[00:00] Fougner, ahh ok gotta find that source then I guess [00:00] Fougner, no prob, but thanks for helpin out too. [00:00] has anyone got system sounds with compiz fusion? [00:00] Werenerd: many people are, please ask your question =) [00:00] whoa, i didn't realize Azureus had a linux port [00:00] Werenerd: ok, and your real question is? :-) [00:00] haha [00:00] azureus is java - multi platform [00:00] kkathman: exactley.. google is your friend [00:00] whoops, cross platform [00:00] Kanzar: you don't happen to have firestarter running do you? [00:00] After i upgraded to 8.10, ive lost lirc ir dev from /dev/input/event* any ideas? [00:00] it is running [00:00] no blocked connections, but the utorrent site check says the port is open, it's just azureus's check which is failing [00:01] Havin a little trouble under synaptic, package messed up, and now I cant re-install, purge, or remove it, any ideas? [00:01] sry should be www-data [00:01] My question is how do I do that? I have a DynDNS address that I use for FTP, do I just change my address to ssh://blah blah ? [00:01] Kanzar: well, java is cross platform, but certain things arent (for instance file paths are *totally* different across platforms) [00:01] heh [00:01] Which driver was probably installed, before i somehow activated the propriary driver? i still have clone mode (i want the second screen black again) and 3d wont work [00:01] DeVnOrE, chown: group not valid: 'luigi:www' [00:01] well, i'll just try some torrents, see if it goes green [00:01] anywho, that's wierd, yeah definitely just try and see what happens [00:01] What is recommended disk space (partitioned ext3) to install and run Ubuntu 8.10? [00:01] Werenerd: what program do you use to ssh? =) [00:01] hi! is there a fix for the window title bar nvidia glitch yet? [00:02] Fougner: so far all I have used is the Konsole [00:02] Werenerd: I use openssh, forward the ports on my router and use ssh user@host or putty if I'm on windows [00:02] anybody know how to make it so that when i move my windows, they go transparent?? [00:02] jafobuntu: i'm totally unfamiliar with that glitch, are you using compiz? [00:02] Werenerd: as powertool08 said, in the terminal "ssh username@host" [00:02] powertool08: what ports should I use? [00:03] luigi: luigi:www-data [00:03] Werenerd: don't forget to forward the port through the router [00:03] how do i install compiz? [00:03] Werenerd: SSH is port 22 by default [00:03] compile it [00:03] Fougner: powertool08 .... really? That is all there to it? [00:03] Werenerd: typically ssh runs on port 22 but you can set it to whatever you wish, I recommend changing it, keeps the auto attacks away [00:03] metbsd: sudo apt-get install compiz ? =D [00:03] powertool08: good idea [00:03] ello everyone [00:03] DeVnOrE, maybe with sudo?? [00:03] akorpija: go to compiz settings, module "Move window", set Opacity to e.g. 50% [00:04] sure [00:04] hello everyone, i am pretty new to linux and i want to know if and how can i enable system sounds with compiz fusion?ive tried many versions of linux and in none sys sound with compiz wont work!anyone have ideas? [00:04] hmw wow im dumb thanks bud [00:04] strN00B: ubuntu itself takes up around 3 GB (+ or - some) so if you're just trying things out, maybe 20gb would be enough (you could probably make do with even less, but I really don't recommend it) and then you want a swap partition, i use 4gb but that's horribly overkill [00:04] ok i already have compiz installed, but how to run it? [00:04] How would one go about getting rid of a corrupted synaptic package [00:04] Hi. just a question to make. any good E-R schema designing applications for linux? [00:04] gaby: are you saying that if you turn off compiz your sounds work? [00:04] Ademan, im doing an install for someone else, im using the livecd and enabled vnvidia driver, desktop effects enabled by default, titlebar not always rendered properly looks really bad [00:04] Petein: dia [00:04] Werenerd: pretty much, you can configure some stuff like public key authentication and other options [00:05] go into system>pref>apperiences>desktop effects [00:05] metbsd, you have to install compiz manager to configure stuff. [00:05] metbsd: system->preferences->appearance then select visual effects and "normal" or "extra" [00:05] why is it that when newer Ubuntu releases come out that they present a whole new batch of issues which were not prevalent in the prior release? [00:05] Werenerd: and make sure not to use protocol 1, its unsecure [00:05] yes werner [00:05] zetheroo: same reason Windows has the same issue really [00:05] kitche: which is? [00:06] powertool08: how do you make these configuration changes? CLI or is there a GUI tool you recommend? I am cool with text editing so that doesn't bother me [00:06] jafobuntu: wierd, I've never dealt with that, but then again i tend to avoid compiz, are desktop effects a dealbreaker? because things should be fine with them off... [00:06] zetheroo: that it's a new operating system version and does have bugs? [00:06] GodfatherofEire2: I'd try using apt-get -f install [00:06] Werenerd: you change a text file, editing the file can be done cli or gui [00:07] DeVnOrE, maybe!!! see this: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/75463/ [00:07] kitche: another question ... why is it that whenever a question is posed in regards to Linux that is slightly critical that the answer usually contains a comparative picture to Windows? [00:07] powertool08: lol [00:07] jafobuntu: by the way, there's a channel here #nvidia maybe they've heard of your problem/can help better [00:07] Werenerd: I also suggest disallowing root logins === tyler is now known as Guest66062 [00:07] zetheroo: no clue but my anwser is actually the real answer considering that most of the big distros do have issues on new releases [00:07] hey whats the command to renew my ip...I had dhcp set but I changed it to static...how do I renew my ip now? [00:08] is there wiki for virtualbox and host only network? [00:08] Fougner, didn't do it [00:08] zetheroo: that's why some advance users actually wait a few weeks to upgrade [00:08] powertool08: my ultimate goal is to show my uncle some stuff that I do on Linux (X forwarding ssh is awesome) that he cannot do on WIndows [00:08] !virtualbox [00:08] virtualbox is a x86 !virtualizer. A !free edition is available from !Gutsy as 'virtualbox-ose'. A non-free edition is available at http://virtualbox.org for most Ubuntu releases (help in #vbox) - Setup details at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VirtualBox [00:08] luigi: something is wrong with the config [00:08] Ademan, yes thanks [00:08] GodfatherofEire2: hmm [00:08] kitche: I did wait a couple weeks ... but have issues with the most basic things [00:08] m1r: does this DIA creates the sql code as mysql workbench does? [00:08] Werenerd: x forwarding can be painfully slow, but once you get ssh going then check out running a vnc client over a ssh tunnel [00:09] Fougner: "subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1", that's what I get. [00:09] DeVnOrE, ok... just << on ehte first line.. changed!!! [00:09] but same problem... [00:09] zetheroo: like what I do know some sound issues could be from pulseaudio if your having issues with sound [00:09] hey whats the command to renew my ip...I had dhcp set but I changed it to static...how do I renew my ip now? [00:09] GodfatherofEire2: okay, horrible. Do you know what packages are involved? [00:09] kitche: its come to the point where updating to the latest release is now pointless for me .. and for the majority of Ubuntu basic users [00:09] Guest57561: dhclient or dhclient 1 [00:09] Guest66062: try restarting you network =) [00:09] kitche: my issues are with Wireless, Sound and Printing [00:09] Petein: sry i thoughtu mean electronic scheme [00:09] Fougner: Yep, there's only 1 package. [00:10] I know exactly which one it is [00:10] GodfatherofEire2: which one? [00:10] http://pastebin.com/d5305958c could anyone advise me with this [00:10] kitche: its getting worse with each new release.. not better [00:10] Guest57561 /etc/init.d/network restart works the best for me [00:10] fougner: unplugging my router? === tuna-fish is now known as tuna [00:10] luigi: check if it [00:10] zetheroo: updating can solve a lot of those issues over time.. for me it was a motherboard compatibility problem that Ibex mostly solved. [00:10] Guest66062: no, on your linuxmachine.. sudo /etc/init.d/network restart [00:10] zetheroo: well sound issues could be from pulseaudio and wireless could be kernel problems and printing depends on the printer but I do know pulse audio is not the best of sound servers [00:10] Fougner: ttf-mathematica4.1 [00:10] scheck if it's wwwebserver or wwwserver in the conf [00:10] wonderful. compiling the driver from source doesn't work either. now i have no idea what i should be doing for this wireless. [00:11] bon comment ca margche [00:11] Hello everyone - Anyone know how to fix a bad synaptic - Or wichever causes any update/installation/uninstallation to tell me to write 'dpkg --configure -a' Wich doesnt work even with sudo - Thanks. [00:11] !fr | fredroth [00:11] fredroth: Ce canal est en anglais uniquement. Si vous avez besoin d'aide ou voulez discuter en francais, merci de rejoindre #ubuntu-fr [00:11] unlink: have you tried the wireless 2.6 kerneltree? =D [00:11] zetheroo: thats why you have live-cd to check if your system works before installing [00:11] DeVnOrE, ok... but the problem isn't solved: FOBIDDEN you don't have permission.... [00:11] kitche: with Gutsy everything worked ... with Hardy the microphone went completely .... with Intrepid Printing, Mic and Wifi are up the creek [00:11] Fougner: what do you mean [00:12] zetheroo: mainly for wireless I tend to stay away from the linux kernel really just because the drivers are not always the best besides the ones that are official [00:12] unlink: I posted a link here bfore [00:12] kitche: and I am not just talking about one machine ... its happening on quiet a few [00:12] sudo chmod a+r /home/luigi/wwwebserver [00:12] Hi, I installed a dir on my system, and I'm unable to rebmember where [00:12] yeah Gutsy was great, then after i updated to hardy i went back to Windows because ironically, that just worked [00:12] how do a search for a dir? [00:12] zetheroo: yes probably due to the kernel you could try and older kernel really [00:13] unlink: http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Download that's where I got my wireless working =) [00:13] DeVnOrE, you could see: http://217.133.74.142 [00:13] kitche: well trying an older kernel also makes other things buggy and then I will hear people telling me to upgrade to the newer one ... so its just a vicious cycle. [00:13] DeVnOrE, could i restart the sistem?? maybe.... [00:14] shouldn't be a issue [00:14] check the errorlog again [00:14] zetheroo: start filing bugs for broken things on launchpad.net :-) [00:14] zetheroo: myself I rather use an OS anymore then a "hacked" together system hence why I don't use Linux anymore but still help out once in a while but yes file bug reports and help out a bit to make ubuntu a bit better [00:15] Excuse me - Anyone know how I can fix my situation. I can't install/update/remove any applications. [00:15] Fougner: exactly which one do you have? [00:15] anyone know of any nice mind mapping tools? [00:15] zsquareplusc: done that and its gone nowhere [00:15] Fougner: i have an ar5424 [00:15] Awa: using what? synaptic? [00:15] or Add/Remove Applications [00:15] kitche: so your back to using Windows? [00:15] Fougner: ttf-mathematica4.1 is the corrupted package [00:15] zetheroo: no I use a BSD [00:16] kitche: I see ... [00:16] anyone know of any nice mind mapping tools? [00:16] people who use BSD are more different than people who use Linux, that's good [00:16] :-) [00:16] different > same [00:16] Spreadsheet: none of the works. [00:16] basso__: googled mind mapping linux? [00:16] kitche: liek why is printing simply not working? [00:16] basso__ try Labyrinth Mind Mapping [00:16] kitche: was working fine in Hardy [00:16] checking for LUA... configure: error: Package requirements (lua >= 5.1) were not met: anyone know what this means ? [00:17] auki doki [00:17] Awa: do you have the software sources worked out? [00:17] kitche: I have the printer installed and can print test pages ... but no program will print anything [00:17] is there still an issue with intel 4965 chipsets dropping wifi connections? (WPA Enterprise) [00:17] unlink: I don't know exactley. how can I tell? [00:17] zetheroo: could be due to cups or the linux kernel but my guess is that programs are not using cups actually if that is what your printer is using [00:17] Spreadsheet: Whenever i try / It tells me>E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem. [00:17] hi Daisuke_Ido === p is now known as ravster [00:17] hey Spreadsheet [00:17] GodfatherofEire2: sorry, I don't know then =( [00:17] -_- [00:17] man, since installing ibex the usual external USB mount problems have qudrupled [00:17] when run dpkg --configure -a [00:18] Helo people [00:18] Awa: run dpkg --configure -a then :) [00:18] A CD came with my wireless router... do i use it or can i secure my network with Ubuntu somehwo ? === brezzz is now known as brEz [00:18] it looks like dpkg is broken [00:18] Fougner, well, thanks for tryin anyway. [00:18] Fougner: check /var/log/messages === brEz is now known as brEz_ [00:18] everytime there's been an upgrade since Feisty there is been some piece of shit problem like this === dedi_away is now known as Dedi [00:18] Fiesty was the last good release [00:18] Spreadsheet: Ive done it, and tried sudo aswell. [00:18] hmm [00:18] that's strange [00:18] yeah i think his dpkg is broken [00:18] fix it people! [00:18] p4_: so submit bug reports and become part of the solution [00:18] :P [00:18] I need help with a dual-monitor system. Programs get dragged onto the next workspace, but not to the next monitor. I use xfce, and was hoping someone could help me. === Guest66062 is now known as soapy [00:18] kitche: "sudo /etc/init.d/cupsys restart" gives this error "sudo: /etc/init.d/cupsys: command not found" [00:19] Anyhow, does anyone know what this might mean '$MFTMirr does not match $MFT (record 1).' please [00:19] Awa: what was the output when you ran dpkg configure -a ? [00:19] Spreadsheet: gimme a sec / [00:19] zetheroo: not cupssys just cups [00:19] hmm [00:19] Looks like ubuntu's netmanager failed to use my netgear FA310TX (tulip) NIC. Any ideas how to fix it? [00:20] i'm back, it says firewalled :( [00:20] in 8.10, I change it from dhcp to manuel static address, but when it restarts it goes back to dhcp automatic everytime...any ideas...dhcp is enabled on router but i would like some to be dhcp and some to be static? [00:20] forget it, i'm going back to hardy [00:20] p4_: ntfs problem, i can tell that much [00:20] DeVnOrE: ok.. thats working .. does it usually take a long time? [00:20] soapy, create a new configuration.dont use the auto eth0 one. [00:20] Thanks Daisuke. I think i'll just go back to Hardy and wait for these problems to resolve themselves I'm not experienced enough I've spent 2 hours on it this morning [00:20] soapy: i usually stick the static routes in the router as well [00:20] that is far too long [00:21] ravster: could your monitors be switched? if you drag to the opposite side of the monitor does it move to the secondary? [00:21] Spreadsheet: Setting up language-support-ja (1:6.06+20060529) ... Then it stalls / wich i at first thought was due to it would need some time. But i tried letting it be for a day with no result. [00:21] DeVnOrE: gosh .. its still restarting [00:21] zetheroo: dunno havn't had any probs with cups (haven't updated my desktop yet) [00:21] powertool08: real quick question. If I disable root login and have a VNC session setup, I can still run sudo commands right? [00:21] ravster: You also might want to be sure that the option to drag to next workspace is disabled until it works right [00:21] DeVnOrE: ahhh... smart thing I suppose [00:21] unlink: sorry, can't see it in there =( [00:21] powertool08: No, if I drag the program window to the other side of the screen it just jumps to the next workspace on that side. [00:21] thanks [00:22] awa: huh sorry i cant help you, someone else can though [00:22] p4_: actually, from what i've been reading, if you still have windows, run chkdsk /f, then reboot twice... apparently the twice bit is the important part for some reason [00:22] powertool08: How do I do that? [00:22] I'm really bad at helping :( [00:22] I am trying to make shortcut by where it says application , places, system . I want it to be a shortcut to location such are / , How do I do that . I put in location / and it says that is wrong [00:22] zetheroo: yepp just upgraded my server and f**ked up my wireless [00:22] does anyone know what I can print test pages fine but no other program will print a thing? [00:22] Daisuke, this drive was mounting fine on this computer on Hardy before i upgraded last night. [00:22] Spreadsheet: Ohwell, just glad anyone responded. Thanks anyway! [00:22] DeVnOrE: I am haveing Wireless issues too .. Atheros chipset :( [00:23] Werenerd: yes you can still do sudo [00:23] Does ubuntu have good tulip NIC support? Trying to figure out why 3 different tulip cards are failing... [00:23] ravster: I'm not sure, I've don't use xfce [00:23] me to, and i have it set up as a AP [00:23] Anyone know how to fix a broken dpkg? [00:23] Awa: what package is it crashing on? [00:23] tarelerulz, open your file manager in the desired location, then drag the folder up to the panel [00:24] Awa: what did it say when you tried to run reconfigure all? [00:24] powertool08: thanks. [00:24] Werenerd: if you're going to do vnc make sure you set a vnc password with the command 'vncpassword' or anybody can connect to your session and have full access to whatever your user does [00:24] tarelerulz, by file manager I mean nautilus (others might also work) [00:24] AskHL, the location I want it / not directory called root [00:25] My Ubuntu desktop (Feisty Faun) is a bit overdue for a version up-grade. What command would I use? [00:25] Daisuke_Ido: a language support / ja_JP [00:25] Awa: the best advice i've seen is to check to see what package(s) cause it to fail, then manually remove those, then try reinstalling the package [00:25] hello everybody, has anyone managed to run the settlers 2 (10th anniversary) on ubuntu 8.10 with dual monitor setup? [00:25] !upgrade | Phineas [00:25] Phineas: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes [00:25] Werenerd: and since you're doing a ssh tunnel into the machine, look into only accepting vnc connects from the localhost [00:25] going to test out xmind :) [00:25] does anyone know how to get rid of the black background on conky in Kubuntu? [00:25] Daisuke_Ido: How do i locate it on my computer? [00:25] fuck this, back to Hardy. I'll upgrade to 8.10 when 8.20 comes out === bazhang_ is now known as bazhang [00:25] good luck with your problems guys [00:26] where do i check to see what runs @startup? im trying to add mpd to start @boot [00:26] anyone? ... I need printing help [00:26] powertool08: you lost me on that last one. Only accept from local host? Like I have to be in front of the PC? [00:26] Werenerd: kinda [00:26] thank you, will check it out [00:27] Awa: just dpkg -r [00:27] Daisuke_Ido: Thanks, will try that. [00:27] good luck :D [00:27] Werenerd: but since you are logged into the machine with the ssh tunnel, it sees the connection as coming from the localhost [00:27] tarelerulz, okay. You can make a link to anywhere, then edit the destination (right click on it and change its path). (This is the wrong way to do it, of course, but dragging the file system icon doesn't work I think) [00:27] powertool08: oh. Weird. I did not know that [00:28] powertool08: I am going to screw around with it a little bit now [00:28] tarelerulz, the location should be file:/// [00:28] hi. in order for skype to work with my webcam, I need to start it with LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libv4l/v4l1compat.so skype. From terminal it works OK, but when I put this as menu command, it does not. How can I modify the application meny entry so it starts it with LD_PRELOAD? [00:28] AskHL , thanks for your help. It is not that easy to understand. I would think location would be easy to define / would cover ,but it turns out it need file /// . How would you find out such . So I don't need to ask [00:28] Werenerd: good luck :D [00:29] tarelerulz, which *exact* folder do you want to make a link to? [00:29] DeVnOrE, nothing! webserver don't want to work! [00:29] tarelerulz, *is* it the file system root, i.e. "/"? [00:30] luigi: what does the errorlog say? [00:30] gah. going to have to tell the owner that they can't use wifi with linux on this computer :\ [00:30] what a colossal waste of time. [00:30] so anyone else having lack of sound? [00:30] unlink: you didn't get it to work? =( [00:30] ffff [00:30] i give up [00:30] Fougner: nope [00:30] Hi, I'm having difficulty enabling auto-login on my Ubuntu 8.10 laptop. [00:30] AskHL, yes / is what I want to make link too. I got it working. is there doc how the working of gnome . If I say wanted to create short cut to / in Nautilus I could [00:31] Fougner: i tried everything [00:31] luigi: just pm me the 3 last lines [00:31] unlink: even the wireless 2.6 kernel patch ? =D [00:31] tarelerulz, in the Nautilus side bar you can drag the "File System" symbol up there, that'll work too [00:31] even. [00:31] hi - as many people report ipw2200 isn't stable in intrepid. does anybody know if this is an ubuntu or an upstream kernel bug? or is there a fix I missed? [00:31] oh [00:31] Installed all of the ubuntustudio packages on top of fresh ubuntu 8.10 but when I boot into rt kernel: wifi not working and jack won't start [00:32] still having printer issues [00:32] please help [00:32] tarelerulz, the documentation for Nautilus should provide the answers for most questions. Generally, all Gnome modules are documented. Just use F1 [00:32] DeVnOrE, [Sat Nov 22 01:30:11 2008] [error] [client 127.0.0.1] (13)Permission denied: access to / denied [00:32] DeVnOrE, [Sat Nov 22 01:30:10 2008] [error] [client 127.0.0.1] (13)Permission denied: access to /favicon.ico denied [00:33] okok [00:33] AskHL , say I wanted to add shortcut to places ? How might I do that. That is what I really wanted [00:33] zetheroo, which printer [00:33] !cups [00:33] Printing in Ubuntu is done with cups. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Printers - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsPrinters - http://linuxprinting.org - Printer sharing: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NetworkPrintingFromWindows [00:33] zetheroo, read that ^^ [00:33] bazhang: hp laserjet 1010 [00:33] tarelerulz, System -> preferences -> main menu [00:33] ls /home/luigi/ | grep wwwbserver [00:33] :) [00:34] ls -la /home/luigi/ | grep wwwbserver [00:34] zetheroo, did you read the printing docs above? the hp printers work very well in linux [00:34] Installed all of the ubuntustudio packages on top of fresh ubuntu 8.10 but when I boot into rt kernel: wifi not working and jack won't start [00:34] tarelerulz, although the Places menu is not listed for some reason.... let me see [00:34] hey [00:34] bazhang: it did work very well in Hardy [00:34] DeVnOrE, drwxr-xr-x 3 luigi www-data 4096 2008-11-22 00:29 wwwebserver [00:34] weird.. :S [00:35] zetheroo, what is the problem then? are you sharing a printer with a windows computer? [00:35] bazhang: I can print Test Pages only [00:35] bazhang: the printer is shared on the network.. but its connect to my computer directly [00:35] zetheroo: you might try sudo /etc/init.d/cups restart [00:36] zetheroo, try his suggestion [00:36] DeVnOrE, i forgot to tell you that i'm on 64bit... it was amportant??? [00:36] Scunizi: did that [00:36] nope shouldn't make any diff [00:36] DeVnOrE, maybe all the problem are on 64 bit??? [00:36] luigi: nah [00:36] zetheroo: did you use the "Add Printer" function to get the drivers loaded? [00:36] tarelerulz, okay, I don't know how to do that. Seems pretty illogical that the Places menu cannot be edited while the other two menus can easily be edited. [00:37] Anyone with a bcm4328 connecting to an 802.11n router? I'm only getting 12MB/s instead of 54MB/s (g) or 130MB/s (n). I'm thinking it doesn't support 802.11n [00:37] grahhhh [00:37] hello, for whatever reason, the network manager doesn't seem to work [00:37] bazhang: when i try to print from another application there is a messages saying "Printer X may not be connected [00:37] Installed all of the ubuntustudio packages on top of fresh ubuntu 8.10 but when I boot into rt kernel: wifi not working and jack won't start [00:37] is there a way to force it to look for wireless networks? [00:37] DeVnOrE, try to delete apache and purge, and reinstall? [00:37] DeVnOrE, maybe apache get crazy? [00:37] bluesmoke: 12MB? big B as in Bytes? that would be quite ok. [00:37] luigi: yes and stick to the /var/www ;) [00:38] tarelerulz, okay, I found it. Open Nautilus, then drag an arbitrary folder into the side bar [00:38] zetheroo: have you checked http://127.0.0.1:631 ? that's the ui for Cups [00:38] Scunizi: yes ... like I said the Print Test Page works fine [00:38] sudo apt-get --purge remove apache2 then [00:38] zsquareplusc: I always do that, I meant bits. It's actually connecting at 24Mb/s [00:39] zetheroo: I was only asking about your method of installation.. some will try to use the drivers off the HP site. Just wondered about that. check the address in my previous post and make sure that the printer is listed there and has the correct driver. [00:39] tarelerulz, you may not be able to drag the "File System" link, but you can *click* on the link and then drag the button above the side panel which can be used to access superfolders [00:39] bluesmoke: :-) ok you had better signal with the same physical configuration previously? or was it always like that? [00:39] DeVnOrE, have i to delete the .conf after purge apache? [00:39] tarelerulz, that will definitely create a link to / in your places menu [00:40] zsquareplusc: Well, it's wireless. In OS X I get 130Mb/s in the exact same location (my desk) as I get 24Mb/s with Ubuntu [00:40] luigi: do that [00:40] drivers [00:40] Scunizi: ummm it just started doing something else really strange ... [00:41] zetheroo: what's that [00:41] Scunizi: when I send it a print job nothing happen for about 2 min ... and then I see a pop-up saying that the Printer may not be connected ... right after that it prints. whats that all about? [00:41] hoohaw ubuntu [00:41] Can I add a user via the terminal but the user doesn't have a specific shell (e.g. --shell /bin/bash, can It be blank somehow...) [00:41] DeVnOrE, apt-get purge apache is correct? [00:41] Installed all of the ubuntustudio packages on top of fresh ubuntu 8.10 but when I boot into rt kernel: wifi not working and jack won't start [00:41] bluesmoke: ok it may be the driver that is either limited or not so good. with the kernel driver for the EEE pc i also get worse performance than with madwifi for example [00:41] --purge [00:41] zetheroo: is this a usb printer or lpt printer? [00:42] Scunizi: USB [00:42] AskHL, I did make link to root in location shortcuts use what you told me. I guess puting location in places is not done. It could be live thing. like it adds stuff there when you plug something in or it see a partition [00:42] zsquareplusc: Yeah, I'm thinking I should try ndiswrapper instead. Although it chews battery life :/ === Stargazer|is|18 is now known as Stargazer [00:42] zetheroo: try turning off the printer and then changing the usb port.. then plug it back in. [00:42] Scunizi: tried that already ... :) [00:43] zetheroo: or I should say plug it into a different port preferably one that's not on a hub [00:43] bluesmoke: it may also be that the linux driver is using an other power setting (antenna output) than osx but dont ask me how to check for that :/ [00:44] tarelerulz, be sure you drag it *below* the other things in the Nautilus side bar. This works for me. [00:44] ok, so running chkdsk /f in windows & restarting twice DID actually work [00:44] i'm still puzzled why this is nessecary in Ibex & not in Hardy? [00:44] Its tempting to continue and give Ibex a chance, I hope I don't regret it [00:44] tarelerulz, (not all of the other links in the nautilus side bar appear in the Places menu) === bluesmoke is now known as Amaranth [00:45] Guys, how do i secure a linksys WRT54G2 router ? [00:45] Stargazer, install ddwrt [00:45] then run WPA2 [00:45] bluesmoke-> yes its related to the driver, you can compare with your osx on the iwpriv results and see what settings you can set [00:45] Stargazer: or install tomato [00:45] Zsquareplusc, p4_, which is easier to manage ? [00:45] Scunizi: ok and now its not printing at all again === Amaranth is now known as bluesmoke [00:46] tarelerulz, if this is tricky you can obtain the same result by adding a bookmark in Nautilus [00:46] zetheroo: was in in a hub before? [00:46] Stargazer, I haven't tried tomato so I can't comment. I'm using a WRT54GL and ddwrt shits on the linksys default drivers [00:46] Scunizi: yes ... now not [00:46] zetheroo: reinstall the print driver but leave the other one there.....you can delete it later. [00:47] Scunizi: ok... [00:47] tomatos are pretty good espcially with salt and pepper [00:47] Stargazer: i'm not sure if it works on your hardware, but tomato is great and for me its easy to use. realtime bandwidth graphs and such :-) [00:48] wow, sounds good squarepulse [00:48] Scunizi: should I select driver from database or from download? [00:48] might have to give it a go [00:48] zetheroo: database [00:48] I'm having a problem with Braserio. I'm trying to burn a music CD but it's telling me I have insufficient space on the CD. i'm only trying to burn 55 mins. the burn window is telling me i have 0 bytes free but the status says "the media can be recorded" [00:48] Scunizi: it found one to download .... and before I tried it several times from the database [00:48] Zsquareplusc, link me ? cause all i'm finding in the repos is a tomatoes game. [00:49] zetheroo: does it offer several suggestions for that printer in the database? [00:49] Scunizi: ok well I went with the database one ... now there are 3 options for drivers ... [00:49] I've burned these CDs before, but not since I upgraded to 8.10 [00:49] zetheroo: is there one with a hplip reference? [00:49] AskHL, I don't think there is any easy way to add stuff to places [00:50] p4_: best router i ever had. you can configure that wifi is off during night unless at weekends and such. and i've set it up so that i can network boot my PCs with ubuntu (needs dhcp config which it supports) [00:50] Stargazer: http://www.polarcloud.com/tomato [00:50] Awesome [00:50] cheers dude [00:50] zetheroo: or I should say... what are the three? [00:50] tarelerulz, I did it. Add a bookmark in Nautilus. Use the bookmarks -> add bookmark in Nautilus [00:51] Scunizi: 1. Foomatic/hpijs (this is the one I have been using till now) 2. CUPS+Gutenprint 3. CUPS+Gutenprint Simplified [00:51] Hi all, Does someone have a moment to answer a compiling question? [00:51] zetheroo: try #2 [00:51] tarelerulz, it will appear below "home folder" and "Desktop", but above the other things [00:51] AskHL, that will make new folder short cut in the place menu at the top . The one by applications at the top of the screen [00:52] Scunizi: ok ... installed [00:52] Anyhow thanks for the tips guys. Good luck with your systems I'm going back to rebuilding this desktop. [00:52] later [00:52] Scunizi: should I do anything before trying to print? [00:52] oaxamatt1: just ask, thats theirs policy... [00:52] ok [00:53] Scunizi: this is the Device URI : hp:/usb/hp_LaserJet_1010?serial=00SGFB549271 [00:53] zetheroo: give it a shot [00:53] Hello room. [00:53] how do i get rid of this damn auto eth0 thing in 8.10....I deleted it...it came back on restart...I chose for it to not connect automatically and on restart it just made another autoetho...i made a secondary connection called static [00:53] AskHL, You are the main I had been looking for that for years and never gotten it working. Seemed odd to me that you could not do it by menu [00:54] zetheroo: sometimes they setup the printer for A4 paper size.. just in case your using 8.5x11.. you'll have to change the setting in http://127.0.0.1:631 [00:54] tyler_ did you use the network manager to configure? or /etc/network/interfaces? (us ethe 1st) [00:54] Anyone have any idea why I can only drag things onto half of my second monitor? It's displaying the full screen. And I have a panel across it. And I can move my mouse on the whole screen. But windows won't move into. [00:54] network manager [00:54] zsquareplusc [00:54] tarelerulz, yeah, I was a bit confused for a while too [00:54] tarelerulz, it's rather illogical that the menu editor does not contain any information on this [00:55] hi [00:55] tyler_, i just leave it be and use the radio button to connect to my secondary... [00:55] Scunizi: hey it printed ... :) ... but I accidentally clicked on Hide on the printer notification applet ... know how I can get it back? [00:55] Okay, whats the deal with audio. I've been running xubuntu 8.10, and installed ubuntu by "apt-get install ubuntu-desktop" and now sound does not work. [00:55] zetheroo: you're on your own on that one.. sorry.. :) [00:55] darkdeeper: but on restart you have to manually do it everytime? [00:56] this is on a server so i would like it to connect to the same IP everytime...but its keep getting this auto crap which is using dhcp [00:56] Installed all of the ubuntustudio packages on top of fresh ubuntu 8.10 but when I boot into rt kernel: wifi not working and jack won't start [00:56] Scunizi: ok... I am going to try this printing thing again ... so it looks like it was a driver issue huh!? [00:56] tyler_, im a noob but try menu > system > administartion > services.. can it be there? [00:56] AskHL, looking at it . you be able to place any of the short cuts any where you want . If it be places or app , system easy . Drag the icons on the menus the selfs [00:57] zetheroo: sure does. [00:57] Scunizi: yay ... its printing ...! Thank you SO much! [00:57] Hi all, I am trying to compile this small prog on encryption and not getting thru it. [00:57] zetheroo: so 1 out of 3 solved. up to the next one ;-) [00:58] zsquareplusc: ha ... correct [00:58] zetheroo: congrats! No Problem [00:58] hello [00:58] I did the std build-essential then ./configure (which went well) then did make and that is when I ran into problems. [00:58] zsquareplusc: well the mic issue is a no-go ... but the Wireless is still a mystery [00:59] why does ubuntu does not have the latest open office version? [00:59] I can't get past the make command [00:59] is there any good ajax toolkit for open source [00:59] I installed Windows on a machine that had Ubuntu previously installed. How can I setup boot loader so that I can boot back to Ubuntu? [00:59] Garnol9155: because OO was not ready when the release was frozen [00:59] i did it once, but forgot how [00:59] it seems ubuntu cannot detect that my monitor is widescreen, how can i fix that? [00:59] cant get 1900x1200 but i can get 1600x1200 [00:59] why is it not part of the "updates"? [00:59] anyone know if there is a better wifi driver than the one used in Intrepid for the Atheros chipset? [01:00] zetheroo: madwifi? ndiswrapper? [01:00] zsquareplusc: should i type something in my interfaces.conf? [01:00] anyone know anything about compiling progs [01:00] tyler_ no. using the network manager should be better now. [01:00] Garnol9155: i found you a beta if you dont mind? http://openoffice.bouncer.osuosl.org/?product=OpenOffice.org&os=linuxinteldeb&lang=en-US&version=3.0.0beta2 [01:01] that's 3.0 beta 2 [01:01] zsquareplusc: hmm ... I thought the madwifi driver was the one used in Intrepid!? [01:01] Is there an equivalent in gnome to kde 4.1's alt-f2 (quick search). Includes launching applications. [01:02] bye [01:02] zetheroo: did you install the ubuntu-restricted-extras package yet? [01:02] Scunizi: nope [01:02] zetheroo: search synaptic for it and install.. Atheros should work then [01:02] where are gedit themes located? [01:03] zetheroo: dont know. but on the EEE pc is not the same in the kernel and what i installed manually [01:03] isleshocky771 yes there are.. cant remember name, i would google "quicksilver for ubuntu" [01:03] zsquareplusc: how do i get rid of this auto crap forever...!!! [01:03] what does auto lo mean in my interfaces.conf [01:03] how can i make my drivers recognize my resolution? [01:03] Scunizi: well its not that it does not work at all .... kinda like the printing [01:04] which is the best way to develop ajax applications using open source like we have in windows Dreamweaver spry and Visual studio .net incude ajax toolkit [01:04] Scunizi: it just takes forever to locate any wireless networks and even longer to connect [01:04] tyler_ "lo" is the interface that is used for localhost and other local connections (127.0.0.1 etc). it should be started automatically with that [01:04] zetheroo: are you using any encryption? [01:04] hey i need help with my resolution.. [01:05] Scunizi: on one wifi router yes and on the other not ... [01:05] Scunizi: and its the same story with both [01:05] i cant use my screens max resolution [01:05] zetheroo: sorry I gotta run.. hopefully someone will pick this up.. wife is yelling that we have to go.. good luck [01:06] Scunizi: should I reboot? [01:06] ok [01:06] so noone can answer my question about max resolution? [01:06] zsquareplusc: if i made a new connection called static i could just type static in the interface file and it will connect to that on startup? [01:07] DeVnOrE, ok.. it work! [01:07] nbeebo, have you added the reolutions to your .conf? [01:08] anacranom: how do u do that? [01:08] anacranom: i have the conf open in gedit right now [01:08] also my netmask keeps getting changed to 24 from 255.255.255.0 [01:08] nbeebo, have a sample on my other box,, join #SeaPhor and ill go there and give you the sample [01:08] DeVnOrE, ops.. it works! my english it's so shameful!!!! worse tha my knowledge on linux! [01:09] ok [01:10] tyler_ hm maybe. but i think they discourage that with intrepid [01:11] i just installed ubuntu 8.10 on an eee pc 900. im looking into overclocking, however ubuntu doe4s run quite well as is. im not so versed in terminal. is this a good idea or a bad one [01:12] alec868 overclocking never [01:12] alec868: overclocking uses more power (battery) so you may be h appier by 1st trying to disable visual effects and such. overclocking may still be interesting for some applications though [01:12] hey I have a stupid question [01:13] Does ekiga call regular phone numbers, or only other ekiga subscribers? [01:13] i guess :) ekiga subscripers [01:13] flashprolinux: in that case it isnt that bad. at least the EEE pc 700 contain hardware for 900MHz but they run it only at 600 by default..

