[00:00] ddgoose: you gotta replace the Exec=nautilus line in nautilus-bleh.desktop [00:00] Which chat client is better irssi or xchat? [00:00] Cmclean, yes i do use pidgin but webcams ar enot support by it and kopete wont work [00:00] where can i find system sounds? [00:00] Orchid: use mercury [00:00] TopBunny88: whichever one is better for YOU [00:00] and dont say gnome-look.org [00:00] Orchid`: mmmhhh sec [00:00] Orchid`: Gyachi also has video chat support [00:00] about my VPN issue : these files seems to be missing : /etc/NetworkManager/VPN/nm-ppp-starter.name and /etc/dbus-1/system.d/nm-ppp-starter.conf - is there any way I could obtain those manually? [00:00] mercury, is in the repositories deagle ? and whats gyachi? [00:00] boskoop, so there would be no advantage to have /boot, /, and /home? I should just have / and /home? [00:00] nope, no clue [00:00] Mo0oSaH have any idea [00:01] Orchid': http://thebachman.info/public/Versions_Ubuntu/mercury-messenger-1.9.deb [00:01] borislav_simic: what do you mean when you say it doesn't run at all? Do you get some kind of error? What browser are you using? [00:01] TopBunny88: if you're new to linux, you'd probably want to go with Xchat over Irssi [00:01] greghere: advantage is if you want to use an exotic file system on / which isn't supported by grub [00:02] deagle, is it pretty reliable as well? [00:02] yep [00:02] boskoop, Ahh! all makeing sense now, thank you very much :-) [00:02] best software for ipod on 'bantu? [00:02] now keep in mind it's only for the MSN protocol [00:02] greghere: but if you are using ext3 there is nearly no advantage using a sepparate /boot paritition [00:02] np! === zipIock is now known as pooop [00:02] deagle, mercury is an msn messenger.. wha tim looking for is YIM [00:02] oh [00:03] well then... [00:03] :P [00:03] http://www.prizerebel.com/index.php?r=631161 [00:03] haha [00:03] gyachi has a 'Y' in it, i guess you could try that one out === backenfutter is now known as baccenfutter [00:03] borislav_simic: http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash [00:03] What the heck do I need to do to get Intrepid to play a dvd?? [00:03] hey guys. I'm having an issue on ubuntu server (CLI only). When my wireless router is reset, the server does not automatically reconnect. What have I missed? [00:03] So frustrated right now! [00:03] !dvd > blizzo2 [00:03] blizzo2, please see my private message [00:04] a DVD player? :D [00:04] !dvd | blizzo2 [00:04] boskoop, yes I always use EXT3, as everything I learned about file systems seems to indicate that this is the best all round for average joe's like me :-) [00:04] blizzo2: 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 [00:04] * deagle hits a rimshot [00:04] i've now tried the "create USB start disk" feature two times and it failed to bood for the second time... (1st: crc error 2nd: vesamenu not found)... ideas? [00:04] Amarok or Banshee or gtkpod? [00:04] bbl [00:05] I Mez I already installed the restricted extras and I just get some garbled gunk in VLC or the totem movie player [00:05] Then each application poops itself all over my desktop. [00:05] blizzo2: that's not what you need to install. [00:07] Hello when I boot into Ubuntu LiveCD, it loads with the progress bar, then all I get is a black screen with a white blinking _ symbol [00:07] is there a way to fix this, or does it mean it hasn't finished loading [00:07] Has anyone installed Helix, ubuntu 8.04 clone? === Colrol is now known as Rolcol [00:08] i just upgraded to 8.1 and when i go to System | About Ubuntu, this is what the version line says, "Thank you for your interest in Ubuntu - the - released in ." What da...? [00:08] greghere→ maybe you should ask in the Helix channel/mailing list/forum [00:08] nootrope: check for a bug at bugs.ubuntu.com and file one if it doesn't exist [00:09] does anyone know? [00:09] jrib, thanks, i will [00:09] bushwacker: ask an actual question [00:09] why do I only see a blinking _ ? [00:09] magnetron, Yes i will, just thought I would ask her first :-) [00:09] Thanks MEz [00:09] bushwacker→ you may need the alternate CD for install [00:09] !alternate | bushwacker [00:09] bushwacker: 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/8.10/ubuntu-8.10-alternate-i386.iso.torrent [00:09] and thanks jrib [00:10] why? its a brand new computer [00:10] How dopes one install aim on a 3 64bit installatiuon using the deb package provided on aim.com [00:10] and i've loaded the CD before [00:10] TopBunny88: why not use pidgin? [00:10] bushwacker→ because you see a blinking _ [00:10] ok ill try it [00:10] thanks [00:10] magnetron: sudo apt-get install --reinstall lsb-release [00:10] Mez→ what? [00:10] bushwacker: you may want to run "check the cd for defects" from the CD's boot menu [00:10] bushwacker: save the files and folders you want and do a clean install with an iso... you will have less headaches. [00:10] :) [00:10] gone [00:11] magnetron: to fix the about thing - looks like your lsb-release is messe dup [00:11] Mez→ wrong guy [00:11] i have a drive with a partition on it that i can't mount. in /dev all I see is /dev/sda and no /dev/sda1, but if i do "fdisk /dev/sda" and print the partition table, it shows /dev/sda1 -- ntfs [00:11] magnetron: oops [00:11] hey does anyone know about a desktop called "lite"? [00:12] I always have troublw with the tool that puts 'bantu on a USB stick any help? [00:12] koops, icewm lite? litestep for windows? [00:12] Cmclean→ don't use the "persistent file system" setting [00:12] Cmclean: i have problems too, and no answer so far :( [00:13] thanks [00:13] hi how to copy a kernel ? mean from an existing installation to a fresh one on the same machine (just different disk) [00:13] Is anyone here using TVAnts on Ubuntu? [00:13] magnetron: is that one broken? the peristent file feature? [00:13] gavagai, i dont really know, ive read that shift linux has it... but i dont know which one it is, i want to check it out but cant find info on google [00:13] Cmclean, : http://knol.google.com/k/inderjeet-singh/installing-a-ubuntu-hardy-heron-java/1j9pj7d01g86i/2# this will work [00:13] Does anyone know if it is possible to set my laptop so that when I close the screen it gos into lock mode? [00:13] logd→ are you using debian or ubuntu? [00:14] does anyone know how I can rip a CD in MP3 format using sound juicer? the mp3 profile is in the list of profiles and it is set to active. But, it does not show up in the dropdown of option output formats.... [00:14] actually both [00:14] I'm installing Debian and I chose "Guided - use entire disk and set up encrypted LVM". This is what it looks like when I get to finish partitioning http://img227.imageshack.us/img227/8559/screenshotdebian50runniyn1.png . Now I'm a little confused, is *everything* encrypted there? Swap too? (Sorry for asking about Debian here but no answer on #debian. Someone here should know and Ubuntu *is* based on Debian :) ) [00:14] mker: ask the debian channel [00:14] markov: You need the restricted software pack [00:14] mker→ don't ask here, wrong channel [00:15] jrib: i am having trouble figuring out the split command in the man pages [00:15] Cmclean, which one? I've installed several [00:15] how do I disable CD/DVD autoplay? [00:15] a kernel issue regards every distro... yours a brand new kindof racism... [00:15] Markov: it's a command and it a HUGE file of every restricted formay [00:16] Markov: not like those those only do some video some audio etc. [00:16] hey, I have a smartd question - every hour, for the last 6 months or so, smartd writes to syslog /dev/sdc, 4 currently unreadable (pending) sectors -- The hard drive seems ok, I bought a replacement but it's on a raid5, I will wait for it to fail first, but how do I tell smartd I've seen the messages and stop them being repeated? [00:16] Well I'm also interested in how Ubuntu handles it, I'm assuming Ubuntu does it the same way as Debian? Is swap encrypted in the same situation for Ubuntu? [00:16] logd→ the people here are volunteers, we cannot provide support for every distro on earth [00:16] AlexPalmer: split -b SIZE FILE [00:16] Does anyone know what the command is for that? [00:16] what program can I use to make macros that can control ubuntu windows? [00:16] also ok just tell the ubuntu way! [00:16] it is like sudo apt-get ? [00:16] bnfyf: wmctrl [00:17] bnfyf: you might be interested in devilspie as well [00:17] thanks [00:17] Markov: umm can't find the command [00:17] jrib: that's what i have been trying, but i cannot figure out the whole numbering thing. If i want a 100 mb split i am not sure what numbers to type in. Same goes for a 4 GB split. It's very confusing to me [00:17] mker: you would want your swap to be encrypted. A lot of your private data ends up in memory and so in swap. [00:17] can anyone explain why i might see /dev/sda, but not any partitions on it, even though fdisk tells me there is a partition on it [00:18] AlexPalmer: the man page describes the format at the bottom. 100 mb would be: 100MB [00:18] Cmclean, no problem. i'm hunting through synaptic [00:18] Markov: yah likely there [00:18] AlexPalmer: Sorry. It's 100M. See the difference in the man page [00:19] Falstius: Yeah, but does it happen when you choose "Guided - use entire disk and set up encrypted LVM" (I'm assuming it's called exactly the same in Ubuntu, unfortunately I chose graphical installer when installing Ubuntu and I think it's only available in the alternate cd) [00:19] jrib: it says "MB 1000*1000". Ok. and would 4 GB be 4 G? [00:19] AlexPalmer: yes [00:19] jrib: is there a program I can use to record macros more easily? [00:19] what would i run to format a memory stick to fat32 w/o partition table? [00:19] Markov: sudo apt-get install lame gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly-multiverse [00:20] bnfyf: what kind of thing are you thinking of doing? [00:20] hi, has anybody else got problems with the mouse after installing vmware tools on a vmware player 2.5 running ubuntu 8.5 as guest? [00:20] zsquareplusc: gparted [00:20] mker: I don't think it is exactly the same, I don't have a separate /boot partition. [00:20] jrib: I want to configure Remote Desktop from the ubuntu System menu automatically with a shellscript [00:20] Markov: after that sound-juicer should be able to rip to mp3 [00:20] jrib: isnt that creating a partition table anyway? [00:20] Falstius: Interesting, I should get the alternate cd and try it out in VirtualBox. [00:21] zsquareplusc: right. I must have misunderstood what you meant. I assume you have a usb disk now w/o a partition table and want to format it now? [00:21] how can i change server in xchat ( i want to go on quakenet) ?? [00:21] jrib: I want to record mouse and keyboard events then play them back at will [00:22] jrib: i typed in "sudo split -d 100M ~/Desktop/ubuntu* ~/test/testing" and i get an error that says "split: extra operand" but it appears to be working. Thank you so much [00:22] Ktj: /server irc.quakenet.org [00:22] Ktj, /server irc.qua...... [00:22] jrib: i have one with, but it gives me problem with the usb startup disk thing. so i wanted to try it once w/o :-) [00:22] thnx :) [00:22] zsquareplusc: can you format a disk with a filesystem without a partition table? that would be news to me [00:22] thanks boskoop! I was missing gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly-multiverse. I had installed practically every other gstreamer* package I could find.. heh [00:22] ;) [00:22] mker: you can use the livecd to install a virtual machine too (whichever floats your boat) [00:22] how do you add a programs binary to a users (mine in this case) $PATH? [00:22] np [00:22] bnfyf: oh. Maybe xmacro or xnee. I don't know anything about them though [00:22] musikgoat: its how floppies and most usb flash disks for windoze are formated [00:23] smokewon: put the binary in ~/bin/ [00:23] smokewon: or a symlink to it at least [00:23] jrib oh ok === gerrygprs is now known as gerry_gprs [00:23] and that will only be available to me or anyone else? [00:23] where cna i find my kdewallet? [00:23] smokewon: only you [00:23] sorry by ~/bin/ you mean the bin directory on the root directory correct? [00:24] smokewon: ~ means your HOME. Usually, that is /home/your_username [00:24] hi, where does ubuntu call its environment variables for the sudo command? im always getting this error although i have set the java home in /etc/environment [00:24] ./stopserv: 75: /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.5.0-sun/bin/java: not found === gerry_gprs is now known as gerrygprs [00:24] is there a screen grab utility in a vanilla ubuntu installation? if not, can you suggest a good one? [00:24] Falstius: I didn't know that, I'll check it out. Thanks! [00:24] theres no bin directory in my home directory though [00:24] lanoxx: read 'man sudo' [00:24] smokewon: make one [00:24] smokewon: create it [00:24] oh ok [00:25] nootrope: istanbul [00:25] !screencast > nootrope [00:25] nootrope, please see my private message [00:25] Is there a way to make my laptop go to screensaver/lock screen when I close the lid? [00:25] thanks, jrib! [00:26] Hello; I upgraded to Intrepid and now I have _no sound_at all. Pulseaudio keeps reporting en error message. I filed a bug report but got completely unlistened. I don't need the audio so badly, I'd just love to understand what's going on. Can anyone here help me, please ? [00:26] KDB9000: system -> preferences -> power management (maybe) [00:26] KDB9000: did you check the energy options in the preferences? [00:26] jrib, this is very confusing, i dont understand how the $JAVA_HOME can be set to java-5 at all if i have uninstalled it!! [00:26] im getting: ln -S /usr/local/netbeans-6.1/bin/netbeans netbean ln: `netbean' and `./netbean' are the same file [00:26] and no i do not want to apt-get it [00:27] hihi [00:27] lanoxx: you need to give more details as I'm not sure what your issue is exactly [00:27] KDB9000: energy options -> closing lid, activate lock session is screensaver options [00:27] how i can converta .swf to .aci [00:27] smokewon, you want ln -s, not ln -S [00:27] .avi? [00:27] jrib: now i will just type "sudo cat (and then each file path)" and it will work? [00:27] ferfactor, with mencoder perhap [00:28] s [00:28] jrib, zaquareplusc, boskoop it has "do nothing", blank screen" (not lock), "suspend", "hibernate", or "shutdown" [00:28] anyone know why google earth will only login if i run it as sudo? [00:28] is there a tool which allows me to monitor network for all pc in my LAN aeria?(LAN+net monitoring) [00:28] Seveas, mencoder is in the repository?? [00:28] ferfactor, yes [00:28] Seveas thats not working [00:28] AlexPalmer: no sudo. You can do: cat file1 file2 ... fileN > file [00:28] KDB9000 try "blank screen" [00:28] jrib, i had sun-java5 and 6 installed, im compiling my projects with java6 but the glassfish server is running with java5, i removed java5 hoping to get glassfish running with java6 so it wont complain about new versions anymore. now glassfish always complains that it can find java6 [00:28] i can only run "netbeans" in the ~/bin directory [00:28] Seveas i'll check now thanks bro [00:28] jrib: what does the fileN > file mean? [00:28] i want to be able to run netbeans no matter waht dir im in [00:28] lanoxx: what does sudo have to do with this? [00:29] boskoop, I have but it doesn't lock or do screensaver. It just turns the display off. [00:29] and activate lock session when in screensaver mode [00:29] boskoop, already have it enabled [00:29] AlexPalmer: I just mean the last file, so if you had 3 files (N = 3): cat file1 file2 file3 > file [00:29] jrib, in my normal user $JAVA_HOME is sourced from /etc/environment but the sudo command does seem to get this variable from somewhere else [00:29] lanoxx: right. [00:29] jrib, because im starting the glassfish server with root rights [00:29] jrib: is the "> file" where you are saving it? [00:29] AlexPalmer: exactly [00:30] jrib: thank you [00:30] sudo ./startserv [00:30] hmm [00:30] strange [00:30] lanoxx: pastebin commands and errors [00:30] hello, i have some problems concerning ftp server+lftp, does lftp need some specials to do recursive mirroring? [00:30] must be somewhere in your gnome-config [00:30] boskoop, not really. blank screen does what it sounds like. nothing in there says screensaver or lock [00:30] sudo ./startserv ..... ./startserv: 122: /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.5.0-sun/bin/java: not found [00:31] boskoop, I haven't checked gconf yet [00:31] lanoxx: so read startserv and see what is on line 122 [00:31] on 122 is $JAVA_HOME which is set to java-1.5.0 [00:31] it SHOULD however be set to java6 [00:31] lanoxx: set where...? [00:32] lanoxx: you should grep your home directory for "$JAVA_HOME", if its not too big [00:32] i have no idea where, from where ever the sudo command gets the $JAVA_HOME env_variable [00:32] is there a tool which allows me to monitor network for all pc in my LAN aeria?(LAN+net monitoring)?? [00:32] lanoxx: I'm pretty sure that's not set anywhere. sudo -i and run echo $JAVA_HOME [00:32] Ktj, wireshark? [00:33] Ktj: thats a bit more complicate when you have a switch rather than a hub. but there are a few. [00:33] lanoxx: have you rebooted since removing java 1.5 by the way? [00:33] hii [00:33] well i have switch adn then router wich maintain net [00:33] Hi [00:33] running echo $JAVA_HOME as user gives me /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun, [00:34] jrib, yes, just rebootet [00:34] lanoxx: ok, and after sudo -i? [00:34] Ktj: wireshart and iptraf are nice but only show traffic that is at your cable. so not everything if there is a switch [00:34] and i set the $CLASSPATH and $JAVA_HOME variables in /etc/environment [00:34] anyone know how to have a different background for each workstation [00:34] echo $JAVA_HOME [00:34] would it help if i d put all pc to router? [00:34] j1: what window manager? [00:34] is not set [00:34] KDB9000, did you configured "activate screensaver, when user is idle" and "lock screen when screensaver is active" in gnome-screensaver-preferences? [00:35] Ktj: the router probably also is just a switch from the LAN's view [00:35] lanoxx: right. Before we proceed? Did you do: [00:35] !multijava | lanoxx [00:35] lanoxx: To set which java version/implementation is to be used as default, use sudo update-java-alternatives [00:35] s/?/./ [00:35] k [00:35] damn [00:35] Ktj: what yre you needig it for? [00:36] is there some sort of client that would report to my pc if i d instal client on others oc? [00:36] anyone know how to have a different background for each workstation [00:36] j1: you didn't answer my question... [00:36] jrib, ok, what parameters do i give to this script [00:36] well i need this coz my sis is uzin so much of net and i just wana know when se is using(80%) or when dad is usgin(20%) [00:36] lanoxx: update-java-alternatives -l first [00:37] boskoop, Yes. I found it in gconf > gnome-power-manager > lock. I checked blank_screen and it locks when I close my lid. same with use_screensaver_settings if I have the lock enabled in screensavers. [00:37] hello? [00:37] !hi | Twichey [00:37] Twichey: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! [00:37] Ktj: isnt your router having some web interface that shows traffic stats?

[01:38] ed__: e.g. I can't get it to run either [01:38] lol [01:38] !usb | BitWraith [01:38] BitWraith: For information about installing Ubuntu from USB flash drives, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick - For a persistent live USB install, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent [01:38] * burner is rockin the repository pidgin in this irc chat even [01:38] whats the channel for the 9.04 release? [01:38] Lofde_: #ubuntu+1 [01:38] if possible i would like to know if there are any good mmorpg for ubuntu, mybe along the lines of guildwars or wow? [01:38] Actually I've been digging so many documents and so many advices. But they're all different. I was so confused. [01:38] because i am guessing this channel now includes 8.10 right? [01:38] khanm78: both of those games are playable in ubuntu [01:39] musikgoat well you know the orange border around all of ubuntus windows, Well, its gone and its hard to move them or close them [01:39] -_- I downloaded Irfanview zip files from another site thinking I could install that via WINE but no - the zip is just a zip file with the installer exe inside [01:39] withot wine? [01:39] khanm78: you can play wow... otherwise, check out playdeb? [01:39] Lofde_: #ubuntu+1 is for jaunty [01:39] Lofde_: this channel includes all of the final _and_ supported releases [01:39] I have 3com webcam and I tried to install gpcav but I failed. [01:39] khanm78: playable with wine... is that a bad thing? [01:39] oo whats play deb? [01:39] can anyone tell me how to switch the fn key's function around on a laptop? [01:39] www.playdeb.net [01:39] l0newolf: isn't that just an image viewer? There are plenty of native image viewers for linux [01:39] not realy was more looking for native linux games [01:39] pidgin keeps freezing/crashing after a few seconds of use.. any ideas? [01:39] geotsai: xmodmap might be able to do it. I don't know if it works with all fn keys or not [01:40] and how do you make your txt red like that?? [01:40] thanks fryguy. ill look into it [01:40] wine == native... it's not an emulator.. says so in the name even [01:40] khanm78: your client will highlight text for you if your name is mentioned in the line of text [01:40] ok thanks for todays help cyas [01:40] TwicheyUL: ahh, i cant help with that, but you can ask in #ubuntu-effects or ask here again [01:40] jrib: no it has a lot of options, image resize, cropping, paste from clipboard to save as file, batch conversion, quality option for trimming filesize etc. [01:40] ahh [01:40] burner: if it were native, you wouldn't need wine :) [01:40] musikgoat thx anyway [01:40] khanm78: it's only red for you :) [01:40] jrib : yes virtual machine. how to install virtual machine in ubuntu 8.04 desktop and how to install window xp pro in virtual machine of ubuntu 8.04? I review all the icons and the gnome menu I haven't found any virtual machine icons there... [01:40] TwicheyUL: no prob [01:40] can everyone just have a TIMEOUT for a sec? [01:40] l0newolf: tried gthumb? [01:40] jrib: after i type one message in pdigin it crashed [01:41] kk to highlight a respons / question directed to me [01:41] !virtualizers > jigp [01:41] boskoop: Doesn't seem to be working. I put it into the windows explorer and it brought up firefox and timed out [01:41] jigp, please see my private message [01:41] After downloading the gpcav1-20071224, I typed the command ./gpcav_build, but error message came out. [01:41] jrib: is this something to do with the fix? [01:41] i can't think with all the comments FLYING back and forth!!!!!!! [01:41] Coolname007: there are over 1300 people in this channel, that is unlikely [01:41] jrib: nope, I'm in here asking if there's a similar program for Ubuntu but you're the first to answer. I'll take a look [01:41] ed___: haven't seen that. Try running pidgin from a terminal [01:41] ardchoille: that's like saying if aisleriot were native, you wouldn't need gtk... wine is just the underlying libraries :) [01:41] boskoop: I can see it in my network places but It says I don't have permission to access [01:41] l0newolf: f-spot is nice too [01:41] STOP IT!!!!!!!! [01:41] Error: the module is not loaded ...blah blah blah something like that. [01:41] RivitingOne: hmm, did you use \\ (doublebackslash)? [01:41] khanm78: And you do the same sort of thing by typing the first few characters of the person's name, then hitting (it's the shortcut). Usually a client will add a : or a , at the end [01:41] burner whats playdeb plz [01:41] Colonel_Panic: no [01:41] oops [01:42] yeah, I'll try again rq to be sure [01:42] Coolname007: No [01:42] Coolname007: you might want to try the forums or mailing list [01:42] !support > Coolname007 [01:42] Coolname007, please see my private message [01:42] khanm78: use the google mi amigo.... www.playdeb.net [01:42] I just fresh installed ibex and used my old seperate partiton that contained /home and all my data. I now find that the Applications/Accessories menu is GONE. I've tried editing the menu to see if it was checked, but it's JUST NOT THERE. How do I recover it? [01:42] khanm78: For example, to highlight me, you can just type "lav" usually. [01:42] burner lol kk [01:42] jrib : ah yeah I installed already a WINE. is that all?but when I double click the setup.exe in win xp pro cd I cannot proceed to installation.... [01:42] lavacano201014, ahh [01:42] jigp: wine is not a virtualizer. Try virtualbox [01:42] RivitingOne: ah ok, did you shared your folder for guest users too? [01:42] jigp: www.virtualbox.org [01:42] boskoopum... [01:43] Coolname007: the forums are great for slower communications [01:43] jrib: there is no output in the terminal after it crashes :S [01:43] Actually, ubuntu(including other linux versions) seems to give me too much freedom to handle. [01:43] nice collection of games here [01:43] jigp: Now that you have Wine going, just run your .exe file through it, and Ta-Der. [01:43] ed___: try with a new user to see if it is a config issue [01:43] jrib: ok [01:43] jrib : burner : ok ill download it [01:43] musikgoat ok i fixed it [01:43] jigp: it's in the repositories as virtualbox-ose [01:43] TwicheyUL: good [01:43] lavacano201014 : Ta-Der? [01:43] boskoop I don't see guest as an option on the list [01:44] jigp: install it from the ubuntu repositories. apt-cache search virtualbox for the relevant packages [01:44] most of people don't know how to handlel their freedom, especially in using computer. [01:44] jigp: It's the *cool* way of saying "ta-da" [01:44] AH. does anyone else on Ibex have an "Accessories" menu under Applications? Looks like mine moved to "Utilities" [01:44] lavacano201014: jigp wants to install windows xp, not just install individual .exe [01:44] I can't get java to work in firefox. What do I need to install to get the GCJ plugin to work? [01:44] RivitingOne: how did you created your share? [01:44] oakmac: is java listed in about:plugins? [01:44] musikgoat Kinda hard to move them when the dont have a drag bar [01:44] jrib: I used to dualboot. Stopped when I had multiple machines. [01:44] oakmac: gcjwebplugin [01:44] TwicheyUL: alt+mouse works as well :-) [01:45] lavacano201014: I meant jigp wanted to install win xp in a virtual machine [01:45] Izinucs: i have accesories... [01:45] thanks jrib; that's installing now - hopefully should work [01:45] so do i Izinucs === paulj1 is now known as pauljw [01:45] I see that ubuntu CAN be installed over USB... does the computer that prepares the USB drive have to have the same architecture as the one that will be booting for the install? [01:45] boskoop: one of the many sites said to type in shares-admin to bring up shared folders, you unlock it, go to users and select the ones you want with a check in the box next to the name [01:45] musikgoat ima on a touchpad right now so it would be kinda akward [01:45] how can i get access to my ecrypted map in 8.10 . Hw can is et properties for it [01:45] tripitakit: weird.. I just did a fresh install and used my old home.. Accessories is gone and everything that was there is now under "Utilities" [01:45] TwicheyUL: i can understand [01:45] boskoo: but guest isn't on that list [01:45] jrib: Does he have enough RAM to handle it OK? I have a gig in my fastest machine, and everything other than VirtualBox tends to gag a lil' [01:45] oakmac: you might want to check out sun's java... which is part of "ubuntu-restricted-extras" which installs all kinds of goodies [01:45] this SUCKS!!!!!!!! [01:46] musikgoat: ^--^ [01:46] BitWraith: u need the iso so dont think u need the same arch [01:46] burner: I forgot about you. Did you sort out the appletouch issue? [01:46] Izinucs: i did an upgrade, so maybe thats whats different [01:46] lavacano201014: ask jigp :) [01:46] ok, thanks [01:46] Guess what? Last night, I tried kernel building that was totally unnecessary for me. It took more than 4 hours on my celeron 1Ghz machine. I stopped it to restore my default kernel. [01:46] Izinucs: but i haven't heard of that [01:46] 1359 users in the same channel is KIND of lame!!!!!!!! [01:46] Izinucs: i did a clean install .. [01:46] musikgoat: I did a fresh install but used my old /home.. tripitakit [01:46] Coolname007: please don't be disruptive [01:46] jrib: i didn't... and I don't feel bad... i'm able for the most part ;) http://burner.ath.cx:800/trackpad-mac.fdi.txt is my fdi though if you care to take a gander [01:46] hello people. any ideas on this? http://pastebin.com/m317507f0 (after hours googling..) [01:46] *flying comments back and forth* [01:46] jigp: Incidentally, how much RAM do you have? [01:46] whynot: you were almost certainly building more than just a kernel. A kernel compile on a 1ghz machine should take less than an hour [01:46] I am trying to install to a PS3, but I don't have any blank CDs or DVDs handy, so I'll have to wrestle with a stick instead [01:46] Coolname007, use the ubuntuforums then [01:46] burner: let me grab my macbook, it will make this easier [01:47] Is there an easy way to up the verbosity in /var/log/syslog ? [01:47] Coolname007: everyone else seems to cope just fine [01:47] how can i get access to my ecrypted map in 8.10 . Hw can is et properties for it [01:47] how am i supposed to get my question across then, jrib? [01:47] Coolname007: you ask it. like everyone else [01:47] anybody? [01:47] jrib: thanks much... I've got everything else dialed in on this [01:47] "An error occurred while loading this applet." linux problem? It's TDAmeritrade's site so I trust that their applet is correct (I use it on windows all the time) [01:47] fryguy/ I think so. I was afraid of what I was doing, because I didn't know what I was doing. [01:47] Coolname007: I told you that you needed to ask a better question that explains your exact issue in details on a single line. You never did [01:47] jrib: can't find similar functionality of cropping, I can use other programs but Irfanview has a very simple method for it. [01:47] Izinucs: i see, have no idea, could be right as happend to you in your case, cant u move it to the usal place= [01:47] ok, so I have my /home on a separate partition from the other stuff, so when I do a clean install on the / partition, how do I get it to use my preexisting /home partition? [01:48] whynot: there are very few reasons to compile your own kernel as a normal user. What were you trying to accomplish [01:48] oakmac: try the Sun Java... gcj is cool and open... but not always compatible [01:48] burner: I see why I forgot about you now. Your link is timing out on me [01:48] yes...jrib! i DID!!!!!!! [01:48] ^^^^^^^^^^^^ [01:48] I have just installed Ubuntu and I have a GeForce 2Ti nvidia card, my computer is acknowledging it I can't find the right driver in Hardware Drivers. Can anyone help? [01:48] just take a look! [01:48] tripitakit: It won't let me rename it.. Also on my logout button the only options I have are "Log Out" and "Switch User".. Is this a new menu? [01:48] oakmac:you might need the java firefox plugin in synaptic [01:48] Anyone here using OO.o 3.0 on Ubuntu 8.10, and if so, how? [01:48] LastTango: i suppose u just mount it under you home dir [01:48] What are the packages I need to install the Sun Java plugin? [01:48] jrib: http://pastebin.com/d4b23a758 [01:49] fryguy/ The only reason I tried to kernel compling was...I thought it might load the webcam driver. [01:49] Coolname007: you have no asked a question in the past 20 minutes [01:49] I prefer to stick to apt, they have a PPA, but when I add it all the packages are held back [01:49] whynot: uvcvideo? [01:49] 3com webcam lite [01:49] * burner remembers he's downloading a torrent and apache is probably dying trying to serve up a simple text file [01:49] burner: 0 try changing 0 to 1 [01:49] Izinucs: the logout menu has changed but there are other options in mine [01:49] whynot: I'm just waiting for the working webcam stuff to show up in normal updates [01:49] oakmac: sun-java6-plugin [01:49] RivitingOne: try sharing your folder by right-clicking in nautilus on the folder and selecting "sharing options" [01:49] I kept 8.04 aroudn in the mean time [01:50] RivitingOne: there you can select guest access [01:50] burner: I'll grab my macbook if that doesn't work [01:50] that package is not available [01:50] thanks, musikgoat i didn't know the exact name [01:50] thiebaude: np [01:50] jrib: i changed it to a 1, restarted hal via sudo /etc/init.d/hal restart, and still no single finger tap-click [01:50] tripitakit: looking in the Add to Panel screen there is a "Shut Down" appelate. weird [01:50] Actually, my ubuntu recognize 3com webcam. Checking lsusb showed me that my machine recognize 3com webcam. but It didn't work well in Ekiga [01:50] jrib: sure it works for you even? another friend of mine has a macbook with the same issue [01:50] whynot: the drivers are broken [01:51] whynot: but a fix is on the way, it should update within a few days [01:51] burner: we'll find out in a sec [01:51] how violent [01:51] ok, that sounds great [01:51] Izinucs: cant help on that i'm using the italian localization of intrpid [01:51] ok help!! [01:52] hi all [01:52] !ask | Bit_Breaker [01:52] Bit_Breaker: 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. :-) [01:52] Bit_Breaker: dont panic :P [01:52] tripitakit: I had to add the "User Switcher" appelate to get the other functions available in the menu.. [01:52] does anyone have any pointers about the built-in sd card reader not mounting and sd card? [01:52] i've just started getting an error on startup saying that my $HOME/.dmrc file is being ignored, and that i should make sure that i own it and set the permissions to 644. [01:52] oakmac: hmm you may have to install ubuntu-restricted-extras [01:52] i checked the permissions and owner and everything is as it should be. [01:52] any suggestions? [01:52] droids: and did you follow those 2 recommendations? [01:52] Izinucs: so they are there, fine [01:52] droids: just rename the file [01:52] fryguy: indeed i did. [01:52] droids: what about your home directory? is it owned by you as well? [01:52] tripitakit: weird that it wasn't installed that way to begin with.. [01:53] Izinucs: i agree [01:53] thanks musikgoat; doing that now [01:53] droids: what happens if you delete the file and restart X11? [01:53] oakmac: https://jdk-distros.dev.java.net/ubuntu.html, i hope that works [01:53] ok i have a dell 4600 that i want to install ubuntu on. if possible i want it to be the same image as my laptop Compaq F572 [01:53] fryguy: is that really a wise move? [01:53] hello people. any ideas on this? http://pastebin.com/m317507f0 (after hours googling..) [01:53] droids: there's nothing important in the file, it can be deleted without issue [01:53] the only issue is i have to do an install over mu local network [01:53] fryguy: yeah, my home folder is owned by me as well, by the way. [01:53] Bit_Breaker: just install it normally, then copy your home directory over [01:53] droids: if you insist, move it out of the way and restart X [01:53] Bit u can look for a cloning tool... [01:54] boskoop ok I did that and created the share. Still nothing when I input ip and folder and still gives permission issues when I click on the network folder. Think I should try removing the share stuff I put in with the shares-admin thing?

