[00:00] Supari: exactly. [00:00] erUSUL: just one more thing [00:00] how do I fix this problem? [00:00] linux-rtl8187se-modules depends on linux-generic (>= 2.6.27.8.12); however: [00:00] Version of linux-generic on system is 2.6.27.7.11. [00:00] I cannot isntall the .deb file because of that [00:00] Non-Orthodox: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [00:00] it is the driver for my wireless card.... [00:00] Hey does anyone know how I get gstreamer0.10-xvid? [00:00] for some reason it's not listed in Synaptic. [00:00] sorry, it was just 2 lines, didnt think it would be considered as flood.... [00:00] How I do not automatically load a module during the boot ? I.e. I don't want to load psmouse on ubuntu 8.10, since I don't use PS/2 on this machine. [00:01] one more question.. when i copy things from drive to an external gnome tells me its done however after i remove the drive and plug it into a diff comp the files are half copied or have error [00:01] its not the lines really its how fast you type those lines out [00:01] jfreekao: im pretty sure google can tell you within a second or two [00:01] Non-Orthodox: where did you get the linux-rtl8187se-modules ??? [00:01] http://boskastrona.ovh.org/index_en.html [00:01] goodnight ;) [00:01] Non-Orthodox: What did you do that caused you to get that error? [00:01] I tried... A bunch of sites came up, but none say anything about downloading it. [00:01] Supari: on external devices sometimes it will update the "index" or the structure only when unmounting.. do you umount correctly or simply unplug the external drive? [00:01] hello, after I upgraded to 8.04 several month ago,I screen resolution is incorrect.The picture doesn't reach the edges of my monitor (CRT btw). [00:01] yes i unmount correctly [00:02] ah, sudo dpkg -i linux-rtl8187se-modules-*.deb in the folder with the downloaded files [00:02] are there anyone that use ubuntu 8.04 with gnome? i have to see one things.. 30 second [00:02] * donnie__ is apparently the only one on this planet who prefers kde over gnome [00:02] Non-Orthodox: "linux-rtl8187se-modules" is not an official package [00:02] i know... but it is the fully working driver for rtl8187 out there [00:02] i deleted a part of dev, how can i restore it? :) [00:03] Well, does anyone know how to watch Divx webplayer videos on Intrepid? [00:03] Supari: try with another external device just to make sure its not your actual drive... if same result I really don't know =/ sorry [00:03] the only one, I mean... that is fully working [00:03] Non-Orthodox: Where did you get this driver? Wherever you got it from you need to get the latest version [00:03] Supari: again I'm not the best expertise in here [00:03] Non-Orthodox: the kernel version it requires is only aviable to betatesters in proposed [00:03] its cool [00:03] it happens to all drives [00:03] :) [00:03] !realtek | Non-Orthodox [00:03] Non-Orthodox: some help for recent Realtek chipsets can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Device/RealtekRTL8187b [00:03] brb gonna test out this envy [00:03] that is exactly the latest version... [00:03] Non-Orthodox: see the page ubottu gave [00:04] Non-Orthodox: Where did you get the .deb from? [00:04] Supari: ubuntuforums.com probably has something on this... when you think you have a dumb problem... at least 200 users had it before you ;) [00:04] thanks erUSUL, I gonna try that one again. [00:04] yeah [00:04] Jordan_U: here: http://boskastrona.ovh.org/index_en.html [00:04] finally xfi sound card works in ubuntu !!! [00:04] aoupi, argh, forgot to backup my emails....

[00:06] pieter__: you need to create the directory you mount it to === mike is now known as Guest25233 [00:06] Can anyone tell me how I watch Divx Webplayer encoded videos? I'm using Intrepid, if that helps. [00:06] printer is connected and recognized by hplip === mike_ is now known as Guest13541 [00:07] is there a live version of ubuntu for usb?

My mic loops, and I have no way to make it stop. When I try to mute "Microphone" in Playback it mutes in Recording too. How do I make the looping stop? [00:08] Non-Orthodox: The author of that page apparently needs to make a new .deb ( or what he should really do is set up an automatic PPA ) [00:08] good evening. i am running ubuntu 8-4 inside windows.WHEN windows fails will i still be able to boot to ubuntu?? [00:08] Can anyone tell me how I watch Divx Webplayer encoded videos? I'm using Intrepid, if that helps. === Unorthodox_ is now known as Non-Orthodox_ [00:09] back... [00:09] Non-Orthodox: You can compile the driver yourself if you really need it now [00:09] stupid connection... [00:09] jfreekao try this sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras [00:09] I tried to install ubuntu 8.10 and I got sr0 I/O error, I reburned cd and passwed verification but same prompt, I have installed same version of ubuntu at work and it worked fine. DVD RW I have works nice under windows. Thanks [00:09] uh, but that only installs restricted drivers, doesn't it? [00:09] I have installed firestarter, but I cant get it to reconginze my other laptop or 360. I've been able to choose between eth1 and pan0, but neither work [00:10] I don't want to screw anything up [00:10] it does any restricted extra [00:10] firestarter [00:10] oops, just opened a file manager and saw it is actually properly mounted now. sorry for wasting your time. thanks a lot for your support! [00:10] No one? :( [00:10] FistMaker: what do you want to do? [00:10] whats firestarter? [00:10] Jordan_U: I know... the thing is that I can't... here is the driver I know that works, but I cannot compile: http://forums.msiwind.net/default-msiwind/have-the-wireless-drivers-but-t840.html [00:10] jfreekao no you wont do that [00:10] newbsd70: iptables frontend, easy to set up routing etc [00:10] i wish someone hereknows bsd [00:10] But I don't have any restricted drivers that list gstreamer0.10-xvid. [00:10] i see aoupi [00:10] share internet to my laptop with Xubuntu and my Xbox 360 [00:10] at least, not ones that are listed [00:10] thanks aoupi [00:11] thats not drivers add [00:11] Jordan_U: check Grackle post... [00:11] Grackle's post [00:11] i curious can we run bsd from flash drive [00:11] FistMaker: ok, and how are you connected to the xbox? [00:11] or install bsd on flashdrive [00:11] Non-Orthodox_: Do you not know how to compile it or are you getting an error? [00:11] newbsd70: wrong chat room [00:11] yeahiknowsorryususl [00:11] FistMaker: and how are you connected to the internet [00:11] PC with internet connection to 4 port hub, to Xbox [00:11] jfreekao you will be able to read anything [00:11] newbsd70, don't see why not... [00:11] my problem is that I do compile and all, but the only problem is that the driver doesnt load [00:11] exit [00:11] FistMaker: ok, what interface points to internet and which to the LAN? [00:12] meaning, ndiswrapper remains the driver instead of the new one [00:12] Non-Orthodox_: uninstall ndiswrapper [00:12] eth0 is my Internet, so I'm guessing eth1 is my local [00:13] hello. skype is not listing my webcam, but yet other apps can see it just fine. [00:13] FistMaker: yea, and you've set it up like that in firestarter? also check DHCP and internet sharing [00:13] i'm on x64 intrepid [00:13] checked DHCP and restarted [00:13] but no dice [00:13] says eth1 not ready [00:13] FistMaker: ifup eth1 [00:14] ? [00:14] Is there a clean way to cancel a apt-get install? [00:14] FistMaker: you must configure eth1, give it ip number like 192.168.0.1 [00:14] duallain: Have the packages finished downloading? [00:14] how do I configure eth1? [00:15] FistMaker : how manu connections you have? [00:15] No, it redirected me to buy the packages which I don't want to do. [00:15] just eth0 and 1 [00:15] FistMaker: I'm going to bed now, but I'm sure you'll find help, good luck :) [00:15] can you have two sessions on intrepid? 1- powerhungry gnome with tons of services and 2. power efficient KFCE with no wifi or services? [00:15] luddite: gdmflexiserver === Unorthodox_ is now known as Non-Orthodox__ [00:16] FistMaker : type 'ifconfig' and see the lo ? [00:16] stupid eletricity blinking... [00:16] luddite: It's certainly possible but you'd have to get your hands dirty [00:16] done, but it didn't list gstreamer0.10-xvid [00:16] Jordan_U: sorry, connection dropped due to instability in eletric power... [00:16] I'm having sound card and wireless problems. Here's my lspci output: http://rafb.net/p/Y9fsAL17.html [00:17] as I said, the compiled driver doesnt replace ndswrapper's driver... [00:17] Non-Orthodox_: uninstall ndiswrapper [00:17] many people [00:17] and if I remove ndiswrapper before, wlan0 disappears... [00:18] i see lo, what am I looking for? [00:19] Jordan_U: but then how can I ifconfig wlan0 up, if wlan0 doesnt appear as a device?? [00:19] my loopback is set to the standard 127.0.0.1, says up and running [00:20] hi, I'm trying to install 8.04 but it doesn't detect one of my hard drives, I suspect it is a problem with the mainboard. It is an Asrock 775Dual-vsta. I have 3 drives attached - DVD, PATA & SATA - the installer doesn't detect the PATA drive. Any ideas? === don_ is now known as k_deft [00:20] Non-Orthodox__: Have you tried removing ndiswrapper, rebooting, then loading the native drivers? [00:20] Well... 8.10 is the latest version; I do not know much but I'd say try this one? :> [00:21] is there something i have to set up for DHCP for firestarter to work? [00:21] I couldnt load the native drivers... [00:21] not sure how to [00:21] but I tryed rebooting after removing ndiswrapper [00:22] :) [00:22] hello [00:22] Hey you guys! I want to make a PHP-script that uses FFmpeg to convert avi-files to mp4 and moves them to a spesific folder, and then deletes the original. Any comments on that plan? [00:22] Non-Orthodox__: You follow the directions in the readme and run ./wlan0up [00:22] can't upgrade to 8.10 server: [00:22] Failed to fetch http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/h/hplip/hpijs_2.7.7+2.7.7.dfsg.1-0ubuntu5.1_i386.deb Size mismatch [00:22] Jordan_U: yes, I did... [00:23] Non-Orthodox__: Does it give any errors? [00:23] Jordan_U: nope... the only problem is that ndiswrapper remains there... [00:24] Non-Orthodox__: How can ndiswrapper remain there if it's not installed? [00:24] Is there a way to de-activate Emerald on Compiz? [00:24] ah, you mean after uninstalling it... [00:24] I did fresh install of 8.04 several months ago, and since the my display looks incorrect.It only when I have the resolution set to 1024x768 @ 60hz does the picture span from one edge to the other.But been at only 60hz it appears rather flickery. [00:24] Hi guys: how to slove Problem with Audio Playback for skype in ubuntu 8.10? [00:24] well, then it gives me the error that there is no wlan0 device, when I try ./wlan0up [00:24] Non-Orthodox__: Have you tried removing ndiswrapper, rebooting, then loading the native drivers? [00:25] Jordan_U: I tryed removinf ndiswrapper, rebooting... not sure ho to load the native drivers... [00:25] how* [00:25] removing* [00:26] can someone help me with conky? [00:26] hmmm. [00:26] Non-Orthodox__: cd to the folder with the drivers, run "./makedrv" then "./wlan0up" === TehJens is now known as Jensen2k [00:26] ok [00:26] Uplink:What about? [00:26] vEyem: my conky hides my desktop shorcuts :( [00:27] aoupi : thats gnome only and is a guest account whilst logged in. opintless for the task at hand. [00:27] jordan_U : mmm -any ideas? or is it just gonna be better to create a new user account and turn off all the crap i dont need? [00:27] while installing debianxfce, i didnot formatted the old home partition of xubuntu, now is there a way to get rid of the configuration left from xubuntu? [00:27] done [00:28] Thanks binmonkey [00:28] Uplink: are the invisible or are you unable to interact with them? [00:28] but ndiswrapper remains there... according to airdriver-ng [00:28] luddite: Well you can install XFCE and have it will be available as an option in sessions, then you can make a script that runs at XFCE startup that disables wireless [00:29] vEyem: ok the update interval is 2 seconds on my conky... it hides them, and when i hover over my icons with my cursor they appear until my conky updates, then they disappear again [00:30] So I downloaded and installed the linux drivers for the ATI card in my laptop. Once I restarted and rebooted, it's having problems, and when I try to start in low-res mode, it never actually gets to the desktop. Is there anyone that can tell me how I reverse the process? === elementz1 is now known as elementz [00:30] Jordan_U: not only in airdriver-ng loaded shows that ndiswrapper is the only loaded driver, as I cannot enter master mode from any wireless manager or iwconfig, which gives me the error that it isnt possible (not supported), while the driver I am trying to install supports it... [00:31] hey, my wireless card is showing up as disabled in lshw [00:31] how can I turn it on? [00:31] Non-Orthodox__: Have you tried removing ndiswrapper, rebooting, then loading the native drivers? [00:32] Jordan_U: I tell you again... I dont know how to load native drivers... if it is done automaticaly during reboot, then yes... and it failed [00:33] any idea how can I turn on a wireless card in Ubuntu? [00:33] normally I'd use Fn+F2 in windows [00:33] but obviously that's not working here [00:33] ellipsis, its the same in Ubuntu, this is a Hardware switch [00:33] Non-Orthodox__: It is not done automatically on boot unless you run the install script, like I said before, to load the native drivers: cd to the folder with the drivers, run "./makedrv" then "./wlan0up" [00:33] it's a fresh install of 8.10 [00:33] it's not working for me ldiamond [00:33] ah, ok [00:33] well, gonna try it... [00:33] brb, rebooting... [00:33] where is the kerenl config file in the ubuntu packages? i extracted them and i cant find it. i checked the diff and the binary. [00:33] I tried setting the keyboard layout to Dell Inspiron [00:34] ellipsis is your wireless even detected? [00:34] thanks Jordan_U... [00:34] brb [00:34] Non-Orthodox__: Make that "sudo ./wlan0up" [00:34] Uplink: hmm.It has been a while since I had conky installed,It was to buggy and would hog the cpu when users were switch.But I do remember Its poor refreshing scheme.I hope the implement real alpa blending in the future.Anyhow How large of area is this occupying? Can you just move it to an unused portion of the Desktop? [00:34] the wireless card doesn't show up in lspci [00:34] I mean it does [00:34] but in lshw [00:34] if ifconfig? [00:34] it shows up as disabled [00:34] in* [00:34] yeah it doesn't show up in ifconfig [00:34] vEyem_: yes it is freaking buggy... [00:34] only my ethernet card shows up [00:34] In my case, I'm using WICD so I dont know [00:35] check /etc/network/interfaces [00:35] You'll need those: #auto wlan0 [00:35] allow-hotplug wlan0 [00:35] iface wlan0 inet dhcp [00:36] this is all I have [00:36] auto lo [00:36] iface lo inet loopback [00:36] for the Network Manager part, I have no Idea because I'm not using it. [00:36] thats your problem. [00:36] should I add those lines in? [00:36] Uplink:Even if conky didn't hide the icons you still wouln't be able to click-on them,correct? [00:36] yes [00:37] Having problems with firestarter and configureing eth1 [00:37] vEyem_: i AM able to click on them [00:37] So I downloaded and installed the linux drivers for the ATI card in my laptop. Once I restarted and rebooted, it's having problems, and when I try to start in low-res mode, it never actually gets to the desktop. Is there anyone that can tell me how I reverse the process? [00:37] and I'm assuming I have to restart after that [00:37] hi guys anyone able to help me set up a VPN - was easy enough to set up on vista to allow me to access network shares over PPTP connection. With ibex i'm left baffled [00:37] why it sometimes appears a thing in the task bar saying something like: launching HTTP cache cleaner ?? [00:38] ellipsis, well, I dont know exactly how to restart only the appropriate modules, so I'd reboot yea [00:38] Uplink:I see, It has been a while since I've had it installed. [00:38] Can someone help with setting up firestarter share my internet to my xbox? [00:38] then I shall be right back, good sir [00:38] vEyem_: wanna try it again? :D ill give you my conkyrc [00:39] should I develop apps using Ultimate++ or wxwidgets, any comments?

[00:43] ok, this will be the weirdest and dumbest question I have asked on my life. Where it he option to change the number of Desktops on XFCE? [00:43] Hey guys, is it normal to have "do_poll" showing for almost every entry in System Monitor, under the Processes tab, and the waiting channel list? [00:43] my guess is I need to configure something for Ubuntu to share it properly [00:43] FistMaker: it's definitely eth1 you want? [00:43] eth0 is my internet [00:43] so eth1 is my local right?

[00:52] it's showing up as DISABLED with lshw [00:52] and not showing up at all in ifconfig [00:52] any ideas on what I can do? [00:53] Failtacular:run blender in a terminal and take note of the output. [00:53] I have my eth0 to my Linux Box, my Linux Box to a Hub, and then the Hub to my 360 [00:53] Very busy. I've never been in a chat room before, that's all. [00:53] man i'm starting to miss apt-get [00:53] Hi, I used synaptic package manager to install R-base and various R packages but i do not know how to load R because there is no shortcut option in my applications menu [00:53] it's taking me forever to emerge gimp [00:53] and i'm on -j4 [00:53] What, do you not have it? [00:53] =( [00:54] i wonder if it's possible to get apt-get on gentoo [00:54] never been in a chat room? [00:54] Blunted88: check in software sources, in the 'ubuntu software' tab you should have everything ticked that you want. main for the main supported apps, universe for unsupported apps, restricted for hardware drivers, and multiverse for other restricted stuff (proprietory etc) [00:54] That's right. [00:54] anyone know how to get atlantis to work in 8.10....???.... [00:54] eighthour, you need to open a stargate [00:54] FistMaker:I assume you have the xbox using your desktop's ip adress as its gateway? [00:54] then go off to a parallel universe [00:54] I'm not even 18 [00:54] haha [00:55] I still know a lot about Linux, though [00:55] exmachine, i don't have all the symbols.... [00:55] What's Linux Box? [00:55] it was set to Automatic, so I have no idea what the 360's i.p. is [00:55] An Emulator? [00:56] my guess is 192.168.0.1 [00:56] Failtacular: try installing the package 'ubuntu-desktop' [00:56] that's the standard from my experience [00:56] FistMaker: a 'linux box' is a term that refers to a computer with linux installed on it... like a 'windows box' [00:56] Could someone please look under their System Monitor, under the Processes tab, and let me know if it is similar to my system? Heres a picture of what I have showing. http://tinypic.com/view.php?pic=1zebeh1&s=4 [00:56] I already have it. I tried reinstalling it yesterday, and it didn't work. [00:56] Gnea: that was Failtacular, I'm familiar with the term :) [00:57] remu: yep, that's fine [00:57] FistMaker: er, yeah, sorry :) [00:57] np === theodore is now known as DJ_Gluckon [00:57] Failtacular: see what I just told FistMaker :) [00:57] FistMaker: no, I believe you must explicitly tell the xbox what to use as a gateway. [00:57] long day [00:57] emorris: hmm, alright, for some reason I thought it might be abnormal. Thanks. [00:57] what should I set it to? === soreau_ is now known as soreau [00:58] remu: no, it just tells you what it's waiting for (ie. user input, time to pass, etc. etc.) nothing to worry about [00:58] the xbox's ip will be obtained from the desktop computer. [00:58] oh okay [00:58] anyone knows how to make ZTE MF622 3G Modem work with Ubunt 8.10 ?? [00:58] *Ahem* [00:58] are there 1 or 2 commands i can fire to restart my sound system? every time i go to our national tv homepage all sound stops working. thinking something like sudo killall -9 alsadeamon && alsadeamon [00:58] assuming your computer's ip address is 192.168.0.1,then use 192.168.0.1 [00:58] Failtacular: ? [00:59] What? [00:59] Failtacular: why the *Ahem*? [00:59] Also, does anyone here have experience with bluetooth mice and Ubuntu 8.10? I tried to get my bluetooth headset to work, which didn't work as planned, but I ordered a bluetooth mouse and am hoping that there arent as many problems with the bluetooth mice as there are with the headsets. [00:59] Eh, well, no one's listening to my problem anymore. [00:59] remu: should be ok [01:00] Failtacular: what's the problem? [01:00] which address should I set my 360 to? [01:00] hello again , how I can remove entery from iptable ??? [01:00] how can i compare the speed of two browsers [01:00] inet address? Bcast?

[01:02] DiiPhantom: dunno serv-u, but proftpd and vsftpd tend to be the better options [01:02] you can also /msg the bot the play with it ;-) [01:02] thankx [01:03] DiiPhantom: but dont expect a gui like in serv-u [01:03] so should I leave the IP on the 360 to auto?

[01:03] lol, here is basically what i need: if someone uploads something, they will get credit [01:03] thats all [01:03] DiiPhantom: glftpd [01:03] Failtacular: try running the program in question from the command line and see what error msgs you get. [01:03] or should I set the I.P. to match what eth0's inet addr is? [01:04] I didn't find it when someone told me try it earlier. [01:04] glftpd?

[01:23] I would try that [01:23] Slayer: yeah [01:23] nastas: I would try that [01:23] nibsa1242: No, it will create an archive ( zip, tar.gz etc ) that will be split into multiple files, you will need all of the files in one place to decompress the full archive, so again, might not be exactly what you want [01:23] slinkeey: ok thnx [01:23] is tehre a 64bit chan [01:23] clayX: looks ok for me. there are probably plugins form other packages in there. so the folders are not removed. but the application you wanted to remove is [01:23] emmoris: What do you suggest?

[01:33] yeap, and also the gproftpd [01:33] thetank, well, is it connected via SPDIF or something or is it plugged into your sound card [01:33] open terminal and type alsamixer and make sure nothing is muted thetank [01:33] DiiPhantom: in that case check the menus, especially system>administration. if not, hit alt-f2 and type gksudo gproftpd [01:33] W-- whatever it is key [01:33] Slayer: WEP?

How do I get 1024x768 AND 3dacc working at the same time? right now only one works at a time [01:34] do that, make new keys [01:34] not my one with Linux [01:35] thetank, and you're sure the speaker works? like, did you have it working in windows, etc? [01:35] Slayer, you forgot it? [01:35] pretty much [01:35] but when i opended it it said: could not launch menu item" failed to execute child process "su-to-root" (no such file or directory [01:35] emorris: [01:35] Slayer, was the windows password in plaintext or a bunch of dots [01:35] Slayer: if it won't let you make new keys, you'll probably have to reset your router's configuration and start over from scratch to put the settings back in place and make new keys [01:35] DiiPhantom: install the menu package [01:36] bazhang nothings muted [01:36] which one is it?

[02:02] hi everyone [02:03] i m using kubuntu 8.10 [02:03] ohai [02:03] jrib, ok, i did that earlier tonight already [02:03] J2daosh, just trying to narrow down the possible points of error here [02:03] if i move the www folder to my user dir do i need to chown to the www-data user ? [02:03] and my wireless card just stopped working for some reason... [02:03] updated banshee to 1.41 from PPA. now I have no sound from banshee. any clues? #banshee is no help [02:03] yes [02:03] i know. thanks for that [02:03] clayX: do: sudo updatedb && locate libflashplayer.so [02:03] darkdeeper: it says [OK] after but nothing is happening it seems, I'm not sure how long it should take [02:04] but i have narrowed it down to ubuntu. so how can i "reinstall" it? [02:04] AnnoyingMouse_: what do you mean about jackd? could my current installation of it be conflicting with alsa or are you suggesting that it will help? [02:04] J2daosh, what about going back the the kde session? does that allow ethernet to work? [02:04] doing a /etc/init.dnetworking restart doesn't fix the issue either [02:04] AnnoyingMouse_: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/74581/ , sorry that took so long [02:04] err to the [02:04] When I start my PC, my initial login screen is about two inches to the right. When I log in, the video "flips" for a second (blinks black) then the desktop is shown centered properly. How do I fix the initial login being off center? [02:04] ive tried both gnome and KDE, niether work [02:04] bazhang: thanks, the term 'legacy driver' brought a nice google hit. I'm just afraid that I'm already using them (: [02:04] J2daosh, what ethernet card [02:05] jrib, http://paste.ubuntu.com/74582/ [02:05] Guys, what is pulseaudio used for? [02:05] Melik, sound [02:05] realtek PCI Express Fast Ethernet controller [02:05] If I use ALSA for everything ,can i go ahead and remove pulseaudio? [02:05] clayX: delete /home/batman/firefox/plugins/libflashplayer.so [02:05] RTL812E [02:05] J2daosh, what is the number from lspci [02:05] Melik, it is a competing sound driver like ALSA only ALSA is better and you should use it instead [02:05] oops [02:05] J2daosh-> wiggle the cat5 cable a lil, and see if led lights are lit [02:05] time to install ubuntu and make one step away from from windows [02:05] Melik: PulseAudio is a "sound server". It lets you do nifty things like playing sound from two programs at once, changing one program's volume control at a time, and sending audio to another computer. You can remove ALSA, but I wouldn't recommend it. [02:06] PA works well in tandem with ALSA. [02:06] TaRDy: did u somehow update ur display driver after u fresh install or something like tat [02:06] jrib, done [02:06] not sure what you mean by number [02:06] High, can someone help me mount a samba partition so I can use rsync to copy 13G of files over? [02:06] hm, other question, is there a config file where I can add keyboard shortcuts for starting applications? I'd like to start nautilus with windows-E [02:06] Haunt_House, not sure how good of 3d acc you will ever get from that card, sad to say. I tried with a very old ati and it was quite constrained [02:07] didnt want to let me run compiz at all [02:07] !rsync [02:07] Sorry, I don't know anything about rsync [02:07] clayX: I guess that one shouldn't matter anyway. Let's make it clearer. sudo aptitude purge flashplugin-nonfree && sudo updatedb && locate libflashplayer.so [02:07] darkdeeper: once i did the fresh install, i did all the updates available and enabled the 2nd of the two (recommended) display drivers and enabled that [02:07] !backup [02:07] There are many ways to back your system up.

