[00:00] good morning, i recently installed intrepid but i have a problem with my sound within wine, when i kill pulseaudio it works like a charm but with pulseaudio i have an extreme choppy sound any idea to solve that? [00:00] does anybody know why a mouse (which currently works fine in windows, linux mint 8.04, and ubuntu 8.04) would fly to the right side of the screen in 8.10? I recorded a video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a6ExRumWmSk [00:00] Flannel, I'm using the one on my laptop and want to switch to the external usb drive that use to be in my desktop [00:00] youssrr: sure does [00:00] How do I get ubuntu to allow me to put my laptop in sleep mode (adding the option in the shutdown menu + making it automatic when I close the lid) [00:00] youssrr: running firefox from the command line I get "*** NSPlugin Wrapper *** ERROR: NPObject 0x4846e20 is not valid!" [00:01] Hey all... I think I might have to downgrade my kernel from the one with Intrepid back down to what I had with Hardy... is there a general way to do this via apt-get ? [00:01] SkinnYPuPp: i don't get the windows hate. it has its place. if you game, for the most part, it's much easier on windows than on linux. not having a go at either, just saying that's how the market is right now and to hate on either one of them absolutely, seems very emotionally based [00:01] Scunizi: Alright, you'll need to boot to a liveCD and rename the /home folder (thats on your /) [00:01] I had problem [00:01] kpthunder, did you look to make sure your speed and sensitivity are not all the way up in mouse settings? [00:01] kpthunder: that has happened to me the entire time I've been using Ubuntu.. On any rls [00:01] anyone can help me [00:01] to try to fix it [00:01] a2828: -ENOCONTEXT [00:01] when i try to use it on linux i can't connect [00:01] With sleep or hibernate.. [00:01] Scunizi: since, otherwise you'll be trying to mount the external drive to /home, which already exists as a folder inside of / [00:01] yes, my sensitivity is all the way down [00:01] ubottu: thanks, but where are things like compiz? [00:01] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [00:01] legend2440 , This is what Intel Corporation Mobile GM965/GL960 Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 0c) . I see what I think is an s-video and something that looks like monitor hook up ,but I don't know about sound [00:01] jrib no on this webpage [00:01] i have 3 gb ram [00:01] a2828: "this webpage"? [00:01] messing with the mouse settings doesnt help [00:01] INFORMATIONAL NOTICE... [00:01] I've seen quite a few posts about people interested in getting an 8.10 .iso onto a flash device for installing it without burning a new CD. [00:01] I'd found a port of the new "usb-creator", but wasn't sure if it would work on 8.04. [00:01] Those who are interested may wish to take note that I've just done a fresh install of 8.04, and the port seems to work fine on it. The link is: [00:01] tovella: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [00:01] http://launchpadlibrarian.net/18940109/usb-creator_0.1.10_all.deb === zerothis1 is now known as zerothis [00:02] in what repositories can I find compiz? [00:02] zchef2k_: compiz is installed by default [00:02] zchef2k_: main (its also installed by default) [00:02] hey anybody can help me? networking is not working on my test computer with Intrepid. [00:02] hmmmm [00:02] zchef2k_: compiz is in the standard repositories [00:02] erUSUL: i went here: http://java.com/en/download/help/testvm.xml?ff3 ... and the test for java failed ... [00:02] http://www.vagipe.com/profile.php?user=Nobody%205497&lang=english&setage=28&setgender=male [00:02] In case anyone was wondering about my earlier mouse-button-rebinding query, I found https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Logitech_Marblemouse_USB which got me where I wanted to be. [00:02] , do you have 8.10? [00:02] right now my mouse is working, but that's happened before too [00:02] who's willing to help with AR242x? =) [00:02] how can i install a .bin? (need to install the java jdk) [00:02] it's most likely going to start being retarded again [00:02] erUSUL: should i jsut uninstla it and try it again? [00:02] andresj_mibbit, type ifconfig -a and check that your network interface is there [00:02] is the executable in path by default? [00:03] its not in mine [00:03] bartho: why not use the ubuntu package? [00:03] on another note: Does anybody know what would cause the shutdown/resart screen to hang? [00:03] idiamond: it is not there. [00:03] !tvout | tarelerulz not sure about Intel i use tv out with ati card [00:03] tarelerulz not sure about Intel i use tv out with ati card: For help with enabling the TV-Out, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/NvidiaTVOutNewbieEdition (Nvidia cards) or http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Tvout (ATI cards, *untested*) [00:03] i cant find it in the installer [00:03] It takes about 5 minutes to shutdown [00:03] Flannel, ok.. that's doable.. [00:03] Idiamond: it is not there [00:03] can any one help me fix this thing [00:03] On a Core 2 Quad 3ghz [00:03] bartho: sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jdk [00:03] tovella , are there distro that have usb flash drives as normal media for installing from ? [00:03] andresj_mibbit, "Ldiamond" [00:03] Flannel, I thought the change in fstab would just "take care" of that? [00:03] can i turn compression off for ssh port forwarding for faster loading of remote application? [00:03] or i have to run firefox as root? [00:04] andresj_mibbit, Sorry, I'm not sure what to do then, but I think you'd have to load the net module [00:04] How do I get ubuntu to allow me to put my laptop in sleep mode (adding the option in the shutdown menu + making it automatic when I close the lid) [00:04] jNoxx: yes [00:04] ldiamond, lol. sorry. on a windows computer with no middle-click paste nor Tab-completion :P [00:04] ldiamond: u mean modprobe? [00:04] temppy: thx [00:04] Have you problems with compiz? [00:04] or is there no compiz for 64 bit ibex? [00:04] tarelerulz: yes, there are... in fact there was a company that sold a usb flash device with ubuntu pre-installed. not sure if they're still doing it, though. [00:04] np [00:04] * kpthunder needs help [00:04] zchef2k_: there is [00:05] sorry for sounding like a noob [00:05] andresj_mibbit, yea [00:05] Window-headers missing sometimes [00:05] what i can do? [00:06] are there gigabyte chipset drivers available for ubuntu? [00:06] tovella, I have been interesting in using usb flash drive as install media for while. Seem better then using a cd/dvd . The next step or at lest an option [00:06] ldiamond: is it modprobe net? i think its something else, cuz dat doesnt work :) [00:06] guys can any one help fix firefox problem please [00:06] a2828: whats the prob? [00:07] a2828: ask your question with details on a single line and wait patiently please. I still have no idea what your issue is and I suspect that's true of most (all) people here [00:07] andresj_mibbit, I'm sorry, I'm kind of a newbie. maybe google could help you tho. check for loading the net module. And check /etc/modules to see if its in there. [00:07] tarelerulz: the new "usb-creator" comes standard with 8.10. it really makes it convenient. [00:07] ldiamond: ok, thanks :) [00:07] temppy i got ubuntu 8.04 running on amd64 machine when i want to use web site that they have chat useing adobe flash i can't connect to server i try different sites [00:08] can somebody who can help me with a hanging shutdown screen please contact me via pm? [00:08] a2828: are you using 64bit? [00:08] yes [00:08] tovella, I havent seen the usb-creator. I really struggled to get ubuntu installed from a USB HDD [00:08] tovella , I thought that was making a boot disk and not turning usb fash drive install into a install media [00:08] a2828: maybe you should switch to 32bit. Other than that, I can't help ya [00:08] how can i do that :) [00:08] tarelerulz, Pm me, I successfully installed Ibex from a USB HDD [00:08] u mean firefox 32 bit [00:08] temppy: you say he should switch to 32bit just for flash? [00:09] yup [00:09] a2828: no, ubuntu 32bit. And you would reinstall the whole OS [00:09] i'm backin up my data to do a clean 8.10 install. i've backed up everything in my home folder, but is there anything else i should save? [00:09] you can have 32bit flash on ubuntu 64bits [00:09] tarelerulz: if you use the "desktop" .iso image, it can do both together in one "request". [00:09] !flash64 [00:09] You can run Flash, Real, and Java plugins in AMD64 bit computers with Firefox. see the steps to follow at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FirefoxAMD64FlashJava [00:09] just get firefox 32bit [00:10] how do i continute the debconf? [00:10] but why i can't use on 64 bit? [00:10] fallore: you are all set, unless you run server programs like apache or a db like mysql [00:10] there is no flash 64bit for firefox 64bit that i know of? correct me if i'm wrong [00:11] correct IIRC [00:11] temppy: nope. thanks [00:11] hi, i tryed installing java via rpm, which didnt work (i now realize why) then i tryed useing applications>add/remove .... it gave an error when it was almost done, but finished the instal anyways, then the update thing told me there was an error that is usualy because of dependancies, i instaled the update for java and it also told me when it was done that there was an error and that it was 'broken' because of dependancies ... [00:11] there is flash 32 bits working on firefox 64 [00:11] yes [00:11] working on firefox 32bit [00:12] now i'm trying to remove java and it says it cant remove it because of other stuff is dependant on it! ... please advise [00:12] hello ~~~~~~~ all [00:12] Logikos: it would probably be beneficial to you to group your problem into a single message next time [00:12] hello everyone [00:12] Cygal: there are other problems that you can run into on 64bit. Don't know what they are, don't care myself, since you can just install 32bit and be done with it. Thats just my take [00:12] How do I get ubuntu to allow me to put my laptop in sleep mode (adding the option in the shutdown menu + making it automatic when I close the lid) [00:13] how can i map functions to my mouse buttons? i'd like to map the thumb button to middle click [00:13] fallore: thanks for teh advice .. i was worried it would get cut off, do you have ideas with respect to my problem? [00:13] how do i continue installing the updates when im on a terminal? [00:13] is there anyone that can give me a bit of a hand with video driver issues in a new install of ubuntu 8.10 [00:13] I have "Aquire::http::Proxy foo" defined in my /etc/apt/apt.conf file. Is there a way to use that in an if statement somehow? [00:13] Logikos: if you have Sun's java installed, you might try using OpenJDK, instead. [00:13] I'm going to remove my 8.04 install and do a clean 8.10 install over it. Will there be an easily discernible way to do this with the 8.10 installer or is there another step I have to take? [00:13] I have a problem with filesystem [00:13] ie; if this proxy is available, use it. if not go direct. [00:13] good god, is the compiz executable not 'compiz'? I fear I was just stricken with retardation [00:13] temppy: I just installed a package, it used nspluginwrapper, and never had problems (not more than on 32 bits machines) [00:13] I am not able to access /var/www/html directory [00:13] Logikos: why are you removing java, when you have programs that need it? [00:13] Logikos: i had a similar problem this morning, although less complicated. I fixed it by removing it in synaptic package manager, perhaps that would work for you? I'm not very experienced though [00:13] i was running linux mint on my toshiba laptop with no video issues [00:14] Logikos: ...try installing OpenJDK first, then try removing Sun's java. [00:14] I can see files/folder inside html folder through the desktop but not through the commandline [00:14] now i have installed ubuntu 8.10 and it wont let me install nvidia drivers [00:14] who got the right driver for the Thinkpad middle-key which is colored blue [00:14] video drivers r a pain [00:14] so that i can use the enhanced desktop effects [00:14] Logikos: some packages don't care which java is installed. [00:14] yes pan234.... [00:14] im hearing you [00:15] but i did have it working FINE on linux mint [00:15] anyone use mkvtoolnix to convert MKV to AVI? [00:15] Please help me with filesystem [00:15] tovella: k, i'll try, thanks === vlacki is now known as vlacki|not_here [00:16] mankash: are you sure you're using the right command?

[00:17] \Kira: the show desktop button in the bottom left might help until someone can give you a better answer [00:18] yeah [00:18] You can tell me the command I can try [00:18] I updated a minimal kubuntu 8.04 using kde4 to 8.10 and my screen has flashes every 20 seconds or so like a window is trying to open?

[00:27] itai-michaelson: Um. Should work. [00:27] I have to say that Ibex is a nice update... [00:27] itai-michaelson: Browser? [00:27] I'm going to remove my 8.04 install and do a clean 8.10 install over it. Will there be an easily discernible way to do this with the 8.10 installer or is there another step I have to take?

[00:28] i dont know *how* this happened but on my laptop i have: unison version 2.27.57, but on desktop i have: unison version 2.13.16.... although both computers are running ubuntu hardy. on desktop i did sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install unison; but got message: unison is already the newest version. ... ideas? [00:28] Logikos: uses openjdk, i mean. [00:28] Got a question: i'm running ubuntu intrepid and can't get my resolution any higher than 1280X800 [00:28] quick confirmation. If I use the minimal netinsall iso + ubuntu-desktop. [00:28] so since updating to intrepid, sound in firefox doesn't work. works fine in opera, but not firefox. [00:28] hey guys. on ibex, im trying to install the restricted-extras package, but on the part with the mscorefonts it keeps hanging on the server (a different one each time) with the "http request sent, awaiting response..." [00:28] I get the normal ubuntu yes? [00:28] itai-michaelson: Hardy or Intrepid? [00:28] tovella: ok... so what does that mean, i need to figureout how to instal gcjwebplugin ? [00:28] Sertse: pretty much [00:28] karsten, hardy, just installed , adobe keeps timing out [00:28] itai-michaelson: Hardy, amd64, ii flashplugin-no 9.0.124.0ubunt Adobe Flash Player plugin installer [00:29] itai-michaelson: flashplugin-nonfree [00:29] jimminy - yes im getting a flicker every several seconds like a window trying to open .. is that what your getting [00:29] gonna try shutting down the network manager [00:29] itai-michaelson: Working w/ firefox [00:29] i use kde and my gf uses gnome, my firefox is fine. i'm guessing it's a different between phonon and pulse? [00:29] karsten, in the repos ,you mean [00:29] is there a way to use packages from hardy on intrepid? other than downloading straight from the site ? [00:29] tovella: when i search for it in add/remove i get icedtea java plugin [00:29] sounds good ... [00:29] itai-michaelson: Yeah. [00:29] Hydrant, why? [00:29] itai-michaelson: Don't d/l from Adobe. [00:29] hey guys. on ibex, im trying to install the restricted-extras package, but on the part with the mscorefonts it keeps hanging on the server (a different one each time) with the "http request sent, awaiting response..." [00:29] karsten, will work with opera? [00:29] Logikos: from a terminal window you could type the command, "sudo apt-get install gcjwebplugin". alternatively you could use the Synaptic Package Manager to install it. [00:29] hi all [00:29] soone having problems authenticating to LDAP? [00:29] * Atomic_UE is getting really annoyed by the major wifi signal fluctuations which are causing major inet connectivity issues. Probably need to go back to 8.04 :\ [00:29] noone [00:30] Hydrant: Like what? In general, no. I'd say bakcports, but that's going the other way. [00:30] can anyone help with ati hd2400pro driver problems in ubuntu8.04? [00:30] I'd like to downgrade to the 2.4.24 kernel [00:30] actually it seems to be the same server each time. [00:30] tovella: thanks, where is the 'synaptic package manager' when i try to uninstal sun java it says some junk about useing that? [00:30] which is down or something [00:30] Atomic_UE: ... or stop swiping wifi from your neighbor ;-) [00:30] lu_31415: Just ask [00:30] Flannel: actually the /home on the laptop is pointed at a different partition.. so by changing just the fstab reference and renaming home to oldhome on the laptop created a problem booting. Since it's a different partition should I just leave the home reference on the laptop as home instead of oldhome? [00:30] and i would like to finish the insallation [00:30] Hydrant, might as well go back to hardy. i wouldn't try to run that kernel in intrepid. [00:30] system monitor closes down when I try to stop the network manager [00:30] ok thanks [00:30] hi [00:31] why's that ? [00:31] tovella: nevermind, found the synaptic package manager [00:31] is anyone getting serious video flickering after the upgrade?? [00:31] gn8 [00:31] Logikos: on the gnome panel (the top bar) click on Sys... OK. [00:31] !hi | sameer [00:31] sameer: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! [00:31] karsten, it's actually my wifi from the other room, but on an upside in 8.10 i do seem to be able to pick up a few more networks [00:31] tovella: i instaled icedtea-gcjwebplugin or something like that in just add/remove .... did that do basicly the same thing? [00:31] Okay, I've managed to get the ethernet adapter working, meaning it actually lights up. But I can't get it to network. [00:31] Any ideas? [00:31] karsten: actually I don't know what to ask specifically - tried installing the drivers some different ways, to no success, and performance is very, very bad :( [00:31] Logikos: which version of ubuntu? [00:32] karsten, but that package still directs me to macromedia's site.... [00:32] 8.04 [00:32] tovella: 8.04 [00:32] tovella: LTS [00:32] Logikos: then yes, use that one. [00:32] Logikos: icedtea sucks on 8.04 IMHO. that is, it never worked for me [00:32] Network manager is eating up my memory - I wonder if this has something to do with problems others are having with wireless connections in ibex [00:32] Also, lshw -C network reports that the network is diuabled. [00:32] I'm having a problem installing to a local HD from LiveCD. When I get to the partitioner, and try to go through 'guided, largest free space', it displays that it is going to take up 100% of the disk. When I hit next, it doesn't 'guide' me. And I don't want to overwrite the other partitions on that drive [00:32] *disabled [00:32] tovella: k, thanks! i'll give it a try [00:32] how can i get kpdf for ubuntu ?? [00:33] moin [00:33] Logikos: on 8.10, it's listed as a "transitional" package, ...going to be replaced by gcjwebplugin, i think. [00:33] my pc powered off in the middle of dist update, and now my ubuntu wont load :( [00:33] Hmm, it seems that if I have an application that plays sound, open, I can't start another one, because it says something like Cannot open /dev/dsp or /dev/sound/dsp! [00:33] grav, do a manual install. the guided means it chooses the partition setup for you. [00:33] temppy: ok, so incase it doesnt work for me, what did you end up doing? [00:33] Uplink, reinstall. [00:33] Uplink: can you get a terminal [00:33] argh: I kinda wanted to go through guided... If you have 30GB, how would it suggest partitioning and what mount points? [00:34] is there a solution if I have a soundcard that apparently plays only on one program? [00:34] it was on the "memtest86+" [00:34] having problems with AR242x here, any help would be appreciated =) [00:34] hi, i've installed kubuntu on my mum/sister's laptop to convert them away from windows, but i can't get amarok to play stuff off my sister's ipod nano (1st gen i think), how can i fix this? [00:34] Logikos: start by removing all the java stuff you installed, then install the sun version, or install ubuntu-restricted-extras [00:34] (arrrghhh_): how am i gonna reinstall? no way [00:34] Uplink: can you get a terminal? [00:34] ok, so we're talking Ibex for help questions now? ;) [00:34] (temppy): where? on the boot? [00:34] fallore, thanks for the link but the flash-nonfree package still sends me to adobe's ftp server which keeps timing out on me === thseiler is now known as thseiler|zzz [00:34] funny.. the hardy live cd wants to do package upgrades.. didn't expect that [00:34] temppy: when i try to uninstal it says i cant cause stuff depends on it [00:34] Uplink, What do you get when boot? [00:34] (temppy): it boots up to the loggin... [00:34] can i install kpdf for ubuntu ?? [00:34] the amarok error is "Some media could not be loaded (not playable)." -- it's just random stuff off her ipod i want her to be able to manage... [00:34] Uplink, how did you install in the first place? [00:35] Uplink: anywhere, if you can boot, thats preferable, but you can use the livecd also [00:35] ive tried apt-cache search kpdf [00:35] the only cd i have is 7.04 [00:35] Logikos: the install the sun java first [00:35] Logikos: s/the/then/ [00:35] Uplink, you can get a new one sent to you or download a new copy & burn it. [00:35] Uplink: then can you get a terminal at boot? [00:36] (temppy): idk if i can... [00:36] pw-, still having those problems ?? [00:36] arrrghhh_: I've got 30GB, what would the recommended partition sizes and mount points be? [00:36] (temppy): im on windows right now cause my ubuntu wont boot, and my livecd is 7.04 so my wi-fi doesnt work [00:36] Uplink: well, its not too hard to recover, just run: sudo apt-get dist-upgrade [00:36] tyrant, well, i got it working for a bit, even showed all my networks! but wouldn't connect to any, so i rebooted, and now it won't show anything =( [00:36] grav, i've done ubuntu on paritions as small as 10gb. but that doesn't leave a lot of wiggle room for downloading much. [00:37] temppy: thats how all this started, i made the mistake of trying to instal sun java by rpm, then i tryed to instal it by add/remove programs, which gave an error but instaled anyways, then it said it had dependancies ... i dont know what to do with it ... so now i tryed this openjdk or whatever it was ... [00:37] can anyone help me upload flashplayer somewhere, i can't download it from here [00:37] (incidence): well i get some stuff like checking stuff and [OK] [fail] [00:37] ubuntu.de [00:37] Logikos: rpm????? never!!!!!! [00:37] well, I can re-size the partition that's right in front of it. And I could get up to 50GB... But what sizes and mount points would be recommended? [00:37] pw-, what version of ubuntu do u have ? [00:37] (temppy): how can i get a terminal if it doesnt load up to the desktop? [00:37] Uplink, ctrl-alt-f1 or do recovery mode from grub. === BaD-AcerLaptop is now known as BaD_CrC [00:38] Logikos: my apologies... after trying the website you posted, i see that it does in fact require Sun's java. [00:38] pw-, and is your system 32 bit or 64 and what version of ubuntu uhave 64 oder 32 bit os [00:38] hi [00:38] Uplink, but since you powered off your system during the dist-upgrade i'd just say reinstall. a lot less headache than trying to recover your system. [00:38] temppy: yes yes, i'm learning :) [00:38] wats the use of having 6 consoles f1 - f6? anyone can explain? [00:38] Logikos: i'll really be glad when Sun is able to release a 64-bit version. [00:39] tovella: i dont have a 64bit os right now so no big deal, but still ... its not working... [00:39] tyrant, 8.10, fresh install === IVBela1 is now known as IVBela [00:39] pw-, try installing mad-wifi-hal [00:40] is there a way to convert h264 video mkv file to avi quickly? [00:40] TAch [00:40] van, avidemux [00:40] (arrrghhh_): well it was asking me on the grub, then i chose, "load terminal to see whats going on" then it froze and then it gave me a terminal on the package manager window and then i cat a bin file by accident and terminal went nuts [00:40] pw-, u will have to compile it from source though , [00:40] arrrghhh_: it always show me this error h264 detected [00:40] arrrghhh_: then when i convert avi with copy codec .. it end without image.. only sound [00:40] Logikos: i guess i should have asked before... how did you come to the point of installing via RPM? why not the .deb that's in the repositories? [00:40] Uplink, you need to reinstall. download a cd, burn it, reinstall. [00:41] (arrrghhh_): but i dont want to lose all my config :( [00:41] arrrghhh_: you're able to do it? [00:41] tyrant, i blacklisted ath_pci and ath_hal, and installed the backports package, this is what made my network show up, but it would not connect, though i put in the right WEP [00:41] tyrant, then i rebooted, and it no longer sees my network [00:41] how to get text based boot screen [00:41] van, yes. probably codecs. [00:41] Might get the wired working....... [00:41] Come on.... [00:41] (arrrghhh_): but i dont want to lose all my config :( [00:41] arrrghhh_: what video codec you use? [00:41] tovella: i clicked a link online to get java, java only offered a few options for instal, rpm was one of them, i recignized it, so i read the instructions and tryed to do it, it didnt work though because of a bunch of dependancies ... so i didnt end up installing it by rpm ... i just tryed to [00:42] What's a port that most routers have open? [00:42] pw-, have u put the name of the driver in the modules.conf???? [00:42] arrrghhh_: are you using copy codec? [00:42] hello? [00:42] tovella: i didnt see a .deb option [00:42] Strife: 6000 [00:42] (temppy): wb [00:42] Uplink, whine whine whine. you probably shouldn't have powered off during a dist-upgrade then. besides, if you have your /home on a separate partition you won't lose anything really. [00:42] tovella: now i'm in synaptic package manager looking for sun-java-6 to uninstall it, then i'll try again? [00:42] (arrrghhh_): ummm really? so how do i reinstall? [00:42] van, ubuntu-restricted-extras probably. i dunno if i have anything additional. i was just mentioning software that would do that conversion for you. [00:43] Uplink, uh... download iso... burn cd... pop in drive... install. you installed it in the first place, right? [00:43] tyrant, no [00:43] (arrrghhh_): yea i install 7.04 in my pc [00:43] (temppy): wb [00:43] Logikos: i see. in situations like those, it's usually best to see if there's a version of the plugin available in the repositories. add/remove won't show you nearly as many of the packages as Synaptic Package Manager does. [00:43] i installed Ubuntu on a usb hard drive can i transfer it to the hrd drive with out losing my settings i have all the hardware working now and the wireless which was a bear to do and dont want to lose it all i have windowsxppro on the laptop on main hdd [00:43] Uplink: did you get any of my messages? pidgin was acting way weird [00:43] pw-, add "ath_pci" to the end of the file /etc/modules , u ll have to open the file with with sudo [00:44] how to get text based boot screen [00:44] Uplink, so download the iso for 8.10 burn it and install it! simple.

[00:44] iwant to daul boot ubuntu and xp on that hdrive [00:44] pw-, sudo gedit /etc/modules [00:44] Uplink, well then you shouldn't have powered off in the middle of a dist-upgrade. quit whining about it. [00:44] tyrant, aye, got it, rebooting =) [00:44] (temppy): where? in desktop? or in boot? [00:44] (arrrghhh_): i couldnt continue... my update froze [00:45] Uplink: anywhere in ubuntu [00:45] tovella: ok i used synaptic package manager to completly remove sun-java-6 ... now what method do you recomend i use to add it back again? synaptic package manager also? [00:45] (temppy): idk how to get a terminal other than desktop [00:45] Anyone else having issues installing ibex? Worked OK on two machines, but on my primary, it seemd to install OK, but just before it gets to the login screen, everything seems to lock up. [00:45] !tty | Uplink [00:45] Uplink: To get to the TTY terminals 1-6, use the keystroke ctrl + alt + F1-F6 respectively (Alt+F7 will get you back to your graphical login). To change the resolution for your TTY, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ChangeTTYResolution. [00:45] Uplink, were you being impatient or did it really freeze... [00:46] i installed Ubuntu on a usb hard drive can i transfer it to the hrd drive with out losing my settings i have all the hardware working now and the wireless which was a bear to do and dont want to lose it all i have windowsxppro on the laptop on main hdd i also want to daul boot ubuntu and xp on that hdrive [00:46] runpain2: if you install it to another hard drive the default settings will be put in place, however, when booted from the usb-hard drive, you should make a backup of the settings. [00:46] ldiamond, System > Preferences > Power Management [00:46] how [00:46] How do I find any where the text 'mycustomtext' is located in a directory of files?

[00:46] (arrrghhh_): it did really freeze, debconfig froze on me and terminal got some WEIRD characters cause i cat a bin file by accident [00:46] (arrrghhh_): the terminal on the window of dist-update [00:47] i know ii need to partion the hard drive to fit both [00:47] Atomic_UE, I dont have a Power Management menu in system preferences [00:47] Uplink, i don't see why you were "cattin" anything while the dist-upgrade was going on. suck it up and reinstall. [00:47] runpain2: i would backup everything in at least /etc and /home. [00:47] ldiamond, o_O ubuntu with gnome? [00:47] how do i do an upgrade to Intrepid from the command line?

[00:48] Atomic_UE, yes, but I made a minimal install and I setup gnome and x manually [00:48] on 64 bit ubuntu intrepid, I'm having a rather annoying problem installing multimedia codecs as per instructions on ubuntuforums... could anyone maybe point me in the right direction? [00:48] How do I find any where the text 'mycustomtext' is located in a directory of files? [00:48] I'm looking for someone to help me test VNC Viewer. All you have to do is punch a command in the terminal. === shinjii__ is now known as Shinjitsu [00:48] Atomic_UE, I'm trying to install gnome-power-manager package [00:48] Strife89: Ill do it [00:49] runpain2: ... sorry i should have asked how much stuff... in KB, or MB. [00:49] (temppy): so what after i get a terminal? [00:49] I added the sources and the gpg key and now when I try to do the first step of installing the codecs, it says "E: couldn't find package libflash-mozplugin" [00:49] Uplink, it's just when an dist-upgrade fails, it's difficult to recover. there's a lot of stuff you can try, but it's usually A LOT easier to reinstall. [00:49] ldiamond, yeah that's what you want and it should be threre then [00:49] ldiamond, otherwise the commands is gnome-power-preferences [00:49] Uplink: sudo apt-get dist-upgrade and if it says it cant continue because you need to run another command, run that command [00:49] (arrrghhh): how do i "reinstall" mister... [00:49] tovella: i marked sun-java6-bin, sun-java6-plugin, sun-java6-jre marked itself, i also see sun-java6-jdk ... should i mark jdk also? or any others? such as doc, fonts, javadb, [00:49] (temppy): ok thanx will try [00:50] what if i copied the usb partion of ubuntu to a partion on the hardrive that i would make and make a boot loader to that hard drive on it [00:50] Uplink: we've been over this.... [00:50] drone_:https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Medibuntu [00:50] thank you :) [00:50] Logikos: not for what you're doing, just check sun-java6-jre... any others it requires will be marked automatically. [00:50] i could edit boot loader for the hdrive and partions right [00:50] yw,drone_ [00:50] tovella: thanks [00:51] my wireless keyboard is currently recognized as dev/input/js0 ....how can I make my joypad (dev/input/by-id/usb-Honey_Bee_AIRFLO-joystick) js0 instead?

[00:51] what if i copied the usb partion of ubuntu to a partion on the hardrive that i would make and make a boot loader to that hard drive on it [00:51] i could edit boot loader for the hdrive and partions right [00:51] Logikos: you should be fine with that.

[01:03] Hi again! Since my installing 8.10, a few times while working, my cap-lock key start blinking and the system just is blocked, nothing working and have to use the reboot button. Is it 8.10 (8.04 used to work pretty flawlessly) or it is a improbable coincidence that my toshiba laptop is broken partly (I havent have this under windows, at least before I installed 8.10 as since then I havent used windows much). Thanks [01:04] i can see contents through windows [01:04] temppy: it installed the linux headers or something [01:04] if I do that, what will happen to my current js0 device? [01:04] blue_mushroom: thats it? o well [01:04] tovella: well at least the problem is different, the past problem was a failed instalation of java, java is now installed correctly near as i can tell ... that java test page works, but this game, and some others dont work? [01:04] masque7: oh, in that case, not having any data or configuration stuff you need on it, by all means - do the fresh install. [01:04] temppy: so it should have gotten everything to the newest state and configured? [01:04] is there a way to bypass having to type in my password everytime i want to access synaptic package manager? Its past annoying now. [01:05] LF|Irssi, you can keep it open and not to log out [01:05] blue_mushroom: no, it checks the default dependencies. It doesn't do any upgrading particularly, and no configuring [01:05] Logikos: it could be that the site checks for a (dare i say it) microsoft browser. [01:05] tovella: yeah it's no skin off my nose. total experiment for me is this. isn't it frustrating when you're following a how-to word-for-word and, say, a command doesn't work? :P [01:05] temppy: ... well that didn't work, should I restart and see if it works? [01:05] Logikos: ... & plugins. [01:06] K_Dallas: my tray is already full of stuff, keeping that open 24/7 is not really desired [01:06] blue_mushroom: since you are on 8.04, you could try reconfiguring x, but I dunno [01:06] tovella: its miniclip ... some of the other miniclip games work fine, even before i installed java, because they only required flash [01:06] LF|Irssi, but frankly, you shouldnt be needing it that often ;) [01:06] How do I test my sound in Ubuntu (is there any sound files anywhere I could test with)? [01:06] temppy: I'm just in awe that a user can ACTUALLY lose it... [01:06] ldiamond, do: locate *.wav [01:06] masque7: is this based on the how-to i recently saw on howtoforge? [01:06] K_Dallas, how do I play it? [01:06] mankash: sound strange.. do you have a space in the folder name? like " html" ot "html "? [01:06] favro: I've got global dns disabled. [01:07] temppy: The same thing happens if I disable the touchpad... when I want to enable it I can't . [01:07] http://pastebin.com/d6511963e << can somebody help me with that error? [01:07] ldiamond, it depends what you have installed, I have mplayer so i do: mplayer *.wav [01:07] K_Dallas, locate doesnt work [01:07] temppy: unless I restart X [01:07] Kumo: that file shold say nameserver 192.168.1.1 or whatever the routers ip address is [01:07] K_Dallas, isnt there a sound manager with stuffs I could test with? [01:07] ldiamond, maybe it is not installed or you need to do updatedb first [01:07] does anyone knows unix regexp [01:08] blue_mushroom: yeah, it sucks. I go for the separate /home, and just reinstall if anything craps out, or I screw anything up. Clean install, I'm up in running, and I haven't lost any settings [01:08] ldiamond, alsamixer is one but is it that hard to find a sound file [01:08] yellow fello ubuntus [01:08] Logikos: but now it looks like some of them require a specific vendor's java (Sun). i don't have any experience with miniclip. [01:08] anyone else having problems with navigation buttons in firefox (running intrepid 64) [01:08] how come this doesn't work echo '+3892322541zzz9' | grep -qE '00|\+[0-9]{2}|[0-9]{3}[1-9][0-9]{6}' && echo YES || echo NO [01:08] i get YES, but i should get NO [01:08] ldiamond, when you log into ubuntu (if you use gdm, gnome) you should hear something [01:08] lol, such a simple regex ,-) [01:08] K_Dallas, I have mp3's on a windows partition, but I try to play them with Audacious and nothing happens (it doesnt even start playing) [01:09] where's the garbage bin located? [01:09] tovella: well isnt that what i installed? sun-java6-bin ... [01:09] anyone sucessfully installed nvidia drivers on intrepid? and have openGL/GLX? [01:09] K_Dallas, so its either the sound thats not installed (so audacious just doesnt play it), or audacious has trouble getting files from that partition [01:09] DaveCave: only 177s work [01:09] ldiamond, in which case, I think you need to install the codec files [01:09] DaveCave: not me, I posted a topic on launchpad. hopefully it gets SOLVED [01:09] K_Dallas, I have a minimal installation, so I setup only the basic gnome [01:09] ldiamond, copy them to your linux partition [01:09] Is there a way to make kde apps use the win2k theme like gnome without installing kde-desktop and adding 50 trillion items to the menu? [01:09] K_Dallas, whats the package [01:09] Tyrath: are you using 177s? [01:10] tyrath: ive reinstalled 5 times today, cause i kept getting stuck at TTY1 after restart once drivers installed, same problem with you? [01:10] does anyone have experience with vmware unity under intrepid? it's doing strange things for me [01:10] zrak: maybe oyu need to define groups () you have several or'ed | expressions and the second will match [01:10] temppy: yes 177s [01:10] temppy: I'm using Intrepid Ibex [01:10] ldiamond, not sure but i think you have to add the multimedia repository [01:10] Logikos: yes, the one compiled for Ubuntu, but some websites may be able to check to see which Sun java you have installed (as well as which web browser). [01:10] Q: Since my installing 8.10, a few times while working, my cap-lock key start blinking and the system just is blocked, nothing working and have to use the reboot button. Is it 8.10 (8.04 used to work pretty flawlessly) or it is a improbable coincidence that my toshiba laptop is broken partly (I havent have this under windows, at least before I installed 8.10 as since then I havent used windows much). Thanks [01:10] favro: still no luck [01:10] hi, i'm having file system is mounted read only after installing intrepid on eeepc and rebooting, does anybody know about it? [01:10] zrak: why do you believe you should get NO? [01:11] <_pisecx_> Hi, All. Am I write that started from 8.10 neither GParted nor Ubuntu setup can resize NTFS partitions? [01:11] list [01:11] temppy: the reason I want to know is cause the GUI is insisting I delete something I don't want to. So in order to fulfil its desires I'm going to copy the file to another directory, and then delete it in that directory [01:11] Kumo: you need to restart the network - sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart [01:11] .leave [01:11] jrib: because in the pattern there isn't charcter [01:11] K_Dallas: uh. caps lock blinking... kernel panic.. we had that on a box that overheated [01:11] i have two 320GB hard drives, A and B. A has /home and /. B is completely empty. i want to do some kind of backup solution. im thinking between s3 and backing up to hard drive B. what are thoughts about (1) s3 versus backing up to anohter hard drive? (2) which program to use to make it happen? [01:11] tovella: that seems doubtful, so when you go to the website it says your missing a plugin also? - there are some plugins i dont have .. adobe shockwave and igloader ... which i cant find linux versions of? [01:11] DaveCave: I don't think restarting it will do anything. I think you'll need to manually set it up [01:11] cliechti, oh! [01:12] zrak: that pattern matches +38 with \+[0-9]{2} [01:12] is there a bug in inteprid with AR ? [01:12] <_pisecx_> Hi, All. Am I write that starting from 8.10 neither GParted nor Ubuntu setup can resize NTFS partitions? [01:12] tyrath: this is after following like 3 different install guides cause the way i did it in 8.04 doesnt like 8.10 lol [01:12] but i wrote | which means or [01:12] cliechti, so it is the laptop overheating nothing about ubuntu. [01:12] tyrath: when i had 8.04 i had the nvidia drivers working [01:12] you are great, there is space in the last. Iwas trying to find the solution from yesterday [01:12] zrak: yes... so it only needs to match one thing [01:12] favro: got a bunch of no such device messages [01:12] how do I install the java runtime environment on intrepid 64bit? [01:12] cliechti> thanks a lot [01:12] jrib: but i get YES, i should get NO [01:12] http://pastebin.com/d6511963e << i get this error while compiling fluxbox on 8.10. the fluxbox people say it is an inteprid issue [01:13] Logikos: i just don't have any real knowledge of how that particular website is setup. [01:13] zrak: no, because it matches. Do you agree the pattern matches? [01:13] cliechti, could it be that ubuntu is not handling the fan correctly? [01:13] intrepid* [01:13] Good Evening. I asked Ubuntu to remember a password forever for an ftp connection. Now the password has changed. How do I tell it to forget the old password?? [01:13] flo__, maybe check the keyring manager [01:13] K_Dallas: dont know if that is your problem. but it was in our setup. 2 pc were placed close together and the hot air could not get out [01:13] Kumo: is eth0 listed in /etc/network/interfaces? [01:13] tovella: its not just that website, if you google specific games, such as robot rage, it wont work on the other websites either ... but if the game wont load for you either... then i guess there just isnt a way... thanks so much for trying [01:14] DaveCave: go to your /var/log/Xorg.0.log file, pastebin the contents, and submit a bug report of exactly what happened on reboot to launchpad [01:14] K_Dallas: you may run the sensors applet and look at the temperatures [01:14] cliechti, no, it could also be my problem, the laptop underneath is getting very hot and that only when i use ubuntu 8.10 [01:14] anyone else haing the issue with python-setuptools crashing the upgrade? [01:14] ok does anyone know where trash is located? it shouldn't be a hard question [01:14] s/haing/having [01:14] favro: no [01:14] K_Dallas: it could also be something completely different. like broken drivers etc [01:14] Logikos: i wish i could help more, but i just don't play online games. [01:14] tyrath: i couldnt, it wouldnt allow me to open anything kept saying GLX-warning no screen or some crap, so i couldnt even check my logs or anything [01:15] Tyrath: ~/.trash [01:15] DaveCave: set the driver to default [01:15] gleesond: thanks [01:15] tyrath: command for setting default? [01:15] Kumo: that'll make it hard to connect [01:15] Flynsarmy: I'm in the keyrings application. But, I don't see anything for that specific connection. [01:15] !trash | Tyrath, DaveCave [01:15] Tyrath, DaveCave: The location of Trash has changed in 8.04, it is now located in ~/.local/share/Trash | Looking for the trash in previous versions: ~/.Trash [01:15] DaveCave: can't you access the GUI at all? [01:15] <_pisecx_> All, starting from ubuntu 8.10 I can not resize ntfs partition in setup and even in gparted. Is it ok or it's some bug with my hard disk? [01:15] how to remap keyboard scan codes without the .xmodmap? [01:16] jrib: oh snap [01:16] heh [01:16] jrib: that's was my question. DaveCave is having trouble with nvidia and ibex, not finding trash [01:16] Does anyone have any other suggestions of where to look? [01:16] are there any known issues with Marvell Technology Group Ltd. 88E8056 PCI-E Gigabit Ethernet Controller? I can't get it to connect to my linksys WGR54 anymore. I'm running Kubuntu 8.04 KDE3 and thinking about upgrading to 8.10 to see if it makes a dif. any help would be greatly appreciated. I have been working at this for days-- no weeks now to no avail [01:16] jrib: besides that's useless - i'm using ibex [01:16] Tyrath: *g* maybe it's the same and you could at least check? [01:16] Kumo: someone with a default interfaces file might be able to give you the needed line for eth0 in that file [01:17] lol i think i can find the trash thanks [01:17] gleesond: apparently ~/.trash doesn't exist [01:17] >.< [01:17] DaveCave: ignore what the bot sent you, sorry about that :) [01:17] anyone else set up ecryptfs-utils in Ibex? I'm getting errors when I try to `cp -r` directories into ~/Private ("out of memory") [01:17] lol np [01:17] is there a way to edit something in applications panel [01:17] tyrath: i queryed u [01:17] jrib: you're a hero. thanks [01:17] It's not the same as the other interfaces?

[01:18] can anybody tell me if it is an ubuntu bug? [01:18] gleesond: yep jrib. he's right [01:18] favro: my mistake, eth 0 was there. eth 1 isn't [01:18] does anyone know where I can find the wallpaper from the gnome 8.10. I would like to make xubuntu look like gnome [01:18] tacone: do you mean raid1? raid0 has no metadata [01:19] Is it official Ubuntu policy to discourage users from compiling their own custom kernels ? [01:19] scandal: raid0. [01:19] What package do I need to read mp3s? (and flac) [01:19] tacone: there is no way to recover from a raid0 failure [01:19] scandal: i mean metadata you get from dmraid -rD [01:19] Alright, I can now boot into 8.10 from the liveCD but for some reason I get I/O errors when installing. The CD check from the boot menu doesn't report any errors though, MD5 sums are correct as well. What could be wrong? [01:19] The kcontrol app doesn't appear in the intrepid apt repository but does in hardy. howcome? [01:20] tacone: oh , i dont not know the answer to that [01:20] Kumo: which device didn't exist in your errors restarting the network? [01:20] how are the servers holding up with the new release? should I wait to upgrade or can I go ahead and try it now? [01:20] scandal: ok, well, thx anyway :) [01:20] Are there any SMTP protocols for terminal in 8.10? [01:21] hmm must have corrupted my profile somehow :(.