[02:36] so just sudo adduser nick2 nick2 to revert to what it should be? [02:36] fryguy: that simply adds the user to the gorup doesn't change the default group [02:36] if nick2 is my user name? [02:36] droids: no [02:36] Falstius: I copy pasted that in and it said command not found [02:36] linguini: if you have static IP configuration, then it's not really needed [02:36] Dulak: the user doesn't exist yet, so it will set the default group [02:36] fryguy: animated wallpapers, maybe a dockbar, windows effects etc. i just want to explore the eye candy front! :) [02:36] i just try to run vmware-config-tools.pl its stuck on prompt asking about "what is the location of directory of C header files that match your running kernel? /usr/src/linux/include" i didn't know about this line can please someone help me thanks.

[02:40] Mars, is your computer on? [02:40] anyone know of a way to extract into mp3 the audio from a mp4? [02:40] droids, use sudo not su [02:41] Falstius: is there a way to reset? [02:41] linguini: you would use the network service instead of NetworkManager. [02:41] bazhang: why not? i'm getting conflicting instructions here. [02:41] lolo2: mplayer/mencoder/ffmpeg can do that. check out their manpages for usage information [02:41] droids, it is ubuntu policy. use sudo [02:41] Can anyone solve my sound problem with my audigy 2 card?

[02:43] whynot, it isnt tho...i restarted [02:43] and nothing [02:43] still [02:43] ah. [02:44] make sure the kernel detects the card [02:44] on the gnome network config it doesnt even show as an ioption [02:44] kansan: i think this might do it: apt-get -o DPkg::Options::="--force-confmiss" --re [02:44] fryguy: why will it fail? i thought root had absolute priveleges. [02:44] Mars/Restart your system.

It seems the kernel mod for my sound card is not installed and I'm trying to figure out how to install it.

[02:45] droids: it will have the same effect as sudoing (you will fail at .gvfs) [02:45] kansan: that command will reinstall all files that came with the package cups [02:45] fryguy: so did hardy, but there still seemed to be some alsa stuff at the core [02:45] Mars/Are you able to connect to the internet wired? [02:45] most hardware issue are kern mod related [02:45] fryguy: any way to change back to nick instead of root without using exit? exit will close the terminal, and i don't have menu permissions to reopen it. [02:45] Dulak: what about "admin" group? it hasn't got any members at least on fresh ubuntu server install [02:45] there are packages: cups cups-client cups-common . i actually do not know which package has your config files in it [02:45] i installed virtualbox [02:45] nibsa1242b: right, pulseaudio acts as a layer on top of kernel level stuff, which is alsa [02:45] that's the only thing i did... [02:45] droids: exit will not close the terminal [02:45] Mars/Uh oh. Virtualbox. [02:46] juac: admin is for sudo access, make a new group unless you want to give these users access to sudo [02:46] fryguy: oh, right.

[02:50] :-( Now I read: [02:50] linguini: you can and should disable anything you aren't using on a server. you can use the services gui from system->administration instead of chkconfig. I'm just old school.

If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [02:57] Falstius: Oh, good thanks; I think there is already a symlink for networking in /etc/rcS.d/S40networking . I'll probably just use apt-stuff to completely remove NetworkManager. [02:57] you need to edit /etc/network/interfaces to define your netwok card and ip address.

But I use the gparted live cd for all my partitioning needs anyway [03:27] Freak> I'm not sure about Ubuntu, but I recommend a program called Gparted. there's a live boot image on the website. it can resize FAT32 and NTFS partitions.

[03:27] droids: i'm guessing.. deluser [03:28] droids: second guess would be userdel [03:28] if i'm using a switch and ubuntu as the router, do I need to make a bridge? [03:28] The thing is, the computer I'm using isn't sufficient to run the Live CD. It only has 256MB RAM [03:28] nowimproved: no [03:28] L3Tum> I think you're looknig at cached memory. that's not actually in use, it can be used at any time if needed, but it's there to free up some disck i/o load if you re-open the same programs. [03:28] droids, use deluser, it's pretty smart about removing users. Just don't remove your original user, unless you've already made another one a member of the admin group [03:28] c0mput3r/lol. That's the way I installed ubuntu on my pc. [03:28] Ok I have tried to set up A LAMP server on 8.10 normal but it failed I need a walktrough other than the normal documentation!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1 [03:28] fryguy, the two computers can ping each other, but I can't ping out on the other computer, what could i be doing wrong?

[03:30] bazhang, lol uhm its an Nvidia Legacy card [03:30] bazhang, lol u helped me before [03:30] The impression I'm getting is that I should use another program to partition my hard drive for ubuntu. Any suggestions? [03:30] m4cdaddy, what version of ubuntu [03:30] c0mput3r/first I made it ntfs for windows 2000 but I changed it into fat32. and ext3 for ubuntu when I install ubuntu. [03:31] fryguy: regardless, you're devoting quite a bit of time just to helping others. it's awesome. [03:31] root_demon - alright thanks. I just noticed that things start getting very slow when the memory shows it's getting full, but I'll try re-opening the programs. [03:31] Freek: i might be missing context, but gparted it a tool you can use to do partitioning [03:31] bazhang, 10.4? i think i just updated [03:31] dude fat32 sucks [03:31] but u know that right [03:31] ? [03:31] Freak> go download the Gparted live CD, and use that to resize your partition. then install Ubuntu or whatever. seriously. it's by far the best tool. [03:32] c0mput3r/it works fine for me. I don't care about ntfs or fat32 [03:32] what's an easy decent irc in repos? this one's unusable in this channel [03:32] Howdy folks. I've got an annoying problem with my /dev/sdb1 [03:32] nickred: do you know a command for removing groups? the users are gone, but their groups are still there. [03:32] jamiejackson: i use and prefer irssi [03:32] jamiejackson: XChat [03:32] irssi [03:32] my whole OS is encrypted :) [03:32] i'll try irssi [03:32] nickred: nevermind, it got rid of them. [03:33] http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Intrepid m4cdaddy please check here [03:33] brb, restarting x. [03:33] * lavacano201014 uses XChat because he's in a lot of channels/networks at once [03:33] how do i control brightness via CLI [03:33] L3Tum> um, well, it should actually be faster :-p if it is getting slow, it might be because you're using more swap space. that will slow you down. you can try "sudo swapoff -a; sudo swapon -a". that will unmount and then remount your swap partition, moving everying back into RAM. I recommend typing in "free -m" into xterm and seeing if swap is the problem. how much RAM do you have? [03:34] My system got shut down without my knowing it (power outage, possibly) and, when it rebooted, /dev/sdb1 was mounted with / as the mountpoint. [03:34] L3Tum: change swappiness to 10 [03:34] blainn: And it's supposed to be...? [03:34] but i read about encrypted hard drives...they can be hacked by dumping the memory from the ram! :( [03:34] anyone know why my audigy2 will temporarily give sound when drivers are reloaded.. but stops again?? [03:34] c0mput3r: why? [03:34] bazhang, well i have the Driver and its installed but it said restricted driver is in use? is there something i have to change something to use it? [03:34] When I do use GParted(probably by USB, since i don't have many CDs to spare), how many partitions should I make and to what settings. If it helps, I have a 40GB hard drive. [03:34] c0mput3r: url? [03:34] m4cdaddy, please read that link [03:34] c0mput3r: i'm some situations that is true. not all encryption implementations are vulnerable to that (what I use on my system isn't) [03:34] but still pretty safe. unless someone knows how to dump the password [03:34] It was supposed to be what is in /etc/fstab, which is /home/blain/sambatest [03:35] Hi [03:35] why? cause i can :) [03:35] !vpn [03:35] From more information on vpn please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Gaming_VPN_Using_PPTPD [03:35] bazhang, hardy [03:35] anyone know why my audigy2 will temporarily give sound when drivers are reloaded.. but stops again?? [03:35] c0mput3r: any encryption can be cracked, if your incription is good it will take alot of CPU time, but given the farms we have today even that will be a matter of days, so if they want your data they will get it [03:35] Does anyone know how Ubuntu compares to Puppy 4.0? [03:35] Freek: 3 partitions, 1 for / 1 for /home and 1 for swap [03:35] root_demon - I have 1 GB of RAM [03:35] And it won't let me umount it, because other partitions share / as a mountpoint. [03:35] okay, one more time with irssi [03:35] blainn: So /dev/sdb1 was supposed to be mounted to a folder in your homefolder, but instead it thinks it's /. [03:35] Dominik1 - How do I do that? [03:36] blainn: Ow. [03:36] Yes. Exactly. [03:36] m4cdaddy, then change the link I gave you to hardy and that will do it [03:36] has anyone had a problem after dist-upgrading to intrepid with their optical drive not having a /dev entry anymore? [03:36] L3Tum: why do you wanna encrypt? [03:36] Dominik1: mind if I message you? [03:36] fryguy: no [03:36] psynophile: you rebooted? [03:36] fryguy: I mean, go ahead [03:36] Gnea: yea, twice [03:36] Dominik1: or you can just send them to jail like UK [03:36] blainn: If you have a LiveCD (of an older version of Ubuntu or whatever) you can mount whatever partition is SUPPOSED to be / and check to see if your /etc/fstab got screwy [03:36] zenlunatic: what? [03:36] Then with a little work, I think you can mount it read-write and fix it [03:37] psynophile: does it show up in dmesg? [03:37] i installed Ubuntu in a Sony PCG-TR1F but i dont have sound... any one here can hel me?? [03:37] anyone know why my audigy2 will temporarily give sound when drivers are reloaded.. but stops again?? [03:37] so i've got a busted ubuntu that i'm tryig to fix via live cd and chroot. doing an apt-get upgrade, and winbind is giving me problems: http://pastebin.com/d6e38a271 [03:37] Hello, has anyone time to help? I've spent hours searching for solutions (days even). I'm running 6.06 and trying to install DRI but get error. Couldn't find any package whose name or description matched "linux-dri-modules-common" [03:37] My /etc/fstab seems to be fine (will go check). [03:37] Gnea: nope, but it worked fine with hardy... [03:37] !sound | ed1 [03:37] ed1: 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 [03:37] L3Tum> yeah, better off changing the swappiness like Dominik1 said. google a tutorial on it. [03:37] Gnea: what module even...loads ide dvd drives? [03:37] psynophile: then it's not detecting it... weird [03:37] Gnea: thanks for pointing that out to me.. but i have tried all that it offers [03:38] Gnea: none of it helps [03:38] And it is, other than that a line that says "/dev/sdb1/ /" [03:38] Wonder if that might be the problem. [03:38] So If I make 3 new partitions(/, home, and swap), how large should they be, and how should I go about keeping my Win2k instalation as a dualboot? [03:38] ed1: er, that was supposed to be for ferfactor, actually... did you check the connection of your speakers to make sure they're plugging in all the way? [03:38] Can anyone help me out? I'm trying to install Gnome-ppp on my Ubuntu machine, problem is it has no internet connection. I downloaded Gnome-ppp on my windows machine and transferred it over to my other machine, but i'm have a stupid moment and cant figure out how to install it [03:39] nuline370> maybe upgrade to the latest release? [03:39] Gnea: I think c0mput3r was referring to the cold boot attacks that was in the media earlier this year, there's a wikipedia article on it [03:39] Gnea, where i can checl the speakers???

[03:56] sweet, thanks man [03:56] politico, also if you want to install intrepid you will just need to compile the madwifi-hal you can ask here. [03:56] unitedpotsmokers, yeah, that worked with me last time. [03:56] coolness [03:56] ok faryshta ... thanks.. [03:56] i admit that I'm pretty apprehensive about it [03:57] if that don't work then just install the java packages from synaptic. [03:57] because installing slackware was a trip haha [03:57] root_demon >> hey, if i do abandon 6.06 do you know of a good guide or wiki or somthing to speed up things on a later release? [03:57] if i could tweak 7.04 to speed it up would be good [03:57] politico, jajaja yeah I have used slackware to. [03:57] so, is there, maybe, a way to tell my system to reconfigure its hardware so that maybe it can detect the DVD drive? [03:57] Well you can always give a try with the liveCD first. [03:58] psynophile - BIOS is your only hope... otherwise whatever dmesg says is what you've got. [03:58] faryshta, will the installation process be difficult, or pretty self-explanatory? [03:58] politico, The only thing that don't work out of the box is the wifi, which as I told you just need the madwifi-hal [03:58] midrape: it might actually be in dmesg and i might not know what i'm looking for, lol [03:58] brodymcd: have u run update? [03:58] yeah, i've read that in some various articles [03:58] but, from the instructions i've seen, it's pretty straight forward [03:58] politico, the installation is 7 steps, 6 of them are piece of cake. [03:58] anyone know why my audigy2 will temporarily give sound when drivers are reloaded.. but stops again?? [03:59] yesss [03:59] lol [03:59] politico, one of them ask you the way you want to install the partitions. [03:59] does Kubuntu One include compiz? [03:59] Xubuntu-One* [04:00] I don't think so politico but in order to install just need to select some packages of the synaptic manager. [04:00] I have compiz con my XFCE. [04:00] oh, ok. that's not a big deal [04:01] anyone know why my audigy2 will temporarily give sound when drivers are reloaded.. but stops again?? [04:01] alright, so there's still some things that i don't get on a permissions listing. "drwxrwx--- 1 root plugdev 0 2008-11-13 00:15 Books " the drwxrwx--- is the part that i understand. what does what follows mean?

[04:01] lol === mauhur is now known as govinda [04:02] faryshta, the other option i've been looking at is a network install... but i've never even attempted that. Is it a bit more complicated? [04:02] isnt installing compiz on xubuntu kinda defeating the point of a "light" desktop? [04:02] politico, I have not a clue jajaja. [04:03] haha, it's cool [04:03] The network installation will give you a totally optimizated and actualizated installation but you will have to do it on text mode. [04:03] bleh. [04:03] not thank you [04:03] no* [04:03] Ok darkbishop, I have figured out a little more. I know I need to do a ./configure, then make, install etc. Problem is the ./configure ends quickly saying it cannot create executables [04:03] not yet faryshta, because now i update my system, i will do after update is finish [04:03] I also prefer liveCD.

To fix this, manually edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf and change DefaultDepth to 16. [04:40] hmm, isn't there some kind of.."advanced" settings tab or somthing for XChat?

[04:42] nickrud, SPM shows no version of openoffice installed, but tells me it can't install because it needs certain dependencies that weren't selected. [04:42] luisa: ubuntu has more and newer repos than debian [04:42] faryshta: thanks. i've looked all over the place. tried a whole load of commands but nothings helped :/ [04:42] hugo, you downloaded a file that ended in tar.gz or tar.bz2 ?

[04:46] how do you run an app with sudo permissions? say i want to use notepad to edit a root-owned file... how would i do that? [04:46] scunizi, does CompizFusion have that specific effect? I've seen something called "elements" but it's not the same as the one in the youtube video. does this mean the effect has dissappeared altogether? (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YKEcz_OTTBk at 1:20) [04:46] does anyone else seem to get reduced speeds from synaptic manager? [04:46] Luisa: Debian has many more packages in the repositories.

If it is too slow, try a different window manager, such as XFCE.

I even typed echo Hello World, and nothing was printed [05:10] hellslinger, is that a kernel command? [05:10] djhash: it wasn't doing anything with the commands [05:10] govinda: you might want to put those same programs in the blacklist file as well so they don't come back after upgrading something. [05:10] govinda: What is installed has little bearing on the speed of the machine. What is *running* does. More RAM is always good and so is using a lighter desktop, though I dispute that XFCE is appreciably lighter than KDE or Gnome (I've run documented tests.) [05:10] qah: did you press "ctrl+alt+f1" [05:11] scunizi, no, it is ubuntufirewall, however when i remove the package I still have to execute that command [05:11] djhash: No I didn't. What does that do? [05:11] but i like gnome :( [05:11] qah: takes you to a command line terminal [05:11] cilkay: send the link of your documented tests [05:11] djhash: Oh.

Specifically what do you do with it once you have it. How is it run or implemented? [05:12] richard_: im not here. [05:12] hellslinger, might still be in /usr/bin .. you could also put it in System>Admin>Services.. also if you uninstalled the program you might do it again using purge [05:12] * stojic licks fogobogo [05:12] whyameye: Where TLUG = Toronto Linux User Group, a.k.a. GTALUG. It's archived on gmane. [05:12] qah: thats what I said before.. you have 6 ttys.. 1 through 6.. and to change to them you can press "ctrl+alt+f[1-6]" [05:12] RivitingOne from a terminal, type "sh somescript" [05:12] stojic: that tickles!!

[05:12] djhash: That did the trick. :) [05:13] fogobogo: try to relax [05:13] cilkay that's why I had govinda start with removing any progams that start at startup if he knows for sure he doesn't use those. If your not using those programs their each claiming a chunk of mem right off the bat. Removing the unneeded startup apps helped me alot [05:13] does no IPv6 routers mean anything to anyone here? [05:13] i cant find where to query if there is ipv6 support in my ethernet device [05:13] morningwalker, rename them with a dot "." in the front of the file/folder name [05:13] djhash: How can I install other desktop environments? [05:13] its a sis900 [05:13] qah, like what? xfce? [05:13] lyons: it means you dont have any connection to any routers that has either ipv6 enabled or supports ipv6 [05:13] djhash: Yes [05:13] * fogobogo relaxes [05:13] qah: sudo apt-get install BLAH [05:14] oh cool [05:14] thanks [05:14] scientes: do you actually see sis900 eth interface when you do "sudo ifconfig -a" [05:14] could that cause my wireless connection to die? [05:14] djhash: So if I want xfce for instance, I just type sudo apt-get install xfce? [05:14] govinda: Try IceWM. It looks sort of like Windows 95. It doesn't have the features of KDE or Gnome but it's quite fast and light. [05:14] qah, sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop, kubuntu-desktop etc [05:14] qah: yes. [05:14] qah: sudo apt-get install xfce4 [05:14] oh okay [05:14] yes briank its up but my router does not suport ipv6 (my switch does though) [05:14] qah: sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop [05:14] Thanks guys [05:14] im sure thats what it is [05:14] Does anyone know the command to list what programs are using a sound card? [05:15] cilkay, thank you, but i'll stick with gnome, its not that bad [05:15] scientes if your router doesn't support IPv6 then you need to blacklist it and that will stop it from running at startup [05:15] Stupid me tried building xfce from source earlier. :) [05:15] you just need to remove what you dont need [05:15] or buy a new computer :) [05:15] no what im trying to do is know if i can set up a ipv6 router [05:15] HYY [05:15] nonoonooo, its for vista [05:15] WHAT [05:16] HEY [05:16] HAH [05:16] scientes: why? for fun?

[05:26] scunizi, nope it didnt, thanks tho [05:26] zack - also, is nvidia listed in /etc/X11/xorg.conf ??? [05:26] mindrape, isn't it better to tell somehow X to not use it at all? [05:26] zack - xorg.conf. :) [05:26] mindrape, yes, only nvidia is listed in xconf [05:26] xorg.conf :) [05:27] the intel is not listed there [05:27] Ferrenrock: you sir, are a sinister person [05:27] You guys talking about installing Nvidia drivers?

Could that be the problem? [05:29] droopsta915: np [05:29] Ferrenrock: just curious. have you considered using the manual? [05:29] zack - you can try to rig it.... CTRL ALT F2 to drop to console... kill X... rmmod the intel driver... bring up X :P [05:29] fogobogo: just make a program that fakes the pay per view protocol [05:29] fogobogo: yeah, I have it, it's 5 inches (12 centimeters) away from me [05:29] mindrape - ok, disappearing for awhile :) will be back [05:29] how to configure nautilus to run a script when an audio CD is inserted?

[05:33] hhhhhhhyyyyyyyyyy [05:34] empathy is a IM which supports gtalk voice chat [05:34] treats: depends on what you mean by remote desktop [05:34] how can i allow ssh access on ubuntu 8.04 server? [05:34] Yondering, still tough getting ati to work sometimes [05:34] i want to, over the web, use remote desktop so i can then be away from this shitty room I am in and work on this box [05:34] DasE1: hey i ran alsamixergui [05:34] scunizi, that's what I was afraid of. Thanks. [05:34] treats: freenx is not quite as easy as vnc but it runs a LOT better imo [05:34] DasE1: what should i do from there? [05:35] subir, sudo aptitude install openssh-server [05:35] Yondering, already have that package [05:35] ed1: does the soundcard appear in the upper panel of alsa-gui ?

[05:35] bossgane: you can install empathy from synaptic:) [05:35] Dulak, freenx is the standard choice for quality remote desktop then? [05:35] Yondering, says no route to host [05:35] govinda: to file bug reports [05:35] DasE1: but the first line of your instructions didnt work.. didnt find ubuntu-modules for my kernel [05:35] back to XP it iss [05:36] hardikar, is iot for gtalk [05:36] treats: it's the one I prefer, standard is probably vnc, but it runs like crap imo [05:36] sorry it [05:36] bossgane: yes [05:36] ill go with you then [05:36] thanks [05:36] What is the command to install all .deb packages found in a folder?

[05:36] DasE1: yep [05:36] hardikar, thanks [05:37] Yondering, existing account [05:37] DasE1: it says pulseaudio for card and chip [05:37] hugo: guessing... apt-get install ./*.deb [05:37] Dulak, is freenx in the repositories? [05:37] hugo: assuming it is your cwd [05:37] hugo: maybe try dpkg -i *.deb? [05:37] i give up, i tried everything to solve my ATI driver, everytime I log in, i get the msg "no device detect" and i must run it low graphic mode, I regret upgrading to 8.10 now [05:38] hugo: oh his makes more sense [05:38] can someone tell me the terminal command to find my mount point?

[05:43] govinda: please read http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/releasenotes/810 [05:43] DasE1: yes i checked in alsa mixer [05:43] subir, no route to host suggests more of a network issue anyway. Has your router got port 22 closed by chance? [05:44] Yondering, no [05:44] govinda: you may still use hardy (8.04) while we try to resolve the issues in intrepid regarding that hardware. === calvino is now known as Bitcat [05:45] hi [05:45] !hi | kip__ [05:45] kip__: Hi!

[05:45] subir, afraid I'm at a loss, only other thing I could suggest, though I can't see it would help with the error you're having, is purge & reinstall openssh-server.

