Anza: What are you attempting to do? [05:09] kk [05:09] thanks guys [05:10] Thank dr_willis. :) [05:10] bobertdos, its just that it was weird I tried to empty the trash but it didnt work [05:10] secret9011: your buttons are probably mapped to a volume control that has no effect on your sound, for example your buttons might control master mono, but you want them to control PCM [05:10] Anza: You've already tried via the terminal, I assume? [05:11] angusthefuzz: how do I map it to what I want? === FrozenFire_ is now known as FrozenFire [05:11] bobertdos, yes, gksudo nautilus, and it says "the folder contents couldnt be displayed [05:12] secret9011: its been so long, i have no idea, i just thought I would explain the problem, im sure someone here can help you [05:12] Anza, you could use this. sudo rm -r ~/.local/share/Trash/* [05:13] Anza: Actually, I'd just do it from the terminal, personally. cd into .local/share/Trash and then rm -rf * [05:13] Is there another good command line terminal app - other than the stock one that comes with Gnome Hardy Heron ? ? [05:13] secret9011: nevermind, i found it: System->Preferences->Sound->Default mixer tracks - This is where you can select what setting(s) the volume keys should control in Gnome. [05:13] newlife: You might try konsole [05:13] secret9011: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=82733 [05:13] newlife: It's KDE's terminal app. [05:14] newlife, there are plenty - rxvt, urxvt, xterm, eterm, etc [05:14] CapTech: Is that designed to run better on KDE desktop or will it work well with Gnome ? [05:15] newlife: To run better, yes, however it will work with Gnome. apt-get will install the absolute dependencies to get it working. [05:15] newlife, it will work on gnome - but it's a bit of overkill [05:15] angusthefuzz: what do I set it to? [05:15] unop: Which of the one's you listed is best suited to run under Gnome? [05:15] unop: Depends on what he wants it to do. [05:15] how can i save my dual screen settings to set on reboot. I had to re-enable it [05:15] unop, bobertdos: unop thing in the terminal worked, thank you guys. === ghost is now known as Guest9225 [05:16] newlife, all of them work - they don't depend on gnome or KDE - they are general X applications [05:16] secret9011: you will need to experiment, its different for different setups, just play in the mixer with some sound playing and see which slider makes the sound louder [05:16] newlife, gksudo nautilus then ctrl+h to make hidden directories visable.. or applications/accessories/terminal.. konsole and terminal are pretty much the same.. [05:16] newlife, I prefer urxvt (rxvt-unicode) [05:16] ronzilla: the nvidia-settings has a save X config button [05:17] Unable to create new X config backup file '/etc/X11/xorg.conf.backup'. [05:17] unop: Ahh ... becoming clearer now - thx - Is there one you are privy to over another? [05:17] hey... I need to know how to apply a single shell command to all subdirectories of a given directory [05:17] ronzilla, you have to run nvidia-settings as root to save.. start it from terminal with sudo nvidia-settings [05:17] ronzilla: I found that i needed to save the xorg config that nvidia-settings makes and overwrite the default myself [05:18] newlife: That's totally subjective. [05:18] angusthefuzz: great, now it works, but the volume manager in the applet panel stopped working [05:18] angusthefuzz: how do I fix that? [05:18] gotcha [05:18] chrisbrl88, creative use of the 'find' command is often used for that. [05:18] newlife, yea, urxvt has support for unicode, transparency, search-back, tabs even and a few other interesting things - and it's lightweight (compared to the gnome-terminal) [05:18] newlife: I was totally a Konsole guy for a long time, but terminal has grown on me. [05:18] chrisbrl88: Depending on the command, -r or -R arguments for recursion. [05:18] newlife: What are you trying to accomplish that just isn't being met for you yet? [05:18] how do i mount newly added hardrives [05:19] I recently switched my webserver to ubuntu from slackware, but it messed up all the directory permissions... I need to chmod all the subdirectories but not the files in them... [05:19] secret9011: right click on the volume manager and change the preferences to point to the correct volume device [05:19] !mount | ronzilla [05:19] ronzilla: For help with partitioning a new install see: https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/switching/installing-partitioning.html - For partitioning programs see !GParted or !QTParted - Other partitioning topics include !fstab !home and !swap [05:19] chrisbrl88, find /someplace -type d -exec chmod 755 {} \; [05:19] Hi everybody [05:20] angusthefuzz: excellent, now they're synchronized [05:20] thanks [05:20] secret9011: youre welcome === FrozenFire_ is now known as FrozenFire [05:20] angusthefuzz: what's the diff between master and PCM? [05:21] unop: missing argument to -exec [05:21] I've noticed that my sound in Ubuntu is significantly lower than it is when I boot into Windows on the same hardware... the volume is all the way up -- I've checked every volume control I can think of. [05:21] ok so basically. I unplugged 3 of my harddrives when doing the install for ubuntu and windows cause i was having an issue with selecting a primary HD to be used. SO i just turned the PC off and then plugged them back in. I haves on them that I dont want to loose they are all in NTFS format [05:21] Hi, is open office 3.0 in an official distro? [05:21] have files on them* [05:21] chrisbrl88, you're probably missing something - show us the exact command you have. [05:22] CapTech: I came across a terminal app about year ago like the one "unop" mentioned with tabs - and it was very nice to use. [05:22] ronzilla, basically you edit the fstab file and mount them to mountpoints you create. [05:22] newlife: I just use the default term app in xubuntu, which works perfect for me. [05:22] ronzilla, the 'ntfs-3g' docs/guides detail this. :) [05:22] i try 8.10 beta but they have open office 2.4 [05:22] I wish I could move the tabs to the bottom, but it still works. [05:23] unop: now it seems empty but whem I pass the mouse by the icon it says there is 22 files there :S I checked the option of show hidden files, but nothing! [05:23] unop: find /var/www/music -type d -exec chmod 777 {} \: [05:23] ug [05:23] i kinda wish i didnt bother to even partition this drive now [05:24] chrisbrl88, the last thing is a semi-colon not a colon i.e. \; not \: [05:24] ronzilla: It's not so bad. After you make one fstab entry, it's almost copy and paste for the ohters. [05:24] *others [05:24] CapTech: I have used that I like it - But would like to try the " urxvt" as well possibly - have to check it out. Thanks [05:25] unop: Thanks for info on other terms out there as well....... [05:25] newlife: Like I said, it's all subjective. Everyone has different tastes. The correct answer, is the one that fits your needs. [05:25] unop: awesome... thank you [05:25] bob, can you point me in the direction of learning about this? [05:25] bobertdos, now it seems empty but whem I pass the mouse by the icon it says there is 22 files there :S I checked the option of show hidden files, but nothing! [05:25] nvm found it on the forums [05:25] Anza, what does du -sh ~/.local/share/Trash give you? [05:25] ronzilla, learning how linux mounts filesystems.. is a must learn skill to increase your linux-karma level :) [05:25] haha [05:26] unop, 4.0K /home/maro/.local/share/Trash [05:26] ronzilla: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab [05:26] Anza, hmm. how about this? find ~/.local/share/Trash/ [05:26] i might want to wait till tomorrow when my rum and cokes wear off [05:27] rum + coke + linux = duh?!?!?! [05:27] unop, /home/maro/.local/share/Trash/ [05:27] Anza, sound like nautilus is giving you a false-positive - try restarting it perhaps? [05:28] CapTech: Well said - and at this point in time I'm searching & exploring - Like I was at one time trying to find a Linux distro that works best for me - Which at this point in time is Ubuntu - Hardy - Gnome - Hands down. Thanks for your comments I appreciate it..... [05:28] unop, ok, I will restart the system [05:28] Anza, a logout should be enough [05:28] if i would of formatted and installed the drive while the others were plugged in would i have ran into this problem? [05:29] anyone in here using IPv6? [05:29] ronzilla: It is LIKELY that fstab entries would have been created for you, but oh well. [05:29] hi guys [05:29] or can i boot in windows to add them then reboot into linux to have a successful mount? [05:30] Hello [05:30] cause i dont mind reformatting cause im not to far into my configuration [05:30] ronzilla, what are you trying to do? [05:30] I am working on building a computer, and I am wondering how well supported the NVIDIA chipsets are. [05:30] see hard drives that i had unplugged that have files on them [05:31] in NTFS format [05:31] ronzilla: You don't need to do that. Okay, obviously, you're not very comfortable, so we'll just talk you through this, k? :) [05:31] How well the NVIDIA chipsets are supported.** [05:31] sure thing [05:31] Tann: they're supported pretty well [05:31] rdw200169: Thanks., [05:31] how can i burn an iso please <3 === mikef is now known as GumBall [05:31] ronzilla: Go into a terminal and type sudo fdisk -l [05:31] i need help with fglrx! [05:31] Tann: what do you have? [05:31] Tann not bad Envy does a good job [05:32] i dont want to format the disk though [05:32] you won't [05:32] seriously or at least changing my xorg.conf file [05:32] Tann: 8.04 just upgraded the nvidia_new driver to 169... [05:32] how can i burn an iso please =( [05:32] ronzilla, that just lists partitions [05:32] Tann: so it should support the newer cards [05:32] rdw200169: ok, I was just wondering, because a mother board I am looking at has an NVIDIA chipset [05:32] I Downloaded and used Envy on my Acer. [05:33] Tann: the Nvidia chipsets, compared to AMD, are MUCH better supported [05:33] can somebody help me please x( [05:33] GumBall, under ubuntu? just double clicking should launch the burner progra,m [05:33] Tann : 8600 and below I'm pretty certain are no biggie [05:33] double click the iso? [05:33] Tann: yeah, they're fine [05:33] ok i have the list [05:33] Tann: I'm using the Nvidia driver with dual monitors [05:33] unop, yes, I restarted and now it seems empty, weird shit... thanks [05:33] GumBall, thats what i said. :) [05:33] Tann: and I'm not having any major difficulties [05:34] !burn [05:34] CD/DVD Burning software: K3b (KDE), gnomebaker, brasero, serpentine, graveman, Nautilus-CD-Burner, GToaster, xcdroast (GNOME), wodim (terminal-based). Burning .iso files: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BurningIsoHowto [05:34] nothing happens [05:34] :( [05:34] Tann: with 8.10, there's supposed to be X autoconfiguration, so no more xorg.conf file mangling\ [05:34] ronzilla: Okay, so take note of the device paths /dev/something of the ones that are NTFS [05:34] GumBall, then try manually launching brasero perhaps. [05:34] rdw200169: ok. Thanks. I knew the NVIDIA graphics cards were supported, but I mean like the motherboard chipsets. [05:34] Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System [05:34] /dev/sdb1 1 30515 245111706 7 HPFS/NTFS [05:34] Anza, it's probably the fact that the deletions weren't registered with gvfs (which would happen if you deleted them via nautilus or such) [05:34] Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System [05:34] bash: brasero: command not found [05:34] /dev/sdc1 1 1453518 732573040+ 7 HPFS/NTFS [05:34] Tann: I'm talking about those too; I've got Nforce4 i think [05:34] x( [05:34] ronzilla, don't paste here [05:34] Tann yeah. Most are [05:35] ok sorry [05:35] Tann; the Nforce chipsets should not be a big deal at all [05:35] GumBall, perhaps install/try any of the following the bot said gnomebaker, brasero, serpentine, graveman, Nautilus-CD-Burner, GToaster, xcdroast [05:35] ronzilla, all you have to do is mount /dev/sdb1 and /dev/sdc1 now [05:35] Tann: I've got the network ports working, audio, everything [05:35] mm [05:35] GumBall, i perfer k3b. but its a kde app.. 'sudo apt-get install k3b' and run with k3b [05:35] i try apt-fet install k3b [05:35] o [05:35] Tann: haven't tried SLI, though [05:35] ye [05:35] :D [05:35] GumBall: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [05:36] * GumBall bites FloodBot2 [05:36] does anyone uses ManDvd? its not working well, when I click "generate video structure" it finishes it in about a minute and does nothing! [05:36] dr_willis, yoo use kde? x) [05:36] Tann: That Envy Program make it pretty easy if your not supported right out of the box. [05:36] Where does ubuntu store its iptables [05:36] *cough* I am very stupid and need help with writing my xorg.conf file. I have a Dell C840 and I have the sily black screen problem. I already know the 2 lines I need to enter but whenever I try to save the file with the corrections it just says that the file/directory does not exist. [05:36] Slack: that depends [05:36] rdw200169: on [05:36] Slack: /usr/sbin/iptables [05:37] Slack: is the executable [05:37] Slack: but what firewall frontend do you want to use?

[05:37] Tann: No problem [05:37] GumBall, some times. [05:37] rdw200169: if i use any, firestarter [05:37] Slack: then it stores the firewall in /etc/firestarter/ [05:37] ooo? seriously? all the other things said sudo nano [05:38] ronzilla: and if you want them to automount, follow the fstab guide and add a couple lines like this: /dev/sdb1 /media/disk ntfs-3g defaults,locale=en_US.utf8 0 0 (media/dis) has to exist ahead of time) [05:38] Slack: but you shouldn' [05:38] I cant even edit it in root (please dont yell at me for doing it in root) [05:38] dr_willis, kay [05:38] Slack: t ever have to mess with those files; firestarter is pretty good at what it does! [05:38] Mikenolike, if you only have a text based system then nano works too.. gedit is a gui app. either will work.. [05:38] im so loney [05:38] Where do I set the 3-button mode and the scroll for my touch point now that xorg.conf is depricated? [05:38] Tann: Do understand they aren't all supported right out of the box though... [05:39] rdw200169: sounds good, ill give it a shot, im using it to try to allow connections to my apache server [05:39] I will probably ask for more help in like 20 seconds, this has been destroying me every time I try to use linix [05:39] Slack: shouldn't be a big deal at all; just look up how to allow incoming ports on the firestarter help website [05:39] linux* [05:39] Slack; it's REALLY easy [05:39] nathan_: yes. I've worked with NVIDIA cards, I was just wondering about the motherboard chipsets. [05:39] ok [05:39] MisterTaco, you'd add the appropriate lines to xorg.conf.. I haven't heard that xorg is depriciated .. just that video isn't using it much unless you need to tweek it.. [05:40] rdw200169: lol, thats what i hear, and also thats why im getting confused as to why it wont work [05:40] Slack: are you using it right now? i can help [05:40] just wasn't sure what your experience level is [05:40] Slack: do you have the gui application for firestarter open? [05:40] rdw200169: i do [05:40] Slack: and, are you behind a NAT network? [05:40] rdw200169: correct === bruenig_ is now known as bruenig [05:41] Slack: do you have port forwarding from you router to your webserver enabled? [05:41] rdw200169: actually it might not be now [05:41] whats the difference between: sudo nautilus, and gksudo nautilus? [05:41] !gksudo | Anza [05:41] Anza: 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) [05:41] Anza: gksudo is a gtk frontend for sudo [05:42] rdw200169: how do i check if NAT is enables [05:42] scunizi, same problem [05:42] Slack: what i mean is: are you behind a router [05:42] rdw200169: yes [05:42] Slack: so you're using a Linksys wireless router or something right? [05:42] cant use graphical as the display is already fubar without the 2 lines [05:42] rdw200169: yezzir [05:42] Mikenolike, when you open the file is there anything at all in it or is it totally blank? [05:42] Hope everyone has a good night. er.. Morning. Bye [05:43] Slack: what you need to do, then, is port forwarding in the router [05:43] whenever i use text base it says it cant find the file/directory [05:43] rdw200169: somehow i cant seem to get access to my routers config page where all that stuff is [05:43] Mikenolike, probably because what you're typing isn't correct.. tell me exactly what you're typing to open the file. [05:44] Slack: so you set up port forwarding for ports 80 and 443 (http and https) to the ip address you were assigned by the router [05:44] Slack: can you get into the configuration for the router, at least? [05:44] when I am in root I use nano ect/x11/xorg.conf [05:44] and it opens the file fine [05:44] rdw200169: no can do [05:44] hey i have just heard abt php nd i just wanted 2 know wats the differencxe between php and JSP [05:44] rdw200169: wouldnt it be the same thing if i did it from iptables [05:44] whenever I go to save it gives me the error [05:44] Slack: well, that's gonna be your first step no matter what [05:44] im lost on this mounting thing [05:45] Slack; your webserver will never be visible to the real world until the port is forwarded to your webserver [05:45] Slack; otherwise, all that traffic stops at the router [05:45] ronzilla: In the terminal, type sudo nano /etc/fstab [05:45] Slack; the router doesn't know where to send it [05:45] rdw200169: ok, i gotchya [05:46] Mikenolike, well.. if you're actually in a root account instead of using sudo or actually using sudo then there should be a / in front of etc.. and x11 is X11 (capitalized) as in ... nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf [05:46] ok then what === gord_ is now known as drog [05:46] Slack; The router is performing NAT translation for you; from a real internet IP address (assigned by your ISP) to the local network; likely 192.168.0.0/24 [05:46] im not seeing the HD's listed [05:46] very sorry to ask such question here. i want to convert my ape audio files to flac format, but i can not find monkeys-audio, can some one help me [05:46] hmm [05:47] my system is ubuntu 8.04 amd64 [05:47] flourish: you are using the 64 bit version?

[05:47] through the web browser [05:47] Slack; i.e. what are you typing in the address bar of your web browswer [05:47] bruenig: yes [05:47] Mikenolike, did that make a difference? [05:47] scun, ill report back in like 2 mins with more failure. I probably had it right for opening as it opened the file correctly, I just left those like that as I am unfamiliar with using text based editing [05:48] rdw200169: just got access nvm [05:48] scunizi, this is the bane of my existance [05:48] Slack: excellent! [05:48] rdw200169: :D [05:48] ronzilla: PM me if you want. I can tell you're confused, so let's cut the noise. [05:48] oooooook [05:49] free bruenig?

[05:51] can some one help me, I need the package monkeys-audio of ubuntu 8.04 amd64, but i cannot find it everywhere [05:51] Does anyone recommend a better app than ManDvd to make dvd movies? [05:52] Mikenolike, you dont want to get me started on some of the weirdness ive had to go through to get things working in windows befor.. :) [05:52] ^ [05:52] Anza, DeVeDe perhaps? [05:52] Dr_WiLlIS, help me pls <3 [05:52] did you have to goto text editing to make it work? [05:52] Mikenolike, just consider that the underlying system commands have been around much longer than windows and dos [05:52] Dr_WiLlIS, never heard about that [05:53] is someone being unhappy with ubuntu? [05:53] overall I love it, its just a pain to make graphics work right [05:53] GumBall, what do you expect me to do about it? [05:53] Mikenolike, for you maybe [05:53] and yes, if the companies would play nice it would be a lot better [05:53] for me it worked out of the box [05:53] Mikenolike, you use the arrow keys in nano to get to the area that you want to type and then just type.... when done ctrl+o then enter then ctrl+x enter to exit. [05:53] I switched from xp to ubuntu and I like it [05:53] I do as well, thats why I am trying to make it work [05:54] Anza, ive usedit to convert single video files/movies to dvd format befor.. it worked ok.. not a lot of features.. but i worked [05:54] Dr_WiLlIS, Can you add subtitles and all that with that app? [05:54] Anza, no idea. I never wanted to. [05:55] Anza, you could use the various mencoder and other tools to add them then use the devede tool [05:55] ok rebooting... [05:55] hi, i cant boot from the cd to install ubuntu, i can only install inside windows... === SyN_AcK is now known as syn_ack [05:56] Anyone snag one of those Dell mini 9 notebooks? [05:56] Mikenolike, no need justs log out and then ctrl+alt+backspace [05:56] the_dude, why? [05:56] the_dude: Can't as in you won't do it, or can't as in the system won't allow you to? [05:56] wooooooah [05:56] apathadeus, i try to boot and the screen says - please insert a CD [05:57] the_dude, i see, i've never encountered that [05:57] idk Dr_WiLlIS [05:57] apathadeus, yeah yeah, ill see that... [05:57] ilu :) [05:57] well my display works again [05:57] apathadeus, i can live with that hehehe [05:57] nvidia blows chunks again however with the driver set [05:57] the_dude, do you have multiple cd drives? [05:58] apathadeus, man do you know how do i format only the ubuntu partition [05:58] Should I buy ATi or Nvidia if I want to run Linux? [05:58] apathadeus, yes, a dvd and a cd driver [05:58] It used to be nvidia or bust. [05:58] Mikenolike, you mean the resolution is messed up [05:58] Scunizi, ty very much for correcting the little ect-etc error [05:58] the_dude, i think that MAY be the cause [05:58] Mikenolike, np.. hows the resolution? [05:58] apathadeus: I agree. Have him put the disk in the other drive. [05:58] the_dude, the ubuntu cd has a partitioner inside, or you can use magic partition in windows [05:58] apathadeus, yeh maybe, and the cd has an option, Help to Boot... [05:59] haha trying to see if I can fix it now [05:59] apathadeus, i install and then he misses one file [05:59] if this works I get to see if I can fail my way around installing warcraft [05:59] apathadeus, yeah man im on ubuntu, i got it from install inside windows, and i chose the other partition [05:59] Mikenolike, might help to install nvidia-settings.. [06:00] thats french to me.... [06:00] the_dude, i've never used the boot-from-windows feature. I think if you install it from windows, you can't install it as a partition. at least I haven't figured that out [06:00] how do I use emacs to change mandvd interface language? [06:00] Mikenolike, is the gui so large that you really can't do anything with it? [06:01] man, i got 2 partition, 1 with xp, and the other empty, got it? when i installed ubuntu, i chose the empty one ;) [06:01] apathadeus, man, i got 2 partition, 1 with xp, and the other empty, got it? when i installed ubuntu, i chose the empty one ;) [06:01] no the right 2 inches of my screen is a nice assortment of colors in verticle bars [06:01] and the lower 1 1/5 inch is a mirror of the top of my display [06:01] hello Ubuntu team [06:01] Where do I change the default application that starts when you click on a file - Example: I click on .mp3 file and Audacious runs - I would like to change to " Exaile " ? ?

[06:02] I could install it fine in VmWare though. but there is a 30day limit for Vmware. [06:03] the_dude, i don't know about installing from windows, i thought it only installed the emulated version of ubuntu [06:03] anyone know what i should do about the xubuntu installer dropping me into a terminal labelled (initramfs) ? [06:03] im having an issue. i changed the max library songs in mpd.conf from 16k to 50k and for some reason mpd is still only seeing 16k songs. ive tried restarting mpd and doing a create-db but nothing seems to work [06:03] so I need to start using Ubuntu from inside XVM (Sun virtualbox) [06:03] hello guys, how to configure advanced desktop effect setting? i need some tutorial to make my ubuntu look very cool... [06:03] rangzy, theres a free vmware-server you can get.. ive ran ubuntu under virtualbox also. no problems [06:03] Mikenolike, sounds like bad resolution or refresh rate.. ok.. maybe this will help.. ctrl+alt+F7 is where the gui lives.. remember that.. now ctrl+alt+f2 will get you a text screen you have to log into... once there.. sudo apt-get install nvidia-settings.. then back to the gui with ctrl+alt+F7 and get to a terminal and sudo nvidia-settings.. cange things there. [06:03] rangzy, using 8.10 in virtualbox under vista right now. [06:04] hi, whats the command that removes unnecessary packages? apt-get autoclean?

[06:05] bobertdos, thanks, is there anything else i can do to free space in my / partition? [06:05] rangzy, i did have a issue with virtualbox the other day and had to reinstall it.. I think some vista update broke somthing [06:05] use ubuntu-tweak, it is very easy and safe [06:05] unitedpotsmokers, i will try ,is that whats it for? is it in the repos (gutsy)? [06:06] Dr_WiLlIS: oh I see. and is it fine if I use VirtualBox2.02 ? === |Aryn| is now known as aRyn [06:06] Anybody here know how to get xchat to use emacs-style editing?

[06:07] okay, so the ubuntu 8.04 installer is dropping me into a terminal named (initramfs), and 'cat casper.log' says "unable to find a medium containing a live file system' [06:07] hi everyone [06:07] bruenig, That's one way, yes. There's another, since I've managed to do it before without recompiling. [06:07] Dr_WiLlIS: okay. and, I need to mention this too: I am able to install fedora fine in the virtualbox. [06:07] mp3 Files open with Audacious - would like to open with Exaile everytime I click on it. [06:07] itai, im using hardy heron. i think it is 3rd party software and it is nice. i used this application to do some tweak, to update, or to remove like temporary files, packages [06:08] newlife: Go into the Properties menu of an mp3 and change it from Open With [06:08] thanks Dr_WiLlIS, I shall try to reinstall the xvm. (I have done that around 3-4 times already, though) [06:08] rangzy, could be a bad iso file..

[06:10] and, one query to the whole team here. I installed Ubuntu8.04 from Wubi in my HP Dv5z series laptop. the wifi is not working. I searched, and did the ndiswrapper setup.