[01:42] jrib: syntax highlighting is broken again.. [01:42] for bits [01:42] fallore: that's a new thing ... I didn't know about that. [01:42] waxhead: no it's not. works fine [01:42] jrib: took me ages mucking about last time to get it to work... [01:42] arooni: one KB equal 2^10 B [01:42] Can someone at least help me recover my boot record? =( [01:42] jrib: sure... [01:42] zrak: 1 byte = 8 bits [01:43] blue_mushroom: i don't know if it's new, but yeah, you can download the drivers or whatever from online. [01:43] waxhead: you installed vim? By default, ubuntu comes only with vim-tiny === qb|away is now known as qb|sleep [01:43] blue_mushroom: yes, i made a misake [01:43] mistake [01:43] Is there currently a way for windows to read ext3 filesystems, or should I stick to ext2 when making my new partition for 8.10? [01:43] Oh... sorry. :D [01:43] arooni: 1MB = 2^10 KB [01:43] hmm anyone know if using the official virtualbox package for 8.04 from there site would work on 8.10? [01:43] so 2^10 = 1024 [01:43] Kumo: I know nothing about bcm cards sorry [01:43] arooni: maybe you should use 64bit version of ubuntu ??? [01:44] Hi, im having a bit of a mare getting my box to start up after doing the upgrade from 8.04 to 8.10. There is lots of moaning from klogd and x server about not being able to write files, and read only file system. Any ideas what's up? I can get into rescue/safe mode and get into gnome, so not sure what the problem is. [01:44] Gigacore, why would that make a difference? i would just have more addressable memory [01:44] fallore: ext3 is just ext2 with journaling. The ext2 drivers for windows can read your ext3 partitions [01:44] !ext3 > fallore [01:44] fallore, please see my private message [01:44] blue_mushroom: and your keyboard? working again? [01:44] thanks a ton jrib :D [01:44] arooni: coz 64 bit version OSes will support large memory and storage spaces [01:44] Is it possible that my tablet and wireless won't work on the Live CD of 8.10, but will work after installing? [01:44] Can anyone help me setup sound on Ubuntu 8.10? [01:45] ok, no one wants to report my bug so I'll do it sometime later :P [01:45] Gigacore, are you saying my 320GB hard drive is not supported in 32 bit ubuntu? [01:45] cliechti: yes... it was something like slow keys [01:45] maybe after exams [01:45] jrib: can you help me with this echo '1' | grep -qE '^[0-9]$' && echo YES || echo NO [01:45] I don't know HOW I enabled them [01:45] no [01:45] arooni: not really, but just guessing it [01:45] Genius314, wouldn't count on it. [01:45] anyone know how to set openoffice.org theme to default? [01:45] blue_mushroom: so it was some setting? where? in gnome? [01:45] !virtualbox [01:45] virtualbox is a x86 !virtualizer. A !free edition is available from !Gutsy as 'virtualbox-ose'. A non-free edition is available at http://virtualbox.org for most Ubuntu releases (help in #vbox) - Setup details at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VirtualBox [01:45] zrak: what about it? that matches [01:45] WHat is the best way to install Eclipse in ubuntu? Using the package manager or via the web site/ [01:45] arooni: 4 gb of memory canno't be addresed by 32 bit processor [01:45] arooni: It will most likely work. I have 500GB in 32-bit Ubuntu. [01:45] yes [01:45] cliechti: but if I disable the touchpad it is still disabled [01:45] amt2, depends what version you want [01:45] but it says NO [01:45] hello [01:45] cliechti: in gnome [01:45] try it [01:46] haha [01:46] I've got an ethernet cable from my ubuntu desktop to the router. Router is giving it DHCP (i.e IP) and I can ping that ip from a separate computer, but the ubuntu machine can't ping the router, any other computers, and the router doesn't recognise it as being connected. I've done every possible option within the network manager.. what the hell is going on? [01:46] !error 5 [01:46] Sorry, I don't know anything about error 5 [01:46] =( [01:46] now solve my prob [01:46] zrak: not here. It says YES [01:46] now solve my prob [01:46] really? [01:46] amt2, if the version in the package manager is new enough for your taste then do that, if it's not, then the site. [01:46] i just updated to ubuntu 8.10 and i have no nm-applet icon..? [01:46] jrib: sorry [01:46] try this one [01:46] when I try to use my downloaded gtk2 themes in my 8.10, it says GTK+ aurora is not installed.. so now how to install it ? [01:46] ok guys, i'm having problems with booting a windows installation, it is on /dev/sda1 i have ran ms-sys, supergrub and tried the "ntldr missing files" fixes and i'm still not getting anywere. anysuggestions besides "use the windows install cd"? [01:46] Hi, getting errors about read only file system and klogd and x server cant start, just upgraded to 8.10 any help would be appreciated. Cheers. [01:46] echo blah | grep, '1' | grep -E '[0-9]' && echo YES || echo NO [01:46] amt2, I needed a newer version than the package manager has for Android development [01:47] waxhead: did that fix your issue? (You still need to do :syntax on) [01:47] oh and the network card driver segfaulted, which is odd cos it didnt under 8.04 [01:47] someone asked about virutalbox and 8.10 - I've got it running [01:47] How out of date is the package manager version? === meoblast is now known as meoblast001 [01:47] I just don't understand why my Graphire 3 would work in 8.04, but not in 8.10, unless they removed the driver from the default install or something... [01:47] can some help me with nm-applet icon [01:47] zrak: what about it? [01:47] jrib: do you know why it doesn't work [01:47] well it says NO [01:47] I need to do a web application involving Oracle, Struts, Jetty/Apache. Do you have any idea if the package manager version is good enough? [01:48] can someone help me with the problem i stated? [01:48] Why did the inventor of Ubuntu got to go into space and I didn't? [01:48] amt2: Should be. [01:48] zrak: it does work. echo blah | grep 1 is going to return nothing. Then you are grepping nothing. And grep doesn't find [0-9] in nothing [01:48] Lando-SpacePimp: Please take non-support questions to #ubuntu-offtopic, thanks [01:48] Guys, lots of things saying that they cant create lock files or the ownership is wrong on startup of 8.10 after upgrading, help please :) [01:48] I'm trying to make a liveusb to install ubuntu but I can't mount the iso on to cdrom0, it says it's not a block device. [01:49] i installed the package "speakup-source" on 8.10... how do i compile this module into the kernel? [01:49] rdvon: Add -o loop as option [01:49] rdvon, mount -o loop /pathto/file /cdrom0 [01:49] Thanks [01:49] rdvon: I had that problem earlier [01:49] I've got an ethernet cable from my ubuntu desktop to the router. Router is giving it DHCP (i.e IP) and I can ping that ip from a separate computer, but the ubuntu machine can't ping the router, any other computers, and the router doesn't recognise it as being connected. I've done every possible option within the network manager.. what the hell is going on? [01:50] jrib: but why do i get YES for this string also echo '+3892322541zzz9' | grep -E '^00|\+[0-9]{2}|[0-9]{3}[1-9][0-9]{6}$' && echo YES || echo NO [01:50] Tommo-dmc_ goto a terminal and type in "ifconfig ethwhatever" and see if you have an ip address [01:50] kitty_: Yeah it's assigned the IP address [01:51] ok, so how many other interfaces do you have on this box? [01:51] zrak: run it like this to see why: echo '+3892322541zzz9' | grep --color -E '^00|\+[0-9]{2}|[0-9]{3}[1-9][0-9]{6}$' [01:51] Is there any way to install Ubuntu from the net from within a live CD? I don't know where the I/O error occurs exactly and I want to rule out the CD. [01:51] have you tried taking the other ones down with ifconfig and seeing if it works with just the one interface up? [01:51] I just built a new desktop computer and need a wifi device for it. I was wondering if anyone in here new which would be better to buy a PCI wifi adapter or a USB wifi dongle? thanks. [01:51] kitty_: only have eth0 (IP) and lo [01:51] * MnemonicPunk is really out of ideas... =( [01:52] Thanks kitty, boozkachu and MnemonicPunk. :) [01:52] Does anyone know if the newer Wacom tablets work by default in 8.10 or not? Maybe it's just the fact that I have an older one? [01:52] do i need to install update-manager-core to upgrade to 8.10? [01:52] ok, are you running dhcp-server ? [01:52] MnemonicPunk: isn't there a cd-check option when you boot from the cd? ms5 sums or something like that [01:52] Anyone else having "read only file-system" errors at boot up? [01:52] cliechti: There is, it doesn't report any errors though. [01:52] kitty_: on ubuntu? i dont think so. the router has a dhcp server [01:52] boozkachu: how did you partition? [01:52] what is a good program to rip audio cds to mp3 that is easy to use? [01:52] ok, can you pastebin me some info ? [01:52] dfgas: there are a bunch. [01:52] is 8.10 stable? any issues u had while upgrading? [01:53] owen1: just a few, yes :> [01:53] jrib: when i do it like this i don't get nothing [01:53] cat /etc/resolv.conf | ifconfig eth0 | route -n [01:53] kitty_: sure, but itll take some time since im typing from oher computer [01:53] echo '+389232zzzzzz25419' | grep --color -E '^00|\+[0-9]{3}[1-9][0-9]{6}$' [01:53] prower: like what? [01:53] rdvon: I didn't nothing has changed in that respect, just did the update. I have a disk for linux [01:53] hmmmm [01:53] dfgas: try soundjuicer [01:53] owen1: for starters expect your cd/dvd drive to close as soon as you open it [01:53] hi all [01:53] can i downgrade gnome 2.24 to 2.22 in intrepid? [01:53] boozkachu: you did the ubuntu update then? I had problems last time I tried that. [01:53] One odd thing I noticed: My install hangs for a long time (few minutes) after it says "loading partitioning program" and actually displaying the partitioning menu. === ArShAm|awaY is now known as ArShAm [01:53] prower: wow. will it be resoved if i wait a few days/weeks? [01:53] zrak: well I get something here [01:53] rdvon, thanks [01:53] rdvon: Yep [01:54] dfgas: remember to go to options and change the file type to the format you want. [01:54] ok then don't do that tommo, lets just try "dhclient eth0" and tell me what the output looks like [01:54] jrib: and for this one echo '+38923225419' | grep --color -E '^00|\+[0-9]{3}[1-9][0-9]{6}$' && echo YES || echo NO [01:54] owen1: there's a workaround on launchpad for it now :> gentoo has included it in their upstream so hopefully [01:54] zrak: anyway, like I said before "+38" matches from +[0-9]{2} [01:54] rdvon: Im having problems with things like klogd not being able to make lock files etc [01:54] what's the best alternative to Windows Movie Maker? [01:54] i modified that [01:54] rdvon: But i can get into gnome fine in rescue mode [01:54] how can i downgrade gnome 2.24 to 2.22? [01:54] jrib: i modified it [01:54] lucax: you can't [01:54] Hi all. [01:54] rdvon: Something has gone awry [01:55] boozkachu: I can't help you there sorry, it sounds like you've surpassed my expertise. [01:55] owen1: beware if you have a network card that's e1000e based as well...although the final version of intrepid was supposed to include a fix my card was bricked by it :< [01:55] hi, anybody can help me? I downloaded a ubuntu theme and tried to install it via the theme manager. It said successful but nothing new is showed on the preview list. I clicked button and found item appeared on the list of tab. But when I selected it, a warn text appeared saying . I don't know how to d [01:55] I need to do this : to start some application with a prefix , like nice [01:55] rdvon: No worries, thanks anyway [01:55] boozkachu: I'd usually just reinstall the os at that point, but I'm lazy ;) === Tommo-dmc_ is now known as Tommo-dmc [01:55] kitty_: dhclient eth0 did a dhcpdiscover and remapped my ip to a different address which immediately started working, connecting to network etc [01:55] MnemonicPunk, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD [01:55] so ? [01:55] lets say change the find behavior , to run with a nice level of 5 by default [01:56] jrib: did you try this one echo '+38923225419' | grep --color -E '^00|\+[0-9]{3}[1-9][0-9]{6}$' && echo YES || echo NO [01:56] Hi. Does anyone know of any good network attached storage that will work with Ubuntu, XP, and Vista? [01:56] kitty_: So it's working now, I'm not sure what initial problem was. Looks like the original dhcp assignment was local and incorrect [01:56] jrib: it says NO [01:56] rdvon: I think i may go down that route, bit pissed off but I should have just made a new partition and gone for a clean install. Oh well. [01:56] I'm having problem with Intrepid [01:56] zrak: that's fine, it doesn't match [01:56] ok, well you're welcome [01:56] I can't install it [01:56] can anyone help me with some boot problems i am having ? [01:56] but why? [01:56] owen1: on the bright side of things, though, if hardy works for you now then there's no need to upgrade at all until at least 2011 :> [01:56] kitty: I'll try [01:56] kitty_: thanks ;) [01:56] yay :D [01:56] kitty_: I am also having boot problems [01:56] as soon as there are bunch of applications that I want to do the nice before running, I cannot think of making symbolic links [01:56] I boot into the cd but it never loads [01:56] I just upgraded, and I have a problem: My old nvidia driver, 173, stoppped working because of kernel interface. The new driver, 177, works insanely slow because I'm running an old Geforce 6600. Also, when I try to install 173 instead, it fails. All packages install, but no glx. When I try to compile Nvidia's 173.80.xx it fails. Help please! [01:56] Rave1_: So no way of doing that from within a running system? [01:57] (liveCD system in my case) [01:57] kitty_: Have you just updated to intrepid? [01:57] harushimo: burn the disk again, if that doesn't work download the iso again. [01:57] zrak: I'm not going to decipher regexps all day, take a look at http://www.regular-expressions.info/ . If you're still not sure why it isn't matching after going through that site, feel free to ask me again [01:57] my gnome deskbar does not have the nm-applet icon [01:57] ok, i upgradded from dapper to fiesty [01:57] help? [01:57] like months ago [01:57] I just downloaded the iso [01:57] prower: ok. i'll wait. [01:57] MnemonicPunk, not that I know of [01:57] harushimo: go into the options menu, there should be an option to check if the disc has any erros. [01:57] insipid [01:57] *errors [01:57] my problem is that now i can't boot my primary ntldr drive [01:57] i don't know if anyone else noticed this either, but when i enable weather information in the clock applet it doesn't actually show the weather? :< [01:57] Holy shit, the ubuntu forums are down? [01:58] Red_wraith: I was just on them. [01:58] I had this same problem Hardy. I couldn't install it [01:58] zrak: here's a hint: if you change the '6' to a '7' in the regexp, it will match [01:58] I get 404 [01:58] I have no idea to work this problem [01:58] Intrepid = insipid = not really that fair to the canonical team but i wanna play with my linux [01:58] excuse me, 503. [01:58] ive had nvidia issues too, for the last year or so, just doesn't work as well as it did on my win install. Moving file manager windows around is jittery, opening new windows renders kind of funny etc [01:58] Every time I enable the nVidia drivers in Ubuntu 8.04, the screen turns black and the monitor has no signal after booting. (nVidia 7600 GT) Any suggestions? [01:58] harushimo: you're talking about booting into the livecd right? what program are you using to burn the disc, if any? [01:58] and thats without compiz or anything [01:58] OOo has chanegd to some weird theme, i cant set human or any other theme for that matter, anyone had similar problems? [01:58] jrib: yes i saw that [01:58] I'm trying to troubleshoot my wireless internet connection, I have a netgear card and the first step in troubleshooting is to go to system-preferences-hardware information and the hardware information is not listed under preferences. I'm new to ubuntu and I don't know where it should be. [01:58] My framerate in a game dropped from 60 to 14 with the new driver. [01:59] I use K3b [01:59] boozkachu: i'd recommend installing it in virtualbox before installing it over your existing hardy installation :> too many bugs [01:59] factotum: try envy, google it. [01:59] jrib: btw thanks a lot for the --color options it's a lifesaver [01:59] The ubuntu forums ARE down... [01:59] prower: Too late dude :) [01:59] yeah booting into the live cd [01:59] harushimo: what program are you using? [01:59] kitarian: what is the problem you are having, describe it in your own words [01:59] I can't boot into live cd but I can boot into the main menu [01:59] rdvon: i tried envy once upon a time [01:59] kitarian-> lspci is it listed? [01:59] program for burning the cd? [01:59] I tried envy. It thought it installed the 173 driver, but glx was still disables. [01:59] K3b [01:59] is there a way to rerun the upgrade script? [02:00] Kitty_: I'm trying to get my wireless internet to work using a netgear card [02:00] cant change OOo theme, anyone had similar issues? [02:00] I tried nvidia-xconfig, which also apparently worked, but still no glx. [02:00] I want to change it to w/e is default [02:00] kitarian, you using ubuntu ? [02:00] harushimo: try burning it again, maybe just use the normal gnome iso burning tool. [02:00] boozkachu, well yeah, i've installed it as well :> didn't expect so many issues after the last few releases being so well done [02:00] kitarian: try ubuntu wiki [02:00] kitty_: yeah [02:00] then again, I'm still using 8.04 [02:00] i'm glad i backed up everything, i doubt the network chipset on my motherboard is going to work properly again though :< [02:00] in upgrading to intrepid im getting a warning about replacing a customized conf for dhclient -- i never customized that file. should i just replace? [02:00] Dammit! When will the foums be up again? [02:00] I did that with Hardy. it didn't work but I'll try it again [02:00] rdvon:i am using the ubuntu wiki [02:00] kitarian, open a terminal, try "iwlist eth0 scan" or whichever interface is your wireless card [02:00] I'm kinda disappointed with intrepid yet. The mouse/keyboard thing was annoying to say the least. :D [02:00] anybody know how to deal with issue? [02:01] kitarian: is this a laptop card or a pc card, I had a pc card once and got it workign. [02:01] pc card [02:01] zrak: yep, I have my grep aliased to grep --color=auto. You might also take a look at glark [02:01] kitarian: do you have your driver cd? [02:01] be back in a few. I need to restart the system [02:01] is this an ndiswrapper card? [02:01] leftfinger1: You probably have to install another GTK engine. Open synaptic and seach for gtk-theme-engine [02:01] I would like to revert openoffice.org to the default theme although I can't seem to do it, any ideas? [02:01] leftfinger1: Maybe the one you need already exists as a package (probably it does) [02:02] i thought about using a BSD for the longest time, but it kernel panics at the cd boot up [02:02] kitarian: I'll pm you with instructions [02:02] MnemonicPunk: leftfinger1: You probably have to install another GTK engine. Open synaptic and seach for gtk-theme-engine [02:02] thanks! I'll try it [02:02] kitty_: it says interface doesn't support scanning [02:02] hi all, does 8.10 still needs medibuntu repository [02:02] Is there a "revert" option so I can ditch intrepid's goodness? [02:03] kitarian try "iwconfig" and see which one it says supports wireless extensions [02:03] anyone have any experiences replacing network manager w/ wicd? [02:03] sorry that's a stupid question. bugger. === aeGIs is now known as aegis [02:03] i would like to thank you all for going ahead with installing 8.10, it's making my life a lot easier har har...that was a joke [02:04] funny... [02:04] also with a core2 duo machine should i be running a 64 bit version of ubuntu? [02:04] I can see why Ubuntu tries to appeal to Windows users... but there's some parts of Windows it really should not mimic. >_> [02:04] i'm back [02:04] hvgotcodes: if its a 64-bit processor [02:04] i was installing the new kernel [02:04] I download the 64 bit version [02:05] Yes, I finally found 173.14.12 on the nvidia website, installing now. Cya all. [02:05] Before updating any graphics drivers, make sure you have irssi installed. :D [02:05] kitty_: it says no wireless extentions [02:05] kitarian, on all interfaces? [02:05] 晕死～咋都是英文哪～有能讲中文的没？ [02:06] I can't get Intrepid to work [02:06] cyhdudu, 有啊 [02:06] When I reboot after enabling the nVidia drivers, the screen is black. Any suggestions? [02:06] Woa, Pidgin speaks UTF-8. xD [02:06] why do my ata-ide disk come up sata ? [02:06] hey guys im looking for a voip peer to peer tool with encryption is there any? [02:06] i think it may be killing my sata controller. [02:06] does the amd64 version do something like irqbalance on it's own or should irqbalance be installed on all multicore PCs? [02:07] mallochigh, you mean they're listed as sd? instead of hd? [02:07] yes [02:07] factotum: how do i tell what version of the core2 duo i have? [02:07] flo__: Log in at another tty, look into /var/log/Xorg~SUMTHIN~.log and see if it says anything about errors. [02:07] I also have sata_sx4 driver that is bombing. [02:07] Maybe a conflict? [02:07] hvgotcodes: try uname -a [02:07] mallochigh just upgraded kernel huh, get used to it "P [02:07] 啊呀～还真有讲中文的啊～太好啦～这个咱们怎么聊啊？这里全都是英语的！ [02:07] could it cd not work because of the mirror I d/l from doesn't have all the neccessary files for iso [02:07] I mean the not it [02:07] !cn [02:07] factotum: it just gives me kernel info [02:07] For Ubuntu help in Chinese 您可以访问中文频道： #ubuntu-cn 或者 #ubuntu-tw 或者 #ubuntu-hk [02:07] or lspci or something [02:07] i want to know the processor versioon [02:07] when i upgraded from dapper to fiesty i noticed it did that too, and i had to redo my configs and stuff [02:08] I introduced a sata pci card and notice the difference between ubunuto and knoppix in its ability to handle the code. [02:08] Both same kern version [02:08] Both configSx4=y in the config-kernel file. [02:08] hvgotcodes: from a terminal window you could type "cat /proc/cpuinfo" [02:08] hvgotcodes: cat /proc/cpuinfo [02:08] MnemonicPunk: ok, I'll have a look at that. Thank you [02:08] tovella: thanx [02:08] yup, that'll do it [02:08] i tried to install and i got an installation failed [error 5] input/output error (often due to a faulty cd/dvd disk or drive). i know with ubuntu i was having some trouble burning it, but it worked (or so i thought) with nero in windows. does anyone have any idea what i should do to make sure this doesn't happen again? [02:09] can someone help me with the new network manager?

[02:10] n8tuser: my nm-applet icon has disappeared [02:10] if the image is good when you burn it, and the image is good after you burn it (like you used the "check cd contents" in the boot menu) and it still bombs, then you'll probably have to use the alternate install cd [02:10] Flannel: hardy never worked for me, so install [02:10] harushimo: You need the alternate CD, and thats a textmode installer [02:10] harushimo: you just boot the CD [02:10] CMD_L1N3-> try to restart x.. ctrl+backspace and re-login [02:11] i have tried that. restarted computer. restarted network manager [02:11] because I got the textmode installer for Hardy, it didn't work for me [02:11] hello [02:11] n8tuser: i have tried that. restarted computer. restarted network manager [02:11] i'll try it again [02:11] Is there a way to set up a Linux print server that will tunnel to one over SMB? [02:11] where would I get the text mode installer [02:11] fallore: I was getting exactly the same error but for some unknown reason it seems to be installing now. [02:12] is it possiple to download Ubuntu but still have windows? [02:12] CMD_L1N3-> if you right click on that panel and then add it [02:12] harushimo: the "alternate" installation CD [02:12] PATX yes [02:12] hi. If i installed 8.04 over 8.10, would that work as a downgrade?

[02:14] n8tuser: no. [02:14] can some one help me out i downloaded firefox 3 adn dont know how to install it [02:14] mnemonicpunk: how far did the install get before it failed? [02:14] waxhead: did you do :syntax on [02:14] Dorobo18jp: What version of Ubuntu are you on? [02:14] kitty_: i would rather keep the gnome applet. it is running just no icon [02:14] my ~/.vimrc has syntax=on already [02:15] so it looks like all the pkgs were installed correctly [02:15] Yes, you had me check the /etc/network/interfaces file, and when I rebooted the xorg.conf file, it started working [02:15] fallore: First few %. But now it got past copying the files. [02:15] hmm good question not the new one the one before [02:15] but It keeps thowing an error [02:15] fallore: It just crashed with an error. =( [02:15] http://pastie.org/305686 [02:15] Dorobo18jp: lsb_release -a [02:15] (Was on my friends laptop, why I'm using a different name) [02:15] that sucks, mnemonicpunk :/ i think i'm going to try burning the iso again [02:15] CMD_L1N3, it doesn't replace it, it just lets you have something if you can't get your network monitor applet to work [02:15] hi, anyone can help me, i install vmware in ubuntu 8.10 but it reminds "asm/semaphore.h: no such file or directory" [02:16] 8.04 [02:16] Dorobo18jp: Then you already have firefox 3 installed [02:16] oh lord.... [02:16] waxhead: hmm? [02:16] Hello, everyone [02:16] n8tuser: You had me edit the /etc/network/interfaces file. Didn't initially work, but after restarting the xorg.conf, it did. [02:16] jrib: I think it's been an error in my .vimrc file [02:16] sigh...

[02:18] jeeves_Moss: samba has alot of oberheda [02:18] overhead [02:18] So, yeah, any ideas n8tuser? [02:18] GodfatherofEire-> can you paste in pastebin that /etc/network/interfaces file ? [02:18] and diskts,cpu and such limits as welll [02:18] unable to install nvidia drivers [02:18] n8tuser: i don't need the launcher. the icon that you can view available networks is missing [02:18] DeVnOrE, how do I squeeze ANY extra speed outta it? [02:18] * DeVnOrE_ shound be ignored [02:19] * DeVnOrE_ is drunk [02:19] I have been working on a project on an Ubuntu server. I write my scripts then upload them to the server using FTP. 2 days ago, I started getting messages that said, "permission denied." C'mon! I'm the administrator for the server! I grant permissions! I checked the permissions of the folder, the file I'm trying to upload, etc., etc. I can't figure out what's wrong. Any suggestions? [02:19] CMD_L1N3, right click on one of your panels, add to panel, then find "network monitor" and click it [02:19] DeVnOrE, it just seems that the trans level is slow [02:20] CMD_L1N3-> if you click on application launcher and down near the bottom is the administration, then select network [02:20] Also, I went to the office where the server is today, and all the ownerships and permissions seem to be just like they should be. [02:20] http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/65991/ [02:20] hey, mirc equivalent for linux? [02:20] (ubuntu) [02:20] bitchx [02:20] Terabyte: irssi, xchat, mIRC under wine... [02:21] thanks [02:21] kitty_: Not bitchx. It's dangerous (and not in the repos) [02:21] Another questtion... I do not have a recovery CD will it be safe to download Ubunta? [02:21] jeeves_Moss: i can awnswer that in the morning. at the moment i'm just comming home strom a frat-party [02:21] GodfatherofEire-> which interface do you want connected to the internet? btw line 7 is wrong it is dhcp not dhcpow [02:21] Terabyte: given that you are one of those masochists that uses mIRC, I'd suggest the last one for the least difficult switch. irssi will likely make you cry. It's too simple and easy :) [02:22] DeVnOrE, lol, must be nice [02:22] Must've accidentally added that [02:22] jeeves_Moss: @ the moment i can just say that samba has alot of overherad [02:22] i am trying to restore a dual boot system, sda1 -> fat16 win95 system, sda3 -> /boot, sda6 -> win2kas... when i try to boot the "other operating systems" in grub, it just stalls with a "Starting up ..." prompt, there is no other warnings or errors, anyone want to offer helps? [02:22] n8tuser: that is not one mine [02:22] Terabyte: The equivalent of mIRC would be Xchat in Ubuntu, Konversation in Kubuntu [02:22] GodfatherofEire-> and i have suggested you read man interfaces so you may understand those parameters. [02:23] Terabyte: I like irssi. In all seriousness, mIRC works, as do all the other suggestions presented (except bitchx, I guess.) [02:23] n8tuser: i am using ubuntu 8.10 [02:23] DeVnOrE, well, I just think it's REALY sad that this thing is transfering so slow [02:23] Terabyte: a nother less graphical solutaion is irssi [02:23] for anyone familair with rdiff-backup can i just run: rdiff-backup --print-statistics /home/chasetoys /media/seagate320/backup/ ..... as a cronjob entry every day and and rdiff-backup will do the right things, i.e. backing up the changes from the last time it synced. and will i always have the latest files on the backup? [02:23] wow Ubuntu 8.10 is awesome [02:23] CMD_L1N3-> after you click application launcher, do you see adminstration on the menu ? [02:23] everything works perfect [02:23] can I add a repo from hardy in my intrepid to download older versions of packages? [02:24] is there anyway i can donate via paypal? [02:24] n8tuser: yes. but there is only 'network tools'. no 'network' [02:24] jeeves_Moss: that's just the way samba works [02:24] Anyone run Ubuntu 8.10 on a Macbook with Atheros wireless card in it? [02:24] Is there a way to set up a Linux print server that will tunnel to one over SMB? (On another host)? [02:24] MaT-dg: Probably not, they likely depend on newer versions [02:24] Visitor15: Me [02:24] incadudeF: contact your LoCo team and see how you can help. [02:24] NotADJ: How is it? Detected automatically? [02:24] guess nfs could be faster, (but less secure) [02:24] CMD_L1N3-> hang on..let me check [02:24] Terabyte: do you know how to use ssh? How about screen? [02:24] Visitor15: It is fine, but its range is limited, yes. [02:24] LoCo team? Sorry im a newb [02:24] incadudeF: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LoCoTeamList [02:24] n8tuser: ok. thanks [02:25] Flannel, I just need 1 java based application.. [02:25] ssh what? to do what [02:25] MaT-dg: Which one? [02:25] NotADJ: Ah well, glad to see it's finally recognized without having to manually install it. [02:25] Sorry bout that, I use both n8tuser [02:25] I'm having major problems; X doesn't want to load. It just freezes... [02:25] I.e. I need both working [02:25] hello every one [02:25] any ideas? [02:25] Incadude of course [02:25] tom___: what does xorg.log say? [02:25] were would be a more appropriate place to ask for help with boot problems in dual boot? [02:25] Flannel, azureus 2.5.0.4, hardy installed that version, intrepid installs vuze 4.0.0.2 [02:26] tom___: check /var/log/Xorg.0.log [02:26] /var/log/Xorg.log (or something) [02:26] ok hold on [02:26] Hey cycom [02:26] CMD_L1N3-> go to system -->preferences-->menu and then add that network and it should show up on the application launcher afterwards [02:26] yes i know how to use ssh [02:26] Terabyte: da comrade? [02:26] oh [02:26] hi, guys. [02:26] I need help to install Nvidia drivers in intrepid, i have a GeForce mx 440 [02:26] NotADJ: How about the sound? Does it still require some tweaking? [02:26] MaT-dg: azureus exists in intrepid, version 3.1.1: http://packages.ubuntu.com/intrepid/azureus [02:26] Hi :) I've a little problem. I've to intall a Ubuntu Livecd, but i haven't got a cd reader :P Can i copy the cd contents into a folder (or a partition) and use grub to boot it? [02:26] Terabyte: screen is another command. Is the machine you have linux on a desktop or a laptop? Do you leave it on all the time? [02:26] GodfatherofEire-> will both interfaces be connected to same router/gateway? [02:26] Visitor15: Speakers are fine [02:26] MaT-dg: just don't choose to install vuze as well. [02:27] is there a way that i can install intrepid without burning it to a cd? [02:27] Not always [02:27] jvrmrtn: it said somthing bout that in the relaesenotes [02:27] ok thanks [02:27] it's a virual machine [02:27] desktop tho [02:27] fallore: USB [02:27] The wired, most likely, the wireless, not always [02:27] brb, trying to boot from installed Ubuntu 8.10. Wish me luck! :D [02:27] i have a broadcom wireless card. if i upgrade to 08.10 will i retain my ndiswrapper setup or will i have to do it all over again?

