snuitjeif the live cd has that00:05
toastedmilkActionParsnip, so I'm just trying to reset the mount-point value in gconf-editor00:05

_cbWill sudo dpkg –get-selections > /home/user/package.selections save things like my Evolution contacts or are those save in my home folder ? Trying to figure out how to do a clean install without loosing apps or settings.00:06
snuitjeyes, you can do that from within grub btw00:06
snuitjejust press 'e' to edit the menu entries00:06
Myrtti_cb: no it will not save them00:06
LjjjL_cb: those are in your home folder. you definitely need to backup your home folder for configurations to carry over00:06
snuitjethen move over the kernel line, press 'e' again, make the change, press enter and press 'b' to boot it00:06

toastedmilkDoes anyone know how to reset the default value for an ipod mount in gconf-editor?00:07
ActionParsniptoastedmilk: does the guide not say?00:07
ActionParsniptoastedmilk: i thought mounts were handled in /etc/fstab00:07
toastedmilkActionParsnip, not at all.00:07
_cbSo for a clean install I only need to tar my home folder, do an sudo dpkg –get-selections > /home/user/package.selections do the clean install copy home folder back and sudo dpkg –set-selections /home/package.selections && apt-get dselect-upgrade00:07
snuitjewhat does gconf-editor has to do with mounting an ipod?00:08
toastedmilkActionParsnip, yes, but I'm not familiar with terminal that well00:08
snuitjei thought gnome-volume-manager handles them, and hal00:08
toastedmilksnuitje, it holds the registry value00:08
LjjjL_cb: well, depends if you've also made changes to /etc00:08
ActionParsniptoastedmilk: you can open it in gedit00:08
snuitjeregistry?00:08
Brandano_cb: just to see what you risk to lose, go to your home folder with nautilus and press CTRL+H to show hidden files00:08

Dante123rrplay same thing happens with the previous release 8.153 (i think that was the number)00:13
snuitjeZeelot: should be in /var/log then00:13
toastedmilkBrandano, I already tried clearing the value, and that doesn't work00:13

SchuenemannCrash_0verride, Well, the notebook arrived with 1 GB but I was planning to put 4 GB00:30
Crash_0verrideand in my experience, x86_64 actually benchmarks slower than x86 linux.00:30
DasEi1Llanowyn: why do you use a dvd (more data = more poss. faults ?) verify with the installers choice check media and see :00:30
snuitjedoes vlc use w32codecs?00:30
Crash_0verrideSchuenemann: go the 64 bit route then00:31
SchuenemannBrandano, what's wrong with the codecs00:31
BrandanoYep, the idea that 64 bit is faster is a misconception00:31
jimbofoxmanBrandano:  I can't even read files from the CD using WINE to install.........doesn't see any files00:31
ActionParsnipCrash_0verride: depends depends no the app00:31
DasEi1!md5 | Llanowyn00:31
xbj_A21m64 bit is only faster for certain operations such as DVD transcoding00:31

^Cheekycan anyone help me , with my virtual box installing running windows xp, i need to obtain a file from the virtual box. please can anyone help me00:31
SchuenemannCrash_0verride, I would, but you just scared me with those library issues :-)00:31
SchuenemannCrash_0verride, does that happen with all distros?00:31
Pelo^Cheeky, try asking in #vbox00:31
BrandanoSchuenemann: some win32 codecs are only available as win32 binaries. Mplayer can use these, but only if you run the 32 bit version00:31
^Cheekyok00:32
Crash_0verrideSchuenemann: yeah pretty much. it just has to do with the state of gcc under 64 bit00:32
OrcD3vilanyone running WoW on Ubuntu that can give me a hand?00:32
Schuenemannhmm that sucks :-/00:32
LlanowynDasEi1:  I used a dvd because the image I downloaded was over 1gb and would not fit on a cd-r.  I will try !md5 to test my .iso integrity.00:32
BrandanoSchuenemann: there's workarounds, but they are not exactly trivial00:32
SchuenemannBrandano, I can imagine00:32
=== marcelo__ is now known as FFighter
BrandanoMainly they are older stuff, though00:32
djungelkraemis there any info about how much faster jaunty will boot? (approx.)00:32
Crash_0verride32 bit linux can allocate 4gb of ram00:32
Crash_0verrideassuming you have no other devices that use memory.. such as video cards or w/e.. as long as that's shared with your ram, you're fine.00:33
FFighterCrash_0verride, but only if you don't have for example, more mem on a video card00:33
rrplaySchuenemann: maybe after you install  sudo gedit /etc/init.d/rc   look for CONCURRENCY=none  replace with CONCURRENCY=shell00:33
BrandanoCrash_0verride: I am not sure about that00:33
BrandanoBut surely it can't allocate more00:33
FFighterIf you have 4GB RAM, go for 6400:33
FFighterit works fine00:33
henkeis there any good way to completely disable mouse acceleration? I normally use 'xset m 1 1', but there must be a better solution.00:33