[06:28] wifi is fine, no installs needed or anything I made sure I had a card that works with it [06:28] Kr0ntab nothing on that computer to break. [06:28] Omoikane_: connection refused. [06:29] its ONLY display that haunts me like a bad prom date you shove into the trunk of your car before you push it into the lake [06:29] Omoikane_: connection refused which means that the port is closed... not filtered... [06:29] Omoikane_: netstat -an | grep 22 [06:29] i'm on feisty, know that it will be out of support at the end of october. should i upgrade now to hardy, or better to wait until intrepid. (in other words - does intrepid look like it's going to be stable and solid? or is it more "experimental", like edgy was) [06:30] does it show "LISTENING" ? [06:30] Mikenolike, have you tried.... sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg [06:30] LISTEN I mean [06:30] lol? [06:30] what the topic mean in offtopic [06:30] what the topic mean in offtopic [06:30] what the topic mean in offtopic [06:31] Mikenolike: lol :) [06:31] Kr0ntab what am I looking for? [06:31] lol; there are users named FloodBot ? [06:31] what happened to icesword ? [06:31] is it possible to download all files in a directory with wget? [06:31] attickid: yes? [06:32] !wireless [06:32] Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [06:32] Omoikane_: I'm assuming you've turned on port forwarding for an SSH server begind yer firewall... and you wannt to make sure that the server is actually listening on port 22 [06:32] therealnonotube:I dont know,Im trying to download all files which are in a directory of a webserver instead of clicking each of them manually [06:32] my ctrl key is not functioning like a control key, for example when i try to make individual selections from a html selectbox form, i either have to select all or none - can't select a subset. [06:32] attickid: "man wget" to learn about the options for wget. [06:33] attickid: if it is ftp, try using filezilla [06:33] oh dandy, it wants me to turn off x before I can install [06:33] I think there is a linux version of filezilla [06:33] There's a linux version; I use it every now and then. [06:33] hi [06:33] what can i do to make my ctrl function like a control key and not like a shift when selecting items [06:33] attickid: specifically, the "-r" option for recursive get is probably what you're looking for. [06:33] does anyone know how to change my alias in this chat? [06:34] therealnonotube: yeah:Dthanks I just figured out:D [06:34] Kr0ntab it says cp 0 0 0.0;0.0:37221 0.0.0.0:* Listen cp6 0 0 : : :22 : : :* LISTEN [06:34] i want to dive into coding. i read and have been advised that running ubuntu linux would be a good idea. should i go ahead and run that from now on instead of vista? [06:34] attickid: cool :) [06:34] Mikenolike, remember ctrl+alt+F2? do that and then sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop... that will stop x ... but what are you trying to install? [06:34] Omoikane_: dont paste here [06:34] a1en > yes!!! [06:34] older display drivers [06:34] its a finicky thing [06:34] this is my last resort [06:35] therealnanotube: Im new to linux :D and I lvoe the fact I dont have to do such repetitive job :D definetely I LOVE IT:D [06:35] miken what you trying to install? [06:35] a1len: yea, trust me. Linux is way better for coding than windows. And with linux, you'll learn alot more along the way and wont have to resort to dirty tricks in windows to do stuff [06:35] older display drivers for my laptop [06:35] attickid: excellent. :) [06:35] Mikenolike, you should be able to do that from synaptic or a terminal.. synaptic is under Sytem/Admin or from terminal type sudo apt-cache nvidia for a list of drivers. [06:35] a1len: the posibilities are endless, aslong as your willing to learn [06:35] Mikenolike: installing drivers for video is teh satan. Just breath in slowly, then set fire to the sodding thing. [06:36] my logitech mouse stopped working, and I don't remember what I was doing before it stopped. I have confirmed it is not the battery, it is wireless [06:36] attickid: that said, there /is/ a wget for windows... it just doesn't come by default. :) but there are plenty of reasons to like linux. :) [06:36] scunizi, if this fails I am just giving up. its really not worh the effort anymore [06:36] I am about to go jamesish route as well [06:36] Anyone know how to get the STA drivers from broadcom to show up in my hardware drivers window to use? [06:36] Mikenolike, such a little thing :).. once fixed it's done [06:36] Mikenolike: if it helps, I've written x configs by hand and been exactly where you are now. We can help. [06:36] Mikenolike: what's your video card? [06:37] is there a way to reset the usb dongle on logitech mice [06:37] nVidia GeForce4 440 go 32MB on a dell c840 [06:37] mynameistux: pull it out and stick it back in? :) === [Mau_Restor] is now known as mau_restor [06:37] yeah, tried that :P [06:37] i've just ordered a mx400!! getting it del on monday [06:37] the picture of what my display looks like is this http://members.cox.net/mikenolike1/DSC00643.JPG [06:37] maybe if I leave it out for a bit? [06:37] when I use printscreen it shows up as a normal display [06:37] Mikenolike: ah... and you are using the foss nv driver? or the closed-source nvidia? [06:38] closed source [06:38] nope, still dosn't work [06:38] mikenolike: I've generally found that the nvidia drivers are reliable once they're loaded, but their custom x configs can sometimes be hairy. If you need help, really, talk to us. I've read the nvidia config docs a few times, and they're relatively painless. [06:38] Anyone know what the package names is for the STA drivers from Broadcom are? THey aren't showing up in my hardware drivers window. [06:38] Can I sent voice clip in the amsn at the same time that im listening music in amarok or other media? [06:38] Mikenolike, seems like a resolution problem [06:38] its set to native resolution [06:38] jamesish, he needs one of the older drivers.. his machine has reported problems with the stock drivers. [06:38] Mikenolike, have you tried resetting resolutions [06:38] all other resolutions have the same efect [06:38] gah I paid 40 bucks for this mouse, and now it has stopped working, less than a week after I got it ! [06:38] Mikenolike: tried the nv driver? [06:38] i see [06:39] scunizi: there's a meta package for old drivers on teh nvidia website. [06:39] mynameistux: oh! 40 bucks is too expensive. I bought one for 9 bucks. and it rocks [06:39] mynameistux: well... the good news is that you can probably return it... :) [06:39] logitech [06:39] normal setting without using restricted drivers yield a normal display [06:39] jamesish, here's his link for a screen shot. http://members.cox.net/mikenolike1/DSC00643.JPG [06:39] its a good mouse [06:39] scunizi: but installing the driver isn't the end of it. The x-config that it generates only works some of the time. [06:39] using the restricted driver provided gives me the black screen of death [06:39] Can I sent voice clip in the amsn at the same time that im listening music in amarok or other media? [06:39] was a good mouse [06:39] Mikenolike: so why not use the opensource driver? [06:39] editing xorg.conf gives me the picture I gave you [06:39] Anyone know anything related to the Broadcom STA driver here? [06:39] I hate opensource, bleh [06:40] mike > 1) try envy 2) try nvidia-glx, then nvidia-config then nvidia-settings 3) try system > admin > restricted drivers [06:40] scunizi: or, rather, the x=config that nvidia-config or whatever the command is generates. Sometimes it's not good. [06:40] anyone know where I can find a good wallpaper for a transparent terminal? [06:40] jamesish, if you can walk him through it that would be great.. I've gotta find my pillow. [06:40] hi, anyone know if microsoft wireless desktop 700 will work on ubuntu? [06:40] Mikenolike, jamesish should be able to help.. I've gotta sleep .. :) good luck [06:40] binary > the black vista wallpaper is pretty good for that [06:41] Can I sent voice clip in the amsn at the same time that im listening music in amarok or other media? [06:41] night scunizi, ty for getting me this far! [06:41] siimo: looks like "yes" : http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=895696 [06:41] ggeecko: thanks i've seen the unbranded one before [06:42] you can try catting different files and send it to /dev/dsp :) [06:42] Mikenolike: heh [06:42] what the open source remark? [06:42] Mikenolike: yea :) [06:42] my logitech mouse stopped working, and I don't remember what I was doing before it stopped. I have confirmed it is not the battery, it is wireless [06:43] Mikenolike: We'll get you through this, no worries. Just be aware I'll be leaving for about forty minutes in about ten minutes. I'll be back later, though. [06:43] well they dont release full specs on things right? [06:43] Mikenolike: you sure you got the right driver, first? There're several, and one covers legacy hardware one covers new. If you have the wrong one, it won't install and it'll TELL you that it's not supporting your card. [06:43] Mikenolike: yea, that's why the oss driver lacks some features... but it should be perfectly fine for regular 2-d stuff. [06:43] he needs the lagacy one [06:43] ;egacy [06:44] legacy! :) [06:44] :) [06:44] mynameistux: have you tried websearching for your mouse model number to see if others come up with similar problems? [06:44] well, uh, no. [06:44] *opens google* [06:45] when i do apt-get upgrade i am geting "The following packages have been kept back: bind9-host dnsutils libbind9-30 libdns35 libisccc30 libisccfg30" [06:45] god I want to kill myself [06:45] error on ispconfig installtion over ubuntuserver [06:45] mynameistux: try it, maybe sometghing will come up and someone has already solved the problem. :) what's your mouse model number? i'll help too === Slack__ is now known as Slack [06:45] mikenolike: it sounded earlier like you have the driver, you've just got to drop X windows and then run the installer. Is that the case? Once that's done, if something goes wrong UBuntu'll back up your old x-config and offer to restore it after a few bad attempts to start X. [06:45] Mikenolike: heh, pretty fragile, if a videodriver can get you so. :) [06:45] dude [06:46] anybody who can install ispconfig :-s [06:46] mike > get newer hardware and use envy, it'll install it no probs. it's only cos its old hardware and they didn't plan for doing ubuntu drivers [06:46] it would have been more cost effective by now for me to toss this into the garbage and buy a new laptop [06:46] If it makes any odds to you, I normally charge sixty five per hour ;) [06:46] thanks everyone. bye [06:46] Mikenolike: or you could just use the default nv driver. heh. why exactly were you unhappy with it in the first place? [06:47] then I could have bought 2 new laptops [06:47] It was screwing his display up. [06:47] crushy: there's probably plenty of documentation on ispconfig.org [06:47] Mikenolike: where are you in the process? Are you ready to kill X and do the hardcore command line install? [06:48] i checked and followed all but i dont know why am getting this error:( [06:48] I think its a v200 or somthing like taht [06:48] yeah kill x again [06:48] fun times [06:49] well probably just kill the laptop [06:49] So, ash (the BSD bourne shell) will execute my .shrc (to set up aliases, etc.) when I, e.g., run a program from vi with ":!blah". But bash ignores my .bashrc in this case. Any thoughts on how to deal with this? [06:49] jamesish: ah, i misread some stuff earlier - i thought the nvidia driver was screwing it up, but nv has not been tried... ok [06:50] hi [06:51] I have a website with numerous pdfs on it. I would rather have a application that will go to the address and automatically download all pdfs for me, that way I do not have to click on each one. Is there an app out there that can do this [06:51] I'm gonna toddle for a little while, but I'll return. But, before I go. cjs: you sure that the BSD bourne shell is ash? Because ...it's not. [06:51] Oh? What is it? [06:51] smm289: down them all, a firefox extension. wget can probably do it too, but I don't know how. [06:51] smm289: the first application I ever wrote in ruby did that. Took me ten minutes to learn enough ruby to write it. [06:51] hi all, i need to update my pidgin, what version should i download ? for windows, for source or ? [06:51] mokz: do they have a .deb? [06:51] cjs: it's actual bourne shell. Genuine real deal. check out ##freebsd and hang with those guys to be yelled at about it. [06:52] sigh how do I install a driver in shell.... [06:52] I tried wget and did not seem to work [06:52] down them all hu [06:52] I am completely lost [06:52] I will try [06:52] cjs: ##freebsd is awesome, incidentally. Love the channel. [06:52] Maybe they're using a different one from NetBSD. [06:52] sudo sh /home/username/desktop/file.run? [06:52] mikenolike: it's a .run package. You type in sudo ./.run and it'll take care of itself from there. Assuming you're in the same directory as it. [06:52] smm289, wget has extensive command lineoptions you may need to look at, or find a gui for it.. theres also other web site mirror tools. like htttrack (SP?_ [06:52] Looking at the source, there's a file in there called TOUR, which inside it says: "A Tour through Ash" "Copyright 1989 by Kenneth Almquist." [06:53] adam7, i dont know ? i just visited their site and there were different versions [06:53] I wonder where they got the real one? That's Bell Labs, stuff. [06:53] cjs: from "man bash", when it is started in noninteractive mode, it looks for contents of variable "BASH_ENV", and uses that as its rcfile. check your BASH_ENV variable. [06:53] Ah! [06:53] Yet another thing that needs a name change. *Sigh*. [06:53] mokz: can you compile stuff? if you can, use the source. Otherwise, you need to find a debian package. There is one in the intrepid repos, and getdeb.net has one. [06:54] debian = translator or emulator ? [06:54] cjs: man to the rescue again. :) [06:54] smm289: use wget with "-r" option [06:55] mokz: Debian is a Linux distro? [06:55] kingsofleon: sup? :) [06:55] Weird, I am setting BASH_ENV. [06:56] Or I'm not, though I should be. Hm. [06:56] hello [06:56] kongove: hi [06:56] Hm. Turns out that $BASH_VERSION is not set when .profile is run. Weird. [06:57] hmmm i'm newby in ubuntu and other unix systems, i downloaded pidgin for source (cause there was no one for linux)... how can i install it ? or how can i compile it ?

[06:57] mokz: it's a lot easier just to grab a .deb for it [06:58] no, i have 7 [06:58] mokz: 7.10 or 7.04? [06:58] think 7,10 where can i see it ? [06:59] mokz: cat /etc/issue (run that in a terminal) [06:59] ooooooooooooooook [06:59] I failed [06:59] 7.10 [07:00] siimo: if it's just a normal usb mouse and keyboard, it should. it's possible not all features will work, but it should type and point [07:01] adam7: well these things have a RF receiver that plugs into USB. no sepraate connectors for kbd and mouse [07:02] siimo: the easiest way to tell is to plug it in, but if you can't do that, find the exact model number and google it. I have something similar from Logitech that works perfectly. [07:02] if i download .deb file, what should i do next ? [07:02] hello everyone! help! y have wifi problems with the 2.6.24-21 kernel!!! please help [07:03] mokz: double click it [07:03] will it install automatical or i wiil need to type smth in terminal ?

[07:43] if i screw about with my bios though, i risk having problems for booting into windows :\ [07:43] Hey Guys, I was just wondering whats new in 8.10 [07:44] i looked online couldnt find much info [07:44] ubuntu doesn't have drivers for my card, and the nvidia official install doesn't allow running from x [07:44] Vic1ous, http://www.ubuntu.com/testing/intrepid/beta [07:44] hello. Is openoffice.org3 available through ubuntu hardy repoes ? :) [07:44] j8oor: a good thing to do, then, in all honesty is to write down your BIOS settings on each screen as they stand right now. Then if you screw them up, you have a record. [07:44] help, everything is blurry and it's giving me a headache [07:44] delfick, no. [07:44] Polygon89: k then, thnx [07:45] jp91: go to sleep, you'll be sober in the morning. [07:45] Hey, where do I go to get things like pidgin 2.4.3? [07:45] it acts like my resolution is wrong but I only have one option [07:45] hmm...too much of a workaround to be honest. i think i'll stick with vista for now as my pc is so powerful it runs it with ease. lol, ironic really, my pc is just too powerful and state-of-the-art for ubuntu :\ [07:45] cjs, the latest version of pidgin is 2.5.1.... [07:46] hello [07:46] there' [07:46] j8oor: No, it's not. [07:46] Oh. Ok, I guess I could go for that... [07:46] outbackwifi, hello [07:46] there's something wrong with my hz [07:46] I just wanted to fix the icon size issue; 2.4.1 ignores my DPI settings and produces huge icons. [07:46] cjs, you can either compile pidgin or get it from getdeb.net [07:46] j8oor: when other folks are getting the hardware to work, then it's not. You're just not setting the BIOS up as per other folks' discoveries. But that's okay, you don't HAVE to use ubuntu. [07:46] getdeb.net is the place to go for all of the latest stuff? [07:46] cjs, only two ways to get it without upgrading to intrepid [07:47] cjs: Might be a nice idea to install from source. Flex the ol' skkills. [07:47] cjs, yeah, but then the debs are not made by offical people, so they *might* cause problems havent for me though. [07:47] I have flexed so much of those skills over the last 25 years that I will be happy to avoid it once in a while. [07:47] jamesish, compiling pidgin with the right options is hard >.> [07:47] polygon89: O [07:47] Um. [07:48] But speaking of installing from source, is there some way to tell this thing "just install all of the g*d d**m -dev packages already?" [07:48] jamesish, look at the offical ubuntu version (pidgin > about) and look at all the options it comes compiled with =) [07:48] somebody help me, my eyeballs are going to shrivel up [07:48] polygon89: It's not something I've had issues with, really. [07:48] Every time I turn around, I'm missing 80 KB of header files. [07:48] jamesish, nah, it's fine. tbh, ubuntu is great and runs better than windows. but with a pc as powerful as mine i don't have to worry about slowdowns, so no worries. i'm just gonna boot back into vista and call it a day. thanks for the help though [07:49] Hi i have installed tomcat but i cant login to tomcat manager keep saying wrong password [07:49] acn any one tlel me what possibly could be problem === hiptobecubic is now known as hiptobecubic-afk [07:49] cjs, i don't think there is. i always thought there should be, but whenever i asked, everyone tried to tell me that it wasn't what i really wanted. [07:50] hi can anyone tell ma any software package to resize partitions of the hard disk [07:50] cjs: try out something like apt-cache search -dev, then use awk to parse out the name line and just use a while read loop to install the packages, I guess. [07:50] there should be a way to always incude the -dev and -doc packages. [07:50] indian_munnda: qparted [07:50] !qparted [07:50] Sorry, I don't know anything about qparted [07:50] !info gparted [07:51] gparted (source: gparted): GNOME partition editor. In component main, is optional. Version 0.3.5-1ubuntu3 (hardy), package size 339 kB, installed size 2100 kB [07:51] qtparted [07:51] Well, it's not. What you really want is for that 324 KB readline package to just bite the bullet, grow by 20%, and include the 80K of header files. [07:51] can any one tell me ? [07:51] it 'g' not 'q' [07:51] But that's not going to happen any time soon. [07:51] outbackwifi: should i install gparted or qparted?? === proptcp is now known as porptcp [07:51] indian_munnda: theres nothing called qparted [07:51] outbackwifi: oh ok [07:51] qtparted, and gparted [07:51] thank you [07:51] cjs: fair enough :) [07:53] Just be glad they bother to include gcc and /usr/include. :-) [07:53] cjs, i guess its less annoying than compiling dependancies yourself. [07:53] :S [07:54] cjs, arch linux is the only distro i know of that does what your asking. [07:54] I'm kinda tempted by it, actually. [07:54] i'm going to go blind [07:54] But I've now put something like 30 hours into this changeover from NetBSD.... [07:54] jp91: whats the issue [07:54] slackware includes all headers, but there is no dependancy resolution. [07:54] (Though, to be sure, most of it was learning to deal with Gnome.) [07:55] cjs: I've never used NetBSD. Got stuck on FreeBSD. How's pkg src for managing dependencies? [07:55] outbackwifi, my screen is really blurry like i need a driver or the hz are wrong [07:55] pkgsrc is pretty damn good, in that respect. [07:55] In many respects, actually. [07:55] cjs, oh, if your a bsd guy you should just use pkgsrc on top of slackware. [07:56] cjs: and are there automated tools for doing an upgrade once your ports tree is updated? FreeBSD has portmaster and portupgrade, which both rule. [07:56] j debian# [07:56] jamesish, Yes, of various sorts. [07:56] I have two basic issues with pkgsrc, one inherent, one just due to the way they build binary packages. [07:56] jp91: can you shift to a lower resolution using ctl+alt+- [07:56] Inherently, the damn thing is written as some 12,000 lines of make. Ouch. [07:56] Really? [07:57] Yup. [07:57] FreeBSD has the makefiles distributed throughout the ports tree; I just assumed it worked similarly. [07:57] outback yes, now i can only see a tiny portion of the screen [07:57] Oh, they are distributed through out the tree, except for a bunch of included stuff. I'm sure FreeBSD is pretty much the same.) [07:57] like i'm zoomed in, but it looks clear [07:57] jp91: keep doing that till you get to a resolution that suits [07:58] Ah, I know what you're talking about, yeah. Included variables and the like are set up centrally for the ports tree, yeah. [07:58] Hey [07:58] !hi|ingsoc [07:58] ingsoc: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! [07:58] Anyway, BSD folks (except for me) like make, and like to use it fairly badly. I tried to start fixing this around '96, when I joined the NetBSD project, and it will never happen for political reasons. [07:58] jamesish, More than just that. Have a look at what's probably in the "mk" directory off the top level of the tree. [07:58] Is your real name Theo De Raadt? ;) [07:59] ... XD any one care to lend ahand with some sound card issues? been going at it for last 14 hours and fianly gave in to ask for some help [07:59] more likely curt sampson [07:59] outbackwifi, i went through all the resolutions and some of them are really clear but they are all still zoomed in [07:59] Anyway, the other issue, that's anything with the 'standard' binary builds, is that all config files go into /usr/pkg/etc. So you upgrade bind, and your config moves from /etc to /usr/pkg/etc. Then you upgrade NetBSD, upgarding bind again (and removing the package), and your config moves back to /etc. Very annoying. [07:59] ingsoc: go ahead we'll all try [07:59] But not everything does this; ssh does not, for example. [07:59] Yes, Curt Sampson. [07:59] You can't pin it? [07:59] I've had dealing with theo, though. :-) [08:00] XD thanks [08:00] outbackwifi, the screen moves and follows my mouse when i go to the edge [08:00] Well, I do, but you have to rebuild from source. So I can't use the standard binaries. Not such a huge deal now that I have a custom build setup I use for packages for all my servers, but stil.... [08:00] Ive gone thorugh the comprihenive sound guide and then some. and still cant seem to get my soudn card working [08:01] I followed all instructions to the T and every thing seems to go as they say but still yet. [08:01] Anyway, for desktop stuff, I just figured I wanted Flash and Skype and all that stuff working without too many hassles, so here I am. [08:01] I cant get any alsamixer or any type of mixers to open [08:02] 00:10.1 Audio device: nVidia Corporation MCP51 High Definition Audio (rev a2) [08:02] Subsystem: nVidia Corporation A8N-VM CSM Mainboard [08:02] Flags: 66MHz, fast devsel, IRQ 22 [08:02] Memory at fe024000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=16K] [08:02] Capabilities: [08:02] K\I've been trying to work out if there's a good way to ask a piece of source what libraries it will need to update. If I can work that out, I'm pretty sure I can make a nice build tool that'll let an abitrary system build software for another abitrary system. [08:02] i need an intel driver i think [08:02] back [08:03] Disregard earlier question, I think I've determined the problem. [08:03] sp91: you resolution and all that good stuff right? [08:03] jp91* [08:04] jp91: what driver is your xorg.conf using right now? [08:04] ingsoc i have the resolution set to the native resolution for the monitor [08:04] i got it guys [08:05] outbackwifi what's the command to show me that [08:05] jp91: you can use gedit to open /etc/X11/xorg.conf (or if you prefer cli, vi /etc/X11/xorg.conf) [08:06] So does getdeb.net do a "repository" that one can add to one's local package manager? [08:06] gksudo displayconfig-gtk i jkut had some monitor issues .. not sure if it will help but "gksudo displayconfig-gtk" has some cool options in it. [08:06] chilli00: its working? [08:06] yes [08:06] Section "Device" [08:06] Identifier "Configured Video Device" [08:06] thanks mate [08:06] ok [08:06] so will my compiz still work? [08:06] Section "Monitor" Identifier "Configured Monitor" [08:06] ingsoc: i wouldnt use displayconfig-gtk, it really messed up my xorg when i tried to use it for dual monitors; in fact its listed on the xrandr site [08:07] Is there anybody use python? [08:07] i do kongove [08:07] i am new to ubuntu which command i can get installation software online [08:07] bradonhead: www.ubuntu.com [08:07] chilli00: how long have you used it? [08:07] not to long [08:07] but i know how to use it well [08:07] just downloaded and installed [08:07] ingsoc i've been using that and my monitor is in the list and it's selected and everything [08:07] What are you doing with this language? [08:08] I see. XD my mistake. heheh ill keep my advice to my self for the time being. [08:08] making games programs [08:08] lots [08:08] bradonhead: and ...

[08:09] and windows [08:09] but not for programin [08:09] ingsoc: np, in fact i had to use grandr to configure dual-hea [08:09] outbackwifi my xorg.conf file says Section "Device" [08:09] Identifier "Configured Video Device" Section "Monitor" [08:09] Identifier "Configured Monitor" [08:09] i use ubuutu yes [08:09] chili00: I'm a Chinese, where are you from? [08:09] Would my sonbord sound card be shot if it showed up in "lspci -v"? [08:09] australia [08:10] desktop version, it does not have ssh server [08:10] jp91: if your card is an intel (like mine is) you can insert a line called Driver "intel" [08:11] kongove: im from Australia [08:11] how can i add russian print to pidgin ? [08:11] outbackwifi just put Driver "intel" in there somewhere? === gord__ is now known as drog [08:11] jp91: like this --> http://pastebin.com/f68f9faae [08:11] This is getting rediculis.

Usage information can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Devilspie [08:18] ingsoc: alsamixer is included in alsa-utils package do you have it installed?

[08:19] Would that cause any conflics? [08:19] i saved that and restarted and ubuntu went into low graphics mode [08:19] firestorm: ya, it takes some scripting, but you can really set up all your windows automagically any way you want [08:20] gaim [08:20] i can't get a resolution over 640 x 480 now but at least it's not blurry right now ugh my brain [08:21] Heheh yeah i just delt with that.... some how trying to test my sounds froze my machine and when i reboted wouldnt let me go past 640 480 [08:22] good morning, anyone here who can tell me what the system requirements are of the Kubuntu KDE4 8.04?