[02:27] GodfatherofEire-> only one at a time, or else you'd get a hell of a routing problem, so choose now, which one? [02:27] i guess i can buy a shirt. :-D [02:27] !who | GodfatherofEire [02:27] GodfatherofEire: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [02:28] w/o graphics opt,,, [02:28] no help here at all? [02:28] kitty_: ? [02:28] Hi :) I've a little problem. I've to intall a Ubuntu Livecd, but i haven't got a cd reader :P Can i copy the cd contents into a folder (or a partition) and use grub to boot it? [02:28] kitty_: ? [02:28] i'm in command line at the moment, is there any way I can post Xorg.0.log to you guys? [02:28] kitty repeat? [02:28] Feldegast-> what is the contents of your /etc/resolv.conf ? [02:28] CMD_L1N3: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager-applet/+bug/249404/comments/4 [02:28] Well, I'm using the wired connection right now to Connect, so I can just run sudo ifup eth0 [02:28] n8tuser: i don't think i stated my question right. I don't need a nm-applet launcher i need the icon that show available network and lets you switch from wired to wireless networks [02:28] !usb > Ravic [02:28] Ravic, please see my private message [02:28] Ravic: How about a USB drive? [02:28] n8tuser: please i mean no offense [02:28] trying to find help with boot issues (dual boot) that stopped working after upgrading from dapper [02:28] kitty_: Dapper to Hardy? [02:29] My old laptop don't support USB boot :( :( [02:29] 8.04 didnt work on my Toshiba Laptop. But 8.10 works perfect. [02:29] fiesty [02:29] CMD_L1N3-> no offense taken ..but for that network icon to show up, it has to be added in the main menu first [02:29] Flannel, nope, install vuze again, I even installed this .deb https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/intrepid/amd64/azureus/2.5.0.4-1ubuntu4 and guess what? It installed vuze 4.0.0.2 [02:29] Ravic: Netboot [02:29] kitty_: grub is using UUIDs from now on [02:29] !netboot [02:29] Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways. Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation for documentation. Problems during install? See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CommonProblemsInstall and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DapperReleaseNotes/UbiquityKnownIssues - Don't want to use a CD? Try http://tinyurl.com/3exghs - See also !automate [02:29] ah, can't help, i've got rid of all boot issues by virtualisations, no doubt opening another can of worms [02:29] n8tuser> it is empty [02:29] CMD_L1N3-> and i didnt say nm-applet [02:29] i have a broadcom wireless card. if i upgrade to 08.10 will i retain my ndiswrapper setup or will i have to do it all over again? [02:29] kitty_: er.... you upgraded from dapper to feisty? recently? [02:29] No way... Only cd or HD [02:29] ubuntu works fine, other os's don't work at all [02:29] :/( [02:29] you have to check the UUIDS of the disks... [02:29] Feldegast-> what is empty? [02:29] Anyway to see if i can get a better OS driver for my intel graphics chipset? [02:29] I think I may redo sister's PC... [02:30] hmmm, is there anyway I can eject the live CD while running it? [02:30] kitty_: check the UUID of the windows partition. [02:30] n8tuser my resolv.conf [02:30] Feldegast-> oh, then thats the reason you can not resolve a hostname , you are not pointing to a nameserver [02:30] grub doesn't care about uuid [02:30] Hey, I just installed Ubuntu 8.10 and its asking me for a Username and Password, I have not set one is there a default one? Thanks [02:30] kitty_: Did you upgrade from Dapper straight to Feisty? [02:30] my keyboard is screwd up since the upgrade. very annoying [02:30] My Motherboard don't support Net and USB boot... So i want to use grub to load the live cd... I think it's possible, but i don't know which params i've to use in menu.lst [02:30] if i apt-get install a program (say irssi), how do i make it appear in the 'start' menu? [02:31] i had to use the alternate install cd and i had to over-write my dapper install [02:31] n8tuser, I also use the wireless more often, so its probably a better idea to go with the wireless [02:31] Terabyte: depends of the program [02:31] cause the apt-get update, and distro broke my box [02:31] n8tuser i set 2 dns servers in what i thought was edit network connections [02:31] Danny1-> you should have created one during install [02:31] DeVnOrE irssi specifically then [02:31] man, i wanna drive out to suns headquarters and hug the virtualbox devs, i can keep InDesign and Illustrator around now! Wooo! Problem now is that I can keep taking my work home with me...grrr [02:31] MaT-dg: vuze is "recommended" by azureus, which means in most package managers, it installs vuze as well as azurues if you tell it to install azureus. [02:31] DeVnOrE in principle what is needed? [02:31] how do i change my resolution since upgrading to 8.10? [02:32] n8tuser: this is what I have done in the past but the installation did not promote me to set one [02:32] it wont going higher than 800x600 [02:32] MaT-dg: Ironically, vuze *requires* azrueus. You should have regular azrueus as well. [02:32] i have a broadcom wireless card. if i upgrade to 08.10 will i retain my ndiswrapper setup or will i have to do it all over again? [02:32] !dns [02:32] DNS is an acronym for Domain Name System, and is an internet system used to translate names into IP Address. [02:32] IT WERKS! :D [02:32] Thanks for your help. =) [02:32] !screen [02:32] screen is a terminal multiplexer. See http://www.kuro5hin.org/story/2004/3/9/16838/14935 and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GNU_Screen [02:32] GodfatherofEire-> then comment out line7 and add auto wlan0 at the end [02:32] !proftp [02:32] Sorry, I don't know anything about proftp [02:32] kitty_: Alright, so you're on a fresh install right now? [02:32] -> Off [02:32] i've been using it for about 3 months or so so "freshish" i'd like not to have to reinstall either windows or ubuntu [02:33] Feldegast-> so whats the contents of your /etc/resolv.conf now? [02:33] Danny1-> you can reboot to a liveCD and add the user manually [02:33] Is there any reason that using a usb hard drive as an ftp root for proftpd would make it so that I cannot write with that ftp connection? [02:33] kitty_: Feisty isn't supported anymore. You should have installed something more recent. You should either attempt an upgrade to Gutsy, or reinstall Hardy. [02:33] Ok, save, restart and If when I'm back I'll let you know if it worked or not [02:33] Flannel, ok, u know how I can 'un-recommend' vuze when installing azureus? [02:33] I'm stuck upgrading my wife's 8.04 to 8.10. I keep getting an error like 'upgrade from intrepid to hardy is not supported by this tool'. Its messed up somehow and I don't know how to fix it. I can do a clean install, but I shouldn't need to. What do I do to fix a bad upgrade? [02:33] kitty_: In the future, upgrade LTS to LTS (which is possible, you can go straight from 6.06 to 8.04, and in a few years you'll be able to go straight from 8.04 to 10.04) [02:34] MaT-dg: Just deselect it for installation [02:34] whatever help me with the dual boot problem? [02:34] \\for anyone familair with rdiff-backup can i just run: rdiff-backup --print-statistics /home/chasetoys /media/seagate320/backup/ ..... as a cronjob entry every day and and rdiff-backup will do the right things, i.e. backing up the changes from the last time it synced. and will i always have the latest files on the backup? [02:34] n8tuser: Also, would there be any way to roll back to the 0.6 Network manager just in case 0.7 becomes too problematic? [02:34] i have a broadcom wireless card. if i upgrade to 08.10 will i retain my ndiswrapper setup or will i have to do it all over again? [02:34] n8tuser it is blank (except for the comment at the top) i need to know how to tell ubuntu to use specific dns servers i think [02:34] kitty_: It's not whatever. Right now you're on an unsupported version of Ubuntu, which is dangerous. You really need to upgrade, and I wanted to impress that upon you. Now, what "doesn' [02:34] kitty_: what "doesn't work" when booting to the other OSes? [02:35] wow [02:35] ok [02:35] Feldegast-> an entry of nameserver x.x.x.x x.x.x.x if what your isp allowed you to use [02:35] can anyone help me shut down apache on ubuntu ? having problems not that i've set it up... [02:35] ok fine how do i even tell what version of ubuntu i'm running on so i can report it to you and we can get over your molehill ? [02:35] MaT-dg: Select azureus in synaptic, it'll say "we need to instlal X Y and Z", go unmark vuze before hitting "apply" [02:35] hello, i have a question, how do i change display resolutions in 8.10? it seems the X11 doesnt care about xorg.conf and the "graphical" program only gives me 800x600 (i can get way more). Thanks. [02:35] GodfatherofEire-> i guess so, but try it first [02:35] agoole: sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 stop [02:35] How do I .tar.gz a directory from the command line? [02:35] i've just installed a minimal 8.10, installed "xorg" and openbox, but startx crashes at X [02:35] I will, back in a bit if it doesnt work [02:35] so this is andresjweb and andresj_*. finally the network works. turns out the cable broke (internally or somthing) at the exact same day as i tested Intrepid, lol. [02:36] I'm trying to install Ubunto 8.10 ... [02:36] Flannel, got it, was working with terminal.. [02:36] maxbaldwin: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FileCompression#Command%20Line%20Usage [02:36] maxbaldwin: tar cvjf file.tar.gz directoryname [02:36] thanks Flannel [02:36] dual partition 500G sata II, 400g ntfs, 100g ext3, ubuntu already installed, i started the windows install, but when it went to reset the windows install wasnt in the boot loader [02:36] maxbaldwin : also try man tar [02:36] agoole-> /etc/init.d/apache2 stop ? [02:36] I'm trying to install Ubunto 8.10 ... It's been sitting on the "Installing System" window for about 20 minutes now at 82%, "Configuring apt", "Scanning the mirror..." --- what's up? [02:36] Anyways, now the mouse (USB mouse) is not working. Is there a way to go back to how it was before i enabled unsupported upgrades? [02:36] Flannel: will it restart next time i boot up again ? [02:36] and others [02:36] agoole: Yes [02:36] maxbaldwin: sorry, tar cvzf file.tar.gz directoryname [02:36] ffs, the keyboard problem only exists with my account. the guest account works as expected. which file do i need to erase to get a working keyboard... [02:36] Flannel: arg...perfect,thank you [02:36] kitty_: what "doesn't work" when booting to the other OSes? What does it do? [02:37] hey! :) [02:37] http://pastebin.com/d57b82b82 [02:37] hi [02:37] Is there a way I can force it past checking mirrors? [02:37] when i try to boot the "other operating systems" it just says "Starting up..." and freezes there [02:37] what i cant but stuff with paypal... :-( [02:37] but=buy [02:37] dual partition 500G sata II, 400g ntfs, 100g ext3, ubuntu already installed, i started the windows install, but when it went to reset the windows install wasnt in the boot loader, so i cant continue install, advice? [02:37] haha [02:38] incadudeF: What do you want to buy? [02:38] I've been reading guides all day and still haven't been able to figure out how to fix my world of warcraft/WINE installation. Could someone please help? I installed WOW in Wine (1.1.7) and the installation worked just fine. But once I tried to start the game, everything was incredibly choppy and laggy. I really have no idea why. I've played this game on this same computer using Windows before I installed Linux a year or so ago. [02:38] hallo [02:38] a ubuntu shirt [02:38] Hilton: Thats strange, it happened to me once. If you are using the GUI from the Live CD, cancel it and restart. Just my suggestion though, wait for other replies as well. [02:38] Anyone help with ubuntu mobile on a samsung q1 ultra? [02:38] hello, i have a question, how do i change display resolutions in 8.10? it seems the X11 doesnt care about xorg.conf and the "graphical" program only gives me 800x600 (i can get way more). Thanks. [02:38] incadudeF: oh. Are you in the US? or no? [02:38] Flannel, ok thx for your help but it still doesn't work: it will not even start when 'vuze' is not installed, I really need to find a way to install azureus version 2.5.0.4 (NO vuze crap :P) [02:38] yeah in the US [02:38] elvisds: I can't even cancel. I didn't boot into the live system, though, just went straight to install. [02:38] nouMenon: your using the default drivers, they wont support WOW [02:38] Hilton-> perhaps the servers are busy ..so its looking for available one? [02:38] hello everybody, i am thinking about upgrading to 8.10. i just read the release notes, and there seems to be a problem with geforce 4 and other nvidia cards, they are put back to nv driver due to incompatibilities. is there a way to use 3d acceleration in 8.10 with geforce 4? [02:38] i have a broadcom wireless card. if i upgrade to 08.10 will i retain my ndiswrapper setup or will i have to do it all over again? [02:38] n8tuser: im back. do you mean add a launcher with the command 'nm-applet' ? [02:38] i got my AR242x working with ath5k, however it's rather slow, and what little speed i have seems to come in bursts, what could be causing this? [02:38] DaveCave, what do you mean I'm using the default drivers? How do I figure that out? [02:38] n8tuser: For 20+ minutes? [02:38] incadudeF: http://usshop.ubuntu.com/ [02:39] nouMenon , ati or nvidia card? [02:39] Arezura, ATI [02:39] get Envyng [02:39] they dont accept paypal [02:39] Flannel: it says I can remove apache, if i do sudo apt-get remove apache, and tried apache2 ....how do I remove it ? [02:39] CMD_L1N3-> nope, i said if it does not appear under administration, add it first, then add it via the app launcher [02:39] anyone familiar with ubuntu mobile? [02:39] incadudeF: https://shop.canonical.com/ They do though. [02:39] DaveCave, I was told by some people not to use Envy because it's unstable and I had problems with it before, is it ok with 8.06 Hardy Herring? [02:39] agoole: You want to remove it completely from your system? or what? [02:39] Hilton-> be patient, its extremely busy now..give it 20 more [02:39] they wont ship to me [02:39] hmm, i havent had much luck with the ati in my mbp but have in my imac.. one thing it you want to use opengl and not d3d [02:39] How do you feeling in 8.10?? [02:39] nouMenon, with ATI it usually works better [02:39] Flannel: yes, for now, [02:39] I have a pc running the live cd with no os installed on the hdd. I cant install to the hdd like i want to since it fails with an io error (i think the live cd is corrupted) is the anyway of downloading an iso from the net and either installing with that, or ejecting the live cd and burning it. I found instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromLinux but it requires I edit the grub config files, [02:39] which I beleive I can't do with the live CD. Any suggestions for getting my pc in a useable state [02:40] Didn't work n8tuser [02:40] nouMenon it took me awhile to get it working with my Nvidia card [02:40] DaveCave, is there a preferable place I could download Envy? [02:40] i have a broadcom wireless card. if i upgrade to 08.10 will i retain my ndiswrapper setup or will i have to do it all over again? [02:40] Hey, doing 8.04 to 8.10 upgrade here on debootstrapped (i.e. built) ubuntu system... do i have to go through the GUI upgrader, or "do-release-upgrade", or can i just update the sources.list??? This upgrade has failed for me 100% in the past. [02:40] anyone? [02:40] it defaults to d3d [02:40] agoole: completely? Including all configs and stuff? [02:40] GodfatherofEire-> what do you have in your /etc/network/interfaces file? [02:40] !envy | nouMenon [02:40] nouMenon: envyng is an updated version of the *UNSUPPORTED* envy package. It is now part of the ubuntu universe repository (envyng-gtk OR envyng-qt) we suggest you use envyng if every other (official/supported) method fails! it can have various results from works, to fails!!! if you want the very latest drivers from the manufacturer you use them at your own risk [02:40] !envy [02:40] nouMenon, i believe it is sudo apt-get install envyng-core can i get somenoe to verify? [02:40] Flannel: yup, nothing important is there, so total removal [02:40] agoole: alright, sudo apt-get remove --purge apache2 apache2.2-common apache2-mpm-worker [02:41] I had the file modified like you said, and it didn't work [02:41] Right now, It's operating on eth0 [02:41] xarball i believe you can go strait to do-release-upgrade [02:41] nouMenon , hold on i will look at my config file to see what exactly i put in there [02:41] DaveCave: you seem to know about issues with nvidia cards. i have a geforce 4, may i update to 8.10? in the release notes i read something about problems with the nvidia driver, only nv seems to be usuable... is that true? [02:41] !who | GodfatherofEire [02:41] GodfatherofEire: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [02:41] Arezura, thank you very much. [02:41] damaltor: do not upgrade to 8.10 not yet [02:41] a [02:41] DaveCave, can I get it through Add/Erase Applications? [02:41] DaveCave: ok thanks [02:41] n8tuser : is there a difference between that and just manually editing sources.list? [02:41] (i.e. do-release-upgrade) [02:41] noumenon: yes, make sure you set it to all applications [02:41] Anyone familiar with ubuntu mobile on samsung q1 ultra? [02:42] Hi === john is now known as Guest94938 [02:42] MaT-dg: We could try grabbing a hardy deb, sure: http://packages.ubuntu.com/hardy/azureus (the "all" link near the bottom next to package size) [02:42] hello, i have a question, how do i change display resolutions in 8.10? it seems the X11 doesnt care about xorg.conf and the "graphical" program only gives me 800x600 (i can get way more). Xrand doesnt seem to work either. I was used to get 1024x768 with VESA driver, now i can't get more than 800x600. [02:42] xarball i would think it would still use sources.list so take your pick [02:42] Flannel: perfect, its removing, thank you so much, been trying to get this done for too long [02:42] I try to boot from the usb stick but all i get is a comma and it sits there. [02:42] n8tuser: i'm sorry i still don't understand. network is not available to install or add in the admin menu [02:42] So how do I cancel or skip this scanning mirrors thing? Do I have to just power off? [02:42] hi, how do i disable when i type a command that doesn't exist, it searches packages for the file? [02:42] damaltor: i had nvidia working on my 8.04, but once 8.10 it wouldnt even load GUI its a known bug right now, still yet to be solved [02:42] binmonkey: I have a broadcom wireless card (b43 I think) and upgraded to 8.10--it worked on first boot--not sure if it kept the ndiswrapper setup or not--forgot how to check [02:42] Did ubuntu 8.10 sovle the problem LOAD/UNLOAD CYCLE COUNT? [02:42] xarball i dont really know the contents of the script do-release-upgrade either [02:42] N8tuser: Also, the wlan0 isn't being recognized as a wireless connection, its showing up as a wired connection. The wired and wireless connections are supposedly unmanaged, and I cant connect to anything except this wired connection. [02:42] DaveCave: can you tell me where i can see if this card is supported again? or better, will it be supported again ever? [02:42] DaveCave, it doesn't appear to have envying or envy in Add/Remove Applications. [02:42] hi. I have installed punkbuster. How to open it? [02:43] the toolbar where all the windows minimize disappeared! How i fix it? [02:43] so is there any viruses for ubuntu? Just wanted to know. [02:43] n8tuser : thx, will do [02:43] damaltor: what nvidia card you have? [02:43] jbg7474: thanks. have you had any drops? that's a sign of using the non ndiswrapper setup? [02:43] Did ubuntu 8.10 sovle the problem LOAD/UNLOAD CYCLE COUNT? [02:43] nouMenon , ok edit your config.wtf in the WTF folder and add this to the file: SET gxApi "opengl" [02:43] CMD_L1N3-> first you do this... system->preferences->main menu and then add the app you need [02:43] flannel: appears somewhere along the line i have upgraded to hardy herron. so now that thats over, did you look at my pastebin ? [02:43] the toolbar where all the windows minimize disappeared! How i fix it? [02:43] DaveCave: nvidia gforce 4 (indeed a gf 4 420 go in a notebook.. but the usual nvidia driver worked great since feisty) [02:43] I have installed punkbuster. How to open it? [02:43] that should smooth it out alot [02:44] * Fr0zen__ is deinstalling 8.10 and going back to Vista... [02:44] :( [02:44] broadcom drivers dont work [02:44] i wish they did I love 8.10 [02:44] GodfatherofEire-> lets back up a little bit, your wifi nic card is not recognized? [02:44] Arezura, my gxApi was originally at opengl and it didn't work. I changed it to d3d because a guide recommended it and it still didn't work. I will change it back to opengl now, but it isn't going to work quite yet. [02:44] n8tuser ty working now :) [02:44] le000: click on your top toolbar and click "New panel" then add the program manager applet to it. [02:44] how do you remove google gadgets program [02:44] Feldegast-> great..am happy [02:44] Fr0zen__: not even with ndiswrapper? [02:44] N8tuser, it shows up as recognized and installed by ndiswrapper, but not the new network manager [02:44] hello, i have a question, how do i change display resolutions in 8.10? it seems the X11 doesnt care about xorg.conf and the "graphical" program only gives me 800x600 (i can get way more). Xrand doesnt seem to work either. I was used to get 1024x768 with VESA driver, now i can't get more than 800x600. [02:45] Ahh it finally went past it [02:45] damaltor: yes the 177 drivers will support that card, and it is supported in 8.10 but there is just a bug at the moment, should be solved soon, check back for updates every now and then [02:45] nouMenon, is it just choppy or is there wierd garbage on the screen? [02:45] Just jumped to 94% hardware now. [02:45] http://speedbump.ws/?p=12 [02:45] DaveCave: ok great. where can i look that up? [02:45] Hilton-> see another 20 is all it took :P [02:45] Fr0zen__, my broadcom works out of the box [02:45] damaltor i tried that one [02:45] Fr0zen__, what doesnt work [02:45] Arezura, it's just incredibly choppy. Even the log-in screen chops so bad that it takes my mouse about 5-6 seconds to register movement. [02:45] Fr0zen__, works fine here [02:45] ANyone have experience with ubuntu mobile on samsung q1 ultra [02:45] They must have borrowed this gauge from Microsoft - 10 minutes to get to 82%, 40 minutes to get to 83%, 3 minutes to 100%. [02:45] my broadcome wifi card, it's the 4328 dell draft-n [02:45] who here got a Crossover key? [02:45] Hi wanted to know what is the minimum ram/cpu needed to run xubuntu [02:45] ;) [02:46] are you sure your using the fglrx driver? [02:46] Thanks for all your suggestions. Have to give up this PC now. [02:46] i loaded up the B34 driver from the menu as directed and it installed fine says in use but i cant turn the wifi card on etc [02:46] Does anyone know what directory icon files are stored in for Ubuntu 8.04? [02:46] Fr0zen__, aaahhh [02:46] Flannel, yes that worked! I have my good old version of azureus back, thank you! [02:46] GodfatherofEire-> lets start troubleshooting what you got, i dont recall all the details of earlier convo...which wifi nic card do you have? [02:46] Arezura, is there a way to check? I've seen two different things on my computer. One place (my xorg config) said it was the fglrx driver, but another spot said it was the Mesa driver. [02:46] got any idea billy? [02:46] Hello channel! [02:46] Anyone here have experience with ubuntu mobile not booting. [02:47] thanks figured it out [02:47] N8tuser, you remember Malgr1? That was me on my friend's comp [02:47] Hi wanted to know what is the minimum ram/cpu needed to run xubuntu [02:47] tutah, im pretty sure xubuntu runs on a 1ghz cpu and 256mb ram [02:47] tutah: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SystemRequirements [02:47] GodfatherofEire-> no i can not remember things here, i have far too many things to prioritize [02:47] N8tuser: Realtek RT8185, was working yesterday, shut down last night/this morning, stopped working [02:47] No prob [02:47] ATI radeon works fine with ubuntu? [02:48] What HDTV cards work with Ubuntu out of the box? [02:48] n8tuser: okay. i'll brb [02:48] Guys I don't have much experience in linux so sorry for asking such dumb question. Is Ubuntu a KDE system or Gnome? [02:48] Flannel and what about 128mb [02:48] GodfatherofEire-> and the driver for RT8185 is loaded? [02:48] anyone familiar with the "ntldr files missing" problem cause it appears that is the closest problem to what i am having, and help would be appreciated [02:48] elvisds: I have ATI Radeon card and it works fine [02:48] Anyone know where icon files are kept? [02:48] douglas: by default, gnome [02:48] does anyone know how I can probe in what power management mode the hard disk is ? [02:48] N8tuser: yep, it's loaded and was working without incident before the 8.10 update [02:48] The kernel interface for drivers below 177.xx for nvidia cards refuses to compile. Can someone help me? [02:48] tensei: check files ending with "png" in /usr/share/ and /usr/share/pixmaps [02:49] littlelambda, Thanks... But then why do I download KDE applications and they work? [02:49] binmonkey: no, no drops--wireless connection is rock solid [02:49] tensei: try /usr/share/icons [02:49] one other thing to try might to be to download crossover games trial and intall it that way and then copy the config.wtf to you .wine wow install [02:49] kitty_: Are you sure hd0,0 is the right drive to boot to? (thats sda1) [02:49] yes [02:49] jbg7474: cool. thanks. [02:50] douglas: because you dont need the whole kde environment for them to work; just the libraries === mimnop is now known as wobblywu [02:50] GodfatherofEire-> you can check.. cat /proc/modules|grep rt === Raynes_ is now known as Raynes [02:50] i am having huge lag spikes (2-3 minutes) under Atheros AR242x, anyone experienced in this field? [02:50] GodfatherofEire-> am assuming the driver starts with rt [02:50] Arezura, you mean download the WOW trial from the website and install it? [02:50] I'm looking for the Trash Icon.. I loaded AWN and I am letting up the launcher.. [02:50] binMonkey: no problem--by the way, when given the option after the upgrade, I did not elect to install the restricted driver. Good luck! [02:50] douglas: i guess ubuntu installs the required libraries for you from the mirror when you install them [02:50] is there anything i can do to get this god damn broadcom 4328 dell draft-n wireless card to work? I dont want to reformat to Vista. [02:51] douglas, ubuntu is gnome, kubuntu is KDE [02:51] littlelambda, Hmm nice :) I'm upgrading my ubuntu to 8.10 right now... Are you alreeady using the new version? [02:51] flannel: yes [02:51] nouMenon, no crossover is a non free project based off wine, but they have a trial you can try [02:51] tutah: that's fine. Minimum requirements is 64mb [02:51] jbg7474: good to know. that probably means you're using ndiswrapper, right? [02:52] hello, i have a question, how do i change display resolutions in 8.10? it seems the X11 doesnt care about xorg.conf and the "graphical" program only gives me 800x600 (i can get way more). Xrand doesnt seem to work either. I was used to get 1024x768 with VESA driver, now i can't get more than 800x600. [02:52] douglas: im using the ubuntu 8.10 live cd atm, my first experiance with ubuntu. Im having problems getting it on my hard drive unfortuantly [02:52] n8tuser http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/66001/ [02:52] nouMenon, originally that is what i did [02:52] Fr0zen__-> bcm43xx? the infamous one.. :P [02:52] then i copied the wow folder to my .wine [02:52] yes [02:52] 4328 [02:52] i installed ubuntu earlier today [02:53] got it all pimped out for my flight tommorow [02:53] but wifi doesn't work :( [02:53] KOSHrf: what did you do to it before it stopped working? [02:53] binMonkey: I know I was in 8.04--not sure whether it retained that setup or whether the newer kernel "just works". If you can refresh my memory about how to check, I'll investigate further. I've forgotten how I set it up for 8.04 [02:53] littlelambda, Hmm... I used mandriva linux before installed ubuntu, I know mandriva is KDE... (correct me if I'm wrong) I just wanted wanted to know the difference between these environments... [02:53] And here I am again... *sigh* ^^ But this someone probably knows how to help me. I got Ubuntu installed, most things seem to work, only problem I can see at the moment is my sound card. I have a Intel HDA card, normal sound works well but the headphones don't do anything and don't mute the speakers when plugged in. Can someone help me? [02:53] littlelambda, i didnt say it wasnt working [02:53] pw-_, Ok.. thanks :) [02:53] nouMenon, it will also download all the need fonts for wow [02:53] hello [02:53] litlebuda, im getting 800x600 resolution, wich is not the right resolution for my laptop. [02:53] GodfatherofEire-> tell me which rtXXXX is in /lib/modules/`uname -r`/ubuntu/wireless [02:53] jbg7474: i don't know how to check; it's something about greping some file. [02:54] is it safe to download ubntu without a revovery dvd? [02:54] MnemonicPunk, double click your speaker icon, you will see a speaker output and a headphone jack output [02:54] littlelambda, before installing* [02:54] jbg7474: wish me luck. i going to do it now. [02:54] Is there any program for tagging vidoes/movies in any format ? [02:54] binMonkey: good luck--may the linux force be with you [02:54] MnemonicPunk, they are seperate in the default drivers, so you'll have to mute the speakers and turn up the headphone jack if you want it that way [02:54] PATX : i guess yes. there must me no harm [02:54] KOSHrf: you said you got 1024x768 before. what prompted the change? [02:55] kitty_: Muting the "Front" one leaves me with no sound at all. [02:55] jbg7474: lol. later. [02:55] Arezura, is the trial temporary? [02:55] try just turning it all the way down [02:55] on 'master' [02:55] helllo [02:55] littlelambda, by before i mean "with other distros" and in windows. [02:55] elvisds:so when i download ubuntu it will not wipe out windows? [02:55] douglas: you can still run all your KDE apps in gnome. they just arnt as well 'intergrated' so to speak [02:55] nouMenon, it is like 14 days or something like that, but you only need it for an hours or so :) [02:55] littlelambda, How nice I thought you were an old ubuntu user lol... What distro did use before? [02:55] kitty_: No sound at all. =( [02:55] litlebuda, also by before i meant 8.04. I just installed a fresh 8.10 here. [02:56] Well, I see a problem here n8tuser [02:56] PATX: downloading it won't do anything. Once you install, you can dualboot, yes. Which won't mess up windows. [02:56] but turning up the headphone jack works for headphones? [02:56] !dualboot | PATX [02:56] PATX: Dual boot instructions: x86/AMD64: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsDualBootHowTo - MACs: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBookPro https://help.ubuntu.com/community/YabootConfigurationForMacintoshPowerPCsDualBoot [02:56] douglas: Mac OS X. Gentoo before that. [02:56] all of you do you use ubuntu ? [02:56] are there any linux drivers for Broadcom BCM4301 wifi chip, all google resutls show stuff back in 02, thanks [02:56] GodfatherofEire-> tell.. [02:56] its basically wine with an easy installer and preconfigured wow setup [02:56] i need some help upgrading to intrepid the option to u[pgrade isnt there in my update manager [02:56] PATX: no. download the live cd from ubuntu.com. Make spearate space for ubuntu in Windows. [02:56] Flannel:ok thanks man [02:56] yowshi: What version of Ubuntu are you using? === Raynes_ is now known as Raynes [02:56] elvis:thnaks [02:56] Flannel: hardy desktop [02:56] Or not, wrong kernel version [02:56] PATX : lookup google for more info [02:57] Flannel: 8.04 [02:57] Arezura, thanks for your help. I have to restart real quick. I may be back. [02:57] PATX: you're welcome [02:57] littlelambda, do you intend to leave Mac OS X? Do you work with it? [02:57] ok [02:57] ok [02:57] hu hu [02:57] yowshi-> are you sure you want to upgrade not a fresh install? hang around for a few and observed the issues of upgrade from others [02:57] yowshi: Are you completely up to date? Go to software sources (system, admin, software sources) Do you have hardy-updates enabled? Also, do you have it set to upgrade to a new version only for LTS or for all versions? [02:57] Arezura, t hanks again. [02:57] hello, i have a question, how do i change display resolutions in 8.10? it seems the X11 doesnt care about xorg.conf and the "graphical" program only gives me 800x600 (i can get way more). Xrand doesnt seem to work either. I was used to get 1024x768 with VESA driver, now i can't get more than 800x600 (in 8.10). [02:57] n8tuser: well yeah i dont wanna fresh install simply because i dxont want to lose my entire desktop [02:57] kitty_: Now I'm getting strange crackling noises. Through the speakers. [02:57] n8tuser: Rtl8187-usb, I thought there was a problem, but I was looking under 2.6.27-7 [02:57] so i've spent 2 hours here and i'm not getting any closer to solving my issue... so i'll go back to a place where i don't have internet soon [02:57] * kitty_ waves [02:58] kitty_: Good luck. =) [02:58] again the issue, I followed MnemonicPunk 's advice (thanks to MnemonicPunk) but I found it seems hard for me to find a engine whose name is ''. So I went back to ask you guys..haha..anybody knows how to deal with it? [02:58] hey, i have two drives in my computer. windows is one (hd0,0) and ubuntu on (hd1,0). I am having trouble booting into windows with grub. This is my config http://paste.ubuntu.com/66002/. i get error 13 [02:58] douglas: I used mac os x for a while. I must now change over to another OS and linux was my choice before I got my first mac [02:58] GodfatherofEire-> this is a usb wifi?

[03:21] n8tuser: ummmm...I have no idea [03:21] n8tuser: when you use the grub install --recheck thing do you have to count your partitions the way grub would or the way ubuntu would? [03:21] Sorry, new ubuntu user here [03:22] n8tuser, was that what you were looking for? [03:22] mrwislr: RIght now it's whatever Ubuntu installed by default. I went to Hardware Drivers, and the Proprietary ATI driver came up, but it froze partway through the download. [03:22] ivx: I think you can do it with shoreline firewall [03:22] when i do a search in synaptic it only shows installed programs..... i checked the filters but everything is checked for search [03:22] Hilton: then do it again [03:22] RickZilla-> oh wait you said you already installed, log off or maybe reboot [03:22] Hey why can't I see the first messages since I arrived here on my X-Chat? Your new messages are being sent, the first one are disappearing... [03:22] server irc.dal.net [03:22] GodfatherofEire-> your wifi card is RT8189 ? [03:22] Hi there [03:23] billygalbreath: hmmmm. Does startx from the terminal? [03:23] work* [03:23] Yoshi-> grub [03:23] rivalarrival, is that hardware or software, is it in repos [03:23] when i do a search in synaptic it only shows installed programs..... i checked the filters but everything is checked for search [03:23] It's actually an RT8185 [03:23] how can i reinstall my ubuntu without losing my applications and config? btw, my ubuntu wont boot up so im using a livecd 8.10 [03:23] no ideas? [03:23] mrwislr: Alright .. But if my video is freezing, why would the mouse still work? [03:23] n8tuser: then the first partition would be sda0 blargle no wonder it buggered [03:23] Looked up the laptop specs, thats whats in this thing [03:23] Uplink: have you tried the "Repair" options? [03:23] can anyone tell me why when i reboot box my nic mac address changed to default [03:23] (ziroday): where is the "repair" ? [03:23] littlelambda, startx from terminal works fine [03:24] pleeeeease, how do I get rid of the stupid keyring dialog!!!?? [03:24] Hilton: no reason to wonder if you know how to fix it [03:24] n8tuser: Looked up the laptop specs, thats whats in this thing [03:24] hi does anyone know if there is a way to log kernel panics to a file? [03:24] The 8185 that is [03:24] billygalbreath: what is your bash_profile? [03:24] Uplink: if you have a hardy cd then it has a repair option, intrepid should have it to but not so sure about that [03:24] Yoshi-> counting the partition is described on that resource i gave you a link [03:24] does cron start automatically when ubuntu is restarted? or do i have to add something to a start up file? [03:24] only line not commented has startx [03:24] when i do a search in synaptic it only shows installed programs..... i checked the filters but everything is checked for search [03:25] ivx: package "shorewall" - I seem to remember QOS settings that would allow you to limit the rate. I've only ever set it up using webmin. [03:25] (ziroday): nope dont have hardy... have 7.04 and since then been upgrading until 8.04 and now that i was about to upgrade but ran bad [03:25] i seem to recall a terminal command (might be a package i had to install first) that would report the wan ip address. does this sound familiar to anyone [03:25] have you tried moving it to .bashrc [03:25] Uplink: I guess you could also copy your /home/ folder (including all the hidden files) and then copy it in the new intrepid install [03:25] GodfatherofEire-> but from the list of drivers you pasted, rt8185 seems not available, so look for what the correct wifi driver is used for that [03:25] billygalbreath: that last post was for you, sorry [03:26] musashi: you mean your current ip address? [03:26] (ziroday): only /home? [03:26] does cron start automatically when ubuntu is restarted? or do i have to add something to a start up file? [03:26] n8tuser: Editing GRUB's device.map not in this section it doesnt and i DONT feel like reading an entire article on grub to fix a very very specific problem which up until now has never occured and will probably never occur ever again [03:26] ziroday, current external wan ip, corrent [03:26] I already know, RT8180 generic patched to Ubuntu via Ndiswrapper n8tuser [03:26] mrwislr: Keeps freezing before it can get past 0% (although this time it sat without freezing at 0% for several minutes) ... is there some sort of safe mode I can boot into, or can you tell me how to do it from command-line? [03:26] s/corrent /correct [03:26] Worked fine till the new update manager [03:26] Uplink: you need your /home/ folder and that should backup most of your settings. However this may cause issues in intrepid [03:27] Uplink: did the commands I gave you fail? [03:27] musashi: you can see it with ifconfig [03:27] LF|Irssi: cron starts on boot, always. [03:27] (temppy): i cant get a terminal :( [03:27] ziroday, that only shows my lap ip. not the wan [03:27] thanks gnutron [03:27] (ziroday): thanx... :( [03:27] Trying to burn a live cd on 8.04 but have figured out that my cd drive won't burn anything! It's a linux error I'm sure because I was able to burn cd's in windows (when it was installed) [03:27] Uplink: well, you can use a livecd too [03:27] GodfatherofEire-> if you keep blaming the upgrade, perhaps you can re-install the old one and you will be happier? [03:28] musashi: err. your lan and wan ip will be the same? Do you mean your ip outside your network, the one the internet see's? [03:28] n8tuser: i happen to be rather susceptible to i formation overload and finding the bloody information i need in amongst the other stuff i would have to read to find it would cause my brain to fuzz out [03:28] rdvon: What exactly is the problem? [03:28] (temppy): how [03:28] when i do a search in synaptic it only shows installed programs..... i checked the filters but everything is checked for search [03:28] littlelambda: I'll run brasero through command line and tell you what's up, hold on. [03:28] n8tuser: at which point when i come across the solution i wouldnt be able to remember it later anyway [03:28] Blaming it, no, but on thinkpad, it shows up as being a bug, whether or not it was from the beta stages of 8.10, I dont know [03:28] Uplink: well, you boot up with the livecd, and then mount your drive, then chroot, and proceed [03:28] *launchpad [03:28] ziroday, yes, i want to see my external wan ip from a terminal. there is a command that does this. i used it before but forgot [03:28] Yoshi-> thats why i said earlier, i have a cheatsheet :P [03:28] (temppy): oh can u be more specific please? [03:29] mrwislr: in synaptic, enable all repositories and re-load maybe. [03:29] n8tuser: but this wouldnt go ona cheat sheet. in 2 years of using ubuntu i have never had this problem. like ever [03:29] ok, I need some ATI Radeon HD3100 driver advice. [03:29] (temppy): my username is uplink [03:29] !Radeon [03:29] For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [03:29] GodfatherofEire-> if you believed it is indeed a bug, then all we are doing now is spinning our wheels for nothing [03:29] littlelambda: seems brasero doesn't output any info when running through temrinal. [03:29] musashi: you mean the ip address turned up by this site http://whatismyipaddress.com/ [03:29] n8tuser: this is one of those fluke [problems whose cause i have no buggering clue but probably inclused something to do with planetary alignment :) [03:29] nouMenon, you horde :) ? [03:30] guys, anyone knows how can i remove a lot of uninstalled and unavailable packages of my apt-get database? [03:30] anyone out there using Ibex and ATI graphics card? [03:30] ziroday, yep, that one. but i want to find it from a term not a gui [03:30] Uplink: Im sure you may not follow that, but the first step would be to get a livecd. Buuuuut, you may want to go a different direction: create a separate /home partition, rsync your settings, then do a clean install of whatever ubuntu you are going for [03:30] apt-get remove ? [03:30] Yoshi-> proly yeah, hehe [03:30] should I install the ATI 8.10 drivers on there page? [03:30] rdvon: Wonderful. Anything from any of the X apps? [03:30] Ι'm not sayin it is or isnt n8tuser, I'm saying that it is possible, but it Was working so I'm operating on the presumption that it wasnt [03:30] their page? [03:30] hi [03:30] Arezura, ha ha, I actually haven't played in a really long time. I am just picking it up again a littl ebit to play with my buddy once in a while . I think we're going to be blood elves, so yes, Horde. You? : ) [03:30] !ati [03:30] For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [03:30] Azhi_Dahaka: apt-cache clean ; i think [03:30] from the DATABASE, not the FILESYSTEM [03:30] (temppy): wouldnt that create conflicts with intrepid? [03:30] sudo apt-get autoremove, Azhi_Dahaka [03:30] musashi, is there such a command? [03:31] never know there was [03:31] nouMenon, im horde :P [03:31] .. [03:31] I'd do wget http://www.whatismyip.com [03:31] GodfatherofEire-> sudo lsmod 8180 and lets see if that driver is loaded [03:31] Uplink: conflicts? [03:31] nouMenon, you get it working or try codeweavers? [03:31] any ati advisers in the house? [03:31] musashi: ah not so sure then, sorry [03:31] i don't want to remove packages from the filesystem, they already are gone [03:31] mimor, yes, there is. i've used it. however, i think it involved installing something first so not a pure bash command [03:31] (temppy): idk? would it? [03:31] i want to remove a lot of references on the DATABASE [03:31] i guess you ment a script [03:31] ziroday, okay, thanks for trying [03:32] that's not that hard at all [03:32] google [03:32] http://www.ubuntugeek.com/howto-check-you-external-ip-address-from-the-command-line.html [03:32] clean is an invalid operation for apt-cache [03:32] hey guys, i have a wacom tablet and it works alright but it doesnt work at all if i dont plug it in prior to ubuntu getting to the login screen, what command would i have to do to make it work properly, as in pressure sensors for GIMP? [03:32] n8tuser conor@ubuntu:~$ sudo lsmod 8180 // sudo: unable to resolve host ubuntu // Usage: lsmod [03:33] mimor, yeah, wget can do it. i'm just trying to recall the tool/command i used a year or so ago. i thought maybe it would ring a bell with someone [03:33] n8tuser: grrr tab completion isnt working when i load gtrub from a terminal [03:33] Azhi_Dahaka: apt-get clean [03:33] n8tuser I take it that that means that it's not loaded? [03:33] GodfatherofEire-> sudo lsmod |grep 8180 and lets see if that driver is loaded my typo, forgot to add grep [03:33] My usplash doesn't show after I upgraded to intrepid [03:33] that doesn't work [03:33] Azhi_Dahaka: updatedb [03:33] no prob [03:33] keeps refering to uninstalled packages on removed repos [03:33] nouMenon, if that doesnt work im installing osx and wow.. osx doesnt support d3d and it has an ati card so the config.wtf may be helpful. i'll pastebin it once its done [03:33] What's the key to switch to command line from the GUI? Isn't it alt-2? [03:33] (temppy): idk? would it? [03:33] does intrepid ibex ship with the transmission bittorrent client by default [03:33] ? [03:34] Uplink: I dunno, either way, if you don't have a bootable system, then you kinda have to get a bootable cd. Its up to you [03:34] Yoshi-> dont know, if tab completion works within grub> prompt [03:34] what does mlocate has to do with apt? [03:34] (temppy): space is an issue right now... [03:34] Hilton-> launch xterm or ctrl+alt+F1 to F6 [03:34] n8tuser: it is supposed to [03:34] how to install GDM theme? please help I'm new [03:34] n8tuser: your guide says it will [03:34] intrepid has gotten away from an xorg.conf file? [03:34] or no? [03:34] This..might be a stupid question, but is there a way to rename my whole user account? [03:34] Anyone know how I can get a working ubuntu install on to an empty hdd from the live cd if the install is complaining about an io error. I have internet access to download packages from the live session. [03:35] I can't seem to enable Compiz without fusion-icon in Intrepid, and even with that, it only works the second time. This is constant with no change. What can I do to fix it? [03:35] Yoshi-> okay [03:35] n8tuser: Thanks. I'm trying to change my video driver but the GUI freezes up before it can download. I need something outside the GUI. [03:35] n8tuser: unable to resolve host [03:35] Uplink: then maybe order a cd through shipit. That will take like 2 months... [03:35] anyone wanna invite to iptorrents i got 2 left and im quiting the site [03:35] Hilton-> crtl+alt+f1 to f6 [03:35] Does anyone know how to get a Palm to sync in 8.10? Worked in 8.04, now it doesn't work at all in Intrepid. [03:35] hey Flannel, since there is no /etc/inittab where would I respawn the tty's from? see link, step #3 to reference what i am trying to do -> http://xubuntu.wordpress.com/2006/07/13/automatically-log-into-xfce-without-a-login-manager/ [03:35] GodfatherofEire-> sudo lsmod |grep 8180 answers what? [03:36] Network manager has serious issues with cpu usage and memory eating. [03:36] My "add printer" aka "add printer wizard" is missing from "printing", how do I add a network printer manually? [03:36] n8tuser "sudo: unable to connect to host ubuntu" and nothin else [03:36] Just brings up another line [03:36] somehow my xchat config and server list got eaten also (copied from a backup [03:36] *unable to resolve host [03:36] GodfatherofEire: I've head that error for a while, although I havent dont anything about it, cuz it still kind workds, but annoying [03:37] (temppy): i mean HDD [03:37] hi all... i upgraded to ubuntu 8.10 . and my azureus doesnt download...! but the same file downloads via transmission , and the ports are fine too , how do i make azureus work? [03:37] GodfatherofEire-> oh you dont need sudo to lsmod, just lsmod |grep 8180 [03:37] n8tuser: according to what i see on kgrub it looks right [03:37] I have some sound issues. When I plug headphones in, I get no sound. When I plug them out, my laptop speakers work fine. Can anyone help out? [03:37] GodfatherofEire, you need to edit /etc/hosts to match the name in /etc/hostname [03:37] sudo ./cdromupgrade [03:37] tar: ./dists/stable/main/dist-upgrader/binary-all//intrepid.tar.gz: Cannot open: No such file or directory [03:37] 8.10 wasn't ready to be released [03:37] is it possible a power surge could only cause X to crash, without rebooting the computer? [03:37] musashi, all the things i encounter on google are based on wget [03:37] Thanks billygalbreath [03:38] is anyone having issues with firefox (3.0.1) crashing randomly on hardy? [03:38] i tried manually running the script to upgrade still nothing happens :( [03:38] eshaase: nopes === zero is now known as Guest20950 [03:38] billygalbreath: did you have any luck with .bashrc? [03:38] And n8tuser, its not bringin up anythin so I presume that that means its not being used? === Guest20950 is now known as Noobcircle [03:38] why would sound stop working when going from hardy to intrepid? [03:38] Yoshi-> is it resolved yet? i dont think i even know what you were after, error 17 on grub? [03:38] mimor, yeah, me too. i know i did something different but can't for the life of me find it or remember it. [03:38] littlelambda, to be honest, i didnt try it - i dont think that will do any different [03:38] eshaase: a search of the bug tracker might tell you [03:39] I don't want to nag about this, but is there a way to rename my user account? [03:39] GodfatherofEire-> if no results its not loaded === michael__ is now known as illumini [03:39] hvgotcodes, have you checked the sound prefs, to make sure that its usin ALSA or whatever your old sound setup was? [03:39] Ok [03:39] hi all, does anybody know how to find the disk used by a directory on the CLI, for example the .purple directory [03:39] hi all... i upgraded to ubuntu 8.10 . and my azureus doesnt download...! but the same file downloads via transmission , and the ports are fine too , how do i make azureus work? [03:39] GodfatherofEire-> look up on google what is the correct driver for your RT8185 wifi [03:39] n8tuser: well i was actually just wary. i want the grub to boot off /dev/sda1 which is where i put the boot partition on my install. i am worried that when i upgrade my grub will be all screwed and wont boot [03:39] I tried du -h .purple which is close but not close enough. [03:39] GodfatherofEire: i don't know what it was using before; it just worked. [03:40] musashi, the traceroute? [03:40] billygalbreath: I was thinking if your playing with the ttys didnt help, perhaps it was something to do with bash being interactive or a logon shell or something. [03:40] Uplink: I can't help with that. If you can't burn a cd, and you cant get a cd, and you cant boot, then you are stuck. right? [03:40] Try playin around with the settings a bit, try alsa first [03:40] I have some sound issues. When I plug headphones in, I get no sound. When I plug them out, my laptop speakers work fine. Can anyone help out? [03:40] GodfatherofEire: it is set to a bunch of autodetects. which device should it be? [03:40] mimor, that might work too but it wasn't that. sorry to be difficult but i hate when i remember something but not fully. it's there. I just can't recall it [03:41] (temppy): i got 8.10 already... i just burned it... [03:41] Yoshi-> okay, i dont know if i can give you high assurances that nothing will go wrong on an upgrade, i said earlier i prefer a fresh install of 8.10 vs upgrading [03:41] Aizawa: not as far as I know. You may need to create a new account, and then copy your files over. Adding the new one as the same group as your old one may ease the sting of losing some of your permissions [03:41] I can't seem to enable Compiz without fusion-icon in Intrepid, and even with that, it only works the second time. This is constant with no change. What can I do to fix it? [03:42] * jbg7474 wishes the ubuntu forums were working [03:42] mimor, actually, i think it might have been a web site that was terminal friendly - if that makes sense [03:42] Super silly question. I'm running a beta version of ibex. will "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" so all my upgrading to final? [03:42] mimor, and maybe it was wget but not the whatsmyip site [03:42] littlelambda, i'll try the method you suggested as soon as this dist-upgrade finishes [03:42] n8tuser: meh i prefer upgrading. spend 6 months setting up my desktop programmes installing everything and getting all the settings perfect only to lose most if not all them and or have to reinstall all that stuff is not apealing. not to mention i no of no way to recover the desktop right. still ont convinced i wont lose my entire desktop on a fresh install while keeping my old home directory [03:42] good evening [03:42] Uplink: oh, brilliant! boot that baby! [03:43] billygalbreath: Aye. Its a long shot, but all I can think off atm. [03:43] (temppy): that means i would have to disconnect [03:43] Uplink: does the livecd support your internet? [03:43] musashi there are quite a lot of these sites :) [03:43] hi all... i upgraded to ubuntu 8.10 . and my azureus doesnt download...! but the same file downloads via transmission , and the ports are fine too , how do i make azureus work? [03:43] (temppy): not sure... im on wi-fi [03:44] is anyone up for brainstorming tonigh? [03:44] In the terminal, how do I reference a file that is on my desktop? [03:44] So, n8tuser, I have the correct driver installed, so I dont know where the disconnect is [03:44] Anyone help with ubuntu mobile on samsung q1 ultra? When i try to boot I just get a apostrophe in the top left corner and nothing else happens.

[03:49] King, it will not auto mount until you add it to /etc/fstab - so your first step would be to connect it to the computer, run dmesg|tail to see what device it is (sda/sdb) then to mount it and ake sure it works. if it works then add the device to /etc/fstab and it will automount to your Desktop (like a CD does) when you connect it [03:49] Is there some way I can make the distribution upgrade use the files I've got in /var/cache/apt rather than downloading? [03:50] there should be a way to dump or clean that database [03:50] lbd: they need to be put in /var/cache/apt/archives/ [03:50] king also listen to billy, it's good advice :) [03:50] thanks bimberi [03:50] Uplink: mk, but do you know about partitions? and can you figure out which one is your linux partition? anyway, you would mount that partition to a location, then chroot to that [03:50] n8tuser every thing has permissions bits.

[03:53] spiritssight1 sshd scp [03:53] spiritssight1, that's the most vague question i've ever heard in my entire life [03:53] why? [03:53] GodfatherofEire-> what is the results of iwconfig ? [03:53] smb://systemname/folder spiritssight [03:53] www.ubuntu.com [03:53] spiritssight1: scp is way easy, and ubuntu has a simple way of doing it [03:53] (temppy): should i try? [03:53] also anyone know if 8.1 works with nvidia ethernetr ports ? fiesty worked with them then hardy didnt i was wondering if intrepid fixed this issue [03:53] !clone [03:53] 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 [03:54] spiritssight1: please, try Places -> Connect to Server ....

[03:54] arkey man dd [03:55] spiritssight1, my favorite method is nfs as i can mount network shares from one box to another - quick and easy as pie - best solution if you plan to transfer files a lot (i.e., not a one time deal) [03:55] spiritssight1: 2 computers; on a LAN, 192.168.0.0/24 for example [03:55] rdw200169 in konqueror you can fish://url/ and it will do an ssh tunnel to the other box so you can graphicly move files.

[03:58] What HDTV cards work with Ubuntu Studio out of the box? [03:58] Aquahallic, gftp [03:58] Aquahallic, Filezilla [03:58] I just installed Ubuntu 8.10, and I'm having issues with my synaptics touchpad (Dell Latitude D630). It is VERY slow... it takes forever to move the cursor. The small, blue, round mouse in the center of my keyboard (forgot the name of it) works fine. Here is my entry in /etc/X11/xorg.conf: http://pastebin.com/m1baa14d8 [03:58] Aquahallic: try filezilla [03:58] littlelambda yes [03:58] spiritssight1: ssh pretty much works right out of the box for filesharing [03:58] for a ftp SERVER?