[06:02] matthew: again, man adduser, cuz that's not what I had him do [06:02] how do i update my kernel? [06:02] slammed87d21 usually it will work with sudo apt-get upgrade [06:02] ok [06:02] thanks [06:02] ok and why do you want me to look at the man page ? [06:02] why is the problem ? [06:03] matthew: it's obvious you don't know that adduser can add a current user to agroup as well as add a user to the system, hence me telling you to read the man page [06:03] any one here was configure you sound card with alsaconf???

[06:04] dulak I don't need help [06:04] matthew: all im asking is a little more respect for us... [06:04] I'm here to help [06:04] why cant i upgrade my kernel? [06:04] slammed87d21 you might have the most recent one in the ubuntu repositories [06:05] slammed87d21: apt-get update && dist-upgrade? [06:05] slammed87d21: apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade? [06:05] matthew: you asked why I had him add a user named disk, but I did not, and ifyou read the man page for adduser, you will understand, but you won't. so I'll drop it now. [06:05] slammed do you want to update from ubuntu or another source ? [06:05] whyameye: It doesn't let me add effects to songs while they are playing, and some other little inconveniences.

[06:06] ? [06:06] Anything else? [06:06] Tetracomm: im out of ideas...did you try it in ubuntu 8.04 with the rt kernel?

[06:09] matthew: im trying to figure out what part of the process was sluggish :) [06:09] Lagging. [06:09] anyone know much about VirtualBox?

[06:09] Tetracomm: yeah, i would go with the realtime kernel linux-rt if you are on 8.04 :) [06:10] I'm wondering once you place a CD in your drive, which OS gets to control it? The host or guest? [06:10] I am uing 8.10. [06:10] matthew: can we not try to steer a user 20 different ways? lol [06:10] I'm actually running from the live disc after attempting to install for about the 10th time. [06:10] Tetracomm: blah, the rt kernel is messed up on 8.10...dang. [06:10] Robb he ask if anyone knew a program better than audictiy [06:10] I need some gparted help and I don't want to wreck my system... from the docs, it should be possible to grow an ext3 fs, but I can't seem to... [06:11] audacity [06:11] :'( [06:11] akahige you can't do anything with gparted with a mounted drive [06:11] Frijolie: the host will always control the drive, but you can passthru the device to the guest which makes the guest think the cdrom is directly attached [06:11] matthew: please..there are other reasons why something might be messed up, there is not just 1 definate answer to a problem :) [06:11] hey i m not not able to see my 2nd desktop...can help?? [06:11] matthew: am trying this from Live CD [06:11] robb it is a program === gretch__ is now known as gretchen [06:12] oh ok then you have to unmount the drive akahige [06:12] Dulak: how do you do that? I have some software on a CD that I'd like to install to the guest OS [06:12] matthew: please...stop :) [06:12] I have installed ubuntu 8.10. It does not seem to be installing grub correctly. I found this page https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/grub/+bug/253323 that seems to specify a related problem. How do I fix it? I've noticed that my target partition has neither grub nor initrd on it. [06:12] should it matter if the fs is /boot? [06:12] Frijolie: what virtual machine software you using? [06:12] matthew: should it matter if the fs is /boot? [06:13] im having a problem with wine. first it's not showing in the apps menu, second i can't see text at al in wine config and programs that it launches [06:13] shouldn't [06:13] ed1: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/163560 , make sure its an audigy2 (maybe look into case) [06:13] but you wont be able to do anything til you unmount the drive [06:13] there shoul be an option in gparted [06:13] yar yar binks uses ubuntu too! [06:13] if not you can go to /media and unmount it [06:14] Anyone familiar with grub and know how to fix this boot issue? [06:14] what is the issue uep ? [06:14] matthew: when I select "resize", it will only let me resize so far (only a couple of MB) even though there's unallocated space it could expand into. am I missing something? [06:14] matthew: I have installed ubuntu 8.10. It does not seem to be installing grub correctly. I found this page https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/grub/+bug/253323 that seems to specify a related problem. How do I fix it? I've noticed that my target partition has neither grub nor initrd on it. [06:14] I had issues installing 8.10 with the live cd myself [06:15] I used the alternate installer cd with a text install [06:15] Just to install grub, or did you go through the whole process? [06:15] Bugbuntu 8.10. [06:15] :) [06:15] hey i m not not able to see my 2nd desktop...can help?? [06:15] Other than the shutdown problem, it hasn't given any trouble. [06:15] another thing most of the time when you have a grub issue there is usually there is something wrong with the iso [06:16] hey i m not not able to see my 2nd workspace...can help?? [06:16] I ran the cd check on the disc, however, I will state that I installed the iso to a dvd. :-X [06:16] uep I did the whole process [06:16] and it takes a lot longer [06:16] Er... burned the iso to a dvd. [06:16] it is a text install it isn't hard just like installing debian and it gets updates and everything before your first reboot [06:16] text install is nice [06:17] want the link to the alternate cd [06:17] I just want to do the grub part really. Is that possible through the alternate? [06:17] !alternate [06:17] 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/8.10/ubuntu-8.10-alternate-i386.iso.torrent [06:17] should be [06:17] !fixgrub | uep [06:17] uep: 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 [06:17] Dulak: sorry for the delay, I'm running VirtualBox OSE 2.0.4 [06:17] you could try the live disk to boot and then select boot from hd [06:17] hey i m not not able to see my 2nd workspace...can help?? [06:17] matthew: did you catch the resize capacity question? [06:18] !patience |darkknight [06:18] darkknight: The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines [06:18] I'm not sure booting from the hard drive will work... it doesn't even install grub to the partition. [06:18] akahige sounds like you already have the partitions made [06:18] Frijolie: in virtualbox you can edit the settings on the virtual machine, go to cdrom, and it will let you choose an existing device which is a passthru, or the ability to mount an iso [06:18] if you want them resized you need to delete the whole disk and make the partitions [06:18] DarkKnight: can you be more specific about your problem? [06:19] it is worth a try [06:19] Frijolie: just choose the cdrom device and have it connect at boot and boot the vm and it will have a cdrom which is the real cdrom on the machine [06:19] matthew: I have partitions made for current Ubuntu install... but I need to alter them. supposedly, gparted will let me grow them... right? [06:19] if you can get in to your system you can repair grub that way [06:19] I never used gparted to resize a disk that I was using [06:20] idk if you can or not [06:20] wassup [06:20] matthew: its not possible [06:20] yo bro! [06:20] Dulak: hmm...alright I'll try that [06:20] At the very least you have to unmount it. [06:20] thought so robb [06:20] matthew: cant resize a mounted partition or format or anything, it has to be unmounted. [06:20] fogobogo: so I installed that one linux app, 'sex' [06:20] whyameya; in my panel...i can't see my 2nd workspace,but it does exist...bcoz i transferred one of my process to the 2nd workspace and its working.... [06:20] it's hilarious [06:20] yeah tried to say unmount 30 times too [06:20] like I said [06:20] Ferrenrock: o rly? is it in multiverse? [06:21] I'm not sure, I just compiled it or something [06:21] I would delete the whole drive then make the partitions how you want then install [06:21] Robb_M: talking here about resizing unmounted partitions from the live cd [06:21] I'm not sure what compiling is [06:21] oh and back everything up etc [06:21] matthew: how do I install grub when it's not installed anywhere? [06:21] paul68; see my private message [06:21] Ferrenrock: compile? never heard that. [06:21] uep idk [06:21] akahige: yeah, im aware, im just confirming matthews theory :) [06:21] did you ever have it installed ? [06:21] Ferrenrock: must be the latest craze [06:21] I did under 8.04, yes. [06:21] 天阿 [06:22] akahige: you can do that, its possible. [06:22] Robb_M: it's cool. wasn't trying to give you grief. :) [06:22] fogobogo: whatev, I hate the people who are like 'OH I BUILT LINUX FROM SCRATCH" [06:22] cn99不好用了 [06:22] you should be able to boot the live cd and then select boot from disk then repair grub [06:22] !jp [06:22] 日本語の場合は #ubuntu-jp または #kubuntu-jp を参照して下さい [06:22] DarkKnight: don't pm me and watch your language! [06:22] matthew: thats on the 8.10 cd? i havent seen it on 8.04... [06:22] i think its chiness.. [06:22] Can I really boot from the disk though? It doesn't have grub installed at all, and there's no initrd on the partition either. [06:22] Ferrenrock: tru dat! they dont even know animal names! [06:23] Robb_M: the prob I'm having, is that gparted won't let me resize my ext3 /boot partition much past what it already is... and I don't get why [06:23] !cn | karon [06:23] karon: For Ubuntu help in Chinese 您可以访问中文频道： #ubuntu-cn 或者 #ubuntu-tw 或者 #ubuntu-hk [06:23] blah..too late... [06:23] I've tried booting from the disk before and it didn't work (unfortunately, I tried like 20 different things, so maybe I was having different problems at the time...). [06:23] akahige: hmm......i dont know.... [06:23] uep did you ever have grub installed ? [06:23] fogobogo: actually the ubuntu animal naming scheme is partly what got me into ubuntu, I hate microsloth's windows naming? [06:23] It's worth a shot I guess. I'll try booting from the disc again. [06:23] *naming [06:23] if so what happened ? [06:23] like [06:23] wtf is 'vista' [06:23] the terminator OS? [06:23] I had it installed under 8.04 [06:23] hey i m not not able to see my 2nd workspace...can help?? [06:24]  akahige:you need free space next to it and dirve must be unmounted [06:24] Ferrenrock: i put 8.10 into my toaster and it wont boot [06:24] and you updated or what ? [06:24] matthew: It still seems to be sitting there in the master boot record, but *not* on the partition. [06:24] matthew: I actually installed it fresh instead of upgrading. [06:24] Ferrenrock: thats right. and their repo is totally unordered. i mean; internet? [06:24] DasE1: thanks. that confirms what I was thinking. [06:24] Ferrenrock: what lame name is that [06:24] bioe007_: what do you mean 'boot'? [06:24] fogobogo: hahaha oh lulz [06:24] Ferrenrock: i mean it just sits there, and gets really hot [06:25] then can you just update it ? [06:25] This is why I do text installs :| [06:25] wow, text installsounds hardcore [06:25] bioe007_: forget 'brave little toaster,' I wanna watch 'hot little toaster' [06:25] DasE1: my /tmp partition is next to it. I should be able to back it up, delete it, resize /boot, then recreate /tmp without causing myself probs, right? [06:25] matthew: I've tried running grub-update, but it seems to want to find the grub files in the root partition, instead of at target. [06:25] * bioe007_ watchs Ferrenrock's hot little toaster [06:25] Unfortunately, I'm having a hard time downloading the image now. :-P [06:26] what image ? [06:26] bioe007_: oh snap [06:26] has anyone here used gOS before [06:26] Ferrenrock: \o/ [06:26] Hotshot`: no, but ive use gAS [06:26] matthew: The alternate disk image. I didn't mount my other partitions as writeable is all. [06:26]  akahige:do it from a live cd [06:26] matthew: since I'm running from the live cd still. [06:26] *do [06:26] bioe007_: holla m_0*0_m [06:27] I'm trying to find out how much HDD space is needed for a gOS install. [06:27] why not reinstall ? [06:27] idk gAS runs pretty good [06:27] if you just installed it anyways [06:27] DasE1: yes, exactly.... how do I get the UUID of the new partition so I can update fstab? [06:27] maybe it was a disk error ? [06:27] hey i m not not able to see my 2nd workspace...can help?? [06:28] hai [06:28] goodmorning vietnam !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I followed this howto: http://wiki.debian.org/DebianIPv6 [08:22] shadowwulf: i know theres 2 drivers one is nv & the other is from nvidia [08:22] anyone know of a repo that has openoffice 3.0 for hardy heron? [08:22] /clear [08:22] mib_esa0gt9x, ok [08:23] djhedges, mib_esa0gt9x is there a way to configure the settings from the bash propmt ? [08:23] nino_q: whats protocol 41? [08:23] shadowwulf dpkg reconfigure -phigh xserver xorg or sumfin like that [08:24] what software do i need to use detect wat my display is.. its seem to be running in low display mode [08:24] hello all! how can i disable usb power saving? [08:24] shadowwulf the correct line is printed in the default xorg file but i arnt sure if 8.10 has an xorg [08:24] djhedges: 41 = IPv6 [08:24] kenois, currently OO2.4 is quite better than 3.0, yet you can search here http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?suite=default§ion=all&arch=any&searchon=names&keywords=openoffice [08:25] mib_esa0gt9x, so what would be the way to reconfigure in general that sets up video and keyboard etc. from the bash prompt [08:26] if i want to delete a kernel, do i just delete the entry in grub and the ekrnel? [08:26] nino_q: i don't know i haven't played enough with ipv6, never with iptables [08:26] djhedges, the last time i loaded this the nvidia driver did work ... but i have to reconfigure it [08:27] djhedges: okay, thanks anyway [08:27] egoflux, use synaptic and delete it [08:27] egoflux, do not do it by hand [08:27] pranith, thanx... [08:27] shadowwulf: i dunno man you gona have do some googling [08:27] ok thanks faryshta [08:28] !make [08:28] Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first) [08:28] no idea, how to disable usb power saving? [08:28] I'm a programmer, with loads of Windows experience. I want to program in Linux too. What language can I use that will let me do visual development like Delphi or Visual Basic, and produces stand-alone executables? Any suggestions? [08:29] vb is horrible [08:29] etfb, I use VIm but there is eclipse and openmono which can help you. [08:29] check [08:29] !eclipse [08:29] Sorry, I don't know anything about eclipse [08:29] !openmono [08:29] Sorry, I don't know anything about openmono [08:29] i'm not much on programming but ask the guys in #python [08:29] djhedges: We are in complete agreement about that! I'm a Delphi man, myself. [08:29] basic is abit lame [08:29] !checkinstall [08:29] checkinstall is a wrapper to "make install", useful for installing programs you compiled. It will create a .deb package, which will be listed in the APT database and can be uninstalled like other packages. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CheckInstall - Read the warnings at the top and bottom of that web page, and DO NOT interrupt CheckInstall while it's running! [08:29] etfb: I would choose a UI toolkit to develop your apps, like GTK+ or Qt [08:30] really etfb what are you programming? [08:30] etfb: then you can pick the language you want to write them in, say PHP, Python, C++, etc [08:30] pranith, i can't find it on synaptic...its wierd because inever really installed that kernel, i was installing some modules for vitrualbox but it installed this new kernel...so i'm trying to get rid of it because it changed the entry in grub... [08:30] i think sdk platform kan run here as well as windows.. so u shuld try tat.. [08:30] i aldready deleted the modules wuith synaptic [08:30] faryshta: I'm a language junkie: I can program in any of three dozen languages provided I have online help. So it's wide open. [08:31] etfb: are you looking for cross-platform compatibility or developing specifically for Linux? [08:31] egoflux, what entries does the grub have? [08:31] My main requirement is to be able to produce something with a KDE/Gnome user interface. [08:31] etfb:then you can use sdk platform base program if you looking to do programming in linux then [08:31] etfb: python will be your friend [08:31] i think bash programming is run in c rite [08:31] djhedges: What do you suggest for GUI programming in Python. [08:31] etfb, if you use Delphi I guess you are looking for RAD, try gambas [08:31] etfb: never done gui [08:32] etfb: just scripting in bash & python [08:32] joaopinto: What's gambas? [08:32] etfb, if that is desktop applicatons I recommend QT if it is web applications I heard about Eclipse. [08:32] etfb: i think python does some gui w/ gtk [08:32] Personally I only use VIm. [08:32] djhedges: Admittedly, for command-line stuff I tend to use bash, Perl and Common Lisp. [08:32] etfb, it's a VB alike IDE for Linux [08:32] joaopinto: What languages does it support? And what window managers? [08:33] faryshta:emacs will do good to [08:33] I have only 10 fingers darkbishop [08:33] faryshta: I'm an Emacs man, but I know my hjkl cursor keys for emergencies. [08:33] mib_esa0gt9x, now i have a blank log in screen ... and once i log in ... the screen in blank ... [08:33] pranith, its on my laptoop so cant copy paste...but there's two diferent kernels...thenew one is vmlinuz-2.6.24-21-openvz [08:33] the other one is generic [08:33] etfb, it supports BASIC, and it provides GTK or QT interfaces, you don't develope specifically for GNOME/KDE, you developed either using GTK or QT, or something else :P [08:33] etfb:hear something about mono project earlierthis year.. its a program similier like vb for vb or vb.net programmer [08:33] in synaptic go to obsolete tab [08:33] etfb, http://gambas.sourceforge.net/ [08:33] there you will find this one [08:33] hopefully... [08:34] is there any easyish way to change icons for spesific files? [08:34] obsolete tab? [08:34] I have a web server daemon running and I don't know what it is. How can I find out what's using my port 80? [08:34] zosologist: what way are u using now? [08:34] etfb, or, just use wxpython, python is a must know this days, and wxwidgets is a nice graphical lib, which is cross plataform [08:34] oakmac:tat would be ur webserver [08:34] no way at all, i just dont care much to do it if its going to be complicated [08:35] oakmac: use nmap to scan ur port [08:35] because i would like to do quite a few [08:35] joaopinto: I found wxwidgets to be quite unattractive to look at. Has it improved? [08:35] oakmac, try to open a browser and on the url put http://localhost/ [08:35] how can i watch videos in songbird? [08:35] joaopinto: I would certainly prefer Python over Perl; just need to spend a weekend getting fluent. [08:35] There's a web server running, but it's not from my lampp installation. [08:35] what gstreamer can i download? [08:35] wth is songbird? [08:35] !info songbird [08:35] Package songbird does not exist in intrepid [08:35] etfb, python is FAR more friendly than perl :) [08:36] etfb, try QtCreator. [08:36] !songbird [08:36] Sorry, I don't know anything about songbird [08:36] etfb, wxwidgets looks nice, at least on linux, wxgtk [08:36] !info eclipse [08:36] eclipse (source: eclipse): Extensible Tool Platform and Java IDE. In component universe, is optional. Version 3.2.2-5ubuntu2 (intrepid), package size 126 kB, installed size 416 kB [08:36] !info qt [08:36] darkbishop,... its a browser integrated music player.... try googling [08:36] Package qt does not exist in intrepid [08:37] joaopinto: Ah, but in Perl you can headbutt the punctuation keys for ten minutes and you've written a program. With documentation! In python, you actually have to use letters too! How primitive! [08:37] darkbishop, songbird is available on getdeb [08:37] Could someone PLEASE help me with a command that reinstalls all Pulseaudio packages? Thanks [08:37] lol etfb [08:37] any help with songbird [08:37] Peddy, sudo apt-get install --reinstall pulseaudio [08:37] darkbishop: then i assume there is no easy way? [08:37] Does Eclipse do languags other than Java? Java is the one sin I refuse to commit. [08:37] sken, what is your problem ? [08:37] darkbishop, songbird is a music player which uses the same engine as firefox and amazingly need as much as ram as firefox. [08:37] I use lampp regularly, but somehow another web server is running right now (not my normal instance of apache from lampp). How can I figure out what's running as my web server so I can shut it down? [08:37] i can't watch videos [08:38] etfb, there are eclipse plugins for, C++, PHP, Python, etc [08:38] in songbird [08:38] etfb, I have never used eclipse, the only IDE I have used are GTK and Qt. [08:38] any clue about gstreamer [08:38] joaopinto: Do they let you do UI programming? Drag and drop form design, event handlers, etc? [08:38] etfb, but not for GUI design, as far as I know [08:38] sken, what is wrong with gstreamer? [08:38] etfb, know, no GUI designer [08:38] joaopinto: Pity. [08:38] has anyone tried to compile fatrat? [08:38] also whats the best program to display widgets? [08:38] i can't watch videos in songbird [08:39] or is there one built into gnome, or ubuntu? [08:39] etfb, there aren't that much fully integrated IDEs on Linux, the usual approach is to have a code IDE, and a GUI designer, a different tool [08:39] install gnome-nettool ,and try.maybe it can help you. [08:39] joaopinto: Gambas looks promising though. Thanks! I'd never heard of it before. [08:39] i installed flash player but nothing [08:39] sken: is it supposed to show videos? [08:39] joaopinto: That's probably why there are so few good GUI programs in Linux... [08:39] angryuser? I'm scared. [08:39] Gstreamer is a collection of codecs, in order to install them all just do sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras [08:39] yes [08:40] etfb, Gambas has an huge potential, it just doesn't get much credit because linux developers tend to be VB haters :P [08:40] what is VB? [08:40] !info VB [08:40] Package vb does not exist in intrepid [08:40] visual basic, maybe [08:40] Fargh, Visual Basic [08:40] joaopinto: ALL developers are VB haters... After age 13. [08:40] whynot: dont worry i dont bite ubuntu users [08:40] Ahh. Yeah, I hate VB. [08:40] The Jewker: vy so seriyish vit you already? [08:40] anyone know how to use a bin file? [08:40] etfb, not really, I have used it until 23 :P [08:40] VB is nice [08:40] angryuser/what about window user? [08:41] aint bin file for windows? [08:41] !bin [08:41] abortd, you mean an executable .bin installer file ? [08:41] Sorry, I don't know anything about bin [08:41] joaopinto: Next time you're visiting Windows, try Delphi. MUCH nicer. [08:41] abortd, want to do what which what binary with which extension? [08:41] joaopinto: yes [08:41] it doesnt have a visible extension [08:41] etfb, VB came just after Pascal on my learning, so never had a chance to play with Delphi :P [08:41] '.bin' extension means very very very little.. other then 'binary' :) its used way too much for too many things [08:41] abortd, sudo chmod +x archive.bin; ./archive.bin [08:42] abortd, file archive.bin [08:42] what that do? [08:42] that will provide you some more details about the file [08:42] like wether its a binary, script, or something else [08:42] abortd, gives permision of execution to your bin and then execute it. [08:42] what will joaopinto [08:42] whynot: they dont have much future in front them [08:42] So: investigate Eclipse to check its RAD capabilities; investigate wxpython to see if it's no longer as ugly as before; try out Gambas; not a bad set of results for a few minutes of typing and reading. Thanks, all! [08:42] abortd, on the terminal type: file filename.bin [08:43] Normally someone in here asking how to use a .bin file - triggers a red flag.. :) 'danger danger' :P [08:43] etfb, good luck :) [08:43] I have a web server running that I want to shut down. How can I figure out what process is being the web server? [08:43] Here I go... [08:43] abortd, what are you trying to install ? [08:43] I have just installed a new system. I can smbclient -L //somehost, but I can't mount the shares, it tells me the "missing codepage" error and that I need the mount.cifs helper. where can I find mount.cifs? [08:43] anyone know if ubuntu 0.9.2 is in the 8.04 backports? [08:43] whynot/ I'm still running win2k with ubuntu all together. [08:43] anyone know if VLC 0.9.2 is in the 8.04 backports? [08:43] !find mount.cifs [08:43] oakmac, check the running processes with "ps -ef" [08:43] or you can install nmap,there are several frontends for it,such as Zenmap,knmap(KDE-based). [08:44] would there be a big difference in performance if I chose PC2-9200 ram over PC2-6400? [08:44] so is there no way to change the icon of a .exe ill be running through wine? [08:44] ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1, statically linked, stripped [08:44] is it safe to upgrade to 8.10 now? any horror stories? [08:44] or a launcher on a deskto0p [08:44] thats what it said it doesnt have a .bin file extension [08:44] Or hwo can I see on another system where mount.cifs is coming from [08:44] hello [08:44] owen1, first which hardware you have? [08:45] have you heard about a problem that ubuntu breaks MBR with ReFit ? [08:45] wireless, graphic card and sound. [08:45] jin/ My ubuntu pc is still exploiting SDRAM. the difference between 9200 and 6400, does it really matter? [08:45] faryshta: hp desktop [08:45] my upgrade was painless. [08:45] Graphic card? [08:45] hi all [08:45] apache is installed and running on my machine; how do I remove it? [08:45] faryshta: let me see.. [08:45] oakmac, sudo apt-get purge apache [08:45] maybe [08:46] that didn't work; i must have installed another package that installed apache with it [08:46] is there a good program for like... note card memorization of vocabularly etc? [08:47] i have installed vmware on ubuntu 8.04. but when i try to launch it, i get this error: http://pastebin.com/m7ef09b12 [08:47] any idea? [08:47] how can i get a list of all packages installed on my machine? [08:47] i have installed restricted extras but i can't watch videos in songbird [08:47] has anyone tried to compile fatrat? [08:47] any clue? [08:48] bmagoha, try: sudo apt-get install build-essential [08:48] oakmac/program ----> install and remove [08:48] oakmac, run: sudo netstat -lp [08:48] to check for running services [08:48] it's apache2 [08:48] but not the apache that i usually run from /opt/lampp [08:48] it's /usr/sbin/apache2 [08:48] sken: give me a sec to look [08:48] oakmac: top can do the same thing [08:49] Is wubi virus free because i did a scan of wubi.exe and ArcaVir picked up Trojan.Small.Ji ? [08:49] oakmac, you should not use lampp, you should use the regular ubuntu packages [08:49] sudo apt-get remove apache2* mysql* php* python* [08:49] /usr/sbin/apache2 is the apache version from the ubuntu package [08:49] faryshta: VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation NV18 [GeForce4 MX 440 AGP 8x] (rev a2) [08:49] sken: do you have gstreamer plugins installed?

[08:50] sken: not tux, but greek [08:50] Well I cant be sure but so far I know there is official support by System->Hardware Drivers [08:50] faryshta: i get this: http://pastebin.com/d36ee030 [08:50] !repository [08:50] The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections.