[08:39] right click the menu and hit edit menu [08:39] Flannel: ikonia : maybe I missed something, I will check again, but I removed several kernels and they still show up on my boot menu [08:39] ikonia: i want something that looks like gparted or so [08:39] knut_: no then [08:39] vertisvas: How did you remove them? [08:39] :) [08:39] sorsis: in monitor resolution settings it says unknown, but it's set to the native resolution but i'm not sure what the resolution is [08:40] Flannel: I removed them via synaptic [08:40] unitedpotsmokers, my previous comment was for you [08:40] vertisvas: hmm, well, it should remove them. If they're still there, let me know and we'll take a look at everything. [08:40] sorsis: when i press the menu button on the front of the monitor it says 87hz but there is no option for 87hz in the resolution settings in ubuntu [08:40] ikonia: i have 220gb partition and 2 gb RAM on the laptop and i m using livesession for resizing the parttion. And partition has 45 gb of free space and i am extracting a 30 gb partion from it. Now what do u think how much will it take??? [08:40] help !help [08:40] Try this again. I have no sound.... Ubuntu detects that I have a soudn card but wont list it as installed. I belive that the ALSA drivers are up-to-date and installed correctly. When I try to open mixer(gstreamr) tells me I dont have right plugins/ sound card not configured. alsamixer: function snd_ctl_open failed for default: No such file or directory [08:40] ikonia, where do i find the fstab file? [08:40] knut_: /etc [08:41] digitalfallacy: why u wanna know that [08:41] ikonia : thx [08:41] indian_munnda: no idea, it depends [08:41] digitalfallacy: its not a ordinary chatr channel [08:41] thanks drog , but when i right click in wine section, nothing happen... [08:41] unitedpotsmokers: you can go to System > Preferences > Main Menu to edit the menu [08:41] ANYONE HAVE ANY IDEA?? i have 220gb partition and 2 gb RAM on the laptop and i m using livesession for resizing the parttion. And partition has 45 gb of free space and i am extracting a 30 gb partion from it. Now what do u think how much will it take??? [08:42] Hi, I got a new computer yesterday (new for me) [08:42] sorsis: it seems like the refresh rate is wrong but it only gives me one option and it says monitor unknown [08:42] jp91: your problem seems quite surreal since afaik old screens should get blurry from the sides and be quite sharp from the midle. [08:42] indian_munnda: the time it takes depends on variety of factors and is nearly impossible to calculate, your question will not be answered [08:42] But it's a graphic-card in the computer [08:42] does it work with linux? [08:42] Greger: what model is it? [08:43] Greger: you mean integrated GPU? [08:43] indian_munnda: don't use caps lock, we don't need to see captial letters to read [08:43] ikonia: can u assist me a lil because im trying to edit the fstab by gedit.... [08:43] knut_: what do you want to do ? [08:43] ikonia: it stopped and said that there is some error [08:43] sorsis i don't think the driver ubuntu is using for this computer is the right one [08:43] ziroday, I dont know. It's win xp on [08:43] indian_munnda: ok, so we need to know the error [08:43] ikonia: i want to add my ntfs drives to autmatically mounted [08:43] knut_: ok, that should be quite straight forward [08:44] thanks ziroday it is work..! [08:44] Greger: well we need to know what type of graphics card it is to check :), you can try out the livecd and see if it has any issues [08:44] Zambezi: dxdiag says: Intel(R) 82815 Graphics Controller [08:44] when a programme sleeped how can i week it up? [08:44] now the linuxqq is oftern sleeping , [08:44] how can i week it up? [08:44] sorsis: i had this same problem on a newer machine that had an nvidia card and the screen was blurry until i installed the nvidia drivers [08:44] knut_: you need to copy the line for your / file system, change the uuid to the id of your ntfs disk, and change the file system dtiver from ext3 to ntfs-3g [08:44] Greger: that card will work great in linux [08:44] zaggynl: Main driver i81xdnt5.dll [08:44] indian_munnda : you new here ?? [08:44] simple: linuxqq i for achlinux [08:44] ikonia: puh.... :) sounds like hard work [08:44] knut_: 30 seconds work [08:44] ikonia: for me [08:44] bonjour! [08:45] :) [08:45] Zambezi: Okay, it didn't look like that when i tried to boot ubuntu live. [08:45] /sigh I sopose its off to another 14 horus of no sound work for me XD [08:45] networkmanager do not show the wireless, i have edited the /etc/network/interface? [08:45] hmm I did a search in synaptic and it looks like I forgot to remove a component of each kernel, whoops, fixed [08:45] Greger: what issues did you get, note my nick is ziroday :) [08:45] ikonia: you suggest doing it in terminal? [08:45] knut_: any text editor [08:45] ikonia: because i need to find out the ids? [08:45] wartalke1: generally, you shouldnt need to with NM - does ifconfig / iwconfig show your wireless interface? [08:46] ziroday: sorry, wrong tab.. [08:46] I installed new open office 3 on my gfs laptop but it seems to be installed in /opt/openoffice3/.... and not accesible via the menu. my gf is complaining, which I can understand. Why is openoffice 3 not inthe repos and if I install it is not in the menus. [08:46] when a program sleeping how can I wake it up? [08:46] simple: linuxqq is for achlinux [08:46] ikonia: it says an error occured while applying operation,see details for more information [08:46] Greger: no problem, the card should work fine under linux but you said you had some issues with it in the livecd, what were they? [08:46] indian_munnda: need more information [08:46] gandalfcome: It's not in the archives because 1) It's new 2) we're in freeze. [08:47] linuxqq is for achlinux ? [08:47] I don't understand [08:47] simple: do you mean the package builder ? [08:47] ikonia: nope, they have ubuntu packages http://im.qq.com/qq/linux/download.shtml [08:47] ziroday: First of all I had to little memory but the screen resolution must have been very low [08:47] can be that [08:47] simple: please see http://im.qq.com/qq/linux/help.shtml to get help from the linuxqq developers [08:47] ziroday: ithis is what I'm trying to understand what he wants [08:47] !info linuxqq [08:47] Package linuxqq does not exist in hardy [08:47] !info linuxqq intrepid [08:47] Package linuxqq does not exist in intrepid [08:48] o,I 'll see [08:48] Anyone know where any good newbie tutorials are for booting both ubuntu and vista? [08:48] ikonia: unfortunatly the site is all in chinese and my chinese is extremely rudimentary [08:48] !dualboot > a1len [08:48] a1len, please see my private message [08:48] !dualboot | alle [08:48] alle: Dual boot instructions: x86/AMD64: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsDualBootHowTo - MACs: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBookPro https://help.ubuntu.com/community/YabootConfigurationForMacintoshPowerPCsDualBoot [08:48] Is there a good client use with LastFM ? [08:48] Mez:the wireless work, but the networkmanager does not show the wireless, and i have to use manual configuration to connect, and after that, the /etc/network/interface has changed. [08:48] Mez: It's now a week old, but debs have existed for very long time (of course only beta or rc but you could see whats it is doing from there). what do you mean by freeze? [08:48] Greger: well please try again and feel free to ask again here [08:48] newlife: the last fm client works [08:48] newlife: amarok has good support for it. [08:48] newlife: you can use banshee [08:49] where can i get a complete overview of my partition system? IDs and so on [08:49] gandalfcome: we tend not to package RC stuff, and debs from upstream dont get into ubuntu, ubuntu/debian have to package it ourselves [08:49] !intrepid > sorsis [08:49] sorsis, please see my private message [08:49] ikonia: You mean the one from LastFM website? [08:49] thanks >ikonia [08:49] newlife: foobar2000!!! [08:49] !msgthebot | sorsis [08:49] sorsis: Please investigate with me only with "/msg ubottu Bot" or in #ubuntu-bots. Search for factoids with "/msg ubottu !search factoid". [08:49] newlife: yes [08:49] !uuid | knut_ [08:49] knut_: To see a list of your devices/partitions and their corresponding UUID's, run this command in a !shell: « sudo blkid » (see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LibAtaForAtaDisks for the rationale behind the transition to UUID) [08:50] aren't I supposed to be able to change resolution settings using sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg ? [08:50] !pastebin [08:50] My video is not getting shown with proper colours .... What can be the problem ??? [08:50] 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) [08:50] ikonia: Hadn't tried it yet - will give it a whirl - also have Banshee installed on here as well. [08:50] I just see the help [08:50] simple: read the help [08:50] !ubottu [08:50] 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 === freaky[t] is now known as freaky_t [08:51] but it din't mention the bug [08:51] simple: linuxqq is nothing to do with ubuntu - contact the people who make it [08:51] simple: ubuntu doesn't make it / support it [08:51] rdw200169: foobar2000 - Is this a media player ? Haven't heard of this... [08:51] simple: that program is (from what I can tell) proprietary, you need to get support from them [08:51] ikonia: see this is the error report http://paste.ubuntu.com/59608/ [08:52] newlife: you can get the lastfm client by doing sudo apt-get install lastfm [08:52] indian_munnda: you need to boot into windows and do a chkdisk on the windows partition first [08:52] newlife: have you tried amarok? [08:52] ziroday: Ahh - I can do this - easy stuff - Thanks :o) [08:52] ikonia: then will it be partitioned [08:53] indian_munnda: you can try to repartition it once you've chkdisk'd it [08:53] ok [08:53] going to do it now [08:53] Mez: Running Gnome in Hardy - Tried it before but had allot issues with it - Better for KDE I believe. Thanks [08:54] hey, i've been losing my feed when playing flash movies recently, any ideas? [08:54] newlife: it works well inb Gnome too... I'm (currently, due to dislike of KDE4) running gnome myself... no issues at all [08:54] Mez: to compete with windows. these big opensource packages should be added into ubuntu a few days later, even if they are upstream. My GF says, on windows I could just download and install the new version and, its hard to compete with that :D. Isn't it possible to make a temporary solution until the new version comes out? [08:55] gandalfcome: don't talk nonsense [08:55] reeeh2000: what do you mean by feed? [08:55] Sheesh; Ubuntu sure stores a lot of crap in one's home dir. I'm going to have to stop backingn it up. [08:55] ikonia: what? [08:55] that's right, folks, foobar2000 works in ubuntu [08:55] ziroday, the download stream [08:55] cjs: such as ? [08:56] :) [08:56] and it smacks the snot out of amarok, exaile, xmms, etc... [08:56] reeeh2000: that is most probably an issue with either your internet connection or the server on the other end [08:56] gandalfcome: create a menu link for what you've installed? [08:56] ziroday: i still have internet, thr stream just stops randomly [08:56] yeah [08:56] !offtopic | rdw200169 [08:56] rdw200169: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [08:56] reeeh2000: you mean the video is still loading? [08:56] Try this again. I have no sound.... Ubuntu detects that I have a soudn card but wont list it as installed. I belive that the ALSA drivers are up-to-date and installed correctly. When I try to open mixer(gstreamr) tells me I dont have right plugins/ sound card not configured. alsamixer: function snd_ctl_open failed for default: No such file or directory [08:56] ziroday: no, it just stops [08:57] reeeh2000: and refuses to resume? [08:57] ziroday: but everything else still goes [08:57] Mez: Not sure - but tried Amarok - and had problems - Really do like it - Used to use it quite a bit when I was running a different distro. Pretty well settled in on Hardy. [08:57] ziroday: yeah, i have to refresh to restart [08:57] reeeh2000: which video are you trying to watch? Also what version of flash do you have? [08:57] newlife: what kind of problems? [08:57] ziroday: foobar2000 is a music player [08:57] Hm. Firefox cache. Firefox urlclassifier3.sqlite. Etc. Etc. === Adler is now known as HB9TWF [08:58] cjs: so thats not ubuntu - thats filefox [08:58] ziroday: any flash video on the web does it, including sites like youtube and adultswim [08:58] My home dir, which has about 15 MB of "my stuff" in it (including a lot of configuration I keep in subversion) is 165 MB. [08:58] ziroday; i was referring to newlife 's convo [08:58] ikonia: s/l/r/ [08:58] reeeh2000: have you recently updated your flash version? [08:58] ziroday: i think i have the non-free fl;ash [08:58] ikonia, you can say that about anything: "It's not ubuntu; it's gnome." or whatever. [08:59] ziroday: unless it was a ubuntu update, no [08:59] The point is, it seems that in the general case, when I use Ubuntu, I can expect to have a lot of stuff that one doesn't really want to back up in my home dir. [08:59] cjs: firefox would store it's information such as cache in your home directory on linux/windows/mac, so it's nothing to do with ubuntu [08:59] cjs: just dont backup dotfiles/folders [09:00] Formally, I always just backed up the whole thing daily. Now, I think I probably don't want to do that. [09:00] Where would you think user settings should be stored [09:00] cjs: and backing up config is VERY useful [09:01] Mez: thats what I'm going to do, but this only works if people know that it installs in /opt/.... and that it doesnt just create links. I'm suggesting making it easier for newbies to get new opensource software packages like openoffice. I guess that is one of the widest used opensource packages. well anyway, not having to have a virus scanner and a quick os will hopefully convince her to stay on ubuntu :D [09:01] Mez, indeed. Keeping it in revision control is even more useful. [09:01] !offtopic | gandalfcome [09:01] gandalfcome: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [09:01] Mez: Might try it again - I can't recall issues I had as of now - Maybe was missing some dependencies - not sure - might reinstall again - this is a new install of Hardy - I blew up my last Hardy I was using since it came out with the final version. Had allot junk installed - this is going to be a simpler install this time, if know what I mean.... [09:01] ikonia: its not offtopic [09:01] anyone here tried to setup mutt with gmail? [09:01] And actually, a backup containing all one's config, and cache files, and all sorts of other random junk is less useful; it makes things harder to sort out. [09:01] gandalfcome: it is [09:02] gandalfcome: yeah, that's the fault of the OOo packagers though. This is why it takes time for ubuntu - quality control. We only opackage stable stuff [09:02] ikonia: no. and i'm not talking to you but to mez. [09:02] gandalfcome: your talking to the channel about it - it's offtopic [09:03] Anyway, everybody's real quiet over on the firefox channel; does anybody here have any thoughts on how I can get my firefox bookmarks into revision control? I used to just keep a cleaned-up version of bookmarks.html in subversion. [09:03] Well, and other parts of firefox config, too, ideally. [09:03] any vim plugin for 'html"? [09:03] cjs: FF doesnt use a .html file anymore. It uses sqlite [09:03] Right. [09:04] Hm. Maybe I can dump that db, filter out the history, and keep only the bookmarks? [09:04] Mez: I didnt mean including betas or rcs, im talking about the final release (the 13th of oct one). So if OOo would make a ubuntu package you would include it or not? [09:05] Mez: Or is it olicy to compile it from source? [09:05] z0r, what do you mean by that? mutt does not handle receiving/sending of mail directly. it's just a mail reader/composer/organizer [09:05] ziroday: Got the LastFM aptget - looks pretty good - thanks for tip..... [09:05] gandalfcome: ubuntu developers will package the software they believe it stable for you [09:06] gandalfcome: It's policy for it to be compiled from source on our buildds... so a debian packager or an ubuntu packager has to make a package, ubuntu specific patches have to be applied, etc etc. PLUS, intrepid is near release. We froze a month ago. Please, feel free to go consult the developer documentation [09:06] newlife: have fun :) [09:06] actually, probably more than a month ago [09:07] Mez: will openoffice 3 come on hardy? after intrepids release? [09:07] could someone help me fix my blurry resolution problem [09:07] ziroday: Yup - thats what ubuntu is all about - lots of new adventures - computing is fun again. [09:07] gandalfcome: hardy is before intrepid. Only security updates are applied to older versions of ubuntu [09:08] gandalfcome: we actually froze back in june... [09:08] gandalfcome: prove security problems in hardys open office and you might get open office 3 to it [09:08] sorsis: I guess thats a way :D [09:09] gandalfcome: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/TimeBasedReleases <-- please read, this conversation is getting beyond the scope of this channel. [09:09] ziroday, I used google and found linux drivers RPM :o [09:09] For my gfx [09:10] hi [09:10] my screen is only blurry running ubuntu from the hdd, not from the live cd === Dr_WiLlIS is now known as Dr_Willis [09:10] Greger: drivers for your card are already packaged and should be automatically installed for you card, I strongly discourage you from downloading and using random drivers [09:11] my screen is only clear in 800 x 600 resolution, but my native resolution is 1600 x 1200 [09:11] jp91: read /etc/xorg.conf to compare display settings and find the difference. [09:11] jp91: are you sure that you sreen is fine with those resolutions in windows? [09:11] Mez: This suggestion adding OO3 as soon as it comes out (creating an exception). wheres the best place to discuss this? Is there a suggestion box ;-) [09:11] am i online [09:12] sorsis yes, and this monitor is clear hooked up to my laptop also [09:12] gandalfcome: you can vote for your idea on ubuntu brainstorm at brainstorm.ubuntu.com [09:12] wartalker: no [09:12] Are minor spelling corrections welcomed in the documentation? If so, does one report them here: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu-doc/+bugs ? (excuse duplicate question from #ubuntu-doc) [09:12] ziroday: but isn't that a 3d card? [09:12] Once you dual-boot ubuntu and vista, do you have to reinstall programs like java, firefox and python onto ubuntu. or is there a way to transfer them? [09:12] Greger: yes, and the drivers are installed automatically for it [09:12] in ubuntu? [09:12] gTea: We're unfortunately past string freeze for Intrepid, but please file it so it can be fixed for Jaunty. [09:12] a1len: you have to reinstall them [09:13] gandalfcome: read what the exceptions are generally for - please, I'm not here to do your research for you, your answer has been given. [09:13] siro: thanks [09:13] hi all, what programm is best, pidgin or xchat? [09:13] ааа [09:13] a1len: They are completely different formats, so you'll need to reinstall. [09:13] !best > Virus [09:13] Virus, please see my private message [09:13] врот мне ноги))) [09:13] ok [09:13] jp91: i think that you display device has to be tweaked to remember some sreen sharpnes settings for your wanted resolution, refresrate and bitrate setting. [09:13] Greger: yes in ubuntu the graphic drivers for your card are automatically installed [09:14] man whats with the busybox error i get when trying to install ubuntu 8.10?

[09:14] gandalfcome: and the final freeze was 3 days ago. It's bugfixes and ONLY bugfixes now [09:14] Very minimal bugfixes, at that. [09:15] Mez: okay [09:15] I just bought a new high precision 4 way scroll mouse and I can't get all the features to work with Ubuntu. Is there any way I can get ubuntu to scroll sideways and read the extra buttons on the mouse?

[09:18] Got all the packages installed XD some one telling me they took it out of ubuntu "alsaconfig" === Kwitschibo_ is now known as Kwitschibo [09:18] redDEAD: Yea for the most part.

A friend of mine just installed ubuntu and he's wondering whether it's possible to change "locale settings" in a gui instead of changing directly in cfg files? Also, does ubuntu 8.04 comes with a default irc client please? [09:20] alanbshepard77, scroll sideway is usually program specific [09:20] they are mpg files [09:20] ziroday: ^ [09:20] tzd: the default irc client is pidgin [09:20] anyone? doesn't (sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg) usually have options to configure the video resolution, etc. [09:20] jp91: no [09:21] jp91: it's dynamic now [09:21] tzd: you can change locale in System > Administration > Language [09:21] hharvey: okay, have you installed the .mpg codec? [09:21] jp91: xrandr is the prefererd way now [09:21] ziroday: I dont think so, I never needed a codec before [09:21] jp91: Does System->Preferences->Screen Resolution not give the right options? [09:22] ziroday: i see... any plans on implementing a dedicated irc client? [09:22] tzd: no [09:22] wgrant: everything is blurry unless i have it on 800 x 600 [09:22] redDEAD: Well the touchpad now side scrolls but my new optical mouse won't/can't do it. The mouse does have the 4 way scroll feature [09:22] ziroday: and that doesn't just change the language? It also changes currency etc? [09:22] Hello [09:22] audifahrer: hi! [09:23] My Ubuntu HH networking broken...after a purged fresh install of samba...sudo nautilus then sharing folder, i get this: 'net usershare' returned error 255: net usershare add: cannot convert name "Everyone" to a SID. Logon failure. any clues please? This is infuriating =) [09:23] hharvey: try install the package ubuntu-restricted-extras and see if it works after that [09:23] When installing java, do you need the add the /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun/bin to the $PATH or is this not nessecary? [09:23] tzd: correct [09:23] nobody can help me [09:23] has anyone an idea when cairomm in ubuntu is updated to a newer one? [09:23] !anyone > gidna [09:23] gidna, please see my private message [09:23] jelle: when you install the package it should be all done for you [09:23] ziroday: great, thanks! He was moaning about this issue so now i can tell him hopw superior linux is to windows haha :) [09:23] I have 1.4.2, but need 1.4.4 [09:24] which ubuntu like [PC (Intel x86) desktop CD] or [64-bit PC (AMD64) desktop CD] shall i download to get 64-bit ubuntu to run under core 2 duo [09:24] audifahrer: maybe with the enxt release [09:24] gidna: what was your problem again? [09:24] tzd: no problem. have fun! [09:24] Ujjwol: amd64 [09:24] ikonia, where does it do that? I'm setting my env vars in the /etc/environment file [09:24] audifahrer: Ubuntu 8.10 will have cairomm 1.6.4 [09:24] jelle: when you apt-get/synaptic the package it should set it up with symlinks [09:24] the sound level is low respect the usual.. but the barr is at the maximum [09:25] gidna: can you explain more? [09:25] wgrant: is there an easy way to replace 1.4.2 with 1.4.4 without installing it over the package from source [09:25] ? [09:25] anyone with a good gui html website creator please? Had one before but can't remember what it was called. Pretty simple program but perfect for my needs. [09:25] ikonia, the softlinks are ok, but the vars aren't ok, i can call java from my terminal when I add the bin folder from java to the path, else it cannot find it [09:25] tzd: nvc [09:25] audifahrer: No. Why do you need it? [09:25] tzd: kompozer? [09:26] kompozer!!! yes you saved me once again ziroday :D [09:26] ikonai, even for intel 64 -bit [09:26] audifahrer: thanks for your help :) [09:26] Ujjwol: yes [09:26] r u sure [09:26] jelle: that's quite worrying [09:26] Ujjwol: yes [09:26] tzd: hm, the name was similar, but maybe not nvc [09:26] ok [09:26] jelle: look at /etc/alternatives and look at what's setup for java [09:26] the sound level is very low I don't know how to rise it === Ujjwol is now known as Anurag [09:26] gidna: did anything change since this happened? [09:27] is there any way to download the totem bbc plugin of ubuntu InterpidIblex and install in hardy [09:27] Ubuntu HH networking broken...after a purged fresh install of samba...sudo nautilus then share folder, i get this: 'net usershare' returned error 255: net usershare add: cannot convert name "Everyone" to a SID. Logon failure. any clues please? Cant see anything else on net at all unless i use IP addresses [09:27] gidna: or has it always been this way? [09:27] I don't see anymore the update icon.. [09:27] langleyo: Please repeat your question less often. [09:27] ziroday: k ty my problem has been solved...one more question...does my dvd drive need a driver in order for it to recognize my dvds [09:27] Anurag no [09:27] No since yestarday [09:27] tzd: nvu was the name [09:27] wgrant: mapnik from SVN [09:27] hharvey: yes its in the package libdvdcss2 [09:28] ikonia, I think i found the root of my problem there [09:28] gidna, you may try to bring up the mixer interface (right click on the volume control) and make sure the channels "master" _and_ "pcm" are set to maximum [09:28] !dvd > hharvey [09:28] hharvey, please see my private message [09:28] audifahrer: ah ok, well i've found the program i was using (kompozer) but thanks anyway! [09:28] ikonia, the softlink is pointing at the wrong folder [09:28] velko, good call [09:28] jelle: there we go [09:28] Hi and good morning to every one. A few questions if you dont mind. I have ubuntu 8.04 will it update to the new version 8.10 on its own when its stable. or do i have to reinstall ubuntu again, also if i download 8.10 now on a other computer when its stable will it update as well and last question sorry, i installed 8.04 on a pc and after boot it has starange lines all over the screen lots of questions sorry [09:28] gidna: the master volume (or PCM volume) might be low [09:28] hharvey: you might wnat to read this https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RestrictedFormats [09:28] gidna: they're usually related [09:28] ikonia, what does the alternatives folder do exactly? [09:29] gidna: and the volume applet on the taskbar will only adjust one of them [09:29] at Sound preferences? [09:29] jelle: map versions to commands eg: you could have 4 vesions of java installed, this tells you which to use, or if you have sendmail/postfix/exim installed it will say which mta to use [09:29] doubleclick the volume applet to fix it [09:29] MrD1: answer to your first few is that yes, when the new release of ubuntu comes out you can update to it [09:29] gidna: yeah, just double click the speaker icon on the taskbar [09:30] ziroday, thank you [09:30] gidna: and make sure all the appropriate volume levels are up [09:30] ikonia, that makes it even more clear why it failed, netbeans suddenly added java5 to my system, and probably changed it there [09:30] how come displayconfig-gtk wont save my screen setting? [09:30] ikonia, then I removed the java5 but I did not changed it there === socketbind is now known as szalonna [09:31] jp91: did you sacrifice the live animal and do the rain dance as it says in the manual ? [09:31] One last thing before I do this. On the tutorials that I read it doesn't say anything about what to do with the vista partition after you back it up onto a cd. Is it safe to just delete the backup saved on the partition altogether? [09:31] ikonia, thanks [09:32] look here http://img356.imageshack.us/my.php?image=screenshotma1.png [09:32] i've been working on this for almost 8 hours and my eyes are dying [09:32] it seems to be at the maximum [09:32] if it were as simple as a sacrifice and a rain dance i would be done [09:32] jp91: :-) [09:33] gidna: go to Edit and click all the options [09:33] jp91: put the settings in xorg.conf [09:33] gidna: in preferences [09:33] jp91: ....then sacrifice , I know its a newbie mistake [09:34] gidna: and thanks for the Screenshot; makes things easy! [09:34] FEDORA is far more better than ubuntu [09:34] ok [09:34] far more better is poor englsh [09:34] was the pcm absent [09:35] Anurag: just bend over...so we can get this over with [09:35] Anurag, goodie for you.. [09:35] now it's ok [09:35] gidna: is everything fixed??? [09:35] tab_shift: in xorg.conf it's all there.. still at the login screen i can only see part of the screen area, it looks zoomed in, until i log in and the resolution is right but it's all blurry, ugh [09:35] yes thank you [09:35] gidna: excellent! [09:36] could anyone explain why cairomm-1.4.2 is libcairomm-1.0-1 in ubtuntu [09:37] cairon is a library. [09:37] *cairo [09:37] how long do i leave before posting my question again lest it gets forgotten please? i need a samba guru! sorry dont mean to be pushy i know youre busy=) [09:37] it's a different resolution every time i log in :/ [09:37] Hello! I just installed a fresh Hardy and gnome-keyboard-properties is not functioning well; I can add new kbd layouts BUT they are uneffective, ie not taken in account [09:38] jp91: have you tried dpkg-reconfigure -plow xserver-xorg [09:39] lepine: sure, but where is the version number in the source package. There is only one source package with number 1.4.2 [09:39] tab_shift: so many times, it doesn't give me any options to configure the graphics [09:40] what can i safely delete to save space on my file system [09:40] tab_shift: except for the first question (Use kernel framebuffer device interface?) [09:40] jp91: have you tried dpkg-reconfigure -plow xserver-xorg , try it with -plow now [09:40] tab_shift: the rest of the questions are mostly about the keyboard.. is that normal? [09:41] tab_shift: i tried that and it's still the same, a whole lot of questions about configuring the keyboard [09:41] any recommendations [09:42] jp91: output of xrandr -q [09:42] devslashnull, you better first find out what is eating your space. use something like baobab for example to pinpoint the space eaters and after that decide what to remove [09:43] well i am using an eeepc so i only have 4GB of total space and i am at 87% disk used [09:43] devslashnull, found the culpret. It's this "Ubuntu" thing [09:44] dgjjk [09:44] :p [09:44] devslashnull, you can delete safely old log files for example. but you'll gain something only if their are big enough [09:44] Stupendoussteve: no bashing ubuntu [09:44] tab_shift i pasted that in a pm [09:45] how to register nickname? [09:45] rdw200169, there was no bashing. It installs a lot and takes up space, not so good on a small filesystem [09:45] Lilinallte: /nickserv register password [09:45] jp91: got it mate, just a min. [09:45] Stupendoussteve: what about ubuntu mobile [09:45] tnx [09:46] Nice never seen that [09:46] Stupendoussteve: http://www.eeebuntu.org/ [09:46] how come xorg.conf lists my monitor correctly but in system/preferences/screen resolution it has a big "unknown" over the image of the monitor where the real name should be? [09:46] jp91: try switching to the highest resolution via xrandr then report back [09:47] tab_shift what is xrandr? [09:48] hi all [09:48] toomai: howdy! [09:48] anyone got a lenovo thinpad x200 with x4500 graphics running with intrepid (or hardy)? It runs, but it looks a tad blurry (its only 1024x768, could be better) [09:49] my nautilus is broken (broken = When i change a directory, it crashes) [09:49] jp91: X now auto detects everything, so to change the resolution type xrandr in a command prompt [09:50] hao [09:50] velko, i ran disk analyzer and it shows /usr is using 1.7GB [09:50] Goood morning :-) - How can I upgrade the installed fcpci on ubuntu from "does not support faxing" to full-featured ? [09:50] devslashnull, yep. but don't delete anything there [09:50] i know [09:50] Добрый день, может ктонибуть знает в чем проблема? поставил на ubuntu server 8.04 apt-cacher на 3142 порт c удаленных машин на этот порт не подключается=( посидел почитал форум не укого подобной проблемы небыло =( [09:50] tab_shift is there a command? when i enter xrandr it lists the same thing i pasted to you a minute ago [09:50] devslashnull: you could probably uninstall stuff you don't use [09:50] no [09:50] jp91: xrandr -q [09:50] !ru > gadsok [09:51] gadsok, please see my private message [09:51] yes [09:51] jp91: thats the info i wanted in the first place [09:51] jp91: xrandr -mode 1600x1200 [09:51] jp91: otherwise see the man xrandr i don't remember exactly [09:52] Does anyone have a second for a few quick questions about the Ubuntu Artwork Wiki? [09:52] jp91: which gfx card do you have ? [09:53] Newhoa: I have a second, but I know nothing about it. :-) [09:53] Haha [09:53] Newhoa: you may find more in-tune people in #ubuntu-artwork [09:53] Newhoa: but what do you want to know... "topic says" don't ask to ask, just ask... [09:54] oh, topic doesn't say that anymore [09:54] I tried ubuntu-artwork and didn [09:54] tab_shift it's an oldie, 82845g integrated intel extreme [09:54] 't get a response [09:54] I'm just kind of new to it. I wasn't sure if just anyone can edit it. [09:54] Newhoa if your signed up should be ble to [09:55] Like if I had a comment or whatever, would I just edit the wiki to include my comment? [09:55] Newhoa: you just create an account [09:55] Newhoa: and edit away, that's kinda the point to WIki's [09:55] Or if I wanted to add a remix to an existing submission, would I just attach it and edit the wiki to include it? [09:56] Cool! I wasn't sure if I needed to be part of the Artwork team or on the mailing list or whatever. I mean, I know I CAN, but I wasn't sure if I should! [09:56] #ubuntu-offtopic [09:56] Newhoa: if it's helpful i don't see why it would be a problem [09:57] i have 2 folders in /usr/src named linux-headers-2.6.27-7 and linux-headers-2.6.27-7-headers. which is the one i need to keep ? [09:57] devslashnull: your using ubuntu 8.10 [09:57] jp91: could it be a bug like this https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-intel/+bug/212206 [09:57] Newhoa: just don't change pages that have a notice on them that beg you not to change them [09:57] devslashnull: ubuntu 8.10 support is in the #ubuntu+1 channel [09:57] Hi all [09:57] no 8.04 [09:57] jp91: check if its fixed in latest X, i.e intrepid [09:57] devslashnull, do you compile your kernel or kernel modules for your kernel for yourself? [09:57] devslashnull: 8.04 doesnt have a 2.6.27 kernel [09:57] any body configured Exchange 2007 on Evolution??? [09:57] Ok, thanks you guys! [09:58] In infra-recorder, I can get away with only allocating the smallest amount of space because the Ubuntu file isn't that big, right? [09:58] Hey, how do I get rid of the little network icon in the what's-it-called area in my toolbar? [09:58] tab_shift I did xrandr -s 1856x1392 and it got even more blurry i almost can't read text [09:58] velko, ikonia i am using an eee pc with 2.6.27-7 [09:58] how do u install new drivers in ubuntu?? [09:58] devslashnull: show me "lsb_release -a" [09:58] Ah, the "notification area." [09:58] jp91: this is probably a known xorg issue, try the latest release to see if they fixed it [09:59] cjs: sudo apt-get remove network-manager [09:59] sysk: you shouldn't need to [09:59] cjs: unselect is in sessions [09:59] devslashnull, if you don't compile the kernel or kernel modules you can deinstall the kernel source packages (which installed these folders) [09:59] Wow, that's pretty hash. (The apt-get remove, I mean.) [09:59] cjs; that gets rid of anything that has to do with that application [09:59] is there a how-to or prefered way to setup WINE to use the dlls/etc from my windows partition? or is that not really needed? (i'm just starting to get some of my windows apps running, and some stuff is acting up...).... I am, however, paying for / using Cedega for a couple games (this is my first exposure to it) [09:59] velko no lsb modulls description: ubuntu 8.04 release: 8.04 codename: hardy [09:59] tab_shift i just downloaded ubuntu from the ubuntu website today and updated after installing [09:59] cjs: it's just a garbage front end to ifconfig [10:00] right now i'm just trying to get pain to run, and i'm not sure if it's mad that it doesn't have some native DLLs or if it's some kind of 32/64bit conflict [10:00] cjs; it works ok for wireless, but that's about it [10:00] tab_shift i still need the latest release of xorg from somewhere? [10:00] cjs i got rid of it ages ago [10:00] devslashnull: I find that very dubious, as it should say 8.04.1 release [10:00] devslashnull, this was ikonia's question. i don't care about it. i was asking you something completely different [10:01] any idea about configuring Exchange 2007 with Evolution [10:01] cjs: unless you do a lot of wireless roaming, it's kinda pointless [10:01] jp91: XORG releases are very far stretched, you'll need to try the bete/testing version LIVEcd , copy the image to a usb drive etc [10:01] ikonia, obviously he has the preinstalled version on the eee pc. maybe customized ubuntu install [10:01] jp91: there is however a PPA available here https://launchpad.net/~xorg-edgers/+archive [10:01] velko: I doubt that as 2.6.27 is too new [10:01] cjs: System -> Administration -> Network does the same thing [10:02] Right. Well, off it is. Had to kill the thing, too. [10:02] jayan: just configure imap and youare goog to go [10:02] cjs: as far as setting up ip's is concerned [10:02] It is a pretty rubbishy front-end, though the location stuff looks like it could be handy on a laptop. [10:02] tab_shift: let me try it [10:02] tab_shift did i mention i'm new to linux [10:03] cjs: it's got a ways to go... [10:03] velko, i tried compiling this kernel module but i guess i dont need it so no i dont need to compile it myself [10:03] Ok, and this is something that's also been bugging me; every time someone mentions my name in xchat, my cursor jumps to it. [10:03] cjs: you could try IRC with pidgin [10:03] i don't know what that webpage wants me to do tab_shift, this is way over my head now [10:03] I don't see any obvious setting in the xchat config; is this a gnome thing of some sort? [10:03] cjs: that's what i use [10:04] cjs: i don't get all the fancy IRC features Xchat has, but it's simple and conservative [10:04] hi [10:04] quit [10:04] devslashnull, if this is the case you can deinstall trough synaptic/apt-get/aptitude the kernel sources or headers. be careful not to remove the kernel image itself though ;-) [10:04] cjs: and has worked pretty well thus far [10:04] velko, where is the kernel image stored [10:05] devslashnull, /boot [10:05] velko, oh ok [10:05] Well, rather that switching programs, I wouldn't mind just getting rid of the one annoyance. [10:05] velko i have a 4GB sdhc card and i am moving it to there [10:05] tab_shift: i tried to configure using IMAP [10:05] cjs: i don't know then... [10:05] Pidgin has its own issues. [10:05] tab_shift: its giving me connection refused [10:06] cjs: try Vim's IRC then ! [10:06] my trackpad is not working properly.However when i connect an external mouse then the cursor works properly. what should i do? [10:06] devslashnull, do you know how to use synaptic? my suggestion is to use it for deinstallation instead of randomly deleting folders [10:06] are there any other "start' menu's besides the ubuntu "native" menu and the "vista/xp" clone that are worth looking into? i'm not thrilled with the default ubuntu one, and the vista/xp one is basically a image with links (it's not very modular).... just fishing for ideas on how to make it more relevant [10:06] cjs: http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=931 [10:07] Switching to and learning a whole new IRC program to fix one small problem seems overkill. [10:07] After all, I encounter another small problem there, and I'll just have to switch again. :-/ [10:07] cjs: so many options, darn this linux! [10:08] I'm thinking that this is probably gnome-related, since it didn't happen to me on my NetBSD+fvwm1 system. [10:08] cjs: it could be an obscure gconf optoin [10:08] cjs: *option [10:09] Yeah. gconf is a whole new world. [10:10] I wonder if it was the tray icon or taskbar blinking option? [10:12] how come when i click a link to download an rpm in firefox it tries to open in firefox as a video? this is a new installation [10:13] rp also stands for realplayer [10:14] so it thinks it a realplay file [10:14] jp91: just rightclick it and select save as [10:15] defrysk, i only have save link as [10:15] HI, PROBLEM: after i close blender, its interface stay on the screen, but when i click it's 'fake'. Any suggestion? [10:15] how can i reinstall my mouse forr hardy? [10:16] wtf [10:16] õìì [10:16] !ops flooding [10:16] Sorry, I don't know anything about ops flooding [10:16] what was that? [10:16] a fool [10:16] How do I get btnx to work? I've installed it and configured it for my mouse but the keys don't trigger an event like they're supposed to.

