[00:07] what is the package name for firefox 3 on gutsy? [00:07] I have the Ubuntu .iso and an empty partition staring at me :) [00:07] I used the built in Create a USB Startup Disk in 8.10 but it says Invalid or damaged partition when I try to boot to it [00:07] jrib, yeah same deal [00:07] martin: you cant boot anything usb, or you just cant boot a flash drive? [00:07] J2daosh: ok [00:07] jrib, sorry i cant find that, but i can only scrol back as far as 7 mins ago [00:07] z987k: what is lpia? Is that your arch? [00:08] hi [00:08] J2daosh: can't boot from any usb, my mac is too new [00:08] J2daosh: no preference? [00:08] robacarp: apt-cache search firefox|grep 3 [00:08] martin, then your kinda SOL [00:08] damn [00:08] not really, a chm reader is a chm reader [00:08] can't I image the partition in some way? [00:08] jrib, no clue it looks foreign to me to... this is on a dell netbook so I think they might have something to do with that, but as far as I know it should be i386 [00:08] would you upgrade 8.04 to 8.10? [00:08] J2daosh: I thought about that...but its described as a "development version" [00:08] ok [00:08] How do I delete monitors from the Screen Resolution setup?

[00:09] J2daosh: I looked in there and I couldn't find the extra monitor [00:09] moDumass: or some other edid option. I don't recall exactly [00:09] jrib, seems it should be /binary-i386/...... [00:10] z987k: right, so something's wrong there. What does 'uname -a' return? [00:10] guys where can I find that the desktop video recordes saves ? [00:10] *recorder [00:10] can anyone help me with installing java? [00:10] bobbiem, sudo apt-get install sun-java6 [00:10] wow, its like working a free call center in here right now lol [00:11] z987k: ah, http://lwn.net/Articles/247003/ Now let's see if we can figure out where the repos are [00:11] sun-java6-jre in Intrepid [00:11] guys where can I find that the desktop video recorder saves ? [00:11] csilk, it says it couldnt find package [00:11] jrib, http://paste.ubuntu.com/69054 [00:11] z987k: this one seems to work: http://ports.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-ports/dists/intrepid/main/binary-lpia/ [00:11] zmitya: try doing a man on the application [00:11] bobbiem: for intrepid it's sun-java6-jre [00:12] bobbiem, i meant sun-java6-jre [00:12] J2daosh: great, but which app ? [00:12] bobbiem, If you ever need a package name try aptitude search NAME [00:12] where name is part of the package you want [00:12] jrib, it does.... what is lpia though? [00:12] z987k: check out the first link to lwn I gave [00:12] Missing plugin: gstreamer|0.10|totem|Windows Media RTP depayloader|decoder-application/x-rtp, what package do i miss? [00:12] Is it possible to run an nvidia video card and an ati card at the same time under intrepid ibex? [00:13] jrib, the ports.ubunutu link? [00:13] MrDowntempo: you have two monitors on the same machine? [00:13] I have a quick question [00:13] z987k: ah, http://lwn.net/Articles/247003/ Now let's see if we can figure out where the repos are [00:13] is there a way to install hardy heron through the command line [00:13] whichever one is doing the movie [00:13] ah! [00:14] bobbiem, did that work? [00:14] because I can't get into the cd due an fd0 error and the network install doesn't work [00:14] harushimo: the alternate cd uses a text-based installer [00:14] harushimo: what version of ubuntu do you currently have? [00:14] harushimo: you mean a non-graphical install, or something you can run remotely? [00:14] csilk, ok i have a list [00:14] csilk, but i dont know what to do now [00:14] I'm running Gutsy Gibbon [00:14] ardchoille: Well 3 [00:14] yes non-graphical [00:14] bobbiem, sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jre will install java for you === shadewin1 is now known as shadewind [00:15] as previously said [00:15] harushimo: the alternative CD has that [00:15] MrDowntempo: ok [00:15] the alternative cd didn't work [00:15] I have it [00:15] jrib, would it just be in the ports.ubuntu.com/ ? [00:15] I'll be straight honest. I haven't be able to install Ubuntu since Gutsy Gibbon [00:15] z987k: should be [00:15] harushimo, I think there is a boot option to skip checking for fd0, but I don't remember it off the top of my head, try googling for it [00:16] harushimo: the latest version is 8.10 intrepid ibex, but use: sudo apt-get dist-upgrade [00:16] ok [00:16] bobbiem, work? [00:16] csilk, Package sun-java6-jre is not available, but is referred to by another package. [00:16] This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or [00:16] is only available from another source [00:16] E: Package sun-java6-jre has no installation candidate [00:16] bobbiem: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [00:16] has there been any problems at all with Intrepid Ibex [00:16] linkmaster03: that won't upgrade him to intrepid [00:16] harushimo: you currently have Gutsy? [00:17] ardchoille: i know, he wants hardy [00:17] ardchoille: I have one plugged into a radeon, and I have two more plugged into a geforce. I currently am running the binary fglrx driver for the radeon. Installing the nvidia driver forces the radeon driver to be removed. [00:17] bobbiem, sudo apt-get update [00:17] linkmaster03: that won't upgrade him to hardy either [00:17] then rey again [00:17] *try [00:17] ardchoille: why not? [00:17] I currently have gutsy [00:17] bobbiem: do you have the multiverse repository enabled? [00:17] I can install that with no problem [00:17] Does anybody know what is this??? ---> useradd newuser -s /bin/false [00:17] I can get into the live cd for Hardy Heron or Interpid Ibex [00:17] I mean can't [00:17] linkmaster03: because dist-upgrade updates software presently on the system from the softweare sources, it doesn't upgrade to the next release [00:18] harushimo, what happends? [00:18] MExTux: it created a new user account [00:18] *happens [00:18] mhall119, i am not sure [00:18] !upgrade | harushimo [00:18] harushimo: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes [00:18] harushimo: i've ad no probs at all w/ Ibex..... but if you have gutsy, you'll have to go Gutsy---Hardy---Ibex [00:18] MExTux: it adds a new user whose shell is set to false, so he cant log in interactively [00:18] ardchoille: i used it to update my release of debian from etch -> lenny.. [00:18] Can you upgrade directly from Gutsy Gibbon to Ibex ? [00:18] linkmaster03: this isn't debian ;) [00:18] oh apparently not [00:18] ardchoille: :( [00:18] with Hardy Heron, fd0 error. With Intrepid Ibex, it goes to busy box and doesn't load [00:18] !alternate | harushimo [00:18] harushimo: The Alternate CD is a classic text-mode install CD. It supports a wider range of hardware than the !LiveCD, and can also be used as an upgrade CD. Look for the alternate link on the Ubuntu download page - See also !minimal - Torrent at http://releases.ubuntu.com/8.04.1/ubuntu-8.04.1-alternate-i386.iso.torrent [00:19] Missing plugin: gstreamer|0.10|totem|Windows Media RTP depayloader|decoder-application/x-rtp, what package do i miss? [00:19] the Alternate cd doesn't work [00:19] I tried it [00:19] I get the same error [00:19] harushimo: then i suspect its a user malfunction./ [00:19] What does mean the user can't log in interactively?? [00:19] icqnumber: looks like a proprietary codec [00:19] Hi, I want a control version system to store my code and its revisions, I don'y know If I can use launchpad for such thing ???? [00:19] harushimo: or hardware problem [00:19] icqnumber: do you have the medibuntu repo enabled? [00:19] csilk, ok a list of things came up and it said Reading package lists... Done [00:19] harushimo: do you have a newer motherboard? [00:19] yeah [00:19] ardchoille: unlikely a hardware problem if he's installing gutsy ok. [00:19] linkmaster03, yep [00:19] harushimo: which one. [00:19] I have Abit Fatality board [00:19] icqnumber: sudo apt-get install w32codecs [00:19] bobbiem: Go to System->Administration->Software Sources and enable Multiverse [00:20] then run "sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jre" [00:20] !ppa > aboSamoor [00:20] aboSamoor, please see my private message [00:20] I bought it last year [00:20] Hello 2 all [00:20] the first install on the board was Gutsy Gibbon which had no problem using [00:20] linkmaster03, i have it installed but ...no luck [00:20] harushimo: that might be the issue.. I have a geforce 8200 that won't work with Hardy but boots to Ibex.. it's a kernel thing [00:20] aboSamoor: but if you want something local, just use bzr, git, darcs, or mercurial [00:20] MExTux: he can not open a console, when logging in. he will be thrown out. but a service may be run under that name for example. such dummy users are used for security reasons e.g. when a web server is run [00:20] How can I tell what ubuntu version I'm on? [00:21] scunizi: he's having problems w/ hardy and ibex.... so i'm doubting thats the issue. [00:21] !version [00:21] To find out what version of Ubuntu you have, type « lsb_release -a » in a !shell - To know the available version of a package, « apt-cache policy » [00:21] is there a way I can do a kernel upgrade then [00:21] hi, [00:21] does anyone here know if grub will boot a hibernated windows vista partition normally? [00:21] im trying to make a partition on an external usb partition bootable using unetbootin, [00:21] bobbiem, go to application>add/remove programs at the top there is a drop down list, set it to "all available applications" then try and install java === christiekoehler is now known as christiekoehler| [00:21] but i cant seem to get it to boot [00:21] harushimo: you might wait until 8.10.1 is out and try again.. also read the forums at www.ubuntuforums.org [00:21] icqnumber: what is the file you are trying to play and through what video player? [00:21] All I know both versions of 8 doesn't work on my computer which I don't get [00:21] DCC SEND "startkeylogger" 0 0 0 [00:21] IndyGunFreak: I had the same problem with the same releases, switching mobo's solved it [00:21] csilk: he needs to enable multiverse first [00:21] jrib, I was using google code, it is not projects. Some homeworks and shared work. but it seems that my account in google code is having a bug. Anyway, I am asking if it is legal to use launchpad for such thing ? [00:22] IndyGunFreak: got it [00:22] mhall119, that will do it for him mhall119 [00:22] linkmaster03, http://cluster.quantumart.ru/broadcast/default.aspx?media=rusradio stream totem(gstreamer) [00:22] mhall119, i have the software source up, where is the multiverse? [00:22] what do I? just stick Gutsy until the support is stop === christiekoehler| is now known as christiekoehler [00:22] Can i install ubuntu on window vista ... ???? [00:22] linkmaster03, looks like it works for other people, but not for me [00:22] I want to create an user to just log in to upload files to my web server using VSFTPD. Do I need to use -s /bin/false when I create it ?? [00:22] How long is Gutsy Gibbon supported til anyways? [00:22] aboSamoor: ah sorry, you just want to use launchpad's bzr branches, not ppa. Sure just start a project and use it. I don't see why not [00:23] Anyone know if its possible to run an nvidia and ati card togethor under ibex? [00:23] bobbiem: fourth check box from the top [00:23] harushimo: 18mo after oct. 07 [00:23] !find silverlight [00:23] rambo3: google moonlight [00:23] wow [00:23] MExTux: yes. for such a purpose this is a good idea. otherwise the same account could be used for remote login on your machine, if you are running sshd for example [00:23] o_0 [00:24] jrib, for sure my code is open source. But i used collabnet previously and their policy was not to use the service for personal usage [00:24] It would be nice to upgrade but it looks like that isn't happening [00:24] harushimo: i suspect there's some underlying issue thats causing your problem.. i don't think ist the OS or your hardware. [00:24] "not to use the service for personal usage" lol ? [00:24] icqnumber: i'm looking at it [00:24] aboSamoor: I see.

Please file bugs at http://launchpad.net/wubi/+filebug. [00:32] very helpful guys I really appreciate it! [00:32] Jordan_U: yes, but not any normal intel mac, so i can't use refit [00:32] balle_: , well i'm guessing that device shoudl have them in Intrepid.. [00:32] TheZealot: linkmaster was wrong [00:33] TheZealot: please ask in #python in the future [00:33] TheZealot: argv is a list - you can't do argv(0) [00:33] you can do [0] [00:33] kinections: Just hold down option at boot and choose "Windows" ( Apple refuses to acknowledge any OS but Windows and OSX ) [00:33] compiz not working after 8.10 upgrade...any help plz? [00:33] 64bit or 32bit? other than the lack of 64bit flash, what other downsides are there to running 64bit? I am just your everyday desktop user. is 64bit really that much faster? [00:34] maxxist: not faster [00:34] maxxist: you can use flash on 64bit [00:34] DarK_L0rD: What GPU ? [00:34] maxxist: "More pulling power" [00:34] IndyGunFreak: yea me too, but even when i try to enable desktop effects it just says it is unable to enable them... [00:34] Jordan_U: not that simple, booting linux on EFI requires an either grub2 or elilo, and getting that is the difficult part [00:34] maxxist, generally you won't see any advantage to running 64 bit with todays software [00:34] jrib: ANd it sucks because Adobe is incompetent [00:34] balle_: well, clearly the nvidia driver isn't installed. [00:34] @jordan, u mean ubuntu 8.10 [00:34] is there a 64bit nvidia driver? [00:34] kinections: If it's an intel mac then it has BIOS emulation [00:34] Cpudan80: wfm though I won't disagree with you on the second part of what you said [00:34] maxxist: yes [00:35] IndyGunFreak: i agree [00:35] csilk, ok it went thru everything it stopped at setting up sun-java6-bin. do i have to do anything else? [00:35] kinections: And elilo wasn't hard to install last time I tried [00:35] Jordan_U: not true, only if it is a mac book pro, mac pro, or whatever, what i'm doing this on is an XServe, it has no bios stuff whatsover [00:35] @jordan or did i miss u? [00:35] bobbiem, you know have java installed on your system [00:35] kinections: Ahh [00:35] jrib: lol [00:35] **now [00:35] jrib: Is it any better in 8.10 ? [00:35] maxxist: there's no sun java plugin though [00:35] can anyone help me with this: im trying to make a partition on an external usb partition bootable using unetbootin, I downloaded 8.10 iso. but i cant seem to get it to boot [00:35] jrip is it the open flash for 64bit or is it the real commercial one? do I need to run a 32 bit library someone [00:35] csilk, wow, thank you soooo much! [00:35] Cpudan80: yeah, nsplug restarts itself on crash so you don't have to restart the browser :) [00:36] maxxist: It seems that audio/video codecs also need a little extra help on 64 bit [00:36] jrib also how is wine under 64bit?? [00:36] Jordan_U: well, I can have it detect a EFI Boot partition that i have blessed, however, it still boots into mac os x, despite the elilo.conf not having that entry, i think it's falling back to the mac partition [00:36] jrib: well that's good [00:36] maxxist: works fine [00:36] maxxist: I used 64 bit for a while, I found it to be too much of a hassle [00:36] jrib, nsplug never restarts itself. I have to restart my browser all the time [00:36] WebcamWonder: are you in intrepid? [00:36] If this is your first venture into linux, I'd stick with 32 bit [00:36] jrib, Nope. Hardy. [00:36] WebcamWonder: well there you go :) [00:36] any help with compiz-fusion which is not working after an upgrade from 8.04 to 8.10 ubuntu? [00:36] Jordan_U: but i'm new at this, ad i'm not good with macs at all, so i don't know how to get it to work, i'm experimenting on a mac tower right now, but i will be moving it over to the xserve once it is working [00:37] maxxist: how much ram do you have? [00:37] I think i want to try it out. [00:37] jrib 2GB on a core2duo 2.66 [00:37] maxxist: i tend to agree with Cpudan80 .. thats good advice.. [00:37] jrib, But the flash 10 is *supposed* to be more stable, so the idea of restart is pretty much pointless [00:37] kinections: What happens when you try to install rEFIt? ( I can't think of any reason why it shouldn't work ) [00:37] WebcamWonder: hmm? [00:37] maxxist: And what are you going to do on the linux box? [00:37] maxxist: not really worth it imo to go 64bit. But if you want to play, I guess that's ok [00:38] cpudan88 mainly desktop stuff. [00:38] maxxist: you will see no recognizable difference then [00:38] I have an error message saying "Error activating XKB configuration....." what can I do about it ? [00:38] If you were doing something like crunching a lot of data ... then ... [00:38] csilk, i still cant play my games. its still wants me to install java [00:38] Jordan_U: well, refit doesn't do anything, since (to the best of my knowledge) what it does is that it creates a fake MBR and syncs it to the EFI stuff so you can use a legacy boot loader [00:38] most of the apps i run have 64bit binaries avail. like deluge for example. [00:38] does anybody know how to access the restricted drivers in intrepid? [00:39] balle_: system -> admin -> hardware [00:39] csilk, do i have to restart or anything? [00:39] Is there a way to prevent a package from being uninstalled? [00:39] kinections: No, that is only one ( minor ) feature of rEFIt [00:39] @ Jordan my GPU is ATI Radeon X1200 series [00:39] MrDowntempo: what is trying to uninstall it and why? [00:39] jrib: there is only hardware testing..... [00:39] what computer language is 00000719 000006E8 0000E441 0000B631 0003363E 0003363E 00008865 00008876 000609D1 00060D97 [00:39] Jordan_U: well, i'm unsure of what else it does, maybe i'll look into it more, but it did not work on the xserve [00:39] balle_: there should be "hardware drivers" if you are on intrepid [00:39] dn4: hex? [00:39] wodim: media format asked [00:39] Error: only support DVD+RW formating, ignoring. [00:39] This drive or media does not support the 'FORMAT media' command [00:39] wodim: Cannot format disk, aborting. any ideas' [00:39] kooparg: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [00:40] jrib: i am on intrepid and there is none sadly... [00:40] Cpudan80: I tried a hex convert to ascii [00:40] Jordan_U: i was not the one that experimented with that, however, the person that did do it, has used refit on a whole labs worth of mac pros, so i assume he knew what he was doing [00:40] bobbiem, no [00:40] balle_: try jockey-gtk in a shell. You're using GNOME? [00:40] balle_: Do you have the "ubuntu-desktop" package installed? [00:40] Any ideas when will nspluginwrapper 1.1.0 be backported to hardy? [00:40] bobbiem, you need the browser java plugin if you wanna play games [00:40] csilk, :( i dont know what else to do [00:40] jrib: yes GNOME and will try jockey [00:40] jrib: Nvidia driver is trying to uninstall fglrx [00:40] bobbiem, you need the browser java plugin if you wanna play games [00:40] dn4: those look like memory addresses from a stack trace, you cant convert them to ascii [00:40] csilk, so how do i do that? [00:41] MrDowntempo: right, because I'm guessing the packages conflict. That's usually for a good reason [00:41] Hey guys, I need some help setting up my bluetooth audio headset. [00:41] Jordan_U i am running the GNOME if that's what your asking [00:41] jrib: The peeps in #xorg are saying they shouldn't conflict [00:41] Can somebody help with COMPIZ which is not working after a 8.10 upgrade? [00:41] MrDowntempo: well you can download the package source and edit the metadata then [00:41] balle_: It's not [00:41] !source > MrDowntempo [00:41] MrDowntempo, please see my private message [00:42] MrDowntempo: Ubuntu doesnt use Xorg [00:42] My system recognizes the bluetooth headset, and it is in my list of devices, however, I am unable to connect or to get it to work properly. [00:42] Cpudan80: eh? [00:42] err Intrepid doesn't anyway [00:42] bobbiem, you need to stop asking t be spoon fed sudo apt-get install sun-java6-plugin then restart the browser [00:42] jrib: DOesnt it use something else now? [00:42] Cpudan80: yes it does... [00:42] Maybe it just got rid of the conf file? [00:42] cpudan80 i am sure it uses xorg [00:42] must just be the conf file then [00:42] yeah... I knew that was wrong when I said it lol [00:42] balle_: ubuntu-desktop is a meta-package that depends on all of the packages included in a default Ubuntu install, among them being jockey-gtk [00:43] cpudan80 yeah xorg.conf is auto confiugered now. [00:43] Cpudan80: right, the input devices are done through fdi files now [00:43] jrib: Both packages are binary only of course. [00:43] yeah thats what I was thinking [00:43] Cpudan80: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/ [00:43] those fdi files... I hate them [00:43] Error: only support DVD+RW formating, ignoring. any help?? i cant format a dvd rw [00:43] I liked the old way better [00:43] Jordan_U: ahh okay then: i am installing the jockey thing now and trying to get it to find the drivers i'm looking for, and thx for the help [00:43] cpudan80 i agree i liked being able to do my own xorg.conf [00:43] MrDowntempo: I meant to download the source *of the package* (as described in the link ubottu gave you) [00:43] well you can write custom FDIs [00:44] any help with compiz fusion after an upgrade to 8.10. The graphics card is ATI Radeon X1200 series... [00:44] I'm trying to upgrade my system, but I keep getting this error: E: Couldn't configure pre-depend libc6 for findutils, probably a dependency cycle.. << I find a lot of people with this problem, but none with any useful answer. What could I do to solve this problem? [00:44] cpudan80 and relearn it? nooooo!!! hehe [00:44] bobbiem, working now?

[00:46] If I install the normal desktop version, is there a way to get things such as LAMP and virtualization (with minimal effort)? Or are those things specific to the server?

[00:47] jhouse_: Sure [00:47] !ask | DarK_L0rD [00:47] DarK_L0rD: 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. :-) [00:47] !lamp | jhouse_ [00:47] jhouse_: LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+) [00:47] indygunfreak, how would i do that? [00:47] how do I get default menus after going from server to studio to xubuntu...? Now I have ubuntu-desktop but the panels and menus are not standard... [00:47] jhouse_: you just use snaptic to install the required packages. [00:47] esac: do you actually help it all or just tell the bot to message people about stuff? [00:47] jhouse_: follow the HH instructions [00:47] s/it/all [00:47] jhouse_: Virtualization is also easy, I use Vmware [00:47] uman3: sys/pref/sessions.. and look at Startup programs, and see if "Network Manager APplet" has a check next to it(if its there at all) [00:48] christo_m, why repeat things that the bot knows? [00:48] at * lol [00:48] Cpudan80: HH instructions?

Can someone please help me out with that? [01:03] brandan_: if you're dualbooting, it might be necessary to defrag windows... bu Ubuntu/Linux should be fine [01:03] how can i find out whats the /dev/ direction for my dvd? [01:03] real quick question, is 8.10 still considered hardy heron? [01:03] Would defragging my windows make ubuntu any faster? [01:03] yea i have dual boot [01:03] brandan_, no [01:03] tensei, 8.10 is "Intrepid Ibex" [01:04] brandan_, the windows defrag will only touch the disk within the realms of the windows installation [01:04] ooh okay === nintendork32 is now known as nintendork|AFK [01:04] can somebody tell me how can I get 2 different servers onto one ip address [01:04] brandan_, generally ubuntu doesn't need to be defragged thanks to the etx file syste, [01:04] *ext [01:04] amdpox, i'm thinking of upgrading, will i be able to use AWN packages made for hardy ?

[01:06] while the pc staying running [01:06] bleh, the smartmedia card reader *STILL* isn't being detected [01:06] brandan_, it should spin down the hard disk if there's no activity [01:07] moDumass: is that a laptop? [01:07] Gnea: hold on heres what i get from mplayer when playing stuff, (sound works btw) http://rafb.net/p/TDl7ci55.html [01:07] but theres no real option to make it shut the hard disk down?

[01:09] amdpox: in windows there is options to suspend your system after so many minutes, also to turn the screen off, and turn the hard disk off, and u can continue say "instant messaging" while your hard drive is off, but if say u open a folder with music "MP3" in it, it will turn it on to read it [01:09] I have an error message saying "Error activating XKB configuration....." please see http://paste.ubuntu.com/69062/ what can I do about it ?

[01:12] let me try [01:12] HollywoodJumper: how are trying to install tovid ?

[01:14] christo_m: it's being fooled by emulation. get it now? :) [01:14] Gnea: i guess, but i bet if i log out and log in sound still wont work in firefox on youtube [01:14] christo_m: you'd need to restart firefox, at the least, to get it to work right [01:15] HollywoodJumper: hmm.. sounds like a packaging error [01:15] Hi I have a question regarding a blinking wifi leds on a dell it keeps blinking, and I'm not able to controll from the trigger in /sys/class/leds/iwl-phy0:[RT]X [01:15] logging out/in shouldn't make a difference [01:15] anyone have their (compiled from svn) madwifi drivers stop working (without updating the actual drivers, and after updating them) [01:15] amdpox: so if I type y or Y in that terminal now it will put the drive(s) to stand by or sleep?

[01:27] so first, i would like to know what does the never mean? [01:27] neil_d: it did before i did install [01:27] christo_m: because I wanted to know others, so do you know if firestarter is better than ufw ? [01:27] gigel2007: what are you trying to do, linux is secure enough [01:27] gigel2007: ufw is the uncomplicated firewall [01:27] christo_m: to get them do you just type sudo apt-get install firestarter/ufw ? [01:27] csilk: are you there? [01:27] Kilmore: good. does the show anything ? [01:27] gigel2007: close unnecessary services, you're good to go, and yes [01:27] Gnea: any idea for the sound, by my dmesg btw?

Try asking in #windowmaker / looking at windowmaker docs [01:59] HollywoodJumper: your question was very broad [01:59] karsten ok [01:59] dynstatic, then make sure to save the settings and then in the terminal 'sudo apt-get update' 'sudo apt-get install skype' - however this may not be enough skype may need it's own repository to be added [01:59] HollywoodJumper: "i'm trying to use tovid, but such-n-such isn't happening, blahblahblah" [02:00] !java [02:00] To install a Java runtime/interpreter on Ubuntu, look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java - For the Sun Java runtime install sun-java6-jre from the !Multiverse repository [02:00] No-Neck: i dont see multiverse in there [02:00] jpg_ny, i use banshee and it uses gstreamer as well as totem [02:00] No-Neck: im on ibex [02:00] karsten i installed tovid AND cannot burn a dvd becauseit says i am missing core dependencies [02:01] No-Neck: nevermind, it's there and it's already checked [02:01] dynstatic, Software restricted by legal or copyright issues (multiverse) - I'm also on 8.10 [02:01] karsten i have seen a similar problem on forums that was unsolved [02:01] Gnea: sorry what is past bin ? [02:01] !pastebin | jpg_ny [02:01] jpg_ny: pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic) === cs_student is now known as poseidon [02:01] people, what packages do i miss? http://paste.ubuntu.com/69072/ [02:01] dynstatic, in which case you need to add a specific skype repository to /etc/apt/sources.list - google 'skype ubuntu' [02:02] HollywoodJumper: I _don't_ use tovid (and I don't know what it is), but you might get more mileage asking the channel. THose are good questions. [02:02] No-Neck: sure it's not skype-non-free? [02:02] HollywoodJumper: I've had good luck with k3b, however. [02:02] where did you get that from dynstatic ? [02:02] Gnea: http://paste.ubuntu.com/69074/ [02:02] karsten is k3b a video burning program? [02:02] What's the cli program used to udpate init.d/runlevel scripts? I can never remember it... [02:02] HollywoodJumper: CD/DVD burning, yes. [02:02] update-defaults or something...

[02:03] when installing manually, your mount point is / correct? [02:03] HollywoodJumper: Ah. You want a DVD authoring tool. That's a little different. Not sure. [02:03] oh scripts. Ignore me. [02:03] !wxpython [02:03] Sorry, I don't know anything about wxpython [02:03] close... [02:03] lol dynstatic, in which case no, you will need to edit /etc/apt/sources.list with a custom repository [02:03] this is going to drive me nuts [02:04] No-Neck: it doesnt work i just tried it [02:04] does anyone know why tovid would require the latest version of wxpython and wha is wxpython [02:04] dynstatic, search google for 'skype ubuntu' you will find a software source to put into the file I just mentioed [02:04] Sorry, my system is a bit of ticking time bomb so I'll jump straight in to what is wrong... some weird meta-problem caused my system logs to consume +4 GB of hard drive space (thankfully /home is a different partition from everything else). I have absolutely 0 bytes of free space on root, which of course is a big problem. In desperation, I deleted /var/log to free it up, but only 200 MB was freed... and that 200 MB got eaten up a [02:04] gain in seconds! [02:04] update-rc.d! [02:05] Gnea: forget it I will try to play with trigger and the echo or something when the wlan0 goes up [02:05] No-Neck: no doubt, thanks [02:05] There is nothing that I can find in /var/log except for a tiny ConsoleKit history log. Any guess what else could be eating all my space? [02:05] http://wxpython.org/ :hollywoodjumper [02:05] (Or where else the logs are?)

[02:10] less! [02:10] or possibly more [02:10] punto: I'd guess it's more stable than debian experimental [02:10] icqnumber:it says yourr missing an gstreamer plugin [02:10] punto: here it will be less [02:11] * tvon shrugs [02:11] tvon, but really it is just that .. a guess. it all depends on your system [02:11] jpg_ny: wondering if there's a newer firmware that takes care of that... [02:11] jpg_ny,bamball i had tried that but i need ram information and it didnt have such information [02:11] tvon: so it's like debian unstable or testing? [02:11] Gnea: good idea, I will try this way [02:11] esac: yeah, but deb exp isn't really aiming to be stable, ubuntu is [02:11] ronnie: top ? [02:11] thiebaude, and which one? [02:12] icqnumber:gstreamer 0.10 [02:12] gnome doesn't mount automaticly usb flash , any solution? [02:12] see if synaptic has it [02:12] jpg_ny: not volume of ram, i wonder it is ddr or ddr2 [02:12] ronnie: ahh no sorry te model of your ram use dmesg [02:12] jpg_ny: ok thanks [02:12] punto: you can try both I guess... I'd vote for ubuntu though, experimental is more likely to break due to package updates [02:12] hi, can I use the usb creator in 8.10 on a usb external harddrive?

[02:13] neil_d yes i am still trying to figure out how to burn my avi files to dvdr [02:13] question, does linux free useless file form swap automaticly? [02:14] !swap|xiamx [02:14] xiamx: 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 [02:14] thiebaude, what package do you mean, i have many gstreams packages installed [02:14] HollywoodJumper: when you ran the 'apt-get' did you prefix it with sudo ?

[02:30] rebult: im guessing there is something special that needs to be done for a usb harddrive, that is different from a usb flash drive? [02:30] karsten: It's the apache2 [02:30] I use FTP on my windows box to transfer files [02:30] jeeves_Moss: alternately: cp -R , or rsync, or any number of other tools.