And I easily get the needed 1024x768, if I don't use the proprietary driver. in that case the acceleration is nonexistant. running blender 3d with 66fps, although there's just a cube in the viewport is not very comfortable, even for teaching purposes (: [02:09] !ask [02:09] darkdeeper: i'm not sure if the xorg.conf file might effect it but there was an xorg.conf.failsafe there, should i mayb replace the xorg.conf with that and reboot?

[02:33] does x take over the inputs (/dev/input/event8) when it starts, because i can see touchscreen garbage print out there before i start x but not after [02:33] Odditie: you can mount it as a specific user, you have to edit /etc/fstab for that [02:34] clayX: ... You don't know anything about why you have diversions set on firefox? [02:34] Odditie: I would go with what I said [02:34] jrib, no [02:34] clayX: readlink -f /usr/bin/firefox [02:34] Whats the correct way to do that then? I was trying to change an already made folder, but was having no luck. [02:35] jrib, /opt/firefox/firefox [02:35] I am unable to find that imagemagik [02:35] Odditie: I would say the correct way is to chown user:user /mounteddisk/newfolder -R [02:35] phrostbite, you might try picasa [02:35] clayX: you have run some script or something. This is not a default setup [02:36] crap [02:36] OK, and you think that will help me mass edit images? [02:36] ok, thank you MrKeuner [02:36] its imagemagick phrostbite [02:36] Odditie: welcome [02:36] !info imagemagick [02:36] imagemagick (source: imagemagick): image manipulation programs.

Version 7:6.3.7.9.dfsg1-2ubuntu3 (intrepid), package size 1387 kB, installed size 4464 kB [02:36] chown user:user /mounteddisk/ -R won't work unless you mount it as user [02:36] phrostbite, sudo apt-get install imagemagick [02:37] ok [02:37] how do i open the gui of proftp [02:38] Killer--Tux, ever heard of webmin? its pretty sweet for configuring all sorts of servers [02:38] how do you know what device is assigned to your touchscreen? [02:38] MAsterShrek sorry never heard of it [02:38] MAsterShrek how does that work [02:39] Killer--Tux, my friend showed me it, its a web-based configuration thing, u can configure ftp, apache, postfix, all sorts of things === tonswin is now known as tonsofpcs [02:39] it has a debian package i think... [02:39] MAsterShrek o really [02:39] I did the sudo thing you told me too and i am not seeing it in the applications list [02:40] clayX: you need to remove the diversions that were set [02:40] MAsterShrek where can i get this [02:40] first hit on google, webmin.com [02:41] how do I connect to usemet? [02:41] n* [02:41] usenet? sorry [02:42] apostle, what client are you using? [02:42] phrostbite, then from a terminal, go into your image directory, and run "mogrify -resize 50% *.jpg", replacing 50% with the % you want to shrink them [02:42] I have pan installed [02:42] you need either your isp's servier locations or a pay one [02:42] So then if i only wanna reduce them a little i would put like 10 percent [02:43] phrostbite, NO, 90% [02:43] ok [02:43] phrostbite, make backups first [02:43] so then from the terminal how do i get to the image folder? [02:43] phrostbite, just in case you screw up [02:43] Oh and yes i made backups already :) [02:43] So it's 'become 90% of the original size', not 'reduce by 10%'? [02:43] jrib, i'm trying to figure out what you mean [02:43] phrostbite: or use 'convert' instead of 'mogrify' [02:43] phrostbite, "cd /path/to/directory" [02:44] Oh ok [02:44] isp holds ~ 5 days? of retention, otherwise giganews does like 250 days, for about $5/month unlimited download [02:44] clayX: dpkg-divert --list '*firefox*' [02:44] Do I need hte quotes?

[02:45] I get disconnected from eth0 [02:45] any ideas? [02:45] ellipsis: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [02:45] clayX: it will take you 10 seconds to do it now [02:45] oh how do i do it [02:45] or to put it properly, every time I try to download a file in firefox, I get disconnected from eth0. [02:45] clayX: dpkg-divert --list '*firefox*' [02:45] ok i did that [02:46] clayX: pastebin [02:46] is there some way i can tell apt i compiled and installed wine myself so that the stuff installed by apt-get build-dep wine doesnt show up as unneeded stuff for apt-get autoremove [02:46] here is my dmesg log http://paste.ubuntu.com/74599/ [02:46] jrib, http://paste.ubuntu.com/74600/ [02:46] Any gnome/panel experts in the house? [02:46] raven: look into equivs I guess [02:47] raven, checkinstall [02:47] clayX: sudo rm /usr/bin/firefox && sudo dpkg-divert --rename --remove /usr/bin/firefox then do the same for the other one [02:47] how do i open the configuration gui for proftp [02:47] Does anybody know of a command to remove all files in a directory that are over 8 hours old? I need hours not days. [02:47] I'm trying to edit my menu-bar in gnome panel. I know this has been a commonly asked question but I swear there is not a single solution. [02:48] warriorforgod: old according to what? modification time? [02:48] how do i open the configuration gui for proftp [02:48] linuxcommand.org has a tutorial intro that says the time since files last modified warriorforgod [02:48] hi all, which file do i have to edit in order to get a copy of system messages sent to root? [02:48] Hello everyone [02:48] PassionFRUI7E: like edit the menu items? [02:48] jrib: modification time would work. [02:48] how do i open the configuration gui for proftp [02:48] I did the command and it says unable to open file *.jpg [02:48] warriorforgod: you can do that with 'find' [02:49] <\Kira> Ubuntu wont recognize the disk I put into the drive. I have a cdrom entry in /dev/, but when I manually try to mount it replys with medium not found.... This is really imparative I get a disk to read, any help please? [02:49] mbrush: I'm not asking the common question. I'm wondering how to internally mod Applications/Places/System to other names and menus. [02:49] how do i open the configuration gui for proftp [02:49] mbrush: I know you can edit those menus contents, but thats not what I'm after. [02:49] jrib: What would I pair with find and mtime to do that? [02:49] I configured->System->Settings->Audio-> Play sounds for buttons. Minimizing and Maximizing doesn't make sounds, why?? I used an ogg file. [02:49] how do i open the configuration gui for proftp [02:49] Is that a bug?? [02:49] jrib: I am used to find . -mtime +1 -exec rm -rf {} \; [02:49] system - preferences - main menu I think [02:49] PassionFRUI7E: not sure, but it's probably in gconf [02:49] every time I try to download a file in firefox, I get disconnected from eth0. Here is the paste from dmesg. http://paste.ubuntu.com/74599/ [02:49] I am using Ubuntu 8.10. [02:49] I upgraded my kernel from 2.6.27-7 to 2.6.27-8 when the upgrade became available. When I rebooted my system into the upgraded kernel, my broadcom card had stopped working, it was working perfectly with the linux drivers before the upgrade. The kde network manager was not even listing a wireless device in the list and eth0 seemed to be the only interface available to me. [02:49] ifconfig told me about eth0, loopback and the vmnet networks while iwconfig told me that eth0, lo, vmnet and pan0 had no wireless extensions, it did not even mention the wireless card. [02:49] lspci was still recognizing the card but 'dmesg|grep bcm', 'dmesg|grep b43' and 'dmesg wlan' all returned nothing at all. I manually went over the dmesg output but could not find anything related to wlan. [02:49] warriorforgod: you wouldn't. See -mmin [02:49] iKazmi: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [02:49] any ideas? [02:49] Killer--Tux: Obsiously nobody knows, but chill down. [02:49] In the end, I rebooted into my old kernel and everything is working perfectly. [02:50] jrib: Ahh. Thx. [02:50] jrib, FTW [02:50] plz someone file that bug report for me... [02:50] mbrush: Nope =( I have to edit the base object time of the menubar, the aptly named, menu-bar. [02:50] jrib is KING [02:50] mbrush: That's why this question is so rampant. [02:50] usser, ty [02:50] jrib, it opened a completely different install, but all plugins are in there [02:50] how do i reconfigure my video xorg file or driver? how do i select which driver my computer loads??? [02:50] in driver you change the name to the one you want [02:50] ive been trying to find kernel 2.6.27 but apparently theres not such package so i cant file the report on lauchpad [02:51] mbrush: Like the launchers are launcher-object, ect, and action-applet [02:51] clayX: right. You probably want to get rid of /opt/firefox now since you aren't using it [02:51] Hey guys! I'm wondering if there is a way to make ubuntu show folder icons the way Windows XP or Vista do. Let me explain... In vista and XP, if a folder has a jpeg within it called "folder.jpg" the folder's will have that picture displayed (when you view your folders in 'folder view'). Is there anyway to do something similar in Ubuntu? [02:51] thank you so much jrib [02:51] clayX: no problem [02:51] PassionFRUI7E: not sure, but good luck [02:51] jrib: no [02:51] I mean why doesn't pusing buttons make sounds, if you say that if makes sounds when you acticate the option? hope somebody can help me get minizing and maximizing sounds [02:51] Did anybody update firefox today? I lost my find command [02:51] fany3642: what? [02:51] !xorg [02:51] The X Window System is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output.

[02:52] now i can work on the other things i need :P [02:53] jlaroche: That isn't really needed. Why would you want that? The command line is so powerful. [02:53] jlaroche: It's a good idea to develop but I'm just curious of its use. [02:53] does pdisk on the 6.04 ppc live cd write apple partition maps?

[02:55] give that link to anyone that has a problem as the other 2 links on the ubuntu forums dont work [02:55] raven: Just make a nautilus script to do it. [02:55] raven create a script that does extract %f depending on extension, then choose it as the default open action [02:55] J2daosh, its on the ubuntu wiki :) [02:55] passionFRUI7E: I have a huge collection of videos and music and am very meticulous when it comes to organization. On top of that I am a very visual person. in windows xp and vista I would navigate my music and film collections in the 'folder view' mode and all the folders (named after an artist with subfolders for the album, or named after the movie) had icons representing what they were. Do you understand now? [02:55] raven but it doesn't make sense to me [02:55] oh dangit [02:55] raven: Then you right click and could extract all archives in said folder to current directory. [02:55] where is this wiki?

[03:20] is there any software that can trouble shoot my computer? [03:20] I see icons [03:21] I'm having trouble getting my bluetooth headset to have playback. [03:21] JoeK, if it doesn't detect it you'll have to install the restricted extras package.. not sure if that is on the cd or now. [03:21] *not [03:21] it is like a video of a staticy tv as my background [03:21] At 6k hours and 30 USD I got 200 hours to the dollar. Movies are .05 hours to the dollar. [03:21] Delano, you should be able to get 8.1 from the update manager [03:21] Tada! [03:21] Slinkeey, try opening a terminal and typing "killall nautilus" and your background *should* be refreshed. [03:21] Does Empathy IM support voice chat? [03:21] PassionFRUI7E, please chat in #ubuntu-offtopic [03:21] Sure. [03:21] <{Delano}> JoeK, okay... how big is it?

[03:22] Yes yes it's open. [03:22] lololol, slinkeey? [03:22] not often though [03:22] slinkeey, do u use a CRT? [03:22] PassionFRUI7E, then go to general settings [03:22] no [03:22] Delano, first you should apply all available updates. Then the update manager should show you ubuntu 8.1 is available. I dont know how much it downloads to upgrade from an older version [03:22] Slinkeey: That is very strange. To be honest, I don't know how to fix it. Do you have a TV tuner card? Are you running MythTV? Perhaps if you plug a cable in, what would happen? [03:22] There. [03:23] I do have an ati all in wonder [03:23] check under virtual horizontal desktops iirc [03:23] set to 4 [03:23] slinkeey, do u 1. have a tv card, 2. use a tv as a monitor, or 3. have anything but ur pc hooked to the monitor [03:23] maybe the tv tuner on that is trying to be the background [03:23] when I installed my system this last time I did a default install and now I have a swap partition I'm not using. I assume I can remove it from fstab and repartition the space it will work like I expect it to. (remove swap like it never existed) Am I missing anything thing with this logic that I need to know before attempting? [03:23] Hmm. Maybe if you... hmm. Very strange. Yeah, that's what I'm thinking [03:23] but I don't know why. [03:23] Very strange. [03:24] my pc is hooked up to the monitor [03:24] I can still use it [03:24] Ah that makes sense. [03:24] then initiate [03:24] I sai djust the background look like tv [03:24] check the keybinding for that [03:24] not the whole ppicture [03:24] KK. [03:24] Understood.

I have the update manager window up, with updates but every time I focus over the window it just hangs? [03:25] JohnWittle, yes [03:25] fwaokda: sudo aptitude remove packagename [03:25] thanks [03:26] I have no advanced desktop effects menu. [03:26] usser: is there any way to instal the i286 version from a PPC computer? [03:26] fwaokda: or sudo aptitude remove --purge packagename that's if you want to remove all configurations as well [03:26] <_stink_> anyone seen something like this before?: i have a machine with sshd and vnc server running. i can get to both services and see both open via nmap, but only from 2 of my machines w/i my home network. from one of my machines, though, both services won't respond, and nmap shows them as "filtered". [03:26] Hm, the cube isn't initiating. I have 4x1 desktops. [03:26] <_stink_> what's weirder is that this one machine was able to connect *once*, but can't any more. [03:26] output set to one big cube, most settings maxed [03:26] JohnWittle, without downloading the entire iso? no [03:26] I want to run Ubuntu PPC on my IBM iSeries (AS400) currently running SLES [03:26] its almost like, my left click does nothing. [03:27] usser: I'm fine with that, but i'm not very good with the fdisk command, and i'm on a mac [03:27] Hey, I have a problem. My hostname is set to "localhost.localdomain" on bootup and not "northbound" like it should be. What gives? Here's my /etc/hosts and such: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/74581/ [03:27] i can only boot the PPC version of ubuntu [03:27] hey guys does anybody know how i can get compiz working on 8.10...i have intel 945gma integrated graphics card, but when i try looking up the driver in synpatics it doesnt find anything...and when i try to use Extra or Normal desktop effects it tells me: Desktop Effects could not be enabled [03:27] passion gimme a sec [03:27] but i want to be able to boot ubuntu on an intel computer from my flash drive [03:27] Thanks droopsta915. [03:27] PassionFRUI7E, go to System>Preferences>Appearance>Visual Effects and crank it up to the middle or highest setting. [03:27] JohnWittle, install unetbootin, it will make the entire process insanely easy [03:27] hosstest: What do you mean by "nearly crawling" in Standard Emglish? [03:28] Odd, no buttons are selected. [03:28] is that on macports or should i google? [03:28] hosstest: What do you mean by "nearly crawling" in Standard English? [03:28] JohnWittle: I personally doubt that the installer works for PPC [03:28] what do you mean? [03:28] K now what? [03:28] passion: install Advanced Desktop Effects Setting Compiz configuration settings manager also. [03:28] PassionFRUI7E, ctrl+alt+click left mouse and drag [03:29] Jordan_U: why would that be? [03:29] bullgard4: Like, for instance, my cursor looks like the text cursor, the whole session is nearly unresponsive. [03:29] bullgard4: I click on stuff, and nothing happens. It doesnt get highlighted or anything. === tux9778 is now known as tux9778-afk [03:30] bullgard4: Everything seems frozen. I hard rebooted once already. [03:30] usser: unetbootin is not available for mac [03:30] JohnWittle, i dont think theres a mac version of unetbootin or ppc for that matter, if u have access to a windows machine it works on windoows [03:30] JohnWittle: PPC is not fully supported any more so my guess would be that the flash drive installer on PPC is the exact same code as the one for x86 just compiled for PPC, so you might be able to make a bootable intel flash drive but I doubt there is code for dealing with yaboot ( the bootloader used for PPC ) [03:31] if I had access to a windows machine i would just boot intel ubuntu [03:31] hosstest: I presume that you mingled with you configuration. Otherwise I have never heard that this happens. So I can only advise that you de-install the package and re-install it. [03:31] Jordan_U: what do you mean? [03:31] JohnWittle: Did you ask in #ubuntu-ppc ? [03:31] genii-around: will now [03:31] hosstest: I presume that you mingled with your configuration. Otherwise I have never heard that this happens. So I can only advise that you de-install the package and re-install it. [03:32] Is it possible that my right click has become Unbound or something? [03:32] how can I run a fsck on a device that ubuntu doesn't even recognize? I can't get my flash drive to respond in ubuntu, but it works in vista just fine. Someone on the forums said about doing a fsck but I'm not sure how if ubuntu doesn't recognize my flash drive. [03:32] genii-around: 13 users as opposed to 1407 :D [03:33] Back after logoff [03:33] JohnWittle: Someone still may know [03:33] hi [03:33] I'm redefaulting my controls. [03:33] i am using Xchat...

[03:34] i have mozplugger and mozilla-mplayer installed but they wont work [03:34] JohnWittle, it lets you select the iso file from which u want to create a usb thumb. so yes it will work with i386 [03:34] i have it set to them in firefox [03:35] JohnWittle, but u'll have to download entire iso of i386 ubuntu [03:35] once I have KDE installed in addition to Gnome, how do I add it to the session manager for selection at login?

[03:56] Louis, ebox replaces webmin, from what i hear [03:56] tho i never used either [03:56] just find a package or compile? [03:56] gizmobay, likely a compile, but thats pretty easy.. [03:56] u might find a debian package [03:56] duno [03:57] Louis, yea pretty much lacks lots of features of webmin but it only makes it easier to use for general-purpose stuff. for something complicated i'd always drop to command line [03:57] can someone help me figure this problem out please? http://paste.ubuntu.com/74620/ [03:57] If I have ripped a DVD to my computer ( I have the VIDEO_TS and AUDIO_TS folders), what can I use to convert it to a .avi file?

[04:03] NewFAQs, windows does have a terminal [04:03] NewFAQs, and a lot of ppl use it [04:03] droopsta915, /etc/X11/xinit/xinput.d/all_ALL [04:03] NewFAQs, I just tried to reinstall windows on my wife's machine that I had to rebuild.. It didn't like the fact that the cdrom and hd were on the same ide channel but ubuntu didn't have any problem.. messed with settings, ram sticks etc for an hour trying to figure it out.. things are just different in both camps.. time to learn! [04:03] My mouse seems to be frozen, it is unresponsive when I left click on desktop items. I had Update Manager open earlier and when I tried to update it told me that "Cannot grab mouse, try again later"/ [04:03] hosstest, nothing at all? [04:04] has anyone seen this? [04:04] hosstest, did it drop you back to login screen? [04:04] hosstest: see it [04:04] wow i do like ubuntu [04:04] usser: yes [04:04] but windows is easier [04:04] NewFAQs, then use it [04:04] hosstest, and u could login?

[04:05] <\Kira> I get a segmentation fault when trying to run Unreal tournament on linux [04:05] usser: yes, I have a mouse cursor, but nothing happens when I click on objects.

[04:05] mp4 i'd recommend, or mpeg-ts [04:05] hosstest, hm... ok do ctrl+alt+F1 [04:05] jlc, actually windows will have something like synaptic I think. I think they are calling it cloud computing or something [04:05] Is it possible to use Voice Chat on jabber servers? [04:05] hosstest, it should give u a login prompt in text mode [04:06] binarymutant: will or has.... for over a decade? [04:06] binarymutant, not the same thing.. [04:06] cloud computing... is more of internet apps [04:06] usser: I get the log in [04:06] not the same thing [04:06] izinucs, is it not? I thought you paid money and then were able to download whatever program but I haven't looked into it [04:06] hosstest, alright use your account to login [04:06] usser: then? [04:06] hosstest, once u get to prompt [04:07] hosstest, do sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop [04:07] and apparently you missed the word FREE [04:07] my linux compiles all fail in postinstall line 1186 [04:07] binarymutant, oh.. yea.. the cloud has all the programs available.. like a store.. pay money.. download.. install.. run.. like I said. not the same thing.. [04:07] hosstest, once u did that do sudo mkdir /home/backup [04:08] hosstest, sudo cp -R $HOME /home/backup [04:08] izinucs, i dunno it sounds just like a proprietary synaptic [04:08] usser: Tells me that gdm is already running and that is it aborting [04:08] Hello... I'm having a problem with my WLAN card on my laptop (PCI) It is not recognized with lspci. I opened the laptop up and re-inserted the card. Still nothing... Anyone have any ideas, or a channel that could help?