[10:23] velko, no, i know how to use strace. there was something about a standard list of things that are helpful when reporting a bug [10:23] i can't believe i think i've almost solved this problem but i can't get the rpm because firefox keeps trying to open it as a video [10:24] salut atous [10:24] unenough, http://www.ubuntu.com/community/reportproblem (find trough google, sigh) [10:24] quelqu'un [10:25] velko, no, i found that already.

[10:44] Dr_Willis: Ok I got btnx to work once. I reinstalled it and the config I tried using for one of the buttons worked until I tried to set the config for other buttons. I've tried reinstalling about but no dice [10:45] falstaff: That's good right, not a problem? [10:45] <|Dreams|> lol [10:45] rdw200169: do you know how to extract sound from ogg-video? [10:45] alanbshepard77, reinstallingis windows thinking :) sounds like its missconfigured.. if you remove it with the 'purge' option - that would remove all the system configs..but NOT the user configs [10:46] karex: reluctantly, no [10:46] cafuego ... no it is not good! I should be able to access my own website! [10:46] <|Dreams|> do you have flash installed [10:47] Dr_Willis: I never uninstalled I just reran the make lol. I know it seems stupid but when I configured it and tried to restart btnx using the button provided in btnx config it said not installed correctly and thats why I reinstalled. Then it worked, briefly. [10:47] does anyone use programming software for c++ under ubuntu ? [10:47] <|Dreams|> kdevelope is pretty good [10:47] alanbshepard77, make? oh you installed from source.. [10:48] alanbshepard77, could be some miss confgiured config now.. [10:48] What's the fileexplorer in Ubuntu called?

[10:50] Mr Lou there are several file manager applications for linux system PC man in system tools is good. [10:51] alanbshepard77: if you do source installs, at the very least run them through `checkinstall'. [10:51] falstaff: Yea, I could have just looked in the About popup. I just needed to do a sudo nautilus. Being used to thunar from Arch Linux. [10:51] can i use a gif as a wallpaper?:) [10:52] cafuego: Thanks for the suggestion but to be honest I have no idea what that is :-/ [10:52] Mr lou also if you go to places you can use the folder browser to move file from folder to folder. [10:54] alanbshepard77: It records what 'make install' does and packagaes the installed files into a .deb for easy management. [10:54] but why can't get myspace to recognise my username and password?? [10:55] cafuego: oh nice, sounds like something I need to really pay attention to, thanks. [10:56] What's a .avi player for ubuntu? [10:56] a good* [10:57] newlife→ i think Totem is nice. VLC is nice too. [10:57] how do i use .gif as a moving wallpaper?

[10:58] newlife→ just double click on the .avi file and in most cases you will be just fine [10:58] magnetron: Cool - I had forgotten about using VLC - one of my trusty stand by favs....... [10:58] Hey all [10:59] jimmie32: how's it goin?

I don't regret it :) [11:08] hateball→ Mr Big Arrow! [11:09] Can someone -please- help me with my problem ?

If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-) [11:10] I also have a dual-boot problem =) [11:10] Everywhere in google they talk about that ISDN doesnt work on ubuntu and that they switch to debian just bacause of this ! - I've been looking on it for weeks now !

I want to dual-boot. I can start Ubuntu just fine, but I have the "Hal.dll" problem when trying to start Windows. I have searched on Google for answers, but since I'm super new to Ubuntu, most are too cryptic for me. I need tailored help :-( [11:12] rockyrock→ some use Anjuta, but i haven't tried it [11:13] ikonia: what about anjuta [11:13] rockyrock: try it [11:13] When installing Ubuntu, you get the option to change the size of your patition for dual-boot. This fails for some reason and gives me an error message. Sizechange failed. [11:13] magnetron: somehow file just tells me that my file is a tex file. actually i knew that ;) [11:13] Fueled: that error is normally (not normally) associated with the windows partition not being defragged/chkdisked before partitioning for the ubuntu install [11:13] Fueled: using the windows repair cd will normally fix it [11:14] i would like to use gcc to compile the C files but i doesn't show any errors if the code contains errors! Does it? [11:14] thnx [11:14] ikonia: I did a Defrag just before installing Ubuntu, like suggetsed [11:14] rockyrock: of course it does [11:14] rockyrock: it shows warnings [11:14] magnetron: can you give me a hint? i looked at man but did not find the parameter i needed [11:14] klimy→ ok, then it's probably a TeX file. what more do you want to know about it? [11:14] rockyrock: it's a compiler [11:14] Fueled: thats the normal cause [11:14] WildSoft, i'm not very familiar with this but maybe you have to boot first into windows and defragment the partition you are trying to resize [11:14] magnetron: encoding. [11:14] I have installed with apt-get the kernel-headers and the restricted modules....then I copied the Fritz drivers to "/usr/src/AVM-Fritz/fcpci-3.11.07" and executed the make in there.

It should do it auto. [11:15] Fueled: boot is handled by grub now [11:15] ikonia: i doesn't with me!!! I tried to compile a file with a syntax error but it didn't show any warnings!

[11:15] connect irc.chatnet.ru/6667 [11:15] ikonia: but I read on forums that the boot.ini file is probably the problem [11:15] spazm: libncurses5-dev [11:15] is there some neat tool that does some guessing of file encodings? [11:15] klimy→ by default, text files in ubuntu are encoded utf-8 [11:16] ikonia: but I'm not able to edit it from within Ubuntu [11:16] magnetron: i downloaded the file. it is not utf8 [11:16] Fueled: possible, you need to boot ubuntu, mount your windows partition and look at the file [11:16] Fueled: you should be able to [11:16] WildSoft, maybe the partitions you resized successfully wasn't badly fragmented? just a guess though [11:16] ikonia: that's where I need help, since it's all new to me [11:16] * cafuego pokes jhesketh with a sharp shovel [11:16] can anyone help me with my wifi problem [11:16] Fueled: what part are you having issues [11:16] ikonia: Well, there is a Makefile....But it just points to itself ?? : "lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 35 2008-10-19 11:57 Makefile -> ../linux-headers-2.6.24-19/Makefile" [11:16] Danskmand: then there is no makefile [11:17] ikonia: Whats wrong there ? [11:17] klimy→ you can install the "uni2ascii" package [11:17] Danskmand: there is no makefile [11:17] ikonia: I can see the Windows drive in the "File Browser", but I can't see the boot.ini file [11:17] i have a realtek 8185 and it will not show [11:17] and hi to you cafuego [11:17] klimy→ "tcs" looks like a good tool too [11:17] Fueled: it's a hidden file normally [11:17] ikonia: even with "Show Hidden Files" enabled [11:17] Fueled: or it not being there maybe the problem [11:18] ikonia: how can i run the compiled file after the compliation? [11:18] rockyrock: ./ [11:18] rockyrock: it's a binary [11:18] ikonia: There are several files - init, ipc, kbuild, kernel and so on.....But they all are links and pointing to themselves [11:18] ikonia: the windows hidden files are not hidden under Linux [11:18] ikonia: ./hello-world?? like this only? === sk_ is now known as _sk [11:18] rockyrock: yup [11:18] Danskmand: then it's setup wrong [11:19] can anyone see my messages === sk_ is now known as _sk [11:19] nigeltatschner19: yes [11:19] ikonia: yeah, I'm pretty clueless as to why I can't see it [11:19] Fueled: maybe it's not there [11:19] velko: Thats the problem, it don't rezise it. When trying to in the Ubuntu installation it fails. Giving me an error message. An error has occured when writing to the disk. Sizechange has cancled - Something like that, translated from Swedish ^^ [11:19] ikonia: i compiled this file like this: gcc hello-world.c >> then i tried to run it using this command: ./hello-world >> and i got this: bash: ./hello-world: No such file or directory [11:20] !wifi > nigeltatschner19 [11:20] nigeltatschner19, please see my private message [11:20] man... emacs is so powerful, sometimes it even scares me... [11:20] rockyrock: does hello-world exist ? [11:20] rockyrock: it's normally outputing to a.out [11:20] WildSoft, i already saw your problem. ikonia asked you to repeat ;-) [11:20] how can something so mighty even exist? [11:20] ikonia: what would you suggest I do to recreate it? I already tried "bootcfg /rebuild" [11:20] ikonia: oh yeah it's a.out. How can i tell gcc to compile it with the name it has? [11:20] Fueled: someone in ##windows may be able to help rebuild it [11:20] klimy→ please join #ubuntu-offtopic , i want to discuss this with you [11:20] rockyrock: read up on how to use the compiler and c++ [11:21] ikonia: ok I'll look there [11:21] ikonia: where to read? [11:21] ikonia: thanks! [11:21] magnetron: emacs save the day... again ;) just needed C-uC-x= ;) [11:21] rockyrock: anywhere that teaches gcc/c++ [11:21] velko: I'm a bit slow atm. No breakfast =) [11:21] magnetron: thanks for your effort [11:21] klimy→ i still need to check out tcs [11:24] sorry for this silly question, but where is the /public_html folder (apache) in Ubuntu? [11:25] jimmie32: you have to make it [11:25] jimmie32: it's normally created in a users home dir [11:25] jimmie32: if your using mod_user dir [11:25] mod_user module sorry [11:25] is there a way to read a variables content from stdin on a shell without using "read" ? [11:25] I make a directory like /home/jimmie32/apache/ ? [11:25] jimmie32: /home/jimmie32/public_html [11:26] then? [11:26] icewaterman→ you can read command line arguments as $1 $2 etc [11:26] jimmie32: then what ? [11:26] ikonia: Do you have a hint for where to look whats wrong ? [11:26] magnetron: no, i need it from stdin [11:26] ikonia: I made a folder called /home/jimmie/public_html [11:26] like the user needs to type it# [11:26] Danskmand: read the docs [11:26] need help with virtualbox in ubuntu [11:27] then how I tell apache to use that folder? [11:27] jimmie32: great, if you've setup mod_userdir then your sorted, if not setup mod_userdir [11:27] how do I setup mod_userdir? [11:27] jimmie32: just enable the module [11:27] Lol! I had a GPU temp of 65 and a CPU temp of 53 in Idle.. I turned my computer over tried to loosen the lid to clean it...didnt find a matching screwdriver so I flipped it over again and now my CPU idle is 36 and my GPU is 54 [11:27] Weird! [11:28] Clockswork: why is that funny or anything to do with ubuntu ? [11:28] why ? [11:28] Got2: why what ? [11:28] need help with virtualbox on ubunut [11:28] sorry [11:28] bhavya: ask the question then [11:28] hi 2 all [11:29] i got iphone [11:29] ikonia: Oh, I'm sry. No there was a big dicussion here yesterday with temperatures so I guess I was stuck in that discussion.. sry [11:29] Having problem trying to run " X-CD-Roast " - Complains about " no root configuration file found, etc. " - Way to fix - or get running ? ? [11:29] is there any programs like microsof sam or just a text talking program native for ubuntu? [11:29] Clockswork: not weired at all. you should open the case for sure! [11:29] is it possible ubuntu mobile on my iphone ? [11:29] Got2: no [11:29] Got2 not yet [11:29] chilli00, festiville (spelling?) can do voices [11:30] okie thanks [11:30] festival [11:30] icewaterman: Yes I know but I didnt open it, couldnt find a matching screwdriver so I just turned it on again and just by doing that I lowered my idle temps by 10 degrees [11:30] !info festival [11:30] the project about ubuntu mobile not yet success ? [11:30] festival (source: festival): General multi-lingual speech synthesis system. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.96~beta-7ubuntu1 (hardy), package size 895 kB, installed size 2656 kB [11:31] Clockswork, you proberly knocked a dust bunny off... [11:31] ikonia: How do I enable it? :b [11:31] Got2: it doesn't work on the iphone yet [11:31] jimmie32: it should normally be enabled by default I believe [11:31] Dr_Willis: Think so to :P [11:31] ok thx bye [11:31] ikonia: I installed apache using sudo apt-get install apache2... [11:31] jimmie32: ok [11:31] Clockswork: yes, i know but thats just a side-effect: 1) your box got hot during use. 2) you turned it off, hence it cooled down. 3) you turn it on, everything seems fine, but if you start over heavy using it again, it will get hot again [11:31] ikonia: But its just not pointing to the /home/jimmie32/public_html/ [11:32] jimmie32: what do you mean it's not pointing [11:32] ikonia: It shows the "It works!" page and I can't replace it...where is that page located at? [11:32] X-CD_Roast will not run - no root config. error - any ideas ? [11:32] jimmie32: to use mod_userdir you use http://url/~$username [11:32] you probably dont see the effect because some dirt did break loose from the cooler and fell down but since it is not clean it will be as dirty as before in a matter of days [11:33] jimmie32: check out the docs on apache.org about how to use it / set it up [11:33] ikonia: want guests and host to be accessible via applications like ssh, vsftpd, etc [11:33] bhavya: you need to setup network bridging [11:33] jimmie32: you're looking for httpd.conf, the configuration file that'll let you change where apache is pointing. Or, you're looking for the place apache's pointing to, so you can just put your site there. [11:34] Dr_Willis i installed but i cant find it anywere === IVBela1 is now known as IVBela [11:34] jamesish: I'm looking for the place apache is pointing to... [11:34] ikonia: I googled around, but couldnt do that, any url to do that [11:34] ikonia: can you help me do that? [11:34] chilli00, check the package manager.. its a command line tool. there proberly some guis for it also. [11:34] Clockswork: because once there is a dust layer coating the cooler, new dust will easily append to that layer and cause your problem all-over again. wont take more than 1-2 weeks and it will stress your components way more than necessary over time. so clean your box up twice a year [11:34] o ok [11:35] chilli00, quick google hit -> http://www.xenocafe.com/tutorials/php/festival_text_to_speech/index.php [11:35] icewaterman: Allright, I'll go by a matching screwdriver today :) [11:35] ikonia:??? [11:35] jimmie32: I understand that you might not be familiar with apache, but I'm trying to be very clear here. Find the configuration file and read it. It's normally called httpd.conf. [11:35] icewaterman: but 43 degrees CPU idle tempereature isnt bad right? [11:35] bhavya: what ? [11:36] Clockswork: a side-effect might be, that the cooler will sound louder, because all the dust did absorb some of its sound [11:36] jimmie32: it's not httpd.conf in ubuntu [11:36] jamesish: these days it's called apache2.conf =) [11:36] icewaterman: I dont have a problem with fan noise :) [11:36] Clockswork: no, its perfectly ok, if it stays that way. [11:36] anybody know of a command on howto move the active window to the right,left,top or bottom to a specified amount, I tried wmctrl but that doesnt seem possible :( [11:36] Yup, I know it [11:36] ikonia: how to dridgind? I googled around but couldnt help myself [11:36] bhavya: bridging [11:36] ikonia: do you have any links [11:36] bhavya: no [11:36] icewaterman: I've only had this laptop for 5 months anyways [11:36] icewaterman: So I guess its time for my first cleaning [11:37] Pfft. apache2.conf. Why, in my day, we had real cream in ice cream, real sunshine coming up the fields in the morning, and we used FreeBSD, the OS apache is developed on, where it's called httpd.conf. Linux whippernsappers. [11:37] ikonia: can you help me bridging? [11:37] Clockswork: my old X850XT GPU is the loudest component of my entire box. i will soon replace it with the onboard graphics but until intrepid that one is not supported properly. [11:37] bhavya: no, there are docs on virtualbox's site [11:37] ikonia: thanks [11:37] jamesish: hehe =) [11:37] bhavya: there is also docs on the ubuntu help https://help.ubuntu.com site [11:37] Clockswork: why didnt you tell me it is a laptop. do not open the laptop, it is much easier [11:37] jamesish: i use ubuntu only on my laptop =) [11:37] ikonia: thanks again [11:37] because it's too new, and ubuntu has a great support of it =) [11:38] I get the following errors when I try to compile BitchX...

[11:38] Ujjwol, i copy them to my users .fonts directory, or you can access the fonts:// location in the gnome file manager and copy them to it. [11:38] crazyb0y: I find FreeBSD usually smokes linux for support of various features, such as wireless cards. whereas the linux kernel tends to lead in speed of development. [11:38] icewaterman: I dont think so... [11:38] crazyb0y: that's what people keep telling me... but I had a nice setup with addons on bx... === Ujjwol is now known as GOOGLer [11:38] or was it fonts:/// [11:38] :/ [11:38] spazm: and why do you use ubuntu if you want to compile software on it ? =) [11:39] Clockswork: some vacuum cleaners can do that. read the manual. [11:39] spazm: i migrated from bitchx to irssi [11:39] few days is good time to be ok in irssi [11:39] =0 [11:39] jamesish: the second reason to use ubuntu on my laptop is the LUKS encryption =) [11:40] crazyb0y: well, it should be possible to compile _some_ software, no? :) [11:40] icewaterman: So instead of opening it I just take my vacuum cleaner and point it at the fan opening? Wont that just make the dust fly around inside the laptop? [11:40] spazm: heh it's outdated too =) [11:40] spazm: it is possible, but using software that is dead (unmaintained) against a new distro requires a certain level of experience [11:40] Dr_Willis, there is no .fonts directry in /home/my username/ [11:40] !offtopic | Clockswork [11:40] Clockswork: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! === rogan is now known as rogan_ [11:40] yep listen to ikonia he's right [11:41] ikonia: I hear ya... :/ [11:41] GOOGLer, then make one. [11:41] Clockswork: because if it can, simply do that, go outside with your laptop and vcleaner and set it to full blow with the smallest nozzle you have. hold it about 30cm away from the openings of the laptop and blow in while moving the nozzle from left to right. [11:41] spazm: irssi is based on bitchx =0 [11:41] crazyb0y: I want cypress for irssi then :P [11:41] Clockswork: it'll blow out the dust without opening it. [11:41] icewaterman: please stop this discussion [11:41] ikonia: why? [11:41] spazm: it's possible if you are good in perl =P [11:41] icewaterman: because it's nothing to do with ubuntu [11:41] ikonia: it works just fine [11:42] icewaterman: Allright thanks but lets do what ikonia says then :) Thanks alot :) [11:42] crazyb0y: Yeah... I have FreeBSD running on servers and laptop, and ubuntu on my desktop. It' s all just posix at the end of the day. Aaaand I'm done offtopicing ;) [11:42] Clockswork: np [11:42] jamesish: sorry i just said that in ubuntu it's apache2.conf... i didn't want to angry somebody =) [11:42] has any1 had any experience with updating bios for a Dell XPS m1530 inside Ubuntu? [11:42] crazyb0y: then it should be easier to get bx working... :P [11:43] ok [11:43] Clockswork: you can't [11:43] spazm: use pastebin to paste me the rest of the output [11:43] ikonia: sure? dell has some suppport for updating bios in the kernel [11:43] ok sec [11:43] icewaterman: it's not stable and supported [11:44] ikonia: I read yesterday on Dells blog that you can, I'm just very new to the updating bios scene so I dont want to jump into anything [11:44] icewaterman: the process is to boot from remoable media as documented on he dell site [11:44] anyone know of a way to paste with quotes into a gnome-terminal... for example if im pasting a long url that contains & and such [11:44] hi, how can it be that startx dont work because the module "nvidia" can not found, but at the same time "modprobe nvidia" load the module without problems? [11:44] crazyb0y: http://pastebin.com/d366e11d4 [11:46] spazm: what source do you use to compile ? [11:47] crazyb0y: bx 1.1? [11:47] has anyone tried installing ubuntu 8.04 in Qemu ? [11:48] yup [11:48] G__81: no problems [11:48] it tried to load after inserting the CD and then i dont get the Live desktop [11:48] i get back to the command prompt [11:48] hey this is weird, I have problems with my upgrade and the nvidia drivers, I get errors... is this known ? [11:48] spazm: do you have problems with compiling another software on this box ? [11:48] <|Dreams|> can anyone help me my laptop is running amazingly slow and it was working fine last night [11:48] MatBoy: are you using stock/packaged drivers or drivers from nvidia.com [11:48] crazyb0y: not that I know... this one is the first I tried to compile manually... [11:49] spazm: did you pass the configure stage? [11:49] jamesish: yeap... used --with-ssl and --enable-ipv6 as arguments [11:49] |Dreams|: "ps" see what are running [11:49] spazm: can you try again without the arguments after a make clean? [11:49] spazm: which version of gcc do you use ? [11:50] <|Dreams|> i have checked the process list buh there is nothing hogging any system resources also on boot its about 1 minute or more slower [11:50] hi [11:50] How to share folder with command? any idea here? pls [11:50] |Dreams|: maybe hardware problem ? [11:50] ikonia, can you help me on this ? [11:50] Kelen: use samba [11:51] crazyb0y: gcc 4.2? [11:51] crazyb0y: samba ? [11:51] <|Dreams|> i hope not its only 3 weeks old laptop [11:51] jamesish: ok [11:51] Kelen: yes you can share folders in your network with samba [11:51] |Dreams|: any errors in /var/log/messages ? [11:51] does anyone know how to change the "from address" when using the command "mail" in the shell to send an email? [11:51] <|Dreams|> one mo [11:52] jamesish: same error [11:52] jamesish: i think it's a problem with the gcc version =) [11:52] i am not getting the GUI for going ahead with the installation [11:52] in QEMU [11:52] because bx is outdated =) [11:52] has anyone faced this problem ?

[11:58] hi is there a simular program like irfanview present under linux? [11:58] Kelen: you should edit your smb.conf [11:59] ikonia, you there ? [11:59] hello, I was just wondering why there is no jigdo file for desktop install iso images? [11:59] ikonia, any clues ? [12:00] paul68, which features do you need which are missing from the standard image viewer? [12:00] crazyb0y: hmm.. actually i have already edited smb.conf. and can shared folder with gnome operation. [12:00] in pppd what is the equivalent of wvdials stupid mode? [12:00] Hi, new and was wondering if i can use kernel 2.6.27.1 with ahrdy [12:01] hi all, how can I configure SASL and LDAP to allow simple bind authentication; I tried to follow the instruction on that page http://www.openinput.com/auth-howto/ar01s06.html , but the pwcheck_method:saslauthd didn't work, any help ? [12:01] velko: I usually used irfanview to rename a large quantity of files whatever the original file name was into holiday2008001.jpg holiday2008002.jpg enz [12:01] crazyb0y: so i just wanna know is it any way to share folder with command. [12:01] Kelen: no [12:01] ikonia: stock as far as I know [12:02] paul68, try gthumb. it has this feature iirc [12:02] crazyb0y: is gcc 4.2 too new? :P [12:02] just using the packetmanager [12:02] spazm: for bitchx yes =0 [12:02] crazyb0y: okay, thanks .. [12:02] Yes, no? [12:03] ingsoc: I wouldn't recommend it, but the folks in #ubuntu+1 can probably tell you if it will work. [12:03] any clues here for Ubuntu 8.04 in Qemu ?

[12:03] <|Dreams|> is that bad lol [12:04] ingsoc, yes you can. but if it's not in the repositories (which is maybe the case) you have to compile it yourself. and if you are new to linux this might not be the thing you really want to do [12:04] hello, if i want to install another OS with virtualbox, and it will create a new virtual *drive*. so it will create a new virtual drive using ubuntu partition or another partition on my hard drive? i afraid i will get a data lost with another partition.. [12:04] unitedpotsmokers, it won't destroy anything... it's a VIRTUAL drive [12:05] ingsoc: if it does break things, and you have used the kernel's install mechanism to put it into grub, then you should be able to find your old kernel in grub and boot with that without any issues. [12:05] hi can any one please help im trying to install ubuntu on another pc but after the ubuntu boot screen. the screen goes all fuzzy with with lines [12:05] holy shiz [12:05] thanks darkweasel , im done.. it will use a ubuntu partition..

[12:08] pajamian, and thanks for the help [12:08] |Dreams|: if that's an error log, you're in serious trouble buster. [12:08] darkweasel: yes, because windows will overwrite grub on the master boot sector of your HDD but there is a way to easily fix it without having to reinstall ubuntu...