snuitjedjungelkraem: no idea but any help is greatly appreciated :)00:33
DasEi1Llanowyn: wait!00:33

djungelkraemsnuitje  i cant help, i cant code :P just wondering because i remember i read somewhere that they wanted to make it half the boot time of intrepid00:34

OrcD3vilYes I have the proprietary drivers running at 1.7300:36
NineTeen67CometHi all; last night I ran aptitude full-upgrade and lost my sound .. I've checked alsamixer (and sudo alsamixer), my sound icon was muted and I unmuted it, then I made sure it just wast't a fluke and rebooted, tried a movie, music, and flash off the web .. even me boot up/login sounds aren't working .. Ideas where else to look? (Onboard Intel sound, 8.10)00:36
ActionParsnipOrcD3vil: then id lok at configuring wine a little better, check some guides out00:37

mapreduceI am using an Asus EEE; clearly not Ubuntu, but related.  I used its wizards to set up a VPN connection so I can ssh to my work machine (which is Ubuntu, though that's irrelevant).  The VPN connection silently drops sometimes.  Is there anywhere I should look to see why it drops?00:37
BrandanoNineTeen67Comet: in my case it was a single checkbox in "switches", but I have a different soundcard00:37
Schuenemannhey, about the alternate install cd, is its interface CLI or like those old DOS applications (Edit, scandisk, etc)?00:37
DasEi1Llanowyn: verify disk and iso file, run a memtest, or try medium on another dvd-drive (integrity check) to close out faulty drive, also if you re-burn, use cd and no full speed00:37
LjjjLmapreduce: err... the eee's default Linux operating system is just about the most unrelated thing to Ubuntu ever that's still Linux00:37
NineTeen67CometBrandano: "switches" .. in Pref>Sound? ..00:38

LjjjLmapreduce: so please, ask in #eeepc or something (or install Ubuntu on your eee and then ask here)00:38

NineTeen67CometBrandano: I've been happy with 8.10 for about a month now (all working awesome) .. just noticed the sound went away after I upgraded "stuff" last night ..00:38
unopSchuenemann, yes, the interface is built with curses/ncurses00:38

snuitjeNineTeen67Comet: kk00:40
Brandanodigital out was checked, but I have analogue speakers00:40
unopSchuenemann, not sure what you mean - but 'buttons' in curses are usually just text with a different background - in respect to the alternate installer, you shift focus using the TAB key and select using the ENTER or SPACEBAR00:40

ubottuKrispyKreme: ntfs-3g is a Linux driver which allows read/write access to NTFS partitions. Installation instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountingWindowsPartitions00:59
Skyfuryn8tuser: i dont really know, treid to connect via networkmanager / fail - now via wicd / fail also - but i can connect to the network?!00:59
BrandanotieTYT: the question, rather than how, is why?00:59
standarshyActionParsnip, How do I change the permisssions so I can edit the fstab00:59
Brandanoin any case you need ntfs-3g00:59
roshankBrandano: for me it plays fine for most, but the title1 (the movie itself) it hardly plays. when i play it in vlc there is no video output and after a few moments of playing like that from any spot, then there is video output which is jerky and looks scrambled00:59
ActionParsnipthiebaude: for screen res I always edit xorg.conf00:59
OrcD3vilActionParsnip: hmm it won't even let me go past ./configure I try the make depend && make and it errors out00:59
n8tuserSkyfury -> you are connected now right and chatting?00:59
tieTYT2because i'm reading on forums that you can't install xp unless NTFS is on the primary partition00:59
Skyfuryn8tuser: yes via cable00:59
Brandanoroshank: that might be a problem with the hardware rather than the software01:00
node357what the heck, I get no sound in Firefox01:00
ActionParsnipthiebaude: or add a script to set it in ~/.fluxbox/startup01:00
n8tuserSkyfury -> so i dont know what you considered failure then if you are able to chat now..01:00
ActionParsnipOrcD3vil: do you have build-essential installed?01:00
tieTYT2so how do I do it?01:00
Brandanoroshank: some DVD's copy protection relies on the reader blindly following seek instructions to skip bad sectors01:00
snuitjeBrandano: if it gets "scrambled" after a while it's usually a corrupted stream01:00

