[00:00] Jake_: What specifically is giving you trouble, just making it run? [00:00] pr0fane, are you keeping all of ubuntu on one partition? [00:00] interesting... [00:00] right now i have swap and root partition [00:00] soundless: http://www.ubuntux.org/shockwave-player-ubuntu-linux you will also need windows firefox and probably windows flash [00:00] I can't get the intrepid livecd to boot in kvm [00:01] Now im going to make home, root and swap [00:01] home partition should be as big as I want? [00:01] CCould someone with experience please help me install Ubuntu on a mac (mac mini to be precise), I get the flashing ? after install and I got / as ext3, and swap, removed efi bootloader and use grub instead. C'mon there gotta be someone here who got linux running on a mac [00:01] pr0fane, what are you wanting to do with your linux install [00:01] pr0fane, home is where the bulk of your personal data should be stored so ideally should be the biggest [00:02] ScreamingMonkies: Would windows firefox and windows flash be in synaptic manager also? Thanks for link. [00:02] ok [00:02] and what is the minimal size for root? [00:02] i dont knwo how to install it in terminal i cant i find anything on the internet [00:02] Jake_: If you are just trying to make it work you're going to need a few things first. I.E. Ruby packages [00:02] hi....help [00:02] how do I make a folder to need a password to be opened? [00:02] why my etc/rc.local don't run after boot? [00:02] pr0fane, depends on the software you install [00:02] i have no clue how to install it srry i am new to linux [00:02] ubuntu 8.10 [00:02] Jake_: No worries [00:02] soundless: No, you will need to get them from their normal locations and install like under windows [00:02] pr0fane, with or without gui [00:02] wow thnx [00:03] i'm new in linux......someone can help me'? [00:03] sure [00:03] gui is all the graphical stuff? [00:03] :D [00:03] lusio: Did you put the commands you want to run before the exit 0 line? Did you set the execute bit like it said? [00:03] pr0fane, yes [00:03] !ask | gian__ [00:03] I'm running Ubuntu 8.04, this morning my control key had stopped working in X11/GNOME - it works in another VT [00:03] gian__: 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. :-) [00:03] gui = graphical user interface [00:03] yes, with gui [00:03] how do I reconfigure or troubleshoot this problem?? [00:03] What is the channel for the release tomorrow? [00:03] victamower: try checking the keyboard settings in gnome [00:04] rww: chmod 755, owner root, there is exit 0 at the end [00:04] eitreach: #ubuntu-release-party for comments or #ubuntu+1 for help with intrepid problems [00:04] ScreamingMonkies: I've tried changing my keyboard type and changing it back [00:04] Is there a way to install versions of PHP other than the latest in the package system? i need to install php 5.1.6 to support an older app, but I'd like to avoud compiling PHP from source if at all possible [00:04] ScreamingMonkies: but no dice [00:04] pr0fane, 5G is the minimum i would recommend for a GUI install with a separate home partition you could go smaller if you know exactly what you are installing [00:04] i installed nmap and i can laucnh it with terminal and i can utilise it with terminal...but....where is the icon if i want the graphical interface? [00:04] Good morning all !!! can some one snd me a link to the ubuntu ebook [00:04] rww: Thanks. [00:04] okay, I turned off Desktop Effects and my Control key now works [00:04] ScreamingMonkies: I also needed adobe acrobat reader so I downloaded it. After 20 min. of downloading,message said it couldn't open. I have no idea where that file is now, there is no file called downloads that I can find. Will I run into same problem with windows firefox? [00:04] *facepalm* [00:05] so 5GB root partition + home partition? [00:05] i installed nmap and i can laucnh it with terminal and i can utilise it with terminal...but....where is the icon if i want the graphical interface? [00:05] why would my giFTcurs download every song as corrupted ? [00:05] gian__: install zenmap (sudo apt-get install zenmap) from the universe repository [00:05] pr0fane, correct .... although larger allows for you to play with more at once [00:05] I turned Desktop Effects back on and my Control key is broken again [00:05] rww: chmod 755, owner root, there is exit 0 at the end [00:05] ok , thx [00:05] gian__: that's a GUI frontend to nmap. The nmap package itself doesn't include a GUI, if i remember correctly [00:06] pr0fane, but 5G should be plenty to start with.... you can always enlarge it later [00:06] gain term is in apps>accesorys [00:06] soundless: There should be a repositry for acroread, if you just need to read normal pdfs the default software should work fine [00:06] is there a command to peek at the mail queue?? [00:06] i'm using sendmail [00:06] pr0fane, using gparted [00:06] then just type nmap [00:06] redrebel: mailq? === fehlgriff is now known as fehlgriff_ [00:06] what means gparted? [00:06] I turned off Desktop Effects, removed .compiz, turned them back on and my control is _still_ broken [00:06] ok ok..but...every time i install something i can launch it in terminal but i never found the icon.. sometimes in APPLICATIONS there is...but..sometimes...where are icon (as 666windows )? [00:06] what gives [00:07] ok ok..but...every time i install something i can launch it in terminal but i never found the icon.. sometimes in APPLICATIONS there is...but..sometimes...where are icon (as 666windows )? === fehlgriff_ is now known as fehlgriff [00:07] sudo apt-get install php5=5.1.6 fails as version not found :( [00:07] why is Desktop Effects breaking my Control key?? [00:07] ScreamingMonkies: True, I have been able to read PDF's with default software. [00:07] !lamp [00:07] LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+) [00:07] mailq works [00:07] they dont show up unless u make a shortcut [00:07] pr0fane, gparted will let you edit the size of the partitions without destroying data (though you should always back up important data first) [00:07] or launcher [00:07] what about a command to see what emails have been sent and received? [00:07] ok ok..but...every time i install something i can launch it in terminal but i never found the icon.. sometimes in APPLICATIONS there is...but..sometimes...where are icon (as 666windows )? [00:08] ok, thanks for the advice [00:08] gian__: most packages with GUI frontends will put an icon in the Gnome/KDE main menu. Is there another specific package whose GUI you're having trouble finding? [00:08] redrebel, look in /var/log/mail.log [00:08] !repeat | gian__ [00:08] gian__: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://wiki.ubuntu.com while you wait. Also see !patience [00:08] make your own right click on the app then goto create launcher [00:08] gian__: usr/share/pixmaps [00:09] redrebel: it depends a bit; outgoing mails will usualy appear in mailq, for incoming messages you will possibly need to find the directory holding incoming mail and then run the mail command pointing to that directory (not sure abot that() [00:09] What time will Ubuntu 8.10 be available [00:09] I'm trying to run a setup of Ubuntu Server 8.10. For some reason, when I enable ip_forwarding and setup the appropriate IPTables rules, packets still don't get nat'd. I'm doing the same thing I do on 10+ other boxes. Anyone have any ideas? Maybe new software installed by default? [00:09] is encrypting my filesystem a hard process and is there any risk that it will damage my files? [00:09] has anyone used VMware on Hardy? [00:09] i can look at the maillog [00:09] soundless: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Medibuntu if you do want the official acrobat reader its in there [00:09] why is Desktop Effects breaking my Control key? [00:09] ty [00:09] but i thought it would be nice to have programs that will generate a summary [00:09] personally I prefer the one that ships with Ubuntu [00:09] ty i didnt know that :D [00:10] How do I force the max resolution to be 1024x768? [00:10] redrebel: it's quite possible that they exist, I just don't know of them [00:10] bpgoldsb, did you set up nat? [00:10] are the launchpad repos valuable for up-to-date apps? [00:10] Anyone have the download link for the ubuntu ebook linux guide? [00:10] Sylphid: Yes, tried both -j MASQUERADE and using SNAT [00:11] How do I make my internal Ip static? [00:11] eth0 is the external interface, eth1 is the internal. I see packets come in on eth1, but never leave eth0. [00:11] why is Desktop Effects breaking my Control key? [00:12] i need a good command line partitioner [00:12] Hello , I'm having trouble again accessing my MySql server through my login and password or even using root as the login name... How can I reset my mysql settings or do a reinstall so I can be sure of the password ? [00:13] scientus: cfdisk (text interface) or fdisk (commandline) [00:13] are only the latest versions of packages available in the main repos? Do I have to find 3rd party pacakges for older versions? [00:13] ximal: your system PW or your SQL login? [00:13] cfdisk couldnt really understand my dick [00:13] and i dont like fdisk [00:13] I installed gftp via tar, but know where the heck is the program? [00:13] Ximal: sudo apt-get remove mysql ? [00:13] the ... hmm [00:13] how can i resize a ext3 with fdisk? [00:13] i'll try it i guess and see if that works bloop [00:13] Then sudo apt-get install mysql ? [00:14] Ximal: note that that will remove mysql [00:14] how dangerous is encrypting my file-systems? [00:14] qquit [00:14] ryan___: just type anywhere in terminal gftp.. [00:14] hellow everyone [00:14] that doesn't work friend [00:14] djhash: I did that and it did not work [00:15] did it tell you command not found? [00:15] Ximal: hmm. 1 sec [00:15] i don't fnd icons... people doesn't help..it's not a community... mister Linus T. shouldn't be happy for that.. bye .

[00:17] Ange1: go to System > Administration > Network [00:17] bpgoldsb, should have something like ....... 4476K 420M MASQUERADE all -- any eth0 anywhere anywhere [00:17] how can i create virtual users for SSH [00:17] Ange1: choose eth0 > Properties > Use Static IP [00:18] Sylphid: I can't copy / paste from the box atm, but yes, it's like that. [00:18] by any chance, does anyone know when 8.10 will get fixed nvidia drivers? or is this an ongoing issue? [00:18] phpstar: I'm not sure if you can.. you can create regular users though... and configure them so they can't logon locally [00:18] Hey, I just installed ubuntu 8.10 and the themes i normally use dont work right with it...on gnomelook.org what would be the proper section to look at for themes for ubuntu 8.10? [00:18] chsty_g4: #ubuntu+1 for help with intrepid [00:18] bpgoldsb, any drop rules in your firewall? [00:18] thanks, jrib [00:18] i m already having local users [00:18] djhash: I am an idiot and must have mistyped the apt-get on my initial try. That worked perfect. [00:18] Sylphid: No rules in filter/mangle, only the 1 rule in nat [00:18] Ange1: type your subnet mask (255.255.255.0), desired ip, and gateway ip [00:19] Sylphid: Default policy is accept === celso is now known as CelsoLeite [00:19] sudo apt-get remove mysql-client mysql-client-5.0 mysql-common mysql-server mysql-server-5.0 ; worked [00:19] ryan___: i was wondering earlier why you needed to compile gftp.. anyways.. you'll find it now under Applications -> Internet [00:20] isitoutyet? [00:20] Ximal: then try running the same command, but with install instead of remove [00:20] i went through synaptic manager to reinstall bloop.. [00:20] oh, ok [00:20] that's fine [00:20] seems I'm blind sometimes, is there a support chat channel for the Eclipse programming environment on this irc server?

[00:21] BCM4318 (Rev 02) ? no (ndiswrapper) No No No Works on and off with both Ndiswrapper and Fwcutter methods. The majority of the difficulty is just getting the connection. Ndiswrapper method has been working the best. [00:21] Sylphid: Yes. [00:21] SilentK - I've been having pretty good luck with the b43 driver [00:21] Sylphid: I noticed some new rules regarding rp_filter, but I disabled them to test. [00:22] SilentK - just hit System->Administration->Hardware drivers [00:22] is there a link to the ubuntu guide or a linux e book i can download for referrence so i dont bother to many people with questions in here :) [00:22] and have it enable the broadcom driver - it'll pull in the firmware for you, and it should "just work" [00:22] Dorobo18jp: the man pages and wiki.ubuntu.com? [00:22] bpgoldsb, are your internal ip's in the same subnet as eth1? [00:22] broadcom b43 wirless driver..

No wifis [00:23] Sylphid: Yes, and machines can ping eachother [00:23] hmmm, mine always worked well [00:23] on my 4318 (gateway laptop) [00:23] hello guys i just reinstalled 7.10 and have no sound [00:23] Can I use initrd.gz of gusty to install hardy? [00:23] on your wireless router, are you limiting to wireless-g only? [00:24] ? [00:24] I dont know [00:24] the b43 driver will only operate at 802.11b speeds, so if you lock your wireless router down to G-only, it won't see it [00:24] hey guys, having trouble with the ati xorg driver in 8.10, can't get any acceleration it seems...every boot it asks if I want to use low graphics mode or reconfigure/check logs/etc [00:24] also having to restart networking after every resume from suspend [00:25] mode b and g [00:25] channel auto [00:25] bpgoldsb, sounds like it should be working [00:25] !ubuntu+1 | cob [00:25] cob: Intrepid Ibex is the code name for Ubuntu 8.10, due October 30th, 2008 - Introduction and new features: http://www.ubuntu.com/testing/810rc - Use #ubuntu+1 for support, NOT #ubuntu - Discuss and party in #ubuntu-release-party (type also « /topic ») [00:25] anybody has an older version of skype?

[00:26] cob: then ask your question there.. not here [00:26] i will upgrade tomorrow [00:26] Sylphid: I 100% agree. Like I said, I've set this up 50+ times in the past on Ubuntu/Redhat/Debian/etc. It seems like something else has changed in Intrepid that is causing the issues. [00:26] cob: questions or issues should be discussed at #ubuntu+1 [00:26] When can I download the new ubuntu? [00:26] nm I see the other channel there now [00:26] cob: regardless of upgrade or fresh install its still intrepid ibex.. [00:26] Sylphid: Both machines are basically clean Intrepid installs with 1-2 extra packages installed (Tftp, dhcp-server) === marco_ is now known as jennifer_ [00:27] Sylphid: I'm doing it all under VMWare, so I'm setting up another VM with Hardy to make sure it doesn't happen in a basic install of Hardy as well. [00:27] bpgoldsb, eth0 and eth1 are both up correct? [00:28] hi, i'm using gdb under emacs and i want to highlight where i am during a step by step debugging, how i can o this?? [00:28] djhash: I know. [00:28] Sylphid: Yes. eth0 is 192.168.128.111/24, eth1 is 10.10.128.1/24. The machine can ping both nets fine. [00:28] How do I start an additional X server? [00:28] Sylphid: Also, the client (10.10.128.6) is not getting ICMP 'no route to destination' messages [00:29] Sylphid: It's like the router (10.10.128.1) is filtering the packets before it gets to iptables. [00:29] bpgoldsb, what shows up on the client in route -n [00:29] 10.10.128.0/24 via eth0, 0.0.0.0 via 10.10.128.1 [00:29] so can anyone help me with my wifi? [00:29] What's the best way to install dapper packages in hardy? [00:30] The packets definately GET to the router's interface, they may not get to the kernel [00:30] i am using joomla 1.0; anyone know if i install the latest full release 1.5.7 will it retain my 1.0 installation configurations? [00:30] Sylphid: The packets definately GET to the router's interface, they may not get to the kernel. I can see them arrive on eth1 via tcpdump. [00:30] Is it possible to have apt-get use an ssh tunnel [00:30] Hi guys! I am trying to install ffmpeg but it says it needs libavdevice52 but it cannot be installed and if I try to install it it asks for libdc1394-22 and when I search in synaptic, there is only libdc1394-13 out there! Am I missing a repository or there is some other explanations? Thanks [00:31] Dependencies should be resolved if you use synaptic [00:31] is there any way to edit the appearance of my workspace switcher? [00:31] bpgoldsb, can you ping the external ip on your router from the client and if not are the icmp packets at least making it to the router [00:31] XshoppyX, but it is synaptic which says it cannot install those libraries [00:31] no one has any idea about creating virtual users in SSH server ?? [00:32] K_Dallas: select all the sources for repos in synaptic and try again [00:32] oh well then try apt-get [00:32] #helgeland [00:32] and make sure your sources are correct [00:32] rambo298, thanks. will do it right away [00:32] Sylphid: No, I cannot ping the external IP. Yes, the packets are arriving on the internal interface. [00:32] any joomla gurus here? [00:32] rambo298: why not try a joomla specific irc channel? [00:33] is there an intrepid irc release party [00:33] ? [00:33] bpgoldsb, have you restarted networking after turning on ip forwarding? [00:33] Sylphid: Rebooted multiple times, yes [00:33] stove_pipe: /topic [00:33] stove_pipe, i think it is ubuntu+1 [00:33] stove_pipe: #ubuntu-release-party [00:33] K_Dallas: /topic [00:34] PriceChild, what should I look for in the topic?

This setup is a windows host / ubuntu clients / vmware server 2 [00:44] bpgoldsb, are the macs of eth0 on the 2 virtual machines different from each other?

Ubuntu switched eth0/eth1 between install and first boot. [00:54] how can i paste without http working? [00:54] Sylphid: So all my rules were backwards. [00:54] someone pls help [00:54] Slart: then what [00:54] Hoover_4000: add that one.. then you can add the trash can, desktop switcher and whatever you had there before [00:54] Hoover_4000: and you should be back to normal [00:54] bpgoldsb, ahh..... that would do it [00:55] bpgoldsb, glad you figured it out [00:55] Slart: thanks thats all i needed [00:55] dsotm: the debian/rules file contains the commands used to build a debian package; what are you trying to do with the rules file? [00:55] Hoover_4000: you're welcome.. don't forget the change the size of that window list if it's too small [00:55] scientus: privmsg it to that person? [00:55] is there a gnome channel? [00:55] Sylphid: So am I, though it makes me want to punch a wall ;) [00:55] but nobody has been helping [00:55] There used to be a panel applet that used to set up a temporary FTP server. Where is it? I can't find it. [00:55] angrylogic: oh, thats a horse of a different color. i need to change the reference to the smarty libs in gallery2 [00:56] MY NETWORKING IS BROKEN EVEN ON A WORKING ALTERNATIVE NETWORKING CARD [00:56] scientus, use the pastebinit command [00:56] I need to have a temp FTP server to transfer something... [00:56] there is a working driver but ubuntu likes to think it knows what it is oing [00:56] dsotm: are you talking about a dependency of the debian package? [00:56] Slart: thanks [00:56] angrylogic: yea, libraries it needs [00:56] http://sarah.watchhertits.com/?id=8cc196441ea58434504e08e5a95684a3 [00:57] spam ?...

[00:59] oiiiiiii [00:59] com vai [00:59] dsotm: then you'll want to modify the control file for that package and rebuild it. the control file will have a Depends: line with a list of packages and sometimes versions that it depends on.

[01:08] Hoover_4000: yeah but i use torrent for more than video [01:08] does vi or nano store a file extension? === Eisbar is now known as Jesus [01:09] or something that specifies the file type besides the filename? [01:09] w3rd_, the idea of a file extension - isent really used by linux.. its just part of the filename [01:09] Hoover_4000, ericjung: Azureus has some weird mode they call Vuze for online video.. but there's still a classic setting [01:09] w3rd_: why don't you just vi filename. ? [01:09] ericjung: ya but its really slow if it comes to torrents [01:09] Vuze is quite cool [01:09] Tyrath_ its alt+F1 [01:09] Any advice on running programs under wine, because so far I havent managed to get anything other than installers to run. [01:09] I know this isn't a programming channel, but I thought since it was g++ on ubuntu, I could ask here since it seems to be g++, since I get http://pastebin.ca/1240169 even with nothing in int main apart from return 0; [01:10] usser: thanks and is it in the lists of binds, so as I can rebind it? [01:10] well, this is the issue, im on a hosted vps that i dont have root access to and it appears that for some reason that when i try to create a file that is going to be used for apache it wont let me store an empty file with just a name [01:10] !wine > GodfatherofEir1 [01:10] GodfatherofEir1, please see my private message [01:10] Slart, ericjung: well they changed the name from azerus to vuze [01:10] is there a way to just store a file with a name and exclude any content [01:10] ?

[01:10] w3rd: touch in terminal [01:10] w3rd_: I thought that would do it? [01:10] me to.. [01:11] Kaxsp: download what? [01:11] Thanks [01:11] w3rd_: you've logged into the server yes? [01:11] oh i forgot about touch [01:11] ericjung: just disable vuze.. the classic mode is still the same torrent client as before [01:11] just a moment [01:11] w3rd_: username and pass? [01:11] GodfatherofEir1: you're welcome [01:11] w3rd_: bc in my opinion if you've logged in you should have root access [01:11] im logged in to the server Tyrath [01:11] no just shell access [01:11] its a shared server [01:11] ericjung: when i try to mention the word windows on here people start hating on me but all i can say utorrent is the best way in windows wish they make it for linux [01:12] Hoover_4000: runs perfectly under Wine [01:12] w3rd_: maybe you need root privs to write? i'm not sure [01:12] they have setup user groups pretty heavy and eliminated root use to all users other that admins [01:12] what time is 8.10 coming out at? [01:12] w3rd_, touch filename [01:12] is there a way to send all my audio through my onboard spdif port [01:12] compton it wont let me write the file with touch [01:12] i think that i need root [01:12] !intrepid > karl5765765 [01:12] karl5765765, please see my private message [01:12] Hoover_4000: what i mean is that if vuze sucks for windows it probably sucks for ubuntu, too [01:12] touch digest [01:12] touch: cannot touch `digest': No such file or directory [01:12] karl5765765, should be out already, any moment now [01:12] w3rd_: google vi? [01:12] heh [01:12] or :help [01:12] jrib, http://pastebin.ca/1240176 [01:12] whats a good program to scan for viruses that you know youve come in contact with, but dont want to spread it to windows users? [01:12] or man vi [01:12] w3rd_: you might now have permissions to write to that directory [01:13] Do you know if I could take the Ubuntu LiveCD, replace the default GNOME backgroud? [01:13] well i think id better just submit a ticket to my webhost [01:13] MetalHeadDead: clamav comes with some kind of scanner gui [01:13] MetalHeadDead, clamav [01:13] best of luck [01:13] bloopletech: what do you mean, this happens in all directories [01:13] w3rd_, what filesystem is the volume ? [01:13] i have tried multiple [01:13] MetalHeadDead: there are some commercial av-apps available too [01:13] ericjung: it takes like 10 minutes to download something utorrent does in 1-2 minutes [01:13] er... gimmie a sec unop [01:13] ok thanks [01:13] w3rd_: try /bin/touch ; your shell might have a built-in named touch or you might have it aliased to something else [01:13] w3rd_: even in you're home directory? [01:13] probably in home [01:13] can I edit files on the livecd iso before burning it? [01:14] Thedjatclubrock: be more specific. what do you want to change using the live CD ? [01:14] When using my Windoze pc to access my music directory on my samba server, I get User name not found. I can browse to the server fine, but as soon as I try to open the actual music folder, I get the error. My smb.conf is here: http://pastebin.com/d18c6dae1 Any ideas? [01:14] but i wouldnt feel comfortable storing a psswd file for htdigest in the home dir?

[01:15] it's really frustrating [01:15] hi every one again..... I getting: Error loading theme icon $1 for stock: Icon $1 not present in theme BUT the file exists.. please help!!! [01:15] w3rd_: in general shared hosts don't let you change files in /etc etc, only your hime dir and stuff you should be able to write to. [01:15] uname doesnt mention the site config unop, ill have to check the hosts site details [01:15] because it can read cds? [01:15] bobbob1016: have you installed build-essential? [01:15] bloopletech: im in /misc [01:15] Thedjatclubrock: can't help you with that, sure someone else here can. [01:15] XshoppyX, :) yes but it's not recognizing blank discs [01:15] jrib, I've done compiling before, I will make sure. [01:15] w3rd_, no, i mean filesystem as in EXTx, FAT, NTFS, etc [01:15] w3rd_, examining the output of the mount command should tell you [01:16] jrib, I did "sudo apt-get install build-essential" I had it installed already. [01:16] w3rd_: you probably dont have permissions on that directory [01:16] Hello. Is it know exactly to which hours Intrepid Ibex final will be out? If it is at 00:00 East time I will wait to install it ;) [01:16] #ubuntu-es [01:16] is there an evolution chanenel? for help or can i ask here [01:16] bobbob1016: have you installed anything to /usr/local/? [01:16] just wanted to ask one last thing. is there a way so that when you open up apps in terminal it displays the app name in the header? [01:16] philippe_: nope.. no exact time yet [01:17] ok [01:17] jrib, Not explicitly. [01:17] bobbob1016: what does that mean? [01:17] Tyrath: check the preferences.. there's supposed to be some kind of dynamic title thing.. I never got it to work though [01:17] when I do hdparm it says "ATAPI CD-ROM, with removable media" [01:17] jrib, I didn't install anything there, something might have been installed there, but I didn't tell anything to be installed there. [01:18] blookpletech: im going to attempt to specify another directory and see what happens... [01:18] is there anything ... some kind of framework that indexes all documents on a directory and provides searching capabilities through a web front-end ? [01:18] bobbob1016: do you have anything in /usr/local/? [01:18] jrib, bin etc games include lib man sbin share src [01:18] spx2: there is an indexer installed by default.. don't know if it comes with a webgui though.. [01:18] how do you store something just to bash [01:18] the reason i cant store it is cause i was using / [01:18] and im sure they dont let you save files to the / dir [01:19] Slart: can't find anything :( [01:19] bobbob1016: what is in bin [01:19] spx2: you might want to look at "beagle" too [01:19] This is too damn hard. [01:19] ~filename_to_store_to [01:19] ? [01:19] I need my wireless card to work. [01:19] Tyrath: it's in Edit, "Current profile" .. [01:20] is there a way to set up an animated email notification for my desktop in ubuntu ? [01:20] oh another thing with key binds. I've binded the windows key to applications but as a result all my binds with windows key don't work... is there any way around this other than changing the key configs? [01:20] i cant get firefox in spanish! how do i do that? [01:20] this is so annoying! [01:20] Tyrath: but as I said.. I've never been able to make it work sensibly [01:20] w3rd_, you probably want this instead. ~/filename [01:20] oh yah. [01:20] jrib, http://pastebin.ca/1240183 I actually did put 3 things in there, senicon (both of them), and waterping. They tell compiz's water effect to do a water ping on gnotify. [01:20] w3rd_, ~filename would interpret filename as a user's name - you need the slash to make ~ represent your own home directory [01:20] k [01:21] Slart: yeh mines already set on replace initial title :( [01:21] Tyrath: yea.. so is mine.. it's never replaced anything so far [01:21] Slart: lol. even on intrepid :/ [01:21] koparg: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html [01:22] I need advice in regards to setting up a lan repository for an installfest this weekend anyone have any links?

[01:43] <^Oink^> Flannel, I have never heard of that before in my life. Does that work with every distribution? [01:44] Flannel, all that needs happen is that the application holding the X grab needs to be killed, does REISUB help with that?

[01:47] seivan: just by running it... i never encountered your problem [01:47] Fezzler1: er, oh, doing the shrink/expand thing? Every sort of disk operation carries some risk of data loss. But assuming you perform the erase/expand on the correct partitions (instead of erasing the partitions you're using), your risk is minimal.

[01:54] Winkie, entire system freeze. only hardboot will recover [01:55] mistform: have you run memtest? [01:55] lazukars_: so that's probably not related as downloading a file is not going to cause gnome to fail. Did you do anything else? [01:55] Winkie, yes. [01:55] [01:55] I would like to know What time will ubuntu 8.10 Sortier officiale and what time zone if you like [01:55] Winkie, it's usually when my CPU is under load for more than 10 minutes.

I did sudo lshw -C netowork and my atheros driver is "UNCLAIMED". I installed one of theirs using Windows Wireless Drivers and it didnt seem to do much. Now what? [02:14] scunizi: well am not that of a smart person in linux and ave no idea what you are talking about [02:14] but yeah 10/100/1000 was what i was asking about [02:14] My ethernet works, thats how I'm on here now. [02:14] scientus: install either 'ethtool' or 'mii-tool' [02:14] either will tell you [02:14] 8.10 gonna be availible via update manager at midnight? [02:14] Hoover_4000, you want to run/install a program ending in .run right? [02:14] Winkie, here is the file: http://pastebin.ca/1240217 [02:14] !isitout | DigitalFiz [02:14] DigitalFiz: Ask in #ubuntu-release-party - we don't know here [02:15] scunizi: yes [02:15] Any smart guys want to help me? I just got my video card working and I am LOVING linux =P [02:15] scunizi: according to ubuntu all i have to do is allow execution and then run it in terminal [02:15] amt2: nothing wrong with that that i can see, i'm not sure if it will write to /var/log/messages but you should check that out [02:16] PassionFRUI7E: ask any questions you have [02:16] scunizi: i have tried it but it doesnt seem to work [02:16] Hoover_4000, ok.. go to Applications/Accessories/Terminal and a new window will open .. kinda like a dos box. Where is the file located ? on the desktop? [02:16] I did sudo lshw -C netowork and my atheros driver is "UNCLAIMED". I installed one of theirs using Windows Wireless Drivers and it didnt seem to do much. Now what? [02:16] im running intrepid and im trying to configure a vpn connection via network connections but i cant add a vpn [02:16] its release day - but no download availiable - any news there? [02:16] *netowork->network [02:16] scunizi: i know that what next [02:16] Winkie, I don't have a messages directory in /var/log [02:16] update? [02:16] amt2: it should be a file [02:16] Hoover_4000, change to the directory with the file.. [02:16] oh... [02:17] the issue is I don't want to have to install something on every machine I remote in with. My other machines will change frequently. [02:17] PassionFRUI7E: i'm afraid i don't use wireless, so i wouldn't be able to help you [02:17] Winkie: Thanks for trying. [02:17] I'm having trouble switching ISOs to install a program. I started by using GMOUNT since I couldn't get daemon tools to work. It mounts okay, but it will NOT let me switch ISO during installation when prompted for a second cd, like daemon tools does. So I figured I could kill the program and do it that way. No, that didn't work, I ended up being forced to kill the setup.exe which ended the whole installation. I then tried mkdire fakecd, then [02:17] Winkie, would you like to see the log? [02:17] scunizi: thats the problem i dont know how to change directory, its on my desktop [02:17] CardiacKid: it's probable that java applet VNC clients exist, in which case you could run a HTTP server on the machine [02:17] * Crashbit pa la cama! [02:17] amt2: if you like, it should be relatively obvious if there are specific errors in there [02:17] makedir* [02:17] mkdir* [02:18] Hoover_4000, ok.. type ... cd /home//Desktop or as a short cut type ... ~/Desktop [02:18] Oh how i missed Ubuntu no more windows on this laptop. [02:18] Hoover_4000, what's the program? [02:18] Winkie, http://pastebin.ca/1240221 [02:18] I did sudo lshw -C netowork and my atheros driver is "UNCLAIMED". I installed one of theirs using Windows Wireless Drivers and it didnt seem to do much. Anybody here able to autodetect wifi? [02:18] hmm. maybe biting off more than I can chew with that method. Is there a prefered VNC viewer for vista/XP? [02:18] scunizi: its the hp printer thing [02:19] Hoover_4000, driver? [02:19] what should i use to burn my video movies to DVD, so i can play on dvd player [02:19] 8.10 release - When? [02:19] Hoover_4000, k.. you in the right directory now? [02:19] !isitout | luddite [02:19] luddite: Ask in #ubuntu-release-party - we don't know here [02:19] scunizi: its a program available via hp for those using linuz [02:20] amt2: yeah nothing obvious in there, is this an external drive? [02:20] how do i add a new user to smb? [02:20] Flannel - thanks [02:20] nvm [02:20] scientus: man smbpasswd [02:20] Hoover_4000: hpijs or something? That's in the repositories; you don't need to install it manually. [02:21] Winkie, no, internal [02:21] rww, glad you knew that [02:21] Winkie, the laptop has 2 drives by default [02:21] anyone have luck with the compal jhl90 webcam? [02:21] amt2: hmm, i didn't see the second internal drive in that file, that's not entirely a good thing [02:21] noobie here looking for some help, in need of some good resportories anyone? [02:21] amt2: show me the output of `ls /dev/sd*' [02:21] scunizi: try sudo apt-get install hpijs. Heck, it may be installed aready; I think it's in the default Ubuntu install. [02:21] firelovez, what are you looking for. [02:21] firelovez: the default ones are good. You may not need any more. [02:22] lots of toys :-) [02:22] rww.. that's for Hoover_4000 not me..

It mounts okay, but it will NOT let me switch ISO during installation when prompted for a second cd, like daemon tools does. So I figured I could kill the program and do it that way. No, that didn't work, I ended up being forced to kill the setup.exe which ended the whole installation. I then tried mkdir fakecd, th [02:22] pastebin url/ [02:22] sorry, Hoover_4000, see what I just wrote to scunizi (sorry scunizi!) [02:22] im on the cr of 8.10 [02:22] Winkie, /dev/sda /dev/sda1 /dev/sda2 /dev/sdb /dev/sdb1 /dev/sdb2 /dev/sdb5 [02:22] * rww has a headache [02:22] amt2: ah yes i see it now, i am apparently blind :) [02:22] firelovez: 8.10 support discussion in #ubuntu+1 please, not here [02:22] amt2: there's no obvious reason it shouldn't work, please try mounting it, and then running 'dmesg' and looking for errors at the end of that [02:23] pastebin url? [02:23] love u [02:23] in need of a good irc client unless this pidgin is the way now [02:23] i really have no idea where gnome would store the specific mount errors i'm afraid [02:23] firelovez: irssi ;) [02:23] firelovez: xchat [02:23] !irc | firelovez [02:23] firelovez: A list of official Ubuntu IRC channels, as well as IRC clients for Ubuntu, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetRelayChat - For a general list of !freenode channels, see http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#channellist - See also !Guidelines [02:23] firelovez, pidgin isn't a good irc client.. you have choices.. see above [02:23] thank you sooo much [02:23] firelovez: if you're a frequent Firefox user, you can install the ChatZilla plugin... works fine [02:24] firelovez, xchat for gui, weechat for console IMO [02:24] Has anyone here noticed ext3 corruption with the RC?

[02:26] Hello has any one here set up postfix on ubuntu server [02:26] ok, so I run sudo apt-get update and I get this: http://paste.ubuntu.com/64426/ [02:27] Winkie, to mount it I'm just clicking on it under 'Places'. Is that how I should be doing it? [02:27] amt2: i'm afraid i'm terrible at helping with ubuntu, as i understand it that should work, but I am a debian person so I mount everything manually :( [02:27] Winkie, yes, before i just did that and get the FIle Browser and was asble toe xplore the drive [02:27] !postfix | jordancason [02:27] jordancason: postfix is the default !MTA and !MDA on Ubuntu.

So I figured I could kill the program and do it that way. No, that didn't work, I ended up being forced to kill the setup.exe which ended the whole installation. I then tried mkdir fakecd, th [02:28] Winkie, could it be that maybe I should boot into Windows, then restart, then back to Ubuntu? Sometimes I've gotten errors in the past where if Windows doesn't shut down correclty, then it's not able to mount it [02:28] KillerOrca: you have to get the GPG public key first: http://www.webmin.com/deb.html [02:29] amt2: ah, is it an ntfs drive? [02:29] P-Hell: never had to before, don't see why now [02:29] Winkie, no idea but probably [02:29] My Ubuntu PC keeps asking me to restart? Why? [02:29] in that case yes, if you don't shut down properly in windows the drive will be marked as dirty [02:29] Fezzler: probably because you have installed an updated kernel [02:30] Winkie, ok... let me go to windows and try to do it... [02:30] I recently installed network printer (Cups) [02:30] KillerOrca: well try with the key, you've got nothing to lose :P [02:30] Winkie, Although... when that's the case, I think it displays a different message than just 'unable to mount drive' [02:30] Winkie: So do I do a full shitdown? [02:30] P-Hell: do I need to install anything to use his key? [02:30] Fezzler: a normal reboot is fine [02:30] Winkie: Shutdown [02:31] amt2: potentially, it's always worth trying it anyway [02:31] Winkie: That's what I'm saying. Even after restart, it comes back and says restart [02:31] KillerOrca: no [02:31] Fezzler: that's interesting, the reboot icon at the upper right or a specific message? [02:32] Winkie: Upper right blue arrows [02:32] Fezzler: that's an interesting problem, i assume you've applied all the latest updates? [02:32] KillerOrca: it's all supposed to be installed already [02:33] Winkie: yup [02:33] P-Hell: seems to have worked now, thanks, no idea why it decided to be all fickle [02:33] !paste [02:33] pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel.

[02:40] transfering files from a remote server and possibly having a few others with access to do the same [02:40] Hey there, does anyone know how to actually add the text "times" in OpenOffice Math, rather than it being converted to the cross product symbol [02:40] my girlfriend modifying some compiz settings, and when i m opening a new vindow, it's behind the actual vindow. === P is now known as Shawnc [02:40] clear? my eanglish is poor [02:41] mynous: sftp is much easier to set up. So if its a small group of people (instead of a public ftp or whatnot) then that's the easiest way. just install openssh-server, and you're done. (and make users for them) [02:41] mynous: Note, this allows people to log in to regular shells on their account in addition to transferring files, etc. [02:41] I have broadcom's wl driver installed for my wifi card but ifconfig and iwconfig show it as eth1. Is there anyway to make it show as a wifi network? I want to use airodump on it and airodump is complaining it cannot access the wireless card because its an ethernet adapter [02:41] Hey, does anyone know the package to fix this problem?: "error while loading shared libraries: libstdc++-libc6.2-2.so.3: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory" [02:42] FreshUbuntuNoob: format the cell, set as text i believe [02:42] can someone explain why i cannot logout gnome???

I am talking about the OpenOffice Formula [02:42] Flannel: Q re gparted [02:42] Flannel: i have openssh-server running and im able to connect/download/upload on port 22, however i seem to be getting some conflict between rtorrent uploading on the server when i download via sftp [02:42] FreshUbuntuNoob: oh sorry, wasn't paying attention :) [02:42] Winkie, ? Don't get you. I am talking about the OpenOffice Formula utility that allows you to insert equations [02:42] FreshUbuntuNoob: yes i wasn't paying attention, i'm not sure, let me check [02:42] Winkie: im trying to get VNC to work.

[02:43] mynous: That's odd. I can't see why that would happen, torrents usually use 6000+ level ports and stuff. [02:43] amt2: i assume you can resolve smb.seas.upenn.edu, and you may need to use -o username=yourusernameontheremoteserver [02:43] With Intrepid Will FGLRX 3d Work???? [02:43] Beta-guy: proprietary stuff will be a little bit of a headache [02:43] CanadianLinux: #ubuntu+1 for Intrepid support [02:43] CanadianLinux: 1) you should be asking stuff like this in #ubuntu+1, 2) don't repeat yourself that often, 3) yes, i'm running it right now on Intrepid [02:43] ty [02:43] Winkie, how can I check if I resolve smb.seas.upenn.edu? [02:44] Flannel: i dont know why either, but on a 10Mb connection even if i limiti the ftp tarnsfer to 300KB the uploads drop to almost a dead stop [02:44] I have broadcom's wl driver installed for my wifi card but ifconfig and iwconfig show it as eth1. Is there anyway to make it show as a wifi network? I want to use airodump on it and airodump is complaining it cannot access the wireless card because its an ethernet adapter [02:44] Flannel: You said to use gparted I needed to boot from LiveCD. You me a gparted LiveCD not Ubuntu right? [02:44] hi all i have a quick question, how is vmware for gaming? ie can i play red alert 3 on my xp guest? [02:44] amt2: ping smb.seas.upenn.edu? i think it uses dns lookup rather than netbios, can't be sure [02:44] Fezzler: Any CD that has gparted on it. Whether its the Gparted one, or the Ubuntu one.

Go ask #ubuntu-release-party [02:48] to shift my ubuntu to another partition, can I just copy the files and fudge menu.lst?

[02:50] Beta-guy, flash works in 64 bit [02:50] scunizi, the whole kaboodle [02:50] Beta-guy: should work out of the box with sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree (which has some extra dependencies in 64bit) [02:51] l43a24: I have installed the wl driver from broadcom and it shows my wifi card as eth1 instead of a wifi card... [02:51] Ohmu, I'd use partimage so you don't miss anything and then just put the image on the new partition.. after that you will probably have to reinstall grub [02:51] okay, so.. i installed 8.10 RC, and a windows XP [02:51] Beta-guy, and precompiled binaries should also work if you have ia32-libs installed [02:51] I want to use airodump to dump wifi packets but I cannot as it thinks I am trying to use an ethernet adapter...

[02:57] billybigrigger: right-click on a torrent file, select properties, and then select "Open With." choose the program that you want to use. [02:57] that should do it [02:57] is there a default key shortcut to open a terminal? [02:58] alt f2 [02:58] rjonesx, not by default [02:58] poop [02:59] hmm, so how can I troubleshoot a start up problem - are errors logged somewhere that after restarting in a manner that it would work I could see what went wrong the last reboot?