How do I find out what button this is assigned to? (It will not assign if I click it when the editor is open) [04:09] usser: Okay, then what? [04:09] hosstest, once u did that do sudo mkdir /home/backup [04:09] hosstest, sudo cp -R $HOME /home/backup [04:09] hosstest, this will backup your settings and whatever files u have [04:09] binarymutant: the file looks the same. [04:09] how do i setup dns nameservers? i cant connect to any remote host.. [04:09] hosstest, just make sure u have enough space on the harddrive [04:10] dumb question, because i really should know which version of ubuntu i just installed... but is tehre a way to determine the version via CLI? [04:10] droopsta915, ? are you sure? [04:10] Louis, lsb_release -a [04:10] usser: what was the cp command again? [04:10] hosstest, sudo cp -R $HOME /home/backup [04:11] droopsta915, what happens if you remove /ssh ? [04:11] So, recently I upgraded my ATI mobility drivers from the Synaptic. When I rebooted it gets put into low-graphics mode, and won't boot to the GUI. Is there a way I can revert back to the original drivers using the LiveCD / rootshell prompt? [04:11] usser: copying atm [04:12] XORG gives me the error : "(EE) No input driver/identifier specified" [04:12] hosstest, cool [04:12] usser: thanks [04:12] So... I have a CLI question that i've been too embaressed to ask [04:12] usser: am I going to have to re-install Ubuntu? [04:12] when I hit "ping google.com" and accidently forget to set a parameter to end it [04:12] hosstest, no [04:12] what exactly do I do to get it to stop? [04:12] binarymutant: should i remove it from the same file? [04:13] crtl+c [04:13] hosstest, shouldnt [04:13] oh [04:13] to browse the web..is there anything else i need to do besides entering dns names servers into resolv.conf? [04:13] how on earth did i install hardy heron... lolwut? I upgrade by "sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" correct? [04:13] lol [04:13] droopsta915, well don't remove it, but do you have a /ssh file or folder? [04:13] JohnWittle: Control + C [04:13] usser: what is my next step after it gets done copying? [04:13] I am having problems with compiz-core, every time I try to redownload it and install it, I get the same error: http://pastebin.com/d67d6818c [04:13] Ikyn_: try and boot into rescue mode [04:13] jlc: done [04:13] Ikyn_: edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf [04:13] Louis: No, use update-manager instead. [04:13] and change Driver "fglrx" to "vesa" [04:13] Yeah< i realize now :D [04:13] and i feel pretty stupid [04:13] yes [04:14] I have a question [04:14] Ikyn_: vi or nano, not sure what you are familiar with [04:14] !help > me [04:14] hotdog003: this is ubuntu server [04:14] no GUI [04:14] hosstest, right now next step will destroy all your data so make sure everything backed up do du -h $HOME and du -h /home/backup the numbers it gives should be roughly the same [04:14] droopsta915, did you add it because by default there shouldn't be one [04:14] usser, did that command get the . files too? [04:14] binarymutant: no i didnt [04:14] how do I boot into rescue mode? my options are recovery mode, and memtest [04:15] quit [04:15] sorry i dont have a ssh file that i know about [04:15] Can i install games from one ubuntu cd onto my pc running a different version of ubuntu [04:15] izinucs, yes [04:15] usser: okay, still copying, what is the du command? [04:15] sorry [04:15] how do i upgrade from 8.04. to 8.10 on the command line? [04:15] Ikyn_: recovery [04:15] hosstest, du shows how much space a certain folder occupies [04:15] * b3lorix is away: Gone to Bed, ill be back [04:15] several differnt distro's call it something else... :) [04:15] usser: going out on a limb here, disk usage? [04:15] droopsta915, where'd you get the disc? because that would worry me. But even so could you pastebin .xsession-errors found in your home folder? [04:16] My recovery mode = 6 options - Resume normal boot, clean, dpkg, fsck, root, and xfix [04:16] hosstest, yep [04:16] how can i do this i tried the package mananger but is ends up downloading off line that takes forever [04:16] none of them are "boot into recovery mode" === Dedi is now known as dedi_away [04:16] one second === root is now known as Guest45057 [04:17] Ikyn_: title Ubuntu 8.10, kernel 2.6.27-7-generic (recovery mode) [04:17] yep [04:17] hello [04:17] I'm in that menu right now [04:17] Ikyn_: you dont have that when you boot up [04:17] usser: Have you seen these symptoms befor, where the mouse stopped grabbing items, and the Update Manager wouldnt allow you to update because of that? [04:17] ok, well choose that and hit enter [04:17] done [04:17] usser: still copying btw. [04:17] hosstest, yea i remember something like that [04:17] Ikyn_: are you familiar with vi or nano? [04:18] negative [04:18] hurm [04:18] usser: Do you have any idea why it happened in the first place? And how I can avoid it from happending again> [04:18] hosstest, my bet is compiz [04:19] Ikyn_: try typing this in [04:19] Ikyn_: sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg [04:19] when you get to a command line [04:20] k [04:20] * b3lorix is away: Gone to Bed, ill be back [04:20] if I use ubuntu 8.10 to create a Live USB thumbdrive, am I able to boot that drive and also make changes? [04:20] ok [04:20] jlc: now reboot? [04:20] how do i upgrade to a new distribution on the command line? is it apt-get dist-upgrade? [04:20] Ikyn_: what did it do? [04:21] keyhack: yes [04:21] say done or reconfigured or something [04:21] usser: okay, what was the du command you wanted me to issue. Copying is complete. [04:21] keyhack: it works just as well, just a bit slower [04:21] hosstest, du -h $HOME [04:21] hosstest, du -h /home/backup [04:21] i'm running ubuntu server 8.04 if that matters [04:21] hosstest, numbers should be roughly the same [04:21] jlc: overwriting possibly-customized config file [04:21] it's done [04:21] Ikyn_: type this in [04:21] JohnWittle: ok yeah, just wanted to be able to change the settings, new drivers, apps, etc. I realize it'll be a bit slow, but this is just going to hold the OS for a media PC I'm putting together [04:21] I'm having some horrible trouble with ubuntu. [04:21] grep Driver /etc/X11/xorg.conf [04:21] [04:21] usser: yes, theuy match [04:22] keyhack: Yeah, it'll be fine. A bit faster than running it off the liveCD, though not much, and much more... useable :D [04:22] jlc: it didn't do anything [04:22] Sigh [04:22] what do i need to play .rm files [04:22] ok [04:22] Can I install games form one version of ubuntu (a cd) to a newer version on my pc without using a package mananger? (everytime i try it downloads the packages and that would take forever) [04:22] Loti [04:22] Loti: Just grab teh CCCP and run it in Wine. [04:22] JohnWittle: excellent, thanks! everything arrives tomorrow so I'm psyched :-) [04:22] hosstest, cool now do sudo rm -rf $HOME/* [04:23] hektic, yes with the sudo dpkg -i command [04:23] Ikyn_: try reboot, if that doesn't work, you should be able to remove /etc/X11/xorg.conf [04:23] usser: okay [04:23] um id rather run it natively [04:23] Ikyn_: back that file up first though [04:23] Hey usser can I have a moment of your time [04:23] Neconide, sure [04:23] Ikyn_: cd /etc/X11 ; cp xorg.conf xorg.conf.orig ; rm xorg.conf; reboot [04:23] dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg [04:23] keyhack: Yup. My dad just rigged up a system where he runs a Coax cable from Time Warner straight to a linux box with a octo-raid setup and uses the linux box as a DVR and a cable box [04:23] can anybody enter the room #ubuntu-nl and tell the admin my ban has last long enough? [04:23] hektic, you need aptoncd [04:23] usser: done [04:23] !real [04:23] 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 [04:24] its been awhile since I've done that, it might just remove and detect on next boot, so go ahead and reboot first [04:24] hektic, you'll have to download the .deb first though from like packages.ubuntu.com or something [04:24] hosstest, cool now make sure its clean do ls $HOME [04:24] JohnWittle: cool, yeah, I built a $222 Boxee system, so can't wait to play around with that [04:24] hosstest, that should give u blank [04:24] Haha, it'll be good [04:24] binarymutant: i cant find the error file, [04:24] hosstest, now we need a Vinceman: done [04:24] I am having problems with compiz-core, every time I try to redownload it and install it, I get the same error: http://pastebin.com/d67d6818c What can I do to fix this problem?

I'm dual booting ubuntu 8.0.4 with vista, and I have minimal experience with linux... I used to run backtrack 3 (bleh) without a problem. I can work perfectly with windows no matter how much it sucks but I can't seem to figure this out. [04:25] i ment with the package mananger i need to point the source to the cd not the online servers [04:25] usser: nothing was displayed with ls $HOME [04:25] droopsta915, try vim ~/.xsession-errors [04:25] hosstest, cool now try sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start [04:25] Think you can help me usser? [04:25] hektic, its under settings->repositories in synaptic [04:25] I've got a small question. My laptop's colors seem all washed out, and some colors produce odd red or blue lines. Does that mean that my Graphics Controller is going bad? [04:26] ok cool i will give that a try [04:26] droopsta915, it might not be there though [04:26] jlc: Thanks. It's booting up now [04:26] trevor, or no configured correctly [04:26] anyone use gnome-main-menu (slab) from suse/novell [04:26] Ikyn_: yw, hopefully you get a desktop ;) [04:26] Neconide, sorry... i wouldnt know anything about linksys wifi adapters, my suggestion is try intrepid livecd cause every new release adds more hardware support. chances are intrepid might support it [04:26] droopsta915, honestly I would reinstall, /ssh shouldn't be there unless you put there yourself [04:26] i think i got it thanks for the help [04:27] izinucs, It appears to be getting worse with time, so I don't think that it could be a configuration issue. It may be, but how would I check? [04:27] usser: mouse is still effed [04:27] bbl [04:27] put it* there [04:27] headcheese_, argh [04:27] bebal [04:27] you are all from Romania because other people would be nuts to be awake so early [04:27] trevor, not sure just throwing suggestions out there. === darkbishop_ is now known as darkdeeper [04:27] <_mak> can i mount my /home in the /var/home?

[04:28] headcheese_, sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade [04:28] usser: how? [04:28] droopsta915, I'm not sure, but if thats there and you didn't create it, there could be other things wrong [04:28] usser: okay [04:29] mwilson_, You don't. Gnome doesn't allow you to change settings, because it might be too confusing... [04:29] Is there an swf flash file player besides swfdec? I am looking for something which has a progress bar that you can use to advance forward or go back to different parts of the video [04:29] thanx for the help, appretiated very much [04:29] extor, use VLC [04:29] extor, it can do anything [04:29] usser: oh sorry I didn't see what you said before, thanks for the suggestion.

And, no, I'm not kidding. That's one of the BIG problems most people have with Gnome. [04:31] word is prefetched [04:31] i mean, on openoffice i cannot scroll smoothly when operating with big documents, like 10 pages [04:32] if you just want word [04:32] usser: okay finished installing updates [04:32] hey guys is there a youtube-dl for dailymotion ?

I am just fed up. All I want to do is play my games and surf the fucking web. I mig [04:44] ht try out OSX> [04:44] ech0dish: but it was working fine under ubuntu prior to that? or have you only had ubuntu for a week or so?

[04:45] usser: at least the games I want to play are supported by OSX. [04:46] darkdeeper: basically... add files to cd/dvd creator folder ---> click write to disk ---> wait 20min to calculate size---> start burning [04:46] heh [04:46] i know fluxbox too but want something inbetween flux and gnome perhaps [04:46] Can anyone help me with some USB wireless adapter issues I'm having with Ubuntu?

[04:46] nibsa1242, did u copy from cd to cd or just some file... i think maybe the copywrite thing [04:47] ech0dish: xfce is probably what you're looking for [04:47] hosstest, no problem sorry it didnt work out [04:47] So... I'm on a PowerPC computer. I do not want to install linux on this computer. I want to boot off of a Linux PPC LiveCD and use the USB Ubuntu Install tool that is available on the LiveCD, but as far as I can tell the PPC CD is only the installer. [04:47] My flash drive does not work in Ubuntu. It did three days ago, but as of today, it doesn't. It is FAT32 and works fine in Vista and XP but not in Ubuntu. Even Ubuntu Hardy LiveCD it doesn't respond. Gparted and sudo fdisk -l show nothing about it. Any ideas, anybody? [04:47] usser: not a prob. Later bud. [04:47] is that whats on xubuntu? [04:47] usser helps like 50 people at the same time o_o it's pretty incredible [04:47] NB, startX or service gdm start [04:47] what is xubuntu?

[04:47] ech0dish: yes [04:48] how can i configure an xsession file error [04:48] <_2> ech0dish xubuntu uses xfce4 yes. [04:48] kool [04:48] what the fish is xfce? [04:48] so just apt-get install xfce [04:48] Anyone? [04:48] hm. considering how flaky our VPN gets about midnight, I'll have to chicken out of that [04:48] <_2> darkdeeper a desktop [04:48] darkdeeper: for some reason when i try to log in at the TTY it just presents me with the login again, as if i've entered them wrong.. when i intentionally enter incorrect credentials though, i get an 'incorrect' message. [04:48] anyone know the name of the package? [04:48] xfce? [04:49] xfce4 perhaps? [04:49] xfce-desktop perhaps [04:49] ech0dish: they're all the same though. just installing xfce and setting it as your default DE would suffice [04:49] NB have u try it in other tty... [04:49] yeah it's 4 [04:49] bleh, sorry, i'm getting lag over here for some reason [04:49] anyone, im working on ubuntu 810 and im looking for a dock bar that i had on 804 i think its called avant window navigator for some reason i cant fin it in the package manager. any suggestions? [04:49] ech0dish: normally just apt-get installing xubuntu-desktop will get it in place for you [04:49] it's goin with xfce4 [04:50] My flash drive does not work in Ubuntu. It did three days ago, but as of today, it doesn't. It is FAT32 and works fine in Vista and XP but not in Ubuntu. Even Ubuntu Hardy LiveCD it doesn't respond. Gparted and sudo fdisk -l show nothing about it. Any ideas, anybody? [04:50] Anyone know how I can boot Ubuntu off of a CD on a PPC processor? [04:50] tyso1, sudo apt-get install avant-window-navigator [04:50] darkdeeper: i just did a hard reset, and selected a different kernel in grub and now it seems to be booting up normally.... that was scary! [04:50] hope it works well, gnome is kinda sluggish on my old lappy [04:50] as it is, i'll wait till i'm in tomorrow to kick off that Hardy upgrade [04:50] JohnWittle, u'd need a PPC version..

[05:07] maybe your ISP sucks really hard [05:07] raven: ok i think we've veered towards -offtopic [05:07] lol [05:07] sf6: ext2 for windows has a problem, which is that its NOT ext3 for windows. it WORKS, but if you modify the disk you loose the journal. [05:07] sf6: ntfs has a problem that a) if you shutdown windows uncleanly, you cannot even mount it, and b) it doesnt support unix style permissions [05:08] Neconide: the hardware drivers are in use, do you see green or red dot? [05:08] JohnWittle: i'd hardly call it a theory [05:08] chubs: most likely it is reality [05:08] droopsta915: they are not displayed. [05:08] Rubin, i put things on my EXT3 from windows just fine and it still works... [05:08] _2: wrong person? [05:08] sf6: i tried to do that for a while, and finally gave up entirely and now use a fileserver for data which maps with samba. [05:08] Rubin, i used some tool... [05:09] <_2> Rubin and sf6 vfat has a problem too file size limit [05:09] _2: oh i see, i meant 6 hours- [05:09] Rubin, oh and u can mount it, just -o force works fine [05:09] Rubin, for ntfs [05:09] Leave it to Neconide to have a bum ass ubuntu install. [05:09] could someone tell me why when i install xfonts-jmk, i don't see the new fonts listed in any font list? even after running fc-cache -fv? [05:09] <_2> chubs heh. six weeks for me. [05:09] raven, there is a reason they dont have you do that automatically :P [05:09] is there something weird/deprecated about xfonts? [05:09] Rubin, bah, and what wud that be? nothing bad happened to me, they just piss me off by not doing it auto.. [05:09] if you have a large data disk, the last thing you want to do is take chances with it [05:09] Neconide: sorry, I haven't experienced this so I cant further assist, you. Ask again, someone out there has had the same problem. sorry [05:09] if I'm on a PowerBook G4, will the hardy heron live cd come with enough drivers to use the wireless card? [05:09] or am i fucked? [05:10] Rubin, i mount mine like that on a daily basis and always reboot with the reset button [05:10] Rubin, no problems. [05:10] JohnWittle, i'm sure someone has tried it before you. check around google etc and see what they say [05:10] raven, lack of problems is not proof of stability :P [05:10] meh [05:10] :p [05:10] any ext4 experts around? [05:10] there's an ext4? [05:10] wow. [05:10] i thot ext3 was still pretty new [05:10] ext4 is in early alpha [05:11] its not 'usable' [05:11] Has anyone experienced the hardware manager not displaying drivers? My wireless USB adapter isn't displayed and won't search for networks. [05:11] it's 'gold' in the next kernel [05:11] <_2> raven ext3 is not new. [05:11] Neconide, try googling the model number and 'ubuntu' or 'linux' and see if its even supported [05:11] is there no longer a ##freebsd on freenode? [05:11] so I wouldn't consider it not 'usable' any more, but it is new [05:11] rubin: so does it make your ext3 partition into an ext2 partition? or does it just not use the journal, thus being somewhat unsafe? [05:11] _2, well there was only ext2, then i didnt use linux much for a few years, then there was ext3.. [05:11] Rubin: it is [05:11] Rubin: No USB devices are being displayed. [05:12] mib_4xdqy3: this is not the right channel to look for an ext4 expert [05:12] Neconide, in lsusb? [05:12] <_2> raven i was using ext3 in 2001 i think. [05:12] mib_4xdqy3, perhaps #ext4? or #ext [05:12] chubs:: no one is around on the 'right' channels :( [05:12] Rubin: yes [05:12] mib_4xdqy3, try ##linux [05:12] sf6: its not unsafe, just requires a fsck [05:12] or answering at least [05:12] rubin ty im gonna read that and try to fix it ty for responding [05:13] bella, wish i could make it easy for you, but trouble like that is one of the hardest things to deal with, if your new to linux :/ [05:14] #ubuntu-india [05:14] mib_4xdqy3, my understanding is that ext4 is only ready to be used at all by people that are developers of it. if your trying to troubleshoot a problem you are probably not advised to use it yet at all.

I need to dual boot and I have a fairly small Hard drive and I need to encrypt my shared partition so that's what raises the question.

[05:25] Rubin, How do you do it from a command line ? [05:25] sillyn00b, there are very few tools that can do that cross platform like that [05:26] mikematic, the file in /boot/grub/menu.1st is what controls that menu [05:26] <_2> sf6 worse how ? [05:26] sf6: fat32 is the most common fs for a "shared partition". ntfs can work too, now that linux has rw ntfs support, though. [05:26] _2: ntfs is worse for hard reset even with windows? [05:26] mikematic, what are you up to exactly? [05:26] Rubin: Know the name of one off hand? [05:26] ntfs is better for hard reset than fat32 in my experience [05:26] <_2> sf6 in my experance, yes.