[12:09] <|Dreams|> i dunno [12:09] <|Dreams|> lol [12:09] <|Dreams|> whatever ubuntu installed [12:09] |Dreams|, perhaps because for any given release of ubuntu it's conservatively safe to say it will run like a snail on horse tranquilisers on anything less than 1G ram and 2G proc [12:09] <|Dreams|> i have 3gb ram [12:10] <|Dreams|> dual core 2ghz cpu [12:10] <|Dreams|> ati 512mb grapics [12:10] hrm ok [12:10] <|Dreams|> working fine last night [12:10] <|Dreams|> now its like a slug [12:10] Is infrarecorder the best way to burn the ubuntu cd? [12:10] <|Dreams|> even when i boot it takes ages [12:10] any reason why Apache refuses to listen on ipv6? I have Listen 80 in /etc/apache2/ports.conf [12:11] does dmesg spew random new error data periodically? [12:11] hey guys - noobish question [12:11] and if I try Listen [::]:80, I get: [Sun Oct 19 12:07:00 2008] [crit] (EAI 9)Address family for hostname not supported: alloc_listener: failed to set up sockaddr for :: [12:11] ipv6 is enabled and ping6 ::1 works fine [12:11] I prefer the xfce desktop, however, for some reason anything but GNOME boots me out after about 30 - 60 minutes [12:12] Is there somewhere that the kernel or something will record the error message when sending me back to login? [12:12] |Dreams|, could you output your dmesg please to a file like this [12:12] before i install ubuntu, i created 2 partition.. 10gb ext3 partition and 512mb for swap files.. both are primary. but i saw ubuntu never used a swap partition and it is empty. should i delete a swap partition? [12:12] <|Dreams|> ok [12:12] dmesg > blah.txt [12:12] then upload the file somewhere online [12:12] so I can take a quick look at it === nick_ is now known as nich^ [12:12] hey guys.. ive gotta little question about Kopete messenger.. it's not working properly for me. anyone care to help me? [12:13] unitedpotsmokers, the conservative answer is no [12:13] this is basically how swap works [12:13] hi [12:13] i know someone knows the answer to my question. I shall give you all a few minutes, if i have them :D [12:13] <|Dreams|> http://paste.ubuntu.com/59659/ [12:13] when you run out of ram the linux kernel maps memory to the hard disk in a swap partition [12:14] !guidelines > ImmutableDark [12:14] ImmutableDark, please see my private message [12:14] i have a network share that i mounted with smb, somehow during a file transfer the host went down now if i try to enter the mount point i get cannot access Aloadae: Host is down [12:14] <|Dreams|> brb need gent [12:14] oh i see.. but why my swap partition is empty.. it is look linux didnt use it or we cant see in normal eyes? [12:14] ;P [12:14] remounting doesn't help [12:14] unitedpotsmokers: how are you determining that your swap is empty? [12:15] the mount is in fstab [12:15] ImmutableDark: I don't reckon it's swap. [12:15] ImmutableDark: I reckon there's a background fsck happening. [12:15] [ 248.019476] EXT3-fs warning: maximal mount count reached, running e2fsck is recommended [12:15] my mount string is: //Aloadae/Volume_1 /media/Aloadae cifs guest,uid=1000,iocharset=utf8,codepage=unicode,unicode 0 0 [12:15] unitedpotsmokers, I'd keep some swap on the side [12:15] ImmutableDark: unless linux *still* doesn't support background fsck. [12:15] like a gig [12:15] any options? [12:16] hey guys.. i've got a little problem... webcam won't work on Kopete messenger and I know it has something to do with NAPT on my router... but I just can't make it work and i've been trying for months [12:16] can someone help? [12:16] I'm getting back to |Dreams| [12:16] unitedpotsmokers: ImmutableDark: swap is used for more than just paging out RAM when it gets full. [12:16] google doesn't help me on this one -- not sure how to start troubleshooting [12:16] any reason why apache refuses to listen on ports using ipv6?? [12:17] pajamian, I said basically [12:18] unitedpotsmokers: try this command: free -m [12:18] unitedpotsmokers: you should see the status of your swap with that. [12:18] erm.. i used a system monitor... i can see information of my system... sometimes it will use only 3-4% sometimes zero... [12:18] ok |Dreams| that's pretty weird === snux0ll is now known as maniheer [12:18] I'd take out all your non-essential cards take your ram out and put it back in [12:19] reboot [12:19] unitedpotsmokers: if you're seeing 3-4% usage at times then it is working. The fact that Linux doesn't have to use the swap a lot is a good thing. [12:20] thanks pajamian , i saw it.. swap total : 578332 used: 39796 free: 538536 thanks for help bro.. now i know the swap partition is working... :) === maniheer is now known as MyNewNick [12:20] unitedpotsmokers: yw [12:20] <|Dreams|> me? [12:20] <|Dreams|> i am using a laptop [12:20] velko: looking into it but can't seem to find this feature please advice [12:21] ... I've never owned a mac [12:21] Just installed 2.6.27-7.12kernel and now i load up to a textbased interface. I try startx and wont let me boot gnome. any suggestions? [12:22] i really hate to see windows GUI again, but i must to use them for emergency case... [12:22] ImmutableDark: i find them really annoying [12:22] <|Dreams|> think i might just reinstall [12:22] <|Dreams|> easier [12:22] |Dreams|, not if it's a hardware error [12:23] Any one? [12:23] hmm little question, how would you adjust mplayer to always use ALSA sound, not pulse? [12:23] ingsoc, did you play around with your xorg.conf? [12:23] <|Dreams|> if it doesnt work after that i will just send it back to the shop its still under warranty [12:23] Hi [12:23] tyberion, gmplayer has settings inits menus/control settings area for that. [12:23] Early tonight XDbout 6 horus ago [12:23] tyberion, mplayer with no gui. proberly has a config file [12:24] |Dreams|, yeah after that I'd recommend a reinstall [12:24] How do i start Virtual Box. I ve installed it [12:24] |Dreams|, there is no way you'd be able to troubleshoot a problem like that [12:24] how do i accsess it again? [12:24] paul68, select files then go to "Edit->Rename" [12:25] ingsoc, xorg.conf? [12:25] <|Dreams|> do u kno what the problem is? did that log give you any info? [12:25] does nano come with ubuntu? [12:25] and taht would affect the new kernel? [12:25] yeah it does [12:25] ImmutableDark: It does [12:25] i have a question: i have installed VirtualBOX on Ubuntu8.04, and setup Win2000 into VBox, all ready, VBox network set NAT, and win2000 is DHCP, but win2000 can not visit Wlan. pls help me, thanks [12:25] |Dreams|, I couldn't diagnose the problem apart from a couple of weird interrupt throws [12:25] it looks like a healthy dmesg [12:25] <|Dreams|> oh ok [12:25] velko: grr I was looking under tools as help showed it was richt under my nose thanks [12:26] UUoo_CN: please ask in the virtualbox irc channel [12:26] nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf [12:26] <|Dreams|> ok thanks [12:26] when you look at the output from running startx [12:26] thanks [12:26] Hi. I was hoping to get some quick advice. I'd like to develop an OpenGL application using GLUT. I have a Radeon X800, and I have confirmed that 3D acceleration works. However, the header file GL/gl.h does not exist. Which packages should I install to get that header file? [12:26] try to see what the problem with your configuration is [12:27] ingsoc, failing that I'll give you a default xorg.conf that should work on any computer [12:28] i can't connect to my samba share (cifs) i get the error 'host is down' any direction for troubleshooting this? [12:28] sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf [12:28] then you can troubleshoot it with your gui up and running [12:28] hi all, does anyone know where i can find amarok 2 beta 2 deb files? [12:29] ingsoc, sorry I presumed you were logged in as root [12:29] in at least one of your vts [12:29] Heheh no need for sorry your the one helping remember XD [12:29] hi all [12:29] Trying install Xmms - but says has been replaced - what would be app I need to install? [12:29] anyone know why apache doesn't listen on ipv6?? [12:29] !xmms [12:29] paul68: I'm physically present, but rather hung over. [12:29] xmms is no longer being developed, see http://bugs.debian.org/461309 for more details. Consider using audacious, bmpx, or xmms2, bmpx, or xmms2 instead. [12:30] is ubuntu 'ready' for real time, i am trying really hard to get this working, but it seems (a) there is no support and (b) the os is not mature for normal users like me -- i try to connect to my nas the only error i get is 'host is down' no other way to troubleshoot and i at least know my way around a computer [12:30] !xmms [12:30] xmms is dead. :) explore the alternatives.. I like bmpx [12:30] Dr_Willis: Have bmpx installed already will try that - thanks [12:30] BlueEagle: no problem my friend [12:30] any1 can tell me how install athrusb (wifi from atheros) on hardy, 4 days now that i'm googling [12:31] paul68: What can I do you for this afternoon? [12:31] could someone give me advice on how to troubleshoot on ubuntu -- what options do i have with the smb share? this is all so cryptic [12:32] Dr_Willis, xmms rules [12:32] ImmutableDark, amazing how i have managed to get along with out it... [12:32] you are mistaken [12:32] lexrex: what is the problem you are having? [12:32] but the ghost of it still haunts us. [12:32] about a great many things [12:32] ? what is that [12:32] ImmutableDark, dosent really matter.. [12:32] nobody knows? [12:33] pajamian, i had a connection to a smb share, when i try to connect i get 'host is down' [12:33] ingsoc, backup your copy of xorg.conf [12:33] i.e. cp xorg.conf xorg.conf.backup [12:33] then copy over it with that [12:33] lexrex: and you are sure that it isn't "down"? [12:33] I'm assuming your video card is vesa compatible [12:33] that configuration should get X up and running [12:33] nvidia [12:33] the only thing that could have caused this is i was transfering files [12:34] no one at all knows anything about ipv6 support in apache? [12:34] What's the default system-password for su after a clean installation? Is it impossible to access su because I chose to use sudo? [12:34] I have xrunnign just not in the new kernel,rebooted to my old one [12:34] pajamian, yes, i am connected to it via my windows laptop [12:34] ingsoc, yeah ... it is :p [12:34] nioce [12:34] mr_lou: the same password which you gave your default user [12:34] !root| mr_lou [12:34] mr_lou: 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 [12:34] lexrex: well I am no samba expert, I can point you to the samba help guides, though and perhaps someone else can help you more than me. Also you can try asking for help in #samba [12:35] !smb | lexrex [12:35] lexrex: Samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html - Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT. Also see https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/212098 [12:35] Then something must have gone wrong, because that doesn't work. [12:35] now i am screwed because i got matlab for linux and i am realizing that linux just doesn't seem to work on my laptop [12:35] But ok. [12:35] lexrex: how else is it not working? [12:35] mr_lou: what doesn't work exactly? And *how* is it not working exactly? [12:35] ingsoc, did you configure it yourself? [12:35] if so did you patch it correctly? [12:36] jrib: Password for default user just doesn't work for su. [12:36] Is there any easy way of giving my terminal a black background? I looked in .bashrc, but don't think the background is set in that file. [12:36] if not ubuntu sucks [12:36] mr_lou: that's not what ubottu said [12:36] just made a change to the screen setting [12:36] ah ok [12:36] mr_lou, the gnome-terminal can have different colors. in its profiles [12:36] pajamian, thanks suspend mode [12:36] mr_lou: edit -> current profile [12:36] good good [12:36] fixed = good [12:36] next problem [12:36] i think it was when i added a line to /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base [12:36] /victim [12:36] Uuh, funky. [12:36] Thanks. [12:37] ingsoc, cool [12:37] Great. White on black. That's the one. :-> [12:37] breaking more things tring to get my sound working then actually fixing [12:37] lexrex: what is happening with suspend mode, then? [12:37] lol ingsoc what sound card? [12:38] jrib: Ubuntu just says "su: Authentication failure". [12:38] mr_lou: did you read what ubottu said? There is no root password. You can't su to root. Use sudo instead [12:38] yeah anyway alsaconf is unforgiving [12:38] I know that [12:38] jrib: Right. That's what I asked. Thought I might could have both though. [12:39] nVidia Corporation MCP51 High Definition Audio (rev a2) [12:39] pajamian, that is the problem -- lots of things are intermittent (wireless, suspend, mounting shares) and i have no idea how to troubleshoot them -- i looked at your samba links and i used them to set things up [12:39] mr_lou: there's really no point. You can do everything with sudo. If you really think you need a root prompt, just run 'sudo -i', it's the same as 'su -' [12:39] but no idea how to troubleshoot === root is now known as Guest98713 [12:39] how do i format my thumb drive? [12:40] !gparted | edlv [12:40] hoping the new kernel will help, seems alot of audio errors with the version im running. after 15....16 hours of workign on it i would love to sleep hapy tonight XD doubt it thoe [12:40] edlv: gparted is a !GUI partitioning program. 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 [12:40] edlv fat32 [12:40] jrib: Great! Thanks. Well, sometimes when I have to do a lot of stuff using root, it's nicer to not have to type sudo all the time. That's why. [12:40] BlueEagle: is there a way to create a script that installs all your programs with there specific settings on a fresh installation almost like a unattended setup without the touching the kernel? [12:40] it has the best cross compatibility [12:40] mr_lou: right, that's where 'sudo -i' comes in [12:40] lexrex: google: troubleshooting samba [12:40] Ok [12:41] mr_lou: you can get a root shell with: sudo -i [12:41] o.k. will do -- but i am going to wait a couple days -- i have too much work to do to fiddle with this os [12:41] windows just works [12:41] lexrex: fair enough. [12:41] pajamian: Yes, I just learned. Thanks. :-) [12:41] thanks for the direction though [12:41] "windows just works"? ... not in my appartment. [12:42] ciao [12:42] mr_lou: and, yes, it is possible to assign a password to root and use the su command as well ... but that's not the "ubuntu way". [12:42] edlv, cfdisk /dev/sda1 or whatever device your thumbdrive defaults to [12:42] in windows, i right clicked and selected format. how do i format here? [12:42] !microsoft | lexrex [12:42] lexrex: For discussion on Microsoft Windows, or help with same, please visit ##windows. See http://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+bug/1 http://linux.oneandoneis2.org/LNW.htm and /msg ubottu equivalents [12:42] edlv: install and run gparted [12:42] edlv, you don't [12:42] pajamian: I understand. That's also why I chose to try out the sudo way. But I do need sudo -i sometimes when doing a lot of stuff at once. [12:43] mr_lou: I understand, I use it a lot myself. [12:43] if you format fat32 I think you'll wind up having a 32 gig/mb cap [12:43] the fat32 fs can support up to 2TB of data [12:44] hi all.. i have an image file "NRG" how to convert this image file to ISO file? [12:44] Anyone using sharpfonts.com, and why? [12:44] dl proprietry software to do this and open up cmd [12:44] mr_lou: are you managing a server?, other wise [12:44] unitedpotsmokers, dependig on what it is. You can just mount it as if it was an .iso the fuseiso tool can mount them also i belive.. [12:44] yeah [12:44] mr_lou: are you managing a server?, other wise I couldn't imagine doing *lots" as root [12:44] unitedpotsmokers: try nrg2iso [12:45] guntbert: No. I'll be using Ubuntu for desktop. Switching from Arch Linux. Mostly testing it this weekend. Will install 8.04 on a new computer tuesday I think. [12:45] guntbert: Well, I need to do geeky stuff sometimes... [12:45] mount whatever.nrg /mnt/cdrom -o loop [12:45] I think [12:45] ok.. thanks all.. [12:45] !iso | unitedpotsmokers [12:45] unitedpotsmokers: To mount an ISO disc image, type « sudo mount -o loop » - There is a list of useful cd image conversion tools at http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/CD_Image_Conversion - Always verify the ISO using !MD5 before !burning. [12:46] Still no go [12:46] paul68: I do not think Ubuntu supports that. There are distros that allow you to "save package selection", but they do not allow to save config. [12:46] When I boot up says tring to load image , cant so it start normal boot instead of gnome logonscreen [12:46] paul68: So you would be looking at creating a custom script and patch the configuration files with your alterations. [12:47] hy all [12:47] does ubuntu package kernels? [12:47] ImmutableDark: yes [12:47] paul68: This would entail creating a list of the applications you want to install after installig ubuntu and creating diff-files for the configuration files you alter and then apply those diffs trough a series of patches. [12:47] ingsoc, did you compile the kernel yourself or did you download and install it? [12:47] mr_lou: I see, doing geeky things implies you know what you're doing, so no further comments from me :) [12:47] Dloaded the kernel for the package manager [12:48] BlueEagle: correct [12:48] it installed stright after i dloaded [12:48] * ImmutableDark nudges ingsoc [12:48] guntbert: I still have a lot to learn, but I'm not a complete noob anymore. ;-) [12:48] it's probably a misconfiguration [12:48] revert to an older kernel [12:48] Thats what im on now === |Jelly|Ghost is now known as |Jelly| [12:49] ingsoc, you don't really need a new kernel unless it's got a new feature you want or there is an exploit in a previous version of the kernel [12:49] but on this kernal i did somthing appently to make it boot stright to the text based so i log on then type startx and get my gmone working... that dont even work for the new kernel [12:49] or at least a script that installs for example konversation, quantaplus firefox with extentions and thunderbird to name a view applications [12:49] No sound. [12:49] have you run alsaconf? [12:50] ingsoc: did you try to install an intrepid kernel or something? [12:50] from my understanding 2.6.24 has issues with my sound card [12:50] even if it fails it may tell you some info [12:50] pajamian got it from ubuntu website [12:50] http://packages.ubuntu.com/intrepid/base/linux-image-2.6.27-7-generic [12:50] BlueEagle: I know you can select them all through synaptic but it would be easier for me to launch a script that is checking if it excists in synaptic and install it , and indicates in a logfile which was succesfull and which not [12:51] ingsoc: see the "intrepid" in that URL? [12:51] yeah [12:51] what taht mean [12:51] ingsoc: that means that the kernel is for the 8.10 development version of ubuntu. It is not considered stable. [12:51] ingsoc: if you want help with it try asking in #ubuntu+1 [12:52] BlueEagle: or after installing a small note that its succesfully installed before going on to the next [12:52] Thanks for your time , much appriated once again [12:52] yeah and if you want stability or it to run or for it to be easily configurable my recommendation is to use a different distribution of linux [12:52] Slackware? [12:52] lol that's what I use [12:53] ingsoc, whatever you want [12:53] arch linux is good [12:53] I just want things to work XD [12:53] BlueEagle: including also the restricted drivers and so on [12:53] yeah arch linux [12:53] !ot | ImmutableDark [12:53] ImmutableDark: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [12:54] ...Well opn that note [12:54] :P [12:55] Hi. My /etc/rc.local does not seem to be called, therefore I have to make changes to /etc/init.d/bootmisc.sh ... any ideas/thoughts? [12:55] Hi. My /etc/rc.local does not seem to be called, therefore I have to make changes to /etc/init.d/bootmisc.sh ... any ideas/thoughts? [12:55] firestorm: how are you determining that? [12:55] paul68: Well, I'm no hero when it comes to bash scripting, but the prerequisites are: diff-file for sources.list to patch with. a list of applications to install, diff-files for all the configurations you wish to alter and then two loops. One which installs the files and one which patches the configs. === alvin is now known as Big_Al [12:55] firestorm, first guess.. you put your commands in rc.local after the 'exit' statement.. thus they never get ran. === Big_Al is now known as Alvin [12:56] BlueEagle: you said it my friend ;-) [12:56] check that it's executable [12:56] check that it's called from a script in your startup routine [12:57] Dr_Willis: nope - putting them before the exit 0 [12:57] ensure that it's in the proper script format [12:57] has anyone installed flash 10 from adobe site, which version? there is a deb for ubuntu, then there is some apt thing for ubuntu too? which to get? [12:57] BlueEagle: or is there a some sort of howto for this kind a thing? [12:57] firestorm: then the rc.local "service" got turned off somehow. [12:57] jrib: was able to test with an ethtool statement to turn WOL on [12:57] firestorm, :) spend an hr one day troubleshooting.. due to myself making that mistake... [12:57] Dr_Willis: :-) [12:58] firestorm, what commands re you running from rc.local? [12:58] see chmod && ls -l, see #!/bin/bash, if [-x rc.local]; then blah blah blah fi [12:58] firestorm: I would try something more simplistic like an echo statement somewhere. Then you could determine if the issue was rc.local not being run or if that particular command is not having the desired effect there [12:58] Dr_Willis: an ethtool command which works [12:59] paul68: Are you familiar with any programming language at all? [12:59] firestorm: run this command. You should see four links that all start with S99: ls -la /etc/rc?.d/???rc.local [12:59] jrib: no probs...checked that rc.local has an S in front of it so that it does run at startup === natacha is now known as Natoux === Alvin is now known as Silver_Fox [13:00] a little bit of php thats all and in bash scripting I'm still dreaming off getting this to work still a very big beginner here :-( [13:01] the apt link doesn't seem to work, so will go for deb :-) [13:02] hello everyone [13:02] pajamian: yup rc.local is set to run for the relevant runlevels (2,3,4,5) [13:02] hi all can anyone help me with my webcam [13:02] any ideas about site Source-O-Matic ? [13:02] may I ask something about vga problems during ubuntu insatllation? [13:02] firestorm: what do you get with: ls -la /etc/rc.local? [13:02] it is a buildt in acer orbicam [13:02] firestorm, i was wonderinf if your command was changeing somthing - thta somthing else was changing back... [13:02] !ask | YusC [13:02] YusC: 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. :-) [13:02] aguitel: it's outdated. Just use System -> Administration -> Software Sources [13:02] pajamian: -rwxr-xr-x === alberto is now known as Guest69812 [13:03] paul68: Well, if you know arrays and exec in php then you can create a php script to do this. This ofcourse requires you to install php prior to running your script which kind of defeats the purpouse of it. :) [13:03] Dr_Willis: nah the command is not unset...get set in bootmisc but ignored in rc.local .. tried a few diff commands too [13:03] paul68: I guess the best thing to do for you is to leard enough bash scripting to hack together such a script. [13:04] paul68: or perl. [13:04] jrib, i cannot check (in software sources) important security updates (hardy security ) [13:04] BlueEagle: was afrraid you are going to bring this up going back to the roots oeps books that is :-) [13:04] aguitel: why? What happens when you try? [13:05] Okay, I having some trouble installing ubuntu on my laptop. It has a KM400 VIA chipset onboard, which is always causing me trouble when installing linux. Previously I had Debian running, and since a year or so I switched back to Windows. However, I thought of installing Ubuntu on it now, and the normal installation CD does not work at all, and the alternative CD starts installation, but then after pressing "Install Ubuntu" it switches to some weird video [13:05] jrib, remains in blank [13:05] firestorm: redirect the output somewhere so you can look at it [13:05] aguitel: pastebin your /etc/apt/sources.list [13:05] is there a way to enable my ati x300 tv-out? [13:05] jrib, ok [13:06] YusC: use the alternate install CD [13:06] !alternate | yusc [13:06] yusc: The Alternate CD is a classic text-mode install CD. It supports a wider range of hardware than the !LiveCD, and can also be used as an upgrade CD. Look for the alternate checkbox on the Ubuntu download page - See also !minimal - Torrent at http://releases.ubuntu.com/8.04.1/ubuntu-8.04.1-alternate-i386.iso.torrent [13:07] ubottu & pajamian: I already have the alternate CD now [13:07] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [13:07] and that one is also causing trouble [13:07] hi all, is there any alternative to the option pwcheck_method:... in the slapd.conf file ? [13:07] !tv-out [13:07] For help with enabling the TV-Out, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/NvidiaTVOutNewbieEdition (Nvidia cards) or http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Tvout (ATI cards, *untested*) [13:07] jrib, http://pastebin.com/d345ac62b [13:08] hi, i've got 2 separate HD, one contains Vista on the second I'd like to install ubuntu, where should be the ubuntu's boot loader installed ? [13:08] hi. I created a new mime type. How can I set its icon? [13:09] xb install grub on vista partition/HD [13:09] aguitel: you have security [13:09] jrib: i put in a /bin/sh -x in the /etc/init.d/rc.local as well as do an 'echo 1 > /tmp/test.txt' .. the rc.local run with '-x' shows + printf fail [13:09] fail+ /usr/bin/tput op [13:09] jrib, do you think the file sources.list is ok ? [13:10] aguitel: looks fine. You have duplicate -security lines. That may be what's confusing the gui [13:10] hello. after upgrade to hardy (i think that is when it started) the user cannot read photos to a canon connected to usb anymore. [13:10] Whenever the text based installer starts (this blue/gray/red screen), my video card reacts very strange. It's completely unreadable, and I remember having this trouble before. I also remember that the Debian installer had something like "novga" or "safe vga" mode, or whatsoever. Unfortunately, I cannot find such an option in the Ubuntu installer. Maybe I can add something to the boot options line? [13:10] jrib, thanks [13:10] it seems the user does not have read/write acess to the usbdevice [13:11] It must be possible to set the icon for a new mimetype! [13:11] does anyone have any idea how to debug this? [13:11] we tried both gthumb under kde (what we always did) and fspot under gnome [13:12] I need to set a locale in my terminal. Would /etc/rc.local be the right place to do that? [13:13] how to redirect simple bind authentication is redirected to saslauthd ? [13:13] mr_lou: you mean locales ? [13:13] it worked using gksu gthumb, but i would rather run it as the usual user === cesar_ is now known as Guest3214 [13:13] How do I set the icon for a mime type [13:13] anyone? [13:13] homy: you may have to edit your icon theme [13:13] crazyb0y: Yes. I have a java file with ISO8859-1, which javac complains about because my terminal isn't ISO8859-1 [13:13] jrib: how do I do that? [13:13] When is OpenOffice3 going to hit the repositories, its in freebsd ones already [13:14] mr_lou: dpkg-reconfigure locales [13:14] gnari: did you try to manually mount the usbdisk ? [13:14] it is not a usbdisk [13:14] homy: art.gnome.org has a tutorial on themes. Just copy the one you currently use, give it a new name, edit it using the tutorial as a guide, then put it in ~/.themes/ and select it in Appearance Preferences [13:14] gnari: then ? [13:15] canon cameras do not appear as usbdisk === thunders1ruck is now known as gnomefreak [13:15] jrib: oh. What I really want is that a .deb, when it is installs, automatically adds a new icon for its new file mimetype. [13:15] the software in gthumb and fspot recognize the usbdevice allright, just permissions are lacking [13:15] crazyb0y: Thanks, but it gives me UTF-8. I need to change it manually then I guess. [13:16] gnari: try opening gthumb using sudo gthumb [13:16] homy: do you know of an existing package that does this? [13:16] jrib: no. [13:16] mr_lou: export LANG="..." [13:16] jrib: but that doesn't mean it doesn't exist... [13:16] can somebody please help me configure the tv-out of my ati x300? [13:16] murlidhar, i did try that but gthumb did not open. with gksu gthumb it worked, but i would prefer use normal user [13:17] homy: right, well as I see it, it's up to the icon theme to provide an icon for a mimetype [13:17] mr_lou: or edit your /etc/locale.alias [13:17] murlidhar, otherwise the images saved are all owned by root [13:17] murlidhar, i was thinking there must be some group the user must belong to, but i dont know what one [13:18] gnari: google it :) [13:18] ok. [13:18] !usergroup | gnari [13:18] Sorry, I don't know anything about usergroup [13:18] !users | gnari [13:18] gnari: To add new users to your Ubuntu system, follow the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AddUsersHowto - For administrative privileges, users need to be made members of the group "admin" - See !sudo [13:18] hello, here is the problem i had with virtualbox when i want to install another OS..

[13:19] crazyb0y: Values in /etc/locale.alias are correct.

Inserting a LOCALE line in /etc/rc.local didn't help. I had the same issue with Arch way back, but of course can't remember what I did back then. :-> [13:24] unitedpotsmokers, do you have more than one apt-get or synaptic session on the go? [13:24] how do you make ISO image of a DVD? [13:24] gregg, will do. is there an apm for displayconfig-gtk? that would be ideal [13:24] xman: i can't help you then if isn't related to linux let alone ubuntu . i am sorry cuz i really don't know much about windows [13:24] iḿ not sure what displayconfig-gtk is so can´t really advise you there [13:24] ompaul: he is just not root [13:24] unitedpotsmokers, or did you use sudo ;-) [13:24] mathew_, with an 'image DVD burning' software [13:24] he must use sudo =) [13:25] but if you head into xorg. you can set the default depth to something more suitable [13:25] dd will not work?

[13:58] jrib: cheers. I was just venting to be honest [13:58] NewTOkubuntu: do you have any free space availible? [13:58] hi everyone, i've been reading many articles on the downsides of 64bit linux in terms of package availability and compatibility. I'll be using my machine for mainly development C/C++/Java and others.... most of what i've read is at least a year old... i'd like to hear your opinions... will i be able to develop programs to run on 32-bit linux machines easily using an ubuntu 64-bit 8.04 install ? From what i gather i can run [13:58] histo: i have 150 GB [13:58] histo: i have 150 GB, from 250 [13:58] NewTOkubuntu: resize / and then make a /swap partition [13:58] can anyone recommend programs capable of SYN floods for ubuntu? [13:58] something similar to low orbit ion cannon? [13:58] NewTOkubuntu: be free space I meant un partitioned space. [13:58] the machine has 4GB of RAM so i should get a benefit from 64-bit..... but my main priority is packages for development and general compatibility [13:59] blip- java and groovy development works fine for me on amd64 running hardy [13:59] blip-, the only thing I had trouble with from i386 -> amd64 was flash support [13:59] I don´t think i´ve developed any C/C++ for a while [13:59] blip-: you won't have a java plugin for you browser from sun. So if that's something you need, you may want to just use 32bit [14:00] histo: i have enouf free place. But i do not know how to make the swap and to make it work [14:00] NewTOkubuntu: how did you install ubuntu and not add a swap? did you manually parititon? [14:00] histo: yes === rocco is now known as cbx33 [14:01] Because i wanted to have a partition for his own i made that partition and he got instaled in my vista:( [14:02] histo: i runned at one time this command mcv@mcv:~$ cat /etc/fstab [14:02] # /etc/fstab: static file system information.

[14:11] does anyone here use ubuntu 64-bit, or any other 64-bit distro for that matter ? [14:11] jrib, ack - grab it [14:11] ompaul: its 1 now.. [14:11] hi. After changing an icon in my theme, I have to log out and back in in order for nautilus to display the new icon. Is there any way to do that without logging out and in? [14:11] Venin, so it is working for the moment [14:12] yeah.. [14:12] Venin: echo 1 | sudo tee /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward should work [14:12] but after a ettercap session its back at 0 [14:12] Venin: ah, some ettercap configuration then [14:12] shouldnt be [14:12] i know there are lot of complaints about echo 1 not working to that file [14:12] google shows plenty [14:13] Venin, it works - or my firewalls would not be working ;-) [14:13] jrib: that command worked..

So you can just check top or System -> Administration -> System Monitor for it [15:13] prolly should of backed up the pr0n [15:14] when screensaver is shown I realized that 3d scenes are displayed incorrectly.

[15:14] jrib: that is not an intuitive way of letting the user know that the backup has finished [15:14] !htop [15:14] Sorry, I don't know anything about htop [15:14] IdleOne: I agree [15:14] jrib: I believe there is a bug filed [15:15] the proc id isnt there, but I think I cant see it because sbackup runs as root. whats top?

Also can i expect to find most things in the 8.04 repos also in the 8.10 repos ? or does it take months to fillup such stuff ? thanks [15:17] anyone here use QEMU/KVM? [15:18] srbaker: good to know [15:18] hi all, I've disabled simple authentication using the configuration "security simple_bind=64" in the slapd.conf, but the system refuses to login although I can obtain tickets for the same user which I'm trying to login with and that user is in the ldap database and I can login using it when the binding method is simple; here is what kerberos logs produces http://paste.ubuntu.com/59709/ any...