[05:12] error404notfound: all the packages :) [05:12] I am installing firestarter, anyone knows if I should click on "start the firewall on dial-out"???? [05:12] what time will 8.10 be released? [05:12] !isitout | arash [05:12] arash: Ask in #ubuntu-release-party - we don't know here [05:12] error404notfound: that is all the packages for a default install [05:12] Mixed432: firestarter why? [05:13] genii: about how long would such a try take for a 60gb drive and 60gb image copy? (hours days week years?) and would and sha or crc be faster and just as likly to match or not match? [05:13] thoreauputic: ahan, and normal i386 doesn't contain those? [05:13] sebseb, when should "start the firewall on dial-out" should be clicked then??? [05:13] !firewall | Mixed432 [05:13] Mixed432: Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'iptables' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo), or GUI applications such as Firestarter (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE). [05:13] Mixed432: by default Ubuntu comes with a firewall I think iptables yes [05:14] Mixed432: and so firestarter is not really needed by many people [05:14] error404notfound: the Live CD installer just dumps the file system to the hard drive, in simple terms [05:14] how long till 8.10? [05:14] Mixed432: also you should have some sort of hardware firewall if you have a router you probably have one as part of that [05:14] !isitout | bOrk3d [05:14] bOrk3d: Ask in #ubuntu-release-party - we don't know here [05:14] live_CD_user: Speed depends on too many variables to call. But less than a day.As for sha or crc, no idea offhand. [05:14] oh lol [05:14] ment too [05:14] hmm..i'm having problems installing the vmhgfs module (vmware shared folders) because it update gcc to 4.2.4 but says the kernel was compiled using gcc-4.2.3 [05:14] So I can't get the change password on mysql working?! Can anyone help? I keep getting a -bash error [05:14] error404notfound: it has a few packages on it, but not many [05:14] Holy netsplit Batman [05:15] thoreauputic: both cds contain the packages that come with the default install then what's the difference? [05:15] sebseb, I have a cable modem that connects to my linksys router but I would like to set up a firewall either way, how can I view the configuration of the firewall??? Since I supposedly don't need firestarter? === brent_ is now known as bdubnc [05:15] error404notfound: no, the live CD is a filesystem (squashfs) - the alternative CD has .deb packages [05:15] anyone know how I can rebuild my compiler using latest gcc? [05:16] Mixed432, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo [05:16] Stupid question everyone, does anyone know when 8.10 is going to be released today? Morning or afternoon? [05:16] thoreauputic: so what's the difference for a normal user? [05:16] error404notfound: the live CD has the complete image already compressed by squashfs, the alternative CD has actual deb packages [05:16] lbnDrupal, you should probably go to a developer chat room, this chat room is mainly for the OS itself [05:17] !isitout | bdubnc [05:17] bdubnc: Ask in #ubuntu-release-party - we don't know here [05:17] Serraphyn, thanks! so that's how a firewall is implemented in linux? with iptables??? [05:17] error404notfound: it's just a completely different way to install the system - in practical terms the result is the same [05:17] ubottu: sorry, thank! [05:17] Mixed432, yes [05:17] IbnDrupal: try #linux [05:17] Sorry, I don't know anything about sorry, thank! [05:18] Mixed432: yes that's a good idea learn about iptables [05:18] error404notfound: on low spec machines, the alternative CD is a better idea because it is less demanding on resources === homerj is now known as Chris_Hansen [05:18] heya all [05:18] 99% of all problems are solved in Ubuntu Forums and Community Help :) [05:18] heh === Chris_Hansen is now known as homerj [05:19] sebsebseb. that sounds very geeky but ill go read about it, thanks you and thank you Serraphyn [05:19] Serraphyn: and http://www.ubuntuguide.org :d [05:19] how do i set up a bridge with the ethernet card and a tap device in the bridge? [05:19] Anyone here that run Ubuntu on Vmware on windows Vista? How did you install it? Is there a good guide somewhere on how to run Ubuntu on Vmware? [05:19] can any on help me configuring Atheros wifi for ubuntu 8.04 [05:19] Anyone here that run Ubuntu on Vmware on windows Vista? How did you install it? Is there a good guide somewhere on how to run Ubuntu on Vmware? [05:19] Mixed432: by default all ports are blocked in Linux I think basically. unlike WIndows. I can't really explain this to you properly, but you can get by nicelly by just using your routers firewall [05:20] Mixed432: with Ubuntu [05:20] glapp: why vmware and not vobx? [05:20] !repeat | glapp [05:20] glapp: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://wiki.ubuntu.com while you wait. Also see !patience [05:20] vbox./ [05:20] Mixed432: in WIndows I would recommend a software firewall as well [05:20] Mixed432: but Linux basically already has that built in iptables [05:20] sebsebseb, i dont use windows [05:20] Hello, is there any program to create star-trek like beaming effects? [05:21] Mixed432: yes I was just using that as an example. and if you read what I just put :D [05:21] anyone have further thoughts on how I can overcome this problem discussed here on forums? [05:21] hello [05:21] http://ubuntu-virginia.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=903182 [05:21] CjMaster: movie effects? like 3D? [05:21] I can understand if glapp if you are utilizing Vmware, really the best thing to try Ubuntu and Vmware is to download a virtual appliance from vmware's site. [05:21] Cjmaster: thats audio production software, might search google for a linux package that will help do that [05:21] CjMaster: video, or still images? [05:21] ...audio? [05:21] videa [05:21] video [05:22] i want to know who recently bought a usb-wifi dongle that has a good driver support, i want a recent one.... [05:22] CjMaster | blender [05:22] Not 3d modles lol [05:22] 2d? [05:22] CjMaster, sorry thought you were asking for sound effects [05:22] 2d stuff? [05:22] CjMaster: lives? i know there are a few other editing projects. [05:22] 2d video? [05:22] no... like stuff you capture on a camera. [05:22] uh, yea I reckon so. [05:23] I don't think my camera captures 3d :P [05:23] akio: usb wifi dongle? why a dongle? [05:23] you want to play videos that have been recorded on your camera [05:23] ? [05:23] Hey all, just wondering, are we going to be seeing a new default theme in Ibex? I haven't noticed anything [05:23] how do set permissions for a shared mount? [05:23] No, I want to edit them to add a transporter beam effect. [05:23] ArtVandalae: nope it seems no major new theme for Ibex [05:23] ,but of course you can get your own theme [05:23] so i can just shove a power cord and the dongle into a machine and bam! ad-hoc networking! [05:23] common, don't tell me you've never watched star trek :P [05:23] WhiteDiesel, are you mounting a samba/cifs share? [05:24] ArtVandalae: cifs share [05:24] CjMaster: 2D editing yes? [05:24] CjMaster: and no I don't watch Star Trek [05:24] Well, yea i guess. [05:24] hmm [05:24] ok Synfig could be what your looking for [05:24] kc8pxy: why would you say something unhelpful like that without info? [05:24] CjMaster: http://jahshaka.org/ <-- something like that? [05:25] Well its where a character stands on a transporter pad and the character gets all glittery and disapears :P [05:25] hello world! [05:25] Synfig 2d video creation program [05:25] ho [05:25] hi [05:25] WhiteDiesel, there are options that you can append to the mount command. e.g. -o umask=777, or uid=ArtVandalae,gid=ArtGroup [05:25] how to change chanel [05:25] ? [05:25] When is 8.10 released? Tonight at midnight or 1 day from now? [05:25] wiatro, what IRC client are you using? Usually a /join #channel works just fine [05:25] !isitout | KoN3533 [05:25] KoN3533: Ask in #ubuntu-release-party - we don't know here [05:25] akio: because i was wondeing why someone would want a wifi dongle. i've come to hate dongles. [05:25] koN3533: oh lol at people like you. final whatever. just get it now [05:25] of any sort. [05:26] koN3533: you can upgrade Hardy right now to Intrepid Ibex stuff [05:26] thanx ArtVandalae [05:26] or just do sudo apt-get dist-upgrade in a few days [05:26] !isitout [05:26] kc8pxy: i had a zd1211 that i gave away, it worked beautifully [05:26] XChat for Gnome [05:26] Oh guys I g2g... -.- Thanks for help! [05:26] koN3533: but yes the ISO's for Intrepid Ibex should be available later [05:26] but its a fossil [05:26] sebsebseb, great thanks [05:26] hi what filesystem is the most compatible between a windows and ubuntu computer? I am going to format a usb drive, and want a filesystem that will work equally well on both, without the need for more setup [05:27] ArtVandalae: would the full command be -o unmask=777 [05:27] !isitout | akio [05:27] akio, please see my private message [05:27] FAJ. Fat32 [05:27] WhiteDiesel, yes, but not UNmask... Umask [05:27] you gave it away to yoru local freegeek, right??:) :) [05:27] Serraphyn: ok thank you. [05:27] FAJ: Windows can use the Linux Ext3 file system if you put a driver on for that. Ubuntu can read and write to Windows NTFS no problem. [05:27] sebsebseb: what would you suggest for the least amount of hassles? [05:27] FAJ: which version of Windows? [05:28] sebsebseb: feasible ext3 on windows, advisable?? not by me. [05:28] sebsebseb: xp and vista :( unfortunately [05:28] FAJ: for least amount of hassels, don't use a computer at all [05:28] FAJ: Depends on version of windows but all can read Fat32 without modifications to either OS [05:28] Serraphyn: ok so fat32 would be the 'best' [05:28] Mixed to actually answer your question- no you do not need to check that it [05:28] kc8pxy, yes, you can I've done it before, and I've transferred TBs of data, and it works just fine. [05:28] FAJ, IMO yes [05:28] ok [05:28] sebsebseb, how do I auto-update to Ibex from hardy? [05:28] kc8pxy: well in XP the driver for Ext3 works well the standard one http://www.fs-driver.org ,but in Vista SP1 I had problems, but I found something else that seems to be similar that I haven't tried yet [05:29] !update [05:29] For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes [05:29] dude [05:29] ArtVandalae: i've had troubles with bad shutdowns that borked my ext3 [05:29] no one here is from WI [05:29] eh? [05:29] ArtVandalae: bash: -o: command not found [05:29] kc8pxy, ah [05:29] I use firestarter just because it's cool to know where your hits are coming from [05:29] FAJ: what do you want to use Windows for and what do you want to use Ubuntu for? [05:29] WhiteDiesel, you need: mount //server/share /mnt/share -o ... [05:30] firestarter is a frontend for iptables, I think that's how Ill start :-) [05:30] WhiteDiesel, sorry didn't fully understand your last comment [05:30] sebsebseb: ubuntu is my main computer, but i have some security stuff on it that i share with windows users [05:30] >.< [05:30] Mixed432, don't start with the GUI [05:30] Mixed432, learn how the thing works first [05:30] any news what time 8.10 is coming out? [05:30] ArtVandalae: IMHO, windows drivers are just made with the "beat it agaist a steel door for an hour and it still works perfectly" mentality that most linux drivers are. [05:31] is there a difference between apt-p2p and debtorrent? [05:31] Chris_Were, read TOpic [05:31] s/just not/just/ [05:31] Serraphyn, iptables is too geeky, I'm looking at the commands and dont even know what they do, [05:31] !isitout | Chris_Were [05:31] Chris_Were: Ask in #ubuntu-release-party - we don't know here [05:31] sorry [05:32] FAJ: security stuff such as? [05:32] Mixed432, if that link is to much to understand, I'd suggest you back track and learn about firewalls before going much further [05:32] sebsebseb: well right now i am just having a hard time getting the usb to read....

[05:34] <[nix]-hack> i need someone running ubuntu to see if they can go to that link [05:35] [nix]-hack, have you tried from another machine or OS? [05:35] FAJ: whatever file system the USB stick is using by default should be fine [05:35] [nix]-hack: try classic.gclassic.shoutcast.com [05:35] [nix]-hack: Works here [05:35] [nix]-hack: the url you gave is an alias for classic.gclassic.shoutcast.com [05:36] <^Oink^> kc8pxy, so you want to set up an ethernet tap and sniff it in promiscuous mode?

[05:41] what i have to do for change ubuntu version?

[05:44] when 8.10 is released will it support the PS3? [05:44] I bought a USB microphone and it sucks cause I cant get it to work with Skype [05:44] <^Oink^> lildonkey, it will tell you how big it is before you begin and prompt you to continue. [05:45] <^Oink^> lildonkey, it varies from person to person [05:45] Beta-guy, read topic please [05:46] Jane_, saddly it helps to do some research on hardware before you purchase. I bought a lexmark printer bfore i realized it wouldn't work with linux [05:47] <^Oink^> Serraphyn, Why is that sad? You should always plan your hardware with regard to your software for any operating system [05:47] Serraphyn: his question is more specific - I think the answer is yes if the current release has a ps3 version [05:47] <^Oink^> and Lexmrk sucks don't buy their stuff they use proprietary drivers [05:47] Beta-guy: you might want to look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PlayStation_3 [05:47] <^Oink^> HP is usually pretty good about that though [05:47] Hi, I have a simple question but I can't figure it out properly..how do I disable this "launching (application name)" taskbar entry when I launch something?

I'm trying to use some of its plugins like the encyclopedia in my own bot. I tried setting the encyclopedia prefixChar to ! and the Encyclopedia prefixChar to @, the bot ignores what the ! means. I'm trying to make the bot commands use @ and factoids use !

[06:21] I added a user with useradd without "-m" how can I create his home directory now? not via mkdir.. some proper method [06:21] mkdir is the right method [06:21] you mkdir the directory, and then chown it to the user it should belong to [06:21] error404notfound: you can create it via mkdir, and add it to the entry in /etc/passwd [06:21] who wants to do their good deed for the day? beginner hoping to fight root for permission to move my 'wine' folder back where it belongs [06:21] my top and bottom panels are frozen up. i clicked the shutdown button and everything just kinda... broke. i'm running ubuntu 8.04 and this happens far too often nowadays. can anyone help me figure this out? === Beta-guy_ is now known as Beta-guy [06:22] annoyed: are you logged in as an administrator account? [06:22] hey folks, I'm working on someone's linux PC and i want to get it back to them tomorrow. They have dial up and so don't do their updates so they gave it to me. I hooked it up to my DSL and let it run over night. It errored out. Now there is now network connectivity and i really dont' feel like spending time fsking with it. My quesition is, if i insert kubuntu disc and do an "install" will that mess everything (format) or just do an update? [06:23] logged in with the only account [06:23] in update-manager i get a bunch of kde updates how make it not show up? [06:23] it should be admin [06:23] annoyed: are you moving through the file browser? [06:23] Bearcat: Youre trying to upgrade to a newer version? or what? [06:23] ya.. graphical [06:23] Bearcat: mess everyting [06:24] Flannel: yes, upgrade to a newer version. I have an alternate disc too, but that updates via a connection. [06:24] annoyed: that may be the issue, since the file browser may not have the same administrator level as you [06:24] you say you want to move it someplace....are you experienced with the terminal [06:24] Bearcat: What version is currently on it, and what are you trying to upgrade to? And yes, alternate CD is how you upgrade. [06:24] was tryn to put new dll files into 'wine'... when i moved 'wine' away from the /usr/lib folder [06:25] now it's stuck under root, and it wont let me move it back [06:25] thoreauputic: http://www.easyvmx.com/new-easyvmx.shtml , should i upload the iso there or i should never specify it ? [06:25] so you want to move it back to /usr/lib? [06:25] terminal.. i'm familiar with copy & paste magic [06:25] yep [06:25] Flannel: i'm not entirely sure what version it's on. (i'm not new to linux but i am to ubuntu) [06:25] good, copy and paste will do fine [06:25] Bearcat: lsb_release -a [06:25] open a new terminal session [06:25] glapp: no no - you use the wizard to create a hard drive image and config, then install your iso to that [06:26] Flannel: actually kubuntu in this case. Thanks for the help so far. [06:26] Need your advice is it better to wait till the dist upgrade is ready in the update manager or can I just run it instantly? [06:26] Bearcat: right, flavor doesn't matter, just version. [06:26] anyone know which catalyst is most recently reported stable for ati 4800 series? [06:26] annoyed: execute the following: sudo mv /path/to/wine/folder /usr/lib [06:26] Last I heard it was 8.6 [06:26] glapp: I suggest using the simplest wizard if you haven't done this before === Narfi is now known as Mergul [06:27] glapp: and just follow the instructions - it's very simple and it gives you a zip file to download etc. [06:27] * Bearcat boots up this pc again [06:28] :-[ anybody? heh [06:28] !patience | Roky [06:28] Roky: The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that.

You can upgrade that to Hardy no problem. And yeah, just pop in the alternate CD and then follow: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HardyUpgrades#Upgrading%20Using%20the%20Alternate%20CD/DVD [06:31] outbackwifi: hi what is better waiting till the 8.10 is ready in the update manager or can I just do a dist upgrade? [06:31] Flannel: does that require a net connection? [06:31] Bearcat: It'll claim it needs to download a lot, but it only actually has to download what isn't on the CD, so the bulk will be "downloaded" almost immediately from the CD [06:31] I'm trying to set up a dual monitor in 8.10 but have run in to some issues, anyone feel qualified to help me figure it out? [06:31] glapp: the guest os is defined by what you chose in easyvmx [06:31] paul68: i would wait for a month before considering changing [06:31] Flannel: ah, good [06:32] my top and bottom panels are frozen up. i clicked the shutdown button and everything just kinda... broke. i'm running ubuntu 8.04 and this happens far too often nowadays. can anyone help me figure this out?

[07:04] now i can play music from my windows machine on my ubuntu machine without having to use VNC. WOOHOO!!!!! [07:04] outbackwifi: i am a noob.. pls tell me step by step.. ty [07:04] why not just play music from ubuntu machine? [07:04] :) [07:04] pogztimz: ok type dmesg in terminal [07:04] WhiteDiesel: also pay attention that the name of the drives are not changing after a dist upgrade [07:04] lixujia, network-manager is afaik only a meta-package with a list of other packages which have to be installed ... [07:05] i feel like restarting and dancing a jig to the startup ubuntu music. [07:05] WhiteDiesel: then you need to adapt your smb conf again :-) [07:05] lixujia: try libnm-glib0 [07:05] WhiteDiesel: hehe:) [07:05] is it possible to get a precompiled kernel on 8.10 without xen? [07:05] outbackwifi: then? [07:06] paul68: what is smb config again?

[07:09] I have tried it yet, but gpg: Can't check signature: public key not found was given [07:09] outbackwifi: sori for the caps :P [07:10] pogztimz: use gpm. you have mouse functionality on CLI. [07:10] lixujia: to find a particular file use apt-file (you would need to install that and update it) or dlocate (same but faster and only for packages already on your system) [07:10] WhiteDiesel: I don't know what cifs is however when you create a windows share you need samba to make that happen, then you have to add your samba conf file in order to go to your shared drive on your network from windows [07:10] thoreauputic, Now I'm sure it in the package network-manager [07:11] outbackwifi: kk.. wait a sec. [07:11] I'll go and try first! [07:11] WhiteDiesel: with all the permissions set to allow users to access modify or just read write acces [07:11] lixujia: umm the gpg error is either because you haven't updated your sources or you are using a 3rd party repo etc. [07:11] Thank you! thoreauputic [07:11] Hello, I am trying to install Ubuntu 8.04 alternate from the hard disk because I have no removable media, I used grub4dos, It could start the setup, but the setup keeps asking me to insert the CDs and there is no option to select iso image.

This is off the alternate cd. Note the double / I think that may be a syntax error. [07:40] ? [07:40] jim_p, it isnt currently apparently [07:40] Ta1: Why are yo addressing a question directly? There are over 1000 other people here [07:40] i used fw cutter to extract the firmware and it built the driver for me but after one reboot it does not work anymore [07:40] but i need to figure out how to make it so [07:40] Ta1 is a bit bossy [07:40] i have only eve3r had to configure it once [07:40] so i dont remember how to do it [07:40] thoreauputic: Because u asked me not to be silly [07:40] Bearcat: possible.... doesn't sound like it will be easy, thats why i hate upgrades. [07:40] and all my google searches arent helping much [07:40] locke: can you sudo modprobe emu10k1 [07:40] ?

[07:42] IndyGunFreak: i updated the package list in adept. Then i hit full upgrade, then did the changes. When i got up in the morning i noted that it was stuck on something waiting for a responce on an incompatable update. So i hit next and it dumped me back to the adept main screen. I noticed that the button for dist upgrade was available so i hit that and it just dumped me out again. [07:42] how do i install the module :P [07:42] im lame [07:42] !isitout | ubuntakias [07:42] ubuntakias: Ask in #ubuntu-release-party - we don't know here [07:42] ubuntakias: unknown [07:42] o.O [07:42] IndyGunFreak: i'm not new to linux, but i'm not a kubuntu user [07:42] locke: try emu10k1-gp [07:43] Ta1: why dont you do a standard install with a Ubuntu CD? this way it will be easier on all of us [07:43] command not found [07:43] yes sir thank you sooooo much [07:44] echo "emu10k1" | sudo tee -a /etc/modules shows it [07:44] outbackwifi: I have no cd writer and I need a working openoffice and printer immediately otherwise I will fail in the exam === Guest29525 is now known as Slash_Network [07:44] outbackwifi: I have no removable media right now [07:44] Ta1: do you have a USB stick?

[07:45] locke: lol sudo modprobe emu10k1-gp thet command starting with echo just placed emu10k1 in your /etc/modules [07:45] IndyGunFreak: so..should i just wait till the new disc is released and try that alternate to see if that path bug (apparently only to me) is fixed [07:45] Ta1: if its only openoffice, just install openoffice for windows and be done with your exam [07:45] outbackwifi: Yes 7 years old :D, it's 256 mb ram and celeron 1.1 Ghz [07:46] locke: What does lspci -nn report for the vendor:device code of your soundcard?

[07:47] IndyGunFreak: what i'm dealing with now is a "no route to host" which i hate :") even trying to apply a route command gives me a 'no route to host' but i can do a ping local host just fine. [07:47] locke: I had module name incorrect. use name of: snd-emu10k1 instead of only emu10k1 [07:47] DAMN THAT SUX [07:47] thoreauputic: It's my first time here [07:47] Ta1: you can't use the machine you are already on?

[07:52] thoreauputic: They don't, they need papers only [07:52] i am using checkinstall to make a .deb package of fatrat (a download manager) from source. how can i state the dependencies and the conflicts the package has? [07:52] morning [07:52] jim_p, it sees the card, lspci shows it clearly [07:52] Ta1: can you access google-docs? its an online office suite. type your work there and print it out with your windows printer [07:52] outbackwifi: Does it support prinitng? [07:52] it was working great in 8.04 on the other box i was using prior to this, but i spilt ramen in it so i had to switch to this one [07:53] Ta1: docs.google.com yes i believe it does. Please try first before asking [07:53] then when i found out that i cant adjust the volume or anything on my onboard and it only uses left channel i decided to install the card and now i have no sound :( [07:53] locke: i know. and the module is loaded but it does not work. can you tell alsa somehow to use it? i cant without alsaconf [07:53] WOOT irssi all configured to connect, identify, and join channels :D [07:53] outbackwifi: Thank u man, may god bless u [07:53] jim_p, thats my problem i dont know how to do it otherwise :P [07:53] * outbackwifi heaves a big sigh of relief [07:53] Ta1: yw and atb [07:54] * thoreauputic joins in outbackwifi 's big sigh [07:54] guys this is annoying .. my USB HDD flips between reporting as sdc1 and sdb1. And I'm not even unplugging it! what on earth is going on? [07:54] thoreauputic: I am sorry for being annoying, I 'm just feeling it's very crowded here, it's my first time to use IRC [07:54] locke: is it inside /etc/modules? [07:54] Ta1: OK - understood :) [07:54] Ohmu: dmesg should give you more info [07:54] bye bye [07:54] Ta1: but do read the guidelines please :) [07:54] on the old box both onboard and this were working but i had to use alsaconf to make it use this card and i had it working fine, but in this one i cant get it to work at all, onboard works but it's worthless [07:55] how can i see whats in modules? [07:55] ls /etc/modules/ doesnt work [07:55] locke: how did you use alsaconf? it does not even exist in ubuntu! [07:55] jim_p, you could build alsa-utils to get alsaconf [07:55] jim_p, in previous versions i mean [07:55] like 5.10-6.04 [07:55] locke: cat /etc/alsaconf [07:55] after that i didnt have to use it [07:55] damn [07:56] locke: cat /etc/modules [07:56] now how about the intel 82855 gme it is also not being friendly(jim_p) [07:56] emu10k1 is in /etc/modules [07:56] jim_p, as for stating depends/conflicts for a new package, you have to state them in the debian/control file [07:56] arghhhh [07:56] locke: also add emu10k1-gp [07:56] i just wanna watch dominion tank police :( [07:56] but now i dont have any sound [07:56] k [07:57] jim_p, do i have to reboot or reload alsa or something after that? i added it [07:57] unop: and where is it on chackinstall?

[08:01] i cant upgrade to ubuntu 8.10 [08:01] MothOnLovesFlame, maybe its because its yet to be released? [08:01] its released in my timezone [08:01] it has been released [08:01] MothOnLovesFlame: maybe its because due to high load on the servers? [08:02] man.. this sucks i just wanna listen to some music :p [08:02] hello [08:02] Does anyone use nagios here [08:02] jim_p: no its an intigrated graphics adapter I'm accully in proccess of rewriting xorg.conf [08:02] can i upgrade by downloading the iso?

[08:04] I need help with Nagios 3.0.2 === aayoola is now known as murpheus [08:04] MothOnLovesFlame: you need the alternative iso and use it as a cdrom source in synaptic [08:04] ok [08:05] Hello! [08:05] cat /proc/asound/modules doesnt show the emu10k1 [08:05] hi [08:05] hello, since I recently upgraded to ubuntu 8.10, some Fn keys on my laptop (volume up/down/mute, 9 on the numpad emulation) don't work anymore. Is that a known problem ? [08:06] furanku: laptop model or brand? [08:06] Jiom_p: output = 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corperation 82852/855GM Integrated Graphics Device (rev 02) [08:06] how do i use it as a cdrom source in synaptic? [08:06] jim_p: ASUS F8Sn [08:06] instead of doing dpkg-reconfigure gnome-applets and choosing yes, any settings file that i can enable cpufreq scaling, there is gconf entry /apps/gnome-power-manager/ui/cpufreq_show if i enable it will it do the same thing with dpkg-reconfigure? [08:06] MothOnLovesFlame: :( i dont know! can i tell you the command line way? [08:06] yes [08:06] furanku: give me some time [08:07] jim_p: cool, thanks [08:07] "/server zeta30" [08:07] Is there a way to change the desktop background on each workspace? [08:07] MothOnLovesFlame: you place the cdrom in the drive and sudo apt-cdrom add [08:07] gaintsura: only if you use a compiz plugin i think. gnome cant do it by default [08:07] gaintsura: I think the "devilspie' package can do that [08:07] i have a virtual cdrom how do i add that? [08:07] meh i cant deal with this tonight i think im gonna go to bed [08:07] jim_p: which plugin? [08:08] i'l be back tomorrow to try to figure it out [08:08] night guys thanks for your help anyways [08:08] gaintsura: i dont know, i dont use compiz [08:08] locke: goodnight [08:08] I'm on 2.6.24-21-generic. why does it still exist in upgrades? [08:08] Kartagis: security update [08:08] MothOnLovesFlame: virtualcdrom as in? are you on virtualbox or a program like daemon tools?? [08:08] Kartagis: because there were new updates to it just a day or so ago [08:09] i have some programming homework to do too, gotta implement a reliable data transfer protocol using an unreliable one (udp) but i cant think that hard right now, i'm just gonna start in the morning [08:09] thank god i dont have to use windows at least [08:09] i can use eclipse for that [08:09] jim_p gmount-iso [08:09] locke: uhgly is windows =P [08:09] it hast to be in java cause the framework is java, but at least i can use a real ide that works [08:10] i tried netbeans when i was at school trying to do my homework but i hated it [08:10] how do i boot 2 linux from 2 harddrive ? [08:10] textpad is the best i used in windows and it provides no sort of help [08:10] ubuntuPAGeekz: is "intel" as a driver correct for xorg? [08:10] eclipse automatically resolves all classes and gives me autocompletion for all relevant functions and arguments [08:10] makes it so much easier [08:10] locke: there's also eclipse for windows, you know? ;) [08:10] I have a simple question, i removed the bottom panel(on the desktop) and put everything in the toppanel. but how do I add so every time i start an app an icon shows on the panel for the app? [08:11] windows is a joke of a development environment from what i've seen [08:11] tliff, yeah but it's not available at school [08:11] locke: that's true [08:11] MothOnLovesFlame: well you mount it on gmount-iso like a normal iso and then sudo apt-cdrom add [08:11] ttf-wqy-zenhei,that is a chinese font, has the fear of the copyright infringement. [08:11] on my machine i can use whatever i want and using eclipse in linux i KNOW that it'll work in whatever my professor uses [08:11] anyone know howi can have a small calender and syspen window on my desktop [08:11] luckily, my professor uses textpad running in winxp in vmware running on top of ubuntu lol [08:11] or suse [08:12] he uses suse and ubuntu and just runs windows in a VM because most students run windows [08:12] furanku: does it appear in lspci or lsusb? [08:12] he actually hates windows and runs every windows app inside of linux [08:12] i have a real good academic relationship with my professor [08:12] jim_p: X would not let me reconfigure. the system has the driver but the resolution wil not go past 600x800 I've been working on this damned thing since sunday non-stop. kinda pisses me off all my other systems are flawless under ubuntu [08:13] jim_p: do you mean the keyboard device ? [08:13] saftarn: right click on panel then add to panel the window list app [08:13] when i decided to get back into college this semester and i went to talk to him about the classes i was thinking about taking we ended up talking for like 3 hours about all sorts of stuff, much of it involving linux and the fact that the university uses microsoft for almost all of its servers and critical systgems [08:14] he thinks they're retarded, as do i [08:14] ubuntuPAGeekz: forget dpkg-reconfigure .... it is useless with the stupidity of the xorg devs. can you exit to command line and try X -configure ? i will tell you the rest if it works [08:14] and he refuses to run any microsoft product natively on any of his machines, as do i [08:14] how can i install "poker.bin" file? [08:14] furanku: yes [08:14] and he runs all of his lectures using either powerpoint running in VM under linux or just straight in OO.o under linux [08:15] how to i boot 2 linux from 2 harddrive ? [08:15] jim_p: can I Alt-F2 or do I need a hard bash screen [08:15] jim_p:sorry ctrl-alt-f2 [08:15] most of the students have no idea and they all run windows, and he is far more open about his opinions and feelings on the matter with me because he knows how i feel about it [08:15] ubuntuPAGeekz: you need to stop X from running [08:15] anyone know how i can add calender window and a terminal window onto my desktop ? [08:15] benny: you cant do it at the same time :) [08:15] ubuntuPAGeekz: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop [08:16] jim_p: nothing keyboard related in lspci, and nothing at all in lsusb [08:16] so in a lot of lectures he'll be talking about something and if it involves linux at all or anything advanced in general he always picks me out to give my opinions or answers on it to the rest of the class [08:16] furanku: somewhere i can see the specifications of it then? [08:16] I deleted the bttom panel and added that stuff to the top panel instead. But how do I make it so when I start an app an icon appears on the panel? There isn't a clear option to do this. [08:16] so i end up talking like 15 mins out of every 1hr 15min lecture that i go to :P [08:16] outbackwifi:no i try repair like 3 time still didnt work [08:16] saftarn: you need to add the window list to the panel [08:16] locke: I think #ubuntu-offtopic is ---> that way :) [08:16] how can i install "poker.bin" file? ?? [08:16] jim_p: I'm searching on the web [08:16] yeah yeah i'm going to bed [08:16] saftarn: you mean you want it to show the open windows? [08:17] saftarn: if you right click on the panel and select add to panel, then select the windows list app [08:17] outbackwifi, thanks [08:17] done [08:17] saftarn: yw [08:17] ubuntakias: what does the file do? Is it a program? [08:17] is a game.. [08:17] jim_p: its just sitting there staring at me [08:17] but is .bin and it doesnt do anything... [08:17] Why 8.10 is still not out :( [08:18] well crap i guess i gotta stay up for another half hour or so.. my best friend got in a fight with his roommate so he's coming to stay with me.. suck.. i'm gonna take off night guys [08:18] What is the name of that ubuntu party channel???

[09:24] sure [09:24] :jim_p how do i do that can u walk me through it please [09:24] Neaai: it is just a starting point, but hopefully you can track from it [09:24] MeanMachine: by default it will use the user name you are logged in with though. use "ssh user@ip.address.here" to override it [09:24] Buntu765: what its the cameras module?? lsusb === lipsin_ is now known as lipsin === ziroday` is now known as ziroday [09:25] im a newbie where do i find that out? [09:25] is there any LAN chat application [09:25] if my user is the only user on my server that can log in, is it still a bad idea to give full permissions to everyone on my /www folder (777 basically)? [09:25] DJ_: irc? ;) [09:26] mordof: yes, imho and why would you want to? [09:26] nmh_j2graw: because i'm struggling trying to get permissions set up right. i'm not that good with this [09:26] :jim_p where do i look for that? [09:26] <_coredump_> moinsen [09:27] Buntu765: pastebin me your lsusb [09:27] @ nmh_j2graw: google IPMsg [09:27] mordof: what are you tyring to do (duh, setup a website/webserver), but really, are you using static html? how are you editing? [09:27] :jim_p where do i find lsub and ill do it [09:27] elvis123: curious, what fs type are you using for /boot? [09:28] qp: ? [09:28] Buntu765: open up a terminal and type lsusb [09:28] ext3 [09:28] @DJ_ google IPMsg [09:28] @nmh_j2graw %_%. [09:28] nmh_j2graw: i was using ssh + WinSCP (my main comp is XP).. so i made /www chown server:www-data (server is the server username >.> lol) every time i create a new file, i have to ssh in and chown/chmod the folder again or apache can't read it [09:28] i cant connect on port 22...how i change to another port ?or is default 22? [09:28] qp: haha [09:28] Do you guys find that Kubuntu isn't as stable as Ubuntu? [09:29] MeanMachine: 22 is the default [09:29] xHemlock, I find that KDE isn't stable as Gnome [09:29] i cant changeee it? [09:29] nmh_j2graw: it's a pain, i don't know how to set it up so that it'd just work without me doing that.. and now, i'm using svn+ssh, and i want to make svn update my website with the latest revision.. that's gonna make things even more complicated [09:29] MeanMachine: do you know your server is listening on a diff port?

(sounds like you could fix it via umask, or world readable) [09:29] yep [09:29] MeanMachine: sure, add -p [09:29] I don't agree that KDE isn [09:29] DJ_: yes, you are using it, congratulations === ubuntu_ is now known as missile07 [09:30] mordof: svn sounds hard, lets go shopping [09:30] sorry [09:30] how can i use it to chat with windows user over local LAN [09:30] DJ_: you mean like winpopup.exe? [09:30] I don't agree that KDE isn't stable. KDE is stable in OpenSUSE [09:30] nmh_j2graw: rwxrws permissions [09:30] nmh_j2graw: shopping? [09:30] nmh_j2graw: rwxrws server:server WinSCP uploads them as [09:30] DJ_: apt-cache show linpopup [09:31] mordof: do you want the server to check out the files for your site? [09:31] nmh_j2graw: not sure what you mean [09:32] mordof: (shopping was a joke) apache won't serve stuff that is not world readable (anyone can read), iirc. [09:32] DJ_: although, you can just send messages using smbclient -M, iirc [09:32] nmh_j2graw: apache will serve stuff that the apache user has read permissions to [09:32] there should be a memory wipe option on the boot menu, or at least the memory test program [09:32] nmh_j2graw: it can be only r under www-data:www-data and apache could serve it [09:32] scientus there are things like that on bootable cds [09:32] can I get some help? I can't seem to get my DVD rom to show up [09:32] mordof: http://www.tech-faq.com/umask.shtml [09:32] :jim_p did u get that [09:32] scientus memory test that is, memory is wiped with every poweroff [09:32] anyone with a tip om a good web tool to create xhtml/php? [09:32] troubled:suposse at ip 192,.168.0.3 i want to send a message.how can i do that [09:32] kinnaz: most grub installs let you add a memtest86 option [09:33] troubled by hand then, havent seen option of that kind with any setup [09:33] kinnaz, does it actually write zeros to the memory? [09:33] nmh_j2graw: i've been told about this before from what i remember, but i didn't manage to get it working right [09:33] The countdown on the Ubuntu homepage is broken - seems someone forgot to add an image for "0 days to go" [09:33] Anyone know of an app that can read WMA tags? I found that extract and mplayer didn't get all fields (while amarok sees them) [09:33] Buntu765: yes [09:33] scientus no power means nothing in memory doesnt it ? [09:33] DJ_: been a while since I tried it, but I think the syntax is like: smbclient -M "Message" [09:34] :jim_p so what is the next step? [09:34] nmh_j2graw: I checked that page of the external monitor acrtivation. It seems the "xrandr" supports Intel and Radeon cards/drivers but I have Nvidia and it won't do anything for me. [09:34] Buntu765: searching for the module [09:34] kinnaz http://citp.princeton.edu/memory/ [09:34] :jim_p thank you [09:34] nmh_j2graw: i changed the mask.. it didn't do anything. i believe WinSCP applies it's own permissions when it uploads it (through ssh.. since it connects with my user) i don't think it's the same as making a new file regularly on that computer [09:34] :jim_p do i need too search for it? [09:34] scientus other option would be to make some filesystem to memory and then filling it with dev null or smt [09:34] no? [09:34] mordof: I would suggest checking - ssh to the server, make a file, set various combinations of permissions and see how it owrks. [09:35] mordof: that is possible - have you checked the docs for winscp on setting created file permissions? [09:35] DJ_: try: smbclient -M \\\\ [09:35] DJ_: it should try connect and give you a prompt to enter a message if it works I think [09:36] nmh_j2graw: well, i was updated it on my own at that point.. i won't need WinSCP at all if i can get svn to automatically update my /www folder to the latest revision [09:36] scientus Abstract Contrary to popular assumption, DRAMs used in most modern computers retain their contents for seconds to minutes after power is lost [09:36] troubled, linux is a better smbserver :) [09:36] hi i have a problem in one of the tutorials for making lirc working, there is a line "sudo apt-get source kernel-source-2.6.10" my kernek version in 2.6.27 when i try to do this command, it tells me uablo to find source.... can you help? [09:36] nmh_j2graw: so that's not something i want to dive into atm [09:36] scientus: no arguments there :) [09:36] scientus so in theory if you have more minutes time, you still get empty memory [09:36] Neaai: google(xrandr nvidia) [09:36] Buntu765: if you blacklist the modul;e you wont be able to use the camera though [09:36] how can i bring Ubutnu works at Active Directory? [09:36] i dont use popup msgs though here [09:36] mordof: understandable, and versioning can be quite handy [09:36] DJ_: also, by default, windows firewalls those popups, so you would need to unblock them [09:36] kinnaz, they showed that certain memory could last an hour [09:36] nmh_j2graw: my main concern is getting my user (server) svn user, and www-data user all playing nicely with read/write permissions on the /www folder.. [09:37] nmh_j2graw: yes, am doing just that [09:37] :jim_p it worked fine with 8.04 but with 8.10 it just stays on? [09:37] troubled:ok [09:37] I can't get my computer to recognize my cdrom [09:37] scientus thou still im a bit confuzed, why would you need to empty memory ? [09:37] kinnaz, just saying it would be easy and super (microsecond) quick to clear it on shutdown [09:37] Buntu765: did you upgrade to 8.10? [09:37] I'm on a Dell Latitude C640, and it apparently has some ATI 32MB video card, but supposedly you need some kind of special drivers or something to use it... anyone know about this that can point me in the righ direction? [09:37] jim_p yes [09:37] DJ_: the syntax should be okay though, i got an could not connect error which is correct for my setup [09:37] can i update from 8.04.1 to 8.10 rc [09:37] thank you for help me [09:37] Neaai: I would offer more info, but that is about all I konw (haven't used it yet) [09:37] idiots [09:37] scientus security reasons ? or smt else ? [09:38] Buntu765: then i cant help you. i am not that much in 8.10 yet, sorry [09:38] mordof: ooc, how are you planning on getting updates out of your repository for the webserver? [09:38] question ubuntu 8.10 supposed to d=be released today 30 0ct i go to download but it's still downloading 8.4 why.I live in the uj [09:38] hey people [09:38] Anyone here know anything about ATI video cards, or drivers for advanced video cards in 8.04? [09:38] scientus because in reality, if someone has pyhsical access to your computer, you are fcked anyways [09:39] nmh_j2graw: out of my repository? svn gives the option to run scripts post-commit.. i was given a link in #svn for that to set it up [09:39] ce_unesa [09:39] can you help me with this issue , i have a picture in this thread http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=962936 [09:39] yeah kinnaz maybe it should be used on encrypted partition computers only [09:39] nmh_j2graw: then i believe i just need to set apache to ignore .svn folders completely, since it would put one in there (i think) [09:39] but then it would be useful [09:40] No matter how dark the night, somehow the Sun rises once again [09:40] mordof: ahh, interesting. for ignoring the .svn - maybe ask in #apache, but I would expect it to be similar to the syntax for not serving .htaccess files [09:40] could be added to halt/reboot [09:40] scientus yeah maybe then [09:40] scientus thou i personaly wouldnot use crypted partition, because when smt happens, i have far more bigger chance of getting my data out there without cryption [09:41] nmh_j2graw: yeah. i've already got that, was with the link for the svn setup stuff. anyhow, if i'm making a post-commit script, that script needs access to the folder, as well as svn having access to the script >.> i'm struggling getting 2 users to work ok on my /www folder without constantly updating file permissions, lol [09:41] can you help me with this issue , i have a picture in this thread http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=962936 ? [09:41] btw: what is the most recommended ftp server to install if i want to define a folders to users ? i see some of the clients are limits the ftp access dirs to the /home/user/ directory.. i need to define my user/pass and folder premission [09:41] yeah i use truecrypt [09:41] nmh_j2graw: now it's like.. 4 users, or something, that need proper access [09:41] nmh_j2graw: not sure if that's even possible [09:41] nachi_: they are all like that, most use the home dir as the start folder by default [09:41] mordof: add them all to www-data [09:42] and truecrypt likes to create bsods on shutdown cause it clears memory and windows sucks with it [09:42] do wine open winscp ? [09:42] Buntu765: have a look here [09:42] where is it ... [09:42] :) [09:42] MeanMachine: i believe there is a unix equiv [09:42] MeanMachine why you need winscp with wine ? [09:42] ce_kuliah [09:42] ah never mind [09:43] scientus truecrypt is hardware based ? [09:43] coz i need to connect to my shell box and ssh ( i cant makeit work)( or i am to stupid or i dont get it well) :) [09:43] MeanMachine: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=47350 [09:44] MeanMachine: you can ssh from terminal [09:44] no, it just wants to unload itsself and its memory lastly but that brings down the windows kernel when the drive unmounts on its full drive encrption product [09:44] How do I determine what video card I have in the terminal?

[09:50] kinnaz, bios recognizes it [09:50] mistform: dont tell me you plugged it in while the pc was on!!! [09:50] jim_p, no, I'm not an idiot. [09:50] MeanMachine: ssh -p 12345 -u username 12.34.56.78? [09:51] mistform: lol ok. because i have heard such stories. does it mount stuff when you put a data cd in?

[09:51] let me try :0 [09:51] I just found out I don't have an xorg.conf file... is that a problem? [09:51] rdx: when it gets released [09:51] mistform: check you /etc/fstab for its /dev name and attempt to mannualy mount it [09:52] !isitout | rdx [09:52] rdx: Ask in #ubuntu-release-party - we don't know here [09:52] troubled: have to do it again on another machine but thanks for all your effort. appreciated!