[05:47] mrg_, have both try to ping the router [05:47] ok go in terminal and try to give access to your user then..i used to have problems with home directory when i switched distros, but usually i got warnings about inaccessible files [05:47] @nkr [05:48] Rubin: hm, good idea. the linux box fails to ping the router. i have two ethernet ports on it and only one is configured/being used. maybe it's trying to ping out of the wrong one? [05:48] mrg_, ifconfig should tell you if theres a link [05:49] mrg_, though, i guess thats driver dependant... [05:49] Rubin: i know it sees the router somehow bc it connects fine to the internet via that router. i'll check ifconfig output.. not sure how to see if there's a link [05:49] oh [05:49] Rubin: After I try logging in I get the remote access box, when i hit enter, i see the error message. these are the details. [05:50] mrg_, hmm. paste the output of ifconfig, and route -n on both boxes to pastebin.ca [05:50] meyos, before you log in, there is an option menu. [05:50] meyos, did you look in there? [05:51] Rubin: http://pastebin.ca/1262065 [05:51] Rubin: what should i look for? [05:51] Does anyone know why my audio won't work in firefox even though I have no other programs open using audio? (Or does anyone know how I can test to see why this is the case?) [05:51] Disk Mounter applet shows the label of /dev/sda6 as 'WinLinux' but why does GParted not show this label also? === qbmaniac is now known as qb|away [05:52] Rubin: that's the linux box, the other pings the router fine (and is running winxp) [05:52] Hi everyone! [05:52] how are yoU? [05:52] men!! [05:52] meyos, mine has a 'remote xdmc' option [05:52] meyos, sorta feels like you toggled that by mistake [05:52] Or does anyone know anything pertaining to using sound in firefox? [05:52] mrg_, winXP may not respond to pings by default... [05:53] mrg_, why does eth1 have an IP address? [05:53] Rubin: i'm trying to ping ubuntu box from winxp [05:53] Rubin: going back to droopsta915 user, ill see if i can change the session. [05:53] Rubin: be back after restart. [05:54] Rubin: i'll try removing all config from that unused eth port, ok. [05:54] Hi you have the possibility to add your ip table execution script in your interfaces file and then you should be able to excecute the script however this doesn't seem to work when you use a server (or most likely I do something wrong) can someone help me out with this [05:55] 66 [05:55] paul68, its been a really long time since i played with that. I'm pretty sure it works. have you looked at the docs for the interfaces file? [05:56] mrg_, are you using dhcp on those? or hard-coding them? [05:56] hi [05:56] 212 [05:56] Rubin: i did "ifconfig eth0 down".. just making sure this is ok ? [05:56] 234234324 [05:56] 234234 [05:56] sohue: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [05:56] 234 [05:57] o_O [05:57] 24 [05:57] Rubin: hard coded [05:57] 24 [05:57] sohue: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [05:57] 43 [05:57] 234 [05:57] 23 [05:57] 4234 [05:57] 234 [05:57] sohue: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [05:57] Anyone using eee-control on 8.10 having a problem with the performance settings being available? [05:57] mrg_, that is ok, but generally i'd do 'ifdown eth0' then edit /etc/network/interfaces, then 'ifup eth0' .. thats the 'debian way' (and ubuntu is based on debian) [05:57] What is the minimum amount of time I should wait before re-asking a question? [05:57] mikebot, i'm not sure on the rules, but if you dont get an answer, i would try posting on the forums [05:57] Rubin: I read this article http://www.linuxforums.org/forum/linux-security/43065-iptables-start-boot-debian3-1-a.html see last post however I work with the terminal so I don't have network manager [05:58] Rubin: The forum is just so slow.. do you knwo anythign about audio in ubuntu? [05:59] paul68, did you make the script you created executable with chmod? [05:59] mikebot, are you using alsa? [05:59] mikebot, only a little. i remember seeing a thing on the ubunt site with really in-depth audio troubleshooting guide though. or did you try that already? [05:59] binarymutant: I'm not sure--I don't know what that is. [06:00] Rubin: yes I did [06:00] Rubin: I have not tried that. [06:00] Rubin: /etc/network/interfaces ... just change address to 0.0.0.0 or what? how about the line "auto eth0" ? [06:00] paul68, so in the terminal, if you do 'ifdown eth0' and then 'ifup eth0' does it print any errors? [06:00] mikebot, sudo apt-get install alsa-base alsa-utils [06:01] mrg_, to make it dhcp? [06:01] binarymutant: What is that? [06:01] mrg_, you'd change 'static' to 'dhcp' and delete all the address, netmask, network, etc configuration lines [06:01] Rubin: nah, just to have eth0 inactivated and make sure it's not getting in the way [06:01] mikebot, it installs alsa, the linux sound server [06:01] mrg_, oh. remove eth0 auto line, and comment out everything to do with it [06:01] mikebot, just type it into a terminal [06:02] binarymutant: alsa-base is already the newest version. [06:02] Rubin: ok thanks. will try that. [06:02] binarymutant: Same for the other. [06:02] mikebot, type alsamixer into a terminal since it's installed [06:02] Rubin: no I get the same box, not in xdmc, go to /usr/share/xsession and open the remot connection so you can see what box im talking about [06:02] binarymutant: Got it. [06:03] mikebot, if it says MM it's muted, 00 if it's not [06:03] Rubin: comment = "#" ? [06:03] droopsta915, in /usr/share/xsession/ there are 2 shortcut files. they are not ment to be run directly [06:03] binarymutant: Says 00 === Kwitschibo_ is now known as Kwitschibo [06:03] does anyone know of an html editor/web-development tool (preferably something close to as powerful as dreamweaver?) [06:03] rand0mabo, vim [06:03] rand0mabo, :P [06:04] i might have to reinstall if i dont fix it [06:04] droopsta915, try moving that file to another name [06:04] droopsta915, dont re-install. worst case you can move your home directory away and create an empty one [06:04] binarymutant: My audio works--I'm listening to something in VLC right now... It's just that it doesn't work from firefox. Even if there is no other application open playing audio. [06:05] a shitty answer is still a shitty answer - even with a :P [06:05] :D [06:05] mikebot, when you say firefox, you mean flash? [06:05] Rubin: Yes, a flash plugin in firefox, sorry. [06:05] rand0mabo, its :P because i know you wont like it. but its a real answer, because do web dev and i use it almost exclusively. [06:06] Rubin:des ubuntu have a restore point option? [06:06] mikebot, ok I'm trying to find where you can change the sound in firefox, if your using flash it sometimes screws up, but not everytime [06:06] Rubin: that did it... somehow that unused eth port was causing the pings to fail... i wonder why that would have anything to do with it since all my communication is going (correctly) through the other ethernet port.. ? [06:06] mikebot, if you search on trouble with pulseaudio and flash plugin, you may have some good hits. mine worked out of the box though. [06:06] droopsta915, no [06:06] binarymutant: Thank you. [06:06] Rubin: Thanks. [06:06] Rubin, i know full-well what your intention was.. I'm glad you take the time to code by hand if it serves your purpose. [06:06] Does anyone know if the airplane plugin is built into ACSM? I am using Compiz-Fusion and trying to find the airplane plugin but don't know where to download it and Google isn't showing much... Didn't see anthing about it in the ACSM manger [06:06] thanks for your help [06:06] Anyone known CPUS programing ? === nathan_murr is now known as NathanMurr [06:08] rand0mabo, theres nothing for linux nearly as full featured as dreamweaver. bluefish, aptana, seamonkey's wysiwyg i think called kompozer [06:08] mikebot, have you tried restarting firefox? [06:08] Rubin, Quanta Plus and Nvu no good? they seem to be at the top of lists i'm finding on google but *shrug* [06:08] binarymutant: Yes. [06:09] rand0mabo, i owned a real commercial copy of quanta at one time. its okay.. but no wysiwyg and hasnt really been improved lately [06:09] fair enough [06:09] and, if you dont need a wysiwyg, then vim may be more reasonable answer yet ;) [06:10] I'm still quite new to ubuntu - not at all ready for command line web design yet [06:10] heh [06:10] binarymutant: Ah you know what, I think I'm able to just download the file from the site, so I guess I'm alright. [06:10] rand0mabo: I use gedit to write all my web pages, it has some nice features including syntax hilighting [06:11] sorry I couldn't help, this stuff used to be a lot easier in firefox 2 [06:11] rand0mabo, ahh. let me share a lil story with you about vim. http://www.mit.edu/~yandros/doc/tc-hack-zen.html [06:12] haha i don't intend to achieve zen-like states while coding. thx.. my life expands a bit beyond internets [06:12] binarymutant: No worries, thanks for trying, I really do appreciate it. [06:12] binarymutant: Have a good night. Cheers [06:12] hi, does anyone know how i can find out the alsa version, (command etc) [06:13] Rubin: Thanks again, goodnight. [06:13] mikebot, did you try killall -9 esd yet? [06:13] rand0mabo, read past the hippy bs in there. the point is that in vi, you can move around and work without taking yoru hand off the keyboard and your eyes off your code; this results in much higher productivity once you get the muscle memory. anyway off topic for here, but dont discount it so easily. [06:13] rubin: it seems my alsa isn't in the supported list :( [06:13] duckabolo, oh no [06:14] duckabolo, er. what? alsa is a sound driver framework isn't it? [06:14] how to install GTK+ theme engine ? [06:15] Rubin, I meant nothing by it. We're just sort of going way beyond my needs/intentions when getting into that. But I do understand, and appreciate your input [06:15] rubin: my soundcard isn't supported by alsa [06:15] rubin: i've checked http://www.alsa-project.org/main/index.php/Matrix:Main and ich9 isn't there [06:15] there are sound cards not supported by alsa? [06:16] rand0mabo, elaborate on your needs some more? [06:16] anyone use startupmanager? [06:16] hey all [06:17] duckabolo, hmm. i'm not real knowledgable about sound, sorry [06:17] I am trying to run UT2004 [06:17] and I am getting an error [06:17] rubin: i did an lspci and the following audio ... http://paste.ubuntu.com/74655/ [06:17] rubin; that's fine [06:17] it says that there is an error when trying to load shared libraries: libstdc++.so.5: no such file or directory [06:18] does anyone know what could have caused this error? [06:18] install libstdc++? [06:18] I tried, but apt-get said that the package could not be found [06:18] unr3a1, that means you do not have the binary library on the system which that program was compiled to need [06:19] it's there [06:19] i just searched, sever versions of libstdc++ [06:19] several [06:19] Rubin, my needs need no elaboration. In my original question by simply stating, "something along the lines of dreamweaver", i think would suffice to say i'm walking on very very simple lines. [06:19] unr3a1, try: apt-get install libstdc++5 [06:19] well, apt-get doesn't have it. means I am gonna have to compile from source... [06:19] rubin: hold [06:19] aptitude install libstdc++5 [06:19] that worked. [06:19] unr3a1, apt does have it [06:19] how do you search the servers for the file? [06:20] Rubin, no worries, i can tell you're just quite adept with all this stuff and probably don't even remember the simple-side to linux :P [06:20] just way way way above my head :) [06:20] rand0mabo, yes but failing dreamweaver clone, are you doing strict html dev? do you need the live preview and/or wysiwyg aspects of it? or is it the menu/button macro stuff you want? [06:20] rand0mabo, come on i'm not that far in the clouds [06:20] Rubin, to be honest, i like just copying & pasting and seeing atleast an immediate idea of what it'll look like finished - without having to save, upload, test [06:20] Rubin, haha that's not at all what i'm saying.. it's more than i'm near the bottom of the ocean :P [06:20] unr3a1, in synaptic hit search [06:21] <-- win xp user pretending to figure out linux by using ubuntu [06:21] avoiding command lines at all costs [06:21] rand0mabo, try out seamonkey composer [06:21] command line, aptitude search [06:22] Yeah I just installed it - it pretty much suits my needs. Perhaps when I feel like stretching my limits a bit, i'll look at vim a bit more in depth. the little bit i read when googling it blew my mind so.... [06:22] rand0mabo, oh, and theres another i forgot about ,called 'screem' but i can't remember if it had previewing [06:22] rand0mabo: I used to be that way until I learned that command line is faster and more powerful, now I prefer command line work :) [06:22] rand0mabo, you should attempt to learn, you will get to the point to do things which is alot quicker than gui's [06:22] ok [06:22] I got it to run [06:22] rand0mabo, you'll turn to the dark side eventually, i'v no worries :P [06:23] however, there is no sound, and when I go into the display settings, it looks are fubarred up... [06:23] and I got this at the terminal: http://rafb.net/p/gQoGo626.html [06:23] haha the time i'd spend in the learning curve wouldn't be worth it in the long run.. i just make simple little websites for fun. [06:23] i have yet to actually upload one [06:23] anyone use startupmanager? [06:23] rand0mabo, use gedit [06:23] apparently you missed the beginning of the conversation [06:23] but thanks [06:24] gedit is graphical :P [06:24] oh pardon me then [06:24] huh? [06:24] no, it's a text editor [06:24] what is XiG-SUNDRY-NONSTANDARD extension? [06:24] kindofabuzz, i knew that. hence the underlying smugness of my reply [06:25] how do you install a gtk engine that comes as a tar.gz [06:25] unr3a1, sorry you may have to try a UT forum or something for that [06:25] if you can't do html in an editor before you go to an IDE, you shouldn't even be doing it, the web has enough crappy sits already. just my 2 cents [06:26] photomaniac, for a theme? [06:26] photomaniac, system->appearance, theme tab, install... [06:26] hmm [06:26] it doesn't seem that UT runs in a full screen mode [06:26] rand0mabo: yeah screem works well [06:26] causing the app to still have my appbar at the top to display [06:27] Yes. a friend of mine is new to ubuntu and he is trying to install a maclooking theme that requires the aqua gtk engine and he found it and is trying to install [06:27] photomaniac, ohhhhhh [06:28] photomaniac, does the site you got it from not have some instructions? [06:29] also just for personal clarification how do you install a program/application that is a tar file. [06:29] he didn't find any instructions on the theme. i havn't looked at it yet. [06:29] photomaniac, tar files are like zip files. you untar them with the 'tar' command in the terminal, or with the archive manager [06:30] photomaniac, for example, if it was a tar.gz (or tgz) its also compressed, you'd do: tar -xzf myfile.tgz [06:30] alright, well, thank you for all the help [06:30] and that would put its contents into wherever you were when you ran it [06:30] k thanks. what are the xzf options that you listed. [06:31] man tar [06:31] photomaniac: x=extract, z=gzip compression, f=file [06:31] photomaniac, BUT, i think for some gtk theme stuff, it accepts the theme in the tar without extracting it. so you will have to research it (or maybe someone else knows better than me) [06:31] 这里大家都在说英语 [06:31] how do I find my Xserver version? [06:32] X --version doesn't work :( [06:32] xorg -version [06:32] Rubin, thanks for the info. i have also seen instructions for some of the programs that have you ./configure and set a prefix and then use the make command and then the make install command. what is the diffence and which is the best way to do it. [06:32] shirish, you do apt-cache showpkg xserver-xorg [06:32] could* do [06:32] shirish xdpyinfo [06:33] netuser: thank you [06:34] y do my pidgin alwiz chesh [06:34] photomaniac, that process with the ./configure is 'compiling' [06:34] I have a problem with mysql(lamp). I seem to have forgotten my root password. how can I reset it? [06:34] photomaniac, you almost always want to not do that, but instead find the ubuntu specific package for things instead. its easy to break your system if you compile and install things yourself as root (unless you kinda know what your doing) [06:34] I have an Asus G50V laptop with an Intel 8281l (ICH9) sound chip. I have only a small amount of static in my headphones. Volumes are up all the way and I've configured everything to the nines. I'm at a loss. [06:34] reinstall ur lamp [06:35] reinstall? :X [06:35] sparq__, do you have data in mysql you care about? [06:35] no [06:35] I dont [06:35] Rubin: well, thanks for the help :) can finally get some sleep. [06:36] Rubin, do most programs in the form of tar need compiling or do some of them do it with the tar command. sometimes its hard for me to find the packages or programs i want in a .deb [06:36] sparq__, apt-get remove --purge mysql-server; then delete /var/lib/mysql, then install it again. [06:36] Firefishe, got the same problem... nvr actually tot tat would be a problem to... i just ignore it.. dont use it to play movie tho.. but if someone help. would be nice tooo [06:36] kk [06:36] photomaniac, tar is just a collection of files [06:36] Rubin: thanks [06:36] darkdeeper: I need my sound ;) [06:36] photomaniac, .deb is a package for debian or ubuntu [06:36] photomaniac, .tar is completely generic can be anything else [06:37] photomaniac: you really should check the repos before compiling, the repos for Ubuntu are huge and the app you want might be in there; apt-cache search app_name [06:37] most tar program need to be compile [06:37] well actually all of them [06:37] what should my window login be set to, xscript or gnome? [06:37] darkdeeper, i have a tar here with photos from a party. that doesnt make any sense. [06:37] droopsta915, gnome [06:37] Rubin, i have been trying to get my card reader going so that i can use it to access my military site and almost all of the packages are installable through the package manager but i havent found how to configure them with out compiling from a tar. [06:38] Rubin, its not a program dude.... [06:38] photomaniac, that may be an activity you'll have to get pretty familiar with linux to accomplish [06:38] photomaniac, how bout if we try it for u...hehehe [06:39] photomaniac, how are you on the commandline? :) [06:39] Rubin, thanks for those apt options i always thought that the apt-get install would find any available packages you ask for. === bruenig is now known as phirk [06:39] photomaniac, yeah rubin is right.. sometimes tar dont have compile or make or make install... so this is something you have to exprience ur self how to get past it [06:40] im ok with command line. i can find my way around directories and with instruction can usually figure out most commands. my problem is understanding the man pages for the commands i am trying to work with. [06:40] most source code is distributed in a tar. but you cant say that most tars are source code. [06:40] photomaniac, man pages are like wine. you kinda grow into them with practice [06:41] what the fish [06:41] tar is just the newer form of ar or archiving with additional features of compressions and additional stuff [06:41] man page like wine?u mean the wine program or the wine that u drink.. [06:41] photomaniac, (by that i mean, i understand, i remember hating them when i started out, but now i love them and really appreciate their breivity) [06:41] darkdeeper, drink :) === phirk is now known as bruenig [06:41] Rubin, not tats make a lot of sense... [06:41] is there a "better" alternative to wine? [06:42] Dominik2, what type of wine.. drink or program? [06:42] Rubin, I understand the basics of them but i tend to have trouble understanding the syntax examples they have. [06:42] Dominik2, crossover office is a commercial version based on wine that has slightly more support for some microsoft applications [06:43] photomaniac, only way to learn is to read em a few times and ask someone. [06:43] Dominik2, you can also run windows in a box on your desktop (or seamless) using virtualbox [06:43] Dominik2, virtualbox or vmware [06:44] Hi I have installed 8.10 with wubi strangely DVD playback, rhythmbox visualization and totem visualisation are all jerky. (I have all the necessary codecs for dvd) Has anybody ideas? [06:44] photomaniac -> you can star with ar to get a feel [06:44] start* [06:44] wow. iv been using *nix for 10+ years and I never heard of 'ar' till just now. [06:44] i just now found out this irc thing and it is great. i am one of the few people in my dorm and school who uses linux and finding someone who knows command line well and has the time to explain the man pages [06:44] thanks n8tuser :) [06:44] what is ar [06:45] photomaniac -> ar for archiving, you can man ar to get more detailed explanation [06:45] hello everybody [06:45] thanks guys, but do I really have to run the entire OS? all I really wanna do is get the MS suit to work, and wine isn't to great about that [06:45] someone here familiar with pam.d? [06:46] n8tusr, thanks i will look into it. [06:46] Dominik2, crossover runs word, excel, and powerpoint from office 2003 fairly well. [06:46] im almost out of time so i have to go. thanks for all the help everyone! [06:46] Dominik2, if you want 2007 to work, you gotta emulate the whole OS [06:47] Dominik2, have you considered openoffice.org instead? [06:47] Rubin: is that that vista bull? im not good with the version numbers [06:47] Rubin: crossover? [06:47] Dominik2, http://www.codeweavers.com/ [06:47] my webcam is really dark...can someone help? [06:47] Rubin: yes I have, it is the photomanager that draws my GF back to the MS suite [06:48] Rubin -> really? you've never heard of ar eh? well just an fyi, after tar, and java came out, they have jar :) [06:48] Dominik2, has she trie picasa? [06:48] n8tuser, isnt jar just a zip file ? [06:48] can sum1 send me an invite: irc.p2p-net.eu [06:49] Rubin -> its pretty much like tar but has perhaps additional features for metapackage info.. [06:49] what? crossover is not open source? [06:49] or metadatabase.. [06:49] Dominik2, its commercial ($$) [06:49] like manifest [06:49] Rubin: picasa is online isn't it? [06:49] how bout tar? [06:49] Dominik2, it has a linux native client, if i recall [06:50] Dominik2, http://picasa.google.com/linux/ [06:50] oh well, will it help wine if I supply it all the dlls that come with windows? [06:51] Dominik2, theres also a photo manager called f-spot but i dont like it [06:51] Dominik2 what programme are you trying to install with wine? [06:51] Rubin: you might like gthumb better [06:52] Dominik2, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=569328 [06:52] ardchoille, i baught a copy of bibble lite, and started shooting in RAW, so im set now [06:52] ok === ZakK-- is now known as thebleh [06:54] picasa is huge.. and my internet is poor man's internet [06:55] Is there a way to hide the tabs in gedit [06:55] ?

[07:56] Ubuntu seems to do a lot of updates with large amounts of data... does any of this data replace existing data, or is it all piled on top? Is there any way to clean out the old data? I have a feeling my recent (and serious) problems might be due to running out of file space. (although I don't know how to check available space on my system partition) [07:57] sudo apt-get autoclean [07:57] law__: how many other computers on the lan?

[07:57] 3 [07:57] eightyeight, can you pastebin me those logs? [07:57] hischild: sure. hold on [07:57] 1 xubuntu , 2winxp [07:57] law__: what happens if you unplug the other xp? [07:58] hischild: what do you want? dmesg? /var/log/dmesg? /var/log/messages? [07:58] eightyeight, dmesg please. [07:58] unplug the other xp-> what do u mean? === adit_1 is now known as boy21 [07:58] arg... why are there installed apps that don't appear in the GUI? [07:59] law__: grab the ethernet cable on the back of the other xp, apply pressure to the clip, and remove the ethernet cord from the system, thus disconnecting it from the network. will the other xp system be able to ping xubuntu now? [07:59] Trab: uh... I can't seem to find autoclean... [07:59] its autoremove [08:00] What? [08:00] Chaotic_Descent, sudo apt-get autoremove [08:01] hello friends! How i can use printer over local? [08:01] ... why was I told to get autoclean? [08:01] So, I need to replace my xserver and xorg with the originals from the LiveCD - can anyone tell me how I go about doing that? [08:01] hischild: http://pastebin.ca/1262231 [08:01] Chaotic_Descent, to clean out your disk of packages that were downloaded for updates for example. [08:02] hello all [08:02] again [08:02] who tell me, the console default is 80x40, how to set up 100x80 and I don't used x window. [08:02] Chaotic_Descent: Like which apps? [08:02] k [08:02] its not working the internet is not working and i tryed what Gnea said [08:02] Flannel: like autoclean [08:03] Hi [08:03] hischild: in this case, you can see it's attempting permissive. that was my last boot, attempting it to load at least to that point [08:03] Chaotic_Descent: autoclean isn't an app, its a feature of apt-get [08:04] else question, I login to ubuntu via ttyS0, I used vt220, it still is 80x40. [08:04] I'm at work now but: I've installed ubuntu at home but I can't get the network to work. When I boot it says I'm connected (automatic DHCP) but it's not, when I restart the network service it can't connect [08:05] I've tried manual method, which says connected but I can't ping another PC in the network [08:05] sudo dhclient eth0 [08:06] I suggest you 'ifconfig' to show your ip. [08:06] eightyeight, yes. It would appear to load, correct? [08:07] and sudo iptables -L [08:07] hischild: it looks like it, but 'getenforce' reports disabled, and 'setenforce 1' fails, mentioning the same- disabled [08:08] how can I see the used and available space for my system partition? I can't seem to do it by looking at the properties of the "filesystem" [08:10] cd.. [08:10] Chaotic_Descent, df -h [08:11] eightyeight, Those commands, at least from what i'm reading here, are for FC and RH. I need a second to do some digging up on this, been some time. A moment [08:12] how do I know what drivers are loaded for my network? [08:12] hischild: getenforce and setenforce should just be querying the /selinux filesystem. both are part of the selinux-utils package, btw [08:13] I found a website on steps to clean up your files and it's talking about localepurge and languages... but I have like a dozen en listings... [08:13] wath program converter a jar to jad ? [08:13] is "en" the only one I want selected to keep, or all the "en" ones? [08:14] it still can't ping to xubuntu [08:14] nevermind. stupid question. there's a popup that describes it. [08:14] law__, may i ask what the problem is? [08:15] Hi everyone i need a tutorial on how to install windows xp using virtualbox on ubuntu, i cant find a good tutorial [08:15] Could someone please help me, I just updated to 8.10 and its rewritten my xorg config and now i'm stuck in the dreaded 800x600, I resolved this last time by using a GUI to select the Vesa driver and desired resolution, does anyone know how to find it?? [08:15] QtQ, some java compiler i quess [08:15] *guess [08:15] FuLio: the virtualbox install of windows is very similar to a normal install of windows. Windows questions should be in ##windows [08:15] man I feel good [08:15] jim_p, i dont see any program mf [08:16] the MySQL admin GUI tool was throwing up weird errors, so I logged in via the console and did everything by hand [08:16] QtQ, wait i will find you one. i guess eclipse can do it [08:16] skeletor: did you try going into recovery mode and selecting "Fix my X" or something similar? [08:16] the problem is from winxp can't ping to xubuntu [08:16] I've just been using Ubuntu for 3 hours and already I am developing a radiant glow [08:16] but from xubuntu can ping to winxp [08:16] hello all of you [08:16] QtQ, eclipse it is [08:16] is there anyway to make voice chat in ubuntu for yahoo users [08:16] eightyeight, perhaps a stupid question, but have you tried to boot directly into enforce mode? [08:17] QtQ, the rest rely on your java knowledge [08:17] Can anyone help me, I can't seem to boot into another partition by default. [08:17] Synchronos, grub error? [08:17] !ssh [08:17] SSH is the Secure SHell protocol. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSHHowto for usage. Putty is a nice SSH client for Windows; it can be found at http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/ [08:17] tnx a hour [08:17] Synchronos: did you try gyach? [08:18] jim_p I tried configuring grub but hasn't worked. [08:18] deep_: did you try gyach? [08:18] Synchronos: wrong person sorry [08:18] deep_, with pidgin, no. look for some other client [08:18] how can i get apt-update to work? [08:18] yes i did but [08:18] ziroday: No not yet, Last time I spent ages finding the appropriate drivers and adding them to the xorg conf etc etc, none of the methods worked however this GUI I used worked first time I just cant seem to find it in any of the menus [08:18] ziroday I don't know about gyach [08:18] apt-get update is giving me problems [08:19] i got voip cheap work through ekigasoft phone but not for yahoo [08:19] there is one file i want to copy all text in that file then i can paste it on pastebin how can i do tha? [08:19] hischild: yes. many times [08:19] pallu, errors for timed out server connections? [08:19] Synchronos: wrong person, sorry :). You added the "savedefault" option to the menu.lst correct? [08:19] W: Failed to fetch http://download.tuxfamily.org/syzygy42/dists/feisty/avant-window-navigator/source/Sources.gz 404 Not Found [08:19] skeletor: the gui you used has been phased out. The new way is using the Fix My X option in the recovery area [08:19] eightyeight, What does it do if you try? Still boot into permissive mode? [08:20] how come cleaning up files is such a complicated process? shouldn't it be automatic? and for that matter, why didn't some alert come up when I was running out of file space instead of the system glitching? [08:20] pallu: that is an externel repo, contact the repo's author to find out my it doesn't work [08:20] hischild: no. still boots into disabled mode. [08:20] pallu, this url does not exist (404 - not found). what ubuntu version are you on? [08:20] ziroday: no I haven't [08:20] deep_: also take a look at Gyach Enhanced [08:20] Synchronos: well then how did you configure it? [08:20] thanks ziroday i will try that one too [08:20] eightyeight, and echo "1" >/selinux/enforce doesn't switch modes?

[08:21] 8.0.4 [08:21] there is one file i want to copy all text in that file then i can paste it on pastebin how can i do tha? [08:21] hischild: not if you're in disabled. selinux engrains itself so much into the system, that reboots are required to get in and out of selinux [08:21] Synchronos: cant you pastebin your menu.list please [08:21] ziroday: hmm ok, do I have to use the cd to do it now then? [08:21] pallu, because this repo is for 7.10 version! i suggest you go to sources.list and delete it before it causes problems [08:21] ziroday: ok hold on [08:21] eightyeight, I'm sorry i should be more clear. I meant once booted into permissive mode, can you use that to switch? [08:21] skeletor: nope, it should be one of the grub options as booting up. It will have the word recovery in it [08:22] ziroday: ok thanks buddy, i'll give it a go [08:22] skeletor: good luck :) [08:22] hischild: i have not had any successful boot into selinux, enforcing or permissive. it's _always_ been disabled [08:23] i tray to compilare kavmonitor and i get this error : checking for mod reg security...configure: error: "Cannot resolve symbol mod reg security" [08:23] does anybody know when i adjust the brightness my pc freezes?? [08:23] why pc freezes? [08:23] sken, is it on ati? [08:23] eightyeight, wait, so it hasn't been loaded at all? despite that it shows it being loaded? hmm .... and cat /selinux/enforce doesn't give you anything? [08:23] Hi all, [08:24] does anybody know why when i adjust the brightness my pc freezes?? [08:24] hischild: correct. as it sits, /selinux is empty [08:24] I got a simple enough question: [08:24] I'm trying to make a smaller kernel but i don't know how to do it [08:24] there is one log file in log folder. i want to copy all text whatever that file have it. so i can paste it on pastebin how can i do that? [08:24] sken, please adjust the brightness from the monitor panel, if you are on normal pc and not on laptop [08:24] my internet is working on this now [08:25] but when i try to run littpd it screw up [08:25] what's ati? [08:25] ATI [08:25] Video Card [08:25] no iam on laptop [08:25] chilli0: you mean light httpd ?

[08:26] sken, please lspci | grep VGA [08:26] eightyeight, that's quite some new information i missed. Can you check this for me ... go to synaptic, search for selinux and check under installed files if any of those should go to /selinux. [08:27] yes ikonia [08:27] how can i fix the error?

I mean, start with the fact that out of the box, this feature which a lot of home users want and need is missing from Ubuntu, even when you modprobe the correct device, and install some software like KINO or whatever, the entire thing is such an ordeal, that you must become root in order to have some access to the camcorder, and ev [08:27] chilli0: you have incorrectly configured your webserver. [08:27] chilli0: well from what you've shown me I'd guess that there is an error in your config, probably around the hostname/network address it's binding to [08:27] hischild: i guess i haven't been communicating that clear enough, but that's been my problem since the outset [08:27] chilli0: is lighthttpd even starting ? [08:27] nop [08:27] it use to work fin [08:28] but then i had a screw up with my internet [08:28] eightyeight, np there, i should've asked better questions. [08:28] huh won :D [08:28] so i had to reconfiger it [08:28] should i just reinstall it? [08:28] mo0o0orning :) [08:28] weliad: you can configure that option in System > Users and Groups (I think) [08:28] !enter | chilli0 [08:28] chilli0: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [08:28] sken, open the terminal and type the command i said above please. and post here the output [08:28] chilli0: please don't make thing up saying "people in #ubuntu won't help" is a lie and uncalled for [08:28] sken, and please refer to me with my name. it makes my taskbar blink and me to look at it [08:28] chilli0: as I said before. It appears that your config file for light httpd is incorrectely configured [08:29] thank you [08:29] comon the internet is more reptical [08:29] ikonia: did u know what happend b4? [08:29] ziroday: configure what option? granting normal user access to the device? Why is this any different than a USB webcam or any other device you plug in?

The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic) [08:29] chilli0: and try telling us the whole fact you've just said "you tried to make a static ip address" - that is something you didn't tell me before [08:29] eightyeight, can you check if synaptic tells you if files should be installed into /selinux? [08:29] chilli0: has it ever worked with a static ip address [08:29] no [08:29] jim_p ok [08:29] its when i tryed to make on [08:30] ubottu: Thanks I'll get onto it [08:30] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [08:30] chilli0: right so your miss-leading me [08:30] jim_p what's ati? [08:30] i lost all internet connection, i gotta go [08:30] chilli0: when you said "it used to just work" thats wrong - [08:30] chilli0: it's never worked [08:30] ikonia: there is one log file in log folder. i want to copy all text whatever that file have it. so i can paste it on pastebin how can i do that? [08:30] weliad: you can configure it so that the user can access to firewire and other devices in that program I just gave you [08:30] hischild: well, looking. not sure where to look. if you have commands to type at the tty, i'd do better there [08:30] sken, ati is a maker of grafic cards [08:30] chilli0: what ip address have you assigned to it [08:30] chilli0: lets sort this out [08:30] !pastebin > LoveGuru [08:30] LoveGuru, please see my private message [08:30] sken, let me take it the other way. fo you have a red sticker with the word ati on on your laptop? [08:31] ziroday: Here it is I hope this is right http://paste.ubuntu.com/74677/ [08:31] hischild: 'dpkg -S /selinux' showss that 'policycoreutils' created that dir [08:31] ikonia: i knew that what pastbin is.. but what i m asking is how to copy whole text from that file.

