[00:04] what is better hardy , interpid [00:04] i tried w/ banshee and rythmbox after i change the name [00:04] runpain2, ubuntu still does not include any closed-source drivers in it. [00:04] 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. [00:04] runpain2: It's difficult to know offhand. You can email the kernel team, or just download the LiveCD and give it a try. [00:04] something like itunes [00:04] http://12.207.126.29/phpmyadmin how do i fix that. i have php5 and mysql server 5 installed but well [00:04] video or otherwise [00:04] anyone wanna try to help me with my sound blaster live card? i wanna get all my jacks to work [00:04] smokeymirror, amarok. [00:04] WWWWWWWWWWWWWW3, reboot and try to install again.... when that error appears a package manager is running somewhere .... period the end [00:04] where when you change the name in itunes, it renames and rearrange the folders [00:04] wsco: try both and see which one you like better === user__ is now known as SkinnYPuPp [00:05] WWWWWWWWWWWWWW3: That has nothing to do with skype. It's likely that update-manager is running (checking for updates), give it a few minutes, then try again.

Cubase, Reason and various video editing software for Ubuntu next, and it's bye bye Mr. Gates [00:06] DVA5912: He's just being difficult and taking up our time. Don't ask me why people are still talking tohim. [00:06] WWWWWWWWWWWWWW3, there's a package manager or some program that has a lock on that system. i believe you can blast out the lock file, but a reboot should fix any issues. you didn't really reboot did you....

[00:23] !What does Gnea mean by that? :) [00:23] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [00:23] DVA5912: I assure you, setting up amp on ubuntu is as simple as a few clicks and adding a couple lines to the config... you can't get simpler then that... find a better how to :P [00:23] cherrybomb0388, me too :) [00:23] Flannel, i saw that i just idnt think tasktel worked on my sys [00:23] anyone know how to disable knetworkmanager from starting up? gnome network manager is already starting up [00:23] xomp, ah, ok. because i had the black screen issue (i have an ati card), was confused as all hell, but then i unplugged my DVI cable and plugged my monitor back in with a CRT cable, and i was fine. but if you're already using analog, i don't know what to do :/ [00:23] is there a web-managed bittorrent client that is more lightweight than torrentflux?

[00:25] crdlb, lame! [00:25] nite_johnboy, just checked it now, I have nvidia-glx-new, nvidia-glx-new-dev, nvidia-kernel-common [00:25] crdlb, thanks though [00:26] dsbatista: So did you get it installed ok? [00:26] and here I thought ATI was getting better with linux :( [00:26] xomp: lulz [00:26] hmm [00:26] aside from using auto-login, is there a way to log a user in and start a gnome session on terminal 0, as if i were sitting at the console? [00:26] balz, I know, it's very lulzworthy :( I friggin' hate ATI :( [00:26] nite_johnboy, i would say yes, but it doesnt show up in restricted drivers :\ [00:27] what i dont like is that ubuntu looks ugly compared to windows. bloated interface, firefox bookmarks dont fit on the screen anymore as they did inwindwos. ugly fonts. everything looks like a bloated couch potato!! [00:27] why is this === patrick is now known as Guest69854 [00:27] wnstn: well.. it looks that yahoo takes longer, it's really weird you have speed problems, maybe because gmail loads javascript and yahoo does not use much from javascript in the mail interface? Can you try the speed again of gmail using the "Basic HTML" web-based manager? [00:27] qowao, it's customizable, highly customizable [00:27] xomp: yeah, the sad thing is it actually has gotten better lol. It still sucks though. What are you trying to do? [00:27] qowao, change what you don't like [00:27] bobboti: can you help me [00:27] where [00:27] its ugly [00:27] and too bloated [00:27] qowao: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [00:27] it's a trap [00:27] !enter | qowao [00:27] qowao: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [00:27] takes too much space on the screen [00:27] dsbatista: Sorry - not sure what to tell you what to do now - What model is your Nvidia card? [00:27] If an external hard disk is automatically mounted to /media/disk and I set permissions on /media/disk, does it write those permissions to the external hard disk or will they stay the same no matter what disk is on /media/disk?

Otherwise I get a black screen on boot. [00:28] qowao: you can also try a different desktop environment, and hopefully find one that suits you. [00:28] what is the best way to uninstall something you didn't install using synaptic [00:28] will play there bobboti [00:28] Hey everyone. After rebooting xine is not working for me. Amarok spits out "xine was unable to initialize any audio drivers". What caused this? [00:28] qowao, you can also get themes at gnome-look.org [00:28] prince_jammys: which one is nice? [00:28] rfxcasey: how did you install it... [00:28] PriceChild: which one is like windows? [00:28] qowao: matter of preference [00:28] in ibex, is there a way to vnc to the login screen? is there still an xorg vnc module? [00:28] xomp: oh. wow. yeah waaay beyond what i know about graphics and ubuntu [00:28] qowao, go with KDE since you're still a Windows fanboy :) [00:28] yes xomp?

[00:29] tsrk, ok thanks alot [00:29] dxdemetriou: ok do this: unplug the usb disk from the pc, wait a minute, plug it in again, wait 10-15 seconds (or for that error message to appear) and execute this command: dmesg | tail [00:29] <[Ramy]> I want you advice for a configurable joomla template, one has very wide of options. Please, help me I spent till now 2 hours searching ... :( [00:29] XxLordMaiestasxX, I don't have much experience with KDE though [00:29] XxLordMaiestrasxX: it's basically a difference of looks -- it's still the same backend, mostly [00:29] Has anyone else had xine issues lately?

[00:30] XxLordMaiestrasxX: i find that gnome tends to have better support in general [00:30] nite_johnboy, itrepid ibeck? no..whats that? [00:30] dxdemetriou: sorry, here: http://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+filebug [00:30] balz : this IRC seem to be the best support 24 hours [00:30] Ryan52: Upgrading from debian to ubuntu isn't really supported.

[00:30] Flannel: ugh. that's now what I'm saying.

[00:31] rfxcasey: I recommend finding that script and seeing if it provides a way to uninstall. [00:31] !computers [00:31] Sorry, I don't know anything about computers [00:31] savvas_: I give it a shot. It is a intermittent problem and it seems to only happen every other time I open the main google site. I am going to call my ISP tomorrow and see if it's a local thing. Thank you for all your help! :) [00:31] If an external hard disk is automatically mounted to /media/disk and I set permissions on /media/disk, does it write those permissions to the external hard disk or will they stay the same no matter what disk is on /media/disk?

[00:32] I just did a new install of release of 8.04 and i got everything to work except playing dvds. When I put the dvd in the player, the icon does not show up on the desktop. Any suggestions as to how to get it to play?

[00:37] bobboti, not a prob mate, thanks for trying [00:37] ok [00:37] nite_johnboy, I will reboot, brb [00:37] edney, !ask just makes the bot tell you to ask the question instead of asking to ask. [00:37] dxdemetriou: it could really be a bug related to hal package.. but I'm not sure, you could try unplug and plug the disk again while you have open one (or both in two terminals) these commands: "dbus-monitor --session" and "sudo dbus-monitor --system" (or plain, without sudo, like: dbus-monitor --system ) [00:37] Flare183, I haven't messed with kde much but it seems more comprehensive would you agree or disagree?

[00:39] XxLordMaiestasxX: mainly driver and X.org issues from what I have seen [00:39] XxLordMaiestasxX, just hang out here and read you'll get a good idea of what issues different people are having..

[00:43] rfxcasey, I can guarantee I have less experience than you, all I do is use this for basic irc, I haven't configured it much [00:43] rfxcasey: here's a really quick workaround, whenever you see your name, double-click on the sound file :) [00:43] edney : it jus a irc just mess around with it [00:43] tsrk, ok no problem [00:43] How come I can't play the video on: http://www.cnbc.com/id/24494689 [00:43] Hey, I'm having problems burning a DVD from an image I made.

[00:48] tsrk: i've done a few hours of Googleing on the subject, and I'm not pulling up anything except bug reports about the situation, so I'm not very hopeful that this particular regression is an easy fix, as was my 360 controller [00:48] mikejet : No problem [00:48] savvas_, Just kidding, thanks [00:48] remu, try the live cd [00:49] i think VMware is a good option [00:49] SilverStreak, I would help if I could but I don't know anything about it so I can't help, sorry [00:49] remu: sudo aptitude install kubuntu-desktop [00:49] chuy_max vmware seem good [00:49] rfxcasey: now seriously, do try something with the command mpg321, it was useful for me in irssi, I don't know in xchat though :\ [00:49] tsrk: it's alright, I'm just frustrated at all of Ibex's regressions [00:49] SilverStreak, I haven't had any yet but I guess I'm lucky [00:50] XxLordMaiestasxX, is VMware free? [00:50] chuy_max, the livecd is often slow, and not persistent [00:50] whos got the question on xchat? [00:50] tsrk: how do people use irc to download iso? [00:50] tsrk : U need to pay , but you can dl it on piratebay * wink [00:50] how do i revert to the rc1 kernel version after upgrading to the final release? [00:50] savvas_, say my name so I can see if this worked [00:50] tsrk, they have pretty confusing license. It's not free for commercial use etc., but you can get it to work for free personally. [00:50] savvas_, please [00:50] edney, what do you mean? [00:51] tsrk : it very safe , if u do get virus all u need to do is to restore the image === x-mue is now known as mue [00:51] yoyoned: if I do it that way, will sudo aptitude remove kubuntu-desktop properly, completely, and cleanly get rid of it all, including the config stuff in home? [00:51] if you go to xchat preferences go System>Preferences>Chatting>Alerts, then enter your name [00:51] tsrk : and u can run diffrent os in it [00:51] XxLordMaiestasxX + cabrioleur, is there any advantage of VMware over VirtualBox? [00:51] tsrk: i mean download files using mirc [00:51] tsrk : More stable [00:51] XxLordMaiestasxX, I know what VMware is, I've used it a fair bit on XP [00:51] hi. how do i set a static ip for my wired connection? i keep getting an error when it try to set it. [00:51] tsrk, both are good [00:51] hey can someone say my nick so I can see if I got the sound notify correct? [00:51] edney, I didn't know that's possible, sorry [00:51] rfxcasey, [00:51] tsrk : More stable , safer for surfing (That what i had heard from experts [00:52] darn it didn't work [00:52] tsrk, not really. [00:52] tsrk : And most security professional use VMware [00:52] tsrk: you just use mirc as chat? [00:52] hi [00:52] rfxcasey: sorry was away, how about now? :) [00:52] I've had several regressions, including: gamepads with analog sticks acting like mice (fixable with a HAL entry), DVDs won't burn (is my /tmp directory too small?), Rhythmbox will no longer play media directly from MTP devices, my SD card reader which worked before doesn't work, and my volumeup/down buttons cause an infinite loop (they don't send keyup events) of keypresses, which locks the keyboard and forces me to restart x. [00:52] Gods_gift, XxLordMaiestasxX, the most important things to me are good integration, USB support, and networking since I'll just use it for iTunes and possibly activesync/outlook [00:52] would there be any particular reason why my display never sleeps even though display in power management is set to sleep after 30min? [00:52] edney, I use xchat, not mIRC [00:52] XxLordMaiestasxX, sure, because it's a traditional software which was on the market for quite a bit. VBox is gaining popularity now. [00:52] dxdemetriou: file a bug with the information from dbus-monitor :) [00:53] remu: no. It will leave junk behind. But if you create a new user, and only use KDE for that user, there will be no config files created. Or just use live cd [00:53] cabrioleur : Will give a good look on VBox [00:53] cabrioleur : Thanks for the info [00:53] anyone run into any problems with the exhcange 07 connector for evolution in the new release? [00:53] savvas_, no can you hit me again please [00:53] * savvas_ hits rfxcasey [00:53] :P [00:53] Using four monitors, two X screens with twinview enabled on each, I have problems. Normally, if I add a monitor on one monitor, it stays there. The twinview second monitor has its own panel. However, in this setup, the panel extends to both monitors. Also, the logon screen and lock screen is centered between both the first and second monitor, rather than just going on the first monitor like it should [00:53] All I'm wondering is: where would you guys suggest I file a bug report in? [00:53] savvas_, no this is frustrating [00:53] many of said regressions have had bugs filed, and some of them are simple fixes, but I haven't seen any updates yet [00:53] can you give me the links again? [00:53] savvas_, can you give me the links again? [00:53] tsrk: but it is not equal? [00:53] cabrioleur : do u have a link or something for the webpage [00:54] dxdemetriou: http://pastebin.com/m460c8d64 http://pastebin.com/m5c9a8fc0 [00:54] dsbatista: I see you're back on now - get your Nvidia to show up ? [00:54] savvas_, sorry, I mean for the file bug [00:54] tsrk ; Well i know of many free one but so far VMware seem to be looking the most stable from what i had read up [00:54] dxdemetriou: bugs: http://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+filebug [00:54] nite_johnboy, I was booting with another kernel, since I installed ubuntu audio studio, I got the rt-kernel [00:54] when i put a dvd in the dvd player the icon to show that its loaded does not appear. what is this a sign of? I can play cd and the icon does appear for cds. [00:54] can anyone tell me why my source site won't add? [00:54] dxdemetriou, you sure you don't need xinerama to fix what you describe? [00:55] nite_johnboy, so it got mixed up, real time and generic...but its working now for real time kernel [00:55] savvas_, not yet one do it again please [00:55] * savvas_ throws a dirty magazine at rfxcasey [00:55] savvas_, can I message my self [00:55] nite_johnboy, thanks your time and patience :) [00:55] tsrk, try vmware , download from another warez [00:55] on boot i have old installs- i removed the libux-images from synaptic but now wih to remove some older ones that are not in synaptic - how do i do this? [00:55] rfxcasey: well, messaging yourself is possible in irc I think [00:55] rfxcasey [00:55] wih = wish [00:55] can anyone tell me why my source site won't add to the source list? [00:55] would there be any particular reason why my display never sleeps even though display in power management is set to sleep after 30min? [00:56] dsbatista: Cool - good to hear it - Linux can be so much more exacting then windows - but that's ok - way allot better by far by far [00:56] luddite: remove the older packages. They should all be in synaptic: linux-image-[version]-arch [00:56] ok guys gtg [00:56] thanks all [00:56] luddite: edit /boot/grub/menu.lst [00:56] Flannel - ok ill look again. thanks [00:56] been a great help [00:56] Using four monitors, two X screens with twinview enabled on each, I have problems. Normally, if I add a monitor on one monitor, it stays there. The twinview second monitor has its own panel. However, in this setup, the panel extends to both monitors.

[00:56] dsbatista: np [00:56] All I'm wondering is: where would you guys suggest I file a bug report in? [00:56] i got ubuntu, and then i wanted to test out kubuntu, but i hate it, and all its applications, so i want to delete kde and all its dependencies all kde related applications and everything else that works centric to kde. how do i do that [00:56] nite_johnboy, yes I've been using it since a couple of years :) c ya around! [00:56] dmsuperman: a bug report for what/ [00:56] i've already done apt-get remove kubuntu-kde4-desktop === nintendork87 is now known as Guest43336 [00:56] Has anyone here had problems with pidgin crashing on 8.10? [00:56] so pls help [00:57] not i. [00:57] rfxcasey, [00:57] yoyoned: The fact that twinview doesn't seem to work properly. Panels extending to both monitors when it should only be on one, etc. [00:57] blak, you use it on 8.10? === Guest43336 is now known as nintendork87 [00:57] polk_: open synaptic, search for kde, and remove packages [00:57] tsrk, yes [00:57] tsrk, that crash when u are using 2protol and change themes [00:57] scunizi, what can I do with it? [00:57] blak, how many accounts do you have signed on at once? [00:57] tsrk, it's been up for a week straight. [00:57] can someone say my name so I can get my sounds straight [00:57] polk_: on 8.04, right? [00:57] only one [00:58] Gods_gift, I don't change themes [00:58] dxdemetriou, sorry.. It was ment for another nick.. [00:58] !puregnome | polk_ [00:58] rfxcasey [00:58] polk_: If you want to remove all !KDE packages and have a default !Ubuntu system follow the instructions here « http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/puregnome » [00:58] tsrk, maybe u have a lot people online [00:58] in gnome, when i alt-tab, i just see a blank square where an icon should be. how do i fix that? [00:58] rfxcasey, [00:58] I have 8 accounts on [00:58] Flannel: 8.10 [00:58] but i guess it applies the same way [00:58] thats a few [00:58] tsrk, i have 2 working fine [00:58] with msn and gtalk [00:59] can anyone tell me why my source site won't add to the source list? [00:59] Gods_gift, I have 8 accounts and maybe 60 people online, could that be why? [00:59] or should it still be stable? [00:59] dmsuperman, twinview typically extends like you describe.. you might need xinerama to make it do what you want.. if you're using nvidia and have installed nvidia-settings, it should give you an easy method of turning it on and off. [00:59] hello folks [00:59] carpeliam, did you try to change your icon theme? Are you using some custom one? [00:59] scunizi: It's never done that for me. When I had dual monitor, I used twinview and everything worked just fine [01:00] rfxcasey, [01:00] carpediem1, are you using compiz? [01:00] scunizi: Only when I added a second screen with a second instnace of twinview did it start doing it this way [01:00] carpeliam are you using compiz? [01:00] any one have an idea on how to get the rear speakers working with a AUDIGY 4 card? [01:00] cabrioleur, i installed cairo-dock [01:00] scunizi: The real problem comes with fullscreen video. Half of the screen is black, the other half shows half the video [01:00] If an external hard disk is automatically mounted to /media/disk and I set permissions on /media/disk, does it write those permissions to the external hard disk or will they stay the same no matter what disk is on /media/disk? [01:00] which may have changed some things [01:00] hey guys, just did a fresh ubuntu install. installed ATI drivers successfully. but, if i try to enable compiz, the system freezes. any ideas? [01:00] dmsuperman, that is weird.. like I said.. try xinerama [01:01] scunizi: Xinerama won't let me use compiz, though [01:01] my 8.10 runs perfect! [01:01] hey [01:01] hey [01:01] hey kanoth [01:01] how can i see my drives and partitions ?

I have extracted the alternate install iso to the root of a new partition and also created a grub menu entry so I can boot from that partition... however, the installer still complains there is no cd-rom drive (which there isn't) when it should be realizing all the data is on the partition [01:03] anyone have ideas how to get the rear speakers working ? === sebske is now known as SebsKe|afk [01:03] envy is on the sinaptic repository..yes you must install the accelerated drivers for it [01:03] so, really, how can I mount that partition to /cdrom in the virtual installer filesystem? every time I try mount /dev/sda1 /cdrom it says it was an invalid argument [01:03] stupid question maybe, how can i see what version will be installed during an upgrade? [01:04] RabidLockerGnome: envy is on the sinaptic repository..yes you must install the accelerated drivers for it [01:04] slacker_nl: What version are you on now? [01:04] slacker_nl-> read the download site? [01:04] slacker_nl: Or, do you mean package versions itself?

[01:08] Flannel: i upgraded all of my packages. the problem is that one of the mythbuntu packages (i dont know which) messes with my login configuration [01:08] kevin083: yes [01:09] that issue is just for legacy cards rigfht? [01:09] I might have found the problem with with my install [01:09] sparr: Ah, configuration. I'm not sure. You might try asking the mythbuntu people in #ubuntu-mythtv [01:10] sparr: login configuration? [01:11] sparr: what do you mean by that? [01:11] who creates those cool ubuntu backgrounds and are there more? [01:11] slacker_nl: when i boot, it logs in as user "mythtv" automagically. then when i exit mythtv's WM so i can see the gdm login screen, it tries to log in as mythtv again after 30 seconds [01:11] hey everybody, any news with geforce4 and 8.10?

[01:13] RabidLockerGnome: try to unninstall it and try again.... theres a guide on envy to do it [01:13] nmh: I already set it up but I don't know the hot keys [01:13] is there a fix for the bug where my ath/eth devices keep getting higher numbers? [01:13] ThersiT: realy? [01:13] RabidLockerGnome: if you could not get it tell me ill try to help you [01:13] ThersiT: did you run aptitude update before you want to install the package? [01:13] deftone: use the config manager to set them to whatever you want (I had to switch off the panel mode to get it) [01:13] ello [01:14] thx prince_jammys [01:14] any ideas on why newly created windows (app and dialog boxes) are displayed under existing ones? [01:14] which one do you use prince_jammys [01:14] deftone: you might try ctrl-alt and then left mouse click and drag [01:15] qowao: between the availability of different desktop environments, and all the themes, you should be able to get something you like. i agree that default look isn't all that great.

[01:17] deftone: you need more workspaces, right-click on the workspace switcher applet [01:17] alright, thanks. brb [01:17] ThersiT: aptitude search is what I would do [01:17] how do i use the usb maker thingy? it just sits there when it is supposed to making it, bar never even shows up [01:17] Nautilus is getting worse every new ubuntu. It used to automatically reconnect to sftp's on disconnection in feisty. in hardy it would show an error and redirect to home so you could just press back to reconnet. in intrepid it closes. this is so annoying [01:17] ha ha ha....that was it! thanks [01:18] I keep getting an error in the Deluge webUI: paste.ubuntu.com/66525 Can anybody help me interpret the output?

[01:22] hey there people, upgrade issue: my upgrade through Update Manager froze like 2 minutes from the end. When I rebooted, it gave me an error saying that the X config file had an incorrect format. I finished off the remaining updates be running "dpkg --configure -a" and now I don't get any errors, but gnome just sits there with a spinning wheel mouse icon forever when I boot, anything I can run to try to fix that? Pressing Alt-F2 d [01:22] edney, radeon 9600 [01:22] daedra: and all the tests are ANDed together, so find . ! -name foo.tgz -name '*.tgz' -exec .... should do it. put an 'echo' before 'rm' to verify. [01:22] prince_jammys: ok nice one :) [01:23] RabidLockerGnome: its a good card...=] [01:23] Anyone have problems with phonon crashing with a SIGABRT?

[01:23] hey guys [01:24] i installed squirrel mail and roundcube but it cant seem to login to any [01:24] RabidLockerGnome: there are worst cards than your, its good believe me...in brazil people still use nvidia mx 4000..it sucks.. [01:25] scratch that. I just created a new user and it works fine, so I must have a confused user settings folder somewhere [01:25] prince_jammys: rm: cannot remove directory `.' [01:25] lol edney, i think im going to go the manual route, because envy's just going to install the fglrx driver that ubuntu did the first time [01:25] that is the echo [01:25] can anyone tell me if ubuntu 8.10 now has support for existing encrypted partitions? [01:25] anyone know how to use the ring switcher? [01:25] hay [01:26] daedra: hm. what command? [01:26] prince_jammys: I tried it on a scrap directory and it did work, it just produced that output [01:26] deftone, what is the problem then? [01:26] prince_jammys: find . ! -name \*.tgz -exec rm {} \; [01:26] edney, i have the step up fx5200 in my server, nothing wrong with those old nvidia cards :P [01:26] application switching [01:26] hi .. i have trouble connecting to wireless network on sony vaio pc .. ............ lspci gives Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 3945ABG [Golan] Network Connection [01:26] billybigrigger, my 5200 works decently [01:26] prince_jammys: it deleted everything but the *.tbz like I wanted [01:26] daedra: that will try to remove EVERYTHING except for .tgz [01:26] i want to use the ring switcher but i dont' know how to use it [01:27] billybigrigger, why do you have a GPU in your server? lol [01:27] RabidLockerGnome: ok..so the driver is not the problem...try to install compiz from sinaptic after install the drivers..good lucky..fx 5200 are good but the mx series;;;the suck [01:27] daedra: use -type f to limit it to files only (no dirs) [01:27] prince_jammys: but also tried to remove the parent directory :D [01:27] deftone, activate the plugin in compiz, check the bindings, use it? [01:27] edney, perhaps i should install compiz from the launchpad ppa? [01:27] prince_jammys: oh ok. so it would have even removed subdirs if they were in my test directory [01:28] daedra: no, it would have given errors. rm with no options can't remove dirs [01:28] RabidLockerGnome: hum i dont know...try to look for it on ubuntu comunity on www.orkut.com [01:28] so the complete command is find . -type f ! -name \*.tgz -exec rm {} \; [01:28] MaT-dg: how do i check the bindings?

[01:28] daedra: looks good. it's a good idea to -exec echo rm {} \; to first see the commands that WOULD be run (with echo) [01:29] deftone, do you have the compizconfig settings manager installed? [01:29] edney, thx [01:29] RabidLockerGnome: i have to go now..bye..... and get my msn: edney_helene@hotmail.com [01:29] dsmith_: SYSTEM >> PREFERENCES >> APPEARENCE [01:29] yes i do...i have the window up right now [01:29] prince_jammys: yeah that's a safe idea [01:29] daedra: lest you accidentally cause mass destruction [01:29] haha [01:29] RabidLockerGnome: you are welcome [01:29] how do i increase FONT size of application and WINDOWS in Ubuntu? [01:29] ??? [01:29] deftone, ok I assume u have the plugin activated then as well [01:29] dsaddas: SYSTEM >> PREFERENCES >> APPEARENCE [01:29] yes i do [01:29] and a -v flag on the rm to see what would have happened [01:29] I'm not concerned about my appearence's [01:29] :P [01:29] MaT-dg: where in apearaence ? [01:29] Alright, i just looked up this pkg I'm tring to install on packages.ubuntu.com and it is in hardy back ports.. is there something extra i need to do to install from there? [01:29] actually that wouldn't work [01:29] heh [01:29] hmmm [01:30] MaT-dg:i was in it and cannot find it [01:30] deftone, click on it to view and edit ettings [01:30] isn't it alt+tab? [01:30] daedra: right, because you're not really running 'rm' when you echo. you just echo the commands to verify [01:30] settings* [01:30] ThersiT: You need to enable the backports, yes. [01:30] prince_jammys: rm -vi [01:30] MaT-dg: view and edit seting? There none like this [01:30] dsaddas: how about SYSTEM >> PREFERENCES >> APPEARENCE >> FONTS ?

[01:50] vedus, stuff like that is supposed to all be auto-detect these days, but never hurts to try falling back to manual mode ;) [01:50] matisse, your question was not specific enough. error logs for WHAT [01:51] the system wide one [01:51] I was wondering when flashplayer10 final comes out. the flash game yoville does not work in flashplayer10 RC that Ubuntu ships, and I thought they would be more likely to fix the game to work with an offical version of flash. any one know any thing about this??? [01:51] yeah. I found it odd that it was doing it with an Microsoft Intellimouse and a basic Logictech portable mouse. [01:51] matisse, they are in /var/log [01:51] thx [01:51] Do I need to download a special decoder to listen to last.fm through Amarok?

I hear the login sound, and if I put my pointer to the top of the page I can see the very tip of it. Do you think it is my nVidia driver, or a problem with 8.10. 8.10 is the only version I have installed on the computer lately. All I know is that the computer is a Gateway GT4010, 1GB RAM, 200GB HD, AMD Processor. [01:59] can anybody do PPTP vpn connections? [02:00] DarkKnight, why so swift? [02:00] How can I convert a png with a transparent background to a png with a white background using imagemagick? [02:00] DarkKnight: sudo apt-get upgrade swiftweasel?

It freezes at "starting bluetooth"... [02:00] JaDude: nice, what was it? [02:01] JaDude: the problem, that is [02:01] musikgoat: i forgot i installed firestarter [02:01] kamekun, reproductor? [02:01] musikgoat; thanx [02:01] JaDude: ahh, that would do it [02:01] ryanakca, image magick has a ton of docs on their website. rtfm [02:01] DarkKnight: np [02:01] Rubin: Should I download the older version? [02:01] of nVidia [02:01] musikgoat: i had it disabled but it seemed to kick in when server reboot === |_ocke is now known as locke [02:01] Spaz926, not sure. could also be auto-detecting something wrong [02:01] xomp all, totem,vlc and mplayer [02:01] JaDude: that would explain why recovery worked [02:02] Spaz926, maybe try https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/Nvidia [02:02] during boot Configuring network interfaces takes ages - any ideas how to fix? [02:02] kamekun, likely a driver problem. What sort of video card you have?