[08:52] joaopinto: how do i get to ubuntu malaysia? [08:52] Peddy, have you changed your sudoers file ? [08:52] great it worked oakmac the support in Xampp is great I also use it. [08:52] joaopinto: No, I have not. [08:52] joaopinto: is it not possible to check on a webpage somewhere somehow if an update that pops up is really an update from ubuntu? (I just got a message that login and passwd are updateble and I would like to be able to confirm online somewhere with an update that not someone is getting in the middle or something) [08:52] Peddy, does your user belong to the admin group ? [08:53] wow? [08:53] esperegu:login password is the 2 latest update from ubuntu [08:53] where is the directory where the mounted hard drives are located? [08:53] espacious, your ubuntu repositories are signed with a GPG key, unless you manually added a repository from a 3rd party, you can only get updates from the Ubuntu master servers [08:53] darkbishop_: thx. [08:53] faryshta: i follwed this: http://peterc.org/2008/62-how-to-install-vmware-tools-on-ubuntu-hardy-804-under-vmware-fusion.html [08:53] cheatcountry, in nautilus go Places->Computer [08:53] cheatcountry, where you mounted them ;) [08:54] joaopinto: Thanks, I think that did it. I've had quite a lot of uptime, and I couldn't isolate this problem after a reboot. [08:54] joaopinto: yeah. I manually added. so it is not possible to open a secure connection via https or something and get a list of the latests updates? === darkbishop_ is now known as darkdeeper [08:54] * Peddy dances [08:54] Peddy, on the terminal type: "id" [08:54] joaopinto: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1, statically linked, stripped [08:55] its not a .bin extension but the properties says it is [08:55] joaopinto: Adding my user back to Admin fixed it. Cheers [08:55] abortd, ok, thats an installer, what are you trying to install ? [08:55] faryshta: and i had vmware-server version 1.0.7 === budgie is now known as Budgie [08:55] abortd, extensions have no meaning on linux [08:55] cheatcountry, usually under /media [08:56] joaopinto: im trying to install regnum [08:56] abortd, chmod u+x file.bin [08:56] abortd, ./file.bin [08:56] bmagoha, I think I can't help you, will have to probe it myself. Maybe is that you miss a step or done it on a wrong way. [08:56] has anyone tried to compile fatrat? [08:56] probably it needs to be installed with root: sudo ./file.bin [08:56] whats chmod u+x do [08:56] Hello [08:56] jim_p, yes, I have some packages for it, but the libtorrent on ubuntu is broken, and it will crash after a few seconds [08:56] faryshta: ok [08:56] hey anyone had experience with bluetooth audio [08:57] abortd, it sets the file to executable, chmod = change mod, u = user, +x = assign executable [08:57] faryshta: now how can i uninstall from from the system? [08:57] ok thanks [08:57] bmagoha, keep asking for help here, hopefully someone else knowus. [08:57] bmagoha, vmware provides a vmware uninstall script [08:57] if you install it with the source. [08:57] joaopinto: i can use it without torrent parameters. can i say my problem? [08:57] on the terminal type: vmware, and then hit the tab key [08:58] then just open a terminal and go to the directory where it was saved. [08:58] joaopinto, I tried that but its not there. I see it when I go to places > computer but when I'm in netbeans and trying to open a project, I can't find computer [08:58] joaopinto: when i do chmod u+x file.bin it doesnt work since there is no extension on the file [08:58] jim_p, fatrat only works with torrents, at least from my exprience [08:58] when i do chmod u+x file it works [08:58] I mean: cd open-vm..... [08:58] it just skips a line [08:58] then just [08:58] sudo make uninstall. [08:58] abortd, so just, chmod u+x file (without the .bin) [08:58] I have managed to get the headset to connect but it isn't showing up in my sound preferences .... I am running intrepid [08:58] joaopinto: yeah. I manually added. so it is not possible to open a secure connection via https or something and get a list of the latests updates? [08:59] joaopinto: i want to use it like a normal download manager like wget!!! it even supports rapidshare! [08:59] any suggestions one what to do? [08:59] esperegu, no, that list is already what you get on the system update notifier [08:59] and if i decide regnum is stupid i just sudo aptitude purge file [08:59] jim_p, the page states it does, but I have compiled it, and tested, and it does not === tsockstest is now known as thoreauputic [09:00] joaopinto: ok. thx, [09:00] Hello! Why you not reply my comment?? [09:00] Lin-Lin, what is your problem? [09:00] abortd, no, because that instaler, is not a .deb package, it will need to be removed with whatever uninstall scripts comes with it (if any) [09:00] hi [09:00] what's another channel besides #mozilla for asking about thunderbird? #mozilla is +i [09:00] joaopinto: really? rs links is the main reason i want fatrat!!!! [09:01] I don't now, this is my first team, use this. [09:01] jim_p, if you really want to test by yourself: http://abs.getdeb.net/post_build/intrepid/ [09:01] Lin-Lin, what is your problem ? [09:02] Ok Lin-Lin, do you have any issue with your machine? [09:02] joaopinto: does it mind i am on hardy? [09:02] jim_p, it does, probably it will not install on hardy [09:03] it was build on intrepid === andatche_ is now known as andatche [09:03] Mmm. Lin-Lin gone I think I scare him. [09:03] !you [09:03] Sorry, I don't know anything about you [09:03] can anyone help me? [09:03] Hi *. Can't decide is this is server specific question or not. [09:03] Perhaps I am missing the obvious, but how do I include new schema files in openldap configuration? Intrepid ships with openldap v2.4 which uses new cn=config style configuration and not slapd.conf Thanks and please point me to the right direction if this is not a proper place to ask. [09:04] joaopinto: so i am back on the drawing board :( [09:04] someone pls help me with FF3 [09:04] jim_p: what are you drawing on the board? :0 [09:04] yes budgie [09:04] ivarss, better ask on #ubuntu-server [09:04] !anyone | wariskampar [09:04] wariskampar: 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? [09:05] joaopinto: are you 100% positive it does not work with rs links? [09:05] jim_p, yes I am [09:05] wariskampar: whats your problem with ff3? [09:05] FF3 has stop responding.. [09:05] joaopinto: i draw my perfect system :P . ok then i dump fatrat for now [09:05] joaopinto: thanks, will try there [09:05] whenever i click any link, no activity [09:06] does the window go grey? [09:06] We have a centralized samba share for mounting all the /var/cache/apt/archives of all the ubuntu machines. This allows less downloads when doing updates. We also have the repositories download from a centralized location. So we update the main machine, and then the other machines update from the local network. [09:07] ghostknife: why samba instead of http? [09:07] ghostknife, you should use an apt cacher service for that [09:07] can someone give us a hand with Wubi? [09:07] Hello!!!^^ [09:07] using samba to share /var/cache/apt/archives may lead to concurrency issues [09:07] joaopinto: where can i find the compiling options that made that deb in getdeb server? [09:08] joaopinto: does apt cacher not work at a local desktop level? or is it like debmirror? [09:08] borislav_simic: have you managed to get bluetooth audio to show up in sound preferences? [09:08] Please help me, i have a big problem [09:08] fen`, the apt cacher is set at some central desktop/server, and then you just poing your sources.list from the other clients to it [09:08] sorry i have no bluetooth on my desktop [09:08] it will fetch just when required, it does not mirror like debmirror [09:08] it's more like a caching proxy [09:08] Hai?? [09:09] joaopinto: so its really just automating the core tool debmirror [09:09] fen`, I am not that familiar with debmirror [09:09] yoyo [09:09] What you mean?? [09:09] Now is the first time we installed a clean machine in a long time. But it has to download 177mb of packages, even though all other machines are up to date. I assume apt is is deleting them [09:09] fen`, debmirror does a full archive mirroring, right ? [09:09] yes [09:09] fen`: so the machines don't have to store them locally [09:09] joaopinto: like which? [09:09] so apt-cache is on demand fetching? [09:10] fen`: ok. will check it out. thanks [09:10] how do i reset FF3 to default [09:10] LinLin/Just ask them. let them know what your problem is. [09:10] apt-cacher-ng is just a special http proxy, which keeps the archives on a local cache dir [09:10] Its handy having one box on the lan being the main apt 'cache' [09:10] fen`, yes, it is, apt-cacher, not apt-cache ;) [09:10] is there a way to make other files launchable by just typing the name into the terminal like firefox? === MadMax is now known as Guest29659 [09:10] I think perhaps I had messing with it config [09:10] joaopinto: thanks [09:10] but don't know for sure [09:10] When attempting to boot the server-install of ibex I get the following error: "This kernel requires the following features not present on the CPU: pae" What does this mean and how can I work around it? === Joint is now known as TIMiDo [09:11] wariskampar: sudo apt-get remove --purge firefox-3.0; rm -rf ~/.mozilla (THIS WILL ERASE your bookmarks/saved passwords etc) [09:11] can Ubuntu 8.10 be installed from a folder on my XP desktop, directly to a partitioned HDD? [09:11] blueeagle sounds like an atenean [09:12] is the new vmware for linux any good for games yet [09:12] pickett: vmware 6.5 linux and up has 3d support, but its experimental. [09:12] i want to run xp on it [09:12] @fen, matter of fact, all my bookmark were gone! [09:12] Ruge/is it ISO image you have? [09:12] slowlearner: sounds like a what? [09:13] pickett, the directx support is still experimental [09:13] is there a way to make other files launchable by just typing the name into the terminal like firefox? [09:13] whynot: yep i have the ISO image, im extracting it to a folder on my desktop [09:13] zosologist: make sure the applications are in a directory in your $PATH variable [09:14] ie don't expect every single new directx based title to work [09:14] ruge/why don't u burn it in a cd? [09:14] hi all [09:14] ruge/cd installation is much easier, I guess. [09:14] whynot: my DVD drive is failing on my old laptop, and i have USB1, too slow [09:14] Ruge, i dont think ti will work that way.. You can make a bootable thumbdrive very easialy also.. [09:14] shhhiittt [09:15] ruge, you can mount iso's with mount -o loop /mnt/iso /path/to/image.iso [09:15] hiiiii [09:15] co_eMo: there is no need foer that language [09:15] ghostknife, please note that the apt-cacher-ng version on the repositories is old and buuggy [09:15] does anybody knows why i dont have the preview of raw images in nautilus? i had it in 7.10 [09:15] !raid [09:15] raid is Tips and tricks for RAID and LVM can be found on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SoftwareRAID wto and http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO - For software RAID, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FakeRaidHowto [09:15] joaopinto: I'm proceeding to install it from source anyway, since the server is centos [09:16] ghostknife, ah ok :) [09:16] ill give runnning this thing from XP a go [09:16] speaking of which i spent the last 2 hours setting up and configuring software raid 1 on 4 win2003 + exchange machines.. fun times [09:16] fen`: we don't need to hear about that [09:17] Ikonia: im new to linux, not sure what your saying. more info would be helpfull [09:17] zosologist: about what ? [09:17] my $path variable [09:17] zosologist, you may want to spend an hr reading a few bash/shell/command line tutorials then.. this is fairly basic stuff. [09:17] alright [09:17] zosologist: if you do echo $PATH you'll see a list of directorys, anything in those directories can be executed by just typing the command [09:18] Dr_willis: darn it ! [09:18] zosologist, 'echo $PATH' to see your path setting. :) thats where it looks for command line commands. [09:18] ikonia, :) [09:18] ikonia, gee.. i was going to paste him a list of sites to read also [09:19] what did Lin-Lin want here? check this freek log: http://rafb.net/p/6Cob8922.html [09:19] ghostknife: why are you pasting this in here ? [09:20] He likes you ghostknife [09:20] Ok, so I need a generic kernel, but there is no generic kernel package on the alternate install cd. Yet there is a kernel that the cd itself boots from. Any chance I can trick that over to the installed system? [09:21] what is the best way to protect my server besides a good firewall against hackers? and plugging out the ethernet cable is not an option :-) [09:21] ...and if anyone knows why the installed kernel requires a cpu w/o pae I'd be glad if they shared. [09:21] paul68: Hello again. [09:21] paul68 lock down users permissions, manage accounts, etc etc, obvious stuff [09:21] paul68, the best way is to learn, read a good linux tutorial, and then something more specialized about security [09:21] oh damn no sound in xfce again [09:21] this is the only thing that is really stopping me now from moving to Ubuntu 100% :( [09:22] blueeagle: hi did you have a good holiday [09:22] joaopinto: there are quiet a few tutorials and to read them all I'll be busy for a few years I guess [09:22] what the [09:22] i just ran the CD [09:22] i come back, and it quit on me! [09:22] joaopinto: apt-cacher is quite hard to find [09:23] paul68, not really, a few days of reading should be fine [09:23] joaopinto: do you have any usefull links [09:24] paul68: I moved. :) [09:24] ghostknife, http://ppa.launchpad.net/c-korn/ubuntu/pool/main/a/apt-cacher-ng/ , just grab the orig.tar.gz [09:24] paul68, help.ubuntu.com is a good start [09:24] paul68: ...and please join me in #ubuntu-offtopic to continue the ot-chat. :) [09:25] joaopinto: what's apt-cacher-ng compared to apt-cacher? [09:25] joaopinto: next gen? [09:25] ghostknife, yes, it's actively maintaned, it was recreated in C++, while the prior, is perl [09:26] :/ [09:26] ghostknife, there is also apt-proxy, in python, but it is also buggy [09:26] I lost my system for two days already! I am trying to recover data from my lost partitions. I can' t mount my vista partition: http://www.pastebin.ca/1255998 [09:28] ubuntu@chat.jabberfr.org === sirfelius_ is now known as sirfelius [09:28] rolland: what are ou doing ? [09:28] mercutio22, that partition is corrupted, it can't be mounted [09:28] Is it possible to take the hard drive bak [09:28] back* [09:28] mercutio22: bad vista shutdown probably [09:28] simon1245: back where ? [09:28] je me renseigne [09:28] !fr > rolland [09:29] how do you open the properties of a file as root? [09:29] rolland, please see my private message [09:29] My hard drive erased every thing and i want the things back i had on it is it possible? [09:29] y a des francais ? [09:29] Ok, so now I've booted the rescue system and I am attempting to load the driver for my wireless card, but it is looking for modules.dep in the "generic" kernel folder and all I have is the "server" folder. [09:29] simon1245: your harddisk didn't do that - what did you do to erase the data [09:29] I don't know i got problem with Ubuntu [09:29] simon1245: what problem [09:30] Wait i will restart the computer and tell you [09:30] i'm online 1min' [09:30] joaopinto: forever? Is there something to be done? [09:30] I have to leave after 10min [09:30] jim_p: ok, what to do? [09:30] mercutio22: boot into vista and shutdown normally [09:31] ikonia: Boot and select proper boot device or insert boot media in selected boot device and press a key [09:31] mercutio22, you will need some file recovery tool, like testdisk, but don't keep much hope [09:31] mercutio22: is it an external usb drive? [09:31] simon1245: then you do not have an OS installed on the disk your booting from === dYna is now known as basti [09:31] I had [09:31] simon1245: you don't now [09:32] That erased i don't know how [09:32] simon1245: then re-install it [09:32] joaopinto: I can' t boot into anything. Something is broken [09:32] what is a clean way to restart nautilus in terminal [09:32] weird [09:32] Ikonia: Is it possible to take every thing back i had before on it? [09:32] simon1245: easier to re-install it [09:32] savvas: no. The external hd is where I am backaing up things from the gone partitions. I did recover ubuntu entirely already luckly [09:33] But i had many things [09:33] And i want it back [09:33] simon1245: you can boot from the livecd, mount the disk and see if there is any data left [09:33] Game... my dad had documents, movies and all that [09:33] I put in the Ubuntu disc, and selected "Install Inside Windows" and then it extracted some files and quit itself, any hints? [09:33] There isn't [09:33] simon1245: then no [09:33] simon try testdisk [09:33] Ruge→ it should reboot the pc === sirfelius_ is now known as sirfelius [09:33] How to try test disk? [09:34] hmm [09:34] it didnt [09:34] like, i clicked it [09:34] simon1245: sudo apt-get install testdisk [09:34] it came with a few "extracting" boxes [09:34] Ok [09:34] and then, back to the desktop [09:34] I will do it later [09:34] I have to leave to school now [09:34] simon1245: and then run it [09:34] Bye all [09:34] bye [09:34] Ok thanks :) [09:34] what command/suffix do i add to get mplayer to play a movie file in full screen mode? [09:34] Ikonia and mercutio22 thanks :) [09:34] Bye all [09:35] now back to my issue [09:35] any ideas? [09:35] it seems /dev/sda3 is marked read-only [09:37] wow [09:37] impossible [09:37] i've recovered all my data with r-studio after breaking win partitions and installing xp over it!!!

[09:42] well, i tried to counter my failing DVD rom drive, by mounting the ubuntu disc on virual CD drive [09:42] it loads up the installer [09:42] i click on install within windows [09:42] after a few "Extract" boxes, it quits itself! [09:42] I shared an folder, but it doesn't appear on the other PC (Windows Installation) [09:43] Try writing the disc image to a small partition [09:43] And boot off it [09:43] VCD doesn't like installing operating systems === sepperl is now known as stups [09:44] ive got 2 partitions on my drive: [C]: XP. [E]: free (for ubuntu) [09:44] i can make another for the install? [09:44] VCD can't install O/S can it? doesn't it eventually have to boot into an installer anyway? [09:44] ghostknif is right [09:44] oh right [09:44] I think your easiest option is to install Wubi [09:44] Ruge, You got stuff in the E: drive? [09:44] oh yeah [09:44] full ubuntu installation, no CD [09:44] Dr_Willis: i just cleaned my E [09:45] Ruge, if its empty.. delete it and isntall linux in the unallocated spae.. the installer can auto partition Unallocated space [09:46] omg [09:46] sorry for sounding uber n00b here, how should i go about it? i cant actually get linux to install anywhere [09:46] dreams are coming true [09:46] i have the wubi file tho, its like.. 1 mb [09:46] can't believe it [09:46] tedfflamp, care to elaborate? === abortd is now known as AbortD [09:47] recovering all my data from ntfs partiotions after breaking them and installing xp over seems to be.... eeergg....

[09:50] Is there any way to find out what processes are 'using' the internet at any given time? [09:50] how can i delete that? [09:50] kk [09:50] ValentineXX, use 'sudo rm whatever' [09:50] login as root [09:50] or sudo [09:50] Or if you want to do it graphically, launch gksudo nautilus. This is dangerous though, make sure you know what you're doin'. [09:51] :-s [09:51] It pays to learn the shell. [09:51] Yeah, shell ftw. [09:51] usign the root filemanger might be HOW that file got made in the first place [09:51] :P [09:51] Dr_willis: Heh.

[10:03] to boot from different HDD partitios [10:03] partitions? [10:03] KillGuta, i use samba to set up the users HOMES as shareed.. or set up a single share.. or use winscp on windows, and ssh on linux... [10:03] savvas: well i didn;t have one so i created it... [10:03] Dr_wills how do I config it in an GUI? :D [10:03] there's not really many options for that tho [10:03] Dr_willis: now how do i install them [10:04] KillGuta, No idea.. in the time it takes a GUI to launch - i have the smb.conf edited...

[10:07] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [10:07] thats 7.10.... [10:07] AbortD, right click -> make new launcher.. seems VERY obvious [10:07] AbortD, so? its not changed much.. [10:07] Okay, my DVD drive fails, wont install, and i cant boot from USB with my laptop *sigh* [10:08] yeah it would be obvious if i saw this make new launcher [10:09] AbortD, or drag/drop an icon from the menus to the desktop/panel and customize it [10:09] yeah that would seem like a better idea [10:09] That menu item is here for me under 8.10 [10:10] what are you right clicking? [10:10] right click on the desktopp , create folder, create launcher, create new dodument, .. other items [10:11] I have partioned my disk badly at the installation and now i have / at around 80% full and another partition /myname which has around 20 free GB, is there anyway to re partition it without reinstalling ? [10:12] heh heh [10:12] my eyes skipped over it [10:12] :[ [10:12] !bootchart [10:12] bootchart charts your machine at boot time, to install >> sudo apt-get install bootchart << the graphic is in /var/log/bootchart after the next reboot [10:12] thanks [10:13] Tankado: You could probably move or link some folders to the new partition. I have my home folder on a different partition, for instance. [10:13] yeah that could work, but i am kinda new how do i do that? [10:14] all the updates install at the main folder thats why i am worried [10:14] i made it too small [10:14] How do I share files for Windows XP? :( :( :( [10:14] thanks for the help Dr_willis [10:15] KillGuta, you could install the samba pacakges and use the 'share folder' feature of gnome.. or set up the home shares.. [10:15] Tankado: Updates shouldn't add to much files, it usually just replaces stuff. [10:16] ubuntu is just fantastic!!!!

WinSCP is a GUI client, if you need that. Look at http://dinamis.com/support/ for a tutorial. "Secure Replacement for ftp" IIRC (I wrote it a while back.)

[10:33] torgrim_: i love amd [10:34] true true [10:34] how can you love a cpubrand? [10:34] lol [10:34] when its slower also? [10:34] slower then what intel? [10:34] torgrim_: not slower at all [10:34] yes [10:34] the raptor it is gonna be. thinking to get Western Digital Raptor WD740ADFD, 73GB [10:34] they are slower then intel ;) [10:34] oh you comparing intel to amd [10:34] lol [10:34] we can compare them to arms cpus if you prefer [10:34] nah thats a consumer fanboy conversation i'm peeps [10:34] torgrim_: depends which cpus you compare and for what tasks, but its offtopic [10:34] or alpha ;) [10:35] i'm out [10:35] or mips [10:35] or 8088 ;) [10:35] is there someone that accepts to help me with a probem under ubuntu ?

[10:36] i just installed xubuntu intrepid, and the prompt in mc is very weird: 0;pdani@pdani: ~pdani@pdani:~$ [10:36] my boot partition is not booting anymore and i dont know why [10:36] any idea? [10:36] wene what error is it [10:36] ActionParsnip, a 73GB ssd drive cost alot :\ [10:36] chills what command are you using to set the clock ? [10:36] oh true, [10:36] in 'expand -t 2 textfile' what is meant by -t 2 tab stop? [10:36] chills: http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/handbook-x86.xml?part=1&chap=5 [10:36] ikonia, using the interface [10:37] chills what interface ? [10:37] gnome [10:37] jin: you dont need massiveness for system drive, only data [10:37] chills thats a desktop - explain how your setting the time please. [10:37] To the #ubuntu-offtopic channel1 [10:37] right clicking on the clock on my desktop -> adjust time and date [10:37] ActionParsnip, I need dualboot.. so I need atleast 30GB for windows + Ubuntu [10:37] and clicking set system time [10:38] jin: eww dual boot is nasty [10:38] chills ok, so as I understanding (quick google on that error) it's setting your clock but not updating your bios/hardware clock [10:38] is your desktop clock set tot he correct time ? [10:38] ActionParsnip, any recommendation for ssd drives? [10:38] ikonia, i set it to the right time but it goes back after a reboot i suspect [10:38] jin please take it to the offtopic channel [10:39] ActionParsnip, I know.. I have win xp in vmware on Ubuntu. runs fine.. but I still need to boot in Windows from time to time. [10:39] chills because your hardware clock (bios) is off [10:39] jin: any really, go with a brand you trust [10:39] chills: try to use ntp to set the hardware clock time, or open the bios and manually set it [10:39] i should turn it on from the bios? [10:39] chills correct [10:39] ah okay i wil try ntp if that doesnt work will do it manuall [10:39] hey guys everytime I boot up my LAN is disconnected and I have to manually connect to eth2 called ifdownup [10:39] ?

[10:42] saruji: if you open the network manager applet or system -> preferences -> networking you should see it's status, there should be an option that says something like "enable" or "enable at boot" [10:42] saruji: I've not got ubuntu running her so can't verify the gui [10:42] ok thank you i'll check [10:42] anyone has any idea about https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/267719 ?

For graphical applications see !gksu (Gnome), or !kdesu (KDE) [11:04] cYmen, i want to make a folder that sorts a bunch of other folders [11:04] C0p3rn1c: it can ruin permissions and ownerships so users dont own their files etc so they cant login or even the system may not boot [11:04] ActionParsnip: When I write "lspci -v | less" in Terminal, it tells me that my audio device is "nVidia Corporation MCP55 High Definition Audio (rev a2)". I'm not using the built-in sound card, my subwoofer has a built-in sound card. [11:04] ah i c sweet [11:04] cYmen, for instance a folder that only shows files in some other folder from this money [11:04] like learning more and more about linux [11:04] What is newer the intel p8400 or the T9400 moblie processors [11:04] cYmen, *month [11:04] Stalker72: what make / model are the speakers? [11:04] ActionParsnip: I only use sudo gedit to edit /etc/ files [11:05] moncojhr: That's not possible. [11:05] ActionParsnip: Bose Companion 5 [11:05] C0p3rn1c: its not advised [11:05] ActionParsnip: http://www.bose.com/controller?url=/shop_online/speakers/computer_speakers/companion_5/index.jsp [11:05] ActionParsnip: you need sudo access to edit them, how else would you do it ? [11:05] moncojhr: To be precise it is not possible with traditional methods. You could easily write a script that generates such a folder with links or when it's working adequately well use nepomuk. [11:05] C0p3rn1c: gksudo gedit or sudo nano [11:06] C0p3rn1c, use gksudo [11:06] ah ok thx [11:06] I'll remember it [11:06] Stalker72: you could disable the onboard sound in bios [11:06] cYmen, ok yes id want to generate the links i suppose, ill have a look what nepomuk is... [11:06] ActionParsnip: Do you think that will fix the problem? [11:06] Stalker72: if you are using a PCI card instead [11:06] ActionParsnip: Also, are there a lot of people having problems with USB speakers (they're not so common)? [11:07] Stalker72: ive seen some, i dont like them [11:07] ActionParsnip: Is there a possibility that future versions of Ubuntu will have better speaker support? [11:08] Ive yet to see USB speakers.. :) unless ya count the ones i have that are just usb powered... [11:08] Stalker72: the speakers plug into a soundcard surely? [11:08] ActionParsnip, like the usb headsets only bigger. :P [11:09] ActionParsnip: There's a sound card in the subwoofer. [11:09] I rember ages ago when usb-speakers were to be the next big thing.. but they never took off.. till they statrted making Usb mic/headsets [11:09] i dont get why usb speakers exist, we've had soundcards with 3.5mm jacks forever and it works REALLY well [11:09] Dr_willis: My speakers connect using only a power cable and a USB cable. :P [11:09] why do I get this when trying to enable restricted ati driver http://paste.ubuntu.com/71778/ [11:10] Stalker72: then websearch for linux users who have set them up, or contact bose [11:10] Stalker72, Mine uses USB for power.. and the normal audio jack. about as cheap a set of speakers as a company includes with the systems. :P [11:11] ActionParsnip: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=339071 [11:11] apadox what's wrong with that ? [11:11] just run ssh-keygen and it's given me some randomart ... what purpose (if any) does this serve?

[11:12] Stalker72: ive never had to set anything like that up. I always get standard sound cards using standard connections so i KNOW its gonna work :) [11:13] ActionParsnip: I can submit an idea to Brainstorm asking for better USB speakers support. ;) [11:13] hello people. I just tried the Ubuntu Minimal CD but it doesn't contain alot of hardware drivers. My Gigabit NIC was not found. Anyone know something similar to Debian Netinst (which does contain alot more drivers)? [11:14] IcyPolecat what ? [11:14] Stalker72: sure [11:14] cYmen, hmm, i've actually seen on an ftp there was a folder that sorted mp3s by genre, and then another by date [11:14] Stalker72: you could put it in bug reports [11:14] cYmen, id like to do something like that [11:14] Stalker72: i'd contact bose, they may have an answer [11:15] any ideas anyone?= [11:16] ikonia: i can't install ati drivers in intrepid [11:16] could somebody help me? the ubuntu of a friend doesnt start [11:17] Does anyone know how I can stop xchat from autoconnecting when I open it?

Everything works except for apt get [11:18] I have a great desire for a command-line utility that someone must have written by now. Behave like cat, but keep a list of regular expressions and colour codes and colour matching lines accordingly. This would help when keeping one eye on an arbitrary log file. Has anyone seen this thing in the wild? [11:18] can I look up my sata drive model in Ubuntu? === mike is now known as Guest66286 [11:19] ikonia: I was just wondering what the purpose if for the ascii art representation of the ssh key generated by runnig ssh-keygen is? Never seen it before today [11:21] IcyPolecat: perhaps so that you can recognize the key if you see it again? [11:22] and go "wait a minute! that's not the key for that server!" if someone is trying to spoof DNS and steal your password and/or run a MitM attack? [11:22] not that I've ever seen this either, how did you get that? [11:22] hello [11:22] need some help over here!

[12:18] samphippen: no ? [12:18] kk [12:19] samphippen: you just need to go back to a default xorg.conf from 8.10 (your using 8.10 aren't you) ? [12:19] samphippen: then we can work forward [12:19] I am [12:19] ikonia, I think I found it [12:19] samphippen: http://pastebin.com/f1b772a3a [12:19] samphippen ahh good [12:19] ActionParsnip, No,I mean is when I open gnome-term , it will turn to gray, then don't responsed. [12:19] ikonia, dpaste.com/90717 [12:20] ActionParsnip thats not a default config [12:20] ikonia, is that what I want? [12:20] Can anyone tell me if ndiswrapper can be used to load a driver for the Lexmark 4850 not supported in Intrepid? [12:20] ohmygod: I'm afraid it might be that in order to resolve your problem, it might be necessary (or easiest) to reinstall the whole system. I'd like to know though, why you've enabled root account? [12:20] samphippen that looks much better [12:21] ikonia, i'll swap my current with that one then [12:21] http://www.mail-archive.com/ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com/msg1015515.html i wll try to re burn the ISO [12:21] samphippen: so you now need to add the line Driver "nvidia" to the video card section [12:21] ikonia: but i use nvidia at 1024x768 with full 3d accell [12:21] at low speed [12:21] bonjour, hello !