[08:31] ziroday, ok, sure I can grant perms, but WHY??? What makes Firewire so special that it needs special treatment like this, that other ports such as USB don't require? Also, this is a must have feature if UBUNTU is aiming towards home users [08:32] ikonia: its a huge file. like 3000 to 4000 lines [08:32] what would be the simplest (easiest) way to install to a completely headless system (no monitor keyboard or mouse) just has network and cd drive [08:32] !pastebininit [08:32] Sorry, I don't know anything about pastebininit [08:32] i tray to compilare kavmonitor and i get this error : checking for mod reg security...configure: error: "Cannot resolve symbol mod reg security" [08:32] sken, is the laptop a sony? [08:32] hischild: and, as far as i understand, that directory is only populated when selinux is loaded. i could be wrong on that though [08:32] LoveGuru: look at the pastebinit package [08:32] hi all [08:32] weliad: that question I can not answer, I am not a developer. [08:32] hi Slack [08:32] no it's a dell inspiron [08:32] ooops [08:32] hi slack_ [08:32] jim_p [08:32] ziroday, yeah, I figured as much [08:32] sken, (me scratches head) [08:33] weliad: however I have explained to you how to solve your issue. [08:33] lol really jim_p [08:33] for instance, can I have the cd automatically start with shh server enabled? so then I can ssh into the system and then install [08:33] Wasted 2 hours yesterday trying to get this simple feature working - kept getting errors such as: no camera found [08:33] Synchronos: which option did you change? [08:33] yea :P [08:33] ikonia: ya i installed it. [08:33] its a editor or what? [08:33] LoveGuru: yes that [08:34] LoveGuru: try the command [08:34] so any clue jim_p? [08:34] ziroday: changed default 1 from default 0 [08:34] eightyeight, I understand. And yes, that is what i was looking for. I don't have selinux installed and as such it is harder for me to find info on this. [08:34] sken, none so far [08:34] sken, it is some module problem, but what module? [08:35] Synchronos: one sec [08:35] sken, do this cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf | grep Driver [08:35] eightyeight, what i do not understand is how it shows selinux being loaded and yet not populate the /selinux folder. The idea is annoying me, that it should work but doesn't. I'll fire up a VM to see if i can recreate this issue. === CorpSlave______ is now known as CorpSlave [08:35] sken, 2-3 lines of output, maybe 4 [08:35] hischild: yeah. and not much is in the way of google, so i turned here. #selinux and #ubuntu-hardened aren't responding, so i assume they're sleeping. :) [08:35] i said b4,if i dont close all running programs b4 shutting down, my system will run extremely slow wen i boot afterward. wen i check htop, a gdm process is using 100% of 1 of my cores and well over 100mb of ram. I use a turion64x2 with 3gb ram and 250 sata hdd. [08:36] Synchronos: and you are trying to make recovery mode the default boot option? [08:36] eightyeight, i suppose so. And though google is of help, it doesn't provide us with the solution unfortunately. [08:36] ziroday, no disrespect - but you haven't. Granting perms to a simple user is the least of the issue. It should be an out-of-th-box thing, like it is with disk on keys and other stuff (scanner, webcam, etc.). The fact that it's not out-of-the-box means that this feature, which a lot of people look for, is a cause for people to revert to Windows in order to sample their movies. Most people wont use the answer you gave to gain access to thei [08:36] hischild: cool. thx. i'm currently installing debian, to see if the same issue exists there, and what i'm doing wrong [08:36] deola: you may find it easier to talk in clear english, using words like "before" rather than B$ [08:36] no response jim_p [08:36] ziroday: not exactly [08:36] B4 [08:36] sken, lol. mind the CAPS! they are there for a reason [08:36] ziroday: I have 2 partitions on this comp [08:37] Synchronos: sorry I'm not following. Which boot option are you trying to make default? [08:37] what caps jim_p? [08:37] sken, the capital letters in "X11" and "Driver" [08:38] I said before,if i don't close all running programs before shutting down, my system will run extremely slow when i boot afterward. When I check htop, a gdm process is using 100% of 1 of my cores and well over 100mb of ram. I use a turion64x2 with 3gb ram and 250 sata hdd. [08:38] ziroday: I'm actually trying to boot another partition [08:38] ziroday: sorry i didn't make it clear at the beginning [08:38] Synchronos: okay, I'm not seeing that partition in menu.lst. I presume you want to add it manually? [08:38] deola: does that cpu behaviour change if you shut down all the programs before you restart ? [08:38] and what doi i do about that? [08:39] jim_p? [08:39] ziroday: I'll probably have to. The partition I want by default was installed first. [08:39] ikonia: "pastebinit inspircd.conf -b http://pastebin.ca " is it correct command? [08:39] Synchronos: okay, this is a windows partition? [08:39] LoveGuru: nah just "cat file | pastebinit" [08:39] ah [08:39] ziroday: no both Linux partitions [08:39] sken, make sure you put the command in the terminal i i typed it, with the capital letters correctly [08:40] yes, but i have to wait abt 3 or 4 mins after closing the programs before i shutdown or i'll have the same problem.

I'm on a Toshiba laptop running Intrepid, and it doesn't seem like Ubuntu has any control of the CPU fan. [08:55] ...the speed of the fan remains what it was at boot, regardless of the load. [08:55] Does anyone know what i can do to get this FGLRX driver working??? [08:55] raztus [08:55] you sure its the cpu fan and not ur vid card? [08:55] Yes [08:55] if you turn off the extra graphics and stuff [08:56] does it go away? [08:56] My hp used to run the fan like it was going out of style [08:56] the minute i take out the extras [08:56] my battery life is insanely high and the fan stops spinning loudly [08:56] But if the laptop was cool at boot, the fan will never spin up [08:56] raztus: if it has an intel motherboard, then search synaptic for appropriate drivers [08:57] *shrug* mine doesnt start doing it even with extras turned on untill a bit after install [08:57] so i guess your right [08:57] if its doing it from boot [08:57] ie, I think the BIOS is handling the CPU fan, but linux doesn't have access.

I haven't come across one in a long time [09:49] HorizonXP: in my opinion the EASIEST way would be virtualbox. [09:49] HorizonXP: without the VT extension... more than likely VirtualBox [09:49] HorizonXP: qemu and kvm are quite the same when running without hardware virtualization === evolutionx is now known as EvolutionXtinct [09:50] HorizonXP: Qemu lacks decent tools to manage it, but it may have better performance for the VM...

[09:51] thanks guys. stupid Acer. I bought this laptop for the VT. [09:51] fde + HorizonXP: true, and virtualbox makes it very easy to manage your machines [09:51] what about VMware? [09:52] monsoon_king: theoretically, just removing 'kubuntu-desktop' and running aptitude upgrade should get rid of everything [09:52] !virtualbox [09:52] virtualbox is a x86 !virtualizer.

[09:52] sorry I just woke up :) [09:52] hi folks. i use rdesktop to connect from my hardy machine to a windows 2003 terminal server. but the clipboard is not working, i canot copy/paste anything. i use rdpv5 and pass the option -r clipboard:PRIMARYCLIPBOARD.... anybody an idea what might be the problem? [09:52] donnie__: non-free and no better than virtualbox [09:52] right [09:52] fde: no better as in equal to in performance or you're saying virtualbox outruns VMware in performance? [09:52] dirtyhawk: yeah, but I think it needs windows to run. and there's no readme, so no idea if it will actually fix what i need [09:53] donnie__: the latter in my experience. [09:53] Jordan_U, fde .....whats the command to remove it [09:53] HorizonXP: as you said. stupid acer [09:53] monsoon_king: aptitude purge kubuntu-desktop [09:53] ok.. I never tried virtualbox... cause I have a vmware license... its been on my todo list forever... maybe I should try... [09:53] monsoon_king: "sudo apt-get remove kubuntu-desktop" [09:53] monsoon_king: sudo that [09:53] I bought a license for the new crossover... wow ... crossover games makes cedega looks like a 4 year old schoolgirl [09:53] monsoon_king: both will work... I just prefer aptitude [09:53] selinuxium: quick ggogle search http://javaboutique.internet.com/shark/ works here [09:53] dirtyhawk: yeah, definitely making my next machine a non-acer. and a desktop first [09:54] monsoon_king just use this sudo apt-get remove kubuntu-desktop [09:54] Jordan_U, fde Thankz a lot guys [09:54] Whabo, ok [09:54] np [09:54] removing kubuntu-desktop won't take all of kde out with it [09:55] hello iam fresh installed in my unbuntu 8.0.4 lts the proftpd but seems it lacks of the mysql features, iam now see that /usr/sbin/proftpd -V told me that no binding exist to mysql is this a bug?

I just needed to walk away from my computer for a couple of hours, now I'm trying it again. New to Ubuntu still. [10:02] if you want spyware please use Windows [10:02] a1len: you rarely have to mess with the first bit though... but technically it'd be chmod 0710 in this case - it just defines the setuid [10:02] redrebel: http://paste.ubuntu.com/74710/ should work [10:02] is there any command that shows currently connected applications and to which destinations tht i could use on ubuntu ?!

[10:03] yo yo yo [10:03] i just realized my variable was not initialized [10:03] a1len: chmod .... yes [10:03] is there some RSS feed that shows all new packages added to the ubuntu repos? by new I want first time additions not version updates [10:03] a1len: chown changes the owner of the file... whereas chgrp changes group [10:03] elpargo nope [10:03] elpargo: that doesn't happen [10:03] sudo chown user.group [10:04] how about one for all updates? [10:04] hi guys can someone please help me with my ubuntu I have installed kde but when I log in with kde session I get a error meesage [10:04] anyone?! any command to show currently connected applications and to which destination ? [10:04] elpargo: no... but you can get all new packages via a a mailing list if you want? [10:04] elpargo no idea as update-manager will alert you to updates, so I don't see the need [10:04] fde: What's the difference? Pertaining to a network or multiple users on one machine? [10:04] Elmnas: whats the error? [10:04] ah. bash is sensitive to white space!? [10:04] it says [10:04] elpargo: you can use this one for security updates: http://www.ubuntu.com/rss.xml [10:04] redrebel: its case sensitive to everything [10:05] /etc/gdm/Xsession: Beginning session setup... [10:05] fde, you mean all updates to packages? [10:05] ikonia, yes but that is installed locally not *all* [10:05] r0land: sudo netstat -putan [10:05] Elmnas: log onto gnome and run: mv ~/.kde ~/.kde_old [10:05] ardantus, thanks [10:05] Elmnas: log off and log on to kde [10:05] a1len: groups allow you to give permissions to multiple users.... usually most useful on a network, yes, but if you type 'group' in a terminal you'll see its used on desktop machines too to define who can do what [10:06] erUSUL thank you :) [10:06] actionparasnip [10:06] wait [10:06] I write the whole message [10:06] 1 sek [10:06] takes some time [10:06] fde: Sweet. This isn't so hard if you take it one step at a time XD [10:06] elpargo: yes, that is the closest you'll get to what you want [10:06] Elmnas: use pastebin if its more than a few lines [10:06] !paste | Elmnas [10:06] Elmnas: pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic) [10:07] erUSUL: Cheers, it does appear to be working... :) [10:07] selinuxium: no problem [10:07] erUSUL have a prob with my firewall.. each time i restat my pc, it blocks all access! i had to install Firestarted, and eachtime click on "stop firewall" in order for me to have internet access... any advice? [10:07] elpargo: doh, it's 'groups' ... but yeah, those all give you different permissions on the system... [10:07] ok I'll see if there is a way to build one. there has to be a hook in launchpad for added packages, thanks guys [10:07] selinuxium: it does fails crating albums in facebook thought :| [10:07] sup nigs [10:08] fde, groups? wrong person? [10:08] r0land: so it is firesatrter? disable/uninstall it? [10:08] r0land: allow the http traffic through, you will want to configure your firewall to allow legitimate data through [10:08] elpargo: no, type 'groups' instead of 'group' in my previous comment [10:09] erUSUL this prob occured before firestarter i had to instal it so i disable the firewall in a gui based manner since im not familiar with command lines yet.. [10:09] ActionParsnip thats wht im having a prob with [10:09] erUSUL: unfortunately you can't just uninstall firestarter and have things go back to normal... the iptables rules it creates are kept [10:09] fde thats whts happening with me.. [10:09] fde: well i personally use firehol... so dunno [10:09] r0land: read some firestarter guides to put basic security on [10:10] fde: even if you --purge ??

[10:10] fde, huh? isn't that for allen? [10:10] what will I do? [10:10] erUSUL: firestarter package doesn't own iptables config files... so yes [10:10] After upgrading to 8.10, I'm unable to use vnc, it just complains about xrandr missing ... tried googling with no success. any ideas [10:10] ? [10:10] fde a newbie here.. any advice on how to.. ? [10:10] elpargo: haha.. ooops... yes [10:11] r0land: there is a fairly simple CLI way to flush all Iptable rules [10:11] ropetin if you could provide it,that would be appreciated [10:11] r0land: do a Google search for 'flush all iptables rules' [10:11] Elmnas: login to gnome and run: sudo mkdir /var/tmp/kdecache-daniel [10:11] ok thank you [10:11] ok ok [10:11] It's 6 or 7 commands [10:11] as root? [10:11] Basically saying get rid of everything, then set everything to allow [10:12] if I needed to re-installed the Update Manager, what package would that be called? [10:12] Elmnas: some user in the admin group, you shouldnt be loggin on as root EVER [10:12] r0land: iptables -L will show you the current rules... iptables -D will delete them [10:12] Purwokerto [10:12] k thanks [10:12] ok done [10:12] Elmnas: enabling the root account makes your system less secure [10:12] ok ok [10:12] hai [10:13] thank you all very much [10:13] Elmnas: now try logging on to kde [10:13] r0land: it is "sudo iptables -F" [10:13] ok ok [10:13] erUSUL ive tried tht actualy [10:14] "sudo iptables -F nat -t [10:14] works :D:D [10:14] After upgrading to 8.10, I'm unable to use vnc, it just complains about xrandr missing ... tried googling with no success. any ideas? [10:14] THANX A LOT actionparsnip [10:14] Elmnas: cool :) [10:15] Elmnas: if your account is a member of the Admin group, you have as much power as root [10:15] Elmnas: there is absolutely no reason to enable it [10:16] Elmnas: root is evil.... I used to enable it on Ubuntu, then I used sudo bash for a long time ... I don't do any of those anymore. [10:16] I use sudo bash too [10:16] or sudo su [10:16] what the different between sudo su and sudo bash? [10:16] Elmnas: sudo -i is preffered [10:16] lo all, does anyone know what tool/package sets the shell for the Live session user? [10:16] Elmnas: the correct way to do that is 'sudo -l' :/ [10:16] ok ok [10:16] wait, I think I mean sudo -i too [10:16] Elmnas: but again, just sudo what you need [10:16] or change the password for root and login as root :) but it is evil [10:17] okej I have another problem now umm [10:17] when Im in kde now the start up meny is to way big [10:17] how do I change it? its out of the screen [10:17] antone else suffering from multiple letter showing up afte a hey stroke? like thiiiiis [10:17] Elmnas: you can drag the top right corner of it [10:18] Elmnas: you'd need to change resolution... but that will be pretty huge also... heh [10:18] haha how I do change the resolution? [10:18] I have a eeepc 901 [10:18] ActionParsnip: chances are he's at 800x600 or less currently if kickstart is that huge [10:18] those are sweeeet [10:18] standard resolution is 1024 x 600 [10:18] fde: id imagine it uses the same res as gnome? [10:19] Elmnas: in systemsettings ... 'display' option [10:19] mzuverink: ye, after the upgrade to 8.10 [10:19] I'm trying to upgrade to Ibex, but it says my root partition isn't big enough. I'm using lvm and I have another empty partition. How do I expand my root partition temporarily for the install? [10:19] ahoj [10:19] Elmnas: you will need to use the disaply options to use a higher resolution [10:19] its on 1024 x 600 but all is to big anyway what will I do? [10:19] ActionParsnip: I'm not entirely sure tbh, but if kickstart is that large, I'd imagine its not... [10:19] je tu nějakej čech [10:20] fde: true enough, Ive always use xorg.conf which is global ;) [10:20] ActionParsnip: on 1024x768 is certainly wouldn't go off the screen on initial startup [10:20] alassiry, you figure out how to fix it or file a br? [10:20] okej how I fix it? is it hard ? [10:20] ActionParsnip: can't use that anymore though unless you turn off BulletProofX :S [10:21] fde: works on my 8.10 system [10:21] !samba [10:21] Samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html - Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT. Also see https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/212098 [10:21] mzuverink, not fixed, it's quite rare, but sometimes it does that [10:21] ala, ok [10:21] alassiry, ok [10:21] actionParsnip how I disaply options for a higher resolution? [10:22] Elmnas: right click desktop -> run command [10:22] ActionParsnip: hmm, well I've tried on several distros that are using at least Xorg 7.3 that have enabled BulletProofX and it just refuses to give me the resolution I request [10:22] Elmnas: kdesudo kcontrol [10:22] fde: what gfx card? [10:22] ActionParsnip: (although, my monitor isn't actually supposed to go this large, so that could be why, but I refuse to use anything lower) [10:22] fde: 1024x768 is all i use [10:23] ActionParsnip: I don't need assistance [10:23] fde: i guessed :D [10:23] comand not found [10:23] ActionParsnip: I use 1280x1024 .... [10:23] I've just installed 8.10 at home [10:24] but none of the nforce drivers seem to be loaded [10:24] ActionParsnip: with BulletProofX though it selects 1024x768 and refuses to use anything else for X itself, but still allows my preferred resolution for the user xsessions... it's rather strange :/ [10:24] I install it now actionParsnip [10:24] Elmnas: install what? [10:24] kdesudo kcontrol [10:24] I havent it.. [10:25] ActionParsnip: In the about a year since BulletProofX came about, I have gradually hated it more and more... heh... [10:25] ok im in now [10:25] Elmnas: kdesudo lets you run kde apps with root priveledges, kcontrol is an app [10:25] okej [10:25] Elmnas: you should be able to set screen res from there, use alt + drag if it goes off the screen [10:25] Elmnas: are you using Intrepid? [10:26] i forget the name exactly as Im not on my kubuntu system [10:26] fde: how often could you possibly be seeing it? [10:28] I cant find the screen tab [10:28] Im not using intrepid [10:28] histo: every time I install a new distro, I try to live with it until it annoys me.... so you'd be surprised... I go through about 200 disks a year trying new distros [10:28] will I do it ? [10:28] Elmnas: yes, you just gotta find out where in your desktop they hide the settings for resolution [10:29] I believe it is in the Preipherals section of kcontrol [10:29] monitor [10:29] histo: I'm only trying Ubuntu Intrepid right now because I'm bored with Fedora toys right now and wasn't finding any bugs to help out with... didn't much care when it was released, and probably won't be around long [10:29] Hi [10:29] im not as root i fuwss [10:29] now" [10:29] I guess [10:29] i installed blueman and the bluetooth applet stopped working [10:30] even now that i've removed it [10:30] it's still not working [10:30] im in size and orentation now on display system settings [10:30] but I cant get higher than 1024 x 600 [10:31] http://www.digitalversus.com/article-499-3883-150.html [10:32] Elmnas: look at the specifications, 1024x600 is the max res the screen can pull [10:33] its max [10:33] yes [10:33] * ActionParsnip would run fluxbox on an eee pc [10:33] im in display - system settings and when I choose size is 1024 x 600 biggest [10:34] yes 1024 x 600 is the highest resolution the screen can do [10:34] ok but I wonder why all stuff are to way big anyway? [10:34] kde has a fatass task manager bar [10:34] hi all anyone no how I can remove return char from kate say to fix a PGP key [10:35] ActionParsnip: eh... by default perhaps... just make it smaller :/ [10:35] fde: ive never delved that far with kwin [10:35] I'm trying to upgrade to Ibex, but it says my root partition isn't big enough. I'm using lvm and I have another empty partition. How do I expand my root partition temporarily for the install? [10:35] ActionParsnip: well... it has nothing to do with kwin... so that's no excuse ;) [10:36] fde: i use fluxbox mainly, i have very little experience of any of the kde goodness except the apps it gives, including plasma [10:36] Hi all, ubuntu 8.10 seems to have problems with Intel's ICH9 :( im not getting sound working. did a search on "ICH9 ubuntu" and it does seems the issue isn't resoved? guess i'll have to wait for few more days for fedora10 and hopefully that'd work. [10:37] ActionParsnip: in KDE4, Plasma handles the taskbar ... so if you're familiar with that, you should be familiar with how to make the task bar smaller [10:37] fde: as i said, i dot use plasma [10:38] fde: i do use kde though [10:38] i have this file http://www.support.xerox.com/go/getfile.asp?Xlang=en_FI&XCntry=FIN&objid=58093&EULA=1&prodID=WC7132&Family=WorkCentre&ripId=&langs=English&plats=Linux&Xtype=download&uType=#suppprod how i can istall it? [10:38] ActionParsnip: KDE is the most featureful desktop around, but it lacks a lot of the polish that Gnome can boast - mostly because Gnome has more paid developers that work on the boring stuff [10:39] ActionParsnip: I switch back and forth between them regularly though... having kio's leaking memory gets old [10:39] EXP_: tar xvf /path/to/Linuxi386XPXX_4.10.08.tar [10:39] hi all anyone no how I can remove return char from kate say to fix a PGP key [10:40] fde: i just love fluxbox :) [10:41] ActionParsnip: never been able to stomach any *box for long... unless you play with your xsession a lot, it is a pain having to load and maintain the libs for each app/desktop [10:41] grep http prints lines with http in them, including other stuff on the lines, how would i print the http link only? === jason_ is now known as jaso20fsw [10:41] inside that is a file setup, how i cna run that? [10:41] anyone know why I have to use my middle mouse button to set focus to the desktop? I only have to do it once right after logging in, other wise I can left click on the desktop all day and nothing happens. [10:41] fde: i web browse, chat and play 3 games. I dont do any of that stuff you mentioned [10:41] <[eXception]> can I open a terminal from the filebrowser in the current folder? [10:42] ActionParsnip: would rather just use a desktop that uses those libs, and load them once for everything... feels much more snappy that way [10:42] [eXception]: yeah I think its on the right click menu? [10:43] I have a suspicion that the drivers Ubuntu's using for my graphics card might not be exposing the maximum resolution the card has. How can I see what card it is? I don't seem to spot it by reading the output from dmesg. [10:43] [eXception]: there's a package that will let you do that: sudo apt-get install nautilus-open-terminal [10:43] mapreduce: lspci will show what card it is [10:43] mapreduce: lspci | grep -i vga [10:44] <[eXception]> thx [10:44] 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 82945G/GZ Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 02) [10:44] 00:02.1 Display controller: Intel Corporation 82945G/GZ Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 02) [10:44] Does that mean there are two of them? [10:44] <[eXception]> and now my broblem is screenresolution in virtualbox :/ [10:44] oh not another intel thing :( [10:44] [eXception]: have you install the guest additions? [10:44] <[eXception]> yes.. I clicked on LinuxAddons.run [10:44] mapreduce: if its onboard then I doubt it [10:45] ActionParsnip: I don't know what it is, as I haven't opened the box up. It's my work machine, set up before I started. [10:45] mapreduce: they appear to be the same card... but the PCI bus id is different... I guess this is a known issue though [10:45] <[eXception]> now I try with sudo sh [10:46] brb [10:46] [eXception]: in the VM click devices in the menu bar [10:46] can i watch a WM7 activex control required streaming video? [10:46] mapreduce: it'll be a single device [10:46] i have problem with automount flesh\cd and other. if i powerOn my computer it not work. but if i will reboot after it all work. what can i do ? =( [10:46] I'll check the data sheet for it for the max resolution. [10:46] attid: sudo mount -a [10:46] mapreduce: the top one is the same as mine... but I don't have any issues.... [10:46] <[eXception]> : thx mate [10:47] can someone please help me I im the kde controlc enter but I cant change the font size I cant see the apply button when I move the window [10:47] brb, i think i got it to work [10:47] fde: I don't have any issues either, I was just wondering whether there are resolutions above what I'm using. [10:47] mapreduce: if its not showing up, then no... [10:48] The datasheet for it from intel suggests there are. [10:48] mapreduce: right click kmenu ... and choose "classic menu" instead... might be more manageable [10:48] Wait, were you the dude with that issue? I forget [10:49] ActionParsnip, it will mount only fstab but not new device [10:49] I'm not using kmenu, I'm using gnome's. [10:49] mapreduce: oh... then there isn't anything you can really do [10:49] The maximum res shows as 1280x800; what are you using?

I have a question as a new user [10:53] cypha: nope, I sent it to "me" ;) [10:53] [eXception]: one is a terminal emulator, the other is an actual terminal?

[10:57] [eXception], actually its the same thing.both terminal or tty.. [10:57] My screenresolution is currently set to 1280x800, and i can't seem to get it higher, but is there some hack i can implement to make it possible to get a higher resolution? [10:57] cypha: going via the web interface directly is tedious [10:57] <[eXception]> k thx [10:57] Okay I have a samba share on my system that is writable from users on my home network. When a user writes a file there it gets owned by nobody:nogroup. I can't modify the file or delete it now. [10:57] [eXception], its easier to use terminal rather then tty... its the same thing actually.... so no problem there. [10:57] Is there a way to fix this so that it gets written in a different way? [10:58] histo: sudo chown /path/to/file [10:58] histo: then rm it [10:58] ActionParsnip: I should I have mentioned I know about chown i'm trying to figure out how to prevent this behavior from happening. [10:58] histo: when you connect to the share are you challenged for a password? [10:58] no [10:58] hey people. [10:58] ActionParsnip: share is open to everyone. [10:58] cypha: What kind of media is that streaming? Windows media? Real media? [10:58] histo: sudo smbpasswd [10:59] Can someone give me .deb package that enables file sharing in ubuntu, i need this for completley offline computers - these computers on farm do not have internet so .deb package is needed for offline [10:59] i need help configureing my WINE. [10:59] ActionParsnip: he should actually edit /etc/samba/smb.conf and change default perms ... but I would rather not guide him through that, it'll take a while [10:59] ActionParsnip, there are only hdd [10:59] ActionParsnip: ? [10:59] histo: this will make you need to authenticate, and the files will have owners [10:59] attid: you should have a line for cdrom in there [10:59] fde, i now have a screen in the video that says "(no video)" [10:59] uffo, u already got one install.. its call samba [10:59] i need help configuring my WINE installation.