I didn't know my display could be run without xorg.conf... anyways, I'm trying to install the ati drivers, and it instructs me to edit xorg.conf... what should I do? [09:53] ActionParsnip, I had this drive in the computer (its what i used to install ubuntu) for a long time. Yesterday I unplugged it to narrow out some hardware problems. today it won't work when I reattatched the drive [09:53] kajo, yeah :) If your X server is running then I guess it's not a problem. Is there an xorg.conf.d directory or soemthing similar? [09:53] so i dont have a visile nm-applet(it is running). when running it in terminal it says no defined connections, why could that be? [09:53] mistform: check fstab and check its seated and the PATA cable + molex are attatched properly [09:53] jim_p, no, it does not automount any media [09:54] @mistform you see your cdrom in bios? [09:54] mistform: make sure you arent using cable select too, make it a master o slave [09:54] ActionParsnip, the drive spins up just perfect [09:54] kajo, in any case, it shouldn't harm to create a new xorg.conf [09:54] ActionParsnip, #/dev/hdc /media/cdrom0 udf,iso9660 user,noauto 0 0 [09:54] mistform: forget automount, you can mount it manually. the thing is, is the cdrom read when its inside [09:54] trobled thx :) ssh -p 12345 username@host.ip this worked [09:54] ? [09:54] Jonny, there is no folder at /etx/x11- i.e., x11 is a nonexistent folder. [09:54] X11 [09:54] mistform: then put a cd in and manually mount it, see if its ok [09:54] the other told me no --u something [09:54] Capital X :) [09:54] haha, thanks... [09:55] kajo: linux is CasE sENSiTiVe [09:55] jim_p, how do I know? I put in a blank CD, it spins up, nothing happens. I put in my Ubuntu LiveCD and it spins up, nothing happens. nothing listed in COmputer, and nothing on the desktop === Johnm_ is now known as johnm [09:55] how many extended partitions can one drive have? [09:55] mistform: put a cd in, once its span up, mount it [09:55] mistform: is it the only drive there? [09:55] dman777: 1 [09:55] ActionParsnip, thanx [09:56] dman777: you can have a tonne of logical partitions in the extended partition [09:56] ActionParsnip, where would it be so I can mount it in /dev/cdrom [09:56] ActionParsnip, don't they start at partition #5? [09:56] Jonny, ActionParsnip, I only see "configured video device"... I vaguely remember hearing people complain about this when hardy was released... how can I edit the settings for the video card? Is it ok to edit that out of xorg and put manual parameters there? [09:56] mistform: and please paste your fstab somewhere [09:56] mistform: you can mount it anywhere you want, i believe there is already a /dev/cdrom0 folder [09:56] anynone here LPI certified? [09:56] mistform: mount it there [09:57] can i change my mouse point ? how ? [09:57] dman777: i was working on it once buy gave it up due to neglect [09:57] mistform: sudo mount -t auto /dev/cdrom0 /media/cdrom [09:57] help [09:57] kajo, yeah if you comment it out that's fine - you can always uncomment if X breaks :) [09:57] sorry [09:57] !ask | danwie [09:57] danwie: Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-) [09:57] ActionParsnip: /dev/cdrom is not a file or a folder, its a device like everything else inside /dev [09:57] ActionParsnip, i found some test questions link given from the LPI site. they are so hard it is unreal. [09:57] how long have ubuntu.com been down ? [09:58] jim_p: i know...whats your point? [09:58] ActionParsnip, jim_p, http://paste.ubuntu.com/64526/ [09:58] dman777: just think it very logically [09:58] will "[comment][/comment]" work here? [09:58] jim_p, mount: special device /dev/cdrom0 does not exist [09:58] @ Jonny [09:58] MeanMachine: gratz [09:58] ActionParsnip: because you said "i believe there is already a /dev/cdrom0 folder: [09:58] ActionParsnip, haha...ya. i guess you can say that. most of the test questions aren't normal ones. they're trick questions. [09:59] mistform: sudo mount -t auto /dev/cdrom /media/cdrom [09:59] MeanMachine: i think it expected -p to be before the user@ip before [09:59] mistform: you have commented out /dev/hdc [09:59] mistform: which means it wont automount [09:59] how does one comment out? [09:59] ActionParsnip, so how do I reload fstab? [09:59] mistform: change #/dev/hdc to /dev/hdc [09:59] kajo: you add a # to the start of the line [09:59] ActionParsnip: nice find :P [09:59] jim_p: shazam! [10:00] mistform: gksudo gedit /etc/fstab [10:00] ActionParsnip, thanks again.

[10:00] mistform: /dev/hdc [10:00] I cannot find a /dev/hdc [10:01] mistform: meaning its the secondary master in bios [10:01] mistform: /dev/hdc is not a folder or a file! [10:01] jim_p: technically it is a file [10:01] how can i check any computer who using my wifi ? [10:01] jim_p: everything in linux is a file [10:01] Strictly speaking...it's a file :) [10:02] ActionParsnip: yea, but is should not be "treated" as a file [10:02] bingungaja: jump into your access point and check the dhcp clients list [10:02] hello guys, how should I mount a partition with fstab to make me the owner of the partition and not root? Is this even possible ? [10:02] how do I set a dir so i can write to it from eevrywhere? [10:02] alexmart: yes its possible to alter owner/group on fstab [10:02] ActionParsnip : can u please show me the command line please ?

Based on the new X file I was able to rewrite it and make it work [10:03] mistform: sudo mount -t auto /dev/hdc /media/cdrom [10:03] so i dont have a visile nm-applet(it is running). when running it in terminal it says no defined connections, why could that be? [10:03] mistform: uncomment the /dev/hdc line in your fstab and reboot [10:03] troubled: how do I go about doing that ? I've been reading about umask and I don't think that is it. [10:03] ubuntuPAGeekz: you are welcome [10:03] ActionParsnip : Oh ic, so i should login to my router, and check for the dhcp list [10:03] thx [10:03] ActionParsnip, I DID!!! How do I reload FSTAB???

[10:04] mistform: its a good test [10:04] alexmart: first, you need option "user" or "users" to allow users to mount it if noauto [10:04] hi! [10:04] I'm Khaled Mardam Bey. [10:04] * ActionParsnip would like to point out - This is why automount sucks [10:05] alexmart: what fs type? ext3? [10:05] g'mornin all [10:05] seeking an oracle!!! [10:05] :D [10:05] !ask | fincan [10:05] fincan: 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. :-) [10:06] alexmart: do you just want users to be able to mount the fs on their own? [10:06] troubled: users cant mount [10:06] alexmart: im assuming you are using noauto [10:06] ActionParsnip: yes they can [10:06] if you set it to in fstab [10:06] ActionParsnip: first day in linux? ;) [10:06] troubled: oic, my bad [10:06] troubled: what do you want them to mount [10:06] ? [10:07] troubled: try a few years [10:07] troubled I want the drive to be mounted at startup but I want every user to have read/write permissions, just me [10:07] jim_p: not me, alexmart [10:07] troubled: always learning too [10:07] alexmart: just give users mount abaility (or use auto mount), then when its mounted, chmod/chown it [10:07] sorry, I don't want every user to have read/write perms, just me [10:07] alexmart: install pmount and eidt /etc/pmount.allow to allow users to mount etc [10:07] alexmart: in linux (well, depending on fs type), owner and perms stick between mounts [10:07] alexmart: ^^edit^^ [10:07] so I just edited my xorg.conf according to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RadeonDriver --- all I needed to do to change the driver was edit this file, right? [10:08] alexmart: so if you chmod it 777 and umount it, it will be 777 again when you mount it again [10:08] Hello. How do I stop ubuntu from loading the snd-via8xx ? (I want to load the snd-hda-intel instead) [10:08] .15 [10:08] troubled: try sudo mount -t /dev/ /mount/point -o iocharset=utf8,umask=000 [10:08] how do i change the drive letter of my cdrom0 ? [10:08] agoodNando: blacklist that module [10:08] alexmart: you can use the above some [10:09] alexmart: if you want users to be able to mount, just add the "users" option and anyone can mount/umount it on demand [10:09] piasdom: it doesnt have one [10:09] HELLO WTF THES EPERMISSIONS DRIVE ME FUCKING CRAZY [10:09] I CANT SAVE A FUCKING FILE [10:09] !caps | saftarn [10:09] saftarn: PLEASE DON'T SHOUT!

But I cant get it to work [10:16] hi!

[10:17] torubled, ok I get it [10:17] alexmart: ext2/3 store the perms in the file system directly, and return on remount [10:17] well, amongst other fs's [10:17] ActionParsnip, I have ext3, swap, and extended [10:17] brenlae: no; if thats the eeepc you're looking to support; use the kernel at array.org [10:17] but I only deal with ext2/3 [10:18] mistform: hmm === Sam2342342 is now known as Samwut [10:18] alexmart: man mount, will have what options apply globally and what are specific to each fs type [10:18] Formerly kajo: I just tried running my customized xorg.conf that was set up to use the ati Radeon 7500 drivers according to the ubuntu website's guide... when I tried to restart x (ctr+alt+bkspc), I got some flashes, and then the console, telling me there was a fatal error in that there were no screens found... any ideas? === Samwut is now known as Sjaki [10:18] mistform: try changing the jumper on the cd drive from master to slave [10:18] troubled: so this line should do ? /dev/sda6 /mnt/work ext3 0 0 ? [10:18] ActionParsnip, I went into BIOS and it recognizes it aswell [10:18] Guest75084: it must have also listed that error; what is it [10:18] * brenlae sighs [10:18] back to windows :S [10:18] alexmart: now, if you umount that partition and ls -l, you should see its owned root.root again until you remount it, then it should return to alex.alex [10:19] "(EE) no screens found", or something, is what was in the log. [10:19] alexmart: do you want security features? performance features? both? [10:19] Guest75084: can you pastebin your xorg.conf ? [10:19] Guest75084: switch to Driver "vesa" to get a desktop, then read logs and such [10:19] troubled, both :D [10:19] alexmart: something like this should be safe: /dev/??? /path/to/mount ext3 rw,noatime 0 0 [10:19] ActionParsnip, how could it have changed? I never changed the jumper or IDE cable since I unplugged it YESTERDAY. [10:20] mistform: no idea, maybe some other change has made it different [10:20] mistform: all i can do is suggest [10:20] alexmart: but you can also use "nodev,noexec" to disable running binaries from it, and disallow use of /dev files as well [10:20] mistform: its worth a try though [10:20] do you speak french ???

[10:22] Thanks for your help guys [10:22] I will look at those links [10:22] outbackwifi, yes [10:23] Guest75084: did you add those lines with the # in front of them?

For an explanation, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magic_SysRq_key [10:38] Package icedtea-plugin does not exist in hardy [10:38] MeanMachine: try what ubottu said ^^^ [10:38] i will :) [10:38] MeanMachine: long story short, sysrq R should reboot [10:39] Tesssa: if hardy works for youid sit with it [10:39] MeanMachine: but you should sync (S) and umount fs (U) iirc first [10:39] Tesssa: or on it [10:39] MeanMachine: although, with ext3, you probably dont have to worry too much === danielb is now known as Guest22143 [10:40] MeanMachine: but if numlocks etc dont respond, it doesnt sound too promising === Guest22143 is now known as dborg [10:40] thinking about trying xubuntu any info about it [10:40] ActionParsnip: it gives me a java plugin, but one that doesn't work for me. I find the sun java plugin to be more compatible with the applets I use [10:40] can you encrypt your whole partition in ubuntu 8.10? [10:40] dooglus: you could install it through nspluginwrapper maybe [10:40] !isitout | digin4 [10:40] digin4: Ask in #ubuntu-release-party - we don't know here [10:40] any ideea what is the problem? hardware problem i guess [10:41] nice === RobotCow_ is now known as RobotCow [10:41] MeanMachine: id check ram is healthy and linux partitions are healthy too [10:41] MeanMachine: usually, but more likely caused by a driver instead of faulty hardware [10:41] ActionParsnip: the icedtea plugin says "Start: applet not initialized" in the firefox status area [10:41] MeanMachine: usually really new stuff has problems to be worked out :) [10:42] dooglus: you need a bit more than just that package [10:42] MeanMachine: never have to deal with it much myself though since I only use linux on old boxen === go_beep_yourself is now known as Guest59911 [10:42] by the time my machines get linux, the drivers are rock solid [10:42] troubled: just shop smart and you can have a new system with rock solid drivers [10:42] MeanMachine: while you wait... :) anything in particular causes it? [10:43] ActionParsnip: shope smart, shop S-Mart! [10:43] any .iso around ? [10:43] well ..sometimes firefox (surfing the net) or some Linux included games [10:43] troubled: groovy [10:43] MeanMachine: also, do you try anything repeatable to make it lock up? any particular amount of time? etc [10:43] I get this "Warning: file:///cdrom/pool/main/p/pam/libpam-rubtine_0.99.7.1-5ubunut1_all.deb was corupt" when trying to install XUbuntu, do I need to connect to the internet during setup? [10:43] * ActionParsnip grabs his boomstick [10:44] heh [10:44] Robdid you md5 check your cd? [10:44] sudo apt-get install imagemagick [10:44] [sudo] password for bob: [10:44] Sorry, user bob is not allowed to execute '/usr/bin/apt-get install imagemagick' as root on machine1. [10:44] how do i overcome the above limitation? [10:44] ActionParsnip: Now do I do that :S [10:44] md5 | Rob [10:44] rexwin: run! hehe, as run try visudo === RobotCow is now known as go_beep_yourself [10:44] !md5 | rob [10:44] rob: To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/VerifyIsoHowto or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows [10:44] thanks :) [10:45] !sysrq [10:45] In an emergency, you may be able to shutdown cleanly and reboot by holding down Alt+PrintScreen and typing, in succession, R, E, I, S, U and B. For an explanation, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magic_SysRq_key [10:45] Rob: please tell me you checked your install iso? [10:45] do u think is radeon vcard Ati driver? [10:45] rexwin: username ALL=(ALL) ALL, should allow everything [10:45] MeanMachine: possibly. although my radeon worked fine before (9800 pro) [10:46] rexwin: your user 'bob' is not a member of the admin group [10:46] Hi... does anyone know how to run 1024x768 applications on a 1024x600 display? [10:46] !adduser | rexwin [10:46] rexwin: 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 [10:46] ActionParsnip: I didn't know I needed to, I just burn the ISO to a CD and booted on my old computer === Johannes_ is now known as MrChutney [10:47] Rob: tcp is very good at file consistancy but you REALLY should check its interity to ensure you have downloaded a 100% accurate disk [10:47] chazco: depends on the app unfortunately. some stuff doesnt resize properly. try maximize it? [10:47] troubled - Tried that :) Some apps (like Inkscape) react very oddly [10:47] chazco: there are some voodoo commands you can pass for X apps in the console though to force certain geometry [10:48] troubled - I've tired xrandr (i think it was) and some Xorg virtual commands, but nothing wanted to go :( [10:48] A panning 1024x768 would be fine, but even that doesnt want to work :( [10:48] chazco: run it windowed if its fullscreen, you can alt drag stuff so you can resize [10:48] chazco: try google for: x windows geometry [10:48] thats a bit of a hack though [10:49] a good app should recognize the display res and adjust [10:49] ActionParsnip - The alt+drag method works with some apps, but ones like Inkscape still dont run correctly [10:49] chazco: that or you could setup X for a virtual desktop size larger than the max [10:49] troubled - Agreed... but it doesnt seem like thats the case [10:49] chazco: but that gets anonying fast (virtual sizes) [10:50] troubled - I tried Virtual 1024 768 in xorg, but it wouldnt work :( [10:50] chazco: id just suggest spending $20 on a cheap 4mb pci card and get yourself a higher res if your monitor can take it [10:50] troubled: is there a setting to set the initial size? [10:50] troubled - Tricky to do that with a laptop :) [10:51] ActionParsnip: I forget, but I think it goes by the order in the x config. I dont use X really anymore, so id have to boot a machine and look [10:51] im a console debian guy :) [10:51] ActionParsnip: So can that error be fixed? [10:51] :( [10:51] troubled: i think its in the mode section [10:51] chazco: ahh, well, then virtual size is prbably your only option [10:51] outbackwifi: rings a bell, thanks [10:51] VNC all working now [10:52] amirdorian@hotmail.com [10:52] Thankyou ActionParsnip [10:52] I'm off now [10:52] Aiee! My manpages have no C documentation! :( [10:52] How do I fix it? [10:52] Sjaki: its not encrypted, just so you know [10:52] is my hdd dying? http://pastebin.com/m3deaa5d9 [10:52] I have forced encryption in vino [10:52] I believe [10:52] MrChutney: install them [10:52] But it's only for local network, not over the internet [10:52] So it's forced local [10:52] Sjaki: id still use rdp [10:53] Sjaki: but if you like it, use it [10:53] Is that better to connect from a windows to a ubuntu? [10:53] From your subjective standpoint? [10:53] from windows to ubuntu id use ssh [10:53] I need to be able to see the ubuntu GUI, not just command line [10:53] Would that still work? [10:54] what method should I use? I want the whole system with xubuntu...just the "Guided - use intire disk"?? [10:54] Sjaki: then yeah vnc, from ubuntu to windows id use rdp [10:54] MrChutney: man 2 pages? [10:54] Ubuntu is the server so it's only ever going one way... Windows to Ubuntu [10:54] I only have 1 monitor you see :) [10:55] Sjaki: id strongly recommend not running an xserver on a linux server [10:55] Or rather, no monitor and a laptop [10:55] Sjaki: for security and stability [10:55] rob; yes [10:55] MrChutney: try: apt-get install manpages-dev [10:55] troubled: I am not sure specifically which section they are located in, but having browsed the synaptic package manager, I've discovered that they are indeed available as deb packages. [10:55] Thanks! [10:55] It is not a working server, just for fun while I explore ubuntu [10:55] that should get you section 2 (kernel api) stuff [10:55] Sjaki: vnc will create a virtual desktop for you [10:56] MrChutney: "man man", should show you the standard sections [10:56] 2 is what manpages-dev will provide [10:56] http://ubuntu.media.mit.edu/ubuntu-releases/.pool/ubuntu-8.10-desktop-i386.iso [10:56] * outbackwifi at the risk of being offtopic wonders what man woman would show [10:56] MrChutney: in the future: apt-get install apt-file && apt-file update && apt-file search /usr/share/man/man2 [10:56] Yes I have TightVNC on windows connecting to my Ubuntu. It seems to work nicely. Should I want my ubuntu to be a working server down the track I will remove the GUI entirely and use SSH. Sound good? [10:56] Sjaki: sounds fine [10:56] hello all [10:57] Fantastic, thanks again for the help ActionParsnip [10:57] Bye :) [10:57] ok troubled tx for your help :) all i need to do now is freez :)) [10:57] hi guys, i have a server that is running dapper, and i want to install a newer version of php, what is the best "ubuntu" way to do this? [10:58] MeanMachine: lol, well good luck with that :) [10:58] hehe [10:58] carl_ apart from backports there is no ubuntu way [10:58] MeanMachine: btw, due to my name being a common word, I dont hilight on antyhing that doesnt have my nick first on the line like: trouble: [10:58] carl_: search synaptic is one way. there is no "best" anything [10:58] so I may not see ya reply otherwise [10:58] sorry, i am running feisty it seems [10:59] ActionParsnip: thing is that the version in the rep is way old [10:59] is there a backport rep or something like that where i can find a newer version? [10:59] ok got it :) [10:59] carl_: then find a repo with a newer version or install a .deb file manually [11:00] well, the one in hardy is a lot newer, question is how i go about installing it without moving the whole dist to hardy? [11:00] guess i can try to install just the .deb [11:00] carl_ you can't really [11:01] could compile maybe? [11:01] ok, and there are no backports or anything for fiesty? [11:01] ActionParsnip not really the ubuntu way, plus it will be missing deps [11:02] ActionParsnip: lots of deps will need an upgrade too, but your right [11:02] ikonia: its essentially linux so its all good in my books :D [11:02] carl_, the ubuntu way is, do not use dapper at this time [11:03] lamego: its feisty, and the server is soon to be replaced, but thats probably 2-3 months out [11:03] lamego fesity is EOL [11:03] i tend to agree with ActionParsnip ; downloading the source and compiling is the safest way to do this; ive done it with postgres [11:03] can anyone tell me why ubuntu doesnt have an mdutils package in its repos? [11:03] carl_, do not use feisty either :P [11:03] patrick-1: mdutils ? [11:03] prolly means mdmutils [11:03] to create lvm volumes [11:04] LOL [11:04] crap! [11:04] mdm :D [11:04] got me there [11:04] patrick-1: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [11:04] patrick-1: tis on the alternate cd methinks [11:04] patrick-1 mdmutils ? [11:04] thxgg [11:05] patrick-1: raid or lvm? [11:05] troubled: both [11:05] Anyone know of an app that can read WMA tags? I found that extract and mplayer didn't get all fields (while amarok sees them) [11:05] patrick-1: in debian, i see lvm2, should be similar for ubuntu [11:05] right [11:06] patrick-1: mdadm for software raid perhaps? [11:06] since i got no proper answer today, i question again [11:06] i am using checkinstall to make a .deb package of fatrat (a download manager) from source. how can i state the dependencies and the conflicts the package has? [11:06] !checkinstall [11:06] checkinstall is a wrapper to "make install", useful for installing programs you compiled. It will create a .deb package, which will be listed in the APT database and can be uninstalled like other packages. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CheckInstall - Read the warnings at the top and bottom of that web page, and DO NOT interrupt CheckInstall while it's running! [11:07] how the repository is taking the package from binary-i386 even if the binary-ia64 is exists [11:07] troubled: but what about mdmutils [11:08] patrick-1: no idea, I dont use software raid [11:08] ganes: wrong repo or non existant repo for the 64bit one? what package is it? [11:08] all hardware raid here [11:08] patrick-1: I can probably help you with lvm though once you get to that point ;) [11:08] anybody usign pydev ? [11:08] sounds neat :) [11:08] troubled: is it worth the money? I've been thinking about it for a while.. [11:09] * outbackwifi thinks he wouldnt be called troubled if it wasnt [11:09] Slart: hardware raid? not sure, this is old raid [11:09] jim_p, i want the package related to binary-ia64 but the apt-get update checking the folder i386 in repo [11:09] Slart: http://images.google.ca/images?q=dell%20poweredge%204200&ie=UTF-8&oe=utf-8&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a&um=1&sa=N&tab=wi [11:09] Slart: I got a pair of those [11:09] Hi. Anyone get a USB microphone to work on their ubuntu [11:09] where? [11:09] ? [11:10] I'm having a problem with Hardy, it stopped yesterday booting (timestamps suggest that a new initrd got written some hours before) and now booting yields in the bestcase a busybox "(initramfs)" prompt :( [11:10] Slart: only ami megaraid scsi2 cards (pci) with hot swap sca drives. nothing fancy, but they are redundant and I dont have to worry about setting up raid in linux [11:10] jim_p, from where it is getting the info. of i386.. i am not mentioning this the architecture to look up .. how it is doing [11:10] troubled: ahh.. I have one of these..http://images.google.se/images?q=mini%20itx&ie=UTF-8&oe=utf-8&rls=com.ubuntu:en-GB:unofficial&client=firefox-a&um=1&sa=N&tab=wi , I think we're playing at the opposite ends of the playground =) [11:11] Slart: you should be using voyage linux with one of those [11:11] jim_p, how the apt-get update is looking binary-i386 folder even it has binary-power-pc [11:11] why am i banned from #ubuntu-release-party ? [11:11] Slart: wow, thats awesome. Id love to have a cluster of those :) [11:11] * Cannot join #ubuntu-release-party (You are banned). [11:11] is that a mistake? [11:11] I can boot the laptop with an OpenSUSE disc, and access the crypted LVM volume but it does not boot with the Hardy install CD :( [11:11] ganes: ia64 is not similar to amd64 !!! in fact ia64 is not used by everyday pcs. it is for intel itanium processors [11:12] kal_: nope they dont want you in [11:12] Slart: all nfs mounts/boots and stuff? [11:12] outbackwifi: I'm running xubuntu with xfce shut down.. it's barely breaking a sweat [11:12] Slart: oh ok [11:12] troubled: not boots.. but home folders, some shared folders for music/documents, firewall, gateway, backups etc [11:13] Slart: i need to get one of those for a kiosk im planning to build [11:13] Hi [11:13] Could anybody suggest me how can I go for MIRC channel for websphere ? [11:13] Anyone got an idea what could make cryptsetup luksOpen hang? === hever is now known as nixer [11:13] im trying to install ubuntu and ubiquity wont get to step 4 [11:13] srinivas: /join #websphere [11:13] after i hit next on step 3 it just freezes [11:14] outbackwifi: I'm very impressed with it so far.. no fans, no problems.. it just runs [11:14] Slart: cool. I dont really use my dells much for anything other than test work. they are too old and slow to depend on really. 2 minute post's on them, not to mention scsi scan takes a goo 30sec on boot and then again in linux [11:14] Slart: thats great; [11:14] troubled: then don't reboot them. :) [11:14] jbroome_: I try not too :) [11:14] can anyone help me? [11:14] srinivas: didnt google tell you? [11:15] jbroome_: they get the room hot though since its 6 hd's each [11:15] Slart: how much does one of em cost? [11:15] and dual 700w psu's [11:15] HELP, how does one remake the initrd ramdisk? Mine seem to miss pvscan and other LVM tools to access my rootfs [11:15] mnj: mkinitrd [11:15] im trying to install ubuntu and ubiquity wont get to step 4 [11:15] Hi. Anyone get a USB microphone to work on their ubuntu? [11:15] hello everyone... [11:16] Jane_, yep have one here working [11:16] hi [11:16] after i hit next on step 3 it just freezes [11:16] why doesnn't compiz work with laptops with ati graphic card [11:16] ubuntu__: whats your h/w config? [11:16] whats that? [11:16] outbackwifi: I think I had to pay.. about.. $400 or something.. about $250 for the motherboard.. then a case and a hard drive.. I already had some memory sticks [11:16] its been 4 months since i used ubuntu .-. [11:16] im installing ubuntu on a compact flash card 8gb what file system is recommended ? ext2 or ReiserFS [11:17] chai_sangeen: ext3 [11:17] hmm i'd do ext2 [11:17] chai_sangeen: will it be plugged in a laptop? [11:17] outbackwifi, well lvm is in the initrd disc, but it still does not boot :( [11:17] has anybody had the problem with ati graphic card and compiz? [11:17] where can i get VBOX addons for ubuntu-8.04 [11:17] GibbaTheHutt - What are your settings in your Sound and Volume Control? [11:17] can they work together? [11:17] outbackwifi: whats h/w config? [11:17] !ati [11:17] For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [11:17] sirMajid: loads of people. atis fglrx is a load of crap for compiz [11:17] ubuntu__: hardware configuration [11:17] jim_p, nope mini-itx with on-board compact flash [11:18] jim_p, what do u mean? they can't work together? [11:18] outbackwifi: where do i find that? i may just be being really stupid right now but i have stage 3 strep throat and just woke up so ill try to not be stupid .-. [11:18] sirMajid: you can try radeon or radeonhd if you want compiz only and no games. [11:18] sound capture is set to ALSA actually, but this is on intrepid, I'm also running hardy and it was on something else, I think ak5370 my mic [11:19] salut tout le monde [11:19] sirMajid: they cant work properly together [11:19] troubled: i did exactly the same thing on a different machine and got a the same error. Anyway got both machines working was just about to give up and go for windows no wait dos... hehe [11:19] sonic_: salut [11:19] ubuntu__: if you are the owner of that machine, you would probably know what is the CPU/RAM/harddisk/graphics board on that machine is [11:19] when when when! [11:19] outbackwifi, from what i've read ext3 had many write cycles and it's not recommended.. i could be wrong though.. [11:19] Are Ubuntu using Firefox or their own debranded version, for which I don't remember the name of? Or is that in the future? [11:19] oooh that [11:19] any official time schelude for the GM release? [11:19] s/Are/Is/ [11:19] jim_p, is all of the visual effects of ubuntu related to compiz? [11:19] elvis123: try debian ;) [11:20] jim_p, I mean there are no visual effects without compiz? [11:20] chai_sangeen: i wouldnt worry about that cos these days write cycles are the least of the problems for CF cards IMHO === naveen is now known as gears [11:20] outbackwifi: cpu is amd live athlon dual core X2 1GB ram 250gb hdd NVidia [11:20] sirMajid: yes. compiz = visual effects [11:20] can i during an installation renice mke2fs because formatting 3 TB takes quite some time? [11:20] jim_p, ok...so what do u mean by just compiz and no games? [11:20] ubuntu__: are you using the correct installer image? [11:21] when is the official release coming?? [11:21] cdimage.ubuntu.com don't open.... that a reason? [11:21] a clean installation of ubuntu 8.10 is good or to upgrade to 8.10 is a good option ? thankx,. i am on 8.04 now [11:21] yeah ive used this cd before [11:21] today but when when when! [11:21] need help with hal. anyone can help me? i need to make a rule in hal [11:21] elvis123: since its an installation what else do you expect to do in the cycles you grab [11:21] outbackwifi, okay i'll go ahead and go with your recommendation... if didn't work out, well we can always reinstall =) [11:21] chai_sangeen: sure [11:21] outbackwifi: ive used this cd a lot of times [11:21] Hey! I'm running into an issue with python and urrlib2, getting a 'no route to host' error (see https://bugs.launchpad.net/python/+bug/94130). Is anyone familiar with this? [11:21] sirMajid: radeonhd will give you compiz, but its too weak for games. fglrx is like 5 times more powerfull than radeonhd, but crappy behavior with compiz [11:22] Is Ubuntu using Firefox or their own debranded version yet (for which I don't remember the name of)? Or is that in the future? [11:22] JesperHansen: firefox [11:22] a clean installation of ubuntu 8.10 is good or to upgrade to 8.10 is a good option ? thankx,. i am on 8.04 now [11:22] ubuntu__: on this pc? [11:22] Oprtz: are you on ati by any chance?? [11:23] yup on the same pm [11:23] pc* [11:23] personally I would do a clean one, but depends what you have on there [11:23] jim_p: no [11:23] jim_p, I don't run games on my ubuntu...I guess radeonhd will be ok...how should I install that [11:23] nevermind it finished. thanks though outbackwifi [11:23] ubuntu__: any particular reason you are reinstalling? [11:23] Oprtz: then upgrade to 8.10 and if this wont work, do the clean install [11:23] outbackwifi: hate vista to death [11:23] jim_p: okie, thanks [11:23] sirMajid: what is your vga? [11:23] jim_p that will be around 1.4 G of data :) [11:24] heelp! I used an old xmodmaps file on my laptop and now all my non-abc keys are messed up. My Up arrow is my printscreen and my printscreen is my delete [11:24] how to disable screen resolution changing in hardy [11:24] jim_p, ati radeon x600 [11:24] outbackwifi: i am on ati so upgrade is a distant dream for now [11:24] ubuntu__: can you tell me the name of the iso that you are using please? === ntinos_19 is now known as ntinos_ [11:24] jim_p: the reason i am asking, because ubuntu DONT show me shared windwos folders, but i can see ubuntu shared folders from windowsXP machine [11:24] What's the way to "rewrite" the whole bootprocess? I need to install grub, it's menu, mkinitramdisk, ... Anything else? [11:24] jim_p, I've already unistalled fglrx and changed my xorg.conf to use open source driver [11:24] outbackwifi: god if i know i burned this cd at least a year and a half ago [11:24] How can i force GCC to reinstall from the repo? [11:25] jim_p, and still I can't enable visual effects [11:25] Does mkinitrd need anything extra to recognize the fact that I've got a crypted LVM setup? [11:25] ubuntu__: if i were you i would do a media check right away and also if its that old, you are not installing hardy [11:25] what's the dynamic dyns thingy called again ? indyna ? [11:25] sirMajid: http://7g.pri.ee/mine.conf this is my xorg.conf... in case you need fglrx ideas :P [11:25] outbackwifi: i think this is fiesty [11:25] i cannot wait for intrepid! [11:25] outbackwifi: or even the one before that [11:25] ^^ [11:25] sirMajid: i dont use compiz and even with the composite options it still freezes! [11:25] jim_p, no...I already removed fglrx [11:26] how longer will 8.10 take [11:26] ubuntu__: i would suggest that you download hardy and install that [11:26] outbackwifi: i dont have any more blank CD's [11:26] anyone please, knows how to disable resolution changing in ubuntu hardy [11:26] outbackwifi: i was just gonna install this and use the upgrade [11:26] Oric: everytime someone asks, they push the release by 2 hours; so its 04 Nov 2130 [11:26] outbackwifi, should i disable swap... i have 1gb ram .. [11:26] jim_p, when im trying to install a package from repository it is fetching the binary-i386 but i want it from binary-ia64 how to do it... [11:27] chai_sangeen: i wouldnt use swap on a CF card at all :) [11:27] outbackwifi: ^_^ [11:27] is there a VM product for Ubuntu that I can control EVERYTHING right down to the max screen rez, etc? [11:27] what is the full path to home? [11:27] ganes: i am asking again... do you know what ia64 is? [11:27] outbackwifi, done =) thanx [11:27] i typed in $set and got http://pastebin.com/m34a56b6, what is it? [11:27] ganes: are you installing on an itanium machine? [11:28] jim_p, when I turn on visual effects, it says "visual effects can't be enabled" [11:28] outbackwifi, no on i386 architecture [11:28] sirMajid: give me a sec. packages.ubuntu.com is slow [11:28] outbackwifi, thanks again for your help the other night. I speed tested it, and balanced out the load coming in from the net, etc and split the data between 2 NICs and it loks to be running better [11:28] saftam: /home/[usernamee]/ [11:28] is debootstrap anyway related to bootstrap-bill from pirates of the Caribbean...? The reason i ask is because you get things like squid-proxy, apache, etc... [11:28] ganes: then why are you trying to download ia64? [11:28] jim_p, ya [11:28] Hey all I've just upgraded my pc to 64 bit stuff and have a Creative Labs 5.1VX PCI card and was wondering how to configure it correctly ... atm all i can get is static or no sound at all thanks in advance [11:28] outbackwifi: so what should i do to fix the installer? [11:28] ganes: do you have an ia64 processor???? an itanium one? [11:28] jim_p, ok... [11:29] i need binary-lpia [11:29] jim_p, no i didnt have [11:29] ubuntu__: i can only suggest that you do a media check first [11:29] outbackwifi: how do i do that? [11:29] ganes: as far as i know, ubuntu does not have ia64 architecture repos [11:29] * outbackwifi bangs his head against the nearest wall [11:29] debian does [11:29] ubuntu__: its one of the options when you boot from the livecd [11:29] jim_p,based on arch it will fetch the binary .. [11:30] so why does ubuntu only come as binaries in 386 rather than 686, is it an issue with every computer post 1980 being able to run it or what? [11:30] outbackwifi: but is it a coincedence that both cd's are doing it? [11:30] ganes: yes so its correctly pulling the 386; why do you want the ia64? [11:30] ganes: well if you dont have a ia64 cpu, why use an ia64 repo? its like installing an amd64 kernel to my cellphone! [11:30] I installed 8.04 the other night an see that 8.10 is about out...will it be safe to upgrade, or shoudl I leave alone for a while? [11:30] z987: it comes as a flyign sausage [11:30] outbackwifi, how the apt-get fetching correctly the i386 without entering into binary-powerpc [11:30] will there be oo.org 3.0 in 8.10 or in the official update repos? [11:30] mikebeecham: i would leave the new release alone for the time being [11:31] hey outbackwifi..ok thanks mate [11:31] guys, is the skype package broken for anyone else ? [11:31] anyone? this VM issue of fine grain control? [11:31] * outbackwifi aargh === RichEd- is now known as RichEd [11:31] luxuss: possibly yes [11:31] outbackwifi, i need binary-lpia [11:31] w00t [11:31] saftarn, no really, I mean wouldn't things be a bit faster if it were optimized for 686? [11:31] luxuss, i hear it will be in Backports repo, or PPA repositories.. === Oric is now known as ubuntu-cn [11:31] ganes: please do not ask such questions; it only shows you are setting out to do something about which you know nothing [11:31] gd [11:32] will update it in the backport [11:32] jim_p: hes all yours [11:32] There was an issue in Ubuntu 8.04 with not recognising certain HDD unless the option was set to AHCI mode in BIOS I think. Do u know if this has been resolved in 8.10? === slobodan is now known as poglavica [11:32] outbackwifi: why? [11:32] dimitris: best way is to install and find out [11:32] jim_p: ive given up [11:33] dimitris: are you greek? nice to see a greek guy in here!

[11:35] stevej678: what's the question? :) [11:35] ganes: unless you have an intel itanium cpu, which is for large pcs made for like nasa, you dont need the ia64! [11:35] ganes: http://apt.rubyforge.org/dists/ubuntu/non-free/binary-lpia/ [11:35] ok now [11:35] * neunon coughs, "Intel Itanic" [11:35] Anyone know how to configure sound cards correctly, I'm using a Creative Sound Blaster 5.1vx in the ia64 bit distro [11:35] Itanic O_o [11:35] ia64?

[11:37] zamba, so rip it with vlc then [11:37] Reynastus: then its not ia64!!! even if you are on intel !!! for ia64 you will need intel itanium cpus, which are not given to common mortals [11:38] Has anyone have anything to say why 8.10 has not been released yet its the 30th roday [11:38] Jim_p: aww fail [11:38] !isitoutyet [11:38] Sorry, I don't know anything about isitoutyet [11:38] Reynastus: why fail?

[11:47] Good morning. I've been following the instructions in this blog post (http://blogs.forever.sg/2008/06/15/lcd-brightness-andubuntu-804-hardy/) about how to set my laptop's brightness. I'm having trouble with /etc/init.d/rc.local. There is no line reading exit 0 [11:47] Reynastus: is this the card? lspci tells something else [11:47] that answer from ubottu is a bit disingenuous [11:47] this is my rc.local: http://pastebin.com/m523c34f3 [11:47] ubuntu 8.10 is available !

[13:55] intrepid is out :) [13:55] kca: it's not [13:55] joaopinto, thanks for the info. [13:55] Tm_T, in the official mirror it's out [13:55] kca: no it's not [13:55] kca: and you can stop now [13:55] can I link it? [13:55] kca: Its not out until the announcement is made. [13:55] no [13:55] unop, adding a new user from webmin works fine now, i guess it was a problem with user 'test'.. but the difference is the new user cant see the server name when ssh'd to it [13:56] # ubuntu-it [13:56] there is the md5sum too! [13:56] it only sees the bash $ .. not user@servername:~$ [13:56] wolfie2x, by the way - samba filesystems are dismounted on shutdown - so i don't see why you have to additionally create a script to do that. [13:56] unop: thx. will try it. have to do this since intrpid doesn't unmount samba for me.. ;( [13:56] kca: you have no way of knowing if it really is the offical image until the official announcement is made [13:57] g0tcha, does the new user have a ~/.bash_profile or ~/.bashrc file ? [13:57] kca, "a" not "the" md5sum, it's not out until they announce it. [13:57] Myrtti, why that should not be official? it's on the official site [13:57] Has anyone experience some GUI glitches (windows not resizing properly, window top not showing up properly) in 8.10 64 bit? [13:57] !isitout | kca [13:57] kca: Ask in #ubuntu-release-party - we don't know here [13:57] Oh.. shoot.. so it hasn't been officially released yet? [13:58] 8.10?

[14:01] ok, i see it now.. let me scroll up to see what files you asked for [14:01] ksoviero: Ubuntu networking questions.... General Linux stuff should be directed to ##linux [14:01] ksoviero, as long as they revolve around ubuntu, sure -- otherwise ##linux or #networking === vzerda is now known as vZerda [14:01] well, they do invole ubuntu [14:01] ksoviero, should be fine then [14:02] unop, the .bashsrc exists, but the .bash_profile doesnt [14:02] g0tcha, ok, how did you create the new user again? webmin? [14:02] !webmin [14:02] webmin is no longer supported in Debian and Ubuntu. It is not compatible with the way that Ubuntu packages handle configuration files, and is likely to cause unexpected issues with your system. See !ebox instead. [14:02] i want to setup an office with 5-10 ubuntu desktops, and a few servers for file, and print sharing. how hard is that under linux/ubuntu [14:02] oh [14:02] [newbie] Which package provides the latest JRE from Sun? [14:02] กู๊ดไนท์ [14:02] g0tcha, it might be worth noting that webmin is seriously limited and quite buggy [14:02] ksoviero: reasonably easy [14:03] tliff, บูเอนาสโน๊เชส (อิตาเลี่ยน) [14:03] Sjaki, บูเอนาสโน๊เชส (อิตาเลี่ยน) [14:03] unop, yeah, i can see that [14:03] join #ubuntu-release-party [14:03] sorry [14:03] they booted me from release-party for posting the official torrent link [14:03] wankers [14:03] unop, i wanted to use webmin instead of remot-control to that ubuntu because its running on an old slow compture [14:03] Can anyone help or direct me to instructions about setting up multiple graphics cards in Ubuntu Hardy?

[14:04] heh i got banned from the release party and didnt even say it was out or give a link :'D [14:04] does samba work under linux, or is there a better open source alt. for file sharing [14:04] if i install vnc on ubuntu, i should b able to connect to it using a windows vnc client, right? [14:04] anyways, check the official torrent page [14:04] it's there [14:04] g0tcha, why not use ssh instead? i'm sure it's lighter on resources than webmin is [14:04] ksoviero: samba is working great [14:04] g0tcha: yes [14:04] ksoviero: if its only linux machines you may want to use NFS which can be faster [14:04] ksoviero: and it is one of the fastest transport methods in your networl [14:04] aapzak: but is there a better open source alt. [14:05] g0tcha: but you don't have to install vnc on ubuntu, it's already installed by default [14:05] ksoviero: not that I know of, samba is very good [14:05] oh, ok [14:05] g0tcha: you just have to set it up [14:05] aapzak, very good is subjective [14:05] hey peops what time is 8.10 actually gonna be released and downloadable today?

I see "xserver-xorg-video-intel" want's to dl. [14:08] update-manager contains update to ibex! [14:08] Neeeewbee: you can install apt-file and then after doing 'apt-file update', you can do 'apt-file show packagename' [14:08] Neeeewbee: what do you mean by containted, whats in the actual package or a description of what it does? [14:08] is it yet? [14:08] g0tcha, sure, but there's a tradeoff in flexibility vs ease of use .. also, if your client can handle X, you can launch graphical applications on the client over ssh.

[15:07] der|kunstler, your welcome [15:07] but as the error "Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' [15:07] indicates [15:07] it does not even connect [15:07] cd / [15:07] ls [15:07] to anything [15:07] Mb81: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [15:07] joaopinto, lemme see... thanks for the hint [15:07] Mb81, it is not about pinging, it's about change the mysql server configuration to make the service available remotely [15:07] Mb81-> you have to correct your jdbc connect string [15:08] philippe_ I had a sound problem on 8.04 amd64 so I'm not sure they fix this.... [15:08] n8thyoung, you do not need jdbc to connect to a mysqlserver from php :) [15:08] hmm... i use the default mysql client config i guess [15:08] joaopinto, 0.9.4-1ubuntu3 .... that means it's good... what does multiverse means ? [15:08] jdbc for php5-cli ? [15:08] Mb81, you need to change it, check your /etc/mysql [15:08] Mb81, jdbc has nothing to do with this talk :) [15:08] joaopinto-> what does php called their connectivity? im just to java, using jdbc :P [15:08] n0kS, I really can't tell. You can take the i386 one but only 3 gigabyte of ram will be detected/used [15:09] n8thyoung, it's just, the mysql module for php :) [15:09] does anyone here know how to edit an ISO file and inject txt or other types of files into them ? I am trying to find a way to backup my old windows system and put my keys on a disc by iso editing a txt file by injection... please help ? [15:09] same concept, its a data connector, for database [15:09] hmm.. joa. the my.conf setup seems alright === desti_T2 is now known as desti [15:09] networking is allowed [15:10] Ximal uncompress the iso file, put your files inside and then compress it [15:10] and binding to local ip is removed [15:10] Ximal, you can copy the iso to the HD, mount it with loopback mount, and just edit it === Eruaran is now known as Eruaran|Currentl === Eruaran|Currentl is now known as Eruaran|Seeding [15:10] do i need to install mysql server package to access a remote mysql server ? [15:10] Mb81-> you are connecting to remote and not local. so change the connect string to connect to remote [15:10] does ubuntu support .uha files? [15:10] so use an ISO mounting tool ? like iso mount ? and then edit it ? [15:10] I have a zonet modem with a motorola chipset and after installing it and configuring wvdial, when i try to dial it sends the first INT string successfully then cant find the carrier, what could cause this?