[12:22] samphippen looks good [12:22] ohmygod: but *WHY* [12:22] !rootsudo | ohmygod [12:22] ohmygod: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (Gnome), or !kdesu (KDE) [12:23] !root | ohmygod [12:23] ikonia, i've done that [12:23] ohmygod: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [12:23] ohmygod: if you install tilda it will give you a cli environment so yuo can diagnose stuff from cli [12:23] samphippen ok, now restart so Xorg reloads [12:23] not just ctrl-alt-bkspacE?

[13:02] samphippen: sorry 7600 [13:02] zoyd: warty is way past EOL. Use intrepid or hardy [13:02] ikonia, it's all good [13:02] samphippen: so then all I can assume is that your monitor needs to be forced into xorg [13:02] samphippen: if you look in /var/log/ you should see an X or xorg directory [13:02] ikonia; ouput: flexbuilder_linux_install_a4_081408.bin [13:02] Dr_willis: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras [13:02] samphippen: I've not got an ubuntu machine to check === mixed is now known as Mixed77 [13:02] i have http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu warty main universe [13:02] DarkKnight: so "sudo chmod 750 flexbuilder_linux_install_a4_081408.bin" [13:02] !info ubuntu-restricted-extras [13:03] zoyd: did you read what I said?

[13:03] zoyd, eol means not supported [13:03] Hi all, Does anyone know a good Partition recovering Program? [13:04] Simon1245: as I told you earlier, the data is gone [13:04] ikonia, dpaste.com/90728 [13:04] bazhang: thanks, didn't know that [13:04] Ikonia: It isn't [13:04] samphippen give me a few minutes to go through this [13:04] zoyd, get gutsy, hardy or intrepid [13:04] Simon1245 how do you know ? [13:04] ikonia, just give me a highlight [13:05] A guy who was helping me said the data is there but it will not show you something like that [13:05] Simon1245: you can use testdisk and dd_rescue to recover the partition to an image [13:05] i'm assuming there's no warty apt source anymore [13:05] Simon1245 the data is gone [13:05] Simon1245: you should have a backup if the data is important [13:05] zoyd, correct, they are gone [13:05] simon1245: hi. [13:05] simon1245: how did the partition get deleted [13:05] Gilister: Hi :) [13:05] bazhang: k, thanks [13:05] I don't know really [13:06] FloodBot3: hi [13:06] I didn't do anything bad i thinik [13:06] Simon1245, did you reformat? [13:06] Think* [13:06] simon1245: i have recovered lost partitions before [13:06] No [13:06] Simon1245, did you use a program to delete the partition? [13:06] simon1245: it is not 'necessarily' gone. [13:06] How did you do it Gilister? [13:06] Simon1245, the date is gone. If you have backups, then you are good. [13:06] simon1245: just take abreather everyone here is just trying to scare you [13:07] Simon1245: this is looking good for the card....looking like the monitor [13:07] No it worked yesterday i just got an error when i tried to login in the newest kernel [13:07] Now i cant do anything [13:07] ikonia, did you mean me? [13:07] samphippen: yes === santos is now known as santi [13:07] ikonia, well the screen does do 1280*1024 under winblows [13:07] simon1245: So, partitions can at times be recovered depending on the circumstances. I have done that for my work several times [13:08] ikonia, so I know it's at least possible [13:08] How to change my computer name? [13:08] simon1245: you will need a partition software tool. [13:08] ValentineXX╸ sudo nano /etc/hostname for permanent change [13:08] hello people. if sb has time, maybe can check my problem: http://www.nabble.com/zd1211rw-and-TP-Link%27s-TL-WN322G-td19626368.html [13:08] thank u in advance [13:09] hateball, can that only be done once? [13:09] Do you know a partition tool? [13:09] ActionParsnip, many program is all not responding, not only termial. [13:09] hateball: what do you mean by permanent change? [13:09] ohmygod, why enable root account [13:09] ok do you know anything about partition tables [13:09] ikonia, so what's next? [13:10] samphippen still reading, it's a big file [13:10] ikonia, kk [13:10] No :( [13:10] simon1245:ok do you know anything about partition tables [13:10] I'm new [13:10] ValentineXX, samphippen: I should have said persistant after reboot :) if you want a temporary change it's just: sudo hostname [13:10] ActionParsnip, I'm going to upgrade my system to try to solve the problem [13:10] hateball, awesome [13:10] samphippen: FYI: line 175 is the critical lines [13:10] bazhang, my normal account cann't work. [13:10] anyone? [13:11] ikonia, I see [13:11] samphippen your monitor is giving out bogus EDID info [13:11] hello, does anyone have a problem in firefox 3.03 in intrepid where choosing "view source" in the right click menu does nothing (and if so, how to fix it :)) ?? [13:11] ohmygod, use sudo [13:11] samphippen: let me work out how to approach this [13:11] ohmygod, dont enable root account === lipsin__ is now known as lipsin [13:11] hateball: sudo nano /etc/hostname newname ? [13:11] oh well here is the long and short of it. If your partition table is intact after simply deleting a partition then it 'could' be recovered using programs like Acronis paragon etc. but if you have erased the partition and have written on top of it. then its a no go [13:11] ikonia, I had an issue with one of the pins on my monitor before, I thought I got it properly aligned again [13:11] but it may just be perma-fucked [13:11] samphippen careful with the language [13:12] oops [13:12] my bad [13:12] gilster, what is acronis paragon [13:12] Gilister: Ok [13:12] bazhang, yes, that do [13:12] ValentineXX╸ no... nano could be replaced with text-editor of choice. /etc/hostname is the file that stores the name [13:12] samphippen: the pin shouldn't cause bad edid info, but it could stop the info being given [13:12] samphippen, please no cursing [13:12] bazhang: acronis and paragon are two different companies that make Partition tools similar to gparted [13:12] ikonia, yeah it looks like it's properly aligned [13:12] hateball: which editor is in my ubuntu? :-s [13:12] a bit more extensive [13:12] Hello everyone. Can someone point me in the direction of learning how to host an *.iso* for yaboot on a remote machine? btw might i just say, that you guys have thought me a great deal by helping me, thanks. [13:12] gilster, that is not good advice [13:13] bazhang: why/? [13:13] samphippen: what I'd like to try to do is hardcode/force your xorg.conf to be set to the right resolution [13:13] ikonia, that's just fine [13:13] whats not good advice [13:13] gilster, those are ##windows programs [13:13] ikonia, will that last over a dist-upgrade? [13:13] samphippen: let me do a little bit of working out [13:13] dude please [13:13] bazhang, if I login desktop by normal account, many program will be not responding. just root account can work. [13:13] those are NOT windows programs [13:13] samphippen sure, your xorg.conf doesn't get touched [13:13] those are boot programs [13:13] gilster, dont recommend windows programs in here please [13:14] ikonia, in that case let's do it [13:14] bazhang: one more time those are not windows programs [13:14] samphippen: just let me work out how to approach it, I've not done this for a long time and I'm quiet rusty [13:14] gilster, gparted [13:14] bazhang: get it straight. === stinger_ is now known as st1ng3r [13:14] ikonia, absolutley [13:14] bazhang, I'm looking for the reason [13:14] parted is the best :) [13:14] my problem: http://www.nabble.com/zd1211rw-and-TP-Link%27s-TL-WN322G-td19626368.html [13:14] ikonia, you take as long as you need [13:14] bazhang: they are dos boot up programs [13:14] ohmygod, why did you enable root account and not use sudo [13:15] Gilister: Is it posible to fix windows Partition to? [13:15] hallo Tee?

[13:16] Simon1245: as i was saying a partition table stores information on your harddrive about partitions if you deleted a partition and did not overwrite it with a new one. the info on the old one will still be there. if you have re-written to the hard drive a new file system [13:16] Gilister: Is it possible to fix windows Partition to?

[14:53] which is better XChat IRC or XChat-Gnome IRC? [14:53] It looks scary. [14:54] SOURdiesel: In my experience, the "Gnome" one is wonky and the XChat works just as it should [14:54] SOURdiesel: plain xchat [14:54] xBoy: and then it just stops compiling? [14:54] why is it when i boot into single user mode "vi" is NOT available and "nano" is? [14:54] You can block the PM's by running /mode +E [14:54] I changed my default desktop picture with another one, my own flower picture. [14:54] i don't recall when was the last time i single-user into any *nix that vi isn't availablew [14:54] thanks. i was wondering if it was me or the app when i tried to use XChat-Gnome before. [14:54] gangsterlicious, try vim and see if it's available.. [14:54] Rada, plus idk if it's in the repo yet just got word today [14:54] gangsterlicious: maybe in recovery only bins in /bin are avable and not those in /usr/bin ?? [14:55] i have run into a strange problem where i activated the bicubic filter in compiz and my entire screen got garbled. how do i disable the bicubic filter from the terminal? [14:55] trupheenix, try in #compiz they should know [14:55] gangsterlicious: I don't see how that can be as vim-tiny is installed by default and vi is a symlink to it [14:55] savvas: no it go on and make the apache mod, but when I use the mod it don't work [14:55] <[mbm]> xBoy: there's probably a warning about a missing header file before that bit [14:55] whynot: That's nice. I doubt you're the only one who likes to customize their desktop. =) [14:55] platius: There is a new virtualbox app [14:56] virtualbox-2 [14:56] gangsterlicious: except maybe /usr/bin/ is not in your path :o Just call /usr/bin/vi then [14:56] jrib: yea, absolute works [14:56] savvas and [mbm]: on Debian it work fine [14:57] <[mbm]> xBoy: do you understand what I said?

[14:58] scunizi: It is looks like work [14:59] tehgeek/ my current desktop picture is yellow flowers among rocks in mountain. I think those flowers reminds me of the linux. rocks=window user, flowers=linux and linux user [14:59] Is there some fix available for the terrible terminal fonts? Or perhaps an alternate font, which works well [14:59] sajt, you have a link to what you're looking at? [14:59] xBoy: no idea, if you can't find anything, maybe you can ask their support mailing list: http://www.modsecurity.org/contact/ [14:59] <[mbm]> xBoy: it would be printed before those errors that you put in the pastebin [15:00] savvas: thanks [15:01] [mbm]: what suggest you? [15:01] whynot: Yes, Linux does have some flower-like qualities about it, doesn't it. Much more than ibex traits.

Perhaps you've installed some software that is dependant on a MTA [15:21] amortvigil/thanks for your notice [15:21] Rainarrow: ok thx alot m8 [15:21] Ubuntu taking long time to start MTA at bootup !! whats the reason....? [15:21] geirha_, thank you very much [15:22] Myrtti: yeah, you're right, I should check out what kind of hardware access vmware grants [15:22] myrtti....thing is...it happens occasionally ..not always... [15:22] Prose, to me it's basically the time needed to boot Windows, on my Thinkpad T43 Windows takes about 5x more time to boot than Ubuntu [15:22] Prose: for example, I can't upgrade my phone on Virtualboxed Windows, but can do it on VMWare etc. [15:22] is there a channel for ubuntu server? [15:22] msk: could be misconfiguration, network problems [15:22] firefox keeps closing on me unexpectedly. am running hardy. where can I find the error for this logged? plz anyone :( [15:22] Prose, I prefer to work in ubuntu as my primary os. But because of work I need access to IE6+ for a lot of the sites I need to use. Everything else I can do in linux.. I keep the dual portion around for backup and games. [15:22] Rainarrow: THX now it works :) [15:23] Prose, since you need all the anti-virus and anti-malware to keep Windows safe [15:23] dekkong_, nevermind [15:23] bzrk..so ..what can i do...now ? [15:23] Ahtenus: Don't think so, but you can ask questions regarding Ubuntu Server here. [15:23] okef [15:23] y [15:23] msk: check the logs. [15:23] advice sounds fair enough [15:23] Ahtenus: #ubuntu-server exists, but you can ask questions about it here as well. [15:24] msk: check the relevant logfiles and see if anything relevant is in there [15:24] how do i kill all my open ssh connections? i must have forgot to logout, now when i ssh into my other box i have 2 logins... [15:24] Prose, I just started using vbox and like it.. to make it more functional you have to get it direct from them.. that is, if you want usb support [15:24] now i have pts/1 always logged in and now a new login gives me pts/2 pts/3, how can i kill all these open connections? [15:24] bzrk...where are these logfiles ? [15:25] msk: /var/log [15:25] billybigrigger: you can kill the process attached to the pts/1 ?? [15:25] scunizi: I've used vbox and with some minor tweaks got usb support and I like it also :) It's sad that it doesn't give access to hardware acceleration but I guess it's the nature of the beast [15:26] Prose, vmware server & player doesn't either... that is .. hardware acceleration [15:26] I am trying to make my apache server use ssl (self certified) using this guide https://help.ubuntu.com/7.10/server/C/httpd.html#https-configuration but when i run the command openssl x509 -req -days 365 -in server.csr -signkey server.key -out server.crt it returns: server.csr no such file or directory [15:26] erUSUL, i just want to kill the connections... [15:26] hello i use akgregator and each time there is some "new feed", i have to check both "unread" and "new" feeds to be sure i didn't miss one, what should i do/ how can i configure it, to avoid this.. and read only ONE folder ? [15:26] Ahtenus: well, do you have server.csr -file in the directory you're running the command in? [15:26] is there anything between dual-booting and vbox or vware virtualization that permits hardware acceleration ? or are these the only two discrete levels :D ? [15:27] virtualisation doesn't do hardware acceleration, period [15:27] Myrtti: no but isnt it supose to create it? [15:27] Ahtenus: it creates server.crt, not server.csr... [15:27] how do i locate a file in repos through terminal without installing it [15:28] Prose, vmware has products that allow for hardware acceleration. Most are paid products. They do have something I think called ESX server which is free and is it's own linux distro.. sortof.. [15:28] hello i have a logitech pc clear chat wirelees headset [15:28] AbortD: apt-file [15:29] billybigrigger: fuser /dev/pts/* will show you the pids of the processes using those devices [15:29] Myrtti: okey, so what shuld i do then? [15:29] Ahtenus: http://www.digicert.com/csr-creation-apache.htm [15:29] how can i config that it work [15:29] billybigrigger: sudo apt-get install && sudo cutter serverip 22 [15:29] Myrtti: thanks [15:30] scunizi: seems to be a lot of trouble for nothin (in my case). dual-booting wins [15:31] Prose, are games your goal?

Is there a file that is locked somehow and can only connect to one network ? please help. [15:32] Roconda: like POV Ray ? [15:32] My keyboard layout is reset every few minutes..I cannot pinpoint the problem. It seems the definition in my xorg.conf doesn't apply to my keyboard.

[15:35] right :P [15:35] Pici...thank you. :-) [15:35] erm can you access the addons.mozilla.org page? [15:35] Prose, check out songbird and gtkpod for ipod support.. also Rockbox..

[16:32] vladtsepesh84 are you on ubuntu 8.10 or 8.04 (or even older version)? On older versions you had to do "sudo chmod +s /usr/bin/cpufreq-selector" do enable the selection menu for the applet.

[16:33] oh [16:33] thanks ultrahex [16:33] Meshach: SMB should have a master browser (the machine that knows all the others) so you can 'see' them. [16:34] Myrtti, but i need path the driver for aircrack [16:34] i apply one path for the module source [16:34] redheat: no problem [16:34] Jeruvy: Yes, it's my modem though, not the computer [16:34] Meshach: if you have conflicts or browser services not running then they will not appear. They may still work fine, just not browsable [16:34] i installed this driver 1 week back, and run fine, but the other day fail, and never i can comback for run [16:34] KarlsBerg: then download the sources too? can't see the problem [16:34] Jeruvy, how do you make sure all those features are turned on? [16:35] Myrtti, look this [16:35] http://rafb.net/p/IHNI2G92.html [16:35] i done it....now i can change between "on demand" and "performance" ....there is a way to chose "power conservation" or not? [16:35] the other days i touch the mac for change it without problem [16:35] vladtsepesh84: well on demand is the more power friendly; isn't it? [16:36] vladtsepesh84 can't you select power-save in there? I can choose between fixed MHz's and conservative, on-demand, powersave and performance. [16:36] Meshach: you say the modem is the problem? [16:36] vladtsepesh84: I found that my battery on my laptop lasts a lot longer with ubuntu rather than windows. [16:36] oussema: done [16:36] Jeruvy: I don't know if it's the problem or not... It is the master browser though [16:36] i found the opposite [16:36] ;( [16:37] vladtsepesh84: What brand/model of laptop are you using? [16:37] i hope becouse of the power cpu freq monitor was offline [16:37] i have a toshiba satellite M50 [16:37] Meshach: review /var/log/messages and /var/log/samba/* for any info.

[16:41] hmm going to try security part then [16:41] erUSUL on my 8.04 there's only cpufreq-selector. vladtsepesh84 the package you need is called "cpufrequtils". simply to "sudo apt-get instal cpufrequtils" in a terminal [16:41] y. i've got 1945 working on intrepid [16:41] I am having problems connecting to the internet via wifi [16:42] !wifi | theundecided [16:42] theundecided: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [16:42] tim__b: the other command comes via cpufrequtils [16:42] how can i convert an iso image to a cue image?

[16:43] Meshach, ifconfig [16:43] crushell, no all i've been able to find is iso to cue [16:43] crushell, i mean cue to iso [16:43] erUSUL, any else by any chance? [16:43] What is the "{a}" next to package names while installing things with command like aptitude? [16:43] Jeruvy: Heyyy I can see logs of other computers from /var/log/samba [16:44] is there a link to connect to a already setup router. I just need to connect to it not set it up [16:44] . [16:44] I think my motherboard biosa needs an update however i can't update it unless reinstall Vista [16:44] cramop: there was another... system76 iirc [16:44] !fedora [16:44] Other !Linux distributions besides !Ubuntu include: Debian, Mepis (using !APT); RedHat, Fedora, SUSE, Mandriva (using !RPM); Gentoo, Slackware (using other packaging systems) [16:44] i have done cpufreq-set powersave but the cpu percentage is 42% it is still to much hight [16:44] Jeruvy: I can see Michael-Laptop, the sony, and other ones with my local ip adresses [16:44] Have the noobs gone who automatically open private chat Windows when you say something?

[16:45] neighborlee, hi? are you korean? [16:45] Meshach: yes, browsing doesn't normally affect the connection to the shares, just the ability to 'see' them. Most common problem is multiple (windows) machines all thinking they are the master browser, but even ubuntu will try this, if you configured it in smb.conf (Wins server = x.x.x.x) [16:45] Jeruvy: So the cure, would be to..? [16:46] !menu&console [16:46] Sorry, I don't know anything about menu&console [16:46] TopBunny88: so you can do as described here http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=318789 [16:46] IsthereawayIcanembedaterminalsessiononmydesktop? [16:46] TopBunny88: You can d/l from bootdisk.com a bios-flashing friendly boot image. Then from linux burn a bootable cd using the floppy disk image as the one to use. Then put the bios bin file and the flash cli update exe on there as well. [16:46] Meshach: elect ONE machine to be master browser, turn off all the others. Then restart SMB on all machines (windows needs to reboot) [16:46] south_korea, nope Im not, but thx for the hi and back at ya ;)) [16:46] third time's a charm [16:46] hi, since I use Ubuntu 8.10 I can no longer enter the body of my hotmail e-mails, do you have the same problem? [16:47] is there a way to easaly connect wirelessly to a already setup router like windows does it [16:47] Vinceman: elaborate, with which browser, client etc [16:47] Vinceman: this probably does not have to do with Ubuntu precisely but with firefox or the browser in which you are using [16:47] gencha^, DoesbootdiscdotcomhavethelatestbiosforthrHppavilliona6230n [16:47] is it possible to make your terminal truly transparent without compiz?

[16:48] what does the {a} next to package names while installing things with aptitude in the command line mean? :[ [16:48] TopBunny88, http://www.tectonic.co.za/wordpress/?p=1719, embed your terminal in desktop with devilspie [16:48] Meshach: in windows turn off computer browser service. In ubuntu, you configure the WINS server options in smb.conf. [16:48] vladtsepesh84 how to you control your cpu usage? cause afaik it for example 45% of the actuall clocking of your cpu. my cpu is at 800mhz at the moment and is used to 50%, meaning 50% of 800MHz. [16:48] I use firefox [16:48] how can i convert an iso image to a cue image? [16:48] how can i format a partition? [16:48] Jeruvy: So how would I make the modem the master machine? [16:48] !iso | profanephobia [16:48] profanephobia: To mount an ISO disc image, type « sudo mount -o loop » - There is a list of useful cd image conversion tools at http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/CD_Image_Conversion - Always verify the ISO using !MD5 before !burning. [16:48] Meshach: I do not understand the question? [16:49] tim__b: the cpu freq monitor pannel tell me the percentage of cpu usage [16:49] Jeruvy: Because right now with windows the modem is considered the master browser [16:49] Anyone has dual monitors in ubuntu? thx [16:49] smoovep, i do... took some work though. :( [16:49] Meshach: the modem? What is the make and model? [16:50] crushell: did you use xinerama? seems to be the only option out there.. [16:50] erUSUL, none of those covers what im needing to do [16:50] Jeruvy: It is a Motorola Surfboard, I can find out the model # if you want [16:50] hey folks, my mom needs to see if her 56k modem is installed in ibex, is there a way to see if it's installed? [16:50] smoovep, i'm using nvidia-settings with my nvidia card.... [16:50] vladtsepesh84 44% is the lowest level i can get with my cpu too. it's the smallest stepping your cpu got. i don't believe that you can get lowser then that on windows. [16:51] Myrtti, ultrahex anyway, it's not really a problem, I'll just stop using hotmail [16:51] vladtsepesh: Perhaps get a better battery? [16:51] crushell: I have an nvidia card with two output as well.. the vga works fine.. the dvi does not.. [16:51] I just did an update (update-manager) and now X won't run (8.10) [16:51] pochi, did you do a partial update? [16:51] smoovep, did you try setting them up in the nvidia-settings manager? [16:51] having a problem with Konversation and nvidia driver 96.43.09 in intrepid - is anyone else useing that combination? [16:51] booksbuggy_: no, all 79 packages was installed [16:51] Meshach: thats a cable modem, it doesn't have any other functionality, or does it have it's own router?

[16:53] thank to everibody [16:53] smoovep, yeah. nvidia-settings manager doesn't like the new xorg.conf file... [16:53] Jeruvy: The wire from the modem goes directly to a router and some computer plugin to that router, then it goes to another router with more computer and so on [16:53] xcomp: lspci [16:53] I was thinking maybe I should reinstall X, but I don't know what to write (usually uses synaptic for that stuff) [16:54] smoovep, i can't tell you exactly what I did but i had to let the nvidia-settings manager write it's own xorg.conf file. really annoying [16:54] pochi, well this site shows some of the things [16:54] vladtsepesh84: Well, it seems that you wouldn't get an accurate reading with a bad battery..

But check its settings. Your modem shouldn't even see this traffic :) === slayton is now known as slayton_lunch [16:54] pochi, back up your files first [16:55] booksbuggy_: what files?

[16:57] beta__, synaptics and select broken pakage part [16:57] hi all. i was trying to install new release of ubuntu, intrepid from the live cd. When it comes to partitioning it neither shows the option manual or guided..nor any existing partitions. so i am unable to select any location for installation and i cannot proceed further. i have tried with live dvd also . still the same problem. later i installed through the text mode. i googled for the solution but i couldn't one.

Just wanted to check this out and see if it would be a good place to ask questions from time to time when I need help with Ubuntu [17:57] norbert79: it doesn't appears in the screenshot, i don't think it's a firefox problem, but something different, i don't knwo [17:57] DO I need to register my screen name? [17:57] norbert79: it's like a video problem then [17:57] rubicon1, no, not always [17:57] dob1: A short look could help us a lot to understand your problem tough [17:58] norbert79: i have to take a photo of the monitor, but i don't have a camera [17:58] ehm, Press PrintScreen [17:58] upper right on your keyboard [17:58] norbert79: no, you don't understand i did the screenshot [17:58] dob1: Ah, I see [17:58] dob1: So it's not visible on the screenshot [17:59] norbert79: yes, this is why i think it's most a video problem [17:59] dob1: What videocard do you own? lspci as root [17:59] list [17:59] I use to have an app running, i think it was part of compiz, when i moved my mouse pointer to the left border of the screen it iconized all the running apps into the middle of the screen and i could then pick the one i wanted. [17:59] I cant remember what its called though. [18:00] norbert79: it's an nvidia 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation NV25 [GeForce4 Ti 4200] (rev a3) , i disable the desktop effetcts with them i had problems on gvim too [18:00] i have the legacy driver (from ubuntu) installed [18:00] is there a way to filter messages that come up on the screen so it doesn't show people logging in and out? === Netty is now known as jackie999 [18:00] i don't know if they are related [18:01] rubicon1, yes there are, but where? Pidgin? [18:01] sorry, yes [18:01] i am using pidgin right now. [18:01] it works great [18:01] dob1: Probably, try the official driver, not the legacy one... I don't know if the GF4 series needs the legacy driver by now [18:01] rubicon1, check your plugins , i believe there is one that removes those messages [18:01] lots like pidgin..looks too much like aol for me [18:02] norbert79: yes, i can't use the latest one, my video card is old [18:02] dob1: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=970237 [18:02] cool, found it! Thanks! [18:03] I only just got my nvidia card working with effects [18:03] dob1: This might be interesting for you [18:07] * fat_rat needs coffee... [18:07] norbert79: thanks i read it, hope to solve [18:07] anybody know anything about the current 8.10 patch from today? Anybody at all? [18:07] Yeah, at least 5 minutes without support requestss [18:07] dob1 which drivers you tried? [18:07] me and my big mouth :) [18:07] got a question here, i got ubuntu 7.10 ,the latest wine you can get for that in repository or as .deb package is 1.0.0 , later versions are only released for 8.04-8.10 . however im reluctant to upgrade to that.. is there any way i can get the newer wine versions to run? if i just download the deb package and try to install it asks for dependencies i dont have who are not present in repository either :S [18:08] smacfarl: For all the recent packages you might want to check http://packages.ubuntu.com [18:08] Hi. is it possible to run ubuntu in paravirtualized mode from virt-install on Xen? [18:08] lassesandberg: Tahts an easy one... http://wine.budgetdedicated.com - Use the etch version, that works well too [18:08] jackie999: now i have the ubuntu official [18:09] lassesandberg: Those are the most recent packages [18:09] dob1 I tried the 173 and didn't work ..came here and found out the 96 was also compatible..so using it now === mike is now known as Guest27080 [18:09] jackie999: i suppose it's a video driver issue [18:10] jackie999: i am not sure [18:10] Are Login and passwd legit updates? I know this sounds a little Windows but seems scary that both would need updating. [18:10] dob1 have you installed envy? doesn't really work for intrepid..but tells you which driver you're using..and which ones are compatible [18:10] AlanBShepard70: Yes... Some changes were done against them, if you are unsure, stick to the current version [18:11] i see a lot of screen shots that have icons at the bottom of the screen like the mac taskbar thing. what app are people using for that? [18:11] lassesandberg: http://www.winehq.org/site/download-deb - For generic instructions for getting wine from the official repository [18:11] riz_: Avant-Window manager [18:11] jackie999: i try [18:11] <3 you helpful people [18:11] riz_, you mean a dock? it;s called avant windows navigator and you can find it in Add Remove [18:11] where have you been all my life? [18:11] Waiting for you :P [18:11] norbert79: I just wanted to make sure nothing bad was happening. If they're real I have no problem updating. [18:12] is avant a little buggy? [18:12] is there a way i can change the date format in my panel with the clock [18:12] jackie999, not for me? [18:12] trying to install on a usb stick - i can get through everything but when i boot i get a grub error 18 (bios can't understand the block addressing) and my bios doesn't give an option to move away from LBA. i did a previous install of a live usb for hd install but i would like the os to live on the usb but do not want to need to modify the bios to support it. can anyone help? [18:12] can anyone tell me how to add a local directory with packages to the sources.list ? i tried the directions from man but file:/// doesnt work for me [18:12] norbert: let's give remote desktop a try anyway [18:12] k - my system is old..it seemed to come and go for me [18:12] and was behind the panel..didn't like that [18:12] albuntu the easiest way is to use repository managing software, try falcon its pretty simple to use and is in the repos [18:12] norbert79 thanks but i know of that, dont think you understand my problem. please look at this page : http://wine.budgetdedicated.com/archive/index.html . the latest for each ubuntu version is the same as you can get in the repositories for each. but the highest wine version available for any ubuntu version below 8.04 is 1.0.0 . i need 1.1.4 [18:13] AlanBShepard70: Works for me even after the update [18:13] norbert79: Ok cool. [18:13] lassesandberg: No chance... The latest for Gutsy would be using the etch package, and thats 1.1.1 [18:13] lassesandberg: You have to build your own [18:13] I need help to lock Firefox settings!!! I have been doing that with older versions of Firefox. But now in 3.0.4 the directories are quite different. First I have copied firefox.cfg to /usr/lib/firefox, then I have to add this pref("general.config.filename", "mozilla.cfg"); to /usr/lib/firefox/greprefs/all.js but grepref directory is no more inside /usr/lib/firefox. I'm lost. Does anybody know ?? :( [18:14] slayton_lunch: ok thanks. going to try it. another thing. can you tell me how to update my directory packages to intrepid. i am using debmirror for that but i didnt found an exact command [18:14] norbert79 i had not seen down at debian 1.1.1 was available, thanks, but still think i need higher... im not sure how complicated it would be to create my own? im not that hardcore linux user [18:14] Ubuntu_rulez how did you upgrade to firefox 3.0.4 [18:14] albuntu, I don't use intrepid... actually falcon is broken in intrepid [18:14] Anyone know how to make mouse media buttons work on XFCE GLOBALY? Not just one application. [18:15] slayton_lunch: ok thanks [18:15] lassesandberg: I see, well, not that easy, but you might ask someone doing it for you... Or you might considering on updating. I know it sucks, but maybe there are some other Gutsy users like you who are also using a higher Wine version, than 1.1.1 [18:15] my wifi is slower than it was on suse [18:15] Cluny: Check your personal messages [18:16] is there something i must edit to increase performance [18:16] !wiki [18:16] http://wiki.ubuntu.com - Ubuntu development documentation wiki.