My dpkg issue is now fixed. [01:14] awesome, glad that worked for you :) [01:14] ciao a tutti [01:15] what's different between ubuntu and debian? [01:15] i also am having a minor issue with wireless on the eee pc, i have to turn of the drivers everytime i shut down, and then restart them each time, is there a way to fix this? [01:15] Daisuke_Ido: ^^ So am I, been trying to sort it out for a month or so. Looking all over internet for help. But couldn't find any solution wich didn't involve me to install or remove anything. Wich again caused me to see the bothering message. [01:16] Daisuke_Ido: Anyhow, just popped in to say Thanks! You made my day =) [01:16] How do I get VNC to run as a user (not root). I have it configured properly to start a gnome session and give me a proper desktop, but it will only run as root. If i try starting it as a user it says "xauth: error in locking authority file /tmp/...." [01:16] just glad i could help :D === CPHNUser907 is now known as Anonymous762 [01:16] have a good one, and drop back in if you have any other issues [01:17] Hello... I need some help with ubuntu installation. [01:17] Will do - Until then, take care! [01:17] hey, im working in emacs to edit .cu files that have C source code in them, how can i make emacs colour this extension with C source formatting? [01:17] Is there anybody here who can help me? [01:17] I should have been more clear - I want the session to be that of my user, not root. Currently, the gnome session is for root. [01:17] jason_: hm. it shoud basically work to start as manx vncserver as a user as you want. but maybe gnome isnt allowing the same user multiple times on one machine [01:18] can anyone tell me how to get web cam working in ubuntu on eee pc? [01:18] does ekiga call regular numbers, or only other ekiga clients? [01:18] zsquareplusc, nope - i can start multiple gnome sessions as root [01:18] zsquareplusc, seems like a permission issue [01:19] zsquareplusc, btw, I had to use "gnome-session &". the default SESSION_MANAGER setting didn't work [01:19] Uhm, well anyways... I'm trying to install Ubuntu but I'm afriad it will corrupt my windows, as I do not own this computer and was hoping if somebody could give me instructions so Ubuntu could run alongside windows; or whatever. [01:19] wiseman: well calling "normal" phones involves paying money to someone. so you'd need a provider for such a service. there are i think also for protocols that ekiga supports [01:19] Anonymous762: When you install it, it'll prompt you for partitioning. you just make a new partition [01:19] Alright [01:20] Anonymous762, did you try the Wubi installer? It will allow you to install Ubuntu in Windows without reformatting/creating new partitions. [01:20] zsquareplusc: that's what I figured, but it was all "Free this and free that" and I was like "what the hell?" [01:20] hey guys, who knows the command to burn an iso? [01:20] I burned the current version of Ubuntu right off the website. [01:20] I'm a programmer, and I figure Ubuntu would fit like a glove. [01:20] drumstyk1: cdrecord? [01:21] Anonymous762, Are you worried about corrupting Windows/losing data or you just don't want to repartition? [01:21] I'm afraid of coruppting... [01:21] zsquareplusc: you question mark concerns me, lol [01:21] jason_, it is NOT his PC [01:21] I've enjoyed every minute of ubuntu so far since I got it working properly [01:21] ah, missed that part - sorry [01:21] Anonymous762: backup :-) then the cd should propose to repartition the hard drive and resize the existing parititon. [01:21] There's a crap load of information on this computer, and corrupting it would really be a big problem. [01:22] Anonymous762 when you run the install script from the ubuntu live cd, during setup iit asks you if you want to keep any windows partitions and just resize the windows one. but sometimes it doesnt work [01:22] <----hasn't lost a thing [01:22] i figured i could cd into the directory and do some "sudo write *.iso" or somethin to that effect [01:22] drumstyk1: i'm just not sure if its the one ubuntu uses. it is a cd writer app [01:22] if it's not his PC, he should back up before installing (should do so anyway) or run off the live-cd [01:22] hola [01:22] Anonymous762 otherwise youll have to do a fresh install if windows, then ubuntu [01:22] It says in the booting tutorial that when the installation is finished it will show me a screen to choose either windows or... whatever [01:22] alguien ahi_ [01:23] sorry no speak english [01:23] Does it ask me this near the end or beginning? [01:23] Because I attempted to see what the installation was like at my friend's house and I don't recall seeing that. [01:23] Or am I just not looking hard enough? [01:23] Anonymous762: after installing. it should ask when booting the PC which OS you want to start [01:23] Anonymous762 yes, when you reboot after installing, you will be presented with grub, the grand unified bootloader, it detects operating systems and puts them in a list for you to select [01:24] Alright [01:24] I suppose I'll install.. [01:24] iight === ri0n2 is now known as anthis [01:24] I'd reccomend it [01:24] Anonymous762: You're gonna like it [01:24] Just wanted to know if it would tweak with my Windows or not.

[01:25] Anonymous762 if you boot that cd you can preview ubuntu [01:25] I already have previewed [01:25] I like it. :D [01:25] ahh [01:26] Anonymous762: that is actually a good thing o check the hardware compatibility with the live cd :-) [01:26] there is someone who understands Spanish_ [01:26] (strangely, doing grep torrent in /usr/lib does nothing, as there is no folder D: - where did libtorrent get installed) [01:26] Yeah I'll take a look. [01:26] When i installed Ubuntu 8.10 on my desktop it was initially unbootable. I had to set grub to /dev/sda1. I believe the default was /dev/hd0. Is this normal? [01:26] the live cd is much slower compared to the real thing [01:26] !es | ubuntu [01:26] ubuntu: En la mayoría de canales Ubuntu se comunica en inglés.

[01:26] jason_: n, you just got the wrong combination apparently [01:26] When installing, of course. [01:26] There were two hard drives in the system and a windows dynamic drive that spanned both. I was using part of the first drive for ubuntu. [01:27] Anonymous762 it will ask you how you want to partition your drives [01:27] hmm [01:27] *windows dynamic partition === danopia_ is now known as danopia [01:27] I'll be on the lookout [01:27] See you. [01:27] Anonymous762 it will detect windoes os's, and ask you if you just want to resize the current one [01:27] Later [01:27] I suppose. [01:27] Anonymous762: there is an other methos to install, with "wubi" you run windows to install ubuntu and it will install it as a file on the windows partition. no repartitioning [01:27] !wubi [01:27] Wubi is an Ubuntu installer for Windows users that allows you to install and uninstall Ubuntu like a Windows application, in a simple and safe way. http://wubi-installer.org/support.php for troubleshooting.

[01:29] where (what folder) does ubuntu install programs? [01:29] oh so its just a windows enviroment installer [01:29] its loop-mounting the harddisk image that is on the NTFS partition. so it goes through 2 filesystem drivers. that is slower [01:29] but it shouln't be so bad [01:29] russ: why? [01:29] sowhat happens if windows fails? [01:29] If you're installing on another person's computer, the safety of the data should be paramount.

I have a headset plugged in, and everytime I speak it plays back. Everything I say is replayed to me and everything I play (youtube, music etc) is played back to anyone who I might be talking to (skype) Is there anyway to fix either of these? [01:30] jrib: so I can look in it and see whats there [01:30] i prefer fresh install [01:30] jason_, Anonymous762: if you have data you care about, you should have backups.

He seemed to want to install rather than run ubuntu off the CD. If backing up and the live disk aren't options, I would say Wubi is better than a normal install which requires re-partitioning.

Because of the dynamic volumes on my system, Ubuntu's guided install would have wiped out part of the volume, and thus about 500 GB of data. [01:32] Yeah, but then I'm really quiet. [01:33] I should be able to just mute the playback without having to turn down my input, but it wont let me. [01:33] jrib, ..which is why I suggested wubi as an alternative. I wasn't saying either were a particularly good idea. [01:33] my theory is it cant resize a ntfs partition that is all fragged [01:33] but i have never tested [01:33] lol [01:34] Shadoukun im pretty sure if you just turn down the mic in volume properties it will help [01:34] Shadoukun: in the mixer settings, recordings. there is a speaker symbol it lets you choose if an input should be recorded only or also played on your speakers [01:34] help with keyboard numberpad wont work [01:34] hmm [01:35] Killer--Tux: NumLock key not pressed? [01:35] Killer--Tux: if you hold down the number 4 on your numpad, does your mouse move? [01:35] When I press the 'speaker symbol' it just mutes it entirely. [01:35] yes [01:35] jrib [01:35] Killer--Tux: press ctrl-shift-numlock [01:35] jrib hey thank [01:36] Shadoukun you cant move the slider up and down? [01:36] I can, but then it just lowers the input volume [01:36] It's still looping. [01:36] even all the way down?? [01:36] Then it's muted. [01:36] jrib question how come everytime i restart my computer my screen resolution changes [01:36] Shadoukun: hm recoding should still be possible. even without direct playback [01:37] zsquareplusc, I know :( [01:37] I can do it on my laptop, but my desktop just wont. [01:37] Shadoukun: are you recoring the "analog mix" or something, instead of the microphone input? [01:37] Anybody alive? [01:38] I don't think so... [01:38] Shadoukun: sometimes you need to enable "options" or additional inputs in the properties of the mixer to enable input channel selections [01:38] All of the addiontal ones are enabled. [01:38] Killer--Tux: how did you set it? [01:39] jrib ?!? [01:39] Killer--Tux: how did you set your screen resolution? [01:40] jrib they way i change it back to normal is by opening a video file in full screen for a couple of seconds and then the reso comes back to normal [01:41] i've done a symlink of /var/www/public to my home... how can i assign permession to write in this dir with my account? [01:41] hi! have someone here shared folders with samba (manually conf the smb.conf) in Ubuntu 8.10? I've read a whole bunch of guides and did exactly as they says, but can't get it work :( [01:41] i need to create an msdos startup disk from in ubuntu ..how can i do this [01:41] To edit your screen resolution find xorg.conf file and change the mode lines into the resolution you want. [01:42] DeVnOrE, are you here?? [01:42] how do i run teamspeak server? [01:42] then restart yor :l #ubunut [01:42] i installed it but no idea how to start it [01:43] What is the name of the package that contains extra gnome login themes? [01:43] Hey guys I'm back... Anonymous7-whatever [01:43] DiiPhantom, look in the applications menu on the desktop panel [01:43] DVA5912, there should be some preinstalled. [01:43] Don_Miguel: only the client is there [01:44] maxbaldwin: yes but i belive there are some extras that i can download through synaptic [01:44] Does anyone know how to revert to ubuntu-server instal after doing a bunch of experimentation with ubuntustudio/xubuntu/ubuntu-desktop... I want to go back to the command line boot === Pici` is now known as Pici [01:44] hey, im using xterm but it doesn't read the alt key on my keyboard... anyone know why?

[01:45] dmulholland: I seem to be experienced this with gnome-terminal at the moment as well... [01:45] Killer--Tux: weird. What if you set it in system -> preferences -> screen resolution? [01:45] As I've mentioned before I do not own my computer [01:45] And am trying to keep ubuntu from touching my windows [01:45] DiiPhantom, then you need to add it to the menu ... I think with System--> Preferences --> main menu [01:45] So... step 4 of 7 on the most current live cd [01:46] jrib it wont give me any reso but the one that it starts with that it 600x800 something like that [01:46] ssmy, within gnome-terminal it works perfectly, just not within xterm [01:46] skylarS, if SSH is installed on 8.10 by default [01:46] So I need to know what to do. :S [01:46] dmulholland: maybe different problems then. [01:46] konsole gnome-terminal xterm which is best [01:46] ssmy, when i go to a tty it works without a problem as well [01:46] i guess for me konsole is best [01:46] Killer--Tux: try setting it in your xorg.conf I guess [01:46] !x > Killer--Tux [01:46] Killer--Tux, please see my private message [01:46] ssmy, does your alt key ever work? [01:46] skylarS, connection refused =/ [01:47] dmulholland: perfectly, as far as I can tell. Just noticed it in irssi a minute ago. [01:47] Can anyone here just offer to help me through a PM?

[01:51] hmw, im not using laptop.. is sony vaio desktop [01:51] strN00B: oh. didnt know, that there are desktops. can you go to the console? [01:52] ssmy, check out the .Xdefaults values in that link, might just solve the problem... [01:52] ssmy, i think those values really might be worth you trying...

[02:23] bazhang all i want to know is: can i get support for non-tv related stuff for mythbuntu in the ubuntu channel?

[02:23] Jordan_U, umm, so that would be, create a new wireless conection, and set it in sharing mode, then my wireless devices will just "see" the connection like a HotSpot and thats all? [02:24] dj_ee3: if you can't deactivate it using bios.. then maybe you can boot into recovery mode and disable the bluetooth module.. i dont really know the steps for that.. so you're going to need someone other than me to help you on that.. [02:24] wos, have you set it up? what is/are your question(s)? [02:24] bazhang i dont have any yet, i just want to know if it is supported in the ubuntu channel for non-mythtv related problems [02:25] set it up ? what mean? [02:25] wos, if someone knows the answer they will help [02:25] yaser: As far as I can tell yes ( but unlike a hotspot I think that a computer's wireless card can only share to one computer at a time ) [02:25] anyone land me a hand with sound? it worked up until today [02:26] Jordan_U, i want the connection for my Iphone, ill try that thanks [02:26] gusto5, type alsamixer in terminal and make sure nothing is muted [02:26] bazhang, i mean, mythbuntu and ubuntu aren't as dissimilar as say, ubuntu and kubuntu are they?

[02:35] what do you folks use to rip dvd's? [02:35] n8tuser, nothing, dont know where to start [02:35] irpapabear: dvd::rip, acidrip or ogmrip [02:35] Guest79321, right click computer icon on your panel [02:35] Guest79321-> you can unplug your usb wifi? or sudo ifdown wlan0 [02:35] ok there are development forums on ubuntuforums.com, but are there any development channels here on irc? by development I mean simply compiling software. I am not using a beta version of ubuntu [02:35] WOW, well I think the ose version has ose in its name [02:35] ty ziroday [02:35] yaser.... true :blush: [02:36] nhow do you change the host name in intrepid? [02:36] i didnt mean to use ubuntu as the hostname [02:36] yaser-> does your iphone have an ip address assigned? [02:36] !hostname | sambagirl [02:36] sambagirl: Use hostname to set the hostname, or to do it permanently: edit /etc/hostname and /etc/hosts . WARNING! Make sure that your current hostname and /etc/hosts match, otherwise sudo may not work properly.

So now I just need to make sure that it starts up at bootup, or when a user logs in (which occurs automatically). How do I do this to ensure that it's run as a user rather than root? [02:37] it sitll shows ubuntu tho [02:37] sambagirl, i advice using system->administration->networking as said above. its the easiest way [02:37] yaser-> i did not give you that command, [02:37] sorry i didnot see you WOW [02:37] sthanks [02:38] shanks [02:38] jason_: remote desktop is preinstalled in ubuntu, and it is VNC... just not RealVNC.. its better than that.. just go to System->Preferences->Remote Desktop [02:38] n8tuser, sudo ifdown wlan0? [02:38] i figured that is where it should be done wow [02:39] !vnc [02:39] VNC is a protocol for remote desktop. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNCOverSSH describes how to use it securely. It works best over fast connections, otherwise look at !FreeNX [02:39] djhash: better? slower? ;-) and not helpful if you dont want to share the current desktop :-) [02:39] http://boycottnovell.com/2008/03/11/gplv3-ooo-punish-sellout/ have look on this document [02:39] n8tuser, so can you help me trace whats happening? [02:39] flashprolinux, #ubuntu-offtopic for that [02:39] zsquareplusc: what do you mean not share current desktop?! [02:39] djhash, vino is horridly slow. RealVNC 4.4 Enterprise is orders of magnitude faster (10-100x?) and supports AES encryption, passwords longer than 8 chars, authentication of the server etc. [02:40] hi guys I have made a new user in linux but I will remove the old user , but it says, is not in the sudoers file. this incident will be reported [02:40] i hae 2 cpus xeon 2.8ghz but it says 4 prpocessors and resources shows activity for 4but i thought i had only 2? [02:40] djhash, when I run vino @ 800x600, I get 50% CPU usage. With VNC, usage is nominal. [02:40] anyone have any experience loading ubuntu 8.04 on an appletv? [02:40] when Im loggin in as root [02:40] but it clearly shows 4 cpus [02:40] apple? [02:40] Hi, I have set up a shared wireless connection betwen my laptop(wired Internet access) and my Iphone, the Iphone sees my laptop connection, but I dont have Internet in the Iphone, how can I trace whats happening? [02:40] sure on my macbook [02:40] works great [02:40] djhash: with vncserver you can run many (virtual) vnc servers for many users. these displays wont be visible on the physical screen [02:40] elmnas, you have to add you new user in sudoers list 1st [02:40] jason_: i dont use vino.. i use xtightvnc or xvncviewer.. and I dont get that kind of cpu usage.. for encryption i use tunneling.. [02:40] i admit i use fusion tho [02:41] IIRC, the Xeon have some sort of virtual processors. [02:41] Howzit! Just installed Ubuntu 8.10 and love it so far; but auto updates don't work. I get error msg.: "dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg--configure-a' to fix the problem" Ran that command on terminal to no avail. Does dpkg have to be configured? If so how? I'm running 8.10 on a IBM A31, P4M, 1G ram. Mahalo for any help. BWD [02:41] uuh, samba [02:41] how do I do it? [02:41] sambagirl: yeah trying to throw it onto the appletv though which is a set top box [02:41] zsquareplusc: in that case thats why I use.. XDMCP..:-) [02:41] anyone with this sound card Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801JI (ICH10 Family) HD Audio Controller ?? [02:41] djhash, I actually use an OpenVPN tunnel for encryption, but it's nice to have anyhow. [02:41] well that is fine but it works on my macbook anyway so there. [02:41] Bigwavdave: the command you entered is missing a space [02:41] and yes i do have a macbook and a thinkpad and a server :p [02:42] Bigwavdave: sudo dkpg --configure -a [02:42] ola gostaria de uma ajuda [02:42] djhash: that's fine too. but i think vnc is a little better if the network has delays. and vnc can keep sessions alive, while you disconnect and reconnect [02:42] !es > Alexx [02:42] Alexx, please see my private message [02:42] Thanks, I'll try it.

I guess i can take a look at realvnc enterprise.. maybe it'll offer something i've been looking for.. can realvnc operate even when no one is logged into the computer?! or is it similiar to the one in ubuntu?! [02:43] #ubuntu-es Al2O3 [02:43] :) [02:43] Jordan_U, You around? I fixed the problem! [02:43] n8tuser, I think it does, but cant be sure [02:44] will ubuntu 8.10 run pretty well on a 1 gig ram, 1 ghz mobile centrino? [02:44] n8tuser, there is a special application used to share things [02:44] portable computer === khmer42_ is now known as khmer42 [02:44] djhash: yes. well at some point someone must log in. but for example you can ssh to the box and run the vncserver for you [02:44] Al2O3, try the live cd [02:44] I have a GF that has windows, and is tired of it, so we are going ot try Linux, or hackintosh OSX [02:44] n8tuser, using dav protocoll and it tells me an IP [02:44] Ok, will try th elive CD first. [02:44] Al203, yeah.just put ur swap around 1gb too [02:44] thanks. [02:44] darkdeeper im in the terminal file now [02:44] So, this must be nerd territory I presume?

Grr!! http://paste.ubuntu.com/75502/ [02:45] elmnas, i mean login id [02:45] yaser-> i dont know what tools your ipod has, you can test ping from your ubuntu towards the ipod, and do same from ipod [02:45] djhash: you can also use the Xvnc server to XDMCP to your GDM. so a remote vieer doesnt need to use X but a vncviewer instead ( handy for windoze users) [02:45] ok there are development forums on ubuntuforums.com, but are there any development channels here on irc? by development I mean simply compiling software. I am not using a beta version of ubuntu [02:45] what will I ok [02:45] ok [02:45] :) [02:46] zsquareplusc: thanks.. but its not free.. enterprise is for purchase... and the free edition doesnt give me the features.. :-( [02:46] phirestalker-> visit #c for coding [02:46] where's my grub file?

[03:04] Segadude: sudi -i [03:04] jeeves_Moss, you could have planner draw a very simplistic time line (in fact that's the default) - you could try it out to see if it fits your needs [03:04] sudo [03:04] unop, I tried that. it's not what I'm looking for.