[15:19] komputes: nono, I have files on the Ubuntu host that I want to access from the Windows guest, so I thought of using -smb [15:19] Can anyone recommend an idiot proof backup system then? [15:19] it'll be nice to up to intrepid on this thing [15:19] blip99: It is not recommended that you use a beta release on a production machine. Intrepid will mostly just have newer packages. Ubuntu makes a release and then that release only gets security and big bug updates. If you want something that's stable (read: not beta), then use 8.04 and then upgrade in a couple of weeks after 8.10 is released [15:20] i have 2 500G drives, iwanted to stripe them [15:20] and i understand intrepid will make it easy to do that at install time [15:20] hey.. i downloaded the ubuntu 8.10 beta but the wlan doesnt work (macbook pro). Is there a newer ubuntu than the beta? [15:20] Kajover: #ubuntu+1 for help with intrepid [15:20] can anyone help me so I can get my atheros wireless card to work? [15:20] Roey: wait, then how are you running the 'kvm' command from windows? [15:20] if i may ask on more question please... in terms of packages for development in C/C++/Java and others... can i except packages and libraries on 8.10 to behave like ones on 8.04.... ie if i develop a large application on 8.10 ..... will it work the same on 8.04 ?

[15:23] jrib: by modulo you mean diff ? So the answer is no, i will have to check every development related library and app installed via synaptic... to make sure it conforms to the same behavior as its counterpart in 8.04 ? [15:23] thiebaude: discussion of the beta is in #ubuntu+1 [15:23] how can gnome-system-log be cleared ? [15:23] how do I use cabextract to open the .exe file [15:23] (because that would make it very tedious to develop) [15:23] yea i know, histo :) [15:23] komputes: nono, I have files on the Ubuntu host that I want to access from the Windows guest, so I thought of using -smb [15:23] komputes: I didn't say windows kvm guest [15:24] retro89dsaffdsa: cabextract is fro extracting cabs [15:24] retro89dsaffdsa: like out of cab files [15:24] how can I open the exe file then? [15:24] blip99: everything will probably just work. But if you use lib version 1.0 in hardy and upstream decides to change every single function in 2.0 and that gets into intrepid, your program won't work right? [15:24] when screensaver is shown I realized that 3d scenes are displayed incorrectly. Surfaces on the back are shown in the very frond of the frond surfaces. Whats wrong? How can I fix it? (I am on Ubuntu) [15:25] retro89dsaffdsa: if you are trying to extract hte cabs from an exe just use cabextract [15:25] retro89dsaffdsa: if you are trying to run a windows program under nix you need to check in to wine [15:25] Hi, I have set remote desktop on a local network (with netgear router that has nothing of note in logs) The Remote desktop viewer can see the other computer but when I try to connect I get connection to host was closed every time. this is on Hardy 8.04.01. any ideas? [15:25] I did that but it sais it had an error [15:26] jrib: hmm i see. so i think i'm better off developing on an 8.04 directly since the target machine that will run this software system will also be an 8.04... thanks for the help :) [15:26] retro89dsaffdsa: perhaps the file is bad then? try man cabextract for some options you can try [15:26] blip99: definitely [15:27] Roey: Well I would make sure that both the guest and the host don't have the same IP address for starters. Perhaps even assign that machine an actual IP on same subnet as the Ubuntu host [15:27] Roey: are you able to access this ubuntu-hosted smb share from other computers without issues?

[15:40] after several days of trying make it work I'm on the end with my latin [15:40] marius no it dosnt [15:40] luckyone: do you have any lvm ? [15:40] why ? [15:40] zig heil! [15:40] :D [15:40] ikonia: no [15:40] roundyz_cell, why do you say so ? [15:40] danbh_interpid could you make it work? [15:40] ghee: before, in a previous version of ubuntu or in another Operating System? [15:40] luckyone: then the volume has to be in fstab [15:41] could someone link me, to people, that could help me with my gnome dropdown aplications menu? [15:41] komputes, in an earlier edition of ubuntu [15:41] i need help formating my hard drive. [15:41] ikonia: I will post /etc/fstab and the log into pastebin [15:41] it works well and provides all the tools you really need for video editing, the interface is simple too. [15:41] which front end would you recommend for a pIII 500? [15:41] rober1: yeah, it was a total fail for me too. I didn't even know that hardy HAD ath9k. Anyway, I'd say go for intrepid, which is being released quite soon. If you can't wait, go for the testing version of intrepid [15:41] marius, yes .. but thats not it [15:41] !pastebin [15:41] 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) [15:41] exactly my point [15:41] RoadHazard: xfce, fluxbox, e17 ... [15:41] i was thinking i could get photoshop running [15:41] thats why I need dual boot :D [15:42] komputes, actually, then too i initially had the same problem, it didn't show up...and then it did. is there a way to "refresh" when scanning? [15:42] ghee: hmmm, regression in auto-detecting a network printer. I would open a bug on Launchpad.net if you can constantly reproduce it. [15:42] is e17 in the repos for hardy? [15:42] well i havent used windows in years.. i think i couldnt get used to it now :| [15:42] danbh_interpid but did it work under intrepid? [15:42] i meant image editing not video, sorry [15:42] may i have some help?

[15:48] ikonia: yes, /etc/init.d/sendmail is still there [15:48] luckyone: that should have gone [15:48] most odd [15:49] Hi I have a question : how can I install a program with all the dependencies from bash [15:49] Buckie: apt-get [15:49] yea [15:49] I've to bye guys [15:49] My MP3's arenpt playing.

[16:01] jckoster-edwards, I'm poking in the dark here but you might look for it using "sudo fdisk -l".. that will give you a list of current partitions and drives and their mount points.. if you see it there but not mounted you'll have to manually mount it.

[16:14] ikonia: it's this bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-keyring-manager/+bug/190950/+viewstatus [16:15] luckyone: no they didn't gpl their drivers, but they release docs for the DRI project [16:15] so these guys can add proper support, which is what they do [16:15] so with my other problem my graphics card isn't detected in Hardy Heron [16:15] ikonia: i'll try ubuntu-desktop. thx [16:15] ikonia: I am going to watch this thing boot again... see how it does after manually removing scripts from init.d [16:15] scunizi, I figured out the startup thing... but I can't seem to find anything that will allow my graphics card to work...

[17:16] ya and no [17:16] * Lede implodes [17:16] Lede: yes but id run xubuntu or ubuntu with fluxbox [17:16] lede: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ubuntu#System_requirements [17:16] Lede: id try buy some SDRAM to beef it up a little [17:16] it just seems an odd choice to use IPv6 in todays day and age [17:16] jest ktoś z polski [17:16] Lede, older versions of Ubuntu can surely run,but not with Gnome you may have to go with Xfce or Enlightment [17:16] unless ur in like china in there are no IPv4 addresses available [17:16] jclbrt: if its required it can be used [17:16] jclbrt, yes very odd.....seing as I have a /48 subnet [17:16] ActionParsnip: it's maxed out [17:16] what's wrong with wanting to learn about ipv6 [17:17] My Ubuntu machine keeps rebooting its self after say, 3/4 hours of uptime. Where can I look for possible causes? I don't think it's something over heating as my hardware hasn't changed and I think it would overheat a lot sooner. [17:17] many hosts out there are actually ipv6 enabled [17:17] try host google.com [17:17] Where should I look for possible causes? [17:17] or host pastebin.ca [17:17] rocco: nothing is wrong with wanting to learn it.. i'm just wondering why someone would adopt it as their standard [17:17] Lede: hmm, yeah install ubuntu then install fluxbox its a lot lighter than metacity or kde [17:17] ok ignore goolgle [17:17] it's not a standard [17:17] hi can anyone help me with pidgin avatar on yahoo ? [17:17] or my standard [17:17] but I want to get ipv6 working on ipv6 [17:17] sorry apache [17:18] Lede: you try out Damn Small Linux?

In a SATA disk, there's there are 2 partitions.. on of them with the os. well, the os one has half the performance than the other(hdparm)... trying to imagine what could cause this... [17:18] ? === lasseb is now known as Bruners [17:19] hmmm [17:19] Where are system logs kept? I need to review them to see why my machine is rebooting its self. There's no good, obviouse reason for this. [17:19] movedx: dmesg may help [17:20] movedx: or /var/log messages [17:20] movedx: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LinuxLogFiles [17:20] ActionParsnip: Thank you good sir.

Have i missed something? [17:22] So thats a no then right? [17:22] rocco: what's a no? [17:23] interest [17:23] no one know why apache2 doesn't work? [17:23] how do I force nvidia-glx-new to re-discover the monitor modes for a new monitor that is plugged in? resetting x server only disables nvidia-glx-new. i tried completely reinstalling the package and nvidia-glx-new still can't get it right. [17:23] Witam [17:23] hello [17:23] or is there a way to set the default resolution for all users at once? [17:23] If I upgrade to intrepid now, will my intrepid beta automatically update to intrepid final at the end of October? [17:23] rocco: no one in the last 10 minutes since you asked your question who saw it knows, yes [17:23] Can anyone help me with an icon problem [17:23] Can someone tell me how can i login as root if i have booted using ubuntu cd? [17:23] partisan11: yes [17:23] right.....gee......why didn't someone say that [17:23] Thanks! [17:23] !root | blackhole [17:23] blackhole: 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 [17:23] Any suggestions for deb package to work with .rar files? [17:24] rocco: obviously if no one answers you, no one knows. That's how irc works [17:24] blackhole: in livecd you are a member of sudo [17:24] rocco: you should check bugs.ubuntu.com for bugs about it [17:24] When I make icons for the desktop.. need the icon image file be .png or .ico? [17:24] ActionParsnip, it's kind of unclear for me. I want to access everything with both IPs. Actually, I'd only like to use both when downloading a file (using a wget like program or a torrent client). Do you know any download manager (console) that can use more IPs?

For instructions on accessing .rar files through the Archive Manager view https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FileCompression. There is a free (as in speech) unrar utility as well, see !info unrar-free [17:25] jrib, I know how irc works, but if people descend into a discussion about why I'm using ipv6, one would think they could say I don't know the answer to th equestion [17:25] can i update my ubuntu to load kubuntu 8.10 beta? [17:25] Crosswing: no idea dude. hmmm #gentoo may have answers. they are pretty smart in there [17:25] Thanks much EVERYONE, will check it out [17:25] Hello. I recently have been having a problem with a few of my programs. Whenever I click on these select programs, nothing happens- that is, the program won't start. I have tried running these programs from the command line, and they all yield the same error messege: "glxinfo: error while loading shared libraries: libGL.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory" Does anyone have any idea what the problem is, [17:25] ActionParsnip, thanks, I'm going to try there. :) [17:26] rocco: you should address the people you are asking then [17:26] Is reinstalling the OS the only way to get nvidia-glx-new to re-learn a monitor's correct modes? [17:26] wowfunhappy: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-149046.html [17:26] hello all! hey... any idea how can i mount network windows XP C:\ drive from ssh? ... thanks!

[17:26] nachi_: smbmount [17:27] well that wasn't the terminal window :) [17:27] how can i make a program work in the background of the server? [17:27] @ActionParsnip, thanks, I'm going to check that out.

[17:31] I think there's an option to change that behavior tho [17:31] xchat-gnome should start labeling their product as xchat-gnome instead of xchat [17:31] why would it be a feature to display results like that in the server tab [17:31] Hi all.... I turned off the Alt+Right Click shortcut for the Window Menu both in Compiz and Gnome's Keyboard Shortcuts but the window menu still pops up when I do it. It's really annoying because sometimes I am playing games and because of it I close the window by accident... Anyone know what else I need to do to turn it off? [17:31] Aaqil: what sound card is it? [17:31] i like it this way [17:31] ActionParsnip: windows shows intel ac97 [17:31] ActionParsnip: well he actually said what sound card it is AC97 [17:31] x-chat gnome is different than x-chat [17:31] Aaqil: doesnt matter, what does lspci say it is. ubuntu is not windows [17:31] cllaudyu: does xchat display it in the channel tab [17:31] cllaudyu: yes but still says xchat :) [17:32] cbx33: how are you testing anyway?

[17:59] I just have a simple question .. i didn't get the answer on google and apt-cache search : I would like to install the manual package for C functions .. what is the name of the package ? [17:59] Neaai: have done abit of searching on google and come up with nothing, if i want to block double bounces with a .foward file in postmaster, would i block on $message_body ? if so what would be the syntax ? (i have tried numours google searchs but for some reason it doesnt work) I have if $message_body contains "Delivery" then save /dev/null [17:59] Does anyone know why my Hardy machine would stop making sound? [18:00] ActionParsnip, so i can ping the hostname and get a response now [18:00] plantperson: maybe you pushed the "power"-button? :P [18:00] I knew I'd get an answer like that one [18:00] tim__: after updating the hosts file? [18:00] jamber: I think your question surpasses my knowledge. You might like to ask that again at #exim [18:00] ActionParsnip, o.k. so i can now run mount -a [18:00] I installed the latest wine and now it won't play sound [18:00] tim__: sounds cool [18:00] jrib: okay, I pretty sure that I'm doing everything fine. My vista comp shows up in the "Network" but when I open it none of the files I'm sharing show up [18:01] lost_boy432: they are the sudanese refugees who fled the country of sudan to avoid being killed... many of them were between the ages of 5 and 19 and many of them lost their families trying to find salvation for their religious beliefs [18:01] and it looks like my mount is there! [18:01] the united states has sanctions and programs to help the lost boys [18:01] tim__: dns issue then , hosts file works round it [18:01] plantperson: did you run winecfg and selected oss in audio and do you have any wine app running? [18:01] ActionParsnip, now what i am worried about is why (a) it worked yesterday and (b) suddenly stopped working in the middle of a fille-transfer [18:01] Neaai: thanks :) [18:01] i decided to take a hard drive out of my computer, and now grub won't work. i get the "error 21". As far as i know, grub has nothing on the hard drive, am i supposed to change something in grub before i take it out? i put it back in and now it works fine... [18:02] tim__: check your dns has the correct entry [18:02] but it is also a movie from 1987 directed by Joel Schumach [18:02] worried wether ubuntu/samba is stable enough for me to use [18:02] I have a MBP, but no external sound. Heeelp!! [18:02] tim__: works for me [18:02] jamber: no problem. I'll be interested in the solution as well so I'm there too. :) [18:02] jclbrt: nope, not me. i just use lost boy because im lost half the time im very forgetful [18:02] also my directories have this green box around them and i can't read the names -- how can i change this? [18:02] how do you find out your kernel version in ubuntu? [18:02] cwill747: actually it does store the info on the boot partition [18:02] mn: uname -a in terminal [18:02] mn: uname -a [18:02] tim__: id test your lan to make sure its solid [18:02] hey guys i have messed my nvidia config: plz help me out http://pastebin.com/m7e166c00 [18:02] k thnx [18:03] ichbinesderelch: there is no wine process running in the background, and OSS is selected in winecfg [18:03] i dont know what to do [18:03] اه [18:03] ActionParsnip, i so want this to work -- it seems like i can be more productive in linux if i can get around these errors [18:03] hi [18:03] plantperson: did you close the lid on your comp at all [18:03] jclbrt: yeah, but my boot partition isn't on the drive i took out [18:03] cwill747: u may need to reinstall it [18:03] (if it's a laptop) [18:03] ActionParsnip, how do i id test my lan (i'll take a web-page, know you are busy in here) [18:03] skorasaurus: when? [18:03] reinstall grub [18:03] plantperson: try wineboot [18:03] that should fix it [18:03] Yeah it works , Thanks . [18:03] recently. [18:03] is that a command? [18:03] any idea on the green boxes around my directories in terminal -- that sucks [18:03] yes [18:03] xhunter: no problem, glad i could help :) [18:03] i have sound except for one thing, wanda the fish...is there something i am missing? [18:04] :) [18:04] there's a bug that the sound does not work when you close the lid on your laptop and restart the computer, there's no sound [18:04] mn: actually, strict kernel version is returned by: uname -r [18:04] tim__: ping things for a while to see if they get dropped [18:04] you have to restart your computer again for the sound to work. [18:04] wineboot for the win! Why did that work? [18:04] tim__: like an hour or so [18:04] plantperson: ? did you just fix it ? [18:04] ActionParsnip, makes sense -- what about the green boxes? [18:04] green boxes? [18:04] Indeed! [18:04] around my directories -- background color [18:04] cwill747: u can reinstall grub from the live CD [18:04] How do I change the permissions so firefox doesnt need root to run? [18:04] plantperson: wineboot restarts all wine apps ^^ [18:04] plantperson: maybe try selecting alsa in the wine audo settings === jamber is now known as pyxi [18:05] jclbrt: alright, i was hoping i could avoid that [18:05] tim__: never seen that dude [18:05] i can't read the font in the terminal that surrounds my directories in green font with a green background color -- this is the default on my netbook remix and i can't read it [18:05] yea... i dunno.. it probably just got messed up from not being able to find a drive [18:05] can somebody help meout === eric is now known as Guest81371 [18:05] tim__: thats something to do with permissions [18:05] uh oh!!! ubuntu forums seem to be down [18:05] I'm still curious, though, how did wine manage to disable sound for the entire system?

[18:16] mattdb, all right, dowloading ~40MB [18:16] ronzilla: You know, maybe we should just try some basic troubleshooting techniques here. Maybe we should just try the old process of elimination. [18:16] and have any experience making them? [18:16] i would like to take a moment to express my immense enjoyment with my DigitalDark theme [18:16] hi bob [18:16] haha [18:16] hello [18:16] ?

[18:19] I have a problem with my wireless, the wpa connection type is not listed in the network manager. The network configuration manager (preferences>network configuration) does list it. I am using Ubuntu intrepid. Does somebody recognise this issue? [18:19] mmcclarin_: might not be running the fans when using ubuntu [18:19] mccllarin_, are you using an AMD chipset? [18:19] when i boot up my computer i see two kernels, (2.6.24 and 2.6.19) generic. Why does it show two?

The two do not get along. When Compiz is enabled, flash defaults to software rendering. [18:21] ah, nevermind then :P i'm on amd and had that exact issue, but found that linuxmint (based off ubuntu) worked for some reason. [18:21] ok the drive I want to work with the current files: /dev/sdc1 1 1453518 732573040+ 7 HPFS/NTFS [18:21] is there a 64 bit linux flash player yet? [18:21] but i have a bigger problem now -- i have a file i can't read -- i am in super-user mode and type more install.txt and get nothing, even though the file is 500k [18:21] zenguy311: i dnt... i have had the exact same problem and asked about it today [18:21] openflash [18:21] jclbrt: good idea, ill keep them both, can i upgrade the older one? [18:21] Does anyone know how to bridge a device with network-manager 0.7 in intrepid? Is it possible? [18:21] anyone know how i can boost my volume up past what is available in alsamixer? i've got the sound maxed in totem movie player and alsamixer and it's still quiet [18:21] if i try to chmod it i get chmod: changing permissions of `install.txt': Read-only file system [18:21] tim_: Have you checked the permissions? [18:22] droopsta915: the one with the higher number is the upgraded one [18:22] thanks [18:22] Ah you have!

[18:23] zenguy311: i dunno.... flash 10 works for some ppl but not all ppl.... [18:23] I get a grub "error 18" when I detach my DVD drive from my system. Any idea? [18:23] bove3: eth0 could be anything [18:23] Hello [18:23] on ubuntu or different distro or integrated graphics or grahics card? [18:23] So there are other files in the same directory you can read, but not this one? [18:23] bove3: is that your wired connection? [18:23] this is really odd -- i have never had a file before that i can't read as root [18:23] Ice_Max: for the official player, not yet....The good news is that since flash 10 is now final, Intrepid 64 should be able to put it into the wrapper without a problem. [18:24] Doesn't Gnash support 64-bit Linux? [18:24] any idea how i can fix this? [18:24] Anyone have experience with hardy running hot on thinkpads [18:24] jclbrt: yes. It's the wired connection. It's been there since I installed ubuntu, but I seem to have something up [18:24] mattbd: Even if it does, many sites do not take kindly do it. [18:24] on ubuntu when I try to run firefox it seems to require root permission to run it. how can I adjust permissions so as to allow firefox to be run by normal user? [18:24] what do u mean by you have something up bove3 [18:25] Would you consider it a security risk to allow outbound and inbound established traffic on my webserver?

[18:25] oh [18:25] what browser does flash work best on? [18:25] Ice_Max: I know, but Intrepid should be better. [18:25] sandstrom: as long as it's only on port 80, 443, or 8080 [18:25] it seems it's no longer getting automatic dhcp info [18:25] zenguy311 links [18:25] hithere. isn't there a GTK batch renaming utility ? [18:26] hello, i have 2 NICs, one has ip 192.168.0.2 and another one is 192.168.1.2, the first one has access to internet, now from my pc connects with x.x.1.2 , can ping me, but doesnt have internet. i have set ip_forward to 1, what do i miss? [18:26] zenguy311: all of them [18:26] now if the x-fi cards work in Intrepid, i'll be in heaven [18:26] zenguy311: it works the same on everything...

[18:27] if i try to copy these files: chown: cp: reading `install.txt': Input/output error [18:27] on ubuntu when I try to run firefox it seems to require root permission to run it. how can I adjust permissions so as to allow firefox to be run by normal user? [18:27] jclbrt, i want that the pc can have access to internet too [18:28] anyone know how i can access the sound controls in ubuntu to switch things around without a sound icon in my main panel?

[18:31] is there a way to list all reccomended packages based on what i have installed? [18:31] mmcclarin_: There's not a definite fix for that, but it might be helpful to bring down the cpu usage by overriding the gpu validation stuff. [18:31] How can I let wine do what it wants to internet ports without giving it root? [18:31] ummm... i dnt know alot about iptables [18:32] okey, thanks anyway!

[19:06] Riovane: other than masively changing permissions in there to 777, no [19:06] zielony: tar.bz2 files usually require manual installation, check with the makers for .deb files [19:06] !tar [19:06] Files with extensions .tar, .gz, .tgz, .zip, .bz2, .7z, .ace and other archive file formats can be opened with file-roller (GNOME) or Ark (KDE) - Also see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FileCompression [19:06] nivin: call as in... camera or microphone conversation?

To install .deb files, simply double-click (in Ubuntu) or click (in Kubuntu) on them to start the GDebi utility. [19:07] zielony: otherwise, you'll need to use some command line tools to make a binary of the source and install from there. Unless it's a bzipped binary, in which case some moving is what you'd need to do.

[19:08] zielony: but you can also check inside the tar.bz2 file for an INSTALL file [19:08] its like 79% full [19:08] louise: that is directly from lspci right? [19:08] zielony: maybe its easy to manually install, just read their directions [19:08] zielony, Files with the .tar, [19:08] .tgz, .tar.gz or .tar.bz2 suffix are package files [19:08] known as tarballs, and are widely used in Linux and Unix to [19:08] package software. Tarballs can also be used to archive and compress other files. [19:08] If there is no native Ubuntu package available in any of the Ubuntu repositories, you can use the command line to install or uninstall the tarball file. [19:08] The first step will be to uncompress and extract the tarball. If it is a .tgz or a .tar.gz, in a Terminal enter: [19:08] Having quite a bit of a problem with firefox right now [19:08] yo anyone knowof any html players that play from urls? [19:08] [19:08] tar xfvz tarball_name [19:08] [19:08] jim_p: what will that do? [19:08] Then it will be necessary to follow the instructions that come [19:08] with the package. These are generally located in the extracted [19:08] tarball in a file called README or [19:08] INSTALL.

[19:19] SpinachHead: yes [19:19] Is there ANYONE in here who would be willing to give me a little help here? [19:19] jim_p, heh.. was a hidden window that didn't show up in the taskbar .... [19:19] Tankado: there's a few things you can do. "merging" the partitions is possible, but you'll need a tool like gParted, and it's not 100% safe. Should be quite safe, but not 100%. [19:19] bpat1434: lmao [19:19] jim_p: do you know what flag do I need to put in my menu.lst to load Fluxbuntu? [19:19] what text editor do you use (i don't mean vi nor nano) but what would be your choice between abiword, ooo, or others ???

I need a good CAD program (Autocadish) anyone familar with anything like that ? [19:19] SpinachHead: Sure, what do you mean by that? You can buy the CD using ShipIt, or do you mean putting the CD in and installing Ubuntu? That works too. [19:19] jim_p, I don't see the network manager app using "top" how do I kill it? [19:20] Tankado: otherwise, you can do something simple like make a shortcut to the other partition in your home directory. I have a directory in my home directory for Music which is actually a drive on another machine, for example. [19:20] Flecha2: no, i cat guss with no clues, but i can make one [19:20] louise: killall network-manager [19:20] i think [19:20] no,i installed heron already, but i cant get ndiswrapper to the box because my usb drive wont mount [19:20] SpinachHead: Yeah, and internet isn't required to install Ubuntu if you already have the CD.. [19:20] yeah, but moving a usb with the wireless packages wont work [19:20] how can I change the language a GNOME desktop is in? [19:21] SpinachHead: Try using your ethernet. [19:21] Okay, I'm having a bit of a problem. [19:21] i mean i cant read off the thumbdrive [19:21] I'm using NX to connect to it, not gdm [19:21] It seems the state module is disabled in my iptables. Anyone who have come across this problem before? [19:21] SpinachHead: Do you have the CD still? [19:21] yes [19:21] technomensch: I am not sure what you are showing me? [19:21] alt install [19:21] Thanks, twfxfnf. Firefox is a) not loading home page on start-up b) incapable of bookmarking c) address bar doesnt change with a change in the page d) Fast dial isn't showing up and e) forwards and back arent working.

My screen is supposed to have refresh rate 60 but when I open "screen resolution settings" it has refresh rate 51 and i can't change it. Is there anything wrong with my xorg.conf? [19:21] SpinachHead: put the CD in, add it as a repo (if you installed from the alt CD, its already there), and you can install ndiswrapper from the CD [19:21] your good news: linux works [19:21] How do I hide a partition from Ubuntu? It shows up in the Places menu but it's not in /etc/fstab. The only option is to "mount" it. I want to hide it. [19:21] install another browser that isn't lame [19:22] try opera, links -x, dillo, midori, epiphany... [19:22] is there a tut for adding cd as repo? [19:22] how to get apache2 user? i need edit my sudoers, but i dont know the user [19:22] I have Opera already as a back-up [19:22] keystr0k: Try deleting the mounting point, that might work. I don't know anything else besides that. [19:22] jim_p, that doenst work... how can I see if its running? [19:22] Flecha2: i will pm you the lines ok? [19:22] * twfxfnf reads the log [19:22] ScornInPC: it should be in your apache2 config [19:22] Can I igrone some users from irssi's away-log? [19:22] jim_p: pls [19:22] how to turn the volume down on USB audio? the volume control doesnt work [19:22] i also dont have the nvidia drivers installed, so have to work from f1 i guess [19:22] GodfatherofEire: if you uninstall firefox and reinstall it does that fix it? [19:23] Dalem50, I cannot find the mount point! arg. [19:23] * Dalem50 can't wait for the 11 days. He tries the Beta version on a VM and it doesn't install right? :-( [19:23] willluongo: ok, i will look for [19:23] I've installed Ubuntu 8.04.11, and it was running fine, then I had to reinstall because it wouldn't boot properly, and prior to that the WLAN was no longer functioning. So I reinstalled, and everything was going fine for the next several days. Then this morning, I ran into the same problem. It won't boot up. When it is booting it says some file is missing, I think the file name was something starting with cmd, can't remember what fo [19:23] yeah, try that [19:23] keystr0k: Then I give up xD [19:23] oi [19:23] oi [19:23] oi [19:23] jim_p, found it.. it was called "nm-applet" [19:23] louise: i dont know the name sorry [19:23] oi [19:23] if i had to guess, i'd say you were missing libxml or something [19:23] Is there some way that I can repair the missing files without reinstalling Ubuntu entirely? [19:23] tudo bem ? [19:23] lol [19:23] Dalem50, give up xD? [19:23] oi [19:24] oi [19:24] willluongo: nothing [19:24] Terabytten: yes if you know what file is missing [19:24] jim_p, what should I do now? [19:24] oi [19:24] try @firefox [19:24] ScornInPC: did you isntall it via apt? [19:24] #firefox [19:24] willluongo: yes [19:24] oi [19:24] louise: sudo gedit /etc/networking/interfaces [19:24] keystr0k, why do you want to hide the partition? xD [19:24] Okay, so what process would I take if I knew what file was missing? I don't suppose you'd know what file it is just by my saying the first three letters of the filename were cmd. [19:24] louise: sudo gedit /etc/network/interfaces [19:24] Keystr0k: Try searching the forums on that. [19:24] i made a mistake [19:25] Dalem50, Okay... I'll keep searching. thakns. [19:25] Any idea as to what the problem is? [19:25] ScornInPC: I believe the default then is daemon [19:25] can someone take a look at this and tell me why my computer goes to this black screen? here is the pastebin-http://paste.ubuntu.com/59788/ [19:25] oi === Sadok is now known as Korfox [19:25] keystr0k: Sorry bud, but I don't know how to hide a partition at all... [19:26] willluongo, dont work too ... =/ [19:26] ScornInPC: it is in /usr/local/apache2/conf/httpd.conf [19:26] jim_p, I have only two lines there: auto lo AND iface lo inet loopback [19:26] Flecha2: your fluxbuntu lines seems fine [19:26] ScornInPC: What exactly are you trying to do? [19:26] Terabytten: in terminal type sudo find / -n cmd* [19:26] twfxfnf, any ideas as to what the problem might be though, seeing as how I spent a great deal of time setting it up [19:26] Dalem50, It's all good. [19:26] jim_p: hum... that is no good [19:26] Um, that's the file that's missing, how am I going to find it there? [19:26] And every other browser clogs my system [19:26] Oh wait, live cd. [19:26] nvm [19:27] Terabytten: well, I'm conveying to you how many files in the filesystem start with cmd [19:27] Invalid predicate error. [19:27] willluongo: this file dont exists! /etc/apache/httpd.conf yep ... i need put this user in my sudoers, becase i need execute system() in my php scripts [19:27] Oh, I see. [19:27] Hello, I'm trying to find the madwifi.sh needed for my atheros driver fix. [19:27] Can anyone help? [19:28] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=798485&highlight=Atheros <--I'm using that as a guide. [19:28] did you try google Firstmate [19:28] Yes I did. [19:28] It says I can find the file at: http://madwifi.org/ or http://snapshots.madwifi.org/madwifi-trunk [19:28] Terabytten: it happens to be a few, not too many, but if its cmdline, then that could be a problem [19:28] But neither show the file. [19:28] Okay then, so once I find the file name that it's missing, how do I go about reinstalling that driver? [19:28] That sounds right. [19:28] when I link my program, I'm getting "undefined reference to 'dlopen', 'dlsym', 'dlclose'" linker errors. Does anyone know how to fix that, or know whether that's a problem with the compiler itself? [19:28] Can I igrone some users from irssi's away-log? [19:28] That sounds dead-on, actually. [19:28] !irssi [19:28] Irssi is a terminal based IRC client. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Irssi for help. [19:28] Is there a fix? I've had this problem twice now. [19:29] shawn-p: you might want #ubuntu-programming, but see -ldl [19:29] Another question, why did I just call it a driver. [19:29] ScornInPC: I am not sure what is going on with your system, that is the default location for the conf file and the default user... [19:29] should I add that explicitly to the build commandline? [19:29] Terabytten: it depends on the exact file missing, you could mount that installation from your live cd and move the live cd version to it, but if the file is a configuration file, then there could be some problems [19:29] and i cant answer your last question :-p [19:30] lol [19:30] is there a way to fix/repair a root filesystem without having to boot up a live cd? [19:30] Anyone? [19:30] twfxfnf, any idea as to how to fix it though? [19:30] Does anyone know a IM client you can use in terminal? :-/ [19:30] willluongo: corse no, but, thanks for help [19:30] irssi Dalem50 [19:31] goat|lappy: What I mean't was something you could use to connect to more than IRC?