n8tuserSkyfury -> dont try to have both wireless and ethernet active at same time unless you know how to figure out your route table01:01
Brandanoroshank: if THAT is the issue, nothing short than a different reader bios01:01
seedebut it searchs /lib nonetheless01:01
OrcD3vilthiebaude: try gedit xorg.conf when you in the dir01:01
ActionParsnipthiebaude: sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf_old; gksudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf01:01
thiebaudethanks01:01

chad1Does anyone know when the 177.82 nvidia driver will appear in the ubuntu repos? They lag so far behind some times on driver releases.  Should i just install it myself and skip waiting fort the repo?01:02
Brandanoroshank: ok, that means my theory is wrong :)01:02
Illuzionzhow can i turn everything slightly "outzoomed, so i can have more windows @ my desktop01:02
Skyfuryn8tuser: yes i know i can deactivate it before i try to connect with my wireless - wicd also tells me "connected" but im not able to ping my router01:02
n8tuserSkyfury -> so 1st you must decide, ethernet or wireless (one at a time)01:02
Brandanoroshank: which incidentally is lucky for you01:02
Brandanoroshank: have you tried using VLC?01:03
ActionParsnipthiebaude: or if yuo add a script to run the xandr command01:03
Skyfuryn8tuser: yeh i read a lot in the forums & google - but nothing worked for me to get this wlan0 working correctly01:03

BrandanoPsiKloPx: does it work?01:15
justizinkalamari: possibly with LVM snapshots, something you'd have to try up front.01:15
ellomotodoes anyone know the ecact time this game will launch01:15
Brandanoapparently yes01:15
ellomotowhen will this game be public01:15
justizinAlex_Gaynor: Windows puts up with a lot of hardware inadequacy that Linux won't, Linux may be telling you that Windows problems are around the corner.  This sort of situation was very common when Linux first gained popularity.01:15
kalamariare lvm snapshots taken automatically?01:15
justizinkalamari: no, you have to set up your volumes to use LVM, and then take snapshots before you make major changes.01:16

BrandanoWhat game is he talking about?01:18
vancomycinActionParsnip, / an xvid mpeg-4 file for example / these use to play in older builds, using 8.10 now with nvidia accelerated graphics driver 177 - activated / this same file plays in mplayer , but this ALSA error keeps flashing in the middle of the screen very fast, sorry i see your hands are FULL! :)01:18
ActionParsnipKrispyKreme_: you can use --force but if this is a usb drive and its been plugged into a windows pc, plug it back in and cleanly remove it (rather than just ragging it out of the system)01:18

n8tuserSkyfury -> why did you use a static ip for your wifi? you dislike the dhcp address it gets?01:30
DasEi1Llanowyn: more then one stripe (ram)?01:31
Brandanodidn't know wifi could use static ip's01:31
BrandanoI assumed dhcp was the default on access points01:31
Skyfuryn8tuser: yes cause of port forwarding on router01:31

KrispyKremeI still need help on intrepid. I have 5007eg Brandano01:31
ActionParsnipBrandano: any network interface can use static ip01:31
Skyfuryn8tuser: anyway for dhcp its the same01:31
TuxSympathiserI am having difficulty setting permissions of files within a folder01:32
ActionParsnipBrandano: it is but if you set static then no dhcp discovery will take place01:32
TuxSympathiserwhen I click the button set permissions within folder it does nothing?01:32
n8tuserSkyfury -> what about the route -n  can you post this in pastebin, including /etc/network/interfaces file01:32
LlanowynDasEi1:  I'm not sure how to tell?01:32

ubottukurap: To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « aptitude --disable-columns --display-format '%p' search '?installed!?automatic' > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo xargs aptitude --schedule-only install < my-packages ; sudo aptitude install » - See also !automate01:34