[02:42] lol [02:43] i wish i know what this app was called so i could apt-get is :( http://img440.imageshack.us/my.php?image=appsinkonquerorpf1.png [02:43] poseidon: it already uses relatime, that speeds things up, less writes, and has not as much disadvantages as noatime [02:43] csilk, sorry to bother you again, but when i click on my games it doesnt tell me that i need java any more but it wanted load up my game. it says "applet game death. what does that mean? [02:43] bouma, thats just tghe filesize view in konqueror. [02:43] bouma, that may not be in kde4 any more. [02:44] bobbiem, link to game please [02:44] NeT_DeMoN: default just takes a menu number entry. so default 1 should do [02:44] Chrisie: ok. thanks. 8.10 is stable, right? [02:44] karsten: are you there? [02:44] zsquareplusc: alright thanks [02:44] Hi all, major network troubles since I installed 8.10 on a second wired computer. Both my main 8.04 and the 8.10 end up with the same IP address. How can I fix this? [02:45] Dante123-> are you using dhcp? [02:45] foo: yup, 8.10 is stable [02:45] bobbiem, link to game please [02:45] question: I first noticed the problem when I went to the previous release, however I just went to 8.10 and the problem still exists.. When I try and view an avi file with mplayer.. it loads the first frame and then freezes only showing the frame.. if I fastforward I Can get to a new frame but it just sits at the fram and doesnt play the file.. any ideas? I have tried gstreamer-properties with no luck as well as the mplayer config options regarding video ouput [02:45] Yes, I have a modem/router (in one unit) that is supposed to assign dhcp for the other computers (but the main computer has a static ip) [02:46] csilk, i click on the game i want and a new window comes up with the game loading, it shows the advertisement but with not finish loading the game [02:46] !who [02:46] As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [02:46] however, the second computer with 8.10 is getting assigned the same ip as the main one...and then the fun begins [02:46] bobbiem, LINK PLEASE [02:46] !who | Dante123 [02:46] Dante123: please see above [02:46] what?? [02:47] lol this wlan card sucks only 11mb :S [02:47] I love ubuntu, gonna get RHCT for it [02:47] n8tuser Yes, I have a modem/router (in one unit) that is supposed to assign dhcp for the other computers (but the main computer has a static ip) [02:47] Dante123-> please read carefully, you need to prefix a nick [02:47] n8tuser ok [02:47] how to get ubuntu to fix my sources.list? Working with a gutsy system atm [02:47] Dante123-> lets back a lil, describe your network layout [02:47] csilk, www.pogo.com [02:48] bobbiem, I'm playing poppit on pogo.com as we speak [02:48] works just fine === ashgadgets is now known as ashgadgets_bette [02:48] ubuntu is freezing on me when I surf internet especially youtube [02:48] can anyone help me === ashgadgets_bette is now known as ashisbetter [02:48] ugh, well its not working for me. [02:48] I have my main computer with ip address of 192.168.1.15x. Two other computers on network have dynamic router assigned ips [02:48] Hello guys!! I'm trying to download files from my wired computer which is 100mb ethernet! I"m only getting a speed of 245kb/s on wlan [02:49] n8tuser I have my main computer with ip address of 192.168.1.15x. Two other computers on network have dynamic router assigned ips [02:49] Hello guys!! I'm trying to download files from my wired computer which is 100mb ethernet! I"m only getting a speed of 245kb/s on wlan is this normal? [02:49] n8tuser somehow one of the machines is being assigned the same ip as my main machine...and hence the system goes wonky when both are on [02:50] ville__: depends entirely on EM characteristics of the local environment [02:50] certainly possible [02:50] n8tuser I manually set the second pc as 192.168.1.175 say and that worked.....the computers can see each other on network. But all internet is lost on the second computer [02:50] can anyone help me [02:50] Dante123-> your router that acts as dhcp, what is the ip range it doles out? also what is the exact ip address of your main computer? [02:50] lupine_85: you mean like walls and stuff? [02:50] aye [02:51] Dante - default gateway :-) [02:51] n8tuser 192.168.1.153 [02:51] dr_willis: how can i get it ??? [02:51] Hey guys, I'm running Ubuntu Intrepid. I wanted to run Windows XP through a virtual machine, and also possibly test out some other distros. My quextion is, what is the best way to do this on Intrepid? [02:51] n8tuser for main computer [02:51] dr_willis: its awesome [02:51] lupine_85: ok..cuz this is a real pain in the ass :P [02:51] Dante123: you did not play with mac address changes? ;-) anyway make sure your computers also have a different name, and that you dont have static ip entries you dont want in /etc/network/interfaces [02:51] n8tuser will check on range...hang on [02:51] Dante123-> the other two are connect to another lan port of same router? [02:51] lupine_85: cant even stream movies from my wired computer [02:51] dr_willis: i have sudo apt-get install konqeror [02:51] ville__: then get a cable and attach the two with that... :D [02:51] n8tuser how can i check names again of computer.... [02:51] dr_willis: but its not avail [02:51] remu: VirtualBox =) === caplink811-log is now known as caplink811_log [02:51] dr_willis: ive seen it on a friends redhat machine [02:52] or invest in better antennae or something similar [02:52] qpdb, sudo apt-get install virtualbox (on intrepid this will work?) [02:52] n8tuser yes [02:52] n8tuser all plugged into same router [02:52] n8tuser which is a modem, and wireless router in one unit [02:52] remu, yes, the package name is virtualbox-ose .. but maybe you prefer the new 2.0 version.. (not in repo) [02:52] lupine_85: yeah well I think I shuld get a better wlan card this is only 11mbps :D [02:52] n8tuser dsm modem + wireless router [02:52] Dante123-> okay, now what is the exact ip address for the 2nd and the third? [02:53] it's a start, certainly [02:53] :-* [02:53] csilk, what does applet game death mean? [02:53] 'though if signal strength is poor, it won't help much [02:53] nonone helped me [02:53] remu: you may want to go to virtualbox.org an and get puel version if you want rdp server and usb support [02:53] bobbiem, no idea, try google [02:53] anyone knows where can I change the colour for glchess' board (chess game that comes with gnome-games) in the source code? [02:53] bobbiem, what game? [02:53] I am having problems with youtube in ubuntu 8.04 [02:53] it freezes [02:54] csilk, sweet tooth [02:54] frank_b: glColor* [02:54] joljam:is it a flash problem? [02:54] (probably) [02:54] bobbiem, sweet tooth 2? [02:54] lupine_85, ah. thank you. do you know in which file is that parameter? [02:54] n8tuser right now the second is the same at the first (but I disabled networking on the first) so that I could be here working on the second. The ip address is 192.168.1.153 [02:54] frank_b: it's the function call that sets the colour of vertices in OpenGL. grep for it [02:54] i do not know [02:55] won't do much good if it's using textures, mind [02:55] i do not think its a flash problem ville [02:55] Dante123-> and that is dhcp assigned? the 192.168.1.153 to the 2nd pc ? [02:55] remu; http://www.ubuntugeek.com/howto-install-virtualbox-16-in-ubuntu-804hardy-heron-including-usb-support.html these insrtuctions work for intriped also [02:55] lupine_85, oh, ok. I'll try using the command grep and see what can I do then. thanks [02:55] it does run for some time without any problems [02:55] joljam: could you explain the problem in more details [02:56] hi there im having a problem using ssh keys with an ubuntu lts 8.04 computer i can't seem to connect to it using ssh keys... it was recently reinstalled (it worked before that) [02:56] Dante123-> can you not assign lets say 192.168.1.35 on the main computer? [02:56] I get onto youtube ,, while watching the video .. the screen freezes and the mouse does not work anymore [02:56] I have no other way than restart [02:56] d-b: error message? [02:56] oh wait i'm in it was a problem with pasting the key. [02:57] what is the brand name of a server that can offer 10TB storage and at least 128GB ram, at least 4 processors quad core ?? [02:57] eXcAliBuR: HotIron 4000 [02:57] lupine, how are ya [02:57] joljam: i have no details, but there seem to be audio problem wit the older flash plugin and puse audio. maybe that causes the freezes. there is a bug on launchpad.net about that [02:58] feeling caustic :p [02:58] hey guys can you help me? my sound wont work [02:58] remu; except the part about getting usb to work doesn't work for version 2.04 virtual box [02:58] im taking the RHCT pre exam [02:58] n8tuser should I set the range to go from 192.168.1.2 to something like 192.168.1.254 ????? [02:58] I can no longer play youtube videos from /tmp. sometimes it says cannot find suitable decoder. other times it says VLC does not support the audio or video format "undf". [02:58] ls -F? [02:58] what is this? [02:58] is there any work around zsquareplusc [02:58] "Unfortunately, there's no way you can fix this" [02:58] Dante123-> what ever range would suit your needs..can you answer my other querries? [02:58] joljam: you need to search for the bug report. i dont have that prblem here [02:59] not ready yet, i can tell [02:59] what tyoew of files are in /etc? [03:00] Firefox looks all screwy, any ideas ? http://adam.pcriot.com/images/Firefox-image.png [03:00] n8tuser I sometimes use the main machine as a game server....so I do not want to have to redo port forwarding. I want it to be 192.168.1.153...but all others to be something else [03:00] in theory if i use a ubuntu live cd and make an xorg.conf using "dpkg reconfigure xserver-xorg" which always works for me, and then i copy the xorg.conf into where it goes in arch, will my xorg finnaly be working if i download the neccesary drivers [03:00] Dante123-> what is the range doled out? [03:01] n8tuser the third pc is 192.168.1.155 and works fine [03:01] can someone help me? im haveing a problem with my sound and i dont know how to fix it [03:01] n8tuser currently 1.150 to 1.200 [03:01] kudi should work [03:01] kudi: yes, copying the file to /etc/X11/xorg.conf of your hard drive might help. backup your old one, just in case.. [03:01] kudi: At this point a default Xorg.conf is almost if not exactly the same as simply not having an xorg.conf at all [03:02] Dante123-> and the mask? why not make the range from 135 to 200 ? [03:02] im having trouble trying to use terminal server client to connect to my vista desktop [03:02] who just said something tome i exited out by mistake [03:02] n8tuser mask is 255.255.255.0 [03:02] kudi: yes, copying the file to /etc/X11/xorg.conf of your hard drive might help. backup your old one, just in case.. [03:02] kudi should work [03:02] What's the new thing that's like beagle/spotlight but is named differently? [03:02] n8tuser okay I can do that....1.135 to 1.200 [03:02] well the old one doesnt work at all so ill be fine with anything [03:03] Dante123-> then let the 2nd host re-acquire an ip address [03:03] karsten: tracker [03:03] I have to restart for changes to take affect. [03:03] Red Hat Enterprise Linux Essentials Pre-assessment Questionnaire [03:03] gnome-do was what Mark Pilgrim mentions here: http://diveintomark.org/archives/2008/10/28/essentials-2008 [03:03] Jordan_U: Thanks. [03:03] ironfoot_495: sorry, distracted. [03:03] Dante123-> nope no need to restart [03:04] n8tuser I would log out or disconnect network thinking it would get a new ip and it gets the 1.153 everytime unless I manually set it for something else...but then internet doesnt work [03:04] * lupine_85 notes that these certifications aren't very useful [03:04] Firefox looks all screwy, the links aren't showing as well as some text. any ideas ? an example: http://adam.pcriot.com/images/Firefox-image.png [03:04] Dante123-> clear the contents of the lease file on the 2nd host [03:04] n8tuser my router says it needs a restart in order to work [03:04] most DHCP servers will cache leases [03:04] n8tuser how do I clear the contents [03:04] n8tuser, could you help me? i was having problems with getting java to work, so i could play my games on pogo. well it doesnt tell me that i need java, but it doesnt load all the way [03:04] Stargazer: did you try to start in safe mode, to rule out buggy extensions? [03:05] pw-toxic_: WRT wu-ftpd gui: it's a server. There are many FTP clients, including GUI clients. Most of the file browsers (konqueror, nautilus) support ftp, as do most web browsers. [03:05] karsten: np [03:05] Dante123-> in /var/lib/dhcp3/dhclient.eth0.leases assuming the 2nd also uses ubuntu [03:05] bobbiem-> what is pogo? [03:05] Zsquareplusc, how do i start it in safe mdoe ? [03:05] i have a fresh installed ubuntu, i want to shut down the X server so i can install the Nvidia drivers, but i dont know how to shut down the X server? i forgot the file i had to edit to tell ubuntu to give me console login insted of gui login. somebody help plz [03:06] itson: /etc/init.d/?dm stop [03:06] itson-> you have to go to single user mode [03:06] itson: it can't be done [03:06] * lupine_85 lols [03:06] itson: Why don't you just use System > Administration > Hardware Drivers? [03:06] Stargazer: if you start from command line, there is a switch. try "firefox -h" to find out [03:06] Hi, I am making a script in python to follow changes on a webpage. I have done that part, now I just want to present the information. I figured a small pop up would be the best way, but Zenity does seem to do what I want. any ideias? [03:06] n8tuser, its a game site. www.pogo.com [03:06] karsten: i know - i was looking for a server.. im using fire ftp as client [03:06] drop S???dm from /etc/rc2.d to prevent X from starting at boot-time [03:06] Stargazer: "firefox -safe-mode" [03:07] bobbiem_-> type this java -version and what is the response? [03:07] because /sys > admin > hadrware drivers says everything is up to date, ( i just setup ubuntu linux in Parallels on my mac [03:07] has anyone had any problems with transkode on amarok? [03:07] Night [03:07] itson: You don't install video drivers for your real GPU on a virtual machine [03:07] I have an intel quadcore 64bit system running 8gigs of ram which Ubuntu should i download and install that has compiz-fusion as well [03:08] n8tuser, java version "1.6.0_07" [03:08] Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_07-b06) [03:08] Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 10.0-b23, mixed mode, sharing) [03:08] Jordan_U, how can i get higer rez on my virtual machine? because the options wont let me go pass 1024x768 ( or something like that ) i have a REALLY big monitor and GeForce 8800 GT [03:08] karsten: well i just see that the only thing i have to do is creating user in ubuntu ;) [03:08] mt_mover: how much did it cost u? [03:08] pw-toxic_: There are virtually no, and I would say, there are absolutely no, servers in Linux with GUIs. [03:09] n8tuser [03:09] bamball ? [03:09] karsten: can you tell me if a mount is persistent? i mean...if i type mount ... ... does this still work after reboot? [03:09] pw-toxic_: Ther are some GUI management tools and such which may provide a GUI fornt-end, but that's a differnet kettle of fish. [03:09] the machine [03:09] n8tuser now I have 1.152 as the ip [03:09] Dante123-> is it working now? [03:09] bamball I bought it when it was a little more expensive but I built this system under 1000 [03:09] karsten: why is this a different kettle of fish? ;) [03:09] pw-toxic_: /etc/fstab [03:09] lupine_85: whast this? [03:10] 1000 is US right [03:10] !hi [03:10] Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! [03:10] sorri i am not in US [03:10] correct [03:10] pw-toxic_: where you put persistent mounts [03:10] is there a channel for 8.04 still? [03:10] 8gb ram [03:10] which ubuntu can I get installed under virtual pc 2007? [03:10] did u get 4x 2gb chip [03:10] * lupine_85 -> bed [03:10] ram is dirt cheap right now [03:10] Mountain_Mover: Wrong [03:10] pw-toxic_: If the mount is in /etc/fstab and has the option 'auto', yes, it will persist. If it isn't, or you manually invoked th emount, you'll have to re-mount on reboot. [03:10] Mountain_Mover: Compiz wont work in a virtual machine [03:10] not 4gb modules [03:10] ah gedit fstab ;) [03:10] n8tuser yes, but the change in range did not work for some reason. The range is 1.150 to 1.200 === basso_ is now known as basso-sleep [03:10] pw-toxic_: The front-ends are usually developed independently of the server dev effort itself. [03:11] ah [03:11] Zsquareplusc: http://paste.stirk.org/42204 [03:11] karsten: yes i hope so... [03:11] n8tuser but this time the two computers have a different ip at least [03:11] karsten: the ms-sql server also works without a gui... [03:11] Dante123-> you have to reset your modem/router? [03:11] soreau even if I can up the ram as much as I want? [03:11] karsten: and filezilla ftp server also does [03:11] i have this problem any idea?? [03:11] http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/69084/ [03:11] karsten: thats nothing linux/ubuntu specific [03:11] or is it the generic video drivers that is the show stopper [03:11] Mountain_Mover: Plan on installing linux to a partition if you want to get compiz running [03:11] pw-toxic_: filezilla does or doesn't have a GUI? [03:12] n8tuser I did....and I reconnected with a new ip (1.152) but the range did not change....I will try again [03:12] ok nevertheless, which ubuntu do I want [03:12] pw-toxic_: There's not a lot in app/server space that is Ubuntu-specific. Most packages are pulled from upstream. [03:12] can someone please confirm with me, if you canNOT play the flash file from /tmp when youtube video is loading? [03:12] karsten: filezilla does have a gui if you want to have one, but you dont need one [03:12] Mountain_Mover: the video drivers don't support texture from pixmap (in a virtual machine) which is indeed a show stopper [03:12] for a quadcore intel based [03:12] pw-toxic_: ... ubuntu is the package management and configuration. [03:12] Stargazer: hm. so the display is still crippled? maybe some installation problem then. and did you try the #firefox channel? [03:12] pw-toxic_: OK === lipsin_ is now known as lipsin [03:12] n8tuser thanks for help so far. I will try to fix later.....kids and wife get mad when i reset router [03:12] ! install [03:12] ;-) [03:12] karsten: what do i have to type into fstab? the same like mount without "mount" ? [03:12] Ubuntu can be installed in a lot of ways. Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation for documentation. Problems during install? See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CommonProblemsInstall. Don't want to use a CD? Try http://tinyurl.com/3exghs - See also !automate [03:12] bobbiem_-> can you put in pastebin the contents of /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/ dir ? [03:12] Zsquareplusc, i didn't know there was such a channel. [03:13] pw-toxic_: What are you trying to do? [03:13] i just dont know what to do with and ;) [03:13] Dante123-> no worries, at least you got your pc working [03:13] Im looking at intrepid ibex is that the wrong distro? [03:13] Hello? [03:13] Mountain_Mover: you can use either the 32bit or the 64bit cd [03:13] i want to mount my 1TB NTFS disc into my ftp home folder ;) [03:13] ok but the 64bit says AMD64 was just curious [03:13] so that i can access it via ftp [03:13] In ubuntu 8.04 can you create a launcher that executes two commands? [03:13] how do I get an install of server to auto mount a USB drive? [03:13] hey guys can i get some help with ubuntu? i just installed it like 2 days ago and after i installed Wine my sound wont work [03:13] ziroday: isn't the 32bit version with PAE disabled [03:13] Stargazer: there is even a #ubuntu-mozillateam, maybe they care about this too? [03:13] by default [03:14] Mountain_Mover: both are fine, however you may have some issues with the 64bit and some applications [03:14] pw-toxic_: ntfs-3g 0 0 [03:14] mattb0001-> why dont you try it? [03:14] bamball: eh? [03:14] In ubuntu 8.04 can you create a launcher that executes two commands? here what I have: sudo /etc/init.d/proftpd start && /etc/init.d/ssh start [03:14] it won't work [03:14] pw-toxic_: I don't know all the ntfs-3g options, there are some you may want to look at. [03:14] anyone? auto mount on a USB drive? [03:14] !sound > evilspawn4 [03:14] evilspawn4, please see my private message [03:14] mattb0001: replace the && with a ; [03:14] is anyone else having problems with evolution in 8.10 ??? [03:14] hardy versus intrepid? [03:14] karsten: where do you know the "ntfs-3g" thing? [03:14] ziroday: i think PAE is disable on 32bit kernel by default.. so can only address 4gb? [03:14] bamball: yes thats correct [03:15] he should go for 64bit if he has 8gb ram [03:15] pw-toxic_: ntfs-3g is the new NTFS driver. *MUCH* better than earlier versions. Full read-write support. I may break all your toys though. [03:15] n8tuser, it says its a directory [03:15] n8tuser, i am not sure what pastebin is [03:15] unless want to recompile the kernel [03:15] pw-toxic_: Microsoft doesn't document NTFS, so implementation is a guess. [03:15] Mountain_Mover: hardy is more stable whilst intrepid has newer stuff. You should be aware that 32bit can only handle up tp 3GB of RAM [03:15] !pastebin | bobbiem_ [03:15] bobbiem_: pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic) [03:15] ty [03:15] something is wrong with my Synaptic. I can search through command line just fine for packages but not with Synaptic. [03:15] #filezbomber into home [03:15] /dev/sda1 /home/pw-toxic/filez ntfs-3g 0 0 [03:15] so i add this into fstab === NULL40 is now known as zeropointo [03:15] how easy is it to get Ubuntu to communicate with windows based file system I want to use the ubuntu as a file server a good idea or no? [03:16] Mountain_Mover: you can use samba to do that, it is reasonably easy [03:16] pw-toxic_: 'auto' or 'noauto' as a minimum for options (before '0 0'). [03:16] !samba | Mountain_Mover [03:16] Mountain_Mover: Samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments.

Also see https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/212098 [03:16] zibri im glad samba has come a long way [03:16] does samba use fat32 or does it use ntfs? [03:16] samba is network file system protocol [03:17] Mountain_Mover: it uses the linux filesystem, you will probably want ext3 [03:17] itson: http://www.simplehelp.net/2008/05/29/how-to-increase-the-screen-resolutions-available-to-ubuntu-804-hardy-heron-while-running-in-parallels-desktop/ Might be helpfull [03:17] Nope it won't work [03:17] Mountain_Mover: it is a network protocol implementation, that has nothing to do with disk formats [03:17] <[nr]ManjyomeThun> Stop downloading Ubuntu! It's based off of Lunix! A dangerous hacking program written by Linyos Torovoltos! He wrote it for the soviets before Russia lost the cold war! It's based off of a program written by Microsoft for the US Government. [03:17] what should I be using to start proftpd and ssh server? [03:17] n8tuser, i dont understand.. what do i do? [03:17] * karsten finally tracks down "Samba-3 by Example" too late for Xpistos [03:17] http://us1.samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba3-ByExample/ [03:17] ok so I can store any kind of file on Ubuntu and still access it from other OS's [03:17] how do i use terminal server client to connect to my desktop???

[03:18] Mountain_Mover: correct, that is what samba allows you to do [03:18] karsten: how can i test if this is correct [03:18] Mountain_Mover: maybe karsten 's link above is good for oyu too :-) [03:18] khaotik: you need to enable vnc [03:18] pw-toxic_: Try to mount it. Either it will work or it won't. [03:18] bobbiem_-> ls -la /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/ then put in pastebin [03:18] ahh found out there is a bug in synaptic in Intrepid..found a fix [03:18] I thot samba only allows access windows shares? [03:18] should I use hardy or intrepid ibex? [03:18] under add remove? or can i do that from terminal? [03:18] hardy =) [03:19] karsten: i want to try the code i have just written [03:19] don't u need to run nfs server for sharing ext3 [03:19] bamball: no, linux, mac os x and windows can all access samba shares [03:19] karsten: the mount i have typed into the terminal worked..

[03:19] khaotik: no, go to System > Preferences > Remote Desktop [03:19] Mountain_Mover: yep [03:19] pw-toxic_: Cool. [03:20] ziroday documentation still the same for samba in that you have to read 50 pages? [03:20] lol [03:20] pw-toxic_: I'm outta here. Gotta be social. [03:20] I need some help with keyboard config, post 8.10 upgrade. [03:20] hey [03:20] anyone familiar with setting up an ati radeon graphics card? [03:20] Mountain_Mover: not so much, you should look at those links I gave you before [03:20] anonident: which card? [03:20] ok will do [03:21] thanks [03:21] can anybody help me to confg my modem on my server 8.04 i am using Agere Systems LT WinModem [03:21] ati radeon 3450 [03:21] I can't figure out where the actual config is being stored. It knows to use dvorak, but didn't keep my setting to have standard Qwerty available by hotkey. [03:21] Mountain_Mover: Just grab a live cd here, burn it, and boot live to test it out: http://releases.ubuntu.com/7.10/ [03:21] works 50/50 [03:21] it seems open-sshd has been removed from the synaptic package explorer...?? [03:21] n8tuser, ok i did it, and put it in pastebin, no whwar? [03:21] karsten: have fun and thx [03:21] anonident: are you using hardy or intrepid? [03:21] half the time it sends my computer to a black screen [03:21] do I want the server install then? [03:21] 8.4 I think [03:21] bobbiem_-> whats the link so i can see it too [03:21] to use samba? [03:22] hardy [03:22] bamball: It's always been called openssh-server [03:22] Mountain_Mover: either will work fine. but if the computer is just going to be a server then perhaps the server install is best [03:22] Jordan_U : oops [03:22] anonident: okay, there are no drivers currently for your card in hardy, you can use envyng to get them however [03:22] it appears the server doesnt install graphic stuff :( oh well... i'll figure it out [03:22] n8tuser, http://paste.ubuntu.com/69086/ [03:22] I dont need apache, php, mysql and all that [03:23] what is envyng? [03:23] Jordan_U: it's really gone. [03:23] Mountain_Mover: you can remove the afterwards, or you can use the minimal install iso [03:23] are there drivers for my card in a different release? [03:23] Jordan_U: not appearing on my 8.10 default install [03:23] and thanks for your help ziro, I really appreciate it [03:23] I am going to go for the desktop [03:23] anonident: its a package in the repos which get drivers from ati.com. If you upgrade to intrepid the drivers are already there for you [03:24] Jordan_U: apt-get worked tho [03:24] test it on virtual pc first then make my way to installing it on the file server [03:24] bamball: It's only installed by default in ubuntu server [03:24] can I upgrade through update manager? [03:24] bobbiem_-> its seems the plugin is in the correct spot [03:24] hmmm [03:24] anonident: yes [03:24] amarok is auto-renaming some songs [03:24] it's wierd [03:24] its not showing up when I run it [03:24] Jordan_U: shouldn't it appear in the synaptic ? "ssh" was the keyword i used [03:25] my webcam in cheese is very slowly, but i check the properties un gstreamer and i checjked and there is really normal i don't identify why is the problem y use the console to check any problem but the console is clear [03:25] !upgrade | anonident [03:25] anonident: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes [03:25] bamball: It should, don't know why it didn't for you [03:25] n8tuser, hmmm what does "applet game death"? [03:25] how do i access an windows shared resource ? [03:26] has anyone encountered that problem? it keeps renaming the song to VA - Outro [03:26] Jordan_U: mine was a fresh install of 8.10 x64 [03:26] leohartx: you can use the file manager [03:26] leohartx: places->network menu? [03:26] bobbiem_-> i dont know...whats the url you want to visit? [03:26] Jordan_U: this morning [03:26] it's all the songs from the same cd [03:26] so does the machine i am trying to connect to have to be connected to a server i take it? [03:26] zsquareplusc, nothing appear [03:27] n8tuser, http://www.pogo.com/games/poppit [03:27] not showing the upgrade to 8.10 by default is a mistake in my opinion [03:27] fwiw [03:28] leohartx: windoze network is somtimes slow (if you dont have a wins server). so you might need to try serveral times (refresh). i assume you want to acces an other networked computer? [03:28] bobbiem_-> it works for me [03:28] anonident: Some users don't want to upgrade every 6 months, and I often set up machines for other people with an LTS version so they can go years without a major upgrade that they probably don't want / nee [03:28] d [03:29] zsquareplusc, i managed it, thankyou [03:29] n8tuser, yes that is what someone else told me, it works for them. i keep getting applet game death [03:29] leohartx: did it show up now, or did you find an other way? [03:29] any program to control webcam? [03:29] ferfactor: Control in what way? [03:30] please someone help me with virtual machine running ubuntu. I cant seem to increase its rez, ( running Parallels Desktop on my mac ) i have Geforce 8800 card. [03:30] Jordan_U, like cheese [03:30] ferfactor: You can use your webcam with cheese or ekiga [03:30] Jordan_U, my webcam with cheese is really slow... [03:30] zsquareplusc, i used "connect to server" [03:30] leohartx: ah .-) [03:30] :-) [03:30] yeah, but it seems like you should give them the choice [03:30] I assume most people would just do the update [03:31] takes a few mins and you get all the latest features [03:31] bobbiem_-> you seem to be missing lots of plugins in your /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/ [03:31] anonident: you can vote, or create the idea on brainstorm.ubuntu.com [03:31] Jordan_U, any idea her??? http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/69088/ [03:31] well I'll probably be back after I finish this [03:31] there are a few other problems I have had [03:31] thanks for your help ziro and everyone else [03:32] n8tuser, so what do i have to do.

I'd try hitting up google if I were you [03:53] <_cb> Ubottu am using xchat and new at it. How do I see your private message? [03:53] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [03:54] _cb: it should have opened a new tab [03:54] hmmm [03:54] _cb, you should have another window in the list to the left [03:54] _cb: ubottu is just a bot. talk to us instead :-) [03:54] or tab, I use tabs myself [03:54] is ubuntu safe from viruses and hack attacks? [03:54] bobbiem_-> your plugins dir should be something like http://paste.ubuntu.com/69089/ [03:54] "hack attacks" [03:54] lol [03:54] cllaudyu, mostly [03:54] oh so virtualbox is a music app? [03:54] n8tuser, I'm sorry but that's just plain wrong [03:54] !virus | cllaudyu [03:54] cllaudyu: A/V software is available, however read this to understand why Linux does not have a virus problem: http://librenix.com/?inode=21 [03:55] Mountain_Mover, no, it's a way to run an os inside another. For example, I sometimes boot up vista inside of ubuntu to test web pages [03:55] csilk-> what is plain wrong with it? [03:55] n8tuser, my plugins folder has 4 files and I have no problems what so ever. You obviously consume more media than I but in no way is your plugins folder the "norm" [03:55] cool so its the same as virtual pc for win [03:55] csilk-> it may not be a norm, but certainly not plain wrong! [03:55] but its for linux instead [03:56] Mountain_Mover: thats correct [03:56] Mountain_Mover, for windows and sun as well [03:56] nifty [03:56] anyone here a grub pro? the auto grub config didnt work for me (trying to boot windows on a diff hdd) and ive tried every config that makes sense with no luck [03:56] n8tuser, > http://paste.ubuntu.com/69090/ [03:57] I built a patched version of mplayer from the latest Ubuntu source package and now update-manager constantly tries to update it to the *same* version from the repos, I want new updates to install but not the same package version ( without the patch ) [03:57] n8tuser, By "plain wrong" I meant you telling him that "your plugins dir should be something like". Is plain wrong [03:57] damn it...i keep getting this error when i do ./configure for transkode: configure: error: C++ preprocessor "/lib/cpp" fails sanity check [03:57] but i already have gcc and g++ [03:57] He only has the java plugin because the only type of media he has viewed that requires a plugin, perfectly normal [03:57] <_cb> !automate [03:57] Ways to automate installation of Ubuntu on multiple machines are described at https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/installation-guide/i386/automatic-install.html - See also !cloning [03:57] csilk-> i dont know, but something like is not same as exactly the same to me [03:58] *is java [03:58] <_cb> !cloning [03:58] To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « dpkg --get-selections > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo dpkg --set-selections < my-packages && apt-get dselect-upgrade » - See also !automate [03:58] i think that site requires flashplugin.so [03:58] tca you probably need to map the drives back and forth: http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/manual/html_node/DOS_002fWindows.html [03:59] n8tuser, not sure if I agree, anyway, not the point, I gave him a workaround to the issue but he didn't even look at it, it seems to take him a long time to reply to anything [03:59] ive tried nickrud [03:59] hola [04:00] alguien me puede ayudar [04:00] !es | novato [04:00] novato: En la mayoría de canales Ubuntu se comunica en inglés. Para ayuda en Español, por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es o #kubuntu-es. [04:00] tca, ah, well that's worked for me, but I don't have mixed sata and pata drives. If that's your case, I'm not familiar with how it's done. You might try #grub [04:00] ok [04:00] como le ago [04:00] ya i do [04:00] :/ [04:00] hi everyone [04:00] anyone?

[04:06] gavagai, sudo apt-get update then try again [04:06] thanks [04:06] gavagai, also it can take a minute or so to start [04:06] In this tutorial, I don't quite understand it, and I'm quite new to Ubuntu, so forgive me. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=1773624 at Step 4, I don't understand what I'm supposed to be adding. [04:06] _cb, I had to do that once. I ended up using a remote imap store to dump the email to, then import into evolution. A pain, and slow, but it got the job done [04:07] I suppose since I am installing ubuntu via virtual pc I can use daemon tools to load the iso [04:07] god...all the shit i've installed to get ONE app working [04:07] lol...

But, there is no sound (as is a known issue with this card), when i ran "sox -r 48000 -w -c 2 -t ossdsp /dev/dsp1 -t alsa default" as many sites have said to do, sox tells me the ossdsp is not a reconized file type... what can i do to get around this? [04:08] its like building a shed instead of buying one [04:08] you can sit back and look at it [04:08] lets see if it works this time [04:08] _cb: evolution is the same on any distribution. Further, outlook using proprietary formats is a Microsoft shortcoming, not one with evolution. [04:08] _cb, invest the money to have a remote email store in imap. Then you won't ever have to worry about moving mail from one client to another. The best $10 a month I spend [04:08] gavagai, did it work?

[04:10] RHorse, gmail as an imap store, so I can use the web client or any email client I want on the same data? No procmail that way [04:10] egoflux: I've already asked you to watch the language. [04:10] tritium: crap is a bad word? [04:11] elementary kids use that word... [04:11] egoflux, think disney g rated, and you'll never go wrong [04:11] egoflux: please, keep it family-friendly.

[04:12] egoflux: you were asked nicely [04:12] <_cb> horatio, almost.

The free memory is free + cached. The problem may be related to CPU use. Try using top. Read about it more at http://lifehacker.com/399468/top-10-command-line-tools and the man page (type 'man top' in a terminal) [04:43] waan: reinstall would result to a totally reformating again right? [04:43] ziroday: thanks upgrading and rebooting [04:44] joljam: Top will let you see the processes running on your machine, and how much memory/CPU they're using. Using it, you can identify processes that are taking up a lot of resources. If you can't figure out what a process is by its name, try googling the name of the process.