[02:02] xomp i have a ATI, with the restricted drivers [02:03] musikgoat: i tried setting up squirrelmail but i get an error when i try to login [02:03] luddite: maybe you could give your machine a static ip address, it may be requesting dhcp [02:03] kamekun, hmm, I too have an ATI with restricted drivers. I've not experienced any fps lag on videos though :( [02:03] JaDude: cant really help with those other than suggesting google :-) [02:03] can anyone help me with: http://paste.ubuntu.com/66524/ [02:03] Hi all. Has any one had a problem playing Blockbuster DVDs? I have libdvdread, libdvdnav and libdvdcss and I can watch any other DVD I've tried. But the last three movies I've rented haven't work in either my desktop or laptop, both running 8.04 [02:03] yea i am thinking of removing them and go from scratch [02:03] wigren, blockbuster doesnt have special dvds compared to other dvds [02:04] Rubin: why even say rtfm? why not just say: have you checked there wedpage; I think they have a lot of doc on there? and just leave it at that; rtfm is rude and not constructive. [02:04] Is there a way to script the automatic install of java without it prompting for the license agreement? [02:04] JaDude: i haven't had the pleasure of setting up a mailserver for user access, but i wish you the best of luck [02:04] xomp, how i now if maybe i need other codecs or something like tha [02:04] rubin: Thats what I thought. [02:05] mmmiiikkkeee, i ment no offence, rtfm is just geek saying. not ment to be rude [02:05] musikgoat; i tried the command...but i dont c any changes [02:05] kamekun, not sure, I know if I have a missing codec totem usually prompts to install :/ [02:05] !rtfm | Rubin [02:05] Rubin: Acronyms or statements like noob, jfgi, stfu, or rtfm are not welcome in this channel. Period. [02:05] xomp: you "finally got ati working in Intrepid" any tips? x is loading for me. but glxinfo and fglrxinfo segfault after running. and performance is really slow. [02:05] * Rubin rolls eyes [02:05] DarkKnight: then you have the most update version that ubuntu supports, why do you need to update? [02:05] rubin : musikgoat: http://paste.ubuntu.com/66545/ is interfaces and dhcp is on but has never been a issue before [02:05] *upgrade? [02:06] luddite: do you get your ip from a router? [02:06] Rubin: changing mouse settings back to manual resolved. Thank you. [02:06] luddite, i dont understand why you have it set to dhcp there but also are providing an address [02:06] musikgoat yes i do [02:06] vedus, great! [02:06] nottha_k, yeah, I went to the "Hardware Drivers" section and there was a driver sitting in there waiting for me to install/activate it. Once that was done all is good :D Compiz working with no problems and all that ;) === JesusCore2 is now known as JeremyToo [02:06] musikgoat; i m getting reports that there's a new update 2 swiftweasel..the version is 3.03.....and the one I am using is 3.0 [02:06] rubin - so i can delete the interfaces IP? [02:06] Rubin: Do you think installing 8.04 and seeing what happens would be a good idea? Do you think it could work? [02:06] luddite, make a backup first ;) [02:06] luddite: i agree with ruben, why not just set it to static [02:06] xomp, right.. i try to see with mplayer changing the -vo to gl and see better, how i can change de video out put on totem? [02:07] nottha_k, what is listed as the driver in your /etc/X11/xorg.conf ? [02:07] Spaz926, sure why not [02:07] luddite: Try "sudo ifconfig eth0 192.168.1.172" [02:07] I'm using bluetooth to connect my cell to my ubuntu instance, to transfer data to Bitpim. This works fine. But my PC apparently is telling my phone that it is a headset. So, when I get a call, the phone doesn't have any sound or microphone active, and apparently neither does the PC. What am I doing wrong? [02:07] luddite: Then try pinging 192.168.1.1 [02:07] how do i restart my internet with fluxbox? [02:07] Rubin: you just givin' me an answer to get me off your back? [02:07] I dont wish to set to static Rubin / musikgoat : because i use a lan at work and wifi at home [02:07] musikgoat; the stupidity of mozilla is that though swiftweasel is a product of mozilla...u dont find any contents abt swiftweasel [02:07] what does this error mean? http://paste.ubuntu.com/66524/ [02:07] complexity_: /etc/init.d/networking restart [02:07] anyone got a hercules webcam silver workin? [02:07] Spaz926, video stuff is hard to troubleshoot. you kinda gotta try stuff till you figure it out [02:07] boozkachu : ok [02:08] complexity_: sudo /etc/init.d/network[tab] restart (hit the tab key, and the rest of the name will be filled in automatically) [02:08] Rubin: Okay, thanks. I'll try some things then. [02:08] luddite, comment it out entirely and use the gnome network manager thingy instead [02:08] Spaz926, are you on a CRT monitor? could be a resolution problem too [02:08] complexity_: you'll also have to enter that from a terminal -- no gui in fluxbox of which I am aware [02:08] DarkKnight: that means that there are newer versions the moz has made, but ubuntu hasn't packaged, if there are reasons to build your own package, like some features you want, then find instructions on building swiftweasel from source [02:08] Rubin: No, it's LCD [02:09] Rubin - ok. will try now and log off but what exactly do i comment out? [02:09] Spaz926, ahh k [02:09] boozkachu : 64 bytes from 192.168.1.172: icmp_seq=3 ttl=64 time=0.030 ms [02:09] DarkKnight: but otherwise, usually its not worth the trouble [02:09] kamekun, Press ALT+F2 and give "gstreamer-properties" Select the Video tab and check what driver is used for the Default Output. [02:09] JeremyToo, nope that does not work , and if i do ifconfig eth2 up it does not work eather i have to open gnome and click the little icon for it to work [02:09] luddite, everything after and including iface eth0 [02:09] luddite: cool [02:09] Rubin: 1024x768 [02:09] complexity_: how many NICs do you have in that box?

[02:10] NIGGER [02:10] luddite, yes [02:10] OMG [02:10] two JeremyToo and I am only using one right now, If i can ever figure out this mess I would like to set up this box as a router [02:10] ok [02:10] will reboot now [02:10] brb [02:10] Rubin: Yes, it's my grandmothers. [02:10] Hi. Does anyone know a program to catalog files? [02:10] luddite, what that will do is nolonger setup network on boot, but rather when gnome starts instead [02:10] !language | nomg [02:10] nomg: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [02:10] complexity_: well, if you've got a DHCP server on your network, you can just do: sudo dhclient NAMEOFNIC === sieb is now known as Juice87 [02:11] Spaz926, a lot has changed since then [02:11] Rubin: you would want network on boot though [02:11] complexity_: that should get an IP address and set up your route for you. Typically, ethernet cards are numbered starting at 0, so you'd have eth0 and eth1 [02:11] musikgoat; sounds interesting???? u a hacker?? [02:11] boozkachu, depends on the situation [02:11] DarkKnight: no [02:11] hmm [02:11] Rubin: I know, what command to find what version of GNOME? [02:11] musikgoat; u have any specific role in the ubuntu community... [02:12] DarkKnight: nope [02:12] gnome-panel is uh... gone. can somebody help? [02:12] xomp, is auto detect [02:12] ya weird JeremyToo I upgraded to intrepid and it called it eth2 [02:12] alt-f1 and alt-f2 do not work, but the ps command says gnome-panel is running [02:12] part [02:12] anyone with experience in installing an ati graphics card? on a laptop. [02:12] how can I debug dpkg errors? === lakitu2 is now known as lakitu [02:13] Spaz926, its not gnome you need to work with i dont think. its the nvidia driver. so one thing you could do is hard-code the 'nv' driver in /etc/xorg.conf [02:13] Does anyone why my computer slows down when I play flash movies? [02:13] kamekun, you can change what codec is used for video output there. Prank around and change them one at a time and playback the movie to see if there are any better performance perks to them :) [02:13] Angel, Intrepid 64 bits? [02:13] 32 bit [02:13] Angel: what version of flash? [02:13] Rubin: I think that is what I did for Fedora Core 4. [02:13] Spaz926, there ya go then :) [02:13] Hello everyone [02:13] complexity_: I don't upgrade anymore. Too much weirdness. Clean installs, then xfer data over.

[02:14] My Sound Card is not working :( can anyone help me plsssssssssssssss [02:14] angusthefuzz: Umm first one when firefox tells you it is required.. [02:14] iamheinrich: yeah. just use the default radeon drivers and make sure you set AccelMethod EXA in your xorg.conf [02:14] xomp: fglrx. I went to hardware, and my ati driver was activated but not currently in use. I'm going to try deactivating and activating it [02:14] iamheinrich, i have never seen a laptop that you could install graphics cards into... [02:14] angusthefuzz: I think it is orignal one. [02:14] nottha_k, I believe that's what I had to do too, then reboot and everything was cherry! [02:14] Angel: http://www.macromedia.com/software/flash/about/ [02:15] Angel: flash 9 caused some slowdowns for me, but version 10 has not yet had any problems [02:15] so last night I used "shutdown -h 1:00" and went to bed. it seemed to shutdown fine. but when I turned the computer back on gnome-panel is completely borked [02:15] angusthefuzz: 10,0,12,36 [02:15] jj_galvez, that looks quite nasty. are you out of disk space or something? [02:16] Cycom thnx=) [02:16] Angel: we have the same version, did you notice a slowdown in the past? [02:16] Rubin: Nope I've got tuns of space [02:16] Is it possible to update my bios with a usb thumbdrive? [02:16] HEY [02:16] you ubuntubbies are so cute [02:16] OMG YES [02:16] goodmami: that command isn't correlated, as in its a very common command, but rebooting could have caused some other problem [02:16] * tonyb486 pets musikgoat [02:16] jj_galvez, unable to create `./usr/lib32/libGL.so.1.2': No such file or directory <-- seems to be the key error === patrick is now known as Guest11135 [02:16] jj_galvez, is that a 64bit install? [02:16] angusthefuzz: I just reinstalled ubuntu === steelhoof_ is now known as steelhoof [02:16] which program would you guys recommend for me to remotely access my ubuntu computer from my mac? [02:16] Rubin: yes its 64bit [02:17] angusthefuzz: first time on this pc. [02:17] jj_galvez, do you have a /usr/lib32/ directory? [02:17] * musikgoat is not sure how he feels about that, off-topic? [02:17] Angel: is the hardware older? [02:17] My sound Card not working :( can anyone help me pls [02:17] musikgoat: is there anything I could do to diagnose what's wrong with gnome-panel? [02:17] install debian [02:17] acrousey, any sftp scp program [02:17] Cycom I heard my graphics card is a bitch to install...well...all ATI seems to suck^^ [02:17] xomp, thanks not fix the problem but it see to better than before [02:17] Rubin: yes that folder is present [02:17] Angel: please run this in a terminal and tell me if it says yes or no: glxinfo | grep "direct" [02:17] iamheinrich: a) language! this is a family friendly channel [02:17] angusthefuzz: if got a satellite a105-s2081 [02:17] my /etc/menu-methods/fvwm-crystal is very slow, makes installing new packages take a lot longer. any solution other than removing that script? [02:17] angusthefuzz: ok [02:17] goodmami: what is up with gnome-panel? [02:18] jj_galvez, maybe a corrupt copy? try apt-get clean; then apt-get install ia32-libs again (sudo both) [02:18] iamheinrich: b) the default radeon drivers work pretty darn well [02:18] rubin: thanks! [02:18] goodmami: The act of shutting down is the culprit, that command is nothign special. [02:18] kamekun, cool, I'm a ubuntu noob so I'm not the best to give advice but it seemed logical :) if you stick around and continue to ask I'm sure someone can offer a better answer :) [02:18] since update-modules is now deprecated, what should I use after modifying /etc/modprobe.d? [02:18] Cycom? language? [02:18] yoo!! can someone help me with my sound card? i want to enable all the audio jacks instead of just having line out enabled EX: enable black(sub) orange(mic) and darg green(?) [02:18] anyone free to help me ?? [02:18] Cycom language? is my english bad?^^ [02:18] acrousey, sshd is not enabled by default, so you will want to install that [02:18] iamheinrich: be careful. the don't like anything that couldn't make it into a kids show [02:18] iamheinrich: no swearing, etc. [02:18] musikgoat: the first time I logged in it was unresponsive, then i ctrl-alt-bksp logged out and back in again, and it disappeared [02:18] Rubin: I thought of that at first too, did that a couple of time already no good same error, even downloaded the deb from several different locations with the same results [02:18] yea ubuntu's too complicated, i'm going back to mac [02:19] LOL [02:19] Cycom Ah I'm sorry [02:19] Hey, I have a network device that mounted for mythtv, but for some reason it causes it to hang when rebooting, if i do /etc/init.d/NetworkManager stop. and then reboot, it works fine so I am trying to add the command /etc/init.d/NetworkManager stop to when the computer shuts down, i tried adding it to a scrtipt in /etc/rc0.d but for some reason it is executing [02:19] rubin: I think i see a place to download it [02:19] NOOB [02:19] musikgoat: "ps -A | grep gnome-panel" shows it is running, though [02:19] jj_galvez, try this: sudo touch /usr/lib32/test [02:19] iamheinrich: no big deal, I've made the same mistake. Just don't want you kickbanned [02:19] musikgoat: but alt-f1 and alt-f2 do not work [02:19] goodmami: goodmami is it repeatable after another reboot? [02:19] :( [02:19] but in any case, it works really well. 3d and all! [02:19] lets just go back to macs [02:19] Rubin: did that no errors [02:20] iamheinrich: the AccelMethod EXA is just to get video playback working right. [02:20] xomp, i do tha before but seen for now no other person can help me with this. [02:20] this is my third reboot (eg, first time unresponsive, second two times it's gone) [02:20] yo [02:20] does anyone have a nzb for interpid? [02:20] Cycom Thank you=) I'm not a kid only a little annoyed that I'm not better at Ubuntu by now^^ [02:20] my sound is very quiet [02:20] My sound Card not working :( can anyone help me pls [02:20] jj_galvez, huh. you do anything weird to anything? like /etc/apt/* ? [02:20] i have it maxed in alsamixer and the sound applet and the program i am using [02:20] how can i start NetworkManager from the command-line? [02:20] goodmami: what happens when you sudo killall gnome-panel [02:20] !alsa | phpstar [02:20] phpstar: 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 [02:20] Xomp i tired [02:20] iamheinrich: I understand. It's time consuming to learn linux. it's still not 'install and go' easy yet, but it's getting close. [02:20] ericjung: sudo /etc/init.d/NetworkManager start [02:20] tried [02:20] rubin / musikgoat : THANKS GUYS- works perfect now. All is super fast loading and wifi connects as per usual now - cheers guys [02:20] ericjung, NetworkManager :P [02:20] goodmami: it should auto restart [02:20] luddite: yw [02:20] phpstar, I'm tired too! lol [02:21] angusthefuzz thanks [02:21] :-) [02:21] Rubin thanks [02:21] lol sorry [02:21] luddite, yay. just remember at work now, you gotta be logged in and use the applet to connect [02:21] Cycom so all I need is the Ati drivers and change the AccelMethod EXA? [02:21] i fixed it, the advanced volume manager showed more than alsamixer did [02:21] to find the ip of my machine i use the command "ifconfig" right? [02:21] i m ean i tried ?? [02:21] mean [02:21] im gonna reboot again to watch in its progress bar glory [02:21] iamheinrich: the default opensource ATI drivers should already be installed [02:21] luddite: on another note tho, that means your router is probly having trouble giving out dhcp [02:21] phpstar, what have you done thusfar to resolve it? [02:21] musikgoat: i only did "kill -9 (id of gnome-panel)" but that didn't do anything special... lemme try your suggestion [02:21] angusthefuzz: it says "Starting NetworkManager [fail]" [02:21] acrousey: yes, use ifconfig [02:21] xomp PM ?? [02:21] thanks [02:21] iamheinrich: google up accelmethod EXA to see how to set up that. otherwise, you should be good, wobbly windows and all [02:21] busy here in main windows [02:21] Rubin: I've not done anything odd, and other packages have installed without issues, did you want to see the contnets of /etc/apt/? [02:21] Why should i download the newest version of ubuntu if i have 7.10? [02:21] musikgoat - yeah - it may do ill check / Rubin thats easy thats mate. [02:21] iamheinrich: DO NOT install the ATI proprietary drivers if you want to watch video on your machine [02:22] phpstar, one man PM'ing another man just isn't right :P [02:22] ericjung: try sudo /etc/init.d/NetworkManager restart [02:22] comeon [02:22] its so busy here [02:22] phpstar, ok [02:22] thx [02:22] musikgoat: after 15 seconds no restart [02:22] Cycom Haha that i know, I tried it first....max resolution was 640x480 after that^^ [02:22] jj_galvez, nah. you may require help from someone more skilled in the package system than I [02:22] is it worth upgrading from 7.10? [02:22] goodmami: its not showing in ps? [02:22] Has anyone got the b43 driver to work on one of the new macbook pros? [02:22] iamheinrich: it worked ok for me, except for video playback [02:22] nope [02:23] jj_galvez, all i can tell you is that I installed that package on a 64bit system a couple days ago and it worked :) [02:23] goodmami: hmm, log out and back in now [02:23] angusthefuzz: thanks,man. it says "[OK]" but there's no window or anything with which to interact [02:23] musikgoat: ok... brb.. [02:23] Rubin: well thanks for trying, I'll keep asking hopefully someone will chime in [02:23] Cycom For me it could not find anything graphics card, screen nothing. [02:23] iamheinrich: the default drivers couldn't? [02:23] ericjung, it should go to the upper right hand applet tray thingy [02:23] can anyone tell me what the benfits are of 8.10 from 7.10? [02:23] iamheinrich: what version of ubuntu? [02:23] ericjung: NetworkManager is a service, you can load up an applet for it by right clicking on the gnome panel [02:24] Cycom No the proprietary drivers^^ [02:24] iamheinrich: oh, yeah. they're pretty fail right now. [02:24] ptown, 7.10 to 8.10 is pretty significant. better hw support, more usability, much prettier etc [02:24] ericjung: the applet is called NetworkMonitor [02:24] The default works with everything exept movies and well...games^^ [02:24] Rubin: do you know where dpkg unpacks stuff to during the install? is there a temp location where files go prior to being moved to their final location? [02:24] jj_galvez, i was thinking down the same path, but I don't know, and I havnt been able to figure it out [02:25] Cycom not very good no [02:25] jj_galvez: what was the problem? [02:25] jj_galvez, /var/lib/dpkg myabe? [02:25] how can I unmute the sound ? [02:25] iamheinrich: games are likely to be a problem no matter what, but setting the accelmethod to EXA and restarting Xorg should fix the video thing. [02:25] angusthefuzz: take a look at http://paste.ubuntu.com/66524/ [02:25] iamheinrich: your video player crashes immediately? [02:25] !sound |cinex [02:25] cinex: 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 [02:25] musikgoat: that seemed to do it! I wish I knew what was actually going on, but re-logging in after killing the panel seemed to work [02:26] is it possible to use Beryl / Compiz-Fusion on Ubuntu as virtual system using VmWare Fusion ? [02:26] angusthefuzz , Rubin : I have links for Prefs->Network Configuration, Prefs->Network Proxy, Administration->Network, ADministration->Network Tools, but nothing about NetworkMonitor or NetworkManager. Help! [02:26] musikgoat: thanks for the help (and Flannel for pitching in, too) [02:26] goodmami: try sudo shutdown -h now and then reboot === Juice87 is now known as Sieb87 [02:26] rubin its muted in kde [02:26] goodmami: if you want to test the problem [02:26] musikgoat: ok, will do... brb [02:26] goodmami: if it happens again, there could be a bug [02:26] ericjung, it looks like a little computer just to the left of the speaker. let me find a screenshot, 1 sec [02:26] ericjung: right click on a blank spot on your top bar and add to panel an applet called network monitor [02:26] kk, i'll report it then [02:27] Cycom no it doesn't crash...but there is a hmm how do u call it in english...eeh..fuzz? flashing? Like if u have a movie and then open firefox the video flashes through. [02:27] flicker? [02:27] iamheinrich: what model of video card is it?

[02:28] iamheinrich: have you tried the accelmethod fix yet? [02:28] Ok, guys im trying to go linux only for the most part ( except for games of course) [02:28] is it possible to use Beryl / Compiz-Fusion on Ubuntu as virtual system using VmWare Fusion ?

[02:32] ericjung, no [02:32] !ask | daiv [02:32] daiv: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [02:32] daiv, I'm suddenly getting a "Unable to enumerate usb something or other on bus2" errors during boot since the upgrade :( [02:32] Rubin, angusthefuzz : damn [02:32] hey guys lets tru openSUSE, it rocks! plus they are partnered with microsoft [02:32] so does anyone know where I can get pitivi plugins?!

Dell Dimension, worked great under 8.04, but I can't do anything now [02:33] angusthefuzz : so I right-click on the panel/taskbar thing and say "Add To Panel", right? and select "Network Monitor" ? (There's no Network Manager) [02:33] luddite, check logs. myabe /var/log/messages to start [02:33] munnymunnyyeayea: a partnership with microshaft is not a good thing [02:33] I'd prefer to avoid a reinstall, but have run out of ideas.

[03:05] Caithness, reinstall grub [03:05] If I wanted to look at binary files of a program what would be the best program to open with it is a exe file [03:05] Cycom I'm clueless....this is driving me nuts... [03:05] pen: Nevermind on that one, I fixed the res. Let me reboot to see if this works. [03:05] someone in the forum suggested pressing F8 before windows' boot splash screen to see a description of the error and disable automatic restarting, but all i got when pressing F8 was a blank screen === smg_soul is now known as PANGERAN_KESEPIA [03:06] from grub i did try booting from previous kernal and there it was [03:06] booting from latest ibex kernal...dvd...gone [03:06] Caithness: it might be Esc or F11 or F2 or something else like that - it should show it on the screen somewhere. [03:06] Caithness: f8 is the usual method to boot windows into recovery and such [03:06] Johninlex: on the commandline: hd or od , if i understand you right. [03:06] anybody here know how to set up gstreamer for spdif? [03:06] iamheinrich: do this: apt-get remove xorg-driver-fglrx [03:06] Does anybody know how to restore a Wubi virtual disk file? [03:07] How do I find out at the terminal whether recent package upgrades require a reboot for them to take effect? [03:07] then do the sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg [03:07] howdo i format a MEDIA in ubuntu shell? [03:07] any ideas? [03:07] anyone? [03:07] FastPutty, mkfs [03:07] Caithness, after the bios stuff is down but before windows boot will give you a boot menu for windows but this does not include any other os, just different boot options for windows, like failsafe , or if you press f8 at boot , on some computers it will give you the option to boot from a specific storage device [03:07] /join #hp2133 [03:08] prince_jammys I have track down one web sight that has been giving out the 2009 virus and I wanted to look and see how it was created, not to make another one but to find out a way to get ride of it better [03:08] unop: my drive is in NTFS and it has LOG broke. [03:08] Hey, I'm brand new to GNU/Linux. First hour of it. Anyway, what's the recommended way to install the gnome package without installing swfdec-gnome and swfdec-mozilla (basically, no Flash)? [03:08] Kira[work], the only packages to require a reboot are the kernel ones [03:08] unop: i want toformat it to make it works in my unix [03:08] how can i get ubuntu the automatically login on boot? [03:08] unop: what is the comamdne xact to do a format ? [03:08] mike-burns: which gnome package? [03:08] Cycom I have no idea what my computer is doing but, when i typed in what you told me. It said that it wasn't installed anymore=S [03:08] Caithness, I recommend you reinstall intrepid, from the live cd , not from webui or some such , it should install grub and let you select the proper os you want to boot [03:08] I reboot it, but it went back to 800x600 [03:09] iamheinrich: ok, that's fine [03:09] Pelo, i stopped the x and everything went black... [03:09] tritium: gnome-desktop-environment [03:09] anyone try a fresh install of ibex and get a busybox prompt? [03:09] ericjung: You can set an automatic login in the login screen setup, under administration [03:09] Cycom it shouldn't be?=P [03:09] iamheinrich: I was making sure you had the proprietary fglrx drivers uninstalled [03:09] mike-burns: install ubuntu-desktop [03:09] oh ok [03:09] hi guys I'm having trouble with the Emerals themer manager it load and seem to work fine but none of the effects that i choose seem to apply [03:09] FastPutty, I would read the mkfs.ntfs manpage and find out what the syntax is. man mkfs.ntfs [03:09] ericjung, in menu > system > admin > login menu, third tab I beleive [03:09] jaypur, that 's that happens when you stop x , you get in to command line mode [03:09] linux and mac os still boot fine, but when i pick windows it comes up with a menu of various boot options, including safe mode and boot with last known good settings [03:09] Johninlex: well, i don't know how to go about doing that. the programs i mentioned give you a hexdump/octal dump of the files. you might try something involving 'strings filename.exe' [03:09] but all of them result in a restart almost immediately [03:09] Pelo, yeah but i couldnt write anything... [03:10] Flannel thanks! [03:10] Pelo thanks! [03:10] Caithness, then something is messed up with windows, ask in ##windows [03:10] maybe if i tried pressing F8 within the menu... [03:10] Cycom oki^^ [03:10] does anybody have projectm working in intrepid? [03:10] jaypur, you can also try booting in recovery mode and dropping in to root command line , that will be the same [03:10] I'm trying to migrate from vista to ubuntu, but i can't figure out how to transfer all of my thunderbird data (emails/contacts/etc...) has anybody done this before? [03:11] iamheinrich: do this: sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-video-radeonhd xserver-xorg-video-radeon [03:11] prince_jammys , thanks I find a way I have finally found a site that will give it to over and over, no mater how many times I go back to it [03:11] iamheinrich: make sure the foss ati drivers are installed [03:11] so on logging in after updating, I had this little light-bulb icon that offered me to change my logout button to a combined logout/userswitching button... but there was also a second notification with it, and I stupidly hit Next without hitting Update first. It never gave me a way to go back. [03:11] is there a way to go back and do that? [03:11] Pelo, man people said that that driver doesnt work, why should that work? [03:12] balz, the installer should import the info ,but alternatively you can probably export then from thunderbird , back them up and reimport them ater you install ubuntu [03:12] Cycom hmm, could not find : xserver-xorg-video-radeon [03:12] justdave: possibly. Try sudo dpkg-reconfigure fast-user-switch-applet [03:12] i am having trouble with totem, somehow all the video is having a weird color, the hue and saturation seemed fliped... [03:12] Pelo: you mean the ubuntu installer will? [03:12] jaypur, doesn't work for what ? it's the driver supplied by nvidia for that chipset in linux , [03:12] gstreamer nor xine works :( [03:12] balz: I thought the livecd had an option to do that for you. Another option is to copy the contents of the profile on windows, and copy them over the ones in your linux profile [03:12] anyone know anything about the Emerald Theme manager mine doesn't seem to be apply the changes [03:13] When installing something via aptitude in terminal, what does the "{a}" of sun-java6-bin{a} mean? [03:13] Pelo, it doesnt work in 8.10 [03:13] Pelo, for mx440 [03:13] hey is there a keyboard shortcut to move the current window to another desktop? [03:13] temppy: i should look into the livecd option... my disk is encyrpted though so that might be a problem [03:13] balz, unless you install over your vista partition , it should try to import your settings and such [03:13] iamheinrich: could not find it? [03:13] like CTRL SHIFT LEFT or something [03:13] iamheinrich: what about radeonhd? [03:13] I just upgraded to Ubuntu 8.10 and I noticed that my Logitech G5 mouse tilt buttons no longer are used for my back and forward in Firefox. I had gotten this to work through xorg and xmodmap. But now xorg states that HAL is controlling my mouse now. How can I set this back up? I tried playing around with different orders of the button in xmodmap but nothing seems to work. [03:13] Pelo: legacy nvidia drivers are not compatible with new version of x.org in intrepid [03:13] Pelo, i think ill go to recovery mode so... [03:13] jaypur, who said that ? and ask then for an alternative then [03:13] Pelo: aah, yeah i'm installing over a vista partition, so it looks like i'll have to try to export. i didn't realize there was an export function in thunderbird. =) [03:14] Pelo, ill go to recovery and enter the command line aiight? [03:14] temppy, thanks for the heads up [03:14] qowao: System > Preferences > Keyboard Shortcuts > Move window one workspace to the left [03:14] Cycom Radeonhd found and installed [03:14] thx mike-burns great [03:14] balz, I'M not sure there is , but most do [03:14] iamheinrich: k. now, sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg [03:14] iamheinrich: that should reset your xorg.conf to default [03:14] balz, might not be export, might be something else, try and ask in #thunderbird , [03:14] iamheinrich: then add the AccelMethod EXA line again [03:14] okay thanks a bunch! [03:15] mike-burns: which one would you recommend (not that i overwrite others) [03:15] jaypur, temppy just told me that the legacy nvidia driver does not work in intrepid, so don't just give up [03:15] * Pelo points jaypur to a nice quite corner where he can cry in peace [03:15] Pelo, the legacy, like the drivers that appears on the manager? [03:15] qowao: I actually use the "Move window to workspace #1" (#2, #3, ...) keybinding instead, and I mapped it to Shift+Alt+Ctrl+1 [03:16] Pelo, haha [03:16] does anybody have projectm working in intrepid? [03:16] Pelo, nice... [03:16] i mapped it to CTRL SHIFT 1 [03:16] jaypur, geforce 4 cards are too old, they are considred legacy, [03:16] and CTRL SHIFT 2 [03:16] Cool. [03:16] shouldnt overwrite anything right? [03:16] Pelo, so what should i do? [03:16] jaypur: only the 177 and 173 drivers work [03:16] qowao: If it lets you set it, it doesn't overwrite anything. [03:16] thx mike-burns perfect [03:16] temppy: on an mx440? [03:16] tritium: didn't seem to help, but I found the new one in the "Add to panel" thing, and swapped it out manually. [03:16] jaypur, that's what I'm saying, you mght not hvae a solution, try asking in #nvidia maybe someone there has an answer for you [03:17] musikgoat: no, I think thats legacy [03:17] justdave: ok, good [03:17] Pelo, ok, thx [03:17] temppy: thats jaypur's card [03:17] thank you all.... [03:17] next strange question... the graphical boot doesn't seem to stick [03:17] jaypur: i don't think you read this the last time someone suggested it http://ge.ubuntuforums.com/showthread.php?t=951375 [03:17] * Pelo had forgoten about the feeling of failure brought on by helping ppl in this channel [03:17] musikgoat, ive read that [03:18] I get the usplash splash screen for about 5 seconds after the grub prompt clears, then it drops to text mode and I watch everything scroll by for the rest of the boot [03:18] musikgoat, apparently the .bin driver does not work for legacy cards in intrepid [03:18] any ideas what to check that might be tripping up usplash? [03:18] Pelo: right === gordon is now known as Guest37025 [03:18] (running Intrepid currently, but this machine started life running Edgy and has been upgraded every time a new one came out) [03:18] Pelo: musikgoat jaypur http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/releasenotes/810#nVidia%20%22legacy%22%20video%20support [03:19] How do i format a second hardrive in ubuntu shell? the seocnd hardrive is a NTFS [03:19] can i split my partition with hardy???? [03:19] had this problem for the last couple OS revs so it's not something new with intrepid [03:19] justdave, boot without a splash and try to see where the hang his, look that up in the forum [03:19] just finally getting around to trying to fix it. :) [03:19] Cycom still nothing in the "video device" ... [03:19] Pelo: there is no hang, it boots without a splash now. :) [03:19] ati drivers messed this up baad [03:20] temppy, so, whos blame is this? [03:20] iamheinrich: right: it should say Section "Device" [03:20] temppy, nvidia or ubuntu? [03:20] I get usplash's splash screen really briefly, then it goes away until gdm shows up === chukaman is now known as chukaman|away [03:20] iamheinrich: and below that Identifier "Configured Video Device" [03:20] iamheinrich: and below that EndSection [03:20] time for bed, g'night folks === cateye is now known as CaTeYe [03:20] jaypur: nvidia. Its their driver, and its closed source [03:21] tritium: Okay, I've installed ubuntu-desktop. Now how do I remove swfdec-gnome without removing the rest of GNOME? [03:21] temppy, ill send them an email right now.... [03:21] Cycom ? nothing else?? When i installed that envy thingy on my other computer it said the graphics cards name and shit [03:21] iamheinrich: nothing else. [03:21] !language | iamheinrich [03:21] iamheinrich: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [03:21] Hye guys i ran a "mv" command on a directory to move the folder to a new place. The move messed half way through because mistakenly unplugged the drive. how can i complete the move now that i have all these files in 2 locations? [03:21] iamheinrich: I know. It's supposed to be nearly empty. [03:21] Cycom oh ok... [03:21] temppy, in 8.04 did we have this problem? [03:21] jaypur: or, you could blame ubuntu, for using an upgraded version of xorg. In that case, you should just stick with hardy, since it uses the old version. hehe, so blame either one : ) [03:21] ubottu srry! [03:21] Sorry, I don't know anything about srry! [03:21] anyone know if there is a script that will emulate mac's osascript for linux? [03:21] lol [03:21] mike-burns: sudo apt-get remove [03:21] jaypur: i would suggest it, the more people complain, the more likely they will bow to the pressure, but unfortunately it hasn't happened yet [03:22] tritium: That wants me to remove gnome-desktop-environment [03:22] iamheinrich: right below the "Configured Video Device" section, but before EndSection, add your Option "AccelMethod" "EXA" [03:22] and then start X again, and try desktop effects. [03:22] mike-burns: let me check dependencies [03:22] How do i format a second hardrive in ubuntu shell? the seocnd hardrive is a NTFS [03:22] i wont turnback to hardy, 8.10 is better... faster... stroger... lol... [03:22] Cycom Done [03:23] iamheinrich: ok, did enabling the desktop effects work this time? [03:23] Cycom Nope [03:23] mike-burns: that's ok [03:23] iamheinrich: hrm... I'm pretty stumped then. [03:24] tritium: That won't remove all of GNOME, just the package name? [03:24] Cycom Welcome to my world=D [03:24] FastPutty: do you want to re-format it for nfts? [03:24] anyone have issues with the iwlwifi driver and the system "pausing" while under heavy network traffic?