[18:16] norbert79: i've tried googeling everyone seems to just upgrade.. i did try upgrading to 8.04 once but it screwed up totally and had to reinstall and start for scratch, not risking that again... do you tihnk you could assist in compiling a newer wine? if i give shh /remote access or whatever its called [18:16] jackie999: Yes, thats the default [18:16] norbert79, where can I get them..plug ins? [18:17] lassesandberg: Sorry, I cannot help you with that, pretty busy, and that would need a lot of time too [18:17] my very big problem. i have an asus wifi pci card that needs the drivers. i verified and it has a broadcom chipset. i saw the wiki and i know that i need the b43 package but since i have no internet connection in that pc can anyone tell me what to do ??? i am using intrepid 64 bit. thank you [18:17] jackie999: Plugins? Just select some sound effects for your needs [18:17] norbert79 okay, thanks for help, will try the 1.1.1 and see if that works, and take it from there [18:18] norbert79, this is a new install...where would you find sound files? is there an xchat site ? [18:18] albuntu, you can download the package on one computer with apt-get install -d then copy the package over and install it with sudo dpgk -i .deb [18:18] jackie999: Well, you might try Google too for a start [18:18] albuntu, do you still have the livecd? [18:18] sudo dpkg -i * === slayton_lunch is now known as slayton [18:18] norbert79, okay..gotcha..thought maybe they were in the download...thanks [18:18] dli: yes i have it [18:18] albuntu, or, can you do: sudo modprobe b43 [18:19] dli, is the b43 module there by default? [18:19] slayton: no its not [18:19] i tried that [18:19] ikonia: Sorry, I have Firefox 3.0.3 [18:19] albuntu, so just download the deb, copy it over using a usb drive then install it by hand [18:19] i tried also downloading and installing it but [18:19] albuntu, boot livecd, try the old driver, b43xx [18:19] hello now i am going to install ubuntu, for which folders should i create a seperate partition? such that when i format i dont want to lose my documents and alike files\ [18:20] ok i am back again .... after doing a text-based install this time (cause live cd install did not work) ... it begins to boot into X the circle loader goes around once then it is a hard freeze. [18:20] But the problem is the same [18:20] dli it isnt in there [18:20] slayton: i installed it but i dont know how to manage that [18:20] albuntu, sorry, bcm43xx [18:20] what do you mean you installed it but can't manage it? [18:20] do i have to get the windows drivers ? and install them with b43 ? [18:21] is it possible to uninstall evolution without losing gnome-panel or ubuntu-desktop? I don't want evolution on my system, but on the other hand I don't want a broken system [18:21] because after installing b43 i get no change [18:21] pw- why do you want to remove evolution [18:21] ? [18:21] *scratches head* Google doesn't like me. ~~~ No way to use mouse media buttons on XFCE>? [18:21] because i don't use it [18:21] I want to lock Firefox settings. I have been doing that with older versions of Firefox. But now in 3.0.3 the directories are quite different. First I have copied firefox.cfg to /usr/lib/firefox, then I have to add this pref("general.config.filename", "mozilla.cfg"); to /usr/lib/firefox/greprefs/all.js but grepref directory is no more inside /usr/lib/firefox. [18:21] same with totem movie player [18:21] !video [18:21] Ubuntu 7.04 installs multimedia codecs automatically. For older versions of Ubuntu, or if you can't use the automatic installer, see https://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/common-tasks-chap.html - For multimedia applications, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MultimediaApplications [18:21] pw-, it takes up a few mb of disk space... just remove it from the application menu and forget about it [18:22] pw-, it is going to be a lot more effort then the few mb are worth... [18:22] pw-, other then recovering the disk space there is NO benefit to removing evolution [18:22] I've got a MuvoTxFM mp3 player that rhythmbox isn't recognizing. I created an empty file called .is_music_player, but it doesn't seem to have helped. [18:23] i realize the latter, though i don't quite understand the former === AliTarihi|away is now known as AliTarihi [18:23] anyone have any idea why X would crash on startup ? [18:23] it seems weird to me that ubuntu would force me to have certain programs on my system [18:23] pw-, ubuntu-desktop is just a metapackage, removing it does not remove it's applications [18:23] pw-, yes it is possible. hold on [18:23] hai [18:23] i also installed the dependencies. i also tried ndiswrapper but i cant get that card to work [18:23] what do i use to create home movies? [18:23] pw-, gnome-applet does not depend on evolution [18:24] anyone know what to do if bluetooth hardware isnt showing up in lspci? [18:24] pw-, https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/13163 [18:24] albuntu, which one exists now? bcm43xx or b43? [18:24] i thought so, too! but it uninstalled it anyway, joaopinto [18:24] pw-, it is not asking for removal on my system... [18:24] hmm.. === egoflux_ is now known as egoflux [18:25] pw- when I run: sudo apt-get remove evolution I don't see any non-evolution packages getting marked for removal [18:25] either [18:25] The following packages will be REMOVED: [18:25] evolution evolution-exchange evolution-plugins [18:25] just those :) [18:25] pw-, look, ubuntu is another windows. Its made to just work. if u want customizable distro you have to go with something more user-centric/oriented. like Debian or gentoo [18:25] pw-, ubuntu intrepid here [18:25] what are pros of ubuntu and what are cons of xubuntu [18:25] how do i resize my linux partition? [18:25] usser, what? [18:25] norbert79: Ok I see that the password package is being updated. According to http://changelogs.ubuntu.com/changelogs/pool/main/s/shadow/shadow_4.1.1-1ubuntu1.1/changelog Should this be enough to be confident that this change will not compromise my computer? [18:25] hi [18:25] slaytanic, what? [18:25] usser: Think that through again... [18:25] como me cambio el nick? [18:25] usser, ubuntu is not another windows, and it is just user centric as any other distribution ! [18:25] subone: have a look at gparted [18:25] usser, " ubuntu is another windows. Its made to just work. if u want customizable distro you have to go with something more user-centric/oriented. like Debian or gentoo" [18:25] pw-: You have to be careful. If you remove evolution and it then removes ubuntu desktop, you're system will be fine. But since you've remoevd ubuntu desktop it may then assume you don't want any of its dependent packages, and so if you try and autoremove unused programs you'll find that synaptic tries to remove the whole system. [18:26] usser what does that mean === gaintsura__ is now known as gaintsura [18:26] ubd, http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/whichbuntu [18:26] !enter | joaopinto [18:26] remoteLAP: ty [18:26] joaopinto: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [18:26] Wakeonwlan .. possible? A-link USB wlan... [18:26] norbert79, slaytanic i stand by that. [18:26] usser ubuntu is totally customizable... what do you mean by "its another windows" [18:26] usser that claim makes no sense [18:26] aye oOarthurOo, that's the problem i'm trying to avoid [18:26] anyone know what to do if bluetooth hardware isnt showing up in lspci? [18:26] subone: np [18:26] * LF|Irssi smells a troll [18:26] usser: Linux is not Windows... Besides, for flaming go to #ubuntu-offtopic === mike is now known as Guest42186 [18:26] pw-: It would be safest to remove ubuntu-desktop as a meta-package, see what programs it believes oughtt o be autoremoved. Then mark them all as being auto-installed. [18:26] i did however figure out my flaw, apt-get is friendlier to removal of a single package than aptitude, it seems my problem it solved =) [18:27] smacfarl: Look, if it has been signed with the right GPG key, it must be coming from the right maintainer. [18:27] wow pw- people keep telling me that aptitude is better. *shrug* I keep using apt-get too [18:27] slayton, its windows in a sense that u get lots of unneeded packages with it that u wont use. is there a reason for bluetooth packages to be installed on a system with no bluetooth. i dont wanna start a flamewar so lets forget i said that. its my own opinion. sorry [18:27] hi, can you introduce me a network diagram software for linux? [18:27] !offtopic [18:27] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [18:28] lifestream, it's better in certain situations, like removing everything pertaining to a certain package, however, sometimes thing pertain to a package that shouldn't, in which case apt-get seems to be the better choice [18:28] i have to agree on the bluetooth part [18:28] pw- Then you can safely remove the smaller programs you don't want, like evolution. Be careful though, there is one evolution part that is required for gnome. The data server if I recall correctly. Just go slow and check what packages are being auto removed by your changes. [18:28] how can i learn how much ram my pc has [18:28] ubd: free [18:28] norbert79: Thanks. Sorry to be paranoid but when you see updates to the password module and the login module at the same time it should trigger at least a little anxiety? Right? [18:28] ubd: Start System monitor, or use top, or free [18:29] can anyone help with hardware that isnt showing up in lspci? [18:29] ubd, try htop too [18:29] Second VGA Card? Any got this going under ubuntu.. i followd all steps for xinerama, didn't work.. [18:29] thx [18:29] Sk8rdude, what is the hardware [18:29] lifestream: pw- Neither one is better / worse. They're just two tools. The key is to pick one and stick with it. If you use synaptic then you're using apt, so use that on the command line. [18:29] bluetooth stack [18:29] intel chip [18:29] smoovep, don't use xinerama its old broken, use twinview [18:29] system monitor is a hog, use htop 'sudo apt-get install htop' then type htop in a terminal :) [18:29] smacfarl: I agree on your approach, it was a wise one, but check for every possible violation, like GPG key missing, or md5sum checks, etc [18:29] smoovep, i've used both and my life was much easier with twinview [18:29] twinview? okay.. [18:29] smoovep, besides there is better functionality [18:30] 740160 bytes? [18:30] i'll try.. thanks..

[18:43] Hello all, I've got 8.10 on a Macbook v3 with some suspend issues [18:43] !best | faryshta [18:43] faryshta: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots.

[18:43] faryshta, I'd go with the dell , it has ubuntu pre installed [18:43] anyone happen to look at the syslog i posted or have any suggestions? [18:43] faryshta, its like 350 bucks [18:44] slayton, unfortunately I will have to buy it with windows since in mexico there is not ubuntu version :( let me check their page. [18:44] Is it possible to upgrade to jaunty yet? [18:44] Also, is the 2.6.28 kernel in jaunty? [18:44] faryshta, http://www.dell.com/content/products/productdetails.aspx/laptop-inspiron-9?c=us&cs=19&l=en&s=dhs [18:45] norbert79, just made a usb stick from ubuntu server cd with unetbootin and installed basic gui. no xfce or that eeexubuntu junk. Then just installed the customized ubuntu-eeepc kernel which has been working fine for a month already [18:45] solarion, the first alpha of jaunty will be available on november 20. [18:45] solarion, try #ubuntu+1 === mike is now known as Guest8015 [18:45] slayton: I did, and got redirected here. [18:45] usser: What Window manager do you prefer? What was the size after the install? [18:46] I mean the size of the OS [18:46] home will have a seperate partition, how much space in gigabytes do i need for / [18:46] faryshta: does that mean it's not possible to s/interepid/jaunty/ in apt.sources and upgrade? [18:46] faryshta: or does "alpha" only mean "with CD"? [18:47] * solarion needs 2.6.28, or the eeepc touchpad randomly clicking while typing will drive him mad [18:47] has anyone used ubuntu as a nas? [18:47] or nas/san [18:47] norbert79, i use openbox with pypanel and wbar, which is a osx like lightweight docker. with all the applications i need like skype abiword, bunch of NES sega snes emulators, audio/video player etc it takes up 1.2gb [18:47] I looked at openfiler, but wasn't really happy with it [18:47] solarion, yes, means that. === gondim_ is now known as Andre_Gondim [18:47] norbert79, openbox being the window manager [18:47] usser: Sounds nice [18:48] faryshta: so it's possible to upgrade now? [18:48] (off topic) do I need to port forward to get vnc working over the net? [18:48] or is that a Really Bad Idea [18:48] you can add some repositories to your sources.list but that will not warranty an dist-upgrade, just applications upgrade. [18:48] k, since i know the cdrom is buggered up, i think i'll try installing from a usb stick. i have a kingmax 4gig superstick, i think ill try it [18:48] usser: What about that Midi PC distro from Ubuntu? Any experience with that? [18:48] tsunami: yes, unless you have VPN [18:48] Anyone in here running an install under Wubi?

[18:52] slayton, yeah, I know, still sleepy today :P [18:52] ok ok [18:52] norbert79, what is your qestion again? [18:53] I'm seeing online that /proc/sys/kernel/hotplug should contain a path like /sbin/hotplug or /sbin/udevsend. Mine is empty, udev is installed (and working AFAICT), and there IS no /sbin/{udevsend,hotplug} binary. I'm running Ubuntu 8.04 server with a recent -xen kernel. [18:53] Damn the dollar raise will kill my x-mas. The computer prices are 20% higher than 3 months ago. [18:53] sorry, I was wrong. I had joined too many channels. [18:53] slaytanic: Generic experience on Ubuntu on Eee, any issues, etc [18:53] norbert79, just get ubuntu server and do custom install with only packages u need [18:53] My question is -- what is supposed to be in /proc/sys/kernel/hotplug by default? [18:53] mrled, what is it you are trying to do ? [18:53] usser: Thx, I will give both a try [18:53] norbert79, my name is Slayton not slaytanic [18:53] well, xen says that hotplugging isn't working when I do 'xm create' [18:53] slayton: Happens :) [18:53] ;-) [18:54] norbert79, 8.10 runs very smoothly on eee, no problems at all, even wireless works with stock kernel u just have to blacklist ath5_pci [18:54] and around the web it was indicated that this could be because of something wrong in the /proc/ file. [18:54] ggg [18:54] usser: Understood, thx, noted [18:54] Hello. [18:54] anyone that can give me a link to a wiki on how to use b43 ? do i have to get the windows drivers ?

[18:55] !broadcom > albuntu [18:55] albuntu, please see my private message [18:55] !acpi > technicallyhesri [18:55] Sorry, I don't know anything about acpi [18:55] guys, why isnt python2.6 in ubuntu :( [18:55] I want to know how much power Ubuntu machines would consume versus how much power Windows machines would consume. [18:55] technicallyhesri, look into acpi [18:55] Help? === mike is now known as Guest91029 [18:55] bokbaard, ask in ubuntu-motu [18:55] slayton: thx [18:55] Tetracomm, it's the hardware the consumes power, and depends on how the power management is tuned. if ubuntu is running your fans nonstop or something it might not be configured right [18:55] hwilde: thanks [18:55] Tetracomm, if you have newer hardware windows will probably consume less [18:56] hwilde: I'll do that, I'm getting some sata io errors [18:56] Guest91029: Don't use that name, it's being registered for someone else... Use /msg nickserv help for options in Freenode [18:56] Tetracomm, i saw a decrease of about 30 minutes when I switched from XP to linux [18:56] hi [18:56] hwilde: yes; there is no 'hotplug' package, but there is a 'hotplug-utils' virtual package which seems to resolve to 'fxload'. fxload installs a /sbin/fxload binary, however, it does not install /sbin/hotplug, and changing the contents of /proc/sys/kernel/hotplug to '/sbin/fxload' does not seem to make a difference in my xen problem. [18:57] technicallyhesri, also there are some bios settings [18:57] hey ok... so ive been working on installing 8.10 desktop i386 [18:57] !find hotplug [18:57] hi [18:58] so far i have it get in and freeze with a whiter/brighter then usual beige background and a black cursor [18:58] anyone have any idea? [18:58] Has anyone discovered a solution to the "could not lock the device error" you get when trying to access a usb camera? [18:58] Second Video Card: TwinView was just some changes in the xorg.conf with TwinView as an option for the second card.. didn't work for me.. .. [18:58] Ultrahex, if you hit ctrl+alt+F1 do you get a text login promp [18:58] hwilde: I think I'll go to the hardware room and ask around too [18:58] hwilde: no [18:58] Ultrahex, it's locking up then and that is bad. can you do safe mode [18:58] slayton: What do you mean? [18:58] hwilde: yes [18:58] anyone know how to use awk? I need a little think for correct the nvidia driver for sony vaio laptop [18:59] shawe, example? [18:59] hwilde: i have tried removing compiz, so it wouldn't boot at start but that did not fix the problem (as was indicated by many users) [18:59] Tetracomm, when I used XP I got about 3:15 of batttery life in ubuntu I get about 2:45-2:30 [18:59] !anyone | shawe [18:59] shawe: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? [18:59] hwilde: not sure if '!find hotplug' was meant for me, but doing `locate hotplug` on my system returns kernel modules, xen scripts, something in /usr/share/ifdown/, and nothing else. :( [18:59] hwilde: either way it hard crashes just in differnt ways [18:59] error.. Screen 1 deleted becuse of no matching config section [19:00] Ultrahex, you can try a different window manager like ice-wm or kde [19:00] hwilde, I need the value Backlight level from sudo nvclock -i [19:00] mrled, usually the bot picks that up [19:00] slayton: You might try powertop if you own an Intel processor [19:00] with this, I can correct the driver nvidia for vaio laptops [19:00] hwilde: ah :) [19:00] slayton: 'powertop' [19:00] hwilde: but i know gnome works for me given that everything worked fine in 8.04.1 [19:00] norbert79, I've used power top [19:00] shawe, sudo nvclock -i | grep Backlight [19:00] norbert79, its pretty nice [19:00] slayton: Did it work? [19:00] hwilde, only the value [19:00] norbert79, but I'm rarely in a place where I ndon't have a power plug === alex_ is now known as Fougner [19:00] hwilde: or has the new version of gnome really killed all of support for ati? [19:00] norbert79, so I don't really care [19:01] with sudo nvclock -i | awk '{print $3;}' I have the colum [19:01] heey, folks, got gnome and Xfce fighting at my desk [19:01] but from all output [19:01] 2+ hours is more then enough battery life for me [19:01] Ultrahex, hmm did you get all the updates or is that not possible for you [19:01] slayton: Was just a genertic support hint ;-) [19:01] kinda not so fun [19:01] slayton: Maybe it has something to do with your power settings. [19:01] hwilde: i manually dhcped and updated everything [19:01] May I have a second opinion on the power consumption of Windows machines vs Ubuntu machines? [19:01] changes appearance every 5s. [19:01] shawe, sudo nvclock -i | awk '{print $1, $3}' | grep Backlight [19:01] xDDD [19:02] Tetracomm: it really depends on what you are using it for and your hardware it is hard to compare in the regards in which you are saying [19:02] hwilde, yes, I don't think in this xDD [19:02] any suggestions on what to do? [19:02] thanks [19:02] Tetracomm, it depends on how compatible your drivers are with the hardware and how your OS is tuned to save power. [19:02] I go to apply and test that if it works wells [19:02] Tetracomm, I firmly believe that if you take any OEM windows machine with decent power management it will have a longer battery life then ubuntu [19:02] promethalus, what you mean by fighting? [19:02] !enter | promethalus [19:02] promethalus: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [19:03] promethalus, can you ask your question in one line? [19:03] slayton: I pretty have an opposite opinion about this, but thats more offtopic [19:04] !info xubuntu-desktop [19:04] xubuntu-desktop (source: xubuntu-meta): Xubuntu desktop system. In component universe, is optional. Version 2.75 (intrepid), package size 15 kB, installed size 44 kB [19:04] hwilde: thank you but i read this before. anyways i cant get my card wifi card to work. i tried installing the b43-fwcutter manually because i have no internet connection in that pc but anyways i cant get it to work. my card is the asus wl-138g and i am using intrepid 64 bit [19:04] Tetracomm, windows for example with the right drivers can shutoff one of your dual-cores to save power, or turn off harddrives, or network adapters, or restrict the video card. that might save power. but Linux with the right drivers could do the same, or better. depends on hardware + drivers + os tuning [19:04] albuntu, buy a supported card and save yourself the headache :/ [19:04] q! [19:04] Thank you. [19:05] Could you recommend some power saving software for Ubuntu? [19:05] hwilde: that maybe be the solution but i just wanted to solve this for now. and the problem is that i cant go near the router because its a desktop [19:05] Tetracomm: powertop would be a good start, if you have an intel based CPU [19:05] Tetracomm, System -> Preferences -> Power Management. And you need the right drivers for your hardware. are you experiencing less battery life ? [19:05] No, it is a desktop. [19:05] :) [19:06] albuntu, ifconfig -a does not show your device? [19:06] hwilde, the response you gave to albuntu was not good. He is here for help. [19:06] Has anyone discovered a solution to the "could not lock the device error" you get when trying to access a usb camera? [19:06] hwilde: lspci shows it. ifconfig doesnt [19:06] faryshta, ^ sounds like not a supported card. [19:07] Hey, is there anybody in here there know how "mount" or "fstab" works?, got the problem that everytime i mount my ext hdd (a partition, on same hdd as /) it mounts without write access [19:07] how can i hide joins/parts in xchat?

Installation instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountingWindowsPartitions [19:08] hmm..that wasn't the one I was looking for.. =/ [19:08] riz_: no problem [19:08] If I make a symlink ~/Music to /media/USB/Music, then delete ~/Music by accident, will all my USB music stuff be deleted too? Or just the symlink [19:08] now it is ext3, so it should work... i both made a new partition and formatted a usb key to ext3, with both gparted and fdisk [19:08] lifestream, just the symlink. music will still be in /media/USB/Music [19:08] lifestream: I think that depends on how you do the deleting..

[19:09] lifestream: be carefil with recursive deleting [19:09] hwilde, Shaan7 thanks :D erUSUL Slart I mean, like going in thunar or nautilus, and right click -> Delete [19:09] gnuts: you should not need any particaular fstab entrys. It should mount like any regular usb drive. Then you can use gtkpod to add songs. It's a bit flaky and it does not officially suport 4g, but the basic functionality is present. [19:09] hwilde: what about ndiswrapper ? can you give me instructions on that [19:10] anybody how know what could have gone wrong? [19:10] lifestream: not really sure.. I think just the symlink will be deleted.. but you might want to experiment first with a test folder [19:10] Cluny: See your messages again, as usual [19:10] Dyresen: thanks you, in 8.04 everything worked great, but since upgrade it doesn't auto mount, it does show up with 'lsusb' [19:10] lifestream: that'll be fine, but as Slart said, experiment !! [19:10] generic question. If I make a LiveUsbPendrivePersistent aka install Ubuntu on a USB. Then I can use that usb to install Ubuntu on other computers? [19:10] is the 7.04 ps3 version supported in here? [19:10] Slart, the thought just came to me, I'll do the test first ^_~ Thanks [19:10] Q: am i able to do a system restore in ubuntu intrepid?

I had it working in ubuntu 8.04, and then upgraded to 8.10. How can I get my bluetooth module working again? [19:11] stowawaybanjo: I don't think there is a "installed by default" system restore feature in ubuntu.. there might be some ways to make your own though [19:11] In virtualbox.

There's a bunch but that one comes to mind [19:13] cmo: Any newer versions for PS3 than 7.04? Maybe you should considering on an update [19:13] lifestream: good [19:14] msshams, there isn't a onenote equivalent that I now off. the best bet for you will be to get crossover or wine and install ms office [19:14] hi guys [19:14] of [19:14] hi [19:14] !ndiswrapper > albuntu [19:14] albuntu, please see my private message === neversfelde_ is now known as neversfelde [19:14] how can i update amsn on ubuntu [19:14] albuntu, you've been asking the same question for quite a while hav eyou tried posting something on the forums?

[19:21] n8tuser: its hard to test cause it accepts no input from keyboard or anything [19:21] Ultrahex-> which os? and version? [19:21] cmo: You are welcome and good luck! [19:21] n8tuser: 8.10 Ubuntu Desktop [19:21] Ultrahex-> a new install? [19:21] MIK1: and by the way, i didn't need to install any drivers, wireless on my ubuntu works fine without any extra step [19:21] n8tuser: clean install yes [19:21] does ubuntu 8.10 have wifi support? [19:21] Thank you. [19:22] !wifi [19:22] Ultrahex-> liveCd work when you tested it? [19:22] Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [19:22] n8tuser: no live CD failed miserably [19:22] MIK1-> yes [19:22] how can i get ubuntu to detect my sansa e260 media player? Ubuntu doesn't autodetect. [19:22] thanks [19:22] hwilde, It goes normaly to left but when i try to go to right it starts clicling everything on my screen. [19:22] Ultrahex-> which cd are you using to install or which method are you using? [19:22] n8tuser: i used alternate install method (text based) [19:23] zimbres, what manufacturer ? [19:24] Ultrahex-> what indicators you had noticed that your install is complete and finished? [19:24] what is the relation of Linux to Unix? [19:24] n8tuser: it installed properly, it ran all the way through installed ejected cd and hit enter to restart [19:24] Does anybody have experience with a sansa media player not being autodetected on ubuntu 8.04? [19:24] hwilde, i cannot remember, it is not written here. [19:25] Have you tried to fond it with fdisk -l? [19:25] Ultrahex-> are you using this now while you chat with me? [19:25] sry, i mean find [19:25] n8tuser: precisely === mgallagh_ is now known as mattva01 [19:25] no, let me try. haven't learned command prompt yet [19:25] Dominik1, practically none, the codebase was written from scratch. they share almost no common code [19:25] Dominik1: linux is a copy of unix only free [19:25] Ultrahex-> so where is the problem? if you are able to chat with me, how were you able to log on? [19:26] wow, way to give two opposite awnsers :P [19:26] unix used to be expensive [19:26] n8tuser: safe mode + root user login + irssi [19:26] C0p3rn1c, not at all. Linux was written from 0. BSD is a copy of Unix only free but Linux started as a clon. [19:26] usser: I heard linux spawned from mimix === chairat is now known as yyyooo [19:26] mike_mmm: You have to do this with "sudo" [19:26] dumb question, if you set a root password , is there anyway to clear it so you can access single user mode without a password again? [19:26] Dominik1, yes it was inspired by minix which wasnt exactly a unix itself. [19:26] Ultrahex-> have you looked at the contents of /etc/X11/xorg.conf ? which video card do you have? and what resolution are you running at? === Zyark is now known as Zyark|b [19:27] n8tuser: ati radeon 9600 and i have forgot to check my xorg.conf hmmmm === yyyooo is now known as chairat [19:27] Dominik1: it was only inspired, architecturally they are totally different. [19:27] Ultrahex-> and now, can you also crtrl+alt+F1 to F6 and get a prompt? [19:28] does anybody have any experience with the ATI mobility Radeon 9100 agp?