[11:05] omegaomni, did ur gui working ok..?? or the distrotion font just happen when u try to run wine configuration [11:05] cypha: only thing I can think of that might be wrong... try using the User Agent Switcher addon and tell it you're using a IE too... that is the only difference to my setup, and I haven't come across any issues [11:05] ikonia: why there is filesharing option with right click but it wont work out of the box [11:05] just WINE. [11:05] uffo: define won't work [11:06] fde, what's the User Agent Switcher? [11:06] or where [11:06] ikonia: it wants to install windows filesharing service [11:06] uffo: want to do it the easy way and edit smb.conf rather than a silly gu? [11:06] its my graphics card driver...when its running the font is distorted...when its off the font is fine.

[12:42] mikevankuik: why do you need 1.4.20 instead of 1.4 [12:42] mikevankuik: why do you need 1.4.20 instead of 1.4.19? The folder you build it is not the same as the folder you install it to [12:43] ?quit [12:43] jrib: issues with 1.4.19 and php-cgi that seem to be fixed in 1.4.20 according to lighttpd website [12:44] jrib: so it should overwrite any old files that might have been overseen?

[12:49] jrib: I used both statments :) but still some folders where not removed because there was still content in them (thank god I wouldn't want to lose my /var/www folder :P its priceless :P) [12:50] mikevankuik: well what config are you referring to? [12:50] jrib: just the lighttpd.conf file [12:50] jrib: I've got a backup from it on my client pc [12:50] mikevankuik: try and see what happens. I guess a sane install would not overwrite that [12:50] hello.is there a software convert rm files to mp3 [12:51] <[eXception]> hi [12:51] hi there [12:52] jrib: well I did but it didn't seem to be installed into /etc/init.d/ (thats why I was wondering if there was a way that I could force it into there) [12:52] can anyone tell me if I can install tvu player or sopcast player in UBUNTU [12:52] <[eXception]> mount -t vboxsf srv /mnt/srv says: /sbin/mount.vboxsf: mointing faild: protocol error [12:52] mikevankuik: use the one from the ubuntu package.

[12:55] jrib: I did but they only give tou the 1.4.19 version not the 1.4.20 ... and thats the one I (1.4.19 was running on it right now but it sucked with php-cgi and the mod_magnet for some reason and I read somewhere that with 1.4.20 it would be resolved so that's why I'm trying to get 1.4.20 running. But i do want it in "the correct folder") [12:55] i enabled [12:55] quick question - is 8.04 the latest liveCD version, or is there an 8.10 version - this is sorta vague or maybe just out of date - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCD [12:56] pawan, then update sources and install [12:56] dookdook: dpkg -L command-not-found-data | grep db [12:56] how [12:56] gaintsura: 8.10 is out in live version [12:56] Gobsheen, there is one for intrepid also [12:56] mikevankuik: I mean to use the init file from the ubuntu package [12:56] [/usr/share/command-not-found]$ dpkg -L command-not-found-data | grep db [12:56] /usr/share/command-not-found/programs.d/all-main.db [12:56] /usr/share/command-not-found/programs.d/all-multiverse.db [12:56] /usr/share/command-not-found/programs.d/all-restricted.db [12:56] /usr/share/command-not-found/programs.d/all-universe.db [12:56] dookdook: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.

[12:59] pawan, you were answered; address someone or you wont get help [12:59] jrib: ok tx I'll look at that first [12:59] jrib, thanks, but my question was why don't i have a suggestions.db file...i already knew i didn't have it in that directory (and now i know that there isn't another directory its hiding in) [12:59] how can i find these packages with a correct size or how can i circumvent this problem?

[12:59] dido: http://www.usenet-forums.com/linux-general/95151-howto-convert-rm-mp3.html [13:00] because i destroyed my root partition and i had only a 7.04 installation cd [13:00] dookdook: why do you think you should have a suggestions.db file and not the db files you got with the command I gave you? [13:00] !upgrade > kiru [13:00] kiru, please see my private message [13:00] kiru, get a more recent version and do a fresh install then [13:00] ActionParsnip1: the full name is i_cproc_p_11.0.069_ia32.tgz [13:00] i dont have a cd burner and stuff [13:00] only this old cd [13:01] ActionParsnip1: when i open it there are many files and folders [13:01] kiru: yes, as bazhang said it would be better to get a recent release and just install that. But in the future when you upgrade, don't use apt-get dist-upgrade, use the instructions ubottu gave [13:01] kiru: find a friend that can burn you a cd or try: [13:01] !install > kiru [13:01] kiru, please see my private message [13:01] hm [13:01] kanhiya78: tar zxvf ./i_cproc_p_11.0.069_ia32.tgz [13:01] a little bit frustrating what you are telling me [13:01] jrib, yes, i'm mistaken. sorry, i'm looking at the commandnotfound utility and trying to figure out whats going on...obviously i'm not mis-interpreting something. thanks [13:01] kiru: what is that? [13:02] kanhiya78: that is a sourcecode archive, you will be compiling an application.

There are other ways to install [13:03] so i wanna try to upgrade from 7.04 to 7.10 and then to 8.04 [13:03] kanhiya78: that will give you a c / c++ compiler [13:03] jrib, of course [13:03] !upgrade > ActionParsnip [13:03] how much large it's setup is [13:04] kiru: it makes a lot more sense to do that rather than isntalling an old, unsupported version [13:04] but apt-get install dist-upgrade doesnt work because some packages have a wrong size [13:04] kiru: you're ignoring what I told you. That's not how you upgrade anyway. [13:04] kiru, you need to change sources [13:04] hello.can anybody give me c book [13:04] ActionParsnip1: i mean to say how much of size it is? [13:05] bazhang, so manually write gutsy instead of feisty in /etc/apt/sources.list [13:05] Hello , can some one point me in the correct direction, I cannot get the sound card on my T30 to work with Ubuntu - This is an awesome operating system _ I am a newbie so be kind please [13:05] jrib, i dont wanna argue with you [13:05] kiru: sudo apt-get install update-manager-core; sudo do-release-upgrade [13:06] !info build-essential | kanhiya78 [13:06] kanhiya78: build-essential (source: build-essential): Informational list of build-essential packages.

[14:26] bk-bk: thats all i got man, i dont use either [14:26] ame [14:26] uriol, check in edit -> preferences -> applications and search google to see what to add for amule [14:26] ok thanks [14:26] the window on the irc program' setup dialog is so big that I cannot reach the button to click ok to set it up [14:26] ruler_: I had a lot of io-errors when installing, but they were not fatal as the system worked perfectly. It might be a kernel issue for all I know. [14:26] hello all. I am looking at putting in a SATA addon card as my box doesn't have support for SATA yet. Can anyone recommend a SATA Card that will work with ubuntu? [14:26] that is why I am asking from mirc under windwos [14:26] what I found is that there is support for the system chipset ubuntu, but I find it unlikely. [14:27] ruler_: After the system was installed it worked smoothly. [14:27] does anyone know how to install the "Customize Pointer" program that is supposed to be in Ubuntu 8.10? For some reason I don't have it [14:27] jlaroche, you checked Add/Remove? [14:27] !patience | jlaroche [14:27] jlaroche: The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines [14:28] BlueEagle I thought so also (I'm far from rookie) but setup does not continue. It asks me to insert another ubuntu cd with files it needs. I have test installed (out of anger) ubuntu on my laptop from same cd and works super. On errored machine live cd also runs great [14:28] BlueEagle I among other things admin red hat servers but I could not resolve this [14:28] Hello.i like Ubuntu, but i am newbie and i have some problems. My computer's RAM is almost full everytime.At example i just started my computer and 709mb are occupied from 1gb. And if i start some massive applications like netbeans(that occupy almost 300mb of RAM) then my computer slows down. What to do? [14:29] wow [14:29] where can i get ubuntu dvd version for download? [14:29] Andreica: thats ok, unused ram is wasted ram [14:29] ok, tried hda alsa, analog alsa, OSS, etc. some give me no sound at all, the others give me low cracking sound but nothing else [14:29] Andreica: are yuo fully updated? [14:29] ruler_: you didn't ask for extra language support? you may need the dvd for that. [14:29] yes [14:29] ActionParsnip1, Andreica duh, it's taking so much memory that it doesnt let her/him work!!! [14:29] Andreica, use system monitor to see what is using memory [14:30] i'm using and it everytime shows me that RAM is almost full. [14:30] BlueEagle btw my hardware is quite ordinary, core 2 duo 8200, gigabyte p35-ds3l mobo, nvidia 8400gs, seagate hdd, so nothing that linux normaly wouldnt run on [14:30] Andreica: they are telling y9ou to lok at what application is using the most of the memory [14:30] Bonjour, suis-je le seul à parler français? [14:30] Andreica, hey, I think your Search and Indexing might be turnedd on. Have you tried turning it off? It's a pain in the neck. system->preferences-?Search and indexing [14:30] !fr| tommaso [14:30] tommaso: Ce canal est en anglais uniquement. Si vous avez besoin d'aide ou voulez discuter en francais, merci de rejoindre #ubuntu-fr [14:30] ganesh: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/downloadmirrors#dvd [14:30] Andreica, it might be okay because there is no reason not use lots of ram, but you should check and see what program is doing that [14:31] Jeruvy no, :),I will just take note of exact error and repaste in the evening [14:31] Andreica: I'd check you are fully updated. a new kernel may resolve it if there is one [14:31] * jimcooncat makes a bet its Firefox [14:31] there isn't any application(running in background) that consume much RAM [14:31] ruler_: what is the error? [14:31] !paste > ActionParsnip [14:31] i'm using 8.10 version [14:31] hi there i am trying to use ssh on my pc i have a router and dont seem to be able to conect some one sugested it may be my router or fire wall not forwarding to port 22 can any one advise please thank you in advance [14:32] paule_, I'm running firefox with 90 or so tabs open, probably more, Photoshop CS4, System monitor, QtCreator (Qt IDE) and I'm only using 491.2 MiB.......... [14:32] paule_, there's no reason Andreica's computer should be using 700 MB at boot ..... [14:32] thiebaude: Hello everyone. Custom mouse pointers are not working at all in Ubuntu 8.10 (64bit). I installed a number of pointers (by going to System --> Preferences --> Appearance and then clicking on "Install" under the 'Theme' tab) and they showed up at first. I changed my theme, icon set, pointer, etc. a few times (trying to find the right combination) and I noticed that the pointers I installed were disappearing from the 'Pointe [14:32] r' tab under 'Customize'. I tried reinstalling the pointers, but I get this message "Installation for theme "theme name" failed. Can't move directory over directory" [14:32] vallhalla81: have you opened the port on your router if not what router is it ? [14:32] i need a link to fix the crackling sound from my speakers. i have rebuilt the alsa drivers, changed from ALSA to OSS... neither has worked [14:32] vallhalla81: yes, you'll have to forward the port in your router [14:33] jlaroche: what type of file is it? [14:33] danub: maybe a bad physical connection or broken wire [14:33] Mimi: indexer will swallow your ram pretty fast especially on a fresh machine with no index history. [14:33] Jeruvy, yes, that's what I told Andreica [14:33] linny: it is a netgear rp614 v4 [14:33] vallhalla81: http://portforward.com has lists of routers and guides to open ports [14:34] jimcooncat: it better not be. its a brand new acer laptop and the speakers worked just fine 4 days ago before i did a reinstall of ubuntu [14:34] linny: thank you [14:34] Jeruvy: that why i got tracker disabled [14:34] vallhalla81: if you need help you can pm me :) [14:34] Jeruvy I'll need to take down exact error :) [14:34] Andreica, Mimi, if there are any programs using alot of ram, they should show up in system monitor, go to view -> all processes [14:34] Mimi: hard to keep up with the replies :) ok. [14:34] jlaroche, thats saying you allready have that theme installed. i noticed that befor it would just 'reinstall' the theme overwriting the old theme directory - it dosent do it any more.. not sure on your other problems [14:34] when i'm starting netbeans...memory is full at 80-90 percent and computer is working very slow. at begining it is still possible to work but with time it works slower and slower [14:34] thiebaude: I found a program called "Cursor Selection" in the 'Add/Remove Applications". I installed it, but it is the same exact thing as 'gcursor' which does not work at all. [14:34] i already selected "All processes" [14:35] Andreica, does this occur only with netbeans or with other programs too? [14:35] Anybody having any luck with the MiniDisplay port to VGA adapter on a Macbook Unibody? [14:35] Andreica, in Processes, did you click Memory so the highest one is at the top? Which app shows lots of memory? [14:35] Andreica, so what processes are using 700mb at boot? [14:35] jlaroche: why aren't you using system -> preferences -> appearance -> theme -> customize -> pointer ? [14:35] Dr_willis: yeah. I understand that. I would manually reinstall them, but I don't know where the cursor files go (I tried to find out using google). [14:35] hello all. I am looking at putting in a SATA addon card as my box doesn't have support for SATA yet. Can anyone recommend a SATA Card that will work with ubuntu? [14:36] netbeans loads more than other programs, but with other also appear this problesm [14:36] Just for your info: I also installed gcursor, thinking it might be able to take care of my problem, but lo and behold - gcursor is broken too. There is a very descriptive bug report about that --> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gcursor/+bug/138491 [14:36] jlaroche: maybe its better to install induvidual cursor themes online [14:36] w0ls0n, probably any brand name manufacturer card will work [14:36] w0ls0n: recommend upgrading to an SATA compat mobo [14:36] jlaroche: i dont know the solution [14:36] nibsa1242, why? [14:36] jrib: For some reason, its not on my installation [14:37] jlaroche: are you sure? make sure you are looking in the right place [14:37] omg [14:37] paule_: because if he needs SATA he'll probably want other features that an SATA compat mobo will provide [14:37] System --> Preferences [14:38] jlaroche: huh? [14:38] HELLO [14:38] there aren't any significant processes but memory is almost full. [14:38] CAN UBUNTU RUN ON MAC [14:38] cyan29 yes it can [14:38] :F [14:38] any ideas on what is causing the crackling from the speakers? it has to be some bad setting, i just dont know where to check them or how to reconfig ut [14:38] cyan29: Yes. I am on one right now. A unibody 13.3" [14:38] s/ut/it [14:38] cyan29: some things aren't working yet, but it is quite usable.

[14:39] how do i open ports in ubuntu [14:39] I GOT IMAC [14:39] yeah i will try that right now but i believe it is already up. lemme double check though [14:40] Even iMacs are bound to have a caps lock key [14:40] jrib: does that make sense now? [14:40] haha, hateball [14:40] woot woot!!! [14:41] I'm having a problem with my network configuration. I'm running two vlans of eth0, and they're configured in /etc/network/interfaces. It boots fine, and both vlans work, but if I do a /etc/init.d/networking restart then the network shuts down. It's a remote server, and I'm configuring over ssh, and I'm running automatic restarts of the server through a cronjob. If I remove the second vlan(not the internet connection) then it works fine, but the [14:41] I tried to pipe error to one file, and output to another, but no errors are reported from the networking restart [14:41] opss sorry. i capital letter. now i use small one. [14:41] any ideas? [14:41] thank you Mimi. turns out the pcm was turned all the way down lol [14:41] jlaroche, go to your home folder, then .icons and delete the folder with your cursors, then try dragging the "zip" file with the cursor into Theme. This worked for me [14:41] danub, yeah, I got the same "problem" once :P [14:41] danub, does it work now? [14:41] how do i open ports in ubuntu\ [14:42] when i type /proc/meminfo it writes me Access denied [14:42] !firewall | Killer--Tux [14:42] Killer--Tux: Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'iptables' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo), or GUI applications such as Firestarter (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE). [14:42] Killer--Tux: no ports are closed by default. [14:42] jlaroche: no because now it contradicts what you said earlier. Do you or do you not have Pointer selection in System -> Preferences -> Appearance -> Customize [14:42] where can i get ubuntu dvd torrent for download? [14:42] hi guys i am about to install xubuntu and i was wondering if it's essential for me to have network connectivity during the install?

[14:42] Killer--Tux, i'd say you gotta open the ports on your router, not ubuntu [14:43] o ok thanks guys [14:43] ganesh, google points me to http://torrent.ubuntu.com/releases/intrepid/release/dvd/ [14:43] where does the .deb package i download using apt-get -d is located (?) [14:43] Schenker80: it's not essential, but without it, your /etc/apt/sources.list file (which list software sources to install packages from) will probably be a bit messed up. you should probably check back in this channel after you've installed it to fix it [14:43] so what to do? [14:43] Lemur, plenty of people do:P if this has got to do with Wine, might want to ask in #winehq, also look at http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=application&iId=1922 [14:43] tombar: /var/cache/apt/archives [14:43] ty LjL [14:43] jrib: no i dont have pointer selection under system-preferences-appearance. and NO. it DOES NOT CONTRADICT [14:44] OK guys thank you.

Is there a way to convert multiple images at once from jpg to png? [14:45] im sorry [14:45] jrib: I changed it under system-preferences-appearance-customize-pointer [14:45] phrostbite, imagemagik should be able to do that too :P you might want to read the manual (sorrysorry!! :P but all this info is there!) [14:45] jlaroche: that is what I am asking exists or not... [14:46] maybe is any application that clears RAM? [14:46] thanks mimi... that sounds like it should work... let me try it out [14:46] Anyone here run origami? Its currently using 80% CPU and wondering if its impacting performance of other apps or if its scaling back? [14:46] phrostbite, there used to be a command called "convert" included with imagemagick [14:46] Where should I go to read the manual? I am sure i got imageshack but i don't see it in my applications list [14:46] hi, i need help, i have a new screen 22" and i plugged it to my laptop with RJ connection (the pins) i need to know how to cinfugure it so it will work properly.. what should i do?

Adding gnome-terminal --geometry 90x15 to default apps doesnt work. grr any help:P [14:51] Mimi: what about editing your profile? [14:51] Andreica, top [14:51] ok folks i somehow fixed the screen resolution but that has not fixed the problem [14:51] histo, my bashrc profile? Yeah I thought that might work =^..^= just wans't sure if it would be . If you can confirm that's how id do it, I'll google it. thanks! [14:51] Mimi: create a new profile or edit your current one. You can specify commands for startup etc... Or you could creat a launcher with whatever commands you wanted int ehre. [14:52] Mimi: not your bashrc you gnome-terminal profile. [14:52] dialog boxes are still too big for the 'desktop' I know you all call that something else in linux [14:52] Andreica, use shift+m to sort by memory usage [14:52] Mimi: profiles are very handy :) but make a copy of your existing one. [14:52] there is list of all may processes(writting ps aux) http://paste.ubuntu.com/74791/ [14:52] they get lost off the bottom of the 'screen' [14:52] oh yeah that works too === Marcelo is now known as Celopcm [14:52] histo, oh yeah, I use that gnome-terminal profile a LOOOOOOTTT but i've never seent hat option there [14:52] some1 === Celopcm is now known as chelogui [14:52] sdouble on === genii-2 is now known as genii-around [14:53] i ordered. Xorg consumes about 40Mb and other consume less and less [14:53] histo, I'd make a launcher, the prob is I use gnome-do a lot, and it doesn't pick up the term size... nor does applications->acessories->term [14:53] Mimi: Just creaet a launcher or edit the launcher you are currently using and add the --geometry switch [14:53] Hello [14:53] caon someone help [14:53] ?? [14:54] histo, like i said on my first msg, i did try the launcher/shortcut ^^; [14:54] Mimi: and the problem is? [14:54] guys I have a small problem now. I have downloaded the desktop CD and I have booted my computer from it. I have a black screen with white text and it says welcome to yaboot. how do i install from this? [14:55] histo that I want it as default because no other shortcuts open it with that new size. I use gnomedo a lot, and i need it to pick up the new size too. [14:55] Andreica, are you on xubuntu or ubuntu? [14:55] Mimi: it would be gnome-terminal --geometry=90x15 [14:55] histo, yes i know. [14:55] i am talking about xubuntu here by the way :) [14:55] histo like i said i need it to be a global setting [14:55] Andreica, im not sure what might be using so much ram, there are a few programs you can close to save memory, like jetty and mysql servers [14:55] i'm on Ubuntu 8.10 [14:55] Mimi: hold on let me look at something [14:55] archive manager doesnt like 7zip - what do i use as a gui tool to extract 7z files [14:56] I need to create a mirror with just specific packages, so that I can pin packages to a specific version, company wide... any idea how to accomplish this? [14:56] raven go on add/remove and search for 7z, install, try again with archive manager [14:56] raven 7zip [14:56] Hi. I changed my resolution from gnome's menu, and now can't get into X properly. === lhogie is now known as lucci === lucci is now known as lucci__ [14:56] shernko80 after you are done maybe you can help me [14:56] raven, shoudl be the 3rd or so app, in add/remove [14:57] I don't see any resolution setting in /etc/X11/xorg.conf; is there some way I should reset it? [14:57] it's very hard to work when computer works so slow so i don't know what to do [14:57] with my RAM === lucci__ is now known as lucci [14:58] Andreica, how much of your swap file is in use? also, is there any reason you are running apache? [14:58] why flash uses 100% cpu when i have exa mode enabled to my radeon 9600 [14:59] Andreica, can you do this: sudo apt-get install htop (easier to use) then open Terminal and run htop then on the bar that says pID USER PRI...... etc....... click MEM% and make sure the highest numbers on that column. then do a screenshot and post it here so we can see it [14:59] Mimi: okay edit /usr/share/applications/gnome-terminal.desktop You are looking for the exec line near the bottom of that file append --geometry=90x15 there [14:59] now only 6.2 Mb of swap are used [14:59] histo, *score*! That looks right! *try* thanks ! [14:59] Andreica, try shutting down any programs like amarok you are not using to see if it speeds up [14:59] Mimi: that will be system wide though [14:59] histo, not a prob, it's my laptop after all ^_^ [15:00] Nece228: do you have drivers installed [15:00] What's the command to send a message to another user logged in the same server (using shell)? [15:00] Andreica, it might not be a memory issue, because it is faster for programs to use ram than the swap if they do not have to [15:00] Mimi: if you need it for just your user i'm sure you could find something in gconf. [15:00] SidGBF: write [15:00] Mimi: You might have to log out and back in to have that take effect. [15:00] Hello [15:00] hey guys i need a lil help [15:00] nicku: i have open source drivers [15:00] I could use help setting up the desktop [15:01] histo, Meh, I'll try anything, it seems silly but it really bothers me to have the terminal really big ;p [15:01] Shaba1: specifically, what assistance do you require? [15:01] i have a 320 hard drive, i only partitioned and installed half of it for ubuntu, i was wondering could i partition and format the rest from ubuntu or woould i have to pop in the cd again? [15:01] I just did a apt-get dist-upgrade and I'm being dropped into an initramfs shell ... eek. I upgraded to intrepid. My root device was an LVM device. has anyon experienced this? [15:01] Nece228: so you have radeon drivers installed.. are they working properly.. try glxgears [15:01] sedi-d: you can use gparted from Ubuntu [15:01] Mimi: The other thing to try is editing /usr/share/vte/termcap/xterm and changing the geometry settings in there since thats what gnome-terminal uses and emulates. Either way should get the job done. [15:02] ok how do i find that? [15:02] guys I have a small problem now. I have downloaded the desktop CD and I have booted my computer from it. I have a black screen with white text and it says welcome to yaboot. how do i install from this? [15:02] i mean where do i find gparted? [15:02] my screen res is set at 1024 X768 which I think it correct. But some dialogs and screens do get cut off at the bottom of the 'desktop' [15:02] nicku: in exa mode everythink works perfect and faster than with xxa, but when i open flash movie pc starts lag horribly [15:02] sedi-d: sudo aptitude install gparted [15:02] SidGBF, at one time there was the talk/chat/write commands.. but those are terminal only.. theres not an easy way to 'force' a message ont heir screen.. unless you are root.. [15:02] taec: do not use lvm bu looks like a serious kernel initramfs bug... [15:02] I think you all call that a panel in linux fde [15:02] thanks [15:02] Schenker80: what cd did you download? and from where? [15:02] Nece228: what flash plugin do you have.. what version [15:03] any partitioning guru's around -> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=6217127#post6217127 [15:03] Dr_willis: Sometimes trick like echo whatever | sudo tee /dev/ttyname works [15:03] this oS kicks ass:D [15:03] Hey, I'm having a problem with a remote tunnel. I've set up a remote machine to ssh to me like "ssh -R 2200:localhost:22 my.local.machine" I from my machine I can ssh to port 2200 and login to the remote machine, however outside connections to my.local.machine:2200 are denied... Is this the expected behavior? How can I change it? [15:03] Shaba1: uhh, so you want assistance with setting up a panel? what exactly is wrong right now? [15:03] xubuntu-6.06-desktop-powerpc.iso from the unbuntu site [15:03] erUSUL: why not use LVM? [15:03] i checked the MD5 and it was OK [15:03] histo, your gnome-terminal.desktop thingy worked without restart :D yay :D :D thanks so much,been trying for a while:) And you taught me where shortcuts are stored which i had been wondering for a while :) [15:03] genii, of course if hes on X.. well... :) then ya record a message to wav.. and play it onhis machine! [15:03] well I have two panels one at the top of the screen one at the bottom [15:03] taec: i dot see the need on a desktop computer [15:04] have i downloaded the wrong thing? [15:04] taec: LVM has some overhead that isn't necessary on desktop systems... [15:04] genii, we need to track down a site of 'funny/silly linux tricks' :) [15:04] I am assuming that is the standard ubuntu way of setting up the screen and I have a 'desktop' in the middle. [15:04] hi all, i'm trying to schedule something to run via crontab but it's not working. It's a bash script that i've made but I can't figure out why it won't run. Is there a way to see why it's not running [15:04] anyone here use Avant Window Navigator? [15:04] erUSUL: I'm not using it on a desktop system [15:04] when i got up this morning my ubuntu clock was 5 hours behind my regular time. i changed it back, but any ideas how that could have happened?