[03:24] mouse stops responding [03:24] sorry [03:24] mike-burns: gnome-desktop-environment is not intsalled by default [03:24] iamheinrich: last time I was in that world, I went back to vista :) [03:24] Cycom and now max resolution is 800x600 [03:24] I just upgraded to Ubuntu 8.10 and I noticed that my Logitech G5 mouse tilt buttons no longer are used for my back and forward in Firefox. I had gotten this to work through xorg and xmodmap. But now xorg states that HAL is controlling my mouse now. How can I set this back up? I tried playing around with different orders of the button in xmodmap but nothing seems to work. [03:24] =P [03:24] tritium: Oh I see. Cool, good to know. [03:25] Cycom brb gonna try and restart xserver and see what i get [03:25] do you think nvidia will release a driver?

(usb flashdrives/usb cameras) [03:27] FastPutty: then look into mkfs.ext3 [03:27] hehe hello ericjung [03:27] iamheinrich: last resort: try a reboot. [03:27] iamheinrich: see if that works. [03:27] Cycom thnx anyways =) [03:27] musikgoat : when I upgraded to 8.10, i was asked if i wanted to switch to some new gui..... what is that called? [03:27] Cycom ill try that=) [03:27] iamheinrich: good luck! [03:27] qowao : hello :) [03:27] i was in #firefox on moznet before! i found an error in foxyproxy that mzz said you would fix!

[03:28] hey guys, I'm on my GF's laptop with Hardy installed. How should I upgrade it to Intrepid [03:29] exactly ericjung [03:29] qowao : ok then the workaround is this: [03:29] qowao : open FoxyProxy. In the global settings tab, check "I am using Portable Firefox" [03:29] (even though you're not using Portable Firefox) [03:29] qowao : that removes the absolute path === steelhoof_ is now known as steelhoof [03:30] musikgoat: i just use mkfs.ext3 /dev/sdb1 ...

I've only touched Ubuntu a handful of times and have just installed 8.10 x386 on my system. I've got an nVidia 6250 type onboard graphics I'm trying to get out of 800x600 [03:58] ant2ne, thats the xorg.conf for when it runs 4bit video? [03:58] i just upgraded to 8.10, my desired resolution isnt showing up; how can i add it to the list? [03:58] My computer randomly freezes after like 10 minutes of being on, I have to cold boot, cap lock and num lock flash... Is there a log file for kernel panics or whatever? [03:58] !notes | [TK]D-Fender [03:58] [TK]D-Fender: Ubuntu 8.10 (Intrepid Ibex) release notes can be found here: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/releasenotes/810 [03:58] cmdbbq: I am well aware of the nvidia/ati situation [03:59] <[TK]D-Fender> I'm offered the choice to activate one of 2 sets of proprietary drivers, neither of which seem to actually want to activate... [03:59] [TK]D-Fender=> sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [03:59] Hello Ubuntu -- I'm new to Linux -- I started experiencing issues with Bluetooth (Mouse) after the latest 8.10 update. However, most of the manuals are referring to the old Gutsy Gibbon. I was wondering if I could seek assistances here. [03:59] Robb_M: Yes...but keeps running in the background [03:59] bahadunn, if they find a way to do that without him setting up that ability explicity, they've found a way to exploit apache - that's another story though [03:59] so, last time I using ubuntu..exist Beryl..now gone,...compiz is similar and better? [04:00] So any advice on how I connect to a wireless network? Just manually? [04:00] Saga_: What exactly is the problem? [04:00] compiz = better [04:00] cool [04:00] [TK]D-Fender: why x386? [04:00] meh, i am not sure myself niten, maybe one of these fine folks can help both of us out with that ;) [04:00] niten : sudo iwlist wlan0 scan [04:00] mrzither: I couldn't connect -- It do seek the mouse up -- The pair kept failed. [04:00] How can i add a resolution to the screen size list? My screen is 1650x1080, but doesnt show up on the list [04:00] well, when I finish to download the ISO..I will test it [04:00] thanks darkbishop :) [04:00] <[TK]D-Fender> temppy: just don't want to run into AMD64 issues... stick with the basics... [04:01] xeom: intel video? [04:01] <[TK]D-Fender> temppy: Not that's saved my the first painful bit... [04:01] unop: yes but the whole idea is that the webserver should not be allowed to write to the webroot so that if it is exploited the exploit might fail. [04:01] alright, new tact, in gmplayer i am able to select X11, xv or gl, my problem persists on X11 and gl, but when i select xv (which I have heard is preferable) i get no video output [04:01] darkbishop: Yes, I can see the network I want...I'm trying to avoid manually setting up wireless, though, I remember all too well when that was necessary.... [04:01] sfire:no nvidia 8800 series [04:01] Saga_: Huh. I haven't had a problem with mine after upgrading... [04:01] unop: its just good security [04:01] <[TK]D-Fender> P_Kable: Did just run through that.. nothing I saw too specific for my issue... maybe I missed the driver prompt... [04:01] [TK]D-Fender: ah, so 32bit.. anyway, check the notes, see if you card is supported... [04:01] xeom- the "screen resolution list"? I think you might have to edit your xorg.conf file, try googling xorg.conf screen resolutions [04:01] xeom: you will probably have to modify the xorg.conf file [04:01] Hey guys. I'm having sound problems all of a sudden and the only information i can get is Amarok is spitting out "Xine was unable to initialize any audio drivers." It happened after a reboot. I'm guessing an upgraded pkg messed it up. What can I do? [04:01] ant2ne, ? [04:01] <[TK]D-Fender> temppy: Am checking out now... [04:01] niten: are u running 8.04 or 8.10? [04:02] ?? [04:02] My audio driver is oss [04:02] ant2ne, thats the xorg.conf for when it runs 4bit video? [04:02] yup [04:02] mrzither: Well -- I don't have much of choices -- The settings the manual asked me to toggle on certain input services, but with the latest update, it's long gone. [04:02] I don't know that it is 4 bit exactly. but it looks horrible [04:02] ive tried to, but it says file does not exist [04:02] did you try adding an explicit bit depth in the screen section? [04:03] xeom: /etc/X11/xorg.conf [04:03] <[TK]D-Fender> temppy: Nothing concerning any specific model... [04:03] like.... default "24 bit" [04:03] xeom: what are you typing to open your xorg.conf? [04:03] and then a SubSection of Dislpay [04:03] sfire:my mistake lower case x, ok its up [04:03] Saga_: That's strange. Maybe it's a hardware issue? (although, that would be a weird coincidence) [04:03] ant2ne, yes but try 16 first, sometime 24/32 are flakey on mac [04:03] darkbishop: 8.10 [04:03] It worked beautifully in 8.04 === chukaman|away is now known as chukaman [04:03] [TK]D-Fender: non of the legacy cards are supported [04:03] k [04:04] middy: nothing yet trying to get 1650x1080 as my resolution [04:04] I'm pretty worried, I had a friend install 8.04 to their laptop........ What's all this about a [04:04] <[TK]D-Fender> temppy: Not sure if this brand new MB would be considered "legacy"... [04:04] ant2ne, no, not in the subsection [04:04] Killer Harddrive Bug [04:04] <[TK]D-Fender> temppy: more than sad... [04:04] xeom: cool, I don't know personally how to add screen resolutions, you'll have to google it. [04:04] After upgrading to 8.10 firefox doesnt look as crisp as it did in 8.04, its almost as crappy as running IE, anyone have any similar issues, or know why? [04:04] Btw, do you know if you have video drivers installed? [04:04] if i burn a *.iso image of ubuntu intrepid ibex on a DVD, does the md5sum still have to match? [04:04] ok this is fucked up for my modes it has "Modes "nvidia-auto-select" " [04:04] Does anyone know if Gnash works on 64-bit? [04:04] ant2ne, http://home.comcast.net/~sloopym/XF86Config.controlfb.txt altho old still give you an idea of what you can try [04:05] [TK]D-Fender: well, try the 177 drivers, see if those work, or the 173. Im not sure what the difference is [04:05] <[TK]D-Fender> OH.. and anyone else having issue with Synaptic slowing to a crawl just getting the update lists? [04:05] nano__, it depends on how you calculate the md5sum after burning the image [04:05] <[TK]D-Fender> temppy: Actually I tried to "activate" BOTH. Niether seemed to show any attempt to do so. [04:05] unop: how should i calc it? Im doing md5sum /dev/cdrom [04:05] Any one? [04:05] ant2ne, sloopy used to be the X guru for old world macs on YDL [04:05] how to login as root?

[04:06] Seriously- Can someone explain to me more about this hard drive bug..? [04:06] hema, C65CE02, not sudo su .. sudo su is redundant and unsafe [04:06] niten: connection should be running on ur system.its the green earth thing on the top left... click on that.. then edit conneciton.then add the connection that u want it.next time it will auto connect when it came to avalible. [04:06] Hey, how do I unmount a partition? [04:06] ant2ne, no that xf86config is for control video (the 7x00, 8x00 series builtin video) [04:06] unop: i am getting a md5sum image mismatch with the file that i have downloaded (correct md5sum), but after i burn it, i get another md5sum......also, when i boot off the cd, i get no errors when i select "check cd for defects" [04:07] So I don't really have a choice? Lol. I truly doubt it. ;) [04:07] Hello every one. [04:07] hey [04:07] cmdbbq: which video driver are you using?

[04:19] paste it [04:19] okay hema: sudo chmod /path/to/file 777 [04:19] Wintervenom, I think just paid versions of vmware [04:19] 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 [04:19] sYsk: passwd username [04:20] Hi guys! Q: How do I get rid of the system beep (which is darn too annoying and should have been disabled by default) in ubuntu-hardy? Thansk [04:20] is there a way to list all users ? [04:20] K_Dallas: sudo rmmod pcspkr [04:21] cat /etc/passwd right ? [04:21] dmesg clears itself when you reboot? [04:21] K_Dallas: i don't remember offhand, but i know it's all over google [04:21] sYsk, who I think [04:21] sYsk, u can see in /etc/passwd [04:21] thx [04:21] hi guys. anyone here installed ubuntu intrepid? [04:21] hema: did that work? [04:21] mrzither, thanks bunches. thanks balz too [04:21] ranjithk: yep [04:21] K_Dallas: np. sorry i couldn't be more specific [04:21] ranjith, I've done it but from upgrade, not install [04:21] ranjithk, I've done it but from upgrade, not install [04:21] i want to www folder [04:21] i m missing many things .. [compiz extra plugins.. monaco fonts.. many things :(] [04:22] want or when? [04:22] to be able to paste files to it [04:22] now, how do you add a new user ? [04:22] hema: what? i thought you wanted to change permissions to 777? [04:22] adduser right ? [04:22] balz, no worry. I googled and got many different ways to do it ;) sudo rmmod pcspkr seems to be the easiest and safest one to do. [04:22] ranjithk: eveyone having a problem. [04:22] K_Dallas: if you want it always disabled, add it to your /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist [04:22] ranjithk: through an upgrade or fresh install? [04:22] i am running vista as a guest in vmware and hate it, and was wondering if ubuntu would work better in vmware. [04:22] yes [04:22] sYsk: maybe you should lookup these simple commands yourself before asking [04:22] fresh install [04:22] mrzither, great. Thanks again [04:22] hema, didn't i already give you the command to do that? [04:22] right im done [04:22] vista in vmware is incredibly buggy [04:22] sYsk, right (adduser username) or useradd username [04:22] K_Dallas: no problem [04:23] ranjithk: did you try using synaptic? [04:23] hema: so type in the following - sudo chmod /path/to/file 777 [04:23] dont think she know how to use command [04:23] chrziz: using synaptic for that? [04:23] balz, hema, don't suggest that (and it's wrong) [04:23] *for what [04:23] no file i want folder [04:23] balz, wouldn't he want 644 so the permissions are only for his login? [04:23] hello all, I have a stupid question....A friend is running windows me and I can not find a defrag tool or system maintenance tool any where on the net for free.....anyone know of one? [04:23] ranjithk: using synaptic to download the missing things [04:23] unop: oh is it chmod 777 /path ? [04:24] is ubuntu good for watching divx movies and stuff? [04:24] CD: vista is buggy in general :) [04:24] CD: yes [04:24] hema, sudo adduser $USER www-data; sudo chgrp www-data /var/www # then, log out and log back in [04:24] CD: if you use VLC [04:24] cd: install vlc..it would make it batter [04:24] BrokenPeace, there's a ##windows channel [04:24] i have vlc for vista [04:24] scunizi: i dunno, he told me he wanted 777 [04:24] mrzither, this is the line that i have to add, right? blacklist pcspkr [04:24] balz, yes, but there's a better way of getting write access to the directory without relaxing the permissions so much [04:24] cd: just run sudo apt-get vlc [04:24] K_Dallas: correct [04:24] mrzither, thank you [04:24] BrokenPeace: The defragmenter is built in. Right click a disk and go to properties. But, ##windows can give you better info. [04:24] cd: just run sudo apt-get install vlc [04:24] unop: gotcha. yeah i havent messed with permissions in a while lol [04:24] ##Windows [04:25] hello [04:25] BrokenPeace: /join ##windows [04:25] the sound is laggy and the video isnt great, since its all virtual and doesnt have hardware acceleration [04:25] the command hidd is missing. What exactly am I missing on? [04:25] I need help, my computer keeps freezing [04:25] 'Is there a log or something? [04:25] but since ubuntu used opengl, is that better? [04:25] For kernel panicks [04:25] CD: is ubuntu virtualized or windows? [04:25] just updated to intrepid. why might a person *not* want to remove obsolete packages (at the end of the setup)? [04:25] how do i set my eth0 connection to be changeable? never had this problem, it says readonly [04:26] Saga_, sudo aptitude install bluez-{compat,utils} [04:26] [ 137.455474] type=1503 audit(1225686309.838:15): operation="socket_create" family="x25" sock_type="seqpacket" protocol=0 pid=7345 profile="/usr/sbin/cupsd" [04:26] Im gettting that [04:26] you mean logout that I turn off my pc and return [04:26] im not running ubuntu right now, its a vista host and vista guest [04:26] Q: Where should i check to see problems people have had with interpid and if they were resolved after the release? I installed interpid on toshiba-a200 and it was great untill i noticed that after 20-30 min, the laptop went through kernel panic for some reason so had to downgrade. Thanks [04:26] oh [04:26] to write to a file, do you issue the cat command like so? cat information to file > filename? [04:26] becuase I close folder and went back nothing has been chaged [04:26] hema, you could do that i.e. restart the machine - but all you need is to log the user out and log back in [04:26] changed [04:26] mrzither, so two people can be on the same computer at once [04:27] After_Math, no, you use echo instead of cat there [04:27] works out great when it works [04:27] vista is a douche though [04:27] 8.10, how do i set the eth0 connection to be changable, i get the readonly error [04:27] unop, ok just the way I did it but with echo? [04:27] CD: wait, what? You can't use them both at the same time? [04:27] After_Math, yes, echo foo bar baz > file [04:28] After_Math: No [04:28] After_Math: Use >> [04:28] hey in 8.04 i had installed the setting to have the application menu bar to show up on the top of the screen (like mac os x) and now i can't find a way to take that setting off. anyone know? [04:28] Cpudan80, does >> append? [04:28] echo "Hello World!" >> myFile [04:28] unop, thanks [04:28] mrzither: yes, i have two monitors, one for host and one for guest, and with vmware workstation you can "grab" different usb devices [04:28] After_Math: yes - >> append -- > overwrite [04:28] mrpeepers: its like windows, drag the bar around [04:28] mrzither: works perfectly [04:28] CD: wow, that's actually really cool [04:28] hey guys, anyone here installed ubuntu on a virtual pc before? [04:28] Cpudan80, thanks :) [04:28] mrzither: you bet ;) Took a while to figure it all out [04:29] im having problems recognize my local network [04:29] DaveCave: no it's not a panel its an actual file menu bar [04:29] im a nerd [04:29] im chatting it from it right now.. is there a way to make it accept static ips i give it? [04:29] its just that with the software acceleration makes divx movies laggy as well as audio [04:29] ipv4 disapears everytime i try to use static ips [04:29] After_Math, you could use cat in this way. cat -> file #but cat will expect you to type things out, when you are finished typing press CTRL+D [04:29] i was wondering, in a virtual environment, if linux performs better [04:29] my swap drive is not appearing in "cat /proc/swaps" even though i have created one via "sudo mkswap /dev/sda1" and ubpated fstab. Anything else i need to do? [04:29] I can get on here but for some reason I cant get to webpages in firefox, but I can in opera , weird. It is a defualt .mozilla directory [04:30] unop, ok cool thanks [04:30] unop, does cat >> file append also? [04:30] haha victory is mine [04:30] After_Math, yea, cat - >> file [04:30] CD: sort of. Ubuntu will manage the smaller memory quite a bit better, and you might get some good video watching. But HD or anything like that is going to be horrible. [04:30] unop, cool thanks [04:30] After_Math, note the - there, it's important [04:30] mrzither: these are just 700mb files [04:31] unop, k [04:31] CD: what's the res? [04:31] My computer freezes randomly, how can I troubleshoot this?? [04:31] my swap is not running...i try swapon but its said device is bz.. anyone got any idea [04:31] sort of [04:31] mrzither: i guess i could try it, i have to keep the vista guest though for when I need to use photoshop [04:31] mrzither: on a 22", 1680x1050 [04:31] CD: no, the res of the videos [04:31] mrzither: original is about 680? [04:31] hey in 8.04 i had installed the setting to have the application menu bar to show up on the top of the screen (like mac os x) and now i can't find a way to take that setting off. anyone know? [04:31] darkbishop: where did you set your swap to, an unused partition? [04:32] hi.. What's the easiest way to get alsa 1.0.18 to support multiple programs using sound at once [04:32] hello. how do i sync my nokia 2630 with evolution via msynctool? please, help! [04:32] mrzither: one main thing, does joox.net/divx work with ubuntu? [04:32] CD: I would give it a shot. You really don't have anything to lose, and you'll probably like it better. [04:32] no one ever installed ubuntu on a virtual pc here?! [04:32] CD: I don't know, I've never used it before. [04:33] drag0n_: yes.. many times [04:33] mrzither: check out joox.net [04:33] drag0n_, yes.. in vbox [04:33] musikgoat:yeah.it was working fine i8,04...but now when i look at it at "top" its said 0 used.should i stop the swap and turn it back on again? [04:33] ComradeMikhail, use a sound server like ESD or pulseaudio [04:33] darkbishop: check gparted [04:33] scunizi: cool im using vbox too i have a question about eth0 [04:33] drag0n_, k.. [04:33] mrzither: has movies in divx format [04:33] CD: it may. try installing firefox with the vlc plugin in ubuntu. [04:33] !pulseaudio | ComradeMikhail [04:33] ComradeMikhail: PulseAudio is a sound server intended as a drop-in replacement for !ESD - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PulseAudio for information and installation instructions [04:33] mrzither: can you tell me if you can watch this? [04:33] scunizi: when i try to use static ip so i can ping the rest of my local network ipv4 disapears and i cant get online or ping the router [04:34] mrzither: http://joox.net/cat/2/id/12285 [04:34] unop: i have pulse install apparently, but i'm not sure how to use it.. i just got soudn working the other day by compiling the latest version os alsa [04:34] mrzither: its resident evi; [04:34] CD: I'm under OS X right now [04:34] drag0n_: I setup the static IPs in the router using static DHCP [04:34] darkbishop: right click on linux-swap and see if you have the option to turn off swap, if so, its running, but you don't have enough used memory to need swap [04:34] mrzither: oh lol [04:34] drag0n_, are you also inputting the dns servers? [04:34] scunizi: dhcp gives it 10.0.2.5 and i want it to b 192.168.1.5 instead [04:34] mrzither: thanks for the help, ill go set it up now [04:34] scunizi: in ubuntu? [04:34] CD: okey dokey. Good luck. [04:35] scunizi: or the router? [04:35] ComradeMikhail, note that you need alsa to get sound working, you need pulse or esd to run atop alsa to multiplex audio -- see the howto on configuring pulse [04:35] okay [04:35] mrzither: is there any specific os that is better for media center type of stuff [04:35] I need some input on a new netbook. Acer Aspire One (AOA150-1750), or an eeepc 1000? [04:35] musikgoat: yeah its unuse....filetype linux-swap [04:35] I'm looking to buy one or the other [04:35] My fonts in firefox are not as crisp as they were before upgrading to 8.10, anyone with the same problem? [04:35] drag0n_, yes.. when you go static on ubuntu you have to enter the dns servers.. the same ones being used in the router and on the host [04:35] scunizi: yes, i do that as well [04:35] mrzither: still check out joox.net, its awesome (dont worry, it doesnt have viruss) [04:35] what is the command to add/remove a user from a group ? [04:35] darkbishop: unuse? right click properties, is it active? [04:36] I'm using 8.10. When I use the 177 nvidia driver, I have problems. When I use the 173 nvidia driver, I don't have problems. Where do I go to file a bug report? [04:36] CD: Personally, I like Ubuntu for pretty much everything. OS X is pretty cool as well if you have a Mac. [04:36] scunizi: when i try to pin my router 192.168.1.1 it just keeps telling me network unreachable [04:36] sYsk, usermod [04:36] drag0n_: if its getting 10.0.2.5 from DHCP and it works then its using NAT networking.. [04:36] mrzither: alright, thanks again [04:36] drag0n_: its probably not using the bridged mode [04:36] sfire: but my router and the rest are using 192.168.1.* [04:36] drag0n_: read what I wrote again [04:36] drag0n_, yea.. I just checked my intrepid install on vbox and it also has a wacky ip like yours.. [04:37] musikgoat: yup its active... and i did what u said.its still 0 use on my "top" command [04:37] um, can anyone help me, I have a broadcom wireless card, and I've tried numerous "fixes", but none seem to want to work [04:37] sfire: so you mean its connected to a NAT network, but just not mine? [04:37] darkbishop: that just means swap is not needed yet, ubuntu chooses to use swap when its needed [04:37] if its using nat through the machine to get network access then it cannot be on the 192.168 network.. you probably have to put the ethernet interface in bridged mode [04:37] scunizi: yeah, you can get online but you cant ping your network, right? [04:37] darkbishop: are you having a problem? === chukaman|away is now known as chukaman [04:37] drag0n_, hang on I'll check [04:37] sfire: how do i do that? [04:38] wow, downloading ubuntu at 1 mb/s [04:38] <_tallpaul_> Can I get some install help? Just download 8.10 and trying to install on an Averatec (Sotec) 3120X laptop [04:38] does anyone know how to undo the setting of the menu bar on top of the desktop? [04:38] drag0n_: I use vmware.. pretty easy in that.. don't know in vbox [04:38] scunizi: ok [04:38] CD: BitTorrent? [04:38] jewbuntu for life [04:38] drag0n_: however its the same concept [04:38] sfire: vbox is alot more simpler then vmware [04:38] musikgoat: nope.. no problem.. its just weird that it dont use the swat.. tats all.. i tot my swap gone crazy already.thxxxxx [04:38] http://www.jewbuntu.org/ [04:38] mrzither: no, michigan college [04:38] sfire: so its a setting in vbox? [04:38] http://www.jewbuntu.com sorry [04:38] not in ubuntu? [04:38] drag0n_: yes [04:38] mrzither: bittorrent is busy download mvoies ;) [04:39] one more thing, does ubuntu have peerguardian built in? [04:39] drag0n_, this looks like an issue for #vbox [04:39] cd: dont think so [04:39] CD: Wow; that's pretty fast. Although, on BitTorrent, I can sometimes get 1.5m a sec [04:39] lol [04:39] okay: new problem. apparently Pulse Audio Device Chooser doesn't launch [04:39] sfire: ok.. i need to switch off this virtual ubuntu to change the settings.. ill b back to give feedback [04:39] oh wait nevermind, it goes up there, my bad [04:40] I'm trying to use a new package, 'git', but I after installing it with sudo apt-get install git, I keep getting "git: command not found" when I try to use it. I'm assuming it might not be in my path...? But how can I find out where the command lives? [04:40] sfire, you using vmware server? vs. 1.x or 2.x beta? [04:40] gotta go, tyfyi [04:41] Ubuntu 8.10 won't shut down [04:41] . [04:41] The live cd didn't either. :( [04:41] scunizi: I've got both running (2 different machines) [04:41] Why? [04:41] scunizi: I actually prefer 1.x [04:41] hey where is the config file for desktop settings? [04:41] <_tallpaul_> The installer hangs after I hit "Forward" in the keyboard selection step. It goes into "infinite spinning blob" - I can still access the text consoles and there is an error message in /var/log/installer/debug about free space [04:41] sfire, I liked 2.x until the latest build.. then I had issues.. [04:41] What it does is show a cursor when shutting down, and it doesn't turn the computer off, help? [04:42] scunizi: come to #ubuntu-offtopic :) [04:42] k [04:42] tetracomm: they still trying to fix it [04:42] mytruehero, you need the git-core package [04:42] hey where is the config file for desktop settings? [04:43] okay, i believe i have pulse audio installed and mostly configured, but i do not see an option in System>Preferences>Sound that says Enable Software Sound Mixing [04:43] unop: That did it. Thanks for the help :) [04:43] mytruehero, http://packages.ubuntu.com to search for files, packages, etc [04:43] well i guess i'm gonna give it a shot, gotta restart the current session, so i'll brb if ihave problems [04:43] if not, thanks for the help guys [04:44] tetracomm: for now use the power button.please refer to https://answers.lunchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/49908 [04:44] I am very new to Ubuntu and was wondering if anyone has some suggestions on some "must have" apps/downloads? [04:44] does anyone know how to make the panels hide? [04:44] unop: Thanks - I'll bookmark that for next time. [04:44] pentaside: VLC [04:45] pentaside: vlc and openoffice 3 [04:45] hello, does anyone know a good help channel on programming [04:45] apt-get [04:45] anyone know of the issue with Audigy 4 cards not letting sound come from rear out? [04:45] <_tallpaul_> Or is there a dedicated install help place that I should be looking? [04:45] <_tallpaul_> I'll go check the FAQ, but I've already done the obligatory googling without much luck, tried noacpi and noapm [04:46] MrIntegral: #programming [04:46] pentaside: A lot of that depends on what you're doing. Inkscape is a good vector editor that isn't installed by default. However, you can look at what the developers "recommend" by perusing the packages available to you via Synaptic. [04:46] pentaside: the ones in 'main' (with the little ubuntu logo next to their name) are considered "better" (by someone) than the others. [04:47] how do i set up up a domain?

[04:49] a game [04:49] I've tried to upgrade my Asus Eee 701 to Intrepid, but it seems to require more disk space than is possible. Meanwhile it has killed my WiFi, which makes the Eee effectively useless. I've tried disabling the Atheros drivers, and tried reenabling them. Still no WiFi.Any clues? [04:49] blak:do it need directX9??? [04:49] yes... [04:50] my swap drive is not appearing in "cat /proc/swaps" even though i have created one via "sudo mkswap /dev/sda1" and ubpated fstab. Anything else i need to do? [04:50] blak:did u install dx9??? [04:50] !swap | luddite [04:50] luddite: swap is used to move unused programs and data out of main memory to make your system faster. It can also be used as extra memory if you don't have enough. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq for more info [04:50] i thought I did, not sure now.

Is that normal ? does it need a clean up of some sort ? [04:54] [04:54] gparted has taken over 2 hours, and still hasn't finish resizing a partion [04:54] Dabbill: If its a server, are you sure you want to upgrade, and not stick with LTS?