[15:11] without getting that error [15:11] Mb81, have you changed your mysql server config already ? [15:11] YAY!!! [15:11] yes [15:11] joaopinto: the kernel is not just one package - it has modules, modules-restricted etc [15:11] wish i had a faster mirror [15:11] just one line [15:11] heh [15:11] Mb81, did you restart mysql after the change ? === Eruaran|Seeding is now known as Eruaran [15:12] rohan, sure, just list them with sudo dpkg -l linux-* :) [15:12] hmmm... sec [15:12] let me look === Codedrunk is now known as Codedrunk_Work [15:12] yet i don´t believe its an cause [15:12] on the remote mysql server [15:12] anyone has teh same problem as me? not able to make inputs to GRUB with an usb keyboard [15:12] Mb81, also did you granted privileges to remote connections, with the mysql grant command ? [15:12] Mb81-> it is the client you are configuring here, not the server, but also make sure the server at the remote end allows network connections [15:12] it does not seem like mysql client on the main serv [15:12] can work [15:12] grindhold, make sure your bios has usb legacy keyboard support enabled [15:13] joaopinto : what is this loopback mount ? [15:13] wouldn´t be the error like "timeout" [15:13] !iso | Ximal [15:13] Ximal: To mount an ISO disc image, type « sudo mount -o loop » - There is a list of useful cd image conversion tools at http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/CD_Image_Conversion - Always verify the ISO using !MD5 before !burning.

[15:15] lol [15:15] Mb81-> have you looked at the mysql tutorials? please do if you have not yet [15:16] Ximal, whatever is your filename ;) [15:16] what is better upgrading by update-manager -d or a fresh new installation(witch a homepartition)? [15:16] well, its php-cli [15:16] not the usual stuff [15:16] weirdo, ubuntu developers recommend doing the upgrade [15:16] how can i sincronize my nike+? [15:16] Mb81-> same thing, look at the tutorials on how to use php-cli [15:16] ? [15:16] well, i check the config again [15:16] why does ubuntu web site say only about 8.10 server ? [15:16] is there anyway i can do apt-get remove *2.6.24-16* ? [15:17] Mb81, is not about configuration, is about your lack of knowledge on how to use the mysql client, please read the manpage or a tutotiral [15:17] well, its just a package installation [15:17] doubt there is much todo [15:17] w0000t release day :-D [15:17] weirdo, personally I backup and do a fresh installation to avoid upgrade difficulties, although backing up data is recommended before upgrading anyway [15:17] im looking through the settings on xchat startup list, and there is no auto join channels list anymore only a favourites, how do i autojoin my favourite channels? [15:17] G__81, http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/downloadmirrors#mirrors shows more then just server here. [15:17] rohan, try: sudo apt-get remove "linux-*2.6.24-16*" [15:17] the upgrade is 749 mb wtf [15:17] weirdo: why is that surprising? [15:18] you were expecting, perhaps, 748MB? [15:18] Bodsda, favourite channels is the autojoin list [15:18] weirdo-> please your language...btw use a fresh install instead of upgrade [15:18] Hello. [15:18] weirdo: thats all the software on the cd, plus whatever you installed from the repositories [15:18] its not surprising [15:18] dr_willis, but why is the flash which is in ubuntu web site says only about server [15:18] ok... it's not working.. [15:18] n8tuser, do not recommended a fresh install over an upgrade ! [15:18] joaopinto: didn't work. i'll use a gui package manage ri guess [15:18] it says unable to edit the folder sir.. [15:18] cwillu, how come it doesnt work then? are they meant to be seperated with a comma then a space? [15:18] G__81, No idea.. does it really matter.. :) [15:18] I have Ubuntu 8.04 installed.. but the performance is quite slow. I have Gnome and everything, which I like allot..

[15:19] e1000 prob? fixed [15:19] n8thyoung, but that is not the recommended procedure [15:19] the upgrade to 8.10 is running [15:19] bahadunn, can you be more specific? [15:19] znh: with 256mb ram, not surprised it's slow. maybe xubuntu for that machine? [15:19] cwillu: yeah but I have to look it up cause I forgot what the problem was [15:19] n8thyoung, I've never had a failed upgrade. [15:19] maco, I know it's existence and tried it before, but it has way less functionality than Gnome has [15:20] joaopinto-> then what, people keep coming here and complains their upgrade didnt work, so i just suggest a fresh install, less headaches [15:20] help please.... [15:20] cwillu: it is about a networking change in the kernel that caused distribution headaches [15:20] znh: well 256mb is the minimum ubuntu needs to run [15:20] did people have problems upgrading to 8.10? [15:20] cwillu: cannot tell you more then that as it is a "subscriber only" article on LWN.net [15:21] boinboing: did you have a problem upgrading to 8.10? [15:21] lwn <3 [15:21] xorlim, yes !

I am doing a fresh install of Intrepid for some reason. Can I make a list of all the packages installed here through synaptic and use it in Intrepid (assuming the package names have not changed) to reduce the burden of selecting them separately? [15:21] boinboing: what happened? [15:21] maco, I admit its not enough, but are there tweaks or something alike? [15:21] can anyone help me please? [15:21] madrazr, just do an upgrade [15:21] !cloning | madrazr [15:21] madrazr: To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « dpkg --get-selections > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo dpkg --set-selections < my-packages && apt-get dselect-upgrade » - See also !automate [15:22] znh: you can look at system -> admin -> services and disable things like bluetooth which i bet that old of a computer doesnt have [15:22] at http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/dvd/current/ the DVD ISO images are updated to the final release of ubuntu 8.10 ? [15:22] maco, okay [15:22] n8tuser, I had the same idea, but the upgrade process is expected to be more reliable nowadays === astor-brazil is now known as ricardoromao [15:22] xorlim, my ati hd 2600 pro pci-e doesnt' work, it has the envy drivers...and after upgrading to 8.10 the video crashes, no way to login in graphic mode [15:22] alguem sabe porque o Kernel 2.6.21 nao navega na internet??? [15:22] cwillu: as I said I cannot upgrade, I have messed up my system enough, I need a fresh install [15:22] boinboing: ok [15:22] znh: you might want to look at finding some lighterweight alternatives to some of whats in ubuntu [15:23] Where do I download JeOS? http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/jeos/ isn't working [15:23] xorlim, i would like to reinstall and i need to save my old "home" folder to another partition, but from live cd seems i can't.

[15:24] maco: ok no problem :) [15:24] bahadunn: the issue has to do with a change in the TCP stack in Linux [15:24] I was thinking of following this, but it's lengthy and looks outdated: https://wiki.kubuntu.org/BootToRAM [15:24] bahadunn: it broke some broken devices [15:24] i have a new notebook sony vaio with wi.... installed, i want to install ubuntu 8.10, what version should i install, 32 o 64 bits? sony vaio model is vgn-nr498e [15:24] maco: eu falo pt [15:24] hackel maybe you can, using events, but i have not seen many scripts to make use of it yet [15:24] Where do I download JeOS? http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/jeos/ isn't working [15:24] bahadunn: and ubuntu worked around it for intrepid by disabling TCP timestamping. [15:24] that's a secret [15:25] maco, yes. The ease of wireless networking. The good look it has. and not to forget the quite new packages and often new updates.

[15:28] yes [15:28] znh: ok, well in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist you can add "blacklist nvidia" and "blacklist ati" so that it doesnt load those graphics drivers into memory [15:28] is there any reason why I shouldn't be able to build the Intrepid kernel in Hardy? [15:28] joaopinto: I burned it twice, and both got errors [15:29] mib_7wxb3j9d, so it is not related to the image, nut to the CD burner/media :) [15:29] hi does somebodz know why i cannot use nor my keyboard, nor my mouse?

[15:32] <[TiZ]> Unfortunately, I can't actually help.

[15:33] i run a lot of server stuff on local to do some testing actually [15:33] joaopinto: i will use textmode installation [15:33] does anyone know of a sendmail gui? [15:33] has anyone got 8.10 to install with an ati card? [15:33] ferronica, then you will need to shrink your ntfs part, and create the new one for ubuntu [15:33] !server > xiaopi [15:33] xiaopi, please see my private message [15:34] Might be a place to start but I've already got a custom config.

[15:34] thx musictoto [15:34] where is the firewall in 8.10? [15:34] xiaopi no problem [15:34] actually. now that I think about it, I'm using the default config for it anyway. I gave up on the custom one. [15:34] timposey, read the ps man pages.. it shows processes [15:34] so less server apps on desktop livecd? [15:34] flakrat-> should be in the same place, do a sudo iptables -vL [15:35] timposey, ps ax shows ALL processes [15:35] I thought I better try to build it and I get a log full of errors. >.> [15:35] xiaopi: you can install everything that's on the server edition on the desktop edition and vice versa manually [15:35] xiaopi: but by default, yes. [15:36] i know just i got slow isp at work and just wanna download it at home tonight :) [15:36] Can anyone tell me a command that allows me to view what files a package provides?

Sound works perfectly fine in firefox (youtube etc.) but I don't have any sound when trying to play videos I have on my hd! (using) VLC, any ideas? [15:39] ok thank you [15:39] foorilious, just run update manager as usual [15:39] ahh ok thanks (xrandr) [15:39] joaopinto: you mean creating new partition for ubuntu right where it resides? [15:40] how to find my currnet version is beta, rc or fina? [15:40] why is 8.10 not supported for as long as 8.04? Still unstable? [15:41] MrPink ... sometimes you have to select right soundtrack in vlc [15:41] Because it's not an LTS release [15:41] \long term support [15:41] what is an LTS release? [15:41] Oh [15:41] :) [15:41] You knew that before I typed that, wow [15:41] !lts [15:41] LTS means Long Term Support. LTS versions of Ubuntu will be supported for 3 years on the desktop, and 5 years on the server. [15:41] ferronica, yes [15:41] aldur: its not only VLC all other players I have tried so far have the same thing [15:42] which version of VLC is in 8.10 btw? [15:42] ldiamond, no, it's stable, but LTSs are have their own schedule [15:42] vlc 0.9.4 [15:42] DefineByte, check at packages.ubuntu.com [15:42] thanks :D [15:42] !packages > DefineByte [15:42] DefineByte, please see my private message [15:42] how to find the installed version is beta, rc or final? [15:42] joaopinto: oh ok thanx :) so there is no problem i have already two partitions :) [15:42] Ok, lets rephrase. Why is 8.10 not a LTS? [15:43] MrPink.. okey. did you have sound previously in vlc? [15:43] ldiamond-> perhaps timing? [15:43] mib_qz3pfm, if you have installed any of those, just install the updates, you will be with the final [15:43] ...? what does timing have to do with that? [15:43] does anyone know which iptables version that Ibex has? [15:43] ferronica_, so just choose to use the one which is free [15:43] ldiamond: there is a release calendar [15:43] !packages > darkvertex [15:43] darkvertex, please see my private message [15:44] darkvertex, iptables --version [15:44] iptables -> v1.4.0 [15:44] ldiamond: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/TimeBasedReleases [15:44] only releases from April are LTS? [15:44] aldur: yes I have had sound before [15:44] MrPink-, what do you have set in your sound preferences as sources [15:44] there aren't enough developers to provide long term support for /every/ release [15:44] dr_willis: download still in progress :( [15:44] ugh [15:44] ldiamond, no, LTSs do not have a fix schedule [15:44] sorry === LjL changed the topic of #ubuntu to: Official Ubuntu Support Channel Be patient and read https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FAQ | Support options: http://www.ubuntu.com/support | IRC info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC | Pastes to http://paste.ubuntu.com | Install Ubuntu: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/download | Intrepid is OUT!!! Party in #ubuntu-release-party | Ubuntu site and mirrors/archive might be slow/down, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Download [15:45] not LTS releases have many cutting edge features, that aren't tested at all [15:45] so they normally are unstable, but the why of this is because many people will test it [15:45] and more bug reports will come [15:45] ArkoldThos: All Releases are tested. [15:45] GibbaTheHutt: Alsa [15:45] joaopinto: thanks [15:45] Pici: do you have used Intrepid already? [15:45] :P [15:45] ArkoldThos, yes, and it is stable [15:45] ArkoldThos: Yes. I've been running it since early Alphas. [15:46] them are tested, but still they try to add many cutting edge features [15:46] lts means you can use it in your system and stop worrying for next 4,5 years [15:46] MrPink... sounds strange :P maybe you should try to run alsamixer in terminal to really check that you dont have some channel muted... [15:46] MrPink-, tried setting music/movies to pulseaudio ? [15:46] aldur: I already started alsamixer and checked its all set to "full" [15:46] GibbaTheHutt: No, what is pulseaudio ? [15:46] MrPink and not muted? [15:47] ek [15:47] aldur: nothing is muted [15:47] its the soundserver [15:47] I have that set (though its not without its issues) [15:47] Are there certain GUI glitches in Intrepid? Sometimes the windows don't have a header and resizing doesn't always work properly [15:48] troal01, see if the same happens if you change the theme (I get that in human theme sometimes so I change it, seems to fix it for me) [15:49] MrPink sorry i dont have a solution.... maybe try to remove ./vlc folder in your home dir and pray that vlc discover your soundcard correctly :) [15:49] for those that have 8.10 successfully installed -- let us know how the upstart and event.d stuff works, improved or same ? [15:49] I guess I'll upgrade to 8.10 and see if I can compile it form there. x) === tux is now known as tuxx67 [15:50] <_lord_x> hi guys, i have setup my ubuntu to send me emails when my backups are done or failed. but i also get emails from cron (i have running a little backup script). the email from cron doesnt get delivered and so i get a message not delivered email back to my sender email. how can i stop this? [15:50] Hi all, just installed ubuntu 8.10 and my hard drive is click every minute or so. [15:50] GibbaTheHutt: When I go to sound preferences and "test" the sound with the beeping Alsa is the only one that seems to work [15:50] evolution is still refusing to let me delete a message from trash [15:51] GibbaTheHutt: Switched to Glossy, seems to have fixed it thanks! [15:51] <_lord_x> ah i need to say the backup script if for the config files of my real backup software :) [15:52] seed [15:52] seeeed [15:52] I have 8.10 on a Dell E6500 and get no sound at all if any app like firefox or rdesktop is running, and if those apps aren't running, the sound is extremely quiet. I've been through all the alsamixer / volume control stuff. [15:54] wers, gee.. i was getting amazing fast download speeds.. seems theres plenty of seeds [15:54] how fast for you, dr_willis ? [15:54] just 60kbps for me [15:54] wers, well 2 whole isos in under.. 20 min.. proberly quicker.. i wasent paying attention.. I got kubuntu and ubuntu 64bits just now.. [15:55] what the [15:55] which torrent? [15:55] is there any desktop viewer applicaiton for ubuntu. like teamviewer? [15:55] <_lord_x> vnc? [15:55] O_o [15:55] _lord_x: nop something like teamviewer [15:56] <_lord_x> whats the difference? [15:56] or microsoft sharepoint [15:56] Sharepoint is a CMS [15:56] wers ubuntu-8.10-desktop-amd64.iso torrent. [15:56] anyone use usb-creator? [15:57] that allows your desktop to be shared with other developers, around the world and explain something [15:57] is the default ubuntu wallpaper available somewhere separately? [15:57] can i install ubuntu from my usb disk as i would a cd, like a full install [15:57] tuxx67, yeah [15:57] dr_willis, i'm downloading the i386. it should be faster or at least as fast. what the hell is wrong with this? does it have anything to do with the fact that I'm on windows xp now? haha [15:57] let me find you a link [15:57] shesek, and not have to use the usb disk everytime i boot? [15:57] wers, No idea.. i was using utorrent on vista for mine [15:57] just testing if I am connected and who I am connected as [15:57] tuxx67, you can install it to the HD, as you normally do [15:57] hi, I'm trying to install Ubuntu Server and after configuring a software RAID 1, I cannot format it (sticks at 33%), then when I try to disassemble the RAID in the partition manager, it says it cannot b/c it is in use. is this common? [15:58] shesek, coolo [15:58] tuxx67, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick [15:58] GibbaTheHutt: aldur: any other ideas :-/ [15:58] my ubuntu doesn't see my flash drive... [15:58] Sup wit dat? [15:58] ooh. i'm also using utorrent but on xp. dr_willis you downloading with the official torrent file right? [15:58] Should I be able to create more than one normal partition inside a RAID md, or do I need to use LVM on top of RAID? [15:58] wers, yes. i belive so [15:59] The kernel is still using CONFIG_FIRMWARE_EDID=y I see. :( [15:59] will Nvidia 9800 gx2 work with 8.10? [15:59] MrPink-, I think ideally you need to look at getting pulseaudio working, maybe check in /var/log/messages see if anything amiss with errors on bootup [15:59] Omg running 8.10 now :D [15:59] MrPink-, do you have mutiple sound cards ? [15:59] is there a minimal version of this latest release [15:59] wers, from http://torrent.ubuntu.com:6969/ [15:59] ideal for thinclients per se? [16:00] hi. how do i enable a property of compiz-fusion that consist in separating all open windows each time the cursor moves to the right top corner [16:00] MrPink sorry :( can you play mp3 with your musicplayer? [16:00] I can't find any Xubuntu 8.10 torrents, is Xubuntu not supported by Canonical any longer?:( [16:00] eth01, I guess the best option is to do a minimal install using the alternate cd [16:00] Dudes, how do I get Ubuntu to see my flash drive? [16:00] marco_, that's expose, right? Let me check ccsm [16:00] ok, my thoughts. [16:00] thanks! ^ [16:00] Mimi, ask on #xubuntu [16:01] thanks Mimi [16:01] Mimi, i see them at http://torrent.ubuntu.com:6969/ [16:01] joaopinto, thanks :) [16:01] Hi all, just installed ubuntu 8.10 and my hard drive is click every minute or so. [16:01] congratulations everybody [16:02] Is the RC the same as the final release? [16:02] <_lord_x_> nope [16:02] I did a clean install of ibex, and it seems a lot slow and screen flickers ocassionally. Anyone elses noticed this? [16:02] Using the RC [16:02] dr_willis, got it, thanks for the link :) [16:02] Ah well. :) [16:03] DefineByte, once ya update/upgrade it will be [16:03] pavs, yes. on kubuntu [16:03] can someone tell me which version of wine ibex ships with? is it still 1.0? [16:03] marco_ any way to fix that? [16:03] dr_willis. I don't have it installed. I need it for another computer.

[16:04] grendal_prime, you can watch xvid on windows... [16:04] pavs, sorry. i'm a newbie. i don't know. i wish i could know the solution. i like kubuntu but i removed it because the screen flickers [16:04] Im using acidrip and there is the vfw option, but that just errors and says it cannot locate the codec. [16:05] dr_willis ya if we install a codec..wich i have no problem with doing but the it guys hate that idea [16:05] i dont' get this sentence about landscape.... "Trials will be restricted to users who register 5 or more machines on the system. The free trial lasts for 60 days." is that means if i have less than 5 machines i can't sub to the service or it's totally free even after 60 days? [16:05] marco_ ok thanks for the confirmation. [16:05] grendal_prime, i find it supriseing they dont allready have the divx codec or a dozen other codecs allready installed.. [16:05] Do you still need HDD initrd.gz/vmlinuz files? [16:06] grendal_prime: you can use mencoder to encode that to mpeg4v3 which is available on every version of windows since 95 [16:06] ya me to, but they dont.. aside from me and about 4 other guys(that are using new macbooks) it is an all ms house. [16:06] anyone have a launchpad account? [16:06] tell them too bad. :) [16:06] dulak, ok can i use that with acidrip? [16:06] A client wants to know, if Ubuntu 8.04 LTS will work with 4 Quadcore CPU's. How can I know if Hardy will make use of those 4 CPU's with each 4 cores ? I do not find any info on that, except http://webapps.ubuntu.com/certification/list/?category=Server [16:07] joaopinto: no only one soundcard... and as I said sound in general is working (firefox, systemsounds etc.) [16:07] grendal_prime: no idea, mencoder is a command line encoder, never used acidrip [16:07] I'm looking for a fast mirror to DL 8.10... any around? [16:07] Or torrents? [16:07] ldiamond, torrents are the way to go [16:07] !torrents | legend2440 [16:07] legend2440: Intrepid can be torrented from http://hr.releases.ubuntu.com/8.10/ubuntu-8.10-desktop-i386.iso.torrent or http://se.releases.ubuntu.com/8.10/ubuntu-8.10-server-amd64.iso.torrent depending on your architecture. Torrents for other Ubuntu flavours can be found at: http://it.releases.ubuntu.com/ (CD) or http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases (DVD). [16:07] ldiamond: the repos will be under load at the moment, [16:07] hello [16:07] jlamsens, we've got an 8core server with 8.04 ... There is a special SMP kernel for such machines [16:07] ldiamond: see above [16:07] I think acidrip is a front end for mplayer which i believe uses mencoder [16:07] Oh, I guess Poland is faster than US! [16:08] emonkey: there shoulnd't be a special kernel for 8 core [16:08] emonkey: 8 core is not big [16:08] Is it possible to mount a partition twice on to different mount points ? [16:08] A_I_, yes. [16:08] ikonia, no not especially 8core just for multicore [16:08] A_I_, not always a good idea however [16:08] <^andrea^> hello everyone [16:08] (like /mnt/disk and /home/user/mydisk) [16:08] Thanks emonkey; any idea where to find more info on that ? By the way: is your 8 core server on 2 CPU's ? [16:08] hmmm I have sound with "Movie Player" but not with any other player (Gxine / xine, VLC, Mplayer) [16:08] dr_willis why ? [16:08] Hi people [16:08] emonkey there isn't a special kernel for multi-core [16:08] any ideas? [16:08] emonkey: the default kernel is smp aware [16:08] jlamsens, yes 2CPU with 4cores [16:08] A_I_, when you want tounmount them.. you need to rember to unmount them both. [16:08] A_I_, if you need it somewhere else also.. use a soft link. [16:09] people, need help: my base-files package got damaged... And now I can't download any packages... Someone could help me on fixing this?? [16:09] one anoying thing about intrepid - the file choosers show different items in the places list for different applications [16:09] Emonkey and ikonia: so I understand that the default kernel is SMP aware, at least for 2 CPU's with 4 cores. But what about 4 CPU's with 4 cores ? Anyone a link; I want this on paper... [16:09] N0_Named_Guy: what is the exact error, and are you on hardy or intrepid? [16:10] jlamsens smp is fine for many cpu's with many cores [16:10] intrepid [16:10] <^andrea^> which is a good program with a nice GUI to create .iso images? [16:10] How came a make an e with one of those little accent marks over the top of it like they do in Spanish and Italian? [16:10] Make that using the keyboard.

[16:15] What is the biggest difference between doing a Wubi install in Windows - or - a install on a separate partition on hard drive ? ? [16:15] when I open it with gparted, it says it has 2 TB, but it's a 500GB drive. also cfdisk says: "FATAL ERROR: cannot get the disk size" or something like that. fdisk says that it needs to know the number of cylenders. I'm running everything as root. what's up here?! [16:15] N0_Named_Guy: you will reinstall them after removing them, its to clear the error. You can also do sudo apt-get reinstall base-files but I am not so sure if that would work [16:15] investigating [16:15] MaxFrames: yes... and i also tried one off TPB ... but they are the same torrent [16:15] levander: I am not sure about keyboard shortcuts, sorry [16:15] pace_t_zulu: strange, I have no problems here [16:15] ziroday: but it is removing many important packages that depend on base-files, such as BASH :| [16:16] must be my network [16:16] lavender are you responding to umlot question?

[16:21] Im getting faster speeds on the torrents right now todya, theni have EVER gotten on ftp downloads [16:21] :) [16:21] N0_Named_Guy: everybody's trying to download it, it's current the fastest way [16:21] ok [16:21] thx [16:21] *currently [16:21] dr_willis: What do you use for your IRC client? [16:21] I've deleted data on my ntfs (win xp) partition [16:21] nite_johnboy, i use xchat under windows and linux [16:21] pici, ikonia, i'll mess with it when i get home thanks for the help [16:21] Does ubuntu 8.10 support 3d effects and such for ati yet? [16:21] Shouldn't the countdown banner be updated? Still says "coming soon" http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/countdown [16:21] dr_willis: are you running Fluxbox? [16:21] I'm trying to use the instructions here http://www.pendrivelinux.com/2007/10/15/ubuntu-toram-how-to-make-ubuntu-boot-to-ram/ to fix the toram option, but I failed, as is shown here: http://pastebin.com/d63f43a45 [16:22] Rockj, the fglrx drivers work under 8.10 [16:22] nite_johnboy, nope. [16:22] Is the open NV driver any good? Not big into 3d but youtube is a must? [16:22] N0_Named_Guy, yes, you can use metalink files, go for the aria2c application, the fastest way to download something [16:22] thx icqnjumber [16:22] dr_willis: Mind asking what desktop - ? KDE ? [16:22] thx icqnumber [16:23] nite_johnboy, using gnome for the tinme being.. or JWM+Rox-filer [16:23] dr_willis: For the newer 4800 series cards as well? [16:23] I'm running Ibex and can't enable Compiz, even though I have installed the 177 driver. Even starnger it seems as if I have composite shadows already. [16:23] Roky, no idea. I avoide ati.. i got 1 laptop with an ati card and it worked. [16:24] Will I still be able to use desktop effects after I ditch the proprietary Nvidia driver for the open one? [16:24] dr_willis: hmm yeah I tried installing 8.10 from amd's website but I get an error after I run the installer [16:25] Is there a built in back up feature in Hardy? I would to backup my system before upgrading to 8.10. If not can anyone recommend a good backup app? [16:25] Roky, i never use the packagtes from the ati sites.. i alwyas use whats in the repos [16:25] Why is the 64bit version named "amd64", intel also has 64bit...? [16:25] dr_willis: Yea last install got warmed up to Gnome - like it best so far as well - Run Flux to as well sometimes (Fast as a speeding bullet...) Thanks for info on best install method - had a hunch partition was best for me ? === jason__ is now known as DBO [16:25] I have a hard disk, and it has encrypted hardy on it(default settings from alternative install), I'm on ibex now..how can I mount this hardy file system from ibex? [16:26] I look in /dev/mapper, and I don't see anything... [16:26] are they reassigning irc channels or something? in xchat i try Network>Channels and xchat freezes and i have to restart xchat /join works though [16:26] What is the default device name in /dev/mapper for hardy? [16:26] How could I set up my interface in ubuntu to use DHCP for IP and use DNS server that I specify here is my interfaces config : http://paste2.org/p/94482 [16:27] Where is best website to visit to find out major differences between Intrepid & Hardy ? [16:27] ldiamond, I am pretty sure it is compatible with both Intel and AMD 64 bits architecture. I am currently running the amd64 release on my core 2 duo with no problem [16:27] Well, I know that, but why name it AMD64? [16:27] hello all, my keyboard layout is all wrong after upgrading to 8.10. Does anyone know how to fix this? [16:28] I tried to edit the settings in the keyboard thingie in the settings menu, but without succes [16:28] dr_willis: I found the only available drivers in repos but they sar there already installed, yet I still can't get any kind of eyecandy running at all heh [16:28] ldiamond, maybe they are both intercompatible but ubuntu has to choose one or the other [16:28] ldiamond: Because the specification is by AMD and Intel follows it for their consumer 64bit cards, as opposed to the Itanium 64bit spec. [16:29] ty [16:29] i have virtual box and i already have xp dual-booted on my computer. can i use that xp already on here or do i have to install xp again after getting virtualbox? === xnixan_ is now known as xnixan [16:30] hi all [16:30] ldiamond: Looks like the wiki page says the same thing too (but with lots more info) if you're interested: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amd64 [16:30] hello all, my keyboard layout is all wrong after upgrading to 8.10. Does anyone know how to fix this? [16:30] lungren, you have to install XP again in your VirtualBox. Virtualisation and dual booting is two thing [16:30] I'm trying to use the instructions here http://www.pendrivelinux.com/2007/10/15/ubuntu-toram-how-to-make-ubuntu-boot-to-ram/ to fix the toram option, but I failed, as is shown here: http://pastebin.com/d63f43a45 [16:30] Yeah, it's a party. :D [16:31] networkmanager locks my network kernel modules ...

[16:36] Anyone NOT happy with ibex? I did a clean install and it's flickering and seems slower than 8.04. I used te RC though, which should be the same as the final release. [16:36] lungren, can you give a bit more info about "wine doesn't work" [16:36] hi, i'm using a tablet pc (hp tx2015au), i want to disable touchscreen feature(finger touch) while keeping the stylus pen functioning, don't know how. please help. ubuntu 8.04 x86 version. [16:36] N_Nick: you will need to mount your local disk, and then browse to the /boot/ section of that drive, the /boot section you are looking at is most likely the live CD's [16:36] it doesnt run the games [16:36] Does anyone know a good howto for setting up a local package mirror for a bunch of ubuntu servers? [16:36] lungren: wine works fine. [16:37] n [16:37] lungren, games that say they work in wine ?

[16:38] pregier, try changing from human theme if using that and see if it helps [16:38] gyven: i thought so, but cant get the mount command right. mount /boot /dir would point at the live cd /boot as well right?

[16:40] just a quick question: if I find any bug in Ubuntu 8.10, and the bug is relative to a particular application (for example Pidgin), do I have to submit the bug to Pidgin team or can I use the launchpad website, ecc....?

[16:54]  from can i get ubuntu 8.10 dvd version for download [16:54] Does the Alternate Install CD allow an internet-download installation? [16:55] I know on the main page it tells you how to update from 8.0.4 to Ibex but is there anything special other then running update manager to update to the release of Ibex from the beta? [16:55] mikebeecham: well I haven't noticed any bugs so far (after using it for several minutes :) ) but I don't *think* there's anything to worry about. [16:55] mikebeecham: since you only installed it a few days ago, better to upgrade now before you get too established and run into a problem later :) intrepid should run fine, although you may have to renable wireless [16:55] Roky: i have ati radeon 9600 and these instructions worked for me to get fglrx drivers working http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Ubuntu_Intrepid_Installation_Guide#The_open_source_drivers [16:55] can I upgrade using the update-manager as per usual [16:55] !finale | KJee8 nope, thats it [16:55] Sorry, I don't know anything about finale [16:55] nite_johnboy: well, once the brunt of the download storm is over, we'll start hearing about a lot of those issues and trying to fix them [16:55] !minimal | jubesz [16:55] jubesz: The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD).

How come it's not standard anymore [16:56] jubesz: Yeah, a CD passing the test shouldn't be a problem, which is why I'm not real sure where to go from here. If that second CD doesn't work, try netbooting; if that doesn't work, we'll know it's not a problem with the install medium.

[16:57] Ubuntu is making strides against Microsoft [16:57] dug_: thanks....see you on the other side :D [16:57] mikebeecham: but you only have been running it a few days. if you want you can backup first using something like sbackup or partimage [16:57] !ot | tofu [16:57] tofu: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter.

[16:58] Gnea:okay [16:58] tofu//if you can at least boot into windows vista, try sfc /scannow to repair system files [16:58] isdvd version available for download?

[16:59] hello, I am using ibm thinkpad 61 [16:59] any body.... [16:59] not sure what's wrong, but after I upgraded to 8.10 today [16:59] tofu//if you cannot boot into windows, insert your windows vista cd, and use recovery option - it works great, you won't believe that thing is from microsoft. [16:59] my arrow key no longer worked [16:59] adib: get a hold of a live cd and boot from that into ubuntu and test [16:59] Happy Intrepid Ibex release day! And thank you to everyone involved in getting this release out. [16:59] Thank God I ordered a Ubuntu Linux CD weeks before MS Vista endless reboots [17:00] tofu: please /join #ubuntu-offtopic [17:00] juniecho, I have done all of that everytime you update MS garbage OS it takes a long time for your computer to start [17:00] Does Xubuntu need to connect to the internet when installing? [17:00] Gnea, Thanks you but I am responding to a question [17:00] Rob, no internet is not required for install [17:00] tofu: that's fine, just take the vista discussion elsewhere [17:01] Rob, no, it does not [17:01] scarface, thanks...on Xubuntu I get an error at 6% :( [17:01] The Computer I am using is an HP Pavillion 9410us [17:01] Hello, I would like to know if kubuntu 8.10 includes the e1000e kernel bug fix ? [17:01] Rob, what error? [17:01] Guest87319: It does indeed. [17:01] Rob: if your using cd you can install but you need internet to do updates after install [17:01] tofu, gnea// sorry for being a bit off-topic, anyway, i actually dual-boot, but both vista and ubuntu works very fine even after vista updates. anyway... [17:01] the grafik wont work for nvidia? [17:01] I've mostly recovered from the kernel upgrade (screen driver problems and -- for some bizarre reason -- loss of my Firefox profile). I'd like to know, going forward, how to avoid similar issues in the future. Obviously simply OK'ing any updates so that I can stay current doesn't work out well. What should I check and where should I check it, before clicking that update button? [17:02] Ubuntu recognized most of the hardware except for the wifi card which I configured following online documents [17:02] scarface: at 6%...I get "Warning: file:///cdrom/pool/main/p/pam/libpam-rubtine_0.99.7.1-5ubunut1_all.deb was corupt" [17:02] Ubuntu actually runs better on my PC than Vista ever did [17:02] tofu// are you using broadcom?? :) [17:02] juniecho, Yes I am using a Broadcom Wifi Card [17:02] nvidia? [17:02] Rob, use the option to "check cd for defects" at the first boot screen [17:02] will it mess up my compiz fusion? [17:03] i had a terrible experience with broadcom wifi card, you need to first update the kernel and use fwcutter. [17:03] Everyone should have a copy of Ubuntu [17:03] Rob, frequently you will have to burn the CD at the slowest possible speed to ensure that it burns accurately [17:03] I can't believe my HP All in One printer worked perfectly out of the box with Ubuntu [17:03] tofu// well your first step is to update the kernel, yeah, and use synaptic to install fwcutter [17:03] scarface: i did the lowest speed possible in the options [17:03] tofu: yeah i've got a game that stopped working well when i upgraded to vista, but works fine in wine in ubuntu [17:04] tofu//when you install that thing, it will probably ask you to download some firmware i suppose, [17:04] Guys, what about e1000e kernel bug fix, is it included in kubuntu 8.10 ? [17:04] dug_, Vista is broken MS wont inform the people [17:04] Guest87319: yes [17:04] will upgrading to 8.10 messup my compis-fusion since i use the nvidia driver? [17:04] JInTheOffice: It is a bit of a risk... Sometimes software/updates have bugs in them and they cannot ALWAYS be avoided... you can look at the updates, check the forums, ask in IRC, there really isn't an answer to your question im afraid [17:04] tofu please don't be silly [17:04] tofu//install all of those and you'll get your wifi running, with restricted driver set [17:04] Rob, try the "check cd for defects" then to confirm if it burned ok. You may also want to try another brand of CD, or install from USB. [17:04] When your Vista Comp takes 2 hours to boot something is wrong [17:05] tofu: would you stop the offtopic about vista anytime soon? [17:05] tofu: go to #ubuntu-offtopic [17:05] and can someone please teach me about disabling touchscreen? :) [17:05] tofu: or ##windows [17:05] Scarface: cheers [17:05] will upgrading to 8.10 messup my compis-fusion since i use the nvidia driver? [17:05] titon do you use teh driver from nvidai.com ? [17:05] nvidia.com [17:05] i think i leave ubuntu every release is slower than the prevoius one i might think of other distro or return to windows [17:05] nop i used envys [17:06] Tundrayeti312, thanks [17:06] i installed -rc upgraded to latest .. and i don't see theme anymore ?? [17:06] amro85: good for you [17:06] Dell and HP are selling mini notebook pc's with Linux on them [17:06] ikonia, i use the once that was installed with envy [17:06] for under $400.00 [17:06] bye guys nice to c u all i had fun with linux but now i am bored of slugish os i get [17:06] i usually take note with my stylus pen, with my palm on the screen, and every time it behaves unexpectedly because of palm pressure, so how should i disable this touchscreen? [17:06] What problem might this suggest? kernel: [15461.803795] lockd: server 192.168.6.200 not responding [17:06] bye all [17:06] in hardy both xchat and xchat-gnome freeze when i select Network>channel list in xchat-gnome and Server>Channels in xchat. i have to restart xchat. wasn't doing this earlier this morning. anyone else seeing this? [17:06] thank you [17:06] Good morning. Wondering if anybody has tried hooking up small lcd monitors/photoframes (3-5") to ubuntu os. [17:06] titon that could cause you problem [17:06] hello :> i just did a fresh install of intrepid, but now when i try to activate nvidia drivers in the control panel, nothing happens :< [17:07] JuJuBee, I have an nfs mount on your fstab ? [17:07] h god [17:07] ikonia, yea i read about some people having problems with that [17:07] intrepid was released in this state? ;) [17:07] prower: Have you read the release notes? http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/releasenotes/810#nVidia%20%22legacy%22%20video%20support [17:07] Got a suggestion for the web site... [17:07] pure breakage.. oh well.. [17:07] Is this for Ubuntu 8.10? [17:07] joaopinto : what do you mean? [17:07] ikonia, i guess i'll wait until there are some supported drivers out there [17:07] legend2440: you sure it's freezing might just be grabbing the channel list which is mighty big [17:07] chillout25m: this? [17:07] chillout25m: yes [17:08] titon the drivers in intrepid may well be support for your card, however the reason you may have problem is you have chose to use unsupported drivers [17:08] Tundrayeti312, that makes me wonder about the usefulness of the updater applet. I suppose I could treat it as simply notification that I ought to /j #ubuntu today and find out what's up with the lastest changes, if the update involves anything critical (like the kernel, for example) [17:08] http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/downloadmirrors#bt - you have the download links for BitTorrent coming off releases.ubuntu.com, which is getting hit hard; you should change them to torrent.ubuntu.com. [17:08] JuJuBee, lockd is usually needed for locking remote mounts, like an nfs or samba service [17:08] before install 8.10, i create a new partition with my remain free space on hard disk and set mout point at usr/local, how do i unmount it and mount it as a drive ? [17:08] Pico: My hardware should support the 177 drivers? [17:08] (Geforce 8800) [17:08] Ok I do have an nfs mount on my clients (/home from server), but the clients are hanging and cannot do anything and I cant figure out what the problem is. [17:09] Pici / atlef: Hi, is there any workaroung to fix the webcam problem for Skype and Gyachi in Ubuntu 8.10? [17:09] heck? no 3d acceleration with my geforce 6150 in 8.10? [17:09] hi everyone, i'm having a strange trouble... one of the partitions of my hd is like "read-only" ... i can create or paste any files to it ... i just can see the files or execute! anyone knows what it could be? [17:09] kitche: yes its freezing and i have to restart. it shows the list of channels in the box but i cant select any and Close doesnt work. i have to Force Quit [17:09] I tryed to install the new ubuntu and i get file error. What is wrong? [17:09] anyone else having text poorly drawing to the screen in gnome-terminal using nvidia 177.80 and compiz? [17:09] ikonia, what driver should i load instead [17:09] before install 8.10, i create a new partition with my remain free space on hard disk and set mout point at usr/local, how do i unmount it and mount it as a drive ? [17:09] JInTheOffice: absolutely, there are also mailing lists you can join, and more detailed change logs that you could check... and of course if everything is working fine for you, and its not a security update, you don't have to update either [17:09] which theme on ubuntu 8.10 is default [17:09] ? [17:09] main repository is down :( [17:10] Technoviking http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/releasenotes/810#nVidia%20%22legacy%22%20video%20support [17:10] leohartx: what is the difference between mounting, and mounting as a drive? [17:10] ok, i got a weird one here, every now and then, ubuntu decides that I'm greek, and when i try to type, it comes out in greek. I don't have the greek language pack installed or anything, suggestions? [17:10] where can I find some tuts on how to configure xchat (autojoins etc...) ? [17:10] how do I change the system language from the command line? [17:10] Phoenix87, google.com ;) [17:10] ok ^^ [17:10] or try the xchat channel [17:10] joaopinto : any ideas on what I can do to determine what the problem is and how to fix? [17:10] Phoenix87: xchat's homepage [17:11] JuJuBee, comment the nfs mounts, and try mounting manually [17:11] Hello, I have problemswith installing 8.10 I burned alternate installation copy to DVD, and installation startups when I reboot my computer, and then after choosing keyboard type, It is supposed to mount CD and it say it can't find any CD.... [17:11] i am not having any problem with new ubuntu but after upgrade, clicking vidoes, documents,.. under places, opens vlc and starts playing the contents of the folder [17:11] atlef: i checked it but i can't find a complete documentation [17:11] leohartx//there is no mounting as a drive in linux, unlike windows [17:11] Phoenix87: http://xchat-win32.berlios.de/setvars.html [17:11] Tundrayeti312, t/y again. That's going to be my approach in future. [17:11] are there other clients similar to mIRC? [17:11] ikonia, how do i see what version of driver that i'm running? [17:11] Phoenix87: kvirc [17:11] joaopinto : not sure I get what you mean? Remove/comment in fstab? How do I let normal users mount it then? [17:11] titon normally in the xorg log [17:11] Phoenix87, xchat [17:11] Phoenix87: have you tried pidgin? [17:11] JInTheOffice: np, best of luck :) [17:12] Hi, is it possible to tell Ubuntu alternate installer to create other encrypted LVM partitions than the defaults? It's creating one big /root and a /swap [17:12] yep [17:12] Hey guys :) An odd issue here, i have a PC i use as a remote server, and when i login locally, i can use all of my devices fine. However, when logging in remotely, unless i have already logged into the local pc, i cannot access my USB storage drive [17:12] JuJuBee, the idea is to mount manually just now, to debug the problem, not to leave it like that ;) [17:12] and gaim as well [17:12] danbd_intrepid: ah, i mean first , unmount it, then let linux mount it like another ntfs drive [17:12] l8r all [17:12] Phoenix87: pidgin === gaim [17:12] but i think i'd prefer something specialized [17:12] so now ibex is officially released, eh? [17:12] I got cannot mount CD-ROM in stupid alternate installation of 8.10!¨!!!!! [17:12] Hello, I have problemswith installing 8.10 I burned alternate installation copy to DVD, and installation startups when I reboot my computer, and then after choosing keyboard type, It is supposed to mount CD and it say it can't find any CD.... [17:12] something as customizable as mirc [17:13] ikonia, II) NVIDIA GLX Module 96.43.05 [17:13] you forget thats windows based [17:13] leohartx//when you mount a partition, it would not have a drive letter like windows, instead, linux treats the partition as some folder when it is mounted, or are you having trouble mounting a partition? [17:13] Phoenix87: kvirc [17:13] Phoenix87, Kvirc [17:13] joaopinto : so I should ssh to one of my students computers, unmount it and remount it to see if that fixes things? [17:13] Phoenix87: xchat [17:13] atlef: thanks, i'm gonna have a look for kvirc [17:13] went to bed, it will def be out tomorrow ! [17:13] markrian: i'm on xchat now :) [17:13] having a problem logging in on intrepid after clean install, goes through the gdm login and then appears to simply sit and wait with no disk reads and very low cpu utilisation- any ideas? [17:13] phoenix87 : try Xchat, very similar to Mirc [17:13] Hi, is there any workaroung to fix the webcam problem for Skype and Gyachi in Ubuntu 8.10? [17:14] nevermind then ;o [17:14] Hi, is there any workaround to fix the webcam problem for Skype and Gyachi in Ubuntu 8.10? [17:14] Hey guys :) An odd issue here, i have a PC i use as a remote server, and when i login locally, i can use all of my devices fine. However, when logging in remotely, unless i have already logged into the local pc, i cannot access my USB storage drive, thoughts ? [17:14] juniecho/ is there any way to mount with drive letter ? [17:14] JuJuBee, yes [17:14] leohartx//well, create a folder like c, or d, and mount the partition there, well... that's not a 'drive letter' but hmm... [17:14] JuJuBee, not to see if fixes, but to debug the problem [17:15] ikonia, envy uses legacy drivers? [17:15] joaopinto : ok, trying now... brb [17:15] leohartx//actually, if you mount a partition, it will be displayed on the desktop, so hmm, why stick to drive letters? :) [17:15] Hello. I'm currently using 8.04. How do I upgrade to 8.10? Do I just download it? Won't my documents and other data be erased? Thanks!