[03:59] spiritssight1: helpful? [03:59] macvr: Then I would stick with transmisson if its being that unhelpfull. [03:59] anyone has a static IP setting in intrepid ? [03:59] smalleyes, apt-get --configure maybe? [03:59] littlelambda help me please [04:00] hilton: linux isnt windows, its not fancy point and click, linux is designed to work better and it takes effort to do things correctly [04:00] Why is my UBUNTU server giving me a "Permission denied" message? I am the administrator of the machine, I put most everything on there, and all of a sudden, everything I try to send returns that error message! [04:00] littlelambda: hei... i just found something... i have 2 ... azureus and vuze!!! both say version 3.1.1.0!!! [04:00] flash has stopped working after i upgraded it. it doesnt even realize its installed.. what gives? [04:00] ffej2ffej: use "sudo" before each command [04:00] being "The administrator" doesn't automatically give you free rain on everything [04:00] I was trying to keep up with reading the stuff I am gvoing to try in now [04:00] DaveCave: Linux has caused me more problems in 2 hours than XP has in 2 months. [04:00] ffej2ffej: did you mess around with visudo? [04:00] arkey: can I pm you? Not really something for ubuntu support. [04:01] hilton: then leave please, and go back to windows [04:01] Invalid command [04:01] mib_bcunm4: Please don't do that. [04:01] Alec: I did this on a D620, exact same problem. You have to use an fdi file in Intrepid. If you PM me your email address, I'll send you the file I use. [04:01] hilton: the only problem linux has right now is nvidia drivers in 8.10 :-\ [04:01] mib_bcunm4, I can hear some sounds from my laptop fine, but when I plug headphones, the sound is very low. Also, I was able to listen to mp3s before I reboot (my headphone didnt work at all then). Now I cant play mp3s [04:01] Hilton: then go back, if you aren't willing to try further, and if you don't think linux will make things better, then why are you here? [04:01] At least install a frickin basic universal VGA video driver with your OS, not something that freezes up within 2 minutes of loading every time. [04:01] BTW, I'm trying to send stuff via FTP. I'm using the ftp client on my Macbook and vsftpd on the UBUNTU server. [04:01] Hilton: VGA video driver problems? [04:01] littlelambda: i have a .azureus folder but i dont have a .vuze folder ... which should i remove? azureus/vuze? [04:01] mount: you must specify the filesystem type [04:01] alecwh: Please don't do that. [04:01] ffej2ffej, your regular username is not root - you must type sudo before a command in order to get root privledges - if you want to login as root then use su but before running that for the first time you must set a root password by running sudo passwd but the best practice is to never use su and instead use sudo [04:02] DaveCave: And ATI, since the drivers for my Radeon keep freezing up. [04:02] What can I do about monitor drivers in ubuntu? in 7.04 the drivers worked with my monitor fine, but in 7.10+ I get wacky resolutions and X sometimes crashes [04:02] Hilton: so blame ATI for writing garbage drovers [04:02] hilton: what version ubuntu? 8.04? .06? .10? [04:02] Hilton: Drivers [04:02] .10 [04:02] macvr: im not familliar with either, but I would guess vuze if its not created your config dir. [04:02] hilton: what video card exactly? output of lspci | grep -i VGA [04:02] Flannel: it's genuine advice, if he isn't willing to try further, and if he thinks windows XP will suit him better, it seems logical that he should return to "what works". [04:02] go back to 8.06 and u will be fine [04:02] rdw200169: I would expect that ATI's drivers would work. These are the default open source ones that come with the OS. [04:02] Hilton: you should read 8.10's release notes. seriously [04:03] can someone please help me with this? [04:03] hilton: 8.10 has driver issues with nvidia i know that, but im not sure about ATI [04:03] possibly in private, it's a bit busy in here :P [04:03] hilton: its being resolved as we speak [04:03] what's the BEST/Official way to install skype? [04:03] smalleyes: i'm pretty sure there's a .deb for skype [04:03] smalleyes: from here: http://www.skype.com/download/skype/linux/choose/ [04:03] noone? :( [04:03] rdw200169: yes i know, but is that the best way?

[04:04] bimberi: yes, but is that the recommended way? [04:04] I don't know which version. Is there a way to tell from a SSH shell? [04:04] i shop my new computer, somebody help me to copy my images with windows 3.11 [04:04] mount: you must specify the filesystem type [04:04] smalleyes: install from .deb; yes [04:04] Addy: its good the chan is busy...more eyes on your problem [04:04] rdw200169: not from repo? [04:04] smalleyes: it's _my_ recommended way, for all it's worth :) [04:04] smalleyes: installing from deb adds the software to the application installed cache [04:04] addy: anyhow, what do you mean by wacky? [04:04] King, paste me in PM the output of sudo fdisk -l /dev/sdb [04:04] I know [04:04] !clone [04:04] 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 [04:04] smalleyes: its a matter of personal preference really [04:05] smalleyes: depends on how much you trust the software provider [04:05] littlelambda: if I used 7.10+ the resolutions and refresh rates were strange, no matter what card or drivers I used. I assuemd it was my monitor, not the graphics cards [04:05] smalleyes: now, i take the stand that, if i like their software, i'll trust their work, so i like to use cutting edge SVN a lot for my favorites [04:05] assumed* [04:06] smalleyes: but, again, it's a matter of preference, and comparing what version 8.10 offers for example compared to the version on skypes website [04:06] littlelambda: also, if I boot up the new ubuntu CD, it loads and then the screen goes blank [04:06] addy: loads to where? [04:06] how do i add a repository (deb http://download.skype.com/linux/repos/debian/ stable non-free) ???? [04:06] Can anyone help me fix sound on Ubuntu 8.10? [04:06] littlelambda: somewhere near the end of the bar [04:06] aptget - install fixsound :P [04:07] smalleyes: add it to to your /etc/apt/sources.list [04:07] ldiamond, have you checked what your preferences are for sound? [04:07] smalleyes, sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list [04:07] GodfatherofEire1, yes [04:07] The irony, of course, is that it WAS working! All of a sudden, I had made changes to one of my scripts and I was unable to upload it! I haven't been able to upload anything since! [04:07] smalleyes: it's likely that ubuntu won't release a significant version change until 9.04, so if you want the latest and greatest you often have to go towards the source [04:07] littlelambda: billygalbreath: what's the userfriendfly way? [04:07] !automate [04:07] Ways to automate installation of Ubuntu on multiple machines are described at https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/installation-guide/i386/automatic-install.html - See also !cloning [04:07] rdw200169: latest and greatest of what? [04:07] smalleyes: this is most often the case immediately before a new release [04:07] So, everything has been set to non-auto drivers. I.e. ESD, ALSA, OSS, etc? [04:07] rdw200169: of what? [04:07] smalleyes: new features, bugfixes, etc... [04:07] smalleyes, that is the user-friendly way [04:08] smalleyes: just use whatever freindly editor you prefer, then [04:08] rdw200169: i'm lost [04:08] littlelambda: any clue on what I should try? [04:08] addy: can you access the command line? [04:08] flash has stopped working after trying to upgrade it. i removed it then installed the older version, but now none of my browsers even see it. what gives? [04:08] smalleyes: let's stand back and look at the big picture then; you've got the Main branch developers, then you've got the MOTU (masters of the universe) [04:08] in 7.04, or in a later version? [04:08] smalleyes: then you've got everybody else [04:08] smalleyes: System>Administration>Software Sources, Third Party Software tab, Add [04:08] rdw200169: i was asking about skype [04:09] addy: in the version you want to run [04:09] bimberi: that's what i just did. thanks.

[04:09] smalleyes: well you could have said :) [04:09] what's the shortcut to go to the command line? [04:09] smalleyes: but you can't make up your mind over whether or not to install from repo or the website [04:09] a lot more silent failure issues in 8.10 it seems... [04:09] bimberi: no. you're telling me just happening after my doing that. [04:09] smalleyes: right?

[04:12] loading* [04:13] smalleyes: now, what you don't know is that all the sofware in the repos for 8.10, the stuff in universe and multiverse like skype, ended up there probably 2 or 3 months ago [04:13] Addy: any other text, or just that? [04:13] is it normal for firefox3 to completely hang while loading pages? [04:13] littlelambda: "E: Could not open lock file /var/lib/apt/lists/lock - open (13 Permission denied)" (I have synaptic closed!! How come denied?) [04:13] smalleyes: so even though 8.10 is new, the software is a little behind [04:13] i upgraded to 8.10 and DNS is broken, nothing resolves ... any ideas? [04:13] I can not remember, but if I do an install via the "alternate CD" (I like to do a minimal install and build it up from there), can I choose to use a swap file instead of a swap partition? If so, does anyone know if this swap file gets the full space allocated, and if so is it put near the far end of the partion blocks (if that is the correct way of saying that)? Thanks. [04:13] I'm having problems with audio. I'm on a notebook, when I plug my headphones, the sound stops (nothing is outputted in the headphones or the speakers). How can I fix that? [04:14] Hey guys, I was wondering. What software do I need to be able to change settings in Ubuntu worldwide, and put those settings into a install and make it where those settings will be used on a new install of Ubuntu? [04:14] littlelambda: just the previous DMI BIOS year ==0, assuming ACPI-capable machine [04:14] can't create a new key in the keyring manager with a password. What's with that? [04:14] smalleyes: sorry, you need to put sudo in front of that [04:14] smalleyes: further, the motu guys i mentioned, are off working on the next version of ubuntu, and those upgrades [04:14] rdw200169: ok. [04:14] addy: thats all it says on f1? [04:15] yes [04:15] littlelambda: then i think your install is borked. [04:15] addy*: [04:15] heh [04:15] mattthebaker: Yes, sometimes FF3 will hang like that. FF runs as a monolithic process (or something like that), meaning all tabs run under same process. So if you open a tab that has lots of javascript or flash that hangs that tab, it hangs the whole browser. At least that is my understanding of what is happeneing. [04:15] so the forums down? [04:15] smalleyes: so you're left with a choice, take what's very likely going to work alright, from the ubuntu repos, or take what may or may not work better, but has a higher (much higher) chance of coming out with more versions, from the skype site [04:15] Greetings all I from Russia!!!!!!!!!!!!!! [04:15] littlelambda: I just downloaded it, and the beta I tried a week ago did the exact same [04:16] smalleyes: and, if you don't like it get rid of it, switch your software sources, and go back to the ubuntu repos [04:16] Blud: Greetings to you. [04:16] How 2 instal ubuntu mid on my o2 xda ll [04:16] apt-get gives me "2 suggested packages". Question 1) should i install them (the 2 are nas and libqt4-dev for skype) Question2) Why am I not given the option to install the 2 suggestions? [04:16] smalleyes: it's pretty easy to try one, decide you dont' like it, and go back [04:16] is it normal for xorg.conf to have simple generic information ? My Debian one is very complete [04:16] rdw200169: ok. [04:16] addy: whats your hardware? [04:16] hansin: ahh, it hangs horribly with a single page open, on all but the most simple of websites, it seems that anytime it says 'reading from ...' in the statusbar it hangs [04:16] cgc [04:16] smalleyes: the whole debian repo concept is really forgiving on that [04:16] addy: x86? [04:16] ñïñ [04:16] littlelambda: yeah, x86 pentium 3 [04:16] forgiving on my last question (re: suggested packages)? [04:17] rdw200169: see above [04:17] smalleyes: just don't go doing a dist upgrade and think you can turn back the clock on that ;) [04:17] I'm having problems with audio. I'm on a notebook, when I plug my headphones, the sound stops (nothing is outputted in the headphones or the speakers). How can I fix that? [04:17] g0bl1n, i also found that very weird, so i filled it in to my likings since it was too generic for me to feel comfortable enough to sleep at night === ptx0 is now known as ptx0-aWay [04:17] Who has installed 10.0 through BootCamp? [04:17] suggested packages? [04:17] * ptx0-aWay is Away, Reason: ( sleep ) | Since: ( Wednesday, October 29, 2008. 01:36:44 ) Xlack v2.1 [04:17] addy: hmm [04:17] rdw200169: never mind. [04:17] rdw200169: i understand [04:17] is 8.10 worth upgrading to? [04:17] Spaz926: ubuntu 10.0? [04:17] mattthebaker: hmm. I guess I haven't seen it affected too bad like that. I will so I have better luck with FF on "the other OS", but it seems to be improving on Linux. [04:17] How 2 instal ubuntu mid on my o2 xda ll [04:17] I will say... [04:17] addy: reboot the sucker. watch for any weird messages [04:18] alright [04:18] billygalbreath, but was it working before? [04:18] addy: theres not much you can do if you can get to login on a tty [04:18] cant* [04:18] can't confirm password in keyring manager when creating a new key. [04:18] so... nobody has a clue? [04:18] g0bl1n, yup - worked fine. i just didnt feel right being so generic. [04:18] hansin: hmm.. its never been a problem before, i believe i had 3.0 on 8.04, and i don't see the same effect on my laptop. i'm going to blame it on flash and mess around with it some more [04:18] as the ubuntu versions get higher and higher, does the need for a more powerful computer go higher, too? [04:18] littlelambda: I'm going to try safe graphics mode [04:18] smalleyes, no [04:19] is it possible to use itunes database on windows partition? [04:19] g0bl1n: not at all? [04:19] also, I shall call is "that other OS". "The other" makes it sound like there are only two :O [04:19] Does anyone know how to sync a Palm device in 8.10 with evolution? This worked perfectly in 8.04, nothing happens in 8.10 [04:19] why oh why is it that these things can never be freaking simple [04:19] sorry 8.10 [04:19] trying to make a live pen got everything setup and i dont have a disctree on the ubuntu live cd [04:19] smalleyes: 8.10 [04:19] mattthebaker: Good luck, tinkering can't hurt (well, not too much). [04:20] not only that but the partitions i made cant have the shit copied to them [04:20] smalleyes, of course if you want all the super-uber fancy effects, yes, but normal functions dont require that [04:20] I've done a brand new fresh install of ubuntu 8.10 and skype says "problem with audio playback" please help!!! 8-( [04:20] Yoshi: what are you trying to do? [04:20] Yoshi, everything is simple. it's just getting past the obvious bfore we realize how simple our problems are to solve ;) [04:20] smalleyes: try padsp [04:20] rdw200169: try padsp for skype audio problem? [04:20] there seems to be issues with networking on 8.10 and NetworkManager has issues [04:20] rdw200169: create a live pen. so i can boot intrepid off my pen drive [04:21] smalleyes: yes, with pulseaudio, works fantastic, i mean FANTASTIC for me [04:21] rdw200169: did that fix your skype problem too? [04:21] how do i turn off screen saver? i tried screensaver and powermanagement settings nothing helps [04:21] anyone help my itunes problem? [04:21] billygalbreath: no there is no obvious here i follow the instructions and command of this guide https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent. and i cant make it work [04:21] I can't start skype at all after I upgraded to xubuntu 8.10. is there anybody here with the same problem or someone who knows what to do to make it work? [04:21] I'm formatting /dev/sdb with ext3 to make it part of a RAID.. do I make it primary or extended? Either way I get sdb1 for the container and sdb5 for the actual data storage and I can't set flags to raid before I format it in that way. [04:21] mtholdenss: maybe another channel can [04:21] smalleyes: i don't use skype, but generally, padsp will pipe any audio to /dev/dsp [04:21] mtholdenss: this is for problems with ubuntu, and its pretty darn busy [04:22] smalleyes: so, if /dev/dsp works, padsp will work [04:22] littlelambda, what channel on freenode would you suggest, is there a sub-channel specifically for audio? [04:22] Yoshi: take a shot at unetbootin [04:22] rdw200169: how can I figure out if /dev/dsp works? [04:22] Yoshi: it works pretty sweet [04:22] mtholdenss: can't your client retrive a channel list? [04:22] rdw200169: what is usebootin [04:22] addy: any joy? [04:23] rdw200169: Does this mean the Linux version of Skype uses OSS for sound? Do you know? Just curious if that is the case. Thanks. [04:23] littlelambda: same results. Blank screen, and ctrl-alt-F1 brings up the exact same text [04:23] Yoshi: http://unetbootin.wiki.sourceforge.net/guide [04:23] im using xchat, whats the command to retrieve channels? [04:23] Is it safe to remove /var/cache/apt/archives? [04:23] hansin: like i said, i don't know b/c i don't use it, but it's a quick test [04:23] how do i turn off screen saver? i tried screensaver and powermanagement settings nothing helps [04:23] rdw200169: yay more guides *insert sarcas,m* [04:23] And the text is some messages about acpi, and then Loading, Please wait...... [04:23] Yoshi: that's linux ;) [04:23] yeah [04:23] Anyone know? [04:24] rdw200169: Okay thanks. Actually padsp looks like it could be useful for me to run "tvtime". [04:24] MindVirus: the .deb files in it, yes [04:24] Yoshi: waay too much information ... (darn) [04:24] bimberi, are you sure? [04:24] I'm having problems with audio. I'm on a notebook, when I plug my headphones, the sound stops (nothing is outputted in the headphones or the speakers). How can I fix that? [04:24] addy: then i guess if you are getting the same with all ubuntu > 7.4, its a hardware issue [04:24] howdy all, I just upgraded and my monitor is not recognized correctly. How do i pull up the screen selector (gksu displayconfig-gtk seems to ask for password, and then nothing) [04:24] ldiamond: Turn off the mute switch on the headphones. [04:24] ;) [04:24] rdw200169: how about someone stand up an teach one on one. instead of a dry guide i will never remember because it has ot bloody context [04:24] MindVirus: the command 'sudo apt-get clean' will do it [04:24] rdw200169: how can I figure out if /dev/dsp works? [04:24] Hilton, theres no mute switch. [04:24] Ahh, I see. [04:25] rdw200169: another question: if padsp doesn't work for me, may it make my computer worse possibly? if it does, can we undo the installation of padsp? [04:25] littlelambda: 7.10 does boot up, just with the wacky resolution [04:25] im off for the night pce out everyone [04:25] ldiamond: try double clicking on the speaker icon in your taskbar, going to preferences, and checking all the boxes [04:25] littlelambda: I'll try booting 7.10 [04:25] hey all, I need a some file recovery software, anybody suggest one? [04:25] Addy, but version 8.0 dont work at all... [04:25] ldiamond: then checking the headphone volume level [04:25] littlelambda: I'm pretty sure 8.04 did [04:25] has anyone else had probs with vmware or virtualbox since upgrading to 8.10? [04:25] with the wacky screen [04:26] !ext3 | gaintsura [04:26] gaintsura: ext3 is the default filesystem on Ubuntu, and the most popular on Linux. You can read/write from Windows to ext3 via http://www.fs-driver.org [04:26] er, [04:26] rdw200169: like for instance how do i run this apparent executablke which has no run option when i right click it [04:26] !undelete | gaintsura [04:26] gaintsura: Some tools to recover lost data are listed and explained at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DataRecovery - Recovering deleted files on !ext3 filesystems can be virtually impossible, although a method that might work in some cases is described at http://www.xs4all.nl/~carlo17/howto/undelete_ext3.html [04:26] smalleyes: please, don't worry so much about software hurting your computer! [04:26] smalleyes: this isn't windows! [04:26] I'm formatting /dev/sdb with ext3 to make it part of a RAID.. do I make it primary or extended? Either way I get sdb1 for the container and sdb5 for the actual data storage and I can't set flags to raid before I format it in that way. Does it matter which one it is? [04:26] thanks Flannel [04:26] Is there a way to tell smb that you want from a folder and all its sub folders to be readable / writerable when it is connected shared [04:26] Yoshi: reluctantly, that likely requires the command line [04:27] rdw200169: pls answer: how can I confirm whether /dev/dsp will work?? [04:27] hello, 2 things. I can't install the nvidia driver because the dialog says I have "held back broken packages" or something like that, and also I can't get my Intel HDA audio line-in working. [04:27] rdw200169: try switching an application that supports OSS to OSS [04:27] rdw200169, theres no headphone volume, I managed to make something output to my headphones (through surround), however thats only two channels of the surround that happens to be passing through this jack. [04:27] ldiamond: you might right click on the volume applet and select 'open volume control' make sure the headphone volumne is not muted. on my laptop the builtin speakers and headphone jack have separate controls [04:27] rdw200169: ok i can dig that. but how do i run this from the command line? i dont do a whole l,ot of running executables from command lines. sometimes i run commands but not often exzecutabes [04:27] node357, sudo apt-get dist-upgrade [04:28] smalleyes: try 'echo "asdfsadfsadfasdfsadfasdfasdfasdfsadfasdfasdfasd" > /dev/dsp' (the stuff between the quotes is just random letter). You should hear a click in your speakers, but try and put lots of stuff between the quotes. [04:28] billygalbreath: thanks [04:28] addy: right, you want to write off your 8.10 issue for a moment, since it seems way above my head and work on fixing that wacky screen? [04:28] ldiamond: i know this is gonna be hard, but pulseaudio supports mixing surround to stereo (i think) [04:28] rdw200169: i dont really recall ever running one from a command line in the last 8 to 10 months possibly longer [04:28] ldiamond: if software settings don't fix the headphone problem then maybe its the headphone jack or the headphones. the headphone jack on the laptop when headphone plugged in, physically disconnects the speakers. [04:28] billygalbreath: that didn't do anything [04:28] littlelambda: I think it's the same issue with both versino though [04:28] hansin: hmm... i found a launchpad bug describing it, it has yet to be resolved, but once again leads me to believe it is flash related [04:28] versions* [04:28] Yoshi: what kind of file is it? [04:28] node357, it didnt fix the broken packages? [04:28] has anyone else had probs with vmware or virtualbox since upgrading to 8.10? [04:28] littlelambda: I [04:28] billybigrigger: no [04:28] Calculating upgrade... Done [04:28] 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded. [04:28] littlelambda: I'm trying to get 8.10 for the wireless support [04:29] rdw200169: shouldnt you know? havent you used this? it gave me a file called unetbootin-linux-293 [04:29] mattthebaker: okay; good sleuth work ;) [04:29] threeseas, rdw200169 scandal : I think its because the fact that I plug a audio jack isnt detected and it doesnt output to this jack instead. [04:29] rdw200169: it as what i remember to be the icon of a bin executable for linux [04:29] Addy: well, what you told me before makes it sound like its a hardware problem somewhere right down the booting process [04:29] stupid tab :( [04:29] there's a .deb file on their website [04:29] Addy: seems like you get nowhere near starting up an x session [04:29] Yoshi, there's a .deb file on their site [04:29] littlelambda [04:29] really? [04:29] hansin: rdw200169: yes i hear a click. so i guess /dev/dsp works! === Fingertips1776 is now known as Fingertips17776 [04:29] rdw200169: so i guess i should try padsp === Fingertips17776 is now known as Fingertips1776 [04:30] rdw200169: thats not what thier download file gave me [04:30] rdw200169: err link [04:30] in alsamixer all I have is "master" [04:30] rdw200169: How can I tell smb to share all subfolders from the root [04:30] I NEED line-in [04:30] anyone ever have a problem with the keyring manager not letting you make keys? [04:30] addy: yes. you should get your uname and a warranty warning of f1, before ubuntu trys to start x [04:31] hello, 2 things. I can't install the nvidia driver because the dialog says I have "held back broken packages" or something like that, and also I can't get my Intel HDA audio line-in working. [04:31] spiritssight1: i'll be honest with you, i hate samba, and avoid it at all costs, so i can't tell you cause i don't know [04:31] addy: sounds like your boot process is borked doing what ever it does at "loading, please wait..." === Fingertips1776 is now known as Anon [04:31] yeah [04:31] spiritssight1: i never use windows, so it's pretty easy for me to avoid it === Anon is now known as Baide [04:32] Yoshi: go here: http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/ and 'Download 32-bit (i386) Ubuntu/Debian .deb Package' [04:32] hey all [04:32] node357, paste me the exact error about the broken packages [04:32] ldiamond: the female audio jack not only makes a stereo connection to the headphones but also disconnects the the signal to the speakers. its a purely physical issue. if your jack is bad, or the headphones have a problem.... [04:32] I not using windows either, I am using two ubuntu system, so what is my next and easy way to access the ubuntu system so I can move stuff, what if any thing do I need to install on the systems [04:33] littlelambda: 7.10 is booting up with it's 1124x768 @ 55Hz XD [04:33] question: i have a bunch of speakers in the den, and i want to set up a web client to stream music from my computer to those speakers [04:33] any recommendations? [04:33] okay billygalbreath [04:33] has anyone else had probs with vmware or virtualbox since upgrading to 8.10? === johnny_ is now known as Guest7132 [04:33] i'm using firefox. i went to a page with flash.which plugin should i download. A) adobe flash. (b) swfdec player . (C) gnash swf? [04:33] spiritssight1: like i said before, if you have access to both systems' passwords, openssh is the way to go [04:33] addy: Im at a loss as to what to recommend, other than an reinstall. by chance you may have been unlucky twice, but i doubt it. [04:33] i have 8.10 installed on a random jank box in the den [04:33] Need help installing Hardy Heron from Feisty with burned iso [04:33] addy: can you adjust the resolution? [04:33] spiritssight1: it's literally as easy as 'apt-get install openssh-server' [04:33] rdw200169: no i download the amd64 version cause thats what i got. i aint a completly daft newbie [04:34] ldiamond: you can take just a male plug and plug it into your audio out on teh laptop and it will shut off the speakers [04:34] smalleyes: what the above command does is directs (via >) random stuff to your /dev/dsp device. I think what you just did should be enough??? But I just looked on the Skype site, and it appears it uses OSS for sound (old Linux sound system) instead of ALSA (newer Linux sound system). They talk about setting up ALSA to emulate OSS, but I have had issues with that (well, I tried it once). psdsp seems to do the same thing, but uses Puls [04:34] littlelambda: probably won't do anything, I tried installing like 6 times [04:34] ok, I'm done worrying about my filesystem, and I've been procrastinating it for some time.... what is a good backup / restore system that I can use like a livecd [04:34] littlelambda: yes I can [04:34] rdw200169: can you pm me I can not follow there is to much traffic for my eyes to follow what you are saying [04:34] Yoshi: so you got a .deb file? [04:34] addy: is the change sticking? === nicholas_ is now known as Tetracomm [04:34] hansin: yes, i heard some sounds with the command. so how did you get skype working on 8.10? rdw200169 suggests padsp. [04:34] rdw200169: and installed i am just reformatting my pendrive because i dont have a 1 gig space of the right kind as the bootin page says i will need [04:35] whats the best way to copy my ubuntu partition over to another slightly bigger partition? I have a feeling its tar but am wondering if it can be done with cp or dd. [04:35] littlelambda: the only other resolutions are 1200x800, 800x600 and 600x480 [04:35] jz: someone told me about mcp I think it was [04:35] I think I have a work around for the networkmanager problem -- kill the process and then in a shell start it back up "NetworkManager" [04:35] addy: what are you wanting to use? [04:35] Trying to connect with dial up. Need a modem driver. the output of lspci is: [04:35] littlelambda: 1024x768, everything else is too small [04:36] do they still make dialup connections? [04:36] jz: yes, its mcp and mmv in package 'mmv' [04:36] addy: right. sounds like you need to edit your xorg.conf [04:36] Trying to set up dial up. Need a modem driver. The output of lspci is: [04:36] smalleyes: audio seems to be a recurring problem with skype: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Skype [04:36] checkinstall of guvcview fails with "/bin/mkdir: cannot create directory `/usr/local/share/doc': No such file or directory" any ideas?

I'll open it up [04:37] /etc/X11/xorg.conf [04:37] rdw200169: aaaaand i dont see vfat or fat32 in the options only fat 12 16 and hidden windows partition types [04:37] ok thanks gaintsura I'll check it out [04:37] is anyone knowledgable about lvm? [04:37] rdw200169: that's too bad. skype worked fine for me on 8.04. but not on a clean install of ubuntu 8.10. what shall i do? install padsp??? is that the solution? [04:37] Trying to set up dial up. Need a modem driver. The output of lspci is: 00:0d.1 Computer telephony device: Broadcom Corporation BCM4212 v.90 56k modem [04:38] !backup [04:38] There are many ways to back your system up.

[04:38] smalleyes: I might be wrong on Skype using OSS. Looks like that came from a 5 year old post on the Skype site. They may have switched to ALSA since then. There is a posting thread on the Skype site that might be of help, though if it worked for you in 8.04 but not now in 8.10, then who knows...

[04:39] i have a problem after upgrading to 8.10 [04:39] rdw200169: ok. how can i force skype to work. 8-( [04:40] So with NetworkManager started at boot, it eats cpu and memory and seems to make active both wired and wireless even if there is no setting for wireless. But kill the process and start it back up and memory and cpu usage for NetworkManager is like 0% as right now I'm connected with 0% [04:41] hello [04:41] my problem is that the cursor seems to have a mind of it's own, it moves by it selfs and I don't even touch my mouse. I even unplugged it but it moves by it self [04:41] Would anyone have time to possibly help a n00b with a wireless issue? [04:41] smalleyes: i was right, section four of that link i gave you suggests that skype uses OSS === Guest2523 is now known as pentaside [04:41] Guest2523: using 8.10?

[05:57] well other wise, xp just takes over [05:57] keith1212131: from linux, on /dev/hda or whatever, it's ok to run grub-install for /dev/sda [05:57] keith1212131: on /dev/sda, microsoft installed the windows mbr [05:57] ok [05:57] <_2> http://ubuntu.pastebin.us/12187 why is this crashing ? [05:57] _2: hm, looks like video driver/framebuffer problems. can you even run vim, or aptitude? [05:57] keith1212131: which leads to the windows bootloader [05:58] yes [05:58] thought so thanks for the help [05:58] frybye: yea its 8.00 here and i have slept at 1.30 [05:58] keith1212131: but, grub can overwrite that, without touching the ntfs [05:58] <_2> prince_jammys but i'm not using either [05:58] jim_p: you in e.europe?? [05:58] _2: i know, but are you able to run them from a terminal? [05:58] keith1212131: and write the grub Stage1 mbr that points to /dev/hda and the partition with /boot/ [05:58] ok [05:58] thanks, [05:59] <_2> prince_jammys no you misunderstand. i'm not using any vidio driver or frame buffer. [05:59] one last question, i can figure out how to use youtube in ubuntu [05:59] jim_p: see pm pse.. [05:59] _2: oh [05:59] keith1212131: but it's best to do running from the linux you want to host the /boot/ directory, so you dont' have to specify root-directory [05:59] ive installed flash and everything [05:59] <_2> prince_jammys yes vim and even elinks are fine. it's that webpage that crashes things. [05:59] _2: strange [05:59] <_2> yeah [05:59] hello, i have kernel 2.6.22-14 running...hardy...any kernel after that, doesn't detect my sata hard disk...any help? [05:59] keith1212131: grub-install assumes that the /root from the linux it's running from is the source of all the images and the menu.lst file etc... [06:00] good to know [06:00] keith1212131: and it doesn't have to be on the same drive === DRNK-E is now known as drnk-e === Netley is now known as NeT_DeMoN [06:00] however, my bios is OLD, it just knows to load the first hdd [06:01] keith1212131: that's what i'm trying to help you fix! [06:01] keith1212131: what motherboard do you have? [06:01] hi , leh gabung [06:01] keith1212131: the last step the bios takes is loading the mbr [06:01] one more proof about how pathetic network manager is. a guy using 8.04 had problems with network manager only working for the wireless interface and never for the wired one. he did everything and he finally upgraded to 8.10 despite my warnings not to! and now the wored interface works, but no wireless at all. simply PATHETIC! [06:01] keith1212131: that's when the bootloader takes over [06:01] ok [06:01] frybye: what improvements are even on the eeebuntu system? I just assumed that since it was intrepid release day I'd install the latest version of the real ubuntu and figure most of the enhancements for the eee were installable. [06:01] <_2> prince_jammys it's definitely the webpage. i can links google.com just fine. [06:02] hii .. [06:02] _2: try another https site [06:02] keith1212131: if it will only load the mbr from one drive, no big deal, just make sure the mbr bootloader knows to find the rest of the files it needs on another drive or whatever [06:02] <_2> prince_jammys what's another https that i can check ? [06:02] 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] 661/741/760 PCI/AGP or 662/761Gx PCIE VGA Display Adapter (rev 03) [06:02] _2: citibank.com, maybe.

[06:02] Hello, would someone be able to help me find out if my video adapter can support compiz cool effects? I just pasted the output above. [06:03] _2: (but honestly, i have no idea what's causing the problem. elinks loads those fine over here) [06:03] allright, its cool [06:03] thanks [06:03] <_2> so i just found a bug in one of the ubuntu web pages ! [06:03] heh [06:03] keith1212131: no problem [06:03] mabus: have a look at the details..http://www.array.org/ubuntu/enhancements.html <-- don't confuse with other products with similar name... ok? [06:03] _2: look for it in the ubuntu forums ;) [06:04] VicTheHunter: probably no. sis onboard video has minimal to none 3d abilities [06:04] <_2> prince_jammys k [06:04] hii [06:04] _2: was a joke. can you even access any of ubuntu's pages? [06:04] keith1212131: wait, it just occured to me, have you been able to run the linux from the other drive at all?? [06:04] yea [06:04] what packages is needed for mp3s to play? [06:04] running linux right now [06:04] keith1212131: how do you do that, if you can't boot that drive [06:04] where is the book marks for FF keep so I can move them to a new system [06:04] it works GREAT [06:05] <_2> prince_jammys eeek it's the entire domain. 'https://wiki.ubuntu.com/' [06:05] or should i say mp3 playback? [06:05] i have to press f11 [06:05] keith1212131: and your primary drive only boots windows? [06:05] jim_p: ubuntu-restricted-extras, i think [06:05] !mp3 | jim_p [06:05] jim_p: For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/common-tasks-chap.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats [06:05] can manually select the secondary drive [06:05] keith1212131: ah, force windows to continue booting on the other drive then ? [06:05] prince_jammys: thanks [06:05] <_2> prince_jammys i have been accessing ubuntu docs with elinks for years. yes. [06:05] keith1212131: thats your bios giving you the option.. i belive you can definitely change that.. [06:06] jjjj [06:06] i know [06:06] keith1212131: djhash: right right [06:06] but at this point, im content, its just a little anouying to watch my pc boot [06:06] keith1212131: wierd bios madness [06:06] does anyone know which file I have to move to get my bookmarks and other thing for firefox on to a different system [06:06] question... why does it that when I have text editor opened, and move to a different desktop, why does text editor follow me? [06:06] _2: perhaps some DNS issue (which i'm totally ignorant about how to fix/diagnose) [06:06] so i can select the boot device [06:06] the linspire is the major linux?? [06:06] <_2> prince_jammys ok update. it only affects username 'root' [06:06] keith1212131: regardless, the solution i present will keep you from having to do that [06:06] how can i add fonts to xwindows ? [06:06] _2: ah. [06:06] or ubuntu ? [06:07] good morning [06:07] im kinda afraid of killing my data, [06:07] keith1212131: dont' worry [06:07] or screwing up normal boots [06:07] only text editor follows me. no other app does... [06:07] _2: curious. though it's a good idea not to use root, anyway. [06:07] keith1212131: you can restore the windows mbr using the grub cd [06:07] <_2> prince_jammys i'm not sure what that error message is saying. [06:07] ok [06:07] What video card would everyone recommend for PCI Express slot, so that I may see compiz effects? [06:07] <_2> prince_jammys hehhe root is my normal username [06:07] Spirits-Sight: well, you can backup your bookmarks by going into the bookmarks option in the toolbar, clicking on organizing bookmarks, and then selecting "Export HTML" [06:07] and im buying a new pc in a few days [06:08] <_2> prince_jammys the superuser is not named root here. [06:08] i want to run linux and xp on the same drive [06:08] _2: THAT's why you were looking for superuser names in #bash [06:08] any easy way to do this [06:08] <_2> prince_jammys yep [06:08] keith1212131: there should be a menu, that lets you change the boot order of the hard drives.. some bioses have different menu for boot devices and then the order of the sub-devices.. (like one menu will let you select HDD or CD or FLOPPY or NET, and another menu you can change the order of devices within each category.. [06:08] keith1212131: in that case, you can use wubi [06:08] _2: it all comes together now. [06:08] keith1212131: dual boot. [06:08] djhash: he has already said his bios won't do that ;) [06:08] <_2> prince_jammys not all. but a few peaces :))) [06:09] so does anyone know why text editor follows me to different desktops? [06:09] rdw200169: i disagree.. i have an older dell dimension.. and i can do that.. [06:09] keith1212131: you don't have to do any partitioning or anything [06:09] djhash: i have to take his word for it ;) [06:09] ok [06:10] _2: i wonder if that username may cause you some problems in apps that naively assume 'root' to be the normal root [06:10] I will try back later [06:10] cya all [06:10] witch os get first dibs, ubuntu on xp [06:10] <_2> prince_jammys ok i solved it. it was an ssl issue. i'm not sure what citybank.com worked? [06:10] keith1212131: as far as booting? [06:10] no [06:10] <_2> s=what=why= [06:11] _2: because you didn't try to log in :) [06:11] when i set up my new pc [06:11] keith1212131: then first dibs for what? [06:11] installing [06:11] _2: i think it goes into ssl once you log in [06:11] keith1212131: well, your laptop will come with windows i'm assuming, [06:11] like install xp, then use ubuntu to resize the pation [06:11] <_2> prince_jammys ah ok. anyway if you ever see that message about no entropy it's ssl failing. [06:11] no, [06:11] its comming without os [06:11] _2: heh, got it. well, at least we were onto something about the https [06:11] keith1212131: alright then [06:12] keith1212131: it's best to install windows first, then put in ubuntu [06:12] ok [06:12] keith1212131: windows doesn't play well with others, so let it do it's thing [06:12] thanks guys, this is a rly good OS [06:12] its like the anti OS X [06:12] <_2> prince_jammys indeed. and thanks for talking me through that. some times all it takes is to hear ones own problem described... ;/ [06:12] keith1212131: while ubuntu *does* play well, and will safely resize the NTFS partition, or install with windows using wubi [06:13] right [06:13] OMG my grub is completly buggered [06:13] Anybody have an idea how to reconfigure ALSA so it has a different default audio device? Mine has decided that the default device is PulseAudio - not an actual sound card I can control [06:13] please help me in fixing it [06:13] on a live pendrive reight now [06:13] whats a package that would install the right sound drivers for my laptop, from xubuntu? [06:13] _2: my initial comment was because of the DirectFB message, but I guess you always get that with links2 [06:13] like i love the flexibility here [06:13] Yoshi: well, can you get into the hard drive? [06:13] On my Ubuntu 8.04.1 computer ran just the process gs a long time and used 94% of the prozessor time. Has this been triggered by a weekly cronjob? To what purpose?

[06:15] ill be back [06:15] Yoshi: manually [06:15] i have to reboot [06:15] keith1212131: good luck !

Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. [06:21] ok [06:21] how can i install segio font on ubuntu? [06:21] Doc8404: too much problems to face. it does not worth it now [06:22] prince_jammys: thanks a lot! the last ubuntu forum post i could find pointed me to /usr/share/deskbar-applet/art. i'll try the ones you've uncovered for me [06:22] jim_p: that is also enabled [06:22] Uplink: do you have the .ttf file ?

The Ubuntu partitioner failed to recognise Windows...so will instal over the top. Anyone else have this issue? BTW, I managed to install 8.04 on the same laptop without a problem... [06:40] djhash: what did I intend? [06:40] anyone frustrated yet with pulseaudio? [06:40] it is driving me crazy [06:40] hi everyone [06:40] 中国 [06:40] jaakkome: I agree with you on that, what wireless configuration are you using, I wonder if wpa_supplicant can do what you want [06:41] jaakkome: using wpa_supplicant you can define different wireless networks, maybe they have a cmd= option or something [06:41] <_2> So how come when I search using packages.ubuntu.org,...ame kernel-image...apt-cach search kernel-image... <<< the 2.6.* kernels have always been "linux-image*" pavkages [06:41] _2: That's cause, the kernel is litterally a small image. [06:42] * albino is confused [06:42] linux-image-* is the Ubuntu kernel package. [06:42] right [06:42] Hi there, i have Ubuntu 8.04 Desktop installed on my machine, i see 8.10 has been released, but running sudo apt-get udpate && sudo apt-get upgrade will that update my system to 8.10? [06:42] so i tried unrar-free to extract the files. but it only creates a folder and nothing else happens [06:42] ubottu rocks [06:42] Sorry, I don't know anything about rocks [06:42] so 'apt-cache search linux-image' shows a lot of possible kernel images [06:42] smokewon: Not quite, no (that'll get you a fully up to date Hardy) [06:42] !upgrade | smokewon [06:42] smokewon: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes [06:42] what I'm trying to do is find them for intrepid [06:42] <_2> eumario no. that's because kernel-image is a 2.4.* kernel not a 2.6.* kernel like the linux-image*s [06:42] can someone suggest me something so that I can find a friend in gaim by email>? [06:43] Venin, unrar-free can;t handle rar 3.0 files iirc fromt he description of the package [06:43] looking for an install image that will be happy on a usb flash drive than can be setup from windows. [06:43] check it for yourself in synaptic [06:43] i want to recompile the ubuntu kernel to change some options [06:43] server no has dvd drive, remote location with only a win32 laptop [06:43] albino: the network I'd be connecting to the most uses wep, not wpa [06:43] freakabcd: yeah.. i know.. but is it that common to compress with 3.0 ? [06:43] _2: ahh finally, got it [06:43] _2: That's just a change in naming convention, it happens over time. [06:43] Anon3386: what do u mean half way.. you need to give more details..