(like something that interacts with mplayer, macromedia flash player, 'image viewer') [03:09] dutch-> man xrandr [03:09] zsquareplusc, you get your nickname from one of the formulas for fractals or what? [03:09] n8tuser, xrandr wont work if u dont have xserver running [03:09] GodfatherofEire1: :-) [03:10] dutch, i believe the GDM resolution is set by xorg - and that means editing /etc/X11/xorg.conf [03:10] I couldnt download the guest additions iso from within virtualbox, so i downloaded it with firefox. Where do i have to put that file now, or what to do with it? [03:10] Just wonderin, zsquaredplusc, I knew the formula sounded familiar [03:10] unop: true. i need to change my video driver back to basic "nv", since it stopped working when i used proprietary drivers [03:11] GodfatherofEire1: yes, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mandelbrot_set [03:11] usser i didnt know he aint got xserver running [03:11] dutch, again, that's something to be done in xorg.conf [03:11] hello all, I broke the login somehow by creating a new user, now when I boot all I get is background color and mouse. I think I messed up my session, how can I reset it to default? [03:12] dutch: you could add: SubSe [03:13] unop: So how would I go about limiting the nautilus process in Ubuntu? [03:13] Can someone point me to a good tutorial to troubleshoot a test network in virtual box? I can ping the tap0 gateway from tap1 and vice versa (and get to the wild and wooly internet) but can't get a ping to go beyond the tap gateways to ping my hosts. [03:14] GeminiK: ctrl+alt+f1 should give you a text console to log in. then check with ls -la if all the files in your home folder belong to you and not to root. [03:14] how do i kill a borked x session messing up my display [03:14] i have command line access [03:14] usually i rename the xorg.conf and restart. [03:14] but i just need to kill the session in process. [03:14] RITN: ctrl+alt+backspace kills the X server (LOOSING ALL CHANGES/open programms) [03:15] its not working [03:15] zsquareplusc: ill check, brb [03:15] i tried startx [03:15] RITN, the process is Xorg [03:15] kill -? [03:15] Windsurfer619, you set the appropriate limits in one of your startup files ~/.profile or ~/.bashrc (but be careful, you need to allow sufficient resources or some apps will refuse to load or behave mysteriously) [03:15] whats the syntax? [03:15] Hi, how do I stop apt-get from automatically pulling the suggested packages when I install something. Specifically, `apt-get install gcl` pulls emacs, which I don't want/need. [03:15] i know 9 for pid's? [03:15] ctrl+alt+backspace will restart the x server it wont kill it [03:15] its not running [03:16] its messed up [03:16] its messing up my text session [03:16] RITN, never use kill -9 . sudo killall X [03:16] unop: Hm. That's almost what I want. But that would limit my total system resources, right? I just want to limit the "nautilus" process. My other apps are fine. [03:16] RITN, what are u trying to do? [03:16] darkdeeper: yes it kills it. all programs using that display will terminate. tht it gets restarted is not the property of X but of gdb that launched it [03:17] s/gdb/gdm/ [03:17] oh okey [03:18] YMMV on how well that works anyway, sometimes when you've got X went crazy enough with messed up drivers or hardware, killing it will just lock up the whole machine. === keyhack is now known as keyhack_break [03:18] Windsurfer619, it would affect all apps that _you_ start (not those of the system) - if you want to set limits for nautilus, you might have to start nautilus using a sub-shell or a wrapper script i.e. a script in your ~/bin/ called nautilus that sets the limit and then calls /usr/bin/nautilus [03:19] unop: Ah! That's a good idea. Thanks! [03:19] Windsurfer619, you'll have to ensure that ~/bin is in your PATH too tho [03:19] hello [03:19] unop: Can I not just move the normal /bin/nautilus to /bin/nautilus2, and put a script in it's old place? [03:19] Windsurfer619-> why do you even want to limit nautilus resources? and which resource do you want limited? [03:20] n8tuser: Nautilus is great, but it keeps having a 100MB/s memory leak when it encounters a picture that it can't thumbnail. It's a known bug. [03:20] Ok here's an easier question, where is there extensive documentation on the apt configuration files? The man page `apt_preferences(5)` is useless in that respect. [03:20] Windsurfer619, you could, but I wouldn't if I were you - I prefer keeping things in standard locations [03:21] unop: Okay :) [03:21] Windsurfer619-> 100MB/s ? a transferring of file? [03:21] Windsurfer619, also, it defeats the point of keeping linux multi-user - other users wouldn't appreciate it [03:21] unop: Okay. Though, this is my laptop... [03:22] Windsurfer619, extrapolate - if something should fail with your strategy, you can always log in as another user to rectify things, but if you make global changes - every user is affected and so you propgate the problem on. [03:23] unop: Okay, I see. Nifty! [03:23] zsquareplusc: yeah some are root, by the way how do us scrol up in terminal? [03:23] GeminiK: shift+pageup [03:23] GeminiK: Shift+pageUp [03:23] ah thx [03:23] WiFi question > AG WAP, will turning A off improve performance like turning off B on a BG router? [03:24] eveything i try to play my cd.. its give me acess denied.any idea? [03:24] GeminiK: maybe one of these files are the problem. you should probably chown them back to your user [03:25] zsquareplusc: yea, don't see why any of them should be root either, so how would I do that? [03:25] GeminiK: chown $USER.$USER file(s) [03:26] GeminiK: chown [03:26] alright brb [03:26] GeminiK: and chgrp (done as root) [03:26] GeminiK: chgrp *g* [03:26] GeminiK: you probably used sudo for a gui application that wrote these. that is what gksudo would solve [03:27] I'm trying to customize my Ubuntu "start menu" icon, and I've gone to the .icons folder (starting Naultilus from the command line as administrator), but there isn't anything visible. Might anyone know how to solve this? [03:27] what the difrent between using sudo and gksudo? [03:27] hmw: with the "." or ":" you can save the chgrp command call :-) === dani is now known as Guest82883 === Katie-Offline is now known as KatieKitty [03:28] zsquareplusc: ah ok gksudo prevents root files in home? [03:28] !gksudo [03:28] 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) [03:28] zsquareplusc: then i had to remind, which comes first, user or group. i always mix that up *g* [03:28] hmw: user.group the same order you see in ls -l :-) [03:29] zsquareplusc: that helped. now i will probably keep it im my lousy brain *G* [03:29] zsquareplusc: well ill use chown on files brb [03:31] Helloooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo [03:31] hi >.< [03:31] * Vandalism_dstryr slaps Guest82883 around a bit with a large trout [03:31] eeeek [03:31] Would anyone know why I'm not able to view the contents of the .icons folder? [03:31] blendroid: do you see the folder, but empty, or dont you see the folder itself? [03:32] Hey, I've got some problems with Ubuntu. It keeps freezing anytime it seems to have run a few too many processes or something like that. [03:32] it just appears empty [03:32] Like it freezes completely, the mouse doesn't move or anything. [03:32] Geoff_: check your temperatures [03:32] hit the mouse with a hammer [03:32] it should do it [03:32] like BAM BAM BAM! ya know [03:32] just like in flingstones [03:33] Guest82883: for fun talk, please go to #ubuntu-offtopic. this is a support channel. thanks [03:33] bam bam [03:33] fiiiiiiiiiiiiiiine hmw [03:33] How do I check my temperatures? [03:33] but i came here cuz i got a question [03:33] Geoff_: I'd bit there's a file in /proc that may have that data. [03:34] * DEdwards suggests kicking Guest82883 [03:34] s/bit/bet/ [03:34] Geoff_: reboot, go to BIOS and check temp there. Be quick, hardware cools down quite fast [03:34] hmw: it's visible, but appears empty (in case you didn't see my earlier reply) [03:34] sensors-applet [03:34] Alright. Does it make a difference that I run the computer on Windows without any problems like overheating as well? [03:34] blendroid: sorry, i saw your respones, but I dont know whats up. Try to look into that folder via the terminal to check, if its really empty [03:34] hmw: oh, ok [03:35] Geoff_: that makes a temp. problem much less likely [03:35] Geoff_, what are the general specs of your machine? [03:35] im experiencing some problems with youtube videos. I can view videos when I open up youtube but after a while the video goes blank but sound's good. Now.. I've asked this question before here and was told to download non-free flash version which I did but didn't help at all. And I searched the web and found that Im not alooooone >.< [03:35] Geoff_: does i have a software controlled fan that doesnt run /run a s fast in linux than in windoze? [03:35] Geoff_: is there a pattern behind your crahses? certain apps running? 3D apps maybe? [03:35] Hey, where are the modelines stored? [03:36] Anyone? [03:36] im new to ubuntu. do i need a firewall? antivirus? [03:36] russ5811, no [03:36] nah man [03:36] Elliotw2: /etc/X11/xorg.conf [03:36] russ5811, no [03:36] Well, a firewall [03:36] Elliotw2: i think they belong to /etc/X11/xorg.conf [03:37] zsquareplusc, not in 8.10 from what I've heard [03:37] ubuntu has all the vaccines it needs [03:37] thanks. i've heard conflicting info about the firewall [03:37] ... WHY is emacs22 a dependency for the GNU Lisp Compiler, for the love of God, why? [03:37] youtube works fine for me, only thing i can never get working are CNN videos :/ [03:37] no firewall needed for 8.10? [03:37] Why do you care? Emacs ios like 10kb [03:37] that's weird. [03:37] Elliotw2: you CAN use them still [03:37] Elliotw2: if you wan to add lines i think you still do them there. but nowdays X calcualtes these internally, so normally you dont have to write them manually somewhere [03:37] Elliotw2: in one case, my FGLRX ignored them though [03:37] !virus [03:37] A/V software is available, however read this to understand why Linux does not have a virus problem: http://librenix.com/?inode=21 [03:38] Ok, thank you for helping me help someone [03:38] Now have fun with your mess of a Distro [03:38] danke ubottu [03:38] cooldude, ubuntu has firewall, iptables. [03:38] russ5811: ubottu is a bot *ggg* [03:38] Elliotw2: Because I don't need/want Emacs. I don't see why I need any more reasoning than that, unless there is some vital component of Emacs that allows gcl to compile my lisp source. [03:38] o.O [03:38] so i guess no one here knows how to fix my youtube problem? [03:39] Oh is it enabled by default? [03:39] someone higlighted me? [03:39] Guest82883: You need to describe your problem better. [03:39] cooldude, ubuntu has firewall, iptables. [03:39] hi, my friend is trying to install ubuntu 8.10, but the install is ending up at a command prompt at the end, any suggestions on how to boot into the gui? [03:39] Guest82883: i tried to figure something out, but no result so far. I just hate that flash plugin thing, too. [03:39] ouch, grud [03:39] cooldude, yep [03:39] ya i seen from my Growl notifier [03:39] anarchman1: `startx`? (no quotes of course) [03:39] or anyone know why an install of 8.10 would leave you at the GUI and the end? [03:39] i am on a Mac [03:39] and my Client is Linkinus [03:39] Guest82883: is it always the same amount of time? (yes --> sounds like buffer overflow or something) [03:39] Armageddon00 he tried startx and got some errors [03:40] and i get notifications that people highlighted me [03:40] so ya [03:40] ubuntu works on Mac's too? [03:40] awesome! [03:40] Guest35047: yes [03:40] anarchman1: post them to a paste-bin or something and send the link our way. [03:40] yep Guest82883 [03:40] anarchman1: have him login to the console and run "sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start" [03:40] it works on either Paralells, or VM Ware [03:40] Armag... ok might try that in a minute [03:40] Guest82883: ever since the intel switch Macs are just standard computers. [03:40] How can I see whether or not AppArmor or SELinux is installed/active ? [03:40] idk on BootCamp [03:40] Odd-rationale: ok ill have him give that a try [03:41] ah i see [03:41] this room is freaking busy holy crap [03:41] hrm [03:41] 1,000 people in here everyday, sheesh [03:41] I don't know if I have a software controlled fan. I don't know how to check that, but it seems to crash anytime I get to doing anything like downloading updates from online, or simply using Firefox a little bit. Like, I'm still back on 8.04. [03:41] ya cooldude [03:41] nah it wasnt so low for a long time ;-) [03:41] ah, all the torrent clients which report open ports don't have the features I want :( [03:41] CapaH: Have you tried `ps` and searching for the application there? [03:41] * Kanzar goes back to trying azureus [03:41] includeing you...lol [03:41] cooldude13233: thats why they dont like smalltalk in here [03:41] im getting "screen 1 deleted because of no matching config section" on my custom xorg.conf [03:41] dual head.

Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [03:42] CapaH: Odd.. [03:42] we need 7 more people to make it 1337 [03:42] anyone help? [03:42] hi [03:42] anyone with elive ? [03:42] Hi...sound stops to work suddenly in 8.10... [03:42] ut oh the ops are waking up all the "!OT" "!offtopic" commands are flying left and right now lol [03:42] CapaH: Perhaps the name is not what you'd expect [03:42] RITN: depends. what adapter do you have? [03:42] * LF|Irssi hides [03:43] hmw: i have 2. agp, and pci [03:43] the agp one works atm. [03:43] Armageddon00, I found it in dmesg [03:43] AppArmor [03:43] pci is screen 1 [03:43] if i start it only the agp works [03:43] RITN: then youre ... . Uh, I mean, what exactly? (i have a similar setup and it was hard to get it up) [03:43] I have already search in foruns but I cant fix it [03:43] how do I display the contents of a folder in the terminal? (sorry, I'm googling all I can, but it's not turning up answers...) [03:43] as an inexperienced user, using the box primarily for media (dvds and such), web, and P2P, am I likely to inadvertently open ports thus creating an in for an attack? [03:44] hmw: let me post the file somewhere. do you have a preference? [03:44] blendroid: ls [03:44] thanks [03:44] when i open a program from the terminal, i want it to stay open Even if i close the terminal [03:44] pastebin.com [03:44] 1 sec [03:44] blendroid: i suggest reading through http://linuxcommand.org [03:44] CapaH: Did it crash? Try doing something app armor wouldn't approve of. (within reason...) [03:44] DiiPhantom, nohup programname & [03:44] join #ubuntu-off-topic [03:44] thanks again :) [03:44] I may have found the cause of the vino performance issue with vino. It seems like a Xorg bug. After removing my monitor, the resolution on :0 was set to 1280x800, the same as VNC, and CPU usage while using VNC was near 0%. After restaring, Xorg reverted to 800x600 because there was no display and the performance issues returned (50%+ CPU usage at 800x600). I tried changing the resolution through the screen res tool in gnome but as I ha [03:44] ve no monitor it won't let me. Anyone run into this before? Can I just force a resolution in xorg.conf? [03:44] huh? [03:44] ohh i get it [03:44] join #ubuntu-offtopic [03:45] its not working [03:45] Guest82883: it is "/join ..." [03:45] hello all...any converter convert rmvb file into other format? [03:45] DiiPhantom: append the command with &. e.g. firefox & [03:45] !converter [03:45] Sorry, I don't know anything about converter [03:45] My soudn does not work...just a weird noise [03:45] oopsie daisy.. thanks [03:45] cheers! [03:46] i want to format rmvb file to other file format..like mpeg wmv etc..any solution?idea? [03:46] Odd-rationale: it doesnt work, it opens the program but then if i close the terminal it shuts [03:46] i want to convert format rmvb file to other file format..like mpeg wmv etc..any solution?idea? [03:46] http://pastebin.com/d26063393 [03:46] Buntai: maybe try http://media-convert.net/ [03:46] Buntai: maybe ffmpeg or mencoder [03:46] check it out please hmw [03:46] ok [03:46] Alright, to restate my problem, I have a dualboot system with Microsoft Windows Professional and Ubuntu 8.04 installed on a HP Pavilion 7935 with an upgraded 1GB of memory. For some reason, it keeps freezing after about 5-20 minutes depending if I do anything somewhat demanding like getting online, where I can surf for a little while, and then the computer freezes. When it freezes, I have no response whatsoever, like the mouse [03:46] mencoder will do it [03:46] i am on it. but that was 30 seconds. [03:47] zsquareplusc: well it didn't work, I might have done something with the sessions [03:47] thanks zsquareplusc [03:47] thanks Odd-rationale [03:47] :) [03:47] ? [03:47] DiiPhantom: it should work... anther thing you can do is run the program normally, then press ctrl+z, the enter "bg" [03:47] DiiPhantom: from the terminal [03:47] If anyone was wondering, I determined that emacs22 being a dependency of gcl is a bug. Bah. [03:48] GeminiK: next step would eb moving the .gnome and such folder away. this would make the applications start up with the defaults again (w/o the need to create a new user) [03:48] xemacs ftw [03:49] zsquareplusc: ok, cp .gnome .gnome-bkup then rm .gnome right? [03:49] GeminiK: or use mv for move [03:49] .cl [03:49] Armageddon00: you can try installing xemacs , unless ubuntu is like FreeBSD in that you cannot install emacs and xemacs on the same time, or at least i cant get it to do that :) [03:49] RITN: looks very ok to me, but i dont know nvidia drivers. In my case, the "correct" setup just didnt work out. [03:50] ok, I'm trying to set up azureus udp/tcp port to 16292, test at http://www.utorrent.com/testport.php?port=16292 says it's clear, but i get an NAT error in azureus tester - does anyone have any idea? [03:50] Does anyone here know if you reload apparmor -- does it cause any running apps which have an apparmor to stop functioning in any way? Can someone describe to me what happens exactly if you reload apparmor's profiles to the applications running? [03:50] zsquareplusc: k hope it works [03:50] can you pastebin yours? === tonswin is now known as tonsofpcs [03:50] can someone help me?? [03:50] xorg dual monitor agp pci [03:51] Does anyone know if broadcom's wl driver that now comes with intrepid ibex can be patched to allow monitor mode? [03:51] greetings, what is the best software to use for streaming vids via the xbox 360 [03:51] media center [03:51] or tversity [03:51] dont know about linux [03:51] or if tversity works on linux. [03:52] RITN: uhm. I just deleted it accidently (resetup my workstation). The only things, that were strange here (FGLRX) was the frequenca for screen 1 had to be an Option "Horiz2" and "Vsync2" in Secion for Device 0. My conf didnt look much different than yours. Its possible, that your driver is just crap. :( google or ask someone else in here. [03:52] look and let me know. [03:53] I have a problem. I have a dualboot system with Microsoft Windows Professional and Ubuntu 8.04 installed on an HP Pavilion 7935 with an upgraded 1GB of memory. For some reason, it keeps freezing after about 5-20 minutes depending if I do anything somewhat demanding like getting online, where I can surf for a little while, and then the computer freezes. When it freezes, I have no response whatsoever, like the mouse doesn't even [03:53] so, how can I change the resolution of my primary screen when I have no monitor? [03:53] it's a headless server [03:53] RITN: do you try to use compiz? [03:53] Jason_ set up vnc maybe [03:53] but i want Xorg for vnc [03:53] or maybe you can ssh in and change kde/gdm settings [03:53] whats that hmw ? [03:53] Jason_: vncserver -geom 1280x1024 -depth 32 [03:53] Geoff_: that is a kernel panic. What network card do you have? [03:53] greetings, what is the best software to use for streaming vids via the xbox 360 [03:53] canz you use xforwards with ssh? [03:54] i just installed mythbuntu, can anyone tell me how to watch tv now [03:54] xxuriahxx: ask in ##windows [03:54] mxweas, yeah, I did that and VNC allows me to set the resolution. Vino doesn't - and that seems to be the cause of the Xorg CPU issue I'm having (50-100% CPU at 800x600 versus 5-10% with realvnc at 1280x800) [03:54] i have a hauppage wintv hvr 950q [03:54] im using ubuntu [03:54] RITN: nevermind. composition window manager, cool 3D desktop cube. Makes triple (and also dual-)head impossible on my machine. :( [03:54] i dont think thats going to help [03:54] when i press "watch tv" nothing happens [03:54] mee: ask in #mythbuntu. Have you configured the tv card? [03:54] y would i be asking in windows [03:54] Jason_: if you want to change it for display 0, export DISPLAY=:0 and use ssh -X from an other box that has an X server [03:54] mee: did you told the application which chipset it is you have there? [03:54] zsquareplusc, i have realvnc set up, thanks. I was asking about vino. I'm curious as to whether I can use vino. [03:54] xxuriahxx: what would you ask here, its a xbox? [03:54] RITN: post the log from your x server to pastebin [03:54] ziroday how do you configure the tv card [03:54] Does anyone know if broadcom's wl driver that now comes with intrepid ibex can be patched to allow monitor mode?

[03:55] i just want a software to do it to my 360 [03:55] hyde: i use a irssi descendant: epic - with "Phoebox" extension (colors) [03:55] does it exist? [03:56] hmmm.. I just extracted some more music, and it didnt do it. I wonder if a .m3u in the directory caused the duplicates... [03:56] xxuriahxx: and I have explained to you that is this an ubuntu support channel, not an xbox one [03:56] mee: it should be under System in the menu or something like that [03:56] can fuppes stream with the 360? [03:56] http://pastebin.com/d446ca596 [03:57] hmw: look at that [03:57] if so how? [03:57] hmm, well, raised my port to something above 50k, now it's not firewalled - whoo~ [03:57] Geoff_: please pastebin the output of lspci [03:57] Having a problem with dvd playback// can see the filesystem and all that.. but cannot playback error: cound not read from resource [03:57] i run fuppes on my ubuntu, can u support that? [03:57] RITN: what was the problem?

[04:01] I am having trouble finding a way to install WINE offline [04:01] Brief question: My HDTV is being recognized in ubuntu as the wrong size. It's a 57" and "Screen Resolution" lists it as a 65". This, unfortunately, makes it difficult to view the entire screen. What can I do to adjust this? [04:02] i have a web with wire [04:02] Ubuntu can be used with tvs? O_o [04:02] Sorry it's taking me a moment. I'm using a different computer to make sure I don't crash the Linux and disrupt the convo. [04:02] nintendork32: what are you compiling from source? [04:02] Seemingly so, yes [04:02] Geoff_: no problem :) [04:02] ... [04:02] zsquareplusc: didn't work, noticed that it didn' [04:03] ziroday: anything i try to compile [04:03] Anyone know much about WINE? [04:03] zsquareplusc: ....didn't create a .gnome folder [04:03] !compile > nintendork32 [04:03] nintendork32, please see my private message [04:03] Justin_ ask your question [04:03] GeminiK: hm maybe one of the other folder. you could use adduser and create a new account. so you'd at least know if the system works basically [04:03] is this the ubuntu help channel? [04:04] !hi [04:04] Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! [04:04] I need to install WINE while offline [04:04] My sound stops to work suddenly. I have just a weird noise....I have already searched in forum, but I cant fix it..Some could help? [04:04] no internet connection [04:04] I also need to know exactly how to use it... do I have to run anything to run EXEs? [04:04] zsquareplusc: yeah got to check that, this looks a little messed, brb, adduser right? [04:04] hi everyone [04:04] phig: it might be interrupt conflict? [04:04] Justin_: since when do we haev "EXEs" running in linux? [04:05] Justin_: aptitude download wine [04:05] Here's the pastebin. http://paste.ubuntu.com/75518/ [04:05] WINE runs EXEs, right? [04:05] Justin_: then just copy the files to the target machine and isntall as root : dpkg -i *deb [04:05] im having issues with my resolution...I have to keep setting my resolution with nvidia-settings ever time i log in...im running hardy with an Nvidia 6600 [04:05] i've just install ubuntu server with LAMP setup and a ubuntu-desktop as the gui, problem is, i can't find where apache is installed. [04:05] GeminiK: are you booting into an other system each time? because you could do this without rebooting. but you'd need to use a text mode chat then ;-) [04:05] Justin_, yes it does [04:05] Justin_ you usually doubleclick the exe or issue "wine " in terminal [04:05] hmw: How could I know if this a iterrupt conflict? [04:05] Justin_: if you luck it can emulate windows and even run an application somehow, mostly buggy [04:06] zsquareplusc: is there? that'll be aswome [04:06] IAlright, but I can't aptitude it. [04:06] No ineternet on my linux comp [04:06] on windows only? [04:06] what kind of performance benefits would i see using a kernel other than the -generic one that's standard with ubuntu?

This, unfortunately, makes it difficult to view the entire screen. What can I do to adjust this? Please and thank you. [04:06] Pie-rate, you wont notice it [04:06] Geoff_: thanks, please try to address your responses :) [04:06] phig: i dont know much about linux&sound. YOu could try disabling other hardware that uses the same interrupt. ("irq sharing") ... in the worst case, disable everything in your bios and take out addiotional PCI slot cards, to check, if sound problem persists [04:06] I actually have been trying to find one [04:07] know any links?

I'm not sure how to do that. That's why I accidently pmed you. [04:07] hello [04:07] i installed chinese on my comp, how do i use it [04:07] !tab | Geoff_ [04:07] Geoff_: You can use for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. [04:07] Justin_: http://dpaste.com/92837/ [04:08] zsquareplusc: looking it up, ill have it install, this was getting depressing, booting into windows and all lol [04:08] Geoff_: so you can type zirod and then hit to address to me [04:08] one question the update checker app icon that shows up on the superior bar to the right, does not seem to work, it only shows a cross, can anyone give me the url of a tutorial to fix this? THANKS [04:08] but i pastet my default mirror, which is in germany, could be slow for your side, check ubuntu.com for official mirrors around the world [04:08] does anyone know any good mmorpg games for linux? [04:08] hmw: thx, I'll try your suggestion [04:08] ziroday: I don't think so. It's a linksys Wirreless USB adapter. [04:09] what was that for Sinuc? [04:09] thatsmissgeektou: I use UltimaOnline with Wine, but you have to pay for it [04:09] Justin_: what is what? [04:09] anyone?

[04:10] I am doing apt-get upgrade for ubuntu 8.04, but it seems it can only be upgraded to 8.04.1, not 8.10. Is it possible to upgrade to 8.10? [04:10] did [04:10] visit the website, the info should be enough to get all the packagtes [04:10] OH WAIT! I remember my original question now lol.

Can you pastebin the command of lsusb please :) [04:10] anyone have problems ***sorry [04:10] one question the update checker app icon that shows up on the superior bar to the right, does not seem to work, it only shows a cross, can anyone give me the url of a tutorial to fix this? THANKS [04:10] thatsmissgeektou: what do you want to develop? [04:10] the link failewd [04:11] Justin_: what about it failed? [04:11] tennerbaum: does the cross say anything when you click on it? [04:11] didnt you like the information? [04:11] I know how to install WINE sudo dpkg -i (Directory to WINE.) but I need a link [04:11] http://dpaste.com/92837/ [04:11] there you go [04:11] all packages you need to fetch [04:11] it took me to a MSN search without any files in the 2 links [04:11] ziroday nothing it tries, a windows tries to pop up but it closes almost immediately [04:11] ziroday: I don't know what I want to make yet. but I want something that will let me graphically create a GUI just like VB. I program in C++ [04:11] not only wine.. [04:11] Justin_ use apt-get. its there without downloding it from 3rd party sites [04:12] thatsmissgeektou: in gtk or qt? [04:12] there are plenty of libs and stuff, checkout the link and google. [04:12] my movieplayer says ""could not open location, you might not have permission to open the file", when i try to play a dvd. I can view its contents [04:12] I HAVE NO INTERNET WITH LINUX. ;-; [04:12] ziroday: gtk [04:12] Justin_: YOU DONT NEED TO. [04:12] thatsmissgeektou: also do you have a ide for c++ [04:12] for apt-get? [04:12] thatsmissgeektou, you can use kdevelop [04:12] Justin_: nevermind, search somewhere else for getting the job done for you [04:12] how do i activate chinese on my comp [04:12] nobody will search you 20 urls [04:12] i already installed it [04:12] Sorry.. [04:12] tennerbaum: in a terminal type in sudo apt-get update [04:12] aptitude ftw :) [04:12] usser: he wants gtk :) [04:12] I just installed b43-fwcutter as I want to use the b43 driver for wifi, but how do I turn on the b43 driver? lsmod | grep b43 returns nothing === KatieKitty is now known as Katie-Offline [04:13] look, I'm just a complete Linux nOOb and suck at understanding it at all [04:13] ziroday: no [04:13] I'm just trying to get help running my games and another EXE [04:13] thatsmissgeektou: you probably want glade, and for an IDE looks at eclipse or geany [04:13] ziroday, it says, error in buse packages (freely translated from Spanish) [04:13] Why do I not have permission to paste a new folder into the icons folder? X( This is the reason I didn't want Vista anymore, and Ubuntu seems to think I'm not worthy of customizing my stuff... [04:13] ziroday, kdevelop can do gtk too [04:13] My Linux internet is down because I can't get my wireless card to work [04:13] anyone? [04:13] tennerbaum: buse? [04:13] ziroday: isn't eclipse for java? [04:14] Everything's been going downhill since I got Xubuntu [04:14] thatsmissgeektou: it can do c++ as well I believe [04:14] ziroday yeah, buse... never heard the term before [04:14] ziroday: http://paste.ubuntu.com/75521/ [04:14] Geoff_: thanks [04:14] ziroday: lmao i have bad luck, it would compile but it needed sometjing else and needed something else... man i have bad luck [04:14] Geoff_: what model is your usb wireless dongle? [04:14] nintendork32: this is why you shouldn't compile things :) [04:15] ziroday: what is glade for [04:15] thatsmissgeektou: gtk [04:15] thatsmissgeektou, try netbeans while you're at it... netbeans is cool too [04:15] ziroday: now the update "notificator" shows the orange icon saying there updates available but when I click on it it opens and close in less than a second [04:15] ziroday: like a gtk gui development tool? [04:15] ziroday: there isnt a package ;) [04:16] tennerbaum: not sure what buse is sorry. You might have better luck asking in #ubuntu-es [04:16] usser: i don't like netbeans. it's too confusing for me [04:16] ziroday: If that's the adapter, then it's a Linksys Wireless-G 2.4Ghz 802.11g Wireless Network Adapter. Model no. is WUSB54G ver. 4 [04:16] ziroday: besides my ubuntu is as much of a new ubuntu you can get [04:16] zioday I will, thanks a lot for you help [04:16] thatsmissgeektou: yep, if you install it becomes apparant [04:16] Geoff_: one sec [04:16] trying to burn the ubuntu iso to the cd using nero and i get a an error telling me that the image is nor right due to byte length or smth like that and when i try to install boots on install but afeter that says cant find boot cd any idea? [04:16] nintendork32: what program? [04:16] ziroday: No problem. Thanks for the help. [04:16] ziroday: trust me, no package [04:17] geoff, can i ask you some questions? [04:17] nintendork32: certaintly, I just want to know the program so I can get the dependencies for you [04:17] Geoff_, it doesnt work?? [04:17] zerodevice: Sure [04:17] ziroday: oh I remember looking at glade. yeah sorry I shouldve said this before I don't want it to generate xml files. I want it to generate code in c++ [04:17] thatsmissgeektou: ah right, well not so sure about that sorry. [04:17] The adapter works, but my computer keeps freezing after a short while of doing something online. [04:18] ziroday: wiimote drivers [04:18] Or at elast that is when it happens soonest. [04:18] ziroday: as my name suggests :P [04:18] geoff, i've just installed ubuntu server with lamp and the desktop gui, but i cant find the folder www for apache, is there a special folder? thanks. [04:18] nintendork32: Theres packages in the repos already. [04:18] zerodevice, /var/www [04:18] Flannel: what is the package name? [04:18] nintendork32: What are you trying to do with the wiimotes? [04:18] Flannel: I'll look in synaptic [04:19] hi again #ubuntu-es is dead... everyone's silent [04:19] Flannel: configure them to emulate keys for emus and things like that [04:19] Geoff_: are you currently using ndiswrapper? [04:19] !info wmgui > nintendork32 [04:19] wmgui (source: cwiid): GUI interface to the wiimote. In component universe, is extra. Version 0.6.00-4ubuntu1 (intrepid), package size 39 kB, installed size 208 kB [04:19] tennerbaum, thats cause they dont speak english there [04:20] nintendork32: see above [04:20] thanks [04:20] well thanks a lot i'll try to find help somewhere else [04:20] nintendork32: right, that'd be cwiid, or libcwiimote [04:20] ziroday: I have no idea. I just installed it and wanted to get online, and then it kept freezing. I haven't done anything else with the system really. I tried updating to 8.10, but no luck there. [04:20] nintendork32: http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=wii&searchon=all&suite=intrepid§ion=all and http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=wiimote&searchon=names&suite=intrepid§ion=all [04:20] nintendork32: Also, there [04:20] ziroday: oh ok. thanks for the help anyways ziro [04:20] geoff, you mean http://localhost/var/www ? [04:21] how can i terminate a user from the who list? [04:21] nintendork32: also, there's already a program that'll let you set that up, so you won't need to write anything. [04:21] is there a developer help channel? [04:21] Flannel: i just installed the wmgui but it says suto installed crap [04:21] nintendork32: Mhmm, that's what else I was looking for. [04:21] Flannel: That will be better [04:21] That program [04:21] Hello. I try to install Ubuntu 8.10 from a USB flash disk. But when I boot from the USB and press on the main installation menu choices, nothing happens. [04:21] amikrop, how did u create a usb stick? [04:22] amikrop, how did u make it bootable? [04:22] geoff, i dont have "www" in my/var [04:22] And when I press on the help choice, I get the message "Non existent or bad kernel image" [04:22] amikrop: try "try ubuntu with out any changes" then when the desktop loads click install [04:22] usser: syslinux -s /dev/sda [04:22] zerodevice: maybe its /srv/www [04:22] nintendork32: that choice does nothing, as well [04:22] zerodevice: /etc/var/www [04:22] usser: i think he exracted the iso with 7zip or something of that sort [04:23] amikrop: does it say loaing linux kernel? [04:23] nintendork32: no [04:23] if so wait... [04:23] ok then idk [04:23] Flueber: etc??? [04:23] when I press on the choices, nothing happens [04:23] Flannel where is that program to set it up? [04:23] !hi [04:23] Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! [04:23] hey [04:23] hehe [04:23] amikrop, can u try unetbootin [04:23] nintendork32: I'm not sure, I believe wmgui does it. [04:24] usser: I manually mounted the iso image and copied the files to the usb, after I made bootable [04:24] cool thanks [04:24] usser: ok, I will try [04:24] zsquareplusc: ok tried the new user, it dind't work, system is screwd up :( [04:25] Question: How do you slow down the speed at which holding down keyboard buttons send events? Ie, if you hold Backspace, i can delete multiple words in the blink of an eye... this makes holding down the delete key often like throwing an A Bomb into my paragraphs heh.. Thoughts? [04:25] hello, im trying to install ubuntu on a computer without a hard drive. I'm using the alternate installer. I am right before the "Partition the disks" (partman) module. I want to, instead of using the disks partitions, use NFS for storage. any ideas? I can't install on the hard drive like https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DisklessUbuntuHowto suggests because it's faulty and I might loose data. [04:26] Leefmc: you adjust the repeat rate [04:26] outbackwifi: Where is that found? [04:26] Leefmc: system->preferences->keyboard [04:26] outbackwifi: Because i recall toying with a setting that sounded like what i needed, but it didnt seem to ahve any effect.. either way [04:26] hi. Is it possible to connect to an iPass hotspot with ubuntu, and if so, how when the client software only seems to be windows or mac? :-/ [04:27] sorry. filesystem/var/www [04:27] ziroday: Did you get my last message? Unless ndiswrapper came already installed, I haven't installed it myself. [04:27] hmw, /srv/ is empty [04:27] outbackwifi: Specifically what setting, to make sure i am using the right one.. Because under "Repeat Keys" there is a "Speed" slider.. and i can adjust that to zero, and to maximum, and i see no difference. [04:28] flueber, /etc/ does not have /var [04:28] my mistake, filesystem/var/www [04:28] too much apache lately [04:29] zerodevice: find /. -name www [04:29] hello, when i launch vumeter (Application>Sound&..), i get error message [04:29] failed to execute child process "vumeter' [04:29] what should i install [04:29] or locate www [04:30] try launching in terminal [04:30] vumeter [04:30] ziroday: Still there? [04:30] command not found [04:31] hmw, i found one /www but its in usr/share/perl5/www/ [04:31] i just upgrade to intrepid from hardy [04:31] Leefmc: disabling that works, and adjusting the delay also works but the speed setting doesnt work at all! strange [04:31] hmw, the rest are are www- [04:31] Geoff_: sorry had to shoot out, add blacklist rt2500 and blacklist rt 2570 to /etc/modprode.d/blacklist and then follow the ndiswrapper guide [04:31] Flannel: is there a way to emulate keys with something else? [04:31] when i re-mount my /home this application was automatically migrated [04:32] hello again. [04:32] Flannel: Like glovePIE on windows [04:32] try finding htdocs, zerodevice [04:32] in hardy it was ok [04:32] Geoff_: then follow this guide https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/Ndiswrapper [04:32] nintendork32: I have no idea what that is. But very likely, yes. [04:32] maybe some files are missing but i can not figure out what [04:32] i got a problem with update notifications - it says there is an error en the package bus, i cannot use synaptics at all [04:32] can anybody guide me [04:32] zerodevice: /var/www is your document root. We can double check that it didn't get put somewhere else if you'd like. [04:33] zerodevice: This is a fresh install of the server edition? or what? [04:33] is connecting to iPass wi-fi hotspots currently impossible in linux? [04:33] Flannel zerodevice looks like an incomplete apache setup [04:33] Flannel: Like for emulators(to play N64 games for example) and map the a key on the wii remote for the 8 key or use the IR as the mouse [04:33] ziroday: How do I add those? Is that in the guide also? [04:33] hmw: apache doesn't create /var/www [04:34] Flannel thats new to me, but you sound quite certain about it [04:34] nintendork32: I have no idea. But I believe wmgui does do the mapping. If not that, theres some other package that has something to do it. [04:34] hmw: i can second that [04:34] Geoff_: just open the file using a text editor and add those lines to the bottom [04:35] ziroday: Also, does it make a difference that I do have internet access already? Like, I can access websites for a short time before it freezes. [04:35] outbackwifi i believe you folx. but i just dont remember creating my www on my LFS... it might have been a script though [04:35] hmw: the base filesystem has /var/www [04:35] Geoff_: thats correct [04:36] outbackwifi huh? ubuntu might not be using FHS. /var/www is deprecated or som [04:36] zerodevice: This is a fresh install of the server edition? or what? === cens0red is now known as BarkingShark [04:37] I'm guessing it is impossible. That is the impression I get from google and ubuntu forums. [04:37] Flannel: i tried wine with glovePIE. went to hell. Mouse went funky [04:37] hmw: i stand corrected; the apt-get install of apache2 creates /var/www === BarkingShark is now known as Defamed [04:37] outbackwifi i didnt doubt that [04:37] Flannel: it just reads the IR motion and reads the buttons. not maps them out [04:37] outbackwifi its just not FHS compliant. nobody said, that ubuntu was using the file hierarchy standard [04:37] Flannel: wm gui does that is [04:38] nintendork32: Then there's something else that'll make them do real things, but I don't rememebr what. I thought it was a part of wmgui though. [04:38] anyone know what options totem is configured with? I am trying to figure out why ubuntu lets me play a music stream while another distro is failing. [04:39] WrenchHead: its got to do with the gstreamer plugins that you install; not totem itself [04:39] If I was to try running the Windows iPass connection client software from wine, I'm guessing that would not work..... yes? no? thoughts? [04:39] I have every gstreamer plugin installed on both ubuntu and gentoo [04:40] CorpseFeeder: Try #winehq, or check out their appdb [04:40] im having issues with my resolution...I have to keep setting my resolution back to 1600x1050@60 with nvidia-settings every time i log in...im running hardy with an Nvidia 6600...how do i make the 1600x1050@60 my default res? [04:40] ziroday: It won't let me save the text file. It says I don't have the permissions necessary to save the file. [04:40] Flannel: sound like a plan... [04:41] ziroday: I believe I have to be signed in as root, but i can't seem to do it right. i can get signed in under a terminal screen, but I still can't save the file then. [04:42] my totem keeps making problems with DVDs... ubuntu 7.10 could play everything. how can i deinstall the codecs? [04:42] hello, does the Alternate Installation include NFS support? Or is it installable? [04:42] hmw, try vlc [04:42] switched the drive, now it just crashes [04:42] usser: i want totem :( it should be able to play [04:42] This is horribily offtopic, but all the relevent channels are dead(silent), this channel has the most users. Anyone here decent with eclipse/cdt? I have a problem with make in eclispe. (This will be my only message about this here.) [04:42] andresj: if it's not already there, it's definitely installable [04:43] gah. i deinstall the whole player. argh [04:43] hmw, did u install libdvdcss from medibuntu [04:43] usser: i think i installed some gstreamers stuff - the two packages, it suggested [04:44] !medibuntu | hmw [04:44] hmw: medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org [04:44] it just doesnt ask anymore... it crashes! [04:44] before it said, i might not have permission to access the medium === brEz is now known as brett [04:44] do you? [04:44] Flannel: it was wminput === brett is now known as Guest2798 === Guest2798 is now known as brez [04:45] no iPass client software is listed in winehq app db.. It is probably impossible to run such a thing from wine.