[05:16] murlidhar, ok [05:16] :) [05:16] murlidhar, is there any way to increase the number of available res`s that its allowing [05:17] qkall: you might want to ask in #ubuntu-us or #ubuntu-us- as they will most likely know what settings are needed by the local telco [05:17] moDumass: afaik no . [05:17] murlidhar, this was a surprise ubuntu mashup, no changes, jsut decided to stop showing 1440x900 [05:17] hmm [05:17] ziroday: i went there first they tend to not respond... but i [05:17] moDumass: what is the resolution your monitor can support to [05:17] 'll [05:17] peep them again [05:18] moDumass: one sec [05:18] qkall: sorry thats all I've got [05:18] im wikipediaing it [05:18] good evening fellas [05:18] how goes the world of ubuntu users 2night [05:18] ziroday: no don [05:18] hi all - i'm having a problem with the ati binary driver and dual-screens [05:18] t worry you've helped alot [05:19] Does anyone else get tons of i/o errors on sr0 when booting from any of the ubuntu installs discs? I got that problem from two separate systems tonight. [05:19] moDumass: i forgot the command . do you use gnome ? then try using the display properties [05:19] i should mention they were 8.10 [05:20] basically, it works except that the smaller monitor has space that is cut off on the side [05:20] you can see this space, but only when zoomed out in expo, or in the pager which shows the extra space [05:20] anyone know how to install multible copies of Wine for multiboxing games? i attempted my own way, to no avail [05:20] ubunaut: proftp works [05:20] murlidhar, im in gnome, and display properties only shows 640x and 320x xorg.conf still has the 1440x in it [05:20] DaveCave: you mean similar to how crossover has their "bottles"? [05:21] How to play .rmvb files? There is no video. :( [05:21] ziroday: define these "bottles" i refuse to pay for crossover [05:21] moDumass: maybe the driver has changed . look for another driver from it . [05:21] kazim59: do you have the real player codecs installed? [05:21] an updated nvidia driver? [05:21] ziroday: yes. Installed all codecs from mplayer website. drvc.so is supposedly the realvid codec. [05:21] DaveCave: ah, they're basically different version of windows, as some programs run better on different versions [05:21] !codecs | kazim59 [05:21] kazim59: For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/common-tasks-chap.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats [05:21] murlidhar, il update the driver ans see if that makes a change [05:22] i need a barcode generator program with use gtk lib [05:22] moDumass: k [05:22] what is program name ? [05:22] ziroday: i dont need different versions of the OS, i just need multible Wine "windows" open for playing 2 games at once, i was running 2 WOW's in the same Wine, and spanning across 2 screens, kinda works, but not the best [05:22] Anyone know anything about a network manager patch? [05:22] i want to actually run Wine Twice [05:22] pegal_linux: google it please . i am not sure . [05:23] ziroday: the problem is surprising, because mplayer says "no such file /usr/lib/codecs/drvc.so"... while the file exists there with good permissions. [05:23] DaveCave: ah, well no clue about that. Tried asking in #winehq? [05:23] why would I get an "Unable to connect" error trying to connect to a Terminal Server Gateway using the Terminal Server Client in Ubuntu? [05:23] murlidhar, i have so tired gooling for search this topic [05:23] kazim59: you tried using vlc? [05:23] not found solution [05:24] i just get kde base program, kbarcode [05:24] * cllaudyu am revenit! [05:24] ziroday: yes, fails to play video [05:24] pegal_linux, have you tried looking on freshmeat.net ? [05:24] pegal_linux: you could use it [05:24] Is there a channel where I could find information on how to encode ripped dvds to dvd format [05:24] ok [05:25] how do i connect to #winehq? [05:25] After_Math, google is good i'd check out k9copy [05:25] said no such channel [05:25] I dont know what the heck Im doing except maybe trashing a perfectly used computer!!! [05:26] DaveCave, /join #winehq [05:26] tryed [05:26] Hi - how do I change an entry in the appl. menu so that the specific appl. will be started with a customized start command?? [05:27] ohhh its caps sensitive lol wow im smart [05:27] right-clicking on the menu-entry for the appl. does not seem to give me this option? [05:27] DaveCave, huh weird that it is case sensitive.. [05:28] ok - sorry folks - just found it "edit menus" .. c u [05:28] Hurray I got compiz on XFCE. [05:28] Now there is nothing I can miss from Gnome jejeje. [05:29] ok, im sort of going to be screwed if i reboot right now. i was cleaning up from a custom kernel i made and typo'd and deleted all kernels including the currently running kernel, and initrd. anybody know how i can get those back easily ? [05:29] why everybody got quiet so suddenly? [05:30] esac, try synaptic. [05:30] esac, sudo aptitude install linux-image linux-image-$(uname -r) [05:31] well except that it is already installed. so i guess ill have to remove it first [05:31] esac, why remove it at all? [05:31] I think you will install linux-firmware [05:31] eh? [05:31] linux-headers-$(uname-r) [05:32] that's not necessary [05:32] Since I have upgraded to Ubuntu 8.10 my laptop doesn't shutdown, I get no error messages the GUI just gets stuck at the part where the progress bar empties as the computer shuts down. I have to manually power it off. If I press ctrl-alt-f1, I get the login prompt but my keypresses are not registered in that 'stuck' state. If i then, press ctrl-alt-f7 I don't see any message with 'warning' or 'error' next to it. [05:33] unop: installing linux-image works, but linux-image-`uname -r` reports that it is already installed [05:33] I am using an Acer Aspire One with an Atheros chipset under Ubuntu Ibex 32bit. Network mangaer is telling me (i think) that I have a bad password to my wireless. [05:33] unop: either way, it is not recreating the kernel image in /boot [05:33] linux-headers-$(uname-r)-generic [05:33] linux-headers-generic [05:33] linux-image-$(uname-r) [05:33] linux-image-$(uname-r)-generic [05:33] linux-image-generic [05:33] faryshta: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [05:33] and that is the all kernel. [05:33] ziroday: it worked... how surprising! [05:33] has anyone noticed that with frequency scaling set to "ondemand" there is considerable lag in stepping up the CPU during high loads. Is there a way to adjust sensitivity? [05:33] kazim59: great! [05:34] can someone help me figure out why my windows are drawing so slowly after upgrading to intrepid? [05:34] faryshta, use a pastebin if you want to paste multiple lines [05:34] If I hit show password it has random junk in there and not my wpa personal password, is this right or am i getting a confliction with seahorse [05:34] I didn't copy paste. I am reading my synaptic right now unop, FloodBot1 [05:34] thank's, i found barcode generator with gtk lib [05:34] esac, sudo dpkg-reconfigure -plow linux-image linux-image-$(uname -r) [05:35] faryshta, well, whatever you did caused multiple lines to be posted into the room - try and not do that [05:35] unop: oh, i just did sudo aptitude reinstall linux-image-`uname -r` .. seeing if that works now [05:35] ; [05:35] yep worked great :) [05:35] 'jklkml [05:35] unop, I was naming the packages which make the kernel in order to help esac, [05:35] ideaviet89: ? [05:36] well. I really like the new nvidia x config app with ubuntu. twinview was stoopid easy to setup. yeay nvidia. [05:36] faryshta, ok, that's understood - but don't paste that info into the room - use a private message or a pastebin instead. [05:37] I didn't paste it, I was reading it and writting it. [05:37] maxxist, you can still use it: sudo aptitude install nvidia-settings [05:37] ohh god [05:37] mindframe: are you using compiz and what graphics card? [05:37] running 8.10 and usb memory sticks are not mounting also when i put CD in they no longer pick up as well. Think its related to a bad fstab file. Can anybody help http://paste.ubuntu.com/69103/ [05:37] !enter | faryshta [05:37] faryshta: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [05:37] murlidhar, it seems im not running nvidia x server [05:37] tedium use what? its all working now [05:38] I was baned again? why? [05:38] maxxist, oh I thought you missed the app [05:38] murlidhar, it says to start it then restart x, which i did but it still says im not running it [05:38] unop: could you help moDumass ? [05:38] tedium nope just expressing how happy i was. hehe [05:38] faryshta, because you were flooding quite unnecessarily [05:38] moDumass: please explain your problem tu unop [05:39] unop, I always found it interesting how the bot will private message the people those messages and yet everyone decides to do it publically so as to admonish the person and also make us read it as well.. [05:39] hello all dose anyone know about an xvod decoder for ubuntu? [05:40] unop, hi, my desktop froze last night, mouse still moving but nothing clickable or reactive, so i restarted and now my only option is 640x480 [05:40] BrokenPeace: what do you want to do? [05:40] unop, xorg.conf still has 1440x900 [05:40] question about ubuntu-restricted-extras on 64bit. it seems to be installing lots of 32bit stuff too. does this mean I should have no problem running 32bit apps too?? [05:40] there's a movie that says I need the driver to view it [05:41] unop, i was given the option to reconfigure my display at start up and i selected generic 1440x900 lcd, but it still only lets me choose 640x480 [05:41] !codecs | BrokenPeace [05:41] BrokenPeace: For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/common-tasks-chap.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats [05:41] moDumass, i take it you are have nvidia hardware? did it ever work properly? === DouglasK_ is now known as DouglasK [05:41] unop, it did, for the past 4 years [05:41] can any one help [05:41] file browser freezes................any help? [05:41] moDumass, ok, what changed? what did you do just prior to this happening? [05:41] ronhalfdanr: have you tried other file browsers? [05:41] onop, the strange thing is i still have compiz fusion running [05:41] like what ones ziroday? [05:42] ronhalfdanr: roxfiler, pcmanfm, thunar [05:42] unop, i was surfing the net, no system update, just pressed stumble and realised i couldnt click the button [05:42] moDumass-> what does xdpyinfo tells you for screen#0 ? [05:42] ronhalfdanr: pcmanfm is pretty good [05:42] do those replace the default one in ubuntu ziroday? [05:42] ronhalfdanr: yes they can [05:42] let me try one [05:42] synaptic? [05:42] ronhalfdanr: also can you navigate and view the folders with cd and ls [05:43] ronhalfdanr: yes they are in the repos [05:43] onop, im pastebinning it [05:43] huh ziroday? cd? [05:43] ronhalfdanr: open up a terminal, type cd press enter and type in ls [05:44] moDumass, you might want to review your /var/log/Xorg.0.log too - it is usually an indicator to misconfiguration, unsupported options, etc [05:44] onop, http://pastebin.com/da045002 [05:44] yeah I can do that ziroday but it isn't a long term option [05:44] ronhalfdanr: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/nonautilusplease [05:44] ronhalfdanr: was just checking something, have you looked at alternatve file managers? [05:45] ronhalfdanr: the default fine manager can be replaced by update-alternatives command [05:45] just looking now ziroday, first I'v eheard of them [05:45] am not sure how can it exactly be done though . anyone ? [05:45] pcmanfm orpcmanfm-nohal?

[05:47] and also dont have compiz fusion anymore [05:47] arghh [05:48] thanks ziroday [05:48] hi my sourcelist got saved over by mistake and its blank can someone show me a good completed source list? [05:48] so i can copy across plz [05:48] ronhalfdanr: no problem, however it is very odd that nautilus does that.

[05:53] ronhalfdanr: does anything get outputted in the terminal? [05:53] moDumass, ok, how about warnings then? they begin with (WW) [05:53] ziroday: nautilus freezes as soon as I try to open those folders (root, ron, home) [05:53] that's through terminal or alt-f2 or the button on the toolbar of the desktop [05:54] ronhalfdanr: okay, but you opened nautilus through the terminal right? [05:54] I have problems with encryption. [05:54] yes ziroday [05:54] ronhalfdanr: okay, and when you navigated to those folders and nautilus freezes up is anything outputed to the terminal? [05:54] no ziroday [05:54] my Private folder does not show on my desktop anymore, it's supposed to be encrypted. I am not sure if it is anymore. It does show normally in my Home folder (directory) though. [05:54] ronhalfdanr: hmm okay [05:54] hello? [05:54] should I re-install encryption? [05:55] system montior does show one core goes to 100% usage and the process related to it is xorg [05:55] ronhalfdanr: try running nautilus --check [05:55] Hey people, i am having a lot of issues after upgrading to intrepid..i am unable to work on the new kernel i got after upgrading...i still have to work on the old one 2.6.24-19 the problem with the new one is that there is no ethernet interface...so i am unable to connect to internet..this is what happened when i was using hardy and updated to the new kernel..2.6.24-21....that's why i am...

[06:23] i need a script to remind me every monday [06:24] hi, i'm on ubuntu 8.04 (so it has gnome 2.22.3) and at the moment no plans of moving to 8.10. but still want to use evolution mail 2.24.1 is it safe to compile and install it from source? [06:24] I have just installed 8.10 I am getting a black screen after log on. Any one help with this please?? [06:25] Any ideas why Rhythmbox might be able to transfer files to but not from a Creative ZEN? [06:25] if I have an ubuntu inside a virtual machine,is it desirable to install the virtual kernel and use that instead ? [06:25] zcat[1]: you at the keys zcat? [06:26] yes [06:26] new3: if you want speed increases then yes, you should use JeOS which is designed as a virtual appliance [06:26] ziroday: cool thanks [06:26] john, I assume? [06:26] are there known issues with pulseaudio in 8.10? [06:26] DigitalFiz: why, whats wrong? [06:27] zcat[1]: Please have a look at my query re 8.10 [06:27] i have to keep restarting the pulseaudio deamon [06:27] ziroday, atheros 5007 or something like that [06:27] maybe ar5007 [06:27] corinth: did you dry the atheros driver? [06:27] before 8.10 i had no issues [06:27] joot: hmmmm.. this is why I decided to stay with 8.04 for a while ;) [06:27] The included one? Yeah, doesn't pick anything up. [06:27] DigitalFiz: why do you have to restart it? [06:27] bug reported ziroday, thanks for the help! [06:27] corinth: nope, theres another one in the backports, one sec [06:27] ziroday, programs cant connect to it [06:28] joot: I assume the same amchine was ok with hardy? [06:28] zcat[1]: So it is a known problem?? [06:28] zcat[1]: yes and installed several puppy as a trial before 8.10 mess [06:28] !sound | DigitalFiz did you try the things in here? [06:28] DigitalFiz did you try the things in here?: 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 [06:28] joot: not particularly .. just that ubuntu releases usually have a few hairs and I decided I might wait a bit. I just downloaded 8.10 today and was going to hev a play with it soon [06:28] ziroday, sound stops working and when i do tests from system -> preferences -> sound it says it cant connect [06:29] joot: what video card does the machine have? [06:29] corinth: read http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/releasenotes/810#Atheros%20ath5k%20wireless%20driver%20not%20enabled%20by%20default [06:29] DigitalFiz: are you a member of the pulseaudio groups? [06:30] zcat[1]: yummmy intel shared memory [06:30] ziroday, nope :( [06:30] Couple of quick questions, 1) could I get some help with transferring files from my creative ZEN (transferring to works fine), and 2) is there any fix for the boot splash under 8.10 yet? [06:30] joot: hmmmm.. so it's probably trying to start compiz already. You say black screen only after you log in? [06:30] DigitalFiz: well could you add yourself and logout and in :) [06:30] ziroday, I'll try that, thanks. Get back to you soon. [06:31] whats a good virus protecter for ubuntu? [06:31] corinth: make sure you remove the ndiswrapper drivers first and do a restart [06:31] !virus | droopsta915 [06:31] droopsta915: A/V software is available, however read this to understand why Linux does not have a virus problem: http://librenix.com/?inode=21 [06:31] Just did that. [06:31] ziroday, oh i thought you ment like the mailing list group or something hehe [06:31] DigitalFiz: read the groups section in https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PulseAudio [06:31] zcat[1]: yes get the login signe then intro music then black screen with a little hd activety then freeze [06:31] how do I get my firewall working? [06:31] how can I start a program that goes into full screen automatically into a windowed version? [06:32] droopsta915: as in how to configure it? [06:32] yes [06:32] droopsta915: well you don't really need one but if you insist [06:32] zcat[1]: is there a no 3d boot option?? [06:32] i know i dont get virus, but i want to be secure in every way. [06:33] joot: unfortunately I have no idea ... I'd guess it has something to do with compiz and someone here might know what to do about it [06:33] ziroday: u dont protect your systen at all? [06:33] droopsta915: type in man ufw to learn how to configure it, you might also want to look at !firewall [06:33] zcat[1]: OK I will wait a while and repeat the q... [06:33] droopsta915: I have no firewall or antivirus if thats what you mean [06:34] ok, i wont use it eather [06:34] to install ubuntu on a recent intel pc, should I chosse amd64 or intel 32 ? [06:35] nat2610: try amd64, if it tells you it's not then i386 will work [06:35] thks [06:35] most recent machines are 64 tho [06:36] how can I start a program that goes into full screen automatically into a windowed version? [06:36] I think they call it ia64 now.. and isn't the only one with a 64 bit chip any more [06:36] *AMD [06:37] i8860054_: depends on the program, generally there will be a config option to run in a window [06:37] whats the benefits in linux using 64 bit for programming? [06:37] if i use 64bit, then use virtual box should it run XP w/o problems? [06:38] sparrow-jack: bragging rights. I don't think gcc optimises that well for it so there's not that much of a performance difference. You can address more ram and stuff though [06:38] sparrow-jack I am using 64bit ubuntu and virtualbox with windoze under it. np [06:38] sparrow-jack: same here, no issues at all [06:38] Couple of quick questions, 1) could I get some help with transferring files from my creative ZEN (transferring to works fine), and 2) is there any fix for the boot splash under 8.10 yet? [06:39] ziroday, Is it the 5xxx Atheros one? [06:39] sparrow-jack I suggest if you install 64 bit ubuntu. install ubuntu-restricted-extras. it will install 32 bit libraries as well. this might be very beneficial if you are programming. I am not a programmer though, just a guess. [06:39] so if ur rig only limits 2GIG of RAM, 64bit wont be any, like... advantage? [06:40] sparrow-jack i am told no advantage. but i find it runs a little faster. [06:40] does anyone know of any good alternatives to WINE? [06:40] corinth: sorry? === Neurologic is now known as Neuron [06:40] nemnoch: Why do you need an alternative? [06:41] hi, where can I ask questions about games/consoles? === Neuron is now known as NeuroSyn [06:41] nemnoch crossover. but its built on wine [06:41] trying to get some windows programs to run in 8.04 [06:41] Nevermind ziroday, it says "This driver is activated but not currently in use" [06:41] hmmm...I will check crossover out...I just fear that some of the same problems will occur... [06:41] hello [06:41] corinth: after installing the package? [06:41] nemnoch: You missed free-crossover-day .. [06:42] nemnoch which apps you having problems with [06:42] nemnoch: you can virtualise windows for non graphic intensive apps [06:42] nemnoch: which problem is that? [06:42] ziroday, After installing and rebooting. Before the install, that driver wasn't here. [06:42] I just started using Ubuntu about 3 days go :P [06:42] true... [06:42] I am pretty vmware-savy [06:42] thanks.. [06:42] corinth: so, you have the driver now but it still doesn't work? [06:43] nemnoch vmware is good. but i am in loves with virtualbox lately. [06:43] anyone in here own a macbook pro & run ubuntu on it? [06:43] flannel: trying to use GURPS GCA4 and the files punt out streams of errors... [06:43] Can anyone help me get Ubuntu installed on a Mac Mini? I'm having problem after problem over here... [06:43] ziroday, Yeah, it says that it's activated, but not currently in use. === nicholas_ is now known as Tetracomm [06:43] Noxilentlcus I am running ubuntu under virtualbox for osx... [06:43] how do i get my VLC to play music while im playing WOW? cause i changed to the OSS or w/e codec in wine and it still not workin [06:44] corinth: bah, what card again? [06:44] i see i have a native partition for it maxxist i like the speed better and I don't feel like buying Leopard and I don't own a dual layer dvd burner to priate it [06:44] nemnoch: Have you tried simply resolving the errors? Have you checked winehq's compatability DB? (also, #winehq can help a bunch) [06:44] Noxilentlcus hehe external HD? you can pirate it that way too. [06:44] spolvid: is it an intel mac? [06:44] my ubuntu intrepid won't save audio settings [06:45] any help ? [06:45] IndyGunFreak: Yeah. [06:45] Noxilentlcus or you can use an old ipod to install leopard. [06:45] i have a session in 15 minutes and my mic won't work [06:45] don't have one maxxist and don't want to spend the money but thanks for the offer [06:45] yeah i was on the wine compatability DB yesterday...I will have to sift through it some more... [06:45] ziroday, atheros 5000 [06:45] corinth: one sec [06:45] offer/idea === Noxilent1cus is now known as Noxilenticus [06:45] spolvid: well, whats it doing... [06:45] corinth: have you tried madwifi? [06:45] corinth: can you pastebin lspci please [06:45] Noxilentlcus i tried a couple of times to run ubuntu on my mbp but i didnt like the way the trackpad felt. and two finger clicks didnt work. [06:46] Have you had any problems with the network manager in vitual box for your ubuntu distro maxxist ? [06:46] IndyGunFreak, No, how do I enable that? [06:46] flannel: thanks for the info i will check it out. [06:46] ziroday, you still here? sorry for delayed response. compiz is disabled(it wont even let me enable it), nvidia 8600 GTS [06:46] ziroday, Nope, I can't. The laptop doesn't have internet, I'm on my desktop. [06:46] yeah the trackpad doesn't work so hot on different OS's for the macbook pro [06:46] mindframe: have you installed the graphics drivers? [06:46] yes [06:46] Noxilentlcus no but i did have problems with it on my normal x86 machines. network manager is borked me thinks. [06:46] corinth: can you not hook it up via ethernet cable for 10min? [06:47] is there any reason why i would have multiple gnome-keyring-daemon processes running right after logging in? or is that a session garf? [06:47] IndyGunFreak: Right now my main problems are that the installer can't see my external drives if I go into a live session for some reason, so in order to install, I need to start it up from the splash screen, and once it does install, it dies when it tries to install GRUB. [06:47] corinth: okay, can you just look for the line that has atheros in it and give us the model number please [06:47] for 8.10 it is most definatly, but 8.04 i don't know i can't set my wirless IP address statically [06:47] I can only connect to my WPA network if it is in roaming mode [06:47] spolvid: well, yeah, thats what its supposed to do. [06:47] IndyGunFreak, Nope. I don't have access to the router. One sec, ziroday. [06:47] ziroday, this is 64bit ubuntu and im using two 1680x1050 monitors in xinerama [06:47] IndyGunFreak: So what can I do? [06:47] surely my video card can handle this configuration? [06:47] mindframe: ah, can you just try one monitor and see if compiz works? [06:48] spolvid: are you trying to install to an external drive? [06:48] I have a silly question, I'm looking at gnome-look.org, and I'm wondering, what exactly are the items under "Appearance Preferences" ? GDM themes? Colour Schemes? what? [06:48] IndyGunFreak: Yeah. [06:48] ziroday, err i have no desire to use compiz honestly [06:48] I found network manager in 8.10 was giving new numbers to my static IP information, and breaking my network. after i got a few updates done to the machine it seemed to work better. [06:48] ziroday, AR242x [06:48] but ill check [06:48] is there any reason why i would have multiple gnome-keyring-daemon processes running right after logging in? or is that a session garf? [06:48] spolvid: well, thats kinda silly, but it will require internet access. [06:48] mindframe: I know from my own experience with an 8800GTS that dual monitors at 1680x1050 and 1920x1080 can cause massive graphical slowdowns [06:48] Neurosyn: Metacity themes, and GTK Themes [06:48] corinth: minute please [06:48] IndyGunFreak: OK.... [06:48] corinth: there's a lot of threads on ubuntuforums to get that device working, i have it and it works fine... [06:48] is anyone listening ? [06:49] GodfatherofEire1, Great, thanks =) [06:49] i am very tense [06:49] i'm waiting for them to completely fix it maxxist we have 802.1x @ our school for wireless and it doesn't download the certificate correctly or anything it's in bad shape atm [06:49] Noxilenticus i cant imagine how fun wpa is to work with in network manager right now. [06:49] helpy: Yep. [06:49] ahh wow i guess thats my prob ziroday ... i was just looking at newegg for new gfx card [06:49] session starts in 10 minutes and my audio playback won't work [06:49] mindframe: does it happen with only one monitor? [06:49] ziroday, it didnt seem nearly this slow in hardy though.,.. maybe im imagining [06:49] let me check [06:50] i can't do like anything natively o n this laptop with wireless in ubuntu maxxist the drivers just suck [06:50] Noxilenticus i can honestly say however ubuntu runs great under virtualbox on osx. [06:50] corinth: well the drivers in the package should definitly support your card, does it appear in ifconfig -a? [06:50] helpy, have you checked the sound capture device preferences? [06:50] Noxilenticus osx networking is just a week bit more polished. [06:50] i can't put it in permiscuous mode to do airodumps maxxist or anything [06:50] *sound playback [06:50] is there any reason why i would have multiple gnome-keyring-daemon processes running right after logging in? or is that a session garf? [06:50] what is there to check ? [06:50] sound works perfect in audacity. my mic works [06:50] ziroday: actually, no they don't... [06:50] but online it doesnt. [06:51] Noxilenticus which apps you using for doing that? [06:51] i can't use skype or online conferencing [06:51] helpy, u should prepair a day before the session day. sorry mic problem have to be trial an error configurations, try your lack in setting ifferent configs.. [06:51] IndyGunFreak: where do you see that? [06:51] ziroday, No, I don't see it there. [06:51] helpy: whether it's using ALSA, OSS, Pulseaudio, etc [06:51] IndyGunFreak: So then what? [06:51] yeah i do have a tiger partition on this machine but I hate compiling packages and fink or w/e package manager for the mac didn't compile some packages I needed for OSx maxxist [06:51] corinth: do you see ath5k or something similar in lsmod? [06:51] spolvid: install like a normal person?.. i told you, you're goin about this in a foolish way [06:51] trying rebooting [06:51] how do i check that ? [06:51] for doing what maxxist ? [06:51] i think its alsa [06:51] aircrack-ng maxxist ? [06:52] helpy: System -> preferences -> sound, check what device its using, and test it. [06:52] IndyGunFreak: I've tried installing like a normal person, GRUB doesn't install and it fails. === nemnoch is now known as nemnoch-away [06:52] Noxilenticus you should do what i do if money is a problem. go buy an external hd. use it for installing leopard. return it a couple days later for your money back. wipe it of course. [06:52] HDA Intel ALsa mixer [06:52] spolvid: no, you're trying to install to an external hard drive, thats why you're getting grub failures, install to an internal drive and dual boot, "like a normal person" [06:52] Noxilenticus yeah for air cracking... [06:52] ziroday, Nope. Think that has something to do with it being "activated but not currently in use"? [06:53] yeah i just used aircrack-ng maxxist [06:53] IndyGunFreak: My internal drive doesn't have enough room though. [06:53] corinth: I am not sure quite what that means, sorry [06:53] ahhh [06:53] spolvid: well, thus the issue... [06:53] Noxilenticus is that a mac app? [06:53] I have just installed 8.10 I am getting a black screen after log on. Any one help with this please?? [06:53] IndyGunFreak: So is there nothing I can do it get it installed? [06:54] no it's one of the package sweets in the 8.04 repository maxxist includes a few programs like airodump, airmon-ng, etc maxxist [06:54] spolvid: i'm sure there is, but its a pain in the ass, not to mention slow... (because of the usb bottleneck).. [06:54] hello all, Im recently installed ubunt 8.04 (hardy)...and need help to install the driver of my ATI Radeon HD 2600 pls PM ME === linux_ is now known as some_person [06:54] Noxilenticus ahh nice. which mbp you working with? I have santa-rosa. [06:54] corinth: are you still here? === some_person is now known as somprs [06:54] do i change capture sound to OSS, ALSA? [06:55] its currently on linux architecture system [06:55] The menus there should show you which one you're using [06:55] IndyGunFreak, Yup. Did I miss a suggustion? [06:55] IndyGunFreak: This is a Firewire drive, not USB, if that makes any difference. [06:55] corinth: no, i'm trying to find something. [06:55] not sure exactly maxxist i bought this on ebay it's the 2.16ghz older model [06:55] spolvid: i don't know, you seem to have all the answers... so google it [06:55] IndyGunFreak, Ah, thanks for all the help. :-) [06:55] hello all, Im recently installed ubunt 8.04 (hardy)...and need help to install the driver of my ATI Radeon HD 2600 pls PM ME [06:55] corinth: i know how to nstall the device(its actually quite easy), problem is doing it w/o internet access [06:55] is there any way I can reinstall ubuntu using a usb drive [06:55] ? [06:55] Noxilenticus lol i got the one with the buggered nvidia 8600m chip. i should send it in soon. [06:55] helpy, go to the sound preferences, make sure NOTHING is muted, no matter how insignifcant. [06:56] ziroday, yeah its significantly faster w/out the 2nd monitor... anything i can do to improve the performance? [06:56] besides buying a new video card? [06:56] i see i have a radeon x1600 or something in mine maxxist it's got a 256mb video card in it i use it for gaming too i have a windows partition on it [06:56] ziroday, is video memory the issue or what? [06:56] anybody knows how to operate mindstorms on ubuntu? [06:56] IndyGunFreak: Well, there was a website that had instructions on how to do it, but it said to start a shell when the installer failed, which I can't do unless I go into the CD live session, which again, I can't do because my external drives don't show up. [06:56] Well, I can always boot to windows to download something if I need to, IndyGunFreak . [06:57] NOTHING is muted. its just that it won't save it [06:57] do you use a package manger in leopard maxxist ? [06:57] ziroday, well i take that back, switching windows is still nowhere near snappy as it should be [06:57] when i close the window and reopen its back to mute [06:57] corinth: that won't work unfortunately(well it might, but it would be a serious pain in the..) [06:57] hello all, Im recently installed ubunt 8.04 (hardy)...and need help to install the driver of my ATI Radeon HD 2600 pls PM ME [06:57] midododo: There's a few packages in the repos for it. [06:57] Noxilenticus nice. right now i wish i upgraded sooner. except I love the LED backlight on the screen. its sick bright. but i am really worried about the nvidia problems. [06:57] ziroday, noticeable delay when drawing the new window [06:57] IndyGunFreak, Alright, tell me how to do it, then. I'll see if I can get to an ethernet cable sometime soon. [06:57] can you please say what is it? [06:57] Noxilenticus mac-ports. but never got it working well. nothing seems to build right for me. you? [06:58] corinth:..Post #3 http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=967654 [06:58] i was using fink maxxist but i don't like the support for it in tiger [06:58] midododo: There's brickos, and nqc, the former is alternative firmware, the latter is a programming language for controlling it. If you search for "lego" in synaptic, you'll get a bunch of hits. [06:59] !synaptic | midododo [06:59] midododo: synaptic is Ubuntu's Graphical Package Manager. For a good howto see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SynapticHowto [06:59] mindframe: you can try add the line Option "AddARGBGLXVisuals" "True" to your /etc/X11/xorg.conf [06:59] IndyGunFreak: I have already asked him to do that :) [06:59] ziroday, seems that compiz is making things much faster, due to acceleration i guess. how can i get compiz to work w/ dual monitors? [06:59] Noxilenticus macports was supposed to be the best. but i gots no luck with it. I cant imagine any package management system working as good as apt anymore. [06:59] hi guys a copied over some music from a friend and renamed some of the folders now when i try to copy them to my psp card i keep getting a error invalid filename [06:59] thanks guys [06:59] ziroday: problem is, he doens't have internet access on the laptop.... [06:59] so... he can't install any of that.. thats what i was explaining to him [07:00] someone can send me a link that explain good How to install very well the driver of ATI Radeon HD 2600?? [07:00] yeah i use aptitude to manage all my packages and i loves it maxxist i've never had a problem with it [07:00] Ganandorf check permissions... [07:00] IndyGunFreak: sorry, he had told me he had done that :) [07:00] where do i throw that line ziroday ? [07:00] ziroday: if he done that and its not working, then he's likely using 64bit [07:00] err what section [07:00] brb under leopard I only have two gigs of ram in this machine, not quite enough to be an elite VM user [07:00] Noxilenticus would love apt to be ported to mac. [07:00] mindframe: erm in the Section "Device" area [07:01] ziroday, IndyGunFreak, I already installed the linux-backports-modules-intrepid-generic package. It's on the CD. [07:01] maxxist: i tried that and nothing [07:01] corinth: are you using 64bit? [07:01] if grep swap /etc/mtab doesn't output anything, but swapon -s *does* however reports the priority as -1 (and usage as 0) does that mean ubuntu isn't using my swap? [07:01] !hi [07:01] Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! [07:01] I have another probably silly question, is there a program...or something, to edit the icons on gnome? I'm looking around at icon themes on gnome-look.org, unfortunately, I don't know how to install them? [07:01] someone can send me a link that explain good How to install very well the driver of ATI Radeon HD 2600?? [07:01] ganondorf they wont play on the psp or the computer you used to copy them? [07:01] corinth: IndyGunFreak: correct, thats the way you were meant to do it :) [07:01] ziroday, so compiz wont work with nvidia xinerama? [07:01] That's when the second driver showed up in the hardware drivers. The "Support for 5xxx series of Atheros 802.11 wireless LAN cards" one. The one that's activated but not in use. Yes, 64 bit [07:02] mindframe: mmm, I know compiz will have issues [07:02] Noxilenticus lol thats all i got is 2gb. [07:02] corinth: then you should learn to read instructions clearly, i doubt thats gonna work w/ 64bit... [07:02] !pm > Josesordo [07:02] Josesordo, please see my private message [07:02] corinth: did you disable the driver that it told you to? [07:02] maxxist: the files are playing on the computer but since i renamed the folder containing them i can't copy it across to a flash or the psp card [07:02] NeuroSyn: use system->preferences->appearance to add the icons if you are on hardy [07:03] Noxilenticus i run xubuntu under virtualbox. i dont think i would have a problem with full gnome though. [07:03] IndyGunFreak, Yup. [07:03] maxxist: i get copy error invalid filename [07:03] Think it'll work better with the 32 bit version? I can install it instead, I'm still vanilla. [07:03] corinth: well, i've done that on 3 different PCs(2 are mine), w/o issue at all and 32bit. [07:03] corinth: it might do :) [07:04] Is it possible to have a Linksys Router providing internet access, without running its internal DHCP server? I'd like to run a DHCP3-Server on a computer on my network (combined with Bind) [07:04] Alright guys, I'll try that. [07:04] ganondorf i cant see how renaming a folder would do that. unless the destination doesnt support how many letters you renamed it to?????? [07:04] outbackwifi, I see what you're talking about, I'm using Ibex, is there a way to add icons to that menu there? [07:04] How to install driver for ATI RAdeon HD 2600 in ubuntu 8.04?? [07:04] maxxist: i get this There was an error creating the folder "John_Legend-Evolver-(Deluxe_Edition)-2008 " details invalid filename [07:04] bzaks: yes, connect the dhcp server to the lan port instead of the internet port of the router [07:04] NeuroSyn: dont know, havent got ibex yet === Doc8404 is now known as DocUSN-USMC [07:05] I have just installed 8.10 I am getting a black screen after log on. Any one help with this please?? [07:05] outbackwifi, oh well, thanks anyway [07:05] outbackwifi: so then if I run the DHCP Server, will I still have the protection of NAT provided by the Router? [07:05] ganondorf try renaming the file to a smaller filename. maybe the psp doesnt support such large file names [07:05] maxxist: i shortened the name and i tried with another folder i moved it across and it copied and when i renamed it after and tried again it would not [07:05] hmm [07:05] off a fresh install, i'm getting errors on my sr0 device which it says is a dvd rom, but /dev/scd0 is mounted and works w/out problems? are sr0 and scd0 different? (i only have 1 dvd drive) [07:05] bzaks: no, the nat will be done by your dsl/cable modem [07:05] Any ideas as to why files have problems going from my ZEN to my laptop, but not the other way around? [07:06] ganondorf how are you copying the files? over usb with the psp plugged in? [07:06] IndyGunFreak: How much space should I give a Ubuntu partition? [07:06] hello ubu guys [07:06] GodfatherofEire1: the zen being a music player? [07:06] Josesordo: open system>Administration>hardware drivers is there a box there to enable the ati drivers? [07:06] !hi | sken [07:06] sken: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! [07:06] maxxist: no through my pro duo port in my printer [07:06] You'd be right outbackwifi [07:07] does anybody know anything about this error avc nal size 0 in mplayer [07:07] spolvid: it depends on what all you plan to do with it... i would think at least 10gigs so you can install some things, etc. [07:07] outbackwifi: So the dhcp server is just like any other computer on the network. The modem usually gives the router an IP, now where does that IP go? [07:07] ganondorf can try other files copying to the card? like a small txt file or something... [07:07] GodfatherofEire1: what are you using to send files to the zen; ive found amarok & rhythmbox work great [07:07] maxxist: i tired with another folder moved it it copied, renamed it and it would not copy [07:07] spolvid: i would make sure you have a backup befoer you do any partitioning, etc. === soreau_ is now known as soreau [07:08] IndyGunFreak: I know. [07:08] maxxist: other files are copying but once they get renamed or their name is edited in any way i get a error [07:08] ok [07:08] bzaks: it doesnt matter cos the router will now act as an ap (access point) which dont need ip addresses for anything other than maintenance [07:08] legend2440: yes, is downloading a xorg file [07:08] just installed 8.10 64 bit and my network(wireless) does freeze all ten minute [07:08] outbackwifi, using rhythmbox, but it just refuses to transfer files from the zen, but has no problems transferring it to the zen [07:08] i have installed 8.10 64 bit and my network connection does freeze all ca. 5 minute [07:09] ganondorf what is the purpose of renaming the files? maybe rename them before copying them over???? [07:09] does anybody know anything about this error avc nal size 0 in mplayer? [07:09] GodfatherofEire1: what might those errors be? === mohamed is now known as Guest98835 [07:09] kostja i had lots of problems earlier today with a new install of 8.10 and my network. [07:09] some of the artist are wrong for whats contained inside the folder and thats the prob once i rename them before copying i can't get them to copy [07:09] outbackwifi: it just doesnt transfer [07:10] outbackwifi I set it to transfer, it begins the process, but nothin goes to my computer [07:10] GodfatherofEire1: does the zen show up as a usb storage device in /media ? [07:10] kostja i was able to finally get it to do a kernel update and it seemed to fix the network problems. [07:10] Nope [07:10] outbackwifi: yes, but who is getting that external IP that the router usually gets? If the modem is plugged in a lan port, won't it try to give every computer on the net an address? [07:11] maxxist: what could be the prob [07:11] maxxist, thanks, how can get this update now, i have to work:( [07:11] the router would still get it [07:11] ganondorf i think its your method. i am guessin at thispoint [07:11] bzaks: oh i see, you mean that the modem is in bridged mode? [07:11] outbackwifi, doesnt show up under media [07:12] maxxist: i am using drag and drop i tried copy and paste nothing [07:12] ganondorf manually one at a time? [07:12] GodfatherofEire1: can you pastebin the last few lines of your dmesg after you plugin your zen? [07:12] maxxist: yep [07:12] dmesg? [07:12] kostja i was able to let it sit for a long time and it finally was able to download the update... [07:12] GodfatherofEire1: type dmesg in a terminal [07:13] outbackwifi: Well, I'm not sure what mode its in, but the router has 2 IPs, an external IP and an internal IP. The external is what the world sees, and the internal is what all of my computers see. The external IP is set via my ISP through the modem. Right now, the internal is set up through the dhcp server in the modem. [07:13] bzaks: in that case, you have two options; 1) configure the modem as a router (if its capable) 2) disable dhcp server on modem and let the router be as it was [07:14] outbackwifi: I'm not sure I can do that, I'm pretty sure that Comcast has their modems locked down pretty tight [07:14] bzaks: if the modem has 2 ips, then it is a router too; so connect the lan side of the modem to one of the lan ports of your wireless router and disable dhcp on that [07:14] outbackwifi http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/69120/ [07:14] ganondorf can u try using the mem stick in the psp and plug the psp in to do the file management? possibly something wrong with the way your printer is handling the files???? [07:15] bzaks: all the machines on the lan side will now gett their ips from the modem instead of the wireless router [07:15] hi all [07:15] maxxist, where can i find this update? [07:15] kostja are you using static IPS? [07:15] maxxist: hmm don't have a usb cord for it i guess i will have to get it from my friend again and not change the name [07:15] GodfatherofEire1: the device hadnt settled down. can you paste some more please? [07:16] ganondorf sorry bro. i dont know what else it could be at this point. [07:16] screw it, I'll just do it the way I think should work. [07:16] bzaks, your modem is not giving the router the internal address. [07:16] no a have i router for my laptop [07:16] kostja is your network dhcp or static? [07:16] just disable the DHCP server in the Linksys router [07:17] does anybody know anything about this error avc nal size 0 in mplayer [07:17] redfish: but do I connect the modem to the internet port still and let the router be referenced as the main gateway through dhcp? [07:17] plug the modem to the WAN port of the router, you computers to the LAN port, and your DHCP server to a LAN port [07:18] <|neon|> i'm having a strange problem, i can change my desktop settings and everything works fine, but once i reboot the settings are lost everytime, i tried session manager but not luck, any suggestions? [07:18] kostja i was just wondering. cause i run static ip's on my network. thought it might be a problem. I found the network manager in 8.10 to be a little bit broken. it was changing numbers i had manually entered and saved. after i would go back in they were completely different. [07:18] why not use the Linksys' built in DHCP server? [07:18] Hello, Just for record. I've just upgraded to 8.10. Before I was having trouble with sound. I couldn't hear anything. Now everything is fine (at least on initial test of rythm box). My edirol ua-5 is working on OSS. [07:18] outbackwifi http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/69121/ [07:18] redfish: Because I want to set up a name server as well as run PXEBoot stuff. [07:18] love it :) [07:19] Socapex_2K, 8.10 works great here too ;-) [07:19] dhcp [07:19] again a network freeze, dhcp [07:19] bzaks: oic [07:19] #ubuntu-es [07:19] rock on ubuntu, hehe [07:20] i will try to change to static ip or complete without networkmanager [07:20] how do i find out what is it on ubuntu server? [07:20] I have just installed 8.10 I am getting a black screen after log on. Any one help with this please?? The only thing that works is terminal emulator. [07:20] kostja i was using 64bit also when having these problems. you can download .debs manually for the newer kernel.. but its not fun.. hehe [07:20] joot do you have multiple monitors? [07:20] maxxist where can i find this debs? [07:20] GodfatherofEire1: hmm your zen isnt detected and there are a whole bunch of i/o errors on sr0 [07:21] kostja at ubuntu site. you can find the updates there... [07:21] joot: do you have ati card? [07:21] maxxist: No but I have an intel shred memory which may be part of the prob [07:21] outbackwifi, Well rythmbox recognizes it, as do most other processes, I just cant transfer files off it. [07:21] maxxist, thank you so mauch, i hope it will solve my problem [07:22] joot hmm. should not be. intel is well supported. [07:22] !dhcp3 [07:22] Sorry, I don't know anything about dhcp3 [07:22] I can transfer files onto it without incident though outbackwifi [07:22] kostja hope so too man [07:22] Socapex_2K; Intel shared [07:22] !dhcp [07:22] dhcp is Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol, a protocol for automatic IP assignment from a router. Ubuntu uses dhclient as a DHCP client but other ones (and DHCP servers too) can be obtained from the !repos. More info at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DHCP [07:22] GodfatherofEire1: normally when you try to send from the device to the pc, these devices look for some kind of a handshake from a client program [07:23] Maxxist: seems OK till logon then just locks up with a black screen [07:23] Is there a way to remove a partition from the gnome-mount thing? So that it doesn't show up in places, and what not? [07:23] maxxist, which version of kernel is it? [07:23] joot: Can't help, sorry :) [07:24] Maxxist: Did the install twice just in case of a residual problem === Drew_ is now known as subrand0m [07:24] does anyone know how to use dhcp3-server i have followed tuts but i keep getting these lines: * Stopping DHCP server dhcpd3 [fail] then straight after * Starting DHCP server dhcpd3 [fail] [07:24] Socapex_2K: thanks any way :) [07:24] http://battlefright.de [07:24] So, outbackwifi, sny ideas on what to do so that I can transfer files from my ZEN? [07:24] NeuroSyn: Can you explain a little bit better. In details [07:24] kostja i think it ends with a 7 [07:24] GodfatherofEire1: have you tried using mtpfs? [07:24] kostja i think its 2.6.27-7 [07:25] GodfatherofEire1: apparently its an MTP device so wont show up as usb mass storage. [07:25] NeuroSyn: What do you want to achieve. Specifically [07:25] 2.6.27-7-generic <- this i my version [07:25] kostja i think its 2.6.27-7 make sure you get 64bit [07:25] is there a command to find out what time is it on a server? [07:25] ziroday, the last time I did that I had more errors than my old windows computer [07:25] GodfatherofEire1: you need to use Kzenexplorer [07:25] GodfatherofEire1: this might help --> http://backports.ubuntuforums.com/showthread.php?t=216191 [07:25] joot you say you have cli? [07:25] outbackwifi: thats just it: that's the one program that doesnt recognize it [07:25] Socapex_2K, well, if I look under my places menu, there's a partition showing that it will ask me to mount if I click on it, I hope to achieve the partition NOT being listed on places, and elsewhere. [07:26] Q: Synaptic says 'Unable to lock the list directory' when i try to Reload ... there is no other app open. I did edit sources.list with Gedit but restored the backed up version...how can i fix it? [07:26] Anybody out there using an sis900 for ethernet? And if so, did the latest kernel update bork it for you too? [07:26] Omeil: did you try this one: http://www.howtoforge.com/dhcp_server_linux_debian_sarge [07:26] Maxxist: Cli?? [07:26] kostja are you able to do the updates through synaptic? i know your net shuts down on you. but does it come back up on its own? [07:26] GodfatherofEire1: have you also seen this -> http://libmtp.sourceforge.net/ [07:26] joot sorry command line [07:27] Socapex_2K, does that make sense? [07:27] Maxxist: Sorry yes!! [07:27] NeuroSyn: hmmm, let me see a bit. I thought this was about grub, so I might not be of too much help. [07:27] omeil: did you edit the /etc/default/dhcp3-server ? [07:27] omeil: you need to set a default interface [07:27] NeuroSyn: just a min [07:27] joot second please. [07:27] Socapex_2K, sure =) thanks for trying either way [07:28] How do I go about playing RealMedia files in Intrepid? [07:28] Maxxist: No hurry [07:28] outbackwifi libmtp is installed [07:28] mythril: look into mediubuntu [07:28] Mythril: download the realplayer 11 deb [07:28] As are the -dev files for it [07:28] outbackwifi: 64bit [07:28] outbackwifi: the deb they have is for i386 distro [07:28] Can someone help me with my Synaptic problem? [07:29] does anybody know anything about this error avc nal size 0 in mplayer? [07:29] bzaks, i edited /etc/dhcp3/dhcpd.conf [07:29] GodfatherofEire1: try all the progs here --> http://libmtp.sourceforge.net/downstream.php [07:29] maxxist yes [07:29] Mythril: what about the helix player? [07:29] omeil: but did you edit /etc/default/dhcp3-server ? its another file [07:29] GodfatherofEire1: I believe you have tried gnomad2? [07:29] bzaks, nope [07:29] <|neon|> i'm having a strange problem, i can change my desktop settings and everything works fine, but once i reboot the settings are lost everytime, i tried session manager but not luck, any suggestions? [07:29] nicholaspaul: what the prob exactly...? [07:29] joot can you do a "sudo apt-get upgrade" and let it do updates. maybe it will grab a new driver or kernel first... [07:29] Q: Synaptic says 'Unable to lock the list directory' when i try to Reload ... there is no other app open. I did edit sources.list with Gedit but restored the backed up version...how can i fix it? [07:30] frybye: ^ [07:30] omeil: Check it out. You need to set a interface for DHCP3-server to run on [07:30] nicholaspaul: are you using apt-get with synaptics open? [07:30] Ziroday, yep, tried that, kze, amarok, banshee, and rhythmbox, all had at least one problem with it [07:30] kostja sweet try it out. you might get lucky and grab the files you need to fix it... [07:30] problem/bug [07:30] redfish: nope. nothing else open. [07:30] nicholaspaul: I dont have a clue - sombody will though... ;) [07:30] frybye: thanks :) [07:30] kostja its way easier than hunting down a kernel to manually install.. [07:30] uh my gdm fails to start T_T [07:30] GodfatherofEire1: unfortunatly mtp and its apps are notoriously buggy, what exactly are you trying to do? [07:30] bzaks, i added eth0 between the semi colons [07:31] ziroday, just tryin to get some of the music on my zen onto the laptop [07:31] redfish: i did have a failed apt-get that I CTRL-Z'd ... i'm thinking it has locked something [07:31] NeuroSyn: I'll have to give this to someone else. I remember using the option, but I can't remember what :) Sorry, hope somebody can help. I'll keep looking a bit still [07:31] Ciao [07:31] omeil: between the semi colons? they're quote marks in that file. [07:31] nicholaspaul: what happens when you type sudo apt-get update with synaptics closed? [07:31] Maxxist: already tried that and it comes back with errors sugesting to update when I update it comes back with errors also [07:31] nicholaspaul: do you have update manager or some other package management application open at the same time? [07:31] bzaks, ah yeah quote marks i mean lol [07:31] Omeil: restart dhcp3-server [07:31] bzaks, still same error msg tho :( [07:31] GodfatherofEire1: well I know that gnomad2 can do that [07:31] joot any specific errors you can mention? [07:31] Oh hay guys, problem. Something is hemorraging space. I never have any room, and can't restart because I end up with so little free space xorg doesn't start. Is there perhaps an immediate diagnosis or a visualization of my hard drive I can obtain? [07:31] Socapex_2K, thanks =) [07:31] omeil: what's /var/log/syslog say? [07:32] ziroday: no [07:32] outbackwifi: [07:32] joot which intel chipset is it? [07:32] Maxxist: BADSIG < KEYNUMBER.