[15:04] ravennium: mount any extra to example /home [15:04] fus10nx, common mistakes.. be sure to give full path to the script.. and be sure it startes with #!/bin/bash are 2 issues ive seen in the past. [15:04] where is gparted located now?? [15:05] does that make sense fde? [15:05] ok, does anyone know if you can change the speed that AWN pops up and down? [15:05] sedi-d, install it [15:05] taec: ok i'm fine with people needing it using it i just pointed that i did not experience it simply becouse i do not use it [15:05] i did [15:05] roy_hobbs: 0 10 * * * /wg/scripts/start.bsh [15:05] TuxOtaku, yup, hit alt+f2 and enter gconf-editor then search for [15:05] it tells me because its so powerful only root can run it??

I can't use that space for anything as it is mounted. gparted doesn't give me option for unmounting it [15:05] roy_hobbs: and i'm entering it as root when I do contab e [15:05] -e [15:06] i read that if using an ssd drive it's recomended to delete the swap partition. is this true? [15:06] OK histo: I hit enter at this black screen and now I am booted from this CD. I have an install option on the desktop - should I click that?

[15:06] nicku: i have flash10, i tried flash 9 but no luck [15:06] fus10nx: so it's in /etc/cronttab [15:06] Here I come with another stupid question ;). I am trying to use the terminal to get to my pictures directory and i thought it started like "cd home/user/folder/folder" and so on. or am i completely wrong? === x-ip_ is now known as xip|comiendo [15:06] I can and I will it that's the easiest way :D [15:06] Schenker80: if your goal is to install Ubuntu, then yes......

[15:07] SOURdiesel, given the cost of those drives now.. :) im not worried about it.. plus ive never worn one out yet.

I'll do that [15:07] dr_willis: it also said to move the /tmp forlder to tmpfs.

[15:08] how about you guys just msg the bot lol [15:08] nicku, for desktop and mythtv, so I won't need boot? [15:08] Schenker80: you should check out help.ubuntu.com while you install [15:08] dr_willis: good to hear. i have 8GB of RAM so the swap partition is probably hardly used.

[15:09] How can i install acrobate reader on ubuntu? [15:09] How do i use the terminal to get to a certain folder? I tried "cd home/user" and so on but i seem to be having a problem [15:09] SOURdiesel, yep.. 4 gb here..swap rarely used [15:09] ok histo, thank you i will have another look there too [15:09] Stavros desktop ediition [15:09] fus10nx: do you have other cronjobs there that are working? [15:09] phrostbite, use proper paths cd /home/usernam,e [15:09] nicku, ok, thanks. I start installing it now :D [15:09] Stavros: i would go with desktop.. [15:09] roy_hobbs: in crontab -e, yes [15:09] what's different with the server edition? [15:09] Mimi: there is screenshot http://s44.radikal.ru/i103/0811/86/af7ae4f954dc.jpg [15:09] dr_willis: i heard even after years that the ssd drives, even after so many rewrites will be fine. [15:09] wissman: add the partners repo in system > administration > software sources ... the 3rd party tab... then search for it [15:09] Oh i forgot the / before home. Thank you very much [15:09] phrostbite, and 'cd' by default goes back to /home/YOURUSERNAME [15:09] dr_willis: er, read. [15:09] roy_hobbs: i've never entered anything in /etc/crontab but i'll give it a shut [15:09] phrostbite: if you are using absolute pathnames you have to begin with / (root) . «cd /home/user» [15:09] !server | Stavros [15:09] Stavros: Ubuntu Server Edition is a release of Ubuntu designed especially for server environments, including a server-specific !kernel and no !GUI.

[15:09] fus10nx: then it is probably a problem with the script itself [15:09] phrostbite, as does cd ~ [15:10] !cli | phrostbite [15:10] phrostbite: The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome) or K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE). Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal [15:10] My network bandwidth is significantly reduced (1&/5-1&19th of what it used to be) [15:10] blakkheim: timezone changed [15:10] fus10nx: why don't you put something like "touch /home/fus10nx/Desktop/HELLO_WORLD" at the top of the script [15:10] Pici: so apart from the kernel everything else is installable (mostly just apache)? [15:10] Stavros: Essentially, yes./ [15:10] dr_willis: i'll just leave it then. just wanted a second opinion. thanks man. [15:10] Pici: ah, i see [15:10] can't find out why. anyone help me analyse it? [15:10] thank you all for the information [15:10] Stavros: everything worth while for linux is installable via apt [15:10] ok now my partition says i dont own it os i cant creat new folders:S what now [15:11] heret1c: reduced from what it used to be.... When? Whats changed ? [15:11] sedi-d: you were told to do 'sudo gparted' for a reason [15:11] i'm having trouble compiling a new kernel (from upstream) I got the first one to build no problems but now I keep getting the error here: http://rafb.net/p/FTSEgX98.html [15:11] !gksudo [15:11] If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why) [15:11] erUSUL: do you know if there's anywhere I can get a description of the booting process with initramfs? [15:11] can anyone help me work around it? i Think its just a stupid mistake i'm making. [15:12] taec: well probably the initramfs lacks either the lvm kernel modules or the userspace utilities needed to deiscover and mount the volumes [15:12] fde: true, i was wondering what's preinstalled, but i only need apache from the LAMP server (no mysql/php), so i guess it's not much different, thanks [15:12] andre_pl: try #kernel ... this isn't really the place for that [15:12] Andreica, looks like you got many instances of beagle search running at the same time. I think only one should be running. You do know what beagle is, right? [15:12] beagle is really memory and cpu heavy [15:12] histo: from >500 kbs to approx. 130. [15:12] yes, i stoped it, but RAM is still full [15:12] Stavros: if you do a server install, very little will be pre-installed... they assume if you need a server that you know what you're doing :) [15:13] erUSUL: probably need lvm2 or lvm within the initramfs image [15:13] taec: yep; but i can be sure 100% that's the problem... maybe it is the sata drivers/config what failed [15:13] ubuntu dev packages for glib seems broken in intrepid? --> http://rafb.net/p/ikBxTy13.html how can I workaround that? I need to build glib [15:13] fde: but I'm building the kernel using all of the standard ubuntu tools for the job, this sin't a compilation issue, its a packaging and installation issue [15:14] sedi-d: go ahead.... what's your question. [15:14] erUSUL: true ... do you know how to tell what the initramfs image was built with? [15:14] Andreica: I would recommend tracker over beagle... but even that is going to be resource heavy as its going to be indexing a lot of stuff probably [15:14] fde: i already have a server install working fine, i'm just considering switching to the desktop one because i'm getting an eee box i can mount behind a screen :P [15:14] erUSUL: I'm thinking a re-install at this stage would be the quickest option, so I think I'll load up the machine and hopefully be able to back it up [15:14] fde: i'll probably need some sort of kvm or NX or something [15:14] taec: no; sorry... you should file a bug report to launchpad given all the details [15:15] heret1c: what has changed since then software/hardware wise [15:15] taec: hapefully there you will get better answers [15:15] Andreica, http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-281491.html [15:15] !bugs | taec [15:15] taec: If you find a bug in Ubuntu or any of its derivatives, please file a bug report at: http://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu - Bugs in/wishes for the bots can be filed at http://launchpad.net/ubuntu-bots [15:15] heret1c: if nothign try booting from the install cd and see if maybe it was an update that caused the issue. [15:15] how i formated the extra partion to ext 3 is that ok?, also when i click on it and try to create a new forlder in the new drive it wont let me, at propertys it says i dont have permission [15:15] heret1c: then you just need to figure out which update. [15:15] sedi-d, are you editing a mounted partition? [15:16] histo: nothing, afaik. [15:16] im not sure, its part of the same harddrive [15:16] sedi-d that means at least the TOC will be in use [15:16] andre_pl: where is it getting the version number from? it wants it there twice for some reason.... [15:16] histo: I'll check w. synaptic's history. [15:16] sedi-d, you are better off doing that with the livecd or the gparted livecd [15:17] ahhh ok [15:17] i guess ill google that thanks but what should i format it as after? [15:17] You can stretch an ext3 partition just fine while its mounted... just don't shrink it ;) [15:17] i stopped all beagle processes and RAM is still 700Mb [15:17] sedi-d, is this a dual boot or only ubuntu [15:18] idk whether gparted will let you, but it won't cause any issues at all [15:18] fde: I have no idea, i checked out the kernel source from git and followed https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelTeam/GitKernelBuild to build it. it worked the first time, but not since then [15:18] hi everone! i'm attempting to install ubuntu server 8.04.1 on a server with 4 disk hw-raid 1+0, so I have approx 1.4TB available.. now that i'm creating an lvm on it, i cannot get enough extents to allow me create 1490000MB vg for root and use the rest ~10GB for swap. what am i doing wrong, or should i just settle with the 400GB swap partition the installer suggests me? :) [15:18] reisi what raid controller [15:18] Andreica, are you using compiz [15:19] what would perform better on Ubuntu 8.10 amd64: ZFS using ZFS-FUSE or setting up a VM with FreeBSD using kernel-ZFS and using samba to mount on the linux system? [15:19] reisi why would you need a 400GB swap partition [15:19] histo: xulrunner and libxml updates. [15:19] andre_pl: hmm, then file a bug about it on bugs.launchpad.net under kernel-package .... that isn't normal [15:19] yes, there is so process [15:19] !who [15:19] As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [15:19] ikonia, seems to me he can't make the swap partition smaller [15:19] Andreica, turn off compiz [15:20] fluffles: thats not as I read it [15:20] fluffles: if you want zfs, solaris is the way to go right now [15:20] xRaich[o]2x, i see no reason to use solaris when there's FreeBSD with a good working kernel ZFS port [15:21] included in native dist [15:21] ??? Are there supposed to be so many instances of the same program running? http://s44.radikal.ru/i103/0811/86/af7ae4f954dc.jpg [15:21] ikonia: E200i from HP [15:21] fde: I tried asking in #kernel and apparently it doesn't look like anything kernel related, its a debian/ubuntu packaging thing they say [15:21] reisi what chassis is this in [15:21] fluffles: the zfs support on freebsd only supports version 6 by now. plus no nfsv4 acls and a lot of other stuff [15:21] andre_pl: yeah, its a kernel-package bug [15:21] reisi eg: is it the onboard one, or the pci version [15:21] xRaich[o]2x, point is, the disks are on a linux system. so i either have to use a VM and use FreeBSD to use the disks for ZFS, or use Fuse-ZFS which is by far not as good as FreeBSD's implementation [15:22] Mimi: for some programs, yes it's normal [15:22] andre_pl: kernel-package is a debian tool to compile .deb's from kernel source [15:22] so theres no way to get my extra partition to work through gparted? === h2o_backup_nick1 is now known as deuterium [15:22] xRaich[o]2x, the basic functionality is enough for me, but FYI the newest version (13 i believe?) has been ported as well, might or might not make it into 7.1 [15:22] fluffles: afaik zfs version 13 was commited 3 days ago to head [15:22] sedi-d, use the livecd or the gparted livecd; is this dual boot or only ubuntu [15:22] fde: ok thanks, I'm going to keep working away at it, I'm pretty deseratate to get his working today [15:22] fluffles: but that would be very bleeding edge [15:22] would ubuntu work on 790fx with raid enable [15:22] andre_pl: if its just for that box though, and you don't want to wait, you can try a regular compilation of the kernel.... but make sure you file a bug on kernel-package [15:23] sedi-d: I think your question has been answered a couple times now. [15:23] i dont wnat dual boot, i just wanna be able to use my extra space [15:23] kk [15:23] im just making sure [15:23] ikonia: it's onboard [15:23] sedi-d, only ubuntu? [15:23] ya [15:23] , [15:23] use ext3 [15:23] is that an bad idea? [15:23] reisi so your using the ubuntu install to create an lvm based system yes/no ? [15:23] fde: I dont know how to do a "regular compilation" what I dont get is that this exact process worked with the same kenel source the first time I ran it. [15:23] sedi-d, depends on you [15:23] histo: can u suggest a way to analyse it? [15:23] xRaich[o]2x, CURRENT is really quite stable, FreeBSD is a pretty conservative OS. it might be a good for users who need that bleeding edge and find themselves in a non-mission critical setup === Sync is now known as Sync08 [15:24] andre_pl: kernel-package is only really useful if you plan to move the resulting .deb to another machine or something, the normal process is much less error prone ime [15:24] another question: if i exchange the network card by a different model (i replaced a e1000 by a realtek 8139), do i need to tell ubuntu about it so it can access the network again? [15:24] ah thanks for the help guys [15:24] andre_pl: probably kernel-package was upgraded recently, idk [15:24] fde: where can I find the normal process? [15:24] i need a website play a sound in firefox (a chat telling me, if i got visitors), and have used to play .wav files (works in IE). Cant find out, how to make firefox play it, woo. I remember somtehing about qt, but FF doesnt ask me anymore... how do i make FF play wav? [15:24] fluffles: i'm going to checkout current today or later. my main laptop is running solaris but i have another one that's screams for freebsd ^^ [15:24] deuterium, what does ifconfig show [15:24] deuterium: sure, but make sure the card is 'supported' first. [15:24] hi.how can i determinate what type of mainboard i am using? [15:24] Can anyone help me with this embarassing problem: I accidently deleted my site-packages folder (python2.5) Now things are pretty messed up :( [15:25] would ubuntu work on 790fx with raid enable [15:25] bazhang: well, the box doesn't run at the moment, but it doesn't seem to be able to access the network [15:25] xRaich[o]2x, by all means, try -CURRENT, so you can see how FreeBSD + ZFS performs. Just make sure to recompile your kernel so you have all the debug stuff disabled [15:25] plz help me would ubuntu work on 790fx with raid enable [15:25] dlc: whats a 790fx with raid enable? [15:25] andre_pl: google knows... [15:25] any other method of audible signal would be okay, too. should work in any browser, if possible [15:25] deuterium, that card should be supported, you just need to check ifconfig for it [15:26] amd [15:26] Jeruvy: is there a ubuntu tool for configuring the network settings (i.e. tell ubuntu about the changed nic)? [15:26] ikonia: yes i am [15:26] bazhang: so it should be setup automagically? [15:26] fluffles: sure i will do it. but my main box will stay solaris. had freebsd some time ago. i still prefer solaris but freebsd is great also [15:26] andre_pl: its basically just 'make menuconfig && make && make modules_install && make bzImage' though... [15:26] deuterium, that one should do yes [15:26] reisi can you explain your layout ? (rememebr to make a seperate /boot parttiion outside lvm) [15:26] deuterium: ifconfig, network settings. probably some others too [15:26] i cannot locate a program to extract these 7z i have, archive manager won't do it. [15:26] ikonia: but i'll think i go with more static partitionin.. use 250MB for /boot, 100G for /, 10G for swap, and the rest for lvm for data storage [15:26] bazhang, Jeruvy: ok, thanks [15:27] raven: 7zip [15:27] Can anyone help me with this embarassing problem: I accidently deleted my site-packages folder (python2.5) Now things are pretty messed up :( Any idea on how I can reinstall the needed files? [15:27] reisi whoaa 10GB swap, thats a lot, but the rest seems quite snsible [15:27] there's a problem with configuring big ext3 partitions in the installer. You could try to create it another way, or maybe another system (xfs?) [15:27] andre_pl: there is more to read though if you want a decent kernel... you can use the old .config from Ubuntu's kernel too though like what your guide stated [15:27] raven: you've been told to get 7zip, 'sudo apt-get 7zip' [15:27] xRaich[o]2x, what are the things you like more on solaris than freebsd? [15:27] ikonia: hmm yes, but disk space is cheap [15:27] reisi: you should have no problems with a 1.4TB root VG, I have a box with just nder 4tb in one VG and there is no problem [15:27] hmw, "couldn't find package 7zip" [15:27] fluffles, xRaich[o]2x please chat in #ubuntu-offtopic [15:27] sorry [15:28] raven: p7zip [15:28] raven then search for the right name [15:28] ikonia: just that the ubuntu guided lvm SUGGESTED that 1TB root and 400G swap :) [15:28] raven: wait, p7zip-full [15:28] reisi ahh, the suggestion, sorry I missed that part [15:28] Kl4m, tyvm [15:28] fde: thanks. I'm going to give it a shot === slaytani1 is now known as slaytanic [15:29] when i turned off compiz, all windows dissapeared [15:29] Andreica: metacity --replace [15:29] I am looking for a way to make a SOUND with HTML in Firefox!

[15:31] hmw: please don't use opera, its crap and not a valid answer to your issue :/ [15:31] Sound? oh my bad, not sure what you mean exactly, I jsut got finished rubbing one out and came back to chat [15:31] it currently uses to tell me, that a visitor joined the chat. some time ago, FF asked me for a QT plugin, but it doesnt do anymore [15:31] Ahhh [15:31] !language | wavsyntax [15:31] wavsyntax: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly.

[15:33] Hmmm, would Java be a decent alternative? [15:33] i remember quicktime can play embed wavs [15:33] Lots of phones use Java apps [15:33] wavsyntax, have you tried asking in #web ? They might be able to helpp better over there [15:33] but how do i get this QT [15:33] hmw: no idea... firefox isn't a qt app, so I'd just ignore that [15:33] maybe i should downgrade to FF 2 [15:33] Wasn't my question, I'm trying to help as well [15:33] julian -> have you man tar yet? [15:34] I forget who originally asked the question [15:34] hmw: no... please answer my questions regarding what exactly is wrong, your question isn't very clear right now. [15:34] now.....how do I get my airport card working? [15:34] uhm [15:34] I appreciate the advice though, Mimi [15:34] i try... sorry. ...: [15:35] I jsut got into Linux the other day, tried Ubuntu and it totally failed, xubuntu is awesome though [15:35] Mimi: I'm fairly sure its a media plugin issue with Firefox that he's asking about... but wavsyntax keeps confusing him and myself with silly questions and unrelated advice. [15:36] !help [15:36] Hi! I'm #ubuntu's favorite infobot, you can search my brain yourself at http://tinyurl.com/5zfb6t - Usage info: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBots [15:36] i remember FF asking me if it should install a QT plugin, when the chat tried to play the wav. I think, this plugin was able to play the thing, but i am not sure, becaues it was a while ago. i dont find anything, how to get a qt plugin for ubuntu/ff nor does ff askme for ANY plugin anymore. i de- and reinstalled FF already [15:36] are you saying, there is no QT plugin for FF? [15:37] It's a bit difficult to keep up in here if you're not used to it I guess, which I'm not. [15:37] !who | wavsyntax [15:37] wavsyntax: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [15:37] comand to paste the partitions of the hard? [15:37] hmw: forget about qt... you want wav playback in firefox? sudo aptitude install ubuntu-restricted-extras, close out firefox and restart it and try again [15:38] Ah, I appologize ubottu, I'm used to speaking to pretty much anyone who's watching :p [15:38] wavsyntax: ubottu is a bot, not a real person [15:38] Wow, I'm a wicked noob [15:38] i wanna see the partions of the hard `cause i trying to configure grub [15:38] loller, sudo blkid [15:38] This is fun though [15:39] loller, sudo fdisk -l [15:39] wavsyntax: try #ubuntu-social ... this isn't a chat channel [15:39] or is it #ubuntu-offtopic? [15:39] #ubuntu-offtopic [15:39] I have a curious dual monitors issue [15:39] offtopic [15:39] offtopic fde wavsyntax [15:39] /server libres.irc-hispano.org [15:39] Alright then. [15:39] I'll go there. [15:40] I haven't been able to get dual monitors working with the ATI panel, but setting it up in xrandr seems to work [15:40] i.e. I can do xrandr --output CRT2 --right-of CRT1 [15:40] and I'm off to the races [15:40] BUT: I can't move windows from the first monitor to the second! [15:40] fde: any reason why using aptitude? [15:40] I can resize a window to span onto the second monitor [15:40] and once I've got a bit there, I can move it around fine [15:41] hmw: I just prefer it, much more powerful than regular apt-get... [15:41] mithraic, look into the xinerama extension.. not sure if it works with both nvidia & ati but I think it does.. [15:42] is that ok the part of loading windows http://paste.ubuntu.com/74810/ [15:42] mithraic: Xinerama may be a little deprecated. Xrandr however rocks... :) [15:43] hmw: while that's going though, can you type: dpkg -l totem-mozilla | grep ^ii ... then paste the output here so I can ensure it will indeed work? (its only one line, if it was more, you'd get in trouble for pasting here) [15:43] maybe this is just a compiz problem or something [15:43] hi again..guys im in love with Rhytmbox music player(Ubuntu 8.10) ..is there some sort of Equalizer plugin for it ? [15:43] i've turned off wobbly windows [15:43] Zzeiss1, true.. but how does mithraic get seperate x screens with "drag between" to work? [15:43] somebody or to check out manually [15:43] oh, and: I can drag from screen 2 back to screen 1 fine [15:44] but going the other way, the window just "sticks" at the screen edge [15:44] Chaostos: there has only been thoughts about it I believe....nothing out there yet from what I know [15:44] loller: it should be fine, yes... if Windows is at /dev/sda5 [15:44] how can i fix this error? mount /dev/sdb2 /usb1 [15:44] mount: you must specify the filesystem type [15:44] mithraic: hmmm... I saw that once. I think it was when I was still using Xinerama. Try not using it. [15:44] mithraic, if you have compiz enabled try turning it off. [15:44] mithrac: lemme check the config on my dualheaded machine -- one sec please. [15:44] k0rnz: mount -t whateverfs /dev/sdb2 /usb1 [15:44] fde nope it is in sda4 [15:45] ii totem-mozilla 2.22.1-0ubuntu2 [15:45] sorry, how do i turn off compiz (use metacity) entirely? [15:45] k0rnz: probably in whateverfs you want vfat [15:45] fde so i have to change it [15:45] mithraic: systemEffects disable them [15:45] ii totem-mozilla 2.22.1-0ubuntu2 [15:45] mithraic, appearances visual effects set to none [15:45] loller: yes... /dev/sda starts at 1, but grub starts with 0 [15:45] fde i see i start counting from 0 like the arrays in programing ... [15:45] erUSUL thanks [15:45] then alt f2 metacity --replace [15:45] fde ok [15:45] hmw: yes, that's fine... so once that aptitude command is done, you should be good to go [15:45] oh, yeah, you need to turn off compiz. And also try setting the subsection Display \n Virtual 3200 1200. [15:46] Then xrandr to get dual screens [15:46] fde: no :( [15:47] bazhang: he can just type metacity --replace ... no need to set compiz effects to none... in fact the latter is supposed to replace compiz with metacity [15:47] what's the xchat command to disconnect from the server u r on when u r connected to multiple networks ? [15:47] bazhang: the only reason you'd have to do both is if setting effects to 'none' fails to initialize metacity for some reason [15:48] Ximal: just right click on the server and close it [15:48] i upgraded my laptop to intrepid yesterday and now my resolution is all messed up again. I'm using nvidia driver. do I have to edit this stupid xorg.conf again? i thought i read so much hype that the days of xorg.conf were over [15:48] erUSUL: this is all my errors I am seeing when I try to mount /dev/sdb2 which is partition 2 on my usb flashdrive. the partition type is set as Linux when I created it in fdisk [15:49] http://pastebin.com/de1f22c4 [15:49] what application can i use to get images from my built in webcam? [15:49] my laptop supports 1920x1200, but all i can get is 800x600 [15:49] peepsalot, which card and did you install nvidia-settings [15:49] peepsalot: you can run this nvidia program that's under system: Administration [15:49] k0rnz: what filesystem is the partition formtaed with ?? [15:49] danub: cheese [15:49] update: Turning off compiz entirely does let me drag between monitors. [15:49] peepsalot: you need to install it [15:50] So that narrows it down to one of the 235 Compiz plugins. [15:50] ok, ill get it. thanks erUSUL [15:50] danub: no problem [15:50] k0rnz: my mount points are in /media [15:50] How do I remove parts of a picture in GIMP? [15:50] and you need to run it in an sudo wrapper or it will crash when you try to save settings [15:50] or on sone systems this may be /mnt [15:50] Stalker72: with the crop tool? [15:50] hmw: hmm... you restarted firefox? you can try installing 'sudo aptitude install wavpack totem-xine && sudo aptitude purge totem-gstreamer [15:50] e.g /media/camera [15:51] pr /mnt/camera [15:51] or [15:51] i have a question - it's not pure linux related but i would be very glad if someone could help.i have 865 foxconn motherboard.is there a way to enable usb keyboard at boot?lately i can't even boot my os.thx in advance [15:51] vmware doesn`t work after i upgrade from 8.04 to 8.10 looks like the kernels are incompatible any suggestion http://paste.ubuntu.com/74812/ ? [15:51] poopuser, is this ubuntu [15:51] aldarsior: Let's say I have a picture of a face and a background.. I want to remove parts of the background from the picture so only the face is left... Not just clear, but remove totally [15:51] hmw: they work here, but I use the xine backend for movies so that libdvdcss works... so it might be an issue with gstreamer idk [15:51] I installed ubuntu 8.10 on a hp laptop with wubi. It has an ATI graphics card and every time I reboot/shutdown/log out it freezes [15:51] erUSUL: I created /dev/sdb2 with filesystem in fdisk type: linux (83) [15:51] loller: probably you need to reinstall the vmware kernel modules (or reinstall vmware) [15:52] bazhang: but i want to boot my ubanto ; ) [15:52] poopuser: ##hardware [15:52] bazhang, aldarsior i get put into some safe graphics mode, and when i try to run nvidia settings it tells me "You do not appear to be using the NVIDIA X river PLease edit your X configuration file (just run nvidia-xconfig as root), and restart the X server." [15:52] fde: tu [15:52] k0rnz: but you did not fromated it yet... what filesystem you want to use in the parition? [15:52] poopuser: look for an option like "usb legacy support" in the bios setup [15:52] bazhang, aldarsior i ran nvidia-xconfig and restarted X, but still same issue [15:52] erUSUL how should i reinstall the vmware kernel ? [15:52] peepsalot, did you install the driver from hardware drivers? what card is this [15:52] k0rnz: you can use gparted to easily format it [15:52] fde / oskar thx for help === gds_lumut is now known as co_beny [15:52] erUSUL thanks [15:53] bazhang, i can't remember the exact card name, it's a quadro something [15:53] a system beep would be enough *sigh* did your last command, without much success... ibtw i ended up in aptitude's ui [15:53] peepsalot, check lspci [15:53] loller: not sure.. maybe they have a helpper script to recompile/reinstall modules? never used vmware [15:53] Anyone know how to get 802.11 N rates with intrepid iwlagn / intel 4965 using 2.6.27-7 x64 ? [15:53] bazhang, the restricted drivers manager says that the nviida drvier is in use [15:53] peepsalot, this is intrepid? [15:53] hmw: you certainly shouldn't have [15:53] bazhang, quadro nvs 140M [15:53] Maximander: i think that N spec is not supported in linux yet [15:53] I installed ubuntu 8.10 on a hp laptop with wubi. It has an ATI graphics card and every time I reboot/shutdown/log out it freezes [15:53] bazhang, yes [15:53] peepsalot, does it list more than one and say which is recommended?