It solved all my audio problems, even the one with the volume dying off way to fast. Thanks so much. [04:56] Flannel, tho i wet to 8.04 right at release and never had an issue [04:56] Dabbill: There's nothign wrong with sticking with 8.04, especially considering its LTS. You'll be able to upgrade straight from 8.04 to 10.04, [04:56] JemJem: yes hello [04:57] darkbishop: I can't believe it was released like that. So it has to crash every day then. [04:57] hiya this is my first time [04:57] Miesco_, hm doesnt sound like my symptoms at all. try installing linux-backports [04:57] usser: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-backports-modules-2.6.27/+bug/276990 [04:57] flannel:stupid questionbut what is LTS? [04:57] another 30 minutes now [04:57] dark: long time support [04:57] Dabill: to be honest there is hardly anything worth upgrading from Hardy to Intrepid Ibex [04:57] darkbishop, long term support [04:57] !LTS | darkbishop [04:57] darkbishop: LTS means Long Term Support. LTS versions of Ubuntu will be supported for 3 years on the desktop, and 5 years on the server. [04:57] chukaman: ATI Radeon 9600 [04:57] fuck this im sick of being ignored [04:57] can anyone explan to me a easy way to install beryl [04:57] JemJem: Please watch your language [04:57] Flannel, i thought 8.10 will be LTS as well [04:58] Dabbill: to be honest there is hardly a good reason to upgrade from Hardy to Intrepid for most Ubunt users [04:58] in 8.04 [04:58] keith1212131: What version of Ubuntu are you on? [04:58] why do people always treat me like i dont exist [04:58] Dabbill: nope, just a regular release. [04:58] 8.04 [04:58] usser: Do you have the same card? [04:58] sebsebseb, okay [04:58] flannel are you a mod? [04:58] JemJem: This is a support channel, not a social channel. [04:58] Flannel, ahh okay [04:58] lmfao very funny [04:58] sebsebseb: I didn't expect anything much from intrepid but i wanted to upgrade, cuz Hardy was buggy, my wifi wouldn't work [04:58] keith1212131: You already have compiz-fusion installed [04:58] sebsebseb: bleeding edge, :P [04:58] Anyone know how I can get a HD .mkv play without MASSIVE lag in ubuntu 8.04? [04:58] JemJem: ask a question don't be al "hi there hi there" expecting amazing replies to "i am new here" [04:58] ok [04:58] after upgrade from 8.04 to 8.10, login screen fails to come :( [04:58] Tetracomm:its didnt crach.its just wont allow u to shutdown.got someother problem too.problem will allow them to make it batter.diffrent pc diffrent problem [04:58] so how do i do the cube desktop thing [04:58] sebsebseb: my sound from my laptop is working again in Ibex, working like NEVER BEFORE [04:59] what ever [04:59] ComradeMikhail: Intrepid is hardly bleeding edget , try other distros if you want that for example Sidux [04:59] edge [04:59] JemJem: If you're looking for a conversation, I suggest you look elsewhere. If you need support, feel free to ask your question. [04:59] JemJem: go to #ubuntu-offtop [04:59] lianimator: exactly.. 8.10 solved a lot of things with my laptop [04:59] JemJem: go to #ubuntu-offtopic [04:59] Miesco_, i have 3945 [04:59] lunch time.i talk 2 u all later. chowww... [04:59] sebsebseb: i know.. being sarcastic :P [04:59] Flannel: How do i do the cube desktop [04:59] frungicon: gimme one second [04:59] after upgrade from 8.04 to 8.10, login screen fails to come :( [04:59] aptitude install apache2 doesnt install apache. what gives. /etc/apache2 doesnt exist.

If you install the latter, a new option will appear in your appearance properties - See also !compiz - Help in #compiz-fusion [04:59] hey all. in ubuntu, it won't shutdown with my power button. i have the power options set to shutdown on pushing the power button, but nothing happens. if i click the red button and select shutdown, it shuts down....wtf [04:59] I tried to create a bridged interface for virtualbox and now my machine is having problems. Everytime I reboot, I cannot get a shell unless i drop to single user mode. what would be causing this? [04:59] ok im gonna ask a question.. [04:59] seravitae: Does it give you an error? [04:59] JemJem, that is a commonly established IRC etiquette, don't take it personally [04:59] in 8.04 there used to be a GUI for the hosts file in System > Admin > Network ....in 8.10 where did that go? [04:59] lianimator: well that's nice my GDM does not display right, but oh well just GDM, but at times it would in hady display right on this PC [05:00] usser: What do I do with backports? [05:00] chukaman: np [05:00] Flannel - nope. package installs fine. ive been having this issue all day with other packages too. [05:00] Iiaminator: other then that Intrepid is fine [05:00] how many tablets do i take to die? [05:00] i tried to remove it before and then when i reinstall it, it just "doesnt". [05:00] seen that coming [05:00] seravitae: Have you previously installed? ah. right. [05:00] this is happening with the egroupware package too. [05:00] Atomic_UE: I was wondering the same thing. I ended up right clicking on the network icon in the status bar.. [05:00] seravitae: What you need to do is purge the package, not just remove it. This will remove config files as well as just the binary files. [05:00] it was messing up but a full apt-get remove and purge didnt fix it. [05:00] !tab | sebsebseb [05:00] sebsebseb: You can use for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. [05:00] usser: linux-backport-modules? [05:00] Miesco_, backports are modules from upstream there are fixes there for that kind of quirks sometimes [05:00] Miesco_, yes [05:01] I did a fresh install [05:01] seravitae: Right now it assumes you've modified the config files on purpose (removing them), so it doesn't reinstall them. [05:01] seravitae: so, aptitude purge apache2 apache2.2-common apache2-mpm-worker [05:01] lianimator: well consdiering I am a touch typeist it is usauley faster to type them [05:01] usser: So once I install this package, how do I use the backport modules? [05:01] how do i remove old version file from my system? [05:01] sebsebseb: so am i, but using tab is way faster. [05:01] There is an unsupported value at path /apps/compiz/plugins/scale/allscreens/options/initiate_edge. Settings from this path won't be read. Try to remove that value so that operation can continue properly. [05:01] um [05:01] after upgrade from 8.04 to 8.10, login screen fails to come :( [05:01] sebsebseb: and avoids typos [05:01] seravitae: then reinstall, and you'll have the config files again. Most of the config files are actually in apache2.2-common, so that's 'really' the only package you need, but its a good idea to get all of the main ones. [05:02] anyone knows y [05:02] Flannel : my swap wont remain after reboot [05:02] flannel it spit some code at me [05:02] Conglomo, i have a system > admin > network in 8.10 but it only does wifi/vpn network stuff, it no longer does hosts file or gateways etc [05:02] if i have a Q6600, can i download the AMD64 architecture? [05:02] phpstar: is it a blank black screen? [05:02] yes theorie [05:02] phpstar: thank you [05:02] Flannel - okay thanks, that worked [05:02] keith1212131: You have to install a compiz config manager (either of the two packageS), then run it, and you can enable the cube instead of the panes. [05:02] no lianmonitar [05:02] tty is coming [05:02] Miesco_, you dont. once installed just restart and newer modules will be loaded if it fixes stuff for you then you're in luck [05:03] usser: Okay, did it fix it for you? [05:03] Flannel - does that mean for egroupware i have to purge every single package? and the dependancies? [05:03] seravitae: groupware will be similar. You can figure out which package belongs to the config files by using dpkg -S /path/to/file [05:03] the shutdown option on the ask me screen doesn't work. ideas? known bug? [05:03] Xorg fails to load [05:03] phpstar: what version are you using? and how did you install? [05:03] Miesco_, i dont have problems on intrepid but for hardy yes it did [05:03] Atomic_UE: I see. I'm using the xubuntu and I couldn't find network config period. :) [05:03] phpstar: no working GDM after Intrepid update? [05:03] phpstar: xorg is not used much anymore. they're using HAL [05:03] upgraded from 8.04 to 8.10 [05:03] usser: okay thanks! [05:03] ya seb [05:03] lordhelmet: my machine takes centuries to shut down since upgrading to 8.10 [05:03] or reboot [05:03] phpstar: ok reasoanblly common problem, tell us about your hardware [05:03] OpenOffice crashed my Ubuntu PC [05:03] phpstar: kubuntu?

[05:04] phpstar: Intrepid has a competly new and different xorg from what hardy has, and it lacks suppourt for older hardware [05:04] chukaman: i can hit the red power button and select shutdown and it goes right away, but the ask me menu, or when i tell it to just shutdown with the power button does nothing [05:04] i m having ATI HDMI Card [05:04] how do i start to use the cube thing, like is there a button to press [05:04] how do i get compiz to run at boot-up on Ubuntu Ultimate?

[05:07] but yesterday that worked fine meaning vmware is perfect now [05:07] chukaman: so i just run "vmware-config.pl" as root? [05:07] i think i did that already [05:07] keith: ctrl+alt and left click and drag anywhere on the desktop [05:07] yes or use sudo like ubuntu encourages [05:07] How do I get the Debian menu in the Main Menu?

[06:06] histo: thinking more of a simple way to distribute apps, if everything you need is in a single folder with the executable, there's no reason for the user to see all the support files - just thinking outloud really [06:06] lianimator: yea, the window decorations [06:06] RyanPrior: its no differen then using the term [06:06] histo: What could he possibly want to do with a root nautilus session. [06:06] vbman11: they don't show, or they look horrible? [06:07] histo: Nautilus makes stuff easy to move around, delete, etc - the terminal makes you spell it all out. [06:07] I can't get my router to talk to my network card [06:07] RyanPrior: edit a file possibly in /etc/ who knows its his system thats what they want to do. [06:07] lianimator: they don't show [06:07] What group manages mounted drives? [06:07] histo: He should maybe launch an editor as root, but not nautilus for pete's sake. [06:07] RyanPrior: it happens to me also that I create a file under root and can't access them under my normal account then I find it handy that I can access this file in nautilus under root [06:08] Flannel thanks... i just got the answer, and it was damn obvious i'm rather ashamed i didnt jsut see it in the settings section heh [06:08] paul68: In that case you can make a copy of the file and then delete root's copy. [06:08] vbman11: window decorations enabled in compiz? [06:08] <\Kira> Thorsten11: I didn't see it there, but I might of missed it due to the like hundred kismet entrys. I havnt rebooted yet, so that might be it [06:08] can someone say my name so I can see if the sound is working right [06:08] paul68: The system is designed so that you shouldn't have to use nautilus to do system management. [06:08] vbman11: try running gtk-window-decorator [06:08] rfxcasey: [06:09] lianimator: it's not doing anything [06:09] RyanPrior: very true but since I'm still learning I use it as an escape route if it happens [06:09] lianimator: (in the term) [06:09] hello all. ive set up nfs between 2 ubuntu machines..i can get it to mount...but i cant add files from the client..says permission denied. [06:10] hi all, I'm getting a segmentation fault in one of the apps, any idea how can I locate the source of the segmentation fault? [06:10] vbman11: try Alt+F2 [06:10] vbman11: also try metacity --replace [06:10] paul68: Escape routes which make it easy for you to screw up your entire system are not wise ones to use, much less teach to others. [06:11] lianimator: that is the exact same thing as running it in the term, you just don't get output [06:11] after i used syslinux on my mp3 player to install ubuntu from it i cant remove songs and such, its only readable [06:11] prince_jammys, can you do that again [06:11] shirish: Recompile the binary with debugging symbols and use gdb to find where it's faulting.

[06:12] rfxcasey: what is it, a sound notifier? [06:12] RyanPrior: I'm not teaching others to do so I know I have a lot to learn and basicly this happens to me when I'm remote connected to my server and created after maintenance a directory which shouldn't have created under root. I will never use nautilus on system files under root [06:12] lianimator: yes, infact im using it right now [06:13] rdw200161: nope :[ [06:13] prince_jammys, yeah an xchat plugin [06:13] lianimator: using metacity that is [06:13] "~$ vncviewer localhost.localdomain:0; main: unable to resolve host by name: Connection timed out (110)."

[06:13] vbman11: window decorations is enabled in compiz? try default settings [06:13] Why cant i write to mp3 player? it says its only readable?

[06:14] fallore: wow, just like yesterday (or the day before, i can't remember..) [06:14] gtg=got togo [06:14] !mythtv [06:14] RyanPrior: Doesnt that mean I'd have to reformat and reinstall?

[06:23] hi. is there something going on? all the mirrors i try are incredibly slow. [06:23] and ikt's not my internet connection. [06:24] does anyone have experience getting steam working in ubuntu? [06:24] chx: New release just came out, so expect the mirrors to be clogged for a week or so. [06:24] oh :( [06:24] !anyone | ortreehugger [06:24] ortreehugger: 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? [06:24] kandjar: there is an official guide to ssh-agent (more verbose than the man page). i think it's linked to in the ubuntu help link. if not, try google, or perhaps someone else knows here. i have that set up, but i don't remember how it's done [06:24] hey guys [06:24] i thought that goes away after a day or two. [06:24] i use ubuntu and my friend does. how do we video chat? [06:24] how can i be the next Bill Gates? [06:24] what application should i use? [06:24] chx, it has only been a day or two - the new release was Friday [06:24] rfxcasey: practice [06:25] chx: Ubuntu has millions of users, many of whom all use the same mirrors. :-) [06:25] chx: Are you trying to upgrade to the new distro? [06:25] rfxcasey: learn to rip people off, and be at the right place at the right time. [06:25] no. I just want to run aptitude safe-update. [06:25] maybe I will copy linux this time [06:25] I think I might even skip Intrepid. [06:25] yeah, i wouldn't be surprised if the mass rush for updates had a big impact on worldwide bandwidth [06:25] how do you get steam running through wine? [06:25] albeit a small one... [06:25] On the desktop. I am considering the laptop because of the nice NetworkManager. I could use a better NM for sure. [06:26] chx: Yeah, I may skip Intrepid too, unless I buy a new computer soon. In that case, I'll just install whatever's newest. [06:26] ortreehugger: the easiest way is through cedega [06:26] 12.1kbyte/s is .... huh. [06:26] where can I go to get answers about connection problems [06:26] RyanPrior: in the q=yourkeywords part how would i write a space?

I dont even need games to work, just steam friends [06:26] fallore: dude, just try w3m [06:27] fallore: a) I lied and told you it would be google.com/?q=yourkeywords -- it should actually be google.com/search?q=yourkeywords b) spaces are %20 [06:27] hm [06:27] so i did a fresh install of Intrepid [06:27] ortreehugger: http://www.transgaming.com/ [06:27] I do not see a list https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+archivemirrors whether the mirror has universe, multiverse or not :( nto all has.

[06:27] Anyone else having problems with loosing permissions on /dev/snd after doing hard reboot? [06:27] ortreehugger: Codeweavers also has a nice game wine solution [06:27] rfxcasey: Naturally we want Ubuntu to "just work" [06:27] ortreehugger: and they are nicer to wine project [06:27] can someone help me get wine [06:28] chx, that's what i'm referring to [06:28] can someone please tell me what command shutdown button>suspend executes? [06:28] rfxcasey: However, we always have problems. If you give us as much info as possible, we can hopefully help you work past yourts. [06:28] !anyone | Nathan406 [06:28] i give up on ubuntu for now. i'm going to get on xp [06:28] Nathan406: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..."

See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine for more information, and see !AppDB for application compatibility. [06:28] ortreehugger: you missed the boat. they handed out free serials this Tuesday/Wednesday. [06:29] geez, checking /var/log/auth, one computer is trying like crazy to log in my server [06:29] oh ha. Of course, *that* mirror is fast. Stupid me. [06:29] RyanPrior, I just installed ubuntu on my spare machine. I run it on my main machine and it worked out the box but with my other machine I don't get an ip address [06:29] chx: haha, bummer [06:29] darkbishop: He actually asked an answerable question, no need to pull !anyone on that. :-) [06:29] hello there. i have a friend who has a new laptop with an i965 in it. when he boots up ubuntu he gets the starting music it displays a white and grey screen with like large rectangles composed of some weird white and grey pattern, and then it freezes, nothing happens. [06:29] rfxcasey: You're using DHPC I assume? [06:29] 8.10 this is [06:29] RyanPrior, yes sir [06:30] "~$ vncviewer localhost.localdomain:0; main: unable to resolve host by name: Connection timed out (110)." What is wrong with my command? [06:30] of course if a certain place has internet for 38 years they have damned fat pipes.... [06:30] So no problems after hard reboots? How odd tat its just me then.... [06:30] what's the name of the add/remove applications program? it seems to have frozen, and i can't install/remove stuff while it's still up [06:30] rfxcasey: So one box gets an IP but the other doesn't - perhaps ask in #networking, unless you've got some reason to be sure it's a NetworkManager problem. [06:30] Coldhak: either synaptic or gnome-app-install [06:30] is there some issue with intel cards in ubuntu 8.10? i thought they had best drivers [06:31] RyanPrior: there is a #networking ???? [06:31] chx: I lied, it's actually ##networking -- but yes, it exists. [06:31] xsacha: I dont think there is an isssue with intel gfx. [06:31] does "pam_unix(cron:session): session opened for user root" means he managed to get connected??? [06:32] prince_jammys, thanks, it was gnome-app-install [06:32] RyanPrior: interesting. That might come handy some times. [06:32] Coldhak: cool [06:32] * r00tintheb0x yawns. [06:32] hi [06:32] hi [06:32] judgen: do you know what could explain the white and grey screen with like large rectangles composed of some weird white and grey pattern when booting ubuntu 8.10? [06:32] Whats up guys and gals. [06:32] RyanPrior, well ubuntu sees my network card, and tries to connect when I plug in my network cable to the back of the machine, but it never gets an ip. I just install ubuntu over kubuntu and kubuntu connected just fine [06:32] xsacha, GDM resolution settings. [06:33] rfxcasey: can the LiveCD connect? The Kubuntu 8.10 LiveCD? [06:33] r00tintheb0x: it freezes after this. cant get in to ubuntu [06:33] (this is at login.. can hear the starting music) [06:33] xsacha, dualboot? [06:33] i need serious video encoding help! i am trying to encode an .flv file to .avi or .mpeg that windows media player can play! i have tried ~20 different combinations of audio and video encoding, but most do not play there or sound delays when you click the bar to seek to another position. I use avidemux [06:33] xsacha, can you get to a command line? [06:33] yes it is dual boot with vista [06:33] !vista | xsacha [06:34] xsacha: vista is a recent version of Microsoft Windows. Discussion on Windows related topics is available in ##windows. General issues on moving from Windows to Ubuntu is convered in the wiki guide at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwitchingToUbuntu/FromWindows [06:34] xsacha: how early on does those squares appear? [06:34] havent tried but i guess [06:34] lol [06:34] oops, not what I was looking for. [06:34] judgen: when the starting music sounds.. [06:34] xsacha, you need to check out /var/log/X.0.log [06:34] i believe it is. [06:34] RyanPrior, I will try [06:34] alright so pastebin the Xorg.0.log? [06:34] is it called X.0.log now? [06:34] /var/log/Xorg.0.log [06:34] thats it. [06:35] rdw200161: cedega costs money doesnt it? is there anyway to get steam working for free? [06:35] xsacha: if you could get to the terminal then you can reconfigure the xserver. Its probably just a flawed xorg.conf file [06:35] You need to go through that, that will tell you the problem. [06:35] ortreehugger: sure, it's not as easy though === Kwitschibo_ is now known as Kwitschibo [06:35] RyanPrior, hey say my name again [06:35] ortreehugger: you should start here...

[06:35] rfxcasey rfxcasey rfxcasey rfxcasey [06:35] the only combination that works is raw video and raw audio, but makes the file 400MB big from 6MB. keep in mind that i have to fit ~15 videos like that one on a single cd or dvd disk [06:35] yeah you could do that.

[07:56] I'm currently on a non-ubuntu linux distro.. if I made a new partition for ubuntu (to try it out) can ubuntu use the same SWAP partition as my other distro? [07:56] streenz: Yes. [07:56] devin_: The menu.lst has a sample one near the top. Copy it all the way to the bottom (after ##end debian automagic kernel list). sdb1 is equivalent to (hd1,1) in grub-speak [07:56] wgrant - awesome, thanks [07:57] Flannel: like craps or blackjack [07:57] Hey guys, I just ran into a weird error while changing resolutions with an emulator, that restarting x didn't fix but rebooting did, it seemed like my mouse pointer was showing how much of the screen would get drawn [07:57] !netflix [07:57] Sorry, I don't know anything about netflix [07:58] !mount [07:58] For help with partitioning a new install see: https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/switching/installing-partitioning.html - For partitioning programs see !GParted or !QTParted - Other partitioning topics include !fstab !home and !swap [07:58] i was just wondering if anyone even knows what I'm talking about and what the issue is [07:58] ..or [07:58] !stab [07:58] Sorry, I don't know anything about stab [07:58] doh [07:58] histo: gnome-games has some games. blackjack yes.

You see, my system crashed so i've booted from a livecd and there fore is the mysqld server not running. Any idea how to solve this problem ? [07:59] Guys, i need some help regarding ATI drivers. i have a compaq 6715b with ati x1200 graph card. the graphic drivers that comes with ubuntu have been working nice, but i wanted to try the "ENVY" drivers.. so i installed envy and the ati driver there.. since then i am unable to start the gui(gnome) [08:00] hmm [08:00] ubottu, envy | generalsnus [08:00] generalsnus: 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 [08:01] i'm trying to kill a process, and it isn't working. top says totem is taking ~99% CPU constantly, and there is nothing running that would use totem. I've tried killall totem, sudo killall totem, kill , sudo kill Ok, but how do i fix this.. so i can start gnome again? [08:01] My hard drive was recently corrupted, After installing a new one, I went about reinstalling Ubuntu. I use the daily build of the amd64 alternate install (hardy heron). When I started to install I was givin the option to automatically separate all of the partitions, /var /tmp /home /boot /, how do I get that option again? [08:01] shear: kill -9 totem [08:02] shear: kill -9 (Process ID) [08:02] whats -9 [08:02] ? [08:02] any1 can help me, what should I install to my ubuntu so that I can use phpmyadmin [08:02] cishpix: mysql and apache [08:02] and php of course [08:02] Mafjus, nope [08:02] is there a ispconfig channel here? [08:02] :\ [08:03] any one using orkut??? [08:03] my firefox crashes sometimes when i open up a new profile [08:03] is ispconfig even powerful enough to have its own channel [08:03] lol [08:03] I use a dock (AWN) and don't need the gnome-panels, how do I remove them? (sudo) killall gnome-panel doesn't work as the panel just restarts again. [08:04] Mafjus, it's still running [08:04] XB23, You kill it very much :) [08:04] Shear, okej. [08:04] XB23: I can't browse php file from browser [08:04] anyone know why the new version of gwenview has no tool bar, no settings, and no rename option? [08:04] shear, do a ps aux | grep totem [08:05] cishpix: then php isnt installed [08:05] www.php.net [08:05] Aeosynth, right-click on each panel, "Delete this panel" [08:05] shear, and paste the results to me in a priv chat [08:05] OR its not confiured [08:05] which webserver are you using? [08:05] "pci 0000:00:1a.7: EHCI: BIOS handoff failed (BIOS bug?)" I have a toshiba satellite a300 Ubuntu 8.10 AMD64. It seems to add at least 15 seconds to boot time. It seems the device is USB2 Doesn't seem to be anything in my BIOS to disable USB only USB legacy but that didnt' work. [08:05] generalsnus: log in with failsafe, remove the envy drivers, restart X [08:06] XB23: I've install apache2-mpm-prefork apache2-utils apache2.2-common libapache2-mod-php5 libapr1 libaprutil1 libgd2-xpm libmcrypt4 libpq5 libt1-5 php5-common php5-gd php5-mcrypt php5-mysql phpmyadmin [08:06] so my xorg.conf crapped... ive tried using a backup and all.. but to no avail... gnome will still not start [08:06] generalsnus: the latest ATI drivers are dodgy anyway - you can't suspend or hibernate your system with them for example [08:06] i cant activate desktop effects on my laptop and intrepid 64bit [08:06] XB23: does it has any problem? [08:07] how do you mean. [08:07] generalsnus: can you log in to a failsafe gnome session? [08:07] I just messed up my external hard drive. I wanted to mount it to /home/disk, but it didn't go exactly as planned. How can I make it go back to how it originally was mounted when I first installed Ubuntu? It automounted, and such. Now, it's automounting on /media/disk-1, and I can't get it to mount at /media/disk/. mtab says, "/dev/sdb1 /media/disk-1 ext3 rw,nosuid,nodev,uhelper=hal 0 0". fstab says there's nothing mounted in regards to my exter [08:07] nal drive. dmesg | tail shows, http://pastebin.ca/1243844 [08:08] dovel: im logged in to terminal, if thats what you mean [08:08] XB23: I can't browse php file from my mozilla [08:08] How do I get the gnome-panel to stay dead after I've killed it? [08:08] cishpix: you dont [08:08] generalsnus: no, can you get a normal graphical login screen? [08:08] gdm? [08:09] php isnt a browsable file its a interpreater [08:09] Aeosynth: you need to go into Preferences > Sessions > Selection gnome-panel and click remove then make sure you save the current session and it shouldnt start again [08:09] hello everybody. are there any news about nvidia geforce4 drivers and ubuntu 8.10? i tried to set it up yesterday on a clean disk, but it still only runs with nv drivers. the nvidia module cannot be built. [08:09] on boot up screen, i can choose recovery and normal boot... so no graphical :/ [08:10] if I have an AMD64 processor but only 2 gigs of ram, what is the benefit to running the 64 bit ubuntu vs the 32 bit one? (i have no plans to upgrade to > 4GB ram) [08:10] generalsnus: what happens when you boot up as normal and let it go to the normal log in screen? [08:11] WIG: I'm using Intrepid Ibex and that option isn't there; that's I did before [08:11] streenz: this is debatable, using a true 64bit application on a true 64bit operating system it will run faster, because you can process more then 32bits at a time. but the difference is mostly unnoticeable to the average person. [08:11] XB23: yes, I know it but I can open url localhost/phpmyadmin. [08:11] I guess what I said was too much to read. :( [08:11] gnome panel isn't one of the startup programs listed [08:12] when i boot normal, it just stops and hangs at: checking battery -ok- .. at that point i need to ctrl+alt+f1 to get console [08:12] i use gnome and i want to write my university booklets in my laptop. do you any suggest that what software is suitable for me? [08:12] WIGGMPk - is there a downside to using the 64bit? [08:12] generalsnus: try sudo apt-get remove fglrx [08:12] streenz: if you dont have over 3GB of RAM you probably wont benefit from using the amd64 build. Although the linux community (ubuntu mostly) offers 64bit application ports, it will be more difficult to find things built for the 64bit arch. So sometimes you might have to build from source. [08:12] streenz: was getting to that.. hehe =( [08:13] cishpix: localhost/phpMyAmin [08:13] cishpix: localhost/phpMyAdmin [08:13] try that, caps sensative [08:13] WIGGMPk - okay thanks.. me being nearer the "total noob" end of the Linux user spectrum, I shall stick to 32bit :-P [08:14] Its killing me man I can't figure out how to change KDE fonts in Ubuntu 8.10. I've tried both System Settings and Qtconfig [08:14] if i do startx, i get various errors such as: fatal server error / firegl_setsuspendresumestate failed -9 / screeninit failed..etc etc [08:14] stick with gnome [08:14] dovel ok a sec [08:14] streenz: but you could use that as a pro or a con. by compiling from source it will teach you a bit about making packages and building. it depends how much leg work you wanna do. If your a "total noob" I would recommend the 32bit for a better Ubuntu experience. and later move to the 64 bit if you want to play around. [08:14] XB23: the error is "The requested URL /phpMyAdmin/ was not found on this server." [08:15] I would say use 64 but to get the most out of your machine [08:15] Amarok is a the best player though, but the font is killing me [08:15] XB23: if I open localhost/phpmyadmin, there is a dialog box about download file [08:16] How do I stop gnome-panel from reloading after I kill it? Ibex doesn't have that in Session Prefernces [08:16] Guest93560: try installing kcontrol [08:16] Aeosynth: Ibex doesnt have the "Session Options" tab [08:16] dovel: E: couldnt find pack fglrx .. think i already tried to uninstall it [08:16] XshoppyX Kcontrol doesn't exist anymore :( [08:17] oh didnt know that [08:17] generalsnus: my mistake - just finding the package names now [08:17] Guest93560 are you running gnome or kde? [08:18] hey, if i have crossover games, do i still need to use crossover office for office apps? [08:18] Aeosynth: So there is no tab labeled "Session Options" in Ibex??? [08:18] nope [08:18] XshoppyX Gnome [08:18] do you want me to send a screenshot? [08:18] there are only 2 tabs - startup programs and options [08:18] Aeosynth: weird, wish I knew how to get rid of the gnome-panel [08:18] hey, if i have crossover games, do i still need to use crossover office for office apps?? [08:18] can someone help me install qbittorent on hardy...the qbittorent site is for intrepid [08:19] zeroanhero: Please wait more than 31 seconds between questions. [08:19] sorry, slipped [08:19] Is kde3 still installed? [08:19] rc.dal.net [08:19] Aeosynth: I myself would rather use AWN then have the gnome-panel around, thats the only way I can think of disabling it. You might be able to write a script to kill all the gnome-panels on startup [08:20] My hard drive was recently corrupted, After installing a new one, I went about reinstalling Ubuntu. I use the daily build of the amd64 alternate install (hardy heron). When I started to install I was givin the option to automatically separate all of the partitions, /var /tmp /home /boot /, how do I get that option again? [08:20] is there some place in the GUI to access hostname- changes...? alledegly in system/systemadmin and network but that dosent seem to exist in ibex... [08:20] generalsnus: try sudo apt-get remove xorg-driver-fglrx-envy [08:21] Guest93560: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=748043 [08:21] wig: I'm using AWN too, that's why I want to disable it. I'm not sure killing the gnome-panel on startup would work either because it's set to reload. Any way to just change it to stop reloading? [08:21] wgrant: may i ask where you came up with that rule by chance? [08:21] poplar: Common sense. [08:22] generalsnus: if that doesn't work, type locate fglrx and apt-get remove any packages with that name (the ones in /var/cache/apt/archives will give you the package names) [08:22] dovel: xorg-driver-fglrx // fglrx-kernel-source-envy was removed [08:22] Aeosynth: I havent used Ibex yet, and since Feisty, disabling it in the "Current Session" then saving the current session in "Session Options" is the only way I have done it [08:22] XshoppyX It says you need kcontrol installed its not the repository anymore.. [08:22] generalsnus: try rebooting now - that should have done it - I hope:P === guga is now known as guga|ucsd [08:23] kdeadmin isnt in the repository? [08:23] hey guys on intrepid I am noticing that if I open a text file gedit takes forever to load is this a known issue/ [08:23] coz_: Turn off the browser pane plugin [08:24] XshoppyX it doesn't have the kcontrol package in it [08:24] wgrant, ok let me try if it ever opens :) [08:24] WIGGMPK: thanks anyway [08:25] Ok well have you tried configuring it inside of amarok? [08:25] generalsnus: don't worry about xorg.conf - xorg should rewrite it itself [08:25] what's the best tool to controll our ubuntu server? [08:25] XshoppyX yeah but some of the fonts are still big :( [08:25] if i used intrepid backports will i be able to install qbittorent, and if true what is the source === `TonY_ is now known as `TonY [08:25] ISPConfig, or EHCP> [08:25] wgrant, the problem is this http://picpaste.com/Screenshot-Unsaved_Document_1_-_gedit.png thats what I am getting when it finally opens and I have to force quit [08:25] ?