[07:33] maxxist, sorry i can't find 64 bit kernel [07:33] nicholaspaul: try restarting [07:33] redfish: i logged out and in again [07:33] Mythril: lol ") [07:34] outbackwifi: 1 sec [07:34] GodfatherofEire1: you tried copying of one at a time, its buggy :) [07:34] Maxxist: NO it is old with ddr 400mhz ram and 2.4 celeron [07:34] I've got vmware-server installed and have seen a few tutorials that have instructions on how to load XP from it's partition. Has anyone here successfully accomplished this? [07:34] ziroday: how to do this? [07:34] Brucee: type date in a terminal [07:34] ddd: one sec [07:34] 8.10 Rocks! woohoo, African herbsman [07:34] nicholaspaul: try "sudo pkill apt" [07:34] hey #ubuntu is when I try to run gdm it doesn't start.

[07:34] ziroday, yeah, there were entire blocks of files that would cause it to shut down [07:34] kostja i know your net is shutting down but can you try synaptic for the update? you may get lucky and it might grab those files before it shuts down on you. === name_name_ is now known as name_name [07:35] ddd: you need to add this repo to your /etc/apt/soruces.list [07:35] Ziroday, it just became impractical pretty quick [07:35] outbackwifi: oh, i'm just restarting... [07:35] joot which version did you install on it?

[07:36] rev-nathan: what about du -h ? [07:36] Flannel: Nothing over 385kb [07:36] IndyGunFreak, ziroday, works great. Thanks. :) [07:36] bzaks, have to declare subnet in the conf? [07:36] ziroday, I'll manage to figure out somethin [07:36] ziroday: can you paste me the name of the repo or the line to add? [07:36] outbackwifi: nah, nothin exceeding 300mb at lease. [07:36] corinth: 32bit and the intrepid backports module? [07:37] how come when i click Applications the menu opens while open i try to lower the volume but does not work. why do i have to minimize the menu in order to for the volume to work? [07:37] Maxxist: desktop the one with the live option. [07:37] anyone gotten vmware server 2 to run under hardy? [07:37] joot when you booted the live cd did you get a desktop? [07:37] reverendnathan: How about df -h [07:37] corinth: good to hear... i figured it would work fine w/ 32bit. [07:37] Omeil: correct. You also need to kill the other DHCP server. [07:37] reverendnathan: and df -h shows 100% on root partition? [07:37] ziroday, Yup. [07:37] ddd: certaintly, deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/network-manager/ubuntu hardy main [07:37] corinth: awesome! [07:37] ziroday Amarok worked in 8.04, but this is 8.10, so worst comes to worst, I put it on those comps, and use rsync to transfer [07:37] joot no errors on install? [07:38] how to download package foo from a repo to a .deb file so I can take it to a no-network system? [07:38] Maxxist: No desktop on live so I went for the install instead [07:38] why can't i hear the other video player's volume while i have a youtube video at the same time? [07:38] ddd: can you attach a ethernet cable briefly? [07:38] Maxxist: I saw no errors I watched the install [07:38] maxxist, okay, generic is a 64 bit kernel for me [07:38] ziroday: no :/ [07:39] ddd, there's an apt command to save the deb, lemme have a look [07:39] outbackwifi: yes [07:39] ddd: err, well then you will have to download all the files listed on https://launchpad.net/~network-manager/+archive and install them [07:39] or, ziroday: can I take an 8.10 install CD and use it to upgrade my 8.04 to 8.10 without using network? [07:39] ddd: is the cd an alternate cd or a desktop cd? [07:39] Flannel: /dev/sda1 97G 92G 50M 100% / [07:39] outbackwifi ziroday There, a restart fixed it ! Cheers! [07:40] Maxxist: The same problem occurs with the live option gets to welcome then dies [07:40] joot [07:40] sorry [07:40] joot try out this from command line. sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-org [07:41] hi all, i just installed an ftp server on my server with a new ftp user who's home is the domain i want it to be able to access, login works, but i get permission denied on file transfers.. somone care to steer me in the right direction pls? [07:41] reverendnathan: That takes talent. And nothing in / is abnormally large? [07:41] joot then if no error do a reboot [07:41] Maxxist: OK I need to change to a different machine the 8.10 is not online [07:42] joot you know the command for reboot is restart right... [07:42] nicholaspaul: coulda typed sudo pkill apt [07:42] hi [07:42] nicholaspaul: guess you already restarted when i sent that msg [07:43] ziroday: I can download either. which to get? [07:43] When I log in to ubuntu I get this error message, and the login fails: mkdtemp failed: permission denied [07:43] ddd: you need the alternate cd if you want to upgrade 8.04 to 8.10 using a cd [07:43] redfish: yea i had! Thanks! I'll try to remember for next time. [07:45] http://releases.ubuntu.com/8.10/ubuntu-8.10-alternate-amd64.iso.torrent [07:45] ziroday: ^ this one? [07:45] ddd: thats fine [07:45] that CD is all that I need to upgrade a non-network box with 8.04 desktop amd64 to 8.10 right? [07:45] ddd: correct [07:45] what do I do when I have the cd? [07:46] !upgrade | ddd [07:46] ddd: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes [07:46] xavieran: http://mihirknows.blogspot.com/2008/06/mkdtemp-private-socket-dir-permission.html [07:46] Hello. Is it normal that that the amd64 version of ubuntu consumes more RAM then i386 version? [07:46] thank you Lenny_ [07:46] hi [07:46] Flannel: Right. I'm having real trouble finding this out since I moved ALL of my media to my other HDD, so this would have to be from some program. Clearing history in my internet didn't do squat, so I assume it's not FF. Anything else notorious for eating up free space? [07:46] how do i set my sound settings back to its original state? [07:46] *legend2440 (Xchat's autocompletion...) :D [07:47] does anybody know anything about this error avc nal size 0 in mplayer [07:47] xavieran: yes thats what i figured [07:47] reverendnathan: go to /var/log/messages and do a du -h inside this directory; pastebin the output of that [07:47] sken: the people in #mplayer are experts [07:47] thx [07:48] can aybody here help me out with ubuntu 8.10 (Network connection) [07:48] reverendnathan: do you have beagle installed? [07:48] chandraneelnr: please be be more specific [07:49] ziroday: Only archiving thing I have is SimplifyMedia [07:49] outbackwifi: OK hold on [07:49] reverendnathan: ah okay, beagle is notorious for making huge indexing files, there goes my idea :) [07:49] !anyone | chandraneelnr [07:49] chandraneelnr: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? [07:50] outbackwifi: not a directory. /var/log totals 5.5Mb [07:50] reverendnathan: are you on ubuntu? [07:51] if on one box I have 8.04 and 8.10 installent, but no network, is there some clever way to upgrade the 8.04 using files from 8.10 ? [07:52] ddd need network for that [07:52] outbackwifi: kubuntu 8.x [07:52] at least a direct network connection between the two computers [07:52] anyone know how to make hybrid suspend the default on lid close? i can't find the starting point in the acpi scripts, where does it actually call the suspend command? [07:52] well i have a dial-up modem. i have used scanmodem and configured the modem. But when i do sudo wvdial, it shows 'not a valid phone usrname and password'. Although the usrname etc. work well in windows and 8.04 but cannot do it in 8.10 [07:53] ddd: if you have the alternate install CD, i believe you can upgrade from it. [07:53] reverendnathan: yours is the first ubuntu that didnt have the /var/log/ as a directory :) [07:53] Maxxist: Yes for restart.. error /usr/bin/dpkg reconfigure xserver_org not installed... If I apt get install I get message that latest version is intalled [07:54] outbackwifi: /var/log is there, /var/log/messages/ is not one. [07:54] joot your install is borked. you need to reinstall. [07:55] joot might i suggest downloading the install disc again. [07:55] in 8.04 there is an option for network configuration where one is supposed to enter details such as target number, username, password but no such option exits in 8.10 [07:55] reverendnathan: oh ok my bad (didnt realize that i had asked you to cd to /var/log/messages) [07:55] joot i always suggest the alternate install disc. [07:55] reverendnathan: can you cd to /var/log and then run du -h . inside it pls [07:55] joot its a little less pretty of an installer but it works well [07:55] How come ubuntu hasn't upgraded ekiga to 3.0 when ubuntu was upgraded to 8.10? [07:56] Maxxist: OK I think I will completely format the thing to get rid of any cruft. I do not have the alternate disc [07:56] blame: Because 3.0 wasn't stable when 8.10 was released [07:56] joot you can download from ubuntu site. [07:56] outbackwifi: http://paste.ubuntu.com/69131/ [07:56] Flannel: any way to get ekiga 3 now? [07:56] people will anybody answer my query????? [07:56] joot i think your original disc is bad. you said you tried to install twice with it? [07:57] Maxxist: Alright I will do that I am not too worried about a pretty install screen as long as the end result is good [07:57] blame: There may be a backport from jaunty available. You could file a backport request. [07:57] !backport | blame [07:57] blame: If new updated Ubuntu packages are built for an application, then they may go into Ubuntu Backports. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuBackports - See also !packaging [07:58] joot its still got a simple installer. pretty much guided. just doesnt have a desktop. very easy to follow though. [07:58] thanks [07:58] joot but it will install a desktop for you bro [07:58] Maxxist: Yes but I also have a rc version and that is not going in either [07:59] joot yeah stick to stable man [07:59] maxxist , i update has been made, but it's the same behavior [07:59] Modem query. Will anybody answer it??? [07:59] kostja_ is your whole network going down or just the ubuntu box? [07:59] Cool I will go and d/l thanks for your help :)) [08:00] joot np. hope it works out [08:00] Maxxist: Will let you know [08:00] reverendnathan: the logs look cool; how much disk space do you totally have? [08:00] no, just my laptop, my phone is over ip and i have tested it, it works without problems [08:00] joot i be here [08:00] Hi! How do I turn of xfce so I can run Fluxbox? [08:00] kostja_ k that rules that out. [08:01] Maxxist: Later then :) [08:01] Nillerz: you can pick fluxbox at the login screen [08:01] I don't see any of those options at the login screen [08:01] Nillerz: did you install fluxbox? [08:01] I see shut-down, restart, and saved sessions [08:01] yes I did install fluxbox [08:01] kostja_ you are using dhcp or auto right? what kind of network card are you using? [08:01] dhcp [08:02] Nillerz: err it should be called session or something like that, one sec [08:02] reverendnathan: one area where you can immediately salvage some disk space is in your /usr/share/doc [08:03] Is there a channel for jaunty yet? [08:03] reverendnathan: just delete everything inside that directory as none of us reads the documentation (we come to #ubuntu straight) [08:03] Nillerz: go to the bottom left and go to sessions [08:03] firestorm: #ubuntu+1 will be it, and its likely still closed. [08:03] sessions you say? Okay, be right back then [08:04] amarok is renaming some songs and no matter what i do it just keeps doing it [08:04] maxxist, santa rose plattform, intel [08:04] anyone seen this? [08:04] mount: Key has expired <-- Getting this when mounting a CIFS file system on a Windows Vista machine... ? I'm running 8.10 [08:05] Hello, im looking for a nice GUI app for converting audio files to different formats.. mainly ogg to mp3. Any thoughts??? [08:05] <|adam|> Does 8.10 have better power management support, specifically, laptops? [08:05] I have a question regarding FireStarter and some strange traffic i'm getting from my ISP. Can some one help me or direct me to a place where I can get help. I suck at anything networking related :P [08:05] WIGGMPk: transcoding lossy to lossy is a bad idea. [08:05] WIGGMPk: soundkonverter [08:05] oh hello this is fluxboxy [08:05] WIGGMPk: there is a package called soundconverter, should do what you need [08:05] kostja_ you on a laptop? [08:05] I'm sorry I should have figured that out, I don't think I messd with enough things [08:05] !info soundconverter > WIGGMPk [08:05] wiggmpk, please see my private message [08:05] Flannel: lossy? I dont follow [08:06] Flannel: cheers [08:06] egoflux: ziroday: thanks both of you [08:06] np [08:07] WIGGMPk: mp3 and ogg are both lossy audio compression schemes (which means they throw data out to accomplish the compression). Converting from one lossy format to another means you get information thrown out from encoding 1, and more information thrown out from encoding 2. So your sound quality is much worse than if you ripped directly to encoding 2 (or went from a lossless codec, like FLAC, straight to encoding 2) [08:08] maxxist ASUS A8SC [08:08] kostja_ brb [08:09] Flannel: wow, I had no idea about that Flannel, thanks.. what if you only have an audio file that is already in a lossy form? what is the best way to proceed (if you need it to be in another format, say one that is more universally accepted?) [08:09] well i have a dial-up modem. i have used scanmodem and configured the modem. But when i do sudo wvdial, it shows 'not a valid phone usrname and password'. Although the usrname etc. work well in windows and 8.04 but cannot do it in 8.10 In 8.04 there is an option for network configuration where one is supposed to enter details such as target number, username, password but no such option exits in 8.10 [08:09] maxxist ? === diskin is now known as diskin|away [08:10] <|adam|> anyone running 8.10 on quad-screen with 2 video cards (NV)? [08:10] WIGGMPk: Unfortunately theres no alternative if you need it in format B and only have it in format A. In the future, if you're "archiving", rip to FLAC, which is lossless, and will allow you to encode in the format-of-the-month without any quality loss. [08:10] <|neon|> i'm having a strange problem, i can change my desktop settings and everything works fine, but once i reboot the settings are lost everytime, i tried session manager but not luck, any suggestions? [08:11] hey guys im getting this error can somebody help make -C /lib/modules/2.6.24-16-server/build SUBDIRS=/home/tim/agrsm modules [08:11] make: *** /lib/modules/2.6.24-16-server/build: No such file or directory.

Although the usrname etc. work well in windows and 8.04 but cannot do it in 8.10 In 8.04 there is an option for network configuration where one is supposed to enter details such as target number, username, password but no such option exits in 8.10 [08:11] Flannel: sound has never been my strong point, and I really appreciate the education. Is there anything extra required for ubuntu to process FLAC or is this supported by default? [08:12] im getting this error when trying up to install the driver for agere 56k modem make: *** /lib/modules/2.6.24-16-server/build: No such file or directory. Stop.

[08:17] h4mx0r: that means your server isnt configured properly; check its exports file [08:18] timreichhart synaptic will do it for you if there is a newer one available [08:18] h4mx0r: you can also use * to allow all ip addresses but that might not be secure [08:18] ziroday: I have the .dsc .orig.tar.gz .diff.gz files [08:18] Aron_: okay, one sed [08:18] what is the command because im doing this on putty [08:18] timecist: use aptitude if you are on a text terminal [08:18] I'm having a error while installing 8.10 which says that some file is not correct and my cd is corrupted.I've checked the md5 before burning and also did a media check from the cd. [08:19] no one knows how to adjust the sound card buffer in Gnome? [08:19] ziroday outbackwifi: I want to enable all addresses on 192.168.1. etc with a 255.255.255.0 submask how do I say that in /etc/exports ?

The best place to ask really is #launchpad [08:20] thank [08:20] ziroday: can we continue here, or change to #launchpad? [08:20] outbackwifi: are you sure? I just went to shared folders option and put in 192.168.1.255/255.255.255.0 and it doesn't work perhaps I should do 192.168.1.255 for the netmask? [08:21] After updating to the latest ubuntu, torrentflux-b4rt shows speeds as 0.00 kb/sec and progress bar is always at 0% even though it's downloading, anyone know how to fix that, or why it's like that? [08:21] Aron_: asking the people in launchpad where your fuzzy about ppa's would be better [08:21] outbackwifi: I would like to keep track of which folders I'm sharing and with which permissions there [08:21] how do i change the settings for the keybind for changing the brightness of the screen? [08:21] ziroday: thx [08:21] <|adam|> h4mx0r: 192.168.1.0/255.255.255.0 [08:22] wers: is it a laptop? try checking for laptop mode script and browsing through it for brightness options it probably uses the same method for when you pull the power cable [08:22] h4mx0r: this is what someone says IP networks — Allows the matching of hosts based on their IP addresses within a larger network. For example, 192.168.0.0/28 allows the first 16 IP addresses, from 192.168.0.0 to 192.168.0.15, to access the exported file system, but not 192.168.0.16 and higher. [08:22] h4mx0r, where is that laptop mode script? [08:23] wers: on my laptop its inside /etc/acpi [08:23] wers: its a service thing sort of, I think they still use it in 8.10 try googling for ubuntu laptop mode brightness and you should find the relevant commands to adjust your shortcut buttons [08:23] maxxist, over cable all does work [08:24] After mounting an ISO DVD image, how do I play the movie? [08:24] MHz128: use vlc/totem [08:24] for some reason, the brightness keybind doesnt work properlyanymore. whenever i press the keybind for adjusting it up or down, it doesnt work all the time and the OSD doesnt appear anymore [08:24] ziroday: I have to say nobody replies me on #launchpad [08:25] Aron_: just wait [08:25] ziroday: OK [08:25] kostja_ thats a good start then... [08:28] ok I did have this Found kernel: /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.24-16-server but how would I get it to get back at that image file [08:28] hey guys what can I use to open files from a video cam ? [08:28] ForsakenSoul: what do they end in? [08:29] ziroday [08:29] just a moment [08:29] most of them are .mov's... [08:30] timecist: by telling grub to use it [08:30] er timreichhart [08:32] Hi!

ONE... the display is glitchy, so I can't see anything unless I alt+sysrq+R, E, I. Then it just sits there accomplishing nothing on the CD-ROM detecting phase.... doin gNOTHING.. [09:30] adises: are you still there? if you are on 8.10 you have to change the "hardy" word on the repo line to "intrepid" [09:30] mudit: you can use wine or check if there is a linux port of your compiler [09:30] mudit: but what compiler is it? [09:31] newbe's q: i installed wbar deb package,but it didnt show up.anybody knows the reason? [09:31] lilkoisuru_: did you do a media check? [09:31] ay^, its probably pilot error then, I will change the titling stuff and see if that change takes...perhaps my grub is looking elsewhere [09:31] outbackwifi: I have no os on this hard disk. This is a clean install./ [09:31] outbackwifi: Yes. [09:31] I have a couple quick questions..I was hoping u guys may be able to help me answer them...maybe [09:31] outbackwifi: it is flex compiler [09:31] !ask | hot_wheelz [09:31] hot_wheelz: 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. :-) [09:31] mudit: flex as in lexical analyzer? [09:31] !info flex [09:31] Chilired: yeah I was thinking of that too, perhaps it's installed in the MBR as well or something [09:31] flex (source: flex): A fast lexical analyzer generator..

[09:36] outbackwifi: It said the CD-ROM was fine. [09:37] outbackwifi: It seems to take forever and a day to detect hardware. [09:37] lilkoisuru_: whats the hardware config? did you check if it was on the hcl? [09:37] !hcl | lilkoisuru_ [09:37] lilkoisuru_: For lists of supported hardware on Ubuntu see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport - To help debugging and improving hardware detection, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingHardwareDetection [09:38] lilkoisuru_: also did you check whether you're using the right version of ubuntu like 64-bit for amd64 etc? [09:38] ouytbackwifi: No need. I've had this intalled on this system before with all hardware working out-of-the-box. I DID remove all my hard disks and install a new 500 GiB, though. [09:39] outbackwifi: Would the installers not like what channel they're installing from/to? [09:39] lilkoisuru_: channel?? [09:39] outbackwifi: SATA channel === desti_T2 is now known as desti [09:39] lilkoisuru_: id have to say that shouldnt be a problem tho [09:41] omg!! ubiquity halts my system,,!! cannot install!

[09:42] outbackwifi: Okay, now this is REALLY ticking me off. It failed to detect my networking hardware... [09:42] my cd/dvd/ and thumb drives no longer mount or show up at all [09:43] outbackwifi: The LiveCD was able to get that working right off the bat, so I know it's not an issue of support.

[09:44] why would a new install not atuomount cds/dvds/thumbdrives when it did before [09:45] outbackwifi: Maybe I should just give up and install Hardy Heron. I'm pretty sure that would actually work. >.< [09:46] people, what packages do i miss? http://paste.ubuntu.com/69072/, i have ubuntu-restricted-extras and w32codecs installed [09:46] lilkoisuru_: sure; ive not upgraded yet [09:46] screw thi9s shit, back to windows [09:47] * outbackwifi wonders what the fuss was all about [09:47] outbackwifi No i dont, [09:47] probally hardware problem [09:48] LoveGuru: you dont what?