[19:33] Okay, so if I don't care about saving the files that are on the installation of Ubuntu already on my HDD, how could I go about fixing this issue in the fastest way possible? [19:33] I know what APT is... [19:33] Or do I have to go into the terminal, purge FF, and re-install? [19:33] Dalem50: then sudo apt-get install finch [19:33] giacomo_carissim: I have no idea what you mean by "repair" [19:33] hey i need some help [19:33] im on a live cd [19:33] goat|lappy: Sorry, I was just being lazy :-) [19:33] Dalem50: that tells you the commands to install packages [19:33] and i need to save my configurations [19:33] when you run fsck, it scans for problems and fixes them jrib, like that [19:33] but i cant [19:33] jrib: ...., I know.

[20:07] rozzo: Goto your volume control on your System/Preferences Menu and let me know when you get that done [20:08] Flare183, use alsamixer [20:08] is there a way to "stack" file copy operations (so that if you copy and paste two separate times, the second one doesn't start until the first one finishes)? [20:08] I have tryed easybcd and it didn't work so i uninstalled it [20:08] Alphasoldier83 [20:08] ActionParsnip, well, the error is reproducable with me [20:08] ActionParsnip: that was my best guess, I'm afraid. It's possible that the site's not using a mechanism to request a password that firefox can "see", I guess. I imagine it'd be easy to write up a login box in javascript ff couldn't see.

Cheers [20:08] ActionParsnip, if you want, you can always view the page source. i think firefox looks for certain ids on the input boxes, and this site doesn't follow convention [20:08] keystr0k: i think hardy has that option [20:09] !ask | Aeonis [20:09] Aeonis: Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily).

[20:09] Aeonis: you can then mount from that or even add an entry to fstab [20:09] jabagawee: Looks good, but the person that recieves help needs to be able to get help with really minimal installation, p+referably none. [20:09] goat|lappy, Is there some kind of preferences utility for that? [20:09] xyz: And I would ask that in #ubuntu-offtopic [20:09] Flare183, tHanks ok [20:10] hello [20:10] !newuser | tim__ [20:10] Sorry, I don't know anything about newuser [20:10] !newusers | tim__ [20:10] tim__: documentation is to be found at http://help.ubuntu.com and http://wiki.ubuntu.com - General linux documentation: http://www.tldp.org - http://rute.2038bug.com [20:10] dvyjones, i assume that you're helping windows users. if you're talking about supporting linux users, they have to know how to forward ports on their router [20:10] do you guys know of any java decompilers that come with ubuntu ?

Ubuntu is on my 40 gb (master) and a SATA secondary hard drive. It's about 320 GB and I can't seem to see it on my list in my "Computer" area. I do see it in my 'fdisk -l' command though.

[20:11] cfm: most there run ubuntu-eee [20:11] Gentoo developers and the community supporting it think differently about "releases"... the distro simply continues to progress daily... negating the need for the stigma of a "release".

I would like to find out. One thing that bothers me is that is a second hard drive I can touch and feel and in GParted, it only shows that I have like 298 GB on GParted.

[20:17] i thought you said [20:17] ciaoo [20:17] lars_bauer: depends on who your mail provider is [20:17] "My sister...promiscuous mode" [20:17] and i got really excited [20:17] tj13820, are you related to tj83 [20:17] ogsc: That sucks. Kind of like a memory cap on a 32 bit os? [20:17] Riovane: how did you install virtualbox [20:17] twfxfnf: stay on-topic please [20:18] goat|lappy: Is there by your knowledge a way to create a script that will allow me to install all programs in a sort of unattended way? [20:18] so iĺl say it again, does anyone know if it is possible to get a webcam driver for a generic ¨Tri Quest Web Cam" [20:18] jrib: refer to pm [20:18] jrib, right now we need a #ubuntu2 [20:18] paul68, what programs? [20:18] maniheer: no [20:18] hharvey: eject the dvd and put it back in. What errors do you get? [20:18] hey why is ther no command line option to disable BLUETTOOTH SUPPORT in the installer [20:18] jabagawee: i can't do apt-get because i have no internet which is what i'm trying to solve now [20:18] !webcam | tj13820 [20:18] tj13820: Instructions for using webcams with Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Webcam - Supported cams: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsMultimediaWebCameras [20:18] jrib: sudo apt-get install virtualbox [20:18] I just went to this page to try to fix my video resolution... help.ubuntu.com/community/FixVideoResolutionHowto. I put in these commands... sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.custom [20:18] md5sum /etc/X11/xorg.conf |sudo tee /var/lib/x11/xorg.conf.md5sum [20:18] sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg... But instead of doing ANYTHING to my video, it just redoes my keyboard. Anyone know what I am doing wrong? [20:18] paul68, just use aptitude with the -y switch [20:18] Aeonis: similar. it's all about marketing :) [20:18] sorry typo. hey why is ther no command line option to disable BLUETOOTH SUPPORT in the installer [20:18] paul68: what do you mean install all programs? [20:18] jamesish: half the problems on freenode are nvidia closed-source drivers. users come to linux with the wrong mindset...i remember as a noob, being completely unable to understand why windows, for all its flaws, could install video drivers with a simple *.exe, but under linux (debian woody) it was a nightmare. [20:18] mib_72oxjm: does your system have bluetooth? [20:18] Reign, rig up some ethernet connections [20:18] ActionParsnip NO FUCKIN SHIT! i know that already but that guide doesn hep me with my driver [20:18] ActionParsnip: not at all [20:18] Whats the best way to chance partition sizes using a live cd? qtparted? [20:18] jabagawee: all programs that I want to install when I do a fresh install of ubuntu for example [20:18] !language | tj13820 [20:18] tj13820: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [20:19] tj13820: your meltdown only makes it harder [20:19] ompaul, #ubuntu2 needed [20:19] !remaster | paul68 [20:19] paul68: Interested in remastering the !Ubuntu !LiveCD? See: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCDCustomization or use Tools such as http://uck.sourceforge.net/ or http://linux.dell.com/wiki/index.php/DRU_Disc_Remastering_Utility [20:19] ActionParsnip: the install cd just hangs after "STARTING BLUETOOTH" THO [20:19] jabagawee: that's what i'm trying to do with nforce drivers... [20:19] mib_72oxjm: I wouldn't be so sure this is a bluetooth issue. Did you 'check the cd for defects'? Did you try the alternate cd? [20:19] heres my other question if i have a wireless router can i use that as a wifi to link to another wifi ? [20:19] "melt down" LMAO, nice one [20:19] tj13820: you need to find out what chip your webcam is using and drive that [20:19] jabagawee: TemViewer fits perfectly for my needs... [20:19] what is the keyword to type in /etc/nsswitch.conf to tell the system that my dens server is on 192.168.1.2? [20:19] jrib: i did. SAME RESULT! [20:19] tj13820: and get a new attitude [20:19] or #ubuntu-peak [20:19] jrib: i get unable to mount location, no media in drive [20:19] dvyjones, then by all means go for it, i'm not stopping you [20:19] it is a generic Tri Quest Webcam [20:19] maniheer: stop. You're making it worse with the chatter [20:19] jrib: how would you describe the alternate cd in short [20:19] Reign, the computer with nvidia is wired or unwired right now? [20:20] maniheer: its only 100 more than usual :-P [20:20] and i have "an attitude"due to the respone of !webcam that i got 20 times before anyone decided to help [20:20] jrib: i tried three different versions of the install cd, same result [20:20] hharvey: what kind of dvd is this? [20:20] i alreaady installed easycam2 and all other files [20:20] ubtu: you still there? [20:20] jabagawee: wired to my laptop to do some ICS to get internet. Trying to get internet on the PC is becoming a nightmare [20:20] mib_72oxjm: what 3 different versions exactly? [20:20] jrib: its a store bought dvd video [20:20] tj13820: generic or not, you still need to find what chip it has, lsusb will give a line pertaining to the webcam, you can paste it in here and websearch as well as I will [20:20] paul68: did that remaster stuff answer your question? [20:20] Strider22: ubottu is an bot.... [20:20] Is there a better, safer alternitive to NFS on Ubuntu [20:20] hharvey: does this happen with other DVDs? [20:20] jrib: 7.10 cd and dvd. and 8.10 cd [20:20] jrib: yes it oes [20:20] i have a problem with this guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/WithFloppies . i followed it and it worked so far, i adapted it to use a newer version of debootstrap, and told it to use hardy instead of hoary. Everything worked perfectly untill the step where it tells me to "base-config new" in the "setting up the ubuntu system" part of the guide. bash says "command not found" [20:21] ActionParsnip: thank you, i will do that. Now i have something to work with [20:21] mib_72oxjm: the alternate cd is not the same as the desktop cd [20:21] !alternate | mib_72oxjm [20:21] mib_72oxjm: The Alternate CD is a classic text-mode install CD. It supports a wider range of hardware than the !LiveCD, and can also be used as an upgrade CD. Look for the alternate checkbox on the Ubuntu download page - See also !minimal - Torrent at http://releases.ubuntu.com/8.04.1/ubuntu-8.04.1-alternate-i386.iso.torrent [20:21] jrib: but it must be bluetooth issue since none of the above worked. no cd error. [20:21] goat|lappy: well you do a clean install of ubuntu and after that you want to install all the programs that you would like to have installed like for example firefox thunderbird cute ftp and others [20:21] jrib: sudo apt-get install virtualbox [20:21] goat|lappy: did not have the time to check yet === MR is now known as Guest53816 [20:21] Hello, anyone know if there is a way to allow VNC from SSH? I'm trying to test something though I need to do in X. I do have SSH available. [20:21] I need auth on NFS [20:21] mib_72oxjm: not necessarily. Just because the last thing you see on your screen is "no bluetooth [OK]" doesn't mean it's a bluetooth issue [20:22] Hmm. [20:22] goat|lappy: but this is for a live cd or am I wrong here [20:22] paul68: you can use the dpkg --get-selections command... output the results to a text file... [20:22] jrib: what could it be???? [20:22] Batty4: you can export your X display over ssh [20:22] paul68: you can do the remaster thing to get a perfect set of applications, but yes, if you know exactly what programs you want, you could setup a simple script to install all progs at once [20:22] jrib: it sucks [20:22] Riovane: output of: dpkg -S $(which virtualbox) [20:22] paul68: which you can then use to feed into spkg again to install the packages [20:22] mib_72oxjm: I don't know. Try the alternate cd to see if it works [20:22] jrib: it happens to all dvds. [20:23] jrib: can you give me the link to the new 8.10 alternate? cant find it [20:23] goat|lappy: how would I procede with that ? [20:23] OptimismPrime, any specific reason you're doing this with floppies? [20:23] mib_72oxjm: check cdimage.ubuntu.com [20:23] I just went to this page to try to fix my video resolution... help.ubuntu.com/community/FixVideoResolutionHowto. I put in these commands... sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.custom [20:23] paul68: if its a small set, then do you know how to start a shell script? the header info? === DevS is now known as devs [20:23] sorry foubd it http://releases.ubuntu.com/releases/8.10/ubuntu-8.10-beta-alternate-amd64.iso [20:23] hharvey: don't know then. Can you pastebin the exact error you are getting and the output of dmesg afterwards? Does the drive work for unencrypted DVDs? [20:24] BriteLeaf, what seems to be the problem? [20:24] @jabagawee: it's a realy old laptop that can neither use USB bootdevices nor read burned CDs on the internal CD-Rom === Tange2 is now known as fourwheels [20:24] paul68: you would just add to the header, apt-get install prog1 prog2 prog3 [20:24] goat|lappy: no sorry [20:24] I have done everythiung that site said to fix my video resolution, but the commands it has me do just resets up the keyboard. Any ideas? [20:24] the only way to get any kind of data into it is via a USB Ethernet-Card [20:24] paul68: http://www.hsrl.rutgers.edu/ug/shell_help.html [20:24] jrib: I get the same unable to mount location with all DVD formatted discs [20:24] OptimismPrime, mm, so you have reasons. yeah, i dont really have any experience with floppies. beyond my time :P [20:25] hharvey: CDs too? [20:25] hehe [20:25] OptimismPrime, if you had the patience, i guess you could do a pxe boot + tftp server [20:25] there is no way to network boot [20:25] BriteLeaf: may you like to fix your video resolution over "sudo displayconfig-gtk" in an terminal? [20:25] never mind that then [20:25] jrib: no just dvd [20:25] goat|lappy: I'm still learning to make everything working and a bigtime newby [20:25] the network card is an external USB Ethernet card [20:25] no way to boot from it [20:26] hharvey: k, pastebin that info to see if we can find something interesting [20:26] paul68: with time, alot can be learned [20:26] Basically I am getting 800 x 600 as my best res... I know I should get better. [20:26] I will try that ort [20:27] i just need to figure out where that "base-config" thing is....there is a linux running i chroot'ed into, it downloaded all the install files onto the laptop, all i need to know is how to get it start the installer [20:27] paul68: i would read that link, and create a file in nano called initial_install_apps.sh or something, and in that file start with the #!/bin/bash part, thats the header i was talking about, then a couple lines down, the sudo apt-get part [20:27] goat|lappy: I'm aware of that the only problem I have is that I need an example to understand whats happening in a script [20:27] hello [20:27] will try the alternate cd now [20:28] hey jrib i wanna install ubuntu to my usb stick, will this work from the alternate install cd too? [20:28] mib_72oxjm: not sure, but did you see the guide on help.ubuntu.com? [20:28] jrib: was trying to do it via the live cd, but cant but it [20:28] Is it possible to have two pointers and two keyboards in one X session? [20:28] jrib: help on what? [20:28] !install > mib_72oxjm [20:28] mib_72oxjm, please see my private message [20:28] I tried the displayconfig-gtk. rebooting now [20:29] mib_72oxjm: I think there are instructions there on installing to usb [20:29] BriteLeaf: okay [20:29] goat|lappy: ok how would I make the script check if the apps are correctly installed? [20:29] i'm running fluxbox, and it's nice and plain. but when i started some app all my interfaces changed to the gnome settings with rounded corners and such. can i reset that without restarting my computer? [20:29] hharvey: use paste.ubuntu.com instead of flooding me in a query please... [20:29] ortsvorsteher, if what I'm reading correctly won't work as I'm a windows box. :( http://www.usenet-forums.com/linux-networking/60693-export-x-over-ssh.html suggests I need a local x server. [20:29] no jrib what im asking is this: can i install TO a usb stick from the alternate too? its not possible usually but with a script from pendrivelinux.com [20:29] question is will it work too from the alternate [20:29] hi can someone help me? I have a problem with my internet connection in ubuntu 8.04 [20:30] !ask | sezitas [20:30] sezitas: 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. :-) [20:30] mib_72oxjm: you should read the help page that ubottu sent. It has instructions for precisely your situation [20:30] Batty4: thats true. you asked for vnc over ssh session? if you are on a windows box, there must be an local x server... [20:30] angusthefuzz: as in two mouse cursors moving at the same time on the screen, each allowing its own actions? [20:30] mib_72oxjm: yes, that's on the page I linked you to [20:30] hm ok soundray [20:30] ok thx === rw is now known as rw_na [20:30] damn i closed the view [20:30] paul68: hmm, i would say you could get the info from dpkg --get-selections, how many programs are you talking about? [20:30] could you send it again [20:30] Helminthe: correct, i read that it may be rolled into Xorg 7.4, but I thought there might be a way to do it with my current version [20:31] ortsvorsteher, you probably misunderstood. I want to enable the ability to run RDP, by logging in with SSH. I was reading this guide, and I'm not at my computer. :( http://maketecheasier.com/set-up-a-vnc-server-in-ubuntu-hardy-heron/2008/05/30 [20:31] hey guys anyone have any idea why my friend gets and NTLDR error at boot, instead of GRYB menu. The only way he can boot either ubuntu or windows is with the ubuntu CD in drive, I tried resoreing his GRUB but that wouldnt work either [20:31] goat|lappy: hold on I'll check [20:31] !install > mib_72oxjm [20:31] mib_72oxjm, please see my private message [20:31] !install > mib_72oxjm [20:31] alguem fala portugues? [20:31] thx [20:31] ortsvorsteher I probably worded wrong again. Bad habit. :( [20:31] in windows my mouse turns off when it is booting [20:31] mib_72oxjm: unfortunately it seems like it just uses the live cd to copy it over to a usb. maybe you can find something though [20:31] mauricio: cayate cabron [20:31] tuxxy__: means his system is booting to a location that doesn't have grub [20:31] Batty4: no problem :) whats exactly what you want to do? [20:32] ok jrib [20:32] tuxxy__: are there two disks? [20:32] tambem te amo [20:32] tuxxy__: is there more than one hard drive?

[20:32] ortsvorsteher I want to access X on my home computer. I'm at work now. I logged in with SSH to try to enable. And I think I need to hit a checkbox to enable the connection on the remote computer. [20:32] podes falar em espanhol que te entendo [20:32] paul68: can you pastebin it so i can see? [20:33] goat|lappy: sure hold on [20:33] Helminthe: did you follow any tutorial, can you link me? I have dual screen, maybe it wouldnt be so bad? [20:33] does anyone know how to install nvidia nforce drivers [20:33] goat|lappy: theres is 2 disks ye but only one disk is used for storage [20:33] is there any compination (taskman) like ctrl+alt+del in ubuntu (system monitor) ? some times its hangs..

I connect through DHCP no rooter directly conected [20:34] nivin: system -> administration -> system monitor. To kill an app, the easiest way is to run 'xkill' in a terminal and then click on the app [20:34] jahnkeanater: sure, just make it start system -> administration -> system monitor [20:34] angusthefuzz: http://wearables.unisa.edu.au/mpx/ this is the project I tried [20:34] If I want to destroy a firefox user profile and make a fresh one what would I do? [20:34] thanks Helminthe [20:35] ortsvorsteher correct. I'm on Windows (work) and not able to connect to x on my (home) linux box [20:35] paul68: most of those are installed in the system in a normal install. what are you trying to accomplish?

[20:35] jrib, elaborate? [20:35] my internet works in windows but not in ubuntu, not even on the ubuntu live cd [20:35] asdf [20:36] csilk: you'll see when you run it. It will give you the profile manager [20:36] mauricio: mine works by default [20:36] in openoffice calc, is there a way to tell autofill which values in an equation to increment and which ones not to? for example, my eq could be A2*B2, and i want to increment to B3, B4, etc... but keep A2 constant. is this possible? [20:36] jrib, sorry, you meant run as in the command, lol [20:36] seriously: my cat walked on my keyboard & now my screen is in a visually impaired mode. It is huge & following the cursor around. How do I get to normal? [20:36] csilk: right [20:36] sezitas: let me understand, u cannot connect to internet now with ethernet ?

If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-) [20:37] csilk: Profiles are stored in your home directory in the .mozilla (hidden) directory. You can go in there and erase individual profiles if you really want to. [20:37] mauricio: do you see the device in lspci? [20:37] goat|lappy: the goal is that a program like firefox with all the plugins thunderbird , filezilla php mysql ruby on rails squirrel enz are installed through 1 script without passing through synaptic [20:37] mauricio, your intnernet only works in windows as well? [20:37] Anyone know how to enable RDP (connecting to a linux box from a windows box). I'm currently at the remote connection using windows. I have SSH ability to reach remote computer. [20:37] my monitor froze sry [20:37] i'm running fluxbox, and it's nice and plain. but when i started some app all my interfaces changed to the gnome settings with rounded corners, gradients and such. can i reset that without restarting my computer? [20:37] i will take a look now [20:38] thanks bobertdos [20:38] !fstab [20:38] The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions [20:38] hmm, well, the plugins with firefox might be a problem [20:38] yes [20:38] paul68: [20:38] goat|lappy: and that I can use this script on each workstation that needs a fresh install kinda like a unattended setup without the kernel [20:38] itś there [20:38] hi [20:39] !pm | nivin [20:39] nivin: 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. [20:39] hey which of shakespeare's works would you recommend for a start [20:39] nivin: what window manager are you using? (metacity or compiz fusion) [20:39] mauricio: then the hardware and driver are talking, do you just not see any wireless networks? [20:39] mib_72oxjm: try #ubuntu-offtopic for those type of questions [20:39] !pm | mauricio [20:39] mauricio: 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. [20:40] hi! Can anyone tell, how can make nautilus open .sh files run in console with left click. Just adding "gnome-terminal" didnt do it. [20:40] can anyone help me, for some reason hardy seems to be locking up really often now, I didn't even add or remove any hardware. My syslog gives some messages about eth0 going into and out of promiscuous mode, then it records my hard restart, which implies that it was still working at the time it froze, but just wasn't responding. Anyone know what I could do? [20:40] jrib, compiz fusion [20:40] goat|lappy: does that make any sence to you? [20:41] looks like 800 x 600 is all it is going to give me =( [20:41] sorry [20:41] !x > BriteLeaf [20:41] BriteLeaf, please see my private message [20:41] I'm having internet connection problems [20:42] mbrigdan: I am an Ubuntu noob, but in troubleshooting, I'd see if you can disable that device in BIOS maybe and see if you can boot into Ubuntu with that. If that works, then you may have a corrupt driver. [20:42] anyone knows a command to get aware of the situation and understand why the conection is that bad? [20:42] im new [20:42] nivin: if you install compizconfig-settings-manager, in ccsm you can set keyboard shortcuts [20:42] The monitor says in the voice of Star Trek's Scotty.... I'm giving her all I can captain! She has no more to give! =( [20:42] paul68: i can see setting up a simple script to get all that you want installed, i could even make it pretty quickly, but for the FF plugins, you may want to make a default profile for firefox, and then tar up the .mozilla directory, and that could be packaged and untarred in the installer [20:42] me too mauricio [20:42] welcome [20:42] nivin: gnome-system-monitor is the command for the system monitor by the way [20:42] mauricio: what laptop? [20:42] HP Pavillion dv5000 [20:43] mbrigdan, you can do as Aeonis said, and you can also disable the wireless by holding down the [fn] button and f2 [20:43] that web site is where I have been, but thanks ort [20:43] mauricio: usually there is a laptop hardware wireless switch, do you know of one for your laptop? [20:43] sorry... bobertdos [20:43] After_Math: Its not wireless, its a built-in ethernet card [20:43] anyone? [20:43] jrib, now video card is not detecting now i installed earlier and it was working [20:43] !chmod [20:43] An explanation of how files and directories are organized on Ubuntu, and how they can be manipulated, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LinuxFilesystemTreeOverview [20:43] cmmon! no one uses termina? [20:43] BriteLeaf: What card do you have? [20:43] goat|lappy: ok I understand if you could help me out without the firefox plugins it would be great just a sample would be highly appreciated [20:43] How do i find out what vrsion of UBUNTU I have via commandline? [20:43] mbrigdan, ah ok, then you will have to do it in bios, or just disable it in network manager if you can get that far :) [20:44] teminal* [20:44] are talking about a switch in thr laptop hardware? [20:44] ShinobiTeno, I use terminal [20:44] mauricio: yes [20:44] Riovane: lsb_release -a [20:44] if positive there is a hardware switch [20:44] hello, i was wondering if someone could help me out, i have a failed management system [20:44] can i get some help with adding the user www-data permissions to my super user? using the gui i do not see a group for the user www-data and did not know where to go from here. [20:44] ShinobiTeno: What do you need to do? [20:44] goat|lappy, his problem isnt with wireless [20:45] when i press it [20:45] after_math, do you know how to make nautilus open .sh and run it in terminal? [20:45] the log appears [20:45] bobertdos: ATI Radeon X1650 [20:45] After_Math, adding "gnome_terminal" as assoc didnt do it. [20:46] Oct 19 16:48:29 MahaDeva kernel: [ 933.143285] iwl3945: Radio Frequency Kill Switch is On: [20:46] what i am trying to accomplish is have my super user have read write access to files that are owned by www-data user [20:46] After_Math: Well, my problem here is that I can't be sure if thats whats causing the problem, because I get all sorts of stuff that happens in the syslog that doesn't appear to do anything. [20:46] ShinobiTeno: It would probably be better to leave Nautilus out of it and use the terminal entirely. [20:46] Oct 19 16:48:29 MahaDeva kernel: [ 933.143291] Kill switch must be turned off for wireless networking to work. [20:46] ShinobiTeno, did you try right clicking it and opening it with terminal? with the 'open with other application' optin [20:46] After_Math, thats exactly it tried. [20:47] After_Math, empty terminal opens. [20:47] BriteLeaf: Which drivers are you using? [20:47] ShinobiTeno, why do you want to do it that way anyway? [20:47] After_Math, further no action. [20:47] ShinobiTeno, give me one second, let me try something [20:47] !chown [20:47] After_Math, getting around with shell programming... [20:47] The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome) or K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE). Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal [20:47] ShinobiTeno, well its not that hard, ./file [20:47] fglrx? I've tried open sorce and proprietary both [20:47] i am having trouble with my dvd drive. I installed libdvdcss2 and everytime I try to watch or load a dvd, I get the same "Unable to mount location: No media in drive" error. This only happens to DVD formated discs and not regular CDs. I posted the result from my dmesg on pastebin; url is http://paste.ubuntu.com/59820/ [20:48] After_Math, you mean "gnome-terminal ./"? [20:48] Aeonis: was the syntax of chown a hint for me? [20:48] mbrigdan, well if I were you I would backup my stuff and do a fresh install [20:48] ShinobiTeno, no, inside the terminal, but ima try a few things [20:48] no maszlo. I have a second harddrive that I FINALLY got mounted, but now I dont' have permissions to do antyhing to it, so I'm trying tofigure out how to access it. [20:48] sorry if I offended. I am very new to this "Linux" [20:49] So I need to upgrade to PHP 5.2.6 for a bug-fix in sockets, but when i do apt-get it says it has none to get, how should i upgrade? [20:49] After_Math, thx i know. Im just trying to make naut. lauch sh on click..( [20:49] must i compile source? [20:49] Aeonis: you need to add a uid option to it [20:49] Aeonis: not i was looking for guidance on the groups/ permissions.. i can help you with the hdd [20:49] !mount | Aeonis [20:49] Aeonis: For help with partitioning a new install see: https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/switching/installing-partitioning.html - For partitioning programs see !GParted or !QTParted - Other partitioning topics include !fstab !home and !swap [20:50] hharvey: Do you also have libdvdread3 installed? [20:50] my cat walked on my keyboard & now my screen is in a visually impaired mode. Everything is huge & the screen follows the cursor around. How do I get to normal? Can someone even tell me what that mode is called so I can search the web for it. I've been trying the whole time. [20:50] After_Math, best if in a terminal also. [20:50] some could help in wifi? [20:50] anyone know how to exctract a daa file or convert to iso? [20:50] bobertdos: yes I do [20:50] Techboy: that would currently be the only way, but it's generally speaking a pretty bad idea to install something, especially a language interpreter, like that... [20:50] whats the best way to set my storage HD's in standby with hdparm on startup? can i use /etc/hdparm.conf to set standby time at bootup, or do i need a script? [20:50] I can only read 4 words at a time. [20:50] Aeonis: did you mount the drive manually or did you mount if through nautilus? [20:51] manually. What is Nautilus? Better than GParted? [20:51] !backports | Techboy, you may request a backport [20:51] Techboy, you may request a backport: If new updated Ubuntu packages are built for an application, then they may go into Ubuntu Backports. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuBackports - See also !packaging [20:51] hharvey: Which player are you using? [20:51] ShinobiTeno, well I dont know if you want to do this but open a terminal, just drap and drop the .py file and hit enter, thats pretty easy [20:51] After_Math: Really? I'm just going to try waiting until Intrepid comes out, or see if it fixes its-self (It randomly started, maybe it will stop just as quickly and mysteriously) [20:51] Strider22: the fix will probably be under System/Preferences/Assistive Technologies.. beyond that .. maybe have the cat walk across it again :) [20:51] bobertdos: vlc [20:51] Aeonis: its the filemanager .. not the same thing as gparted [20:51] <\Kira> Im trying to configure kubuntu's boot, but Im unfamiliar with the boot sequence. I think it goes: GRUB, Usplash, kdm, then my login splash. But on kdelook it has options for the bootsplash and gfxboot. Were are those in the sequence? [20:52] ah I see. thanks [20:52] After_Math, hmm any way to do same with left-click in nautilus? [20:52] Techboy: but it's probably unlikely they'd backport an interpreter. another possibility, which should still be better than compiling from a tarball, would be to compile from the Intrepid package (add Intrepid source repository to sources.list, "sudo apt-get update", "sudo apt-get build-dep php5", "sudo apt-get --build source php5") [20:52] where does the default pdf printer of ubuntu stores the pdf? [20:52] is it good to use maszlo ? [20:52] After_Math, i need this stuff( [20:52] mbrigdan, are you suing the beta right now? [20:52] Aeonis: so you have the drive formated and then mounted it fia the mount /dev /folder syntax? [20:52] After_Math: Nope, I'm using Hardy [20:52] hharvey: hmm, try something else, like mplayer or totem-xine perhaps [20:52] goat|lappy: some idea? [20:52] ShinobiTeno, as far as I know , I dont think you can. BUt maybe someone else in here can help. DId you search the web? [20:52] After_Math, well thanks for the idea!) [20:52] wortbit: it's under /home//pdf [20:52] After_Math, yep of course [20:52] How to configure myth tv? [20:53] Aeonis: nautilus is the application that you view your files, for example places _ Home [20:53] wortbit: or Places/HomeFolder/PDF [20:53] ahhh...I don't know if I have that maszlo [20:53] Scunizi: thaks! was ~/PDF ;-) [20:53] mauricio: sorry, no, after_math was starting with something, but I'm not sure what he was alluding to [20:53] bobertdos: still nothing [20:54] LjL, Intrepid sounds like good idea to me. Thanks [20:54] wortbit: didn't know if you knew what ~ was so I "elongated" it :) [20:54] mbrigdan, well the beta fully supports my wireless card now which is nice because I had to use hacked one before, And here are always updated versions of the beta day by day, and you can use a newer one, and all the updates till the final release will be the same thing as the final release [20:54] whats the best way to set my storage HD's in standby with hdparm on startup? can i use /etc/hdparm.conf to set standby time at bootup, or do i need a script? [20:54] mbrigdan, I would suggest using the beta [20:54] bobertdos: I cant even access the drive itself [20:54] Scunizi: ;-) I know what you mean. [20:54] Aeonis: its standard in ubuntu.. its actaully besides the point.. was just stating that its differnt than gparted. what all have you done to get this second drive setup? [20:54] After_Math: So you would say that the Beta of Intrepid is stable enough to use? [20:55] mauricio, goat|lappy whats the question? [20:55] LjL: http://git.debian.org/ being the source repository? [20:55] i installed ubuntu 8.04.1 on powerpc and now it doesn't boot. it simply displays a white screen. i cannot ctrl+option+f1, and i cannot boot mac os x. any ideas what to do? [20:55] After_Math, maybe Ill just write a script to do this, put it to /usr/bin and add it to /usr/share/applications/opentermandrun.desktop) [20:55] I'm working with ActionParsnip maszlo. We got it going right now. I'm going to see what happens from here! If we can't figure it out, I'm going to find you and see what I can learn. [20:55] mbrigdan, I upgraded about a fortnight ago and almost nothing worked properly. I ended up reinstalling gutsy [20:55] Techboy: no, no [20:55] mbrigdan, well I wouldnt say stable, its still beta, but for me its been working fine, and has fixed my problem with my wireless, its your call thought ultimately [20:56] wortbit: the cups-pdf driver is a little weird.. if you need to change the size of the paper before printing you need to do it off the File/Page Setup menu of the program you're printing from. If you try to change the printer default properties while trying to print it won't work. Just FYI [20:56] ShinobiTeno, lol I thought you wanted to get around shell scripting ^^ [20:56] does anyone know why screen and graphics are hidden in usr/share/applications imo it's kinda dumb [20:56] please help me to configure myth tv [20:56] !list [20:56] Hi!