[08:26] wgrant, it doesnt go beyond that screenshot [08:26] <`TonY> st, search for png fix [08:27] generalsnus: what ati card do you have again? [08:27] coz_: Wait a couple of minutes and disable the browser pane plugin. It should wake up eventually. [08:27] been googling but no luck [08:27] coz_: Did you upgrade? My default installation works fine. [08:27] <`TonY> st, it is a javascript you plugin into your html for that [08:27] wgrant, no clean install [08:27] st: try #html, #webdev, or #css [08:27] coz_: Huh. [08:27] <`TonY> st, follow Flannel [08:27] generalsnus: and are you running a desktop or server install of ubuntu? [08:27] wgrant, it worked fine until I did the system updates though [08:27] can someone help me install qbittorent on hardy...the qbittorent site is for intrepid [08:27] coz_: Which updates? [08:28] dovel: lspci: RS690M Radeon x1200 series [08:28] wgrant, after initially cd installation there were update including kernel updates [08:28] thanks [08:28] i have a question... i have forgot my login name and pass. and have install ubuntu in windows is there anyway i can look in that map to c my account name and pass?

[08:29] popey, :) I am fast becoming a "non fan: of intrepid :) [08:29] popey, sorry guy [08:29] poplar, that was for you I am fast becoming a "non-fan" of intrepid :) [08:30] pzykoman: I've never installed in Windows... but you have to go through grub to get to Ubuntu, right? [08:30] when i start the cpu i can choose either windows or ubuntu [08:30] Is it the Windows boot menu or grub? [08:30] is there a website that explains exactly the difference between hardy/intrepid/gutsy etc. or is it a quick 1 line answer?

[08:31] TonY it can only select so many torrents, which i just found out after what seemed like half an hour of researching the torrents [08:31] !repeat | WIGGMPk [08:31] WIGGMPk: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://wiki.ubuntu.com while you wait. Also see !patience [08:31] dovel: desktop, and as i mentioned.. it worked perfectly, before i was stupid enough to try the envy drivers :P [08:31] pzykoman: I don't know if it goes through the windows bootloader...

Gutsy = 10/../2007, Hardy = 4/../2008, Intrepid = 10/../2008 [08:33] if i used intrepid backports will i be able to install qbittorent, and if true what is the source [08:33] streenz: to dumb it down Gutsy was the release before Hardy Heron; which is an LTS release (Long Term Support) known for its stability and you could say hesitant with upgrades in favor of stability. Intrepid Ibex is the newest verison of Ubuntu, The Ubuntu OS has a 6 month release cycle, meaning every 6 months there will be a newer version of Ubuntu, including the newest features linux has to offer (often reffered to as "bleedin [08:33] coz_: Excellent. It's odd that it causes problems on only a few systems. [08:33] On one of my Hardy computers runs a process vino-server but on another not. What program did call this process automatically?

They can be dangerous [08:49] !ppa > deever [08:49] deever, please see my private message [08:49] Change the default font for kde 3.5 apps in Gnome [08:50] streenz: all ata etc drives show up as sda now [08:50] Guest48487-> ever thought about compiling it? shouldnt be as hard as compiling a kde4 application [08:51] dovel: what do you mean by now? because I have an IDE drive shows as hda in Hardy [08:51] dovel - this is in ubuntu you are speaking of? I'm not running ubuntu.. I'm running PCLinuxOS and one shows as "hdb" which I read was ata, and one is sda (which confused me because I didnt realize I had a serial ATA drive) [08:52] I'm downloading ubuntu as we speak [08:52] streenz: I wouldn't know about pclinuxos, but my ata drives have shown up as sda since feisty [08:52] "pci 0000:00:1a.7: EHCI: BIOS handoff failed (BIOS bug?)" I have a toshiba satellite a300 Ubuntu 8.10 AMD64. It seems to add at least 15 seconds to boot time. It seems the device is USB2 Doesn't seem to be anything in my BIOS to disable USB only USB legacy but that didnt' work. [08:53] streenz: you are correct streenz, generally hda = IDE/EIDE (Parrallel ATA) and sda = SCIS/Seral ATA [08:54] what is the speed difference between serial ATA and normal ATA? .. or is this too off topic [08:54] streenz: something about the drivers they use [08:55] streenz: you'd have to look that up for exact figures, but Serial ATA is newer technology and yields faster data transfer bandwidth [08:55] They're both limited largely by mechanicals though [08:55] using evolution-calendar, I cannot change the action of the alarme === XshoppyX is now known as XshoppyX_idle [08:55] I would like to send myself emails as an alarme sometimes [08:56] But it is not possible to change/add any actions [08:56] dovel: woah, I didnt notice it changed, sorry about that streenz: dovel is very correct that all hard drives will show up as sda. sorry about that dovel [08:57] The only oportunity is a popup [08:57] WIGGMPk: at least until next week when the kernel crew decide to make them hda again [08:58] LSD|Ninja: seriously? [08:58] sarcasm + internet = confusion [08:58] How can I automount /media/disk/? Everything time I go to mount manuallly, it says, " mount: can't find /media/disk/ in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab" [08:59] add the entry to /etc/fstab [08:59] J-_: what command are you running? [08:59] J-_: for "mount /media/disk" on its own to work, it has to be in fstab [08:59] J-_: to mount manually you have to specify more options (fstype, devnode) [09:00] ziroday: ok, but this seems more for developers...mb i'll take the package for gutsy [09:00] prevu didn't work, how do i remove it? it just used hardy [09:00] When I went to install Ubuntu Alternate AMD64 (Daily), I was given the option to auto partition the hard drive to separate /var /home /tmp /usr /, how can I get this option again? After restarting it did not give me this option again???

I was just wanting your opinion on virtulising options. I am currently using vbox but finding it a bit slow, i know there is vmware i can try i was just after peoples opinions as to which products are best? [09:07] `cat /var/log/syslog|grep -i cron` should get you some results AdvoWork . [09:07] where can I check the list of packages that are included in Ubuntu 8.10 DESKTOP distribution? === Jguy2 is now known as Jguy [09:08] tparcina: http://packages.ubuntu.com/ [09:08] belim, I'm actually playing around with virtualbox right now. [09:08] how do i completely remove kubuntu and edubuntu files [09:08] i removed them but are still in menu the applications [09:08] how you finding it? [09:08] streenz: thank you! [09:08] tparcina : http://packages.ubuntu.com/intrepid/ specifically for 8.10 [09:09] belim, just tried vboxgtk, it seems kinda buggy. If you go with vbox, I'd stick with the QT front-end. VMWare is also good, but I hate having to keep track of my serial, and usually end up having to register for a new one every time I install. :-P [09:09] I'm having the exact problem described here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=968391 . I don't know how to do what he posted as a solution (find my busid and edit xorg through a terminal). Can anyone help? [09:09] You don't need a serial for vbox [09:10] where are packages stored in ubuntu? [09:10] histo: No, but you do for VMWare. [09:10] anyone using Acer Aspire 5580 laptop with Intrepid?? [09:11] poplar, still cant see anything about that, or even around the time the script runs [09:12] guys my hotmail on firefox in ubuntu dosnt work, when i go to the site and try to compose a new message, the text field for the message is disabled but everything else works...anyone come across this before? [09:12] ok guys.. gonna go home.. chow.. [09:12] is there any list for the 3G phones that Ubuntu 8.10 support?? [09:12] varun: must be ur browser [09:12] ciao, darkbishop_ [09:12] Quick question: What's a simple command to run any linux executable from terminal? [09:12] toastedmilk; sudo gedit [09:12] I want to buy a new phone that i can use to use the internet in the new ubuntu! HElP [09:12] how do i completely remove kubuntu? [09:13] toastedmilk: i'm sure there's a better answer, but usually just typing the name of the executable works for me. certainly works for firefox lol [09:13] Can anyone make any recommendations on partition sizes for /boot, /tmp, /var, /usr, /home, /, swap on a 160GB hard drive? [09:13] and edubutu [09:13] sudo aptitude purge kubuntu ? [09:13] i tried Opera aswell [09:13] sj_: sudo apt-get autoremove kubuntu-desktop --purge [09:13] varun: are u running 8.1? [09:14] jim_p: that will just remove the meta package [09:14] it's the same with edubuntu [09:14] I [09:14] yes, when i run IE6 on wine it works [09:14] c0mp13371331337, ive not even tried the gtk front end. thing with vbox is that it seems slow and laggy. i dunno if thats my laptop but it is pretty good spec. intel c2d T9400, 4gb memory! [09:14] but not with firefox or opera [09:14] i might test vmware [09:14] it dosnt work on 7.10 aswell [09:14] i removed them synaptic packaage but nothing happened [09:15] what is the easiest way to configure xorg? [09:16] i cant seem to edit my xorg.conf to display above 60hz, does anyone know an easy way to configure xorg? [09:16] jengo: nothing is easy... [09:17] i removed kubuntu and edubuntu via synaptic package but nothing happened [09:17] belim: virtualbox runs fine on my system. Any virtualization is bound to bring just about any system to its knees. Took my system 1 Windows XP VM, 1 GOS VM, 1 Ubuntu VM and 1 OpenSUSE VM all running simultaneously to slow it down a bit. Haven't done that kind of stress-test with VMWare at all though. [09:17] My bluetooth worked in kubuntu 8.10 RC1 but now doesn't even register in ubuntu 8.10 final. [09:17] then can you tell me a complicated way? [09:17] i want also to see the in boot [09:17] i just need to fix this [09:17] Jengo: other than manual editing, run "X -configure" without X running. it will generate a xorg.conf.new in root which tou have to copy to /etc/X11 [09:17] if i install them how can i do that? [09:17] momal: lsusb? [09:17] belim: As I said, my biggest qualm with VMWare is the whole 'serial' thing. [09:18] jim-p: my xorg.conf file is fine, i just need to figure out what to edit to get above 60hz [09:18] jim-p: i know my monitor supports higher refresh rate, i just cant find the info i need [09:19] the xorg wiki doesnt seem to work right now [09:19] :( [09:19] will any nokia or sonyericsson 3G phone work with Ubuntu 8.10??? [09:20] Jengo: whicj monitor is it? [09:20] jim_p: Its a toshiba satellite a300 built in bluetooth it doens't show up at all with lsusb (the bluetooth does work in vista so its not broken) [09:20] jim-p: hp p1230 [09:20] momal: in lspci?

[09:28] hi [09:28] i wonder if anyone can help me on my wireless card [09:29] jim_p: I am wondering if its because there is no toshiba or toshiba_acpi modules at the moment anymore. I didn't check if they were in the RC or not. Any ideas on how I can get it work the bluetooth applet for gnome doens't seem to pick up any of my phones [09:29] Petester, just tell the problem and someone might help you [09:29] momal: can you remove every usb device and run lsusb again? [09:29] momal: except the bluetooth dongle [09:30] hullo. does anybody know a commandline tool for converting xls(2007) to pdf? [09:30] Petester: let me guess... it works but you cant scan for wireless networks?

[09:31] yeah, the guied pointed me to madwifi drivers [09:31] i tried it, it worked yesterday but not now [09:32] oh [09:32] hm [09:32] My ssh connection is still asking for a password, doesn't even ask for the passphrase, can anyone help?

[09:36] [$ids] [09:36] jim_p: I am fairly certain if i switch it off it dispears from the list then turning it back on it doesn't work rebooting doesn't bring it back. If i boot vista and activate the bluetooth leave it on then reboot to ubuntu it appears again [09:36] Pawsy: try this guide: http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=5673157&postcount=9 [09:36] Pawsy: either ath9k or ath5k will do the job [09:36] at leat i worked fo rme [09:36] for one day [09:36] lol [09:37] LF|Irssi; sudo gedit /etc/fstab [09:37] xls -> pdf in commnadline. any clues?

[09:38] jim_p: my guess is its either the wireless or bluetooth.. but my wireless works fine and stops when i turn it off and works fine again when i turn it on. [09:38] <[SWE]Westburp> I think i fixed it, THANK YOU anyway!!!! :P [09:38] kandjar: obviously on the server [09:39] momal: does wireless and bluetooth turn on with the same button? [09:39] * Falcons_roost is away: Givin enough time I will come back to earth [09:39] visik7: yes, obviously :) [09:39] kandjar: try to explicit the user [09:39] jim_p: yeah its just the one switch that disables the wireless and bluetooth at the same time. [09:40] visik7: ssh kandjar@... didnt work [09:40] can anybody help? [09:40] using edubuntu 8.10 ltsp server, when thin clients boots, the booting stops at this message: "ltsp disconnecting: que, disconnect, sock, done" whats wrong? [09:40] visik7: ssh -l kandjar ... didnt work either [09:40] I wanted to try the kde-desktop but when I installed kubuntu from the synaptic package manager it also put on all the kde programs (such as konqueror kontact etc) I then when back to synaptic package manager and uninstalled the kubuntu-desktop but all the other kubuntu programs are still installed. I don't want them anymore and I don't want to have to go into synaptic package manager to... [09:40] ...individually select each program to remove them. Is there an easy way to completely remove the kubuntu items and restore just the ubuntu portion? [09:40] visik7: also tried -2 without succeed [09:40] Whats a good FTP server? [09:40] kandjar: explicit the key with -i [09:41] SJr|Nbook: vsftpd [09:41] visik7: also tried that... didnt work [09:41] Is it simple and secure? [09:41] SJr|Nbook: or pureftpd [09:41] frybye: Yeah. The link had some screenshots for the alsamixer levels. I suspect that (somehow) alsamixer is muting things anyway even though it's set not to. Not really sure. [09:41] I want something simple, secure [09:41] SJr|Nbook: vs stand for very secure [09:41] SJr|Nbook: dunno about the simple [09:41] kandjar: I'm out of advice :\ [09:41] when ubuntu starts it stays Checking Quotas seems to take ages [09:42] any ideas? [09:42] visik7: doh :( [09:42] does anyone know if its possible to get outlook working through wine? I need it for exchange support as this is a work laptop [09:43] i suppose it would [09:43] although i doubt > 2003 would [09:43] whats the command to see all your drives? [09:43] why else wouldnt a cronjob run? theres nothing in the logs, it runs fine if i do it manually [09:43] anyone else??? [09:43] how do i install ubuntu within another distro [09:43] visik7: thanks anyway [09:44] FSCK_FSCK_FSCK, vmware or similar. [09:44] kandjar: but are you tring to do it with the root account ? [09:44] FSCK_FSCK_FSCK, try virtualbox [09:44] no i want to install it for real [09:45] visik7: it's not the root account, but it's the main account yes [09:45] FSCK_FSCK_FSCK, doesnt work like that [09:45] it should be possible though, all it has to do is copy some files [09:45] kandjar: no I mean root [09:45] visik7: nop [09:46] FSCK_FSCK_FSCK, No it shouldn't be possible. an Operating System isn't the same as any other program. [09:46] can anybody please help..? [09:46] i was just in under the name pawsy about a problem with the wifi on my acer 5315 laptop [09:46] kandjar: if I were in you I would try with another user restarting from the beginning [09:47] in this case it is since i won't be needing grub on the mbr since it's already there [09:47] what if i install it on vmware then copy the files [09:47] visik7 any reason why ls doesn't list any directories in vsftpd? [09:47] well i was looking through that link and started to do it but it refers to a madwifi site, and seeing as how madwifi is down, i can't use it [09:47] Petester, wht you want ? [09:47] FSCK_FSCK_FSCK, if you're not going to listen to the answers, why ask? [09:47] SJr|Nbook: ls in vsftpd ? sorry I don't follow you [09:47] oh it's back now, sorry [09:47] visik7: I dont understand why it's not asking for the passphrase... [09:47] the ls command when I browse to the ftp server returns nothing [09:48] the dir command returns a folder [09:48] what is a good image editor / viewer for ubuntu that is small and easy to use [09:48] well the ls doesn't return directories [09:48] no i take it back, madwifi.org is down [09:48] "no, you can't do it" isn't really an answer, so my question still stands :) [09:48] FSCK_FSCK_FSCK, Yes it is an answer. It's a No, it cannot be done. So your answer is solved. [09:48] ... [09:49] FSCK_FSCK_FSCK, we cannot just conjure a way. [09:49] FSCK_FSCK_FSCK - why dont you make a new partition and install it to that? [09:49] could anyone actually explain why it's not possible [09:49] FSCK_FSCK_FSCK: I must have missed the question, what did you ask? [09:49] because so far nobody has [09:49] because you touch yourself at night fsckfsckfsck [09:49] if its possible to install ubuntu on vmware and copy the files to a real partition on my system [09:49] FSCK_FSCK_FSCK, Because it's an operating system. Not a program. It has to work with devices and it won't work inside another OS. Get over it. [09:50] ... [09:50] can i boot ubuntu with skipping checking quotas? [09:50] FSCK_FSCK_FSCK: actually, yes it is possible. [09:50] youre not even getting the question bioselement [09:50] i dont want to BOOT it from within my running distro [09:50] FSCK_FSCK_FSCK - you want a second distro on the save drive as your first? [09:50] FSCK_FSCK_FSCK: but not block for block. you need to firstly, tar up everything on the OS excluding /dev /proc and /sys into a single large tar. This needs to be done through a rescue CD (to remove media) [09:50] FSCK_FSCK_FSCK, Here's your question you stated a minute ago. "how do i install ubuntu within another distro" [09:50] same drive, yes, same partition, no [09:50] could someone just give me a straight forward yes or no answer to the question: is it possible to get my wifi working without madwifi.org? [09:51] FSCK_FSCK_FSCK: the recovery is somewhat similar. Use a recovery CD and setup the target partitions and filesystems. Ideally to make the guest. Then unrar to / [09:51] FSCK_FSCK_FSCK: yuou'll be missing a loader in the MBR, you'll need to rectify that. [09:51] already have grub installed [09:51] FSCK_FSCK_FSCK: are you talking about having it running along-side another linux distro at the *same time*? [09:51] well its not been installed right [09:52] no [09:52] why not just use virtualization FSCK_FSCK_FSCK? [09:52] just install it [09:52] FSCK_FSCK_FSCK: if so, you can but its silly. Half of it wont work, and it'll nmeed to be chrooted. [09:52] FSCK_FSCK_FSCK: for dual-boot? [09:52] volume is very low in my new ibex install - anyone have the answer? [09:52] yeah [09:52] wallan: yeah. open up the "foward" mixer in your mixer settings. turn that one up too ;) [09:52] FSCK_FSCK_FSCK, Why not just install it direct to the partition? Your question is flawed and you don't need to install it "in another distro". You just install it to the partition and it'll set up grub for you quick and easy. [09:53] FSCK_FSCK_FSCK: why not just install it in a normal way? Takes like 20 minutes? [09:53] FSCK_FSCK_FSCK: then follow the instruction I gave earlier and change the grub.conf to include both on the /boot your current grub install references [09:53] but you'll need to continue to manually manage grub.conf if you dont chainload it into another grub instance [09:53] BiosElement: because i don't want my mbr overwritten and I don't want to reboot just yet [09:53] Vecam: Basically i am having some trouble with my wireless adapter [09:53] FSCK_FSCK_FSCK: rebooting is absolutely inevitable. [09:53] Vecam: I got it working yesterday, but today it is not working [09:54] Johnm: to use my new ubuntu installation, yes. [09:54] Johnm: don't see a 'foward' mixer... i'll enable everything and see what happens [09:54] FSCK_FSCK_FSCK: try lubi, http://lubi.sourceforge.net , I haven't tried it myself, I've heard things about it [09:54] petester, what wireless adapter is it? [09:54] Flimm: is that like wubi but for linux? [09:54] Atheros AR242x [09:54] Petester,what do u mean not working ? not connecting ? [09:55] i have the exact same problem [09:55] Johnm: it was 'surrond' for me. thanks a lot! :) [09:55] yup, it can't find networks [09:55] i followed this guide yesterday: http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=5673157&postcount=9 [09:55] wallan: yeah it might be something else, but I found master wasn't controlling all output channels since one of the "child" channels was set lower anyway. [09:55] what's the force unmount command? [09:55] wallan: np :) [09:55] hey, I'm a bit confused here, what is the file to edit to add a module to load at boot time ? [09:55] but what i think applies to both of us is that madwifi.org is down the the files we need arern't available [09:55] Johnm: so cp -r /* from vmware ubuntu to real partition won't work? [09:55] LF|Irssi: unmount -f, but dont use it unless you really need to ;) [09:55] basically we're fucked [09:55] while booting, some messages are flashed -then normal boot splash shows up. Immediately, instead of the usual visual, my screen shows texts until I login. How to set this right? Where do I view the boot log? [09:55] Johnm: i tried that no luck [09:56] FSCK_FSCK_FSCK: you need to ensure you keep all permissions and exclude /dev /proc and /sys [09:56] FSCK_FSCK_FSCK: just tarring it is significantly less hassle :) [09:56] ksbalaji: type dmesg after loggin in. [09:56] FSCK_FSCK_FSCK: its also a valid backup [09:56] FSCK_FSCK_FSCK: yeah, isn't that what you want? [09:56] visik7: I tried something slightly different with another user (on the server side) didnt work either [09:56] somebody please tell me how I can paste a file to /usr/share/icons/Human/24x24/places using a command...? [09:56] Flimm: pretty much [09:56] LF|Irssi: what is it you're trying to do? [09:57] LF|Irssi: generally, it goes to a lot of hassle to make sure you dont "accidentally" corrupt your filesystem [09:57] Johnm: im trying to permantly mount my external hdd [09:57] LF|Irssi: does udev not automatically mount it for you everytime it see's it as being attached? [09:57] can anybody help..? [09:57] hey, I'm a bit confused here, what is the file to edit to add a module to load at boot time ? [09:58] kooothor_: /etc/modules [09:58] thx Johnm [09:58] Johnm: it gets auto-mounted but every time i reboot the computer it gets mounted in a different spot each time, which is bad because i have auto backups on a cron going to that external hdd [09:58] kooothor_:it's understandable that you're confused. ubuntu has .conf files all over the place. install arch, it's way easier to mantain. vim /etc/rc.conf is all you need [09:58] LF|Irssi: it would be best to write a little udev rule to symlink it somewhere memorable [09:58] so what is the modules.conf file ? [09:59] Johnm: how would i go about that? [09:59] Petester, you installed a new driver ? [09:59] and why my module present in /etc/modules doesn't load at boot ?? [09:59] Vecam: nope, I didn't do anything [09:59] What is the root password for Ubuntu Hardy heron live cd? === tdn is now known as mmo [10:00] Öðôå øû åðó âóàôãäå êùùå çôûûöùêâ [10:00] Oh... sorry [10:00] Dyresen, what is SELinux: Disabled at boot.? === mmo is now known as tdn [10:00] What is default root password? [10:00] ? [10:00] jms32 : no idea [10:00] Petester, does it appear in lspci ? [10:00] LF|Irssi: something like.. "vi cat /etc/udev/rules.d/65-my.rules" and inside that something like "ENV{ID_MODEL}=="MYDRIVE", SYMLINK+="external-drive-0" [10:00] petester: go to system > administration > hardware drives [10:00] the wireless card I mean [10:00] LF|Irssi: you find the model number from /sys, but lshw will also shoow it [10:00] make sure those 2 drivers aren't checked [10:00] ? [10:01] LF|Irssi: if needs to include any whitespaces also in the model name, listed by lshw [10:01] so what is the /etc/modules.conf file ? [10:01] root password for ubuntu live cd [10:01] none is activated except for graphic card [10:01] and why my module present in /etc/modules doesn't load at boot ?? [10:01] but these drivers never worked fo rme [10:01] kooothor_: thats for modprobe (legacy link) [10:01] ok thanks Johnm ill give it a try [10:01] kooothor_: defining module aliases and the like. [10:01] LF|Irssi: to test your rule, use udevcdm trigger.

[10:12] BUGabundo_work: where? which conf file should i edit to get that behavior? [10:13] zimnyx: the entire .ssh directory needs to be 600 [10:13] zined: it actually checks permissions on .ssh.

I just googled it [10:14] Johnm: it should be 600 like you said or 700 ? [10:15] BUGabundo_work: Thanks, man! [10:15] zimnyx: ofc, you need to ensure its the id_rsa.pub you've copied into .ssh/authorized_keys also [10:15] FSCK_FSCK_FSCK: that's a good tip. Thanks! [10:15] zimnyx: 600 [10:16] Johnm: i have the same problem as zimnyx, I checked the right, on authkey and on the folder [10:16] ubuntu should be less like ubuntu and more like arch. agree? === lakitu2 is now known as lakitu [10:16] anyone using xchat? somehow i managed to delete the menu and it didnt come back even after uninstall-reinstalling it [10:16] FSCK_FSCK_FSCK: please stop [10:16] zimnyx: what version do you run? 8.04?

[10:18] zimnyx: sorry, of course I misread what you said, 600 on authorized_keys file and 700 on the directory.

[10:48] dulak what is ur advice? do u think kernel will make a big trouble? [10:48] abid-linux, if you are upgrading now, then that would explain why you can't install anything.

Okay... [11:05] Guess I'll try to reinstall the network manager [11:05] Shadow_X_, are you on that box using irc now?

[11:10] payo: you can alter teh request-dns line in your dhclient config [11:11] bazhang: school router [11:11] Ubuntu_Gamma_bev, try starting up in safe mode [11:11] ok, thanks ikonia [11:11] Shadow_X_, they okay with you running a server?

[12:05] nevermind ;) [12:05] imperfec1-: you can restart compiz by typing compiz --replace in the terminal [12:05] sja_, no but I had same problem with my camera in OpenSUSE I just find a driver [12:05] !headless [12:05] Sorry, I don't know anything about headless [12:06] how do I connect to a wireless netwrk ? running wpa_suppliant -Ieth1 /etc/wpa_suppliant/wireless.conf gives me errors (properly because of a missing driver) [12:06] lnc12, for camera eye312 or other ? for other cameras - many drivars - for eye312 - nothing :( [12:06] wpa_suppliant was also given some other options, though [12:06] madsj, try with wicd [12:06] any reason why 'sudo mount -o umask=000,uid=1000,gid=46 /dev/sdb1 /media/foo' might always mount with permissions 'rwx------'? [12:07] who company makes it ? [12:07] Petester: type in sudo rmmod ath9k, it seems ath5k still started [12:07] Graphics: command not found :-( [12:07] madsj, http://wicd.net [12:07] dmesg: http://pastebin.com/d6e6a1208 the whole thing is too long to be displayed [12:07] one sec [12:08] J-_: well I only know how to do it with a /dev/something address. Sorry [12:08] does it work to set wireless atheros-card in ap-mode with the "stock" drivers in intrepid? [12:08] k [12:08] ziroday: thanks a lot anyway. :) [12:08] rmmod done, but doesnt seem to make a difference [12:09] anything other than umask i can look at? [12:09] Petester: try do sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart [12:09] okay [12:10] hey, got a partition's file system damaged by gparted resize (it's an ntfs) - is testdisk benign, i.e. failing won't worsen the problem?