I'm trying to get mail working on my new server, and while I can send mail out, I can't receive it. I was wondering if someone can hold my hand a bit [06:44] Venin, did you somehow expect the people using rar on windows xp/vista to be using an old version of rar? [06:44] <_2> albino welcome [06:44] whats going on with it [06:44] jaakkome: actually most of the networks I use it with are wep not wpa [06:44] they'll prolly be running the latest version [06:44] Flannel: i have like 3 tabs on gnome alsa mixer [06:44] _2, albino: those two kernel-image packages are for debian installer only. Not regular systems. [06:44] which would generate 3.x files [06:44] Flannel: yeah, I saw that. That's why I was so confused they had 'di' in their name [06:44] If I try telnet localhost 25 locally, I get a response, but when I try telnet 25 externally, I can't connect [06:44] So I knew that wasn't what I wanted [06:44] freakabcd: its a tv episode.. i figured they could even use linux :p [06:44] Is there a way to password guard a folder ??? [06:44] albino: oh, hmh... I still don't seem to be using that however [06:44] can anyone help me get youtube videos to play [06:44] Gibbster: Are you behind a Router? [06:45] Venin, they could. but unrar-nonfree is available from the repos :) [06:45] While trying to install ubuntu for the first time, I got the error: GRUB loading, please wait... Error 2 [06:45] hello all. any mac users in here who have either switched to ubuntu or use both? i'm interested to talk to someone like this [06:45] eumario: I'm using linode, which is a vps provider [06:45] jaakkome: I'm not sure about this, but if you're using default ubuntu you're likely using NetworkManager [06:45] yes, networkmanager is running [06:46] Gibbster: Okay, then you would basically need to make sure that Port 25 is being listened to on all addresses, and not just localhost. [06:46] and a program called nm-applet [06:46] eumario: sounds good. Care to guide me through that? ;-) [06:46] Gibbster: if you do a netstat -nat, and look for port 25, and it shows 127.0.0.1::25, then you need to have it bind to all addresses, which is done through 0.0.0.0::25 [06:47] okay im starting to wonder if ibex is half baked [06:47] anyone have problems with pulseaudio and not being able to change volume from mplayer? [06:47] its seems to crash when i try to mount partitions in live [06:47] Gibbster: Which mailer are you using? [06:47] Hello, trying to get Moblock working, but I keep getting a error whenI try to install, can anyone help? [06:47] on my laptop starting takes forever [06:47] jaakkome: this is way harder than it should be, for sure [06:47] eumario:tcp 0 0 127.0.0.1:25 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN [06:47] eumario:sendmail [06:48] does anyone know how to get youtube to work [06:48] hi all [06:48] Gibbster: Alright, that means that sendmail is only listening to loopback, EG: 127.0.0.1 [06:48] hello [06:48] keith: have you installed flash? [06:48] yea [06:48] who uses ubuntu 8.10 [06:48] that and everyother player for flv [06:49] eumario: hmm. do you know how to change that? [06:49] eumario: I'm a sendmail newbie, unfortunately [06:49] can someone tell me how i can search my budies by email in pidgin? [06:49] albino: yes, I would've figured the network manager thing would help me to run programs on different events as a feature [06:49] Gibbster: Sec, gotta look it up. Been a while since I messed with sendmail for SMTP/POP [06:49] keith: so what happens when you browse to a youtube page? [06:49] keith: nothing at all? and does other flash sites work? [06:50] hi, i can get apache2-dev installed, always says : [06:50] The following packages have unmet dependencies: [06:50] apache2-threaded-dev: Depends: libaprutil1-dev but it is not going to be installed [06:50] php5-dev: Depends: libssl-dev but it is not going to be installed [06:50] E: Broken packages [06:50] SpinachHead: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.

[06:50] jaakkome: yep, me too, just looked at the manpage and the homepage for NetworkManager, very unimpressive [06:50] is anyone experiencing the alsa/networkmanager issue in intrepid? [06:50] SpinachHead: Theres no package called apache2-dev [06:50] jaakkome: no sort of information on how to do something like what you're after [06:51] is there a way to get the creative sound blaster xfi working under 8.10?

[06:52] how can I find out if the digikam version is kde3 or kde4 (without installing it)? [06:52] tsuna27: with a text editor would work. [06:52] jaakkome: NetworkManager seems like it fits in with the gnome ecosystem, maybe you can query it with dbus apis [06:52] Ayabara: In Intrepid, it's KDE4. Since Intrepid only has KDE4 [06:52] jaakkome: If you're not much into programming though, that will be a lot of work [06:52] wubi: Do you have a computer with WinXP installed first and you are now trying to install 8.10? [06:52] Flannel: are there no kde3 apps in the repos for intrepid? [06:52] I'm having an error saying that the signature for http://om.archives.ubuntu.com is invalid, where can I get the key from?

[06:56] this is on a dell d600 which has a working copy of hardy [06:56] thanks notdkw, what about in browser and such? [06:56] Assid: Are you kidding me? it takes me less than a minute to boot [06:56] i remember this problem previously in gutsy..

[07:00] tsuna27: Alright, go to run, type "msconfig" then go to the boot.ini tab, click the ubuntu entry, and hit "set as default" [07:00] RinTinTigger: mine's 32-bit intrepid btw [07:00] sea: no, that won't work.

[07:01] i edited my partition with gparted. in gparted i see that 5.41 GiB of my partiotion is used. but i can't see any file in my partition. how can i solve it? [07:01] RinTinTigger: i think we have different issues :/ [07:01] _2 i think we have a spy ;) [07:01] djhash: I ran apt-cache search displayconfig-gtk but it didn't display anything or appear to do anything. [07:01] msshams, how big is the partition total? What filesystem is on it? [07:01] BoltClock yeah ;) [07:01] what's the name of the fun utility to turn a USB drive into a LiveCD (of sorts) [07:01] * Assid doesnt like ibex on his dell d600 [07:01] And synaptic can't find displayconfig-gtk at all.

[07:10] _2: you can go talk to the people in #ubuntu-x [07:10] I think i have problems with IRC can someone please tell me if you can see what im typing?

[07:11] <_2> ziroday is that like, "we don't want to hear it!" or what ? [07:11] ok, for some reason when I use IRC after a while my connection drops any ideas? [07:11] ziroday: thank you for your help [07:11] i just upgraded from 8.04 to 8.10 and my flash in firefox is not working [07:11] RinTinTigger: Did you check your volume levels? mine were low by default [07:11] am4zin: thanks [07:11] why the hell does the fonts go all supernova size on me and bold when i choose subpixel smoothening [07:12] _2: no its like, I am not sure, and don't think this is the best place to ask. The pro's live in #ubuntu-x, ask there [07:12] msshams, it shows 448 files but you dont see any of them by name? thats weird.. You could just reformat the filesystem if thers nonting you want on it. [07:12] Flannel: ah i did what u said but now i lost my AWN dock [07:12] I just installed 8.10, but I only have dialup (serial modem), and 8.10 comes without PPP, etc. Is there a way I can use my outgoing 8.04 setup to manually download and install gnome-ppp (and any dependencies?) without using Synaptic? Then when I boot 8.10, I can manually install gnome-ppp, and thereafter start using Synaptic in the usual way? (This is like having a LAN card and no driver, LOL) [07:12] albino: Well, thanks for your help, I think I found all I need to get that working now.

[07:14] Flannel: also how can i share files btw my OS's for example share songs from XP on2 ubuntu w/o copying all the songs [07:14] can someone help me with playing a dvd, i get this error when trying to play it in mplayer [07:14] http://paste.ubuntu.com/66077/ [07:14] ljuwaidah i dunno what else to do [07:14] <_2> MyHeadHurts where are you getting "error 2" ? [07:14] MyHeadHurts: Grub was configured improperly.. [07:14] msshams, the total is the total # of K of the files it sees.. from what i can tell.. not the # of files. [07:15] MyHeadHurts: are you getting it after you select a boot option or before? [07:15] ljuwaidah: It worked well :-) thanks [07:15] RinTinTigger: Did you restart your comp? :P [07:15] Before [07:15] i edited my partition with gparted. in gparted i see that 5.41 GiB of my partiotion is used. but i can't see any file in my partition. how can i solve it?

I'm unable to upgrade from an old Edgy version, and I'm wondering if the errors are fixable, or if I should simply reinstall with the latest version? [07:17] what does a {u} or {a} after a package name mean? [07:17] does anybody use icon themes& it seems most of them do not work properly with Intrepid and Hardy [07:17] dubi: what hardware are you trying to fix? i'm assuming nvidia [07:18] johnklindstedt, you need to do incremental upgrades from edgy up to current. ie multiple steps instead of one single step [07:18] rdw200169: yes an old nvidia geforce [07:18] dubi: b/c ubuntu is having some problems w/nvidia in 8.10 for certain video cards [07:18] uh oh [07:18] thehongtt: for future reference, what did you do? [07:18] Ah, yes. That seems to be the case. But my upgrade utility is broken. [07:18] dubi: yeah, you're being forced into using the open source nvidia driver due to some proprietary driver issues [07:18] er, @ gaurdro [07:18] rdw200169, does this mean oh darn, [07:18] i just upgraded i knew i shouldnt have upgraded [07:19] what errors is it giving you?

[07:21] nah, i don't need to install it inside windows. see rdw200169's comment [07:21] ljuwaidah: nvidia on 8.10 [07:21] somehow the scroll in firefox is extremely laggy for me [07:21] but even compiz works compeltely fine [07:21] friendlyghost, i would say avoide using 'wubi' unless yoi have no other options.. and you could just use virtualbox and run ubuntu inside a virtual machine on windows, if you really wanttd to just test it out. [07:21] _2: b/c he might be talking aobut a shared drive or something [07:21] <_2> rdw200169 i was just answering the question as it was asked.

[07:21] thanks anyway, _2 [07:22] dr_willis, friendlyghost: that's rediculous. wubi is a far better choice than virtualization. [07:22] hi all, i am trying to set a static ip to my machine (8.10, 64bit). however, even tough my router has been feed with the correct mac address, it still refuses to give this computer the needed address. any ideas what i might messed up? [07:22] friendlyghost: now, depending on whether or not you want to use wubi, you could do some windows tricks regarding whether or not you keep 'program files' on another partition [07:22] you just use the hardware drivers option in administration [07:22] friendlyghost: but that's outside my scope of caring about windows ;) [07:22] Flannel, not for my needs.. and given the # of isses i see people ahve with wubi.. i wont ever reccomend wubi [07:22] ljuwaidah: in system>administration>hardware drivers its blank. no choice for nvidia card , no nothing [07:22] Hello, how can I save my running applications in their workstation when I shutdown?

[07:22] 2nd question: ok, so lets use static ip using network manager... this does work, but for some reason my internal dns addresses fail to work (and the correct dns server is set in /etc/resolv.conf). again, any tips? [07:23] friendlyghost: regardless, a normal ubuntu install insists on ext3, ext2, etc... and prefers, defaults, to ext3 [07:23] rdw200169: nevermind, it was pretty specific - have a usb external drive, wanted to copy a back up of my ubuntu on to it, & run it from it, but the drive is already ntfs, so no go [07:23] how do i get rid of all the old kernels i have? [07:23] <_2> and the wubi methood lets you install ubuntu withing a file on an ntfs partition friendlyghost & rdw200169 if i'm not mistaken... that means you "run ubuntu on a ntfs partition?" [07:23] at this point i am tempted to just install from the penddrive [07:23] rdw200169: in this case, ntfs will never work, because of the permissions etc... related to the subtle difference b/w the way unix does things and windows [07:23] since i aint upgraded yet [07:24] <_2> can run ^ [07:24] dubi: Sorry, that's the only way I know [07:24] whoops, i meant friendlyghost [07:24] Uplink: dpkg -r [07:24] not myself .. [07:24] rdw200169: yeah [07:24] i edited my partition with gparted. in gparted i see that 5.41 GiB of my partiotion is used. but i can't see any file in my partition. how can i solve it? [07:24] uplink, sudo apt-get remove linux-image-version_you_wish_to_remove-generic [07:24] ljuwaidah: ok :( [07:24] does any1 noe if i can use files from windows on linux while i dual boot [07:24] here is the first set of errors: http://paste.ubuntu.com/66086/ [07:24] does anyone knows where can I find a mono-intrepid ibex repository? [07:25] friendlyghost: it's always bad to put unix stuff on a windows partition b/c it screws up, deletes, all the unix specific permissions and owner/group stuff [07:25] I thought 8.10 would have that problem solved? >:( [07:25] eazel7: mono for intrepid? [07:25] msshams: how about formating the drive? ofcourse if it doesnt have any files you need.. [07:26] <_2> is "tar" a file system ? [07:26] Flannel: right, I'd like to test some things in the 2.0 version and I don't want to mess up anything (I'm not a .deb maker, no idea on that) [07:26] !tar [07:26] Files with extensions .tar, .gz, .tgz, .zip, .bz2, .7z, .ace and other archive file formats can be opened with file-roller (GNOME) or Ark (KDE) - Also see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FileCompression [07:26] _2: no, it's a compressed file type [07:26] Now it's time for me to retire, to reboot this system, and hopefully get it working on the kernel, and video card. [07:26] eazel7: mono is in the regular Intrepid repos. both 1.0 and 2.0 [07:26] L8ers everyone. [07:26] _2, right, compressed [07:26] <_2> rdw200169 tar is not compressed [07:26] rdw200169, _2: tar isn't compressed, just concatenated. [07:26] djhash: i don't format it. just move and grow up partition size. [07:26] Flannel: how can i get my music from XP 2 play on ubuntu w/o copying again [07:26] can omebody help me so the scroll in firefox becomes less laggy? [07:26] simple [07:26] latest is 1.9.1 I think, but for sure not the 2.0 one [07:26] use rockbox [07:26] Flannel: i've been slapped! [07:27] tsuna27: Normally you can just mount/read your NTFS drives, but I have no idea regarding if thats doable with wubi. [07:27] and add the folder with all ur mp3s [07:27] !who | keith1212131 [07:27] keith1212131: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [07:27] sorry [07:27] msshams: i'm not asking you if you formatted it.. i'm telling you.. if there are no files in there that you want.. then you can re-format it.. [07:27] np [07:27] I'm having trouble upgrading from Edgy. I'm getting repository errors. [07:27] It seems even 8.10 too has same old ugly artwork :( [07:27] why can't play rmvb format file ? [07:27] YES! I have office 2007 on linux, WOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOO [07:27] tsuna27: if it's wubi, point to /host [07:28] tsuna27: there you will have your Windows file (if it's wubi) [07:28] o.O [07:28] djhash: no, i need them. that files are critically. [07:28] <_2> Flannel but is it (tar) a filesystem, technechly speaking ? [07:28] tsun: just add the folder that has all ur mp3s [07:28] _2: nah, its a file format [07:28] tsun: in rockbox [07:28] eazel7: yes i hav wubi [07:29] help [07:29] <_2> Flannel hmmm, then i'm using floppy disks with no file system on them at all. storing files and dirs full of files on them. [07:29] Hey guys i was just wondering if there was a way to consolidate all the mounted drives that i have into one nice tidy place on my desktop [07:29] johnklindstedt: Edgy has been out of support (EOL) for over six months now. Most of the mirrors have been offline for at least a few months. You should consider upgrading. Feisty (what you'll be upgrading to) is also EOL now. So you'll need to do at least two upgrades to get to a currently supported version. [07:29] tsuna27: just do alt+f2 and type /host, that will take you to your windows partition ;) [07:30] Reynastus, ive often just made a directory that had a bunch of soft links to the varius mounted drives I have. Sincei had one box with 8 hard drives.. [07:30] #vmware [07:30] msshams: what do you get when you "ls -al" in the drive [07:30] Flannel: Ah, phew. I was beginning to think that was the problem, I simply couldn't get a straight answer from google. [07:30] I just installed 8.10, but I only have dialup (serial modem), and 8.10 comes without PPP, etc. Is there a way I can use my outgoing 8.04 setup to manually download and install gnome-ppp (and any dependencies?) without using Synaptic? Then when I boot 8.10, I can manually install gnome-ppp, and thereafter start using Synaptic in the usual way? (This is like having a LAN card and no driver, LOL) [07:30] So, might a reinstall with a more recent LiveCD be a good option? [07:31] johnklindstedt: That'd certainly be quicker. Might I suggest 8.04, which is an LTS. You won't have to upgrade for another 3 years (and you can upgrade straight to 10.04) [07:31] dr_willis: ive got 6 different partitions, and having those all scattered on the desktop kind of clutters it, how do i go about making a directory for the mounted drive links go into? [07:31] <_2> so, wubi lets you install linux without a file system ? only a file format ? /me goes to google. [07:31] johnklindstedt: you can upgrade of course, if you'd prefer. But a fresh install will undoubtedly be quicker in your time, and your download time. [07:32] Reynastus, make a directory/folder, use ln -s command, or the file manager to make links to their mountpoints [07:32] I'm so happy [07:32] it even starts faster than on vista! [07:32] djhash: http://paste.ubuntu.com/66088/ [07:32] Flannel: I believe it's my only option. I can't even get an upgrade to execute. [07:32] Reynastus: aren't they all in /media or /mnt or something already ? [07:32] johnklindstedt: Well, thats because you're pointing at bad repositories, etc. [07:32] msshams, you did look in the lost+found directory? [07:32] Flannel: Catch 22. [07:33] msshams: do "cd lost+found" and then "ls -al" [07:33] Flannel: Thank you, sir. You've set me on the proper track. [07:33] johnklindstedt: Nah, theres an archive of old repositoris (in case you wanted to go back and try out Warty or something) online. [07:33] joeKr2: yeah they mount into /media/sda1 etc, but on the desktop ubuntu is putting links to the /media/sda1etc and thats what i was hoping to tidy up a little more [07:33] hello [07:34] my computer can go on suspende or hibernate [07:34] Reynastus: OK [07:34] In 8.04 how can you tell if Compiz is running? [07:34] hi, i have a problem with some of my mp3 files [07:34] any help [07:34] Flannel: Oh? Hmm... If I wanted to use them to upgrade from Edgy to Feisty (which is a bastard of a process of course) how might I go about that? Insert some archive entries into my source.list? [07:34] dr_willis: http://paste.ubuntu.com/66089/ [07:34] <_2> johnklindstedt as Flannel was just mentioning you only need to change your sources.list and you can still use any of the old versions [07:34] i must say, i am impressed [07:34] johnklindstedt: instead of archive.ubuntu.com, old-releases.ubuntu.com [07:35] msshams: type "find" [07:35] Interesting. Allow me to take a look! [07:35] johnklindstedt: then use update-manager (which you need to again, jump through some hoops for, because it autogenerates some things), and that'll work. Let me get you the bugreport with the workaround for update-manager [07:35] bob_: system > administration > system monitor [07:35] check if you have compiz there [07:35] msshams, looks like you had some file system curruption - and it moved a lot of things to lost+found [07:35] rhythmbox will synic with ipod [07:35] ok, so I guess that nobody tried mono 2.0 on ibex [07:35] my files do not contain id3 tags the files are named in the pattern "interpret - title.mp3" is there any opportunity to create the id3 tags (and not only interpret and title) [07:35] the class too [07:35] msshams, explore the lost+found directory and see if you fiond any files you want to keep [07:36] why does having subpixel make the fonts bold? [07:36] dr_willis: he says.. critical.. and he moves and resize partition without backing up.. not his lucky day [07:37] Flannel: Much obliged. [07:37] dr_willis: i see many file like that links in that folder. how can i find? [07:37] johnklindstedt: I believe this is the one: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/feisty/+source/update-manager/+bug/241431 but let me know if that doesn't actually have a fix [07:37] msshams, explore the directory using the shell or whatever filemanager you want.. look at the file contents [07:37] can any gentle soul send me the flash player for ubuntu hardy, adobe's website keeps timing out on me [07:37] ljuwaidah- so if it doesnt show in "processes" it's not running? [07:37] bob_: probably :) [07:38] bob_: I have compiz, compize-docorator, and compiz.real === zaggy-nl_ is now known as zaggy-nl [07:38] anyone know why my Creative Live! webcam will work in cheese, but not in kopete? [07:38] bob_: You can also check in your appearance preferences [07:39] dr_willis: that files are empty [07:39] can anyone help me with installation of beta driver for nvidia legacy? [07:39] here: http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=122139 [07:39] ljuwaidah: I am having trouble with my mouse pointer moving my curser. just like "Dwell click" were turned on [07:39] msshams, check all of them.. i would guess one or more are what are taking up some of your space. of course recovering them may be impossible.. but y would go thorugh eacy dierctory and look at the files and see if any seem to be worth backing up. [07:39] if I was not using Wubi could i still use that /host thing 2 access XP files [07:40] Flannel: The problem with the workaround is that do-release-upgrade doesn't ask me if I'd like to continue with a mirror, it simply calls me a blasphemer and exits. [07:40] bob_: Are you sure it's not turned on? ;) [07:40] johnklindstedt: intruiging. [07:40] I'm not sure of anything.......BAhahahaha [07:40] what port does vncviewer use?? how in general can i figure out what port things use without asking in irc? :P [07:40] tsuna27: Click Places->Computer, it should list your partition [07:40] johnklindstedt: Well, if you can't get that to work, we can do it the old fashioned way super easy. [07:41] Flannel: Bricks and windows? [07:41] what port does vncviewer use?? how in general can i figure out what port things use without asking in irc? :P [07:41] msshams: the problem you are having is a corrupted filesystem that has been sorta "fixed".. even using fdisk wont help you.. all you can do now. is to try and find files that are not empty and identify them by their contents.. then keep the ones you want.. and reformat the drive.. [07:41] eazel7: im just asking is it just as ez if i wasnt using wubi [07:41] oops sorry for repost [07:41] i wonder if anyone can help me to solve the lag of firefox [07:42] tsuna27: how have you installed your Ubuntu?= [07:42] hi, I have a software raid1 rigged up, what happens if the 2 partitions I'm using for it are only marked as type Linux rather than Linux raid auto ? [07:42] johnklindstedt: Nah, just no new fangled update-manager stuff. manual apt-get commands, etc. [07:42] ljuwaidah: I'm noob at Linux. I went to #conpiz-fusion, they say its not them [07:43] Flannel: Ah! Apt-get upgrade, or apt-get update? [07:43] bob_: do check if it's on [07:43] Aha! 211 mb of upgrades required. I believe we've hit the jackpot. [07:43] johnklindstedt: Just to make sure I know what state your system is in, go ahead and pastebin your sources.list [07:43] johnklindstedt: ah, or that ;) [07:43] system > preferences > mouse > accessibility [07:43] ljuwaidah: how? [07:43] When i go alt+f2 i want to type 'sabnzbd' and have it run my sabnzbd script. i stuck the script in /usr/bin but it still doesn't work. ideas? [07:43] Flannel: I'll still send it your way.

[07:49] tsuna27: then you probably have to mount it manually, but try to take a look at /media [07:49] so geforce 4 dont gonna anymore [07:49] :-( [07:49] cvd_: check the release notes, im pretty sure it mentioned the nvidia legacy drivers [07:49] cvd: ive got 2x 9800GT's in this box, i cant even install the proper nvidia drivers following every guide i could find with 8.10 [07:49] either issues, or unsupported .. or something === Dopppp is now known as Doppp [07:49] i got my 6800 working [07:50] hi I have built - md0 : active raid1 sdc1[1] - but /dev/sdc is of type Linux not Linux raid auto, will this matter?

[07:50] johnklindstedt: But yes, laptop hardware is usually more esoteric than desktop stuff. [07:50] what hapend with the open source 3d card any heard of that?

The girlfriend wasn't too pleased with her new silent laptop. Again, thank you too much for your help. [07:51] Hi. Silly question re RAID. I have RAID arrays, configured during installation. At 1:00 this morning, something appears to have launched a "check" against the arrays. Is this something Ubuntu is doing? [07:51] edwinlin88: press the button labeled 'power' [07:51] hehee [07:51] digitalvectorz, install kde 3 [07:51] johnklindstedt: Generally you can get it to work though.

[07:54] <_2> trying to find out just what exactly a file system is, i have found so far that: "A filesystem is a logical division within a physical partition." and "What Is A Filesystem? A Linux filesystem is a low-level application that manages the storage and access of files on a Linux computer system." just goes to show you can't believe everything you read. especally if you find in on google. [07:54] digitalvectorz, you use ubuntu with kde4 or kubuntu? [07:54] Wooo thanks everyone who helped me with my GRUB issue. Problem solved and Ubuntu is working ^_^ [07:54] can anyone help? [07:54] how can i make my panel letters white? [07:54] A filesystem is where your files are. [07:54] digitalvectorz, ask here #kubuntu [07:54] When i hold a keyboard key down in intrepid it repeats the key way too fast. Ive already put the 'delay' in keyboard settings to max but it made absolutely no difference. is this a bug?

[07:57] Yoshi: then, where you stuck? [07:57] Reynastus, /media has them all kind of like my computer [07:57] anyone know why after upgrading from 8.04 to 8.10 the burn effect in compiz is missing? [07:57] Reynastus, or places - computer [07:57] what is the command 2 open rhythmbox [07:57] tsuna27, rhythmbox [07:58] jianingy it wont run. the grub install cant find sdb1 [07:58] flynsarmy: that im aware of and its more that when i mount a drive it puts a soft link to the /media/etc, on the desktop which is annoying as i have 6 drives that i mount to and from [07:58] if i have a 64bit intel machine xeon which version i should install ? [07:58] anyone else having an issue with the new kernel panicking? [07:58] Does anyone notice that Xorg in Ubuntu 8.10 takes LOTS of CPU time?

[07:58] Yoshi: how do you know your hd is sdb [07:59] flynsarmy: and thats what i was trying to hold into one folder on my desktop [07:59] EdLin: it all depends on the make or model of the drive [07:59] Yoshi: grub should be install on the MBR not any of the partitions, so it should be /dev/sdb [07:59] and why are you installing in sdb1? instead of sdb [07:59] MyHeadHurts: in your guide grub cant find the stage1 file though i knwo it is there i can mount the directory and find it manually [07:59] mib_e625nj2o, lliteon ez-dub [07:59] lite-on* [07:59] hey guys [08:00] anyone can help? I installed nvidia driver on Intrepid and after boot I see a blue line a top of monitor and nothing else (should see the xorg login screen) if I switch back to nv driver everything is working again. The driver version is 173 and the card is 6100. [08:00] jianingy: it isnt finding sdb at all [08:00] if i have a 64bit intel machine xeon which version i should install ? amd64 ? [08:00] flynsarmy: what is the comman i woudl type in terminal [08:00] sar4j: i know only cause fdisk -l tells me it is. and when i mount it i can find the files [08:00] Edlin: put a readable disk and see if ubuntu reads it [08:00] DarKnesS_WolF: AMD64 will give you a 64bit OS, you can also go with i386, which will give you a 32bit OS [08:00] tsuna27, rhythmbox [08:01] sar4j, no joy. [08:01] how can i recover lost+found files? [08:01] im having some issues with 8.10 on my computer, the livecd loads into the desktop and then stops (mouse activity icon is spinning every now and then) [08:01] oh and the mouse doesnt respond.. [08:01] any ideas? [08:01] edlin: have you restarted since you plugged it in [08:01] yes [08:01] Yoshi: what's the erros gurb-install gave you? [08:01] Flannel: Xeon waht version i should go with ? [08:01] Reynastus, http://ge.ubuntuforums.com/showthread.php?t=684790 [08:02] hadyos, it's an issue the proprietary nvidia drivers are having with some cards under 8.10 so you're stuck using the open source drivers [08:02] jianingy: /dev/sdb: Not found or not a block device. [08:02] DarKnesS_WolF: How much RAM do you have? [08:02] it's known bug? [08:02] how can i configure my wireless connection ? [08:02] When i hold a keyboard key down in intrepid it repeats the key way too fast. Ive already put the 'delay' in keyboard settings to max but it made absolutely no difference. is this a bug? [08:02] edlin: have u got a model number [08:02] Flannel: 4GB [08:02] Flannel: it is quad core as i think or 2 CPU each dual core [08:03] dx-204apu [08:03] Xeon [08:03] where r my icons located?? [08:03] DarKnesS_WolF: If you use 32bit, you'll only get to use about 3.2G of that. [08:03] jianingy: yet i chrooted into sdb [08:03] Flannel: how do i know which CPU is that ? [08:03] forums are down!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! [08:03] Hi All...This is probably a stupid question. But why do I get "is not a block device" when I try to mount my home directory onto /mnt/tst [08:03] no they arent [08:03] mtholdenss: NOOOOOOOOOO! [08:03] DarKnesS_WolF: 4GB isn't a number of CPUs, thats your RAM, memory. [08:03] :| [08:03] mikematic, whats the mountcommand you are using? or the fstab line [08:04] edlin: sorry, but im stuck i cant seem to find any linux drivers at all [08:04] http://ubuntuforums.org/ [08:04] Flannel: i did already instaleld AMD64 and the machine is xeon .... and it did work and boot and everything is fine so that means the CPU is 64Bit ? [08:04] Flannel: i know [08:04] Yoshi: have you tried the alternative (hd#, #) to /dev/sdb [08:04] Yoshi: weird... are you sure that your bootdisk is /dev/sdb? have you tried /dev/sda? [08:04] mib_e625nj2o, maybe that's not the right model number [08:04] DarKnesS_WolF: You said it was 64bit xeon. But yes, if 64bit worked, 64bits will work. [08:04] dr_willis: I use sudo mount /home/mikematic /mnt/tst [08:04] Flannel: where would my pictures of icons be located [08:04] Flannel: so the AMD64 for xeon and AMD cpus ? [08:04] mikematic, thats the problem then... you use a DEVICE... not a dirctory [08:04] the AMD64 ISO for xeon and AMD cpus ? [08:04] do I have to do something extra to be able to connect to an isa server? [08:05] You do not appear to be using the NVIDIA X driver. Please edit your X configuration file (just run `nvidia-xconfig` as root), and restart the X server. <-what do i do [08:05] jianingy: sda is an ntfs drive [08:05] DarKnesS_WolF: AMD64 is the generic name for "64bit" as far as we're concerned. [08:05] edlin: i thinks thats the right model number cause i found the firmware on the lite-on website [08:05] mib_e625nj2o, do dvd burners usually need drivers? [08:05] mikematic, mount /dev/DEVICENAME /media/mountpoint [08:05] Flannel: ok thx [08:05] mikematic, because it's not a physical (block) device. if you're mounting /home/usrname to another directory mount -t bind /home/usrname /mount/point might be more of what you're looking for [08:05] jianingy: also not bootablke as according to what fdisk -l says [08:05] tsuna27: Um, /usr/share/... pixmaps? [08:05] jianingy: also i know i set this particular drive up with a particulare boot partition [08:05] Thanks dr and Gaurdro...I will try that [08:05] plx i need help [08:05] Yoshi: so, have you set your bios to boot from the secondary harddisk? [08:05] my nvidia settings wont work [08:06] how can i configure my wireless connection ? [08:06] edlin: is there a usb0 in /media [08:06] Has anyone noticed keyboard key delay is incredibly fast in intrepid compared to hardy? [08:06] tehboriz, use the open source driver. [08:06] jianingy: yes i tld it to boot from this hard drive or i think i did. when it tried to boot it goes directly to grub prompt. all other drives give me grub error [08:06] I try to set preferred program for multimedia ,but the setting never seem to take . What can I do ? [08:06] ljuwaidah, your probably sick of ppl saying the forums are down [08:06] edlin: not intermal ones [08:06] jianingy: i already tried using the root command didnt work [08:06] mib_e625nj2o, no usb0 [08:06] the proprietary drivers are having an issue with some cards in the newest release [08:07] anyone know why after upgrading from 8.04 to 8.10 the burn effect in compiz is missing? [08:07] gaurdro: i can't make it work it keeps giving me errors [08:07] Flannel: thx this explanes everything i thought that amd64 is only for amd and xeon you can use anything else [08:07] mtholdenss: not really, you're the first and I don't visit the forums anyways ;) [08:07] i have a pretty simple question... i'm just wondering what i need to theme to change the color/style of the "Application" bar in Gnome [08:07] gaurdro: i have a weird video card in my laptop maybe that's why? [08:07] mtholdenss, they're not quite down, just under very heavy load. [08:07] Yoshi: weird. i think it runs out of my knowledge, i can't figure out the problems ... [08:07] they work fine here.. [08:08] what is the appropriate size for a swap partition if you have a lot of ram.... n * ram seems ridiculous [08:08] tehboriz, what drivers are you using? [08:08] jianingy: bugger. and to think this started from a simple wandering hboatloader *grumbles* [08:08] schmoop: Do you intend to hibernate? [08:08] Ibex, I can no longer Ctrl+H on the desktop? [08:08] Yoshi: heh I still think trying reinstalling grub through terminal on the ubuntu live cd will help [08:08] gaurdro: how do i check [08:08] which repository has Unison? I can't find it on Ubuntu 8.10 [08:08] i don't think im even using a driver [08:08] Flannel: sometimes [08:08] Do hosts on a network ONLY register their hostnames if their lease is up via DHCP? [08:08] schmoop: then you need at least 1*RAM [08:08] hrm, nobody? [08:09] ljuwaidah:Did I loose you?

[08:09] hello, I've got a problem with upgrading from hardy to intrepid [08:09] one thing im disappointed about ubuntu 8.10 is the nvidia driver going from 169.12 to 173. it screwed up for the fx cards, and sometimes the title bar goes white. [08:09] MyHeadHurts: except thet it cant find /boot/grub/stage1 [08:09] ljuwaidah:We were working on my cursor problem [08:09] MyHeadHurts: though it can find /grub/stage1 [08:09] Thanks Flannel [08:09] bob_: right [08:10] rsmith: apt-cache search unison (in a term) [08:10] I've started the update-manager with the -d option, and chose to upgrade my distribution [08:10] mib_e625nj2o, I can't find that [08:10] how do i check what video drive i'm using [08:10] Yoshi: and what does grub/stage1 return [08:10] bob_: so did you check your visual effects? [08:11] bloemkool, just run update-manager it'll pop up with a dist upgrade option. [08:11] i'm with 8.04. will ubuntu ask me if I want to upgrade, like it did last time? [08:11] ljuwaidah:Yes set to none [08:11] but it all went awry and I had to kill the process. Is it possible to reconfigure apt so that it thinks it still hasn't upgraded yet ? [08:11] m0u5e: thanks... weird, it doesn't show up in synaptic search, but does in apt search [08:11] ah ok [08:11] bob_: then it's not running [08:11] gaurdro: i'm using video driver 177 which i installed manually [08:11] unenough: not by default no [08:11] why does my "fi" look different? also "ff".

[08:11] m0u5e, thx [08:11] Is that possible ? [08:12] unerough: you can set it to ask you under system>admin>software sources [08:12] ljuwaidah:I'm sorry I dont understand [08:12] edlin: also have a look if any of these drivers suit http://www.qbik.ch/usb/devices/search_res.php?pattern=lite-on [08:12] Does anyone know how to set up a Linksys WRTG54GS Wireless-G card?

[08:13] Hi all, I need help with running an application at startup [08:13] m0u5e: it can't be basic if it's a seperate option right? I would assume that if you select... say LAMP server, it would require this basic stuff automatically? [08:13] MyHeadHurts: bbs just tried setup hd1 [08:13] schmoop: Live CD of Ubuntu right? Yeah... the networks werent detected [08:13] <`TonY> Groozer, system -> preferences -> session and add it there [08:13] bob_: give me a sec [08:13] It seems like the card is detected but its not finding the networks [08:13] kinection: sorry i'm not sure :( [08:13] tehboriz, try copying your xorg.conf to xorg.back and running dpkg -reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg [08:14] ljuwaidah:ok [08:14] m0u5e: oh, well thanks [08:14] woa gaurdro i don't know what that means [08:14] It's a desktop entry, which puts an icon in the tray, and when I just add it to the session manager it runs without the icon there. [08:14] schmoop: does your router use encryption? [08:14] does anyone know when they are going to fix this wireless WPA ask everytime you connect bug? [08:14] I tried copying the desktop entry itself to /home/myuser/.config/ [08:14] mib_e625nj2o, those aren't drivers [08:14] but that still ran without the icon. [08:14] sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.back makes a backup of your current config so you can get back to if things don't go well [08:15] <`TonY> Groozer, system -> preferences -> session and add it there [08:15] schmoop: I tried installing the .inf file with ndiswrapper, but that didnt work. No my router is pretty generic, Im on it now with another computer using the same version of Ubuntu [08:15] 8.1 btw [08:15] you need the sudo because as a normal user you don't have permissions to touch anything in /etc/ [08:15] `TonY: it doesn't help.

[08:21] _2: its not a filesystem. its a file system.. two different things [08:21] I tried setting to always visible and it still doesn't work [08:21] <`TonY> : I changed under sudo and without sudo [08:21] Flannel: OK... you like my whip? [08:21] <`TonY> : but still defaults are playing :/ [08:21] <_2> djhash view the link [08:21] !wine [08:21] WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine for more information, and see !AppDB for application compatibility. [08:21] <`TonY> : I used gksudo not sudo [08:22] anyone? [08:22] my issue is that it works but it doesn't work when I reboot [08:22] I have to remove it, add it back to the system [08:22] I'm using the dell mini's 8.04, I can't seem to use a dvd burner with it, connected via usb [08:22] Singer2 : I guess theres some settings in the BIOS for this [08:23] Necrosan: http://psubuntu.com/ [08:23] abe3k: can't be, in windows it works perfectly... but in Ubuntu 8.10 it doesn [08:23] _2: i did.. its not a filesystem... its just writing the 0s and 1s to the disk.. you dont need a filesystem to write 0s and 1s to a floppy disk.. you will not see it as a file on the disk.. [08:23] Singer2 : ok [08:24] anyone here use xvkbd? [08:24] <_2> djhash i can browse the disk with mc [08:24] Gnea: no updates [08:24] any Ideas why this is happening with me `TonY ? [08:24] abe3k: basically everytime I reboot I have to delete the device from the bluetooth applet, put it in pairing mode [08:24] and then pair it, and it works [08:24] I'm using the dell mini's 8.04, I can't seem to use a dvd burner with it, connected via usb [08:25] http://www.ihateyoujulia.com/?id=5bc1d1661d9c1173c82772dc7af22070 [08:25] Necrosan: oh, right, that's why the top article states otherwise. [08:25] Singer2 : sorry I don't know about bluetooth mouse , I had a wireless keyboard once and I changed something from the BIOS for it to work with ubuntu [08:25] <`TonY> abe3k, sorry ... [08:25] I'm using the dell mini's 8.04, I can't seem to use a dvd burner with it, connected via usb [08:26] <`TonY> : do you have 8.10 ? [08:26] <`TonY> : can you test it for me to see if its only me or is it a bug ? [08:26] <_2> djhash while mc doesn't support some of the more common functions it does support viewing and editing of files (doesn't save) copy files from (but not to) cd up and down the dirrectory tree.... what is the differance in that and a file system i would like to know.... and the limitations are in the mc program not in tar itself. [08:26] <`TonY> abe3k, i have, it works just fine [08:26] I'm tempted to go back to windows.. this is stupid if such a simple piece of hardware doesn't work under linux [08:26] <`TonY> abe3k, but i did a clean installation .... [08:27] <`TonY> : I guess my problem is in the upgrade somewhere [08:27] I'm using the dell mini's 8.04, I can't seem to use a dvd burner with it, connected via usb [08:27] <`TonY> : is there a package that I can reinstall for this sound properties ? [08:27] <`TonY> : maybe reinstalling it will fix it ? [08:27] Singer2, you should be yelling at your hardware vendor for making a product that is only friendly to windows. [08:27] _2: read the highlighted part... http://ubuntu.pastebin.us/12193 mc is capable of figuring out that a tar file was written to it without a filesystem [08:28] gaurdro: and it worked under 8.04, but the instructions don't work anymore [08:28] gaurdro: the commands it talks about doesn't exist and the files doesn't exist [08:28] <`TonY> abe3k, try dpkg -l | grep sound and paste it in paste.ubuntu.com === Bono is now known as Mecho18 [08:29] <_2> djhash but i don't have to use mc. tar can add and remove files even list and read them. that's all any filesystem does. the only thing missing is tar support in the kernel or it would mount. [08:29] _2: simply put.. its a virtual filesystem if you want to be technical about it.. but its different from filesystem [08:30] _2: ofcourse tar can do it.. tar doesnt care about filesystems.. it just reads whats there.. [08:30] <`TonY> : there you go http://pastebin.com/m1222efdc [08:30] how can i upgrade from 8.04 to 8.10 thru the command line? [08:30] !upgrade | KalEl [08:30] KalEl: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes [08:30] _2: you can dd if:/dev/fd0 of:~/tarfile.tar [08:30] gaurdro: that's what drives me crazy, it works un 8.04 but not 8.10 [08:31] its like, hey lets not test this :) [08:31] gaah not enough space on boot partition [08:31] through the command line [08:31] <_2> djhash what highlighted portion ?

[09:15] fallore_: "sudo apt-get install pastebinit" .. then you can "pastebinit " [09:15] _2 of course, but so far i've had really good luck [09:15] _2 and at least i know if pulseaudio is in charge of a particular sound producing app based on whether or not the applet registers the app. [09:15] hendrik, run "aptitude search wine" [09:16] I am using intrepid , bluetooth mouse does not come back automatic after system restart which hardy does. Do you have any solution or anybody faced same problem? [09:16] _2 the only thing missing from pulseaudio is the option to switch, or select, output channels, like in jack [09:16] Tulimaq: what this means -> v wine [09:16] djhash: where should i enter that sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart command? just a cmd line? [09:17] fallore_: yes [09:17] _2 on the fly [09:17] <_2> rdw200169 maybe they will merge some day. [09:17] _2 regardless, pulse audio takes over alsa in a strange way, such that in system -> preferences -> sound, it creates fake alsa mixers to select for default output [09:18] djhash: it restarted it and my screen flashed a couple times [09:18] _2 and it creates a fake esd, so esd apps still work right [09:18] fallore_: and still no graphics? [09:18] bazhang, doesn't have the info I needed [09:18] djhash: not to my knowledge. irssi is still up and the other windows are cmd lines [09:18] _2 so, for example, i tell pref -> sound that 'simultaneous output' is my mixer [09:18] fallore_: what about "ctrl+alt+F7" [09:19] _2: 'rec fish.ogg' fails: rec soxio: Failed reading `default': unknown file type `alsa' [09:19] _2 which ties to pulse audio's multiple stereo sound output [09:19] _2 and now exaile, banshee, etc... send sound to that output [09:19] EdLin, post to their forums then [09:19] djhash nope, doesnt work. [09:19] _2 and i can listen to music simultaneously on 2 sound cards at once [09:19] hello after updaing to 8.10 something seems to be using VT-x on my proecessor and i cant run vmware [09:19] _2: I have checked alsamixer and system audio control. But recording into gnome-sound-recorder is just not working. any ideas? [09:19] _2 and still adjust volume levels using alsamixer [09:19] <_2> Ohmu_ maybe rdw200169 can help with that. he's plaied with sound more than i have. [09:20] _2 that, and alsamixer registers the fake alsa devices, so i can adjust those too [09:20] djhash: that's still just a completely blank window except for what i've entered and a blinking underline. [09:20] x.org on my 8.10 seems to be giving me a black screen, can I try to relaunch it without rebooting the whole system? [09:20] where can i configure my wireless connection?