[18:06] does that mean i need to download it again :( [18:06] I don't see a flash package in the repo [18:06] jkristheking: in 8.10, I know you just plug it in and it works..... I can't quite remember if xpad360 needed to be compiled for 8.04 [18:06] avarus, that could be an indication of a hard disk problem... who knows heh [18:06] bozza: nah [18:07] you are good if you just update it [18:07] hey [18:07] Ax3, no, it's the media [18:07] is it the same ? or can i just do an update ?

[18:07] avarus, damn sorry bud, well best of luck to ya reinstalling [18:07] !final | bozza [18:07] bozza: If you installed a Alpha/Beta/RC version of Ubuntu 8.10 (Intrepid Ibex) and have been keeping it up to date, then you are already running the latest version of Intrepid. To make sure, type « sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade » in a console. [18:07] teamcobra, ok so i need an existing install then? [18:07] Ax3, will work...the drive is new :) [18:07] There seems to be a problem with GNOME-PPP. Whatever I put in the init strings box, it erases it. Any ideas? [18:08] han: yeah, and let me know if it works, because I got it to work once... and never again [18:08] i'm thinking of getting a wii, would the remotes work with ubuntu by any chance? [18:08] I just installed 8.10, how come does the "documents", "pictures", "video"-links at the Places menu start audicious instead of opening the correct folders? [18:08] guys, i DL-ed the Ibex iso, could anyone tell me how to mount the image into a directory for update? i don't want to burn it just yet. [18:08] ok thanks grizzancs :D [18:08] alright i'm confused there is so much data on installing flash plugin for ubuntu-amd64 that I don't know which method to use... can anyone tell me what the preferred method is? [18:08] np :) [18:08] teamcobra, ok, i will, going to load it on my acer aspire one [18:08] i meant the controllers like the guitar, gun, etc [18:08] avarus, haha i've been in this business long enough to know that even 'new' drives aren't not susceptible to failure ;P [18:08] grizzancs: probably have to press esc +number [18:08] i love how in 8.10 it finds my phone without a problem and it lets me connect to the internet [18:08] Ax3, well, but it's not broken and I'm into this business as well :) [18:08] i'm having some issues with networkmanager & knetwork managers. my computer won't start up unless my linksys pci card is inserted. boot up stalls while loading avahi & networkmanager dispatcher. can anyone clue me in on some ideas?? [18:09] avarus, :-) [18:09] Ax3, it's simply the damaged file I downloaded [18:09] hey i'm trying to watch BBC broadcasting, but everything i select only gives me audio [18:09] md5 proves it [18:09] kitche: hm, that works. thanks [18:09] man the ubuntu channels must be so bloody busy these days :P [18:09] bozza: softphone? [18:09] no N95 through 3G [18:09] bozza: ah [18:09] its a nokia [18:09] can i upgrader my hardy server to ibex without reinstalling via cd? [18:09] !flash [18:09] To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash (a recent version for !Dapper is available in !backports) - See also !Restricted and !Gnash [18:09] my computer stays broken enough to keep this channel busy [18:09] bozza: that's why I upgrade from the cdrom that I get from bit torrent [18:09] i had so many problems connecting my N95 in 8.04 [18:10] bozza: I wonder how well a iPhone would work ;) [18:10] whats the IM client that was added in 8.10? [18:10] xnv: its different for amd64 [18:10] hahaha yea same .. give it a go [18:10] Hello. I've just tried til install Intrepid on my macbook. Unfortunately it does not boot. The Apple BIOS does not seem to recognize the Intrepid partiotion as bootable [18:10] joshual: I'm on x86 [18:10] jeruvy . maybe it works ? [18:11] ok, but I asked about amd64 ... [18:11] bozza: I'll try it and giggle I'm sure. [18:11] joshual: I wasn't answering your question. [18:11] hello all. I am using ubuntu-server and I put into /etc/rc.local this command: csh -cf '/command/svscanboot &' but when I reboot, it doesn't start. Can someone tell me what I am doing wrong? [18:11] Hey. [18:11] hey everyone...quick and easy question guys. I'm currently on openSUSE 11.1 beta 3, but I don't like the package manager/YaST. Does Kubuntu 8.10 use KDE 4.1.2 or have the latest version of KDE 4.x.x installed? [18:11] the only thing not working for me is my master volume at the moment XD .... will get support when the irc is less busy [18:11] oh sorry xnv [18:11] bozza, it won't [18:11] haha [18:11] bozza, this channel is ALWAYS busy [18:11] The nifty Flash animation on ubuntu.com mentions 8.10 being able to run off USB keys, but it doesn't seem to be mentioned anywhere else on the site. [18:11] haha fair enough [18:12] speaking of the upgrade cd, any one know why it crashes after "setting up the new software channels? [18:12] How do you do that? [18:12] which is the best way to upgrade? update-manager or alternate cd? [18:12] how do i add dictionaries to stardict????? [18:12] ciao [18:12] jpt9: install ubuntu, the tool is under administration [18:12] hi [18:12] ah. [18:12] !list [18:12] 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 [18:12] i really wonder now if 8.10 will recognize the iphone and connect through 3G .. a reason to laugh at all the apple fan boys if linux can connect :D [18:12] I figured it'd just work like one of those LiveCDs that happens to have a USB version. [18:12] Can you do it from the LiveCD? [18:12] cousteau: I have always found getting the alt cd via bit torrent [18:13] isaacj87 - in my experience, ubuntu comes with gnome installed, but you can install kde from the repos. The repos usually keep the latest stable release and not the unstable one. [18:13] cousteau: and mounting the ISO [18:13] eross: kubuntu is available with kde preinstalled [18:13] so anyone got an iphone ? [18:13] ok, thanks [18:13] bozza: nokia n810 ;) [18:13] cousteau but today it seems to keep crashing on me [18:13] i don't like kde [18:13] gyven - true, forgot about the flavors [18:13] never have.. its not smooth or nice [18:13] teamcobra: i hear thats a nice phone :) [18:14] just my opinion [18:14] maybe i'll md5sum it before installing === TappiSwiss is now known as Jartsa [18:14] leq-u-tix: you should try it again. It's come a long way. KDE 4.2 should be pretty nice [18:14] you should :) [18:14] that's a good idea [18:14] teamcobra does your phone work with 8.10 and internet [18:14] cousteau, I just wasted 10 mins for finding out the md5 sum doesn't match :P [18:14] i'm running xfce on my gaming rig [18:14] yea i tried 8.10 rc kubuntu [18:14] Hey is there something I can install for better power management on ubuntu? [18:14] oh... [18:14] just seems so klunky [18:15] bozza: does everything except "phone" stuff... so no ;p ;p [18:15] well, sometimes I burned a liveCD with a wrong ISO and couldn't install it [18:15] haha [18:15] andromeda51 [18:15] how long does it take to erase a dvd rw in brasero? [18:15] can anyone tell me how to mount an iso image? [18:15] hey, i thought that flash and pulseaudio WAS fixed ?? [18:15] hello all. I am using ubuntu-server and I put into /etc/rc.local this command: csh -cf '/command/svscanboot &' but when I reboot, it doesn't start. Can someone tell me what I am doing wrong? [18:15] (in intrepid) [18:15] darkvertex, mount -o loop [18:16] w0ls0n, make sure you add it before the exit 0 [18:16] darkvertex mount -o loop -t iso9660 imagename.iso mountpoint [18:16] ahhh [18:16] darkvertex: sudo mount -o loop image.iso /dev/disk [18:16] i've got strange problem related to kde guidance power manager [18:16] leq-u-tix: Yeah, Kubuntu doesn't have tight KDE 4.x.x integration. openSUSE handles it a little better [18:16] acpi is working 100% fine [18:16] how long does it take to erase a dvd rw in brasero? [18:16] are the ATI restricted drivers in ibex suppose to be better? they feel slower.. also, does the default open driver support compiz well? if so, i would consider that. [18:16] (first create the mountpoint) [18:16] happy ubuntu 8.10 [18:17] avarus, costeau, leq-u-tix: thanks guys [18:17] hi everybody [18:17] whats the IM client that was added in 8.10? [18:17] hello [18:17] HI [18:17] Hey Thx1 [18:17] i have nero linux :D [18:17] it doesn't detect AC supply state correctly [18:17] download nero linux [18:17] flipwich: why dont you install it and find out????

[18:17] bozza, what a waste of money [18:17] cousteau: you need the alt cd not the live one to upgrade [18:17] NeroLinux is way better than brasserio [18:17] flipwich, empathy [18:17] oh, thanks [18:18] flipwich: sweet what did you FIND? === Justme is now known as Guest42875 [18:18] leq-u-tix: sure [18:18] Anveo_: a newwork upgrade [18:18] hi, i need to know if i m using the wireless driver iwl3945 , what is the command to check that out?

[18:27] hey guys, did an upgrade to 8.10 and cannot get the binary drivers installed. When I try to activate them it says my xorg.conf is invalid. Yet I've deleted it and used the failsafe. [18:27] leq-u-tix -- ubuntu 8.10-RC has no problem installing, but ubuntu 8.10 kicks me into initramdisk/busybox prompt [18:27] jerbear: i always just re-install :) [18:27] whenever i try to resize an ntfs partition on a laptop (1 hdd) i get errors, is there a proper way to resize an ntfs partition using gparted? [18:27] Guest42875: I have a slightly smaller (1680x1050) Acer and it's been great to me [18:28] reasonably priced, as well. [18:28] jerbear→ the release notes contains everything you need to be aware of [18:28] linuxkrn: afaik you don't need a xorg.conf at all [18:28] DrNick1: ditto, but i wish i didn't have to [18:28] all i can say about the ubuntu 8.10 upgrade is *OUCH* [18:28] I have my /home on a seperate partition (seperate drive actually), so none of my documents + settings get lost. always have a backup tho... === Mafioso_d is now known as Linus_Trovalds [18:28] magnetron: can you point me to the release notes? [18:28] ciscbrain, the binary driver tool won't let me install the drivers though [18:28] DrNick1: yeh, same here.. separate home drive [18:28] :D [18:29] there must be something wrong with the uploaded amd64 iso...no matter where I download it, it has a different md5 :/ [18:29] anyone else stuck at "waiting for headers"?

[18:29] DrNick1, thanks for the hint...will try it from there [18:29] hate to ask again folks but both people that were helping me left -- i have a package that i compiled from source that i need to remove -- if i go through the install_manifest.txt and remove the files listed - -will that uninstall it? [18:29] phoochka→ that happens if you use the main repos. use a mirror instead [18:30] Mimi, no, from some mirror [18:30] mine thats going out is an acer... I haste it [18:30] :D [18:30] W8TAH: if you still have the sources you can try make uninstall [18:30] magnetron, ok thanks [18:30] hate [18:30] ahh - cool idea -- ok [18:30] W8TAH: That's how you have to install compiled software, yes, by just removing all of the files (either manually, or make uninstall) [18:30] W8TAH, I believe you type make uninstall in the original sources. [18:30] hi how can I update to the 8.10 from the terminal [18:30] thx [18:30] !upgrade > anita_ [18:30] anita_, please see my private message [18:30] Flannel, Mimi thank you [18:30] anita_, do-release-upgrade [18:31] !upgrade | anita_ [18:31] anita_: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes [18:31] how is the multi display support in the admin tools? does that actually work in ibex? [18:31] hello [18:31] avarus, could you try using the torrent like this: tell the torrent to download to the folder where you ISO is at. the torrent will see what you have, and what is on the server, and will adjust your ISO to the new md5 [18:31] I have the mouse set to "left handed", but after upgrating to intrepid, if remove it an then plug it back it becomes right-handed. any clues? [18:31] i am having problems upgrading to Ubuntu 8.10. it can't find kernel packages [18:31] hey whats like the percentage of ubuntu users compared to windows and mac [18:31] my monitor is going out... Any suggestions for a 1920x1440 on the cheep? [18:31] seems that the upgrade of ubuntu 8.04 to 8.10 essentially disabled my computer. it happened after I rebooted and told it to use the nvidia drivers. editing the /etc/Xorg/xorg.conf file to use the standard nv driver doesn't resolve the issue. I understand that Xorg made some changes that were supposed to only affect early versions of the nvidia chipsets. This one is affecting my 8800GTS (512mb) cards. [18:31] Mimi, hey, that's a brilliant idea :) [18:32] jerbear→ yes, unless you use the nvidia restricted drivers. in that case, use the nvidia config tool instead [18:32] avarus, yes it is! Hope it works :P [18:32] let's see :P [18:32] bozza: probably like 1-2% vs 88% windows vs. ~8% mac [18:32] are torrents overloaded? [18:32] magnetron: i do, every time i've used that config tool, it seems to mess my xorg.conf file up more [18:32] any help with system halt while loading avahi & network managers at boot up? my system will only complete boot if the linksys pci card is inserted [18:33] thx joapinto [18:33] ok . damm . ubuntu with compiz and what not is easily the best [18:33] and cia === Linus_Trovalds is now known as Linux_Man [18:33] boo compiz [18:33] How can I run a script of gnome shutdown [18:33] i need girl friend,why i don't have girl friend? [18:34] why boo ? [18:34] I need to stop azureus correctly [18:34] linuxkrn: try to reconfigure xorg; sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [18:34] Linux_Man: linus torvalds has a girlfriend [18:34] :D [18:34] ciscbrain, did that already [18:34] compiz is awesome . why u not like it ? [18:34] Linux_Man: I recommend Emacs' psychiatrist. [18:34] ciscbrain, still same error [18:34] sahak: really? haha [18:34] compiz is just plain unnecessary [18:34] he has a wife and a baby.. well probably is a teenager now :P [18:34] sahak→ Linux_Man he has a wife, even [18:34] ciscbrain, and I've restarted gdm (between tries) [18:34] lol [18:35] jerbear . but its awesome :D [18:35] linuxkrn: I know it sounds lame, but try a restart :) [18:35] its so convinent [18:35] switching from different desktops [18:35] bozza: i have some weird bug with compiz. can you open firefox in fullscreen mode (by pressing F11). and then open a terminal. then try to switch between them by pressing Ctrl+Tab. do you get weird flashes? [18:35] bozza: i won't deny that it's awesome looking, but that's it, it's cosmetic [18:35] maybe you've just installed a new kernel and the instaleer is confused about which modules to build [18:35] Mimi, it downloads from the beginning, but good idea :) [18:35] bozza: Alt+Tab instead of Ctrl+Tab [18:35] he's trying to imply that if you use linux you are socially ill-equipped. An old argument that they use to use against anyone that even touched a computer. fortunately though the average linux user has their spouse or significant other. I think he's a troll. [18:35] saha 1 sec let me check [18:36] jerbear: not quite, I get a lot of tearing without it [18:36] hi .... can any of the advanced user answer few simple question ? 1. what is the max ram running i386 ? 2. Does wine support multicore processing ? [18:36] jerbear: especially on my eee [18:36] sahak: play with the advanced desktop effects settings for your switchers in the window manager.. mabey one of the settings for the cube or ring switcher is incorrect [18:36] jerbear: I'll agree with you for the most part, but I really like the taskbar window jpreview feature [18:36] ciscbrain: tearing? you've got something configured incorrectly then [18:36] jerbear: no, it's just that the eee is slow [18:36] how to delete or resize a partition using ubuntu? [18:37] sfears: i don't have those things enabled [18:37] r31lc: 4 gigs minus those complents using upper memory address for hardware (such as your video cards) [18:37] mirash - gparted [18:37] can anyone tell me how to remove the 'connection' icon on the panel? [18:37] how? [18:37] install ubuntu on 16MB? [18:37] ciscbrain: and you think using compiz improves its speed? [18:37] components* [18:37] system/preferences/advanced desktop effects... when that window opens click on advanced.. see what plugin uses the alt+tab command and play with the settings in that plugin [18:37] jerbear: I was just as surprised as you seem to be, but yes [18:37] nope no weird flashes for me [18:37] hi, i am looking for a program like winsplit revolution for ubuntu, so i can resize my windows based on hotkeys - does such a program exist? [18:37] any help with system halt while loading avahi & network managers at boot up? my system will only complete boot if the linksys pci card is inserted [18:37] in command line? [18:37] r31lc: but you also have limits of the chipsets used by the manufacturer [18:37] ericjung: 10mb of what? ram, hdd? [18:37] mikebeecham: did you try right-clicking and "Remove from Panel..." ? [18:37] ericjung: 16mb [18:37] also i use super+tab to switch between windows . and thats fine as well [18:37] DIFH-iceroot ram [18:38] mongolai: does not include that option [18:38] jerbear: and even on my desktop, if I drag the chat windows over firefox, for example, you can still see parts of firefox redrawing [18:38] it's my wired network icon [18:38] both md5 comparisons failed... very suprising [18:38] ericjung: maybe DSL is better for you [18:38] jerbear: but with compiz you don't get that [18:38] Anyone know an ubuntu mirror that ISNT slammed? [18:38] bpgoldsb: torrents [18:38] how to resize a partition? [18:38] sfears: For aptitude updates, not for full release [18:38] mirash: which type? [18:38] sorry there is a problem is says "an unresolvable problem occurred while calculating the upgrade" [18:38] ciscbrain: i've never seen that with any of my machines.. from the slowest to the fastest.. i think you have something wrong with your configuration [18:39] i'm getting 600kb/s from my mirror. i'm using ussg.iu.org [18:39] Ax3, here, too...I'm now downloading from oxford :) [18:39] Anybody know of a tool to prevent idle timeout? On Windows I have this little program called Caffeine that simulates a shift key release once a minute to prevent screensavers, etc. [18:39] avarus, yea wtf is going on lol [18:39] mikebeecham: that's odd, I got rid of mine that way. Perhaps try some arcane gconf-editor setting?! [18:39] highloaded servers :) [18:39] ark3qqq: on linux you can just disable DPMS [18:39] http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/hardy-updates/main/installer-i386/current/images/netboot/netboot.tar.gz <-- I'm searching that file for intrepid, cannot find id [18:39] Use the bit torrent if you can [18:39] ark3qqq: and all other power managment features [18:39] has anyone played around with installing ubuntu intrepid ibex on the sony vaio vgn fw140e/w? i can't seem to get the graphics drivers or wireless to work [18:39] ark3qqq: you could make a cron job [18:40] jacekowski: I'm looking for something that will simulate a keypress or twiddle the mouse slightly so that other stuff doesn't time out. [18:40] #cross-lfs [18:40] jerbear: try to load youtube on firefox and then drag gcalctool over it, and you'll see some white bands next to the calc window [18:40] sanguisdex: A cron job to do what? [18:40] just made a live usb and grub gives an error, what can i do? [18:40] bozza: was your firefox in full screen? can you press alt+tab, select firefox, and then hold the Alt button pressed [18:40] press shift [18:40] i hav a FAR32 partion. I want to delete it and make a ext3 from half of it and a fat32 from the other half [18:40] oh my god! why is everything on Ubuntu so blocky? I can't run anything from windows that I love/need, like skype, windows live mail, and iTunes!!!!! [18:40] sanguisdex: How do I do that? [18:40] how? [18:40] ciscbrain: i don't [18:40] avarus, any luck with the md5sum ? [18:41] oh my god! why is everything on Ubuntu so blocky? I can't run anything from windows that I love/need, like skype, windows live mail, and iTunes!!!!! [18:41] I heard that USB stick installs are officially supported in Ibex. Where can I go to read more about this, in particular how to convert an ISO into a USB install? [18:41] Lancelot_: Linux (ubuntu) is not windows [18:41] i know [18:41] s/FAR/FAT [18:41] nope...no option to remove it that I can see [18:41] i realised that... [18:41] !lnw > Lancelot_ [18:41] Lancelot_, please see my private message [18:41] Lancelot_: okay...good start [18:41] we could compare md5's here [18:41] !skype | Lancelot_ [18:41] Lancelot_: To install Skype on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Skype - To record on Skype, check: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SkypeRecordingHowto [18:41] torrents seem to have saturated. the number of leechers is going down. [18:41] ubuntu intrepid on sony vaio vgn fw140e/w? anyone? [18:41] * trimeta leaches the torrents [18:41] the 64bit torrent is running well for me [18:42] Mimi, not yet...still downloading :) [18:42] I got the alt cd in 13 mins [18:42] Mimi, I'll let you know [18:42] hey [18:42] At least if you consider a 15 kb/s upload, 245 kb/s download a leach... [18:42] via comcast [18:42] I see twice as many seeds as peers, currently maxing my d/l [18:42] i just don't like that I can't run any of the programs that I want anymore... [18:42] Can anyone suggest a way to simulate a benign keypress or twiddle the mouse slightly? [18:42] Anyway, anyone know how to put the ISO on a USB stick so it'll boot and have a persistent home directory and all that stuff? [18:42] Lancelot_: maybe you would prefer windows then? [18:42] ark3qqq, like a macro? [18:42] ark3qqq: what are you trying to prevent? [18:42] heh, I'm currently leeching a BT ibex, and it is going s l o w. That's ok, though... [18:43] !offtopic [18:43] what repos should I add into Synaptic? [18:43] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [18:43] anyone know if there is a cutting edge wine repository for ubuntu? [18:43] I cant seem to find the MD% hash for cheking intrepids integrity? [18:43] ogsc: Primarily it's for Citrix, but it's handy in other cases too. [18:43] how can i see what is my socket of my processor? [18:43] BT was crawling for me too at first, has picked up greatly since [18:43] **MD5 [18:43] have to reboot into ubuntu 8.10 [18:43] bye [18:43] trimeta: you don't put the iso on a usb stick but yuo can get a live system on one... search the wiki, I think there was a page there describing how [18:43] csilk, http://torrent.ubuntu.com:6969/ <-- ha! [18:43] :) [18:43] sigh [18:43] joshual: yes at wine hq [18:43] add jack the repo :D [18:43] joshual: wine has it own repo [18:43] ogsc: To clarify, I want to avoid the Citrix session timing out. [18:43] sorry, i just needed to vent... [18:43] avarus: that's the one [18:43] Dillizar: cat /proc/cpuinfo, maybe? [18:43] hi, the colour balance controls in my totem don't work... i googled to see if it was a known issue but i didn't find anything. Any ideas? [18:44] psusi: I heard that there was something more official about USB installs in this version... [18:44] is there like a good all around all software type repo to add? === alberto is now known as Guest91356 [18:44] damn, I shouldn't have mentioned oxford :P [18:44] thanks avarus . Any idea if there is a good way to check the integrity of an iso burned to disk or is that unrealistic? [18:44] now it's frecking slow [18:44] geez i guess no one here has tried to install intrepid on a sony vaio vgn fw140e/w then [18:44] csilk, check the file, should be enough [18:44] csilk, you can boot from the cd and check it that way [18:44] How do i change the order items in my session autoload start? [18:45] trimeta: not that I know of... I just know that you don't just drop the iso image on one [18:45] ark3qqq: you could try something like: http://www.sandklef.com/xnee/ [18:45] devilbones, might read topic and notice thats offtopic here [18:45] thx jerbear, sanguisdex [18:45] csilk: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM#MD5SUM%20on%20CD [18:45] Can we take the torrent speed conversations to a different channel, like #ubuntu-release-party or #ubuntu-offtopic . Thanks. [18:45] How do I debug a kernel panic when running ubuntu? [18:45] psusi: Oh, of course not. [18:45] trimeta: nope it doesnt show the socket [18:45] csilk: The Ubuntu CDs have a built in integrity test mode. [18:45] Hey everyone! I'm trying to solve a problem. I'm trying to get Audio/Video working between my mother (ubuntu) and her sister(windows). What are my options, and are there any guides out there? I tried using skype, but skype doesn't recognize my moms webcam, I attempted using ekiga and qutecom, but I'm inexperienced with sip so don't know how to get it working properly. [18:45] Any hints? [18:45] http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/hardy-updates/main/installer-i386/current/images/netboot/netboot.tar.gz <-- I'm searching that file for intrepid, cannot find id [18:45] what channel should i go to then? [18:45] psusi: I was wondering if there were some "official" way of converting the contents of the ISO into a format that would boot properly. [18:45] -offtopic [18:45] can't be! it's always the same wrong md5 :/ [18:46] or the release # in topic [18:46] Ax3, f9cdb7e9ad85263dde17f8fc81a6305b ubuntu-8.10-desktop-amd64.iso [18:46] please compare [18:46] jerbear: That could work. Thanks! I'm surprised there isn't a more targeted solution, though. [18:46] Dillizar: If you know what processor you have, you could check the Wikipedia for its socket, maybe... [18:46] lordyk, thats a pretty basic and error prone way [18:46] tonyyarusso, sanguisdex thanks [18:46] gotiniens: Should be in http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/intrepid/main/installer-i386/current/images/netboot/ [18:46] ark3qqq: targeted solution? how many times do you need to do such a thing? [18:46] What is gnome keywrapper? [18:46] hi all! problems with totem when playing a video: the colour balance controls in my totem don't work... i googled to see if it was a known issue but i didn't find anything. Any ideas? [18:47] well the check cd option on boot up has worked well for me in the past [18:47] avarus, that's what I got, before I deleted it [18:47] anyone else having problems reconfiguring vmware for 8.10? [18:47] How do i change the order items in my session autoload start? [18:47] jerbear: On windows there's this little app called Caffeine that simulates a shift release every minute. Very handy just for this purpose. [18:47] avarus, but that's NOT what the md5sum page indicates [18:47] !8.10 [18:47] Ubuntu 8.10 (Intrepid Ibex) is the current release of Ubuntu.

[18:47] Serraphyn: Correct. [18:47] ark3qqq: yes, and you can write your own app with xnee, or anything else that you can think of [18:47] Serraphyn, yes it is! [18:48] Ah sweet [18:48] I just upgraded [18:48] vmware anyone?? [18:48] jerbear: Yep, as I said, that should work. Thanks much. [18:48] !isitout [18:48] Yes its out! [18:48] sanguisdex, and that iso works? on the torrentpage is a different md5 :) [18:48] hi all [18:48] pwnedulongtime, might ask in #vmware [18:48] avarus: nope [18:48] ark3qqq: you can even package it and call it xcaffeine :) [18:48] Hi guys; just upgraded my other pc to Intrepid, but it doesn't like the driver I was using for my graphics card so is refusing to display anything. When I launch it with the internal driver then I can't see any option to install a new one for the ATI graphics card, so how can I get it working? [18:48] it dies [18:48] issue is that I cant find the network manager [18:48] does anyone know of a program i can run from a live cd session to remove spyware from a non running windows machine? === Mag5H is now known as Medol [18:48] but I could not find the ISO's listed anywhere [18:48] sanguisdex, I/O error at 60%?

[18:55] apt-p2p is cool :) [18:55] pwnedulongtime: but 6.5 worked fine without any changes [18:55] Mattl, the usb installation is not based on the hd install, it requires the cdrom, that is the base image [18:55] about time they integrated upgrades into a p2p system :) [18:55] joaopinto: no problem, my english's good enough, and i'm not here to ask any support question, i'm here to help === pyro_ is now known as Pyrophelia [18:55] i-unknown, great :) [18:55] joaopinto: thansk. [18:55] i-unknown, hehehe he wans't trying to be mean, he just replied, and said that we don't allow any non english languages in this channel, we got other channels for other languages, including portuguese #ubuntu-pt (which I always forget to go to even though im portuguese too >_< ) [18:56] avarus, I redownloaded it, and it's giving me the same md5sum [18:56] shall I proceed? [18:56] Why isn't the upgrade working? anyone else having issues? [18:56] hehe [18:56] Ax3, no :) [18:56] Ax3, I finished for today :) [18:56] I'll try it tomorrow [18:56] pyro_, how easy was it to configure? I took one look at a how-to the other day and wilted [18:56] this time it was via p2p and not http [18:56] :S [18:56] oww [18:56] Mimi: not happening again :) [18:56] Cochese: the server are probably BUSY.. wait a couple of days. [18:56] man...I just started the torrent:(/ [18:56] man... flock integrates with linux better then firefox [18:56] I upgraded to 8.10, but i cant see NetworkManagers GUI anymore. in terminal, the log looks fine [18:56] Ax3, ah, just give it a try and tell me :P [18:57] andycas, I have the same issue [18:57] Izinucs, thanks. Has anyone else got it to upgrade? [18:57] hmm [18:57] andycas, after /etc/init.d/NetworkManager restart it shows [18:57] im not using a local x86_64 box, only i686, I can't attach to vmware right now [18:57] can any one tell me how to setup my user so i can delete file that keep telling me i do not have permission to delete [18:57] Has anybody used apt-p2p to upgrade to ibex yet? [18:57] the i386 is almost done, so I'll test that in a virtual machine [18:57] Where can I get the ubuntu-server netinstall? [18:57] svh: where is the file? [18:57] Ax3, ya, the x86 could be OK :) [18:58] Anyone know an ubuntu mirror that ISNT slammed? For updating my cache, not for downloading intrepid [18:58] Never understood peoples obession with upgrading the same day something comes out.. to many bugs and issues... [18:58] in trash [18:58] I'm wondering if it's possible to limit the upstream. I'm sending @ 540KBps :x [18:58] 8.10 supports a persitant usb installation, correct? how is this done? [18:58] stimpie: nope, doesnt show after that either [18:58] bpgoldsb: use the torrent? [18:58] Descention: If you find out, tell me how. [18:58] hi, where can i find the keyring from the package ubuntu-keyring to import the key into my personal keyring to verify the images i just downloaded, or is there an easier way? [18:58] Pyrophelia, in Transmission client? [18:58] svh: you'll probably have to use sudo, i'm guessing the files are not owned by you [18:58] Serraphyn, I upgrade _before_ it's released [18:58] ;P [18:58] Raito-: I'm not downloading hte CD, I'm downloading packages for apt. [18:58] mimi: no, apt-p2p it's a p2p version of apt. [18:58] Serraphyn, My obsession is getting modem usage ut of my Nokia E71 at work. Any other questions? [18:58] Ax3, highlight me if it works [18:58] thanks [18:58] dimedo: if you're already running ubuntu, you should have it already (from the previous version), I think [18:59] unless they changed the key [18:59] bpgoldsb: ah. try a non-us mirror then? [18:59] hmz, upgrading gone wrong, 50 minutes "ldconfig deferred processing now taking place" how long should it take normally to upgrade from 8.04 to 8.10? [18:59] in which case, upgrade that installation and you'll have the latest one :) [18:59] bd_, i have hardy, but the key is not in my personal keyring. [18:59] i only had to update one package on my install to have 8.10 :) [18:59] there old file that i created [18:59] maybe someone know from where can i get CanonMF4 drivers? [18:59] Mimi, it's in the ibex repos but not hardy so I used a script I found of the torrentfreak website that explained how to dist upgrade using apt-p2p which works great but I'm wondering if it's possible limit the upstream a tad :) [18:59] !canon [18:59] Sorry, I don't know anything about canon [18:59] HellMind: maybe on cdimage.ubuntu.com but its overloaded afaict [19:00] hello [19:00] z$ md5sum ubuntu-8.10-desktop-i386.iso [19:00] 24ea1163ea6c9f5dae77de8c49ee7c03 ubuntu-8.10-desktop-i386.iso [19:00] md5 doesn't match that either [19:00] dimedo: ahh, dpkg -L ubuntu-keyring will tell you where it is [19:00] testing in a virtual machine now regardless [19:00] Cochese, I did not ask a question, so maybe get off your high horse and figure things out instead of thinking the new shiny nickel will make everything better. [19:01] what is a good torrent client with rss feed support? Transmission doesn't seem to do it [19:01] I'm on fios so it's not like 500KB is a big hit to my ping but it would be nice to figure out where the .conf is. that wasn't explained very well in the torrentfreak blog. [19:01] frank23→ deluge [19:01] stimpie: ah, NetworkManager was having an issue with keyring manager, fixed now [19:01] so nobody here has used apt-p2p yet? :( [19:01] Misterjos hmz, upgrading gone wrong, 50 minutes "ldconfig deferred processing now taking place" how long should it take normally to upgrade from 8.04 to 8.10? <-- you sure its still processing? It keeps saying that, then has "changes applied" in the tops ection of the window. Gets me every time [19:01] magnetron: I'll look into it [19:01] Okay, I installed Ibex and now my mute button doesn't work. [19:01] Serraphyn, try the nickel for 5 cents worth of class. [19:01] frank23→ get it from the repos [19:01] Serraphyn: that's the thing. Linux is still for "new shiny nickel" collectors :-) er, to a point, that is [19:01] magnetron: yep [19:02] i installed 8.10 today and i can't get basic programs to show up in synaptic like i used to be able to when i ran previous versions...i enabled backports and the restricted repositories but i can't get things like flash support or vlc to show up. any ideas? [19:02] Omoikane; remap it in keysettings, when I upgraded to hardy I lost most of my media keys. remapping fixed it [19:02] Silly question but does anyone know what theme this is? HINT: It's not Mac4Lin http://img209.imageshack.us/img209/1/pantallazo10ax2.jpg [19:02] anyone can help me? [19:02] Omoikane, system/pref/keyboard shortcuts [19:02] Hello all, I jumped into ed from command line using Ctrl+Alt+F1, and it's saying ? to everything I do... How do I get out of it? Ctrl+C does nothing except make it ? again... [19:02] Cochese, might take your own advice. I'm not the one with the attitude. But I see your desire to supress someone else overrides your common sense. [19:02] I have a zonet modem with a motorola chipset and after installing it and configuring wvdial, when i try to dial it sends the first INT string successfully then cant find the carrier, what could cause this? [19:02] How hell do I remove orca completely [19:03] hola. hey isn't 8.10 server suppose to be able to do software RAID? I can't find the others in the server install [19:03] lolnoob, sudo apt-get -purge orca [19:03] so [19:03] does ibex include flash plugin 10? [19:03] jerbear: yes [19:03] I know i'm probably the 10000 person to ask this [19:03] also i notice while trying to refresh my list from the server a lot of the servers fail no matter what mirror i choose... are a lot of the servers getting hammered and not working right? [19:03] Pici: thanks [19:03] I can see my sata disk and my ide disk but i cannot isntall ubuntu in ide disk. This disk doesnt appears in partitionating [19:03] Sidtoner1, Yes they are getting hammered [19:03] can you just upgrade with apt-get upgrade? [19:03] is there a way setup the user to get premission to delete files from trash [19:03] ooh what happened to "transparent cube" in compix? :( [19:03] bd_, thx, do you have any idea now how i can use this keyring directly to verify my downloads? or how i can export it's contents to import them into my personal ring? [19:03] mrpockets, Yes dist-upgrade would work [19:03] mrpockets, sudo apt-get -d (after manual source edit) [19:03] Serraphyn, I don't desire to supress anyone. I desire a modem fix for my phone. Pound sand. [19:03] svh: check the ownership of the files in the trash [19:03] Hi. i installed nvidia display driver using envy in 8.04. I just upgraded to 8.10. Do I have to reinstall my display driver?? [19:04] no Raito- it says it only once, there is HD activity, but cpu is not really busy. should i abort it and so a clean install of 8.10? [19:04] thanks guys [19:04] FreshUbuntuNoob: is that why i am not able to install things like vlc and the restricted extras package? ie they don't even show up to install [19:04] could someone tell me what program is running in the console here: http://news.cnet.com/2300-1001_3-6247274-2.html?tag=mncol [19:04] hello I have 8.04 [19:04] Pyrophelia I opened it but I'm having trouble understanding how to adjust it and what to toggle it to. [19:04] looks like top++ [19:04] mrpockets, wait sorry wrong command, it's sudo update-manager -d or sudo apt-get dist-upgrade after a manual source edit [19:04] has anyone else noticed window titlebar corruption in intrepid? [19:04] is it necessary to upgrade to 8.10 from 8.04? [19:04] <_biker_geek_> jtmoney: I think that's midnight commander. [19:04] ubunt2: no [19:04] ubunt2: no [19:04] no ubunt2 [19:05] Cochese, to bad they don't put out some sort of list that tells people what does and doesn't work with linux to allow you to plan purchases and forsee upcoming issues. [19:05] svn: sudo rm -rf ~/.local/share/Trash/files/* [19:05] bartmon, not sure if this is what youre talking about but my themes sometimes flicker from the theme image to white, unless i resize the imagte [19:05] *the window [19:05] Sidtoner1, You won't be able to download packages easily. B/c the servers are too busy [19:05] when i move my mouse pointer over the title of a window the titlebar and buttons become distorted. any ideas on how to solve that? [19:05] Sidtoner1: I have vlc installed, it is in multiverse [19:05] _biker_geek_: thanks [19:05] svh: sudo rm -rf ~/.local/share/Trash/files/* [19:05] Omoikane, unless they've changed it drastically it should be pretty easy. double click the key you want to modify then hit the keyboard key that you want to represent that control. [19:05] it has my name as owner [19:05] anyone know if the hauppage 350 works on hardy? [19:05] dimedo: gpg --import on those .gpg files [19:05] dug_ i have the extra repositories enabled but nothing shows up... do i have to manually add one? [19:06] dulak: dunno test it on ibex [19:06] Sidtoner1: how did you enable them? if you did it on command line remember to sudo apt-get update [19:06] Intrepid didn't like my graphics card drivers. Any way from terminal/using the internal graphics that I can update them? [19:06] Serraphyn, it supposedly does work. It apparently is not working. You apparently don't have a solution. You should probably pound more sand [19:06] dulak: i'm pretty sure all the hauppauge cards work just fine... check mythtv/ivtv documentation though [19:06] jtmoney: thx [19:06] holy bleep. ~720KBps with apt-p2p o.o [19:06] I jumped into ed from command line using Ctrl+Alt+F1, and it's saying ? to everything I do... How do I get out of it? Ctrl+C does nothing except make it ? again... [19:07] Cochese, good luck. Hope your attitude takes you far in life. [19:07] dug_: i did it in synaptic gui by checking the boxes and refreshed but some of the servers are failing to connect [19:07] jimmio: the ed editor? maybe try :q! [19:07] Mimi: My problem is that sometimes the titlebar just goes gray, sometimes just half of it... Usually it is redrawn correctly when i deselect and selet the window again [19:07] or ctrl-z and kill it [19:07] !video editing [19:07] Sorry, I don't know anything about video editing [19:07] oh come on [19:07] jimmio: or try ctrl+z to suspend then kill it later [19:07] jimmio: q is quit in ed [19:07] !final cut [19:08] Sorry, I don't know anything about final cut [19:08] wow [19:08] calc: I upgraded to 6.5 but now I can't load my old guest OS [19:08] disappointing [19:08] Pyrophelia I did it but it's still not working. [19:08] mongolai: That did the trick... I could have sworn Ctrl+C closed it... oh well, thanks [19:08] avarus, installing via a virtual machine now, will let you know what happens [19:08] strAlan: cinellera, kino, avidemux [19:08] jimmio: in ed ctrl-c goes to command mode [19:08] Omoikane: exactly what is the problem? can you not figure out how to map a key or is the key you want to map not responding? [19:08] bartmon, thank you [19:08] Sidtoner1: only thing I can recommend is go to synaptic package manager->settings->repositories->download from->other->select best server to see if there is a faster server [19:08] Ax3, k [19:08] jimmio: ctrl-c followed by q would have quit you out [19:09] hej [19:09] jimmio: it's still running, but suspended. It you type fg it will return to the foreground... [19:09] Omoikane: you should test the keypress with xev to see if you are getting a valid keycode for your mute button [19:09] anyone with problems to partition a ide disk? i cannot see it!!! i see sata and ide but in the partition windows i only see sata!! [19:09] dug_: yeah i am trying that and it pings the servers but doesn't actually change anything... doesn't say what one is responding fastest [19:09] jimmio: unless you kill -15 'ed it [19:09] it makes me feel old that I know how to work ed [19:09] pwnedulongtime: what does it say? [19:10] pwnedulongtime: all of my old guests worked fine for me === E-XtraCt is now known as XtraCt^eSr === XtraCt^eSr is now known as E-XtraCt [19:10] Omoikane, also keep in mind the pulse is a little broken for systems that use more than a 2.1 setup. For example on my 7.1 system mute and volume only modify the front speakers. There is actually a fix for this but I've been too lazy to research it [19:10] dulak: you should be proud. no-one really knows ed anymore [19:10] Any idea how to make ubuntu update a graphics driver from command line? === Mean-Machine_ is now known as Mean-Machine [19:10] NickieFerrante, what card? [19:11] Sidtoner1: also there is a thing called apt-p2p that uses bitorrent for downloading packages, but it seems tricky to configure right, haven't used it myself [19:11] ATI radeon 2400 [19:11] NickieFerrante: are you talking about installing the driver or configuring it? [19:11] dug_: ok i'll look into it thanks [19:11] NickieFerrante: sudo apt-get install fglrx (i think) [19:11] hello [19:11] Updated and forgot to disable my graphics driver first =/ [19:11] NickieFerrante, I have no idea about ati cards :x try this from cli, apt-cache search ati|less [19:12] export http_proxy=127.0.0.1:10000 [19:12] i used that command and i want to chang it back [19:12] how can i? [19:12] NickieFerrante, if you find something that looks promising type sudo apt-get install name_of_package [19:12] Pyrophelia okay here is what I did. I changed my volume up to the mute button to make sure it's not a broken button. It did work. Then I changed my volume up key to mute and it didn't work. So it has to be somewhere in the actual function. [19:12] XshoppyX: unset http_proxy [19:12] thanks [19:13] has any one had a matching checksum from a torrent? [19:13] Omoikane, it's possible it's a bug [19:13] Pyrophelia Really? How do I report it? [19:13] Omoikane, ibex was just came out today so give them a day or 2 to sort out the flux [19:13] has anyone done anything using peap in network manager? [19:13] launchpad I think?