dr_willisnoriyuki,  theres an example entry in the menu.lst thats commented out to show how to boot a windows isntall.. You would need to edit it to point to the right drives02:30
DasEi1noriyuki:sudo fdisk -l | pastebinit02:30
n8tuserLaQuirrELL -> typically, dhcp routers on linksys will dole out same ip to same mac address,02:30
crimsunroshank: look at your Input Sources02:30
DasEi1noriyuki: pastebinit /boot/grub/menu.lst02:30
crimsunroshank: they're all set to Mic instead of Front Mic02:30
n8tuserLaQuirrELL -> what is the ip address of your host behind the linksys?02:30
DasEi1noriyuki: give resulting urls here02:31
crimsunroshank: also, you likely want to set both Front Mic Boost and Mic Boost to 100%02:31
DasEi1thor: what do you get if you call google in browser ? error ? 404 ?02:31
roshankcrimsun: when i increased the boost before it would start ringing loud like that sort of echo. also how would i change the input device from mic to front mic?02:32
roshankcrimsun: and at the moment the boost is about 1/3 of the way up02:32
crimsunroshank: you can use any mixer (e.g., alsamixer -c0, amixer -c0, the mixer_applet in the notification tray)02:32

losetheshizzlemaybe they need to update the wiki to include instructions on getting a response in this channel.. or does the number of people seeking help outweigh those providing it?03:14

wyvern84Can someone please help me get my touchpad working right?03:16
geniilosetheshizzle: When someone is present which knows the answer or approach to solving your issue, they speak up and assist when the problem is presented. If you get no takers, likely no one in the room currently knows the issue03:16
AlyxanderExecutiveOrder, you tried changing from ascill to hex?03:16
ffgyulI'm trying to install Ubuntu 8.10 on my Vostro 1500 laptop. Everything seems to be going smoothly until I get to the point where I need to partition the discs.

marco_zerodevice: you should seek the documentation for your ftp package then. Many ftp packages block root access by default for security reasons. On ubuntu, it wouldn't be possible to log in on ftp as root normally, and files created using "sudo" are owned by the root account03:43

ExecutiveOrderwhy tritium its what i just pasted in the channel03:50
n8tuserLoveGuru -> he just pasted the results of ifconfig and it shows eth003:50
udadr_willis, im fairly certain i formatted a raw device (sd card) before and it worked. :S03:50
marco_Comrade-Sergei: not sure, but I think the output file should be right next to the "-o" option, let me just be sure...03:50
ExecutiveOrderLoveGuru, i tried that a while ago it didnt do anything03:51
tritiumamikrop: likely because the drivers in restricted are ubuntu-packaged, whereas the software in the partner repo would be packaged for ubuntu by the third-party vendor03:51

Comrade-Sergeimarco_, ive missed that one what does it do , andd yes i am downloading just one file03:55
LoveGuruExecutiveOrder: yes03:55

n8tuserExecutiveOrder -> paste the results now of your /etc/network/interfaces with whatever addition you made03:56
LoveGuruYes03:56
tritiumExecutiveOrder: you need to restart network-manager any time you edit /etc/network/interfaces03:56
dr_williszerodevice,  you could copy the files over as root. or perhaps  set up where that user has the proper permissiopns to do so.. Ive never done that  myself.03:56
marco_Comrade-Sergei: search for "-O" on the man page. To search a man page, type "/" then the query03:56
ExecutiveOrderi put auto eth0  ,   iface eth0 inet dhcp03:56
ExecutiveOrderas soon as i did i lost my connection03:56
n8tuserExecutiveOrder -> btw, that result of  ls -la /sys/class/net  is really odd, it should have shown as  eth0  lo and eth1 not a symlink03:57

marco_Comrade-Sergei: "man man" and quite a bit of patience may do you some good ;-)03:57
vahnxanyone know how to disable the kde effects? its not using compiz fusion, just default effects03:57
tritiumExecutiveOrder: that's because network-manager doesn't manage interfaces manually configured in /etc/network/interfaces03:57

Comrade-Sergeimarco_, lol I was using -o instead of -O03:57
tritiumExecutiveOrder: no, /etc/dbus-1/event.d/25NetworkManager restart03:57
zerodevicedr_willis, yes i was thinking that i could copy as a root, but my problem is i cant login as root, i changed the password and it works if im on sudo, but it doesnt when i am on gui login.03:57

losetheshizzleanyone know why my network doesn't start on  it's own?  have to manually make it find dhcp settings with dhclient03:58
dr_williszerodevice,   Not sure what you broke there..  if you set a root password then 'su' may work.03:58
marco_Comrade-Sergei: it was no problem really :-)03:58
LoveGurun8tuser: if he add that eth0 entry in interfaces, then restart the services it should be work03:58
n8tuserLoveGuru -> agreed03:58