[09:21] pantsman: I usually restarts gdm [09:21] fallore_: ok.. back to F1.. try "nvidia-xconfig --query-gpu-info" [09:21] khelll: regardless, if you need more specific configuration capabilities you need to use the command line tools [09:21] rdw200169 where can i find the networkmanager [09:22] djhash: by f1 do you mean ctrl + alt + f1? or just any cmd line? [09:22] rdw200169, any ideas? I hit the record button in gnome-sound-recorder, speak a few seconds, stop it and play it back. the bar barely leaves the zeromark. the writing beneath it stays on 0:00. the statusbar says 'playing', and nothing comes out. It remains like this. [09:22] khelll: NetworkManager is installed by default if i'm not mistaken, it's the network icon the taskbar [09:22] fallore_: any command line.. usually most will go with ctrl+alt+f1 [09:22] Ohmu_: do you know how the microphone volume level is? [09:22] i don't c any icon on my bar :( [09:23] khelll: try this: apt + f2 -> NetworkManager [09:23] tulimaq: aptitude gave me answer-> v wine what that means ?

[10:20] ziroday: this is the current xorg.conf: http://paste.ubuntu.com/66142/ [10:20] <_2> Flannel and linux-restrict [10:20] <_sebastian1> after a plain install of xubuntu X wont start, so I did 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg' and restarted X [10:20] _2: try it without the backticks. Manually do dpkg -l '*myversion*' === keegan is now known as Guest93560 [10:20] <_2> Flannel yes i did. [10:21] _2: and what are you expecting to find that you're not?

[10:22] <_2> Flannel for removing unwanted kernel packages. what do i have to do specify each one by hand ? [10:22] paul68: Switch to a different mirror [10:22] _2: That'd be the safest way to do it. Its actually pretty quick and easy in synaptic [10:22] berinder: try changing the line Option "ZAxisMapping" "6 7" to Option "ZAxisMapping" "5 6" [10:22] Flannel: how do I do that? [10:23] _2: but, the kernel package format is: linux-image-[version]-generic [10:23] paul68: the quickest way is to edit your sources.list and change the be.archve.ubuntu.com to something else (a mirror you think will be faster) [10:23] !mirrors | paul68 [10:23] paul68: Ubuntu installation CDs can be downloaded from http://nl.releases.ubuntu.com - Mirrors can be found at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/Mirrors - PLEASE use the !torrents to download Hardy, and help keeping the servers' load low!

[10:24] <_2> yes [10:24] ziroday: ok, logging out... :) [10:24] _2: alright, then yes. It'll be -386 -686 -k7, etc. But, the previous command should work (I just did it, and in dapper at that). once again, pastebin your output. [10:25] I installed a clean install of 8.10.

[10:38] nokia_: other internet services [10:39] ericsome: many people in #kubuntu [10:39] there is no error, kopete says connecting and pidgin just gives that error of can not connect, and everything else is working [10:39] ikonia: No, not really.. the script i have runs fine.. there is another script somewhere that changes it again [10:39] what is the equivalent app for microsoft maths?

[11:29] larsivi: On laptops with Intel 3945 or Intel 4965 wireless chipsets and a killswitch for the wireless antenna, starting the system with the killswitch enabled (i.e., with wireless disabled) will prevent re-enabling the wireless by toggling the killswitch. As a workaround, users should boot the system with the killswitch disabled. A future kernel update is expected to address this issue.

When running ubuntu i386 (from live CD) on a machine with 4 GB of RAM I only see a total of 3.2 GB. When running the amd64 version all 4 GB are available. Is there any 32bit kernel in the ubuntu repos that could handle (nearly) all of the 4 GB RAM? [11:38] perlmonkey [11:38] does anyone know if there is a package for template-toolkit? [11:38] how are you. [11:38] hi Guest [11:38] vlt: nope [11:38] hi [11:38] I'm well thanks, just having breakfast...how are you today? [11:39] how do i turn off ipv6 in 8.10 for a network interface?

[11:43] vlt: flash works [11:43] alkhawarizmi, if you want debian proper and you are new to linux then take the stable version. if you want the newest stuff you can take either "testing" or "unstable" but be prepared to fix some issues. else you can take an easy debian derivate like ubuntu (not that it is much easier though...)

And what exactly didn't work properly? [11:47] For some reason, whenever I open something from the Places menu, mplayer pops up instead of nautilus. Any ideas? [11:47] luite: what is the command to switch which java you use? it's something about alternatives.

What does this command return: gconftool-2 -g /apps/nautilus/preferences/show_desktop [11:50] in gnome, you can use 'desktop drapes' to auto-change wallpapers, works with both compiz & metacity.

After i used that particular line of code, it worked fine [11:51] aleksey1989: How do you get to this chat from windows xp? [11:51] nautilus is not running, there was st strange with it tho, when i went to desktop under places it asked me for my password, has stopped doing that after reboot tho [11:51] Ascorbic_Acid: metacity is the window manager ubuntu uses if you disable effects.

You'll be asked to enter your passphrase during boot and it'll decrypt everything on demand then. But if you're looking for protection against thieves only, I suggest only encrpting your home partitition. There are very elegant solutions for it.

[13:03] filcon, and you think that this is because of parameters passed to the scripts? [13:03] dli_, alright. [13:03] gluonman_, cd /usr/src [13:03] jrib It is already enabled [13:03] Russian: what is? Don't use "it" [13:03] can i ptint in virtual box?

[13:09] i install it properly [13:09] ed [13:09] sken, also, if you've installed it and you don't see it in Applications -> System Tools, you can go to System -> Preferences -> Menu and uncheck it and recheck it to get it to appear in the correct spot in System Toos. [13:09] grrrrr i have never had so much problem just obtaining an upgrade [13:09] effects... [13:09] Anywhere I can read about why to upgrade to ibex? [13:09] Roey, it looks like you haven't installed any audio system: neither oss, nor alsa, nor pulseaudio. can you verify that at least alsa is installed on your system? [13:09] please, if somebody can, help [13:09] i was installed the ubuntu 8.10. on boot by cd and installation everything works, but in boot by hd a intramfs shows. dont initiate system. how can i fix this? [13:09] velko: hmm, ok, but snd-* is loaded as a module though [13:09] no, most certainly not [13:09] So, DOES anyone havea list for what restricted driver what types of nvidia cards people use? [13:09] anyone else have problems with compiz-settings-manager in ibex? [13:09] i.e. doesn't work.. [13:09] dli_, there is a folder named modules in /usr/src [13:09] gavagai: performance-wise it could help to place the swap at the beginning of your harddrive [13:09] velko: one moment, I'm running dpkg -l "*alsa*" [13:09] gluonman_, cd into it [13:10] hi just curious if someone could explain to me why firefox seems so much smoother in intrepid over hardy? seems like everything GUI is much smoother but i probably spend too much time in firefox [13:10] dli_, I did. And I found gspca and qc-usb in there. [13:10] djiezes, ok thanks. i will try to do that. but for the root partition, it doesn't matter where it is located? [13:10] Hey, all, isn't it possible to mount an iso file, or something...? [13:10] gluonman_, cd to qc-usb [13:10] dli_, alright. [13:10] gluonman_, sudo debian/rules binary [13:10] Anyone know where to put alsactrl restore in /etc/rc.* to restore the mixer settings on reboot in hardy [13:10] laku yes it is [13:10] gavagai: not really, but usually beginning of the drive spins faster. Try to separate system files & /home (data) from each other. [13:10] Hello, I'm having major problems with Ubuntu 8.10 -- probably USB related. Computer freezes with blinking keyboard lights. Some USB ports are 1.1 instead of 2. LiveCD does not boot (gives read error on non existent drive). Normal system boots and freezes randomly [13:10] ghluonman: it's not there either [13:11] velko: alsa is installed [13:11] !iso | laku [13:11] laku: 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.

Stop. [13:11] djiezes, thanks. i think for data i will just use my shrunken windows partition. unless that is a bad idea [13:11] oh ok... thanks both of you [13:11] velko: I see it alsa-base listed as 'ii' in a listing from dpkg -l [13:11] sken, well, then I'm guessing there was a problem with the installation. How did you install it? [13:11] Roey, can you produce sound using aplay? [13:11] gluonman_, sudo debian/rules binary-modules [13:12] oh i found it in accesories gluonman [13:12] gavagai: ntfs works fine under ubuntu, but you won't be able to use recycle bin, stuff gets deleted right away [13:12] asd sudo mount -o ~insertisohere /media/mounted_iso [13:12] !pulseaudio [13:12] PulseAudio is a sound server intended as a drop-in replacement for !ESD - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PulseAudio for information and installation instructions [13:12] Is there no Notepad++ in the synaptic package manager =/ [13:12] sken, alright. Good. [13:12] Russian, this is a windows only program [13:12] * Jaapz is back (gone 01:13:59) [13:12] velko: let me try aplay one moment... [13:12] Anywhere I can read about why to upgrade to ibex? [13:12] sken, I think it's strange that it's in Accessories, but oh well. At least it's somewhere. [13:12] Russian: use Accessories -> Text Editor [13:13] Hello. After upgrade to 8.10 I don't have sound from Flash videos (eg Youtube) nor Skype. Is there some issue with PulseAudio? [13:13] how can i install windows now? [13:13] !flash [13:13] 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 [13:13] !nosound [13:13] Sorry, I don't know anything about nosound [13:13] jrib: is that usuful, for programming?

Some USB ports are 1.1 instead of 2. LiveCD does not boot (gives read error on non existent drive). Normal system boots and freezes randomly [13:13] Russian: maybe Bluefish Editor? [13:13] sound's working for me after the upgrade [13:13] Hi. [13:13] Russion: use geany === MenZa is now known as MenZa_Aeris [13:14] velko: http://pastebin.com/m6cb219d1. I think that KDE is grabbing the sound context actually. Could it be? === MenZa_Aeris is now known as MenZa_Aries [13:14] It seems I'm not the only one with problems with 8.10... [13:14] Russian, use geany [13:14] TGAARRRR stupid file 304 oit dont wanna download [13:14] Russian: yep, checkout all the plugins it has. If you want a real editor, checkout vim (gvim). Learning curve is steep though. 'vimtutor' to learn [13:14] sklivvz: you need to find out more about ubuntu running on your computer hardware, google for your system and ubuntu / linux. [13:14] FiReSTaRT: Well, not for me.

[14:27] erm obviously [14:27] n8tuser: Ok, I'll try it. Thanks [14:28] How do i get network-admin in Intrepid Ibex? [14:28] platius: the gspca-source package doesn't seem to have anything about genius webcams.. think i should try it? [14:28] legend2440: thanks, thats exactly what it was. dont know why they would remove such a useful thing. [14:28] UserC; http://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/video4linux/gspca.txt [14:28] Anybody knows if theres a shortcut to switch to Ubuntu's second desktop? [14:28] <`TonY> runemaste644, system -> preferences -> network ...... [14:28] Its not there [14:28] let me ask this again [14:28] can anyone tell me why opeorifice 3.0 was not included on IBEX [14:28] X3: does your life depend on it? [14:28] Hi, i'm unpacking an archive containing help files for java. [14:28] and I would like to place them into usr/lib/jvm/docs but it seems to be out of my permission to create any folder there. how can I extract in that folder? [14:28] not important is it [14:28] X3: probably because it's not called openorifice, it's openoffice, worst troll ever [14:28] paul____, alt+ctrl+2 [14:28] `TonY: exactly.. and i have no problems editing fstab but im confused as to why supplying the option "users" in fstab or several toehr options wont allow me to moutnas a regular user.. this is one of the reasons for fstab is it not?? [14:29] <`TonY> Stef1, use sudo [14:29] I prefer abiword actually [14:29] velko: thanks [14:29] `TonY: other* [14:29] Stef1-> use sudo to untar it at the destination [14:29] ne1 tell me really quick how to change permissions on my external harddrive [14:29] prower: ok why is openoffice 3.0 not included in Ibex [14:29] King: chmod [14:29] platius: go! thankss [14:29] platius: ok* [14:29] King, what file system? [14:29] platius: lol [14:29] Good morning folks! Running 8.10 in Toshiba Satellite A200, it used to have 8.04.1 running flawlessly. Now with this fresh install along my old XP, I have come to big trouble: From time to time, the caps lock key starts blinking (is it kernel panic?) and nothing works but a physical reboot. Could it be due to overheating (I coulpdnt get lm-server to show me anything but the underneat gets pretty hot). Thanks for any help [14:29] X3: why should it be [14:30] velko: It doesnt seem to work [14:30] halflife 2 aint either [14:30] filesystem? still a noob [14:30] prower: obviously as no sense of humour [14:30] When i run sudo network-admin i get a command not found [14:30] ok, I was trying to use the gui, i'll open a cmd :) [14:30] <`TonY> ads_, the problem is not with the drivers in fstab, the problem is with mount ..... mount needs super user [14:30] hello [14:30] velko: Is it possible to configure the shortcut from somewhere? [14:30] King-> the command is chmod, man chmod to read up on it [14:30] I am considering downgrading to 8.04 if it continues :( [14:30] X3: oh i have a sense of humour, mine just progressed past the age of 12, that's all [14:30] velko: i must tell you I'm getting scared here :( [14:30] My mousewheel is scrolling vertically since upgrade to 8.10. In the logfile it says i'm mapping Yaxis to 4 and 5, that should be 6 and 7. But i don't set it in any file and still the log says it gets it from config-file? Is there any other file than xorg.conf that is considered a config-file for xorg? xorg.conf : http://paste.ubuntu.com/66244/ Xorg.0.log: http://paste.ubuntu.com/66246/ [14:30] Welshman: Because it was release ages before IBEX was [14:30] and [14:30] dennister, why? [14:31] King, try something like : chmod -R 755 /path/to/folder [14:31] just install it, or do you need help to do that [14:31] `TonY: aha ok i understand now.. and you recommended disk mounter? [14:31] prower: past the age of 12 what a mature answer [14:31] Can someone say to me another application better than like " Gnome Power Manager " ? Please [14:31] King, if it doesn't work, ask again [14:31] <`TonY> ads_, most user friendly mounter [14:31] anyone knows something about this compiling error ?‘struct usb_serial_port’ has no member named ‘tty’ [14:31] oh hi, I'm trying to install 8.10 (x64) on vista 64 under virtualbox, but not sure if enable i/o apic should be enabled [14:31] okay, so if VPN doesn't work ... How can I get a list of wireless networks? No, 'iwconfig' does not list them. [14:31] X3: and i suppose "openorifice" is more mature, is it? :> you're going to have to try harder than that troll, ignored [14:31] It defaults to my ISP's dns server which hasnt been updated in a decade [14:31] its a joke [14:31] `TonY: thanks ill try now.. [14:31] Mabo, usually I just open synaptic and do a search in name and description for let's say: power manager [14:31] even in vista I have to upgrade somethings sometimes [14:32] <`TonY> berinder, use sudo spkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg-input-mouse [14:32] can i adjust my cpu fan speed via the OS? [14:32] geez [14:32] berinder: , isnt scrolling mapped by ZAxisMapping? or am i mistaken? [14:32] velko, because user is coming over at 1 for pickup...a few hours from now, and if they're all winmodems... [14:32] Welshman, in vista the only thing i did was upgrading to xp ;) [14:32] Im not a troll sorry [14:32] K_Dallas: they don't work I am with a laptop toshiba a105-s4324 [14:32] vista works great for me [14:32] now says operation not supported by backend [14:32] dli_, It contains the gspca.tar.bz2, linux -> linux-headers-2.6.27-7-generic, linux-headers-2.6.27-7, linux-headers-2.6.27-7-generic, linux-OLDVERSION.1225630809 -> linux-headers-2.6.27-7-generic, modules, nvidia-173.14.12, qc-usb.tar.bz2, and vbox-2.0.4 -> ../share/virtualbox/src.

Welcome! [14:33] <`TonY> sorry [14:33] I asked a question all I get is backside remarks [14:33] anyone roughly how long the searching for obsolete software part takes on the ubuntu upgrade [14:33] `TonY: u mean dpkg-reconfigure i guess? Or am i mistaken? [14:33] now says operation not supported by backend [14:33] anyone know roughly* [14:33] when my installation is at 94% I get a fatal error that grub could not be installed to hd0. I already have an alternative to grub on my first partition. How do I stop grub from being installed? [14:33] <`TonY> berinder, sudo dpkg-reconfigure yes [14:34] How can i set my computer to always use only the dns servers 208.67.222.222 and 208.67.220.220 without using network admin [14:34] [14:34] why isn't the theme thing installed by default? [14:34] wh1t3_UB: Hmm, true. That still dosen't explain why it says i have it in a config-file... when i don't... :) [14:34] opendns ips? [14:34] Hi, for a while now at boot time my usplash progress bar goes away and I see logged boot messages instead. My GRUB config has always used "quiet splash". Is there something that might trigger this to be overridden? [14:34] mobyu: emerald you mean [14:34] dennister, sorry to hear that [14:34] paul____, http://www.novell.com/coolsolutions/tip/2289.html [14:34] berinder: X input devices are now configured through hal fdi files. The default ones are in /usr/share/hal/fdi/ . You can copy over the relevant file and make modifications in /etc/hal/fdi/ [14:34] <`TonY> I am just waiting to see how to handle my kernel panic and if I have to downgrade to 8.04.1 Any help is appreciated [14:34] `TonY: didnt work... [14:34] is there some context I am missing for "sudo apt-get clean" to make space in "/boot" [14:34] hello [14:34] yes opendns [14:34] when my installation is at 94% I get a fatal error that grub could not be installed to hd0. I already have an alternative to grub on my first partition. How do I stop grub from being installed? [14:34] runemaste644, one nasty tweak would be setting in /etc/resolv.conf and make the file immutable [14:35] well, seems that linux is for those who enjoy spending time constantly fixing and reconfguring things instead of getting any useful work done [14:35] goodbye [14:35] <`TonY> runemaste644, sudo vim /etc/resolv.conf and add nameserver 208.67.222.222 "new line" nameserver 208.67.220.220 and save and exit [14:35] gotcha [14:35] when my installation is at 94% I get a fatal error that grub could not be installed to hd0. I already have an alternative to grub on my first partition. How do I stop grub from being installed? [14:35] toehio_: well, if it fails, I think that it fails [14:35] velko: the mobo originally had an intel microcontroller modem with intel ac'97, one of those short brown slots, is that any good? [14:35] paul____, and yes - you can change the shortcuts. just don't ask me where exactly because i don't use gnome. maybe something like "preferences->keyboard shortcuts" [14:35] livecd_user: lol [14:35] toehio: if you install ubuntu with manual partitioning, you can choose wether to install grub or not, the option is under a button 'advanced configuration'. [14:35] toehio_: stop repeating please [14:35] sorry [14:35] `TonY: one more to clarify... i actually need to automatically mount on boot is disk mounter appropriate for this?? appears not [14:35] Im trying to use ubuntuforums.org but it gets kuzyn.netburg.pl [14:35] livecd_user linux is for those who want to learn [14:35] i dont want to install grub [14:35] prower: you can keep you opinions to yourself about my questions and just igonre me but dont be rude and offensive [14:35] not just push buttons [14:35] jrib: Ohh... Thats proably exactly the information i need! :) [14:35] i allready have an alternative to it [14:35] UserC; /quit [14:36] <`TonY> ads_, no , now you use fstab [14:36] dennister, years ago almost all internal modems were problematic [14:36] Welshman: Yes my life depends on testing the differences [14:36] X3 please stop that, can we not just get along? [14:36] danbhfive: can i install ubuntu with the live cd without installing grub? or do i have to use the alternate cd? [14:36] berinder: you can use xorg.conf if you want, but input devices there are ignored unless you add the right option (man xorg.conf, search for hal) [14:36] <`TonY> ads_, try adding rw,defaults [14:36] toehio: if you install ubuntu with manual partitioning, you can choose wether to install grub or not, the option is under a button 'advanced configuration'. [14:36] n8tuser: he's a troll, i wouldn't bother paying attention to him [14:36] X3: install it then [14:36] dennister, i don't know if something changed but i would guess not, because the world moved to isdn and after that dsl. i'm wondering that people still use analog modems... [14:36] i did the chmod and get operation not supported by backend [14:37] why isn't the theme thing installed by default? [14:37] toehio_: Im not sure. I do know the other person was correct. There is an unlabeled "advanced" button somewhere that has grub installation options [14:37] n8tuser: I have no beef I just ask a squestion next thing I know Im getting attacked called a troll and getting abuse [14:37] X3: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openoffice.org/+bug/267376 [14:37] mohbana: "theme thing"? [14:37] platius: what? [14:37] King you must be root or owner of such file or directory [14:37] anyone know roughly how long the "searching for obsolete software" part takes when upgrading to 8.10 from 8.04 [14:37] jrib, emerald [14:37] platius: why /quit? and it didn't help.. [14:37] `TonY: ok ill try that the problem arised when i was testing fstab with mount to see if regular user mount would work!! but obviously mount requires root doh! [14:37] X3: its a silly gripe though [14:37] thx legend2440 [14:37] danbhfive where do i find this "advanced"? [14:37] velko: well, some poorer or older users still use dialup here in toronto [14:37] `TonY: dont particualr want to reboot to test though!! [14:37] <`TonY> ads_, yes ... sure [14:37] Welshman: each to theire own eh [14:38] Q: Running 8.10 in Toshiba Satellite A200, it used to have 8.04.1 running flawlessly.

Could it be due to overheating (I coulpdnt get lm-server to show me anything but the underneat gets pretty hot). Thanks for any help [14:38] <`TonY> ads_, nop, use sudo mount -a [14:38] mohbana: probably because it's not needed for the default look chosen for ubuntu [14:38] X3 let it drop, you wont loss hair if you do :P [14:38] dennister, did you looked up the chip in some hardware support list? [14:38] here's what it says "You have no application able to open “xubuntu-8.10-desktop-i386.iso”. You can download it instead." what can i do? [14:38] <`TonY> ads_, mount -a, mounts the fstab [14:38] so how do i change the owner ship of this path so i don't have to go through this. I want to be able to do anyting and everything with this harddrive [14:38] hardcore, just download it?

Kernel panic. Some USB ports are 1.1 instead of 2. LiveCD does not boot (gives read error on non existent drive). Normal system boots but kernel panics. Everything was working on 8.04 [14:52] dekc-> thats the way to associate, you sure your AP is up or you want to user your neigbors? iwlist ath0 scan show whose got an AP for your access [14:52] surabaya [14:52] adi [14:52] bastid_raZor, i'm using nvidia settings. it works fine, but i need _two_ meta modes and no xinerama [14:52] jrib: May just be me but I had this feeling that 8.10 is harder to install than previous versions. [14:52] hello [14:53] bastid_raZor, with only one meta mode, it works, however, i cannot play some games that want to change the resolution to 1280x1024,NULL (single monitor) [14:53] how do i edit this line to grand all users full permission /dev/sdb1 /mnt/usb auto defaults 0 0 [14:53] jrib-> i agree with you, some people who succedded do also exclaim its great, so i suggest he kind of monitor so he gets a feel..a sampling if you may say [14:53] King: what filesystem? [14:53] n8tuser: sure [14:53] <`TonY> xukun, are you on 8.10 ?

[14:54] `TonY, yes [14:54] dekc-> so keep trying til it associates [14:54] Hello, I'm having major problems with Ubuntu 8.10 -- probably USB related. Kernel panic. Some USB ports are 1.1 instead of 2. LiveCD does not boot (gives read error on non existent drive). Normal system boots but kernel panics. Everything was working on 8.04 [14:54] how can I repartition my hard drive without losing any information? [14:54] adaran; in nvidia-settings you can add meta-modes.. [14:54] kitply: thanks! [14:54] King: please use this channel. By filesystem I mean, is it ext3, ntfs, vfat, or something else? [14:54] is there an easy automatic updates utility in ubuntu [14:54] bastid_raZor, yes, that's where i added the second one... [14:54] anyone know roughly how long the "searching for obsolete software" part takes when upgrading to 8.10 from 8.04? Its been going on for about 20 minutes now [14:54] automatic backup I mean [14:54] vfat [14:54] dustrial-> is your bios set correctly to match what grub expects ? [14:55] bastid_raZor, it's mode 1, 2, is the single-screen mode. GDM works fine and comes up with whichever mode i have as the first mode [14:55] !vfat > King [14:55] King, please see my private message [14:55] Finally I got the VPN connection working by installing some random VPN related packages (no idea which ones was actually necessary to make it work ...). Now I can connect, but only if I type in the password manually. If I ask the system to remember the password, it gives me some strange error message about "no valid secrets" when I try to connect. (No I didn't mistype the password ...... [14:55] ...tried it several times). [14:55] Can you safely remove Evolution from Ubuntu 8.10? (with synaptic)? [14:55] bastid_raZor, once i log in to gnome, however, it's always 1280x1024, NULL [14:55] King: that wiki page has a table with the options to add for vfat [14:55] n8tuser, on my router dhcp is deactivated and it doesn't work pretty well [14:55] adaran; for my 1st metamode i have the first mode including both monitors [14:55] notyjoey: it can take some time, just be patient :) === Jguy2 is now known as Jguy [14:55] n8tuser, the strange fact is the neither ethernet works [14:55] adaran; did you run nvidia-settings with sudo? [14:55] bastid_raZor, do you have more then one meta mode? does one include a single monitor? [14:55] n8tuser: well you got a link to understand how bios interacts with grub? [14:55] musictoto: i dont know if i can be! want to reboot the computer! [14:55] I have problem with apache2 on ubuntu [14:55] anyone know what the replacement for .Xmodmap is, in Intrepid? [14:55] dekc then you will not get a good ip address, without it, your box is a deadweight..:P [14:55] bastid_raZor, yes and i saved it to my xorg.conf [14:55] k guys formatted the drive last night to vfat there are no partions on it but the one [14:55] over half the time when i invoke "fusion-icon" to start compiz, kde crashes so hard that i have to reboot i need help! [14:55] n8tuser: I'm on vacations 4 hours from home, but luckily I just appened to have my ubuntu ISO that I could burn [14:55] my grub is destroyed; it boots to the grub prompt but cant find anything on my drive [14:55] any ideas? [14:56] just wanted a format compatible with windows [14:56] teratorn: hmm... what do you mean? [14:56] n8tuser: so luckily I'll be able to go back to 8.04 today [14:56] When I try to access website on apache2 it gives me an forbiddern error [14:56] jrib: I mean how do I remap keyboard scan codes? [14:56] DrthTater-> way to have a vacation.. hehe [14:56] n8tuser: thanks for all your help :) [14:56] n8tuser, what does that mean, sorry can understand very well english [14:56] W8TAH: there's an option to start fusion-icon without restarting the window manager, check the man page or google (option might be -n) [14:56] n8tuser: yeah [14:56] !grub > mib_vw0060 [14:56] teratorn: xmodmap still works for me [14:56] mib_vw0060, please see my private message [14:56] n8tuser, what does that mean, sorry can't* understand very well english [14:56] djiezes, thank you [14:56] n8tuser: luckily I'm the only one up right now.

[14:58] musictoto: yeah dude, its taking forever on two different computers [14:58] teratorn: that's not how I read the release notes. It says you may need to convert them [14:58] n8tuser, you mean the gateway address i got it [14:58] musictoto: p4 3.2ghz laptop and a dual core dell laptop [14:58] notyjoey: just wait :) [14:58] whats the point of this?

[15:14] kitply-> if you were my girlfriend, i would not even know..hehe [15:14] n8tuser, i'm not sure that there is dhcp [15:14] Morning. I am using XUbuntu 7.10 and would like to get the newest GIMP and Inkscape without having to upgrade my whole system. The reason I do not want to upgrade is simple: The wiresless stops working when I upgrade or install a new fresh version above 7.10. Is there a way to get the new versions of these programs? I have tried building from source but run into a ton of dependency issues. [15:14] ValentineXX: use opera mate [15:14] velko, well and what does generic_all_ide=1 do? [15:14] Welshman: i want google chrome [15:14] ff will be dead once google stop funding it [15:14] dustrial, no idea [15:14] dekc-> get a good working AP/router [15:15] !offtopic | Welshman [15:15] Welshman: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [15:15] <`TonY> waseem, http://blog.mypapit.net/2006/02/how-to-use-apt-get-behind-proxy-server-ubuntudebian.html [15:15] velko thx anyway :) [15:15] ValentineXX: me too nut that maybe be not a good thing [15:15] Thanks TonY [15:15] I've got a question concerning what I perceive to be a permissions problem... My add/remove programs entry and software sources entries have disappeared from my gnome menus. I've tried to change what group my uid is in but to no avail and now I'm wondering what I should do to bring those entries back. [15:15] Appears it is 3.2 [15:15] <`TonY> jelg, most welcome [15:15] how to get google chrome in ubuntu [15:15] bazhang: I answered a question [15:15] n8tuser, yeah sure.... [15:15] <`TonY> ValentineXX, try with wine [15:15] I created a partition (logical) after I installed Ubuntu (in the logical partition) 8.10. Now the grub throws error 17. On re-installing grub using grub-install command, it fails popping "Could not find device for /boot" [15:15] if I try to edit the menus and add the software sources entry, it just unchecks itself [15:15] n8tuser, could be this DHCP Server Configuration [15:15] n8tuser, could be this DHCP Server Configuration [15:15] How do I restore grub back to normal [15:15] using the LIVE CD [15:15] dekc-> yes its very possible, [15:16] `TonY: once i tried with wine at 8.04 that was not working fine. [15:16] whhat up [15:16] n8tuser, the router it's a draytek vigor2700 Ge [15:16] n8tuser, i heard it was one of the best, [15:16] `TonY: and i am new at ubuntu i dont know much how to compile zip files etc [15:16] ValentineXX, why not wait till its out for linux? [15:16] <`TonY> ValentineXX, you have to wait as they say -> Google Chrome for Linux is in development and a team of engineers is working hard to bring it to you as soon as possible. [15:16] dekc-> if you indeed assign a static ip address, you have to take care of the route table [15:16] teratorn: from glancing through the comments, you may be able to use xev to see if you have new keycodes being generated by the keys you want to may and then update your xorg.conf. There's also a hack there to make the keyboard not use evdev, that should work too [15:17] ValentineXX, u tried opera? seem chrome got alot of features like opera that i find owns [15:17] TitoN-: yes i am waiting :) [15:17] kitply: You need to install grub via chroot, I guess. [15:17] google chrome sucks anyway [15:17] they lie [15:17] MnemonicPunk: any URL? [15:17] hey people. How do I reset the look and feel of my desktop to the default as if Ubuntu has just been installed form scratch? Everything from the desktop-background, window borders, colours, icons, etc [15:17] i say use opera its fast [15:17] n8tuser, well thx anyway bie [15:17] SmokeyD: systemappearance [15:17] TitoN-: how to install opera at ubuntu and there are some problems sites dont work well with opera like facebook [15:18] notice how it updates on the fly and also how bookmarks do not load if your connected to the net [15:18] or delete config directories :) [15:18] hi, is there a known problem with nvidia-96-kernel-source on Intrepid ? [15:18] Hello, I just upgraded to Intrepid from Hardy. Now my system boots to a command prompt instead of gui. Can anyone help? [15:18] SmokeyD, rename or delete .gnome .gnome2 .config folders in your home folder [15:18] your not I mean [15:18] kitply: Only german URLs, sadly. I'll try to find an english one. [15:18] jezuz 1500 people in this room [15:18] which means they know your books marks [15:18] velko: doesn't that delete a lot more settings and data? [15:18] MnemonicPunk: thanks. [15:18] ValentineXX, facebook works just great with opera [15:18] opera is cool [15:18] TitoN-: s/xorg.conf/.Xmodmap [15:19] http://www.opera.com/download/ [15:19] SmokeyD, setttings - yes. what do you mean by data? [15:19] hooray for ibex runnin Teamspeak properly [15:19] if they go opensource it will fk it$ [15:19] teratorn: s/xorg.conf/.Xmodmap [15:19] TitoN-: how to how to how to get operaaaaaaaaaa at my ubuntu [15:19] djiezes, worked - at least so far [15:19] :) [15:19] thank you [15:19] W8TAH: here to help ;) [15:19] SmokeyD, if you want to play safe just rename them. don't delete them [15:19] ValentineXX: just get the deb pkg at the site [15:19] ValentineXX, there is an ubuntu package [15:19] ok upgrade from 8.04 to 8.10 didn't go as planned. the screen is blank during boot, so i have to enter LUKS passphrase blind. but the more serious problem is BadName (named color or font does not exist) i keep getting for almost all apps [15:19] bbl [15:19] for example gnome-sound-properties [15:19] #ubuntu.it [15:19] velko: whatever is saved by gnome. I know that for instance kde stores data from a lot of kde programs (korganizer, kontact, kmail) in .kde/share/apps [15:19] I'm looking for help installing Ubuntu into a Boot Camp partion on a mac, anyone know how? [15:20] <`TonY> TitoN-, try sudo apt-get install gnome-reset, and use it [15:20] anyone know how I can get my software sources and add/remove entries back on my gnome menus? I tried checking the software sources entry in the menu editor but it just unchecks itself within a second or two [15:20] Welshman: TitoN- oh ok. are you both brothers? === rodserling is now known as [x]rodserling [15:20] kitply: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-942081.html This thread has the solution to your problem, I guess. [15:20] linux opensouce with proprietry apps is the way to go [15:20] erUSUL: there is no way there to reset everything to the defaults. You can set the colors and stuff, but when I set the theme to Human, a lot is not changed (desktop background for instance) [15:21] MnemonicPunk: how did it go yesterday? [15:21] kitply: 4th post is what you're looking for. [15:21] is it possible to force gdm to see multiple monitors, rather than using Metamode to combine them all? [15:21] erUSUL: when i set the theme to Human, my desktop looks in no way like the screenshots I see from Intrepid (which look great!) [15:21] plus propriety apps funding the open source part [15:21] SmokeyD: well it should pop up a window saying something like "This theme suggest a background...blblblb..do you want to use it..." [15:21] Smokey, Darkroom [15:21] ay^: Got it installed. Something on my HD was fucked up but Ubuntu wasn't prepared to handle it, it seems. xD [15:21] ok i have 7 gig of pictures (mostly jpeg) 21gigs of videos ( mostly .flv .mkv .avi) and around 7 gigs of already compressed files and 4 gigs of other media inclusing mp3's and text files. so what compression do u recommend and is it possible to fit all that in 34 gigs using compression ? [15:21] :P [15:22] lol [15:22] MnemonicPunk: okay sp it was at least hardware-related :) [15:22] SmokeyD, try gnome art and gnome look tons of thems there [15:22] erUSUL: it doesn't [15:22] well welshman? [15:22]  !gmplayer [15:22] SmokeyD, just google it [15:22] so what to do about: The error was 'BadName (named color or font does not exist)' ? [15:22] system is kind of unusable because of it [15:22] ay^: But after fscking any available disks install went well except it failed to install grub automatically. Did that manually and now I got it running. [15:22] x-X-x, maybe it wont work with any compression since these files are already compressed [15:22] is gmplayer dead in intrepid ? [15:22] only way forward for Linux [15:22] MnemonicPunk: ah, great to hear it solved at least [15:22] velko only 7 gigs are already compressed [15:23] plus a lot of donations to poverty etc [15:23] its the future [15:23] Hi, can someone tell me, how to update blender in ubuntu studio? [15:23] Ibex is great btw [15:23] velko i could always take out the already compressed and compress the rest [15:23] no it isn't [15:23] I have a brand new pc and all is perfecto [15:23] x-X-x, jpeg is compressed format, flv also; no idea what codecs the mkv and avi files use, but most probably they are also compressed [15:23] I was hoping ibex wont be orange by default :( [15:23] but is it possible to fit it all in a 34gig drive? [15:24] hey, whats that program called where you can send an exe to a friend where it will initiate a vnc connection?

[15:24] Welshman, please take chat elsewhere [15:24] Tatster: uninstall compiz [15:24] x-X-x, you can try. but don't expect wonders. you cannot get more and more compressed sutff up to the "great" bit from which you can restore your archive trough decompression... :-P [15:24] any ideas [15:24] profanephobia→ you put the CD in the CD-ROM drive. a dialog will pop up [15:25] ryan\n: no, im thinking of one where all the user has to do is double click on an executable and it will initiate the connectipn [15:25] kke: Is there a way I can break-down to a terminal so I can uninstall compiz ?

[16:00] Crewsr3 you will have to adapt that a bit, but not much to work with Ubuntu [16:00] dennister, ok. my impression was that i had to run wvdialconf and after that just input the provider data. but maybe i'm mistaken [16:00] fzfh:you have got no interface showed [16:00] sb118_: in terminal type sudo apt-get install cupsys [16:01] zebulon: no. it's ok [16:01] help.

[17:05] i want to up xp on one of my hdd and ubuntu is on the my first hdd [17:05] im trying to connect a freshly installed ubuntu linux v8.04 to my router but it wont work. ive tried installig ndiswrepper but it still doesnt work [17:05] n8tuser, you manage to find what driver this thing uses? [17:06] n8tuser: I've looked everywhere in the lib/modules/ directory, and its found in the dir of another kernel version, not the one I'm running it from. [17:06] if i just got install on other hdd will the install of xp wipe grub boot record? [17:06] GodfatherofEire-> nope, some says rt8180 [17:06] n8tuser: http://pastie.org/305913.txt [17:06] I had a feeling [17:06] GodfatherofEire-> perhaps read a tutorial on ndiswrapper ? [17:06] hi...can anyone help me with a query? i just submitted an idea on brainstorm.ubuntu.com but was wondering if i have to resubmit it on devel.ideatorrent.org [17:06] vexeu: Are you using multiple HDDs or just multiple partitions on ine disk? [17:06] is it possible to connect to secure webdav servers in ubuntu? [17:06] kitche: my problem is this: under Windows (Vista/XP) and Hardy, my bluetooth mouse works on reboot - in Ibex I hae to turn it off/on [17:06] multi hdd [17:07] n8tuser Well, as long as this thing refuses to acknowledge the network manager, I cant connect. [17:07] Guest57259-> try and load it via insmod and see if it would take it, be ready to reboot if it fails === mini-man_ is now known as mini-man [17:07] vexeu: Should be no problem, Windows usually installs its bootloader on the MBR of the disk you put it on. [17:07] King: with vfat? [17:07] also i have to stop xfs to make anything work [17:07] GodfatherofEire-> it does not dependent on network manager [17:07] otherwise i get BadName (named font or color not foudn) or something like that [17:07] vexeu: unplug the ubuntu hdd and install xp, then add it to grub after [17:08] roak1974, and the best solution would be to put these modules in the file /etc/modules so they will be loaded when you boot your computer. for this to work they have to be in a special folder recognized by your kernel (you have to be able to execute the modprobe command without switching directory) [17:08] In order to configure it it does. [17:08] vexeu: Even if it does f*ck up your Boot Manager (Grub) you can reinstall that from a LiveCD easily. So make sure you have a LiveCD handy for the worst case. [17:08] someone handeled ACPI in a ABIT IP35 ???????? [17:08] I need to repair a failed upgrade [17:08] n8tuser: insmod the .ko file from the other kernel version directory?

I might be able to nudge them closer to there answer. Also, to see how 8.10 is appealing to the masses. But each issue, this channel gets more people less willing to help themselves.

[18:17] musickgoat: do they have to be jpg files? [18:17] great. nautilus wont start [18:17] vazdyk, ah, you need an application called aptoncd [18:17] anyone got any suggestions on how I can login?

If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [18:19] n8tuser: thanks [18:19] usser, i figured it's a problem with skype since they make the packages for their propriety and closed binaries [18:20] usser: [18:20] i just wanted to confirm that. thanks [18:20] see my question [18:20] Hello, is there a log file of sorts that I can look at to see what errors I'm getting on boot? The verbose portion of booting my system generally consists of one or more "Can't Load this", "That cannot enumurate" etc.. I would like to see what these errors are if possible. [18:20] kitche: what is the package name? [18:20] sawyer_: well you didn't look at skype page considering linux only has 2 out not 3 [18:20] xomp, /var/log/messages [18:20] and dmesg [18:20] kdiggy: xorgconfig [18:20] sawyer_: Hi [18:20] sawyer_, danke [18:20] kitche, alright, sorry [18:20] edajai, hello [18:20] !anyone | GodfatherofEire [18:21] kitche: can't find the package. [18:21] GodfatherofEire: 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? [18:21] join #ubuntu-rus [18:21] I'm having trouble with the "3d cube" on ubuntu. I only see 2 visualization panes, not 4.