[19:16] E-XtraCt: both are good [19:16] btw, is it possible to install ubuntu from an usb stick? [19:16] E-XtraCt: Ubuntu is SIMPLER to use [19:16] E-XtraCt: either... it's a preference [19:16] jtmoney: my ridiculous uni connection couldnt hurt [19:16] E-XtraCt: strater user? [19:17] nice [19:17] E-XtraCt: either. I'd recommend Ubuntu and then install kubuntu-desktop and you get to use both. You just choose at the login screen whether you want to use GNOME or KDE then [19:17] i'm having a problem with virtualbox personal edition and usb. i keep getting the " Could not load the Host USB Proxy Service (VERR_FILE_NOT_FOUND).

[19:18] define "fake raid" [19:18] jimmio: you can record a terminal session with 'script' [19:18] software RAID [19:18] Sephr: I've got a Hardy Heron server with what I expect you're referring to as "fake RAID," so I expect Ibex supports it as well. [19:18] * sanguisdex jusr redownlaoded the alt ISO and is checking the md5 [19:18] If you mean mdadm and all that stuff, then yes. [19:19] this kind: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FakeRaidHowto [19:19] ubuntu won't recognize my hard disk or dvd-drive. this has gotten even worse with 8.10. there have been some bugs filed on this, but none seems resolved. with 8.04, i could install using wubi and boot after waiting 5 min, now i can't boot at all (just ends up in (initramfs)). can anyone help? [19:19] trimeta: erm... i think you meant aRk4 [19:19] 8.04 has never worked with fake raid for me [19:19] Sephr: Ubuntu has supported software RAID for ages :) [19:19] even the alt installer [19:19] There is release for Intel x64 of Ubuntu 8.10 ? [19:19] SlimeyPete» FAKE raid is different than normal RAID [19:19] jerbear: Anything you know of that acts as the Print Screen button does? [19:19] E-XtraCt: Yes. [19:19] E-XtraCt: yes. [19:19] ubuntu has never worked on fake raid for me [19:19] Sephr 8.04 has never worked with fake raid for me <-- odd, im using it with a software raid-5 array right now [19:19] amd64 = intel x64 [19:20] jimmio: not if you're on a virtual terminal [19:20] oh [19:20] Sephr: Normal RAID is done at the hardware level, and so it doesn't matter what OS you've got. [19:20] yeah, hardware RAID FTW === Mimi is now known as lifestream [19:20] hardware raid FOR TEH EXPENSIVE [19:20] it costs $$$ [19:20] trimeta» I didn't say normal raid [19:20] Sephr: can't you just put your fake-raid controller into seperate-channels mode and then use standard software RAID? [19:20] jimmio: if you're doing through your terminal emulator (xterm, gnome-terminal) then printscreen would work [19:20] Sephr: The point is, I don't have a hardware controller, but I have RAID on my Hardy system. [19:20] Sephr: the installer crashes for me at the last step when it installs grub, which I had to install manually [19:20] So I must have fake RAID. [19:20] yeah, it costs money but it's less headache and performs better [19:21] trimeta» used alternate or normal installer? [19:21] Sephr: Server installer. [19:21] * sanguisdex sill has an unmatching checksum [19:21] Which has a whole mode for setting up software RAID. [19:21] i would never use a software raid.. hardware raid all the way [19:21] can anyone help me force mount an ext3 fs [19:21] does the desktop alternate installer support mostly everything the server one does? [19:21] alkjdfal: force mount? [19:22] yes [19:22] So are we back to #Ubuntu now for Ibex support? [19:22] so any major problems i should know about before i click the upgrade button :P? [19:22] grrr I hate the new networkmanager [19:22] btw, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FakeRaidHowto says fake raid won't work for me [19:22] Sephr, it does not include the server packages on the cd [19:22] alkjdfal: check the fs first: fsck /dev/sdXY [19:22] i try a regular mount command and get an error [19:22] well, I'm upgrading to Ibex atm and joined #ubuntu pre-emptively, if I shuld be in a different channel let me know [19:22] alkjdfal: it either mounts or it doesn't [19:22] Eric2: watch out with your graphics cards [19:22] thanks all [19:22] alkjdfal: what is that error? [19:23] If I have Intel E8400 what is more recommended to install amd64 or intel x86 ? [19:23] joaopinto» so should I use the alternate desktop or the server installer? [19:23] ais523: If they cant/wont answer your questions here yet you can go to #Ubuntu+1 [19:23] Sephr: what do you m ean it says it won't work for you?

[19:43] NorthByNorthWest, yes [19:43] hola [19:43] ya know i really should ask [19:43] NorthByNorthWest, you could create a menu item if wanted I guess [19:43] how do i check what locale my system is set to right now? [19:43] I just configured the wacom based stylus for my toshiba M700 tablet, seems to work ok, but now when I open preferences in Gimp whole X locks up and the caps lock light starts flashing. Cant ctrl alt backspace or anything. Any idea what could cause it? (still running hardy) [19:44] he actualizado a intrepid ibex y me dio un error [19:44] Sephr how could 3 lines take up your whole screen.. do you have like 640x480 resolution or something?

[19:45] I did the update via the Update Manager. It hung on cleaning obsoulete files. but now its asking me to delete all 544 files on my pc. Including Xorg, Xserver, all libs, EVERYTHING. Should I hit clean and it updates them all? or do I press keep? [19:45] Anyone have a guide to upgrade from 7.10 to 8.10? [19:45] which is good [19:45] from console? [19:45] Hentay: avidemux, pitivi, kino [19:45] Gun_Smoke: Thanks. [19:45] !upgrade > r3z [19:45] r3z, please see my private message [19:46] Thanks.

[19:46] ais523, please see my private message [19:46] Hentay: there is kdenlive and some others [19:46] i know that updating the linux kernel will kill third party drivers, but will installing 'linux headers' do the same? [19:46] thanks i'll try [19:46] Hentay: I don't do much editing. Just try them all, pick one you like, and remove the others. Easy to do with APT :) [19:46] how can I repair my menu.list? [19:46] ransom, no [19:47] not_jrib, yes, apt rulez :) [19:47] velko: thank you! [19:47] hm rite was velko [19:47] lol [19:47] How big should I make the partition for Intrepid? I was thinking of giving it 20gb? I have about up to 70gb free that could potentially be devoted to it.

The repository is not updated and the previous index files will be used.GPG error: http://archive.ubuntu.com intrepid Release: The following signatures were invalid: BADSIG 40976EAF437D05B5 Ubuntu Archive Automatic Signing Key ... um... [19:48] well i have vista en ubuntu [19:48] Thayle: Depends how much data you plan on having. You probably won't use more than 20 GB of software, unless you go really crazy with it. [19:48] where can I adjust the screen brightness? [19:48] mynous try running apt-get update again [19:48] Myoukochou rather [19:48] Thayle: how big is your hdd, do you use anything windows specific that would need certain files to be put on that partition? [19:48] Well if it eventually becomes my main OS (which it probably will), I might end up having a lot of stuff [19:48] why can't I upgrade to teh new ubuntu ? I already thought I was missing updates, but Update-Manager isn't saying anything to me, and when I start teh update manager from commandline with -p, it isn't evn coming with teh dist upgrade offer === Exteris` is now known as Exteris [19:49] almostdvs: I have a 320gb hdd. Vista's on it currently [19:49] I did the update via the Update Manager. It hung on cleaning obsoulete files. but now its asking me to delete all 544 files on my pc. Including Xorg, Xserver, all libs, EVERYTHING. Should I hit clean and it updates them all? or do I press keep? [19:49] Niek: update-manager -d [19:49] avarus, it looks good, restarted, virtual machine started right up [19:49] hi [19:49] Thayle: what about mp3 player or anything [19:49] avarus, again this is the i386 .iso i have tested, not amd64.iso [19:49] Ax3, ya, got that :) [19:49] dug_: Yes, that worked :) [19:50] hey guys, has anyone worked with mailx? [19:50] whois nekostar [19:50] almostdvs: I don't have an mp3 player. [19:50] I'm having some trouble with my webcam. on some installations of ubuntu I've been able to get it working. it's a quickcam pro 9000. [19:50] What is the official url to get the dvd version of Intrepid ?!?! [19:50] Ax3, I'm just downloading via transmission...300 mb already... [19:50] Ax3, pray for me :) [19:50] gospodin_horoshi: You'll likely need to define "worked with". [19:50] Thayle: do you plan on getting one? [19:50] now there is just test colors, and white fuzz [19:51] almostdvs: Probably [19:51] I'm leeching it with 1.2Mbyte/sec [19:51] a test pattern [19:51] Hey! My friend's band, Circumstance, just released a free album called Breakfast Champion.

[19:53] reiki_ if that starts happening turn off joins/parts [19:53] amerinese: what arch? [19:53] I did the update via the Update Manager. It hung on cleaning obsolete files. but now its asking me to delete all 544 files on my pc. Including Xorg, Xserver, all libs, EVERYTHING. Should I hit clean and it updates them all? or do I press keep? [19:53] almostdvs: I'll probably get an mp3 player eventually. What do you recommend then? [19:53] Thayle: if you plan on getting an ipod or something that definitely works with linux i would say keep vista around 40gb, but if you'll definitely need your media files on vista, dedicate about 10gbs larger than the device to windows [19:53] erm, what exactly is "unix_stream_data_wait"? [19:53] not_jrib: x64 [19:53] amerinese: had that problem with hardy amd64, haven't installed flash on intrepid yet though. [19:53] amerinese: i haven't had any issues, but i've heard others who have. maybe it depends on what flash stuff you are using [19:53] if i remove the NetworkManager.conf & knetworkmanager.conf files from /etc/dbus-1/system.d my issue goes away but then knetworkmanager doesn't start on boot up and i can't connect to any wireless networks! [19:54] I'm trying to netboot ubuntu to install it, the netboot server is my windows xp, how can I do this? [19:54] amerinese: that's nspluginwrapper crashing. Apparently, it's supposed to restart on its own in 8.10 if you want to upgrade and try [19:54] almostdvs: Alright, thanks almostdvs! [19:54] see? now MD5s match [19:54] cygoku: http://mirror.mcs.anl.gov/pub/ubuntu-iso/DVDs/ubuntu/hardy/release/ [19:54] amerinese: My "solution" was to use Epiphany for flash, it seemed to crash less often. [19:55] I should set up an tftp server? [19:55] hey is it normal for twinview that i cant start firefox in both screens? [19:55] Thayle: for example, I have and really like the zune 80gb, so i have almost 100gb for windows, and keep in mind that after formatting you have less space than what is said [19:55] juanelone : this is for Hardy, not Intrepid ! [19:55] hmm, ok, so i guess... i'm uneasy about upgrading because i have dual-monitors, but we'll see [19:55] omg there is no 8.10 [19:55] What is the "Ubuntu Studio desktop (must install)" option at the software selection dialog? [19:55] Next question, Should I install the 32-bit or 64-bit version? I was thinking I should since I have 4GB of RAM, but I dunno. [19:56] seems like the only results i get are for kernel 2.3 and 2.4, i think there was a single 2.6 issue, but what's happening is: gnome-session is taking a massive amount of cpu time, and all apps i try to launch get stuck, and in gnome's system monitor, it lists their status as 'unix_stream_data_wait' [19:56] Thayle: 64 all the way [19:56] amerinese: test out a live cd first. But I imagine you should be fine. X is newer and better :) [19:56] Thayle: 64 is fine for me [19:56] Thayle: What does RAM have to do w/ it? [19:56] seems like a pretty bad thing to have happening :\ [19:56] I did the update via the Update Manager. It hung on cleaning obsolete files. but now its asking me to delete all 544 files on my pc. Including Xorg, Xserver, all libs, EVERYTHING. Should I hit clean and it updates them all? or do I press keep? [19:56] Thayle: if you have 4gb+ ram go with 64 [19:56] Tundrayeti312: 32 bit systems can only utilize around 3gb of ram [19:56] i'll try to update, maybe it's fixed in final :\ [19:56] Thayle: That's only a Win32 issue you're thinking of... Ram has nothing to do with it. [19:57] Tundrayeti312, 32Bit can only hold roughly 3GiBi addresses [19:57] Oh, that's just 32 bit in general? [19:57] exit [19:57] It's OK, I fixed the segfault. [19:57] hey guys, when i run apt-get it launches awn.... i'm a bit confused by this [19:57] php5-xcache currently doesn't work. [19:57] LordMetroid: that's virtual memory, per process.... the total system can use up to 64 gb of physical ram [19:58] the minimum size for my boot partition is 31 GB! [19:58] jimmio, you can even workaround that in winDOS, not possible anymore in WinNT, so does Linux on 32bit :) [19:58] Codemaster: what does 'which apt-get' return? [19:58] Alright cool! So 64-bit it is! [19:58] and my aptitude has an error, mentioning it had an invalid ELF header when trying to load libapt-pkg-libc6.7-6.so.4.6 [19:58] Thayle: remember you have 64 when installing things not in the repositories [19:58] I think I found a bug on Hardy Heron [19:58] not_jrib: /usr/bin/apt-get [19:58] how can I take a backup of my ext3 partition using Ubuntu live CD? (manually copy the files does not work... access denied on some files/folders) [19:58] why can't I size my /boot partition to less the 1% of my total space? I'm wasting tons of disk space on this thing! [19:58] Codemaster: and: readlink -f $(which apt-get) ? [19:59] NicEXE: Google diskdruid [19:59] not_jrib: same thing - /usr/bin/apt-get [19:59] Wavesonics: How big is 1%? [19:59] Thayle: I prefer 64 bit myself, but 32 bit will use 4 gb of ram just fine [19:59] ~35 GB [19:59] What is the difference between "Ubuntu Studio desktop (must install)" and "Ubunut Desktop"? [19:59] Codemaster: does apt-get still run and awn is launched as a side effect or does apt-get not run at all? [19:59] i have a problem: buffer i/0 error on device sr0 anyone a idea? [19:59] I did the update via the Update Manager. It hung on cleaning obsolete files. but now its asking me to delete all 544 files on my pc. Including Xorg, Xserver, all libs, EVERYTHING. Should I hit clean and it updates them all? or do I press keep? [19:59] Flannel: Interesting point. 1% of a 1000GB disk is still 10GB, which is a little big for a /boot. [19:59] not_jrib: doesn't run at all [19:59] ~35 GB [19:59] alrighty then [19:59] currently sort of boned and annoyed [19:59] psusi: Well my laptop has 4gb but apparently it can be upgraded to 8gb, so if I decide to do that it would be better to have 64-bit right? [19:59] !bash [19:59] 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 [20:00] Myoukochou: there shouldn't be any sort of percentage limitation. [20:00] -!- No results found [20:00] can someone link me to wubi for 8.10 if its out? [20:00] finally on the desktop where i can take a look at this gnome-session problem [20:00] Spherous: you should pastebin the exact output in full [20:00] Well, there wasn't for me, true... [20:00] Daisuke-Ido: You just need to download the desktop CD [20:00] Wavesonics: Are you using the alternate CD? DEsktop CD? what? [20:00] not_jrib I can't, it only lets me select one of the apps at a time [20:00] Flannel: Server CD [20:00] Flannel: how does that make a difference when i'm already using intrepid? [20:00] Thayle: not really... unless you want one process to be able to use more than 3gb, like if you are going to be editing 5 gig image files ;) [20:00] Once I go on the wireless network, the internet slows down and sometimes it goes out. [20:00] Daisuke-Ido: How doeswhat make a difference? [20:00] I think I found a bug on Hardy Heron [20:01] Once I go on the wireless network, the internet slows down and sometimes it goes out. [20:01] has anyone here been able to get ubuntu boot on a thinkpad with aUSB [20:01] not_jrib: any idea[s]? :( [20:01] sorry if i missed anything between the original question and now, moved from the laptop to the desktop (which is running intrepid already) [20:01] not_jrib: It is just a list of everything on my pc. like I said, EVERYTHING. all apps, all libs, x, [20:01] Spherous: you definitely don't want to remove everything as that is going to leave you with a pretty broken system [20:01] Wavesonics: Er, Doing manual partitioning? It should ask you for a size in MB, etc, not a percentage. [20:01] I dont use launchpad [20:01] Newbie: that happens to me too, but I always assumed it was the connection, not the computer [20:01] well, got a kernel update and some other things, i'm going to restart and see what i can see [20:01] How do I add the NetworkManager applet to a panel, cant find it in the applets list? [20:01] not_jrib: Yeah, I thought if I pressed remove it would update it all to 8.10 compliant software [20:01] irc.oltreirc.net [20:01] Daisuke-Ido: Oh, sorry. I wasn't trying to reply to you. [20:01] thanks ais523 [20:01] segphault, http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/ThinkWiki [20:01] NiceEXE: dd if=/dev/foo of=mytestfile.out -- many more options to this - man dd or google for full conversion options, etc. -- make sure your hard drive is not mounted when you do this. You will need to create the image on another drive or external disk. [20:01] Newbie: That's not necessarily a bug... may just be an incompatibility with your Wireless card... [20:02] oh [20:02] maybe not, or at least not in the standard way... the shutdown dialog appears, but is entirely blank :\ [20:02] how can I upgrade from the release candidate to the full version of intrepid Ibex? [20:02] Ohh... no one knows what this "Ubuntu Studio desktop (must intall) is at the software selection doalog during the installation?

[20:04] Thayle: You'll need to install the driver, but it's very very simple, done graphically [20:04] hi [20:04] Codemaster: does running awn start apt-get? maybe someone played a joke on you [20:04] @jimmio : I already made a shortcut with -d on the desktop so that's allright :d [20:04] can anyone see me? [20:04] no [20:04] donithegreat, no. [20:04] donithegreat: I can't see you, but I can read what you type.

[20:05] Codemaster: ah, yeah that sounds like it could do it. I'd be wary of what else it messed up though [20:05] dnb1997: Then pop in the CD while you're running windows [20:05] ah ok [20:05] InvisibleSun: You can set in software sources under the updates tab to enable distro upgrade on all upgrades btw, so that shortcut isn't needed [20:05] not_jrib: lovely; any idea to check maybe? also, what package is apt-get in? [20:06] Does anyone know whether or not the Intel 5100AGN wireless card works in intrepid?

[20:06] * cyphase has noticed that, after every Ubuntu release, the average number of people in #ubuntu goes up [20:06] not just in the days after the release [20:06] heh [20:06] donithegreat: Ubuntu should already have Firefox 3.0.3 installed. [20:06] donithegreat: use apt-get [20:06] apparently there is no update available when I use update-manager -d, and I did make the change in software sources, I suppose It automatically updated from RC to full version [20:07] tritrimeta mine has a firefox 3 beta 5 [20:07] InvisibleSun: it is true that you are updated from RC to final automatically with update-manager. I'm not sure what change to sources you are talking about though [20:07] donithegreat: you installed Hardy, 8.04 [20:07] donithegreat: I'd recommend using a program called called "Synaptic" (i think you can access it via System > Administration). You can search for various software in that. [20:07] donithegreat: Intrepid, 8.10 is out [20:07] donithegreat: It's already installed...? and you use Apt-Get for installs... System>Administration>Synaptic Package Manager is the GUI version. [20:07] donithegreat: Try doing "aptitude update && aptitude upgrade" [20:07] salut [20:08] donithegreat: you should install 8.10 [20:08] That should bring everything up to date. [20:08] hi, i've installed right now ubuntu on my desktop ... can you point me on how to check which driver video need i to install ?

[20:08] compton: basically enabling it by force, per-say :] [20:08] Codemaster, thanks, do you have logs you could search for it? [20:08] @ not_jrib : the software sources change to automatically download standard versions instead of longtime support versions [20:08] cyphase the thing is i wanns learn how to install programs on ubuntu,firefox isnt the problem [20:08] I have 2GB of ram, how big should be swap partition? [20:08] as usual, a reboot fixed the problem, but this is absolutely ridiculous :\ [20:09] compton: nope, sorry [20:09] Hi. I often experience visual bug in my top software bar.

[20:13] vm didn't recognize the d/l [20:13] <_biker_geek_> elamsusa: You shouldn't have to burn a disk. You can mount the ISO from the VMWare admin. [20:13] anyone running on a mac book pro and have clamshell mode working? [20:14] I downloaded the files, but how do I turn it inot a iso? [20:14] i hate linux, sudo apt-get install firefox this command is still on 0% after 10 minitues whats the problem? [20:14] not linux [20:14] elamsusa: didnt you DL an iso? [20:14] don, the servers are pretty stressed right now [20:14] <_biker_geek_> elamsusa: The files that you downloaded aren't an ISO? [20:14] linux is great! it just isn't behaving for me right now [20:14] donithegreat, are you on linux right now? [20:14] pr0fane: depends on whether you'll use it for hibernation...I have 2GB RAM and I set my swap to 2GB...some people report that much less, or none, works fine for them but I've noticed performance problems with no swap [20:14] donithegreat: id imagine because fo 8.10 coming out the servers is hammered. [20:14] psusi: it is usefull on servers in case of memleak because then it waste disk space instead of memory [20:14] donithegreat: nice way to associate unrelated things - this is a new release day, the servers are extremely slow at the moment [20:15] <_biker_geek_> cdickerson: Sorry... hehe... I'm not trying to repeat your messages. You type faster than I do. :) [20:15] I went to download an Ubuntu CD [20:15] _biker_geek_: no worries :) [20:15] elamsusa: what are 'the files' then. [20:15] What is the official url to get the dvd version of Intrepid ?!?! [20:15] I installed 8.10 earlier this morning.... Yay! [20:15] ok I vill make a 2GB swap partition [20:15] but what is installation size in ubuntu 8.10 setup [20:15] How to upgrade from hardy to intrepid? [20:16] i will put a size that i will like? [20:16] Did the final version of 8.10 change anything from the Release Candidate? [20:16] back how do I add the vista boot back to my menu.lst [20:16] pr0fane: if you doesn't want to use suspend to disk you don't need swap at all [20:16] cygoku: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/download [20:16] methylate1: wait for the rush to die down, if you upgrade stalls you will have loads of trouble [20:16] i use suspend to disk sometimesd [20:16] Ax3, f9cdb7e9ad85263dde17f8fc81a6305b ubuntu-8.10-desktop-amd64.iso <.. from bittorrent...I'm going to burn this shit now and try it again :) [20:16] At least once a week someone in here advises not to run with swap, which is simply retarded as a default policy. Swaps is useful in so many situations it's simply stupid to run without it just on the off chance you won't need it. [20:16] pr0fane: then you will want at least as much swap as you have RAM [20:17] auotrun.inf, md5sum.txt, umenu.exe., wubi.exe, and folders named casper, dists, install, isolinux, pics, pool, preseed, Ubuntu 8.10 i386 [20:17] It's bad advice. [20:17] but please help me about installation size in ubuntu 8.10 setup [20:17] hi [20:17] network manager not seeing wireless option on reboot... if i deactivate reactivate atheros and leftclick on NM icon it logs in fine, just dont like doing it every reboot? [20:17] 00:05.0 USB Controller: VIA Technologies, Inc. Unknown device 1038 (rev 62) <--- does this look okay? [20:17] dulak: no it isn't [20:17] cdickerson: OK, thank you [20:17] that's what I got too avarus, both times in fact [20:17] I have 4 gigs of RAM... I have 1 gig of swap... swap hasn't been touched in all the time I've had Hardy running [20:18] ubuntu is showing me two processors in my system monitor, which vista never did, so does this mean up until now I was never using my processors to their full potential? [20:18] reiki_: you'd have to run a lot of programs to make that happen :) [20:18] jacekowski: yes it is, it's horrible advice given by people with rigid thinking who refuse to understand that not everyone has the same usage patterns they do. [20:18] methylate1: did you see that guy saying hes trying to get firefox and its at 0% after 10 min. that will be you for HOURS. wait a week and it should speed up. :) [20:18] thanks for your help [20:18] going to upgrade to intrepid now 8) [20:18] allele, it's probably a p4? [20:18] jacekowski: running without swap is the exception, not the rule [20:18] can someone help me [20:18] no amd turion 64x2 [20:18] allele, no, not you have a separated view on their performance. [20:18] pr0fane: with? [20:18] reiki_, 4G of RAM, you don't even need swap lol [20:18] Gnea: I have... on all 4 desktop spaces... about 20 or 30 things running. It just doesn't seem to need swap for teh stuff I do.... and that can be different for different people I'm sure [20:18] allele, mmh...then yes :) [20:19] is this chat for hardy or intrepid? [20:19] allele, it has nothing to do with the usage of them. [20:19] im installing ubuntu 8.10 ..how big should be installation sizze [20:19] prOfane: you need (least and about) 10 gig [20:19] reiki_, unless you're using some real memory intense applications === methylate1 is now known as methyl [20:19] reiki_: nice [20:19] Are we going to get Open Office 3 on Ubuntu 8.10 or is going to have to wait till 9.04 [20:19] pr0fane: you need (least and about) 10 gig [20:19] ianliu_88: both, though I'm sure the focus is on Intrepid since it was released today [20:19] alright, well since it has amd in the processor name should I switch from the i386 ubuntu to the x64? [20:19] !install | pr0fane [20:19] pr0fane: Ubuntu can be installed in a lot of ways. Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation for documentation. Problems during install? See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CommonProblemsInstall. Don't want to use a CD? Try http://tinyurl.com/3exghs - See also !automate [20:19] jacekowski: you should not be advising anyone new to linux to run without swap, it's something they can decide after they understand linux better, not when they are new [20:19] i only can find packages in the terminal with sudo apt-get install but cant in synaptic... whats wrong? [20:19] Alright guys! I am off to install 8.10! Hopefully the next time I talk to you it will be on UBUNTU!!! [20:19] dulak: so if somebody have 4G of ram [20:19] pr0fane: check that first URL that ubottu gave you, it's very helpful === Queenie is now known as TMM2 [20:20] dulak: how large swap should be then [20:20] jacekowski: I would still advise 1g of swap minimum [20:20] Paul68, is het gelukt? [20:20] I agree with dulak [20:20] Is there a way to remove items from GRUB? [20:20] vbabiy: there might be a backport later on, though you can always install it on your own (you just won't have the advantage of auto-updates and such) [20:20] Ok, I am a newbie with nvidia cards..I am given the choice to install version 173 or 177, what should I choose? [20:20] I am getting a 'Exec format error' with a init script, verbose is not helping gain more information. Googling hasn't revealed much either. [20:20] Ive got a nVidia Corporation GeForce 6150SE [20:20] Ax3, I'm trying it, brb :P [20:20] Yasumoto: yeah that is what I was looking for [20:20] dulak: WHY? [20:20] PassionFRUI7E: gksu gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst [20:20] I usually clear out a partition, install clean.... make sure it works... and then transfer stuff over to a new install. [20:20] vbabiy: to download it yourself? [20:21] Gnea:though I'll keep on hardy for some time, is it planned to use this channel for ibex ? [20:21] askand: I'm pretty sure they both support that card... I'd go with the older one though, as that is a pretty dated card. [20:21] dulak: and show me your free -m [20:21] Intrepid has OpenOffice 3? [20:21] DasEi1: yes, and we will be supporting hardy for awhile (i'm still running hardy :) ) [20:21] Gnea: quite a while, given that it's LTS [20:21] ianliu_88: no [20:21] RobertAlblas: ik ben mijn vista menu kwijt [20:21] Yasumoto: Thanks, perfect. [20:21] ais523: yup [20:21] jimmio: Do you think I will have better performance using the older driver? [20:21] Gnea:is there a date for the change ? [20:21] jacekowski: you can give me one reason why running without swap is a good idea, I can list a dozen situations where swap will help, and keep a noob from screwing himself. [20:22] DasEi1: on the website [20:22] Yasumoto: to have full Ubuntu support [20:22] I am think about moving my home directory to different partition . I was wondering how much space dose the rest of Ubuntu really need to be ? I want to keep all my docs , songs , movies , compiled program and so on [20:22] askand: It shouldn't matter either way.... I'd stick to the older one to be on the safe side though. [20:22] network manager not seeing wireless option on reboot... if i deactivate reactivate atheros and leftclick on NM icon it logs in fine. Any ideas? [20:22] Gnea:nice, but might be little hyped now, lol, thx [20:22] tarelerulz, 3-4 gb maximum [20:22] is it easy to pass from ubuntu to kubuntu or do you need a format ? [20:22] hello... im using hardy heron now, but i heard ubuntu 8.10 coming out, how to upgrade my system? [20:22] DasEi1: sorry, http://ubuntu.com/support specifically [20:22] Is it a good idea to install ubuntu 8.10 inside windows [20:22] jacekowski: it's useful on servers so they can still load a gui desktop but when it's idle for days and weeks, can be swapped out to free up ram ;) [20:22] pr0fane: Waste of tme [20:22] DasEi1: not really, we've got a lot of seeds in place now :) [20:22] jacekowski: I am not criticizing you running without swap, I'm criticizing you advising other people to do so without understanding the consequences [20:23] dulak: even though I don't use swap... I still recommend anyone new using it at LEAST until tehy can be sure they don't need it. However I did find teh default swap sizes a bit outlandish [20:23] dulak: it saves disk space [20:23] what do u mean by that [20:23] pr0fane: Defeats the purpose of linux [20:23] pr0fane: depends on your needs [20:23] PassionFRUI7E: no. [20:23] pr0fane: If you want a trial run the desktop from the CD. [20:23] pr0fane: if you're not used to it yet and want to get used to it, it's not a bad idea [20:23] disk performance is slightly reduced... [20:23] !wubi | pr0fane [20:23] pr0fane: Wubi is an Ubuntu installer for Windows users that allows you to install and uninstall Ubuntu like a Windows application, in a simple and safe way. http://wubi-installer.org/support.php for troubleshooting. Please file bugs at http://launchpad.net/wubi/+filebug. [20:23] What is the official url to get the DVD DVD DVD version of Intrepid ?!?! [20:23] cygoku: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/download [20:23] what's a dvd dvd dvd? [20:23] PassionFRUI7E: that's not necessary anymore. [20:24] im used to ubuntu [20:24] cygoku, please stop! you overdo it really! [20:24] Anyone know of a way to backup up all your wifi configs? [20:24] velko ,is your system set up like the home on its own partition and the rest /boot ,/bin ,/etc taking up 4 gb ? [20:24] pr0fane: It will be as slow as molasses especially if it's a single core PC (like mine D:) [20:24] vbabiy: gotcha [20:24] cygoku: you've been told, also read the topic :) [20:24] how to grow up a directory? only temporary --it's necessary 1G on /var to upgrade it-- [20:24] My nm-applet is missing from the notifying-area, even if i restaet nm-applet it wont appear, anyone knows how to fix it? [20:24] reiki: I agree, I wish the installer did a better job estimating a sane swap size, but better too much than not enough for someone new [20:24] installation will be slow or the os it self? [20:24] dulak: Mem: 2022 1842 179 0 143 1005 Swap: 8001 0 8000 [20:24] Anyone know of a way to backup up all your wifi configs so they can easily be imported on another machine? [20:24] using 8.10 and it's great no wow as fa as desktop but stable. [20:25] tarelerulz, root+home. no separate usr, var, boot, etc... [20:25] jacekowski: again, your specific situation is fine, I dont' care if you run without swap, but don't advise other people who don't understand it to do so [20:25] BleSS: qparted can do it [20:25] that would be far [20:25] Anyone know how to change from compiz to metacity on startup? [20:25] cygoku: there's no Ubuntu DVD, only a CD [20:25] installation will be slow or the os it self...(installing inside windows) [20:25] tarelerulz, and i just looked up: my root partition is 4.1 gb [20:25] Yasumoto: thanks for your help [20:25] I have a problem, quite possibly complicated - do i write it here or can I speak to someone in pm? [20:25] dulak: at one point a default install was giving me an 8GB swap when I had 4GB of memory.... weirdness.... :) [20:25] ? [20:25] Chel, write here === richard is now known as Guest63357 [20:25] tarelerulz, i mean - 4.1 gb are used [20:25] Chel: write it in one line if you can, then people can talk it through with you over PM if they're interested [20:25] Darn, what about ppl without blank CD handy huh ?!?! [20:25] Chel: spit it out right here on the floor [20:25] oh yeah!!!! somebody please say congratulations!! sucessfully nullified touchscreen input without damaging stylus pen!!!! hell yeah!! [20:25] Is there any difference between upgrading from the Internet or Upgrading from an alternative CD? [20:26] ais523 - okay, thanks [20:26] jimmio: ok how often does nvidia drivers get out for linux? [20:26] reiki: So? It can't hurt to have that much swap [20:26] askand: You won't need to update.... for a LONG time [20:26] Anyone know of a way to backup up all your wifi configs so they can easily be imported on another machine? [20:26] Gnea// are you there :) [20:26] cygoku: then burn the CD image to a blank DVD, and if you don't have one of those handy either then it doesn't matter which you get :) [20:26] jimmio: = they does not release very often :( [20:26] I've been using ubuntu since warty, and this was the first upgrade that went smoothly throughout, and resulted in a bootable, working system [20:26] every time I open the terminal my PC freezes... what's wrong? [20:26] with one caveat---network-manager seems to be disabled [20:27] my interface didn't come up on boot or login [20:27] it's really annoying [20:27] can anyone help with my 'start-stop-daemon' problem (Exec format error)? [20:27] and there's no network manager icon in the system tray [20:27] any idea how to fix that? [20:27] askand: = they're dropping support slowly with new drivers [20:27] question - I have a dedicated server in a distant location - fresh ubuntu server install. I want to run some programs under WINE, but they need the gui component, so I'm trying to set up VNC - though have failed massively after several attempts. I am ssh'ing into the box [20:27] jimmio: :( I knew I should have bought an aticard [20:28] askand: That card is ANCIENT... [20:28] Any difference between upgrading from Internet and upgrading using Alternative CD? [20:28] hey i messed up the userrights in my ubuntu system, will it be restored after upgrade to 8.10? [20:28] askand: Well, ancient in today's terms =P I have a 6800... [20:29] jimmio: that would explain the price.. you dont happen to know if I can have both an integrated card and a regular card and only using the latter? [20:29] Guest63357, yes, upgrading from the internet means you download the packages whilst you upgrade whereas they install from the CD if you use the CD [20:29] hi all. I just upgraded to 8.10, and now network manager does not show in the notification bar. it doesn't show up if i run NetworkManager from console either [20:29] This is hilarious. Is there in documentation that explains how to switch from "Compiz" to "Metacity" on startup? [20:29] So how small can Ubuntu install be ? I want my home on its own partition for all my songs , movies , doc , compiled programs [20:29] So I'm back and sad! I'm still on vista. When trying to install the cd I got some iwlagn error that said something about timing out after 500ms and then nothing happened after that... [20:30] deluge 1.0.3 or deluge in the repos? What do you think people? Any oppinions? [20:30] just out of curiosity... how would i reset my gnome config to default? because renaming/removing ~/.gnome2 didn't do it. [20:30] askand: Yup, just disable the internal video from the bios, you should be fine. if you plan on upgrading, I'd go for an 8800 GT, cheap, and only one PCIe 2.0 x16 slot [20:30] when I open the terminal my PC goes super laggy... It doesn't let you work. What's wrong? [20:30] 52 % on alt install cd :D [20:30] tarelerulz, the base debian install is about 100 mb. but you don't have gui, etc. it depends on what do you want to install i guess [20:30] bleh, wrong window [20:30] Daisuke_Ido: remove .gconf something I think === darkstar is now known as yo [20:30] why do i get no usb device even if i have http://pastebin.com/f42688868 is dmesg? [20:30] No one knows whats wrong? [20:30] jgoguen : how can I burn a CD image to a DVD ?!?! === pw-- is now known as pw- [20:30] hola [20:30] Tuxsympathiser, Thanks, i just tried upgrading from the Internet and it will take 9 hours to download packages. While if i download the alternative CD using bittorrent, it would go faster. But, i was afraid that the Alternative CD won't install all the packages. [20:30] jimmio: Aha I tought you meant they were dropping support slowly for all cards :) [20:30] cygoku: you can't [20:31] que tal [20:31] askand: I always go with the repos, then I get security updates and don't have to worry about anything. it's just easier that way. [20:31] español [20:31] jacekowski: I did it last night [20:31] is there a wifi guide for 8.10? apparently it's not as friendly towards atheros as promised [20:31] Almost done download alternative CD using Bittorrent :) [20:31] wtfudge [20:31] downloading ** [20:31] cygoku: you put the blank DVD in, select the CD image, and click burn...in most cases [20:31] not just security updates - bug fixes too! :) [20:31] pw-: i've noticed that too.. :( [20:31] INTREPID DVD IMAGE : http://ftp.acc.umu.se/mirror/cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/8.10/release/ [20:31] how does 8.10 handle keyboard layouts? i want to manually hack my swedish layout but cant find the files i am used to change. :) [20:32] whyz, aye, it's a bit discouraging, as i've eagerly been awaiting this release just for the wifi support [20:32] askand: Ohhh, no no no... xD they dropped 3D support for GeForce 4000's... 6's are fine for now though [20:32] any idea why, after upgrading to intrepid, network manager doesn't see either of my network cards? [20:32] larsemil: when you install you get the choice of swedish, swedish dvorak, and so on. other than that I don't know :) [20:32] Hello everybody, i got a Razer Lachesis mouse and was trying to find some software that would help me configure it. I found this tool here http://www.bu3sch.de/razercfg.php and downloaded the tar.bz2 and im not sure about what I am supposed to do with the files inside it. [20:32] So no one knows why I would get some iwlagn error that times out 500ms when trying to install ubuntu? [20:32] mker: i want to manually hack it now. [20:32] pw-: same here. i had it working nicely (but had to redo it all after each kernel update), but now networkmanager doesn't even work for me [20:32] jimmio: ok thanks! will check 8800b GT out! [20:33] having the same problem here, feeling a bit angry >.> [20:33] While i'm here, can anyone provide a link to recompiling kernel the Ubuntu's way? I know Debian has it's own way of recompiling kernel. [20:33] help! can't seem to change default DVD app [20:33] paul__: if there's a file called Makefile in it, cd into its directory, then type make && sudo make install. If not, and there's a file called configure, do ./configure && make && sudo make install [20:33] I think this was the error iwlagn: Error sending REPLY_SCAN_ABORT_CMD: time out after 500ms. [20:33] velko, I have gnome and desktop install and all the updates . Bunch of media programs . 4 gb sound good for programs . Never seen one take up that much at all. The only thing I have that takes up space is songs. movies , So, I think get way with 4gb [20:33] Thayle: wireless kill switch [20:33] hi there! anyone knows how i can auto-mount a ntfs volume after login to a gnome session? [20:33] man, why has Ubuntu 64 bits so many problems with updating the last weeks ? [20:33] all broken pipelines :S [20:33] jacekowski: what? [20:33] pw-: if i deactivate reactivate my atheros then left click on network manager it starts working, maybe it will help you?

[20:36] Glu31: depending on your router and bt client, it might do it automatically [20:36] Flare183, DasEi1 thx, so ALL, or pretty all, packets (and not the securiy/patches only) will remain upgraded? thx [20:36] NetworkManager doesn't see any network interfaces (despite the fact that ifconfig sees them all, and dhclient runs successfully) after an upgrade to intrepid. Anyone know why this might be?