[04:45] tenerbaum: reboot [04:46] nintendork32 done it several times [04:46] idk then [04:46] hi there, what is the package for Xorg? I want to purge it and install it [04:46] tennerbaum: start from terminal [04:46] nintendork32 the app opens and then close in less than a second [04:46] is it possible to upgrade 8.04.1 ubuntu desktop to 8.10 just using command line? I know there is one note listing how to do this with ubuntu desktop and server, and per that note, it is only possible to do this via command line with ubuntu server, not desktop version .. [04:46] gah! this upgrade is pure horror [04:46] i shouldnt have touched the machine [04:46] tennerbaum: pastebin the output of the following: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade [04:47] hmw: to 8.10? [04:47] yes [04:47] hyde: the "server" instructions will work fine for a desktop system, yes. [04:47] Ok, So I have a windows box with a 500gb secondary drive. I want to mount that to my "win" folder in my ubuntu laptop's home folder . Can anyone help me get this down?

[04:47] outbackwifi, any way I can figure out what plugin the stream is using? [04:48] well that settles that - the installer .exe file for iPass doesn't even run in wine ;) [04:48] how can i setup a share folder in terminal using sudo? [04:48] totem opens, then immediatly dissapears, when i try to play the dvd [04:48] outbackwifi: I have the share mounted on the desktop but I want to mount it to a specific folder on boot [04:48] WrenchHead: yes; gstreamer plugins are generally categorized as good,bad & ugly (i think) depending upon the formats [04:48] strN00B using samba, yes. Install samba and edit /etc/samba/smb.conf accordingly [04:48] flannel it liss a list of sources and then it says there's a bus pacakge error [04:49] Xpistos: add it to /etc/fstab [04:49] tennerbaum: pastebin it please [04:49] !paste | tennerbaum [04:49] tennerbaum: pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel.

[04:50] Xpistos: no [04:50] flannel http://paste.ubuntu.com/75528/ [04:50] Can anybody help me out seeing as how I now have too many search engines in firefox? [04:50] Xpistos: though you could add that line to the end of /etc/rc.local [04:50] hmm, after log on all I get is a mouse and BG, not sure what I did, but creating new user did not fix the problem [04:51] tennerbaum: Could you translate that last line? I can't think of what it might be. [04:51] outbackwifi: I am not familiar with rc.local. What is it? [04:51] flannel: error in the bus package [04:51] Xpistos: fstab has a specific format that needs to be followed (man fstab will tell you) [04:51] oh my GodfatherofEire - click the search box and then manage search engines [04:51] flannel error in bus pacakge [04:51] tennerbaum: And it just sits there at 0%? [04:51] flannel yes [04:51] hmw, I mean I have so many I cant do that [04:51] Xpistos: its somewhat similar to the autoexec.bat file that we had in the days of the DOS [04:51] how do i make a hidden folder? [04:52] I didnt realize before well, I had one more than a management problem [04:52] or directory [04:52] Flannel it's been like days... now I can't even add or remove programs [04:52] tennerbaum: Well, if it makes you feel better, that's the reason you can't. [04:52] outbackwifi: Thanks I will check that out [04:52] nintendork32, mkdir .foldername [04:52] Xpistos: its a file that gets executed at the end of everything at boot time [04:52] nintendork32, you rename it with a . infront of it, example .example [04:52] Flannel my boyfriend's gonna be mad. But I've done nothing [04:53] tennerbaum: Well, we'll see if we can't fix it. But that's the reason [04:53] Anybody have any ideas on how to fix the # of search engines I have, seeing as how now I cant even access the "Manage search engines" button?

[05:16] outbackwifi, says the thing doest exist [05:17] I also got the problem were in the login if I click on options, the loggin just seems to restart, sometime many times before it just takes me back [05:17] Wait, never mind, I missed a dir [05:17] AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'IterableUserDict' [05:17] hmw can i chmod 777 or is that a security risk? [05:18] I tried purging and reinstalling gdm but that didn't work [05:18] hmw 766 [05:18] strN00B i dont know really. sounds like no good idea. i am sometimes lazy and set 0777 too. [05:19] legend2440: hmmm, seems to be a different card, but alsamixer -V all did have capture which was turned to zero. Turned it up to 70 but it made no difference :/ [05:19] hmw, well this is for LAN anyways so.. as long as the machines cannot on my LAN im safe :D [05:19] did they remove libdvdcss2 from medibuntu?? apt-get says its not available... i added the sources [05:20] strN00B dont forget about viruses and trojans. but for testing you could set it [05:21] hmw well since its just storage im setting it to 766 [05:21] ok, outbackwifi, Ihave no idea what I'd be looking for [05:22] what is the package the main package for Xorg? [05:22] is there a exclude command to exclude a directory from the sudo updatedb command? I dont want my external hdd being included which is /media/disk [05:23] hi - on a eeePC 701 with intrepid, since a couple of days the login- image has been only in rather broken grey- tones and not at all the usual Ubuntu-login...any tips? [05:23] hwm ack! i set chmod 766 /network and now my vista OS cannot open netlogon location :/ [05:24] hmw, 777 is the only way =[ [05:24] php-es [05:24] strN00B: yeah... the odd amount means they can open the dir.... pretty important [05:25] fde so others need execute permissions too, just to open the dir =/ [05:26] strN00B: yes... as its a directory... [05:26] When I press ctrl-alt-bksp on the loging window it restarts, how can I stop it from restarting by itself so there is only the terminal? [05:26] fde can i just create a samba group and it group permissions to my netlogon dir [05:26] - approaching above problem from different angle.. pse remind me someone of how too get the files checked.. eh like chkdisk or something??? [05:26] GeminiK: you probably want /etc/init.d/gdm stop [05:27] strN00B: directories always have to be executable to access... you should have everything in the directory at least readable though [05:27] arr [05:27] i am deleting this stupid ubuntu now [05:27] strN00B: can be 550 if you don't want them to be able to change anything, for instance [05:28] If I want to find all of the symbolic links in my home directory, what command do I use? [05:28] anyone? [05:28] fde, but its my 'network storage' location so that would be pointless [05:28] TJ-42 ls -l [05:29] hmw: what troubles are you having? [05:29] strN00B: alright, then why are you complaining about it being writable and executable? [05:29] fde: when I try to login the sessions never finishes loading, where can I find a log if you know on what it loaded last? [05:29] hmw: ls -l just gives me a listing of the contents of my current directory. I want to find all of the sym links in the home directory and it's subdirectory [05:29] GeminiK: /var/log/Xorg.0.log [05:30] fde, im not.. im trying to be secure about it =/ im new to linux and learning dont hate me for asking questions [05:30] tritiu different. i deleted the partition and installed 8.10, and some things wont do. currently i was trying to undo the codecs, i installed in totem. it now only crashes, when i try to play a dvd. previous 7.10 didnt make so much troubles [05:30] strN00B: I'm not... haha... just saying, all directories have to be executable to open them [05:30] strN00B: what exactly is your issue currently? [05:31] good afternoon everyone [05:31] can anyone help me with a touchpad synaptic/touchpad issue? [05:31] strN00B: wrt permissions... the first bit means user, second is group, third is other... so if you set the last bit to 0, it will be pretty secure [05:31] Evening everyone. I've been using ATI drivers and installing them by hand since 8.8 or so. I use the instructions here: http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Ubuntu_Hardy_Installation_Guide . Up to now, it has been working fine, but since I tried to install 8.11, I can no longer get my drivers to work at all, and I alwys end up in 800x600. Can anyone suggest what might be at issue? [05:31] hah [05:32] fde, just messing around with samba configure file. [05:32] @chunky have you checked your xorg.conf? [05:32] yes [05:32] Chunky_Ks, ever used the 1-click ymp? [05:32] repeatedly. [05:32] ymp? [05:32] strN00B: basic maths for finding the number.... 4 = read 2 = write 1 = execute... add them together for the total value, each no more than once [05:32] a reboot helped, tritium. after messing around and installing different stuff, now it plays the dvd. arr. i mistyped your name, if you want to read my previous response. [05:32] Yast Meta Package aka 1 click installer [05:32] i need to kill a user from the command line. ...grrr there was an app i use to use to do this..console app and i cant remember what its called [05:32] fde, yes i have my Unix book in front me [05:32] strN00B: great [05:33] hi, can anyone recommend a reliable domain name registration service ?

[05:33] strN00B: its owned by the sambausers group (or whatever its called) ? [05:34] fde not sure.. i can look into it [05:34] tritium: next issue would be to DISABLE that annoying clone mode. before i messed around, i got compiz with only one screen, then i accidently installed the suggested better drivers (fglrx) and now i cant get rid of the clone mode. radeon 9600 [05:34] "skill -KILL -u didi" [05:34] if anything you should just go XP+DX10+VTP [05:34] didi is the username [05:34] strN00B: ls -l the directory you're trying to share [05:34] strN00B: give me an example line from that output [05:34] and then you've basically remade vista in about 10 seconds [05:34] Buhmanator: my brother uses vista, hes using it right now in fact [05:35] @buhmanator how do you install dx10? [05:35] on xp? [05:35] I've done it myself [05:35] Chubbz: ##windows [05:35] though I had no shader model 4 [05:35] ic [05:35] so I couldn't exactly test it [05:35] fde since i chmod 770 my user cannot even open the dir ;x [05:35] my bad fde. [05:35] can anyone help me with a touchpad synaptic issue? [05:35] but on xp, dxdiag does indeed report dx10 [05:35] strN00B: is user in the sambausers group?

[05:59] Chubbz, the current is 2.6.27-7.16 if you want the kernel 2.6.28 you will have to compile it yourself which I don't recommend. [05:59] doc|home, have you turned up the mic volume? The volume is independent of your speakers. right click the speaker at the top right of the screen and choose preferences.

[06:05] or what might be the reason I dont have sounds [06:05] oOarthurOo it may not be an xorg issue.

As long as the drivers support your system and the mic setting is correct, it shouldn't matter if the mic is internal or external (I would think).

[06:18] that sounds like the xandros version jomacki [06:19] faryshta: just drop it, and investigate ubottu in private when you don't know if the factoid exists or not. [06:19] oh, thought it was ubuntu, default theme is that ubuntu brown [06:20] oh whoops sorry ok nice [06:21] tritium, you realize that what you are saying is not helping right? [06:21] faryshta: DROP IT! [06:21] GeminiK ok that config is clean. the options menu "should" not restart gdm. i'm not sure what you have going on there. btw as per the question you asked about having to lose settings if you reinstall you don't have too. if your home is on another partition/disk just don't format it... or if not then "sudo tar -czf /backup_of_my_home.tgz /home" and save the tarball backup some place until you finish reinstalling. [06:21] that is what I was doing, asking about video conferences.

[06:35] zesta: apt-get remove --purge. you also may just diable "roamig mode" for wired connection, that should work [06:35] disable [06:36] Chubbz: can you tell me how to get it to stop resetting back to DHCP every reboot? :) [06:36] hey guys.. after upgrading to 8.10 i realized alsamixer has next to no options or controls.. as a matter of fact it just has master control.. the problem I'm having is identifying the different audio ports on my laptop to configure skype properly... [06:36] anybody here a dual-boot master? I'm having a problem getting a dual boot set up with an older computer with a 1028 cylinder boundary limit [06:36] anyone had trouble with their titlebars since 8.10? [06:36] GeminiK the untaring would look something like " cd / ;sudo tar -xzf /media/Western/backup* " [06:36] root______: heh nice, I should learn how to read those logs and confs :) [06:37] root______: k writing down [06:37] Jason_: sorry, was eating. Nope, new laptop, never used any other distro with it [06:37] GeminiK i didn't actually answer your Q and it would be better if you knew how. so command mount will show you what is mounted where [06:37] bitmouse: "I'm having a problem getting a" is no exact description. Please state the error message that you obtained. [06:38] zesta: works? [06:38] GeminiK so will df -h [06:38] Can anybody help me get the broadcom 4309 wireless card working in 8.10? Is ndiswrapper required? [06:39] hello [06:39] is there some way i can see how big each folder on my hdd is? [06:39] I'm auto mounting my home directory with libpam-mount, all the files show up fine but it's not loading the config files (firefox, ssh, wine, etc.). Anyone have any idea how to debug? I'm not even sure how configs normally get loaded. [06:39] speaking of mounts i have a question for who ever can answer. why does /proc/mounts say that /sys is mounted when /sys doesn't exist ??? [06:39] I am roaming for help getting a decent dock for ubuntu. [06:39] anyone ? [06:39] i mean, have a list of every folder and be able to sort by size [06:39] QuiescentWonder: every single folder? [06:39] Ratchet--: take a look at avant-window-navigator [06:39] QuiescentWonder: man du, du -csh /path/to/folder [06:39] QuiescentWonder: in a command line or gui? [06:39] the problem is multitude, but I think it stems from my confusion of how to setup the partitions properly, and the correct way to carry out the various installs, basically my bios is old enough that it can't read beyond the first 512mbs, so I have to put my boot partition there, but i am wondering if XP also has to have it's boot files within that space as well. [06:40] ziroday: I am very new to Ubuntu. Life isn't as simple as that. Where is this at? [06:40] in a gui, preferably. i'm just trying to figure out where all the crap is so i can clean it up [06:40] i'm not very organized [06:40] I could put XP in the begining but I would prefer to have a separate boot partition [06:40] Ratchet--: sure, you can install the package from the repos [06:40] QuiescentWonder: Look at the program in Applications > Accesories > Disk Usage Analyzer [06:41] ziroday: I don't understand. I am looking for instructions on getting Kxdocker, as the instructions are unclear. [06:41] ah, thanks. i didn't know about that [06:41] Ratchet--: so you want kxdocker as a dock or avant-window-navigator (awn) as a dock? [06:41] ziroday: KxDocker. [06:42] ok.... i dual boot... and i want to be able to switch between ibex and vista and have ibex remember which programs were running at the time i logged off, and then have them reopen in their previous configuration when i log back in... does anyone know how to do this????? [06:42] Ratchet--: are you using kde? [06:42] root______: well seems like i'm set, I guess breaking my system was bound to happen, I had it running for a really long time, did the online upgrade from 8.04 :) [06:42] ziroday: Grub Ubuntu. [06:42] ziroday: Not sure what KDE is, and whether or not I got it. [06:42] Anyone got Ventrilo to work on Ubuntu? [06:42] Hmm [06:42] root______: anyways I really appreciate you profesionalism, It's just aswome that you helped :) [06:43] I'd really like to get this to work the "official" way since we are looking to deply ubuntu on many more machines [06:43] Ratchet--: okay, I'll take that as Ubuntu (Gnome) instead of Kubuntu (KDE) [06:43] ziroday: Yes, Gnome. [06:43] Ratchet--: which guide are you following currently? [06:44] ziroday: Well, there's none on the website, which is why I got confused. I can download the source from the website, but I am unable to compile due to lack of help. [06:44] root______: and GN, he what hassle lol [06:44] zesta: /etc/network/interfaces [06:45] zesta: config a static ip, no need to dick around with nm [06:45] zesta: /etc/network/interfaces is debian-way, network-manager is fancy way === horror is now known as yalamanda [06:45] Frogzoo: what will nm do if I do that, though? [06:45] Ratchet--: okay, kxdocker doesn't appear to be in the repositories, futhermore its designed with KDE in mind, not Gnome. I strongly you recommend you use avant-window-navigator instead [06:45] zesta: it will mind its own business, but you can still use it to configure wireless as needed [06:45] it would be nice if the graphical tool that is documented and recommended worked properly for people that are less technical [06:46] ziroday: Hmkay. I'll try that. How I get it? [06:46] Ratchet--: you know how to install applications on ubunut? [06:46] ziroday: a) Add/Remove programs list. b) sudo apt-get install [06:46] can I get some help please? I'm having trouble with my wifi connection. I can see all the available connections in networkmanager, but i can't connect. (the networks I have tried were all open networks) [06:46] ziroday: all I know. [06:46] second question... How do I get X to save the current settings and hard set them, so that if my machine reboots while the monitor is off, it doesnt screw everything up [06:47] Ratchet--: okay thats fine, the package name is avant-window-navigator. So you can install it with sudo apt-get install avant-window-navigator [06:47] ziroday: okay, let me try. [06:49] ziroday: thanks for your time and help. it worked. <3 [06:49] Is there a way to get Ventrilo Working? on Ubuntu? [06:49] Doeas anyone know of a channel I can get help with songbird? and before you say it there is no songbird channel [06:49] Ratchet--: great! Have fun === horror is now known as milanguy [06:50] anybody know how to properly setup your partitions on a dual boot for an older system with a 1028 cylinder limit for the bios? basically you can only install boot files within the first 512mb of harddrive space for the bios to be able to read them. [06:51] does anyone know how to test your mic?? perhaps from a terminal or a gui app? [06:51] Greencoat1983: the channel is #songbird on irc.mozilla.org, you really shouldn't ask here for directions to other channels ") [06:51] bitmouse: make /dev/hda1 be your /boot, the rest as usual [06:51] Mr_Fixit: you can use the Sound Recorder program [06:52] does anyone know why i would be getting this error message from df >>> /bin/df: `/sys': No such file or directory === shifty is now known as GeminiK [06:53] root______: /sys appera in /etc/mtab but not really mounted? [06:53] root______, Its not recommended to use irc with super user privs [06:53] alkero /etc/mtab is a link to /proc/mounts [06:53] bitmouse: to make it more clear: only the /boot partition must be < 1024 cyls [06:53] root______: what command are you executing? [06:53] ogre yeah i know. [06:53] ziroday df [06:54] ciao [06:55] ok ziroday that worked.. my problem is that my laptop is using an onboard mic when i want it to use the headphone/mic.. anyways to switch this?? alsamixer is not of much use.. [06:55] Mr_Fixit: no clue about that, sorry [06:55] Mr_Fixit you might be able in the mixer settings to select which input device it uses [06:56] root______: Hey if you there I have thank you for you help, amazing stuff that you can do [06:56] geminik welcome. [06:56] root______, you are talking about alsamixer?? it seems when i upgraded... it lost all options except for master volume control [06:56] root______: not in my system... maybe that's why you get the error? [06:56] how do i show file extentions in gnome? [06:56] Mr_Fixit yes i was speaking of alsamixer [06:57] root______: have now for me to sleep off the horror :), GN and thanks again [06:57] alkero i get the error because the system thinks that /sys (non-existant dir) is mounted... [06:57] can I get some help please? I'm having trouble with my wifi connection. I can see all the available connections in networkmanager, but i can't connect. (the networks I have tried were all open networks). ubuntu 8.10 intrepid, atheros ar5007eg madwifi modules. [06:57] yea root______ i dunno why.. but i don't have any thing in alsamixer... kinda redundant for a mixer when it only controls your master volume... [06:58] heh [06:58] Mr_Fixit yeah... perhaps you use pulseaudio ? [06:58] root you should not be logged in as root [06:58] Could anyone give me a hand with an irserver issue, longer error report at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=989825 [06:58] n=bob@ip70-178-117-123.ks.ks.cox.net [06:58] RITN why not ? [06:59] RITN root is a good name [06:59] Tim183, i noticed that with open networks... for some reason 8.10 prefers to connect to secure networks [06:59] http://paste.ubuntu.com/75550/ [06:59] Mr_Fixit: ah right [06:59] RITN it's kinda generic don't you think :))) [06:59] there is another ubuntu box here connected to the same network [07:00] alright thanks for the advice I am going to try it again, for some reason windows throws all my partitions into a logical partition while Installing which I think is causing problems, cause I am having trouble booting into windows [07:00] can someone help me with a sound problem [07:00] I hope it doesn't do that this time, windows is not very considerate of partition schemes, I've noticed [07:01] bitmouse: heh. don't let windows to partition you harddrive while installing, it always make a mess [07:01] afte ra while on firefox something hijacks my sound device and i cant use it anymore [07:01] and all i get is is an error saying "unable to open slave" [07:02] okay well ive installed my nvidia drivers and... i'm not a complete newb to linux i've been able to set up archlinux and gentoo. I'm finding though with ubuntu and kubuntu the screen seems to say its running at 50-60Hz. I know it supports 85, as i've achieved that in (arch & gentoo where i manually wrote my xorg config) oh and in windows. [07:02] and i hate having to restart just to get my sound working again [07:02] direct rendering and all that works like a charm though [07:02] hi all, the command "test -x lksjdfklja" returns nothing. the file lksjdfklja does not exist. Shouldn't my test command return me an error instead ? [07:02] i really was looking for a clean solution without me having to write my own xorg config [07:02] nvidia-settings also says it supports 85. [07:03] and sets that modeline [07:03] mikematic tst does not print any outpu, it is used becouse of it's exit status [07:04] gedit used to be ok. but today it just stucked when i use it for a 300kb .txt copy and paste job [07:04] what happens to gedit ? i just intalled 8.04 [07:04] ALSA lib pcm_dmix.c:874:(snd_pcm_dmix_open) unable to open slave | can someone please tell me how to fix this [07:05] alkero, so it would give the correct answer when used in if statement and loop conditions ?

[07:10] is there a way to add the "application" menu to the awn main menu applet? [07:10] is there a way to add the "application" menu to the awn main menu applet? [07:10] i can't do simple things on linux anymore such as drag and drop and use Start+key combinations, wtf?