[18:21] Any java dev in here? === Lelouch_Lamperou is now known as Lelouch [18:21] winrid: you can ask in #apache2 [18:21] djhash, I was asking because the last person I was talking to disconnected, and this is a busy room [18:22] i have 2 hard drives. what is the path for the hard drive that the OS is on? [18:22] winrid: or #apache rather [18:22] Winrid, well, after my upgrade to 8.10 my wireless connection to my network stopped working, n8tuser managed to help me get it running for a while, but then when I booted up the next time, the wireless was no longer working. [18:22] jjdiamond, depends how many hard drives, what type and where you installed the OS [18:22] mib_2imwpy: umm type your password and username as you typed it since it's case-sensitve [18:22] can I change the shells of root to something else or will that cause trouble? [18:22] kdiggy: hmm [18:22] my problem is this: under Windows (Vista/XP) and Hardy, my bluetooth mouse works on reboot - in Ibex I have to login, then turn my mouse off/on - can anyone help me avoid that step? [18:22] sawyer_: the storage drive is in /mnt [18:23] hardwired: like from dash to bash? [18:23] thanks musikgoat but i found it. its looking or /NCAA/SITEBUILDER, but the files are in the same directory my mistake [18:23] kitche: its all lowercase, i cant even type in the username without it causing a problem [18:23] GodfatherofEire: people dont usually respond to "is anyone" questions, you said it.. ita a busy room.. just tell about ur problem and anyone who knows how to help you will respond.. [18:23] jjdiamond, try: df -l /mnt [18:23] musikgoat: yeah, from bash to zsh [18:23] winrid: ahh [18:23] kitche: hmmm indeed. [18:23] hardwired: should be fine [18:23] kitche: i could login up until yesterday without any problem [18:23] sawyer_: i don't know the path for the drive where the OS is on [18:23] where does Ubuntu store the config files that pass arguments onto daemons? [18:23] GodfatherofEire-> you did not kept good notes, you should have copied contents of /etc/network/interfaces when it worked, and /etc/resolv.conf and route -n results === Biolunar_ is now known as Biolunar [18:23] mib_2imwpy, can you please verify *now* (as opposed to yesterday) if your keyboard produces all the symbols as you expect them? if this is the case and you still cannot login i'll help you to reset your password using the live cd [18:23] kitche: sudo apt-get install xorgconfig right???? [18:23] GodfatherofEire: im nt sure whats wrong, but you could try to check system >> admin >> network and see if you card is detected [18:23] musikgoat: good. bash and zsh are on the same partition as well. thanks. [18:23] bonjour [18:23] jjdiamond, the path for the drive? oh you mean C:? it doesn't exist [18:24] GodfatherofEire: im leaving ow [18:24] velko: i can type in the login box and see it appear as it should [18:24] Phrozen_One-> which daemon ? [18:24] kdiggy: looks like they don't even provide it [18:24] Winrid, well, after my upgrade to 8.10 my wireless connection to my network stopped working, n8tuser managed to help me get it running for a while, but then when I booted up the next time, the wireless was no longer working. [18:24] kdiggy: hmm well I m out of ideas myself [18:24] kitche: sad day... [18:24] mib_2imwpy, ok. this was not evident from the answer you gave me before [18:24] n8tuser: i booted with live-dvd of hardy and network worked there. /etc/network/interfaces was just the same. on 8.04 network works fine, on 8.10 nothing. even the leds arent blinking. [18:24] error: no suitable flex found. Please install the 'flex' package., i have this error what is the flex package and how i find it in apt? [18:24] sawyer_: i guess it's on / [18:25] jjdiamond, that's the root, it's always where the OS is installed [18:25] kitche: I guess I just wasn't meant to enjoy the awesomeness of 8.10 [18:25] mib_2imwpy, do you have physical access to the box and a live cd? [18:25] however, you can select to have portions of it residing elsewhere [18:25] velko: its not a password problem. When i hit enter after entering my username, it says wrong case [18:25] velko: i dont even get to the password part [18:25] jjdiamond, you can have /var (installed programs) in a different partition or a completely different harddrive, if you want [18:25] sawyer_: i'm trying to find out how much space on the main drive is in use [18:25] df -hl [18:26] velko: what is the user name ur using.. [18:26] mib_2imwpy, you persuaded me. i won't help you. sorry [18:26] trying to install 8.04 over 8.10 messed up two partitions. The first one a reiserjfs intended to reformat, the other a jfs I did not, but the install of 8.04 wouldn't go complaining about previous os files it couldn't delete.....now that whole experience is just plain nasty [18:26] jjdiamond, that shows the size usage for it [18:26] sawyer_, strange, I'm not finding any of the errors I seen during verbose booting in this /var/log/messages :( [18:26] kke-> you had a hard time pasting the results earlier, are you sure you the configs are the same? copy and paste so you can use it as reference [18:26] djhash, maybe the question was not for me. try mib_2imwpy [18:26] xomp, did you check `dmesg` [18:26] kke quick glance is not adequate to compare [18:26] xomp, just run "dmesg" [18:26] sawyer_, ok I'll do that now [18:26] kdiggy: well 8.10 has some bugs usually a release does that's why some people wait a few weeks before updating [18:26] velko: hehe.. yeah.. [18:27] kitche: well I guess I'll go back to 8.04 thanks for the help man. I appreciate it. Keep on keeping on. [18:27] sawyer_: when i right click in / folder and select properties, it says contents 55GB free space 24GB. the main drive is 32GB. is it reading ALL the cointents of both drives? [18:27] mib_2imwpy: are you using a weird username? like for example "root" or something that has "!@#$%" [18:27] Hi, for some reason when I try to change my open office Icons (by going to Tools > Options > View and selecting another Icon set) nothing changes. How do I fix that? [18:27] Hey guys, anyone to tell me why SuperTux 2 is not starting? even not after reinstall? [18:27] hi [18:27] how would i fix a locale issue that is unset on ubuntu-server (hardy)? [18:27] Is there any way at all to solve this BLOODY wireless problem without having to downgrade to 8.4 again? [18:27] djhash - the username is simply "bryan" [18:27] djhash - this worked for several weeks up until yesterday [18:28] mib_2imwpy: "ctrl+alt+f1" then try logging in as bryan [18:28] no J name in the topic? [18:28] hey is madwifi server down today [18:28] anybody installed xfce-4.6 yet? [18:28] has anyone experienced their man pages being corrupt after installation of ubuntu 8.10? I have updated and tried to reinstall the manpages (man-db and manpages), but on cigar. Any thoughts, ideas? [18:28] djhash - tried that and it says login invalid [18:28] roe_: what do you mean by J name? [18:28] GodfatherofEire-> look for the log of this channel, i taught you how to check and configure your wifi, maybe you can take notes from that [18:28] Hi, how do I make the amsn taskbar area blink on new messages? It works using compiz but not metacity... [18:28] hey guys. is there a chance to move a free space from after a partition to in front of a partition with gparted but WITHOUT cheking the filesystem? my filesystem is crypted and i get an error... [18:28] kitche, it seems that #ubuntu+1 forwards to #ubuntu [18:28] That was no cigar... [18:28] sawyer_: how do i check the storage disc space? [18:28] Hi, I'm curious if there's a way I can get the thumb button on my 4 button mouse working. [18:28] kitche, I was looking for the name of the next release [18:29] n8tuser, I've done what you've told me to do and it still is not working [18:29] n8tuser: ok thanks anyway. i don't believe you can help. [18:29] roe_: #ubuntu+1 is closed.. [18:29] roe_: yes sicne #ubuntu+1 is closed right now since Intrepid was just released and won't know the next release name untila few months [18:29] :) [18:29] sawyer_, can't seem to locate them in dmesg either, although this thing and /var/log/messages are a WALL OF TEXT lol [18:29] oh when was the intrepid released??

[19:30] It stopped working after a restart [19:31] Saiki: what are you compiling? what language, compiler, and the error? [19:31] guys at #Wine told me to turn off the firewall === Riffage- is now known as Riffage [19:31] Rkrr gksu-run-helper network-admin [19:31] but here you say there is no firewall in ubuntu [19:31] lianimator: a driver for zd1211rw, c, gcc, no idea atm, there's several and I'm not on xubuntu right now [19:31] anyone know how to get accelerometer values from a hard disk? [19:31] adi_: yes, but do you have a router? [19:32] adi_-> there is iptables, you proly dont have rulez === Bud is now known as Guest98170 [19:32] yes Dlink [19:32] adi_: that that is your firewall [19:32] adi_: could you find out what port you want to use. [19:32] adi_: you probably should install a firewall and configure it. [19:32] lianimator: if they store errors somewhere I can get them from my linux recovery tool [19:32] adi_: firestarter should do it. [19:32] adi_: you need to learn to configure the correct ports in that to make the software work, visit www.portforward.com for more info [19:33] Could I get some help with my sound setup here? [19:33] When I attempt to watch a movie in any format with either totem or vlc the program exits. terminal shows they are receiving a X window system error. I do have extra effects in compiz enabled http://paste.ubuntu.com/66390/ [19:33] so right now I dont have a firewall? [19:33] !tab === MTeck is now known as MTecknology [19:33] You can use for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line.

[19:33] GodfatherofEire-> try to google first okay? [19:33] adi_: just your router's [19:33] Alright [19:33] What's the simplest way to get a linux machine up and running after, say a HD goes, like with Mac OS X and Time Machine? I'm talking full-system recovery. Bacula can accomplish the said task but not very easily. [19:33] after installing firestarter what should I do? [19:33] adi_: as was explained, your ubuntu firewall (iptables) is configured to be open [19:34] !sound | GodfatherofEire [19:34] GodfatherofEire: If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 [19:34] linux_dude: probably wine, but I can't confirm it [19:34] linux_dude: check winehq.org [19:34] My friend is trying to make a dial-up connection in Ubuntu and is getting "cannot open modem", anyone know what the problem could be? [19:34] compiz fusion : is there a possibilty to assign a keyboard shortcut for increase and decrease an opacity window (like ctrl + alt + - (or) +) instead of wheel mouse ? [19:34] saiki thank you for the response i'll check it over there. do you have any other suggestions? [19:34] ok thanks [19:34] linux_dude: nope [19:34] Hello. My LCD monitor's native rez is 1440x900 @ 60hz. When I was using Windows, this is how it was set up. Now in Ubuntu, my refresh rate is at 50hz. Is this too low? Could I damage my monitor? There is no option to select 60hz. [19:34] my problem is this: under Windows (Vista/XP) and Hardy, my bluetooth mouse works on reboot - in Ibex I have to login, then turn my mouse off/on - can anyone help me avoid that step? [19:34] hello... I'm on a laptop, and I get middle click emulation on my USB mouse, but my xorg.conf does not have an inputdevice section for any mouse [19:34] i'm on 8.10 [19:34] ThePandemic82: don't worry about it. :) [19:34] does anyone have any other suggestions to my question? hi. i want to know if there is a product compatibility for Quickbooks premier -accountant edition for Ubuntu. can anyone verify if this can be done using wine or crossover office [19:34] ok, thanks [19:35] it is extremely annoying, I have no use of this === MTeck is now known as MTecknology [19:35] thanks lianimator [19:35] ThePandemic82: my 1600x1200 is set way lower on xubuntu also, seems to be driver errors, but it's not uncommon [19:35] k [19:35] Thanks Flannel & n8tuser (for reminding me to use google), just that ALSA wouldnt shut down when restarting, and I had to force a shutdown [19:35] ibex is out? [19:35] is that correct, that .Xresources file I've just created in my home folder will be automatically applied on the next login? [19:35] Saiki: yes on the 30th [19:36] I'm still on hardy lol [19:36] linux_dude: I know it is compatible with Crossover, it is probably compatible with Wine to, there are probably also alternatives to Quickbooks that can import Quickbook files. [19:36] alot of people are [19:36] don't have the time to upgrade right now though [19:36] Well, I have another question. Does ubuntu support external hard drives that use raid? I plan on buying a western digital hdd in about a month. its 1TB [19:36] MrBougo: So you do not want middle click emulation? (both buttons pressed)? [19:36] ThePandemic82: yes [19:36] When I attempt to watch a movie in any format with either totem or vlc the program exits. terminal shows they are receiving a X window system error. I do have extra effects in compiz enabled http://paste.ubuntu.com/66390/ [19:36] lianimator, exactly [19:36] ok, thanks [19:36] yw [19:36] ThePandemic82: I'm using a 320gb right now, it works fine [19:37] <[TiZ]> I'm having a bit of a problem with pulse. If my master volume is below 50%, then I can't hear any sound. The volume through pulseaudio is like (master - 50%). [19:37] so raid IS supported in ubuntu 8.10? [19:37] lianimator, though I see no "Emulate3Buttons" in my xorg.conf [19:37] nor any mouse configuration [19:37] ThePandemic82: in 8.04 as well, afiak [19:37] ThePandemic82: raid is supported in all supported versions of ubuntu [19:37] afaik* [19:37] ah ok [19:37] i didnt know [19:37] thanks guys [19:37] I'm getting a grub error 21, which I think means no hard disk. /grub/menu.lst refers to (hd0,2), which is correct - 3rd part'n of sda. Both vmlinuz and initrd.img exist in /boot. What else should I look for? [19:38] lianimator: if they store errors somewhere I can get them from my linux recovery tool [19:38] Saiki: I don't know where that is. [19:38] hi at ubuntu my movies does not work correctly at firefox browser or in totem player [19:38] MrBougo: could you pastebin your xorg.conf? [19:38] ThePandemic82: there are two versions of raid, software and hardware, your WD device is likely using a hardware raid controller, which is transparent to the operating system, it makes the disks look like 1 disk [19:38] lianimator: k. oh.. one was something about zdmac.c (just remembered) [19:38] sure lianimator [19:38] techqbert: i use partimage. its like drivecopy or ghost in that it backsup whole partition [19:38] right,,,thats what i meant..its using hw raid [19:39] http://pastebin.com/d2767ca6b [19:39] eh, the lineskips... sorry about this [19:39] knoppix_, you may try to find help in #grub [19:39] ThePandemic82: yup, and that works perfectly with ubuntu (all versions) [19:39] ok, thanks dude [19:39] np [19:39] heh [19:39] I guess I'm using HAL :p [19:40] Anyone know if these values: http://i390.photobucket.com/albums/oo345/alphaman1101/Screenshot.png are good for a cable modem? [19:40] Is the flashplugin-nonfree that comes in the intrepid repos the flash 10 final? [19:41] DVA5912: looks ok to me [19:41] MrBougo: there is a mouse, and a touchpad. [19:41] DVA5912: yeah, that should be fine [19:41] lianimator, they are commented out [19:41] DVA5912: but you shoul work better at covering your name [19:41] -this site says otherwise: http://docsis.org/node/140 [19:41] MrBougo: oh HAL is used? mm..

I'm having a weird java problem and I'm new to ubuntu... can anyone help? When I use Windows XP on my computer, java heavy sites like Gmail and Facebook work just fine, but when I use Ubuntu, those sites are as slow as molasses. I have the latest version of Firefox as well as Ubuntu 8.10. Also, I apparently have the latest java but when I try to verify if my computer's java works on www.java.com nothing loads in the test box. [20:05] capitalidea: and a nic is what? :) [20:05] musikgoat: i cannot ssh in regular mode, but when i use host control panel and set the server to rescue mode, i can use ssh [20:05] kke: how did you make the nvidia drivers working? [20:05] I have a problem with sleep mode (suspend). Whenever I come back from suspended mode, my screen stays black and nothing shows up. [20:05] capitalidea, u really sure about it, can't it be done this way too? [20:05] daaaamn [20:05] Anyone here use virtualbox? i'm trying to get windows running without dual-booting [20:05] Saiki: ah, so the ubuntu memtest can do both ram and harddrive? [20:05] I can't get it to work >.< [20:05] Ayabara: wrong A name, soz ;) [20:05] Saiki: thanks [20:05] JaDude: ahh, with a host control panel... ok [20:05] that seemed tro do the job [20:05] alpha21: no I'm not sure about it, I just like pulling your leg and wasting my time [20:05] how do i add ubottu(the bot) to loco Room ? [20:05] Ayabara: I always did ram, not the hard drive [20:05] capitalidea: :) [20:06] seclm193, if you can get virtual box to run, just set up a VM and boot it. [20:06] Saiki: ok [20:06] Is there anyway to put mtp devices in my computer [20:06] ? [20:06] damaltor: just reinstalled all nvidia stuff i guess [20:06] musikgoat: in rescue mode i dont really know what to do, i was thinking the boot was messed up or something [20:06] so i can look at file contents? [20:06] JaDude: hmm can you point me to what you did to try to fix proftpd? [20:06] ldiamond, the problem is getting usb devices to work in win xp through virtualbox [20:06] prince_jammys, I read some of them - the ones w/2 ## are telling you something like "uncomment the following line blah blah" then the actual lines that add to repository only have one # . So were good to go - one # should be fine. [20:06] there's a lot of people here, surely someone knows how to make nvidia drivers persist on a livecd [20:06] Is there a way in Ubuntu 8.04 to view installed hardware? [20:06] prince_jammy, thanks again [20:06] musikgoat: i was fixing pureftpd [20:06] kke: did you update or reinstall the system? i have another hdd lying arojund here and thinking about just trying it [20:06] seclm193, I havent use virtual box, but in VMWare you just have to enable it in a menu. [20:07] Greatwolf: you need to burn a new cd with it on it [20:07] capitalidea: i just asked if u were 100% sure, obvious, don't like ur sarcasm [20:07] sup clint [20:07] authentication failed when users tried to login [20:07] damaltor: upgraded. [20:07] name stealer [20:07] seclm193, the USB device will not work in both the VM and the host. You have to tell the VM to take control of it [20:07] ldiamond, does VMWare work better [20:07] Can someone help me with Intel GMA950, I can't get good resolution, it is connected to a 37 samsung tv with HDMI I tried the higher resolutions, but it says mode not acceptable but they work with osx, running 8.10 xubuntu. [20:07] :P [20:07] seclm193, I dont think so [20:07] musikgoat: authentication failed when users tried to login [20:07] nite_johnboy: ah, yes, they're using ## for lines with text that should never be commented out. makes no difference, though. just makes it more readable, perhaps [20:07] kke: so, on your system, the nvidia drivers work with 3d acc? [20:07] seclm193, I just happen to have used it a lot. [20:07] seclm193, Try google [20:07] ldiamond, i'm just not sure how to tell VM to take control [20:08] seclm193, this is not a ubuntu problem [20:08] musikgoat: i checked settings and all seemed to be working, i was using pure admin [20:08] someone recommend me a IRC client other than xchat [20:08] ldiamond, been googling, getting more confused than anything [20:08] I deleted the panel that shows my minimized programs.

[20:23] JaDude: is that all of it? or only whats showing in the terminal? [20:23] kitty_: I blieve you'll need a windows CD for that. fixboot and all. I'm not really up to par on details, you might try asking in #windows [20:23] Flannel: How do I find out? echo $PREFIX? [20:23] Tetracomm: yeah [20:24] Ok, it doesn't say anything.

[20:24] there is a package called ms-sys that allows you to add boot info to partitions, but i did that and it still doesn't work [20:24] EdLin: he said it's for movies didn't he (also, tv screens aren't 32x480 - actually, tv screens don't have a horizontal resolution at all, only a vertical resulution, i.e. a number of lines) [20:24] pangloss: @ [20:24] when i was on kde i would replace my x with: kwin --replace& how do I come out of emerald now that I have gnome.

[20:25] Tetracomm: interesting. Ok, verify that whatever it is you were installing is in /bin [20:25] LjL: well, you aren't going to be able to display movies on a TV without displaying the Ubuntu desktop if you're doing it via computer.

[20:25] This is a very noob question, but what exactly does the "./" command do? [20:25] MrBougo: took me about a minute to do it via what the bug report I gave you suggests [20:25] is there no free version of adobe or flash? [20:25] LjL: as for it not having any horizontal resolution, I suggest you consult wikipedia about NTSC standards. [20:25] Flannel: How? [20:26] i cant view youtube [20:26] My /etc/network/interfaces file: http://paste.ubuntu.com/66406/ [20:26] Malocite: the open-source drivers have little to no hardwareacceleration, so in that case you need to enable the closed-source driver. [20:26] jrib, I'm sorry, I suppose I'm not as experienced as you :/ [20:26] TheZealot: it's not really a command, but it does run, whatever you do it before [20:26] shad0w0fsin, musikgoat, thanks [20:26] TheZealot: its not a command, but . is your current directory, so ./ is equivalent of /whatever/directory/im/in/ [20:26] BTW, and this is an easy one I am sure, can someone point me to a site that shows what changes were made from 8.04 to 8.10 [20:26] could you share your results? [20:26] olivuser: you can try gnash [20:26] TheZealot: it references the current directory [20:26] does the command "do-release-upgrade" make any different on different sources server? [20:26] uxing xinit? [20:26] MrBougo: no, the issue is you are ignoring it and trying other things, which makes it hard to help you [20:26] whabang1: Thanks, thats what I thought... .The closed driver was a nightmare for my old radeon 9000 but I am sure this one will work a little better :) [20:26] ay^: ok cool thank you [20:26] musikgoat, i have read more documentation about Bind to this result, good in the local server, wrong from my remote pc [20:26] Tetracomm: Do you know what the executable name is?

Can anyone tell me how can i do that? [20:29] whabang1: (takes a deep breath) ok here goes :) [20:29] Tetracomm: alright, what told you to set ORBIT_WHATEVER to /bin? [20:29] How do I find out what processes are using ALSA via the terminal? [20:29] <_woli_> is the ram used as cache counted as non-available ram? [20:30] <_woli_> or as used ram... [20:30] different computers? [20:30] <_woli_> or as not free ram [20:30] ofc [20:30] musikgoat, Ubuntu does not open the DNS port from anothor network ? [20:30] @ DOUGMD ... ok, i got that, what distro, kernel, atheros chipset/card you have? [20:30] iptalbes can do this. [20:30] musikgoat, i need to open port(s) ? [20:30] _woli_: have you tried htop? [20:30] Can anyone tell me why my screen stays black when coming back from Suspend mode ? [20:30] musikgoat: OK fsck.jfs is what I needed to do to discover my home partition is still intact. I most certainly did not need to google and find nothing but companies selling data recovery. I suppose I could have maybe used fsck.reiserfs on what turned out to be the partition I intended on overwritting... just so youknow ;) [20:30] <_woli_> LF|Irssi_: no... what is that? [20:31] 1 [20:31] Anyone hooked his computer to a SAMSUNG LE-37A456 [20:31] its a process monitor, sudo apt-get install htop then just type htop after you install it [20:31] any idea?

[20:32] Flannel: I found that I didn't install the orbit development packages, trying again... [20:32] threeseas: did i tell you to google? you said something about not using journaled file systems and i simply was giving you my opinion that journaled file systems work fine, but i'm glad your problem is resolved [20:32] bl4ckP0pe: What's the command to see the kernel version? I always forget it. [20:32] woli: it should show you all the proccesses that are running, i thought that's what you wanted to see? [20:33] uname -movrs [20:33] Flannel: yay, it looks like it built CORBA now. [20:33] musikgoat: thats all of it [20:33] LF|Irssi_: i want to know if the cached ram (showed by the gnome-system-monitor) is free ram, or used ram [20:33] Apparently the install of 8.04 can make the jfs partition unclean and appear to be operating system files tht then can prevent the install of 8.04 on a different partition.... go figure... [20:33] Has anyone ever created a virtualbox image using the commericial version, then used that image in the virtualbox ose version in the repo's?

[20:34] as well as cpu usage [20:34] LF|Irssi_: there is 38% in use by programs, and 55% used as cache [20:34] i want to know what is the true ram usage [20:34] musikgoat, my Bind installation does not accept external dns resolution ? :) [20:34] PLEASE HELP ME WITH MY WIRELESS CONNECTIVITY [20:34] musikgoat: I know you didn't point me to google and I will be moving my partitions to ext3. thanks you [20:34] Hello hello, could anyone tell me how to share my computer's internet connection with a connected computer?

Usually, text editors will either (1) automagically detect what language you are programming in and highlight accordingly, or (2) allow you to select a highlighting schema for your language. [20:41] Just had some questions before i installed, Gallez can you answer some questions? [20:41] break_free: I am looking at them now and the list is pretty daunting. Everything is set to default now. [20:41] sure, shoot [20:41] is Ubuntu not compatible with Intel Wireless cards [20:41] ? [20:41] Will SOMEBODY tell me WHAT the BLOODY command line is to SHUT OFF this sound? [20:41] Hey all - iptables doesn't seem to keep my rules that I'm setting. Paste: http://paste.ubuntu.com/66416/ [20:41] arooni: apt-get -f install [20:41] Flannel: yah I tried that already, also tried ifconfig wlan0 down, ifconfig wlan0 up, and also dhclient wlan0 to try to renew [20:41] So I run the command and get no errors... [20:41] abdurraouf: no, my intel wireless works fine [20:41] nothing is in dmesg.0 [20:42] but immediately after I list rules, and the rule isn't in there [20:42] GodfatherofEire2: sudo destroy-the-world [20:42] JaDude: ok, then just dmesg [20:42] Gallez, well first question.. I am on a windows machine using firefox, will my favorites port over? [20:42] I am using laptop [20:42] GodfatherofEire2: Try running aumix in the command line, and muting everything in there. [20:42] abdurraouf: you might have to install ndiwrapper and your windows based driver for your wireless card [20:42] abdurraouf: so am i [20:42] nadalizadeh, i have a local deb thats not in a repo [20:42] abdurraouf, i have an intel card and it works quite well [20:42] rodolfo: Installing gedit now to try ... [20:42] Killabeez: copy them on a usb stick [20:42] how to do so [20:42] ? [20:42] kkerwin, what about to find what process is using the sound card at the moment, so I can kill that process? [20:42] arooni, install it with dpkg -i and skip errors, and then run a apt-get -f install to install dependecies [20:42] how come I can't add a printer? I click connect to localhost and it says "There was an error during the CUPS operation: 'httpConnectionEncrypt failed'." [20:42] ok folks, I now have Intrepid installed and have noticed that my display is a bit out of whack. My Graphics Card is an ATI Technologies Inc RV610 [Radeon HD 2400 XT] and my Screen Resolution is currently set to 1280x1024 @ 0 Hz? Things look a bit off. Can someone suggest a fix? [20:43] Killabeez: they don't port over automatically, but there is an easy way to copy them [20:43] nourredin Ok, thats what i thought.. Do you happen to know where the favorites are saved? [20:43] Flannel: what I'm seeing is when it stops working, the network-manager doesn't show any wifi networks except the last one I was connected to. also attempts to reconnect it ask for the key I enter it but it never connects [20:43] Killabeez: a hidden folder [20:43] musikgoat: check PM [20:43] GodfatherofEire2: Erm ... I dunno about that. [20:43] Killabeez: under windows export all your bookmarks to a .html file [20:43] Flannel: almost like there are no packets going out from the adapter [20:43] And Gallez, the half a second long sound has been repeating itself for the last half hour while I've been tryin to kill the process making it. [20:43] JaDude: k, one moment [20:43] got debmirror question ! Can I skip "-dbg" packages while mirroring the packages ? I want to split them on dvd and don't like dbg files [20:43] I canr view youtube, it syas eithe rjavascript is off(whewre do i check that and how do i turn it on?) or flash is not updated. i couldnt update flahs. i tried gnash but ti deostn make youtube watchable [20:43] gallez they are already in html [20:43] rodolfo: You said basic? [20:43] kkerwin what if the text editor doesn't support that language? you know, real-basic is not entirely free, actually it's NOT free at all but it's almost the same as Java. anyway if it doesn't recognize the language, what am I supposed to do? [20:44] kkerwin real-basic. :-) [20:44] rodolfo: Ah, real-basic != basic. [20:44] hi [20:44] Does anyone know how I can see what x-session is running so I can do mplayer -display x:0 MOVIE.MPG [20:44] how can i convert my avi files to mp4 (so that i can put them on my ipod) under ubuntu? [20:44] JaDude: unfortunately that is only giving me what i don't need :-) do you have free tech support with your hosting provider? [20:44] kkerwin yeah :-) [20:44] abdurraouf: it's been a while since I have done it, installed ndiwrapper and set it up for a windows based wireles driver, but again, use google to see what you can find on it, as that is what I'd do, knowing I went that route befoe with success/ [20:44] yea i have support [20:44] What's a good channelfor c++ help? [20:44] kkerwin do you know it? [20:44] rodolfo: Well, I'm not sure how to do it, but I know that you can write your own highlighting schema files. I would suggest looking in the documentation for that. [20:45] GodfatherofEire2: man, if i were you i'd just reboot it [20:45] i am still a beginer so i need help. [20:45] rodolfo: Nope, never heard of it. [20:45] i have put some application(firestarter,amarok,transmission...) to start at session start-up. [20:45] so my questions are: [20:45] 1)when session start, all application starts maximized, so i must to minimize all. How to start them minimized? [20:45] 2)at every start, when firestarter is launching, i must to enter my password, is any posibility to start firestarter(or other programs) without entering of password? [20:45] vazdyk: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [20:45] Sadnack, #c++ [20:45] Sadnack: #c++ ? [20:45] apollonara ole [20:45] Thanks [20:45] musikgoat: yes i have support [20:45] ok [20:45] sorry [20:45] rodolfo: One moment ... [20:45] JaDude: without having direct access to the machine to see what errors show up during normal boot, i don't know of any suggestions for finding your problem [20:45] got debmirror question ! Can I skip "-dbg" packages while mirroring the packages ? I want to split them on dvd and don't like dbg files [20:45] Gallez, the problem with that, is ALSA goes to hell on me whenever I do that, and I have to restart it all the time [20:45] Flannel: so I guess my real Q is, how do I reinit my wifi usb adapter after replugging it w/o rebooting? [20:45] Gallez, next question.. I want to save some of the files on my HDD before installing ubuntu. (such as WoW, pr0n, music, ect)... Should I partition some space on the drive, move the files there and format the partition i want ubuntu on? will ubuntu give me any trouble mounting a ntfs file system? [20:45] kkerwin in other words, both gedit and kate are customizable IDEs? [20:45] JaDude: do you have any sites you used to do what you did to pureftpd? [20:45] Its actually more like a tenth of a second long [20:45] abdurraouf: what wireless card or device do you have - make and model? [20:45] JaDude: so i can see what you actually did [20:45] rodolfo: Aye. [20:46] hey guys where can i change my host name? [20:46] rodolfo: Looking into it now ... [20:46] Killabeez: ubuntu works perfectly with ntfs [20:46] musikgoat lemme see if i can find something [20:46] hey guys where can i change my hostname [20:46] inktri, in your network manager (icon at the your tray bar) [20:46] rodolfo: From www.gnome.org/projects/gedit: Configurable syntax highlighting for various languages (C, C++, Java, HTML, XML, Python, Perl and many others). Keyword being "configurable". Now to find out HOW. [20:46] Killabeez: so just copy the porn to a ntfs partition and leave that partition untouched during the installation [20:46] how come I can't add a printer? I click connect to localhost and it says "There was an error during the CUPS operation: 'httpConnectionEncrypt failed'." [20:46] Killabeez: and you will be able to enjoy the blowjobs like a real nerd, under linux [20:47] ok folks, I now have Intrepid installed and have noticed that my display is a bit out of whack. My Graphics Card is an ATI Technologies Inc RV610 [Radeon HD 2400 XT] and my Screen Resolution is currently set to 1280x1024 @ 0 Hz? Things look a bit off. Can someone suggest a fix? I think my previous resolution was 1440 x 900 as I have a 19in. flatpanel (widescreen). [20:47] I have a core2duo laptop, is it worth running 64-bit ubuntu or just use 32-bit? [20:47] Gallez can you recommend a program i can use (in windows) to partition the drive like i want? [20:47] argh, where can I change this darn alt-tab setting ? (which I don't see listed in the keyboard shortcut list) [20:47] kkerwin oh..thanks for step up. gonna figure it out :-) [20:47] i am still a beginer so i need help. [20:47] i have put some application(firestarter,amarok,transmission...) to start at session start-up. [20:47] so my questions are: [20:47] 1)when session start, all application starts maximized, so i must to minimize all. How to start them minimized? [20:47] 2)at every start, when firestarter is launching, i must to enter my password, is any posibility to start firestarter(or other programs) without entering of password? [20:47] vazdyk: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [20:47] nadalizadeh: i don't see it [20:48] xomp, edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf and replace "driver ati" --> "driver vesa" [20:48] rodolfo: Good luck. Try this page: http://wiki.linuxcnc.org/cgi-bin/emcinfo.pl?Highlighting_In_Gedit [20:48] Killabeez: i never partitioned a drive under windows, i suggest you run ubuntu in livecd mode, install gparted and partition it from there [20:48] TuxSympathiser: some core2duo's support 64, and some dont, look for EMT64 support for your particular processor model [20:48] Gallez, is there any problems with ubuntu and the radeon 3600? [20:48] nadalizadeh, ok, I'll give it a try. Thanks! [20:48] Gallez ahh sounds like a good idea [20:48] hey guys why would you ever use vi/emacs/nano etc instead of gedit with ubuntu? [20:48] if you're working remotely in a terminal it's more convienent [20:49] kkerwin thank you! [20:49] inktri, I use mcedit and vim [20:49] inktri i prefer vi because its what i know [20:49] nadalizadeh, shouldn't that be backwards? Because I have "vesa" in there now. Would I want to put "ati" there instead? [20:49] and some people feel the shortcuts/layout of an editor like vim lets them be more productive [20:49] Killabeez: there should be no problem, intrepid is really awesome when it comes to hardware recognition [20:49] nadalizadeh: Noticed your comment about the ati driver. I'm having a similar problem, but would like to use fglrx. Is there a problem with the driver in Ibex? [20:49] Killabeez: there are always proprietary drivers available should anything go wrong [20:49] xomp, I know, its just a temporary fix to do your work, not to play your games :) [20:50] is thar an equeliser in ubuntu [20:50] musikgoat: do u think it could be the bootloader? [20:50] Does anybody in here know the terminal command out what process is using my sound card? [20:50] is it possible to sen d a network msg to a vista computer? [20:50] got debmirror question ! Can I skip "-dbg" packages while mirroring the packages ? I want to split them on dvd and don't like dbg files [20:50] how does irc work? is there like a file on a server which gets updated? or are messages stored in a database? [20:50] JaDude: not if you haven't made any changes to it (upgrades) [20:50] ok kool [20:50] how come I can't add a printer? I click connect to localhost and it says "There was an error during the CUPS operation: 'httpConnectionEncrypt failed'." [20:50] musikgoat: ok. i didnt touch that [20:51] is it possible to send a network msg to a vista computer? [20:51] is thar an equeliser in ubuntu [20:51] Hey Packaging folks ! got debmirror question ! Can I skip "-dbg" packages while mirroring the packages ? I want to split them on dvd and don't like dbg files [20:51] how do I reinit my wifi usb adapter after replugging it w/o rebooting?

[20:52] Hello all [20:52] i am still a beginer so i need help.i have put some application(firestarter,amarok,transmission...) to start at session start-up.

How to start them minimized? 2)at every start, when firestarter is launching, i must to enter my password, is any posibility to start firestarter(or other programs) without entering of password? [20:52] for various frequencies [20:52] I installed VLC in Interpid but the menu shortcut doesnt work [20:52] It says wxvlc not found or something to that effect [20:52] Gallez can i msg you ? [20:52] Should I just edit the menu to point to vlc instead of wxvlc ? [20:52] linuxnoop... probably a quick google away :) [20:53] Killabeez: what do you mean "msg me"? [20:53] Gallez whisper [20:53] no i mean an build in equeliser [20:53] how can i change the look of my firefox? it wont let me [20:53] ok msg me [20:54] how do you move teh contents of one HD partition to another, using ubuntu live 8/04? file permission issues [20:54] i love getting disconnected [20:55] Hi I'm trying to install a .tar.gz and the ./configure command doesn't work [20:55] break_free> no i mean an build in equeliser [20:55] anyone know any bittorrent different than bittorrent download client and transmission bittorrent client? [20:55] diffred for linux? [20:55] yep ubuntu 8.10 [20:55] diffred, deluge is awesome [20:56] because those programs don't verify local data properly [20:56] I mean I was donwloading in windows bittorrent some files about 12GB and had like 6GB done [20:56] so in Ubuntu [20:56] wanted to continue the download from 6GB upwards [20:56] but fails in verifying local data :( [20:56] how to write a ubuntu image on USB drive, to boot later from it. [20:57] diffred: what client are you using? [20:57] Why doesnt the zsnes start on my computer? I have ubuntu 8.10 [20:57] metrick remove packages and install again? [20:57] I have transmission and bittorrent download client [20:57] does wubi run faster than ubuntu in virtualbox? [20:57] lol allele [20:58] diffred: and none of them verified the data even when you set it to install in the same place? [20:58] yep transmission started veryfing data [20:58] but then suddenly the torrent became Paused [20:58] kitty_:does that mean a definite yes? [20:58] I clicked on veryfy local data again [20:58] and after a while veryfing...again paused automatically [20:59] musikgoat: http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=416391&postcount=12 [20:59] maybe because it's a big file and in an external USB harddrive [20:59] musikgoat: i think i tried that fix [20:59] diffred: have you tried resuming it? I don't think that's got to do with your already-downloaded data [20:59] musikgoat: http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=526741&postcount=13 [20:59] Gallez no [20:59] well, I guess I'm just SOL with Intrepid and an ATI Grapchis card :/ [20:59] sometimes in hindsight I think I ask stupid questions..... but I'm over 50 so I forget how simple the complexity of linux is. ;) [20:59] how do I reinit my wifi usb adapter after replugging it w/o rebooting under intrepid? [20:59] musikgoat: i ran those codes [21:00] vazdyk bootable usb drive for installing on here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AspireOne that info isnt specific to aspireone [21:00] ljuwaidah, but in windows XP the bittorrent works fine :( [21:00] how can I set an ad hoc wireless network that uses wep encryption? [21:00] musikgoat: http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=1175868&postcount=18 [21:00] diffred: I don't know, it worked fine here too :/ [21:00] Another question, is there any known issues with ubuntu and linksys wireless g usb adapters? [21:00] JaDude: is that all you remember, cause it doesn't seem like those commands would affect boot [21:00] Is 8.10 stable yet? [21:00] which all files do i need to copy to a partition to make it so ntldr will work? just boot.ini, ntdetect.com and ntldr ? [21:01] hi [21:01] musikgoat: basically i was checking my settings to see if all settings was ok [21:01] * lifestream asks: when I am booting up, I get the messages twice, like: Checking batery state [OK] Checking battery state [OK], and everything else too, that's just the one i remember. What's happened? :P [21:01] neeto: what exactly do you mean by stable? [21:01] neeto: if you're talking about it crashing then it's never crashed with me [21:01] it's metastable ;) [21:02] ljuwaidah: seems like every time they have a release there is a time where it's still not quite put together perfectly... [21:02] JaDude: yeah, sorry then, I cant say what the issue is without some local access, hopefully your support channel is able to give you more info [21:02] how can i make an ubuntu package and public it in a repository? [21:02] does anyone know how to view comedycentral.com, it used to work but no more? [21:02] ljuwaidah: I always wait for about 3 weeks after the initial release to grab it [21:02] leonox: Check the topic in #ubuntu-motu [21:02] * lifestream asks: Is it possible to have GDM without alsa-utils? I uninstalled alsa-utils because it makes my pc crash at shutdown, but it also uninstalled GDM! Now I need gdm again, but it asks me to install GDM too. Grrr! [21:02] Why do you guys hate intelligence? [21:02] Who hates intelligence? [21:02] What do you mean? [21:02] neeto: well, I'm having some problems but I don't think any of them is ubuntu's fault [21:02] The ubuntu developers.

[21:05] he needs to go to #ubuntu-troll [21:05] JaDude: you can always backup everything in the recovery mode if anything [21:05] allele, it runs from a windows partition, it does not run "from" windows [21:05] allele: That's not offtopic. Wubi allows you to install inside a windows partition, but it runs natively (not emulated or anything) === alberto is now known as Guest70785 [21:05] musikgoat, it's works: wrong "arpa domain" for the ip resolution :D [21:05] i need help configuring my keyboard volume controls with my audio module [21:05] JaDude: but i cant think of anything else to suggest [21:05] makhi: nice work [21:05] ah, so if I'm having problems with vista updates now that probably wouldn't fix it? [21:05] Can Ibex handle my third party hardy repositories??????? [21:06] ThomasG33K, if you can replace hardy by intrepid on it, then yes [21:06] How do you find out what x-session one screen runs= [21:06] Can Ibex handle 12" of cock in his rectum? [21:06] allele: That shouldn't affect it, no. Its just a file inside of windows. [21:06] ThomasG33K, assuming those repositories have an intrepid section [21:06] ThomasG33K, but you might have to check with your Third Parties. Its their responsibity to make them work on ubuntu [21:06] ThomasG33K: as long as your hardy 3rd party repos have an option for intrepid too [21:06] lifestream, yeah thats what im worried about [21:06] I can't isntall a .tar.gz can anyone help? [21:07] !source [21:07] You can easily fetch a package's source with apt-get. See: http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/apt-howto/ch-sourcehandling.en.html [21:07] musikgoat: i am gonna disable rescue and try to boot normally, host told me that maybe some daemon isnt running [21:07] Cyberia: ubuntu package are preferred. What are you trying to install? [21:07] Cyberia: you gotta untar it... tar xzf filename.tar.gz, then you can deal with the files inside the archive. [21:07] how do i get rid of the screenlets manager in the system tray? [21:07] I wish my ATI card worked as well in Intrepid as it did in Hardy :S [21:07] The package is this: http://minnie.tuhs.org/Programs/Pdftohtml/wkt_pdftohtml-20081008.tar.gz [21:07] Based on poppler [21:07] A pdf renderer [21:07] I untarred it, yea [21:07] Guys, do I need to do anything before I pull out my usb wifi adapter? [21:07] It has no ./configure file inside [21:08] !enter > Cyberia [21:08] Cyberia, please see my private message [21:08] Only a 'Makefile' file [21:08] !info poppler-utils [21:08] Cyberia: there should be a configure file or a make file [21:08] snova, i had same problem apt-get remove is like the only way i found [21:08] poppler-utils (source: poppler): PDF utilitites (based on libpoppler). In component main, is optional. Version 0.8.7-1 (intrepid), package size 73 kB, installed size 288 kB [21:08] Cyberia: see above. [21:08] ThomasG33K: ok [21:08] Cyberia: it's already packaged for you. Don't intsall from source. [21:08] snova, the widgets arent worth it in my opinion and if you are annoyed by them remove em [21:08] hmm [21:08] So what do I do, is already installed? [21:09] Cyberia: run it as root using ./configure or ./executable-name. If you get an error, use sh instead... or follow the advice of these guys in here because .deb packages are easier to deal with. [21:09] ThomasG33K: i mostly wanted to find out what it was [21:09] Anyone know how to Change the Font size on the Gnome Logon screen. Up'ed to 8.10 and it made the font size Gynormous.. :D [21:09] snova, keep looking at the options in screenlet manager and see if you can hide it in notification bar but i couldnt find it when I was using them === wind2 is now known as windmill [21:10] ThomasG33K: yes, but hiding it isn't the same as shutting it down. and it's still running... === thunderstruck is now known as gnomefreak [21:10] Hi, where can i see the startup for my system? [21:10] snova, oh. yeah you have to remove the entries from the sessions menu in admin prefs [21:10] I disconnected my usb wifi adapter and typing in lsusb on a terminal just stays there nonresponsive. why does it do that? [21:11] ? [21:11] Or, where can I edit the startup of the system. Thanks. [21:11] boozkachu, you mean like the boot messages? Do you want to see it everytime you boot, or just now?