[19:28] Hey guy I just installed ubuntu server, and now it booted to a "grub" screen [19:28] how can I start the kernel? [19:28] n8tuser: i will come back in a second after reading through my Xorg.conf [19:28] usser, madrazr: http://blogs.zdnet.com/Murphy/?p=455%22%20rel=%22bookmark%22%20title=%22Permalink what do you then say about this article, it basically argues that they are the same [19:29] I've never installed the server before...I don't know if this is supposed to happen... [19:29] ok another question, since im using the restore session after reboot, i would like to exclude conky, is there any possibility? [19:29] Eugen, the server edition only shows a console. [19:29] Hi [19:30] if you want to start a graphic sesion you can install Gnome, XFCE or KDE. [19:30] faryshta..I now but mine is only showing the "grub" console... [19:30] should'nt it be the terminal.... [19:30] usser, madrazr: http://opensolaris.org/os/article/2005-10-14_a_comparison_of_solaris__linux__and_freebsd_kernels/ that article claims that the internals are very much alike [19:30] faryshta: They did specify grub and not console [19:30] shaan dv6226us is the model # [19:30] Dominik1: internals are not alike. It looks so outside [19:30] Eugen, genii sorry my bad. [19:30] thats fine.. [19:31] well what can I do? [19:31] Eugen: Yes it should be bash terminal or so. Did you install the boot loader? [19:31] I'm assuming I need to start the kernel..some hou [19:31] MIK1: just turn wireless device on and give it some time, the list of networks will appear when you click on the Network Manager icon [19:31] n8tuser: so i checked my xorg.conf it seems to be the standard default no settings empty xorg.conf [19:31] Dominik1: AFAIK Linux was not written by looking at the Unix's code. It was just written in its own way looking at how UNIX looks from outside [19:31] I didn't install anything...I just finished installing from the cd.. [19:31] does anybody have any experience with the ATI mobility Radeon 9100 igp? [19:31] how do I install the boot loader... [19:31] Eugen: the install routine does it [19:32] madrazr: Ok, let me get this short: Linus was learning Minix from Andrew Tannenbaum, her decided to check on the multitasking cvapailities on the 386 CPU, he started on writing his own kernel... No code from Minix was used... End of story. [19:32] Ultrahex-> can you paste that? i dont recall if you can have multiple tty console in safe mode..what happens when you ctrl+alt+f3 ? [19:32] teahupoo, try watching the driver manager on Menu->System->Hardware Drivers [19:32] hi. Since upgrade to Ibex, I can't play flash videos in firefox.. When i go to macromedia's site and test flash it tells me that I have 10,0,12,36 installed. One site, for example, that doesn't work is comedycentral.com. [19:32] well...I guess it didn't since im' at the grub screen right? [19:32] n8tuser: blinking cursor [19:32] Eugen: your at the grub screen ? [19:32] yes [19:32] Eugen: your at the grub boot menu ? [19:32] Eugen: The installer should have asked something like: Install GRUB to MBR of first hard drive? to which you would have entered "Yes" or so [19:32] no..just grub console...i meant [19:33] Ultrahex-> on all f1 to f6 ? [19:33] Dominik1: norbert79 ^ ^ [19:33] n8tuser: f1 is this... the rest are all blinking cursor [19:33] I am having a problem similar to this. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/293590/ [19:33] genii: I don't recall that...but I'm assuming I cliked yes.. [19:34] is there anything I can do now to fix this? or will I have to just go through the setup again... [19:34] Ultrahex-> can you paste that xorg.conf and also include /etc/gdm/gdm.conf or gdm-custom* [19:34] Eugen sounds to me like you chose the wrong options for grub [19:34] Eugen: is this your primary disk ? [19:34] yes [19:34] Hi, anyone here used gnome2-globalmenu? [19:34] Eugen how many other disks in the system ? [19:34] n8tuser: will do and come back [19:34] is seamonkey compatible with firefox plugins? [19:34] Shaan7: The light remains red and I cannot connect or see any wireless networks...thanks for your help [19:35] Dominik1: Yes [19:35] I'm on intrepid x86_64, everything compiled fine, it seems to work, but firefox, pidgin, xchat, and almost anything else except nautilus doesn't start [19:35] I have the Dell Poweredge 2650....which has 5 Raided hd [19:35] here's the error I get:/usr/lib/firefox-3.0.3/firefox: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/gtk-2.0/modules/libglobalmenu-gnome.so: undefined symbol: g_markup_document_construct [19:35] Eugen ahhh interesting [19:35] but I've put them all in one container.. [19:35] so ubuntu just recognized them all as one partition.. [19:35] mini-man, have you installed gtk2 and firefox from the repositories ? [19:35] Eugen: raid 5 ? [19:35] joaopinto: yes [19:36] is seamonkey sufficiently different from ff3 that I might see an improvement in performace? or am I wasting my time? [19:36] mini-man, you mentioned "compiled fine" [19:36] !seamonkey [19:36] Seamonkey, formerly known as "Mozilla Application Suite", is available at http://www.mozilla.org/projects/seamonkey/ with install instructions for ubuntu at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=186011 [19:36] joaopinto: yes, I had to compile globalmenu and vala [19:36] !seamonkey | Dominik1 [19:36] Dominik1: please see above [19:36] Hi! I have a laptop that had Ubuntu 8.04 installed, and I tried installing 8.10 on a separate partition. When I was satisfied it worked, I tried upgrading the 8.04 install. So now I have xserver problems("(EE) no device detected") and have to start in lowres.... I have a Raedon 9600. can I somehow import the settings from the 8.10 that works into the other one? Thanks! [19:36] no..I meant just 5 hardisks... [19:37] mini-man, /usr/lib/gtk-2.0/modules/libglobalmenu-gnome.so is a result of your compile [19:37] mini-man, so basically, you broke your gtk2 :P [19:37] joaopinto: X_x [19:37] ап [19:37] hi [19:37] Eugen but they are not raided at all [19:37] joaopinto: well menus do work... and if I uncomment the line in my .gtkrc and logoff and on, everything is normal [19:38] joaopinto: by menus working, I mean nautilus menus, since that seems to be the only application that works.. [19:38] yes...correct not raided...I apologize [19:38] joaopinto: I followed the instructions here, http://ayozone.org/2008/11/10/how-to-install-globalmenu-06-on-ubuntu-intrepid/ [19:38] hey! ive this verry verry old laptop with only printerport... i connected the printerport eith a n usbport from my laptop ... but the old laptop wont showup in my network... why is this? [19:38] so seamonkey is nothing but FF3 and Thunderbird combined into one app? [19:38] mini-man, I am not familiar with global menu, but I guess that if you rm /usr/lib/gtk-2.0/modules/libglobalmenu-gnome.so , everything should work [19:38] Eugen: ok, so how much do you understand grub ? [19:39] I don't... [19:39] joaopinto: wouldn't that break globalmenu then? o.0 [19:39] hi. Since upgrade to Ibex, I can't play flash videos in firefox.. When i go to macromedia's site and test flash it tells me that I have 10,0,12,36 installed. One site, for example, that doesn't work is comedycentral.com. \ [19:39] the only command I know is "help" [19:39] evan_: are you trying to do networking over the parallel port? [19:39] !plip [19:39] Sorry, I don't know anything about plip [19:39] evan_: Because you need special configurations on making a pc appear not through ordinary Ethernet [19:39] Hm [19:39] I started the setup process again..just to see if I missed something like you mentined before.. [19:39] there is a protocol called 'plip' that does that, but i suspect you'll have to configure it by hand [19:40] I have a problem, my caps-lock is still caps-lock even when xev says it's ctrl. What could be wrong, i'm using PekWM as a WM [19:40] Eugen: ok, is your install on 1 disk ? [19:40] yes [19:40] Jasperw: , norbert79 do you know terms for google? [19:40] i don't think the setup process will do plip. [19:40] Eugen: do you have a seperate /boot partition [19:40] just 'plip' [19:40] Jasperw: Actually all it needs is module plip and then interface plip0 becomes available. You also need a laplink cord or so, however [19:40] evan_: And may we know why you are still here, if you are such a good Googler? [19:41] http://tldp.org/HOWTO/PLIP.html [19:41] MIK1: does wireless never work since the time you installed ubuntu? [19:41] norbert79: bcus i didnt know where to google for...

I plugged it in and hardy installed the printer drivers (not tested that out yet). But what can I do about the scanner? The model is epson cx5800f. right now i just boot into windows which is annoying. thanks [19:45] i'm restarting the servever...takes a while... [19:45] hmm, and that howto is from 1998, you'll need to know what your doing to translate the instrucytions it gives to work with a modern distro. [19:45] Ultrahex-> did you say your xorg.conf is empty? [19:45] n8tuser: its not empty, its pretty much default just saying "default monitor" etc.. [19:45] soundray, http://paste.ubuntu.com/72008/ [19:45] Ultrahex-> without me seeing the contents its difficult to troubleshoot..find a way to paste it [19:45] uploading files using scp on a local network is slow (50kB/s) [19:46] no, 40 [19:46] is there any new config in intrepid ?

[19:48] ok..i'm at the grub shell now [19:48] soundray, that's what I have been doing [19:48] Eugen: you don't hav a seperate /boot partition ? [19:48] evan_: parallel extra stick on part? Are you sure your not confusing a 25pin serial connector with a 25pin parallel connector [19:48] I don't know...unless i was created during the install... [19:48] it* [19:48] they look the same but don't have the same wireing [19:48] kesi: okay, one more thing then. Do a 'sudo rm /var/cache/flashplugin-nonfree/install_flash_player_10_linux.tar.gz', then repeat the --reinstall command from above [19:48] you can damage your hardware by connecting them [19:49] Eugen did you not layout the disk ? [19:49] is the parrel extra stick on part 9 pin -> 25 pin? [19:49] bonjour :) [19:49] Re [19:49] Could somebody help me install C++ IDE and entire C++ programming tools in ubuntu Hardy?

'locate libflashplayer.so' should not return any more hits. Don't rm the .tar.gz -- then you don't have to re-download it again [20:09] redheat: I susggest you take it to windows and find out if this is common/what could have happened it, and pay attention to hwilde's comment [20:09] and when I restarted teh computer I couldn't login at all, I mean all the entries are visible under vista bootloader [20:09] Ultrahex-> perhaps you have to google for your ati video card and ubuntu fix [20:09] redheat: I suggest taking it to ##windows [20:10] and now no matter what I do I can't login, I used gpart see what happened and it reportedt the whole drive with all of my five operating systems as "unallocated space" [20:10] redheat: I suggest taking it to ##windows [20:10] yet they all are there I'm sure of that [20:10] soundray, you're right..

[20:11] thank you folks [20:12] soundray, right.. now when I do a sudo updatedb followed by a locate libflashplayer.so I don't come up with anything. should I try installing again? [20:12] Cluber: I suspect so but someone else may know for certain [20:12] kesi: the operation has of course already been successful in that the version 9 plugin is gone -- I would have thought that this would have fixed it. [20:12] kesi: yes, that's what I would try [20:12] System -> Preferences -> Sessions, Startup programs tab, is this the order in which they are executed.

I think I've messed up the Compiz settings, so each time I log in I automatically get logged out (now I've logged in via terminal) [20:25] if logged in as another user, is it possible to run GUI programs as a different user?

I'm out of ideas [20:26] lenswipe, can you summarize in one line [20:26] PeskyJ: you can do this easily via ssh -- just do a 'ssh -X otheruser@localhost' [20:26] soundray, the .mozilla folder in my prof? [20:27] block/sector error = hard disk/cd reading/writing problem. [20:27] obert: there's always truecrypt.. supposed to be easy to run on both linux/windows [20:27] hwilde: i cant install ubuntu or CentOS on this machine, ive tried different Hard Drives one of them brand new out of the shop, anyone have any ideas??? [20:27] PeskyJ: it should also work if you start an otheruser shell with 'sudo su - otheruser' [20:27] kesi: in your $HOME [20:27] lenswipe, check the cables? [20:27] lenswipe, does the livecd boot up [20:28] hwilde: it just freezes [20:28] Does anyone know how to get multiple (or should I say virtual) screens in ubuntu-studio it seems there is only one, (first time ever in a linux distro I used) and I cant find no option to change that, someone? [20:28] lenswipe, in the grub hit the F# option for extra options [20:28] soundray: I normally start a terminal, then do su otheruser, type their password, then try to run the program, is that any different? [20:28] Dr_willis: well, if i use ubuntu server install it says something about error with sector and an error with a block [20:28] lenswipe, at the end, take off splash and quiet, add acpi=off routeirq pollirq [20:28] glase-noise, it would depend on yoru video card to some degree also. [20:28] soundray, hmm...that worked.. what does that mean? [20:29] n8tuser: ok ... so i looked up video card and fixed issue ... now it gets a bit farther then freezes :P [20:29] hwilde: yeh then what? [20:29] PeskyJ: only in that you get a different environment when you do a 'su - otheruser', so it's worth trying with the dash [20:29] hwilde: can we take this to private mesage please... [20:29] hwilde: thanks :) [20:29] kesi: it means that the problem, whatever it is, is in your personal firefox configuration [20:30] t [20:30] soundray: ahh, I see :) [20:30] soundray, so can I move the plugins and extensions back? [20:30] kesi: you could leave it as it is -- you'll just have to reconfigure all your firefox preferences etc [20:30] Dr_willis, nvidia 8400, it shouldn be a problem. [20:30] kesi: yes, except that you may at some point recreate the problem if you do this noncritically [20:31] glase-noise, i enable twinview and use the nvidia-settings tool and nvidia-xconfig tool to set up my multi-monitors [20:31] soundray, ok.. thanks for the help [20:31] hey ikonia...still there? [20:32] Dr_willis, a ok, well uhm sorry I mean not different monitors but just have 4 desktops(just simple I know, but I am not very familiar to ubuntu0 [20:32] hi i got probs wth sound in lich king....

I guees it would work with some configuration in wine or wow [20:33] soundray: that doesn't work out of the bag [20:33] you mean box [20:33] After upgrading to Ibex I unable to connect to my Win2k8 Server via rdesktop. Well it connects but wont allow me to login. Anyone else experience this? [20:33] PeskyJ: okay -- does the ssh -X method work? [20:33] Eugen: you called [20:34] glase-noise, If you mean the virtual-desktops in the little 'pager' thing. if ysing compiz You must use the CCSM tool or the ccsm simple tool. to confioguire thje # of deskops. Or if NOT using compiz, ypu just right click on the Pager and set them it its preferances [20:34] soundray: sshd not installed/running [20:34] Or is there an alternative to rdesktop? [20:34] hey..well I went through with the installation again, and it still took me back to the gurb console.. [20:34] Eugen: as I suspected [20:34] Lamo, vnc is handy. [20:34] Eugen: are you using lvm ? [20:34] hi.i have installed realplayer 11 in intrepid but everytime i try to play a .rmvb movie in it it crashes anyone has any ideas [20:34] yes [20:34] Eugen: there is the problem [20:34] how about is there a way of sending an already running program on one display to a different display? so I'm logged in twice and instead of switching users all th etime, just send the program I'm using to the other user's desktop? [20:34] PeskyJ: it's worth installing... [20:34] Eugen: I suspect lvm is controlling /boot which wont work [20:34] lol...I thought lvm would be better [20:34] ksin.net [20:34] Eugen: you have to know how to lay lvm out [20:35] ugh...Ok..so just tell me what to do.... [20:35] soundray: yeah.. I will do, I'm just new to X so trying to figure out how it works and what you can do with it :) [20:35] PeskyJ: not easily, but you can switch easily with Ctrl-Alt-F9/F7 [20:35] everything I've done so far has been wrong.. [20:35] Dr_willis, sorry I can find no pager, thatś the problem [20:35] Eugen: reinstall, and either don't use lvm, or layout lvm with a seperate /boot partition [20:35] soundray: ahh that's useful [20:36] buy "don't use LVM," you mean just use "Guided - entire disk"? [20:36] hi ppl, i just buyed an SDcard...i just plugged it and...should happen something? should ubuntu mount it like an usb pen? [20:36] Dr_willis, Do you mean desktop, in that it doesn show up options. [20:36] Eugen: whatever you want, as long as you don't enable lvm [20:36] Murphy: not if it doesn't have a file sytem on [20:36] Did they take away the "Search this Thread" feature on Ubuntu Forums?? [20:36] ok...i'll do that ...although I had that last time and it still took me to the grub console.. [20:37] It used to be under "Thread Tools". [20:37] My root filesystem ran full while I was updating. Now apt is wedged. How can I recover? http://paste.ubuntu.com/72036/ [20:37] ? my usb is mounted in automatic...and SD? [20:37] Murphy: a sdhc hard in a old reader that doesnt go over 2GB?

[20:38] soho_: yup, you can remove them in synaptic if you want to === ogra_ is now known as ogra [20:38] slart:how do i do tht [20:38] soho_: it might be wise to at least save one older kernel [20:39] I have openssh-server (etc) all installed, and I can SSH to Localhost, just not from outside...I CAN ssh from this machine to another, just not into this machine from another...NMAP produces closed on 22 [20:39] Slart how come? [20:39] so what i've to do? [20:39] Murphy: i guess that works. the eeepc 700 works fine with 8gb. did you look at the output of the "dmesg" command? [20:39] I need a better guide than https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories/Personal. Anyone with a link? [20:39] sap1: open a terminal, applications, accessories, terminal.. then run the player from there [20:39] soho_: in case you get a problem with the current kernel and somehow can't boot [20:39] i had not any output when i insert it.. [20:39] oh okay [20:39] i done the # thing in etc/fstab [20:40] slart keep the old kernels, does it take up a lot of space? [20:40] commenting the dev/sdb cd rom [20:40] Slart: the player opens the problem happens when i open a .rmvb file wih the player it just closes [20:40] Pooki1: poke your ISP. and in the menatime. run ssh on a random port, like 12345 [20:40] Hi jimcooncat... What's the problem with that guide? [20:40] soho_: not really.. you can see how much space they use in synaptic.. I'm guessing below 10MB each or something for each kernel [20:41] soundray: it doesn't tell me how to sign my packages. [20:41] sap1: how do you start the player? [20:41] Dr_willis, are you still there, I don use compiz, isn there some simple option somewhere to set that up? [20:41] how do i check in synaptic slart? [20:41] Pookil: you may want to run ssh on a non-standard port anyway -- keeps down the brute force attacks [20:42] soho_: start synaptic and click "installed" in the left column.. then find the kernels.. they are called linux-image-bla bla bla [20:42] I just downloaded GoogleEarthLinux.bin - Not sure what file type this is, or if it's installer or executable or what... but I tried setting execute permission on it and either way gnome just complains that it doesn't know what to do with files of type .bin [20:43] zsquareplusc: what i should look for in the dmesg output?

[21:10] i tried but it gives this error for mp3s [21:10] You may manually convert these audio files to wave using another application supporting the audio format and then add the wave files to the K3b project.

[21:17] Stargazer: Okay... do you mean rip from cd and encode, encode from one format to another, or take encoded files and burn them? [21:17] M1nds1llus1on, take a file from one format to another format or lower the quality for space. === OxDeadC0de is now known as OxDeadC0de_ [21:19] Stargazer: That's a difficult one....

Gpartd can do lots of partiion tasks, resize without loseing data and so forth... [21:20] emilien: yes, in some cases. gparted can do that [21:20] emilien: i think its possible but not stable and not recommended its also depending on how much free space there is on the drive, did it in partion magic once and finally the disk crashed [21:20] can anyone give me a hand? with this font issue?

[21:23] thanks soundray [21:24] It does it sequentially.... the script would need to be changed depending on the input file types to use the correct decoder [21:24] it only happens on some flash videos though [21:24] brb, I'll submit a bug [21:24] Dr_willis, i think might just delete , as if it does crash my hd like kri sead , would not be good =( === ubuntu_ is now known as Anqu [21:25] Hi, I can' t boot into windows or linux ( I am typing from a livecd now).

You have to get rid of your ridiculous hate of the command line, though. [21:36] tiredbones: ok. I have sound. This is just flash though. Do you have sound in other flash applications? Like badgerbadgerbadger.com?

I have the same problem on my Everex gPC but it's a bug in the BIOS. [21:37] When compiling, is it possible to set an env variable (CC is it?) that'll specify to the program which compiler to use? [21:37] bluefoxx: Interesting... I know you can change the password in your gnome-keyring settings [21:37] grrr [21:37] soundray: why this wont work that i entered in terminal- reset gnome panels [21:37] ryanakca: that's usually respected. Check ./configure --help [21:37] ryanakca, try #gcc [21:37] i ran the command "du -ch" on a folder and it told me the folder is a total of 142MB, but when I right click and view folder properties in nautilus, it tells me the size is 72.5MB. This is a huge difference? which one do I trust? seems like a bug somewher [21:37] uffo: you have to use the command that ubottu gave you [21:37] hello everybody. can't get vim to syntax highlight my source code. I have vim-full installed + 'set nocompatible' in .vimrc. What might be the problem? [21:37] It seems to only see one of the chips itseems [21:38] !resetpanel | uffo [21:38] uffo: To reset the panel to defaults, type this in a !terminal: « gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel » [21:38] jrib: I'm trying to compile wireless drivers with airmon-ng [21:38] tux91: :set syntax=on [21:38] jrib, I don't have sw installed that uses flash. [21:38] peepsalot: tried hitting reload in nautilus? [21:38] tiredbones: ah. Install flashplugin-nonfree [21:38] I'm repackaging monit, and need to bump up the version so apt-get will get my custom package instead of hardy's version "1:4.8.1-2.1" . So what do I change it to? [21:38] jrib, no change [21:38] tux91: :syntax on [21:38] ubottu: i just paste this in terminal just like that: gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel [21:38] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [21:39] zsquareplusc: jrib: doesn't work [21:39] jimcooncat, any number that is bigger [21:39] how can I count files recursively in a directory from command line? [21:39] uffo: yes [21:39] tux91: we said different things. Did you try both? [21:39] jrib, do i use synaptic to install? [21:39] jrib: yes [21:39] m1nds1llus1on; where is that? [21:39] so there is no svn for x264? [21:39] tux91: maybe it isnt recognising your file's format [21:39] zsquareplusc: it's a .py file, it did in arch linux [21:40] bluefoxx: Applications > Accessories > Passwords and Encryption Keys [21:40] slayton: I'm so unfamiliar with this - "1:4.8.1-5.0" would work? [21:40] bluefoxx: Should be in the Preferences [21:40] tux91: paste the output of: vim --version | grep syntax [21:40] tiredbones: sure [21:40] I have a problem, currently when i boot up normally (in non-recovery mode) i get a black screen... however x and gdm start properly from recovery mode [21:40] jimcooncat, if your not familiar with this kind of stuff why don't you just install from source rather then trying to maintain a deb [21:40] is there up to date vlc package for hardy? [21:40] i see nothing... [21:40] found it [21:40] jrib: -sniff +statusline -sun_workshop +syntax +tag_binary +tag_old_static [21:41] tux91: should work then [21:41] jimcooncat, also you'll find more help in #ubuntu-motu when it comes to packaging questions [21:41] ok, i removed the ooo repository, and then tried to re-install OOo using add/remove. It wants a gutsy CD?!?! I don't have one! [21:41] tux91: and :set syntax=python ? [21:41] tux91: is your filetype set? [21:41] jrib: it is [21:41] slayton: thanks [21:41] amriedle: when do you get the black screen? Is it after the Ubuntu splash screen or immediately after grub? [21:41] :set filetype=py [21:41] clooluss, open synaptic, then edit the sources and uncheck the cd [21:41] tux91: hm. i usually install vim-python and have no problems [21:41] clooluss, then run an update and then try to install it [21:41] m1nds1llus1on: after splash screen [21:42] zsquareplusc: what does it do? [21:42] hello [21:42] all [21:42] pm me pls? [21:42] Is anyone here good with creating themes? If so, I have a couple questions [21:42] In Gnome GTK, sorry [21:42] amriedle: Fresh install or upgrade? Have you installed the nvidia or ati drivers? [21:42] tux91: install vim full/gvim and enables python plugins. [21:42] L3Tum: art.gnome.org for the tutorial or ask a better question [21:42] is there up to date vlc package for hardy? [21:43] !info vlc [21:43] vlc (source: vlc): multimedia player and streamer. In component multiverse, is optional. Version 0.9.4-1ubuntu3 (intrepid), package size 1628 kB, installed size 3616 kB [21:43] m1nds1llus1on: i am using the latest ati drivers (due to the fact they work in 8.10 if you upgrade to proposed for 8.11), its a fresh install [21:43] !info vlc hardy [21:43] vlc (source: vlc): multimedia player and streamer.