[09:49] outbackwifi> LoveGuru: did you try the sql-ledger website? [09:49] ardchoille, I would assume your camera simply acts as a usb storage device when plugged in, in which case you can just plug it in and browse like any other filesystem. === Henkules is now known as henk_away [09:49] outbackwifi Well, it finally reached the partitioner.

[09:55] whats the problem pronoy [09:55] geev: a) sudo fdisk /dev/sdb1 (assuming thats the flash disk partition) b) press d to delete existing partition c) press n for new d) select type e) w to write f) mkfs /dev/sdb1 (if its ext3) [09:55] Rimfrost: is that an older computer? Keep in mind the livecd can be slow, but it's much faster once it's installed to the hdd [09:56] rimfrost: It *is* running off a CD, after all. It's a lot of data to run off. [09:56] Chilired: it crashes every time i run an application like totem [09:56] playing xvid? [09:56] chilired: it hangs up and then it has to be forcequit [09:56] chilired: divx [09:56] outbackwifi: thank am going to perform this now [09:57] yeah but the same problem is when it is installed too, long wait time until the installer runs and when it is installed also it is a black screen for like 5-10 mins or more. [09:57] what is the best why to arrange my directories [09:57] pronoy, does the divx actually continue to play or does it crash out too [09:57] I installed ubuntu server, xorg, slim, than fluxbox.

[10:01] rfxcasey: that is unsupported and unsafe [10:01] rfxcasey: yes, ensure that wherever you move has the permissions for your normal user [10:01] !grub | indistylo, first link [10:01] indistylo, first link: GRUB is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - GRUB how-tos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto [10:01] rfxcasey: you can lock it up again [10:01] !root | rfxcasey [10:01] rfxcasey: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [10:01] outbackwifi : ok ..Frnd i tried it already /// Can u suggest me step by step procedure [10:02] i was Unsucessful to Install GRUB [10:02] rfxcasey: At the risk of sounding like I'm flamin gyou.... using root is a stupid thing to do. Especially if one were to, say, log in as root as their normal user. === j2daosh_ is now known as j2daosh [10:03] rfxcasey: one of the things about that is that everyone knows you have a root account and they can sit here all day and try to brute force it, but you can't do that if root is locked.

[10:08] bullgard4: what do you mean by description? [10:08] rfxcasey: It is like sudo, it allows you to run graphical prgrams as root. The syntax would be gksudo (command) [10:09] rfxcasey: one of the things about that is that everyone knows you have a root account and they can sit here all day and try to brute force it, but you can't do that if root is locked. [10:09] ziroday: Don't you know what a 'program description' is? Some call it program manual. [10:09] !gksudo | casey [10:09] casey: If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why) [10:09] bullgard4: you mean how to use it? [10:09] yes [10:10] bullgard4: I would think its reasonably self explanatory, did you click on the help button in the bottom left [10:11] Huh. Every time I type something on this machine here... it beeps. D: [10:12] Only on xchat. I'm restarting it [10:12] so are you all saying I should disable local administrator login [10:12] Hi all, can anyone help me fix a broken Xsession? [10:12] rfxcasey: yes, that's the default behavior. [10:12] rfxcasey: yes, you should not have the root account enabled [10:13] what about my permissions what should I have it set at\ [10:13] lilkoisuru_, you are in "insert" mode [10:13] rfxcasey: I have been using Linux since 2001 and Ubuntu since 2005. I've never had to log into root since then, sudo can do anything you need. [10:13] rfxcasey: `sudo passwd -l` and then use `gksu nautilus` if you *really* need a root file browser (and be extremely careful, and close it as soon as your done) [10:13] lilkoisuru_, press ins key once again [10:13] sudo and gksudo elevate you to root levels for one command. [10:14] well it would be nice to see how others have there file structures set up [10:14] when i run "sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg" i get something like "xserver-xorg postinst waring: overwriting possibly-customised configuration file; backup in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.200xxxxxx...

[10:15] there are a lot of hidden files [10:16] I've reached the cleaning up phase.... seems to be sitting there again. Well, waiting patiently worked before... [10:16] rfxcasey: that is your turf, so to speak, you can do anything there and you usually don't need root privs [10:16] itson: okay, and what goes wrong when running the command dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [10:16] ardchoille, so can I move all my hidden files to a folder called hidden files and it won't mess anything up [10:17] ziroday nothing comes up, just one line saying "xserver-xorg postinst warning: overwriting possibly-customised configuration file; backup in blabla [10:17] help with udates [10:17] rfxcasey: no, that will indeed cause problems.. leave the hidden files where they are, it's ot hurting anything [10:17] ziroday: The help button in the bottom left describes an old (outdated) version of the program and it is far too sketchy. [10:17] Anyone have any suggestions as to why apt might still be trying to connect to and old proxy which has been removed using the gnome proxy tool [10:17] ardchoille, it just looks so cluttered [10:17] rfxcasey: it does, but you can make nautilus not show hidden files [10:17] bullgard4: well then perhaps you should add and fix up the help file [10:18] rfxcasey: in nautilus, ctrl+h [10:18] ardchoille, yea so do I have to do this everytime I want to see them [10:18] itson: okay, and it doesn't save your new /etc/X11/xorg.conf? [10:18] rfxcasey: it's a toggle, yes [10:18] ziroday: What help file should I add? [10:18] hi, a q about the usb creator in ibex, it works with other...isos? [10:18] it sounded ambiqious [10:18] ziroday , i think there is something wrong because when i delete /etc/X11/xorg.conf [10:18] and then i run that command [10:18] Sertse: I don't believe so, no. [10:18] bullgard4: you should change the help file to reflect its current look [10:19] then it just generates a new xorg.conf file [10:19] ok. So no unetbootin replacement [10:19] it doesnt give me any option to change any settings [10:19] ardchoille, so what about groups how do they work [10:19] Hm, anyone in here interested in writing articles for pay? Looking for these categories: Linux servers, Linux on the Desktop, Multimedia and Linux, Linux Applications, Distro Reviews, Linux Security, Linux Programming, Misc Linux Articles, and Linux Installation articles. Not sure how to go about finding the right people, but I assist with a forum who is lookin' for some articles. Nothing demanding... feel free to PM me for more info. Thanks! [10:19] itson: hmm, what settings are you trying to change? [10:19] ardchoille, that is a bad question I am sorry [10:19] i think i have to select something like vesa or something [10:20] rfxcasey: no, you're trying to learn so please don't hesitate to ask things :) [10:20] chilired: got any ideas regarding the nautilus crashing ? [10:20] rfxcasey: You should read this page: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FilePermissions [10:20] ardchoille, I am what about permissions, if I am the sole user here do I have to allow group access to my files [10:20] itson: okay, you can change that in your /etc/X11/xorg.conf by going to the Section "Device" and changing Driver "whatever" to Driver "vesa" [10:20] ziroday: To change the present help file to what in order that it reflects the current state of the program? [10:21] ziroday but still, i have no mode or modes or whatever in there [10:21] rfxcasey: if you are sole user, you don't have to allow any other users or groups access to your files. But, if you are sole user, then there's no need to worry about someone else reading your files anyway [10:21] Yay! the alternate install worked eventually! n.n [10:21] is "sudo apt-get autoremove" same as the temp cleaner in windows? [10:21] bullgard4: you said that the help file was out of date, I am saying make it up to date [10:21] bs12e: no [10:21] hey gang. i had 8.04 dual booting with vista. from inside 8.04 i did an upgrade to 8.10. now when i boot, vista is missing from my boot loader. how can i re-add it? [10:21] sic: you will have to reload grub i think [10:21] ardchoille, well wouldn't it make security a little tighter? [10:21] itson: that is correct, it generates a minimal xorg.conf, you are free to add those lines in if you want [10:22] rfxcasey: how can anyone else get into the computer to read them? [10:22] ardchoille, I mean I have a wireless access point [10:22] hmm, the usb creator recognizes debian though? [10:22] ziroday: so how do i remove all the junk that i had installed and uninstalled from ubuntu (8.10 btw) [10:22] ardchoille, I am also on the net [10:22] pronoy: i'm pretty new to ubuntu. how do i go about that? [10:22] rfxcasey: Oh, I know nothing about wireless, sorry [10:22] !wireless | rfxcasey [10:22] rfxcasey: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [10:22] bs12e: if you apt-get remove then its been uninstalled... [10:22] sic: wait...i'll give you the link [10:23] pronoy: thanks [10:23] ziroday when i try to change screen resolution though the GUI window in gnome, i have multiple options but those options dont show up in xorg.conf [10:23] is that normal? [10:23] ardchoille, you don't need to know wireless just that it's another open avenue [10:23] itson: that is normal [10:23] rfxcasey: no need to worry about the net, the default install doesn't have anything that allows connections from the net to your computer. This is why the installed firewall rules are blank. [10:23] ziroday: It is not me who wrote the program and I do not know the intentions of the author of the program and the means which he used to accomplish his goal. So I am the wrong person to which you direct your suggestion. [10:23] hi, is there a way to adjust the paging behaviour? i find that my machine becomes completely unusable if i stress memory (unlike my windows box, which "just" becomes very sluggish) I'd rather have it swap out the offending program more aggressively rather than dumping everything else to disk [10:23] ardchoille, I don't understand [10:23] itson: that is just the virtual resolution options...do any of them work if you switch over to them ? [10:24] bullgard4: well you can always contact the gnome authors and offer your help in completing the help files, I am sure they would be most grateful [10:24] ardchoille, ok I know what you mean [10:24] I have (4) desktops enabled - Is there a way to have a different desktop background on each one ? ? [10:24] ardchoille, I had to think about it [10:24] yes pronoy they work, but they are all lower then 1026x6xx something [10:24] rfxcasey: on my machine, after the intstall, there is nothing "listening" for connections to my machine. so if someone tried to connect they are ignored. [10:24] freeatlast: pretty sure you can't [10:24] ardchoille, I am trying to set up sshfs on my network [10:24] i have a huge HD display monitor on geforce 8800 [10:25] Hardy netbooting driving me crazy, DHCP works fine for starting the installation, but when it runs the second time, it times out -- most of the time. Does this sound familiar to anyone? [10:25] rfxcasey: if you're worried, you can always setup the firewall. there is a nice gui to help with that, it's called: firestarter [10:25] ziroday: Your statement is wrong: I cannot always contact the GNOME authors. [10:25] itson: but that is very much due to you using ubuntu _inside_ parallels [10:25] itson: so do you want to increase the resolution ? [10:25] ardchoille, I have dansguardian, firehol and tinyproxy going [10:25] bullgard4: why not? They have mailing lists and such, offer up your help there [10:25] rfxcasey: heh, that's better than what I have :) [10:25] yes pronoy i do. ( i dont understand what u mean ziroday ) [10:26] ardchoille, I can get online so I know that port is open but I don't know that much else about it [10:26] rfxcasey: and I'm a security freak :) [10:26] ziroday, Thanks - I know about compiz but do not want to go there - like my desktop stable - no big deal - thought I would ask. Thanks [10:26] itson: you are running ubuntu inside a parellel's virtualization software correct? [10:26] itson: did you try the xrandr command in the cli [10:26] ziroday: I have made several approaches in the past in this direction, and they failed. [10:26] how do i fix broken gnome xsession anyone? failsafe xsession works, but i have to keep changing session @ login how do i fix this ? [10:26] Hello. Where can I find still working repository URLs for Ubuntu 6.10 Edgy? [10:26] yes i am ziroday [10:27] sic: my internet is a bit slow...you'll have to hang on for a second [10:27] ardchoille, well I wanted to block certain sites, it was a bit of a pain to set up and I don't know that much about those 3 programs and even if I need them all [10:27] no i did not try xrandr command in the cli ( im not sure what that means ) [10:27] itson: right, and the reason you can't get the full resolution you need is probably due to the graphics driver inside the vm [10:27] rfxcasey: dansguardian is good for that [10:27] ardchoille, well what is tinyproxy [10:27] itson: issue man xrandr command in cli and pastebin the output [10:27] vlt: you won't be able to, edgy is end of life already [10:27] getting rid of a non functiong icon in the "Places" area. [10:27] itson: just the xrandr sorry [10:28] no problem. I know my boot location for vista, couldnt i just add it to /boot/grub/menu.lst [10:28] rfxcasey: I don't know. But, just because you can connect _to_ a site doesn't mean that site can successfully connect back to you without your approval [10:28] ? [10:29] sic: its worth a shot..but i guess it'll be safer if you just restore grub [10:29] ardchoille, I only have on thing to say. I love wikipedia [10:29] ok [10:29] ardchoille, anyways [10:29] rfxcasey: Indeed :) [10:29] ziroday: Yes, but if I find a copy of the repo as it was I should be able to install old packages, shouldn't I? [10:29] ardchoille, so how is your security set up [10:29] ziroday but it works really well on my windows XP virtual box. [10:29] Is there any archive URL I could use? [10:29] i've got to reboot. i'll be back in 2 minutes [10:29] Im trying to get rid of a non functioning icon in the "Places" area? ? ? [10:30] sorry pronoy working with really low resolution really hard to get around to putting stuff up on pastebin [10:30] rfxcasey: I allow no connections to my machine, I also use rkhunter and chkrootkit to scan for rootkits daily, I also do not allow email attachments or html email.. my system is pretty locked down. [10:30] ardchoille, See my problem really is I come from a strong Windows background and know just enough about linux to be dangerous [10:31] ardchoille, what about scriptblocker for you web browser [10:31] rfxcasey: Time to unlearn and relearn. But you're with one of the best Linux distros available, so just stick in this channel and learn from what others are doing.. that's what I do. [10:31] rfxcasey: I use noscript and adblock in my firefox [10:31] itson: ok....uh check this out...i am sure it'll help....all you need to know is how to edit the xorg.log....oh did you install nvidia-settings package btw ? [10:32] I want to make an image of the whole physical harddrive with dd. The problem is, the machine is running Windows XP. Any suggestions how I could pull this off? [10:32] is anyone using Optus Wireless Broadband and the E960 modem? [10:32] Perhaps boot with a live CD and tell dd to dump the image on a network drive? [10:32] ardchoille, what is rkhunter [10:32] !rkhunter | rfxcasey [10:32] Sorry, I don't know anything about rkhunter [10:32] !inforkhunter | rfxcasey [10:32] Sorry, I don't know anything about inforkhunter [10:32] Hardy netbooting driving me crazy, DHCP works fine for starting the installation, but when it runs the second time, it times out -- most of the time. Does this sound familiar to anyone? [10:33] rfxcasey: hold on [10:33] pronoy i did not install nvidia-settings package. ( i dont think i have to running in virtual machine ) [10:33] rfxcasey: open a terminal and type: apt-cache show rkhunter [10:33] rfxcasey: That will give you some info about it, you can do that with others too: apt-cache show [10:33] can anyone help me with my xorg and with this?: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/Resolution [10:34] * delcoyote hi [10:34] itson: you are running linux in a virtual machine ? [10:34] Hey... I'm a noob.. I'd like to delete multiple files in multiple subdirectories.. Anyone who knows a way to do it kind of quick ? [10:35] ardchoille, what is MD5 [10:35] maybe use a filemanager [10:35] yes pronoy i am running linux inside virtual machine, ( im on mac running Parallels Desktop ) [10:35] rfxcasey: man md5sum [10:35] moin [10:35] ardchoille, I have heard it mentioned but don't know anything about it [10:35] ardchoille, ok hold on [10:35] tidyboy0558: rm with the -rf parameters. Make *sure* you use a relative path, or else your whole system might go to kingdom come. [10:36] ponoroy: manually adding into menu.lst solved my problem. thanks [10:36] tidyboy0558: That will delete a directory and all its subdirectories. [10:36] hi, ive got a c program telling me the sha1 for a certain file is 3UXJINW6U57KWZVCJ7M62HSSFPJJXZ5Z . openssl and sha1 utitlitys say the sha1 is dd2e9436dea77eab66a24fd9ed1e522bd29be7b9 ..... anybody know the difference? [10:37] ardchoille, refresh my memory what are checksums the amount of bits in a file kept as a reference to see if the file size changed [10:37] AussieGuy, one's in hex, one's in... something else [10:37] sic: cool...i just finished looking up the problem...and guess what solution is to manually add into menu.lst [10:37] sic: :D [10:37] hmmmm [10:37] rfxcasey, a checksum is a bit of data generated from the contents of an entire file [10:37] i really want to know why when i type sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg it doesnt bring up the thiing to configure.. it just generatates a really basic xorg.conf and quits, doesnt ask me to edit anything like screen rez or driver or whatever. [10:37] so itd need to be converted from whatever it is [10:37] if the file changes, the checksum changes [10:37] tidyboy0558: You can run `find` to select the files you want to delete. [10:37] !md5 [10:37] To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/VerifyIsoHowto or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows [10:37] hi [10:37] rfxcasey: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Checksum [10:38] itson: ok..so the only option is to add modelines into the xorg.conf and to do that you need to do man xorg.conf [10:38] i have a problem using firefox with java-plugin.. every time a website that requires java is loaded, firefox gets grey and doesnt do anything anymore, is there any solution? =) [10:38] with which tool can i configure my networking on a server installation? [10:38] woot [10:38] itson: it'll help you how to edit the file [10:38] i dont want to edit all files manually.. [10:38] ardchoille, yeah that is basically what I said [10:38] not quite [10:39] ardchoille, would that be considered metadata [10:39] psypointer, network config is not too much =) maybe search for webmin, but i can't recommend this tool [10:39] rfxcasey: I'm not sure [10:39] qpdb: well, i thought that i can reopen the settings dialog which was shown at the setup.. [10:39] pronoy, i have some experience with xorg.conf but everything is so confusing because i cant input the right values for monitor and for video card and stuff because linux is running under virtual machine. [10:39] ardchoille, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metadata [10:40] tidyboy0558: There's an option "-exec" for `find`. To remove all files ending in .bak older than one week you could run `find ./some_directory -type f -mtime +7 -name "*.bak" -exec rm {} +`, for example. [10:40] ardchoille, I guess it would be [10:40] yeah [10:40] itson: well i edited my xorg.conf to get to 1440 * 900 from 800* 600 but i run only ubuntu...so i guess i am a little short on experience here [10:40] psypointer, mhh try "dpkg-reconfigure " (donno the pkg name) [10:40] tidyboy0558, vlt, even better there's an option -delete [10:41] qpdb: hm nope.. [10:41] amdpox: Thanks, didn't know that ;-) [10:42] Hi, I have installed a 64bit version of Ubuntu, I'm trying to install Skype, but there is no 64 bit version, what to do ? [10:42] sic: just in case for the future http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=24113 [10:42] ardchoille, For example, metadata would document data about data elements or attributes, (name, size, data type, etc) [10:42] <_Drax> So noone knows about 8.10 freezing / kernel panicing?? [10:42] rfxcasey: yep [10:42] ardchoille, that was from wiki [10:42] Thanx guys.. Here's my case.. I have a music-folder, and it's messed up with subdirs any strange files.. I'd like to delete only the .mxm and .riff-files, and keep all of my .mp3-files.. [10:42] Hello. Where can I find old but still working repository URLs for Ubuntu 6.10 Edgy? [10:43] ardchoille, anyways is that checksum attached to the individual file or is it kept in a database of sorts [10:43] tidyboy0558: That's the best case to use `find` for ;-) [10:43] ardchoille, I would guess the file itself [10:43] THX [10:43] ardchoille, maybe like a header [10:43] hi everyone. How can i install glib 1.2 or better on my Intrepid system? what is the package?? [10:43] Can anyone tell me how to fix a borked Xsession? [10:43] rfxcasey: to answer one of your previous questions, you have a folder in your home named .gconf and gnome uses that for config files. If you move it gnome may yell or start with an empty config and your settings will be gone [10:44] ardchoille, but don't let me get side tracked I have a couple more questions if you have the time [10:44] really really want to know why when i run sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg that it just generates a xorg.conf and doesnt come up with giving me any options to choose from like drivers and rez settings. [10:44] hi everyone. How can i install glib 1.2 or better on my Intrepid system? what is the package?? [10:44] I've got one more question. i noticed in firefox when i hit a flash page, i have to click a "play" icon where the flash image is in order to start it. is there any way to make this automatic? [10:44] rfxcasey: no, a checksum is calculated by the user, using md5sum or sha1sum, and returned, it's not attached to the file [10:45] rfxcasey: I'm here for a while, I like to help [10:45] hi everyone. How can i install glib 1.2 or better on my Intrepid system? what is the package?? [10:45] itson, try without the -phigh [10:45] ardchoille, well do you have to do an initial checksum scan of your files to generate a database then [10:45] hey can anyone help me out im on my buddies computer hes using a sony vio with ubunto 8.10 and it perodically freezes/crashes any suggestions? [10:46] after i install xfce, the login screen also changed to xubuntu login.. is there anywhere to restore the normal ubuntu login screen? [10:46] rfxcasey: the only time I checksum a file is when I download an iso, otherwise I don't mess with anything. rkhunter, otoh, does checksumming as part of its checks [10:46] kskrilla: try switching off powersaving in the bios [10:46] bamball: login screen setup, and you can configure it [10:46] Thank [10:46] kk ill give it a go tm [10:46] thanks flannel [10:46] ardchoille, how do you do that [10:47] bamball: the login screen or boot screen ? [10:47] amdpox i did that, and it works, BUT it gives up after it configures the keyboard settings.. [10:47] rfxcasey: checksum a file? md5sum /path/file [10:47] ardchoille, what do you check it against? [10:48] the thing is when he ran 8.04 he had no issues after he uppgraded to the beta of 8.10 via apt-get and then went thru all the updates to get to the present it just started doing this last week [10:48] the login screen [10:48] rfxcasey, a file in the same place with same name with .md5 suffixed [10:48] rfxcasey: when you download an iso, the webpage usually has a checksum to check it against or a file of checksums to check [10:48] ardchoille, ok that is kinda what I though but wasn't sure [10:49] need help with package updates [10:49] arthur: please be more specific [10:49] <_Drax> If you upgraded to 8.10 from 8.04 with do-release-upgrade is it possible to go back to 8.04 without having to "format/install again 8.04 all over again" [10:49] libpoppler _glib3 on hardy8.04 [10:49] bamball: then i guess the login screen tab in your administrator is the way === Exteris_ is now known as Exteris [10:50] yeah got it thankz pronoy [10:50] arthur: you can update your system with: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get safe-upgrade [10:51] Any idea where to look for old but still working repository URLs for Ubuntu 6.10 Edgy? [10:52] ardchoille, so if I download a program dpkg where is the best directory to put the files [10:53] ardchoille, for instance if I download the teamspeak package and unzip it where would I put it usr? [10:53] rfxcasey: first of all it's best to stay with the repos, always check the repos for an app before you download an app, use the repo version over any other things you download. If you download a package that isn't in the repos, put it where you want [10:53] rfxcasey: But, if you manually download a package and install it, the package manager won't do any version managing [10:54] Is anyone using wmii 2.5 as in the ibex repos? I could use a little help in getting a proper wmiirc file. Thanks [10:54] ardchoille, well were do all those repo programs end up? [10:54] rfxcasey: the place you put the .deb usually isn't the place it installs to. So put it in your home folder [10:55] hello can some one tel me the way to configure web cam on hardy? [10:55] rfxcasey: the stuff the package manager installs is placed in /var/cache/apt/archive and you can clean that out if you need: sudo apt-get clean [10:55] Hello [10:55] !info libqt4-dev [10:55] ardchoille, what do you mean by clean it out? [10:55] libqt4-dev (source: qt4-x11): Qt 4 development files. In component main, is optional. Version 4.4.3-0ubuntu1 (intrepid), package size 5571 kB, installed size 26988 kB [10:56] i need to know how i can associate my web cam with vlc to capture video [10:57] ardchoille, so after this man rkhunter how do I get my terminal back to normal? [10:57] rfxcasey: the packages that are downloaded by the package manager are kept in /var/cache/apt/archive, you need to manually clean it out if needed. I think synaptic can clean it out for you but I don't use synaptic [10:57] so anyone else have any ideas on why 8.04 worked fine but when i updraded to 8.10 they system periodically crashes/freezes, imusing a sony vio [10:57] rfxcasey: type q [10:58] ardchoille, ah, you are cool [10:58] ardchoille, I have been wondering how you do that [10:58] :) [10:58] lol [10:59] rfxcasey: you can usually type "man tar" or "man cp" (without quotes) in firefox and it'll show you a man page about an app [11:00] man man [11:00] ardchoille, why would you need to "clean out" apt [11:00] kskrilla: be more specific [11:00] ardchoille, or not apt but um whatever [11:00] rfxcasey: over time all those packages can take up disk space [11:01] rfxcasey: open a terminal and run: ls /var/cache/apt/archive [11:01] ardchoille, oh I see so the packages (like zips lets say) are stored there and then the programs are installed from the packages? [11:01] rfxcasey: right [11:01] ardi_kk: what webcam are you using ? [11:02] ardchoille, wow didn't really think about that [11:02] im have g of ram, im on my friends computer ill be chillin out bs'in on the comp and without warning the system will crash heck it even roze on the screensave a couple times and the only way it seems as if i can get out is by a restart, when he had hardy it worked great but with intrepid it freezes up from time to time [11:02] rfxcasey: you can even burn those to a cd for use later on a machine that doesn't have net access [11:02] !aptoncd | rfxcasey [11:02] rfxcasey: APTonCD is a tool with a graphical interface which allows you to create one or more CDs or DVDs with all of the packages you've downloaded via apt-get or aptitude, creating a removable repository that you can use on other computers [11:02] Flannel: Thanks, I was trying to remember that [11:03] ardchoille, even so I could back them up my server and make things fasters I suppose [11:03] sure [11:03] Hello... I can connect to my wireless network with a DHCP-assigned IP without problem, but when I set it up as manual it does not want to connect [11:03] I found it: deb http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ edgy main restricted [11:03] I'm 100% sure I set up the right settings in there... [11:04] vlt: You're aware edgy is EOL, right? [11:04] MrBougo: some routers are touchy and won't give access unless they've given the IP [11:04] I'm trying to set that in the network manager by the way [11:04] i'm trying to add a pdf printer on ubuntu 8.10, i've install cups-pdf package but it doon't work .. i'm looking for up to date documentation ... any tips ? [11:05] Flannel: Yes, sure. I just need to install a package on an old (but working) Edgy install. [11:05] Sorcererbob1, I could get a static IP on the same router, same machine, under windows xp [11:05] ardchoille, ls: cannot access /var/cache/apt/archive: No such file or directory [11:05] how do i install AWN 0.3.1 ? [11:05] rfxcasey: /var/cache/apt/archives sorry for the typo [11:06] ardchoille, so what does that do? [11:06] from command line, how to check status of daemons listed in /etc/init.d? === Sorcererbob1 is now known as Sorcererbob === recon is now known as Guest3815 [11:06] ardchoille, where are you located? It is like 6 am here [11:06] rfxcasey: what does ls do? It lists all files in a directory [11:06] people, what packages do i miss? http://paste.ubuntu.com/69072/, i have ubuntu-restricted-extras and w32codecs installed [11:07] ardchoille, no I mean why would I look in that dir [11:07] why do people use text editors like vi/emacs? [11:07] it's painful [11:07] jimcooncat: in 8.10, sudo service --status-all [11:07] rfxcasey: to see how much is being help there, just an example of how the package manager stores things [11:08] Flannel: thanks, but using gutsy (I think) [11:08] vi is fast [11:08] faster than gedit? [11:08] I want to convert all the eps files in a folder to pdf, I used the following command a2ping, how can I do that ? [11:08] inktri: some of us like cli-based editors :) [11:08] ardchoille, oh well I ran apt-get clean first so I guess it emptied it out, does that sound right? [11:08] how do i install AWN 0.3.1 ? [11:08] I've seen solutions involving editing some file for my hardware [11:08] inktri: Certainly more powerful, and generally faster, yes. [11:08] rfxcasey: yes, it's emptied out. I do that once a week [11:08] but the problem is that I need this static IP on that specific network [11:08] ardchoille, what time is it where you are if you don't mind my asking [11:08] I use other networks too, with different IPs [11:09] leohartx, you have to add the ppa for the trunk Branch [11:09] maybe with ps? how to check for running daemons [11:09] rfxcasey: 03:09:06 PST 2008 [11:09] i'm trying to add a pdf printer on ubuntu 8.10, i've install cups-pdf package but it doon't work .. i'm looking for up to date documentation ... any tips ?

I have added a security exception for the web interface, but it keeps asking me for a certificate I don't have [11:38] I'm completely new to Linux and have just installed Ubuntu. I want to access the Linux drive from Windows using "fs-driver". The disk gets mounted but I can't access it. Windows wants to format it! The "mountdiag" tool says I need to reformat the file system, giving the mkfs.ext3 utility the -I 128 switch. HOW am I supposed to format the drive that Ubuntu is installed on? [11:38] dont do it?

[11:39] I upgraded 8.04 -> 8.10 [11:39] _Drax, I don't have that [11:39] why can't i do man 3 printf? [11:39] E2IFS on windows tells me to format when Ubuntu doesn''t tie off the journal properly [11:40] amdpox: yes, i think so :) [11:40] kelvin911, right click on your panel and add the applet [11:40] and it is an epic fail: most programs got removed. I was upgrading by hand since the upgrade installer from alternate cd is broken [11:40]  bonkeman:there is an utility you got to install in windows, one mom, looking it up [11:40] what applet is that?i cant find it [11:40] dasEi: yeah, it's fs-driver, that's what i used... but that's what he's using... :-S [11:41] Yup, fs-driver [11:41] i found it [11:41] hardware moniter? [11:41] sounds right [11:42] bonkerman: fs-driver worked for me just fine; the reboot-ubuntu-safely seems like a good approach at this time. also, restarting windows helped for me (you will almost certainly need to restart after installing fs-driver) [11:42] my mixxx does not work any more - i think the skin is broken because every time i try to change it it simply closes imediately could anyone help me please? [11:42] i cant believe my cpu is 40 degrees now [11:42] i need to clean the fan [11:43] could someone please help me set up nvidia drivers on my laptop . The Hardware Manager shows nvidia drivers but then i click activate and put in my password, nothing happens !! [11:43] last time i was in windows maybe month ago my cpu was about 31 degrees [11:43]  bonkeman: its ext2ifs, see :http://www.fs-driver.org/download.html [11:43] kelvin911: my cpu is 56 degrees atm, was 82 degrees yesterday... they can take a lot =P [11:43] fs-driver says that the file system has an unequal size to 128 bytes. Should be 256 [11:43] Hi, is it possible to install Ubuntu on an existing encrypted LVM? [11:43] it's summer [11:43] how do i know the cpu reading is accurate? [11:43] kelvin911, you don't [11:44] how do i get displayconfig-gtk to run? [11:44] Is mtp support broken in Ubuntu 8.04 ? for portable media player [11:45] whats a good utility that will give me the sha1 for a file, in base32? [11:45] dmizer: call it from terminal; backup done ? [11:45] dmizer: alt-f2, then type "gksudo displayconfig-gtk", then enter, is one way. really, though, the screen resolution thing in the system menu should be enough [11:46] DasEi blahbleh: i get an error which says "could not open display" when i try to run it from the terminal [11:46] dmizer: can you run anything from the terminal? try xeyes [11:46] Question: I need to run a script which takes user input just before GDM starts - Where do I put this? ( Ive tried /etc/rc3.d/S29script, and also to add it to /etc/rc3.d/S30gdm = no go, GDM just fires up anyway ) [11:46] dmizer : gksu dispalyconfig-gtk doesn't work from terminal ? [11:47] AussieGuy: YAY AUSSIE WHOOO! also, if you're at one with the command line, try installing sleuthkit (in the repositories). then, at the commandline, type "sha1 putfilenamehere" [11:47] Lau_of_DK: what does this script do? How do you plan on entering input? [11:47] that gives me the sha1 in hex format, not base32 [11:48] echo "question" ; read answer @ jrib [11:48] how do I get a directory tree (like the left hand side of the windows explorer) on Ubuntu? [11:48] DasEi i have no display working at all. i need to reconfigure my display. i used to be able to perform this action by running dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg, but that is no longer functional. i have no idea how to select the proper video card for my computer now. (not nvidia) [11:48] ok, i have read the wifi docs, but they aren't helping. Who has an atheros card that can help me [11:48] Lau_of_DK: yeah I understand how to get input in a shell script, but that's not what I asked [11:48] jrib, I plan on entering it on the keyboard [11:49] Lau_of_DK: what does this script do? [11:49] It choose between to versions of xorg.conf, one for home, one for work [11:49] @ jrib [11:49] anyone? tree view in my file explorer? [11:50] anyone , nvidia drivers on ubuntu 8.10 [11:50] dmizer:paste your xorg.conf: sudo apt-get install pastebinit [11:50] in the context of linux, what is a "descriptor"? as in, file descriptor, network layer descriptor .. etc [11:50] *paste [11:50] Lau_of_DK: the easy solution I see is to not start gdm automatically, login to a tty, then run xwork or xhome that starts X with the correct xorg.conf. However, are you sure you need to do it this way? hotplug should let automatically detect what you have connected? What is it that you need to setup 2 xorg.conf for? [11:50] jeeves_Moss click on place on the top of the place list [11:51] then choose tree [11:51] DasEi: xorg.conf has no display information in it at all. [11:51] rabe, where is it? [11:51] dmizer: pastebinit /etc/X11/xorg.conf [11:51] right under the foreward and backward buttons [11:51] dmizer: url from last cmd ? [11:52] jrib, I need the script because something is not working automatically. But I guess I can use some of what your saying. If I remove S30gdm then instead put in my own S30script and from the last line of that "exec gdm", then that would give the right result? [11:52] rabe, I'm moving a bunch of single files out of directories, so I need to be able to see a tree view so I can just click the next dir after I'm done moving the main file [11:52] ok, i just hooked up a HDMI screen, but for some reason the resolution is crap and the desktop seems to renter partly outside the borders of the screen [11:52] does 8.10 work on PS3? anyone tried? [11:53] Lau_of_DK: something like that might work. You should at least file bugs if it's not working automatically so it does in the future [11:53] do you see a table on the left of the main window? [11:53] need some help with atheros, whos gonna help out? [11:53] DasEi http://pastebin.con/f25969a4b [11:53] jrib, I havea brand new Lenovo laptop, theres several things not working.