Sorry [12:11] hello, where can i set that my windows partition gets mounted automatically? in some file? [12:11] hmmm,,,s igh [12:11] the thing is i dont want to reinstall ubuntu to get it to work.. and i realized i have screwed up bad [12:11] i spent the whole day yesterday messing with compiz to the state that i like =P [12:12] ubottu witch do u think a ubunto noob like me can handle? I'm just getting a iso backup or something of my ubuntu boot partition. [12:12] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [12:12] ziroday: Wow, okay. I've got it mounted again. Here's the ls -l /dev/sdb1, "brw-rw---- 1 root disk 8, 17 2008-11-03 07:00 /dev/sdb1" Does that look right? [12:12] is there somth like autoexec.bat in ubuntu??? [12:12] want some stuff done [12:12] s [12:12] J-_: where is that ls -l taken? [12:12] qowao: cron (@reboot) is the easierst way or you the init.d scripts (rc) [12:13] qowao, /etc/rc.local [12:13] can anyone point me in the right direction for support with 8.10 & nvidia driver selection? [12:13] err.. .i have anothe rquetsion [12:13] hey and is there a way to auto hide the start bar and the task bar?? [12:13] can i ask virtualbox questions here? or is there a specific channel? [12:13] qowao: you can try searching the Ubuntu forums for autostarting programs on boot [12:13] ziroday: Not sure what you mean? [12:13] ah cool kop_regr [12:13] is there a difference between intel version of ubuntu and amd? [12:13] jarussi: #vbox [12:13] tkz! [12:13] is there no simple autoexec??? or is it the rc [12:13] Petester: you mean ia64 and amd64? [12:13] J-_: nevermind, you can try sudo mount /dev/sdb /media/disk if you want [12:13] jarussi: yw [12:13] rc _is_ autoexec for debian/ubuntu :) [12:13] i am not quite sure [12:13] thx mm_work and kop_regr [12:13] sisi [12:14] anyone know, re testdisk? [12:14] hey and is there a way to auto hide the start bar and the task bar?? [12:14] but my friend, whose driver was not working in the normal version got it to work on the "amd" verison [12:14] takes too much space [12:14] is it benign if it fails? [12:14] ziroday: I did that already. That's how I mounted it. :) [12:14] * J-_ googles some more [12:14] Petester: normaly you are using x64 or x86_64 (amd64), you are not using ia64 [12:14] whats the definition of 'benign' [12:14] qowao: I'd love to answer that but I can't get into my own system, X won't start, thats why im here :p [12:14] J-_: oh right, great! :D [12:14] damn sorry mm_work [12:14] qowao, right-click -> properties -> check auto-hide [12:14] Petester: amd64 is also for intel 64bit like core2duo [12:14] qowao: safe, non-harming [12:14] i see... i have a dual core AMD processor, which one should i use? [12:15] haha ok [12:15] works thx [12:15] Petester: x86 or x86_64 [12:15] ziroday: Not particularly what I want though. I want it to auto-mount. hehehe. Though, I should try that right now. [12:15] Petester: depends on your ram-size [12:15] Anyone running a Headless Ubuntu 8.10 64bit desktop ? [12:15] can anyone point me in the right direction for support with 8.10 & nvidia driver selection? [12:15] 2G [12:15] is the difference in ubuntu x86 and x86_64 that big? [12:15] Petester: then use x86 [12:16] I've tried both, didn't notice any difference=) [12:16] heinrich: some software is hard to find for 64bit (e.g. drivers) [12:16] hey kop_regr it isnt really hidden! [12:16] so desktop-i386? [12:16] Petester: yes [12:16] there is some little part lurking around [12:16] alright, thanks [12:16] Ah, that's true. [12:16] and it takes to long to unhide kop_regr ! [12:16] can debpartial-mirror create DVD-size directories like debpartial can? I can't find debpartial in our local repo [12:16] Petester: i386 == x86 and amd64= x86_64 [12:17] DIFH-iceroot Ah, true. Just like in the windows xp/vista 64 [12:17] ad [12:17] ah, alright, thanks =) [12:17] heinrich: yes, and i am correct there are problems with flash in 64bit version, but i am not sure [12:17] heinrich: if i am correct... [12:17] DIFH-iceroot wouldn't surprise me=) [12:18] hmm, but i have a question, how come my friend got his ethernet card working on amd64 but not i386? [12:18] qowao, if you want to change that, it's gonna be more difficult: do you know gconf-editor ? [12:18] yes kop_regr found it yesterday [12:18] DIFH-iceroot *sigh* I wonder if I'll ever get this graphics card for this craptop to work=P [12:18] Petester: dont know what your friend did [12:18] im there kop_regr [12:18] oh... alright =( [12:19] so you can start gconf-editor: Alt-F2 -> gconf-editor [Enter] [12:19] did that kop_regr [12:19] when i try to "dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" it does not ask me anything about video driver selection? was the video card selection replaced by something else in intrepid?? [12:19] qowao, then expand apps -> panel -> global [12:20] ok , is this the registry kop_regr ? [12:20] I've tried to install my graphics card on my nx9420 with x1600 for about a week now. I've reinstalled ubuntu about 3 times now. Read about 30 different methods of doing it and they all go to ruin. [12:20] qowao, yep something like that. scary ? :-) === E-XtraCt is now known as XtraCt^eSr === XtraCt^eSr is now known as E-XtraCt [12:20] What's good for downloading/managing postcasts? [12:20] heh [12:20] I'm kinda tired of this ati card... [12:21] hey great i found what i needed kop_regr [12:21] Okay, so I go to umount my external drive, and it stays in the nautilus' side panel not mounted. [12:21] I don't get it [12:21] Is there a way to avoid Ubuntu going into "low-graphics mode" when booting without a screen attached? [12:21] Anyone with firsthand experience installing a ati x1600 on ubuntu hardy [12:21] Hello, i installed the latest version of Ubuntu on my new laptop : Gigabyte w566n , my wireless not working (lan working fine) , how can i check if Ubuntu recognized my wireless card ? [12:21] qowao, fiddling with panel_hide_delay, panel_minimized_size and panel_show_delay should do the trick [12:22] Hi, recently switched to gnome and I'm having trouble with some applications that require I press and hold alt/shift/etc keys, how do I disable the window-drag and other global hotkeys for these programs on gnome? [12:23] I know how to do it on KDE, not on gnome though [12:23] would i have to reboot kop_regr [12:23] Kate26_il: lspci probably helps [12:23] yeah i found it kop_regr [12:24] aaa [12:24] aaaa [12:24] Hi [12:24] qowao, no need to reboot. actually, it should apply as soon as you change the value [12:25] how would i run a terminal via ALT+F2?

While this was OK (yet annoying) because I just had to close it, after upgrading to intrepid the same happens with nautilus's dir bookmarks. [12:30] C65CE02: foremost ? [12:30] I am running Ibex on my spanking new MacBook 5.1, seem to have some problem with heat, need some help in changing the fan speed so that it cools down... any suggestions? [12:30] oh, and the dir doesn't open, only Totem does, contrary to the FTP issue [12:31] kop_regr: how does this work [12:31] tobbe__: the only issues i've ever had with overheating came from the fans heatsink clogged with lint [12:32] I would like to know why module-assistant cannot create the symlink for /usr/src/linux when trying to build the drivers for my webcam. [12:32] hello can anyone tell me how i could make the title of a tab in gnome-terminal just display the last command i executed? [12:32] sfears: are you using the mb 5.1? what cpu temp are you running with now, mine report 69(C) while in osx its only 49 [12:32] no i can't dubi but that's a great idea [12:32] SJA if you still on just search on you camera the driver linux on google you will find some drivers see you all [12:33] i'm not using a mac book.. but i have had it happen on two different PC's.. windows always worked fine, but if i was running linux they would overheat [12:33] Dabbu, i don't have access to it now to guide you :-( sorry. but i think it includes help. but it's a command line tool [12:33] sfears: thanks, i thought about it, whenever i had to look for the tab of a program ^_^ [12:33] it took me a long time to figure out that it was hardware [12:33] sensors report that my fan is running at 2000RPM, id like to increase that [12:33] sfears: i had to go and see every tab to check. where that program was running lol [12:34] in regard to https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/262550 [12:34] hi. i had a somewhat messy upgrade from 8.04. one annoying left is this "Thank you for your interest in Ubuntu - the - released in." line in About Ubuntu. how do i fix this? [12:34] surabaya [12:34] how do i use locate command in a pendrive, say /media/disk? locate /media*.exe didn't work. [12:35] Ahoj === _Lucretia__ is now known as _Lucretia_ [12:35] hi I'm trying to fix suspend/hibernate on one of our laptops, which has to run Intrepid for graphics to work. [12:35] Hi community, I have successfully created a read-write samba share using nautilus, however when other computers put files into that share those files are rw-r--r-- and owned by user "nobody" and group "nogroup" ... I would like for my Ubuntu user to own those files, either directly or via group. How do I do this? [12:35] nickbrooker: what sort of laptop? [12:36] nickbooker: sry [12:36] Asus X51L [12:37] What I need to know is where I should put my fixes nowadays -- up to hardy I'd have edited scripts in /etc/acpi, but I've read that the acpi-support is deprecated now. [12:37] Toznoshio, you could check the smb.conf file - and perhaps tweak the share definitions. [12:37] So where do I put my pre- and post- suspend scripts? [12:37] how to mount an ext4 file system? [12:37] thx simplexio yeah real console is good too [12:37] someone here who can help me with my partition? i want to make it bigger but theres a problem with a crypted partition between the free space and my root partition [12:38] is it safe to upgrade from gutsy to ibex? [12:38] sriramoman: find /media -name "*.exe" -print, locate dont index your thumbdrive [12:38] nickbooker: not quite sure - google may be a help, but what graphics driver are u running? [12:38] Toznoshio, create mask and directory mask should be set in the share definition for the share itself [12:38] christophsturm: You'll need to go through Hardy first [12:38] is there a replacement to gksu with less dependancies? [12:38] Intel [12:38] FSCK_FSCK_FSCK what deps are a problem ? [12:38] hi. i had a somewhat messy upgrade from 8.04. one annoying example is this "Thank you for your interest in Ubuntu - the - released in." line in 'About Ubuntu'. how do i fix this? [12:39] Pici: and do i need to reboot after upgrading to hardy? its a production server [12:39] dovel: google wasn't too helpful when I tried the other day. [12:39] ikonia: it's like 10 mb in deps (not running gnome) so it's just me being anal. i just like to avoid gnome as much as possible [12:39] umanx: can you take a screen shot please [12:39] C65CE02, dr_willis, I grep'ped smb.conf and couldn't find my share, I suspect it's because I created it with nautilus and not by editing the file [12:39] nickbooker: sry. what graphics driver are u running? [12:39] FSCK_FSCK_FSCK it it linked against gnome or X ? [12:39] hey there. I've installed 8.10 yesterday and try to connect to a Windows ActiveDirectory server - but seem to not be able to do so. Do I need any special packages? I've tried every package related to "samba" and "smb" - but none worked so far. Thanks for help. [12:39] christophsturm: Seeing as how it will be using a new kernel, it may be wise to reboot. [12:39] FSCK_FSCK_FSCK: ahh it's a gnome app- thats why [12:40] FSCK_FSCK_FSCK: look at what xubuntu uses [12:40] Toznoshio, i would check that file again.. I though ti saw the shares get added to the end of tha tconfig.. Im not sure of any othe rway for nautilus to do it. [12:40] hey how in the console would i see whats mountred right now again? [12:40] ikonia: xubuntu also uses gksu [12:40] FSCK_FSCK_FSCK does that drag down the gnome libs ? [12:40] franz-koch, what do you mean connect? join domain or just browse the LDAP tree ? [12:41] FSCK_FSCK_FSCK: I find it hard to accept that xubuntu drags down the gome desktop for it [12:41] I need an explanation for how to fix a problem with module-assistant. It attempts to create a symlink in /usr/src/linux but fails to do it. How can I fix this? [12:41] ikonia: only 20 mb in deps: orbit2-2.14.16-1 policykit-0.9-5 libsasl-2.1.22-7 libldap-2.3.43-3 gconf-2.24.0-1 [12:41] gnome-keyring-2.24.1-1 libgtop-2.24.0-1 libgksu-2.0.7-1 gksu-2.0.0-4 [12:41] !fsck [12:41] fsck is the FileSystem ChecKer, which runs automatically when you boot if you didn't shutdown cleanly. Type "man fsck" for information on running it manually. The command "sudo shutdown -F -r now" will force a reboot and a filesystem check; "sudo touch /fastboot" will skip a filesystem check at next reboot [12:41] echo 5000 > /sys/devices/platform/applesmc.768/fan1_min doesent increase my fan.. any ideas? [12:41] @kop_regr: well - both. I see the domain in the network inspector - but no shared folders etc. And joining the domain also failed [12:41] hey how in the console would i see whats mountred right now again?

[12:42] did anyone's rhythmbox stop listening to multimedia keys after upgrading to intrepid? [12:42] any ideas on my issue? ("Hey lads, I've got a really strange problem - before upgrading to intrepid, hardy used to fire up Totem after connecting to a FTP server. While this was OK (yet annoying) because I just had to close it, after upgrading to intrepid the same happens with nautilus's dir bookmarks.") [12:42] hey there is tis entry guys: /dev/sda1 on /media/disk type fuseblk (rw,nosuid,nodev,allow_other,blksize=4096) [12:42] franz-koch, for joining a domain, I think that likewise-open-gui is the best option. Samba is complicated [12:42] how could i make it permament? [12:42] what is the actual mount command? [12:42] i should use ntfs-3g i guess? [12:43] wanna put it in the rc.local [12:43] ikonia, the certificate needed to connect to our wpa2 connection [12:43] qowao: sudo nano /etc/fstab [12:43] Kartagis how is the certificate offered ? [12:43] !fstab | qowao this would be the proper way [12:43] qowao this would be the proper way: The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab and http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions [12:43] ikonia, i think in .cer format? [12:43] ah cool vatzec and pic [12:43] no question marks [12:43] Pici* [12:43] :) [12:44] dovel: Where do I find out what driver is being used? xorg.conf is as good as non-existent [12:44] how i can get the tcl lib to my PC? [12:44] Kartagis errrr are you sure thats fore your wireless connection [12:44] kop_regr: I've tried likewise gui - but only get errors [12:44] ikonia, let me see [12:44] Tcl: install the tcl-devel package [12:44] Tcl: tcl-dev actually ;) [12:44] ikonia: http://img217.imageshack.us/done.php?l=img217/4308/screenshotxs8.png === odder_ is now known as odder [12:45] dovel: Anyway the suspend/hibernate issue is with the wireless card.

[12:46] nickbooker: are there any bugs in launchpad associated with the problem? [12:46] umanx: isn't there a "release" file in /etc have a look at what that says [12:46] hey vatzec pici why is there a UUID=blah instead of /dev/stuff in the fstab!?? [12:46] gluonman: ln -s /usr/src/linux /des/tin/ation [12:46] @kop_regr: I'm not sure what to enter in the field "organizational unit" - or let's say I'm not sure why the joining exactly fails. [12:46] dovel: There wasn't last time I checked (Friday). I'll have another look... [12:47] anyone here that have installed ibex on a macbook 5.1 (aluminum) please msg me [12:47] dovel: Should I search specifically for the laptop, for the wireless driver or for the wireless card model? [12:47] qowao: Because /dev names can sometimes change depending on how the computer boots. uuids are unique per drive. [12:47] !uuid | qowao [12:47] qowao: To see a list of your devices/partitions and their corresponding UUID's, run this command in a !shell: « sudo blkid » (see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LibAtaForAtaDisks for the rationale behind the transition to UUID) [12:47] franz-koch, it very much depends on your active directory layout. but it may be left empty [12:47] FSCK_FSCK_FSCK, someone gave me a similar direction, but I failed to understand the destination. What I tried before didn't fix the problem. [12:47] tobbe__, i think you will enounter problems with the onboard nvidia chip?! [12:47] i just found out about apt-p2p [12:48] nickbooker: just enter suspend and the wireless card, then try the driver [12:48] perfect Pici will use those then [12:48] dovel: Thanks. [12:48] Hi! I'm using some ajax web-based irc, because I don't have an irc client installed atm on my windows machine. I have a question: How can you delete recent files/documents history in Open Office? I can't find the feature so I think I'll switch to AbiWord and Gnumerics. Any ideas? Could the Ubuntu team suggest that feature to Open Office. I tried, but no reply. [12:48] nickbooder: found something? [12:48] nickbooker: found something? [12:49] help :) I just upgraded to the Ibex and it apparently changed the keysims my keyboard sends into the computer - the Super key no longer shifts into the third and fourth layers (as it would using xmodmap) and the up arrow became print-screen! :D [12:49] oohelp, i would check the Openoffice channel and website/docs - i imagine theres a way to do it. [12:49] gluonman: what do you mean by failed to understand the destination [12:49] loeppel: install went fine, i followed the wiki page to get applesmc, keyboard backlight etc, working, now i am running into heat problems, i'd like to increase my fan speeds, lm-sensors sees it, but i cannot change the RPM, any ideas? [12:49] tobbe__ don't try to use rpm's on ubuntu [12:49] hey Pici as options in the fstab can i just copy the options that 'mount' showed me? (rw,nosuid,nodev,allow_other,blksize=4096) [12:49] rpm = rotations per minute [12:50] fan speed [12:50] :) [12:50] kop_regar: ok - then I'll try a bit longer and ask my admin to have a look at the AD-Servers logfiles if he can see some detailed error messages or something. Do you have an Idea why I can't see any shared folders on the server or on any other windows machine in the network? [12:50] qowao: yes. [12:50] tobbe__: sorry [12:50] perfect thx Pici ! [12:50] FSCK_FSCK_FSCK, I forget the destination I was given yesterday, but whatever the case is, the command didn't work.

[12:50] oohelp, from a quick google at http://www.oooforum.org/forum/viewtopic.phtml?t=65992 - there seems tobe some macros made that do just that.. or you can manually delete some cache type file.

Might be because I use a AD username as ubuntu user? [12:51] there are several [12:51] dovel: Something similar (#272169), but in my case the machine does come back, but wifi simply doesn't connect. Attempting to connect wireless then messes up the next shutdown or suspend attempt. [12:52] hi everybody [12:52] susscorfa, i'm doing in a regular exp job, so there are files which have spaces as well as those who don't. [12:52] ls -alnh shows about 5 versions of every thing danbhfive [12:52] franz-koch, should not be a problem. how do you connect to the server?

I've read comments [12:52] FSCK_FSCK_FSCK, I'm trying to use module-assistant to build drivers for my webcam. I don't really know anything about the process.

Good luck. and id say ask in the Openoffice channel. could be its going to be in OOO3 [12:53] gluonman: does it tell you where it's trying to create the symlink? have you tried running the program as root? [12:53] I have a samsung screen from an old desktop pc (last year) and it just doesnt work with ubuntu. I tried it on a mac and on a pc with windows and it works fine but with ubuntu it justrefuses to work! is that normal? [12:53] FSCK_FSCK_FSCK, I am running the program using sudo, and it's telling me that it's trying to create the symlink in /usr/src/linux [12:53] dovel: Does /usr/lib/pm-utils/sleep.d look like the right place? Mentioned in another mildly-related bug report. [12:54] franz-koch, did you try with Places -> Connect to server. from there you can choose "Windows share" [12:54] kop_regr: I haven't tried "connect to server" because I didn't know the exact name of the shared folder [12:54] AzizLight, using DVI or VGA conector? You using a KVM switch or anything else weird? [12:54] kk thanks. I just think I'm not the only one who doesn't like every other user in the comp using a shared account to see what documents have been opened... Like "surprise party.rtf" would be a bummer :D [12:54] FSCK_FSCK_FSCK, since it's not creating the symlink successfully, I'm assuming this to be the reason gspca and qc-usb are failing to build and install. [12:54] Hi, I installed Intrepid RC a few days back, and when the update came for the theme to be changed to the stable release' theme, it didn't change. [12:54] hello [12:54] dr_willis: I tried both dvi and vga and it doesnt work [12:54] danbhfive: http://pastebin.ca/1243952 [12:54] AzizLight, thats very weird.. ive always had 100% success with my various dvi monitors.

[12:57] AzizLight, im out of ideas then.. Unless you need to move the thing to the other video output on the cards.. but i imagine you tried that.. [12:57] AzizLight, if the thing has a tv out.. id be curious if that worked.. [12:57] dovel: Looks like it'll do what I want. Thanks for your search term suggestions -- they made all the difference. [12:57] gluonman: do man grep, do grep search for /usr/src/linux in /var/log [12:58] danbhfive: the update manager asks for 10 mb extra or zo [12:58] gluonman: is the output gui or console? the one telling you it cant symlink? [12:58] susscorfa: well, I would say the obvious solution is to get rid of some kernels. But its kinda crazy, that it needs more than 100mb to upgrade [12:58] !changethemes [12:58] To change gnome themes: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuEyeCandy.

[12:59] I just upgraded to Ibex and it seems to have assigned different keycodes to my keys. I have managed to fix some of this by changing my default xmodmap file. Any ideas how this could have occured or could be fixed? [12:59] kop_regr: tried several cominations now - but all failed :( [12:59] is it save to just move some *.bak files to an other partition ? [12:59] gluonman: ok so the program tells you the dir its creating it in, but not the destination file. its hard to debug this [12:59] dr_willis: I lost hope a long time ago. Im here to get a suggestion, I want to buy a new screen and I will use it with vga output. Can you suggest something with a good quality/price ratio that will work for sure with a gefore 7600 please? [12:59] i would like to know how to convert document into pdf format can some one tell me? [12:59] danbhfive: is it save to just move some *.bak files to an other partition ? [13:00] kop_regr: I had no problems on Suse when I tried that - but I'd rather prefer Ubuntu ;) [13:00] FSCK_FSCK_FSCK, hold on. Let me try to run it again and copy/paste the exact error. [13:00] How to resolve this error "E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)" [13:00] franz-koch, another option: when you are in Places->Network, type ctrl-L. a location bar will appear. you can type smb://servername is it better ? [13:00] AzizLight, i would suggest using DVI and not using vga at all. dvi give smuch better output. Ive had no issues with my Samsung 226BW [13:00] franz-koch ubuntu is a joke. a really unfunny one. [13:01] AzizLight, any new monitor - i would be sure to get DVI and HDMI input for it also.. to keep up with what will be on most new video cards [13:01] alright, my problem (pasting it for others' reference; "Hey lads, I've got a really strange problem - before upgrading to intrepid, hardy used to fire up Totem after connecting to a FTP server. While this was OK (yet annoying) because I just had to close it, after upgrading to intrepid the same happens with nautilus's dir bookmarks.") turned out to be really trivial - all I had to do was right-clicking a directory, selecting Properties and selecting which [13:01] see ya! :) [13:01] FSCK_FSCK_FSCK, http://paste.ubuntu.com/66733/ [13:01] susscorfa: I dunno. I mean, they are .bak. so backups? You could run a quick md5sum on them to double check if you like === _polto__ is now known as _polto_ [13:02] dr_willis: in my experience vga gets detected automatically and dvi doesnt, besides, I dont play games, I dont watch dvd on ubuntu and ... I dont play games so the quality is not THAT important to me [13:02] How can I change folders on a external drive of both user and group recursively so I can only let root remove, paste, move files and still have the regular user be able to view, copy to different spot, and open files. Would, sudo chown -R root:root /media/external do it? [13:02] hey everyone! [13:02] FSCK_FSCK_FSCK: erm - sorry - don't get it. Are you serious? [13:02] dr_willis: but I dont have a lot of experiece so I could be totally wrong [13:02] hey kop_regr i changed the panel settings in the gconf-editor and even rebooted but it does not work yet [13:02] FSCK_FSCK_FSCK, as you can see, this happens after trying to issue the Prepare command for module-assistant. [13:02] the settings are still there when i look into it but it does not take affect [13:02] danbhfive: the check sume comes out differently [13:03] what could this be [13:03] FSCK_FSCK_FSCK, it also happens when trying to build gspca from gspca-source. [13:03] susscorfa: same here [13:03] I need little help. I have a terminal opened and I need such thing, that would automatically repeat certain command in certain period of time. Is that possible? [13:03] kop_regr: I only get a blank page when I directly connect to the server - no shares :( [13:03] AzizLight, my experience is the exact opposite.. Ive had machines with vga get the res's totally wroong.. and dvi does.. DVI will give better text/font/crisper output.. thats not just for 'games' :) [13:03] gluonman: have you succesfully built another app from source? [13:03] franz-koch, the strange thing is that i does not ask you for a login/password [13:03] franz-koch: ubuntu is to windows what windows is to windows [13:03] FSCK_FSCK_FSCK, not in this way. [13:04] AzizLight, ive takken the same monitor and hooked it to the same pc only my video card has 1 dvi and 1 vga out.. the dvi text was much more readable. and most every linux disrto got the res right from the start. [13:04] FSCK_FSCK_FSCK, I just recently upgraded from Hardy to Intrepid. [13:04] How to make the terminal to repeat certain command in a certain time period? [13:04] qowao, which field did you change? [13:04] kante, the 'watch' command [13:04] dr_willis: I will try again to connect the screen tonight and ill come back but I have absolutely no hope [13:04] FSCK_FSCK_FSCK, actually that's inaccurate. I was using Hardy, but I did a fresh install from CD to Intrepid. [13:04] dr_willis: thank you! [13:05] kop_regr: disabled animation, changed delay times, and minimum size to 0 [13:05] AzizLight, if it has a tv out - i would be curious if that worked on the thing.. I cant imagine why both outputs would not work under at least the console for ubuntu [13:05] susscorfa: another obvious solution would be to just move some of the kernels that you aren't using to another partition, temporarily. I mean, you can only use one at a time. So, just make sure to leave the one you are running for the upgrade... [13:05] hello. [13:05] What's up? [13:05] gluonman: well i have no idea. if it cant create the link that most likely because youre missing files. check to see if you have proper devel packages. some of them arent pulled in automatically as dependancies [13:06] danbhfive: how to find out which one is running? [13:06] kop_regr: yea - that's strange. I also wondered. I think I'll boot up the live-CD and see if it's working there. Thanks for your help. Greetings from Germany - bye [13:06] gluonman: that's most likely [13:06] this is strange is it kop_regr [13:06] gluonman:* [13:06] How can I give write access to only root, while, read access to both? what is the chown, or chmod number?

[13:07] dr_willis: earlier this summer I tried with an old flat screen with only vga output and it worked like a charm... btw is there know compatibility issues with the Samsung SyncMaster 961BW because I think that's the one I have === E-XtraCt is now known as XtraCt^eSr [13:07] gluonman: thats more ubuntu specific (i dont actually use ubuntu, lol) === XtraCt^eSr is now known as E-XtraCt [13:07] FSCK_FSCK_FSCK, oh. What do you use? [13:07] susscorfa: why do you want all these kernels?

Well, I'll continue seeking a solution to my problem. Thank you for your attention. [13:08] I'm having a problem with pptpd .

[13:14] How can I run a shell script on a usb drive automatically on a machine booting from a live cd? [13:14] are the forums down? [13:14] jjdiamond, also irecall that the swap partition needed to be the size of your ram, for hibernate/suspend to work (or so ive heard) it may be its just trying to suspend and crashing. [13:15] juncong: in other words, when i make the test call, i hear nothing [13:15] FSCK_FSCK_FSCK: i tried forcing hz/resolutions in xorg.conf but regardless, it keeps bugging me with no detected devices [13:15] danbhfive: but when it works older ones can be removed how to instal kernals now ?

[13:16] mm_work, 8.10 no longer uses the xorg.conf as the end-all-say-all for devices [13:16] susscorfa: FYI, I think ubuntu is working on some sort of system that will keep track of when a kernel works, and thus be more intelligent about removing old ones [13:16] dr_willis: could be. i'm a noob. [13:16] susscorfa: you want to remove the older ones [13:16] ktemkin: could you lead me in the right direction for avoiding my ubuntu 8.10 stalling on that "no devices detected" windows when booting without a monitor?

[13:18] omg [13:18] gimme some attention, guys.. :S [13:18] susscorfa: try using cruft cleaner after you upgrade, and get everything back in place. You know!!!! the upgrade might be trying to install like 5 or 6 kernels, and thats why its runnings out of space! Since you have that many kernels installed [13:18] I've had a kernel panic, how can I find out chat coused it?

[16:40] I'll try again once ...I want to set up linux for the first time, and I've installed it on a 6-7years old comp with a 250gb hdd. First boot gave me this: GRUB loading... and "Error 18"...

That's why the tut said to use sudo -i [16:43] lakitu: but it is better to use the windows native tools [16:44] Ok, problem number two time [16:44] erUSUL: chkdsk returns "unrecoverable problems" [16:44] When I get to the boot screen on Ubuntu, the progress bar won't move unless I hold any key down, what's up with that?

See, Linux can't join your active directory unless you install samba. Because of this, it never registers itself with your domain's DNS server. So as a work-around, you have to explicitly create a record for it. [16:54] erusul did that but still nothing happens [16:54] in the persistant usb disk (intrepid), where do my saved files go? [16:55] IsUp: make sure it has a static address, and then define that address in your DNS server [16:55] any help about that my system time is differnet n my orkut page time different how can configure [16:55] sam__ envy..?

Could someone help me with this? [16:56] well, i already have.. =) [16:56] IsUp: if your server is using DHCP, then I would make a static reservaction for it by MAC and then additionally, add a DNS record pointing to the IP you reserved using the hostname of the box. [16:57] jrib: didn't work atleast not after restarting X [16:57] IsUp: then you should be able to ping it, as long as your domain suffix is being passed to your clients.