[07:11] I am using a windows xp cd [07:11] bitmouse: heh, yes, it's not windows channel. but as a friedenly whisper, i can tell you that partitioning form linux first always works for me [07:11] with sp2 already on it [07:12] can I get some help please? I'm having trouble with my wifi connection. I can see all the available connections in networkmanager, but i can't connect. (the networks I have tried were all open networks) - PM me if anyone can help, thanks [07:12] bitmouse i have never used xp and only vesta for one day... [07:12] bitmouse but there is a ##windows channel here on freenode [07:12] is there a way to add the "application" menu to the awn main menu applet? [07:13] bitmouse: err. teh correct partition type is "7" [07:13] how would I use rsync with the dry run and recursive option? [07:13] Tim183-> if you do sudo iwlist wlan0 scan you can see these AP? [07:13] rsync -nr or rsync -n -r [07:13] join /server irc.jesusrocksonirc.net [07:14] ？？ [07:14] IS THERE ANYONE？ [07:14] Tim183: the network manager is a bit screwy with finalising wireless connections, I sometimes get into a closer range and then move back away [07:14] Keer, hi [07:14] yes, there is a one [07:14] THERE IS A LOT [07:14] yeah [07:14] lol [07:14] KEER 1300 clients connected and you ask a question like that.... [07:15] probably most populated channel on freenode [07:15] that guy is on the ball [07:15] perhaps [07:15] maybe even all of irc [07:15] nah i doubt that [07:15] 1300 max for all irc? I hope not [07:15] okay, someone tell me how to work command options because I'm apparently too silly to figure it out [07:15] * nintendork32 is torrenting Xubuntu [07:15] bustaplz: comman -option1 -optionb etc. [07:16] okay [07:16] Frogzoo i think he meant most on one channel on all of.... [07:16] i thought so =D [07:16] yeah thats what i meant ;) [07:16] ive seen 1500 here before [07:16] root______: so did I [07:16] hi [07:16] this room has 2000 prior to a new release [07:17] which is more useful if you wanted to get into exploits php or perl/ [07:17] is there a way to add the "application" menu to the awn main menu applet? [07:17] Great_Gatsby: c? [07:17] n8tuser: http://paste.ubuntu.com/75553/ [07:17] Great_Gatsby perl [07:17] web exploits Frogzoo [07:17] by default, rsync will not delete files in the destination, right? [07:17] oh web... [07:17] Great_Gatsby: don't ask that here, please. [07:18] why? [07:18] tritium: it's a legit question surely? [07:18] Frogzoo: no, we don't support people in pursuing exploits. That's highly inappropriate and offtopic. [07:18] Great_Gatsby because you didn't specify that it was for security testing your own network... [07:18] tritium: are you a mod? [07:18] [07:19] Frogzoo magic funny hat beware [07:19] Tim183-> you seem to only detect one AP ? [07:19] yes, here at home there is only one [07:19] Frogzoo: that's irrelevant. Carry on. [07:19] n8tuser: occasionally i can see the neighbours [07:19] Tim183-> so what is the issue now? [07:20] n8tuser: I simply cannot connect! [07:20] is there a way to add the "application" menu to the awn main menu applet? [07:20] how to list the clients connected to the AP on the wireless lan? [07:20] Tim183-> this is your AP right and its not encrypted? [07:20] I am using networkmanager 0.7.0 [07:20] Great_Gatsby:C++ [07:21] can connect to internet ;) [07:21] n8tuser: it's alright, there are currently 2 other computers connected, one an old ubuntu box and the other xp [07:22] Tim183-> 2 connected to the AP wirelessly now? [07:22] Tim183-> am getting confused when you said its alright [07:23] what does it mean when i get dropped into (initramfs) during the live cd boot? [07:23] n8tuser: yes, two other computers are conencted to the AP now [07:23] when i move a slider in the volume control, often the link between the two channels (L/R) is released and the other thumb jumps to zero volume. I usually never want this, can I somehow "hardlock" the link or must i move the slider really that exactly to prevent this? [07:23] brace expansion is as cool as snow cones in febuary [07:23] I'm looking for some advice to buy a new video card with one gig of ram [07:24] n8tuser: I am connected via ethernet currently [07:24] I'm having a really weird mounting issue. I have 2 spare drives in my system (identical drives). I mount both of them in the identical way. One is writeable; the other is not. both are ext2... any ideas? [07:24] hi [07:24] Tim183-> so am confused as to what you said you can not connect wirelessly... which host? perhaps you can elaborate on how many host you want connected wirelessly ? [07:24] to reproduce it: take one slider, move it up/down and "accidently" move horizontally [07:25] anobfuscator: hope, the mount point is not identical, huh? [07:25] anobfuscator chown /mount/point [07:25] alkero: no.. ;-) [07:25] anobfuscator else you can chmod /mount/point [07:25] root: ah, doh, thanks [07:25] anobfuscator welcome [07:26] n8tuser: sorry for the confusuion..... there is one AP, there is currently 2 computers connected wirelessly (1 xp and one ubuntu). I am currently connected to the same AP via ethernet [07:26] anobfuscator only other thing to even check is mount | grep mount/point to see that it's not "ro" [07:26] hi, booting in to single user mode from grub why can i not do mount -o remount -o ro / ? [07:27] it gives me / busy [07:27] n8tuser: i am using ubuntu 8.10, i am unable to connect to the AP wirelessly [07:27] timob mount -no remount,ro / [07:27] n8tuser: i can see the wireless network on networkmanager, but connection fails [07:27] Tim183-> which ubuntu version is able to connect via wifi? [07:28] 8.10 [07:28] lol [07:28] root______: same error again [07:28] Tim183: does getting closer to the access point (probably a router) help? [07:28] Tim183-> man you are confusing as heck, one 8.10 can connect and another 8.10 cannot? [07:28] timob losetup [07:28] root: nope, it works now, thanks. [07:29] sum1 told me that mac osx is unix based... but wouldnt that mean its possible to run its software on ubuntu? (sorry if my question is stupid, but i'm newbie) [07:29] fenerli7: i am sitting about 4 metres from it [07:29] anobfuscator welcome. [07:29] How can I save profile pictures with higher resolution with pidgin ? [07:29] Tim183-> its easier for me to follow you if you have a hostname ..to avoid confusion okay? [07:29] n8tuser: yes that is correct === mauritz is now known as [[MauritZ]] [07:29] ahtmly2k: a lot of open source software will compile on osx [07:29] ahtmly2k: Short answer: no. ;-) [07:29] n8tuser: no, he misunderstood the question [07:29] ahtmly2k basicly mmm no. [07:30] is there a way to add the "application" menu to the awn main menu applet? [07:30] fenerli7-> yeah, its hard to follow what he is saying [07:30] <[[MauritZ]]> hi @ll [07:30] bummer, i would really love to have adobe cs4 to be able to run on ubuntu [07:30] n8tuser: sorry, bit of a newb [07:30] root______: i need to mount / read only to make an image of the partition [07:30] ahtmly2k: why cs4 as opposed to cs3 or do you just want adobe products? [07:31] ahtmly2k: e.g. do you know about crossover? [07:31] or even wine? [07:31] timob and losetup didn't help? [07:31] @list [07:31] Tim183-> okay give a name to the host that can connect, which os and version? which one cannot connect and which os version? [07:31] help! gedit is taking an unusually long time to load. its slow and crashes frequently, any ideas? [07:31] well yeah i mean adobe products, but since i'm using cs4 on vista, it would be nice if i didnt hafta dual boot [07:31] MHz128-> learn vim or nano text editors [07:31] crossover? [07:32] n8tuser: host? ummmmmmmmmmmm [07:32] MHz128: check memory, use memtest. check hard disk, use badclocks [07:32] ahtmly2k: ok. yes, wine and crossover can be used as a compatibility layer to use windows programs [07:32] Tim183-> host == a computer [07:32] lets say ryan ubuntu 8.10 <--- can connect [07:32] ahtmly2k: wine usually works (http://wine.appdb.org) and crossover sometimes makes things run better, particularly with MS Office [07:33] any help on my problem? I can't drag and drop (I can see items being dragged but the drop doesn't work (tried files, toolbar buttons, text, ...). Happened all of a sudden at boot up or some time after (worked fine for months up to this point) [07:33] and had to happen when I wanted to reorganise a lot of files :p [07:33] n8tuser: Tim (me) ubuntu 8.10 <--- cannot connect [07:33] any cha cha guides in here!? [07:33] so crossover's an app? cause wine cant handle heavy apps... i tried installing cs3 a while back [07:33] Tim183-> ryan and tim same kind of hardware and nic cards? [07:34] n8tuser: no [07:34] ahtmly2k: yes, cs3 doesn't work through wine, cs2 does [07:34] Is open office 3 available for Intrepid yet? [07:34] fenerli7 check the log and see what packages changed between working and non-working [07:34] i heard vm's the only answer for heavy-duty apps [07:34] when updating it automaticly goes to 8.10 from 8.04.1 correct? [07:34] Cpudan80: through PPA repositories only afaik [07:34] n8tuser: ryan uses netgear card (desktop) [07:34] fenerli7 /var/log/dpkg.log in particular [07:34] does anyone here use 9800gt nvidia chip on intrepid ? thanks [07:34] Tim183-> and tim hw and nic? [07:34] fenerli7: Any idea when it'll be fully pushed to the repos? [07:35] but i dont know how to use it properly, configurations n stuff [07:35] root______: no updates since tuesday, i've booted at least twice between last package update and now [07:35] n8tuser: Tim is a laptop with the atheros ar5007eg with madwifi modules [07:35] !wine [07:35] WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux - More information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine - Search the !AppDB for application compatibility ratings - Join #winehq for application help [07:35] i'll put it differently.. [07:35] Cpudan80: can't remember, it was mentioned on www.ubuntugeek.com though [07:35] fenerli7 o.O [07:35] ahtmly2k: check appdb.winehq.com for wine compatible progs [07:35] i know this is noobish but, when updating it automaticly goes to 8.10 from 8.04.1 correct? [07:35] root______: what? [07:36] how to i get the main menu applet in awn to look like this: http://bp1.blogger.com/_2rbhsHEyVVg/R70EGEQi3bI/AAAAAAAAAIg/vrzv8SruLk0/s1600-h/main_menu_applet.png [07:36] Tim183-> i think the atheros chips are having issues in 8.10, google for them.. here is one version [07:36] nintendork32: You can update from 8.04 to 8.10, yes. But that's different than regular updates on 8.04 [07:36] n8tuser: yes i know all about that [07:36] nintendork32: no, 8.10 is the upgraded version [07:36] Flannel: should i update? [07:36] i heard its not that good [07:36] n8tuser: so i bought a usb wireless dongle today, it gives em the same result [07:37] nicolah: I use an 8 series nvidia on ubuntu intrepid, but you will have better response on #nvidia [07:37] This is uWhy does the "OK" button grey out in NetworkManager when I select "static"? [07:37] Tim183-> if you knew all abou that, then why ask the same question over again? [07:37] well how do i do a full update? [07:37] nintendork32: Is there anything in 8.10 that strikes your fancy? 8.04 is LTS, so if you'd prefer a longer upgrade cycle, 8.04 will let you stick with it for a few years, then upgrade straight to 10.04 [07:37] nintendork32: It depends on what you need -- 8.04 is ... [07:37] And I see that Flannel beat me to the rest [07:37] Flannel++ [07:37] nintendork32: what have you got now? 8.04 or 8.10 ? [07:37] i updated, didn't have any problems [07:38] 8.04 is something that starts with an 's', ends with a 't' and is high in the middle [07:38] LSD|Ninja: Not helpful. [07:38] n8tuser: because i believe the problem lies in networkmanager or something as theproblem comes both when i try to use the atheros chip or a usb dongle to connect [07:38] LSD|Ninja: stablet? [07:38] fenerli7: how do i update [07:38] !upgrade | nintendork32 [07:38] nintendork32: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes [07:38] depends idk what i have [07:38] LSD|Ninja: wait, never mind [07:39] nintendork32: `lsb_release -a` will tell you [07:39] nintendork32: do you want to update or upgrade? [07:39] Tim183: Is the AP using WPA2? [07:39] Tim183: enterprise level WPA2 [07:39] thanks fenerli7 [07:39] Tim183-> im going to ignore you, you are like trolling, you knew of atheros issues yet you insist [07:39] LSD|Ninja: for a server, 8.04 is the best option... and if you don't plan on upgrading every 6 months, stick to it... but many things about the latest version are better, yes [07:39] (best option as far as Ubuntu goes*) [07:40] n8tuser: sorry i didnt mean to offend [07:40] Cpudan80: it is an open network [07:40] hmm [07:40] there goes my theory [07:41] hmm [07:41] should i keep long term support? [07:41] n8tuser: but even if I try to use the USB wireless dongle the result is the same, so I dont think it is an atheros issue [07:41] Tim183-> why not remove network manager, and perhaps use wicd or just old plain command line to connect [07:42] nintendork32: What reason would you be upgrading for? [07:42] Flannel: what are the upgrades and benifites [07:42] n8tuser: i will give wicd a try i tried it once a few months ago, but havent tried wicd with the usb dongle [07:42] nintendork32: You should stick with 8.04 ;) [07:43] Flannel: wtf, why? [07:43] sorry, disregard the "wtf" [07:43] i personally like having more than one linux system i can boot incase (which hardly ever happens anymore) i break it. [07:43] Tim183-> few months ago, 8.10 was a beta..or even perhaps an alpha.. [07:43] n8tuser: that was in hardy [07:44] Flannel, really? what is in the new one? === umberto is now known as umbertta [07:44] should i always stick with LTS? [07:45] nintendork32: I recommend upgrading, nice updated file manager and network manager, and lots of other small but nice things [07:45] fenerli7, cant i just update gnome? [07:45] why only gnome? [07:45] nintendork32-> dont do an upgrade if you dont need to, lest you like having issues..just hang around and see the complaints people have due to upgrade [07:46] uhm, the new ubuntu is buggy [07:46] how to i get the main menu applet in awn to look like this: http://bp1.blogger.com/_2rbhsHEyVVg/R70EGEQi3bI/AAAAAAAAAIg/vrzv8SruLk0/s1600-h/main_menu_applet.png [07:46] How do I prevent ndiswrapper from loading during bootup? [07:46] you only want to stay with LTS if you rely on your system to be very stable, e.g. for servers [07:46] nintendork32: google "what's new in ubuntu 8.10" [07:46] MHz128-> blacklist it [07:47] n8tuser, ive tried that, /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist....... its still loading [07:48] fenerli7 or if you are new to linux and need some time to explore before you have to face a console... [07:48] root______: umm... why would you need to face a console any more than before? [07:49] MHz128-> doesnt ndiswrapper have an unload command? i think it unloads it permanently...its been so long since ive used it [07:49] fenerli7 you tell me why so many people come in here saying things like. "just upgraded and now x wont start" [07:49] hi to all [07:49] why is my IDE drive not /dev/hdXX ? [07:49] i boot from sda1 [07:49] Do anybody tell me how to configure ror on ubuntu [07:49] root______: never heard of that, sorry [07:50] n8tuser, ill look it up thanks! what card you using? [07:50] root______: is the new kernel screwing with systems? [07:50] sda is more identified with sata drives as far as I know [07:50] MHz128-> not the infamous broadcom 43xx [07:50] n8tuser, does it work with WPA? [07:50] bn43 my boot disk is sata, but my storage and my dvd are IDE [07:50] bn43: yes, my IDE drives are hda#, SATA are sda# [07:51] MHz128-> i dont know, i dont use WPA2 [07:51] ls /dev/hda --> file does not exist [07:51] n8tuser, WEP? [07:51] MHz128: WPA1 works, WPA2 didn't work long ago (1 year?) but may be working now [07:51] then that makes sense :-) [07:51] hi guys, if apt-get install ends up installing all the dependencies, how can I apt-get remove so it will remove the dependencies as well? [07:51] nintendork32: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/releasenotes/810overview [07:51] hmw-> look into /etc/udev/rules.d/ search the udev rules there [07:51] bn43 sd? is scsi device nodes and that is used for ide drives if scsi emulation is enabled, or for sata in some cases and for usb disk devices in almost all cases. [07:51] fenerli7, cool [07:51] MHz128-> yes [07:51] I just managed to get the device node /dev/ttyUSB0 appear for my irtrans by removing brltty. It's not working properly though. Is there some background processes for brltty that might disturb the IR device also? [07:52] im updating [07:52] n8tuser thx [07:52] has stuff i love [07:52] !updating [07:52] Sorry, I don't know anything about updating [07:52] !updates [07:52] Sorry, I don't know anything about updates [07:52] !upgrade | nintendork32 [07:52] root______: ok - I don't understand the reasons fully - thanks for explaining [07:52] nintendork32: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes [07:53] nintendork32: Bigger version numbers doesn't mean better. Just keep that in mind [07:53] hey is making a partition bootable, the same as toggling it active? [07:53] i know [07:53] root______: do you u know why there needs to be emulation? [07:53] found plenty of useful stuff [07:54] bn43 used to help live CD's find the cd/dvd drive and hard disks [07:54] !support > UserC [07:54] UserC, please see my private message [07:54] bitmouse: linux doesn't care about bootable marked partitions [07:55] rexus:apt-get autoremove [07:55] drives are labeled sda now because of a change in the drivers... there isnt scsi emulation, sdX used to mean scsi device, now you can thing it means storage device [07:55] bitmouse linux doesn't care if you have a partition [07:55] damn [07:55] this will make my xubuntu torrent even slower [07:55] Frogzoo too ^ [07:55] DoruHush: apt-get autoremove ?? [07:56] no, just apt-get autoremove [07:56] rexus: as root [07:56] sloopy are you saying that the kernel no longer supports hd? devices ? [07:57] yes of course DoruHush, I'll be using sudo [07:57] rexus: man apt-get (for more info) [07:57] I read it already, I just missed that part.. [07:57] thanks DoruHush [07:57] no, i am saying the driver has been rewritten so all storage devices are accessed as sdX [07:58] sloopy that's scsi emulation even if it's not default [07:58] hmm... i dont find useful stuff on the web: my dvd playback is slightly below good (a hickup every 2 seconds) - P4 3GHz Radeon9600 Compiz [07:58] n8tuser: tried it with wicd [07:58] n8tuser: no differenec [07:58] sloopy all i'm saying is a rose by any other name... [07:58] Tim183-> now try the command line [07:59] root______, read again... storage device drivers were rewriten... [07:59] i will need some help with that if possible [07:59] sloopy link ? [07:59] no, there is no emulation... [08:00] should a P4 3GHz Radeon9600 with Compiz at 1280x1024 play DVDs perfectly fluidly? === scientes_ is now known as scientes [08:01] sloopy no link ?

[08:02] codeane: did you check volume settings? might have gone to zero [08:02] ahh it happened sometime early in the 2.6 kernel... i dont rem when, but its been a while [08:03] codename:plugin your speakers? [08:03] LoL [08:03] Yeah they're plugged in. [08:03] Nice one though. [08:03] n8tuser: command line connection [08:03] n8tuser: I might have found a howto, see how i go [08:03] codeane noisewaterphd skype sometimes does strange things to my sound settings [08:03] hi [08:04] have you done anything recently you can think of that could have triggered it? [08:04] Tim183->okay, commands are like iwconfig, dhclient, ifdown, ifup [08:04] new installs, updates etc [08:04] It wasnt skype [08:04] Tim183 ifup eth0 or iwconfig blah blah blah kind of thing ? [08:04] I booted Nexius up [08:04] and it didnt owrk [08:04] after that [08:04] root______: could you step me through it? [08:05] Hi everyone - Anyone able to help on "auth-client-config"?

Obviously I can install Nagios and/or Zabbix onto a server. But I am more curious if a an end to end provisioning exists, one that would allow me to manage Ubuntu AND Fedora for example. [08:12] root______ sad, that i am not as old as it, too *g* [08:12] :) [08:12] root______ presuming, that it is older than 35 yrs [08:12] ha anyone used k9 for ubuntu ?

But I'll get my google on and explore the world of "auth-client-config", it could be a syntax change or something. It seems to say I can choose from a list of options - but not the one I want. So I'll see what others have said.

[08:22] should a P4/Radeon9600/Compiz play DVDs perfectly fluid? [08:22] fenerli7 you get that ?

[08:24] uhm - can i prevent the compiz settings to get reset when i deactivate the comp.manager? [08:24] eg. by making a file read only [08:24] as long as you don't have to compile it like that one linux disto im happy [08:24] i forgot the name [08:25] hmw_ the busier things are the on the screen the harder to keep fluidity in the dvd playback and the crap needed to get past drm/copy_protection/encription on the dvd disks eat many resources [08:25] macjason0: yes, it's not very popular, probably because installing it is a bit hard. once you do though, it is a very nice and simple distro, hardly ever have to deal with any problems, the OS doesn't get in your way, you don't have to wait months for updates, configuration is simpler (/etc/rc.cnonf is great), AUR is a god send, among other benefits [08:25] how the heck do i mount a bin/cue on linux [08:25] root______ fenerli7 without compiz it's fine. [08:26] nice [08:26] hmw_ i kinda expected it would be [08:26] hmw_: what driver for the graphics card? [08:26] does anyone have any other ideas for me? [08:27] i am looking for a convenient way to switch between ( fenerli7 fglrx ) compiz active/inactive, but it resets some stuff like number of desktops etc. (this is wanted by the makers) - how could i more comfortably switch without always to re-enter the settings? [08:27] raven: use poweriso's linux version to convert it to iso or use cdemu (cdemu is hard to set up on ubuntu though if they are still yet to make a package for it) [08:28] hmw_: fusion-icon [08:28] hello [08:28] hmw_: install the package fusion-icon and add it as a startup app, you will get a tray icon where you can easily change compiz and its settings [08:28] hmw_: but your problem is a sign of a greater problem [08:29] kiru: hi [08:29] I have updated to 8.10 and I have trouble with my proftpd: gadmin-proftpd doesnt want to start anymore having this error message: child-process "su-to-root" could not be executed (no such file or directory) [08:29] fenerli7 i had BIG trouble getting a 3 monitor (radeon must be screen 0 and 1, vodoo banshee can only be monitor 2) === Guest26278 is now known as Aradiv [08:30] fenerli7 and the machine is quite as fast/slow as my 800MHz one [08:30] * root______ thinks the big problem is called "eye candy" [08:30] fenerli7 its also not very stable in ubuntu (i suspect gnome to be instable, not the sys itself) [08:30] root______: lol, compiz caused problems for me until 169.xx drivers, and I didn't get a smooth UI until 177.xx [08:31] root______: that and the fact that I needed some loose bindings feature toggled or something [08:31] are there any other network manager type programs apart from wicd?. I can't even connect manually though so I dont even know if that will help [08:31] see [08:31] i mean si [08:32] Tim183: manual text file configuration? there was also one other one besides nm and wicd but it wasn't any better [08:33] hm [08:34] fenerli7: ah ok, yes I tried to connect via command line (terminal) http://paste.ubuntu.com/75562/ [08:35] Tim183: lol, i had that exact thing 1 year and a bit ago, the only solution I had found was static DHCP [08:35] Tim183: it fixed up with something in hardy or gutsy though [08:35] fenerli7: how does that work? [08:36] Tim183: just specify your local address as 192.168.0.x and maybe do the same on your router [08:36] fenerli7: i could go back to hardy if needed [08:36] change 192.168.0. to whatever you are using [08:36] Tim183: it worked in hardy but not intrepid? [08:36] fenerli7: sorry, im a bit of a newbie, could you help me with that? [08:36] hello [08:37] how to install canon pixma ip1880 on ubuntu??? [08:37] Tim183: sorry, it's been a long time since i done any of that and can't remember, and don't really have the time to look it up [08:37] fenerli7: it worked in hardy about 5 months ago, then i did an upgrade in hardy and ive had this issue since [08:37] i thought intrepid would fix everything [08:37] HxC_: sys -> admin -> printing -> add printer [08:37] i plan to remove my ubuntu install on a dual boot machine,my ubuntu install is on a separate hd..how can i remove grub on the mbr? [08:39] fenerli7 if you provide me a method to make this icon not only change between composite/normal, but also switching xorg.confs (i cant have triple nor dualhead with compiz), i will worship you for 17.3 hours. [08:39] pilgrim_ install a windows mbr [08:39] !mbr [08:39] GRUB is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost GRUB after installing Windows?

I want to burn an AVI to DVD, but the problem is that the AVI has no subtitles (Finnish spoken... I don't understand Finnish very well). How can I burn the DVD with the English subtitles that I downloaded? [08:39] i have to do that but error when printing the file [08:40] fenerli7, i've download totem source code, but the icon are not in, so i think the icon come from another place, but where ? [08:40] so ill just remove the hd with ubuntu on it? [08:40] hi there [08:41] is it quicker installing the updates then it is downloading them? [08:41] hello. [08:41] nintendork32: depends on the speed of your connection [08:41] nintendork32: but i'd suggest yes [08:41] tim183: DSL [08:41] no dialup [08:42] I have a laptop with a dead cd drive and an external USB cd drive, but I can't get it to boot it from there, how can I install Ubuntu? [08:42] probably around an hour and a half to download the 8.10 [08:42] helloo!!!!! [08:42] hahaha [08:42] Pupeno probably only by upgrading your BIOS [08:42] i got the prob.. [08:42] Pupeno, use unetbootin (sp) to put an image of ubuntu onto a flash drive and boot from that [08:43] Pupeno or, if youre lucky, by using a PCMCIA controller [08:43] hmw_: I don't think I can do that. [08:43] Pupeno: if u dun wan to use unetboot, take out the hard disk, install ubuntu somewhere else, then put back in to the laptop [08:44] jbu311: how is a flash drive different than a USB CD drive? [08:44] Pupeno, I don't know how to begin answering that [08:44] jbu311: usually if the bios can't read from usb cd-rom, it will not read from usb thumbdrive as well [08:45] jbu311: i have a damn laptop like this too...... [08:45] Pupeno the last method i could think of, is to put the installs of ubuntu to the harddrive, either by booting to windows or by taking out the hard drive and plugging it it to your desktop pc (adapters arent expensive). but i couldnt tell you how to do this exactly [08:45] hi [08:45] pologtijaune: icons would be gnome (totem is part of gnome-extra afaik) [08:46] ce_cute [08:46] is it safe to use Limewire under ubuntu? or can you suggest a easy to use p2p apps === DiEGO is now known as Guest95813 [08:46] Pupeno, do you have the ability to boot from a usb device? [08:46] hello [08:46] !limewire > acp_ [08:46] acp_, please see my private message [08:46] hmw_: I don't have windows there, I have Ubuntu. I'd like to re-install because it's a mess, instead of upgrade. But even if I upgrade, if something goes wrong and I can't install, I'd be left with an expensive brick. [08:46] !limewire [08:47] limewire is a popular P2P client running on the Gnutella network.

[08:47] !frostwire > acp_ [08:47] acp_, please see my private message [08:47] jbu311: well, I'd say no, because I can't boot from the USB CD drive. [08:47] acp_: use frostwire [08:47] is there a tips to avoid that my mouse switch screens so easily on dual screens , kinda adding a edge resistance ? [08:47] hello [08:47] ok thanks [08:47] Pupeno: i suggest u to borrow a laptop from ur fren, take out ur hard disk and put into ur frens laptop, then install it. after install ubuntu, then put it back to ur laptop.... [08:48] Pupeno looks like you need to repair the cd drive then === EvolutionXtinct is now known as Evo-Sleep [08:48] acp_: frostwire is basically limewire for linux, but it's much easier to install [08:48] KatieKitty what about the different hardware? [08:48] KatieKitty would ubuntu adapt to the other notebook, after it has been installed in another? [08:48] hmw_: let ubuntu redetect it [08:48] acp_: if you're into p2p and torrenting, you may also want to know utorrent and azureus run well on linux, or you can use my favourite, deluge [08:49] KatieKitty is there a certain method to do this, or just boot? [08:49] hmw_: i've tried this b4, u only need to reconfigure the xserver [08:49] deluge is great [08:49] fenerli7, thanks Il look in to ur suggestions. [08:49] hmw_: the rest of the drivers will be auto detect... [08:49] KatieKitty good to know, thx. hope Pupeno has some friend willing to let him use the notebook *g* [08:50] hmw_ question is valid specially if the disk addressing changes. grub can be the first issue. [08:50] hmw_: yeah, hope Pupeno have fren will borrow him a laptop for this.... [08:50] root______ that could be circumvented with the grub menu by changin boot params, or am i wrong? === sirfelius_ is now known as sirfelius [08:51] hmw_ it can be "worked through" at boot time, yes. second issue could be network hardware. third could be xorg [08:52] anybody know why no matter what I do windows tries to use my whole hard disk when I try to install a dual boot? [08:53] well i have been to the gmail sign up page and it doesn't look like i can do so from console or at least not easily. so i'm gonna forget gmail for now.

[09:19] atheros by any chance? [09:20] fenerli7, i think fglrx is the ATI driver itself. This was somethin in addtion to the legacy nvidia legacy driver. [09:21] waterloo: lol, that's how little I know about ATI on linux [09:21] you're right, flgrx is the driver [09:21] fenerli7: its an atheros ar5007eg, i know that model has its issues.... i can see the available networks but cannot connect, I went today and bought a USB dongle (netgear wg111v3), but i got the same result there [09:21] TiMiDo of course iptables but that's not why i'm not concerned about my account, i'm not concerned about "root" because i made that account specally to irc with, it's the most restricted account on the whole system.

You could change that, of course. [10:19] Flannel: i mean for ubumtu [10:19] jjulian: yes, under normal circumstances, a reboot can not change settings in a bios; but a. it forces you to check for silly things, b. its not like it hurt to check, c. I've seen stranger things [10:19] Cann0n: the above statement applies to Ubuntu as well, as it's debian based. [10:19] so how do i change it?

My laptop did a strange thing that has happened once before (4 months ago). I booted it up as normal and I believe it was after grub had loaded the OS, the screen was filled with text like "ati.011352325 ERROR". then it rebooted, and gave me "GRUB ERROR 17". I know that if I reinstall Ubuntu everything will work as normal. SO WTF is going? [10:23] vlt_: will likely require a script to do.... also, since wireless networks (usually) require a password, that introduces another problem.... that is why it doesn't do it automatically like eth [10:24] i dont like being PMed without concent [10:24] why do I have git, gitcore, gitk in my package manager? And why do the latter 2 have ubuntu symbol next to them? Do I need all 3? I just wnat git. [10:24] holologht: which one should i choose?

[10:26] ziroday: you can use 'n' to go to the next match and shift-n for searching backwards [10:26] Cann0n: lazy is not reading the instructions you're given [10:26] Ohmu: you want git-core [10:26] Cann0n, did you have any other questions? [10:26] Flannel, yeh it hasn't dragged in anything [10:26] nintendork32: everything kde4 related has kde4 in the package name; everything else is kde3. [10:26] hi all.............. could anyone help me with the method to input options for synaptics in hal? i want to add the option for LOCKED DRAGS [10:26] holologht: ok thanks [10:26] Ohmu: git-core is the basics, and then if you wanted a gui (or whatever else there is) there are other git* packages for it [10:27] holologht: it doesnt work [10:27] vlt_: I cannot find anything there.

Is that normal? [11:24] I've been away for a few days and came back yesterday, now my computer keeps freezing several times a day. I downloaded an update yesterday (don't remember what but it was three packages, xml-something or gnome-something), at first I thought there was something wrong with my harddrive because it would freeze after Vuze had been on for a while seeding several torrents from that harddrive, but after checking for bad blocks with badblocks I d [11:24] idn't find anything. Today I was going to download Warsow and it freezed after ~16% was downloaded, after restarting (with the button since keyboard didn't work) I didn't have a network connection, had to restart again and now I'm connected. It *seems* like it has something to do with the network connection but I'm not sure. Can anyone help me with this? [11:24] eFfeM hmm that's highly unusual, try it again, maybe a dependency wasn't installed [11:24] Arenlor, already tried twice: The following packages have been kept back: [11:24] xinetd [11:24] 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 1 not upgraded. [11:24] NicEXE yes it's normal, you need to compile the kernel yourself enabling the large memory [11:25] fenerli7 doesn't work that [11:25] eFfeM try using "sudo apt-get install --reinstall xinetd" [11:25] NicEXE, As far as I know you can have up to 32Gig, but you may need to compile a kernel enabling big mem [11:25] Arenlor: ps says I am running both inetd and xinetd, is that ok ? [11:25] i just got ubunutu 8.10 working sweet with my laptop [11:25] but im just wondering where the best place is to download themes? [11:25] Arenlor, Mechdave: How to do that?

[11:27] fenerli7 [11:27] ssken [11:27] NicEXE, It is a little involved, (I haven't managed to compile one for years), but you need to download the kernel source, install build essential [11:27] schone: gnome-look.org (or something like that) [11:27] NicEXE, and follow a good tutorial on the latest kernels [11:27] ssken: lol.. anyway, just open a folder somewhere, e.g. Places > Home [11:27] can anyone tell me which package contains nm-applet? [11:27] schone how is your wireless? [11:28] cib0: networkmanager [11:28] cib0 yes, network-manager-gnome [11:28] cib0: and networkmanager-gnome [11:28] cib0, you can use packages.ubuntu.com search for finding that [11:28] how can i do an automatic driver lookup for recently plugged devices?

[11:38] ssken: I have no idea, I'm still puzzled as to why a simple mp3 player has given you this much grief [11:39] fenerli7 i just want to solve it dude [11:40] ssken: lol i realise, but i'm out of ideas [11:40] jjulian try 'sudo update-grub' from the repair disk, otherwise use Vista's repair disk to repair the MBR (master boot record) and go from there, you'll at least have Vista and XP back then [11:40] Arenlor [11:40] i did boot the live system [11:40] nope this doesnot download the images. its like saving it from file only the html file [11:41] jjulian don't just reinstall grub, just repair it with 'update-grub' [11:41] mounted my hard drive changed root to it, mounted proc and sys did a grub-insall with recheck and then a update-grub and then a update-initramfs -u ALL [11:41] fenerli7 ok :( [11:41] still get that message [11:41] ssken: did you try gnomad2 actually? [11:41] no is it good?:) [11:42] fenerli7 is it good :))0 [11:42] can someone tell me where .profile and .login would be? [11:42] Arenlor: http://wiki.ubuntuusers.de/GRUB?#Methode-3:-Chroot-ueber-ein-Live-System i did all the command on that link [11:43] : ) [11:43] :) [11:43] ssken: never used it, but it's designed specifically for devices like yours [11:43] for enviromental variables. [11:43] fenerli7 ok thx dude :) [11:43] I just upgraded to intrepid and my machine is locking out, about 1/2 hour after a reboot. three times in a row. any suggestions on what to look at first? [11:44] jjulian try http://users.bigpond.net.au/hermanzone/p15.htm#reinstallgrub [11:44] did anyone say anything? [11:44] StoneNote, what do you mean locking out? [11:45] StoneNote: X crashing, or complete system unresponding [11:45] Mechdave, keyboard, mouse ui no response. twice the hard drive light came on and stayed on. once it didn't [11:45] fenerli7, frozen. no response === nathanael is now known as natschil [11:45] StoneNote, Interesting one, do the logs say anything about it? [11:46] can you force restart X with Ctrl-Alt-Backspace, if not, does Alt-PrintScreen-B do anything? [11:46] until you find out, have a look at the system log viewer [11:46] StoneNote: System > Administration > System Log [11:46] fenerli7, I tried Ctrl-Alt-Del with no response. I'll give Ctrl-Alt-BS a try next time it happens [11:47] Arenlor, ok, thanks. I'll start there [11:48] StoneNote: Ctrl-Alt-Delete does nothing by default i think [11:49] correction: it just opens some logout screen [11:50] fenerli7, StoneNote, the Ctrl + Alt + Delete will reboot the machine whilst X is not running [11:50] another option is reinstalling ubuntu, smooth upgrades is not something well kown to ubuntu [11:50] fenerli7, brings up the log out session dialogue screen [11:50] Mechdave: yeh, probably [11:52] StoneNote, I would recommend you back up your /home and do a clean re install === darkbishop_ is now known as darkdeeper [11:55] hello , i have problem with my ubuntu , sometimes when i open any video my laptop freeze and i have to stop power from it , but that is sometimes not always and it show me screen with many lines on it ?!!! , any solution 4 that ?