[13:10] <|neon|> i am having a strange problem, i can changed my desktop settings and everything looks ok, once i reboot my settings are lost everytime, i tried using session manager but no luck any ideas on how can i get the settings to stay after reboot === kostas1 is now known as ntinos_ [13:11] user1_: much thx [13:11] geev: your decision, could also format it to fat or ntfs, but hten you don't have the linux features, journalling /e2fsck for it [13:11] Frogzoo: but it seems quite nice overall [13:11] Welshman I have read that this is a issue, but have seen no fix info [13:11] user1_: will give it a couple weeks just in case [13:11] works perfect for me [13:12] just like suse did before [13:12] no suse is nothing but problems [13:12] its amazing how pc's like a particular distro [13:13] yes for sure it seems to depend on the hardware configs [13:13] welshman: any idea? print test page was no problem [13:13] MnemonicPunk, user1_: gdebi is the way to install a .deb with dependency resolution... [13:13] my new pc was made for bunt I think [13:13] nijm: I'll be off soon, but you can either allow a user to mount or see : http://packages.ubuntu.com/de/source/hardy/libpam-mount [13:13] my previous hated it [13:14] so far this one likes it [13:14] good [13:14] just need to sort your network stuff now [13:14] Does anyone know how to edit .vob videoclips? [13:14] I am running 3 seperate opsys on it from 3 seperate drives [13:14] yes sir [13:14] still working it [13:15] jrib: Alright, thanks for pointing that out. [13:15] just need that break [13:15] jrib: Btw, you here a little longer? [13:15] chatman try looking in software with the word vob [13:15] audacity comes to mind [13:15] MnemonicPunk: leaving as soon as I finish my breakfast, so a few minutes [13:15] jrib: I'll have to make a 8.10 install for a friend in a few minutes and his PC is known to screw up anything in unexpexted ways. ^^ [13:16] I would love to find some really good at this I have about 60 computers in a school to convert and a server to setup [13:16] Okay. ^^ [13:16] <|neon|> i am having a strange problem, i can changed my desktop settings and everything looks ok, once i reboot my settings are lost everytime, i tried using session manager but no luck any ideas on how can i get the settings to stay after reboot [13:16] Stoneheart you like difficult problems by the sounds [13:16] hi, I'm using Intrepid. How would I go about listing all packages using backports? Thanks. [13:16] !clonig>Stonehart [13:16] Sorry, I don't know anything about clonig [13:16] !cloning>Stonehart [13:17] No I love a challenge and will get it done over time [13:17] Stoneheart: What do you want to do? Mass-install Ubuntu? [13:17] !clone>Stonehart [13:17] Stoneheart buntu offers professional help as well [13:17] 60 pcs is cool [13:17] Yes but this school is poor. [13:18] So I am learning quickly [13:18] not sure what bunt charge to get you up and running [13:18] possible one off support request aetc I bet [13:18] I gots: /dev/sdd1 /media/LOCAL_DISK vfat auto,users,rw,relatime 0 0 in my fstab [13:18] !automate>Stonehart [13:18] Microsoft wants about 50000usd to get them upgraded [13:18] but it's only right to root [13:18] Stoneheart, why don't you do a server install and then do a network install to each pc [13:18] it say rw [13:18] what wrong there? [13:18] Stoneheart well I doubt it will be like that amount [13:19] schools prolly get reductions as well [13:19] With ubuntu it will be free [13:19] exactly [13:19] that is with the reductions [13:19] Stoneheart, Or maybe do a kickstart config so you can install many machines the same [13:19] one support will incure a charge though [13:19] one off [13:20] Our school got pretty cheap volume licenses for Win XP pro and Win2k3 server. Still, Ubuntu would be way cheaper. :D [13:20] DasEi: Thank you for your support and i decided to format it to fat32 since i will work to computer with winds, i lean many things though this exercise [13:20] of course, thats the whole point of Ubuntu [13:20] geev: you're welcome, nice to hear [13:20] Yes problem is the hardware it older p4 1.8 512 ram 20 gig hd's [13:20] and? [13:20] most are p3 with 256 ram 20 gig hd's [13:20] this is linux not windows [13:21] geev: make sure to safely remove /unmount it to avoid problems [13:21] Stoneheart: As long as they have netboot, you can easily install *buntu on them all. o.o [13:21] how can I make gnome-terminal not use alt- to switch to tab ? [13:21] I am going to be learning big time over the next few months [13:22] werdan7 [13:22] Stoneheart, personally I would get the alternative ubuntu install, burn off about 10 disks and do a OEM install on 10 machines at a time [13:23] that is what I was planning [13:23] Stoneheart last thing you want to do is mess up [13:23] is it just me, or is the http://start.ubuntu.com/8.10/ page just aweful?! [13:24] Stoneheart, it will be the simplest way to go about it. [13:24] I would make a plan and put it to your boss [13:24] DasEi: i appreciate you advice my computer was i prob 2 times due to that when i wasnt able to unmout flash but now days i take care [13:24] Mechdave my problem is net working. I need to make sure I can still use some windows prog thru wine. [13:24] involving some pro support to get the change done [13:24] Guys... I currently have 4GB of RAM... I'm unsure wether I should keep 32-bit and have access to only 3GB or just go 64-bit and have access to the full 4GB? How is Flash currently working on Intrepid through nspluginwrapper? [13:24] Stoneheart, what programs do you need to use? [13:24] Stoneheart: Wine is good but not reliable, check the Win apps you want to use with the appDB first. [13:25] Not sure Some educational stuff not offered on the bunt side yet. This school is pre-k thru high school [13:25] DasEi: i have another prob hear if you have more time let check if it can be corrected [13:25] only apps linux cant handle would be flash editors etc [13:26] geev: so ? [13:26] np with office stuff [13:26] hi all! is python installed by default in itrepid ? [13:26] email [13:26] Stoneheart, maybe do 1 computer and install wine and then experiment with your software first, and also check with the appDB too [13:27] all hi [13:27] Stoneheart sounds like you have a good job :) [13:27] hey guys,does anyone know when /etc/environment is beeing read - when the changes take effect [13:27] get it all over to bunt and save a lot of cash and you be in the good books :) [13:28] DasEi: when i want to download update some link says hit or failed on synaptic package manager [13:28] lol ubottu knows about the bofh and pfy :D [13:29] geev check where you are getting updates from and try a different source [13:29] has the new ubuntu no /etc/apt/sources.list ? i am helping a friend who is using 8.10 but he says there is no such file (live cd) [13:29] Hi! What kernel modules run laptop keyboards/touchpads? [13:29] geev: sudo apt-get update [13:29] DasEi: can i do something so will no more failure or hit or isnt a problem to me [13:29] DIFH-iceroot: There should be one. o.O [13:29] brb [13:29] MnemonicPunk: hm, ok [13:30] whole of freck police force have gone Ubuntu :) [13:30] hmm [13:30] *French [13:30] hi, can someone tell me how I should apply the patch from https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg-server/+bug/259808/comments/48 ? [13:30] My update-manager is.. kinda hung [13:30] DIFH-iceroot: Maybe the disc has errors or something else went wrong during boot? [13:30] geev: does the last cmd give errors ? [13:30] Hello. Are some analogs of evers (on windows) to look temperatur of CPU and analogic? [13:30] MnemonicPunk: no, its a normal live-system === Stoneheart is now known as stoneheart [13:31] it applies on a git version of X so I cannot patch the sources I get from apt-get source (there are older) [13:31] Last action was "Stopping Bluetooth Services" [13:31] DIFH-iceroot: I know that my 8.10 had one. So it's strange that yours doesn't. [13:31] cat /proc/cpuinfo gives a lot of info, not sure about temp though [13:31] Insomnia1ity: I guess they're often treated like mice (not all of course). To see the modules available in vanilla kernel, doenload kernel source, unpack, do "make manuconfig" and have a look. [13:31] MnemonicPunk: but this is a live system not a normal install [13:32] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=975137 [13:32] Insomnia1ity: ehm, damned typos: make menuconfig, of course [13:32] DIFH-iceroot: there would be a sources.list with the CD listed as a source [13:32] do you not have sensors-applet ? [13:32] DasEi: the some error ignore and fail do you need a paste-bin for it? [13:32] Hi I just install Ubuntu 8.10 on my computer. I have a Nvidia 7800 GS with 512MB memory. I have the Nvidia 177.80 driver loaded and working. However, I am having drawing issues with Metacity and AWN. [13:32] echinos: ok, so normaly there is one [13:32] Plater, you talking to me? [13:32] Plater there probably is [13:32] DIFH-iceroot: yep [13:32] geev: yes [13:32] dent: hmm. [13:32] echinos: ok thx [13:32] used one before in gnome a while ago [13:32] dent: my problem is that my laptop keyboard/touchpad have stopped working in both livecd and install [13:32] <_cb> I have this tracker tool installed as part of Ubuntu. What does it do? How do I use it? [13:33] Insomnia1ity: hmm... try to investigate kernel log [13:33] dent: I figured that rmmodding and modprobing the keyboard module might help [13:33] hi [13:33] dent: yeah, am reading dmesg now [13:33] Insomnia1ity, use keyboard. [13:33] Plater amd do some linux software [13:33] oh both [13:33] DasEi: look this http://paste.ubuntu.com/69213/ [13:33] Insomnia1ity: similar think happened to me years ago; the thing was that there was a specific module added and my touchpad got treated "specially", thus breaking what was working before :-/ [13:33] obey me, I am root. [13:34] c0re_: lol [13:34] someone asked about temp sensors, on ubunutu you can can get that applet [13:34] dent: hmmm [13:34] for a windows system, there are a few free products that do similar things, but they are not as good, in my opinion [13:34] geev: that's ok, let me see : sudo apt-get install pastebin [13:35] Plater search the software repos [13:35] I have a problem: after a wrong cmd (apt-get --purge autoremove mono*) now I have no audio. and I don't know how to fix it. Ideas? [13:35] geev: pastebin /etc/apt/sources.list ,url ? [13:35] i have it and its working, was suggesting for other people [13:35] btw. anybody else having fights about wired networks with the network manager applet in ibex, or is it only me? :) [13:35] when installing from the alternate cd you can choose for encrypted LVM. That is great, but can I then still add a separate /home partition or can I only go with the standard settings? [13:36] phanter: can separate [13:37] DasEi: i wanted to pastebin through in that way but am not good enough with linux command [13:37] DasEi hi [13:37] geev hi [13:38] magical hi [13:38] geev: sudo apt-get install pastebin [13:38] geev: pastebin /etc/apt/sources.list [13:38] I think as a database sqlite and make it work in gambas2 ????????? === solid_li` is now known as solid_liq [13:38] I think as a database sqlite and make it work in gambas2 ?????????

[13:38] geev: url from terminal ? [13:39] dent: any idea which modules? what make of laptop was it? [13:39] DasEi: every time i need to istall this because i have installed before do you remember? [13:39] Insomnia1ity: don't remember the module, but it was >3 yrs ago on a prehistoric noname gericom/clevo laptop :) [13:39] geev: install pastebin once [13:39] !pastebin [13:39] pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic) [13:39] heh [13:40] !umask [13:40] Sorry, I don't know anything about umask [13:40] hello, somebody here who can help me with an apparmor-problem? [13:40] hi, is there a way to add the guest acsess out of 8.10 to gdm? [13:40] Insomnia1ity: if you "make menuconfig" with recent kernel, you can see what touchpad drivers are available [13:40] geev: you can use pastebin to post files or outputs from cmd's [13:40] isa webpigeon here? [13:40] dent: will try that, thanks [13:41] Insomnia1ity: on a side note, I still am using the laptop occasionaly :) [13:41] haha [13:41] problems installing rpm package on ubuntu 8.10 [13:41] hello, somebody here who can help me with an apparmor-problem?

How would I go about listing all packages using backports? Thanks. [13:42] Insomnia1ity: I remember I forced the touchpad to be treated like ps2 mouse somehow [13:42] I can try to dig it up [13:43] anyone here who is using dial up? [13:43] dent: dmesg indicates it already is a PS/2 mouse [13:43] hm [13:43] robert__: did you read the stuff about alien being dangerous and unsupported? [13:43] emorris: you can see them at packages.ubuntu.com [13:44] DasEi: check this http://paste.ubuntu.com/69216/ [13:44] yea, this new install of 8.10 also told me in terminal to use alien to open rpm packages [13:44] ziroday: ah, sorry, I meant all the ones which I have installed [13:44] emorris: ah right, not sure about that. Sorry [13:44] f???

[13:52] is there a way to go through a few thousand videos files and have VLC repair them?

Read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DialupModemHowto - Also try disabling/removing KNetworkManager if KDE applications cannot connect using dial-up [14:06] !anyone | c0re_ [14:06] c0re_: 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? [14:06] how can i disable the freakin caps lock key on my keyboard? :) [14:06] irfan: try ask in #ubuntu-pk [14:06] ziroday: give me your email adderess [14:07] Welshman: I'll let you know if this works [14:07] how do you get audacity to play while firefox is open [14:07] irfan: umm, no thank you [14:07] done i have to start something over in inti.d [14:07] ziroday: why [14:07] Jakob_the_liar, open audacity while ff does not use any sound [14:07] irfan: because its personal [14:07] etc it should do, but sort the driver fist [14:07] j2daosh: i removed the key from my keyboard...

[14:08] there is supposed to be some area i can map it as something else... where is that at? [14:08] c0re_: right, what's your current way of starting your dial-up [14:08] ziroday: why you do not give me your id [14:08] c0re_, first you'll have to setup your dialup , use the instructions ubottu gave you , then you add the dialup launch line to the /etc/rc.local file [14:08] How do I turn of gnome and only start terminal? [14:09] geev:it would be the /etc/apt/sources.list file, you can edit it with gksudo /etc/apt/sources.list, this file tells apt from where to load updates [14:09] init 3 [14:09] Ahtenus: init 3? [14:09] or init 5 i think [14:09] emorris, pppd call gp [14:09] Ahtenus, I'M sure you can fine something about that in the forum , search for boot command line or boot console mode , www.ubuntuforums.org [14:09] purist is init 3 :) [14:09] How come my up left/right keys are correct in the vtty but in gnome it gives me some weird keybindings with up as "print screen"? [14:10] :P [14:10] matthias_N: what wireless card do you have? [14:10] ziroday: ok as you want now i am going for prayer ok bye [14:10] j2daosh: ok [14:10] Welshman: I used ctrl-alt-backspace and logged back in. Nothing changed. [14:10] Ahtenus, sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop then + ctrl + F1 - f8 [14:10] ziroday: a broadcom card [14:10] Hi all! I am looking for the package lists for ubuntu CD vs. DVD. [14:10] its a reboot command [14:10] emorris: thanks for that. . . all fixed now [14:10] ziroday: see you again [14:10] sudo init 3 I guess [14:10] Welshman: I'll give it a shot [14:10] Ahtenus, To start gnome sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start [14:10] debian man here at the moment [14:11] matthias_N: exact model? Also are you running hardy or intrepid? [14:11] sharperguy: this happened to me. open a terminal and type sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg and follow the instructions. mostly the defaults will do. then log off and on again [14:11] ziroday: 8.10 upgraded today ... [14:11] can-o-worms: np [14:11] emorris, thanks, ill try that (first response in about a week i've been asking related questions) [14:11] matthias_N: great, and exact model? Also have you tried System > Administration > Hardware Drivers? [14:11] ModestUser, I can tell you that the dvd contains the complete universe and restricted repositories, or is it univers and multiverse , can't remember [14:11] I am trying to download the newest version of Ubuntu and I am using utorrent via wine and I am use my ntfs partition and I get this error access denied ? how can I get that fixed [14:12] Ahtenus, or you could sudo update-rc.d -f gdm remove and stop gdm starting ( login manger ) and will log you into terminal , startx to start gnome [14:12] geev: http://blog.mypapit.net/2007/08/how-to-get-fastest-ubuntu-apt-get-repository-server-with-synaptic.html [14:12] tarelerulz, your ntfs partition is probably just read only , you'll need to mount it with fuse , sudo apt-get get install ntfs-config then run it [14:13] sharperguy: this will remove any custom configfiguration you have made, unfortunately. It will, however, back up your old xorg.conf and tell you where it puts it. [14:13] ziroday: let me try to find out what model it is, i am an laptop dell with wireless card for wireless n as well, the hardware drivers are in state green but maybe just not activated, i guess, but hold on let me chenck what wireless card i can have ... [14:13] matthias_N: if pastebin the command lspci I can tell you :) [14:13] geev: the above link is easy to follow, no need to edit sources.list, then, could help you [14:13] hello [14:14] ziroday: thanks ...

[14:15] DasEi: thanks let me follow the instruction [14:15] I'm trying to install the JMF classes on Ubuntu, but I get some errors and I've seen many of them with those errors. Anybody has a solution? [14:15] it's ubuntu related. divx on mac os x has a feature where after you leave the window's focus it will fade out all of the chrome [14:15] so you're left with a floating video [14:15] ziroday: this url i guess but now i am drowning you with info ...http://pastebin.com/d5ad0c8f6 [14:16] tarelerulz, then I don'T know , that was my only guess, just dl it to your ext3 partiton, or download it via ftp and save it to the ntfs partition [14:16] does anyone know of such a video player for linux? [14:16] Hi all, how to enable acceleated graphics in Ubuntu v8.04?

Thanks for the wakeup slap [14:17] matthias_N: you have a Broadcom Corporation BCM4328, can you verify the b43-fwcutter package is installed [14:17] So for some reason I can only connect to my local CUPS server only directly after I boot [14:17] jadams_, not sure what you mean by floating video [14:17] all of my window borders are gone. can someone help me? (compiz uninstalled) [14:17] ziroday: but i have the old driver for the wireless card installed as i wan see [14:17] Pe1o, think a 'picture in picture' function [14:18] Pe1o, I found one way to 'cheat' my way to it. I can fullscreen a vlc cideo, then use the compiz 'shelf' function to scale it down [14:18] et3, using compiz ? ask in #compiz, you probably just need to reactivate the decorator [14:18] ziroday: how do i do that [14:18] then alt+click to drag it where I want [14:18] et3: try to start metacity manually in a terminal, open a terminal and type "metacity" [14:18] matthias_N: one sec [14:18] jadams_, I'm gonna guess mplayer, try asking in #mplayer [14:18] SimoneB: alright [14:18] emorris, Can't exactly say that helped... gdm is now in dvorak and it didn't help the problem while logged into gnome [14:18] Pe1o, thanks [14:18] I just set my media player to always be 'ontop' :) [14:18] I need to make it so that I can always connect to the print server [14:18] emilien: ok got the first part about sudo update-rc.d.... but stop gdm starting doesn't work...

My computer is HP dv2310us, NVIDIA Geforce Go 6150 [14:19] hello all [14:19] matthias_N: can you sudo apt-get install b43-fwcutter [14:19] Hello, everyone. I use 'find . -name *.mxm' to locate some files.. How can I delete them i the same operation ? [14:19] SimoneB: still no borders [14:19] sharperguy: ok, well you can move the backed up xorg.conf over the existing xorg.conf [14:19] thanhfedora, start by installing the restricted driver , menu > sys> admin > restricted drivers , should be accelerated by default [14:19] Afterwards when I try to connect to CUPS it says httpConnectionEncrypt failed in the printer GUI [14:19] emorris, ok, i'll start with that [14:20] morning all [14:20] Anyone have issues with Openoffice's titlebar flickering when you hover over the close/minimize/maximize buttons?

[14:21] xomp: Heh. In this case it's just the titlebar. It'll turn white if you stop in a specific spot, rendering it unreadable. [14:21] sharperguy: fair enough [14:21] mtozses_, what file system is it ? [14:21] Deiz, maybe theme related? Or perhaps compiz? [14:21] Probably the latter.

I am trying to get Ubuntu 8.10 [14:23] tarelerulz: yes, as long as you get the desktop cd rather than the alternate [14:24] tarelerulz, there are 3 iso , one is the dvd , one is the live cd and one the alternate isntall cd, you can install ubuntu from all of them , the live cd also has an installer [14:24] tarelerulz, images.ubuntu.com/8.10 , the desktop cd is the live/install one, alternate is the non-live superconfigurable one [14:24] * Pe1o waves to nickrud [14:24] Pe1o, I see it under Places, I click on it and nothing happens === ziroday` is now known as ziroday [14:24] * nickrud waves back, happily [14:24] mtozses_, what file system is it ? ext3 , ext2, ntfs, fat32 ?

[14:27] cordor: look at sun download site [14:28] is there a way to put .swp as a background?

[14:29] hi [14:29] im new on linux and i have a problem.. [14:29] !ask [14:29] 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. :-) [14:29] Johan-UbuntuNewb, just ask your question [14:29] Paddy_EIRE: if It use it as well as Konqueor . It had that great filter feature view . File size view was great with it too. [14:29] i cant get my wifi towork on my laptop [14:29] legend2440, thx :) [14:30] cordor, there's an option on the os window to 'add guest addtions; then mount the cd (a virtual one) and it'll be in /media/cdrom0 [14:30] Johan-UbuntuNewb: [14:30] theme configuration files, I can finde them [14:30] tarelerulz: yeah konqueror is sexy but I like my minimal spatial browser [14:30] how long does it take gparted to move an 100gb ext3 partition? minutes or hours? i wonder if it hangs here... [14:30] I'm new to ubuntu. I upgraded from previous LTS to 8.10 and now have crash, sound, and graphics problems. I'm thinking about going back to Hearty Heron since everything worked. As a beginner, is this best, or should I try to troubleshoot? [14:30] Pe1o, I have no problems with that. but isn't id supposed to automount? [14:30] Johan-UbuntuNewb: the problem some times may be just turning on the wifi :) [14:30] If anyone is familiar with infobot, for some reason it takes ignores the "flags" option for the designated users which are allowed to add/update the factoids and have the proper flags for that. The default is an empty flags entry and that's what's aplied even to the designated users' flags, making them unable to manipulate factoids. Any ideas what I'm missing? [14:30] id=it [14:30] Johan-UbuntuNewb: have you checked in System>Adminisration>Restricted Drivers to see if one is available? [14:30] otwin: it will take a good while [14:30] otwin: perhaps an hour or so [14:31] otwin: it also gives the appearance that it is hung [14:31] it is available.. an i think i got it rigght but i cant serch for networks [14:31] mtozses_, it is , but is doesn't for some reason, so we'll try to mount it manualy and figure out the problem , I'm actualy guessing that the usb flash drive is borked , you might need to format it, does it work in other computers ?

[14:32] Johan-UbuntuNewb: ok, so you checked the box, allowed it to install the firmware (if applicable) then rebooted? [14:32] Can anyone tell me what I need to do to re-install the network in Hardy? I think I broke it by trying to bridge the Virtualbox guest machine. [14:32] Pe1o, yes it works in other computers [14:32] Paddy_Eire, If nautilus could some of the stuff Konqueror as well. If it just was better web browser and system wide search worked I would use it all the time. [14:32] yes [14:32] mtozses_, ok so try and mount it manualy then [14:32] Pe1o, I did [14:33] mtozses_, and ? [14:33] Pe1o, it mounted fine [14:33] tarelerulz: nautilus is supposed to be minimal and clean.. dont bog it down with unneeded "features/bloat" I would happily switch over to kde if I needed those things... leave nautilus alone ;( [14:33] Johan-UbuntuNewb: and nothing's listed when you click on the network manager icon? [14:33] Paddy_EIRE: ok, then i'll let it do its work - thx [14:34] otwin: cool [14:34] shit.. i have bin workin all night to get it right and my router is turned wifi off.. now it works.. feel like a moron.. [14:34] mtozses_, ok so something else is not working , that's as far as I can take you , try searching the forum for usb automount , or some such , or ask here again , stating that it mounts manualy just not automaticaly [14:34] tarelerulz: gnome is gnome kde is kde [14:34] :P [14:34] Johan-UbuntuNewb, :) been there done that... well not lately... when i was young...

[14:35] looks lke the whole gang is here [14:36] my ubuntu seems to be broken :( [14:36] Pe1o: there is nothing that really beats helping people..

[14:36] Johan-UbuntuNewb: Dillizar must be a psychic === pretto_ is now known as Pretto [14:36] maverick340: could you give the specific error you are getting? [14:36] Paddy_EIRE, they are bother linux gui . innovation is great for us all. Political different should not get in the way of getting better. Take KDE porting it app building frame work to windows and with it goes some of the apps. [14:36] NielsE, jsut install ubuntu , then sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop , that will give you both desktop on one os, you can select which you want from the loging screen [14:37] dr_willis: yeah, but last time I tried with gutsy, it became a total mess, I could not get on the internet with kde because of knetworkmanager [14:37] Paddy_EIRE, have a look at http://pastebin.com/m1a8ba036 [14:37] tarelerulz: yeah good point [14:37] when booting the old hardy kernel though, i see that the scancode/keycode behavior was identical there and still gnome and/or X managed to treat the keys right [14:37] How can I select what locales get isntalled? I tried "dpkg-reconfigure locales", but that just regenerates some. [14:37] i get this when i eun apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade [14:37] run* [14:37] Pelo, dr_willis: oh well, I'm just going to try [14:37] I installed Ibex (via upgrade) on a friends PC who has a 56k (IIRC Conexant) modem.

(x4) [14:37] nickrud: thanks. it didn't have the iso and fail to download. somehow i managed to download the file manually. [14:37] dent, what do you mean by locals ? [14:37] i'm experiencing identical behavior to this: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/291878 [14:37] also a crash report notification pops up but doesnt open [14:38] i've understood that hotkey-setup is involved in binding the scancodes to keycodes for various "internet keyboards", but that's as far as i've gotten. any tips on where to keep digging for clues? [14:38] Pe1o: locales; localizations... like german, czech, whatever languages [14:38] Paddy_EIRE: I can't wait until I here someone windows person use some app that was on kde/linux first and be like that is cool. I would say I know been using it for years. [14:38] maverick340: ok.. do "sudo dpkg-reconfigure -a" in a terminal then perform another normal update when it is done [14:39] tarelerulz: hehe [14:39] Paddy_EIRE, did that [14:39] maverick340, menu > system > admin > software sources, chose server, let ubuntu find the faster server for you , that should help [14:39] did not help [14:39] maverick340: what was the output of that command?

As I understand it, to do this, I need to download the source code from http://packages.ubuntu.com/hardy/net/xl2tpd untar the the .orig file, then apply the .diff file. Problem is, I don't know how to do that. [14:47] ok thanx [14:48] Pelo: freak enough for me, Iḿ newbie and trying to have a "nice" linux" for my kids [14:48] tarelerulz: http://linuxtechie.wordpress.com/2008/03/09/ubuntu-804-hardy-heron-brings-better-mtp-support/ [14:48] maverick340: ok so add your live cd as a software source in Software Sources then use Synaptic to reinstall "apt" to see if that resolves much [14:49] no liveCD [14:49] upgraded from 8.04 [14:49] actually i have the 8.04 beta. upgraded since then [14:49] maverick340: well it would be wise to have one [14:49] at least [14:49] okay i can download one [14:49] I installed Ibex (via upgrade) on a friends PC who has a 56k (IIRC Conexant) modem.

(x8) [14:49] yeah [14:49] If anyone is familiar with infobot, for some reason it takes ignores the "flags" option for the designated users which are allowed to add/update the factoids and have the proper flags for that. The default is an empty flags entry and that's what's aplied even to the designated users' flags, making them unable to manipulate factoids. Any ideas what I'm missing? [14:49] hmm [14:49] easotokr, just so I have this straight, you are missing one of the taskbars is that it ? [14:49] maverick340: it will make life much easier :) [14:49] okay ill try that , thanks [14:49] :) [14:50] Will dpkg-source -x xl2tpd_1.1.12.dfsg.1-3.dsc do the trick ? Assuming i have the source files i downloaded from http://packages.ubuntu.com/hardy/net/xl2tpd ? [14:50] servers are fast enough or would i be better of using bit torrent ? [14:50] maverick340: wait [14:50] Pelo: no, icon into menu bar for evolution, file-roller, and so on. [14:50] maverick340: try this first "sudo aptitude -f install" [14:51] easotokr, ahh [14:51] maverick340: hopefully you did not include the quotes with that command :) [14:51] 0 packages upgraded, 2 newly installed, 21 to remove and 26 not upgraded.Need to get 10.3MB/10.4MB of archives.

Is there a way to put the 8.04 kernel back on? would I have to add the gutsy back to my apt.sources? Would putting an older kernel even work? Thanks in advance... [15:36] Is anyone familiar with infobot For some reason it ignores the "flags" option for the designated users which are listed to add/update the factoids and have the proper flags for that (flag t). The default is an empty flags entry and that's what's aplied even to the designated users' flags, making them unable to manipulate factoids. Any ideas what I'm missing?

[17:10] sdcv junk] [17:10] leohartx: cleaning out cache files might at best make apt handle some actions faster, though this highly depends on how apt works. Cleaning your file system doesn't make things go faster (apart from defragmentation, wich using ext3 etc. is quite significantly less of a problem than under Windows), only running programs make your system "slower" in general. [17:10] We are using release 8.10 [17:10] brucevdk, so, there's only 1 method to get rid of junk files is apt-get clean ? [17:10] when I try to download the package libgnutls13 it sais: Package libgnutls13 has no available version, but exists in the database. === Tiven_ is now known as Tiven [17:11] leohartx: apt-get clean only cleans out cached Debian packages, depends on whether you regard that as junk. Removing packages with the --auto-remove switched and purging will delete a lot of common files regarded as "junk" === tonyespy is now known as awe [17:12] leohartx: but this would only make sense if you're anal, since it has limited benifits (especially not making things "go faster") [17:12] hi guys since a week Ubuntu was not working in a typical way, I found the reason that mouse was not functioning well..

[17:15] the_newbie: gtkpod, ffmpeg [17:15] naah... make that 10 [17:15] leohartx: yes, generally as long as the order in which users are added is the same (user id, group id) [17:15] Hey guys, i have a problem. When i plug my headphones in sounds keeps going out of the laptop speakers. I'm on a Sony VAIO and i read on the forums that it is a common problem with Intel-based sound chips.

[17:17] Can I get assistance with another Debian based system, DSL, here? [17:17] leohartx: generally yes [17:17] KillGuta: or behave [17:17] just nevermind...

[17:19] Brucevdk: so, what will happen if i create an user with same name to my old /home/ ? [17:20] leohartx: if you create users in the same order, it will basically "inherit" the rights (so it will be able to read/write to that folder).

I tried sudo aptitude purge firefox, it said it would free 99MB, but now Firefox is still there and working. How do I get rid of it? [17:29] ncfi1013, i suppose so, click the upper server, should have info there (on the left) [17:29] theGrowingNoise: do you know about dd? [17:29] Yeah, it wants the device name, i dont know the name, how could i find this?

[17:31] theGrowingNoise: I'm not 100% sure, I've never actually cloned a hdd myself [17:32] ldiamond_: rm /var/lib/firefox (not recommended) [17:32] ldiamond_ : Why does it only propose C:/ (my Windows partition) for installation and not D:/ (my data partition)?

[17:32] theGrowingNoise: I'd say yes, because I'd assume dd just writes over the bytes untill it's done [17:32] i hope it did make some sense [17:32] mudit: what do you mean by reference? [17:32] NekroJakub, unetbootin isnt made to install from your current main internal HDD. [17:32] Brucevdk: thanks, i'll give it a try [17:32] outbackwifi, whats the recommended way? [17:33] ldiamond_: sudo apt-get remove firefox [17:33] NekroJakub, use a USB stick [17:33] outbackwifi, Yes I did that, firefox still works [17:33] ldiamond_ : Good idea, I love the idea of a USB Live Ubuntu [17:33] ldiamond_: you mean it is still installed or the current working instance is present?

[17:40] 8.04 is somewhat more sluggish than 6.10 but I can live with it [17:40] Pirate_Hunter: use update-rc.d to prevent gdm from starting at boot [17:40] hey guys -- right now my log out menu has morphed into a switch user menu, and doesn't have shutdown or restart anymore. Does anyone know how I can get those on the menu too? [17:40] wyl: I don't play games in Ubuntu... [17:40] slurpee i would try renaming the hidden file called .xchat or .xchat2 in your home folder and see if that helps. it will recreate the .xchat folder with default settings [17:41] wyl: I use my computer for developing games [17:41] Hi guys, Was wondering if someone could help with a dbus/gdm/gnome-keyring-daemon problem that I get when logging in on 8.10... extracts from auth.log are thus: http://paste.ubuntu.com/69277/ - thanks :-) [17:41] Got it working !!!