[17:49] I'm having trouble with my network connection: DNS lookup is not working. My network is functioning. I've upgraded from 8.04 to 8.10. Any idea? [17:49] I wanna to restore the default window manager in Gnome that's it (notice that my computer opened with the default but the other Drives open with Dolphin)?!!! [17:50] javajeff; sudo chmod -R 644 /home [17:50] does anyone know the explanation for the 127.0.1.1 as machine name entry in /etc/hosts? [17:50] i did a fresh install of Intrepid last night and that was there [17:50] Greetings, mortals. [17:50] mena_, are you on ubuntu or kubuntu? [17:50] Ubuntu [17:50] should I logout or reboot? [17:50] GoldenBullet, are you using a customized xorg.conf? [17:50] soho i would like to use the latest release === Guest74066 is now known as boomer [17:50] maybe a bit [17:51] but didnt change it when I upgraded [17:51] GoldenBullet, can you pastebin it? [17:51] is there a way to use compiz in fluxbuntu? [17:51] Mimi I tried to use some scripts but nothing Done [17:51] brb === boomer is now known as Guest89768 [17:51] mena_, the Psycocats scripts? [17:51] sure. You have good pastebin somewhere? [17:51] question about configuring 8.04 for dual-headed use - Can only clone screens, cannot spread content across two screens - thoughts? [17:51] thetank; extract it somewhere and run the 'qtorrent' binary. Installing QTorrent is not necessary [17:51] xx-omega24-xx, I don't think Compiz is compatible with Fluxbox [17:52] GoldenBullet, been using paste2.org [17:52] restorenautilus.sh here is the name as I downloaded it [17:52] Kassah, http://paste2.org/p/96306 [17:52] soho; i'll let you know how ti goes [17:52] thats my current xorg [17:52] thetank; it goes this way like the website says [17:53] since compiz uses its own window decorator, no, I wouldn't think compiz would work with openbox [17:53] or fluxbox rather [17:53] hey, i just used apt to get rid of whine - but icons still show in start menu bar? how can i delete em? [17:53] ubuntu 8.10 [17:53] -h [17:53] only negativ on 8.10 is, that a error messig comes on booting "kinit name_to_dev_t", but that was on 8.04 too [17:53] Mimi I Googled and fetched some pages in forums and all give me this one restorenautilus.sh [17:53] hey is it possible to see which packager packed a zip package ? [17:53] int3grate: isn't there a safe graphics option on boot? [17:53] there is a window tab plugin for compiz, though, if that's what you like about fluxbox [17:53] soho; im not sure i seen that, only svn and intrepid repo [17:53] tim2134; run alacart and disable them [17:53] qowao: No, usually you can just determine the format, not the program that packaged it. [17:54] MnemonicPunk: ok interesting [17:54] soho, thank you very much [17:54] thetank; download it from the website [17:54] MnemonicPunk: im in a hex editor right no, how would i determine the format? [17:54] Mimi I Googled and fetched some pages in forums and all give me this one restorenautilus.sh [17:54] I wanna to restore the default window manager in Gnome that's it (notice that my computer opened with the default but the other Drives open with Dolphin)?!!! [17:54] qowao: Look at the file extension? :D [17:54] GoldenBullet, first thing I would try is first backing up your xorg.conf then running sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg as suggested in the file... after you get booted up... it should autodetect your card and give you the option of enabling the proprietary drivers [17:54] MnemonicPunk: in case there is none? [17:54] qowao: MIME type. [17:54] tim2134; sry, alacarte [17:55] MnemonicPunk: mime type? =/ [17:55] GoldenBullet, be thankful you don't have dual screens =) [17:55] hehe [17:55] hello, i just upgraded to the latest vbox and also upgraded the ubuntu i run inside it.. now the guest auto resize display function is not working anymore.. anyone have an idea where to start looking? [17:55] ok I try and tell if didnt work :) [17:55] qowao: Usually you can see the MIME type of a file in Gnome by rightclicking the file and then selecting "properties" [17:55] GoldenBullet, I've got four... and setting it all up is crazy [17:55] SPeaking of dual screens.... :) [17:55] I wanna to restore the default window manager in Gnome that's it (notice that my computer opened with the default but the other Drives open with Dolphin)?!!! [17:55] MnemonicPunk: i just use the hex editor tho [17:55] I wanna to restore the default window manager in Gnome that's it (notice that my computer opened with the default but the other Drives open with Dolphin)?!!! [17:55] where would i see it there MnemonicPunk [17:56] #nick AbraXas [17:56] qowao: On the first tab, where it says type.

[17:56] ya? what was the result? [17:56] MnemonicPunk: no inside the hex editor! [17:56] Kassah: For some reason the screen stayed black like it didnt know the current resolution [17:57] qowao: There's a long description (e.g. "PDF-document" for a pdf) and then the MIME type in brackets (e.g. application/pdf for a pdf file) [17:57] !repeat | mena_ [17:57] mena_: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you.

[17:57] hmm [17:57] MnemonicPunk: i wanna determine it in the hex editor tho, not in the file properties [17:57] qowao: Then I'm afraid I can't help you. ^^ [17:57] I need help with my wireless connection please ... anyone can help ?

[18:20] raavi: It's OK; I have the non-HD version, so I'll be fine. [18:20] Have a good one. [18:20] Anyone know why I can't access my network devices after upgrading to 8.10?

[18:23] I'm trying to print to a pharos printer, I've added it as an LPD printer, but the jobs do not show up, I'm assuming this is due to the fact that my login name on linux is different than my username on the system Pharos is on [18:23] is there any way to remedy that? [18:24] Yoshi try this: sudo apt-get update , and sudo apt-get upgrade [18:24] Lokki, as a test make a new user with the same login name perhaps? or check the docs for the printer and see how it allows guest printing. [18:24] Quadrescence: yes. no reliable Flash support. [18:24] Quadrescence, if you have less than 4GB of ram... it doesn't have any major advantages [18:24] how do i force the installation of a 32bit .deb file, i've got adobe reader but it's only available as 32bit binary? [18:24] static ip via network manager seems to clear back to dhcp on reboot .. any idea why ? [18:24] Quadrescence: if you're willing to not ever reliably use YouTube, Google Video, or any other Flash site, go for x64_64 [18:24] Kassah: That's what I've always thought. [18:25] Quadrescence, saying that... it really hasn't stopped me tho [18:25] Kassah: I do have a 64-bit processor, and I have a single CD left. :o [18:25] hi [18:25] dr_willis: is there any way to print as that user without logging out here? [18:26] hi, wasn't there a package that allowed me to download various theme components? like, icons, window borders... [18:26] Quadrescence, 32bit all the way then... [18:26] anyone in #ubuntu-es? [18:26] Quadrescence, and buy more blanks! [18:26] edmont: a few ;P [18:26] Kassah: Haha, I will. I am actually reinstalling because the upgrade b0rked my system [18:26] is the 8.10 fixed the network card 'cripple' / 'damage' thingy? [18:26] Lokki, see your printer docs for allowing guest printing... it would be sort of silly if it only let 1 user print.. [18:26] Could someone help me figure out why i can't access my LAN devices from my Ubuntu machines? [18:26] Is it possible dual windows xp run on vmware? [18:26] Quadrescence, stick with 32bit... it's got the best chance of everything working [18:26] dual boot [18:27] nivektrio yes it has been fixed [18:27] Lokki, could be some other security settings on the printer configs also you may be over looking. [18:27] dr_willis: what do you mean [18:27] hi! [18:27] erUSUL: es q no me deja entrar [18:27] noodlesgc: thanks... [18:27] is there an qvant window manager channel? [18:27] Quadrescence, I know what you mean... I mirrored my machine to a spare hd before upgrading =) course I lose $$$ every hour I'm off [18:27] er, avant, I meant to type [18:27] Hi [18:27] Kassah: Probably so. But it would be nice to program with the ability to natively use things like 64 bit integers. ;_; [18:27] :> [18:27] noodlesgc: grr seems to be struck on fusion-icon [18:27] edmont: join #ubuntu-es-ops [18:27] tegshee: Either I'm misunderstanding you or you don't understand the difference between a VM and an install. =) [18:27] erUSUL: me dice que he su¡do expulsado [18:27] wasn't there a theme downloader for ubuntu? installed as a package, i don't remember the name... can someone tell me? [18:27] Lokki, for my print servers, i normally enable the 'guest' account on them. so anyone can print without needing a username or password [18:27] erUSUL: asias [18:27] I'd like to know how i can configure my system to auto connect to a WPA WiFi network (without having to open an X session) [18:27] juniech1, gnome-art [18:28] I want to install php5 multi-byte string how? [18:28] thanks dr_willis [18:28] Yoshi, you could just remove it and install it later [18:28] Quadrescence, nothing stops ya from reinstalling 64bit when you get more discs. But if you've only got one CD left... I'd personally take the safe route. [18:28] I've got a Problem with compiz (/emerald)... I'm using the new betadrivers (96) which are not availible as a package... there are noch windowdecorations (frames)... compiz always prints out: compiz.real (core) - Warn: No GLXFBConfig for depth 32 [18:28] Quadrescence, that's just me tho [18:28] q [18:28] hi all.

I installed the appropriate Nvidia drivers for my 8800 GT and compiz and everything was working. But every time I restart I have to reinstall the drivers. Although when I do reinstall them, it says they are already installed. When starting up, my computer flashes on "reading files needed to boot" a few times then goes into "low graphics mode". How can I fix this so that these drivers save? [18:28] dr_willis: how would one do that? As far as I know I'm not restricting the printers at all [18:29] Kassah: That's what I'll do. Maybe I'll upgrade when I have more ram anyway. [18:29] dr_willis, that's okay because i'm just looking for some green icons :) [18:29] how to install this php extension multi-byte string [18:29] ??

[18:40] MnemonicPunk, i have ndiswrapper installed with the linksys driver installed into ndiswrapper.. the light on the wireless card is on, but iwconfig doesn't show any wireless networks detected.. and knetwork manager doesn't list any wirless networks.. although iwconfig does detect a network from my internal wireless card.

[18:49] edmont: (There's also an "advanced" option that allows you to choose whether you want to install Grub or not. It's checked by default though, so you probably didn't change it.) [18:49] MnemonicPunk: still gone [18:49] valros: yes [18:50] edmont: Then reinstall manually. =) [18:50] know the package name? [18:50] MnemonicPunk: i tried chroot [18:50] hey guys, anyone know a popular usenet client i can download? === xbskid- is now known as xbskid [18:50] all ive done is searched for pygtk and it found nothing [18:50] spowney: Pan [18:50] It keeps failing at burning .iso images, and the lead to wasting lots of cd's.. >< [18:50] sfears: 8.10 has _NO_ support for the older cards.

[18:54] valros: but do you usually use an IDE? if so, Wingware is nice for Python - Alexander Roshal [18:54] gfsdjkghas [18:54] http://www.wingware.com [18:54] ive used IDE's before, havent looked into a python one [18:54] how did RAR's name end up in my paste buffer?

[19:00] Hi! I'm setting up my new Intrepid box to connect to a printer shared by another computer via IPP. Is there a way to have it automatically detected? I remember that some releases ago (with another printer setup dialog) it worked... But unfortunately intrepid doesn't autodetect it. Thanks! [19:00] MnemonicPunk: [19:00] /dev/sda does not have any corresponding BIOS drive. [19:00] leonard_pop: Download it. Then open Settings -> Apperance and drag&drop the theme file into it. Should say "Theme installed and ready for use" then. [19:00] this might be an odd question, here goes anyway. I have an x process running gedit at the moment, with an unsaved text buffer ... Is there a way i can save that buffer through the CLI? [19:00] lianimator: u still here? i tried all output but still having some lines on screen [19:00] leonard_pop, if you go into System>Preferences>Appearance, then click the themes tab, there is a button to install a new theme.

[19:02] http://paste.ubuntu.com/66876/ [19:02] DEadPuNk: I think it's the same problem with your video card, but the fix is gone. [19:02] mneptok, tried it,...but it doesn't provide pause option right! [19:03] edmont: Sorry, no clues then. Your system probably can't find it, no idea for what reason though. Try rebooting and watching the messages/reading the logs so you find out what causes it. [19:03] DEadPuNk: oh, you need to restart vlc for it to take effect [19:03] lianimator: what i need to do ? any solution ? [19:03] lianimator: yup i have restart [19:03] DEadPuNk: after each change? [19:03] MnemonicPunk: thanks, i'll try [19:03] yes lianimator [19:03] DEadPuNk: what output modules did u have? [19:03] sfears: Alright, I can't tell you anything definite but the NetworkManager seems to be causing lots of problems. You *might* want to get rid of it, though that may not change a thing. Just a guess here since it caused problems for my wifi as well. (You didn't see that line, I think. o.o) [19:04] i'll try [19:04] do those $10-$20 PCI-SATA cards generally/always/rarely work on Linux?

There is something fundimentally wrong with Ibex. [19:06] DEadPuNk: all of them the same? even ascii art? [19:06] kebomix, did u try to reboot your box? [19:06] I have made some researches online, and i have been said that creating ur own linux router (on a new machine), would make your connection go faster?....does anyone know about that? [19:06] lianimator: for ascii.. i have a black screen [19:06] I'm trying to connect to a cisco VPN, and have tried both VPNC and the cisco VPN client. Both of them stall out the connection when attempting to transfer anything substantial. [19:06] kebomix: what happens's when you hit -- ? [19:06] anyone using b43 module?

[19:07] t?=hink: what hardware are you using [19:08] kebomix, can u tell me your perfomance of your pc/desktop [19:08] led of keyboard turning on/off has something to do with old kernel [19:08] hi [19:08] i thought [19:08] kebomix: what do you see if you type dmesg| tail in a terminal window? [19:08] since i upgraded from hardy to intrepid, my mdraids are degraded after boot. [19:08] Gods_gift:wut u mean ? [19:08] i build them up by using the alternate installer. any ideas? [19:08] think_linux: what hardware do you have? [19:08] thomc: 8.10 doesn't use the xorg.conf anymore, unless you explicitly provide one. [19:08] renfrew: someone told me to open it in terminal before log , and nothing happened , still have same problem [19:08] komputes, about cpu,ram and graphics [19:08] someguy2008: i dont know exactly, but i remember using it [19:09] someguy2008: to cinfigure my connection [19:09] MnemoicPunk ok thanks.

[19:11] flv is a flash file. [19:11] think_linux : i did [19:11] Hay ay^ :D [19:12] romesh xkill [19:12] did you reboot computer after that? [19:12] kebomix: ok.. that's a good thing to try.. boot to terminal.. can you try typing 'dmesg | tail' in a terminal and tell me what it says, or better yet post it to a file [19:12] think_linux : i did.. [19:12] DEadPuNk: if you watch a youtube video, does it happen? try going to /tmp and opening the FLASHxxxx file with vlc. [19:12] really, what's the non-GUI network configuration tool on Ubuntu?

I dont have to restart my connection, but it acts like it just...freezes mid-stream. [19:15] The new Ubuntu release is pretty buggy.. on various different hardware there are sporadic failures to shutdown (ALSA shutdown is stuck..), then change-user functionality is also broken, beryl has regressed :( [19:15] chad1: that was me [19:15] This is only on Ibex, hardy works fine.

[19:29] RinTinTigger: I used it on my PocketPC, got help from the #openmoko guys for that. The device I used has roughly the same speed as the Freerunner and it booted for MINUTES.

I wouldn't recommend that if you don't know what you're doing though. You can't kill the phone that way but you won't have a good time. xD [19:32] KoFish: when i try my screen goes out of the bounds of my monitor hertz wise [19:32] I can not connect to mysql server [19:33] ??

I just want to know how to change the driver to use whatever the driver being used to show me the progress bar as that seems to work... [20:32] ShackJac1, looks like the IBM iSeries uses a Neomagic graphics chipset. That's some weird gear you've got there. There is an xorg plugin for neomagic cards. Make sure you have the xserver-xorg-video-neomagic pack installed. [20:32] I use intrepic btw [20:33] ShackJac1: try editing /etc/X11/xorg.conf and setting the video driver to "vesa" [20:33] Hi all. Am I the only one that feels that Intrepid on a laptop is not quite as stable as I would like? [20:33] ActionParsnip: There's no section for that anymore in the xorg [20:33] ShackJac1: Have you tried Ctrl-Alt F2 === graham is now known as gray-- [20:33] joebf: I don't know how stable you would like it to be...

All I get is 1024x768 [20:34] My Intrepid upgrade went great except that my extra multimedia keys no longer work. *shrugs* [20:34] arun_: you need the 945 resolution package [20:34] Does the xserver-xorg-video-intel package contain the xf86-video-intel driver?

[20:35] i dont like SANS [20:35] so anyone know a way to install 8.10 to an existing linux partition without a cd drive? [20:35] cannot get my dual monitors to work at all [20:35] should have said over rather than to [20:35] gnus stopped working, but that probably aint laptop related :) [20:35] !dualhead | cyr1 [20:35] cyr1: Information about dual-head on linux can be found on http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/DualHead - See also !Xinerama [20:35] MnemonicPunk: Will take a look - but does that apply under 7.4?

[20:36] it simply will not run on the Millineum II cards [20:36] cyr1: if you are using nvidia you can set it ith nvidia-settings i believe [20:36] wow, i just took a long look at my xorg.conf. it's untouched by the 8.10 upgrade.... that's weird. [20:36] is anyone here running on a dell inspiron 1720? specifcally, running 8.10 ? [20:36] ShackJac1: Woa. o.o It *should*. Just make a backup of your xorg.conf so you can undo the changes if it breaks anything. =) [20:36] Tundrayeti312: yep that was my next plan, but i was hoping someone in here knew a quick fix hehe [20:36] how do i install with apptitude [20:36] hey what is a nice font besides SANS [20:36] i dont like SANS [20:36] ActionParsnip : nah, I have two older Matrox MII cards which worked fine under hardy [20:36] ActionParsnip: is it still part of the repository. I cant seem to find it [20:37] DracNoc: most anoying thing here is that there seems to be some kind of change in the mapping, in the x-session itself the cursor keys work fine, but a freeNX client running on 8.10 makes only garbage out of the cursor keys [20:37] im getting this error when trying to run any apt-get commands "failed to fetch http://blahblah cannnot initiate the connection to 8888:80 [20:37] cyr1: then use hardy is all i can suggest [20:37] and this stupid dell box doesn't have an AGP slot [20:37] can somebody tell me why i can install ibex on desktop but not on this laptop yet hardy works [20:37] MnemonicPunk: I forgot - do I need to reboot after making xorg.conf changes?

There is no sound coming from my logitech usb headset. I have everything set to pulse audio at "System - Preference - Sound" I,m doing something wrong or is pulseaudio not doing the job? [20:37] ShackJac1: Nope. But if X is running already in some way, you will have to restart X manually by hitting Ctrl+Alt+Backspace [20:37] I am almost thinking it has something to do with the onboard intel video though [20:38] BTW - I just did a shutdown and it said it was stopping the Gnome Display manager even though I entered in reconvery mode...

Let me read. [21:19] splitz: that being said, i like to use weechat. xchat is also very nice. [21:19] blippe: right, but why upgrade xorg, when the nvidia drivers don't work with it?

[21:20] now, how do I make that warning dissapear forever? [21:20] homy1, change servers and try agian [21:20] dp_: because they won't release drivers until somebody uses the new xorg, it would have been a waiting game, and there are other drivers (free none the less) [21:20] Hi. does the current [tab] key search the entire path.. for command completion.. if it doesn't find an answer in the current directory ?

[21:21] homy1, trying another server will give you a clue on wheather the problem is on your end or not [21:21] dp_: either, wait until nvidia release the new drivers until you update, or try the free ones until nvidia relesaes new ones [21:22] is there no way to create a submenu in the applications menu? [21:22] hardwired, might be xserver-xorg , it's been a while [21:22] hardwired: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg (no dot) [21:22] anyone used Gnome-Do's Twitter plugin?

[21:23] blippe: I mean, I went to Configure and put in my user/pass and it still isn't "finding" my credentials [21:23] sloopy: like go parent folder, go back, the folder buttons etc [21:23] is there a way I can edit my compiz preferences?

[22:02] Some_Person, you can probably do that in X by specyfiying a behaviour for your mouse , not quite sure what it wouel have to be [22:03] WIGGMPk : for a workstation, i agree, /home is a good choice to make its own partition, and I'd probably give a good 60+% of the drive to it [22:03] Hi guys! Anyone could tell me if exists a linux program that receives a set of photos and makes a dvd with transitions? thank you [22:03] deepfreez: system > administration > hardware drivers [22:03] Only problem is that it seems like its impossible to disable horizontal scrolling [22:03] Pelo: right, thanks a lot I appreciate it! this is a brand new system.

If you're sick of doing it, you could run as root (not recommended), or many just run a root shell for doing admin stuff. [22:33] thanks! [22:34] lucax, installing requires sudo for root priv.. obviously.. there are ways around having to use sudo like "becoming" root temporilly.. google for that ..

[22:35] the application just hangs when entering a directory [22:35] Is deleting /dev/input/js0 enough to remove a joystick-device? Or does the wacom kernel drivers take any parameters?

[22:35] thismamacooks200, is the other computer on the network?

[23:01] littlelambda: do i need a swap partition [23:01] domino14; you can use almost any fs. ext3 is recommended, yes [23:01] botsnack | windows [23:01] does the i810 driver support 3d acceleration? [23:01] why [23:01] over9k: usually dhcp servers keep a cache and give the same ip to machines if posible [23:01] yosyp: yes === urkidi is now known as fer_factor [23:01] domino14: highly recommended. about 1.5x your system RAM is my recommendation [23:01] trontonic, are you sure? i cant play counter strike without lag === David is now known as Guest86738 [23:02] how to disable module: ath9k forever? [23:02] yosyp: if you are not sure, run "glxgears" and tell me the fps you get [23:02] trontonic, do i need to run at 16 bit, not 32? [23:02] yosyp: according to man page it does [23:02] erUSUL yes, but i tryed few diferent ap-s and dhclient always goes for same address [23:02] domino14: how much RAM do you have and is it a laptop? [23:02] trontonic: i have another problem with Real player 11 that i installed..it works if i run it from the terminal but wont work it i try to access it from Application...sound & video [23:02] hello , i need help , i installed ubuntu 8.04 again , and i have .deb packages of my old ubuntu , and i put them in /var/apt/cache , now how to install all of them ?! [23:02] hello [23:02] chousuke: it's a desktop with 2GB of ram [23:02] yosyp: it should be at least around 1000, probably 10000 if you've got a really good card [23:02] wip: sudo nano /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist, and ass blacklist ath9k to it [23:02] tronnn tonic can u please help me i cant get ccsm to work on 8.10 [23:02] wip : watch the /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist file [23:02] wip: add ** [23:02] domino14: then you don't need a lot of swap [23:03] domino14: though it depends on what you do [23:03] excellent!!!! thanks guys [23:03] its gives an erro message [23:03] FastPutty: google fix apt errors [23:03] domino14: half a GB should keep you safe [23:03] trontonic, not so: 638 frames in 5.0 seconds = 126.508 FP [23:03] ive waited an hour [23:03] trontonic: yosyp: I get almost 5000 with an nvidia 8600m GT [23:03] who knows Avant-Window-Navigator [23:03] ??