[15:54] Stalker72, with the resize tool [15:54] bazhang, i am running the recommended version (177) there is also a version 173 [15:54] Stalker72: image>resize??? this is not really a gimp channel you know [15:54] Stalker72, check the gimp user docs at their site [15:54] Stalker72, the whole picture or just a layer? [15:54] the only problem is that if reinstall the vmware my virtual machine won`t work i afraid so .... [15:54] Hello, how do I reinstall the stock kernel modules using apt-get after screwing up in compiling modules? [15:55] bazhang, should I try 173? [15:55] fde: in firefox' settings, wav can be set to "Totem Web Browser Plugin" or "Movie Player (default)" and "Ask", "Save"... it neither asks nor asks me to save! [15:55] Stalker72, 'scale image' perhaps [15:55] peepsalot, once you enabled did you reboot? [15:55] lorenzosu: I want to remove some of the background completely.. [15:55] even vista supports 802.11n, and I see several tickets related to 802.11n and iwlagn. Is there a flag I can throw to test N support? [15:55] fde: i pasted your command badly... retrying [15:55] bazhang, it has been enabled the whole time since the upgrade. i have rebooted a few timne [15:55] Just a quick question...

[15:56] I need to install an ext3 driver on my Windows partition so Windows can see the Ubuntu FS [15:56] Stalker72, you really should go track down a GIMP tutorial or 3 [15:56] any tips? because I've never done this before [15:56] Stalker72, use the Selexct tool and 'select/cut' out whatyou dont want.. [15:57] salut tt le monde [15:57] How to reinstall the stock kernel modules? [15:57] NEWK: yes, or an ext2 driver. i heard, that there is no stable solution out there. correct me, if i'm wrong [15:57] NEWK: you want an ext2 driver ... ext3 is ext2 with a journel... you don't need that journel to just mount the partition [15:57] Dr_willis: That only clears it.. It doesn't remove it from the picture [15:57] oh, ok, cool [15:57] NEWK: You have three options: a real FS driver for ext2, an explorer extension, or a standalone app [15:57] http://www.fs-driver.org/ [15:58] thank you. :) [15:58] Stalker72, type "/join #gimp" (without quotes) to join the GIMP-related channel === kapipi is now known as kapipi_afk_coffe [15:58] Stalker72, depends on whatyou mean by clear vs remove.. add a transparency layer if you want to totally 'clear' an area [15:58] bazhang, any suggestions?

It has an ATI graphics card and every time I reboot/shutdown/log out it freezes [15:59] NEWK, the fs-driver tool under windows.. can cause some issues.. use it with care.. and i always 'unmount' the linux drives from their drive letters under windows - when Im not using them in windows.. [15:59] hello. I'm trying to disable the media buttons on my Toshiba laptop, but this toshset utility says my kernel doesn't have Toshiba support. How can I do this with the Ubuntu stock kernel? === Sander is now known as Ramsed [15:59] NEWK: the advantage to using a userland program on windows to browse ext2/3 partitions is that they don't keep it mounted === gds_lumut is now known as beny_co [16:00] unmounting it won't be too much of a problem [16:00] I'll just use the driver [16:00] and this the whole hibernate, corruption, or unclean dismount issues become non-issues [16:00] k, good luck [16:00] thanks [16:00] I have an ipw2200 wireless adapter. Since the upgrade to intrepid, my wireless keeps dropping/reconnecting. Any workarounds until the fix is released? I have associate=0 set already [16:01] fde: in FF: Edit/Preferences/Applications/WAV there is still those 4 options: Always Ask/Save/Movie Player(default)/Totem Webbroser Plugin and CHOOSE.

[16:02] fde: either i have become a normal user this night, or someting is wrong with my ubuntu. i dont have had much luck with it *g* only my 800MHz machine is doing really fine with ubuntu [16:02] mikevankuik: apt-get update will retrieve a list of whats availible [16:02] mikevankuik: applications -> Add/Remove [16:03] !info lighttpd [16:03] shoat: maybe linux-backports-modules-2.6.27-7-generic contains a more stable driver [16:03] lighttpd (source: lighttpd): A fast webserver with minimal memory footprint.

[16:10] yes [16:10] when I try to click on that drive in my computer, it says it's not formatted [16:10] then it asks me to format it [16:10] i want to run windows in a virtual machine under linux. which virtualization solution for linux can you recommend?

[16:18] Pici: he is trying to figure out why Ubuntu won't let him access its partition from Windows... how is it offtopic? [16:18] NEWK: is the partition still good? can you boot it? [16:19] ksbalaji: this seems unrelated to me... [16:19] when I download a packed file, how do I start the commands in that file? do I have to extract first somewhere? and after? [16:19] !usplash | mithraic [16:19] mithraic: To select the usplash artwork you want, use "sudo update-alternatives --config usplash-artwork.so && sudo update-initramfs -u" - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/USplashCustomizationHowto for adding your custom artwork [16:19] fde, is it not obvious, the software he wants to run is on windows to access ....... ext3 .... you would not expect a windows channel to support something like reading ntfs from a gnu/linux system [16:20] benoka: always extract the stuff before running it [16:20] mithraic, you seem to only have done the first part of that command [16:20] I see, thanks bazhang [16:20] benoka, what file and what are you trying to do [16:21] While I'm kvetching: In gnome save panels, when I begin typing it seems to change the filetype filter, rather than the filename. [16:21] Is that just the way it is, or am I misconfigured someplace? [16:21] mithraic, the highlighted section? [16:22] ompaul: try getting help from ##windows sometime, and you'll see my issue with that response... people in here are more likely to be experienced with it anyways [16:22] oskar-, pardon? - I said that after installing firestarter firewall in Hardy, my firefox does not show my bookmarks. Nor does it show the history. Can you help? [16:22] fde, not our problem [16:22] fde, is it not obvious, the software he wants to run is on windows to access ....... ext3 .... you would not expect a windows channel to support something like reading ntfs from a gnu/linux system <-- Actually, we do. [16:23] ok, suddenly i can't reproduce. ain't that the way. i'll go back to my corner. [16:23] hey wats the best distro [16:23] ompaul: I thought Ubuntu cared about support, no matter the issue, provided it is related to Ubuntu? [16:23] MacGyverNL, ehh read my comment again - ntfs reading using ubuntu is in factoids here [16:23] benoka, please keep it in channel [16:23] bazhang, ok [16:23] it's just too many things at a time [16:24] ksbalaji: yes, i understand. but i see no relation between installing a firewall configuration tool and disappeared bookmarks... maybe a random coincidence? [16:24] DarkKnight: you're asking #ubuntu so that is a flawed question... people in ##linux would likely recommend Ubuntu too though if you're a beginner [16:24] benoka, just type my name and me yours and itll be fine [16:24] fde, not windows support and it is not related to that, if that were the case using a mainframe and SAS software to export cvs files to your ubuntu platter would be of concern here, and it is not [16:24] Has anyone else failed to get the most recent updates, because of a "size mismatch"? http://pastie.org/319713 [16:24] bazhang, I'm trying to install gnokii from downloaded from here: http://gnokii.org/download/gnokii/ [16:24] benoka, what does gnokii do [16:24] oh yikes [16:24] what's the best car DarkKnight? [16:24] fde, if you want to discuss this further I suggest we do so in #ubuntu-offtopic [16:25] !offtopic | regeya [16:25] regeya: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [16:25] bazhang, it's an application for communication with mobile phones, mainly nokia === _DEadPuNk is now known as DEadPuNk [16:25] DarkKnight: of course, gentoo is the best distribution ;-) *duck* [16:25] ompaul: its cool... I guess I got the wrong idea about Ubuntu... guess I should direct Wubi issues to ##windows too, my mistake [16:25] benoka, install from repos [16:25] oskar: ever tried linux from scratch? *g* [16:25] oskar-, I feel that it is because of firestarter. Can I restore the bookmarks? [16:25] !info gnokii | benoka [16:25] bazhang, what is repos? [16:25] fde, oskar-; i m using ubuntu; but my peers have installed debian on college systems and people were dissatisfied. I am given the task to install the whole lab with the best OS not necessarily ubuntu... [16:25] fde, not the same issue and I think you know that [16:26] plus, the point I'm getting at DarkKnight, is that "best" is dependent upon what you need. For some people, Ubuntu is the best...oh c'mon, ompaul, let's not educate people by example... [16:26] benoka, sudo apt-get install gnokii [16:26] ompaul: I think its very related... its a Windows application. He wants to access Ubuntu from his Linux partition. [16:26] hmw: i wanted to, had started, but then had not enough time [16:26] Sigh..................... [16:26] fde, please stop. [16:26] Can anyone help me out with getting ndiswrapper installed on 8.04? [16:26] fde, not the same thing - please talk in -ot about this, I promise to be entertaining [16:26] regaya; read my above statement [16:27] $ sudo apt-get install ndiswrapper-common, ndiswrapper-modules-1.9, ndisgtk doesn't work [16:27] ompaul: Yes, but if you ask that question in ##Windows, we do answer. That's what I meant. It was also directed at fde's "they will laugh at him." [16:27] ompaul: Apologies for the confusion. [16:27] ...for some people, while for others no form of *n?x will work. Come up with a list of your needs, and start looking up various distributions to see what their strengths/weaknesses are DarkKnight...and based on ompaul's response, no need to scroll back, the conversation is over. [16:27] We're a bit off the topic of support... [16:27] DarkKnight: you have to know what you want, and then look, which fits best. there is no single scale like goodness [16:28] oskar-, I believe because this happened immediately after installing firestarter. FF3 behaves strangely. [16:28] Hi, I`ve installed 8.10 on a vaio laptop with wupi, strangly DVD playback and rhythmbox and Totem visualisation with skype picture is all jerky while flash movies play all right. Can you help me please? [16:28] palu [16:28] bazhang, ok, thank you, I'll try - on the other hand, I started to install some components already upon installation instructions manually, what do I do to them? how do I find them back...? :( or I should just forget about them... [16:28] benoka, the ubuntu software repositories; always look there first [16:28] muhamad [16:28] arpi, what are you using to play dvds? [16:28] muhamad, this is ubuntu support do you have a support question [16:29] oskar-, also FF3 address panel looks strange without http: ! [16:29] !info gnokii [16:29] VLC Mplayer Totem [16:29] ubottu lag [16:29] You have lag, I don't have lag [16:29] Can anyone help me install ndiswrapper? I'm trying to get some drivers to work but: sudo apt-get install ndiswrapper-common, ndiswrapper-modules-1.9, ndisgtk Doesn't work, it doens't find any of the packages. [16:30] what package owns the default ubuntu background and how does it set it to default? [16:30] ksbalaji: i suggest to make a backup copy of your firefox profile directory (~/.mozilla/firefox). then you can try to look into it and see, if you can repair it. i do not know enough about it, sorry... [16:30] benoka, how far along did you get with the installation [16:30] oskar, regaya; well th the tools we might as well use are UML , C, C++, DBMS, flash, java and the systems are client server......so the client-server which we setup must also not give problems.....the thing is dat everybody is a newbie to linux at my college, so I am supposed to easy to use, learn and implement OS [16:30] Anyone? :\ [16:31] DarkKnight, please join #ubuntu-offtopic [16:31] bazhang, so I should actually not download stuff from the internet but try and get them from the ubuntu software repositories? how do i find that? [16:31] where are the kernel drivers kept? [16:31] oskar-, anyway thanks for your interest. I shall try repairing. [16:31] benoka, from synaptic package manager, add/remove, or the command line apt-get (apt-cache search to search) [16:31] ... [16:31] arpi, are you using proprietary video card drivers? [16:32] benoka; system--->Administration---> Synaptic Package Managaer [16:32] bazhang, the command finished [16:32] Do you have any idea what can block my C-something key-bindings from working in LyX? It's an old-old problem here, but I can't find any clue on the net [16:32] benoka, was it installed successfully? [16:32] yes I use proprietary drives. [16:32] what does HAL failed to initialized actually mean?? [16:32] M-something works great (M = Alt key, C = Ctrl key) [16:32] Can someone help me install ndiswrapper on 8.04 I'm having a lot of trouble, I'm not sure if I'm using the right command ($ sudo apt-get install ndiswrapper-common, ndiswrapper-modules-1.9, ndisgtk) but it doesn't recognize the packages. [16:33] peleg: your lynx as it came, or did you tweak it? [16:33] is it possible it in anyway to create softare raid 0 on ubuntu 8.04 while the server is online? ive just noticed my 2 x 320 gb drives are not raided - using mdadm? [16:33] bazhang, seems to be the case, but I don't know where can I find it [16:33] hmw: LyX, not lynx [16:33] arpi, maybe try using xbmc, which used 3d accel, also you might try disabling that driver and seeing if it fixes vlc [16:33] Neconide: try typing the same just ithout , [16:33] hmw: and I did not tweak it [16:33] peleg: oops. sorry *g* [16:33] # [16:33] all the data is being stored on sda1, anyway i can just attach sdb1 onto it easily? [16:33] arpi, have you searched the forums to see if other people had problems with your laptop? [16:34] hmw: does that mean you don't have an idea? [16:34] peleg: sorry, no. i dont even know LyX :( [16:34] bazhang, ok i found it az xgnokii === leonel_ is now known as leonel [16:34] thanks! [16:34] benoka, nice [16:34] bazhang, as far as I know that's an extension to gnokii [16:35] benoka, yep [16:35] anyone know of a nice ui designer app for pytcl/tk ? [16:35] I know it's better to code them but I'm on a deadline [16:35] Try_Hard_Go_Pro: it still recognizes it as a seperation point because it doesnt say "cannot find package ndiswrapper-common," [16:35] I've tried to install them all seperately but it can't find them. [16:36] do you type $ infront of sudo [16:36] Yes I didn`t find anybody with similar problems. [16:36] I might want to note I'm dual booting vista and ubuntu, and the fact that WUSB600N isn't ubuntu-friendly is the only reason I can talk to you right now from vista. [16:36] cause you shouldn't [16:36] bazhang, connecting but not really doing anything... [16:36] Try_Hard_Go_Pro: no, I didn't. [16:36] !who | arpi [16:36] arpi: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [16:36] need help making a video of my desktop under ubuntu any suggestions on programs? [16:37] why don't you just try finding the packages in add/remove [16:37] !screencast | emilien [16:37] emilien: Some programs to capture your screen are recordmydesktop, Istanbul, Wink, Gvidcap, Xvidcap, vnc2swf, demorecorder. Also see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ScreenCasts. [16:37] emilien: istanbul [16:37] Ok I was addressing paule_ [16:37] ok thanks [16:38] arpi, does vlc play any video files without lagging? [16:38] Try_Hard_Go_Pro they're not there. [16:38] who am I? [16:38] I think I just got a bummed ass ubuntu install. [16:38] is it possible it in anyway to create softare raid 0 on ubuntu 8.04 while the server is online? ive just noticed my 2 x 320 gb drives are not raided - using mdadm? all the data is being stored on sda1, anyway i can just attach sdb1 onto it easily? [16:38] sorry raid 1 [16:38] Neconide: maybe switching to the main servers might help? [16:39] paule_ Vlc is not lagging system resources are not used extensively [16:39] arpi: did you try another DVD? [16:39] hmw: I can't connect to the internet because of my god damn WUSB600N and I need to install ndiswrapper to get it to work... I know usually WUSB600N isn't very friendly with ndiswrapper but I have a few tricks up my sleeve. [16:40] bazhang, it's not doing anything... :( [16:40] paule_Yes it is the same with all [16:40] neconide: well i installed it succesfully [16:40] propain: frank? [16:40] arpi, so the the problem is only with dvds? [16:41] Try_Hard_Go_Pro: That doesn't really help me :\ [16:41] hiiiii [16:41] hi. [16:41] ubuntu only recognizes my laptop's built-in wireless card, not the external wireless USB adapter, what can I do? [16:41] neconide: hmm what does it says you exactly [16:42] Paule_No ,I get similar jerky visualisations in music players and my skype picture is also jerky. [16:42] Try_Hard_Go_Pro: "Could Not Find Package ndiswrapper-common" or ndiswrapper-modules-1.9 or anything else [16:43] arpi: exlpain jerke a little more detailed, please [16:43] Try_Hard_Go_Pro: and yes I've tried to install them all seperately.

[16:45] what's the status of office2007 under wine? I'm getting conflicting reports all over google. Can i just run the installer under wine with no tweaking? [16:45] hello all, ubuntu only recognizes my laptop's built-in wireless card, not the external wireless USB adapter, what can I do? [16:45] arpi, sounds video card related, try disabling the proprietary driver and see if that fixes the problem [16:46] is it possible it in anyway to create softare raid 1 while the server is booted, without using the livecd etc? ive just noticed my 2 x 320 gb drives are not raided .. should i use mdadm? all the data is being stored on sda1, anyway i can just attach sdb1 onto it easily? and raid 1 it? [16:46] Paule_ Idid that, without good results. [16:46] Hello, what's the difference between acpi-cpufreq and speedstep-centrino? is it true that the latter one is now obsolete? I googled with the two names but seems can't reach a clear conclusion. [16:46] hi why does my dvdrw unable to read all dvd .it happen soon after akernek upgrade [16:46] arpi, was it the same problem or different then [16:47] neconide: try addind these lines int /etc/apt/sources.list [16:47] neconide: deb http://bg.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ intrepid universe [16:47] deb http://bg.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ intrepid-updates universe [16:47] Paule_ It was exactly the same. [16:47] vinnie: is it unable to read the dvd at all or only unable to play movies? [16:47] I have a samsung mp3 player and it for some reason does not wanna show up like other mp3 players. Does anybody have a suggestion as to why this might be happening? [16:48] benoka: did you check to see if that adapter was supported?

[16:49] benoka: you'll have to find the chipset make of your adapter... the list is not by brand name [16:49] alex I installed pclinuxos gnome on two drives in raid0 software raid that is its easy after you have done it once its a matter of make both drives Lvm then partitioning them [16:49] vinnie: maybe then you get error messages that help further [16:49] so look carefully on the box and on the adapter [16:50] anyone know about setting my ubuntu box up as a PPTP server? [16:50] oskar : i tried ,it do recognise som but unable to mount neither dvd nor csd [16:50] drindt: I don't see it listed as a valid package name in any supported release.

Never heard of that package. http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?suite=hardy§ion=all&arch=any&searchon=names&keywords=ndiswrapper [17:00] how do I find out what is locking up the sound dev on ubuntu ibex I get this error audio_alsa_sink[hw:0,0]: Device or resource busy [17:00] from what i can gather, if you have an erack server, you have to remove the hdd and install on another system and then replace the drive back into the rack server? [17:00] yes, so I do that and open a new terminal window, and it processes the ~/.bashrc (echo '~/.bashrc') but when I type env in the new terminal window, the variable isn't there [17:00] temppy: Can't I just go to ndiswrapper.sourceforge.net o_o [17:01] Has anyone else encountered this error when saving, from gedit, to a samba mount? [17:01] how can I allow a normal user to ping without sudo [17:01] Problem: Saving within gedit to an existing file on a samba mount yields error "text file busy" [17:02] eventi, a normal user can ping here without sudi [17:02] Details: Saving a new file doesn't have the problem. Saving with other editors (kate, gvim, etc.) doesn't have the problem. [17:02] which drivers do i need for Nvidia Geforce 6200 ? [17:02] temppy: alright now I think I can manage to install it, if I have any trouble I'll come bother you some more. :) [17:02] Neconide: that way, I would expect to be much harder. If you have the know how to go that route, then why ask here? Getting it from the repos is much simpler [17:02] shubbar, 177 [17:02] Can anyone reproduce? Anybody out there got a samba mount up, and mind trying to save a text file? [17:02] Neconide: sure thing : ) [17:02] ubuntu 8.10 gets ping: icmp open socket: Operation not permitted [17:03] Dr_willis: ubuntu 8.10 gets ping: icmp open socket: Operation not permitted [17:03] fosco__, "This driver is activated but not in use" why do i get this message for 177? [17:03] hi I have been running through this howto https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo#Configuration%20on%20startup however when I try to launch it then nothing is happening no error message nothing how do I solve this I also don't get any visual indications on the server that the script is running or being rejected [17:03] eventi, using ubuntu 8.10 64bit here.. and it works.

[17:04] eventi: anyway, i know that the problem is due to a bug that makes /bin/ping not suid root [17:04] eventi: so it can be fixed by making it suid root. [17:04] i received my erack server and i am perplexed with it. i actually did not realize that you have almost an ignorant bios for these things. so if i understand stuff correctly, i have to first remove the hdd and then put the removed hdd into another system and then install what i want on that hdd via the other system and then remove the hdd and then put it back into the erack server bay and then i can work with what i want then? [17:05] I though the ping not being suid - was not a 'bug' but a 'security feature' :) [17:05] thanks guys - worked perfectly [17:05] Dr_willis: well, it's not that way in standard Ubuntu at any arte [17:05] LjjjL, yep.. seen other disrtos with ping not being suid [17:06] sambagirl: erack? [17:06] can somebody help me with my question posted above [17:06] gnea yes eRack [17:06] www.eracks.com [17:06] * Gnea checks it [17:06] Hey folks, I got the Ubuntu LiveCD, but I don't see how to run ubuntu from it instead of installing on the disk? The ubuntu screen that shows up after boot is showing me install-related options and not livecd...

You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://wiki.ubuntu.com while you wait. Also see !patience [17:07] no i put one on it tho but maybe that cdrom is bad possibly. i dunno. [17:08] oh well.