[17:59] ext: Computer [18:00] thethrasher: its easier that way, just share the printer in windoze and use samba to connect to the printer [18:00] is there a way to turn off the notification balloons that pop up since intrepid ibex? (e.g. "You are now connected to the wireless network x")? [18:00] bakarat, because the edge of the hard drive spinning disk has a higher velocity than the center. [18:00] outbackwifi: ldiamond_ btw, is there a way to reinstall ubuntu on the same boot partition without losing all my config files and god knows how many scripts etc? (so just reinstall the pieces that are necessary?) [18:00] ldiamond_: o [18:00] where can i see if my network does retransmissions because of a bad link?

[18:07] newton, what if you do "speaker-test -c 2" in a console? [18:07] i love x2x tbh :| [18:07] outbackwifi, fine, but what if i start it now.. would it tell me how many packets had to be retransmitted to the net? [18:08] outbackwifi, like since the time i booted? [18:08] ldiamond_, no sound is heard [18:08] and sound worked before [18:08] the-ra: its not that intelligent; what it can do is capture all the packets on the wire; you need to analyze it [18:08] Hey, does anyone know why my Second HD moves locations when I have a memory stick in at boot? Normally it is /media/disk but if the memory card is in it will become media/disk-1 [18:08] there was a fix for it, but i forgot what it was [18:09] outbackwifi, thanks so far [18:09] how do I see my Ubuntu Version?

[18:12] What is my options to get sound now though [18:12] hey guys, some forum user suggested running "apt-get remove xserver-xgl" (worked for him) to get my shutdown and restart buttons back, but I think xserver-xgl might be important. Are there any other ways of getting the buttons back? [18:12] <_grepper> Don't laugh but I just delete sources.list from my Ubuntu 8.10 server. Is there a quick way to get it somewhere online? [18:12] rever: get a supported sound card [18:12] outbackwifi, Wow that was very helpful [18:13] Is there a way to check the health of my DVD-RAM drive? [18:13] outbackwifi: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vocoder [18:13] outbackwifi, you must be a linux genius rival the MAC Genius [18:13] rever: sorry but thats what you're left with [18:13] !attitude | rever [18:13] rever: The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines [18:13] what's the difference beetween Kubuntu and Ubuntu? [18:14] <_grepper> Kubuntu comes with KDE instead of Gnome [18:14] does anyone know efi? [18:14] outbackwifi, Well not really since OSS has drivers and creative does to. So I guess the question was any info getting it working [18:14] I mean I can run all of the software on both [18:14] right? [18:14] is Kubuntu more optimized and stuff? [18:15] rever: easiest way to check it is to use oss from the preferences [18:15] when I try to install a theme it says installation failed (can't move directory over directory [18:15] Lots of people leaving. Heh. [18:15] hello, has any one experienced latency problem with recordmydesktop on ubuntu hardy 8.04.1? the voice and video does not seam to go together. [18:15] Deceiver, you can run Konquerer on Gnome for example .. but it needs quite a few libraries installing. [18:16] I was just having a problem with getting xchat to load after I changed the transparency setting. It is a known bug in intrepid 8.10.

(I'm missing the shutdown and restart buttons) [18:17] any know anything about Conky? [18:18] Deceiver, I don't know. You'd have to seek out a few benchmarks for that. [18:18] gravemind: system -> administration -> login window -> loca -> show actions menu I believe [18:18] Why should I choose Kubuntu over Ubuntu? [18:18] jrib: yeah, I read about that, but my options are already correctly configured, so I don't know what to do [18:18] hey guys, i recently upgraded to intrepid and now my mdadm based raid 1 /dev/md0 cant be found. its mounted at / so my system isnt booting :-( [18:18] onetb: it displays system informations [18:18] Deceiver: doesn't really matter. They're the same. One with kde by default, the other with gnome by default. You can install gnome on kubuntu or kde on ubuntu and try both that way [18:19] Deceiver, Ubuntu / Gnome is a much simpler user interface if you don't use all the extra addons of KDE (good as those are). [18:19] gravemind: restarted gdm after the changes? [18:19] where can i ask questions about the wireless-kernel project? what is the correct channel?

[18:26] You'll have to unspool the ISO into a filesystem. [18:26] hello [18:26] I hate it when that happens, TQuid. ;) [18:26] Bupsss: you may need a workaround to run the webcam in skype [18:26] pxeboot relies on nfs, and nfs can't export a loopback-mounted device. [18:26] Unspool ISO to filesystem? :O [18:26] TQuid, outbackwifi I dont see it. [18:26] I tried it just yesterday. [18:27] woot..

Thanks [18:27] /bin/bash [18:28] You *could* pxeboot off a real mounted CD, but that would presumably defeat the purpose. [18:28] outbackwifi, I gave him /bin/bash [18:28] Michael___: there are a few. the URLs for all of them are archive.ubuntu.com and security.ubuntu.com [18:28] donald: its an access control list; some routers also have a inversion feature i.e only deny this mac [18:28] basso_: that make sense yet? [18:28] ah okay TQuid, do you know a tutorial for setting up a PXE server? :P [18:28] yme: can you ssh in from your machine as that user? ssh user@localhost [18:28] tobywuk: test [18:28] Hmm. Not offhand but I bet I could find one. You'll need dhcp, nfs, and tftp-server running. === basso_ is now known as basso [18:29] The choices are Allow, Block or Disable.

[18:29] donald: ok [18:29] can I make an announcement [18:29] basso: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/Netboot [18:29] LjL: it is because my partion table is GPT apparently it says i shoud use GNU parted .. is just the parted command in the console or something special> [18:29] ? [18:29] X3: please don't [18:29] swhy [18:29] jadams_: dmesg would be a good start. [18:29] X3: this channel is for support questions and answers, perhaps #ubuntu-offtopic might be appropriate [18:30] outbackwifi, I guess I should login as him? [18:30] gammy, http://pastie.org/310233 [18:30] it may benefit UBUNTU as well [18:30] ubuntu: gnuparted is a graphical app. The console tool is usually good old fdisk. [18:30] anybody using Open Office 3 on an amd64 in intrepid ? [18:30] yme: no just run the ssh command as your currently logged in user [18:30] these are opensource projects [18:30] outbackwifi, I get permission denied [18:30] jadams_: I didn't say *I* wanted it. :| [18:30] gammy, fair :) [18:30] and sorry [18:30] outbackwifi I get Permission denied (publickey) [18:30] jadams_: Anyway, that message is pretty clear is it not? [18:31] X3: this is nevertheless a support channel, not a channel for announcements. if you want to talk about open source projects, #ubuntu-offtopic will actually most likely find a more attentive audience to that [18:31] TQuid: howcome it says WARNING: GPT (GUID Partition Table) detected on '/dev/sda'! The util fdisk doesn't support GPT. Use GNU Parted. then? [18:31] yme: you might want to check if you enabled public key authentication in your sshd config [18:31] gammy, well, looks to me like it both says it has a driver for it and says that it doesn't, so no not really. [18:31] can yo suggest other channels where I may recruit help [18:31] ubuntu_: huh, that's a new one on me. I'm afraid I don't know what GUID Partition Tables are. Maybe google that. [18:32] thx TQuid, now i got something to start on atleast :) [18:32] jadams_: The camera has several components. It uses a supported bridge but doesn't use a (yet?) supported sensor. [18:32] TQuid: i dont need to i can tell you its the mac version :P [18:32] jadams_: Make sure your software is up to date. ov5XX drivers are under a lot of development.

[18:33] jadams_: http://www.linux-projects.org/modules/sections/index.php?op=viewarticle&artid=6 might also help. [18:33] gammy, which software? I'm on a fully-updated intrepid [18:33] is there something like a "enable latest untested packages" in ubuntu? [18:33] yme: you should also check the permissions on the user's .ssh directory. [18:33] depape: yes [18:33] outbackwifi, my file has got PubkeyAuthentication yes [18:33] !repositories > depape (depape, see the private message from ubotu ) [18:33] jadams_: see 9. Supported devices. [18:33] I have ubuntu on sda, and windows on sdb, and a data drive on sdc (sdb and sdc were C: and D: in my old windows installation) - how do I set WINE up so that it sees sdb as C: and sdc as D:? [18:33] jadams_: try "LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libv4l/v4l1compat.so cheese" [18:33] depape: of course, the latest untested packages (technically called the intrepid-proposed repository) may break your system. [18:33] herb, the permissions are 700 [18:34] jrib: are you here mate? [18:34] yme: owned by the user and not root? [18:34] yme: like herb says check if the .ssh folder has the right permissions usually [18:34] basso: glad to help. Note that page is for net-based installs, but that seems to be what you want if you're trying to boot to an iso. [18:34] thx [18:34] LjL: hi LjL! thanks for your answer, but as you might remember i need the latest backports [18:34] herb, yep [18:34] G'day folks, thanks for the help. [18:34] So after updating from 8.04 to 8.10, Firefox no longer has window decorations (when running Compiz)... but all other applications do. [18:34] gammy, right, and 0x0471 0x0328 is in the list of supported devices [18:34] my usb devices won't mount - can anyone help? [18:34] depape: -proposed is not backports [18:34] depape: -proposed is just the stuff that will eventually (if found correctly working) go into -updates [18:35] gammy: also, lsmod shows sn9c102 as loaded [18:35] jadams_: Please continue reading. "The list above does not imply that all those devices work with this driver.." [18:35] LjL: but how can i get the very very very latest version of linux-backports-modules-generic? [18:35] depape: and -updates is mostly bugfixes, rarely contains actual backports of new versions [18:35] xorg.conf Device adjustments to 'intel' driver is not working?! Howto change graphic driver/ [18:35] yme: do a ssh -vv and see if you get any additional clues [18:35] Reformer81--> what does gtk-window-decorator do for you? [18:35] outbackwifi, the .ssh folder is owned by the user and the permissions are drwx [18:35] bbiab [18:35] hi. When i install the qt4 debug library. how can i use it? i see that the libqt libs are simlinks to the real libraries. Is there a command to point them all to the correct debug library? [18:35] yme: you can try to connect with ssh in verbose mode to see if you get any additional information. -v -vv or -vvv [18:35] depape: only by compiling the intrepid version of it. [18:35] gammy, thanks for the help, sorry to rope you in [18:35] How do I boot from USB? (Trying to live a LiveUSB Stick) [18:35] yme: as also the authorized_keys file [18:35] jadams_: webcams are rather broken in intrepid [18:35] LjL: im only interested in the ath5k driver, but someone said in lunchpad that there is a new version released on 6.11.2008, and my system hasnt found a new one since 5.11.2008... [18:36] NekroJakub: that's a BIOS question... [18:36] NekroJakub--> 1st, you have to set your bios to boot from USB as the 1st priority, [18:36] * outbackwifi needs a lunchpad now [18:36] jadams_: Webcam stuff is a bitch. The vendors always ship the same looking cameras with multiple hardware inside and never make any information available. [18:36] LjL: so i must have missed this "new version" of backports-generic [18:36] Walex3: it is connected with Ubuntu, right? Besides, who to ask than liberated Linux geeks. :P [18:36] depape: a new version of the ath5k driver, or of linux-backports? [18:37] buntoow: I did that, it now goes CDROM -> USB-FDD -> Hard Drive [18:37] embrik: what does your /etc/fstab say; normally theres an auto in the line for the disk [18:37] I'm having compatibility issues between opengl graphics (eg: games), possibly sdl, and compiz again since upgrading to intrepid [18:37] NekroJakub--> 1st, you have to set your bios to boot from USB as the 1st priority, thats not the same as what you just pasted [18:37] outbackwifi, whoops, it appears authorized_keys was owned by me :-) [18:37] LjL: of the ath5k driver which comes from linux-backports-modules-intrepid-generic (as far was i know) [18:37] is it not possible to reassign C: in wine? [18:37] yme: there you go :) [18:37] PeskyJ--> look in the wine configs? [18:37] buntoow: But I don't have any CD in my drive so it should skip the CD and boot up the stick... Still, well, I'll try. [18:38] outbackwifi, thanks, he can connect now [18:38] buntoow, when I click the C:, the location box is greyed out [18:38] herb, thanks [18:38] depape, the ath5k driver doesn't "come from" linux-backports... it comes from whoever writes that driver. one thing is a new version of the driver being out, another thing is the Ubuntu packagers actually packaging it [18:38] yme: you're welcome [18:38] yme: you would do well to disable passphrase auth in the config [18:38] HELP, ok let me start from the beginning since it looks like the person who was helping me earlier is gone. I can install Heron, but Ibex doesn't open an X display, neither gdm nor straight X from RL3. I have nvidia SLI cards I think they are 7900 or something. gdm starts and runs, but no display. X logs show "No Device Found" as last line. I downloaded the latest drivers from nv.com, and compiled them, but I still don't get a display with Ib [18:38] PeskyJ--> did you ever try to look in the wine configs? [18:39] binarydigit, I'm running the "Wine configuration" tool, in the "drives" tab. [18:39] LjL: okay, but here https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-restricted-modules/+bug/275423/comments/13 someone sais a new package just came out, and i didnt find it so far :/ [18:39] scotlfs: did you add the driver in /etc/X11/xorg.conf ? [18:39] herb, which option would that be? [18:39] buntoow, um, that was meant for you :) [18:39] Hi, I'm looking for a newer version of imagemagick for intrepid. Any suggestions for repos? I have 6.3.7 now, would like 6.3.8 or higher. [18:40] depape: uhm. you were on hardy or intrepid anyway? [18:40] LjL: intrepid [18:40] Does anyone know how to make wicd detect your wireless even if you boot with WIFI disabled and enable it once in a session? [18:40] outbackwifi: yes, I tried all sorts of things, including disabling glx, which helped me take a step closer to getting a gui (i.e. I get the ubuntu progress bar trying to startx), but I finally get dropped into tty anyway [18:40] yme: #PasswordAuthentication yes to No [18:40] PeskyJ--> look at ~/.wine/dosdevices/ [18:41] scotlfs: can you pastebin your xorg.conf ? [18:41] what happened to displayconfig-gtk in Ibex? [18:41] outbackwifi, that's already set to no :-) [18:41] yme: great [18:41] hey, ever since I installed the up to date version of numpy I've been getting dependency problems in synaptic. How do I uninstall this "numpy"? I installed it by doing "sudo python setup.py install" [18:41] outbackwifi: I gotta tell you its been quite a few eyars since I used linux, so its going to be hard for me to do that in the terminal [18:41] ldiamond_--> if wifi is disabled why do you expect the utils to detect such? [18:42] depape: can you confirm it's in main please so i can search for it more easily? "apt-cache policy linux-backports-whateveritscalled" should tell you [18:42] outbackwifi: last time I used linux was in the gnome-1.4 days [18:42] scotlfs: its actually as easy as cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf | pastebinit [18:42] LjL: okay, just wait a moment [18:42] ok [18:42] depape: also look at the installed version number [18:42] buntoow, I dont expect it to detect it when its disabled, I expect it to detect it once I enable it even if I'm already in ubuntu, and not have to restart. [18:43] buntoow, ahh, so I can just change those symlinks to point elsewhere? [18:43] outbackwifi: pastbinit > command not found [18:43] outbackwifi: is there something I need to apt-get? [18:43] scotlfs: sudo apt-get install pastebinit [18:43] depape: i might have found it in -proposed, anyway [18:43] LjL: is this? (500 http://de.archive.ubuntu.com intrepid/main Package) the line you mean? [18:43] depape: yes it is. tell me also the installed version [18:44] PeskyJ--> to the correct mapping [18:44] LjL: it sais 2.6.27.7.11 and candidate 2.6.27.7.11 (same) [18:44] buntoow, can I get wine to automount sdb and sdc whenever it starts and map c: and d: to them? [18:44] outbackwifi: http://pastebin.com/f25f177dc [18:44] ldiamond_--> when you restart or start wicd it should read interfaces file and act accordingly [18:44] LjL: version history gives: *** 2.6.27.7.11 0 [18:45] buntoow, I'm new to linux desktop environments, so never used xwindows or wine before :) [18:45] PeskyJ--> if you make those symlinks correspond to what you wanted, i say yeah [18:45] outbackwifi: and honestly if I can get an x session running, I believe I can figure out the rest [18:45] Good question for you guys. What program can recover data from a formatted NTFS drive? [18:45] outbackwifi: mate, I have to go AFK...I am afraid....will you be on for a little while? I am making my kids lunch [18:45] depape: ok, there is 2.6.27-8.17 in -proposed, let me dig it up (i'd rather you install it manually rather than enabling the whole -proposed repository, which is a bit risky) [18:45] PeskyJ--> severe your ties from windows then, why even continue with wine? [18:45] buntoow, The problem is that when I boot my laptop with WIFI disabled, then enable it. Even if I restart wicd, it will not detect my (now activated) wifi. [18:45] scotlfs: its already 12:15 am where i am at [18:46] buntoow, any idea why I can't change that from the GUI configuration tool? I'm a bit scared of messing with stuff that's potentially auto-maintained [18:46] ldiamond_--> what do you mean enabled it ? [18:46] LjL: thats what i was looking for :> i just dont know how to install 2.6.27.8.17 :/ [18:46] ldiamond_: network-manager does that automatically for me [18:46] j #postgresql [18:46] does anyone know the steps i need to take to boot a the contents of a live cd from an external harddrive? [18:46] buntoow: he means he used the kill switch === Ashfire is now known as Ashfire908 [18:46] depape: what is the binary package called exactly? there's a few different flavors [18:46] rhavenw: thats not making sense [18:46] buntoow, the wife still wants to run photoshop and some games [18:47] outbackwifi, can you help me setting it up? (I had problems with it in the past so someone made me install wicd [18:47] can anyone who has experience with vmware tell me a little about how its works? [18:47] vmware eats cpu [18:47] PeskyJ--> i dont use gui much, so am not able to tell you why it does not work there, [18:47] LjL: can i find this here? http://packages.ubuntu.com/de/intrepid/linux-backports-modules-intrepid-generic [18:47] ldiamond_: if you're on ibex, i cant cos i still have hardy [18:47] depape: i'm afraid packages.u.c doesn't list proposed packages [18:47] outbackwifi, I see [18:47] Does anyone know of a way to recover files from a formatted NTFS drive in Ubuntu? [18:47] outbackwifi, I'm on Ibex minimal install [18:48] i am having problems with the MBR. when i load grub my windows xp doesnt work, when i restore ntldr then ubuntu doesnt work... they are partioned on the same drive....... PLEASE HELP [18:48] outbackwifi: sorry, what i want to do is similar to a liveUSB, but instead of using a flash drive i use an external hard drive [18:48] LjL: i dont know how to find out the binary package, sorry [18:48] ldiamond_: didnt the default network manager in ibex work? [18:48] depape: instead, add this line to /etc/apt/sources.list: deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ intrepid-proposed main restricted [18:48] ldiamond_--> perhaps I need to understand your meaning of activated wifi, what is your definition of that? [18:48] outbackwifi, I had troubles with it [18:48] rhavenw: thats quite possible i guess if that external drive is usb [18:48] depape: it's the package name that you typed when you did "apt-cache policy" [18:48] where does gnome save the passwords? [18:49] erle-: keyring [18:49] outbackwifi: thats what i thought but when i followed the same steps it doesnt work [18:49] outbackwifi, i mean, in what files? [18:49] LjL: so its linux-backports-modules-intrepid-generic [18:49] outbackwifi: there are a set of different steps i have to follow i believe [18:49] i what to port them from one installation to another [18:49] buntoow, My laptop (as mostly all of them) has a switch for wireless. When I boot, the wireless is OFF by default. Once in ubuntu, I press Fn+F11 and this activates the wireless (its a hardware switch). [18:49] depape: ok so 1) add that line, 2) "sudo apt-get update", 3) "sudo apt-get install linux-backports-modules-intrepid-generic" [18:49] outbackwifi: I am back for a few minutes, did you have a chance to look at the pastebin ?

[18:50] abbas: that makes no sense, try asking a question [18:50] can somebody tell me wher I can find the folder containing the themese? [18:50] outbackwifi: I can do that [18:51] ldiamond_--> you definition of activate is not quite correct yet... a hardware requires a driver, both of them working makes it active..just having a hw on does not make it active..you follow me? [18:51] scotlfs: if you turned off that auto mode select in xorg.conf it might help [18:51] solexious: lspci | grep net [18:51] i want thes programs hacker ‎ubuntu [18:51] tsrk_: network-manager handles that, you should set static addressing from the GNOME network settings if you want them to stick, not in /etc/network/interfaces [18:51] i am having problems with the MBR. when i load grub my windows xp doesnt work, when i restore ntldr then ubuntu doesnt work... they are partioned on the same drive.......

[19:08] PeskyJ--> its long list...try again maybe to see if you somehow just missed it? [19:08] HI. [19:08] Clockswork: if it's busy, that's normal. if it is idle. it should be around 40, afaik. [19:08] Likewise, if I leave it on the Ubuntu box, my XP box doesn't register my mouse [19:08] can anyone help me with my resolution problem?: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=975478 [19:08] MnemonicPunk, I don't think it's because of Emerald themes, [19:08] buntoow: I'm not sure. the machine crashed when it was upgrading, but then I ran a command to fix it (apt-get dist-upgrade -a or something) which I thought did fix it. [19:08] heret1c, should the GPU be 40 in idle? [19:08] Clockswork:if i use music rhythm player would it be "that player" *the mp3 i want*? [19:08] buntoow: but now I'm just realizing that there's pieces of the kernel missing (sound modules, in particular) [19:09] buntoow, only see gnome-mount as a related thing... the man page for that says it's a back-end but doesn't say what the front-end is [19:09] jordo2323: Not sure, it looks like those bugs that emerald caused when it was new. But I have working window decorations programs when it happens. [19:09] droopsta915, no, If you wanna play music/video via the terminal, use mplayer === sean is now known as Guest9977 [19:09] Clockswork: heh, 3 deg. over body temp shouldn't matter- [19:09] ok thanks [19:09] I have a problem with the new intrepid ibex. The webcam gspca show a screen very black. [19:09] jordo2323: Are you running AWN? [19:10] There are somebody with this problem? [19:10] heret1c, The GPU cant be 40C in idle :S, its like 41 when I boot up [19:10] kittyhawk--> oh, so yeah maybe try what i suggest, im hoping it would cure it..i honestly suggest to people to do a fresh install instead of upgrade because of lil quirks like this that can make your system unusable [19:10] MnemonicPunk, I was, but I went back to normal Gnome panels [19:10] is webmin available for ibex server? i do not see it with apt-cache search. [19:10] Clockswork: But then it's doing something. Booting up. [19:10] jordo2323: Okay. So we can probably rule that out. [19:10] lavacano201014, :P well alright u got me there [19:11] PeskyJ--> i forget what you were after now, you want a different dir mapping for each user of wine? [19:11] Clockswork: that's its normal working temp, then? [19:11] MnemonicPunk, the weird thing is that only firefox does this....everything else seems fine [19:11] buntoow: I'm going to try apt-get reinstall linux-image-2.6.25-2-386 and see if that fixes it [19:11] hello [19:11] heret1c, Well my fans kick in when the GPU reaches 65C and lowers it back to 50 [19:11] Is there a common webpage I can go to to find (new) known bugs. I'm running version 8.04 and as of this morning, there's a version conflict with Pidgin (a program that I kinda need to do work). [19:11] kittyhawk--> okay, lets us know how it went [19:11] jordo2323: Yeh. Out of ideas. =( [19:11] Does anyone know how to get my wireless drivers and everything loaded automatically when I turn on my wireless on my laptop? Right now, my wireless only works if I turn it on during boot. I have to restart if I forget to enable it. [19:12] heret1c, mind you I'm talking about my GPU, my CPU is on stable 45 [19:12] buntoow, well I'm the only techy user, I wantother users to be able to access the windows drives from ubuntu and run windows programs and have the drives mounted correctly [19:12] ldiamond_: you need to check if your acpi events are being handled properly [19:12] I need help with ubuntu 8.10 and wireless card [19:12] it was not detecting any one [19:12] ImBrian: Ubuntu should have a BugZilla, I'm sure... [19:12] !bugs [19:12] If you find a bug in Ubuntu or any of its derivatives, please file a bug report at: http://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu - Bugs in/wishes for the bots can be filed at http://launchpad.net/ubuntu-bots [19:12] Ah ha [19:12] outbackwifi, How do I find that out? [19:12] and the button was showing it was off no matter what [19:12] nm, i found it [19:12] !bugs | ImBrian [19:12] ImBrian: please see above [19:12] buntoow, I found that there's something called HAL which manages desktop mounting, but can't find how to configure it [19:12] Clockswork: I'm no expert on the issue, but it sounds normal. [19:12] ldiamond_: look in /etc/acpi/events [19:13] PeskyJ--> with the current set-up its not mapping the drives correctly? [19:13] buntoow, well I have to manually mount the drives from the command line first [19:13] * lavacano201014 finds food [19:13] droopsta915, Did you get it to work? [19:13] heret1c, Allright [19:13] MnemonicPunk, https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-mozillateam-bugs/2008-August/051918.html [19:14] buntoow, I want to configure it so that it does that automatically for whatever user is logged in [19:14] I would like to share a dir with windows lusers and I should be able to right click and 'share' a folder, but that option doesn't exist. how can I make teh share? [19:14] buntoow: :) I think that's cp -a (but it's irrelevant for my issue anyways :) [19:14] droopsta915, if you wanna play a whole directory of songs, lets say Offspring, and the folder is in my Home/Music folder [19:14] PeskyJ--> you can try lshal to show you what it sees, I forget how kernel passes the info if its hal or sysfs to set those uuids and devices [19:14] outbackwifi, thats a folder, it contains lots of files that seem completely unrelated to my issue. How do I know whats the right file? [19:14] droopsta915, the command would be "mplayer /Music/Offspring/*.mp3" [19:15] buntoow: I just saw I didn't link the thread properly :( [19:15] MnemonicPunk, http://ph.ubuntuforums.com/showthread.php?t=836944 [19:15] Brucevdk--> it is -p i just peeked at man cp [19:16] Help> I want to use these comics in my magazine, can I use them? http://tinyurl.com/4rh5gk [19:16] ldiamond_: there should be a script that handles your kill switch; its generally a toggle that loads or unloads the module [19:16] jordo2323: Maybe we should just wait for it to get fixed. It's not nice but only a minor annoyance (at least for me since I start FF only 2-3 times a day) [19:16] Anyone have problems hotplugging USB devices? (k)ubuntu won't recognise my external dvd burner in a reliable fasion. [19:16] Hey everyone, I'm currently running Ubuntu on my Eee PC, and the resolution is quite small. Often times windows such as the appearance windows and others are clipped off at the bottom and I can't access those buttons. How might I shrink the window or access those buttons? (Gnome, Hardy eee) [19:16] ldiamond_: mine is called eeepc-wifi-toggle.sh [19:16] buntoow: ah yes, -a is shorthand for -dpR. But I misread the command you stated: I saw it as -p f1 (f1 as an argument to p) [19:16] MnemonicPunk, I hear ya, but it sure is ANNOYING! [19:16] heret1c--> look in /etc/udev/rules.d for the usb rules of your devices [19:16] outbackwifi, all the files there are for laptops other than mine. Is there a way to see which one is executed when I press the switch ? [19:17] buntoow: right... [19:17] jordo2323: You could make some gconf workaround if you want to. Compiz has a setting that tells it what the resctrictions for window positions are. Edit that so it just can't pop under your top panel. =) [19:17] Brucevdk--> okay, i missed it too, i can only direct help to man pages as i can not remember them myself [19:17] Okay, so ubottu (a bot) says "please see above" - I've been searching. How do I search / file bugs? [19:18] ldiamond_: if you do a tail -f /var/log/syslog in a terminal and then press the switch, it should spew some debug messages out [19:18] PeskyJ--> the current settings you have does not provide the current mapping of drives? [19:19] outbackwifi, Ill test it out, thx [19:19] MnemonicPunk, Unless it's an easier fix, I will wait like you :) Not that I wouldn't attempt it, but that may cause another issue down the road [19:19] ldiamond_: yw [19:19] buntoow: does HAL have a config tool? [19:19] jordo2323: If you want to edit compiz settings, install the ccsm-simple package, then go to System -> Settings -> Appearance -> Visual effects -> Custom [19:19] !hal [19:19] For an informative description of the Hardware Abstraction Layer , go to this site : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hardware_abstraction_layer [19:19] hey, I've got a lot of static in my sound. In fact, it's mostly static. Why hasn't this worked since Gutsy? [19:19] how to I open a djvu file to read it in ubuntu= [19:19] ? [19:19] buntoow: what am I looking for?

[19:20] outbackwifi, I have that :Please send acpidump to linux-acpi@vger.kernel.org How do I get the ACPIDUMP to send it? [19:20] heret1c--> look in /etc/udev/rules.d for the usb rules of your devices.look in those script one a time to give you some hints [19:20] alright!

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 [19:25] outbackwifi: oh a format which I needed an special reader in windows, but in linux I have just tried to open it and it has opened perfectly :) no problem solved [19:25] any girl here for chat?

[19:26] kittyhawk: they're in the normal linux-image-XX-generic, and there should be folders 'pci', 'drivers', 'usb' and such [19:26] I have a printer/scanner setup on my Ubuntu box, I have shared the printer with smb, now I installed the scanning software for the printer/scanner, do I need to configure samba for scanning as well? [19:26] is there a good explanation of the main user/root relationship in ubuntu? I don't really understand why it asks for my password for admin tasks and I don't even know the root password though I can become root with sudo su [19:27] !root | PeskyJ [19:27] PeskyJ: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [19:27] I need help people,,after upgrade my system works really slow..i still work on old kernel..2.6.24-19 becasue i don't have ethernet interface on 2.6.27-7..Help please..!!

Is it downgrade to heron ? :) [19:28] scotlfs: since you have two cards, you need to put in a busid line in the device section [19:29] outbackwifi: very well, I have never done a dual card setup in linux before, so I don't know what that needs to look like [19:29] kittyhawk: oh, wait, i'm looking at intrepid, hardy has it a little different [19:29] scotlfs: to find out the busid you need to run Xorg -scanpci [19:29] NTAuthority: I just upgraded to intrepid [19:29] Would someone explain this message to me: "sudo: Symbol `clock' has different size in shared object, consider re-linking" [19:29] NTAuthority: although I think that's what screwed this all up in the first place [19:29] ok bye [19:29] any one can help me ?

See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines [19:41] but maque suere no other packge manager is present [19:42] *make [19:42] NTAuthority: can signal gnome to restart and it will reconnect to the running apps?

Grazie! (click col tasto destro sul nome del canale per entrare) [19:43] MTeck: that's normally done, as it creates an initscript [19:43] or did they release a new version? [19:43] My son and I are experimenting with some stop-action video. I'd like to put a bunch of jpeg's together and create a movie file out of it. Any recommendations for software that can do this?

[19:46] RickZilla: Are you trying to make an animated gif? [19:46] <|neon|> i set up my desktop settings and everything looks ok, however when i reboot i loose my settings everytime, i tried session settings without luck, any suggestions thanks [19:46] NTAuthority: just xrdb - idk if it matters really, but I don't like errors [19:46] paul68 for one, you need to have your sshd server to listen above port 1024 and modify the rules to specify that port to be allowed in [19:47] i'm trying to boot to a liveCD - that did work fine, now it's opening BusyBox and has a initramfs prompt...any ideas why? [19:47] MTeck: x11-xserver-utils contains the package, usually some application should have that as dependency if it's needed [19:47] winferno: No, a movie file [19:47] Not sure what kind yet [19:47] heret1c--> does lsusb shows your usb dvd drive?

[19:47] stodan: try gtreamer-properties first [19:48] ok [19:48] RickZilla: I've used ffmpeg to convert .png files to an h264 video. [19:48] RickZilla: it'd make a gif with animations, you could maybe use avidemux and add them there then make a video [19:48] ActionParsnip and winferno: Thanks for the advice, I'll look into both of those [19:49] just wondering if it is possible to change resolution or decrease text size when working in cli only or am i stuck with the default look? [19:49] RickZilla: I can dig up the command for ffmpeg if you'd like, it worked great for me. [19:49] pasuspender madplay mp3file.mp3 still results in very static-like playback. Yet, this morning it was working fine, until it just became static in the middle of playing an mp3 file. [19:49] NTAuthority: hurray :D - thanks much [19:49] winferno: Is that available in synaptic? [19:49] NTAuthority: I'm gonna reboot and see if it comes up right away [19:49] I think it works again after hibernating, but sometimes hibernating dies too, so that's not a good way to test it. [19:49] <|neon|> i set up my desktop settings and everything looks ok, however when i reboot i loose my settings everytime, i tried session settings without luck, any suggestions thanks [19:50] RickZilla: ffmpeg is.

[20:46] so my external hdd (ntfs) just randomly unmounted.

[20:47] Snoopy_: yeah, SATA [20:47] you mean you just plugged the cable into a different slot, right? [20:47] but anxiolytic, the problem is that there's a symlink to the alternative flashplayer in that directory [20:47] lap: most of us [20:47] billybigrigger: I opened that but the only interfaces listed are loopback and eth0 [20:47] and when I go to load the flashplayer, it simply loads the swfdec [20:47] !!! [20:47] I do [20:47] I'm using nspluginwrapper installed from SVN .. does Intrepid have this version in the repo? This is important because 1.1.0 restarts the flash plugin if it crashes, the older ones just display a gray box until I restart FF [20:47] on one of my boxes im logged to f1+f2 but i wish to ssh to it from my main comp and be able to access those screen, how do i go about doing so? [20:47] BZWingZero, look at this site for an example....http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/ubuntu/change-ubuntu-server-from-dhcp-to-a-static-ip-address/ [20:47] I used bittorent to get it.. very fast [20:47] anxiolytic: yes its in the repos === urkki is now known as Finnish [20:47] BZWingZero, thereś an example of what your interfaces should look like for setting up a static ip addy [20:47] Snoopy_: yeah, I changed the drive to the SATA4 connector on the mobo [20:48] Im clicking on the cd icon on places and the message im getting is "cant mount file" I have no idea what to do from here [20:48] !info flashplugin-nonfree | anxiolytic (yes) [20:48] anxiolytic (yes): flashplugin-nonfree (source: flashplugin-nonfree): Adobe Flash Player plugin installer.