[12:49] Kanzar: and read 'man patch', it's easy to read. You apply the patch before running dpkg-buildpackage. You should also increment the package version and append "~kanzar1" to the version using 'dch -i' [12:49] darkdeeper : thanx [12:49] blackpearl, np [12:49] well, linflash isn't available [12:50] Kanzar: and the patch is for metacity....

[12:54] Dvyjones: no you also need a 64bit-OS [12:55] another wuestion is, ubuntu is linux based and linux is unix based? am i correct? [12:55] So I need to change the CPU and install Ubuntu 64-bit version? [12:55] PookAir - linux is linux based [12:55] Bodsda: 64 bit is faster, right? [12:55] PookAir: linux is NOT unix based... [12:55] g0th, run sudo apt-get update then sudo apt-get upgrade.it will install ur openoffice3 [12:55] PookAir: ubuntu is a linux distribution which is not based on unix [12:55] Dvyjones: no [12:55] Dvyjones, not really, not unless you have shed loads of ram [12:55] Dvyjones: not really, depends on hardware configuration afaik... [12:56] Dvyjones: if you have mor then 4GB ram, use 64bit, otherwise use 32bit [12:56] Dvyjones: I head that unless you have 32Gig of RAM you can distiguish between 32bit and 64 bit OS performance [12:56] Dvyjones: I have a 64bit laptop and a Pentium M laptop -- no noticable difference between the two [12:57] Dvyjones, 32bit if good for ram that is 3 gig or less.. if you have mooore then u batter use 64 [12:57] From wikipedia: A common misconception is that 64-bit architectures are no better than 32-bit architectures unless the computer has more than 4 GB of memory.

[12:59] Dvyjones, intel anything is a safe bet [12:59] wydd -- go into the NetworkManager settings and click the System Setting box for the interface that you want [13:00] Does anyone know what would cause compiz to try to trigger the Software Rasterizer - or what that even means?

[13:02] markginter24: "system settings" should be on or off? [13:02] ramiro - again, pulling this from memory - but it seems to me the problem centered around how aggressive the 'power savings' were especially for laptops - thus it would cycle down and up too often. It was fixed. [13:02] Hi all [13:02] while doing ./configure, i get that of the package requirements, "No package 'gconf-2.0' found" was the one not met [13:02] wydd -- I assume that System Settings should be checked and that would cause it to 'come up' when the machine does. If not then it would seem to be a bug. [13:02] Hi all [13:02] Kanzar: for a gconf-something-dev package.

[13:20] is PAE enabled in 8.10 desktop? [13:20] bakarat: no [13:21] jrib: hmm, is it better to custom build a kernel or use 64 bit version? [13:21] whats the module-assistant?

[13:22] I have kind of a long question here, I have two hd's 250gb and 1tb my system was installed on 250gb/sda I later added 1tb/sdb I formatted the entire sdb as the primary partition and only have the base partitions on sda.... [13:22] bakarat: not really.

[13:23] Greencoat1982: should be. [13:23] In fact i wanna write the ubuntu linux device drivers [13:23] language c\c++ [13:23] i am trying to watch a video from the internet which is wmv but its not opening in mozilla [13:23] but i don't know how to compile the device drivers [13:23] Greencoat1982: however, you'll need to use the "archive" switch of cp so you don't mess up permissions [13:24] ok is that as simple as literaly copying and pasting sda into a file on sdb [13:24] i create device driver for windows platforms [13:24] what should I do to compile linux device drivers [13:24] but for linux i'm learning [13:24] Greencoat1982: what, the dev file? [13:24] Greencoat1982: not quite. [13:24] make: Nothing to be done for `Makefile'. [13:24] whats wrong with my ubuntu [13:24] I don't want to lose my customizations and such [13:24] can i put /boot on software raid? [13:25] Greencoat1982: you could just back up your home dir, /etc, and reinstall [13:25] I basically don't want to have to redownload any dependencies again [13:25] h [13:25] are there some one write the linux device driver [13:26] Greencoat1982: is there anything that prevents you from just resizing the partitions? [13:26] so etc is all I need to keep my libaries, personal settings and such? [13:26] people there are almost all ask question [13:26] yes everytime I try it with Gparted it just spins and spins but nothing ever happens [13:26] Greencoat1982: not quite. [13:26] Greencoat1982: booted from a livecd? [13:26] you could also backup list of all installed packages so you can reinstall those [13:27] Greencoat1982: also, gparted will take a *long* time, depending on the size of the volume. be patient. [13:27] dpkg --get-selections [13:27] no it keeps giving me an error, is there a minimal boot cd with just what I need to boot from it and use gparted or some partitioner? [13:27] savaihd [13:27] Greencoat1982: the live cd will work [13:28] Greencoat1982: just make sure none of the drives you're trying to edit are mounted. [13:28] i have problem in gparted to delete a partition: [13:28] Please unmount any logical partitions having a number higher than 6 [13:28] and back up your data .p [13:28] I printed something and it didn't print letter "u" [13:28] ok so having orginally formatted sdb as only one partition, can I resize it? [13:28] #ubuntu-cn [13:29] Greencoat1982: probably. [13:29] Greencoat1982: depends on the filesystem [13:29] ext3 [13:29] yeah, that can be shrunk [13:30] why do you want to repartition? [13:30] how can i have a partition mounted somewhere, and at the same time have a *directory* inside that partition "mounted" somewhere else? [13:30] I know I'll catch flac for this, but I want to put a windows partition on for a bit so I can update my zune [13:31] hmm [13:31] I have Virtualbox buts its giving me hell right now, so its actually simpler to just go through this to add the partition [13:31] hoi [13:31] tried with wine? :P [13:31] but I only need it temporarilyas after this update I can do everything I need wirelessly [13:32] yes wine doesn't give the program the right handshake [13:32] :/ [13:32] hmm perhaps a windows live cd exists? [13:32] nah [13:32] why does my xorg.conf look funny on a new install? [13:32] it looks nearly empty [13:32] no way that config could work... [13:32] shadewind -- welcome to the next generation of X [13:32] shadewind: it's supposed to be empty [13:32] explain [13:33] shadewind: x.org will autodetect as much as it can [13:33] shadewind: usually, that is enough [13:33] this is not Ubuntu specific I guess? [13:33] nope [13:33] for the livecd and gparted, do I let it boot all the way up [13:33] so if I did the same on openSUSE, it would probably work too? [13:33] shadewind, thats the new - auto-configuraing Xorg features kicking in [13:33] shadewind: unless you want to expand the size of your desktop and keep compiz running and you set the virtual line in the xorg.conf file and it craps out -- like is happening to me... [13:33] Greencoat1982: yeah [13:34] shadewind: as long as opensuse uses a new enough X [13:34] and can I copy my home file to sdb from there as well [13:34] Chousuke: I see [13:34] shadewind -- opensuse still uses yast to set the xorg.conf file and fills it up waaay more (if I recall correctly) [13:34] Greencoat1982: you could but you'd need to mount sda and sdb [13:34] markginter24: it does [13:35] shadewind: a lot of work has gone into autodetection lately :) [13:35] I can still unmount them right [13:35] Greencoat1982: sure. [13:35] hi, guys. anyone succeeded in connecting target embedded board in ubuntu via serial port? [13:35] Chousuke: I can see that [13:35] Greencoat1982: any reason you can't install windows on sdb though? [13:35] and what file level did I need to copy at? / or /home /dev, etc. [13:36] Chousuke: I like Ubuntu sort of... but I miss the configurability of openSUSE [13:36] Greencoat1982, you are you are not using /dev/sdb when you should be using /dev/sdb1 to mount the thing? [13:36] god mornin' [13:36] shadewind: I dunno about opensuse but ubuntu is plenty configurable :) [13:36] I'm trying to but i won't let me resize it with gparted as of yet, but I still have tried to resize it with the livecd [13:36] Chousuke: I'd prefer not have to open a terminal [13:36] will ubuntu 8.10 server install on a 128mb pc ? [13:37] I'm going to go hunt me down another copy and try that next [13:37] jae686: yes 128mb ram will do, but more is better [13:37] jae686: thought min was 256 [13:37] jae686: oh, maybe not for server [13:37] i'v installed on a 128mb vmware [13:38] hummm i have a duron 800 with 128 ram and i want to make a file and a printer server out of it [13:38] jae686: should be fine [13:38] just skip gnome, and ise xfce if you need X [13:38] 128 ram to make a file server??damn [13:38] or other minimal manager [13:38] 8.10: monitor login is at correct resolution but once I log in the resolution goes to 1024x768. nvidia card. xorg.conf created by nvidia config tool. target resolution 1440x900 [13:39] 128 RAM is low for anything nowadays [13:39] I have just downloaded Blender x86_64 (the latest version available). Where should I extract the contents of the file? [13:39] Chousuke: it will run but not fast/good [13:39] not because stuff can't run, but because it makes no sense to use such a machine for anythign. [13:39] i dont think it will support mooore then 3 using copying a file with 128 [13:39] can i put /boot on software raid or will this cause problems? [13:40] how bout ifyou put 1024 of swap..how will tat perform [13:40] bakarat: it will work, but you will need to use LILO as your boot loader [13:40] darkdeeper: swap doesn't help [13:40] bakarat: i think there is a guide someware to run system on nvraid [13:40] Chousuke: though it seems that the autoconfig stuff totally breaks evertyhing with proprietary drivers [13:40] darkdeeper: swap is a rescue mechanism when you run out of RAM [13:40] shadewind: well, that's too bad. [13:41] shadewind: I don't care for the proprietary stuff myself [13:41] Frogzoo: DeVnOrE hmm supposing i wish to keep the default install as much as possible (so grub), do i only need to put /boot outside the raid or is there another critical folder? [13:41] Chousuke: okay. I prefer drivers that work. [13:41] shadewind: yeah, so do I [13:41] Chousuke, yeah do dont think 128 will perform much.would make ur head ace like crazy tats one thing for sure [13:41] make: Nothing to be done for `Makefile'. [13:41] bakarat: google for docs that will explain it better than I [13:41] 'lo [13:41] whats problem with my make [13:42] need some help [13:42] Frogzoo: ok :> [13:42] I wanna compile linux kernel module === j is now known as Guest4946 [13:42] i think all the conf of the raid willend up in initram so think only boot need to be outside [13:42] I am trying to use alsa without pulseaudio in 8.10 but i am having a problem. alsamixer cannot open the device even though it displays properly in /proc/asound/cards. the modules seems to be loaded. any suggestions?

[13:49] dr_willis: ok :> [13:49] rjune_ can talk private ? [13:49] bakarat, locally installed stuff might go to /usr/local/etc [13:49] if you like [13:49] dr_willis: ah, did not know that [13:49] tdawgedogg: you need a dns to resolv the adresses and the linksys acts like a dns-relay [13:49] what is a good applicatiojn to record my desktop? [13:49] dr_willis: well my current system has a crapload of stuff installed and /usr/local/etc is empty :D [13:49] tdawgedogg: No. When you configured your static IP you needed to provide the IP address, network mask and a gateway address. The gateway is your Linksys, it is where all non-local domain IP requests get routed to [13:49] dr_willis: so should be fine for my needs :> [13:49] what does the file fixdep.c used to ?

[13:50] tdawgedogg: hold on - do you have your linksys on one network and your PC's on another? [13:50] what is the easiest way to monitor software raid and exchange a harddrive if necessary? [13:50] tdawgedogg: or you can configure your linksys to auto-set your box to a specificip "dhcp-static" so to speak [13:50] odd, the alt install cd does not find the cd-rom ? [13:50] update: Sound only works with OSS backend... esd, pulseaudio, and ALSA give static noise [13:51] tdawgedogg: then the settings of dns and GW and ip will be dynamic but static at the same time..

I currently run OS X 10.5 and I am complete novice when it comes to dual boot (aside from using VMWare fusion) and I was wondering whether you could add a boot of Ubuntu 8.1 without having to reinstall OS X? [14:01] donald, use it with a frontend like avidemux [14:01] DIFH-iceroot: according to http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?suite=all&searchon=names&keywords=adobe-flash the package does not exist [14:01] !ffmped [14:01] Sorry, I don't know anything about ffmped [14:01] !ffmpeg [14:01] Sorry, I don't know anything about ffmpeg [14:01] eh [14:02] jim_p: avidemux can't do flash [14:02] JeffAndersen, is it a ppc based mac or an intel one [14:02] intel [14:02] ziroday, true [14:02] i'm no good in ubuntu, you'll have to explain [14:02] ciao ci sn italiani?

[14:02] donald, use mediacoder with wine then :P [14:02] jim_p: I have the ubuntu CD done up for 8.1 (intel version) but I just don't want to install to find out I've overwritten my OS X install [14:03] ziroday: no [14:03] hello everybody, i installed (X)ubuntu intrepid on a fujitsu lifebook. i had feisty fawn bbefore without any problems. though i installed from cdrom, after booting into the system there is no cdrom drive found. there is not even a /de/cdrom. what now? [14:03] JeffAndersen, do you have a spare partition? [14:03] Stalker72: then how can you fix flash sound if you don't have flash working? [14:03] ziroday: I can maybe watch 1 out of 100 Flash movies..

[14:03] savvas: i've used gtk-dektop record to record my desktop, it's recorded it as .ogg and i would like to convert it to a youtube compatible format [14:03] Stalker72: but not youtube.com?

[14:04] JeffAndersen, dunno about bootcamp. grub will do it for sure :P [14:04] jim_p: http://paste.ubuntu.com/75621/ [14:04] hmm, i'm currently undecisive between ubuntu + raid (slightly harder to set up/control and still possibility of errors) or openbsd/opensolaris + zfs [14:04] any suggestions? [14:04] damaltor-> there would be no /dev/cdrom [14:04] Stalker72: okay, well I would make sure flash is working before I try to get sound working on it [14:04] damaltor-> there would be no /de/cdrom per your typo? [14:04] kitply, can i pm you the lines to add? [14:04] Stalker72: plus that guide is for dapper and is out of date [14:05] jim_p: ya sure [14:05] would a simple name change do the trick to make it compatible? [14:05] donald: http://lampcomputing.com/node/27 [14:05] n8tuser: well, of course i mean /dev/cdrom. as far as i remeber, i had the crom at /dev/hdc in feisty [14:05] donald: nope [14:05] damaltor: sudo lshw | less and search for cdrom using / [14:05] 3. Songbird error: (Resource Error) A resource error occurred: Could not open audio device for playback. You don't have permission to open the device.

My mouse keeps snapping back to the center of the screen its very irritating. It seems to do so at random too. [14:06] xRaich[o]2x: haha :> [14:07] any non-biased views? :D === Guest63262 is now known as tarantos [14:07] damaltor-> could it been named /dev/dvdrom ? [14:07] hi, I just get static noise on my speakers after a recent unclean shutdown, with the live cd everything plays fine, any hints ? [14:07] ziroday: I know, but I wanted to try :P [14:07] JeffAndersen, when you install ubuntu in that spare partition, you will also install grub. it will auto install itself. [14:07] I was upgrading from 8.04 to 8.10 but in the middle of the installation ubuntu froze and i had to force a restart with the power button. Now the latest kernel says kernel panic and when i boot the old kernel it tells me the display can't be detected and it doesn't respond to my mouse and keyboard [14:08] 2.

[14:08] Hey! Xorg crashed on my box, can't do anything anymore but logged in via ssh, how can I kill Xorg from ssh? kill [PID] does not work. It uses 100% CPU, too. [14:08] Stalker72: you should try use a livecd and see if your problems still occur there [14:08] jim_p: And grub is to assist with? [14:08] n8tuser: it could. never thought about that. maybe /dev/cdrecord would be ok too. just a sec, booting thatr system [14:08] can i fix it or do i have to reinstall [14:08] /dev/cdrom /dev/cdrw /dev/dvd /dev/dvdrw /dev/scd0 are my names on my dvd [14:08] DeVnOrE: OK GONNA CHEACK TAHT [14:08] Lynx: did you try kill -9 [14:08] ziroday: When I did the steps listed on the website I linked to, it started to remove lots of stuff... [14:08] JeffAndersen, is the thing that allows you to select between the oses. what to boot [14:08] DeVnOrE: sry for caps [14:09] bakarat: i'm not biased ;) i've used linux for over a decade :P [14:09] ziroday: just did, does not work [14:09] JeffAndersen, i dont know if bootcamp is that advanced to handle a linux boot partition [14:09] damaltor-> curious as to what you got in /sys/block [14:09] Lynx: /etc/init.d/gdm stop|restart|start [14:09] jim_p: thanks, so how can I check for sure if I have a partition setup? [14:09] ziroday: ah wait, it has a new pid now... [14:09] Stalker72: exactly, for sound issues with flash you should install the flashplugin-nonfree-extrasound [14:09] kitply, did you get my pm? [14:09] I deleted the botto, gnome-panel. How to get it back? [14:10] Lynx-> wait a sec, i have a solution [14:10] jim_p: could you tell " can i pm " means [14:10] JeffAndersen, i think fdisk -l also works in macs [14:10] kitply, send you a priivate message [14:10] n8tuser, DeVnOrE : none of the device names there. trying lshw now [14:10] Lynx-> do this sudo echo 1 > /proc/sys/kernel/sysrq [14:10] thanks all, but now the ssh session is also frozen and i can't log on anymore... [14:10] ziroday: I tried sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree-extrasound, but it says that it's not available. [14:10] Lynx, maybe you should try 'kill gdm' [14:11] Stalker72: and you are using intrepid? [14:11] what is the easyest way to show what incoming internet connections i have ie ssh [14:11] I deleted the botto, gnome-panel. How to get it back? [14:11] Lynx-> sudo echo b > /proc/sysrq-trigger [14:11] ziroday: yeah [14:11] JeffAndersen: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBook#Basic%20instructions Basically, use bootcamp assistant to create a partition. Then in the ubuntu installer, delete the partition it created and create a / and swap [14:11] Stalker72: what does lsb_release -a say? [14:11] anyone managed to get VMWare Server compiled on 8.10 with an AMD 64 bit system? [14:11] I deleted the bottom, gnome-panel. How to get it back? [14:11] Bast: yes === maxbaldwin is now known as Q-Bot [14:12] NicEXE: right click on your existing panel -> create new panel [14:12] vallhalla81-> netstat -rn or look in the iptables -vL if you have a firewall? [14:12] n8tuser: thanks, i'll note it for next time [14:12] ziroday: "No LSB modules are available...Distributor ID: Ubuntu...Description: Ubuntu 8.10...Release: 8.10...Codename: intrepid" [14:12] Bast: you got build-essential installed? [14:12] Lynx-> that recovered or not? [14:12] Bast: and linux-headers [14:12] n8tuser, DeVnOrE : nothing with cdrom in lshw. in /sys/block there is only loop#, ram#, and sda wich is the hdd [14:12] n8tuser: before i could try the ssh session froze [14:13] DeVnOrE: checking now ... [14:13] ziroday: I could reinstall Ubuntu though. [14:13] n8tuser: had to do a hard reset (again). every year i try linux, and it looks really great, and then i give up after 2 days of problems and go back to windows ;( [14:13] Lynx-> oh okay, once the ssh session, freezed you can not access that no more, other than flipping the on/off switch [14:13] Stalker72: okay, and you it says that it can't find that package [14:13] jrib: yeah, I was trying to follow those, but being completely new to dual booting / and even linux, I was scared I would overwrite my current OS X install while setting up the manual partition === Q-Bot is now known as maxbaldwin [14:13] ziroday: yeah [14:13] damaltor: then it could be that the IDE controller differs from the hdd and is not recogniced or something [14:13] jim_p: http://andersenjeff.com/u/6dcf6e20f7d598d1bdede4011865579b.png Guess it didn't give the info that would have been expected [14:14] Stalker72: okay...you can try switching repos but it sounds like your system is completely messed up [14:14] damaltor-> and which one should your cdrom be? sdb ? sdc ? [14:14] DeVnOrE: but i installed from disk.. and it worked with feisty... :( [14:14] ziroday: Yeah.. I've had many problems with my USB speakers.. [14:14] ziroday: ..and Flash [14:14] n8tuser: i think it was hdc in feisty, so sdc [14:14] ahh.. [14:14] JeffAndersen: fdisk is different on OSX. The guide is pretty easy to follow, just make sure you don't tell the installer to delete your OSX partition and you'll be fine. And I definitely recommend rEFIt [14:14] JeffAndersen, its fdisk -d then [14:15] ziroday: Should I try Linux Mint or something else? [14:15] ziroday: Linux Ultimate Edition? [14:15] Hello there does anybody help me with debian problem? [14:15] Stalker72: I would recommend no, but then again thats up to you [14:15] alex_111: /join #debian [14:15] damaltor-> look or browse around /etc/udev/rules.d for settings of this..look at each file using grep [14:15] i am having some issues with policykit [14:15] i ca log into system [14:16] jrib: so rEFit should be installed pre-attempt of the linux install [14:16] n8tuser: ok will try [14:16] make changes via synaptic [14:16] ziroday: A re-installation could be worth trying.. [14:16] Stalker72: of course you wont recieve support for those derivatives here either [14:16] JeffAndersen: yeah [14:16] i have some issues with policykit [14:16] i can log into the system /make changes via synaptics [14:17] but when i try to make administrative changes to system which make use of policykit it is unable to accept my password [14:17] ziroday: Why isn't there system restore in Ubuntu? [14:17] Hello, i need a Microsoft Media Server (MMS) protocol source plugin. What should i install? Thnx in advance [14:17] Stalker72: because there isn't. That feature has not been put in [14:18] ziroday: Are they developing it or is it still unknown? [14:18] n8tuser: there is nothing to find.. there is a cdrom rules set, but no way to find out how to use it [14:18] hi [14:19] hey guys does tar preserve directory permissions and ownership with a standard tar -cvf [14:19] DeVnOrE: Still fails in compile of vsock [14:19] glacius, yes [14:19] Stalker72: I don't believe that is currently on the roadmap, however nothing is really until after UDS. You can vote/create the idea on brainstorm.ubuntu.com [14:19] ziroday: Yeah.. [14:19] hi, my gdm keeps reloading in infinite loop, can't get logged in. auth.log says: gdm[5615]: pam_nologin(gdm:auth): cannot determine username [14:19] any ideas pls?

Symbols are undefined. Want the whole list? I have checked the the kernel headers match the runnig kernel [14:20] kill the x server necra and try to login on the bash prompt [14:20] then type start x [14:20] glacius-> you can try with a small directory and see for yourself [14:20] dennis_, i did [14:20] Bast: use pastbin and give link [14:20] xukun, what is your video card? [14:20] ziroday: Should I install ubuntu-restricted-extras or manually install Java, Flash, GStreamer plug-ins, etc.? [14:20] it keeps reloading my X too [14:20] i am using xchat how can i see the userlist of the channel ? [14:20] flashing the gnome toolbars [14:21] Stalker72: ubuntu-restricted-extra's is merely a meta package for all those individual package. Both ways are fine [14:21] Stalker72, there is no difference, it's your choice [14:21] not good necra, not good.... [14:21] Necra-> you can use the console ctrl+alt+F1 to F6 and troubleshoot from there [14:21] what package shall I install to get OpenGL library for C?

[14:38] Loq565: hardy is LTS though [14:38] exodus_ms: if you're a hardcore gamer or use things spefically made for windows then use window$... if you want a great linux distro use ubuntu 8.04 [14:38] <_ViTiNhOw_> alguém do Brasil? [14:38] DeVnOrE: I've dug into that a bit, but it seems rather involved. [14:38] jrib: What is LTS ? [14:38] Loq565: see what ubottu said [14:38] bziobnic: there is a app to automate it but i don't remember the name [14:38] i'll check [14:38] ok [14:39] exodus_ms: FYI virtual box runs very sweet on ubuntu and is easy to set up... so you can still have windows [14:39] what is meant with architecture in the reposdescriptions?

[14:52] untermensch_: with grub boot or something [14:53] Rob1: I've never had a problem with that. [14:53] untermensch_: ok :) [14:53] If it's anything that Ubuntu makes simple (In my opinion) It's setting up the GRUB, and making a good working install. [14:53] issyl0-> yes it is brown hue [14:53] And so, after seeing that and thinking something strange was going on, I switched my computer off. I was probably stupid to do so, but I thought something was up. I'll probably try to re-install later if I get time. === spree is now known as sapzter [14:53] n8tuser, thanks.

[14:55] dr_willis: but that was IE 6 [14:55] Rob1: I'm pretty confident you can run IE in Wine. Even the newer versions [14:55] why the need for ie explorer anyway? [14:55] Rob1, so :) its also suggested to use it JUST to 'test' pages.. not to be used as a normal browser.. of course I follow that advice for IE under widnowz also.. [14:56] kdogg: to test other browsers for web design [14:56] Rob1, http://www.tatanka.com.br/ies4linux/page/Main_Page [14:56] ahh [14:56] internet explorer 6 is the last that runs properly with wine. 7 is so and so and 8 is total garbage [14:56] kdogg, aparently some Web Devs like to test sites in IE.. but MS devs apranetly dont bother to test Their sites in FF/Opera :) === mib_fwj5bh5o is now known as dig [14:56] milk: thanks [14:56] LjL: will check it out thanks [14:56] dig: you can't change nickname when from mibbit. please leave and rejoin [14:56] hi all! apt-get updates ignores several repos in my sources.list-what might be the prob?

Mine isn't working [16:29] and also your windows box might have Power Management options that enable for the PC to turn off your NIC wheter it be cable or wifi [16:30] that can mess with things sometimes [16:30] its completed lots of times, it just started doing this. sometimes it still finsihes, most of the time it doesnt' [16:30] So... how to install an older version of nm-applet?

[16:31] can I do a force thing on the command line? [16:31] maybe i should be in #linux instead? [16:31] chazco, use the command line [16:31] yeah but when you got to Device Manager and go to your NIC and go to advanced tab on the properties sheet there are option for the PC to be able to turn off the NIC and it does it and the most idiotic times like in the middle of what you are doing...

[16:43] you would need an SFTP server on wherever you are getting the file from [16:43] wmv [16:44] shrek_donkey: Maybe torrentflux? www.torrentflux.com, its a web based torrent client [16:44] well this script is running on my linux box that has the files its zipping on the local filesystem [16:44] then its dumping them to a mounted sambaa share [16:44] erUSUL: it is /dev/video0 [16:44] bazhang - lshw says its a 3945ABG [16:44] can i ftp from the local file system to the mounted share i mean [16:44] im running ftp server on the linux box [16:44] obv [16:44] and then linux can ftp to it... but I would suggest using FileZilla from Mozilla to download from SFTP/FTP.... sudo apt-get install filezilla [16:45] mudit: and cheese (or other programs) does not recognice the webcam? [16:45] how do i watch a wmv video directly streamed in the site [16:45] so i can take a linux client and connect to the ftp and then dup what i ftp to the local filesystem (mounted samba share) [16:45] dup = dump [16:45] erUSUL: only cheese would recognize not others [16:45] datta, it works here; did you install all the codecs? === calum is now known as calum`` [16:45] depends on how you set it up and if you allow admin login to ftp i guess [16:46] hi [16:46] wat codecs do i need?

[16:46] whats a good command line ftp client for linux/ubuntu?

[16:47] i have the ubuntu restriced extras installed [16:47] well the client can connect to my ftp server on one end which has my files i need to zip and can save the files to the local file system where i can access the mounted share [16:47] GeminiK: hmm. that's bad. do you have the package "ubuntu-desktop" installed? (you can check with "apt-cache policy ubuntu-desktop") [16:47] so it will work im pretty sure [16:48] sudobash: im doing all this in a script if you didn't see my pastie [16:48] datta, then get w32codecs from medibuntu.org [16:48] this is an automated backup script for my mysql databases and my web dir [16:48] cool hope it works out... [16:48] did the new ubuntu change ldap around [16:48] this is a developement machine [16:48] LjL: yes I do and creating adduser didn't work, It has to do with a problem that happened with that program (hopefully), [16:48] !enter [16:48] Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation!

(i couldn't find it in the repos) [16:49] LjL: another clue is that GDM is not on its theme, its ubuntu, so maybe how could I change GDM theme from terminal? [16:49] oh thats nothing... [16:50] how would I get a windows like alt ctrl del menu, where I can kill misbehaving programs? [16:50] if it didn't have to be secure you could do it over http quickly [16:50] pim_: ctrl+esc [16:50] no, they're small [16:50] LjL: dounloaded it from gnome look, worked flawlessly to install theme icons an other stuff, but something messed up when I was logged in another user and ran the prog [16:50] LjL that doesn't seem to be working I'm on 8.10 [16:51] it might work better over http for your script then ftp [16:51] i guess it depends if it needs to be secured access [16:51] Hi. Since Intrepid I can't open links from Gnome Terminal anymore. Right clicking it and choosen "Open Link" has no result whatsoever... Is this a setting? [16:51] and how much you want to get into it...

[16:54] sken: hit F11 [16:54] hey all [16:54] sken: that toggles fullscreen mode [16:54] Hi folks: is there a problem with the latest updates to firefox? None of the UI elements are "talking" to the browser - if I type in URL, nothing happens. However, I can open bookmarks and click my way around. I can open tabs and close them, but not switch between them. I'm running Ibex with Compiz Fusion, but they haven't caused problems in the past; just immediately after this latest update. [16:54] screw samba... http is the way to go with that if samba is going to be intermittent [16:55] can you elaborate on how i would go about making the transfer with http?

Haven't tried restarting X yet, though [16:56] does ubuntu allow direct streaming from websites? [16:56] poopuser: lspci, lsusb, lshw run them with sudo, you can also add the -v option to them to get even more info [16:56] like jumptv? [16:56] poopuser: lshw and lshw-gtk [16:56] GeminiK: yes, that's what it does [16:56] hello [16:56] my name is tuan [16:57] aoupi this is happening constantly [16:57] GeminiK: in the meanwhile, if you want to try running that program again, try typing "shi" and then hitting TAB... if its name really begins with "shi", it should auto-complete [16:57] i like make friends [16:57] GeminiK: (you can do that in another terminal in ctrl+alt+f2) [16:57] !offtopic | ubuntu [16:57] sken: does it go into fullcreen mode without you hiting F11?