Anyone else having issues? [21:43] zsquareplusc: ok it works in gvim, but not in regular vim [21:44] soundray: in 9.04 [21:44] i am looking for vlc 0.9. serie for hardy [21:44] uffo: you can file a wishlist bug on launchpad === nick_ is now known as sunapi385 [21:44] !bugs > uffo [21:44] uffo, please see my private message [21:44] amriedle: I'm afraid I'm not familiar with the ATI drivers, I'd say you have a problem in your xorg.conf and you should probably try rebuilding the file. [21:44] tux91: so your vim thinks you have a dumb terminal. try echo $TERM [21:44] icqnumber: it hasn't been backported to hardy yet [21:44] OK, now downloading 44 meg of openoffice 2.X . Great. I wanted 3.0 for the ability to read .docx files - is there another way to read them in older versionso of OOo? [21:44] tux91, there is a vim support channel u know [21:44] nathan42100: I have lately 8.04 with all the updates-- firefox has locked up even more-- have to force quit at least 2 times a night.. and it has closed once today just opening a link [21:44] tux91: or :set term within vim [21:44] soundray, are there unsupported packages? [21:44] m1nds1llus1on: if there was a problem with xorg.conf wouldn't i not be able to get into X and GDM fine ? [21:45] hello all pm me pls?/ [21:45] icqnumber: I don't know [21:45] !ask | komila [21:45] komila: 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. :-) [21:45] hwilde: well, it works everywhere except ubuntu [21:45] amriedle, it would failover to a generic one [21:45] soundray, from the ppa vlc members [21:45] tux91, i know, my pageup and pagedown keys are helplessly broken. [21:45] 1400 PMs? that are a lot of tabs you want to have.. lol [21:45] nathan42100: what version of ubuntu and firefox? [21:45] redvamp128, its not crashing, but my bookmarks don't show, Home page doesn't load, etc [21:45] try creating a new profile [21:45] hwilde: correct, but that one works given that in recovery mode i am able to boot into both x and gdm but in non-recovery mode it crashes... :/ [21:46] redvamp128, 8.10 ubuntu, 3.0.3 firefox [21:46] amriedle, so just blow out hte xorg.conf and use the failsafe [21:46] zsquareplusc: i don't think the problem is in terminal, line numbers are colored [21:46] nathan42100: I also test in a side by side install --- the nightlies [21:46] tux91, M-x global-font-lock [21:46] tux91: then try a different coloscheme [21:46] let me find the page to create a new profile [21:46] redvamp128, then I lose my bookmarks [21:46] can't change it, still locks me out. this is retarded, why not just your login password for everything? than you don't have a retarded keyring screwing you over left and right [21:46] hwilde: i had an idea... ill try it and get back if it works/doesn't work [21:46] amriedle: Good point... I'm honestly not sure on this one... I'd probably need to actually sit down with the system to figure it out. How did you install the ATI driver? [21:47] jrib: If the answer is in there I apologize. My first question is, is there a way to make only a section of the menubar stretch to the width of the menu items? Like if I were to make an image that would place the menu in its own "bubble", could I make this stretch with different programs? As some only have maybe 3 menu items while others may have more? [21:47] zsquareplusc: i hate non-vanilla packages( [21:47] !sudo | bluefoxx [21:47] bluefoxx: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (Gnome), or !kdesu (KDE) [21:47] !root | bluefoxx [21:47] bluefoxx: 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 [21:47] i know that [21:47] jrib: I couldn't find what I'm looking for in the tutorials [21:47] m1nds1llus1on: i personally compiled it manually and it is detecting fine and running properly on Xorg hmm [21:47] i'm talking about the dammed keyring not letting me do anything [21:47] !offtopic | bluefoxx [21:47] bluefoxx: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [21:47] nathan42100: try this link http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_Manager [21:48] L3Tum: you need to ask the specific question to the channel. I don't know much about it. But you are probably better off asking this question on a gnome channel on GIMPNet as it's not really an ubuntu question [21:48] amriedle: Have you considered trying to install it with EnvyNG instead? perhaps there was a problem with the manual compile. [21:48] you won't loose them if you before you create a new one [21:48] how am i off topic? all i'm after is a way to disable the keyring or make it work. as it is i can't do anything because it keeps locking me out. [21:48] amriedle: A very very strange fluky problem.... [21:48] export them then import them [21:48] bluefoxx: please stop swearing. You need to log into failsafe mode and delete your keyring directory: 'rm -r ./.gnome2/keyrings' [21:48] jrib: I'll do that, thanks [21:48] m1nds1llus1on: im thinking it may be compiz is some reason enabled so i removed it and we will see what happens [21:48] whats the binding control panel again? [21:48] entering nothing does exactly that, entering any of the passwords for the machine do nothing [21:48] gnome here [21:48] bluefoxx, what exactly are you trying to do [21:49] its like gedit-something [21:49] its aggravating [21:49] bluefoxx: hello, do you read me? [21:49] all i want to do is setup an adhoc connection [21:49] soundray; i will try that [21:49] amriedle: Compiz shouldn't be the problem.... it doesn't load til after login.... if you're blankscreening before login I doubt that is the problem [21:49] bluefoxx, System -> Admin -> Network === Expect_ is now known as Expect [21:49] bluefoxx: not all wireless drivers support adhoc [21:49] bluefoxx, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Adhoc [21:50] i did that. when i try to setup the connection it locks me out with the keyring [21:50] meh [21:50] my old profile doesn't work [21:50] a new one does though [21:50] the wifi cards are old enough they seem to work fine out of the box, so to speak. all i'm after is setting up this adhoc connection to test the wifi on another laptop i stuck linux on... [21:51] nathan42100: go into your old profile and export them-- then go into the new and import them [21:51] I have to do that when I compile and install the nightly [21:51] jrib, i did the install and try to listen to screencast. still no sound. [21:51] gunna try that now redvamp128 [21:51] tiredbones: did you restart your browser after installing? [21:51] bluefoxx: even if they work fine as clients, it doesn't necessarily follow that they will work in adhoc mode [21:52] this one works as client [21:52] jrib, yes. [21:52] tiredbones: pastebin content of the "about:plugins" page [21:52] the other one detects networks, but wont connect, which is why i'm trying to fix it [was a machine a friend's dad commissioned me to stick hardy on] [21:52] hello can someone help to fix a new AWDR configuration? [21:52] does anyone know how i can sync a local directory with one on a remote server via ftp [21:52] bluefoxx, can't you just connect them with a lan cable ? [21:52] jrib, where do i find that? [21:52] s0ap, look at rsync [21:52] hello... i have a problem with my legacy nvidia laptop card [21:53] s0ap: why ftp? Use rsync [21:53] VastHappyDude, uh oh [21:53] tiredbones: type "about:plugins" in your address bar [21:53] no, its a laptop with no LAN. ancient satellite pro. [21:53] soundray: needs to be ftp, cuz the server will only support ftp [21:53] he wants to use a pcmcia linksys wifi card [21:54] when i use EnvyNG to install the proper driver, it loads after reboot, but my xserver.conf file gets re-written after a second reboot, and i get a black screen... what did i do wrong? [21:54] s0ap: in that case, I suggest you try to mount the remote directory with fuse. Then you can use rsync [21:54] !fuse | s0ap [21:54] s0ap: FUSE (Filesystem in Userspace) is a !kernel driver that allows non-root users to create their own filesystems. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filesystem_in_Userspace for more on FUSE. Some examples of filesystems that use FUSE are !ntfs-3g, sshfs and isofs. A full list of Filesystems that use FUSE is here: http://fuse.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php/FileSystems [21:54] ok, stupid question. how do i find out what version of ubuntu i am running? [21:54] !version | clooluss [21:54] clooluss: 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 » [21:54] VastHappyDude: dual screen (card) maybe its displaying the video on the other port of the card [21:55] The new Skype gives me a "problem with audio playback" error when I try to have voice conversations, help? [21:55] never thought of that [21:55] ill try... brb [21:55] Someone here have tried Fedora? [21:55] how can i disable the password prompt when i load certain programs?

[21:56] VastHappyDude: why? What programs? [21:56] chimp: use ; instead of ¦ [21:56] m1nds1llus1on: so .... its not the screen goes black my bad... the signal goes dead [21:56] ok, how can I join ubuntu-offtopic? [21:56] faryshta, yes i have tried [21:56] zsquareplusc: thanks [21:56] faryshta: /join #ubuntu-offtopic [21:56] hola [21:56] jrib, where would you like me to paste it to?

[21:56] envy ng... and my sytem parts [21:56] kthxbai everyone [21:57] i have this laptop i've just purchased that currently has vista on it. i'd like to do a dual boot configuration on it. it worries me because it doesn't come with any install cds, and in addition to the os partition, it apparently has a vista-restore partition. i'm worried that if i make room and install ubuntu that when it writes to mbr i wont ever be able to access the system restore partition. is that true ? [21:57] Ultrahex: Definate driver problem. Basically your card is turning off because Ubuntu isn't interfacing with it right. Or so it would seem. I'd reinstall the driver using EnvyNG if I were you. [21:57] s0ap: ah, found it [21:57] !info curlftpfs | s0ap [21:57] zsquareplusc: ahh you have me wrong, i want to pipe the 5 to sleep [21:57] s0ap: curlftpfs (source: curlftpfs): filesystem to access FTP hosts based on FUSE and cURL.

I have a Intel Mobile Core 2 Duo T5600. [21:59] zsquareplusc: ta, i wasnt sure where to look for this stuff, ill check it out [21:59] BobSapp: u can instal both version [21:59] Ultrahex: ATI's installer isn't written and tested specifically for Ubuntu, please, just try EnvyNG... the worst that will happen is it won't fix the problem. [21:59] !publisher [21:59] Sorry, I don't know anything about publisher [21:59] zsquareplusc, you are right. it does have that option. thank you so much i would have overlooked that. [21:59] BobSapp: yes, if you want to squeeze every last bit of performance out of it. No, if you want a slightly easier ride [21:59] tripitakit: cool, i got confused because it said AMD64 [21:59] anyone know of a way to read/convert publisher files in linux? [21:59] thanks [22:00] Ultrahex: If it doesn't fix the issue, Envy can undo what it did. [22:00] brb watching sarah connors chronicles [22:00] BobSapp: amd64 is what you should pick if you want to go 64bit. [22:00] one last strange question, how can I make a command after its finished running, go back and run that line of command again (ie. it loops)? [22:00] !info publisher [22:00] Package publisher does not exist in intrepid [22:00] jrib, paste to the site , but i didn't get a reference number. can you use this -- Paste from tiredbones at Fri, 14 Nov 2008 14:58:12 +0000 [22:00] deigel: 1st you pay for the OS, theny you pay for the DVDs. and then you pay for the time to burn and recover ;-) [22:00] tiredbones: just give me the url [22:00] I am trying to download cinerella but I can't find a download site? [22:00] I fond that the windows dragging in x64 ubuntu is jerky compare to 32bit [22:00] seems inkscape / scribus / ooo draw can't import them... [22:00] chimp: you should google "advanced bash scripting guide" [22:01] soundray: turns out fuse did work [22:01] bamball, that is probably related to your graphics driver, not ubuntu in general :P [22:01] Falstaf: cinelerra? [22:01] jrib: Always a good solution.... that guide has saved me many a time. [22:01] I shall read that jrib ta [22:01] http://cinelerra.org/ [22:01] soundray: thanks [22:01] is there any Mapi conector solution for ubuntu [22:01] http://paste.ubuntu.com/72065/ [22:01] http://cinelerra.org/getting_cinelerra.php#ubuntu [22:01] s0ap: how did you do it -- with curlftps? [22:01] that is how to install it in ubuntu [22:01] : u sure? because i tried this on several computers.. one with nvidia one with ATI one with intel graphics [22:02] zcat oops it is spelled cinerella ... it is a video editing program. [22:02] soundray: no with fuse [22:02] jrib, http://paste.ubuntu.com/72065/ [22:02] hmmm PCMan X BBS Client installed on my ubuntu and i duno how it got there X_X [22:02] falstaf did you see that link [22:02] bamball, I don't have such problem, ATI [22:02] s0ap: yeah -- curlftpfs uses fuse, too... Anyway, glad it works for you. Rsync as well [22:02] hi, can anyone help me? I installed Ubuntu 8.10 on a 2GB Kingston DataTraveler usb stick (from the live-cd) but when I boot with the usb stick connected, after GRUB the system doesn't boot. I have changed the boot order in the BIOS, and I know my laptop can boot from usb. [22:02] ? [22:02] : maybe 64bit drivers are not as mature..? [22:02] bamball, probably :) [22:03] tiredbones: you have an old version of flash installed along with the new one. Get rid of the old one [22:03] 64 does tend to be a bit on the undercooked side still. [22:03] Thank you matthew! [22:03] np [22:03] m1nds1llus1on: not my experience -- works very well for me since gutsy [22:03] Hello when I am installing Ubuntu with a minimal install CD, it gets to "Installing base system" and stops at "retrieving glibz1" or along the lines. Why is this and how can I fix it? [22:04] if you want cinerella a few other nice programs are kino and dvdstyler [22:04] : the funny thing is.. my 4 years old intel integrated notebook have more fluid dragging than the new ATI notebook i bought 2 wks ago.. the old comp is running 32 and new is running x64 [22:04] bushwacker, have you checked the md5sum before burning ? [22:04] bushwacker: did you run "check the CD for defects" from the CD's boot menu? [22:04] hello [22:04] joaopinto: i used the Check CD for Defects option [22:04] I upgraded from hardy to intrepid - now when using xbmc the comp hans when trying to fastforward in some movies where the sound isn't digital [22:04] soundray: Eh... it's a lot better I'll give it that, there are still quite a few odd things though. At least when I last used 64 bit edition there were... granted that was in January [22:05] is 1GB or ram enough for ubuntu desktop running apache http server ,tomcat and postgresql [22:05] shiki9: easily [22:05] shiki9: NO! [22:05] tiredbones: do you understand how to go about doing that? [22:05] shiki9: yes [22:05] shiki9 128 mb is enough for that [22:05] any ideas? [22:05] matthew: not for the desktop, no [22:05] shiki9, it depends on what you will be running on tomcat [22:05] oh the desktop needs atleast 320 mb [22:06] shiki9, I have all those in a 512mb machine right now. [22:06] shiki9: I'm a sysadmin for a web hosting company... 1GB will run that fine if you are using the server edition. NOT the desktop edition [22:06] i am using tomcat to test my apps [22:06] shiki9: although Ubuntu Server is probably best for apache web server, but that's just my opinon [22:06] opinion* [22:06] wait, I restarted it and tried again. it seems to be working [22:06] ok [22:06] funnyily enough if I google 'cinerella, the only thing remotely like a video editor in the results is 'cinelerra' so I'm pretty sure you're just spelling it wrong. [22:06] shiki9, the recommened memory for a mininmal tomcat environment is 512MBs [22:06] if you want to just use apache and not php then desktop is fine [22:07] I run apache on my desktop [22:07] I think it might be that crappy pulseaudio crap messing things up [22:07] ok [22:07] shiki9, if you want a server environment, you should not install desktop [22:07] I can't boot ubuntu from a USB stick, but I know my laptop supports it. [22:07] joaopinto: why not ??? [22:07] How do one remove the use of pulseaudio or disable it [22:07] I did 'apt-get autoremove network-manager' and now I can't bring my network back up; not even to do 'apt-get install network-manager'. :-( [22:07] joaopinto:its a development desktop system [22:07] george is there a boot option at startup ? [22:07] shiki9, it will take a significant memory for the graphical component, which you want on the server side :) [22:07] joaopinto: Using guis to control servers rock! [22:07] jrib, synaptic shows only the newer version. how do i use synaptic remove the old version? [22:08] shiki9, ah ok, for tht should be fine [22:08] ok [22:08] SOF4LNX, not really, for development desktop may rock, but not for server management [22:08] tiredbones: you probably did not install it through synaptic. Pastebin: locate libflashplayer.so [22:08] tiredbones: sudo apt-get remove? [22:08] matthew: GRUB appears normally, after that however I only get a black screen [22:08] question that i have thinked long time where files are deleted if i delete files with gksudo nautilus [22:08] shiki9: your system will run with 1GB. If you can upgrade, though, you should, just to make your life easier. [22:08] m1nds1llus1on: ok .... so i used envy same result though [22:08] or they are directly deleted [22:08] <_MichaelL_> Hmm [22:08] george when I use my live usb stick every few times it freezes for some reason [22:08] <_MichaelL_> Imali ko ziv ovde [22:08] joaopinto: why not ? .. please expand your train of thought. [22:08] ok i'll see if i get another 1GB module [22:09] Is there a way to open terminal on the folder you have open in nautilus? [22:09] thanks for the advice [22:09] if I change the boot order to first boot being usb it wont load [22:09] ziv, kako to mislish? [22:09] uffo: they go to /root/.local/share/Trash [22:09] <_MichaelL_> P` da zna srpski [22:09] <_MichaelL_> :D [22:09] it stopped at: Configuring Apt: Scanning mirror [22:09] Now I get: 'eth0: ERROR while getting interface flags: No such device' [22:09] I have to select the boot option and select usb disk [22:09] :) [22:09] why does it get farther each time I try? [22:09] idk why [22:09] hello to all [22:09] How do I remove the use of pulseaudio in Intrepid - in is the biggest bug ever made [22:10] matthew: I haven't booted successfully even once from the usb [22:10] see if there is a boot option at startup [22:10] bios boot option not the usb [22:10] SOF4LNX, because linux/unix servers can be perfectly managed from a text console, and any extra piece of software on a server expands the attack vector for security exploitation [22:10] matthew: there is "removable device" it is the first option [22:10] usually f10 [22:11] matthew: the first option in the bios, i mean [22:11] joaopinto: No, not if they are only local apps. I understand if youre thinking of web management crap [22:11] any ideas please? [22:11] bushwacker, what would be the package name that i should remove? [22:11] SOF4LNX, local apps are also exploitable in some cases [22:11] i dunno, what are you trying to remove? [22:12] idk I don't use the usb thingy anymore [22:12] :o [22:12] joaopinto: Go ahead and exploit these then :) www.gadmintools.org good luck! :) [22:12] ikonia: Ubuntu doesn't show boot logo any more, just text output. How to change? [22:12] bushwacker, an old version of flash. [22:12] matthew: my hard disk isn't working anymore so i want to use the usb until i get a new one.. anyway [22:12] soundray: but it wont show nothing in there after deletion with gksudo nautilus, i checked with gksudo nautilus and with my normal nautilus [22:13] reboot and look for a boot option [22:13] soundray: if i delete with normal account files are in trash [22:13] I just had an idea [22:13] matthew: the only boot option besides the hard disk, network, and cd-rom is "removable device" and i have set it first [22:14] <_Snoop_> hi [22:14] matthew: the usb stick is a 2GB Kingston Data Traveller, if it does matter [22:14] Anyone know if you can install on a usb disc and make change then do a disc dumb and burn that iso to dvd and use that ? [22:14] SOF4LNX, a plain server with lighttpd+mysql+php are sufficient reasons for security concern, I don't need more reasons, thanks :) [22:14] joaopinto: See my point and that semi hard knowledged users cannot out-configure what highly experienced/server/gui people can let you configure [22:14] hi [22:15] my linux mashine is behaving like a windows mashine would when the harddrive is fragmented, what could cause this problem? [22:15] uffo: if you delete a file with gksudo nautilus using the "Move to Deleted Items" option, it will be moved to /root/.local/share/Trash/files/ [22:15] <_Snoop_> I got a very basic question: In grub, if I want to boot to a a different runlevel, I just have to add a number at the end of the kernel parameter, right? [22:15] hi all, i installed sleuthkit with autopsy frontend from the ubuntu 8.04 repos.... but i only have the option to export file by file... is there a way to export all files batch mode since i've got 130GB worth of data [22:15] joaopinto: these are for eaxample made in C and GTK+ only. Theres no other server to worry about then what server it controls [22:15] Dominik1: maynbe it is running updatedb or trackerd [22:15] domink your machine sounds like it is behaving like a windows user is running it [22:16] zsquareplusc: not at the moment, trackerd is disabled for good [22:16] george try rebooting and see if there is a boot option === orudie_ is now known as orudie [22:16] SOF4LNX, I see your point, there is people which find it usefull, I do not :P [22:16] <{^KinG^}> alx@alx-b0x:~/Series/Dexter/1ra Temporada$ mp4ize Dexter\ 1x05\ Love\ American\ Style.avi [22:16] <{^KinG^}> Couldn't figure out aspect ratio.

"Updating connection failed: nm-ifupdown-connection.c.82 - connection update not supported (read-only)..." what's going on here??

[22:17] jrib, thanks for your time. [22:17] jrib: I'll take it on -- what do you think the problem is? [22:17] george_, you have to set the Kinston as 1st HDD then it should be working [22:17] SOF4LNX, we need to stop this, it's getting offtopic :) [22:18] joaopinto: Yes, but i feel you have gained new insights [22:18] soundray: he has two libflashplayer.so (9 and 10).

Something i aim to release in a while btw.

[22:27] zsquareplusc: Ah, screen resolution actually... [22:27] oh [22:27] jamman: it's Windows software. You may be able to run it in wine.

[22:34] yet I have no problems other use non-free software. [22:34] faryshta same here [22:35] tiredbones: you want to run 'sudo updatedb' again and 'locate libflashplayer.so' so you know what to remove to get rid of version 9 again. Then you do a 'sudo rm /var/cache/flashplugin-nonfree/*', then the reinstall command again. [22:35] I always try to find free alternatives [22:35] bushwacker, that usually happens when the installer is unable to contact the mirrors to check for updates [22:35] beep only works when I type sudo before it, help?

It wasn't me, sorry :( [22:36] joaopinto: Well, I've had a look at it, and it's excellent! Really top-quality stuff, streets ahead of anything else in Linux. Better quality than VB, of course; up there with Delphi! [22:36] mn8086, you mean the icon in the tool bar ? you can look in menu > system > admin > network , there might be a show icon there [22:36] bushwacker, when I had the problem in the past, I have switchted to another console with CTRL-ALT-FN [22:37] mumbles you can get hat in add remove programs you kno w [22:37] joaopinto: You've just changed how I do Linux software development. I owe you a drink! [22:37] joaopinto: in the alternate install?

[23:26] ok why is it I get betterre fresh rate on my graphics card under windows but on here I have to use a really small res to get 75htz ? I hope someone gets what I am asking about. [23:26] I have no clue [23:26] But since you're on Ubuntu-eee, you can do anything with it you can do with a normal Ubuntu system. [23:26] anyhow if you have a software installer than you can try to install Gnome or Kde or XFCE... your pick [23:26] I'm finally up to speed and have installed Gutsy, how do I resize an mpeg photo to make it emailable? [23:26] I have been using Ubuntu since 6.10 and have had minor issues (completely fixable) with each dist upgrade, but nothing like this one to 8.10 , Are any of you seeing a lot of this? Are many people just staying with 8.04 or are there fixes for all the issues? [23:27] BH he does not like the gui.. thats his problem [23:27] :| [23:27] endlessguitar: you're trying to make it like a normal desktop? [23:27] ye [23:27] install gnome if thats case [23:27] exactly [23:27] so I keep reading that Linux is supposed to be faster then windows.. vista maybe. But the point is I have had Windows XP run fine on this mashine for ages, and now all the sudden if I have one to many tabs open in mozilla or if I try to edit images in GIMP the mashine starts to seriously lag, and it behaves like it has a fragmented disk, but I realize that that concept doesn't apply to Linux, so what is wrong? Is it that I installed [23:27] endlessguitar it is a 64 bitpc you should be able to install any os on it [23:27] how I do that? [23:27] download the ubuntu disk if your lazy [23:27] http://ubuntu.pastebin.us/16286 [23:27] endlessguitar: if you can get to a terminal on there, try "sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop" without quotes, or "sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop" for a faster XFCE-based desktop [23:27] l3d: your refresh rate shouldn't matter at all if it's >=60hz if your using an lcd [23:27] ok [23:28] Anacranom-> why even upgrade? [23:28] endlessguitar: ubuntu-desktop is the normal ubuntu, but it may be too slow on an eee [23:28] Dominik1, how much RAM do you have ? [23:28] I try the commnd [23:28] endlessguitar, XFCE is very recomendable, is more stable and fast than gnome. [23:28] yeh [23:28] joapinto: 480 [23:28] Dominik1, do you have swap enabled? [23:28] or in synaptic (if its on eee edition) go ubuntu-desktop kubuntu-desktop or xubuntu-desktop ubuntu is gnome kubuntu kde and xubuntu XFCE [23:28] xfce [23:28] ok [23:28] i use gnome myself [23:28] Anacranom: 2 gigs [23:28] what will I write? [23:28] can anybody tell me how to find the location (/dev/...) of a given device?¿ pleeeeeease.. :D [23:28] endlessguitar: sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop [23:28] ok [23:28] I have a spare hdd drive, I need windows for something (that I am certain off), so I need a quick review of bootloaders, if install windows onto a seperate hdd, it's not gonna ef with my bootloader on my main drive right? [23:28] Hey all... is there still a lot of problems with 8.10 and nvidia video cards? [23:28] Dominik1, but is it enabled and in use? [23:29] coolace: what type of device? [23:29] endlessguitar: it will probably ask you for your password, and also to confirm Y or N [23:29] darn BH how fast do u type... lol i couldnt even finish typing and it was up from u lol [23:29] Dominik1, I wouldn't expect much with less 512 MBs, are you are about misinformed, Ubuntu is not just Linux, you also have Gnome which is not tha light [23:29] Anacranom: yes Htop reports it as in use (239 megs) [23:29] a hauppauge tv tunner [23:29] ops, a bit [23:29] ok Installing now [23:29] kool [23:29] then [23:29] Dominik1, I would use xubuntu for anything < 512mb [23:29] ok but why is it under windows at 1028x768 its 75htz but under ubuntu I have to use 800x600 to get that? [23:29] anyone know? [23:29] now on login screen you need to select gnome [23:29] when its done [23:29] hello can someone give me lastest flash player 9 to me (libflashplayer.so) [23:30] and this lagging really happens when I approach the end of my ram, within like 40 megs, but then it doesn't efficiently swap, it really behaves as if the disk were badly fragmented [23:30] o wait xfce my bad [23:30] Dominik1, for the longest time mine was not and was having similar issues, someone here can help,,, was tons faster for me after fixing, but that was a long time ago and i cant remember how [23:30] and it will boot into XFCE [23:30] Dominik1, if you don't have enough free physical mem, your system will be swapping, which is worse than fragmentation :P [23:30] Anacranom: fixing what? [23:31] jaopinto: so your saying windows can swap more efficiently then linux? cause I swaped under windows tooo, but it never lagged that bad [23:31] lcd ubuntu 8 04 [23:31] joaopinto: so it isn't the fault of linux, or UBUNTU, but it is GNOME's fault? [23:31] n8tuser, well, i'm not going to on my main box, but did try on this laptop,,, after a few hours trying to fix stuff, i just fresh installed 8.04 and all was good again [23:32] Dominik1, well, or firefox :P [23:32] in other words I have to switch to xubuntu (which I did not enjoy) to make this mashine run? [23:32] Dominik1, the usage of swap makes that effect on disk since is writting and reading at the same time. the laser goes and struggle a lot. [23:32] anyone? [23:32] Anacranom-> yep a fresh install is much preferable [23:32] Dominik1, you can enable compiz and emerald on XFCE. === d is now known as Guest65215 [23:32] joaopinto: yea I REALLY get problems when I run firefox, what options do I have for browsers? FF2? [23:32] there is nothing to miss here. [23:32] Dominik1, try ff2, opera, epiphany, etc [23:33] faryshta: I do not understand [23:33] I just installed something and now when I launch openbox, I get the error "Xsession: warning: xrdb command not found; X resources not merged." how can I fix this? [23:33] Dominik1 i think that the latest ubuntu release expects everyone to have at least 2g ram 4ghz cpu/s not like older linux [23:33] faryshta: you say that swap has that effect, but it didn't under windows : (, and what do you mean by emerald on XFCE? [23:33] !find xrdb [23:34] hi folks, sound systems seem to dissapear, even a custom made sound 'theme' is gone :( [23:34] anybody heard of that problem ? [23:34] Dominik1, the usage of swap is to store memory of ram on the hard drive then when is using a program it needs to read and write on there which is more slow than do it on conventional ram. [23:34] damn it guys, why do OS's keep moving up with hardware requirments when in the past beautifull effects were achived with much less, it just seems that OS's keep getting more power hungry, but what am I getting out of it [23:34] xrdb is in ---> x11-xserver-utils - X server utilities [23:34] AutoMatriX: well have you checked your sound preferences... [23:34] try testing with different options.. [23:35] Hey! there is any way to use the sources of 8.10 on 8.04 without upgrading? [23:35] someone should work.. [23:35] Dominik1, emerald and compiz can be used on XFCE. Just install them and then you can do two things: [23:35] n8tuser, no, 8.04,,, i went back, and all was good,, the 8.10 was a fresh install- and nothing worked, video (res-max 600x400) sound, wireless- nothing... outside of adding noacpi acpi=off to the kernel line 8.04 works out of the box [23:35] Ddorda, no [23:35] Dominik1, first) compiz --replace every time you want to enable them. [23:35] package question http://ubuntu.pastebin.us/16286 [23:35] so from now and on i need to update everything by myself? [23:35] Dominik1, second) edit a .conf file to get it by default. [23:35] shredder12, everything is ok, but when I try to set some other sounds to some events, such as a mouseclic or a windowshut, those settings are 'forgotten' [23:35] Ddorda, what do you mean? do you want backports? [23:35] kam [23:35] i'm having a problem. when i upgraded to intrepid my movies folder went wacky. in nautilus it shows that there are no files in it but when i view the folder in terminal everything is still there. [23:36] i want to have updated programs [23:36] Ddorda, upgrade to 8.10, then [23:36] AutoMatriX: so it mean you are able to play songs and video sounds without any problem.. [23:36] shredder12, absolutely, yes, with no problem [23:36] my gdm setup wont load [23:36] Blank CDs show up on the desktop, but Rhythmbox still tells me to insert a blank when I try to burn. [23:36] faryshta: I kind of don't seem why the same theme and especially dragging and dropping isn't available in xfce [23:36] but 8.10 is lame! i'e just came back to 8.04 [23:36] i've* [23:37] Ddorda: is 8.4 faster?? [23:37] shredder12, they just seem not to be reminded :( [23:37] AutoMatriX: So, you are having problems with system sound.. [23:37] Dominik1, drag and drop is there. I use it. [23:37] well.. no. but it doesn't have billions of bugs [23:37] AutoMatriX: may be you should try other tabs in sound preferences..they deal with system sounds.. [23:37] faryshta: I can't drag a link into the Panels [23:37] hai...what should i use to recover deleted data using linux.is there a way to do this.maybe command or software [23:37] Ddorda, bugs such as?