[20:45] jimcooncat: or create script and use ssh [20:45] Anyone here know how to convince NetworkManager to detect a network interface? [20:45] nekostar/ yes [20:45] Okay, big problem here. I went ahead did the upgrade with the update manager. It listed all the files on my computer telling me they weren't going to work with 8.10, and asked me if I want to remove them all, or keep them all, well, I said keep. So I finished it, restarted. Logged in smooth. BUT, none of my stuff works. I can't enable compiz, I can't turn on my graphic drivers, I can't use any screenlets, I can't use my cube, awn is gone. if I go to the u [20:45] leohartx ok lets do this a bit different. first is ethernet interface eth0 from running in a terminal: ifconfig [20:45] nekostar: good bye [20:45] pipegeek:does lspci find the device ? [20:45] Spherous run jockey-gtk and get the appropriate nvidia driver [20:45] does* [20:46] Spherous doesnt use nvidia-glx-[old/new/etc] [20:46] take it easy Flare183 [20:46] err what do you do if you upgraded to 8.10 and gdm doesn't recognize your keyboard to let you login? [20:46] nekostar, last time I did that, my screen messed up and I had to completely reformat and reinstall all of ubuntu [20:46] How do I get such in Intrepid -> http://library.gnome.org/misc/release-notes/2.24/#rnusers.hamster [20:46] anyone know what I need to configure so that I can use my samba server's hostname from within linux clients? It works just fine with windows clients but I need to specify an IP address with linux clients [20:46] DasEi1: yes, it does. And the device works. I can bring it up manually, and dhclient successfully gets an IP address. NetworkManager doesn't see it though, so it isn't brought up on boot. Also, there's no network-manager icon in my gnome system tray. [20:46] Spherous first remember that you have consoles on alt+f1-f6 [20:46] so please install irssi for me ok? [20:46] DasEi1: this is after an upgrade hardy => intrepid [20:46] and screen [20:47] you can run that in a terminal inside of screen, and if your X messes up you can continue the irc from the console so you dont have to reinstall! [20:47] piegeek:thx for the additional info, I'm not familar enough with that, sry [20:47] If I were to use the netboot install image (http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/intrepid/main/installer-i386/current/images/netboot/), would I be installing the stable version of ibex, or a version prior to it? [20:47] !irssi [20:47] Irssi is a terminal based IRC client. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Irssi for help. [20:47] Zeyelth you would be installing the current packages [20:47] that might help nekostar [20:47] nekostar: I know, I tried to use them, but it wouldn't let me 'system restore' to before I did it, and it wouldn't let me fix it [20:47] Flare183 whats that? [20:47] hi all [20:47] hello [20:48] Are the apt mirrors slow for anyone else? [20:48] Spherous as long as you can boot and run irssi i can help you. [20:48] hi everyone, i can't get a connection to the internet. may ubuntu don't know my usb stick? (the stick is from fritz!wlan) [20:48] nekostar: You sure? I'm asking because the file is dated 26th of Oct. [20:48] nekostar: Was it irrsi you needed help with? [20:48] nekostar: and no one here in #ubuntu could figure it out~ [20:48] Zeyelth whats that? [20:48] Zeyelth it just contains drivers basically [20:48] danopia:wouldn't try these days, but torrent runs great [20:48] nekostar: alright... so shall we open a pm and you can walk me through this? if you don't mind, of course [20:48] the idea of a netinstall cd is that its so tiny you get all the packages online. [20:48] gdm locked me out. i need help. [20:48] Spherous lets do in chan till X messes up first ;) [20:49] !ati [20:49] For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [20:49] Hi I thought that openoffice 3 would be standard in 8.10 but I'm still on 2.4 [20:49] DasEi1: thanks anywayh [20:49] anyone else have any experience with networkmanager? [20:49] DasEi1, I am getting 40 kb/s and it'll take 10 minutes to get mysql [20:49] Why would nautilus stop running today in Hardy? Launch it from places or CLI, see nautilus --no-desktop file:///home/... in ps -ef, but there's no window. [20:49] nekostar: alright, whats my first step? [20:49] Flare183 no i was telling Spherous that irssi+screen = no need to reinstall b/c X is messed up for irc [20:49] Spherous gimme one sec plz [20:49] anyone else have any experience with networkmanager? I can bring up my network connection by hand, but for some reason, it's losing its ip address every five minutes [20:49] I have to keep running dhclient [20:49] nekostar: I'd guess that it pulls the stable version, if it makes no distinction from the stable version and the various beta versions. I just wanted to check if my guess was correct. [20:49] paul68: ooo3 was too late to be included [20:49] what is the meta package for ubuntu if i want to remove whole ubuntu, i did apt-get install kubuntu-desktop?

[21:15] lots of people must be doing this now, because it is saying "downloading upgrade tool" and it's just frozen [21:15] can someone please help me or point me in the right direction, i don't have any clue how to get 8.10 out of the low graphics setting, using an older kernel didn't help either [21:15] ...still somewhat new to this, dont quite know what to expect, but are the us ubuntu intrepid repos slow right now? [21:15] hehe.. update is fluctuating between 44minutes and 4 hours..lol [21:15] wilhelmb: yeah exactly. that too. Then you actually have a bigger reason to run 64 bit. [21:16] Hi guys! Is Openoffice3 supported in 8.10 ? Thanks [21:16] MetalHeadDead: Thanks. I guess I'll hold off on upgrading... [21:16] DasEi1: DId you download today? [21:16] kansascanuck: permission may be off, can you you sudo reboot in terminal? [21:16] tofuwurst:may I pm you [21:16] Opr8iVe: nearly all the repos are likely to be slow at the moment, a new version just released [21:16] Hi I'm running Hardy Heron and I think there's a problem with my sources or something cause it always shows the light bulb on the bar up top and says that I need to update my sources list or something like that [21:16] Dextorion: yeah. thx for your help [21:16] Anyone got globalmenu applet working in intrepid? [21:16] Ibci: I haven't tried that. How do I turn the permissions on? [21:16] K_Dallas: no it isn't [21:16] anyone else having Amarok trouble since upgrading to 8.10? [21:16] DasEi1: yap [21:16] kansascanuck:no, farmer beta (about 4 weeks) [21:16] Asara: what graphics card do you have? [21:16] Yeah.. Okay.. Just changed my gateway, wanted to make sure the slowdown wasnt on my end [21:16] DasEi1: [21:16] i really like the new encryption file in 8.10, thats a big draw for me, and it is supposed to have even more security [21:16] hspaans, and I wouldnt be able to install it ? [21:16] wilhelmb: You'r welcome, for whatever help i was.. [21:17] Does anyone have experience with EFI on Apples and booting linux? [21:17] DasEi1: I downloaded that release candidate this week and I am having this issue. [21:17] Spherous ok next time you install, you need to do manual partitioning, and make /home it's own partition. i was going to suggest downloading the iso and going from there, but this is kinda how it HAS to work. [21:17] djhash: a ATI Mobility Radeon 9700 [21:17] K_Dallas: if 2.4 is working for you then stick to it [21:17] !anyone | nikolajsheller1 [21:17] nikolajsheller1: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? [21:17] there is another way to ensure this will go perfectly but your not going to like it [21:17] File encryption? [21:17] Asara: did you try getting the drivers from Ati? [21:17] Yo! I'm playing around with the effects for windows in compiz and saw the explode effect and thought that would be perfect for a program that crashes. Anyone got any ideas on how to get Compiz to add that effect to a window whose program crashes? [21:17] open synaptic and it will take a while but go and select every installed package [21:17] kansascanuck: system->administration->authorizations... after my friends upgrade he was disabled from admin stuff somehow [21:17] nekostar: O.o whys that? [21:17] [you can organize by installed] [21:18] then select all for removal [21:18] djhash: hmm, not yet...can i apt-get them? [21:18] this will take an hour maybe [21:18] Ibci: What do I change once I get there? [21:18] Asara: no.. you need to get it from Ati's website.. [21:18] you have to keep clicking this popup about how your breaking the system [21:18] Well... Nothing on Slashdot yet, so it can't be horrible... [21:18] are the intrepid repositories down? [21:18] then when your scheduled everything EVERYTHING to uninstall, select ubuntu-desktop to install. [21:18] Asara: or you can try !EnvyNG [21:18] hspaans, or maybe I install OOo3-win using crossover ;) I hoped that 8.10 would support OOo3 [21:18] isn't ATI Mobility Radeon 9700 an old card ? [21:18] nekostar: Since I'm on a network, wouldn't it make more since to back up all my important files (Pics, vids,ect) and just reformat then? [21:18] it will cascade down and keep everything you need and nothing that was not originally default. [21:18] djhash: ok, is there any reason they aren't included in 8.10? because 8.04 worked just fine for me [21:18] oh yes it would Spherous [21:18] Hellooo :) [21:19] !paste|tofuwurst [21:19] tofuwurst: 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) [21:19] Litte problem with VGA-out if anyone bother to help :) [21:19] The distribution upgrader just shut down with the message "could not get exclusive lock" (I didn't have any other managers running) and now the system's sources are set to Hardy but it hasn't been upgraded yet... this seems like an unpleasant bug (it didn't reset the sources after the upgrade failed) [21:19] !paste>tofuwurst [21:19] tofuwurst, please see my private message [21:19] nekostar: So shall I just stop the thing you had me run and do that? [21:19] i recommend partitioning as follows: 10G for root // 2x ram - swap and // rest is home [21:19] TuxMachines has mainly good feedback... [21:19] Spherous yeah [21:19] djhash, why are you suggesting envy or ati, isn't this card supported by the ati restricted driver from the repositories ? [21:19] and instead download the latest iso, and itl be there when you get back from school [21:19] nekostar: Lol alright. [21:19] etc [21:19] clean is super easier trust me ;d [21:19] TheCrusher: Just ask away.. [21:19] how do I upgrade form rc1 to 8.10? [21:19] Asara: i belive the new Xorg is very different from 8.04.. one thing to note is that they dropped legacy support.. but ur card is newer than legacy. [21:20] Installed ati drivers and it broke the system, reinstalled and haven't tried drivers again out of fear, card is ati radeon x700. [21:20] jin, just check your updates on the updated manager, that will get you into final [21:20] Uhm, having a nvidia geforce go 7600-card not wanting to send a signal to a monitor here [21:20] K_Dallas: there are some packages for Ubuntu, but expect issues. and there is no real point to switch to 3.0 now [21:20] NvTv Out didn't work [21:20] I'm having trouble displaying at my monitor's native resolution (1680x1050). I'm using the new g45 chipset. Any ideas? [21:20] Asara: joaopinto: first try the restricted drivers from repos.. if that doesnt work.. try EnvyNG [21:20] nekostar: Yeah, so, how do I put just /home on a seperate partition? and what do I do when everything installs by default to /home o.o [21:20] Spherous tho for the record. [21:20] Asara, have you enabled the restricted ati driver from the hardware drivers menu ? [21:20] i could have done it [21:20] hspaans, I wouldnt go there. I think I go back and install office2003 as it works pretty fast under crossover [21:21] nekostar: I know how to partition and all, but Idk how to do just /home [21:21] Spherous in partitioning do custom and remember double size of your ram for swap, 10-15GB for root and rest for home [21:21] djhash: i'm on the ATI site now, but it only lists Xorg support till ver 7.3, isn't 8.10 using xorg 7.4? [21:21] Spherous er... deleting other partitions? [21:21] djhash, you should not advice to use envy and not the drivers from the ATI site for a card which is expected to be supported by the current repos drivers [21:21] K_Dallas: 3.0 is as fast as 2.4 [21:21] ActionParsnip Looks like it got busy here; I've got to go ... I may try again when it's not so busy...thx [21:21] <_lord_x__> Spherous: add another partition, copystuff over, del old home mount new partition to /home [21:21] so 8g for swap, 15gb for root and 300~ for home? [21:21] <_lord_x__> done [21:22] <_lord_x__> 8g swap? [21:22] Did that make you any smarter? [21:22] nekostar: Yeah, I figured why even mess with the copying, why not just give it a whole wipe? [21:22] <_lord_x__> how much ram you have? [21:22] Asara, System -> Admin -> HW drivers [21:22] Spherous copy files and folders off [21:22] joaopinto: there's no drivers listed there [21:22] nekostar: Of course [21:22] like .xchat2 .gaim .purple .mozilla [21:22] !who > _lord_x__ [21:22] oh yeah then wipe and format [21:22] _lord_x__, please see my private message [21:22] Hi, I just upgraded to teh new ubuntu, but my window borders are gone ... is there anyone who could help me with this problem .. ? [21:22] i actually recommend if your hdd is large enough: [21:23] <_lord_x__> spherous cp -ax is a good choice [21:23] 10GB 10GB doubleram rest [21:23] hi! i accidentally pressed super+R and now i am in some kind of zoom mode!!! How can i Exit? ??? [21:23] niek: what wm do you use? [21:23] which lets you run two full distros and share home partition and share swap [21:23] niek: (if you don't know, it's probably gnome) [21:23] naxa [21:23] gnome [21:23] just hold super and scroll down [21:23] Hi. I have a problem with OpenOffice Calc. The current directory is always prepended to the Web URL when using Open dialog. [21:23] i just installed envyng, i'll ctrl-alt-backspace and see if that worked. brb [21:23] niek: have you tried changing wm themes and then changing back? [21:24] nekostar: wait, 10gb 10gb <--- what are those for? doubleram is for swap, and rest is /home [21:24] not yet [21:24] Installed ati drivers and it broke the system, reinstalled and haven't tried drivers again out of fear, card is ati radeon x700. [21:24] Spherous i quad boot [21:24] thats a dual boot setup for partitioning [21:24] <_lord_x__> sorry guys... not my day today... from now on nick: bla :D [21:24] upgrade tool still frozen....... [21:24] nekostar, it doesn't work... is there no other way? [21:24] may have to wait a few days [21:24] say next time around, you could install intrepid in its own partition [21:24] niek: It's possible the theme you were using had a change that requires it to be reloaded. [21:24] nekostar: No need for me to dual boot o.o [21:24] naxa super is like windows key and scroll down [21:24] Spherous never know :P [21:24] makes a great testing ground [21:24] nekostar, i understand but it doesn't work, beleive me! [21:24] When I try to update my sources list, it stops at file 31 out of 44 and refuses to continue or stop, what's wrong? [21:25] it doesn't work when changing teh themes [21:25] Anyone have a sollution for no signal on VGA-out? [21:25] so, what's the deal with xorg.conf on Ubuntu 8.10? is it obsoleted somehow? [21:25] what partitions do you recommend creating on an ubuntu installation? I usually cheat and do it the easy way, 10 gigs for "/", 10 gigs for "home", and maybe 500megs for "/boot" [21:25] nekostar, if i disable zoom in compiz advanced settings manager, will it return to normal? [21:25] nekostar: I could always add the second partition when I decide to dual boot with the second OS' disc === solid_li` is now known as solid_liq [21:25] mixed: just put /boot on / if / is not on LVM [21:25] Hello [21:26] :) [21:26] <_lord_x__> Mixed_--_ : depends... but 500 megs for boot is a lot... you want to collect kernels? [21:26] naxa lemme try it [21:26] good night [21:26] I have just installed ubuntu 8.10 [21:26] Spherous resizing ext3 is a pain - i recommend leaving it there now for future but hey thats just me lol [21:26] but I still have OpenOffice 2.4 [21:26] this is about choice! [21:26] is that normal ? [21:26] root swap and home is minimal ;) [21:26] _lord_x__, I used to do that but from now on I'll do what hspaans suggested and put "/boot" in "/" [21:26] digit4l: yes [21:26] <_lord_x__> digit4l: yes. [21:26] <_lord_x__> ;) [21:27] :( [21:27] naxa yeah looks like that should work [21:27] well, at first x won't start. something about a unknown flag "rgbpath" or somethin, so I commented the line. But yah, I've custom xorg.conf becuase I have dual monitor and compiz [21:27] nekostar: I've done it before~ wasn't bad at all, lol [21:27] and it's possible to get 8.10 in any way ? [21:27] ok so how would you partition a HD for a fresh installation??? [21:27] w00t im upgrading, patience is a virtue [21:27] <_lord_x__> Mixed_--_: a separate /boot partition is need if you for example encrypt root or stuflike that [21:27] Mixed_--_, what size? [21:27] niek: what's ur graphics card? [21:27] nekostar: So do I name the partitions? or how do I tell it which is which? never done it~ haha [21:27] nvidia [21:28] When i upgraded to 8.10 it had a few issues, now when i try check for updates with the update manager i get the following, does anything know how to get rid of it?

[21:28] nekostar: lol alrighty [21:28] yea DeFirence , i also had the problems like u [21:28] DeFirence: give it time.. most probably the reason is fluctuating bandwidth which can corrupt packet flow.. [21:29] like this..

[21:29] hmm ok, thanks, hopefully i wont have to format :( [21:29] !pastebin | unitedpotsmokers [21:29] unitedpotsmokers: 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) [21:29] is there any download statistics for Ubuntu 8.10? [21:29] Mixed_--_, actually it does if you have a 40 I don't suggest breaking it up if you have 500GB then I have a different attitude [21:29] sahak, I know it was tipping 1GB from one mirror most of the day peaking at 1.3 [21:29] hi i have a zonet modem with a motorola chipset, i installed ungrab_winmodem and slamr everything went fine wvdial recognizes my modem but when i dial it cant find the carrier, stupid mode doesnt help either, what could cause this? [21:30] sahak, so many mirrors so no there is not [21:30] _lord_x__, ok how would you format it for a server that has an old CPU, and about 40 gigs? [21:30] I shouldn't have ignored those hardy updates, its got 200mb of updates now and because of the server load, its taking a long time to download them all [21:30] i afraid to restart my laptop if i something wrong happen [21:30] but what am I doning wrong ? cuz it worked just fine before the upgrade .... [21:30] ompaul: how about bittorrent statistics? [21:30] sahak, connect and see [21:30] nekostar: So, do you know what caused my update to not work? [21:30] ompaul: the dutch one was only doing 842Mb/s today [21:30] is there a way to make gtk apps inherit kde theme ? i want to run firefox in kde 4.1 but firefox uses basic gtk theme which is ugly if i do that [21:31] hspaans, most of the dutch were doing sudo apt-get update already :-) so how many who knows [21:31] niek: using kde/gnome/xfce? [21:31] ompaul--I have 500 gigs on my desktop, how do you suggest I format the hard drive for the "OS" itself???? Meaning what partitions should I have for the distro? [21:31] <_lord_x__> Mixed_--_ : / 5 g and the rest for your /myshare or something [21:31] torrent file went way over 2 mb/s here [21:31] djhash: GNOME [21:31] Spherous yeah [21:31] guys i just updated to intrepid, and am having xorg issues. i can get into it with dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg, but when i then try to enable the 177 driver it won't enable [21:31] ompaul: there is a little bump last weekend ;-) [21:31] any ideas? [21:31] <_lord_x__> mixed_--_ but htats my opinion.. at least you should have space for the os, and packaegs to update [21:31] _lord_x_, I forgot to mention, my share is another hard drive with 100 gigs [21:31] nm-applet is gone in intrepid.. if i start it manually it appears.. how can i make it appear automatically? [21:31] Spherous you needed to be bold and upgrade everything you told it not to upgrade the kernel [21:32] My maximum download speed is 200 kB/s and no im lucky to get 100 kB/s at some times on these downloads [21:32] you could probably still get away with doing a sudo aptitude dist-ugprade [21:32] and just install whatever comes [21:32] nekostar, i beleive that it works for you but not for me... my compiz allways functioned strange anyway... or maybe my button on my mouse is not configured in X... [21:32] i would just download the iso first just in case [21:32] so, what's the deal with xorg.conf on Ubuntu 8.10? is it obsoleted somehow? what's the "proper" way to configure X? [21:32] ,LETS PARTY! [21:32] _lord_x_, I do not believe that is an expert setup, since my reading tell me I should have a separate partition for "/" and "/home" [21:32] joaopinto: djhash : nope, didn't work....still stuck in low graphics mode [21:32] naxa then go to console, stop gdm [X], and rm ~/.config ~/.compiz there might be another [21:32] neunon: it's almost empty yes [21:32] <_lord_x__> mixed_--_ hmm then give the os 15 gig /home the rest to store your private files or something... and the rest is clear... a share. [21:33] nekostar: It didn't ask to upgrade anything, it wanted to remove all 544 files on my pc. Like all the libs, x, all apps, just everything was there, I was afraid I would of lost off my info -again- if I hit remove, it would of like broke my pc~ [21:33] nekostar, by the way, thank you for the tip, but it not works [21:33] zamba: either look for a preference or set a new gnome profile, perhaps? [21:33] naxa try #compiz-fusion the best help for that is there [21:33] mixed I tend to do /boot 2G (far too much but I like safety) /swap (2.5* ram) up to 2G and then depending on how you view the world i.e. 75G / and 25G /var and the rest for /home [21:33] nekostar, ok, thank you... [21:33] <_lord_x__> mixed_--_ you use /home a lot on a server? [21:33] naxa btw [21:33] restarting X should get you out of zoom mode [21:33] ctrl+alt+bkspace [21:33] you need to re login though [21:33] hspaans: in particular, I need to configure the synaptics driver, but the docs for 8.10 haven't gone online yet. do I just throw a new inputdevice section in and muck with that? I've been -told- that xorg.conf is going away or something. [21:34] niek: try runing gnome-wm [21:34] hello [21:34] <_lord_x__> mixed_--_ an epert setup is a setup which fits your belongings.. i cant tell you your specially crafted setup.. as long im not your brain [21:34] guys i just updated to intrepid, and am having xorg issues. i can get into it with dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg, but when i then try to enable the 177 driver it won't enable, any ideas? [21:34] Spherous didnt want to remove anything? [21:34] wich command for see all the sevices ? [21:34] that doesnt sound right... [21:34] eight hours to complete the upgrade, im just gonna stick with 8.04 for now [21:34] Hello folks. I was wanting to know, if I am using Hardy currently, and I want to upgrade to Intrepid, do I have to change anything in source.list (other than 3rd party stuff) or can I just apt-get update upgrade dist-upgrade? Also, would it be better to use aptitude for this process? [21:34] there might be some apt pinning going on [21:34] the nvidia driver btw [21:34] <_lord_x__> deviosa : netstat -tulpen [21:34] try exploring your /etc/apt directory [21:34] hi guys, I just upgraded from 8.04 to 8.10 and I'm in need of help, the libgl1-mesa-dev package is reported broken, how do I fix it ? [21:34] i have the nvidia 177 driver enabled, and the display of windows is faulty... how can i correct this? [21:34] but i'm not fully certain [21:34] Asara: how about a restart... [21:34] hey all [21:34] MetalHeadDead hours to complete the upgrade, im just gonna stick with 8.04 for now [21:35] ompaul o/ [21:35] nekostar: looking for what in it? [21:35] can dd made images be used in virtualbox? [21:35] abe3k, sudo apt-get dist-upgrade and see how it works ;-) [21:35] nekostar, o/ [21:35] djhash: i did that as well, which is why it took me so long to get back to the irc chan [21:35] hi i have a zonet modem with a motorola chipset, i installed ungrab_winmodem and slamr everything went fine wvdial recognizes my modem but when i dial it cant find the carrier, stupid mode doesnt help either, what could cause this? [21:35] this is my xorg.conf: http://pastebin.com/d4ef6460e [21:35] _Lord_x__ it's network services that, but if i want see for exemple "apache on" [21:35] Spherous perhaps it's prefering the 2.6.24 kernel - maybe try opening synaptic and seeing if you can install 2.6.27-7-generic [21:35] neunon: it should work out-of-the-box without modifications [21:35] : will this do the whole upgrade procedure again ? === _niek_ is now known as Niek [21:36] djhash: been googling, nVidia has some just released some drivers, but no word from ati yet about xorg 7.4.... [21:36] <_lord_x__> Deviosa: you should see the service listening on a specific port.. means its running [21:36] Hello. I just want to install Ubuntu 8.10 on my Ubuntu Studio 8.04, I actually want to keep my /home/ dictionaries and remove\reinstall all packages of 8.04.. Is this possible? I had a bad problem with 8.04 and mono 2.0 result in stopping all mono-depends. [21:36] nekostar: nah, just gonna do a full redo~ its no big deal [21:36] hspaans: but yet, it needs tweaking. [21:36] <_lord_x__> deviosa: you could aslo try ps aux | grep apache [21:36] Spherous yeah sounds like it might be best [21:36] hspaans: surely not every machine uses the same LeftEdge, RightEdge, etc values. [21:36] nekostar: Yeah, hopefully I can get everything back tohow it was though === Vatovato_ is now known as donali [21:37] abe3k, no it will catch whatever you missed [21:37] neunon: What are you missing from the Synaptics docs? [21:37] _Lord_x__ just see apache on/raw off/powerd on/nmb off....... [21:37] neunon: I've put all current ways of configuring them in there. [21:37] hi, i have seen an encrypted root partition with ubuntu, asking for the password right after grub. how does this work? i want to do this manually on annother distribution [21:37] <_lord_x__> Deviosa: im not an apache expert sorry [21:37] ompaul : should I remove the broken pagkage first or just type in the command ? [21:37] is there any way to show like, showing all the files over 10gb on my hard drive? [21:37] do i have to make an own initrd? [21:37] nekostar, i managed to do use your super+scrolldown! The problem was that I accidentally also enabled zoom lock with super+L when I tried all combinations available to make me unzoom! But there is no key for unzoom now i can see in ccsm but i locked the zoom level! Thank you for your help! [21:37] what does the "RgbPath" keyword in xorg.conf mean ?

I was wanting to know, if I am using Hardy currently, and I want to upgrade to Intrepid, do I have to change anything in source.list (other than 3rd party stuff) or can I just apt-get update upgrade dist-upgrade?

Is it possible to install ubuntu 8.10 from a USB drive (256 MB) or my 30 Gig iPod? [21:39] neunon, as with xorg 7.4 it's "unnecessary" you can tsill have one if you want [21:39] Asara: Your card is likely unsupported by the new version of fglrx. What if you disable fglrx? [21:39] neunon: Which settings in particular? [21:39] purged/reinstalled networkmanager, problem was half-fixed; did it again, problem resolved itself. Weird. [21:39] Asara, short answer no, long answer you will need to do a fresh install [21:39] the DVD iso images at http://cdimage.ubuntu.com are reflecting the final release of Ubuntu 8.10 ?

[21:41] If there's a specialized case where I -need- a particular setting in there to correct something Xorg got wrong, then I can safely add it to xorg.conf and it will be respected? [21:41] Hello everyone. I was wanting to know, if I am using Hardy currently, and I want to upgrade to Intrepid, do I have to change anything in source.list (other than 3rd party stuff) or can I just apt-get update upgrade dist-upgrade? Also, would it be better to use aptitude for this process? [21:41] wgrant, do you think that it could work with different linux flavors? like ubuntu and freespire and 64studio???

Now that we've reached stable, what should I use to configure compiz with? [21:58] markw_: all mirror are up to date to at least RC-level and that is enough [21:58] It seems that ccsm is an old version [21:58] joaopinto-> odd, am using 7.10 right now.but thats where debootstap was dump when i apt-get install debootstrap [21:59] markw_: official mirrors that is [21:59] man, the torrent isn't downloading very fast today - I figured with all the people downloading intrepid, it'd be screaming [21:59] n8tuser, so it must have changed with the recent releases... [21:59] cyrax: What gives you that idea? [21:59] hspaans: kernel.org is official I assume... :) That's where I've been pointed for the last 10+ years. [21:59] n8tuser: Gutsy's debootstrap won't know about Intrepid... [22:00] joaopinto-> it must have, curios if anyone here tried using debootstrap for installation of 8.10 [22:00] wgrant - apt-cache tells me so [22:00] markw_: just use your country mirror [22:00] n8tuser, I did, on hardy [22:00] i have found a way better way to formulate my question: Which ubuntu person can i pay to get him/her to fix my wireless connection on my aspire one (running ubuntu 8.10) ? [22:00] n8tuser, and also now, on intrepid [22:00] hspaans: looks like some underlying apt stuff gon awry, I'll have to dig in and fix it. [22:00] wgrant-> how does scripts for debootstrap gets added? [22:00] hspaans: reminds me of running sid. [22:00] nohup: Atheros?

[22:03] when i go to upgrade to 8.10, i get this: "This computer is currently using the NVIDIA 'nvidia' graphics driver. No version of this driver is available that works with your video card in Ubuntu 8.10.". Will I be left without a driver, or will I get an alternative installed?

[22:06] compiz 3d windows doesn't work on my 8.10 - does a control alt backspace thingy [22:06] hspaans: okay, thanks [22:06] as soon as i rotate the cube [22:06] ok i will try torrentz [22:06] pvinis, here you go http://releases.ubuntu.com/intrepid/ubuntu-8.10-desktop-i386.iso.torrent [22:06] anyone played levelhead? [22:07] thx i found one [22:07] assuming you need 32bit [22:07] wih is the best option for an intel core quad ubuntu 32 or 64? [22:07] i am dling the 64bit one [22:07] stimpie: I know exactly what you need hold on let me find it [22:07] openarena 0.8.0 seems to work but sometimes the front end corrupts visually and you have to reload [22:07] wich [22:07] 64bit seems fine but no java in firefox 3.0.3 [22:07] Poldie, do you have compiz enabled ? [22:07] you must be kidding [22:07] wgrant: i installed it from scratch.. wasn't an update from the beta... i guess that's why all the 'workarounds' aren't working for me... [22:07] Poldie, there is a java plugin for firefox on amd64 [22:07] anyone else having a hard time with the us ubuntu mirrors? apt-get upgrade is taking me forever for apps, < 1k sec [22:08] anyone got nvidia problem solved ? i can't enable or activate my nvidia [22:08] in ibex [22:08] kris_, release day overload [22:08] so joao irmao wich is the best optioni? [22:08] I've been having some trouble with my Atheros WiFi card. Network Manager seems to disable it when I suspend my computer, and doesn't "forget" the AP's. Therefor, if I move it tries to connect to an AP that isn't there. Has anyone else been having this problem [22:08] joa: yes, compiz is fine (rotate cube, wobbly windows) but not 3d windows. as soon as i rotate the sessoins reboots [22:08] joaopinto: new release today? woah didn't know [22:08] bingungaja: for 8.10? [22:08] kris_: thousands of people are upgradig, it's normal [22:08] hspaans : yes [22:08] travis_, I am using amd64, your choise :) [22:08] ok, no worries then [22:08] choice [22:08] btw.. i love ubuntu:p [22:08] How do we know if our machine is recognizing both cores? System-monitor is only showing one. [22:08] much faster to download alternate cd through torrent and upgrade from that [22:08] joa: can't get java working in the browser though. tried ice tea but it's only partially working [22:08] java and flash working fine? [22:08] what partition type do I use for /boot ? [22:09] Have they fix the bug that made it impossible to start ubuntu with an usb connected? [22:09] porter1: systemp monitor shows all 4 cores on my pc in 64bit [22:09] rubbs-> i think it is common, so you have to re-associate to the nearest workin AP instead of relying on whats in the cache [22:09] usb-disk * [22:09] I need help getting sound/video working on my g45 motherboard. [22:09] Wavesonics: why not ext3? [22:09] Mulder: nope, that didn't work either, i even tried your xorg.conf but it just told me (after i rebooted) that the device didn't exist [22:09] Poldie, for some reason, it isn't on mine. Is there a certain package that has to be included to utilize both cores? [22:09] im about to install 8.10 but i dont know wich version to get for an intel core quad 32 or 64 bit [22:09] rubbs: I gave up on network manager and switched to wicd which does the job perfectly for me [22:09] porter1, cat /proc/cpuinfo [22:09] Ok, i'm using cfdisk, for type what do I put? 83 - Linux ? [22:09] travis_, both work fine [22:09] travis_: 32bit, its easier [22:10] joaopinto: so what is this plug in? where? think it should be made obvious somewhere as without it there isn't really a functioning browser for ubuntu 8.10 64 bit, which is a little poor [22:10] n8tuser: The problem is that it won't find any of the AP's that are actually there [22:10] Anyone? I really want to get my usb-disk working again... [22:10] but what is the difference? [22:10] hspaans: found it... "main" was missing in sources.list [22:10] bingungaja: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/releasenotes/810#nVidia%20%22legacy%22%20video%20support [22:10] travis_: you can use either.. 64bit is not completely mature yet.. but it works nicely on my machine [22:10] i cant use desktop effects with two users at the same time, how do i do this? [22:10] porter1: sorry, mine just worked. . [22:10] Wavesonics: i dunno [22:10] Audio for my computer only works for one program at a time. If I have Skype running, then DVD movies or games have no audio... is there any way I can fix this? [22:10] hspaans: it's going now... [22:10] rubbs-> do it manually, sudo iwlist wlan0 scan [22:10] phil99: I'm not a huge fan of wicd, but I may have to do it. Thanks [22:10] joaopinto, it is only reporting processor 0 [22:10] hspaans : ok i go there first [22:10] LightTitan: I think thats a skype bug [22:10] n8tuser : thanks [22:10] hello, I have installed the packages libqglviewer2 and libqglviewer-dev in ubuntu hardy. But when I compile a project which is linked with the -lqglviewer option, I get a "undefined reference to `QGLViewer::~QGLViewer()'" and many more undefined references. [22:10] hspaans, wonder how long it will take them to update it? [22:10] And I'm on a dual core dell 1520 laptop. [22:11] porter1, it's the cores count field [22:11] Am I missing something? [22:11] markw_: auw ;-) [22:11] joaopinto, there is no field of that type. [22:11] Anyone around that could help out? i'm new to ubuntu and trying to load a livecd [22:11] ok, but take Skype out of the picture, dabh_intrepid, and it still happens. If I have a game running and attempt to run a movie or another game, the other game or movie has no audio [22:11] osubuck: update what? [22:11] does any one know how to enable desktop effects for two users at the same time? [22:11] hspaans, will the nv driver be fine to use for now? rather than the nvidia driver [22:11] !ask | mdizzle [22:11] ack, my hosting company had me on 7.10 .... *barf* [22:11] mdizzle: 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. :-) [22:12] Poldie, icedtea-gcjwebplugin [22:12] I just love ubuntu 8.10 :D [22:12] lol thnx [22:12] hello all simple question... how do u recursively grep a directory for a sentence like '//my Drupal comment that i forgot about :)'. i know i put it in one of the files in a directory but unsure which file [22:12] porter1, grep cores /proc/cpuinfo [22:12] pr0fane: yeah, 8.07 doesn't cut it. :) [22:12] would someone mind PMing me for help with partitioning? i've installed ubuntu before but i have a bigger harddrive now and its confusing :P [22:12] hmmm, for my workstation should I do ubuntu or kubuntu [22:12] mongolai, grep -r [22:12] what should I do if suspend to disk fails to resume but just hangs after a while, with a garbled screen (8.10)? [22:12] monk12, ..^ also man grep [22:12] joaopinto, returns nothing [22:12] lhamil64: whats the problem? [22:12] When loading off the CD, the computer seems to start up and shows the Ubuntu logo/load screen but shortly after my video goes black and the monitor gets no video signal [22:12] hspaans: wonder how main got dropped from the list, initial upgrade was just "sudo update-manager -d" [22:13] monk12, grep -r [22:13] monk12, grep -r 'search' *.c [22:13] hspaans : i'd read the release note, stated there for nvidia 177, should only work for high CPU such as intel pentium 3 or higher, mine is core2duo, but still can't activate the driver ;( [22:13] porter1, it reports 2 on me :\ [22:13] if I'm running 8.10 beta, should a distribution upgrade box appear? [22:13] i'm just going to ask my question in the channel then.. [22:13] =( [22:13] hmm, bah, the testing wine in their own repos breaks sound in spotify [22:13] i had trouble usin grep -r for some reason testing a file i knew had a sentence. ill try it again. thanks guys [22:13] I have a 64bit turian, Should I use 32bit or 64bit intrepid? Because I fear some drivers may not run as good under 64bit. [22:13] I thought upgrading to intrepid might fix it [22:13] when i go in to resize my Windows partition [22:13] danbh_intrepid, did you catch that last part I said? [22:13] osubuck: welcome to the world of blobs. this is a reason why I don't truss those solutions [22:13] mdizzle, have you tried the other boot options like safe graphics? [22:13] ok guys I got a pretty simple question... i'm tired of dealign with the atl2 driver, since aparantly it still wont work in even 8.10.. I need suggestions on a NIC that wont have issues with ubuntu? [22:13] is there a way to roll back to the wine in the ubuntu repos without removing it and reinstalling it? [22:13] joaopinto: tried that. that's what's got it partially working, but i have to use an applet to log into my work pc, so i cant' really demonstrate the failure, but the applet loads up and you have to click on onscreen buttons and type text, but it's ignoring keyboard input. it worked fine on 8.04 32bit. [22:13] what do the following mean: [22:13] is their a way to downgrade SATA drivers [22:13] pavs_, if you are afraid, just run the 32 bits version [22:14] btw whats diff between grep and egrep? [22:14] can anyone point me to a url of ubuntu 8.10's default wallpaper? [22:14] monk12 - egrep is more advanced [22:14] Free Space Preceding and Free Space Following [22:14] LightTitan: yeah, I dunno. I don't think I have that problem. so I cant help I don't think [22:14] No, guess that might not be a bad idea, is it in the boot option? tried a livecd version of Vixta and it does same thing [22:14] hspaans, i have an nvidia geforce4 mx 4000 which would use the 96.xxx nvidia driver, if i use the normal NV driver will i still be able to run my native 1440x900 resolution and will i have any problems playing videos? [22:14] monk12, egrep is the same as grep -E [22:14] danbh_intrepid, k thanks anyhow [22:14] Anyone have any experience with Sansa e250 v2's and Ubuntu ? I can't seem to get it to detect the player. I've tried both MTP and MSC, even installed mtptools, didn't help... [22:14] joaopinto: also i tried a page someone posted to ubuntuforums and it crashes firefox [22:15] Flare183: According to the link on help.ubuntu.org, the aiglx code has been rolled into the xorg server already. So I'm not sure what you are suggesting. [22:15] egrep uses a lot more regular expressions [22:15] gotcha extended regexes thanks [22:15] ok, anyone got any ideas on the graphics front for ATI and X.org 7.4? i've tried installing every single package with the name fglrx in it, edited the xorg.conf but i still can't get out of the low grpahics mode [22:15] can somebody answer my question (above) about how to use the libqglviewer package? [22:15] Poldie, I said there was a plugin available, not that it worked for everything :P [22:15] Does anyone know about gParted and resizing partitons? [22:15] osubuck: the only nvidea I use is with Sun Solaris [22:15] mdizzle, yes there's an option screen that displays for 30 seconds that has safe graphics and also VGA options [22:15] what was that payed support channel again? (scrolbuffer filled up) [22:15] ahh, latest kernel upgrade (about 5min ago) on ibex broke my sound. [22:15] lhamil64: yup [22:15] lhamil64: what do you want to know about gParted ? [22:15] how do I downgrade to the last kernel? [22:16] nohup, there is no paid support channel, you need to buy support services from canonical [22:16] oooh [22:16] fuck that :) [22:16] DasEi1: Can you explain what these mean: Free space preceding and Free Space following [22:16] ok guys I got a pretty simple question... i'm tired of dealign with the atl2 driver, since aparantly it still wont work in even 8.10.. I need suggestions on a NIC that wont have issues with ubuntu?

[22:16] ooh, sorry :) [22:16] what does family friendly mean? [22:16] i kinda swear alot :) [22:16] DmitriyV: Intel Pro/100 always works [22:16] -/ [22:16] travis_: depends on the family [22:16] joaopinto: is there an easy way of just using a 32 bit firefox with 32 bit java/flash (i need both)? i tried on 8.04 32 bit but didn't get anywhere (it was an old help page I found and some files had gone and the newer ones didn't seem to work)... do you recommend giving this a go? [22:17] my family swaer a lot! [22:17] I installed ubuntu 8.10 on the second partition of a macbook. Now OSX boots normally, but grub never comes up. How can I get grub to show up so I can dual boot? [22:17] swear [22:17] lhamil64: if you resize a partit.by lowering it's size it frees space before or behind it [22:17] travis_: however generally it means no swearing [22:17] I tried a few things, re-configured my whole Xorg.conf, but I still don;t have window borders .. :( [22:17] It means that a paranoid mom wouldn't take offense to what is said in here =) [22:17] travis_: my family doesn't swear at all. :) [22:17] Poldie, that should be easy to do using a chroot... [22:17] well mine does [22:17] chroot? [22:17] i love swearing [22:17] at any rate my sound broke from the kernel upgrade [22:17] but i love those bastards anyway [22:17] it makes life better and easier :) [22:17] nohup: enjoy it all you want in your house. :) [22:17] niek: no window borders means the you don't have a window manager [22:17] thanks hspaans, cause I'm tired of dealing with atl2 drivers lol. on the .19 kernel i ahd it working with a precompield file, but once the updates rolled out I've had no luck [22:17] Poldie, you would install a minimal 32bits system into a directory [22:18] shane2peru: im not even in my own house! :) [22:18] DasEi1: I have a 160gb hard drive and I want to set 80gb to Windows and 80gb to Ubuntu. What should these values be? should I juse leave them alone except for the New Size one? [22:18] I am trying to run a java .jar file... i have sun's jre installed.. but typing "java" at the command reports commadn not found. [22:18] joaopinto: an install of firefox, or a complete 32bit ubuntu install? [22:18] what am i missing [22:18] java [22:18] Flare183, I just changed the input box color by customizing the theme that sort of solves it [22:18] does anyone know how I can roll back the previous kernel? [22:18] wgrant: is the backport and the ndiswrapper the only workaround ? cause i'm a bit hessistant when it comes to installing ndiswrapper :) it sounds so... hacky :) [22:19] Poldie, a complete ubuntu 32 bits install as in, the required libs to run firefox32 [22:19] was the new version released today? [22:19] Edbuntu: yes [22:19] Edbuntu: yep. :) [22:19] Edbuntu, yes [22:19] no [22:19] is there an upgrade? [22:19] Edbuntu: yes [22:19] Edbuntu: yes [22:19] no [22:19] cool ill go hunt it down [22:19] lhamil64: I'd suggest you first install ubuntu and give it 80 GB, then use rest for windows, then see : [22:19] alesd_____ thank you [22:19] !grub [22:19] GRUB is the default Ubuntu boot manager.