[23:03] !metaquestion | corek [23:03] corek: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) === nintendo|dinner is now known as nintendork87 [23:04] domino14: Linux will work just the same with either type :) [23:04] compiz config esttings maneger [23:04] yosyp: that sounds a bit slow. Glxgears is no benchmark, though [23:04] domino14: if you're only running Linux, nothing much. If you're also running another operating system, it may complain if you have more than four primary partitions, so you'd want to have a max of three primary partitions and then make the rest extended [23:04] !ccsm [23:04] To enable advanced customization of desktop effects in Ubuntu: install 'compizconfig-settings-manager' or 'simple-ccsm'. If you install the latter, a new option will appear in your appearance properties - See also !compiz - Help in #compiz-fusion [23:04] geeksquad: I don't use Compiz, sorry [23:04] trontonic, i dont seem to have i810 in my xorg.conf :S [23:05] I am trying to install network-manager-gnome but it keeps failing trying to remove wicd... any help? [23:05] how do i fix gnome-session easy? [23:05] yosyp: what model gpu exactly? run 'lspci | grep -i vga' [23:05] domino14: oh, and you probably want to make any partitions you're booting from primary, though again, i think this is only a problem if you're using other OSes [23:05] Can I force it to remove wicd somehow? [23:05] rww: thanks. i'm using xp too, and i left them as logical [23:05] yosyp: there should be a gui-tool for selecting a different driver (like i810), let's see... [23:05] crdlb, 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 82845G/GL[Brookdale-G]/GE Chipset Integrated Graphics Device (rev 03) [23:05] mplayer SexyTime.avi [23:05] oops wrong window [23:05] hello [23:05] trontonic, i dont have the standard gui; i'll just run X - config ? [23:06] zeno_: i am searching in google since htis morning [23:06] yosyp: that's an extremely old intel chip, you can't really expect much from that [23:06] Are there any tools to help migrate the settings/installation etc. from one Ubuntu system to a new Fresh install? (I mean other than just copying over the home directories.) [23:06] yosyp: is it a laptop? [23:06] zeno_:i dont not find anything tat couldh help me [23:06] later [23:06] anyone know how to delete a stubborn file from the trash bin? I get an error while deleting message. [23:06] crdlb, microsoft seems to support 3d acceleration under it [23:06] anyone?, i have problem with my dhclient, every time i request ip over dhclient on my wlan0 interface, dhclient is always requesting same ip address... how do i fix this ? i tryed on more diferent routers // ap-s but i always get same address [23:06] trontonic, no [23:06] yosyp: okay. (if it were, you could probably just find an xorg.conf on the web) [23:06] hey, my window decorations sometimes don't redraw properly. I'm using Intrepid with the proprietary nvidia drivers, and desktop effects enabled. Any help? :-) [23:07] yosyp: there's this commandline command you can use, let's see... [23:07] yosyp: yes, but not much is going to be accomplished by using it, also the driver is automatically chosen in 8.10 [23:07] How do I make Ubuntu unmount all sshfs-mounts before suspending? [23:07] yosyp: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [23:07] command for switching from 8.04 LTS to 8.10? [23:07] FastPutty: sudo dpkg --configure -a [23:07] !upgrade | DavidMcNally [23:07] DavidMcNally: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes [23:08] andresj: you are probably using Compiz, then? You could try disabling and enabling some of the extensions. That's the best tip I have. [23:08] FastPutty: sudo apt-get -f install [23:08] On a different distro, there was some sort of /etc/hibernate/common.conf file I could edit to change the things it does when suspending or hibernating, but there's no such file in Ubuntu. [23:08] How can I make a list of installed packages, that can be passed to apt-get install ? [23:08] ubottu: thanks [23:08] You're welcome! But keep in mind I'm just a bot ;-) [23:08] andresj: I believe this is a known problem with the nvidia drivers. They're not f/oss, so there's not much we can do. Try disabling compiz. [23:08] rww, i am completely sure that disabling compiz will fix the problem. :) but im sure there must be SOME workaround... :D [23:08] (apart from disabling desktop effects) [23:08] crdlb, are you saying the default install selects i810 by default? [23:08] !clone | solexious [23:08] solexious: 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 [23:09] yosyp: the driver is called 'intel' now, but yes; reading your /var/log/Xorg.0.log would verify that [23:09] erUSUL, thanks mate [23:09] solexious: no problem [23:09] arrg last appeal, anyone running gfxboot on a 64 bit system? [23:09] hi [23:09] andresj: In case your window decorator simply crashes, you can restart it with 'gtk-window-decorator --replace' [23:10] how can I install icon themes in 8.10? [23:10] i got a 'damaged file system' from resizing an ntfs partition using gparted. i used testdisk, & deep search found it, i am in the middle of restoring it (already wrote the partition table), but now (i think) it wants a boot sector. should i a) use the backup, ß) use the current, or γ) rebuild the boot sector? [23:10] crdlb, should i specify my depth in xorg.conf to 16 and try? [23:10] how can I make an icon that launches a script (the script just runs a java jar in the same folder). I need to be able to distribute this icon as well [23:10] hi i wanna know why my computer is using up 2.4 GB of ram while i only have skpe and opera running? [23:10] yosyp: if your /var/log/Xorg.0.log says that's why you're not getting DRI enabled [23:11] Any advice on automatically unmounting certain things when I hibernate or suspend? [23:11] does emerald work in 8.10? [23:11] yosyp: just put 'DefaultDepth 16' in Section "Screen" [23:11] yes emerald should work in 8.10 [23:11] are you have problems with it? [23:11] nicklas_: You mean, the decorator? [23:11] how can I install icon themes in 8.10? [23:11] MnemonicPunk: it doesnt crash, it just doesnt update correctly sometimes. not sure if it is when the window is too big or when firefox is moved or brought back and forth. [23:11] http://pastebin.com/m43f03715 [23:11] I need to get a new cell phone, I was thinking blackbery, but will that sync well with linux/evoution? [23:12] yup, the decorator, but i discovered now that it isnt in synaptic [23:12] is it because of the compiz that using 2GB of ram? [23:12] it depends on the phone that you get [23:12] can anyone please tell me how to do: gnome-session-remove metacity . in intrepid? [23:12] and what the cell phone providers will allow [23:12] nicklas_: it's in the universe repository [23:12] crdlb, is there a way to restart X without killing the wm/all the windows? [23:12] trontonic, i fixed it, that was the problem :-p [23:13] yosyp: no [23:13] what driver does ubuntu default to for install? X11 driver? [23:13] evan_ are you trying to permanently remove metacity? [23:13] is it at all normal that my syslog is 1.2 GB big? [23:13] When trying to use cp to copy all in my home folder to a usb disk i get "cp: failed to preserve ownership for" how can i stop this? [23:13] Chipsa964: which problem? Great if you fixed it :) [23:13] ploo: whichever one is appropriate for your video card, or vesa if X can't find one [23:13] andresj: Hm. Didn't have that problem yet. :D [23:13] <[TK]D-Fender> Hello all, back again. Got 8.10 cooperating with my onboard nvidia in WS mode, sound MOSTLY working which leads to my latest issue : No "line-in". I'm running an SB Audigy 1 that basica audio out works fine through ALSA, just need to get line in functioning. [23:13] solexious: format your USB disk so it uses a filesystem that supports permissions, like ext2 [23:14] trontonic, the one with the mic feedback [23:14] in fact, about 3 of my logfiles all seem to be bout 1.2 GB in size [23:14] MnemonicPunk: haha, allright, thanks anyways :D and u too, rww :) [23:14] is that...normal? [23:14] i just had to turn down the levels in the alsa mixer [23:14] solexious: well if the usb stick is using fat you can avoid it fat does not support unix permissions bits [23:14] anshar: open them up and see if there's an error or something repeating over and over again [23:14] Deadmode: yeah... death to compiz!!! and death to metacity!!!! [23:14] anshar: and no, it's not normal [23:15] solexious: if you are making a backup use tar to create a tar.gz with all your data and copy it to the usb stick [23:15] rww erUSUL, thank you [23:15] rww: well the / dir is full so they are not getting appended [23:15] solexious: no problem [23:15] rww: is it...safe to delete syslog, kern.log & messages? [23:15] I was wondering, is the "virus/trojan" that avg free finds in /lib/modules/2.6.27-7-generic/kernel/drivers/scsi/scsi_mod.ko + another file just a avg mistake? [23:15] erUSUL, it that better than just a normal cp? [23:15] is* [23:15] How do I permanantly change a device directory permissions? My sound doesn't work until I chmod 666 /dev/dsp after boot [23:16] anshar: yeah. you might not get logging until you restart, but apart from that, you should be okay [23:16] anshar: if they're huge already, though, you should be able to open them and figure out what's going on [23:16] solexious: if the target filesystem is not linux native is the only option (or cpio or othe backup solution) [23:16] rww: hmm, odd, the files all seem to contain 19919999199199991991999919919919999919919919999199199991991999919919 [23:16] karsten kgod (trontonic): rc.local issn't listed in my /etc/rcS.d directory or /etc/rc1.d? [23:16] robacarp: you need to put yourself in the dsp group to access the sound device [23:16] rww: at the end anyway [23:16] erUSUL, thanks [23:16] kelvin911, thats a wierd top output you have there. what does ps -aux give you? [23:16] anshar: that is odd o.O [23:16] solexious: becouse if you do not use tar (that preserves ownership and permissions internally) you loose that info... [23:16] trontonic:(karsten kgod) /etc/rc.local is executable by all. i've added the #!/bin/sh to line 1. [23:16] rww: and...annoying [23:17] hi guys. [23:17] psusi: do all users need to be in that group? [23:17] solexious: and when you restore problems may arise due to permissions [23:17] I understand there is a problem to use 1 graphic card for multiseat solution. [23:17] rww: all three logs show the exact same message [23:17] robacarp: only the ones you want to be able to play sound [23:17] trontonic: karsten kgod - seems to be working with the addition of #!/bin/sh to line 1 [23:17] rww: kernel: [23:17] Is there any PCIe graphic card that has 1 PCIe connector, and 2 PCIIDs ? [23:17] i need some help recovering from a failed 8.10 upgrade [23:18] psusi: ...why is this not done by default? [23:18] I mean not only "dual head", but also "dual PCI-ID" [23:18] v1nce: great [23:18] robacarp: err, it might not be dsp actually... it's whatever group owns /dev/dsp by default [23:18] Deadmode: can i rm -rf metacity without breaking gnome? [23:18] Chipsa964: ah, good going :) [23:18] hey how do you change the video driver in 8.10 [23:18] <[TK]D-Fender> Any thoughts on my Audigy Line-In issue? I've added all the controls to the mixer and mid-leveled them. Works fine in WinXP which I dual-boot of course. [23:18] is there a known bug or (hopefully not) piece of malware that would fill up syslog, kern.log & messages with "kernel: " ? [23:18] "audiotestsrc wave=sine freq=512 ! audioconvert ! audioresample ! gconfaudiosink: Failed to connect: Connection refused" after using skype. Any suggestions? restarting alsa and pulseaudio doesn't work [23:18] d0nets from the commandline or the GUI? [23:18] trontonic: karsten kgod - is there a reason this would not be available in rcS.d or rc1.d? [23:18] robacarp: I think it is when you make the user with the gui [23:18] interesting..there have been no updates since release? [23:19] psusi: my system says audio [23:19] anyone? :s [23:19] robacarp: that's the one [23:19] gui trontonic [23:19] can anyone tell me how to access the recovery option on the 8.04 disk that comes with the ubuntu book - (its not under F4 like the help says) [23:19] v1nce: by default, messing with rcS.d or rc*.* should not be needed at all in order to get /etc/rc.local running [23:19] erUSUL, how can i make a tar of my home folder? [23:20] psusi: I assume that I'll then not have to reset the permissions on the dsp device at restart? [23:20] d0nets: have you tried System->Administration->Hardware drivers? [23:20] LittleLambda: wait [23:20] I see that .mkv video files get a little preview in nautilus but .avi and other don't, why is this? [23:20] how to get ALSACTL RESTORE to work at reboot? [23:20] d0nets: that is, if you are going to use a proprietary driver [23:20] IE, want to save my alsamixer settings. [23:20] anybody happened around a bug in compiz with firefox that causes the top window title to appear blank? [23:20] anyone know what could cause http://pastebin.com/m28c0426f ? [23:20] aes53: there are plenty of information on the web about that, can't remember [23:20] aes53: *is [23:20] trontonic i told him to look there [23:20] he said its not there [23:20] solexious: right click the folder on nautilus and choose create archiver... [23:20] LittleLambda: http://pastebin.com/m43f03715 [23:21] trontonic: not that I can find [23:21] I've found plenty and tried it, but to no avail. [23:21] robacarp: yes... by default it is configured for members of the sound group to have access [23:21] I am trying to alter the behavior of my touchpad. I downloaded touchpad from add/remove... and when I run it I get an error, "GSynaptics couldn't initialize, you have to set 'SHMConfig' 'true' in xorg.conf or XF86Config. I have set SHMConfig to "true", "on", and "1" in /etc/X11/xorg.conf. But I still get the error. Any thoughts? [23:21] adding alsactl restore to rc.local no good [23:21] d0nets: you can also do "alt+f2", "gnome-terminal", "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" [23:21] psusi: okay. thanks for the info, Im working on setting that now [23:21] Hi guys, I have just installed ubuntu 8.10 [23:21] solexious: command line is « tar cvzf home_backup.tar.gz /home/$USER » (that creates the home_backup.tar.gz on the current dir) [23:21] erUSUL, i get permission denied... is there a command line way? [23:22] wow this is lame, FF3 on ubuntu can't load hotmail wiswyg [23:22] erUSUL, lol, read my mind :) [23:22] Where do I found out what packages Ubuntu 8.10 has? [23:22] anyways, anyone use ATTM ? [23:22] and it is so slow (both internet and performance) [23:22] mdmkolbe: http://packages.ubuntu.com/ [23:22] question all [23:22] thx rrw [23:22] robacarp: I got burned by that one myself once because I had to bootstrap my system by hand and created my user from the command line which didn't put him in the sound group [23:22] Since updating to Intrepid Ibex, my wifi light is nonstop blinking [23:22] toast, Hotmail is pretty bad anyways :P [23:22] mdmkolbe: you're welcome :) [23:22] is there a fix for this? [23:22] Hey all, I had a hard-lock during a distribution upgrade, I'm stuck in dependency hell, any suggestions? [23:23] any suggestions other than the form? [23:23] the forum?? [23:23] Im working on Ubuntu instead of Gentoo any ideas why this compilling error appear? I have stdlib installed. "strlen not declared in this scope" [23:23] hi, anyone know any software that plays radio? i tried streamtuner but it need xmms and xmms is imposiable to install on kubuntu , so anyone? [23:23] psusi: yea, this is on a server, so there is no gui at all, and the main user was deleted when samba was installed ;-) [23:23] aes53: have you tried running "alsactl save" and then put "alsactl restore" in /etc/rc.local? [23:24] djhash, i've had this card working before using ndiswrapper in 8.04.. ndiswrapper says Lsbmcds.inf is being used.. and "windows wireless drivers" also shows that driver with hardware detected and being used.. however, knetwork manager still doesn't show any wireless networks [23:24] Trapecista: do you have the build-essential package installed? [23:24] woops [23:24] alsactl store trontonic [23:24] rww: yes ! :( [23:24] yes I have [23:24] aes53: that is, first making it work, then running "alsactl store" [23:24] anyone else experiencing a never ending blinking wifi light on their laptops? [23:24] i've had this linksys card (wpc300n) working before using ndiswrapper in 8.04.. ndiswrapper says Lsbmcds.inf is being used.. and "windows wireless drivers" also shows that driver with hardware detected and being used.. however, knetwork manager still doesn't show any wireless networks [23:24] anyone here uses screenlets? [23:24] does any one has a suggestion why Ubuntu 8.10 is such slow [23:24] aes53: sounds like a job for #alsa, they are good with alsa-problems :) [23:24] is audio preview in nautilus broken? [23:25] Belboz99: you could try sudo apt-get install -f [23:25] cuznt: what's that? [23:25] aes53: you could also try following this guide and see if it helps, but it's a shot in the dark from my part: http://www.pulseaudio.org/wiki/PerfectSetup [23:25] after i ran apt-file search install-css.sh i get an error indicating i need to run apt-file update. I run the command and still get the error. what else do i have to do? [23:26] Hazem [23:26] psusi: any idea what the default permissions are on that directory? [23:26] Ash-Fox : amarok? and how should i make amarok do the job?? [23:26] those of you who have used lynx--is it quicker/easier to use than a regular browser? [23:26] Which program is the best mouse macro recorder for X ? [23:26] psusi: 660? [23:27] robacarp: it isn't a directory, it's a devnode.... yea... probably 660... just reboot and see ;) [23:27] Lucifer: lynx is a lot quicker than a regular browser, but that is mainly because it doesn't load images, flash etc [23:27] Im working on Kubuntu instead of Gentoo any ideas why this compilling error appear? I have stdlib installed. "strlen not declared in this scope" [23:27] Lucifer: it's text only, you know [23:27] How do I find files that (1) are not owned by any apt package or (2) differ from their apt package default? [23:27] any one able to recommend a usb wireless card that will work well with 8.10? [23:28] kelvin911: sorry, no idea. A quick estimate addup seems to suggest only about 850mb is being used [23:28] ok [23:28] i need some help getting my wifi card to work any one? [23:28] littlepinkdot: ok thx [23:28] Trapecista: strlen is a function that problably hasn't been imported/included. It all depends on context, though. And, it sounds more like a programming-question than an Ubuntu question :) [23:28] psusi: thanks again. [23:28] kubuntu 8.10 [23:28] kelvin911: maybe an error in the top reading? [23:28] Anyone with LIRC experience? Where am I supposed to have my files?

[23:31] wg511v2 [23:31] and i cant get apt-get source linux-image-2.6.20-16-386 to run [23:31] i've tried everything [23:31] !se | KJ83TheSecond [23:31] KJ83TheSecond: Svensk Ubuntu- och Kubuntusupport hittar du pa #ubuntu-se resp. #kubuntu-se [23:31] even looking up the latest version [23:32] Can anyone help me? [23:32] Can anyone help me to get this to run " apt-get source linux-image-2.6.20-16-386 " [23:32] kditty: it's a bit random which usb-adapters work, but most pcmcia cards should work, I think. Wireless for laptops is often a bit messy though. I had the same problem as you and just bought a wireless pcmcia card that turned out to be a PITA. The good news is that most cards get supported within a few months... I think there is an overview somewhere on the web, though. Hang on [23:32] thx alot [23:32] joe_knight: It seems you need ndiswrapper. Let me see if I can find you a decent doc. [23:33] kditty: how about tihs guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/WirelessCardsSupported [23:33] trontonic: CAn you help me outt with this pleaseee. [23:33] thank you [23:33] vilebrainvomit: the source for the kernel is called kernel-headers [23:33] trontonic: apt-get source linux-image-2.6.20-16-386 [23:33] <_steve_> anyone interested in a webcam question? [23:33] vilebrainvomit: I've never really used "apt-get source", sorry. What do you want to do? [23:33] trontonic: the same code compiles easily in gentoo [23:33] :S [23:33] http://airdump.net/hostap-ubuntu-7-packet-injection/ [23:34] Joe_Knight: See if that one gets you up and running; https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/Ndiswrapper [23:34] It's not uptodate with 8.10 [23:34] ok thanks [23:34] I'm trying to download the linux imagee [23:34] so i can instal this packet injection patch [23:35] Trapecista: Gentoo and Gentoo are totally different depending on which packages are installed. So is Ubuntu. I bet there is some package you have forgot to install. [23:35] on boot I get '51.72097 kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init! [23:35] btw. any1 experienced evolutions crashing when using calendar feature on amd64? [23:35] any one has a solution for slow internet in Interpid Ibex??????????? [23:36] vilebrainvomit: If you find a guide for compiling and installing the linux kernel on the web, I think that should help you out. There are plenty of guides for doing that. Keywords are: ubuntu, kernel, compile, patch [23:36] ty [23:36] trontonic: Im resolving some errors writing explicit includes on the source files. But that has no sense [23:36] has anyone had any luck getting hdmi-out to work on intel graphics? [23:36] <_steve_> I'm getting upset with my new webcam because I can't find out why audio and webcam for the other person won't work [23:36] eXlin: I've never had really good experiences with Evolution, so I'm not surprised. Check launchpad.net if you are interested in seeing which problems evolution currently has. === seeker is now known as Musaafir [23:36] psusi: that didn't seem to work. I added myself to the audio group and still can't play anything except as sudo [23:37] _steve_: Got anything more specific? [23:38] Trapecista: Which package are you installing? [23:38] quess, i need to check that out. evolution has some quite good features [23:38] trontonic: g++ #includes are in *.cpp files instead in *.h [23:38] <_steve_> I bought a webcam, a simple Hercules. I have Ubuntu 8.10. I can see the other person on their webcam (when I don't have a firewall) but they can't see me and we can't get audio [23:38] xorg spits this out: module "ramdac" already built in, anyone know what that is? its not in my xorg.conf, how can i stop it from loading since its already built in? [23:38] trontonic: in gentoo that is no problem, but breaks in ubuntu [23:38] Trapecista: look, I use ArchLinux myself, stop the Gentoo-bragging already [23:38] Robo Rescue, its an exotic package of software === thseiler is now known as thseiler|brb [23:38] <_steve_> and Skype doesn't even work [23:39] _steve_: What are they running? Any error? Just the one person or everyone you try? [23:39] <_steve_> (the webcam) [23:39] <_steve_> I haven't tried people with any form of Linux. The brother in law uses a form of Windows [23:39] <_steve_> he's the 1st priority [23:40] _steve_ [23:40] <_steve_> We use our hotmail accounts and we've tried skype [23:40] I am running Windows XP under Virtualbox. Every couple of moments or so, things like sound, scrolling, and graphics in the XP OS will freeze for a part of a second and then continue again. [23:40] <_steve_> yes, LittleLambda [23:40] Is there any way to fix this? [23:40] _steve_: I would ask someone else to try, so you know if its your or your brother in laws config thats the problem. [23:40] even after i update the cache directory for "sudo apt-file update" and run the command "sudo apt-get search install-css.sh" i'm told its still empty. what goes? [23:40] <_steve_> I'm a newbie at this [23:41] Anyone know how to get a 750GB Western Digital MyBook to actually mount? [23:41] <_steve_> I can see him - but his efforts to see me are a failure [23:41] Excuse me, How do I make my lircd.conf look at my remote configureation? [23:41] hi, does anyone know how to get an emu 1212m working? [23:41] how can i configure elinks to work with a proxy? [23:41] Porter1_ yo have NTFS or FAt [23:41] <_steve_> and, LittleLambda, he chats video and audio with other people. I just got ADSL [23:41] Trapecista: well, which requirements does the software list? [23:41] Hey guys I see this theme all over the internet but I can't figure it out, does anyone know what this icon theme is called: http://fc80.deviantart.com/fs29/i/2008/072/7/5/mookid_Gtk_by_aMADme.png [23:41] _steve_: Just letting you know I have a Logitech webcam, and for whatever reason they broke many webcams in this distribution. It involves removing some support off of the kernel... I don't know the details off the top of my head, but let me find the link for you. [23:41] - i don't want to build it with a proxy because when I'm at home I don't need it [23:42] ocioso, NTFS [23:42] Trapecistsa: in the documentation [23:42] Tyrath: try setting the FTP_PROXY, HTTP_PROXY, HTTPS_PROXY environment variables [23:42] <_steve_> I'm sorry to bother you, LittleLambda [23:42] I have tried mounting it manually [23:42] _steve_: attleast on me all sound devices are wrong as default in skype [23:42] try to check them first [23:42] Excuse me, i got a working lircd.conf but I want it to work with a certain application. I got the .lircrc file all configured, but I dunno where to store it and how to make them two work [23:42] _steve_: out of curiosity does he see ANYTHING, like green static? Or just nothing at all? [23:42] <_steve_> but I can listen to music on the computer [23:43] rww: in shell or in the program? [23:43] I have a problem with my RAID 5 as one of the drives failed and I used the remaining drives to add and remove files (not sure if I should have done this?) and now I can't mount my raid 5 even though I can start the raid in degraded mode? Any suggestion would be appreciated? [23:43] is it a bad idea to run the "depmod 'a command" [23:43] _steve_: skype is stupid when it comes to sound, more so than other applications [23:43] Tyrath: in the shell [23:43] sfears, no its safe [23:43] how do iget compiz fusion to work on 8.10 ive been waiting 2 houres or more [23:43] _steve_ yea but skype need to have correct sound devices what to use [23:43] sfears, it runs everytime your computer starts [23:43] _steve_: Not a problem. Im guessing the problem could still be at either end. Most likly yours, but still, worth knowing. [23:43] porter1 you don't have NTFs Support... your Distro is ?¡ [23:43] it proves that sounds works overall in ubuntu [23:44] ocioso, I do, since i have ntfs-3g [23:44] trontonic: dont be mad about talking about gentoo, i dont think one is better over the other [23:44] <_steve_> he told me that I refused his offer for a webcam. He, at another time (I've been with Gaim, Amsn, Gossip, Emensee, etc) told me that it almost connects before it cuts off [23:44] please help me [23:44] trontonic: compilation breaks because unfilled dependencies with stdlib for example [23:44] <_steve_> I wish I could, geeksquad [23:44] Any reason I can't see/mount encrypted DVDs even after installing the necessary prerequisite packages? [23:44] hello everybody. i freshly installed ubuntu 8.10 on a clean disk (because i didnt want to risk an update :) ). besides the known problems with nvidia geforce4, i dont have any sound. amarok states that xine couldnt init any sound drivers. soundcard is some intel chipset on motherboard of toshiba notebook. any help and tips appreciated. thank you! [23:44] why [23:44] ok slackgen [23:44] Trapecista: I'm not mad. But my whole point is that if it compiles on Gentoo and not on Ubuntu, it probably isn't because of what's in /etc/lsb-release, but more likely because of a missing package :) [23:45] can anyone help me figure out why i can't complie anything, i think something is pointing to the wrong kernel sources [23:45] <_steve_> I'm a newbie, geeksquad. I don't have any answers === lakitu2 is now known as lakitu [23:45] geeksquad: tried installing "envyng" and running that? [23:45] rww: and how about specific security values, ports and so forth [23:45] i have benn waiting 2 hours [23:46] alguien me puede echar una mano [23:46] _steve_ can you describe what works on your skype? is regular calls working, is problems just with video calls? [23:46] Polaco que necesitas [23:46] hi, does anyone know how to get an emu 1212m working? [23:46] quiero montar un disco duro en ubuntu [23:46] what is that [23:46] if my internet dies, from my isp side, The only way i can restart it is if I reboot, ./networking restart does not work ifconfig eth0 up does not work [23:46] pero tengo un par de dudas [23:46] a soundcard [23:46] <_steve_> haven't tried "regular calls" [23:46] geeksquad: you've been waiting 2 hours, I'll write it down in my textfile where I keep track of how long everyone's been waiting, then send an e-mail to Mark Shuttleworth so that he knows too ;) [23:46] Hmmmm question my friends, how does a system determine it's hostname, beyond just /etc/hostsname [23:47] yo yo yo [23:47] SJr|work: just type hostname [23:47] Anyone know why my MyBook WD usb drive doesn't mount? It is NTFS, and I can see the drive and partition in fdisk, but it refuses to mount. [23:47] :-!funny [23:47] trontonic: I think its a question to the g++ folks, editing the sources and moving the includes from the cpp files to the header files solves the problem [23:47] Hmmmmm yeah I did Fondor1 and it's incorrect [23:47] trontonic: but there are hundreds of includes ! [23:47] _steve_: it might be just that your video device isnt supported or not workign for another reason [23:47] trontonic: I should've gotten synaptic since i installed ubuntu today at 12pm [23:47] save myself a few hours i would've [23:47] ping domain.com it comes back as the local ip address even though it shouldn't [23:47] It was in /etc/hostname [23:47] nowimproved, : try sudo /etc/init.d/networking force-reload [23:48] <_steve_> and I installed the appropriate drivers for my GForce 5900 Ultra (AGP) but can't use extras in the desktop config [23:48] _steve_: think you should try skype test call at first [23:48] hello everybody. i freshly installed ubuntu 8.10 on a clean disk (because i didnt want to risk an update :) ). besides the known problems with nvidia geforce4, i dont have any sound. amarok states that xine couldnt init any sound drivers. soundcard is some intel chipset on motherboard of toshiba notebook. any help and tips appreciated. thank you! [23:48] Trapecista: perhaps it's one of the changes in the new g++? I agree that it sounds silly. C++ programs are often hard to make compile though :/ [23:48] I am such a tard [23:48] <_steve_> that came back with a sound [23:48] I have the package libdvdread3 installed, but install-css.sh can not be found. everything i'm reading on google indicates I should have it. any suggestion why i don't? [23:48] <_steve_> a voice [23:48] SJr|Work: lol, what happened? ;) [23:48] does anyone know how to configure multiple setttings for HTTP_PROXY, for example, authentication etc. [23:48] _steve-you want compiz right [23:48] /etc/hosts [23:48] nope georgy_28 that does not work either , tried it [23:48] or how I can get a list of things? [23:48] <_steve_> compiz? [23:49] _steve_ so basically its just problem with video. compiz is 3d desktop effects [23:49] vilebrainvomit: doesn't Synaptic come with Ubuntu? [23:49] geeksquad: did you try envyng? [23:49] oh he had confuused me [23:49] vilebrainvomit: you can install it with apt-get if you dont have it [23:49] what is envyng [23:49] <_steve_> you know, when you want to change desktop background? You can have limited, better, or extra video stuff [23:49] !envyng | geeksquad [23:49] geeksquad: 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 [23:50] !HTTP_PROXY [23:50] Sorry, I don't know anything about http_proxy [23:50] !proxy [23:50] Many Ubuntu IRC channels prohibit access from !proxies such as !TOR and web (Java, etc) gateways due to a high level of abuse. You can however obtain a hostmask cloak: see http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#cloaks. If you're using mibbit, please try joining #ubuntu again. Mibbit takes a long time to connect, so you may have missed a message to do this. [23:50] whats it do [23:50] _steve_ tbh i am not sure if skype's linux version fully supports video calls [23:50] geeksquad: it's an application that will probably make compiz work for you [23:50] geeksquad: if you wonder what it is, google [23:50] can anyone help me figure out why i can't complie anything, i think something is pointing to the wrong kernel sources [23:50] geeksquad: its a great but unsupported way to install ati and nvidia drivers [23:50] does it work on 8.10 [23:50] ActionParsnip: would you be able to help me configure a proxy? [23:50] eXlin: it does. I've been using it since fiesty. [23:51] ActionParsnip: I have to set a port and such for example [23:51] sfears: are you trying to compile the kernel? [23:51] <_steve_> I right clicked on the screen to change the background and found visual effects ... but that doesn't do other than the lowest level [23:51] Tyrath: https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-users/2007-June/117700.html [23:51] ActionParsnip: if I just put set HTTP_PROXY I don't think it would cut it [23:51] thanks [23:51] ok [23:51] I am in the middle of a distrib upgrade. Is it possible to pause it and reboot to Windows and resume later? [23:51] my video stuff is fine just when i start compiz-fusion it wont get any effects to work [23:52] no.. trying to compile ndiswrapper [23:52] geeksquad: ask in #compiz [23:52] trontonic [23:52] <_steve_> eXlin, I don't care whether I use Skype or any messenger, so long as I can see and be seen by brother in law [23:52] Some_Person: I'd not try it if I were you....you might hose it all together [23:52] ok [23:52] Some_Person: I think you can cancel it. The next time it won't download the same packages that is already downloaded. It's not recommended to cancel it, though. [23:52] sfears: doesnt the one on the repos do you? [23:52] no.. i'm having issues with wirless all the way around.. and i'm really not sure what to do [23:52] hi, im using ubuntu live cd and i only have a windows partition and i want to make it smaller to have ubuntu on it, i tried to use gparted but it dont work to rezise. [23:52] Could someone please help me with lirc and quick setting up MPlayer. I can see my remote with irw (I can see it sending signals) but how do I use that? [23:53] ActionParsnip: it says: there are problems with the [23:53] >> proxy requiring authentication. Setting http_proxy to [23:53] >> "user:passwd at address:port" doesn't seem to work :/ [23:53] sfears: wireless cards can be a pain. Do you know if someone else with Linux on the web has it working? [23:53] <_steve_> resizing is always a tricky thing [23:53] sfears: if you type "lspci" you can see what the card is really called === urkidi is now known as fer_factor [23:53] _steve: it worked for me now i dont know what the problem is right now. [23:53] _steve_ i remember that i saw some program what you could use to take snapshots from your webcam. i am quite sure that you can still find it from repository [23:53] i've had it working before [23:53] and everything seems to be in place for it to work now.. but for some reason it doesn't [23:53] * Tyrath wonders if ubuntu is both a bot and a human [23:53] sfears: alt+f2, gnome-terminal, lspci | grep Network [23:54] ubottu I mean [23:54] sfears: what do you get? [23:54] Sorry, I don't know anything about i mean [23:54] so that you can use to test your webacm [23:54] haha http://xkcd.com/456/ [23:54] since i've installed 8.10 [23:54] anyhow [23:54] hmm gnome-do segfaults in guess session? [23:54] <_steve_> but does my problem seem more audio, video or something else? [23:54] I'm off [23:54] no [23:54] thanks for the help [23:54] hmmm [23:54] hi [23:54] hopefully that set thing works for both irssi and elinks [23:54] 02:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM43XG (rev 01) [23:54] sfears: sometimes drivers get updated, so that a better driver is used than was used before [23:54] i want to make test of my uploading behavior; how can i add files to a fixture ? [23:54] anyone plays around with RAID? [23:55] Could someone please help me with lirc and quick setting up MPlayer. I can see my remote with irw (I can see it sending signals) but how do I use that? I got lircd.conf working so the signals are recieved. [23:55] hi, im using ubuntu live cd and i only have a windows partition and i want to make it smaller to have ubuntu on it, i tried to use gparted but it dont work to rezise. [23:55] _steve_ since you sayed that callign to skype test call seemed to work but to video call to your brother. its propably problem with webcam [23:55] nicklas_: ive been there [23:55] sfears: a search for "BCM43XG ubuntu" tells me that you're not the only one with problems [23:55] <_steve_> compatibility problem, eXlin? === fonzarelli_ is now known as fonzarelli [23:55] lsbcmnds : driver installed [23:55] device (14E4:4329) present (alternate driver: ssb) [23:55] !broadcom | trontonic [23:55] trontonic: Help with Broadcom bcm43xx can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WifiDocs/Driver/Broadcom43xx [23:55] can be. or it's just unconfigured === georgy_28_ is now known as georgy_28 [23:56] simple question, Is there a way to get rid of the splash screen during start up so I can see what my computer is doing. I am using 8.10 64 bit [23:56] sfears: have you tried this guide? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/Ndiswrapper Or what ActionParsnip/ubottu said === nicholas__ is now known as Tetracomm [23:56] might be that you just need to point out your webcam to skype [23:56] hello...how can i be root on my system..in the terminal i type su thn password then it wont work === d is now known as Guest79974 [23:56] <_steve_> when I try to do a video, it tells me that my webcam isn't installed or connected [23:56] on skype? [23:56] hillbilly3924: ah, yes, just remove "quiet splash" from /boot/grub/menu.lst [23:57] <_steve_> but the webcam IS connected [23:57] I am running Windows XP under Virtualbox. Every couple of moments or so, things like sound, scrolling, and graphics in the XP OS will freeze for a part of a second and then continue again. Is there any way to fix this? [23:57] admin_masu3701: What do you mean "wont work?", what about sudo su? [23:57] _steve_ so skype is saying that? [23:57] i have the driver correctally installed.. it's just still not working [23:57] Hi all Can anybody be so kind as to tell me how to fix a broken localhost? [23:57] please is someone know how to resize my windows partition to a empty one please tell me. [23:57] Thank you trontonic [23:57] i also have an internal wireless card... iwconfig shows my wireless network.. but when i click on knetwork manager.. nothing shows up available === Guest79974 is now known as d-coding [23:57] hillbilly3924: or use "startupmanager" if you want a GUI-program [23:57] <_steve_> I see under webcam in Add/remove 4 programs [23:57] does the disk resizer work for hfs too? [23:57] hey guys could someone help me set up vmware i keep on getting this when i run the command vmware from the console [23:58] hillbilly3924: or use the "dmesg" command, if you just want to check some messages [23:58] my friend is maybe going to install ubuntu as second OS on his macbook [23:58] I was trying to fix the index.html and I most have put the wrong data some place argggg!!! [23:58] ubuntu: Im not sure what you mean. You want to delete the partition? [23:58] Lillambda: sudo su work [23:58] hey guys could someone help me set up vmware i keep on getting this when i run the command vmware from the console /usr/lib/vmware/bin/vmware: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib32/libgio-2.0.so.0: undefined symbol: g_thread_gettime [23:58] :-( [23:58] <_steve_> Cheese, Camorama,Camera monitor, Lynkeos, and Geekcast [23:58] thank you I will give it a shot [23:58] _steve_ think first thing to do is trying to get your webcam to work in any program and then after skype perhaps [23:58] if my laptop periodically freezes, but nothing in logfiles - it just stops responding, with all information on screen, etc - can it be a software problem (e.g., ATI driver), or it is only hardware problem? [23:58] admin_masu3701: sudo -i is prefferred [23:58] LittleLambda: no i want to create a empty partition from my windows partition so i can install ubuntu on the empty partition :P [23:58] sfears: a hot tip for wireless cards is to install "wavemon". It's a great application for checking what's going on [23:59] <_steve_> ok [23:59] think its possibel to config to vlc player for example [23:59] lilambda: whats the difference between sudo and su? [23:59] will try trontonoic [23:59] ActionParnip: what is sudo -i? [23:59] but there is another programs also [23:59] sfears: "iwlist wlan0 scanning" should give you a list of wireless networks nearby if it's working [23:59] <_steve_> but you'd suggest I try to take a snap from my cam? [23:59] admin_masu3701: su is switch user [23:59] does ubuntu support macbooks too? [23:59] admin_masu3701: sudo with interactivity [23:59] sfears: "sudo iwlist wlan0 scanning". Or, if the device is named ath0 instead: "sudo iwlist ath0 scanning" [23:59] Raylz: yep, wifi uses ndiswrapper [23:59] admin_masu3701: Su switchs to the user you give, where sudo executes the command as root.