[22:07] on a friends computer [22:08] garu: The easiest way (for Ubuntu, not Kubuntu) is to open update manager, update, then click the "Upgrade Ubuntu" button that comes up [22:08] is anyone here that can help me with a problem? [22:08] zimbres: why do you want it? [22:08] lavacano201014 scared of upgrades.lol...had a really bad experience no long ago with an upgrade! [22:08] august_: best to just ask the channel your question. If someone knows the answer, they will try to answer you [22:08] august_: Depends on what the problem is === august_ is now known as Guest59366 [22:08] not quite the best ubuntu usere here but I have a problem with ubuntu 8.10 the new one [22:08] hey does someone have metisse working?? i cant install it because of an ffmpeg error [22:08] Ok thanks jrib [22:08] garu: Must of been a bad upgrade. They're usually great [22:08] chukaman: It [22:08] My problem is.. I can not get my computer to hock up to the TV [22:08] gourdcaptain: that should be fine though.... at the moment i'm not even running x, cos i don't _have_ to run x on that box but if i do i want it to be accelerated x and use my quadro nvs 285 properly [22:08] chukaman: It's something like Option "AddARGBGLXVisuals" "true" [22:08] hook [22:09] garu: i've been upgrading my laptop since 5.10 and have never had problems enough to require a format :) [22:09] swweet shot. gonna try that now [22:09] my sound doesn't work under 8.10, help!!! [22:09] Everytime I click FN F7 it doesnt work [22:09] garu, might be easier and less problemmatic if you create a new partition for your /home and move all your data there... change fstab to reflect the change and make sure your system will still reboot and your data is accessable.. then reinstall the latest ubuntu on top of the old install marking the new /home partition as /home for the new install but don't format it. === Tange2 is now known as fourwheels [22:09] jrib, i have a problem with my keyboard layout. So i want the defkeymap.map file. I did not find it in my system. Where can i find it? [22:09] I just updated to Kubuntu 8.10 and when I try and start it up, it comes up with "starting kdm" and "starting kdm-kde4" " cannot start kdm-kde4 Not default display manager" [22:10] lavacano201014 normal upgrade...using the terminal and the update manager...tried both once, and it just messed up everything...that's why I kinda always do a clean install...but, I have so much stuff now, that I dont really want to have to go through that! [22:10] and drops to command prompt [22:10] hello! Anyone using 8.10 already ? Does anyone feel it's faster then 8.04 ? Should I stick with 8.04 or upgrade ? thanks! [22:10] scunizi: Have they taken out the update manager feature to go up to 8.10? [22:10] hey sorry I dont want to repeat but in case my question wasn't seen I'm going to try once more. [22:10] lavacano201014: no [22:10] hey quick questions, I've got a Logitech USB headset here trying to get it to work under skype. I've followed this http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=954325 but still no avail. Anyone else had any issues on Intrepid? [22:10] garu: Oh I see... [22:10] !best > mqueiros [22:10] mqueiros, please see my private message [22:10] Somebody, Anybody.. Please tell me how to edit the wizard/main.c file that is talked about to make the BT wizard default to 0000pin. [22:10] I just updated to Kubuntu 8.10 and when I try and start it up, it comes up with "starting kdm" and "starting kdm-kde4" " cannot start kdm-kde4 Not default display manager", then drops to command prompt [22:10] where do i download the source for packages? [22:10] Like when i plug in my computer to the tv. It just will not get on the tv. It works with kubuntu but not ubuntu [22:10] When going for reboot or shutdown the system freezes on shuting down alsa [22:10] Guest59366: How do you connect the TV to the PC? Which gfx card in the PC? [22:10] garu: Best to back up your home folder to an external source (preferably external HD, 4GB stick drive usually covers it), and do a clean install [22:11] Dragon_Master: sudo dpkg-reconfigure kdm [22:11] Lynet: most nvidia's and modern cards have hdmi out [22:11] Dragon_Master: this will prompt you to select a login manager [22:11] how do i find out what graphic card i have? lynet? [22:11] Any programs you installed through the package manager can all be set to reinstall in one session. [22:11] Guest59366: lspci [22:11] What is some good software to burn .vob files to a dvd+R? [22:11] whenever I'm installing ubuntu, when It gets to the partitioning part, there is an option that I can use the partitions already created and not format them...shouldnt that allow me to install it and not wipe out its contents? [22:11] Though, if you did a lot of programs, you should just get a few on and do the rest overnight [22:11] Hey, im new to Ubuntu, got the latest version. And I just installed KDE. Now I just wonder how I start it. [22:11] !best | nikitis [22:11] nikitis: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. [22:11] many tvs have normal pc input i think [22:11] jim_p: it ask me to login [22:12] whats better for evolution spamassassin or bogofilter [22:12] on a command screen [22:12] j0nte: Select kde as session type when you log in. [22:12] then drop to command prompt [22:12] lavacano201014, no.. it's just that if you read the forums you'll find that upgrading can sometimes lead to "different" operation. A clean install typically doesn't have any weird quirks. Even the release notes mention some of the quirks if you upgrade [22:12] Dragon_Master: well login as usual! [22:12] I get this error on Intel gma950 http://pastie.org/306045 Running a movie, the screen turns dark, everything works such as sound and I can click on stuff but still dark [22:12] j0nte: on the login screen click the options button and select kde for the session [22:12] which one is the graphic card. there is a bunch of them [22:12] Lynet: , how do I do that. Very new to Linux [22:12] sorry, im not that good in CHOWN command, i want to be able to extract stuff directly in /opt/lampp how do i set right permissions? [22:12] jim_p: I can't do anything afterwards [22:12] Guest59366: open a terminal window and type in lspci [22:12] ok [22:12] did that [22:12] scunizi: Meh, I don't usually mind a few discrepancies (sp?) as long as it does what I tell it to well enough [22:13] i think this is my graphics card VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile GM965/GL960 Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 03) [22:13] zimbres: don't know [22:13] Dragon_Master: can you input commands in command line? [22:13] Guest59366: yeap thats it. [22:13] thats all [22:13] thanks histo [22:13] All I use my Ubuntu machine for really is music, and right now I'm compiling Pidgin for IM stuff [22:13] is there a problem with my graphic card? [22:13] can't use the "exec" command to start anything [22:13] jrib, When i run loadkeys -d it does not find a file descriptor. [22:14] ack! i require the source for the libc version on my machine. where do i get it from? [22:14] j0nte: In the login window. You should have a settings/session/whatever button there (depeding on which login manager you use). Somewhere there you should find sessions, and kde listed as one of the options. [22:14] jrib, How can i apt-get the kernel source? [22:14] can someone explain to me what the official ubuntu way is of adding/removing init scripts? update-rc.d? sysvinit? i hear all this talk about upstart but there are still all these /etc/rc.X/ dirs... [22:14] can i tell apt-src to just download it? [22:14] can anyone help me with a bluetooth issue? [22:14] hey erUSUL the sun-java6-jdk package in synaptic? [22:14] lordhelmet: Two things, 1) Nice Spaceballs reference, 2) Package name is libc6-dev, I think [22:14] Lynet: Can Ill try [22:14] I want to know how to get to the desktop [22:14] qowao: yep; what's up with it? [22:14] I just click fn f7 on Kubuntu but that doesnt work with ubuntu [22:14] is this this the right one k [22:14] zimbres: apt-cache search linux-source [22:15] cause i wanted SDK [22:15] brb [22:15] qowao: yep [22:15] I just dont understand why it will not work. [22:15] hi i got a error message on evolution email receiving [22:15] libc6-dev just includes headers though [22:15] not JDK [22:15] its bogofilter error-code: 3 [22:15] There was a metapackage that gets all the common development headers, but I can't remember what it was [22:15] if I have 64 bit linux and upgrade from 8.04 to 8.10 will the upgrade manager know to install all 64-bit packages? [22:15] jrib, Do you know any other way to fix the keyboard layout? [22:15] bogofilter is installed and bogofilter is choosen in evolution. what can i do? google isnt much help [22:15] hi [22:15] dougmd: yep [22:15] dougmd: yes [22:15] lordhelmet: Try libc6-src [22:15] is it true Radeon 7000 has no driver support for 8.10? [22:15] thanks! [22:15] Ok, so, I had VNC set up under 8.04 so that I could VNC into the login screen and log into the desktop. Well, I thought I made the right changes to 8.10 but I missed something. Now I enter my UN and password, and then the VNC session ends, and I can see on the box's monitor that it goes back to the login screen. What have I done wrong, what did I miss? [22:15] * histo forgot how crazy this channel gets with a release [22:16] can someone tell me what is the exact name of "language preferences" in System → Administration? [22:16] zimbres: what's wrong exactly?

(maximum paralel downloads is set to 40) [22:16] jengo: Make sure your monitor is on, and if you use a KVM, that it's on the Ubuntu machine, while it's booting up [22:16] Hello, why the hell in Ubuntu, all my Quad 4 cores were limited from 2,4 to 1,6 Ghz for powersaving ? [22:16] thank you histo [22:16] :) [22:17] jengo: a guide? the card should be configured after install without the need to aditional steps [22:17] rom: if you want to launch from termeinal its gnome-launguage-selector [22:17] jengo: If that doesn't work, there's probably drivers on the internet somewhere, ATI might even have them [22:17] Guest59366: Try paying around with settings - screen resolution while the tv is connected. Could be that ubuntu doesn't autodetect the tv properly or that resolution is set wrong for the tv. [22:17] ATI *does* make the Radeons, right? [22:17] yes [22:17] lavacano201014: Indeed. [22:17] gnome-launguage-selector : unknown command [22:17] ah language :) [22:17] the problem im having is that it wont go above 1024x768 [22:18] Hi!, anyone using Deluge as torrent download?

I really dont want to go back to windows but windows just seems to work without having to pull my hair out. this is ridiculous. [22:28] ldiamond, not familiar with filesharing protocol - now I use fish and ssh to connect to this medium - it would be a much smoother way to have a mount point on the common server, so all of my user could reach it by pressing this folder. Do you understand my question? [22:28] Spherous: Hmm, that does make sense [22:28] hello [22:28] jemark, still nothing [22:28] Gumby: maybe you do not have anough permissions for the *parent* directory ? [22:28] bobbycheetah: I had same problem, module was complaining about firmware (check dmesg). Installed linux-firmware, reboot (or reload wireless module(s)), fixed for me [22:28] i see: lo - no wireless ext; eth0 - no wire ext; eth1 (has a bunch of info); pan0 - no wire ext.

[22:30] Hay guize [22:30] embrik: That would be a filesharing protocol, I'm thinkin'. Put your external on an NFS share.

[22:33] Ville_Valo, when actually installing or just loading the live CD [22:33] I'm thinking a temporary fix will be idle=poll, the computer will run hot but it will solve it for now [22:33] When installing.

[22:35] woli: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP [22:35] boobsbr: I suggest sticking the SD card in an MP3 player or card-reader and plugging that in as a workaround. [22:35] embrik, I dont think so [22:36] Juan: there is some regression bug somewhere. I would just wait a month, and hope for the best [22:36] embrik, samba is what you need. [22:36] jemark, I had the audio working a few days ago, nothing has changed since then :-\ [22:36] No, it doesn't load that far. Just formatting it using Windows or something. [22:36] the camera is the only card enabled device i have [22:36] is there a bug with the gtk+ engines? it keeps telling me that things won't look right because the engine " is not installed [22:36] celeretaudax, is that a command? [22:36] Ville_Valo: No, as that would mean a problem with the disc [22:36] mat-dg: yes [22:36] MaT-dg: I'm going to make mine crash and ssh into it, and then see what is happening [22:36] What do you mean? [22:36] celeretaudax, seems to do nothing... [22:36] boobsbr: In that case, I suggest posing the question to the channel as "how do I access my camera as a generic storage device?". I don't know how to answer that one, but maybe somebody does. [22:36] you gonna be around for 5-10 minutes? [22:36] Ville_Valo: An HD can't affect a disc. [22:37] ldiamond,I had samba and I used it, but only for windows computers and now I haven't got any windows computers in my network :-) [22:37] Ah. [22:37] yeah MaT-dg: it should look like that [22:37] Perhaps there isn't enough free space. You do need a certain amount...Could that be it? [22:37] acidsmoke, YES there is a bug in Intrepid with theme manager, gtk2-engines-pixbuf package, waiting for the fix [22:37] it just changes how yourcomp acts when idling [22:37] alright, thanks [22:37] RyanPrior: thanks for your help [22:37] how do I access my camera as a generic storage device?

Samba is usually for linux to linux too [22:39] elamsusa: why dont you just use the guided partitioning option? [22:39] elamsusa: you can either partition yourself, or just use the guided option [22:39] Spherous: That's a bad dock item thing. [22:39] how do I access my camera as a generic storage device? [22:39] which one? [22:39] ldiamond, Ok, I'll google for it, Thanks :-) [22:39] Kay, I'm off.

I have a lot of sound experience with Ubuntu [22:42] bozza-> still at it? running alsamixer and set the corresponding settings did not do it?

Sometimes I want to pause my media player and listen to a YouTube video, and the only workaround I can find right now is to bookmark the video, exit my media player and Firefox, start Firefox again and listen to the video, then restart my media player. In short, tedium. Can you tell me a way to manually force Flash to control the sound device, and then... [22:43] lets ask Spherous ..maybe he has some insights [22:43] ...give control back to my media player later? [22:44] XaTonki: PuTTY? [22:44] who is speherous ? [22:44] Guided on 8.04 appears to use al the space for just ubuntu, is that right? [22:44] XaTonki: I second PuTTY, it's excellent. See also WinSCP. [22:44] how do i set it up?

Are you on Hardy or Intrepid? [22:45] elamsusa: That is correct, it will wipe out all data and use it all for the Ubuntu install. [22:45] Spherous: I'm on Hardy. [22:45] see the weird thing is though . that if i mute the headphone section it mutes the sound [22:45] RyanPrior: Might be a problem with PulseAudio, Hardy comes with it installed [22:46] somebody here involved in the official ubuntu homepage? [22:46] RyanPrior: Have you tried to turn it off? [22:46] debian [22:46] so what Type for the boot partition? [22:46] Spherous: I have not. I was led to believe that PulseAudio makes things better. [22:46] Hi. I just bought a Hercules webcam. Every time my sister in law tries to do audio (MSN) it tells her that I refused [22:46] is that possible that it is with alsa? [22:46] RyanPrior: Yes and no. PulseAudio, in my opinion, is a step backwards in Linux sound~ [22:46] damaltor: Why do you ask? [22:47] and what do I do? [22:47] I have Ubuntu 8.10 [22:47] Spherous: I've also been led to believe that Intrepid uses PulseAudio as well. [22:47] Flannel: i think i found a mistake: xubuntu is once stated as "official derivate" and once as "noticed" [22:47] RyanPrior: Though, it can help with somethings. But for instance, Wine and PulseAudio, do not mix at all. [22:47] did a dist-upgrade on three systems... all went well. one is missing the 'guest session' option. how do i enable that feature? [22:47] Ax4: can you help? Please? [22:47] Good evening [22:47] RyanPrior: No, Intrepid does not use PulseAudio, I have already checked that out [22:47] I does not?

[22:48] hey firefox doesnt react on BACKSPACE and SHIFT+BACKSPACE to browse the history! [22:48] WHY NOT [22:48] Flannel: ok thx [22:48] Spherous: Okay, fair enough.

[22:51] I wish I could help, but I need help, floatingcushion [22:51] floatingcushion: It's empty because the xorg folks have decided to go hardcore in hardware auto-detection.

Can anyone recomend a good html editing program? (preferably one that has a simple interface) [22:54] !mouse > floatingcushion [22:54] floatingcushion, please see my private message [22:54] celeretaudax, mine are: never go te sleep even on battery [22:54] quassle: thank you =] [22:54] Let me give something a shot. [22:54] hmmm, do you have a webcam on your comp? [22:54] kkerwin: It uses magic now. [22:54] celeretaudax, sorry still have a keyboard prob also :P [22:54] @DracNoc: Thankyou, that was what i was looking for. thanks [22:55] I have a quick question. Can anyone recomend a good html editing program? (preferably one that has a simple interface) [22:55] secion8: no probs :) [22:55] celeretaudax?

[22:55] celeretaudax, so, mine never goes to sleep but puts the display to sleep after xx minutes [22:55] RyanPrior: Haha. Were you serious about the comment before your last? Does 8.10 use another config file somewhere? [22:55] MaT-dg: yeah my keyboard is very sensitive [22:55] My wireless keyboard is currently recognized as dev/input/js0, but I want my gamepad (currently simlinked to js2) to be recognized as js0....what type of commands would I require to change this? [22:56] Hi all. I have a fresh wubi install of intrepid, and swapon at boot takes somewhere in the 35 second range... anyone experienced this? google was no help so far. [22:56] MaT-dg: brb [22:56] kkerwin: No, it seriously uses magic. The idea is that everything is automagically configured, obviating the need for a config file. [22:56] celeretaudax, I was afk long enough for the display to sleep [22:56] True [22:56] how do i set a virtual hostname for my computer for the lan users to access it? [22:57] metrick, do an strace zsnes from command prompt and see where it dumps [22:57] This place sure is busy today [22:57] RyanPrior, you mean "obviating the need to do away with a config file" ? :) [22:57] celeretaudax, going to try something, set sleep after 1min en idle my system for 1 min, if I leave the channel u know what happened [22:57] RyanPrior: Ubuntu doesn't use magic, silly.

[22:57] ^ [22:57] EdgeX, could I bother you with a question?

[22:57] Ern, no [22:58] MnemonicPunk: Actually, it issues prayers to Saint IGNUcius. [22:58] ----- so that WIN+D shows my desktop you know [22:58] I mean [22:58] Yes [22:58] Ah, RyanPrior, try to go into System->preferences->Session and uncheck PulseAudio Session Management Then restart x [22:58] * kkerwin rolls his eyes at RyanPrior. Thanks for the help. [22:58] @DracNoc: Hmm, I do not have a Hcid.conf file, Anyother way too do it? [22:58] EdgeX to who ... yes? [22:58] celeretaudax, aarg it has to idle for a minimum of 11 minutes, Ill be back after 11mintes [22:58] tania: If in doubt, you should probably wait for a few weeks. There are still some bugs that have to be ironed out and 8.04 ist still supported. [22:58] Spherous: I will try that, thanks. [22:58] quaal [22:58] so I enabled desktop effects and had to reboot. Now my external monitor isn't showing up. what do I do? [22:58] quassel251* [22:58] is it possible to create a launcher that is automatically run as root? or will at least ask for your password? so i don't have to keep typing the terminal command anymore [22:58] ----- pls halp [22:59] RyanPrior: This should cause ALSA to take over [22:59] i dont know where else to ask this but all of the sudden pidgin wont connect with yahoo? can someone help? [22:59] relevant bootchart: http://stash.jamesandportia.com/images/intrepid-20081102-3.png [22:59] zimbres: what did you do? reconfigure console-setup? [22:59] guestguestnew, sure, use gksudo gksudo command [22:59] spherous: shall i try the same ? though i think my ALSA is on by default [22:59] secion8: you may need to install the obex files from the repos: sudo apt-get install obexpushd obex-data-server [22:59] not sure though [22:59] unop: I think I said what I meant. Did I go wrong somewhere in there? [22:59] unop: ok i'll try it [22:59] section8: hcid.conf should appear after that [22:59] guestguestnew, yes create a launcher with this as command to run -> gksudo "gnome-open %u" [22:59] wut [23:00] anyone configured VPN client to SonicWall Pro 2040? [23:00] @DracNoc, k will try thanks [23:00] RyanPrior, automagic obviates the need for a config file? i think not :) [23:00] Ok, I would like to do MSN and Yahoo with my new webcam. I don't do anything, but the other computer says I refuse ab Audio with a person with Windows [23:00] unop: Ideally, it should. :-) [23:00] bozza, If you want, but it shouldn't change anything for you [23:00] I have no problem with audio otherwise [23:00] ----- HEY how would i make my windows key work like CTRL+ALT ? [23:00] quassel251: What IM client are you using? [23:00] Is there anyone with knowledge of LIRC? (or knows something apout /dev/input6)? [23:00] ----- so that WIN+D shows my desktop you know [23:01] RyanPrior, i think automagic does away with the need for a config file. [23:01] I've tried several [23:01] unop: That's what obviate means. [23:01] qowao: Try google searching "Change key bindings in Ubuntu" [23:01] Gaim, Amsn, and Gossip at least [23:02] quassel251: That "refuse" message is normal for MSN protocol. It can't differentiate what really happened and then says "the other side refused, was not my fault, SHUT UP STUPID USER" when it can't figure out what's going on. [23:02] so is there something to do? [23:02] quassel251: I've heard it through the grape-vine that Skype has better support for webcams than the average bear. Perhaps try that? [23:02] I downloaded other things [23:02] i dont know where else to ask this but all of the sudden pidgin wont connect with yahoo? can someone help?

Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? [23:03] quassel251: I guess you have some strict firewall or router. Try opening the corresponding port. (Not all clients support TCP/UDP holepunching) [23:03] so I enabled desktop effects and had to reboot. Now my external monitor isn't showing up. what do I do? [23:03] ok fair enough:) [23:03] how do I open and which one to open?

[23:10] I do not see that file? I am looking at /etc/bluetooth/ [23:11] Using Ubuntu 8.10 I installed kubuntu-desktop.

It just fails because it is trying to enter a random pin instead of 0000 [23:13] secion8: a random PIN? [23:13] I am using the default stack in 8.10 if that makes a difference. [23:13] how do i make it so a kernel module is loaded when i start, i'm trying to get lirc working [23:14] I just installed a program using make install and this is the error I get when I try to run it, help?: http://pastebin.com/d56a830e [23:14] secion8: long shot here. create the hcid.conf file using the pastebin contents I gave you. Change the "1234" PIN to "0000". [23:14] BruteSource: First result for me is still a youtube video, though. ^^ And second is a link to the Bochs stuff I mentioned.

[23:18] qowao: meta is usually alt, super is usually the windows key. [23:18] qowao, i dont know what meta is, but super is usually your Windows key. I bet Meta is your Mac Command keys.

[23:25] secion8: Right, this could be fun... I'm going to be working blind here. I'm on Kubuntu. You need to go into your bluetooth settings and find where it says "allow anyone to connect". That should remove the need for a PIN, it might yield some results [23:25] jclift26, what particularly isn't working? [23:25] hye but jrib and saschahl i want both to work , i can just set one shortcut [23:25] does anyone know of a successful way to install ubuntu WITHOUT a CD?

[23:26] erisco, what about iso from flashdrive? [23:26] hi [23:27] jclift26, is it downloading the source lists or actual packages? [23:27] There is no such setting. Only settings are to showicon in the system tray.. i think this is a Ubuntu 8.10 bug and will have to wait. [23:27] !grub [23:27] GRUB is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost GRUB after installing Windows?

Do you know where to find this in the filesystem. [23:27] i have two different pdf files i want to combine into one file (in pdf format) i wonder how i can do this [23:27] jclift26, I tried the iso from the flash drive in so many different ways. either it complained that the cd was invalid, could not be found, could not find my hard drive for partitioning, or tried to partition my flash drive [23:27] i'm not even seeing any lists i get downloading 64 of 64, after click check. then nothing listed, does this make ssnse [23:27] hello every 1 [23:27] sense?

[23:28] DVA5912: What do you mean portable? [23:28] when did upgrade to this kernel, it crashed had to do rest manual install [23:28] DVA5912: Try 'a2enmod php5' [23:28] DVA5912: that might help. === matt_ is now known as mci8406 [23:28] Flannel, light. not system wide [23:28] secion8: that probably wouldn't be a good idea. I'm not experienced with that, even if I could understand it, I wouldn't know what effect it would have with your machine. [23:28] MnemonicPunk: trying [23:28] DVA5912: They're not mutually exclusive [23:29] secion8: did you find the settings I suggested? [23:29] @DracNoc: i am brave, Do you know where to find it? Or is it a source file? [23:29] * lifestream asks: I cannot click Unlock on the System->Admin->Services... Yes, I'm on Sudoers. Button is greyed out. What can I do? [23:29] I have a PC monitor as x screen 0 and a TV on s-video as x screen 1. Is there any easy way to toggle between them if I want to temporarily have screen 1 on my main PC monitor? [23:29] @DracNoc: No.. Only setting available is to show the icon in the system tray or not.. [23:29] oh and I am using nvidia drivers [23:30] i seem to be fine after updating to 8.10 :) i do however have an old problem, i have dual monitors, 3840 by 1200, it works fine but, the external screen is to the left of the laptop, and ubuntu sees it to the right instead how do i fix this ? [23:30] i have two different pdf files i want to combine into one file (in pdf format) i wonder how i can do this [23:30] qowao: well, you can use something like xbindkeys then [23:30] Hi. I used to control my /ets/hosts file within NetworkManager in Hardy. Now that I've upgraded to Intrepid, I can't find the "hosts" tab. Any ideas? Thanks. [23:30] !pdf | zzaza [23:30] Anyone else having issues with open-gl games in full screen with ATI graphics??? [23:30] ok thx [23:30] hey is there no compression tool installed?? [23:30] zzaza: pdf is the Portable Document Format created by Adobe; viewable in GNU/Linux with xpdf/kpdf/evince, and also adobe reader (free download, but closed source) [23:30] zzaza: depends on how you want to "combine" them :) [23:30] then you might need to install the bluetooth management tools: sudo apt-get install gnome-bluetooth [23:30] zzaza: Move the laptop to the other side: ):-D [23:30] secion8: then you might need to install the bluetooth management tools: sudo apt-get install gnome-bluetooth [23:30] I am having a very strange problem with my internet connection for the last 2 weeks. I am running Ubuntu 8.04, with a 8mb/s connection. No wireless, direct connection. Google is incredibly slow using any browser, but only Google. It seems every other site loads in a flash but all google sites (gmail, reader, calendar, etc) are abysmally slow. It takes minutes to connect to the main google page but yahoo opens in about 1/4 sec. I have t [23:30] he same problem in links, firefox 3.0 and Opera. I have tried rebooting the cable modem, and flushing DNS cache. Any ideas would be appreciated. Thanks! [23:30] zzaza: look at pdftk [23:30] ok well MnemonicPunk's solution worked but does anyone else get errors when accessing http://12.207.126.29/ [23:31] does anyone know of a successful way to install ubuntu WITHOUT a CD? [23:31] how can i install new theme in fluxbox from ubuntu? [23:31] erisco, possible USB? [23:31] !compression > qowao [23:31] qowao, please see my private message [23:31] I'm trying to copy the live CD contents to a SD disk formated with FAT32, but it won't copy the symlinks. will this links be needed in the installation process? [23:31] DVA5912, do you know of any tutorials that work? [23:31] recently i have a notification on the tool bar: says there is upgrade available, but when i click and press check, nothing to be upgraded [23:31] DVA5912, I get an error [23:31] hi, for some reason, on Xubuntu, whenever I try to open a folder, it automatically closes. [23:31] i installe 7zip [23:31] via ADD / REMOVE [23:31] erisco: all i know is that ive heard of it [23:31] whenever I open something from Places, mplayer opens instead. There is already a bug filed, I was just wondering if anyone has fixed the same issue. [23:32] DVA5912, so have I, and I have tried half a dozen different things with it... each failed [23:32] bobbob1016: you filed the bug or someone else? [23:32] I'm running Ibex, partially fresh. Same /home reinstalled / [23:32] jrib, Someone else did [23:32] hey guys, how can I remove the shortcuts in the 'Places' menu? like movies, pictures... [23:32] bobbob1016: and nautilus doesn't start at all? [23:32] how can i install new theme in fluxbox from ubuntu? [23:32] Grey_Loki: i think its related to my file permisions. It is root root right? [23:33] bobbob1016: open nautilus > rightclick a folder > go to properties > click on tab 'open with' > select nautilus or something alike [23:33] rs-friends: check out the fluxbox docs [23:33] DVA5912: Apache runs with its own user (apache) so that one should have access as well. [23:33] jrib, I can start it manually, anything under the first seperator works. Going to try djiezes suggestion now [23:33] DVA5912, Warning: Unknown: failed to open stream: Permission denied in Unknown on line 0 ; Fatal error: Unknown: Failed opening required '/var/www/index.php' (include_path='.:/usr/share/php:/usr/share/pear') in Unknown on line 0 [23:34] Failed opening required '/var/www/index.php is what gives it off to me [23:34] anyone? I deleted the folders in my home directory so the ones in Places don't work anymore but they didn't go away [23:34] How many users are in this channel :| [23:34] where can i find the fluxbox docs,( i am new at fluxboxx) [23:34] I'm got Intrepid but the external audio not work. can you help me? [23:34] DVA5912: In case you don't care about the security of your webserver (i.e. you only use it for personal use) you can just chmod -r 777 /var/www [23:34] @DracNoc: Installed.. Now i have some new settings but they are not to do with a PIN. [23:34] rs-friends: http://fluxbox-wiki.org/index.php?title=Install_styles is what I found [23:34] ok thx m8 [23:35] @DracNoc: I see "Visibility settings" Hidden... Always Visible... Temporary visible... With a slider for the time to be visible. [23:35] MnemonicPunk: it is for developmental. but the stuff on it is going to be Hopefully sold so should i really 777 them? [23:35] I do not see why something so simple is broken. [23:35] @erisco:i'm not even seeing any lists i get downloading 64 of 64, after click check. then nothing listed, does this make sense? original kernel update crashed and did it manually [23:35] jrib, thanks for the tip. pdftk worked fine, so small but able to do much. [23:36] djiezes, Now my panel seems to be frozen. I'll try a killall gnome-panel [23:36] can you help me? [23:36] I am having a very strange problem with my internet connection for the last 2 weeks.

[23:36] hey how do i fix img_convert in ffmpeg [23:36] jclift26, if the update manager displays nothing then you are likely up-to-date [23:36] Hi. I updated to 8.10 and wireless doesn't work. The ESSIDs are shown, but when I try to connect and introduce the password, it doesnt connect [23:36] when comes 9.04 alpha 1? [23:36] DVA5912: It's just: If you chmod 777 them, anything on your PC can modify them. If that's fine for you, there's no problem. If you think someone who isn't allowed to might try to change something, better don't do it. [23:36] secion8: I'm struggling to remember what the controls were under Gnome. It's been months since I was last there... [23:36] bobbob1016: if that doesn't work, maybe restart X [23:36] jclift26, what does $sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade; tell you? [23:37] any progess for Ibex on the nVidia issues? [23:37] can I make a internet restart thing in fluxbox menu, like the icon in gnome, whenever the internet dies I have to go into gnome and restart it with the icon [23:37] MnemonicPunk: oh ok. then i think i might. [23:37] Gracia! [23:37] secion8: the only other thing that may help you are the bluez settings: sudo apt-get install bluez-gnome === brandon_ is now known as r3lapse [23:37] secion8: you'll find other tools there [23:37] Hi. I used to control my /ets/hosts file within NetworkManager in Hardy. Now that I've upgraded to Intrepid, I can't find the "hosts" tab. Any ideas? Thanks. [23:37] when comes 9.04 alpha 1? [23:37] the thing is it did tell me there was stuff 2 install. but i don't see the headers [23:37] MnemonicPunk: it was teh owner thing [23:38] hi [23:38] i made the owner www-data and it works [23:38] Can anyone confirm for me that libopenal-dev is missing from their 8.10 server? I just did a fresh install of 8.10, but this package doesn't seem to be in the repo I'm using. [23:38] exalted: "network preferences" [23:38] i have a .deb that installs as "stk" but that conflicts with the package "stk" [23:38] is there a way to change how a package is installed [23:38] DVA5912: Okay. =) [23:38] exalted: sorry, "network proxy" [23:39] jrib, I'm not sure if that's it. [23:39] can someone help me with this error i get when installing my video card drivers: http://pastebin.com/m667b715f [23:39] Now is there an error http://12.207.126.29/ [23:39] hey how do i fix img_convert in ffmpeg [23:39] is any program like krdc and krfb for Gnome ? [23:39] exalted: hrmm. True, you can only add stuff to localhost [23:40] @DracNoc: I am already using bluez-gnome.. It is default in ubuntu 8.10.. Which is probably the problem.. [23:40] jrib, proxy isn't what I'm looking for really. [23:40] the upgrade picked up stuff, update installed nothing, so guessing nothing to update? [23:40] exalted: don't know then :) [23:40] I downloaded WordPress from the Package Manager and now I can't find where it is or how to get it the Apache server. Any suggestions? === steelhoof_ is now known as steelhoof === savvas0 is now known as savvas_ [23:40] Wordpress is on the repos? O.o wow [23:41] rml_, dpkg -L wordpress [23:41] that will list the contents of a package you have installed [23:41] thanks for the help guys. could i ask 1more q. how do i get my dvd drive to work properly in the latest kernel hardy? [23:41] secion8: then I'm sorry, I can't help you any further. It seems to be a simple PIN problem, but none of the usual tricks seem to work. :( I can only suggest you play around with any of the programs provided until you find a setting that stops the need for a PIN - such as "Allow Everyone". [23:42] i get this error when installing my vid card drivers http://paste.ubuntu.com/66494/ [23:43] r3lapse: your card may be too old to use fglrx drivers. which ati card you have?

It is ok in batch mode, but in the terminal running the X server it is wrong. [23:44] its a farely new card [23:44] when comes 9.04 alpha 1? [23:44] wnstn: is it a router or a usb modem? [23:45] r3lapse: yes should be ok. your using intrepid? [23:45] legend2440, yes [23:45] wnstn: also, do you notice a difference when you use another operating system (if you do)? [23:45] savvas: cable modem. co-axial comes out of the wall into modem, then ethernet to comp. [23:45] yes works fine in windows [23:45] is it possible to downgrade 8.10 to 8.04? [23:46] krkster: downgrades are really hard to do [23:46] Hello, I have a shared HDD on my main desktop, I want to share that/open it on my ubuntu machine, How can i do that??? [23:46] does anybody else notice long boot times in 8.10? [23:46] savvas: another question, is it possible to somehow reinstall 8.04 but remotely [23:46] is it true instant messages cant be traced? [23:46] Evenin' folks [23:47] i don't have physical access to machine atm [23:47] Hello, I have a shared HDD on my main desktop, I want to share that/open it on my ubuntu machine, How can i do that??? [23:47] r3lapse: ok your card is good problem is intrepid uses xorg 7.4 and ati drivers are good only up to xorg 7.3 [23:47] sdfvdvf: Try #ubuntu-offtopic [23:47] legend2440, ah ok i see. thanks [23:47] they installed 8.10, with only sshd, but i really need 8.04 since i have to install plesk there [23:47] Vipsta, may you detail a bit ? (what kind of sharing, etc) [23:47] legend2440, im using ati drivers with 8.10 without issue [23:47] wnstn, do you have ipv6 enabled? [23:47] krkster: you could use debian netinst and change from there :) but I'm not sure, maybe someone else might help [23:47] heyo [23:47] Can someone recommend a good FTP server.. one that I can lock specific users into their own dirs???? [23:48] R_YoYo_R- my xubuntu boots up a bit faster than hardy. [23:48] Aquahallic: vsftpd is always good. [23:48] savvas_: thanks for the tip [23:48] got an interesting problem. [23:48] Aquahallic, proftpd ? [23:48] r3lapse: i have radeon 9600 and i used these instructions to get fglrx working http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Ubuntu_Intrepid_Installation_Guide#The_open_source_drivers [23:48] anyone here pretty familiar with how the fstab is used? [23:48] icesmurf: best to just ask the channel your question. If someone knows the answer, they will try to answer you [23:48] savvas: I think i disabled ipv6 a while ago because i was having similar issues. [23:48] Does anyone here know of a frontend to LVM? Last time I tried to do it myself, by shrinking my /home to grow root, I lost everything in /home - even after unmounted and marking the logical volume as inactive. Does anyone know of a frontend to LVM that is idiot proof? [23:48] specifically, i've created a helper app mount.myfilesystem [23:48] * lifestream asks: Anyone know how to make Prism remember the application icons? [23:48] vt: Just a shared HDD in vista, I can access it on other machines by going \\desktopname\h [23:48] which works nicely for "mounting" [23:48] kewl.. I'll have a look at those 2 [23:48] R_YoYo_R: you installed the ati proprietary drivers? [23:49] thx folks!! [23:49] legend2440, yes [23:49] but because the device is actually mounting an ext3 filesystem. [23:49] !enter | icesmurf [23:49] icesmurf: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [23:49] wnstn: can you execute in terminal: lspci [23:49] is there a way to force the helper to be called for unmounting only a particular filesystem. [23:49] for some reason when I put my computer into roaming mode it won't connect to my (hardwired) network -- dhclient won't resolve either, can anyone help me fix this? [23:49] Vipsta, usually I access to these sharing using smbclient. Search for "samba" on the Internet [23:49] fgjghjfgh [23:49] just paste output here? [23:49] wnstn: can you paste me the ethernet controller line? [23:49] i don't have USB 2.0, lsmod | grep ehci returns nothing. how can i fix this? running intrepid [23:50] R_YoYo_R: ok good. i havent tried them yet. i'm using open source because someone said i had to wait until they supported xorg 7.4 [23:50] i have the ati proprietary drivers installed [23:50] wnstn: not all the lines! :) [23:50] legend2440, there are patches that ubuntu included that makes it work [23:50] is anyone else having problems with their wireless modems and ibex? I'm currently using windows for support [23:50] savvas: 02:03.0 Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL-8139/8139C/8139C+ (rev 10) [23:50] after I upgraded from 8.04 to 8.10 I can't mount usb sticks and ext. disks without command line. I have an error message for dbus and hal error. anybody knows something about this? [23:51] R_YoYo_R: ok thanks good to know. i wonder why r3lapse is getting his error message [23:51] after a suspend/resume, flash videos (with flashplugin-nonfree) stop playing sound until i kill and reopen firefox... any ideas why? [23:51] wnstn: ok hold a sec [23:51] legend2440, i know on fedora 9 with 7.4 xorg its a no go .... it just worked no problem for me in 8.10 [23:52] my connection icon in ibex is gone. can someone help me? I'm using windows to request support [23:52] When I plug in my USB 2.0 drive, I'm getting "new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd" in dmesg. How can I force EHCI to be used? [23:52] R_YoYo_R: did you make the run file into deb files? is that the way you did it? [23:52] *it's not connected to the internet at the moment [23:53] i upgraded to intrepid, and everything went smoothly except under gnome the sound in firefox doesn't work and my video is misconfigured. i can't seem to get separate X screens to work anymore. [23:53] it's the first time I use Ubuntu, my friend gave me his old computer with it installed. do someone already experienced slowness with Radeon 9250 and "radeon" driver at 1024*768 ? (the fglrx driver gave me a fast 800x600) [23:53] legend2440, no i installed the restricted driver. ...already packaged in ubuntu [23:53] I never got sound to work [23:53] wnstn: go to www.pastebin.com and paste the output of this command: sudo lshw -C network [23:53] yeah i have the restricted driver installed, just thought id install the drivers from ati's website [23:53] wnstn: give me the link here afterwards [23:54] but yeah, anyone else having networking issues in ibex? [23:54] its no problem witht he restricted driver, everythings fine [23:54] ok hold on [23:54] vt: amd graphics cards have known issues with driver :) [23:54] r3lapse, in the end the result will be the same ... so whats the point of the ones from ati's web site? [23:54] R_YoYo_R, well i wasnt aware of that [23:54] r3lapse, the resticted driver is basically the drivers straight from ati [23:55] R_YoYo_R: oh ok i misunderstood. yes thats what i did r3lapse downloaded the ati drivers from their web site and is trying to install that way. maybe thats why he's having a problem [23:55] R_YoYo_R, i see i didnt know that [23:55] spanther, I read a bit yes. But I thought that the open-source driver was at least okay for basic 2D web-browsing :) [23:55] r3lapse: use these instructions http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Ubuntu_Intrepid_Installation_Guide#The_open_source_drivers [23:55] hey all - i upgraded 8.04 to 8.10 and now on boot the progress bar hangs mid way for about a minute. any ideas what this might be? [23:56] vt: well it depends on the used card :/ otherwise you have to use vesa [23:56] stage3, === Barberman_Bill is now known as runpain2 [23:56] luddite, im having boot issues with 8.10 as well [23:56] is anyone else here having problems installing skype on 8.10 intrepid? it keeps telling me there's another package manager running when i havent even started any programs yet. [23:56] stage3 [23:56] you there [23:57] WWWWWWWWWWWWWW3, it might be checking for updates ... [23:57] R_YoYo_R mmm - annoying isnt it [23:57] savvas: http://pastebin.com/m72d2b01c [23:57] no its not checking for updates [23:57] WWWWWWWWWWWWWW3, do you have any terminals open? [23:58] no none [23:58] luddite: no errors? edit the grub by pressing "Esc" key and then "e" key, "e" key again and remove the "quiet splash" entries, then try to save it and boot again "o" [23:58] can someone help me with my wireless problem (in ibex)? I'm using windows right now to ask for help [23:58] nobody have any problem with automount of usb disks on intrepid? [23:59] !anyone | dxdemetriou [23:59] dxdemetriou: 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? [23:59] is anyone else here having problems installing skype on 8.10 intrepid? it keeps telling me there's another package manager running when i havent even started any programs yet. [23:59] would there be any particular reason why my display never sleeps even though display in power management is set to sleep after 30min? [23:59] hey guys, I just did a fresh install of 8.10 and my wifi is not working, the acctess point is recognized but after 30-40 seconds of requesting a network address it fails, any ideas?, [23:59] wnstn: got it, hold a sec [23:59] @chuy, I'm having the same problem [23:59] the card is an AWU2000b, and I think it uses at76_usb module