But when I compile a project which is linked with the -lqglviewer option, I get a "undefined reference to `QGLViewer::~QGLViewer()'" and many more undefined references. Is this package incomplete? [22:19] when I start the command "DISPLAY=:0 metacity --replace &", my window borders appear, but my compiz fails [22:20] could someone help me get nvidia drivers working in intrepid [22:20] joaopinto: uh...i've been using linux (ubuntu 8.04.1) for about 6 weeks now - not sure i can do that. what would i google for to find a tutorial? (cheers for the help so far, by the way)! [22:20] and when I start compiz again, the window borders are gone [22:20] so it sounds like compiz bug [22:20] joaopinto: oops - just noticed that link -thanks! [22:20] raevol: system -> administration -> hardware drivers [22:20] lets check the compiz channel [22:20] jrib: doesnt work [22:20] raevol: be more specific [22:20] raevol : same here, doesn't work too [22:20] hspaans, looks like i'll just burn it and test out the live cd then :) [22:21] stimpie: ok [22:21] lhamil64:you wouldn't need gparted for a fresh install, anyway then [22:21] google tells me that jockey doesnt support the new drivers [22:21] Poldie, there was a cleaner how-to for it, but I can't find it :( [22:21] i've got windows already installed though, should i just run the installer and manually edit the partitions [22:21] i tried installing them through synaptic and using nvidia-xonfig, no dice [22:21] when I search in synaptic, I only get the 2.6.27-7 kernel, and nothing even close to that one. [22:22] I need the one I just upgraded from. [22:22] Is there any eta for Ubuntu supporting java? [22:22] I installed ubuntu 8.10 on the second partition of a macbook. Now OSX boots normally, but grub never comes up. How can I get grub to show up so I can dual boot? [22:22] shane2peru, you can't use an older kernel [22:22] Is it possible to port forward with a dynamic IP? [22:22] Are msttcorefonts installed by default on intrepid because I can't find an intrepid package for them? [22:22] wouldn't that be 2.6.27-4 [22:22] When I installed Ubuntu a few hours ago i noticed it did not recognize my Windows XP installation , I also cannot see it in the GRUB menu, any suggestions on how to get access to winxp back again? [22:22] joaopinto: ok, so how do I roll back? [22:22] Can someone help me i got problem when i downloaded ubuntu 8.10 [22:22] lhamil64: I c, no then : defrag windows, run geparted, rezise it to 80 gb (pressuming the drive isn't filled more up ) [22:22] Simon1245: Yes [22:22] Hi I'm using ndiswrapper for my wireless card but would like to switch the driver to madwifi... How do I change drivers? [22:22] Glu3, the port has nothing to do with the ip, you can forward ports [22:22] Simon1245: best to just ask the channel your question. If someone knows the answer, they will try to answer you [22:22] joaopinto: oh, Ihave been using ibex for a week now. [22:22] shane2peru, you can't, you need a fresh install to roll back to a previous ubuntu release [22:23] !ask | Simon1245 [22:23] Simon1245: 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. :-) [22:23] AnonDan: Depends on which card you are talking about [22:23] shane2peru, so what is your problem with the current kernel ? [22:23] paul__ can you mount the windows partition from the ubuntu enviromnent ? [22:23] !ntfs | aLeSD____ [22:23] joaopinto: my sound worked before the latest kernel release, it was just updated today. [22:23] aLeSD____: To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions - For write access, see !NTFS-3g or !FUSE [22:23] aLeSD____, yes [22:23] joaopinto: just the kernel, I have been running ibex for a week now. [22:24] csilk: so edit the menu.* in /boot/grub ... [22:24] macbook [22:24] and it worked better before it was released. lol :) [22:24] Flare183: I have a Belkin F5D7000 ver. 5000 [22:24] nuit!! [22:24] csilk: if u are able ... I don't know if ubuntu has a front end for that [22:24] shane2peru, oh.. that upgrade [22:24] i have a private key with a password that i use to connect to other hosts.. but now i want to run a cron job that rsyncs files from one host to another.. this of course fails, since the cron process haven't got access to my ssh-agent.. how can i solve this? [22:24] AnonDan: Ok hold on [22:24] !ntfs | aLeSD____ [22:24] aLeSD____: To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions - For write access, see !NTFS-3g or !FUSE [22:25] Tried to upgrade 8.04 to 8.10....says my system is already up to date....why can't I see the new release [22:25] I just want to try the madwifi drivers but i'm not sure how to temporarily remove ndiswrapper, or how to switch drivers [22:25] how do you install grub on a mac? [22:25] Flare183: thanks [22:25] I got problem when i downloaded Ubuntu 8.10 when i start it and take it, it's Coming to a black screen and there it's stands [Fail] in red text first line is /dev/sda6: duplicated or bad blocks in use! and the las line is bash: no job control in this shell [22:25] DasEi1: I'm sort of back at the beginning now (lol) I thought, "well I think that gParted will be easier to resize a partition" so I opened it and i really don't know what to put in for values when I go to resize my Windows partiton [22:25] !upgrading > jeffrey1 [22:25] joaopinto: right it is really rather new, and broke my sound. [22:25] jeffrey1, please see my private message [22:25] i'm hating this move to upgrade to 8.10 right now, i have tried to fix this problem with my ati drivers for ages now and nothing works, and to downgrade to hardy i have to fresh install, which is a pain [22:25] zamba: ssh-keygen [22:25] AnonDan: np [22:25] zamba: the easy solution I see is to generate a key with no password [22:25] Are msttcorefonts installed by default on intrepid because I can't find an intrepid package for them? [22:25] Are the Repo servers down? [22:25] hspaans: generate a new set of keys for that use? [22:25] shane2peru, this new kernel was expected to bring a security fix related to network, it shouldn't have mess with your sound [22:25] I got problem when i downloaded Ubuntu 8.10 when i start it and take it, it's Coming to a black screen and there it's stands [Fail] in red text first line is /dev/sda6: duplicated or bad blocks in use! and the las line is bash: no job control in this shell [22:25] jrib: that's what i thought as well.. [22:25] Thedjatclubrock: just slow because of the release today [22:25] chrisptzr: I'm fighting with the same problem...

[22:26] AnonDan: This should help: http://madwifi.org/wiki/Compatibility/Belkin [22:26] joaopinto: well, that is great, because I have now sound. [22:26] zamba: yes without an password and update your ssh_config so those keys are only used in that situation [22:26] AnonDan: If it doesn't l let me know [22:26] zamba: yep [22:26] let me know* [22:26] Thedjatclubrock: yes, they are overloaded.

Just don't know how to load it instead of ndiswrapper (which loads by default) [22:27] lhamil64: you're on live- cd now ?

[22:28] jrib i click activate, it pops up a little window and works, then closes it and stays unactivated [22:28] Asara, I'll tell you in 30 mins after i get intrepid on my ATI desktop, only got it on my intel laptop right now (unless anyone else answers you first [22:28] I think so [22:28] raevol: what happens when you reboot? [22:28] jrib and then when i restart my x crashes [22:28] raevol: what card? [22:28] lhamil64: you could use that, but in your question I see you're not very familar with it, so I'd suggest you to d/l the gparted-live cd, which offers a better support for that, nice tool anyway [22:28] last question on grep. how do u suppress files that arent binary. seems to just give output saying found match in binary like 'Binary file php5ts.dll matches'. id rather not output binary matches. didnt see an option in man-ning grep for doing that. [22:28] I think i have same problem as raevol [22:28] jrib 7800 agp [22:28] joaopinto: is there anything I can do to troubleshoot it first? [22:29] csilk, ok...i'm running on an old laptop, with a Mobility Radeon 9700...so pretty old [22:29] monk12: I just pipe to 'grep -v ^Binary', but there may be a better solution [22:29] hey who knows where to get the panel background added to the live cd? [22:29] Asara, ah rite, i got a Radeon 2400 HD so we might be using different drivers lol [22:29] nikolajsheller1: looks like you can get by holding down "alt" when you boot. A bit of a pain, but whatever. [22:29] raevol: have you tried any other methods to enable the nvidia driver? [22:30] torrent so slow we need more people to share it [22:30] seeeeed people seeed [22:30] lhamil64: http://downloads.sourceforge.net/gparted/gparted-live-0.3.9-4.iso?modtime=1222872844&big_mirror=0 [22:30] DasEi1: I could just try to do it in the installer or something and then hope i did it right :) this isn't my main machine and the xp install is pretty fresh so I don't really care if i hose it [22:30] jrib i tried the hardware drivers thing and i tried manually getting the packages and using nvidia-xconfig [22:30] csilk, yeah...that's the problem...if the newer fglrx drivers don't support my card that sucks [22:30] in case anyone is looking for something to do tonight, linuxjournal.com/live starts at 7:30 CDT :) "horror stories from the command line" woo hoo!

So then firefox doesn't offer to install it [22:42] dimedo : install fglrx [22:42] dimedo install/update the radeon drivers [22:42] raevol: alright, purge all your nvidia stuff (including the packages for the kernel modules) [22:43] what's the prob post-break [22:43] jrib roger sec [22:43] sybariten, already installed. each time i start ubuntu, i'm being informed about ubuntu running in low graphics mode [22:43] DasEi1: I think i might get off for the night now though, i will try over the weakend. if i can't get it to work I will come back === ap is now known as apw [22:43] jrib, yeah I guess that makes sense [22:43] hi egosintrick I have a specific area i want all my users to be able to go wild in [22:43] my vpnc connection keeps timing out. how do i stop that? [22:43] they would be trusted users but not root [22:43] how would i go about setting that up? [22:43] good evening [22:43] csilk: it's never worked on youtube. What needs to happen is that the extension should detect that a user visits youtube.com and then it should trigger the install :) [22:43] jrib done [22:44] DasEi1: I will stay on for a little, but i will be afk. ill check the chat when i get back [22:44] anyone with trouble on ubuntu 8.1? [22:44] lhamil64: check gparted-live !!

[22:45] jrib no, one sc [22:45] Ben1: no, ask your question [22:45] is there anyway to get proper 3d accell on intel gfx cards in X? [22:45] any 1 know of a good way to do RAID10 during 8.10 server install? [22:45] noclueguy:the longer you drive, the more holes are in the street [22:45] RAID10? I've never heard of that [22:45] why do i have all this lag when i move my screens in xinerama?? i get 2400fps easely [22:45] noclueguy: best to just ask the channel your question. If someone knows the answer, they will try to answer you [22:45] What there's an issue with that I got that chipset. Does it a kernel panic? [22:45] RAID 1+0 [22:46] perscitus: r u here [22:46] jrib done [22:46] how do I check the integrity of my iso again? I just downloaded it with utorrent in my windows partition. hehe [22:47] !md5sum!wers [22:47] Sorry, I don't know anything about md5sum!wers [22:47] think you can do a selftest after you bootet from the burned disc [22:47] can ubuntu easily be installed on an existing xp sp3 comp? or will it be complications? [22:47] DasEi1 you need to know about md5sum ? [22:47] raevol: what does 'uname -r' return by the way? [22:47] noclueguy yes there's a disk check menu [22:47] hahalla: good question [22:47] How many hard drives are necessary for a RAID 1+0? [22:47] wers:there is a menuoption in the installer and also check the md5sum [22:47] Ubuntu 8.10, anyone know hwo to get the Nvidia to work with A GeForce 6150 LE [22:47] 2.6.27-7-generic [22:47] bungieQord 4 [22:47] jrib 2.6.27-7-generic [22:47] raevol: ok [22:48] nekostar:no, it's for wers [22:48] nekostar, do they have to be all the same size? [22:48] sorry just trying to higlight :P [22:48] raid 0 on two to create one volume raid 1 [mirror] two of those and get your 10 [22:48] raevol: now lets install nvidia-glx-177 and see what happens [22:48] well screw this, i'll wait a couple of days and hope that a supported driver or a fix comes out for my ATI Mobility Radeon 9700, if not i'm wiping the system and reverting back to 8.04 [22:48] hahalla: yes. [22:48] jrib roger [22:48] Yea that was my question to the guy who asked about checking the iso. I first burn and then check it :-) [22:48] bungieQord should be, however it could possibly use the smallest disk size if your lucky [22:48] DasEi1, but i will have to burn this first right? i wanna check the .iso's integrity first [22:48] i am trying to get a dvd to play and it wont in either video player or vlc, any ideas? [22:48] Hey guys! How can I know which video driver I'm using? [22:48] but yes. [22:48] hi, I am having MAJOR issues with my new monitor. I had an old VGA cable that was defective in the red channel, but it could give me a resolution of 1280x1024. I bought a new cable, and now I can't get anything above 640x480. HELP!!! [22:48] I have a question about the Dynamic Kernel Module Support tool: is it enabled by default and if so can I expect to be able to update the kernel without breaking third party drivers? [22:48] my sister has ubuntu 8.04 on her computer, and audio worked in totem, but not in flash, why? [22:48] hahalla: do you want to keep windows? [22:48] doggymenz apt-cache search lib flash [22:48] !md5sum|wers [22:48] wers: To verify the integrity of a download, use the md5sum - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM for more [22:48] amake sure that result is in there [22:49] nekostar, oh, thanks [22:49] hey if i downloaded the intrepid AMD64 desktop cd, how can i use it to upgrade from 8.04? [22:49] doggymenz: known issue with flash and 8.04. It's resolved in 8.10 [22:49] wers are you on windows or linux btw [22:49] you can check first [22:49] thanks DasEi1 [22:49] !upgrade > HorizonXP [22:49] HorizonXP, please see my private message [22:49] np, wers [22:49] on my ubuntu now nekostar [22:49] in linux: md5sum /path/to/iso [22:49] HorizonXP: try just inserting it..

[22:50] I'm trying to update to 8.10 but on the "cleaning up" part the window is going between responsive and unresponsive. Is something wrong? [22:50] nekostar: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [22:50] hahalla: will be as easy as putting the cd in your computer, rebooting, and booting from the cd then [22:50] jrib: i saw that, but it says to use the alternate desktop CD [22:50] Does anyone know how to get the sound drivers to work on a new Dell STUDIO 17???? I was hoping going from 8.10RC to 8.10 they would have fixed it....but still no sound :( [22:50] Did Ubuntu drop xorg.conf? Coz there's no info on the driver the system is using. [22:50] shush bot i fat fingered it [22:50] ouch scrollkeeper just exploded updating database. :( [22:50] come on, I have a MAJOR issue! [22:50] wers:http://ie.releases.ubuntu.com/8.10/MD5SUMS [22:50] nvm nekostar. i found the md5 here http://releases.ubuntu.com/8.10/ [22:50] Anyone having trouble getting the files to download when upgrading to 8.10? [22:50] HorizonXP: ah right. You can't use the desktop cd to upgrade [22:50] jrib taking a minute i'll let you know when it's done [22:50] thanks Juanelone haha [22:50] void___: I think it autodetects most of the settings [22:50] jdsbluedevl: have you tried booting from a live-cd? [22:50] jdsbluedevl: what is your major issue? [22:51] jrib: BOOOURNS... so.... options? [22:51] Ubuntu 8.10, anyone know hwo to get the Nvidia to work with A GeForce 6150 LE [22:51] void___: but I'm pretty sure it will still pick up any settings you put in the file.. and overrider the ones it detects [22:51] jdsbluedevl: can't be anything compared to my 2nd monitor not working. :) [22:51] HorizonXP: just use update-manager? Or download the alt cd [22:51] all I know is that with my old defective cable, I was able to get 1280x1024 [22:51] * markw_ notes it sucks only having 1 24" wide display working. [22:51] I got trouble on my laptop and my desktop. Desktop comes to ask my about the time zone and then gets a kernel panic (Num- and Scroll- lock blink). And the laptop gets a white screen of death. Can I do something about that. To the specs. Laptop got ATI-Mobility Radeon 3650... The desktop is pretty standard intel 950GEV Mainboard 4 Gigs of RAM. 3GHZ-P3 and Nvidia 6800 GTX... [22:51] time flies so fast. it's already 8.10. hehe [22:51] jdsbluedevl: have you tried booting from a live-cd? [22:51] as for php and mysql, ubuntu is far better and faster than xp on this area, and uses less ram? [22:51] and now I can't get anything above 640x480 [22:51] no, not yet [22:52] does anyone know how to get the sound to work on a Dell Studio 17 laptop....????????????????? [22:52] Slart: I just want to know if it uses standard "vesa" or not. [22:52] Hello [22:52] jdsbluedevl: try that. [22:52] jdsbluedevl: i find it hard to belive it has something to do with the cable [22:52] jrib: that stinks, i just spent my download bandwidth for nothing then [22:52] meh i dont see the one liner [22:52] void___: check the file /var/log/xorg.0.log [22:52] thx will see [22:52] HorizonXP: do you have /home on a separate partition? [22:52] b3lorixx yeah just use jockey-gtk and select one of the two older nvidia drivers [22:52] void___: I think it will tell you what driver it's using.. and mode etc etc [22:52] i think theres a 7x and a 9x [22:52] jrib: yes I do [22:53] necko-star: what is jokygtk [22:53] does anyone else have any sound issues with the 8.10 release? [22:53] Hullo again :) sb any idea where those wallpapers are? :) [22:53] b3lorixx that's the bit that lets you select the restricted vid driver's [22:53] ok, booting off 7.10 Live CD right now [22:53] I have a question. Can I upgrade a hardy wubi installation to intrepid? [22:53] HorizonXP: well you can use !clone (and some poking if packages have been renamed), do a fresh install, and then just setup your /home again [22:53] in terminal run: jockey-gtk [22:53] @Exposure101 Yes me [22:53] jdsbluedevl: 7.10 ??? wtf? [22:53] Wil RC update to Full Release? [22:53] !clone [22:53] To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « dpkg --get-selections > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo dpkg --set-selections < my-packages && sudo apt-get dselect-upgrade » - See also !automate [22:53] !final | Thedjatclubrock [22:53] Thedjatclubrock: If you installed a Alpha/Beta/RC version of Ubuntu 8.10 (Intrepid Ibex) and have been keeping it up to date, then you are already running the latest version of Intrepid. To make sure, type « sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade » in a console. [22:53] noclueguy: im guessing we are in the same boat then....noting your name [22:53] hey, it's the only Live CD I could find right now [22:54] i'm burning intrepid with 3x speed. is that _too_ safe? haha [22:54] jdsbluedevl: ok let us know how it goes.

Is something wrong? [22:54] wers no such thing lol [22:54] So is the new system cool or what? Mine is installing. Can't wait :) [22:54] wers: i burnt at 2x just in case! [22:54] HorizonXP: you should have a pretty comparable result to upgrading then (ie the apps you have installed now will be installed still). If you have any other custom stuff outside of /home, then you need to back that up of course [22:54] hehe [22:54] yo [22:54] b3lorixx ah.. try installing via synaptic [22:54] wers: only going to install it once so it has to wokr!

[23:03] acemo: it might be hanging on whatever it's trying to do after checking the battery [23:03] fmer always burn at the lowest speed [23:03] okay [23:03] jrib, right i want to install the basic files that come with ubuntu, can i make my self clear ? [23:03] slart , sigh. ok i hope ubuntu or webmin fixes the issues soon, until then i guess its all about command line [23:03] fmer let wubi download the iso [23:03] Has the Flasth and Java in 64Bit working Right? or should i just stick to 32bit? got a 2.2gig processor and 3 Gig of Ram...Don't know fi 64 bit would be a big difference, what yall think? [23:03] LF|Irssi: hehe.. yea.. have you tried that other one.. the one that's designed for ubuntu? [23:03] tilde: I have limited bandwidth i can use, and 700mb for one day would be enough :/ [23:03] !webmin [23:03] Slart: yeah.. probably, but what would be the next thing its doing? [23:03] webmin is no longer supported in Debian and Ubuntu. It is not compatible with the way that Ubuntu packages handle configuration files, and is likely to cause unexpected issues with your system. See !ebox instead. [23:04] chamuscas: you need to figure out exactly what packages you want to reinstall. Then you can do that with: sudo apt-get --reinstall install PACKAGE [23:04] tovella: where can I find an old version of my xorg.conf file? [23:04] or should I just delete it and let Ubuntu create a new one? [23:04] LF|Irssi: ebox.. that was it [23:04] na, i dont have any desire to try the alternatives either Slart [23:04] !ebox [23:04] ebox is a web-based GUI interface for administering a server. It is designed to work with Ubuntu/Debian style configuration management. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/eBox [23:04] fmer wubi wasnt all that reliable for me anyways. a graphics card update crashed and deleted my ubuntu/windows xp dual boot for some reason [23:04] AlabamaHit: I don't think amd64 will give you anything you don't have. I use it but I don't like flash, and it doesn't give me anything 32bit doesn't have either :) [23:04] jdsbluedevl: Any modified extension is an automatic backup [23:04] but it left grub for some reason [23:04] jrib, i'll try that but tanks in ahead [23:04] i've got an 8.04 live cd and the 8.10 iso file but not CD's... what can i do? [23:04] oh [23:04] acemo: I have no idea.. [23:04] raevol: alright, purge again, we'll check this time [23:04] 64 Bit is speedy. I love it. [23:04] Slart: great, me neither :) [23:04] yeah dont use wubi, live cd install, its WAY more reliable/faster [23:05] hey [23:05] hey [23:05] jdsbluedevl: ubuntu should have made a backup in /etc/X11... use the command [23:05] ls /etc/X11/xorg* [23:05] to see the versions that are there.

If it fails, try purging first [23:23] how do i upgrade to 8.10 from iso? im in 8.04 right now [23:23] Serraphyn: ah.. lexmark.. say no more.. [23:23] csilk:haven't tried on the release candidate yet, but the before's betta didnt allow neither nvidia nor ati propitary drivers [23:23] !upgrade > Mal3ko [23:23] but with new monitor+defective cable, resolution was ok [23:23] jdsbluedevl: is it the same model of monitor as before? [23:23] Serraphyn, Lexmark printers are troublesome. Linux support from Lexmark sucks... [23:23] Slart, isn't NDISwraper for NIC only? [23:23] !upgrade [23:23] Madpilot, I know [23:23] Madpilot, boy do I know [23:24] tovella: no, it's an LCD, old one was CRT [23:24] Mal3ko, please see my private message [23:24] Serraphyn: afaik it's used for all kinds of stuff.. it's used for flash for 64bit ubuntu [23:24] Gnea, mostly correct- for some reason, windows calls the physical disk with ubuntu on it "disk0", even though "disk1" is the physical disk that has the MBR [23:24] For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes [23:24] Thedjatclubrock: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBookPro [23:24] jrib, the headers is installing an nvidia module, should i try just nvidia-xconfig first and rebootin? [23:24] tovella: should I just let ubuntu re-create the xorg.conf file, then? [23:24] Thank you for the bot link, I never knew about that dialog option. [23:24] !mac > epifanio [23:24] epifanio, please see my private message [23:24] carpeliam: that's a bit... confusing, indeed. are they IDE or SATA? [23:24] raevol: I'd reinstall nvidia-glx-177. In any case, make sure you have nvidia loaded with lsmod or make sure you can load it with modprobe [23:24] i can't get fglxr running with a radeon 9600 card. each start i get a warning about low graphics mode where i can configure the driver. if i choose ati or fxglr and use the test button, i'm informed of an error in device configuration. any ideas? [23:25] jrib just loaded it with modprobe [23:25] hmm [23:25] DasEi1, it does now, this is, it says it's installed but i cant find the control center anywhere [23:25] jdsbluedevl: so it was working ok (at some point) with the new monitor, right? [23:25] raevol: cool :). Now setup your xorg.conf. You know how to do that? [23:25] jrib yea thanks, rebooting if i break something i'll fix it :) i'll let you know if this works [23:25] Ahhh....635 KB/S. The world is a funny place. I find this out when I'm 3/4 done lol. [23:25] tovella: yes [23:25] raevol: note that nvidia-xconfig makes stuff messier than it has to be [23:26] xchat connects here but channel list does not load or refresh. do i have to forward any ports to get channel list to work? [23:26] hmm.. I really need to stop installing so much weird stuff.. so many packages to update [23:26] Oooh...800. [23:26] but with the defective cable [23:26] Gnea, they are SATA. i have two partitions on each disk, and disk0 was the only one that had enough room for a new linux partition :/ do i need to have ubuntu on the same physical disk as the MBR? or more specifically, does the "/boot" partition need to be on the same physical disk as the MBR? [23:26] jrib roger just want to get it so i can launch nvidia-settings [23:26] automount doesn't seem to work in intrepid? [23:26] raevol: k [23:26] csilk:not in the apps menu (so in hardy) ? tried via cmd-line ? [23:26] well the site doesn mention anything abour upgrading from ubuntu dekstop iso [23:26] Does intrepid really have good wifi? I had huge problems trying to install atheros. [23:26] DasEi1, yeah I've used it on hardy and all was well, u cant find it anywhere in intrepid even though it's claiming to be installed [23:27] Mal3ko: it does. It says you can't upgrade from the desktop iso, only from the alternate iso [23:27] PassionFRUI7E: I think it's supposed to have "better" wifi.. don't know if you can call it "good" yet [23:27] jdsbluedevl: ok, then. if ubuntu used a failsafe xorg.conf, it should have made a backup on the date-time in question. [23:27] The only things I miss are Visual Studio and the good windows wifi =P [23:27] Okay thanks slart. [23:27] updating to 8.10: now a popup asks wether i want to override changes to /etc/pam.d/common* i have no clue what this is... anybody? [23:27] PassionFRUI7E: ndiswrapper can be used to fallback on [23:27] DasEi1, what's the bin/command to bring it up ? [23:27] elementz: if you have no clue, then just accept the maintainer's version [23:27] DasEi1, as it's not in the menus [23:27] anybody got a quick second for a question? [23:27] mutedecho: best to just ask the channel your question. If someone knows the answer, they will try to answer you [23:27] !pam | elementz [23:27] Sorry, I don't know anything about pam [23:27] !info pam [23:27] Package pam does not exist in intrepid [23:27] ActionParsnip: I tried using that. Installed successfully, then did ndiswrapper something -l and it said ndiswrapper doesnt exist. [23:27] elementz: pam is an authentication module I think.. [23:27] !ati [23:27] For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [23:28] carpeliam: yeah, grub should only be on the ubuntu system, and you should be able to change the boot sequence from the BIOS, and grub should pick up windows and make it a selection [23:28] Ok, here's the deal. Running Ubuntu and want to install a package that says it's for KDE. Can I still use it under gnome? [23:28] this was probably my best upgrade yet :O [23:28] Slart: yeah, found that out already...but thats it... [23:28] carpeliam: er, only on the ubuntu disk [23:28] mutedecho: sure, if you don't mind installing some KDE packages [23:28] PassionFRUI7E: theres a tonne of guicdes out there, try a few [23:28] mutedecho: yes.. you'll have to install some kde libs.. but it ought to work [23:28] anyone know much about nxclient and nxserver?? how come i cannot connect remotely to ubuntus nxserver. it works if i connect from local lan. but just not over internet. i have port forward port 22. still nothing. is there some firewall setting or soemthing that i need to enable??? please help. [23:28] mutedecho: yep. Anything you install through APT will grab everything it needs so you can use it [23:28] Ok, thanks a bunch! [23:28] anyone here tried icewm? [23:28] tilde: best to just ask the channel your question. If someone knows the answer, they will try to answer you [23:28] I'll keep trying. I still have a mesa problem that the official site doesn't fix. Dang new ATI cards. [23:28] tovella: yes, Ubuntu has a failsafe [23:29] jrib: I was under the impression 8.10 ignored xorg.conf for input devices. [23:29] jrib that was my question [23:29] ... [23:29] Hi. Is it possible to activate vsync in metacity to stop the tearing on the desktop when moving windows? I am using Ubuntu 8.10, Nvidia proprietary driver v177 with a 7800 GTX. [23:29] tilde: i sugest fluxbox :) [23:29] jdsbluedevl: you can complete the x-session stuff by using ctrl-alt-f2. login and cd to /etc/X11. cp (don't mv) the correct file onto xorg.conf. finally type "sudo invoke-rc.d gdm restart" that way you can make sure this works while the kernel update is taking place. [23:29] Hey, all. I have Ubuntu Intrepid Ibex and a GE Wireless Optical Mosue. Why won't Ubuntu detect the mouse? [23:29] im just trying icewm for the dual mouse cursor stuff [23:29] test [23:29] carpeliam: i would just boot from the livecd and tell grub to install to the MBR of disk1 (/dev/sdb?), then reboot and tell bios to boot HDD-1 before booting HDD-0 [23:29] itsatrick: I'm surprised it doesn't [23:29] philippe_: I'd imagine not in metacity, probably something you'd have to set within Xorg [23:29] Does anyone knows how to get "/dev/snd/hwC0D0" ???????????????? [23:30] itsatrick: no change if you unplug the reciever and plug it in again? [23:30] I installed Ubuntu 8.10 and I dont have it anymore :( [23:30] DasEi1, found it ;) [23:30] carpeliam: theoretically, you should still be able to boot into windows (if it's XP... if it's Vista, not sure..) and fix the MBR of disk0 from there [23:30] ceafu: I believe you can still override settings there (I may be wrong). You want to look into hotplug in any case [23:30] ijustam, ok [23:30] jrib it works, thank you so much i want to have your babies [23:30] Any news on chrome for linux? [23:30] tovella: have display back, but still bad resolution [23:30] raevol: no problem [23:30] PassionFRUI7E: ask google? [23:30] Does the intrepid release include a version for netbooks? [23:30] HtheB: are you sure that's what you need? [23:30] PassionFRUI7E: I think you'll have to ask google [23:30] Gnea, yeah [23:30] PassionFRUI7E: you can run it via wine [23:31] ceafu: what do you want to change? [23:31] Gnea, unfortunately my install CD is also botched :| so i'm downloading another one... we'll see how it goes :) but i'll try that [23:31] Good evening [23:31] HtheB: what's using it? [23:31] PassionFRUI7E: last I heard it was "coming when it's done" [23:31] Alsa [23:31] (sound) [23:31] carpeliam: okay :) [23:31] ok; I re-installed Nvidia drivers with Envy and now I am in 800x600 [23:31] jrib: I like asking the insiders =P You guys know stuff the day its released. Google isn't immediate. Lol thanks dude. [23:31] here's my question for the night: did they get rid of the "home location" feature in the clock app? [23:31] windows 7 was leaked [23:31] ha [23:31] Rape. [23:31] jrib thanks again, byes [23:31] hahaha [23:31] HtheB: really? I thought alsa would provide that... I was wondering what *program* used it.. [23:31] PassionFRUI7E: I mean ask the google company, not the search engine. It's up to them really [23:31] I thought official advice was to not use envy? [23:31] Gnea, I had to do some actions before I could use my soundcard [23:31] how can I install the Nvidia drivers? [23:31] jdsbluedevl: then it's the wrong version of the file. go back to the other terminal session (ctrl-alt-f2) and look for the one that corresponds to the date and time it last worked correctly. that should be the file you want. [23:31] Please, is anybody having problems connecting to a Nokia 6300 through a USB cable? [23:31] synaptic [23:31] well.... [23:31] HtheB: what soundcard? [23:31] if you cant figure out how to install nvidia drivers... [23:31] ok [23:31] csilk: officially, the new envy is ok [23:31] what I mean is: there is no hwC0D0 at all [23:32] ALC889 [23:32] Pensador: does it show up in sudo fdisk -l ? [23:32] jrib, ok cool [23:32] HtheB: id resetup sound [23:32] jrib: I'm not that worried =P I'm hoping to get into their Pittsburgh office as a Software Engineer. But I bet everyone wants in... [23:32] I'll try that, ActionParsnip [23:32] jrib. it appears 8.10 has the th.ree finger tap as right click by default. brand new install. I would like to use 2 fingers, or even better one finger in lower right [23:32] HtheB: is there anything in /dev/snd/ ? [23:32] Oh my god this built in dictionary is NICE! [23:32] yet again ubuntu has been flawless in dealing with my grfx card ;) [23:32] yeah: [23:32] Pensador: Linux has had trouble with most phones. I would suggest using bluetooth to transfer data, or flash memory. [23:32] PassionFRUI7E: in what app? [23:32] PassionFRUI7E: take a look at chromium. [23:32] I'm trying to write a shell script that will take a login name as an argument and output the home directory of the user, can anyone help a noob out? [23:32] HtheB: such as? [23:32] Itsatrick, I used to be able to do that with Hardy Heron [23:32] has anyone noticed a "better" PulseAudio in Ibex? [23:32] well, for the moment it worked, let's see what happens when I log in [23:32] ceafu: did you try using xorg.conf to set that up? [23:32] Gnea: controlC0 pcmC0D0c pcmC0D0p pcmC0D1p pcmC0D2c timer [23:32] dose the xbox 360 controller work with nexuiz? [23:33] Pensador: linux and cell phones are.. well.. more misses than hits afaik [23:33] From what I googled, there was a specific NEW bug with Nokia 6300 on kernel 2.6.27 [23:33] HtheB: okay. do you have a /dev/dsp? [23:33] Guys! How do I enable the nvidia driver on a presario 3317la? [23:33] Dextorion: I don't feel like installing wine. I'm going for a sleek system. I'll just boot up vista sometime if I want windows apps. [23:33] not yet, because I thought it ignored it, but I'll try and find out in about 10 minutes [23:33] But no one ever mentioned it again from 2.6.27-5 [23:33] csilk: which grfx card do you have? [23:33] does intrepid support GeForce 6600's? [23:33] cause in the "proprietary drivers" application, it says nothing about the nvidia card [23:33] jrgp: yes. [23:33] now we're at 2.6.27-7 and the problem is still there [23:33] Pidgin is amazing. My god this program does it all perfectly. [23:33] hardy uses /dev/mapper/* for lvm right? among other things.. [23:33] jrgp: can't imagine that it doesn't [23:33] It's because it's a new bug that I'm asking [23:33] jrgp: Tell me your result. I might install ubuntu on my desktop PC with that card. Thanks! [23:33] Passion, First time in a buntu? [23:33] PassionFRUI7E: Oh, that one is running on wine? My bad. Just heard that it was somewhat like chrome on linux. [23:34] I got it 3 days ago. [23:34] PassionFRUI7E, ok [23:34] PassionFRUI7E: nah.. transferring files is still a kludge.. if it even works [23:34] I love ubuntu. [23:34] let me see Gnea [23:34] tovella, ATI Radeon 2400 HD and in my laptop INTEL extreme 915 onboard [23:34] the review of intrepid at http://linuxformat.co.uk/modules.php?op=modload&name=News&file=article&sid=759 mentions a "mobile usb image" and has a screen shot, but I havent been able to track it down. does anyone know where I can get it? [23:34] !ubuntu [23:34] Ubuntu is a complete Linux-based operating system, freely available with both community and professional support. It is developed by a large community and we invite you to participate too! - Also see http://www.ubuntu.com [23:34] great, new problem, now all desktop icons are missing, and I can't access system menus [23:34] !nvidia [23:34] For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [23:34] Gnea: no [23:34] TTThomas: I think it's called ubuntu MID [23:34] bungieQord: theres a file with that info I believe, you can just grep it a little [23:34] I'm majoring in Computer Science(Programming). Ubuntu is cool. [23:34] !mid [23:34] Sorry, I don't know anything about mid [23:34] bungieQord: let me websearch [23:34] i cant remember the last time i used windows, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND WINE [23:34] linuxcommands.org got me kickstarted. Props to that site for any beginners in here. [23:34] HtheB: try this: sudo modprobe snd_pcm_oss and check again [23:35] * jrib highly recommends native linux apps [23:35] there is supposed to be a shooting at my school tomorrow :( [23:35] hi guys, I just upgraded to 8.10 and I can't seem to find where to configure my DNS addresses ? [23:35] slart: the ubuntu MID is for touchscreen mobile devices [23:35] csilk: ...going to upgrade from an ATI x1550. are you pleased with the performance of the 2400 HD? [23:35] ActionParsnip, nop, it does not appear with sudo fdisk -l [23:35] Bring a crowbar. [23:35] dude [23:35] Gnea, isnt there a way to get back to my alsa drivers? [23:35] TTThomas: ah.. sorry.. indeed it is [23:35] Crowbars do everything. Deflect bullets, open doors, bash brains... [23:35] goes without saying jrib, but sometimes new users get a little winsick [23:35] if i am on the first floor and the shooters are on the 2nd/third floor and not on the 1st i am running like hell [23:35] Pensador: then try rebooting the phone [23:36] tovella: when I try to run nvidia settings, I get an error saying "X Window System error" and the error is "BadName (named color or font does not exist)" [23:36] tilde: how do you know? [23:36] tovella, I haven't used it for anything to stressful, I'm not a gamer so I dont know how it handles high loads etc... but in general yes I am [23:36] tell me [23:36] the 8.10 install disc drops me too a shell everytime, what is the command to install through console? [23:36] shall I reboot the phone with the USB cable still plugged, ActionParsnip? [23:36] tovella, it works perfectly in ubuntu, that's what I mainly care about [23:36] Does anybody know if there's any improvements in 8.10 for ATI cards? [23:36] tovella: details of error are "serial 312 error_code 15 request_code 45 minor_code 0" [23:36] does that mean anything to you? [23:36] HtheB: this is an extension that is part of the alsa driver [23:36] where do I find the ethernet DNS address configuration in ubuntu 8.10 ? [23:36] Pensador: try it [23:36] because yesterday there were 17 cop cars at my school, fbi agents, a swat team+van, cops on the roof, and cops inside the school with glocks armed and ready to shoot [23:36] Cops on the roof? Ouch. He's screwed. [23:36] does ubuntu 8.10 have less packages than 8.04 or is it because I went from 32 bit to 64 bit? [23:36] tilde, what happend? [23:36] !ot | tilde [23:36] 17 co pcars [23:36] tilde: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [23:36] bungieQord: you can check the username exists on the system with /etc/passwd [23:37] drh|lap there was a rumor of a shooting [23:37] tilde: Aha? So now they believe it to go for tomorrow? [23:37] got spread around and shit [23:37] PassionFRUI7E, For my ati card the driver has been updated, not sure what improvements it has made, all i know is that it just works [23:37] While installing updates I got "An error occurred while loading or saving configuration information for evolution-alarm-notify. Some of your configuration settings may not work properly." Any ideas? [23:37] my friend got stabbed over the weekend so yeah :( [23:37] Thank you csilk. [23:37] thats probably why [23:37] Gnea, done, but still no "/dev/dsp [23:37] "Adding client to server's list failed, CORBA error: IDL:omg.org/CORBA/COMM_FAILURE:1.0" [23:37] tilde: take it to #ubuntu-offtopic plesae [23:37] its probably going to happen tomorrow, last year there were 3-5 bomb threats [23:37] k [23:37] *please [23:37] xD [23:37] jdsbluedevl: sounds like your system has some deeper issues than I can help with from here. I don't have an nvidia card. [23:37] Where do you live, tilde? [23:37] question: what did they do to the sound between saturday and now? IT WORKED SATURDAY, I did an install of rc1 worked well, release, not so much [23:37] ljudkort arkansas [23:37] but my school is a gang area [23:37] ./ [23:37] :/* [23:37] bungieQord: http://bhagwat-masalkar.blogspot.com/2008/09/where-linux-user-group-information.html [23:38] i live in an upper class neighborhood [23:38] tilde: let's try to stay on-topic here [23:38] tilde, Ljudkort: #ubuntu-offtopic [23:38] i can't get fglxr running with a radeon 9600 card. each start i get a warning about low graphics mode where i can configure the driver. if i choose ati or fxglr and use the test button, i'm informed of an error in device configuration. any ideas? [23:38] tilde, Ljudkort, take it to #ubuntu-offtopic.. you'll just get kicked if you keep this up [23:38] hey, i can't seem to get my nvidia driver working. any help? [23:38] Run failsafe mode dimedo. [23:38] um, i need help where can I find the default text for /etc/sudoers? I, uh, lost mine [23:38] jrib: thanks for your input but I have to go eat some stew. I'll try xorg and see what happens [23:38] HtheB: can you pastebin the output of the dmesg command? [23:38] Sorry, Slart, Gnea. [23:38] PassionFRUI7E, and what then? [23:38] It completely fixed my system, other than some tweaks I needed to do. [23:38] ActionParsnip, the phone would not boot with the USB cable on, so I took it off for a sec and connected it again after powering the phone. Still, it is not detected by Ubuntu [23:38] Restart. [23:38] ctrl alt backspace [23:38] stew and cold weather. mmm good. [23:38] I gave up, restarted, it worked fine! === ay^_ is now known as ay^ [23:38] XD [23:39] Pensador: hmm, whats the phone model again [23:39] is the ubuntu 64 bit repository smaller than the 32 bit? [23:39] where do I find the ethernet DNS addresses configuration in ubuntu 8.10 ? [23:39] dekushrub: huh.. don't think so.. there might be one or two apps not available.. but nothing noticable [23:39] abe3k: /etc/resolv.conf specifies nameservers [23:39] dimedo: are you sure fglrx supports the 9600? i thought it was for newer cards than that? [23:39] Gnea, dmesg? [23:39] im having some problems with gdm, it isn't starting properly and i can't reconfigure it without shutting all x sessions [23:39] We should get a community effort going for rapid application development, like a better C# for linux. [23:39] anyone got any ideas? [23:39] ActionParsnip, it's Nokia 6300. It worked with the kernel versions packaged with Hardy Heron. It does not connect now that I upgraded to Intrepid [23:39] UBuntu 8.10 the window border liek kep getting messed up any ideas? [23:40] jimminy_cricket [23:40] so nobody knows hot to have "@" character, on a macbook pro :-( [23:40] slart, i'm missing cheese, gnome-do, pidgin plugins, etc... [23:40] b3lorixx: Did you try going to a simpler window theme? [23:40] HtheB: yes, it's a command that shows you all of the kernel debugging messages - best way, is to: sudo apt-get install pastebinit && dmesg | pastebinit [23:40] jimminy_cricket, does dmesg report anything? [23:40] any way i can get a new copy of sudoers? [23:40] : thanks man I appreciate it :) [23:40] cmdbbq: why? I can pastebin mine [23:40] PassionFRUI7E: im using the defualt fresh install one [23:40] HtheB: using the pastebin site means that you won't have to worry about flooding in here [23:40] white [23:40] i uh lost mine [23:40] In fact, ActionParsnip, if I boot from the older kernel, the phone is detected. It's a new bug. From what I googled, people stopped mentioning it since 2.6.27-5 [23:40] dekushrub: I had most of those installed on 8.04.. I'm almost finised updating to 8.10.. I can let you know in a minute or so [23:40] b3lorixx: All eyecandy disabled?

[23:57] Tetracomm-live, I adivse manual [23:57] I managed to boot from an extracted image (ubuntu-8.10-desktop-i386.iso) but It boots to initramfs. But how do I launch the live CD from there? [23:57] it's working, thanks and bye for now [23:57] sahak: go to System > Perferences > Apperance & click on the visual effects tab. Select normal, then close (button). Go back and do the same thing, only reselecting None, then close. [23:57] russianzilla: I guess you're still booting in normal mode, or? [23:57] Normal mode, yeah. [23:57] russianzilla: then try recovery mode [23:57] Would upgrading from the alternate CD as opposed to over the net possibly help? [23:58] sahak: this should reset your metacity stuff, logout & login again to test. [23:58] csilk: Why? [23:58] russianzilla: yes, it might, but rebooting is faster than downloading a CD, burning it and etc [23:58] Tetracomm-live, to mitigate the risk of overwriting current partitions [23:58] !install [23:58] Ubuntu can be installed in a lot of ways. Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation for documentation. Problems during install? See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CommonProblemsInstall. Don't want to use a CD? Try http://tinyurl.com/3exghs - See also !automate [23:58] tovella: i actually tried that before and it didn't help [23:58] Gnea, [23:58] Tetracomm-live, also, to make sure you get your partitions just as you want them [23:58] HtheB: i don't know what else to suggest... http://georgia.ubuntuforums.com/showpost.php?s=50d587f895dba9e65522567122d3d7f3&p=6055692&postcount=9 [23:58] anyone know how to tell GNUPG to never use cached passwords? [23:58] i can't my native nvidia video drivers installed from thegnome ui on ibex [23:59] i guess the servers are getting ammered? [23:59] russianzilla: just try to reboot into recovery, then reconfiguring and xFix [23:59] Alright, I'll try recovery mode then. [23:59] csilk: man gnupg (maybe?) [23:59] Thanks. [23:59] hammered [23:59] trying to upgrade from 8.04 to 8.10 using the alt disk, and I got a "Could not calculate the upgrade" error, what should I do? [23:59] HAMMERED, I second that [23:59] Wait, how would you go about reconfiguring xFix? [23:59] 3 hours for DL [23:59] what can i do against bonobo-activivation-server crashes at login? [23:59] sahak: wow... i'm suspecting some sort of file corruption may have taken place. not sure which file/files, though. [23:59] Gnea, I followed a tutorial [23:59] jjgalvez__: i used this. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IntrepidUpgrades#Network%20Upgrade%20for%20Kubuntu%20Desktops%20(Recommended) [23:59] Ubuntu 8.10 Nvidia Issues please help *window borders http://i36.tinypic.com/294gum9.jpg [23:59] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=921637&highlight=Acer+6920 [23:59] jjgalvez__: try running sudo apt-get clean first