I had to kill a leftover process from before the update for some reason. Gah. [16:59] LjL: maybe it wasnt a deb [16:59] <[SWE]Westburp> Why can't I open a whole catalog with music in mplayer from the terminal? [17:00] GeminiK: whether or not it was a .deb doesn't matter to autocomplete [17:00] does anybody know why firefox goes automatically in full display? [17:00] does anybody know how i can make firefox look nicer? webcontrols suck [17:00] !tell goobsoft about Hi [17:00] goobsoft, please see my private message [17:00] <[SWE]Westburp> joachimATjku: you can just go to www.mozilla.com and find THEMES :P [17:00] LjL: it doesn't seem to want to autocomplete, tab right? [17:01] joachimATjku: there are tons of themes on mozilla.com [17:01] GeminiK: maybe you used something called "colorize-something"? [17:01] do themes have influence on webcontrols ? [17:01] (tickboxes, textinput fields) [17:01] does the file search actually work? i can never find something? [17:01] ...

[17:02] strav: if you just burnt the iso normaly it should be bootable, no extra steps required [17:02] sken, no, but you can press alt-f11 i think [17:02] GeminiK: is debsums saying anything about some files that look theme-related?

Using ubunta [17:53] GeminiK: oh, darn... then it just prints everything to stderr instead of stdout [17:53] LjL: I do have the mouse in terminal though [17:53] GeminiK: well can you just look at the output now [17:54] vin [17:54] GeminiK: (if you want to run it again, "sudo debsums 2>&1 | pastebinit" should work...) [17:54] GeminiK: (if you want to run it again, "sudo debsums -s 2>&1 | pastebinit" should work...) [17:54] i might get it right at some point. [17:54] Hey all, anyone know why Nautilus has been using large amounts of RAM (8% of my 2GB) [17:54] LjL, ok ill give it a shot [17:54] LjL & ubottu, I am not sure if it is a bug. But will go ahead and file a bug [17:55] GeminiK: while you run it, i'm out to buy cigarettes... be back in a couple of minutes [17:55] need command in vi: show me words which begins or ends with an e or an i [17:55] What difference will it make if I change the resolution in /etc/upsplash.conf from 800x600 to 1024x768? Is this only for the splash screen or does it effect other areas in the system? [17:55] LjL, lol k [17:56] can someone help me start the program bittornado [17:56] I am feeling 8.10 is bit slow than 8.04. is anyone else also experiencing it? [17:56] meh [17:56] is there any way to get the function keys on a microsoft keyboard to work on ubuntu ? [17:56] jagadeesh_: for mi intrepid is a little bit faster [17:56] Hi! I'm grinding my teeth about this really weird issue. I am trying to install Ubuntu on my brothers computer(A Packard Bell *sigh*) but it refuses to boot the install(or the livecd). And when I tried booting an XP-disc it too failed, blurting out a bluescreen and telling me about some sort of virus. Any ideas? [17:57] did you set the boot order [17:57] jagadeesh that's the problem with software growing up, it gets longer, more lines of code, more to process for more features to work [17:57] shrek_donkey: in terminal the bittornado starts with letters bt, then tab complete see the different ones [17:57] Uhm, yeah, it's (1)dvd (2)hdd [17:57] lspci says my intel centrino based laptop hp nc6220 using 2200BG intel pro wireless.. how do I upgrade it to use 5200BG ? [17:57] david_ could be hardware malfunction , bad ram, bad cpu, bad power supply even, etc [17:57] david_, what happens when you load a LiveCD? [17:58] I removed the quiet-splash and observed, it says: ata3(and 1): Failed to IDENTIFY(I/O Error err_mask 0x4) [17:58] OxDeadC0de, good point. [17:58] regardless of which method I chose [17:58] can someone help me i just installed ubuntu 8.10 i was using 8.04 before and the ldap server is complety different from 8.04 [17:59] anyone know why ffmpeg: unrecognized option '-me' ? [17:59] david_ looks like a hard drive error I/O thats just my guess :\ [18:00] that's so odd, Vista runs smoothly and there's no issues [18:00] :( [18:00] david_ try using a different hard drive, see if you get the same errors [18:00] david_ hopefully it's just the hard drive and not the controller [18:00] SuperNick: because it's not a valid option? [18:00] OxDeadC0de, is that his error, I took a pure guess [18:00] could it matter that we're trying the 32bit-version of ubuntu? [18:00] it's an amd phenom 64 [18:01] hmm. I chatting with my brother to help him load ubuntu's 8.04 livecd on his powerbook g4 ppc using this image: http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ports/releases/hardy/release/ubuntu-8.04.1-desktop-powerpc.iso. He says he burned it the same way he always does for bootable disk images, press C continuously while booting and get an "not a bootable disk" message or something similar. Any suggestions? (note that I also checked the md5 checksum for the downloaded iso, [18:01] it all seems fine) [18:01] chris4585 looks like it to me too but I can't say for sure [18:01] david_ you should be able to use a 32bit OS on a 64bit cpu, I do [18:01] ok [18:01] hi whatis the menning of this whois www.mystory.com [18:01] Hey. I just upgraded from 8.04 to 8.10. Got an Mobility Radeon HD 2600. Worked perfectly in 8.04 with fglrx driver. Now, after the update, X won't start with Driver "fglrx". Removing the Driver line (and thus using default nonaccelerated driver) works. I have restricted-modules and xorg-driver-fglrx installed. What could be the reason for it failing after the update? [18:01] it's a shame, a brand new computer with a broken hdd [18:01] in terminal [18:01] Hello, where is the mirror list file for the fucking apt-get shit ? [18:01] On booting I got a [fail] for fglrx module loading IIRC [18:02] !warranty [18:02] Sorry, I don't know anything about warranty [18:02] frando pastebin /var/log/Xorg.0.log after failed startup and xorg.conf [18:02] I just can't find it, because it's chaotical and moronic design [18:02] OxDeadC0de: I also read somewhere that MS and Packard does something to the discs in their computers, not allowing any other os than vista [18:02] but there's not enough information on that subject [18:02] !language | tmpnickname [18:02] tmpnickname: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [18:02] Fuck deb/*buntu $hit into ass ! [18:03] tmpnickname: software sources under the admin menu, I think. [18:03] david_ they could,.. but it sounds illegal to me, once you buy it it's your computer not theirs [18:03] 'make friends on Irc: FAIL!' [18:03] I'm looking to grant multiple users the right to write and delete files from a directory. Is it hard to do? [18:03] :) [18:03] Hello guys, Something weird happend, My graphics just broke down just like that. I've tried to reinstall the system 4 times now [18:03] GeminiK: i'm back, did you get that paste? [18:03] bert_, look up chown [18:03] got an nvidia 8800gts video card * [18:03] its something newbie question. How do I know to what port I have connected my cellphone. [18:03] OxDeadC0de: hw-failure just doesn't seem right, as I mentioned the XP-installer told me that it was trying to protect me from "a virus" [18:03] bert_, also look up chmod [18:03] wrah [18:03] I have connected it to USB [18:04] hi whatis the menning of this whoi www.mandriva.com [18:04] bert_, chown o=wr "file" [18:04] david_ do you have "virus protection" enabled in the bios? sometimes bios have options to keep the mbr from being overwritten and stuff like that [18:04] And we don't have a spare disc so that we can outrule hw-failure [18:04] chris4585: Thanks I'll look into them, do you have a good idiots guide to chown and shmod? [18:04] how do I find out what version ipw firmware I am using? [18:04] LIRC wont create /dev/input/lirc for some reason, cat /proc/bus/input/devices doesnt list my tv tuner either. This happened when i upgraded to 8.10, when i select older 8.04 kernel, lirc works fine. [18:04] and who i can use it??????????????????? [18:04] nothing interesting in dmesg either [18:04] OxDeadC0de: I've checked, there's no such option in the bios :S [18:04] LjL, still doesn't work gives me the same thing [18:04] islamux: man whois [18:04] LjL, Error no argument! [18:04] does anyon know if its possible to get gnome terminal to flash in the taskbar when hilighted in irssi? [18:04] hi whatis the menning of this whois www.mandriva.com and [18:05] bert_, google and in terminal "man chmod", "man chown" [18:05] GeminiK: but did you see any output from debsums this time?

[18:06] iwill try it [18:06] dmesg says ipw2200: Intel(R) PRO/Wireless 2200/2915 Network Driver, 1.2.2kmprq .. is that mean my firmware is 1.2.2 ? [18:06] GeminiK: alright... i'm sorry for wasting your time with all these attempts, i'm back to the previous suggestions - just look at the debsums output by hand and apt-get --reinstall install the culprits === DiEGO is now known as Guest19013 [18:06] I installed ubuntu 8.10 [18:06] when I login I just get the background screen ??

In .xsession-errors, I then see that it "extracted intrepid.tar.gz" and that it then would "authenticate the tarball against the gpg sig' [18:07] but then it just exits with $?=0 [18:07] what gives?

[18:14] HCM582: well it sounds like xorg is starting OK. maybe try installing xfce4 maybe [18:15] blackpearl: if it's unallocated space, then it's not a partition to begin with - it's space allocated to no partition.

[18:16] my webcam is supported by v4l2, but it wont work, with standard applications, only cheese supports it [18:16] LjL : it should be extended OR primary ?

Got a Mobility Radeon HD2600. Worked perfectly with fglrx proprietary driver in 8.04. Now after the update X won't start with Driver "fglrx" in xorg.conf. With default drivers (no Driver line in xorg.conf) X starts without problems but no acceleration of course. I have restricted-modules and xorg-driver-fglrx installed. [18:17] I tried with lsusb, but no much help [18:17] Here's the log of a failed startup of X and the xorg.conf : http://pastebin.com/m32a5f5cc [18:17] Well, I opened a terminal, it was opened for about 3hours. In those 3 hours I surfed in the Inet. After that, I closed the terminal. But now, when I wanna open a program, it won't react. When I close now Pidgin, I will not be able to open it, coz it will not react. [18:17] When I push now the shutdown-button in the panel, Gnome will not react. Wenn I resstart X, gnome will will not react while it loads. When I wanna shutdown from GDM, The system is hanging up while the shutdown. [18:17] I have that problem only, if a TTY-Session is longer opened... [18:17] (Sry 4 my mistakes) [18:17] nothing12345: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [18:17] As I said, it worked perfectly before the update, so something during the update must have broken it. [18:18] Any ideas as to what could be the cause of X failing to startup with fglrx now? [18:18] hey [18:18] LjL : i mean if the alloacted space is on IDE Primary Slave ...should i make is Priamry Or Slave ? [18:19] frando looks like the kernel driver side of the fglrx module is missing and not creating /dev/dri/cardX [18:19] OxDeadC0de: So how can I install the missing part? [18:19] hey i need help [18:19] how can I install NFS into the Alternate CD? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallCDCustomization doesn't say anything about that. [18:19] Hello - is this the correct channel for ubuntu tech support? [18:19] on ubuntu memtest is installed but how you run it cause memtest in terminal didn't work anyone know? [18:19] after installation and configuration of denyhosts and fail2ban, do I have to add these somewhere to get them started automatically? [18:19] frando it's probably already there, you may need to modprobe something, also the BusID "PCI:1:0:0" line seems to be failing [18:20] anyone know why amarok doesn't sync album art? [18:20] i also have a tech suport [18:20] OxDeadC0de: Hrm, okay. What could I try to modprobe?

[18:31] Techarmy, If Odd-rationale stated your question properly.. then the answer to that is also on the Kubuntu Faq/Homepage last time i looked... [18:31] DasEi: i wonder why they cant call it something, and trhen stick with that instead of changing the name of that plugin for most dists [18:31] blackpearl, you need to partition/format/mount it same as you would a real hard drive on a real system. [18:31] dr_willis: we're too late... :P [18:31] Failed to fetch http://bg.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/m/mozplugger/mozplugger_1.10.2-2ubuntu1_i386.deb 404 Not Found [18:31] dr_willis : as i am getting exhausted with my IDE primary Master Virtual drive [18:31] Odd-rationale, :) i guess 'reading' is too hard.

[18:32] Odd-rationale: kde sucks doesnt it ? :) [18:32] sorry, where do i find the type-conv package? [18:32] Could anyone help me? I opened a terminal, it was opened for about 3hours. In those 3 hours I surfed in the Inet. After that, I closed the terminal. But now, when I wanna open a program, it won't react. When I close now Pidgin, I will not be able to open it, coz it will not react. When I push now the shutdown-button in the panel, Gnome will not react. Wenn I resstart X, gnome will will not react while it loads. When I wanna shutdown from GDM, The syst [18:32] any ideas on booting ubuntu 8.04 live cd from a freakin powerbook g4 ppc??? [18:32] Cool: depends who you ask... :P [18:32] is there a intrepid ubuntu channel [18:32] ? [18:33] Odd-rationale: yeah, i feel its a bit sucky :) [18:33] dr_willis : how to partition/format/mount ..i think this channel is their to guide layman like me. [18:33] roger74: youre in it... :D [18:33] roger74: this channel supports all ubuntu releases [18:33] !ppc | strav [18:33] strav: PowerPC. Formerly used by Apple for the Macintosh line of computers. Variants are now used in popular gaming consoles. PPC was a fully supported Ubuntu architecture up to and including edgy. It is now a community port, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PowerPCFAQ [18:33] ok :( then i will just repost my question again and hope for someone to awnser [18:33] looller: works now ? [18:33] blackpearl, its documented all voer the place... sudo fdisk, make partitions, mkfs.ext3 the partition, then edit fstab to mount whever you want.. (short form) :) [18:33] hello, i am very new to linux, and i would like some help with setting up my graphics card. my son wants to play openarena and a game or a mod for a game named "et". he told me he has them setup but they run very poorly. in windows these games worked very fine, and so i think they should work fine in linux too no? i am running a intel graphics card and th eintel driver [18:33] Cool: i was a very adamant kde user back in the 3.5.9 days... kde4 kinda turned me back to gtk/gnome [18:33] i have installed xmms2 , how to run it?

[18:33] hey does apt-get have a command to reisntall debs? [18:33] loller: works now ? [18:34] FAIL again after running update [18:34] richard_: check your Sound and Video menu [18:34] GeminiK: yup --reinstall [18:34] richard_, you need a front end to access the xmms2 backend. (and i dont use xmms2 - i dont need it) :) [18:34] roger74: what card is it ? [18:34] dr_willis : vbox has option to enlarge but its "dynamically grow" i.e. you have to allocated space for your virtual drive AND it will enlarge dynamically as you use. [18:34] Hrm. 'sudo modprobe fglrx' results in FATAL: Module fglrx not found. Even though xorg-driver-fglrx is installed... what could be the problem? [18:34] Cool: X3100 [18:34] people, does anybody know how to use HDMI on ubuntu 8.10? will I have to install any drivers or programs?

"sudo passwd ubuntu" [18:36] youknowme: because blank passwords aren't allowed to ssh by default. See what Odd-rationale said I guess [18:36] roger74: Ill install it on this and if you have time i can install it on the box with the intel card but thatll be a bit later. What happens when you run the game ? [18:36] strav: then state the exact problem you are having [18:36] dr_willis : as i written earlier you have to allocated space for your virtual drive , in my case i allocated space for my IDE Primary Master Virtual drive AND now that space is getting exhauted....i cannot enlarge .(dot)vdi byitself...

[18:38] dr_willis : my actual physical drive has space BUT my Virtial Master (boot) drive in Vbox is getting FULL [18:38] Cool: are you not running? or what do you mean? [18:38] RaverWild: apt-cache policy PACKAGE [18:38] I've got a mythbuntu box with a Samba share setup but when I try to copy files to the mythbuntu box via Samba I get this error message "Error "Access denied" while copying . I've checked and I have full ownership of the directory the files is being copied to. Also there is 44GB free on the drive so there is lots of space [18:38] !apt > RaverWild [18:38] RaverWild, please see my private message [18:38] am i not running it in opengl mode? [18:38] if i installed a program (deluge) and want to make a new link to it, where would the icon for it be ? [18:39] what has to be entered into my fstab to get a smb share to appear as a folder in my home folder on my laptop like I setup up a 2nd hard drive in my home folder? [18:39] Hello.

[18:39] thanks [18:39] Cool: how do i check if i am running opengl or not [18:39] roger74: I will test it for you now [18:39] GeminiK: I'see, I'd do a sudo apt-get remove --purge then to delete, then install again on common way [18:39] Cool: thank you [18:39] !apt > kicco [18:39] kicco, please see my private message [18:39] roger74: glxgears [18:39] so i'm looking for a minimalistic window manager / desktop environment what do you guys suggest? [18:39] Ah yes thank you! The other computer has no mouse input, sudo passwd ubntu FTW! [18:39] Cool: glxgears is running but vERY slow [18:39] cr4z3d xfce, it is very minimalistic [18:39] 1340 frames in 5.1 seconds = 264.416 FPS [18:39] Xpistos: file -> connect to server should be enough. But see: [18:39] dr_willis : OK ..tell me ...my primary IDE Slave virtual drive should be "primary" OR "Extended" [18:39] !samba > Xpistos [18:39] Xpistos, please see my private message [18:39] jrib, well it's rather difficult since I'm helping my brother on chat. Problem is: On powerbook g4 ppc, using the ppc livecd from ubuntu 8.04, while pressing C at boot and having made a checksum on the iso, my brother claims he got to a message saying the cd is not bootable. [18:40] DasEi: yea im doing that, but the system went along with them, reinstall would have been better :) [18:40] blackpearl, since its its own 'hard drive' i would make a single primary partition in it. [18:40] cr4z3d , gnome and kde can be pretty minimalistinc to if you cutomize them [18:40] i only have 272.559 FPS in glxgears, that cant be good [18:40] strav: are you sure he burned the iso for the ppc architecture? Not i386 or amd64? [18:40] certain. [18:40] roger74: Then its not getting enough hardware support from the driver. Have you updated ? [18:40] dr_willis : what are you talking about ??? [18:40] (and tried both intrepid and hardy) === Biolunar is now known as Bio|H2O [18:41] (from this location http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ports/releases/hardy/release/ubuntu-8.04.1-desktop-powerpc.iso) [18:41] roger74: run it from a terminal to see how many FPS you get [18:41] strav: and he burned the image to a disk? He didn't just burn the .iso as data on a disk? [18:41] dr_willis : i am now talking about ADDING virtual Slave drive in Vbox ...should i make it primary Or Entended ?? [18:41] Cool: 1360 frames in 5.1 seconds = 268.745 FPS [18:41] that is what glxgears says in the temr [18:41] term [18:41] really quick, does anybody know how to exit vim? [18:42] GeminiK: yes. [18:42] I suppose. This I can't verify but he says he used the same way as he did for burning a bootable windows cd. [18:42] roger74: Thats not very fast i think... [18:42] GeminiK: :q! will not save changes [18:42] I have problems with high usage of CPU by Xorg. Can I count on any help with solving this problem? I think its problem with nvidia drivers and 3d acceleration. [18:42] blackpearl, the luittle wizard i see to add a hd in virtualbox makes no mention of 'primary or extended' , when partitioning a disk you do have primary partitions and extended partitions - So ive no clue what you are refering to. [18:42] GeminiK: :wq will save and quit [18:42] Cool: glxgears does not look fast [18:42] Cool: very rigid graphics [18:42] jerky [18:42] jrib: Gnea: thank u :) [18:42] blackpearl, i just see primary master, or primary slave in the wizard [18:43] roger74 what videocard do you have? [18:43] jrib, I'll check for a command line that would explicitly set the burning to bootable image if possible. [18:43] roger74: The gears should spin hella fast if you have HW-accel [18:43] jrib: thanks I will check that out [18:43] dr_wills : i added IDE Primary Slave in Vbox using wizard...NOW how to use it ..using Ubuntu ??? [18:43] Cool: so explain to me why my graphics card is not working? i am running the intel driver, is htat not the correct driver? [18:43] Cool: how is yours running? [18:43] strav: if you're still stuck, try burning at 2x and asking #ubuntu-ppc [18:44] anyone know where i can get md5's of the latest releases on ubuntus website to compare it with a copy i have? [18:44] roger74, intel is not very fast indeed. over here i get 500fps on an intel card [18:44] has anyone used multisync with Sony Ericsson G700 [18:44] roger74: I have an nvidia card in this box and its as slow as yours. This feels like a bug [18:44] blackpearl, same as you would on a real machine.. the drive should appar as a unpartitioned hard drive on /dev/sd## which must be partioned then formated, then mounted. [18:44] !md5sums | Stranger02 [18:44] Stranger02: See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuHashes for the md5sums of Ubuntu discs. [18:44] Hi everyone - Does anybody here know anything about burning with K3b as I need some advice please!!! Thks in advance [18:44] !glxgears [18:44] To display the FPS in glxgears, run 'glxgears' in a terminal. [18:45] DavidCanarias: best to just ask the channel your question. If someone knows the answer, they will try to answer you [18:45] dr_willis : like you said earlier ...how can i partition/format/mount this Primary Slave ??? [18:45] thank you jrib [18:45] usser: it worked fine in windows [18:45] roger74, Cool glxgears cannot be used as a trusted benchmarking tool. results vary. [18:45] jrib: Hi, which channel? [18:45] usser: its not intel [18:45] blackpearl, i use the fdisk, command, and mkfs.ext3 command. You could use gparted if you wanted to.. edit /etc/fstab to set up a perment mount point [18:45] roger74, oh, what card is it then? [18:45] roger74: i will check the intel card on fedora now... brb [18:45] it is intel === tomaz is now known as HardPhuck [18:45] ok [18:46] jrib: Ah, ok you mean put the question to this channel. Thanks. [18:46] thank you [18:46] roger74, eh? [18:46] roger74, is it intel or not intel? [18:46] usser: i meant its not intels fault [18:46] blackpearl, 'sudo fdisk -l' should show a list of all seen drives [18:46] it works in windows [18:46] its not the card thats slow i mean [18:46] roger74, it works in linux too. can u pastebin the results of glxinfo? [18:46] how do i set applications to autostart? [18:46] roger74: i get 600 FPS there [18:46] 1360 frames in 5.1 seconds = 268.745 FPS [18:46] Hmm I'm trying to mount a ntfs drive but mount tells me it fails because the drive is marked to be in use. How would I get around this? [18:47] I am trying to burn an mp3 Data CD with K3b and one moment no problem, then the next up pops an error - cd record has no permission to open device. Any suggestions please anyone? [18:47] Cool: so its that low then [18:47] roger74 pastebin your xorg.conf (sudo apt-get install pastebinit; cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf | pastebinit ) [18:47] OxDeadC0de: ok [18:47] Can anyone suggest which repo to use for burning CD's that gives no problems [18:47] dr_willis: will i be able to use my Primary Slave with sudo fdisk -l ???? [18:47] has anyone used multisync with Sony Ericsson G700 [18:47] roger74: if you get that a result there must be some misconfiguration (mine was on fedora) [18:47] blackpearl, fdisk -l just Lists the seen drives on the system [18:48] http://pastebin.com/f37d4dac2 [18:48] OxDeadC0de: there you go [18:48] blackpearl, as far as ububntu sees theres now a new unpartitioned hard drive on the primary ide channel, slave connector.. should be /dev/sdb would be my guess [18:48] roger74: wow very large xorg.conf, did you upgrade from 8.04 ? [18:49] When running qmake how do I get the output (errors) to save to a txt file? [18:49] Who is responsible for planet.ubuntu.com? [18:49] roger74: Also try it with desktop effects disabled (also good when watching full hd movies) [18:49] OxDeadC0de: yes [18:49] dr_willis : Primary Slave is /dev/sdb [18:49] roger74: You can try: mv /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.backup, restart xorg, it will generate a new xorg.conf - then make sure you have "driver "intel"" in the right spot [18:50] Cool: they are disabled i cannot run them they are very slow [18:50] OxDeadC0de: ok i will restart X [18:50] dr_willis : sorry...prmary slave is /dec/hdb [18:50] OxDeadC0de: i did what you said [18:50] dr_willis : prmary slave is /dev/hdb [18:51] roger74: Then theres a bug with that intel card on ubuntu i think [18:51] blackpearl, well - with the new ata-lib stuff.. most all hard drives show up as sd## or at leat on all my machines they now do [18:51] i need help installing xubuntu [18:51] roger74: 9 mins til i can play openarena [18:51] cool: he'll be right back, he's restarting xog [18:51] xorg* [18:51] dr_willis : with the new ata-lib stuff...what is this ???? [18:51] it says error I/o on device sh0 sector some number [18:51] ok [18:51] Has anyone got lirc_i2c module working under 8.10?

[18:56] gnea: i gave you all the info [18:56] hi [18:56] wow floodbot got a little sensitive [18:56] blackpearl, i always use primary partitions. No need to use extended/logicals [18:56] Hey. I updated from hardy to intrepid, and now X refuses to start with Driver "fglrx". Worked perfectly in Hardy. Log and xorg.conf here: http://pastebin.com/m32a5f5cc . Did some more investigation - it seems that the fglrx kernel module is not installed for 2.6.27. 'find /lib -name fglrx' returns only /lib/linux-restricted-modules/2.6.24-21-generic/fglrx and nothing else. Why is that? I have linux-restricted-modules and xorg-driver-fglrx [18:56] dr_willis, Gnea: sorry [18:56] installed. [18:57] blackpearl, either way - it wont matter. one way it will be /dev/sdb1 other way it will be /dev/sdb5 [18:57] :) [18:57] LjL: np [18:57] Anyone an idea on what else I could do? Otherwise I'll have to go back to hardy, which would suck big time. [18:57] heh. [18:57] NOTICE - If you couldn't speak to the channel during the past minutes, please try again now. [18:57] nintendork32: again, details, please, otherwise we could be diagnosing the wrong problem. [18:57] 'modprobe fglrx' also fails with FATAL: Module fglrx not found [18:57] Gnea: like what details? [18:57] dr_willis : wait i'll be back with results after using sudo fdisk -l [18:58] Testing freespeech [18:58] nintendork32: where do you see the I/O error show up? [18:58] it works again! :) [18:58] is there any way to make the built in vnc client and server with 8.10 faster...i have a Gb network and the mouse still lags some [18:58] Gnea: after i highlighted "Install Xubuntu" and pressed enter [18:59] frando - try this: sudo apt-get install module-assistant build-essential fakeroot; sudo m-a a-i fglrx [18:59] shrek_donkey, reduce the # of colors.. disable all eye candy. disable wallpaper... [18:59] nintendork32: from what? the installation cd? [18:59] Gnea, yeah [18:59] dr_willis: where are those settings located i guess is my question [18:59] shrek_donkey, or use the standalone vnc server - but then you wont be seeing/shareing the current desktop [18:59] Gnea, not a live disk though, just installer [18:59] nintendork32: okay, are you typing on the same computer that you're trying to install it to? [18:59] Gnea, no [18:59] shrek_donkey, same as you would set them locally - some vnc-clients have otehr features/tweaks also... [19:00] nintendork32: I get the same I/O error from the alterrnate disk, and it still works fine [19:00] shrek_donkey, be sure to disable compiz also [19:00] Anybody have any ideas what I should do about my computer crashes? [19:00] Hio. I'm trying to play music on a Ubuntu machine remotely (via command-line mplayer over ssh), but I get the following error whenever I try to run it: "AO: [pulse] Failed to connect to server: Connection refused" Any ideas? [19:00] help! in evolution my outbox is gone! I cannot send any e-mails any more... http://img255.imageshack.us/my.php?image=bildschirmfotobv5.png [19:00] nintendork32: then I suggest that you try booting into the livecd and installing from there [19:00] Myrtti: what do you mean? just wait? [19:00] m3lawren, set it to use alsa,instead of pulse - perhaps. [19:00] nintendork32: how long have you waited? [19:01] Myrtti, maybe 30 seconds [19:01] curtmack: sudo m-a a-i fglrx results in a blue console screen telling me that building of fglrx-kernel-source failed, and if I want to VIEW, CONTINUE or STOP [19:01] m3lawren it's trying to use the pulseaudio sound server, make sure it's running (ps -A | grep pulseaudio) - if not, run it (pulseaudio &) [19:01] its still on now though [19:01] brb let me check at where its at [19:01] How do you controll cpu scaling directly, i have root privleges for the scaling monitor but when i try to change it from 600mhz to 1.7ghz nothing happens, it is forever stuck at 600mhz [19:01] dr_willis: Running mplayer with -ao alsa gives http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/75722/ [19:02] nintendork32: g2g, good luck with that... if all else fails, try double-checking your drive cables, they might be bad [19:02] hello there [19:02] curtmack: and the build log contains nothing [19:02] may I ask about the gnome screen resolution?

[19:03] hm [19:03] that did not work at all [19:03] OxDeadC0de: Running pulseaudio gives me the following bad-looking output: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/75723/ [19:03] OxDeadC0de: it did not recreate a xorg file [19:03] frando: in that case, all I can suggest is removing all of the relevant packages and using ATI's installer [19:03] not the best solution [19:03] curtmack: hm, okay, might try this [19:03] roger74 oh sorry, sudo dpkg-reconfigure xorg-server I believe will do it then [19:04] make sure you backup xorg.conf before running that [19:04] curtmack: yeah, don't really like running drivers from outside the repos.. [19:04] cpufreq-set -u 1700000 does not do anything [19:04] Package `xorg-server' is not installed and no info is available. [19:04] http://ati.amd.com/support/drivers/linux/linux-radeon.html <-- well, that's the link if you need it [19:04] yeah, it's not normally a good idea to use drivers outside the repo [19:04] roger74, OxDeadC0de xserver-xorg [19:04] dr_willis : are you there ??

Use the automated installation method instead.*" [19:14] ah it is already... [19:14] thanks! [19:14] majd: then look for the hz [19:14] curtmack: what exactly does that mean now? [19:15] !away | David0811 [19:15] David0811: You should avoid noisy away messages in a busy channel like #ubuntu, or other Ubuntu channels; it causes excessive scrolling which is unfair to new users.

[19:28] the installation program can also be used to build installable packages [19:29] but, as stated, this doesn't work with Intrepid. [19:29] curtmack: hmm okay [19:29] hischild: your computer was exorsized, but seriously if you need it back whack in a windows cd [19:29] it will replace the bootloader into the mbr [19:30] hischild: do you want me to calculate the precentage of the channel population that has changed between your repeated questions to point out how useless the repetition is? [19:30] invalidrecord, there are 2 problems with that. 1. i don't have a windows cd at hand. 2. I need both the OS's. [19:30] LjL, thanks again, cya around :D [19:30] Myrtti, if you think that it would serve a point, go ahead. From what i can see, quite some people have joined between the questions. [19:30] Myrtti: Tried that and up popped a small screen with lots of options in grey so I cant touch them .. items such as root, users, dhcp, syslog etc. A lot of them [19:30] hischild: 2) you can only fix mbr, you don't need to overrun and delete ubuntu [19:30] Myrtti, how can i boot ubuntu if i fix my mbr from a cd that i don't have. [19:31] ok, i am trying to install xubuntu on a system, GRUB or LILO won't install, should i select the option "continue without bootloader"? it has an error when installing [19:31] hischild: you then take a ubuntu installation cd and fix grub [19:31] ok, i am trying to install xubuntu on a system, GRUB or LILO won't install, should i select the option "continue without bootloader"? it has an error when installing GRUB or LILO [19:31] nintendork32: you _need_ a bootloader [19:31] Myrtti, grub isn't broken. I can still boot ubuntu just fine. It's only with vista that it won't boot. [19:31] curtmack: I wrote a more detailed report here http://sudan.ubuntuforums.com/showthread.php?p=6231030#post6231030 - if you happen to have another idea .. [19:31] hischild: are you sure then that the vista partition is live and well? [19:31] aoupi: it has an option to "continue without bootloader" so what should i do? [19:32] nintendork32: fix the error you get [19:32] have you tried using the official installer?