My screen is currently set to 1280x1024 50hz, I want it to have 60hz but when i type "sudo displayconfig-gtk" and change the model to Generic Monitor 1280x1024 60hz etc and click OK and restart, the settings are reset back to 50hz. [20:57] gotcha maszlo~ [20:57] bobertdos: any suggestions? [20:57] hi [20:57] hi all [20:57] LjL: Ah thanks [20:57] please help me to configure myth tv [20:57] mmr: I think generic will only do 50hz.. it's the safest mode for an lcd that has not reported to the driver what it's capable of.. [20:58] mmr: how did you get displayconfig-gtk to run? [20:58] hharvey: So, the drive isn't even mounted? [20:58] dtech: open a terminal and type "sudo displayconfig-gtk" [20:58] ok i tried everything i could do to fix my grub error 17, is there any way to just completely re-install grub? [20:58] mmr: if you have an nvidia card you might try nvidia-settings to make the change.. do it from terminal and start it with sudo nvidia-settings then save the changes to the xorg file. [20:58] bobertdos: the drive mounts when I put in a CD, but any other time, it says Unable to mount [20:59] Scunizi, I choosed Generic as manufacturer and LCD Panel 1280x1024 as model [20:59] Caanot login to database [20:59] I did that too [20:59] bobertdos: im running on a laptop [20:59] but same problem.. didnt work [20:59] bobertdos: it has an internal cd/dvd/blu-ray drive [21:00] hharvey: well yeah......So, in VLC's options, what is the device path set to for DVD playback?

[21:03] bobertdos: honestly I dont know what Im looking for [21:03] mmr: mine is also capable of 60hz.. I gave up trying to change it because 50hz works fine for me even for games, and it was taking too much time to find a solution.. just because it's capable doesn't mean you have to use it.

I disconnected a hard drive, and suddenly grub stopped working. the hard drive didn't have grub on it, or linux. it was just a NTFS drive [21:08] cwill747, usb or internal? [21:08] bobertdos: .......wat am i supposed to do? [21:08] sn007ake: depends on what kind of card you have [21:08] After_Math: internal, it was a SATA drive [21:09] cwill747: There is a tool called supergrub ... http://www.supergrubdisk.org/ [21:09] cwill747, thats strange, was that the master drive? [21:09] After_Math: nope [21:09] hharvey: I'd actually reboot, just to see if it'll mount again. [21:09] I have a fresh install and i am not sure my 3d grafix are working........

No? [21:24] Flare183, thats not even relevant for hardy, it uses iwl3945 by default problem is the driver itself is immature [21:24] oh [21:24] cwill747, I think its in /boot/grub [21:24] cwill747, somewhere [21:24] usser: sry [21:24] Flare183, np [21:25] After_Math: ah, oh it seems to easy. haha i'm thinking i found a small problem. lemme exploit it and i'll get back to you [21:25] llo [21:25] err helo [21:25] hharvey: Alright, let's check to make sure the drive isn't dangling.

That should start a low-res X with displayconfig-gtk running automatically [21:32] tried "sudo displayconfig-gtk" and "gksu displayconfig-gtk" similar error on both [21:32] Aeonis: "gedit", not "edit" [21:32] dtech: do you read me?

[21:43] Riovane: Is Firefox the only application where this is a problem? [21:44] Riovane: running 'sudo firefox' breaks firefox. Try 'sudo mv ~/.mozilla ~/mozilla-config-junk' and try again.

[21:45] techsupport: you can hit 't' in fdisk to change the partition id [21:45] Is anyone using libdvdcss2 successfully for copying DVDs [21:45] Aeonis: no. Delete "iocharset=defaults,unmask=003" and put "defaults" in its place [21:45] soundray, ok thanx, which id # is best for NTFS ? [21:45] DavidCanarias: I'm sure many people are [21:45] bobertdos: the firefox one? [21:46] techsupport: I don't know. Look through the list for HPFS or HPFS/NTFS [21:46] where did my pidgin settings go :( [21:46] I'm sorry jrib, I don't understand. I'm very new to this. So I just do "/dev/sda1 /media/storage defaults"? [21:46] jrib: I have copied DVDs OK and duplicated, but I can't do it successfully now. Any idea why? [21:46] soundray: Yeah, I thought of that other guy we had the other week that screwed up his Xauthority, so I was having him check that too. [21:47] dtech: I see.

Im used to gentoo not ubuntu how to I work around this bug [21:47] Hello? [21:47] Aeonis: yes, that's what I said so far. But you need to make more changes. You need to replace "/dev/sda1" with the UUID for that partition. And the last two fields should be "0" and "2".

[22:04] jrib: well, when i open terminal, i have "jeff@lenovomon:~$", but when i try to scp to jeff@lenovomon, it says that the "host/servname not found". i just "sudo passwd" and reset the password, but it still wont take it as localhost, root or jeff [22:04] installing X and gnome on a ubuntu server, how do I proceed? [22:04] chaosrl: ok. Lets troubleshoot a single case. What happens when you do 'ssh localhost'? [22:05] so, theres no GPLed "chm" exquivalent..? [22:05] Aeonis: now just run 'sudo mount /dev/sda1' [22:06] can i look for the content of package in the repository? [22:06] jrib: ssh: connect to host localhost port 22: Connection refused [22:06] dimm: packages.ubuntu.com or apt-file to search package contents [22:06] I have messed up. I have fiddled with grub and in some way, with the help of parted of course, lost the partition on one of my harddrive. Does it exist a program that can restore this partition= [22:06] ? its ext3 [22:06] okay...well, ActionParsnip and I got this far earlier jrib, but problem is that I don't have access to do anything to that drive. [22:06] chaosrl: did you install openssh-server? [22:07] hharvey: Okay, not helpful in the way I was wanting, but the other interesting thing would be to try DVD's from the livecd (if you have enough RAM to install some packages). [22:07] Aeonis: you need to set permissions. How will you be using the drive? (multiple users, etc.) [22:07] jrib: i thought i did but asking it to install shows that i didn't [22:07] !permissions > Aeonis [22:07] Aeonis, please see my private message [22:07] too bad you don't have another drive though [22:07] does anyone know if I need to have Xserver/gnome installed to use FreeNX on a server? [22:07] jrib: now when i use "ssh localhost" it prompts me for a password [22:07] DjViper: yes freenx is just a way to connect to X securely [22:07] chaosrl: your user's password (assuming you ran that as your user) [22:08] jrib - yes on the multiple users. Just myself and me lady. [22:08] dulak: yes, thought so, so previous question, how do I install x and gnome from scratch? [22:08] DjViper: you can install the meta package ubuntu-desktop for gnome and X [22:08] hmm okay [22:08] jrib: when i use my user's pw, it brings me back to a prompt (after some stuff about ubuntu being free software, etc) with jeff@lenovomon:~$ [22:09] !wine [22:09] WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine for more information, and see !AppDB for application compatibility. [22:09] chaosrl: yeah. You just sshed. Type 'exit' to logout [22:09] did a reboot, still cant see the wireless [22:09] Aeonis: take a look at ubottu's link. You have some options as to how you set up the permissions. Feel free to poke me if you are stuck [22:09] gotcha jrib. [22:10] jrib: ah, i see. after logging into my university account via ssh, the command "scp "something.doc" jeff@localhost:Desktop/" still prompts for a password that isn't my user's password [22:11] chaosrl: it isn't localhost from your university account [22:11] chaosrl: it's jeff@ip.address.of.your.home.machine.here [22:11] is it possible to watch movies from an ipod video in ubuntu?

[22:14] ActionParsnip: that could be hard... All files in the ipod are encoded and not stored in "Movies" or anything of the sort [22:14] anyone aware "chm" equivalent on linux exists? [22:14] chaosrl: the quick way is to just scp it backwards [22:14] whats the name of the other software I can use thats VMware like [22:14] chaosrl: so try it the other way round: from your laptop use scp @server:/path/to/file .

[22:19] [Gloom]: firestarter [22:19] iptables is the best [22:19] [Gloom]: use what you prefer [22:19] [Gloom]: iptables hands down [22:19] node357, you mean convert HTML to GNOME DocBook format? [22:19] ufw ftw [22:19] [Gloom]: ufw is just a frontend for writing iptables rules [22:19] ShinobiTen1, looks that way. I'm not familiar with it though [22:19] <[Gloom]> aha [22:19] <[Gloom]> ok, i'll do it the old way then [22:19] <[Gloom]> thx [22:20] node357, k thx for info! ill dig on it.

[22:21] ActionParsnip: do play an internet game (money involved) [22:21] chaosrl: it's the ip address of the linux machine, if you run ifconfig on your linux box it's the ip you show there [22:21] Hello. I recently moved from 32bit ubuntu server to a 64 bit version, and I'm trying to load up my raid5 array that I'd built in the old install. when I try and mount it, I'm getting errors about there being no superblock, but mdadm --examine /dev/xxx where xxx is any of the partitions in the array looks clean. [22:22] that wont do with 'wine firefox.exe' [22:22] kri: i sed to play mystic realms of alhanzar back in the day [22:22] Kri, run a hypervisor program from U and run Windows in it. I would personally keep U as my Host OS. [22:22] hello! 8.04 amd64 user. How does the "preload" daemon function? Does it need any tweaking for it to work? Is the extra RAM really worth the speed boost? Is the fact that it runs as root a security risk worth my attention? [22:22] Where did my sound go for flash, it works for everything else just flash videos have no sound [22:22] fluffycloud12345: a hypervisor? you mean like vmware? [22:22] kri: im guessing you need shockwave player [22:22] and they used to have sound and work just fine until now [22:23] Kri, correct. A free version is Virtualbox, there are others.

I want to make one called "home", but I didn't know if that would conflict with anything. [22:24] kri: get a firefox plugin that changes the user agent [22:24] dulak: it worked! thanks! [22:25] chaosrl: np [22:25] tobiasu: where do i find that plugin? :) [22:25] there should be a windows-live-cd [22:25] Aeonis: seems ok.

You also need to change the group of /media/storage with: sudo chgrp homeusers /media/storage [22:38] can we try linux mint with virtualbox?

I have a core 2 duo processor and 2 gb of RAM [22:59] I may upgarde to 4 gb. [22:59] Aeonis, afaik virtualization system that allows to switch oses on the fly, with no main os.

Like where I choose what OS i boot into, or I can be in Ubuntu and go into the other program and choose what OS I want to use? [23:00] ;) [23:00] Aeonis, heard it to be used in corporations. google plz. requires OS support, but should feet you purpose, if youre searching for a tool to make several oses run on one machine in parallel. [23:01] Aeonis, virtualbox is a program that allows you to boot an OS directly within it - without you having to leave the main host OS at all [23:01] Lokian, Gimphoto. Gimpshop is based on pretty old interface. I do however find GIMP much prettier then psd. [23:02] Aeonis, so that means you are essentially running another OS side by side with the host [23:02] Aeonis, xen is a virtual machine monitor for IA-32, x86, x86-64, IA-64 and PowerPC 970 architectures.

[23:33] ollie: it means it's not a command.... type sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf [23:33] ollie, we could help you more if you tell us what your ultimate goal is, I'm not entirely sure you want to play with xorg.conf [23:33] i cant take my resolution to ist fullest [23:34] Ok, have you got a grfx driver installed? [23:34] Ollie: what type of graphics card do you have? [23:34] when i was with win 98 i could go up to something like 1200 [23:34] 3fdx voodoo3 [23:34] win98! [23:34] my god [23:34] lol [23:34] its a relic [23:34] Oh dear gawd!! [23:34] you have an OLD card [23:34] but it can go higher that 800 res === Tob1 is now known as Boab [23:34] is there a good channel for general, non-ubuntu hardware questions? [23:34] 1024X768 is probs the maximum [23:35] strAlan, #hardware [23:35] yes [23:35] 1280x1024 interlaced is the max for voodoo3 [23:35] im sory what is the name of channel fr ubuntu please and iam sorry for my englich [23:35] thats what i should be getting [23:35] K-O-D, I tried that but no one replying :( [23:35] strAlan, I believe you are in it [23:35] wait, so the cd has the ndiswrapper-commond but not the utils. so I cant use ndiswrapper then, right? [23:35] K-O-D, thank you though [23:35] instead i am only getting 800 [23:35] 1024x767 non-interlaced [23:35] After_Math, thank you too [23:35] strAlan, they arent a very chatty bunch [23:35] strAlan, sorry I didnt see the Non hardware :) [23:35] huh? [23:35] guys when is the next ubuntu coming [23:35] K-O-D, I'll keep trying [23:35] SpinachHead: ndiswrapper-utils-1.9 is the actual package name [23:35] also does anyone speak japanese here ? [23:35] My gosh, I would have never even thought of those. I think the open source drivers are pretty much the only ones available for those, what do you think, guys? :p [23:35] After_Math, it's cool [23:35] <[Gloom]> how can i start the live cd in vesa mode? [23:36] dulak can we talk in private? [23:36] Kitar88, soon [23:36] ah, thx again [23:36] Kitar88, 2 weeks? [23:36] i find this confsing [23:36] in debian there's a program per default where i can login using GDM in a new window (i think using Xephyr or something like this), anyone knows how that program/package is called? [23:36] wow thanks ;) [23:36] Kitar88, you can get updated version of the beta, the beta is working for me :) [23:36] can you update from the beta to "retail" ? [23:36] when it gets rlsed [23:36] ollie: no, I haven't used a voodoo in like 5 years, I just remember it was a bitch to get 1280x1024 out of it and the newer drivers probably don't even recognize it correctly [23:36] Kitar88, sure can :) [23:36] great [23:36] bobertdos, do you think this driver would work for ollie http://packages.ubuntu.com/hardy/xserver-xorg-video-tdfx ? [23:36] magentar, xnest probably - for the GDM, the program is called gdmxnest (i think) [23:36] Kitar88, all the updates up till the release is what will be the Final release [23:37] thanks ;) [23:37] also do you maybe speak japanese [23:37] so u dont know how to get 1280x1024? [23:37] lol [23:37] ollie: I don't remember how I did it no [23:37] :-( [23:37] is there a new vlc deb for 8.04.1 ? [23:37] csilk: That's the only one I can even think of, hehe! === k4rn13l is now known as k4rniel [23:37] ollie, i think I know how [23:37] yay [23:37] eheh [23:38] ive been trying for like 3 months [23:38] how? [23:38] although it's not guaranteed to work because your hardware is from the 1990's [23:38] magentar, http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?searchon=contents&keywords=gdmxnest&mode=exactfilename&suite=hardy [23:38] lol [23:38] 1997 [23:38] ollie follow this link http://mirrors.kernel.org/ubuntu/pool/main/x/xserver-xorg-video-tdfx/xserver-xorg-video-tdfx_1.3.0-6_i386.deb [23:38] ok [23:38] unop, thanks [23:38] thx [23:39] install that by double clicking on it, tell me when it has installed [23:39] magentar, that means if you have the GDM installed, you have this utility by default [23:39] unop, it's a little different though i think in debian i was able to do sth like Applications -> System tools -> login in a new window [23:39] why did that open kate? [23:39] csilk: I'd almost forgotten those even existed. [23:39] but gdmXnest should be fine [23:40] magentar, i'm pretty sure it's the same thing - though the menu entry on debian might be using different switches, etc to gdmxnest [23:40] csilk y did that open kate? [23:40] great, thanks [23:40] it shouldnt [23:40] :-S [23:40] ollie, is it a .deb file [23:40] well it did [23:40] ollie, where did you save it too? [23:40] whats debian binary? [23:40] i just clicked the link === recon_etc is now known as recon [23:41] where did you save the file too? [23:41] the link should of downloaded a file [23:41] right [23:41] im opening it with package installer [23:41] good [23:41] i love my old relic lol [23:41] i got it christmas 1997 [23:41] lol [23:42] almost 12 years old [23:42] yeah, i was 12 when that card was new [23:42] yeah I remember running quake 2 on the voodoo3 [23:42] fun times [23:42] 11 years ago -_- [23:42] woo quake [23:42] lol [23:42] i used to have that [23:42] i have had it upgraded tho [23:42] it came with 21mb ram [23:43] hey does anybody know why i wouldnt be able to get on the internet after i just installed ubuntu? [23:43] now it has 121 ram [23:43] Oh, the nostalgia!!! [23:43] ollie, did it install? [23:43] apparently its installed [23:43] ok [23:43] next step [23:43] bluescreenofdea: ethernet or wireless? [23:43] ethernet [23:43] its asking me if i want to reinstall [23:43] ollie, do this http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=84530&postcount=1 [23:43] 1 sec [23:43] then logout and back in [23:43] it shoul dbe working [23:44] bluescreenofdea: Have you installed all the updates? [23:44] Hello [23:44] updates? [23:44] I have lost sound for all non--KDE 4 applications! [23:44] Bluescreen, try reboot first. If this does not fix the issue you will have to go in to the network properties and undo dhcp and it will work. [23:44] bluescreenofdea: In a terminal, type sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade [23:44] laggg [23:45] Bobert, if he can not get online he will not be able to get updates. :p [23:45] fluffycloud12345: true enough, I've been helping too long today. [23:45] hi anybody got any idea what I can to get my keyboard back to normal, I have check xorg.conf, gnome keyboard settings, delete xmodmap.conf but still my keyboard is all over the shop [23:45] Bluescreen, try to go an look at your NIC properties. [23:45] sudo apt-get update [23:45] csilk : and also since yesterday i cant shut down or restart only hybernate do you know why? [23:45] shit [23:45] wrong laptop lol [23:45] Bobert, I am sure you have bro, no worries :p [23:45] in applications like gedit it seems okay but in nautilus console etc it is completely bonkers [23:46] What day does 8.10 come out? [23:46] 'Officially' [23:46] 31st of oct isnt it? [23:46] fluff: Ey Bro, youre from da islands ? [23:46] bluescreenofdea: Okay, ignore what just came out of my half-dead brain. Try ifconfig in the terminal. Do you have an eth0 interfaces and IP address? [23:46] Ahh okies, thx. [23:47] anny1 want some of my lag? [23:47] Dansk: nah man, Florida here. [23:47] yes [23:47] i have loads to go arround [23:47] * sarixe skdjf [23:47] ifconfig? [23:47] anything after that or just ifconfig [23:47] bluescreenofdea: Yes, it's a terminal command [23:47] !ifconfig > bluescreenofdea [23:47] Sorry, I don't know anything about ifconfig [23:48] haha [23:48] bot fails [23:48] bluescreenofdea: just ifconfig [23:48] anyone have an iphone and get it working to sync in linux? [23:48] !test [23:48] Hi [23:48] sigh... again? I'm busy here, I already told you it failed. [23:48] k it says command not found [23:48] * sarixe dies [23:49] k n/m [23:49] i typed it wrong [23:49] Whenever I don't have xserver-xgl installed, compiz wont work (turning up visual effects says composite extension is unavailable).. but my two screens work right (maximizing a window on the right screen makes it only fit that screen, not both screens, etc...) and my gnome panels are only present on the primary screen [23:49] Fluff: I am from Denmark, but been on da islands fo' vacation and my ex bro-in-law is from da island - he's kama-aina. So I have heard pidgin :-) [23:49] Da islands=Hawaii... [23:49] when I install it, compiz works and everything.. but my dual display setup is no longer right.. now, it's like one giant screen [23:50] k it gave me a big description of eth0 [23:50] and not like a true two-screen setup.. any idea how to get compositing to work without xserver-xgl? [23:50] nacitar, ati? [23:50] csilk: 8800gtx [23:50] nvidia. [23:50] shame [23:50] I just downloaded the latest ubuntu ISO, Desktop version. I went to livecd boot, and it began to load--and after 1 minute it booted me, without any errors, into a barebones busybox shell [23:50] What? [23:51] bluescreenofdea: Use pastebin and give us the link, please. paste.ubuntu.com [23:51] huh? [23:51] !info | amarok [23:51] amarok: Retrieve information on a package: !info [23:51] im kinda slow could you break that down a little? [23:51] !info amarok [23:51] amarok (source: amarok): versatile and easy to use audio player for KDE. In component main, is optional. Version 2:1.4.9.1-0ubuntu3 (hardy), package size 9386 kB, installed size 30784 kB [23:51] * sarixe hi [23:52] I'm not sure why xserver-xgl is making it act like one giant screen magically. [23:52] Bluescreen, try looking at the top of your desktop for system> administration>network and there after you put in your password it will give you the network properties (as in windows xp) for example and basically take off automatic ip and change it to DHCP. I believe this will fix your issues. Essentially the other way is IFCONFIG as Bobert is telling you. [23:52] i tried that still didnt work [23:53] its says im connected but it wont let me get on the net [23:53] Bluescreen, Do basics, such ask pinging your gateway making sure the cable is properly conx etc. [23:53] bluescreenofdea: oops, gah, I'm too used to my network never failing :p [23:54] * Dark_Shikari wonders if anyone even saw his question [23:54] bluescreenofdea: I'm mostly just interested in whether or not you have a valid IP (inet ip4) address [23:54] Dark_Shikari, verify the burn was good. chose check disk when u boot the cd. [23:54] bluescreenofdea: Do you have one like 192.168.1.xxx? [23:54] how do i increase my virtual using xrandr? I'd like a 1024x768 next to a 1024x768, I currently have a 640x480>640x480. Getting a 'screen cannot be larger than 1280x1200' error. manually adding "virtual 1664 768" to my xorg.conf boots to console [23:54] Wicked: k, good idea [23:55] * Dark_Shikari used wodim though.... should work fine [23:55] Aloha :-) - I got a installation of 8.04 Server Ubuntu. When I look at the dir "/usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.24-19-server" I only see links like this: "lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 35 2008-10-19 11:57 Makefile -> ../linux-headers-2.6.24-19/Makefile"....So it points to itself....Is that ok ? [23:55] im running 2 laptops right now when my cable was plugged into the other one i tried pinging but it wasnt gettting anything and im using the connection on this one right now so i know me router and cable and all that works [23:55] umm i think [23:55] let me look [23:56] dulak, thanks for your help. I now have wireless connection [23:56] bluescreenofdea: If all else fails, do try to reboot. [23:56] SpinachHead: np [23:56] ya its 169.254.9.63 [23:56] bluescreenofdea: that means DHCP is failing [23:56] you mean reinstall it again? [23:57] you are resolving APIPA [23:57] so it has been 3 weeks and countless visits to this IRC chat .... but I am still unable to use Pidgin ... is there anyone here willing and able to go the distance in helping me sort this out? [23:57] RIght [23:57] dhcp? [23:57] bluescreenofdea: No, just reboot your system. If it doesn't work, we'll try something different. [23:57] Dhcp gives you ip addresses from your ISP or DHCP server. [23:57] Zackeroo: I have pidgin running on my Ubuntu.... [23:57] !resolution > csilk [23:57] csilk, please see my private message [23:57] k [23:58] Zackeroo: Whats your problem ? [23:58] Hello, I'm trying to recover or change the password of either the root or another username. I tried almost everything, but none works! [23:58] ASTURIAS, it's not possible [23:58] Danskmand : Pidgin will not remain open for more than 2-3 seconds [23:58] Why not? [23:58] ASTURIAS, you should probably just remember your password, or write it on your forehead with a sharpie [23:58] Are you running it directly on your linux ? [23:59] zackeroo: [23:59] Danskmand : Pidgin was working perfectly for quite a while and then just like that it closed and I was never able to use it again [23:59] I know it is possible to cange it, but some errors occurs [23:59] I know it is possible to cange it, but some errors occurs [23:59] Danskmand : I was running it just like it is in Ubuntu ... as is [23:59] please be more specific [23:59] drog, change** [23:59] !Zackeroo, have you tried to force quit all Pidgin processes?? [23:59] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :)