[20:51] BZWingZero, not just ubuntu has it, but all debian based distributions [20:51] anxiolytic, what do you mean what dirs?

[20:52] well i downloaded em [20:52] i think im jsut installin now [20:52] ooohkay..point me to working drivers or walkaround that works for ATI x1900 [20:52] hey fiXXXerMet [20:52] Led-Hed: yao man [20:53] just installed 8.04 64bit on my new backend [20:53] billybigrigger: Seems easy enough to configure, but what about the wireless network key and the essid? Do I just create a line for them as well in addition to the gateways etc. [20:53] should i write "Works with 8.10 on me fine." or "Works with 8.10 fine on me." ? [20:53] BZWingZero, yes but your interface is going to be wlan0 wlan1 etc. [20:53] ok, i just installed 8.10 on my inspiron 530. compiz worked great, then something happened and all desktop effects died [20:53] BZWingZero, not eth0 eth1 [20:53] is there a way to automatically make command line commands run? [20:54] BZWingZero, if you want it static you have to set the essid and all that [20:54] even when I go to installed plugins in Firefox, it only shows me shockwave flash [20:54] grrrrr! [20:54] now, in the old days dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg would fix this [20:54] billybigrigger: For some reason with the intel card in the laptop wired is eth0 and wireless is eth1 [20:54] hmm [20:54] I can fix this in a choppy way by screwing around with symlinks [20:54] but it seems the package isn't what it was [20:54] BZWingZero, do they both work? [20:54] but surely, there must be a cleaner, and more controlled way of doing this??? [20:54] lashi: when you do nspluginwrapper -l where does it show the plugin installed?

Currently just using iwconfig to set the essid and key and dhclient to pull the IP from the router.

[20:56] billybigrigger: For some reason this computer refuses to run a graphic interface, I think the video card is fine. It displays a terminal fine. If I try using windows it will only use CPU rendering instead of the graphics, hence why its terminal only [20:56] it doesn't reveal to me anything about why it's not installed as a plugin for firefox [20:56] that's the real issue === automatix is now known as ortsvorsteher [20:56] billybigrigger: video card fried not fine.

[20:57] ok, i just installed 8.10 on my inspiron 530. compiz worked great, then something happened and all desktop effects died? how do i make it autodetect my videocard again since dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg is broken now?

SATA3 == hd2 [21:03] ActionParsnip, for F*** sake everyone keeps telling me that. I wrote in my post... I have READ the manpage ... 3 times... and can't figure it out still. [21:03] however, grub does not use udev to determine it's drive order, it uses the BIOS drive hook routine to determine that [21:03] i don't understand why it's so hard to give a 1 second answer if you know it. i've done my homework before asking [21:04] blip99: i dont think dd can give any output, it copying the device to the other device [21:04] yeah, my intel integrated graphics broke today, i'm on the vesa driver now. how do i get it to go back to the intel driver?

I have a Realtek ALC883 HD audio that detects jacks plugged in, etc. When I boot without my microphone plugged it, I can only use my integrated Mic. How can I make it detect the new mic and react accordingly? [21:38] donald: test faild [21:38] for games: check out getdeb.com [21:38] Flimm, what kind of game? Are you into old RPG games, such as Chrono Trigger or Zelda? In Ubuntu, go to Add/Remove apps and install ZSNES and then google yourself some roms. Get Chrono Trigger, it's elite. [21:38] i've upgraded to 8.10 from 8.04 and it works perfectly. but i have only one problem. when i'm using ubuntu with battery it shows remaining time and battery status for 15-20 minutes but then it shows like as if it's plugged in AC..so i can't learn my remaining time and battery status. what's this is about??

Becuse they are really bad [21:39] is it a bad idea to map my actual windows drive to C: in wine? will wine start messing with the actual windows registry and things? [21:39] VanHelsinki: The popular, multi-protocol instant messaging client Gaim has, due to legal pressure from AOL regarding the trademarked name AIM, changed its name to Pidgin. This marks the second time the developers have changed the project name to appease AOL. [21:39] ActionParsnip: you assume then that sexuality has anything to do with caring ? [21:39] VanHelsinki: please drop the conversation [21:39] VanHelsinki: caring? [21:39] chvnx: OK [21:39] ActionParsnip: I know that [21:39] ok, i remember the question now :)... when i apt-get install something that is a kde version, but i have booted into the gnome session instead, why don't i see it in my menus?

[21:40] Hi 2 all [21:40] irssi [21:40] i have Q [21:40] luvcview [21:40] ActionParsnip: None of that helped. [21:40] j2daosh: compiz is a window manager. irssi is run from a terminal. no idea what luvcview is [21:40] ActionParsnip: Are you in battlemode atm ? [21:40] not all apps available in apt-get is avain the Add/Remove. look to synaptic package man for detailed apps [21:40] chvnx: you dont, you boot to the linux cd and install the system. You can tell the installer to blank the drive off (destroys ALL data) and install itself [21:40] hi, anyone know an replace to GStreamer plugins from the "bad" set? Becuse they are really bad [21:41] hello [21:41] luvcview is something taht allows access to the built in webcam on the AAO netbook [21:41] i've upgraded to 8.10 from 8.04 and it works perfectly. but i have only one problem. when i'm using ubuntu with battery it shows remaining time and battery status for 15-20 minutes but then it shows like as if it's plugged in AC..so i can't learn my remaining time and battery status. what's this is about?? [21:41] VanHelsinki: no, I just hate the use of the word "gay" to mean bad. I find it immature and pathetic [21:41] ok, i got compiz, got the settings manager, but i dont have the manager in any of my menu's... where does it go? [21:41] gerdiu: try either "aptitude reinstall", or do it gui-style from synaptic package man [21:41] ActionParsnip: Do you know another word that describes this phenomenon better ? [21:42] !ot > VanHelsinki [21:42] VanHelsinki, please see my private message [21:42] VanHelsinki: what phenominom, I'll try to suggest [21:42] ActionParsnip: please don't encourage him [21:42] jrib: thanks dude. it worked.but why did we write, i mean when we type "which rhythmbox", we get /usr/bin/rhythmbox. [21:42] Has anyone else been having range issues with Intrepid and the 8187b chipset? [21:42] j2daosh: I find it in System/preferences [21:42] jrib: just educating. I hate the "gay" slandering. it really riles me [21:42] ActionParsnip: as well as me, but this isn't the right place [21:43] i've upgraded to 8.10 from 8.04 and it works perfectly. but i have only one problem. when i'm using ubuntu with battery it shows remaining time and battery status for 15-20 minutes but then it shows like as if it's plugged in AC..so i can't learn my remaining time and battery status. what's this is about?? [21:43] hmm... i didn't see it in there... ill reinstall it [21:43] ActionParsnip: Indeed, and the use of that term pejoratively isn't allowed in this channel. [21:43] how do you uninstall something through apt? [21:43] apt-get uninstall packagename? [21:43] j2daosh: sudo apt-get remove package [21:43] remove [21:43] gotcha, ty [21:43] j2daosh: sudo apt-get --purge remove [21:43] hallo [21:43] apt-get & aptitude are at times synonymous [21:43] j2daosh: --purge removes all configs (not in ~/) for the app as well [21:44] j2daosh: You also may be interested in purge, which removes config files too. See man apt-get [21:44] aptitude remove/reinstall package [21:44] j2daosh: if you wanna remove orphaned deps, run sudo apt-get autoremove [21:44] i have a problem [21:44] I'm just wondering if I should set up multiple users, or have ubuntu auto-login as Guest or something like that so that my family can use it and I only have to set it all up to be easy/friendly once... is there and guidance on this? [21:44] my wireless i s een but doesn't pick up [21:45] *any [21:45] I'm having trouble finding anything on this problem in the forums, I'm running intrepid on with the 8187b wireless and it works great, but my range has been significantly reduced... is there a forum post on this somewhere that I am missing? [21:45] i've upgraded to 8.10 from 8.04 and it works perfectly. but i have only one problem. when i'm using ubuntu with battery it shows remaining time and battery status for 15-20 minutes but then it shows like as if it's plugged in AC..so i can't learn my remaining time and battery status. what's this is about??

[21:47] heeelp [21:47] your default ubuntu login should have *all* nessiasary apps [21:47] !ask | martin_ [21:47] martin_: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily).

How can I make it detect the new mic and react accordingly? [21:49] i think [21:49] Here is what I am trying to do but I don't know how. It may not be possible but I think it is: I have a laptop with wireless, and I want to bridge a connection to a desktop without wireless via a new (shared) wired connection. [21:49] tnx [21:49] downfallat111, its possible [21:50] both are running intrepid [21:50] 03:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM94311MCG wlan mini-PCI (rev 01) [21:50] [21:50] downfallat111, just have to set one as the otherś gateway [21:50] sorry abt the delay [21:50] downfallat111, google for a howto [21:50] Guest61600: ok then id use ndiswrapper with the xp32 or xp64 (depending on your ubuntu architecture) [21:50] i'm in the office [21:50] ok, i'll see what i can find [21:50] will it work [21:51] anyone know where istanbul saves desktop movies at? or how to stop it without having to kill -9 it?

No one knows anything about solving the range issue with that chipset on on 8.10? [21:52] Hi guys! Q: What is the purpose of having acpid & apmd running at the same time? Would it be possible to use just one? The same question for atd and anacron. Thank you [21:52] as for acpid and apmd [21:52] Is there any way to clean up Ubuntu after an installation, there are a few programs I want to remove that are not being displayed in Add/Remove. [21:52] K_Dallas: try turning them off, have a play, see what it does [21:52] guys. ALOT of this stuff is covered WELL under ubuntuforums. anyone actually bother to google there first b4 posting? [21:52] acpi is the successor to apm [21:53] I have my volume cranked up all the way, but it isn't half as loud as it is in other OSes. How can I get more volume? [21:53] anon: I ask myself that loads :( [21:53] anon: I've hunted around for a few days, just wondered if I was missing something... [21:53] exit [21:53] just asking, as it's quicker to get stuff covered via UF than we can type here [21:53] gavagai: that's a good question, I am having the same problem [21:53] /quit [21:53] K_Dallas, different applications might make use of one or the other. Same goes for atd and anacron I guess [21:53] vesuva, yeah i was thrilled that sound worked on first boot but now i see how quiet it is [21:53] Snoopy_, I see. So maybe I try what ActionParsnip suggested and see if it cripples the system or not [21:53] anon: all i do is websearch to fin answers [21:54] I managed to get the wireless working under 8.04, no range issues, worked great, but with the new kernel on 8.10 the card works natively, but the range is reduced quite a bit [21:54] st3vie, I see. [21:54] worth a try [21:54] gavagai: get extended volume controls & check if master & wave is high [21:54] anon, thanks [21:54] K_Dallas: yu can always boot to live cd to fix what yuo have dnoe [21:54] gavagai: agreed, I had to try real had with FreeBSD to get mine working and then I couldn't in the end [21:54] Snoopy_, well, why not :) Thank you all [21:54] ActionParsnip, true [21:54] why does ubuntu think i have a dual core processor, even though i only have the single core atom processor? [21:54] anon: Thanks for the tip! [21:54] How would I format /media/_boot easily without needing to burn a CD or anything [21:55] is there a different way to get out of an application, other than Alt + Tab [21:55] the program will not allow me to get out ofit [21:55] alt+f4 [21:55] of use killall [21:55] folks i just installed fedora and its much slower than ubuntu... why? [21:55] i don't want to close it tho [21:55] Q2: I am trying to use cdrecord (both on hardy and ibex) and on hardy it is making me crazy. a simple command of cdrecord dev= -v foo.iso prints tons of warnings and errors and does nothing so i have to kill it [21:55] What are the extended volume controls called? aptitude search shows nothing. i search also for 'volume' and i see libgtk2-ex-volumebutton-perl, is that it? [21:55] anon: PulseAudio volume control? [21:55] j2daosh: cat /proc/cpuinfo === dev_ is now known as pignu [21:56] DamienGray: I don't understand what you want to do [21:56] ok, nevermind, i knows the processor correctly, and recognizes it only has a single core, but the system monitor shows 2 cores and both at different %'s [21:57] guntbert: I want to format /media/_boot/ for storage. It currently has a half-finished fedora installation on it [21:57] anon: can you get advanced-volume-control in the package manager? [21:57] When I try to burn a cd in gnomebaker, I'm getting an error: "genisoimage: Directories too deep for 'BaseUtils/usr/local/lib/perl5/5.6.1/Pod/Text' (7) max is 6." [21:57] I tried to add 'guest' to the "Users" in Login Window Preferences, but it reported that the guest UID is lower than minimal UID [21:57] is there a tool that remembers your workspace, like i got emacs, firefox running and instead of having too open up the applications each time is there a tool that launches them as your last session online were last? [21:58] since i upgraded to latest intrepid ipex(before i ran hardy heron), i had kernel 2.6.24-21-generic running, which uses r8187 module for my rtl8187b wlan card. since the upgrade to kernel 2.6.27(i guess), rtl8187b is being used. with that module connection drops after a minute. what should i do? i am afraid keeping the older kernel will become impossible [21:58] last session logged in* [21:58] burning this cd is critical...if someone has a moment I'd appreciate a quick look [21:58] orkun: you'll need the r8187 for intrepid [21:58] pesky: any luck booting windows? [21:58] DamienGray: normally you find mounted external media under /media, you shouldn't store anything there, type mount in the terminal for more info [21:59] Snoopy_: I got it to boot but I just manually edited the grub commands at boot-time, no idea why it worked.. in the end I had to root(hd2, 0) and swap hd0 and hd2 with map [21:59] HEY im looking for some video support, could anyone help me figure out how to get my integrated video to work on ubuntu [21:59] ?? [21:59] ciao [21:59] found the solution thanks ppl [21:59] is it automatically compiled? so i can blacklist rtl8187 with newer kernel and load r8187 instead? [21:59] pls how do i get ndiswrapper [21:59] or do i have to manually add r8187? [22:00] Snoopy_: I'm actually more confused about how grub commands affect its behaviour than when I knew nothing ;) [22:00] what would my remote_display be called [22:00] in unix form [22:00] guntbert: is there a tool to let me see and manage all of my disks? [22:00] mi dite pf il canale ubuntu italiano [22:00] exit [22:00] vesuva, install alsamixergui and jack up the left hand volume. that just fixed it for me. [22:00] yeah that map is what grub uses, the map is determined at grub install time. that's what the --recheck command is for. reprobes the bios and rewrites the map file [22:00] anyone?? [22:00] how can I upgrade openoffice to v3? [22:00] well it made it a little better anyway [22:00] and i know the feeling [22:01] Snoopy_, hey dog [22:01] hey [22:01] DamienGray, you can try gparted [22:01] i just see r8187 is not compiled within newest intrepid kernel. rtl8187 won't work for me. will it work to set up r8187 manually? or will i even have to set up my own kernel to do so? [22:01] st3vie: thanks [22:01] how can I upgrade openoffice to v3? any takers? [22:01] futurama140: lspci will show you [22:01] DamienGray, to format the disk, don't forget to unmount it before you can do that. If I got your question correctly [22:02] angelo: http://news.softpedia.com/news/How-To-Install-OpenOffice-org-3-0-in-Ubuntu-8-10-96449.shtml [22:02] angelo: openoffice.org has a deb package you can d/l [22:02] st3vie: Alright...what should I format it to for music storage? [22:02] angelo: http://news.softpedia.com/newsImage/How-To-Install-OpenOffice-org-3-0-in-Ubuntu-8-10-2.png [22:03] DamienGray, depends on the way you use it. is it an USB stick, then usually vfat is used [22:03] DamienGray: yes gparted will show you everything, but first have a look at the output of mount [22:03] err yeah what ActionParsnip said :) [22:03] okty [22:03] if you want to use it between Linux/Winblows machines, then NTFS is the better choice [22:03] anyone ever tried gentoo? [22:03] and had any luck with it? [22:03] Usage: xmacrorec [options] remote_display [22:03] is there a really cool util that will let me search and replace all the files in a bunch of dirs recursively, and match only certian file extensions? [22:04] Snoopy_: yeah i have a system on it [22:04] what should go into the remote_display section? [22:04] how can i check which ssh deamon i have? [22:04] lots of use flags? === gavimobile is now known as gavi [22:04] st3vie: Okay...done...apparently it was a partition, and the actual disk was /dev/sda2/...How do I move my files onto there? [22:04] Snoopy_: only the safe ones [22:04] Snoopy_: specific for the semperon 64 [22:05] DamienGray, after format, you can mount it again, and then just copy files to it [22:05] how is the ease of use compared to ubuntu after all the installation and compile is done? [22:05] Snoopy_, yes, I've used Gentoo for about 5 years [22:05] st3vie: So I do sudo mount /dev/sda2/? [22:05] Bittarman: you can do that with find and sed [22:06] DamienGray, mount /dev/sda2 /media/ [22:06] ! apparmor [22:06] For information about the AppArmor security framework employed in Ubuntu (since Gutsy Gibbon), see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AppArmor [22:06] jrib: know a good article outlining its use? (ill google if not) [22:06] 'cause i tried it and tried compiling gnome and it was missing a lot of the utilities that come with the ubuntu distro of gnome, unless i used a lot of use flags. then i ended up with circular dependencies. [22:06] Snoopy_: i find it better than ubuntu, same apps and same desktop so its the same to me, its just more optomised under the hood [22:07] thanks bot [22:07] Snoopy_, circular dependencies? wow, never had that problem :) [22:07] Bittarman: not really. Just the man pages, but they are thick. poke me if you are stuck, but I'll be gone in about 5 minutes [22:07] never? [22:07] can someone help me figure out how to get drivers for my integrated video on a compaq??? [22:07] Snoopy_: emerge gnome [22:07] jrib: cheers === backenfutter is now known as backenfu1ter [22:07] yeah i'd have them if i tried all the use flags i wanted at once. [22:07] Snoopy_: it'll install everything gnome needs === backenfu1ter is now known as backenfutter [22:08] Snoopy_: use the safe ones for your cpu [22:08] Hi, I installed Ubuntu as a program from windows, and I uninstalled it (possibly badly), and now I'm stuck with a menu item at the OS selection screen in Vista, I've tried to remove it using EasyBCD but it doen't show as an entry, how can I remove it? :S [22:08] only way around it was to emerge gnome, then go back and add the other use flags that caused the circulars and recompile [22:08] and that was a PAIN... [22:08] Bittarman: btw, it's probably a good idea to make a copy of what you are going to edit since you're using these tools for the first time [22:08] jrib: one step ahead there, i just tared the target ;) [22:08] howI upgrade? sudo apt-get upgrade? [22:08] Hi all.

I'm using the same key on the new server (server B) to connect to the old server and rsync the maildirectories for the various virtual accounts. I get permission denied EVERY time rsync hits /var/mail/virtual/.FILES, although it does get the direcotries -- how do I workaround t [22:53] his? [22:53] i already have it [22:53] billybigrigger, http://www.pastebin.ca/1249082 [22:53] hey [22:53] I'm having a problem.. I can't create users in ubuntu.. somehow the "unlock" button in users and groups is disabled [22:53] feng14 any suggestions [22:53] my x server doesn't start after 8.10 upgrade. Can someone help me fix the driver [22:53] I have a really old live cd I want to install from just to get a base system together quick, any wayI can do this? [22:53] Marcus_123: can you paste your /var/log/Xorg.0.log [22:54] mzwo: afaik the ati wasn't released since it was incomaptible with xorg that came with intrepid at the time of release [22:54] billybigrigger, i read somewhere on gnome.org that "Screen Resolution" doesn't work for nvidia binary drivers (yet), and i think that preference is controlling my xorg.conf. but that's just my hunch. [22:54] gam3r111, in the compiz option animation [22:54] i know [22:54] but i have no clue what to do feng14 [22:54] Can anyone help me get amsn up and running please [22:54] biomass, meaning? the driver does show up, though, i just can't activate it [22:55] Greetings. I'm having problems with my clock. It's set to keep synchronized, and my time zone is set, but the clock stays two hours off. [22:55] gam3r111, choose the window closing option [22:55] could anyone please help me find out how to recompile the kernel with a larger page size [22:55] mzwo: ah ok.. hmm then I don't know, sorry [22:55] feng14 then what [22:55] biomass, thanks, anyways :-) [22:55] Is the regular installation CD any easier than the alternate, or does it just have eye candy? Again I had problems with the regular cd and had to use alternate. I am wondering why I should not recommend people try the alternate first and not risk wasting their time with the regular cd. [22:56] goat|lappy: http://paste.ubuntu.com/69376/ [22:56] I need to start mpd before I start X automatically. How would I do that? [22:56] assem, mine is brief too [22:56] need help with activating proprietary ati driver, intrepid. much appreciated [22:56] gam3r111, could you wait a moment please? I am on windows XP now [22:56] Hi, is it possible to define a resolution for the grub menu other than the default one? I'm using a LCD TV and it doesn't support the default resolution. [22:56] assem, i have no prolbems with my nvidia, and through hdmi out to my tv i have no problems either [22:56] feng14 shure are you going on ubuntu [22:57] gavagai: I've always had good luck with the regular on reasonably new hardware. I had to use the alternate on an old 390E Thinkpad (circa 1999) but on a T43, the regular installer was flawless. [22:57] gam3r111, yea [22:57] just a quick question [22:57] feng14 ok [22:57] hi, how can i get dkms to work? [22:57] assem, but im not going to tv right atm so that could be why my xorg is so small [22:57] or at least transition to a functional m-a [22:57] btice, i've had the regular fail on a new desktop and a new laptop. my experience seems backwards... i never have problems with old hardware [22:57] has anyone had luck using the linksys wmp54gs pci wireless card and 8.10? [22:57] how can I get my computer's own mac address ? [22:57] gavagai, the live CD has an advantage of being used without actually installing stuff to the HDDs - so it's a great rescue environment. The disadvantage is that it cannot be used as a repository and might not work on some hardware (new video hardware especially) [22:58] have dns silly question [22:58] fruit_blm: type ifconfig in a terminal [22:58] unop, ok so no real advantage in terms of the installation. just the live aspect. [22:58] hi, intrepid won't let me activate proprietary driver (ati), any idea why? [22:58] because in fact the live cd worked on my laptop but would not install on it [22:58] gavagai: I guess YMMV. All my hardware has been IBM, but the old stuff was underpowered for the normal installer. [22:59] downfallat111: I ignore the first two digits rite (00) and take the next 6 pairs ? [22:59] gavagi: I guess the short answer is, if it works, go with it. [22:59] i guess in the future unless i need a live distro i'll just always start with the alternate cd. i don't see any downside [22:59] Marcus_123: whats your environment, is this 8.10? [22:59] why doesn't m-a work with ubuntu? [22:59] billybigrigger, well, i think the problem is the virtual display for the default screen. i told nvidia-settings to make my hdtv/monitor screen 2. it didn't change the xorg.conf [22:59] fruit:blm: no, i think it is all 6 pairs [23:00] the alt install was great though... everything on my laptop worked automatically. (well, so far. i haven't notice any prob) [23:00] goat|lappy: yes 8.10 [23:00] gavagai, in terms of installation - the live CD is less customisable - that could be seen as both an advantage and a disadvantage - in most cases, the end result is the same, it's just how you do it that's different [23:00] billybigrigger, when you double a tv and monitor, do you use twinview? xinerama? [23:00] does Lilo allows to define a specific resolution for it's menu?

[23:39] buntoow: kernel 2.6.24-19 [23:40] i m sorry for the wrong notation.. === `Chris_ is now known as `Chris [23:40] here is my link to the forum http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=974860 i need to figure how I can get my 56k to work for fax only [23:40] shredder12--> okay, so what is the issue again? since you have eth0 working [23:41] eitreach: so not "before X", just when you boot then? [23:41] shredder12--> i have to do something right now, be back in a few [23:41] jrit: Right. [23:41] eitreach: this happens automatically when you install mpd [23:41] jrit: Apparently not. Whenever I restart X, mpd goes down with it. [23:42] Anyone here ever tried setting up RAID? [23:42] CoJaBo-Eee: daily. [23:42] buntoow: earlier when i was using Hardy i got an update for 2.6.24-21 i upgraded my kernel but found that there was no ethernet device when i used the new kernel..so i continued working on 24-19 but when i upgraded my system to intrepid...i faced the same problem with the new kernel..2.6.27-7..that's why i am looking for some solution..?? [23:42] CoJaBo-Eee: though always with hardware raid [23:43] Any experience with software RAID? Hardware RAID is looking way too expensive. [23:43] So is Amarok better than Totem? [23:43] CoJaBo-Eee: Yes. What raid level and hw or sw raid? [23:43] Or is that based on opinion? XD [23:44] is any application for linux that defragment ram? [23:44] CoJaBo-Eee: only with those cheap highpoint cards, and that was almost 10 years ago I'm afraid. I'm sure others have [23:44] Bowtrik: for what purpose..are u using them.. [23:44] eitreach: that's not because mpd is not started before X. You can check yourself that mpd is running as the mpd user. The issue is probably related to pulseaudio, that's my guess anyway [23:44] CoJaBo-Eee: many motherboards support RAID these days [23:44] Just for mp3's. [23:44] is it possible to save as docx in openoffice 2.4 or 3 [23:44] Bowtrik: then amarok is the best.. [23:44] CoJaBo-Eee: raid in Ubuntu is somewhat flaky at the moment. [23:45] I have a really old ubuntu live cd that I need to install from, how can I do this? [23:45] CoJaBo-Eee: ...at least software raid configured in mirror... [23:45] Shredder12, it does seem like it is much better suited to it. But Totem puts up a nice effort at least. [23:45] Does anyone know why readline isn't compiled into irb in Hardy? [23:45] Man, Ubuntu runs sooo much smoother than Kubuntu [23:45] KDE4 is really bloated... [23:46] I'd actually like to get something like RAID 5 working. [23:46] Bowtrik: wait a min..you are talking about Totem Movie player.. isn't?? [23:46] NekroJakub, I have read the same things about that. That Gnome is faster and such. [23:46] CoJaBo-Eee: I haven't played with raid 5 so don't know... [23:47] Shredder12, I was talking about whichever Totem player came with my Ubuntu 8.10 [23:47] how is the awn systray supposed to work? I have added the "awn notification daemon" applet, but nothing appears ... shouldn't i.e. rhythmbox show up if it is running? I have also removed the systray area from the gnome panel since some forums say it could interfere.. [23:48] CoJaBo-Eee: I just know that raid 1 has issues with boot-up after a swapoout/failure of one of the members. [23:48] Bowtrik: well still for mp3s there is nothing better than amarok..i have used plenty of music players and have found nothing like amarok.. [23:48] I need something that can withstand a drive failure, yet still keep most of the space. Looks like RAID 5 is the most popular solution. [23:48] CoJaBo-Eee: That's correct. You want raid5. [23:48] i've got a noticeable audio delay in flash (~.5s), is there a fix? [23:48] shredder12, I think quodlibet has it beat, but those with low IQ often complain about confiuration problems [23:48] Bowtrik: it jst provides so much facilities that you can hardly find anything about it to complain [23:48] can I return to the "Welcome" screen without logging out? [23:49] It won't be the boot drive, so booting off it is not a problem. [23:49] Shredder12, I actually just reinstalled 8.10 Intrepid Ibex, and I forget how to get DvD playback. :( [23:49] Anyone have vpn problem with Ubuntu 8.10. Until i install this version i can't connect to my job (Windows PPTP connection) Thank You! [23:49] * canthony wants to save as docx [23:49] hi. There was a bug fixed in Firefox recently, no earlier than 3.0.4 I belive. So I want to run that version today, on my Intrepid machine. How might I do that? [23:49] PeskyJ, lock screen, switch user [23:49] Rhorse: well i haven't ever used it..infact i am hearing about it the first time..but i would definitely want to try it now.. [23:49] CoJaBo-Eee: Then you should have no issues with it. The installer supports raid configuration and is pretty straight-forward. [23:50] shredder12--> compare the old /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/net/ and in the new to see if drivers are missing or not [23:50] ConstantineXVI: ahh yes, thanks :) === BlueDevil is now known as BlueDevil|Busy [23:50] shredder12: Amarok indeed pwns! *slow reactions ftw* [23:51] shredder12, the best thing about it is it's library scanning: you can add to your library cumulatively, you don't have to rescan every time. [23:51] Can it handle USB drives for the RAID volumes? [23:51] CoJaBo-Eee: Not sure. [23:52] Rhorse: Are you saying there's something actually better than Amarok? o_O [23:52] buntoow: could you again specify which files do i need to compare.. [23:52] where can i find the audio (wmamod) for ubuntu.. all my wmv movies dont have sound on vlc :( [23:52] here is my link to the forum http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=974860 i need to figure how I can get my 56k to work for fax only [23:52] I found amarok a bear to run on 512 mbytes [23:52] installation question -- got an acer 5315, one of the most Ubuntu-hostile laptops in existence. Tons of hardware issues. Any advice, workarounds, etc? [23:53] shredder12--> the driver you used for your nic card [23:53] Rhorse: It's a wolf, not a bear! Just kidding. And what did you find instead? [23:53] but which files?? [23:53] shredder12--> find out which driver your nic card uses.. sudo lshw -C [23:54] kk.. [23:54] how do i find out what video card is running on my computer? [23:54] Should the VESA X module be loading if it isn't specified explicitly in /etc/X11/xorg.conf ? [23:54] I have seen a few guides on USB raid of hard drives and even flash and floppy drives, so it looks like it can be done. [23:55] Anyone have vpn problem with Ubuntu 8.10. Until i install this version i can't connect to my job (Windows PPTP connection) Thank You! [23:55] I don't like racists and niggers [23:55] How can I make Pidgin indicate that someone spoke my name, like underline it or something? [23:55] Its just a matter of how difficult to set up, and how fast it will be I think. [23:55] NekroJakub, quodlibet is perfect (with most of the plugins installed). Fast, light and a fast scanner. Plus you get ex falso thrown in the bargain. [23:55] lol wow [23:55] Is there any good video editing software? [23:55] !language | Nergoth [23:55] Nergoth: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [23:55] CoJaBo-Eee: I would guess it can but I bet the installer won't support it. [23:55] shredder12--> i forget the command.. [23:55] buntoow: i think you mean sudo lshw -C network..isn't?? [23:56] it was joke guys, don't be mad :E [23:56] Rhorse: And what's ex falso? [23:56] CoJaBo-Eee: Only one way to know for sure... [23:56] I have a question.... What does ubuntu or kubuntu offer that SuSE or Slackware don't? [23:56] shredder12--> yah i think that one.. [23:56] poly: Wubi! [23:56] how can I install ubuntu of an old live cd? [23:56] NekroJakub, tag editor, bulk file renamer [23:56] poly--> read their respective home pages please [23:56] poly: The Ubuntu Community! [23:57] So I have checked the documentation, along with everything else I have needed help with, and I can't figure out how to configure my sound card [23:57] a brilliant package system poly [23:57] it's easier to install than slackware [23:57] madguy: that isn tmy experience thus far =p [23:57] i used to run slackware before, and i'm NEVER going to do that again :) [23:57] lol === thunderstrike[A| is now known as thunderstrike [23:57] Rhorse: Do you know how to make Pidgin underline or somehow indicate that someone spoke my nick? [23:57] lol [23:57] nothing against it [23:57] well I went back to windows a few years back fro school use... Im trying to get back into the scene [23:58] Since upgrading to Ibex, my wireless works in about 10 second spurts... with 10-20 seconds pauses between. I am on a Thinkpad T400 using instruction here: http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/Install_Ubuntu_8.10_(Intrepid_Ibex)_on_a_Thinkpad_T400#ThinkPad_11b.2Fg_Wireless_LAN_mini_PCI_Express_Adapter_III_.28Atheros_AR5007EG.2FAR2425_Chipset.29 [23:58] How would I find out what is causing the VESA driver to load? Alternatively, how would I find out what is causing the VESA driver to fail to detect my display? [23:58] Is there any info on how to tell when a drive fails? That seems to be left out of most of the guides I am finding. [23:58] I use xchat, which does this by default. But if you have firefox, chatzilla does it also. Don't know much about Pidgin [23:58] xchat rules === Moshu` is now known as MoshutZu [23:58] I second that... xchat is awesome [23:58] buntoow: well here it is http://paste.ubuntu.com/69400/ [23:58] CoJaBo-Eee: SMART (data from the drive) monitoring tools might be helpful [23:59] irssi finds bit of xchat in its poop [23:59] I have never used anything else [23:59] CoJaBo-Eee--> when the drive can not be loaded is one [23:59] Ahh, I guess getting Xchat might be benefitial. [23:59] hmm [23:59] can someone help me with the probelm that the installer says it cannot mount one of my partitions, an ntfs one [23:59] jrit: If you're still available, you were right. I can start mpc fine, but there's no sound. In /etc/default/pulseaudio I have enabled system-wide - but are there more steps? [23:59] keystr0k, I also like that xchat only charges Winduhs users: 29.99 after trial. 8 ) [23:59] CoJaBo-Eee: Google for, "mdadm" and you will have tons of information on raid maintenance. [23:59] Hey what is the correct way to add the comand to remove and or add a module in rc.local? I know you would do rmmod *module* but you have to put the location of the module not just the name right? [23:59] And damnit, I second the brilliant packager whoever said that [23:59] A couple of clicks, one search... [23:59] Rhorse, WOW. I didn't know they charged! haha. dang.