[20:55] phil: same way you would on the native system... [20:55] My password doesn't work... When I try to SSH into my comp, incorrect password denies me access and lets me enter the paswsword again... The correct password closes the connection... [20:55] it is a windows simulator? [20:55] salut [20:56] its in virtualbox [20:56] Alex008: Wine Is Not an Emulator... no [20:56] Alex008: wine program.exe [20:56] wine not? [20:56] still to no avail [20:56] Dvyjones: do ssh -vv and pastebin the output [20:56] but it emules windows [20:56] Alex008: Wine is an implementation of win32 api on top of *nix [20:56] Dvyjones: thats normally caused by either a.) 3 wrong password types b.) no valid authentication method c.) the wrong shell on your user [20:56] dont know wat to do [20:56] sow it emules something :) [20:56] no one on the virtuals resolution thing then? [20:57] Alex008, WINE is something that lets you run Windows programs inside Linux. whether you want to call that an emulator or not isn't really important. [20:57] Alex008: no... it reimplements something [20:57] hi [20:57] I'm using xterm [20:57] how do I make it support cjk? [20:57] let's not argue about the definition of emulation, really [20:57] fde: i cant get access to var/www ..? but i'm logged in as an administrator [20:57] pen_: cjk ? [20:57] Alex008: there is no emulation or simulation going on... [20:57] like chinese, japanese, korean [20:57] nrron: who are you logged in as ? [20:57] ikonia: you don't know cjk? [20:57] matchez: why are you building g++, did you attempt to apt-get install build-essential? [20:57] pen_: no, or I wouldn't be asking [20:57] ikonia: as myself [20:57] nrron: try asking in #ubuntu-server [20:57] yes i did [20:57] ikonia: alright, do you know? [20:57] i'm the only user [20:57] pen_: no [20:57] that is where the error begun [20:58] i use ubuntu desktop [20:58] nrron: you need to use "sudo" infront of the chgrp command that fde suggested [20:58] is this support or chat? [20:58] geremy: http://paste.cluenet.org/1148 [20:58] anyone knows how to make xterm supports chinese? [20:58] pen_: support [20:58] phil: support [20:58] matchez: oh, and then apt-get install g++ ? [20:58] matchez: thats wehre you get the error? [20:58] pen_: if you can speak one of those languages, you might try asking in #ubuntu-cn, #ubuntu-ko or #ubuntu-jp [20:58] sudo chgrp /var/www/ ? [20:58] You know about servers? [20:58] yes [20:58] i get and error for both [20:58] nrron: do you know how to use the pastebin ? [20:58] about .htacess ? [20:59] goat|lappy: yes he did... I think its just poor timing, and there is a g++ update in incoming atm [20:59] LjL: lol, ubuntu-tw is more appropriate to my language but cn works fine too [20:59] LjL: I can't type chinese yet [20:59] Does anyone have any experience with Tribler?

[20:59] nrron: thats it, can you pastebin the output of the command "ls -la /var/www" please [20:59] LjL: besides, I can't read their characters yet [20:59] sudo apt-get install build-essential says that it has unmet dependencies with g++ [20:59] how i can start learning Linux developing? [20:59] LjL: that's why I am here for help [20:59] how i can start learning Linux developing? [20:59] pen_: uhm, you should be able to... [20:59] shure thing [20:59] you know on notebooks it has the little scroll thing in the mouse pad with 6.06 it worked but i upgraded lastnigt and it dont work do you know how to fix it?

[21:00] chgrp: missing operand after `var/www/' [21:00] LjL: irssi [21:00] pen_: tried with gnome-terminal instead of xterm? [21:00] mIRC [21:00] i think it has something to do with a broken package [21:00] nrron: I asked you to put the output of "ls -la /var/www" in the pastebin [21:00] LjL: why would I? can I just stick with xterm? [21:00] oh [21:00] Alex008, i wasn't asking you. stop trolling. [21:01] you know on notebooks it has the little scroll thing in the mouse pad with 6.06 it worked but i upgraded lastnigt and it dont work do you know how to fix it? [21:01] matchez: yes, that is what fde is saying... [21:01] pen_: maybe, but meanwhile if you can get it running with gnome-terminal (or for that matter, xchat), you can ask in one of those channels... [21:01] hi, how do i activate swap usage in ubuntu, i installed the bootloaded by my self when i installed ubuntu and it seems i forgot to configure swap [21:01] how can i do that manually now [21:01] lanoxx-: put it in your fstab [21:01] goat|lappy: well, the Broken packages output from apt sort of gives that away... but I'm suggesting why that is happening...

[21:02] pen_: *i* can't, maybe someone else can. i was merely suggesting that chances of someone knowing in those channels are probably higher [21:02] nrron: so that file permission will allow apache to access the folder, but you need to change the owner to "you" if you want to be able to write to it [21:02] lanoxx-: blkid [21:02] I need default ntfs options for ivman auto mounting [21:02] pen_: its related to the font you're using.... the deja vu set is very complete [21:02] ikonia, k, thx [21:02] how can I set my ubuntu box as a router?

[21:11] pen_: throw the font into /usr/share/fonts and fire up any app that you can set fonts in to test [21:11] ikonia: and the portforwards work if i point them at another webserver, so it shows the problem is with ubuntu [21:11] lenswipe: well, it sounds like either a.) your services are not listening on the right address or b.) portforwarding is not setup correctly [21:12] pen_: or just ~/.fonts if you don't want them accessible to all accounts on the system/don't have root privs [21:12] sigma: i beleive it's Gnome-schedule [21:12] pen_: i don't know, but i've tried to make it use a few fonts i have, and it refused to use any [21:12] Dvyjones: that sounds more like a bad password than anything. dvyjones isnt uid 0 right? [21:12] LjL: you were doing as I suggested to him? (wrt fonts) [21:12] fde: chinese display well in other apps [21:12] ikonia: it cant be the first or the second because if it were the first, i wouldnt be able to access the webserver from anywhere, and if it were the second no computer would work with the portforwarding [21:12] LjL: you have foreign fonts? [21:12] fde: no, i just passed the "-font" option to xterm using fonts listed in "fc-list" [21:13] pen_: could be you're using an app with poor unicode support then, or that is poorly translated [21:13] i need to type my password to get online when i start my machine (have to click dlink then it asks i type it the they both go green) and its built in ati driver updater gets stuck at 0% and add/remove says 11 resources temp unavailable [21:13] pen_: foreign fonts? no, my normal fonts (for example DejaVu) just have full Unicode support - or, reasonably full at least [21:13] ikonia: can we take this to PM please, its hard to read with all the other text in the channel and this problem requires alot of explaination, thanks [21:13] :0 [21:13] hey all, could someone help me out with troubleshooting gdm? it doesnt seem to want to start anymore [21:13] LjL: yeah... try what I said, and the fonts should work fine [21:13] fde: you mean xterm?

[21:14] geremy: No, it [21:14] fde: but if you say that xterm has TTF support, then why doesn't it depend on freetype? [21:14] 's UID 1000 [21:14] pen_: shouldn't matter where they're used as xorg looks in those locations for the fonts... xterm is just a terminal emulator that uses xlib, so it should be fine too [21:14] Googling it, it only seems to happen w/ ATI cards, but I have nvidia... [21:14] ikonia: it does need alot of explaining, which is very hard to do in the large amount of chat in this channel without it becoming disjointed... [21:14] pen_: no, i just started xterm as "xterm -font whatever" from my command line [21:14] Dvyjones: give me an extra v's worth of output [21:14] ikonia: so please can we take this to PM [21:14] lenswipe: it really doesn't, just answer the questions short and sharp [21:14] what only happens with ati cards?

[21:15] geremy: I just discovered starting synaptic and entering the pass it asks for to run "administrative tasks" work...

[22:23] moo [22:23] don't moo publicly in #ubuntu [22:23] if everybody was to moo back the internet would go down [22:23] Mecha25, I use horixontal. I haven't noticed it being any slower than single screen using ATI radeon 2400 High Definition with the FGLRX driver [22:23] lol [22:23] hello, does anybody know where the content of $PATH is located? [22:24] I'm back with another problem :) Actually, two.. First: How is it, that ubuntu uses about 3hours to recharge my laptop battery, while in windows, it takes under an hour.. and.. why is the battery life time 1.22 in ubuntu, and 3.09 in windows [22:24] dru_gor, $PATH is a variable [22:24] i lack a /sbin/init so ubuntu puts me on busybox whenever i boot. can anyone show me what it should contain? [22:24] dru_gor: it's in memory [22:24] that's why, I'm on a not to spectacular laptop graphics chip, Radeon Xpress 1150 [22:24] can I burn two bootable iso to one dvd? [22:24] Mecha25, I've never seen an ati laptop that can handle xgl to be honest [22:25] nrron, something is hogging up all the juice in ubuntu, i suggest you install and run powertop. It should give you some clues as to what exactly it is [22:25] well i exported a path to $PATH, how do i remove it now? thanks for the previous reply [22:25] can I burn two bootable iso to one dvd? [22:25] usser, i did.. [22:25] it said something about my keyboard,mouse [22:26] csilk: mine runs spectacularly on single monitors, the only reason I arrange them vertically is because they're different resolutions [22:26] Anyone know where I can get live chat help for mac os x? [22:26] StevenX: not here [22:26] can I burn two bootable iso to one dvd? [22:26] nrron, did u do the commands that it suggests at the bottom [22:26] Mecha25, different resolutions is something the driver doesn't handle well [22:26] Greencoat1983: not as far as I know [22:26] usser, I'm on it :) [22:26] Mecha25, thanks. [22:27] ok do you know how I can boot a liveusb? [22:27] But when i move the mouse over the battery, the "recharge" time is still over 3 hours [22:27] csilk: yeah, I noticed. one other thing is about Alpha Blur, can you get that working on the open-source drivers? [22:27] the usb is first in boot order but gets skipped [22:27] nrron, also disable compiz, on intel cards its a powerhog. There's a bug in the driver. [22:27] i dont have compiz i think [22:27] no fancy effects here [22:27] Mecha25, on the fglrx drivers I can get everything working [22:27] nrron, nvm then [22:28] nrron: ubuntu utilizes your system differently than windows, tends to use more power but with better results in my experience [22:28] When I try to ping www.google.com I get this message "ping: sendmsg: Operation not permitted" over and over again. I have an IP address and a default route and I can ping my own ip address. What could be the problem? [22:28] csilk: yeah, I could too, but it took me 3 solid weeks of tweaking to get dual monitors working [22:28] the life time dont bother me that much.. it's the recharge time [22:28] boggystudios: are you on a college campus? [22:28] I type "mail" in terminal and it tells me there is no mail but /var/spool/mail/mail has content in it. How do I see that mail? [22:29] Mecha25, I'd guess that's a different resolution issue. Mine worked straight out of the box no config needed [22:29] csilk: yeah, it's definitely from the different resolution problem. oh well, thanks for the help though [22:29] i deleted the administrator from my users and groups and now i cant do administrative tasks or management of my system [22:29] which widget engine is most recommended for ubuntu? [22:30] !root [22:30] Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [22:30] morricone, out of curiosity, why did you do that? [22:30] hm... anyone know the ubottu shortcut to the page that morricone needs? [22:30] because i m a stupid bastard [22:30] Mecha25: nah I'm at my house and all of my other comuters are fine, It almost seems like a firewall but I don't remember installing one [22:30] morricone; boot the liveCD then manually edit your /etc/groups file. add yourself back. [22:30] morricone: at least you didn't rm your root directory. there's a way to get that back [22:31] anyone know how to boost the charge time? [22:31] = [22:31] nrron: not without a chance that your battery will explode [22:31] also, predicted charge times aren't always reliable [22:32] When I have extracted Songbird's .tar.gz, how do I install it? [22:32] mecha25, i just think its strange, that it takes 3 times the amount of time in ubuntu [22:32] i bought this machine with ubuntu on it ...but i can get that live cd [22:32] i imagine [22:32] nrron: predicted or actual? [22:33] Stalker72; either copy the songbird binary to /usr/local/bin or be in the directory it is in and ./songbird [22:33] if ya have the source code of a program (windows) can it be compiled directly into linux and make a deb of it ? [22:33] has anyone had the issue of installing 8.10 and then on first boot, you enter your username and pw only to get a black screen? [22:33] thanks for all the "help" [22:33] yoyo [22:34] Decco, maybe [22:34] Decco, depends if it has windows specific code or not [22:34] b0b7: no, did it work with the liveCD? [22:34] Decco, yes [22:34] Decco, oh i mean no [22:35] Decco, not windows program [22:35] usser, not strictly true [22:35] bisa coneck [22:35] csilk, depends on what your definition of windows program i guess :) [22:35] Decco: you can do it with the Wine libraries, I forget what the actual method uses, but it's possible I think [22:35] Decco, like I said, you may be able to depending on certain things [22:36] ok i got a problem with multimedia keys: forward&backwards work in amarok2 but not exaile, but stop&play/pause work in exaile but not in amarok2 [22:36] Mecha25, usser he has the sourcecode, for all you know it could be standard java therefore he CAN [22:36] or it might be C++ with no WIN specifics [22:36] in which case he can [22:36] Decco: what language is it in? [22:36] Hey, I just ran the live CD on a machine and accidentally pressed the sleep button, then I turned it back on and the screen wouldn't come on, and now the computer won't boot at all (screen doesn't show anything and the cd light just flashes slowly) [22:37] Hi, can any one tell me if there is a pdf version of the official ubuntu documention (for latest version 8.10) , plz?? [22:37] chakoshi, what documentation? [22:37] specifically [22:37] dunno what it's written in.. sec.. i'll check [22:37] bastid_raZor: How? [22:37] the official documention project, available as html at ubuntu website [22:37] Mecha25: hm....I don't remember if I tried it or not.... [22:38] I want to print it as a reference [22:38] thanks for pointing me in the right direction [22:38] Mecha25, Requires Borland Delphi 7 Professional or Entreprise with Update 1 [22:38] it looks like my problem is common [22:38] !password [22:38] Forgot your password?

I have no idea how to get that running on linux [22:38] the temporary in-cracked mind [22:38] Stalker72; where did you extract the tar to? cd to that directory. do 'sudo cp songbird /usr/local/bin/' without the quotes [22:38] I want to edit /etc/network/interfaces using the normal browser. Can i change my permissions from this environment so i can edit this file as root? [22:39] or maybe not so temporary [22:39] i do sudo apt-get install rtorrent and get this message "saint@saint-desktop:~$ sudo apt-get install rtorrent [22:39] E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem. " [22:39] Decco: it's something to do with databases isn't it? [22:39] bastid_raZor: I extracted it to the desktop..

[22:44] Mecha25, http://www.antp.be/software/moviecatalog/ [22:44] Saint1993: try frostwire, but you may consider a dedicated program like transmission, or deluge (a utorrent clone) for greater feature depth [22:44] Dvyjones: what is? (i only just got on) [22:44] Mecha25: i looked in services, there is nothing there. [22:44] have anyone install wxFlashGet ?

[22:49] Dvyjones: did you accidentally have caps-lock on when you changed your password? [22:49] i ahve all the codecs installed from medibuntu, shouldn't that apply to banshee? [22:49] Do we get all the drivers in default install of eee ? [22:49] cmdbbq: ok, you need to install the GStreamer proprietary codecs [22:50] loldgdf, I just use standard ubuntu, then, configure for eeepc [22:50] Mecha25: No. I've tried to copy-paste it also... === miniwolf is now known as miniwolf_ [22:50] dli: How is that different ?

[22:51] please help me, im working on blender, and i need to kwow the absolute path of an specific font, how ca i find that? i know the name of the font [22:51] and after a security update, my aiptek tablet stopped working..

Where can I see what hardware is installed on my Ubuntu system, I have a DWLG520 wireless card inside the computer I'm trying to get working, but I can't see if it is installed or not (can't get wireless) - Whats device managers (windows) equivalent in ubuntu? [22:51] seyacat: you might want to find the Blender IRC channel [22:51] Saint1993, do you have your computer plugged through a power/surge protector? [22:51] Its only happend since ive installed Ubuntu (Which is today) [22:51] loldgdf: I've installed eeebuntu on a eee701 and it everything works except for the webcam [22:51] peleus: in terminal: sudo lshw [22:51] loldgdf, oh, I took the kernel from zen-sources, which contains drivers for eee, not sure about vanilla kernel nowadays [22:51] dr_willis: the problem its the name of the font its not the file font name [22:52] seyacat, ive no idea then. :() [22:52] m why not the web cam ? I heard for 901 there are no issues [22:52] Peleus, lspci === miniwolf_ is now known as miniwolf [22:52] loldgdf, there's always an issue heh [22:52] Its kinda annoying [22:52] loldgdf, the webcam is uvcvideo, it's in zen-sources [22:52] Piggo: i think the problen is not on blender, if i know the absolute path with the name its all i need [22:52] Ive only had this PSU replaced brand new with a 750W psu... [22:52] loldgdf, I think in vanilla kernel too [22:52] so it aint that [22:52] loldgdf: whas it a binary from zen or de we need to recompile for better optimisation [22:53] and all my other hardware is perfect. [22:53] Sudo doesn't work for me... Upon trying to change my password, it works. Then, when I try to use something that requires sudo, it doesn't... I am part of the admin group, and haven't (intentionally) changed /etc/sudoers... It doesn't say I'm not in the sudoers file, only "Sorry, try again" as if my password was wrong... Upon trying to SSH into my computer from another one, my comp closes the connection on teh correct pass, and asks again for wron [22:53] dli: I meant is it binary ? [22:53] dli: I cant apt-get for it ? [22:53] Dvyjones: I think you might have changed Root's password, not yours, which might cause a problem [22:53] <_Zeus_> Dvyjones: boot to recovery mode [22:53] So does anybody know what could be causing pppd call verizon not to return the IP I need? [22:53] loldgdf, if it's in kernel, it's open source. I build kernel using kernel-package [22:53] Mecha25: I just double checked and all the codec packages for gstreamer are installed, it is weird, because it doesn't play in anything except VLC so i figured codecs at first too but VLC identifies the stream as containing wma2 audio which should be playable [22:54] dli: ok [22:54] bastid_raZor: It won't launch after creating the shortcut.. [22:54] <_Zeus_> Dvyjones: does your user password work? [22:54] _Zeus_: How to test? [22:54] loldgdf: I don't know if you can compile drivers for it (hadn't enough time to figure out) I just know that it doesn't work out of the box on a eee701 [22:54] Guys what about eee 901 hope it works fine with all the drivers [22:54] <_Zeus_> Dvyjones: do you have automatic login? [22:54] wow it gets busy in here in a hurry [22:54] cmdbbq: VLC is magical like that, and just straight-up plays everything it touches. Not sure what else I can say except just use VLC to play it [22:54] Hey, I just ran the live CD on a machine and accidentally pressed the sleep button, then I turned it back on and the screen wouldn't come on, and now the computer won't boot at all (screen doesn't show anything and the cd light just flashes slowly) [22:55] <_Zeus_> tsrk: take the cd out? [22:55] _Zeus_: No, but I'm kinda afraid of rebooting, because this is the only comp with internet access, and therefore, if it doesn't work, I'm screwed... [22:55] tsrk, take the CD out yes [22:55] tsrk: just unplug the computer, your bios isn't fully compatible with Ubuntu, i had the same problem, it just won't wake up [22:55] Mecha25: that is why i have it :-) [22:55] yeh [22:55] Latest kernel wont recognize my HVR-1110 IR input device. I cant find a log about it either. Help? [22:55] <_Zeus_> Dvyjones: well, can't be much of a help then [22:55] loldgdf: oh and I had to edit a config file to get de sd-card reader working, was a simple tweak (removing 1 line) [22:55] _Zeus_, Piggo, the CD is out [22:55] Mecha25, I rebooted a few times [22:55] tsrk, then unplug it [22:56] I did [22:56] rebooting doesn't matter [22:56] oh [22:56] <_Zeus_> tsrk: flash the bios? [22:56] It's not starting at all [22:56] If my computer keeps shutting down using Ubuntu i think i might have to go back to windows, Which will be such a bad decision [22:56] cheeps: no clue, but out of curiosity, what's a HVR-1110 IR? [22:56] anybody have an ubuntu dell? [22:56] Did it corrupt the bios? [22:56] * Dvyjones 'll try it then... And hope for the best :P [22:56] zenlunatic, yes why? [22:56] Piggo: might get one [22:56] MaT-dg: Oh those small things I could tinker recompiling with particular flags is a bit hard from me [22:56] Saint1993: if it's a laptop, check your power settings, if it's overclocked or custom made, check your temperatures [22:56] tsrk: no it couldnt have [22:56] Mecha25: its an tv tuner [22:56] its a desktop [22:56] zenlunatic, well i partitioned for ubuntu, but it's pretty much the same heh [22:57] in ubuntu i can go via place to my d-drive on my windows xp disk. Only then it asks my for my windows credentials. In my windows i have no password specified and i would like to use the adminstrator account because it is hidden and has a password. Only I can not find where i can specify the user any clues? [22:57] xmatrix, then how can you explain this? [22:57] Piggo: hah [22:57] cheeps: oh! cool [22:57] tsrk: hmm so u ran the live cd, then u put in sleep mode then wat? [22:57] bastid_raZor: It seems like the shortcut doesn't work.. [22:57] xmatrix, then it wouldn't wake up, I had to unplug, and then it wouldn't boot at all [22:58] I feel like [22:58] suiciding [22:58] loldgdf: had to patch and compile drivers for my cam in a asus g2s laptop to. Wasn't hard at al, just a matter of copy/paste the commands one after another in terminal :P [22:58] 500gb HD [22:58] AMD Phenom 9600 Quad Core Processor [22:58] Nvidia 8800 GTX GfxCard [22:58] SLI Gaming Mobo [22:58] Saint1993: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.

[22:59] tsrk, try a different monitor if you have it, or unplug/replug it [22:59] _Zeus_, no, the screen's not showing anything [22:59] tsrk: you should not have unplugged it [22:59] Piggo, I did [22:59] Should i report a bug in lp? If i use the latest (2.6.27-7) kernel my ir receiver wont get recognized, but while running a 2.6.24-16 kernel, it works like a charm [22:59] xmatrix, what should I have done?

[23:00] MaT-dg: Its fine till you have got a website where to copy and paste from ;) [23:00] tsrk: and did u try pressing the on button before you unplugged it? [23:00] because my instalation is stuck in "starting bluetooth" [23:00] xmatrix, I tried pressing it (without holding it) [23:00] trust me, i gave it enough time [23:00] tsrk: yeah that would be the first thing [23:01] How do i install Java for ubuntu?

For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+) [23:07] tsrk: If the resetting of the bios doesnt work (which i think it wont) its defantley hardware related (my first inclination) [23:07] xmatrix, so suspending ubuntu in live cd screwed the hardware? [23:07] <_Zeus_> i doubt it [23:07] <_Zeus_> more likely a freak accident, I would say... [23:08] <_Zeus_> i don't see how standby could do that [23:08] what the command to get a file directly?

[23:09] apt-get installs something out of the repository [23:09] dr_willis: what abt a mplayer plugin in firefox? [23:09] wget downloads something [23:09] tsrk: so disruping something major will cause something to mess up, thats why ppl dont just unplugg thier computer to shut it down, or press cntrl-alt-backspace to logg off [23:09] dpkg installs a .deb package that you've installed already [23:10] <_Zeus_> loldgdf: mozilla-mplayer would be tha package [23:10] srikanth: which file is that? [23:10] xmatrix, I had no choice [23:10] srikanth, it seems to want a specific windows media player extension... from what i gather from the IE messages here.

I want to place /boot on an internal hard drive (just as a small partition) and then the bulk of Ubuntu on an SD card. How can I tell whether or not the boot loader will be able to "see" the SD card by the time the boot process needs it? I.e., if I boot from a USB memory stick and Ubuntu sees the SD card, is it safe to assume I could put everything but /boot on it during an installation? [23:19] Saint1993: sudo that [23:19] bastid_raZor: If I want the Songbird logo besides the launcher, do I have to manually get it?

[23:43] Flannel, thanks, I'm making sure/ double checking all packages are purged [23:43] Saint1993, a type of ping? [23:43] My HP Deskjet 5440 was fine in Hardy, but the latest bugs in cups are causing it to print nothing but random unicode regardless of what I print. Has anyone found work arounds for the broken CUPS? [23:44] Saint1993 you can use the ping command in Ubuntu if that's what you're asking [23:44] _Zeus_: Got it working... I had messed around too much with LDAP... [23:44] Does anyone in here use the new Macbook ? I (think) I want to buy one, but would probably just use Ubuntu on it. [23:44] Ok, I am think about switching to ubuntu but I am worried that it won't be compatable with my large collection of porn, is there anything I can do to make sure it is? [23:44] Saint1993 just type "ping hostname/whateveraddress-you-want-to-ping [23:45] jMaN1993: o it will [23:45] Flannel, looks there was a language pack from the ppa that I missed [23:45] ok thegoatmilkguy it says I have Phoenix - AwardBIOS [23:46] xmatrix cause I got lots of pictures and videos in wmv [23:46] hey folks can wubi be used to install any distro?

Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [23:49] But I am worried that if I switch now my 250 gig collection of porn will be worthless. [23:49] This is the support chanel [23:49] Question, I'm setting up my tower to display to my TV, VIA dvi output on my video card. I have a e-GeForce 8500gt. But when it display on my TV it has a low res picture of my screen, and it keeps scolling and blinking and stuff... [23:49] xmatrix, I beg to differ, I'm happy with my gf, no need for porn here, either way, it's not appropriate to discuss such topics here [23:50] anyone have any ideas what I should do? [23:50] all my firefox passwords are gone, does firefox keep a backup? what is the name of the file firefox stores password info in? [23:50] jMaN1993: LOL it wont, trust me the pron is all good [23:50] jMaN1993: btw thats alot of pron [23:50] I know I love porn.

[23:52] LOL got booted for that pron comment - my badd [23:52] porn is not a bad word [23:52] hey [23:53] weird [23:53] it runs when I'm in bios... [23:53] who cares i guess some ppl dont like it [23:53] for example, "I have lots of wmv and avi files, will they work in ubuntu?" rather than.. "I have lots of xxx will it work in ubuntu?" [23:53] but as soon as ubuntu loads it goes all weird... [23:53] wtf is going on in here? take this porn discussion to offtopic! [23:53] lol [23:53] kk [23:53] Flannel, thanks for the prompt to check if all packages were removed, sorted it and know OOo is working normally :) [23:53] yeah this is support [23:53] i have a question on a shell script [23:53] pornobuntu [23:53] will the vlc play mp4 wmv , avi ect? [23:54] yes [23:54] yeah it will [23:54] jMaN1993, yes [23:54] so will totem with gstreamer [23:54] vlc will play most everything you throw at it [23:54] thats crazy [23:54] but vlc is ugly... [23:54] yes, even the new one [23:54] jMaN1993, avi is a wrapper format, it depends, if it's not an open format, vlc usually refuses to play it [23:54] what do you mean? [23:54] dli: not with gstreamer plugins IIRC [23:55] Is anyone here good with shell scripts? [23:55] My videos will be in bad quality [23:55] ? [23:55] hmm, but will it play using my headphones? 'Cause last time i tried to listen to music in the library, ubuntu decided that headphones are bad. :( [23:55] it worked in 8.04. [23:55] dli I have never had vlc refuse to play a file open format or not [23:55] after you install virtual box in intrepid where is the launch for it located? [23:55] jMaN1993, example, vlc doesn't play realvideo by design [23:55] jMaN1993: no your porn will be viewed in normal quality [23:55] jMaN1993, don't worry, you videos will work [23:55] *your [23:55] oh yeah forgot about realvideo [23:55] amigamia: system tools i believe [23:56] What do you mean by ugly? [23:56] * insaneinside uninstalls ubuntu-desktop, because that's the only way he can get rid of pulseaudio... [23:56] How do I copy (yank) and paste a number of characters in the vi that comes with Ubuntu? [23:56] jMaN1993: aesthetics [23:56] insaneinside, and remove pulseaudio itself [23:56] hemebond: yy [23:56] insaneinside: just dont run pulseaduio? [23:56] oh k thnxs by [23:56] ha [23:57] chase: A number of characters, not the whole line. [23:57] Hemebond: just use gedit or nano [23:57] Hemebond: install vim [23:57] i think that ubuntu runs perfectly fine withouht pulse [23:57] xmatrix i cant locate it anywhere. this is strange. [23:57] how do i do that? i told it to use alsa in every settings dialog i could find [23:57] fenerli7: Gedit can't handle a 2.5MB SQL file. [23:57] i believe you hit it once and then move about with the arrow keys [23:57] i even killed the pulseaudio daemon [23:57] Hemebond: the vim that comes with ubuntu is vim-tiny, which is hardly vim at all. [23:57] insaneinside, pulseaudio is the future, just not friendly enough [23:57] and still, headphones are not automatically selected. [23:57] Hemebond, 9y would yank 9 chars [23:57] Hemebond: gedit *and* nano [23:58] doug__: Hmm. I tried that. I'll try again. [23:58] so, i blame pulseaudio and uninstall anything that requires that i keep it installed. [23:58] if this doesn't work, i'm going back to debian. [23:58] Hemebond: i.e. I know gedit and many other GUI text editors have their limitations ;) [23:58] doug__: Didn't work. It just pastes newline characters. [23:58] anyone [23:58] insaneinside, it's application issue, not much relevant to distro [23:58] amigamia: if u cant find it in the menus, there will be a launcher for it in /usr/bin [23:58] haha, hey guys. I did a downgrade from 8.10 to 8.04 ...that went fine, but when I rebooted I found out that I have no kernel installed on the box (for some reason it removed the 8.10 kernel but didn't install 8.04's kernel)...is there a way to boot the box or do I need to boot from the CD? [23:59] thanks xmatrix [23:59] I'd like to keep the install, maybe I just need to repair it from cd...? [23:59] use of the headphone jack is an application issue? wow, really? then aplay and vlc have the exact same issue! [23:59] amigamia: np, not only that u can press alt+f2 and then just start typing VirtualBox and it will run it [23:59] is anyone on here good with shell scripts? [23:59] chase: just ask, someone will answer if they can [23:59] what [23:59] er [23:59] thnx