Comrade-Sergeimarco_, always fun, Ive been working on this project for two nights now03:59
dr_williszerodevice,  you DONT login to X as root..  learn to use the terminal commands to do 'root' type tasks.. direct logging to X as root is disabled in the GDM config.. and could be considered very dangerous. :)03:59
vahnxzerodevice go to the login window and i think theres a checkbox to allow root to login03:59
zerodevicedr_willis, i know the su may work in a terminal, but after i login to the terminal that doesnt seems to affact anything at al. i am still not a root user when i browse the folder.03:59

ClintHexaty04:53
dialmeupscotty800x600 makes certain dialogues in gnome very awkward but it's better than 800x48004:54
n8tuserExecutiveOrder -> actually you need to type  dhclient eth1  and not just iwconfig (which does not really associate)04:54

ExecutiveOrderwords cant describe05:01
n8tuserExecutiveOrder -> hopefully you learned, iwconfig is just to configure, and not to really associate and get an ip address05:01
ExecutiveOrderone can only hope05:02
qcjngnutron: i m from in the network, and the portforwarding is made to for extern...and that worked to..i don t know if it works now, since i m inside the network05:02
difetahey all. How can I find out what module my wireless card is presently using?05:02

I need to load the pcnet32 module (which doesn't load automatically for whatever reason), so I tried to add it to /etc/modules - that didn't help. update-modules is said to be obsolete in the manpage.. so what is the intended way of loading a module on startup?05:05

dialmeupscottyi can use alt+drag with metacity but windows get stuck on the top panel with compiz05:18
aaaantoineI've been using Ubuntu 8.10 since launch, and since I upgraded from 8.04 I notice that when there's any consistent amount of !nice CPU load the system will temporarily freeze05:18
abcdefgi installed 8.10 last week, and it crashed several times. mostly: windows automatically minized, our some strange window popup, and some text in gedit automatically highlighted etc...05:18
scunizidialmeupscotty, I think with compiz enabled you can drag a window onto the next desktop.. it auto rotates.05:19

scuniziBusterHymen, yep pretty much06:18
kingfishrmathijs, surely not for a while, seeing as it's classified as 'alpha' atm (although I find it to be much more stable than the previous solution)06:18
BusterHymenscunizi:  it's listed as a startup program in my Sessions Preferences?  Does that mean I have a vnc server running in the background?06:18
PsiKloPxjust updated adobe flash, now videos don't play (Hulu.com)06:18
PsiKloPxthrough synaptic06:19
scuniziBusterHymen, probably.. check System>preferences>remote desktop for the right switches.06:19
BusterHymenscunizi:  is it easy to remove the app altogeather or should I just remove it from my startup programs if I don't want to use it?06:20
mathijskingfishr: yeah me too, that's why I would expect it to be backported to intrepid and even hardy, since on those systems, flash still crashes many times and make you close your browser or killall npviewer.bin. If ubuntu values alpha/beta labels better than actual stability, that's disappointing06:20
scuniziBusterHymen, remove it from the startup programs or disable it in the link I gave you before.06:21
kingfishrmathijs, isn't it nice not having to deal with the 32-bit emulation crap anymore?06:21

TurboBeeohletmeinnowgodd, use rtorrent or ktorrent... preferrably rtorrent06:28
ohletmeinnowgoddok that answered my question :)06:28
mathijsohletmeinnowgodd: a bit more, it doesn't leak or anything, just uses a bit more, but my 8gb mem won't mind... it's at least full-featured06:28

TurboBeebut if you can't stand cli use ktorrent06:28
BusterHymenohletmeinnowgodd:yes06:28
fonzarellirelisys: you could install something else, like pcmanfm or thunar06:28
ohletmeinnowgoddok well for now though i already have a torrent running, and i wanna complete it before i go client splunking, can i add a list at once?06:29
relisysare they any good?06:29

Driv3r912Anyone here know where I can obtain the "Volume Monitor" application. Can I download it through apt-get or what? I haven't been able to find a solution.06:30
TurboBeemathijs, I've had nothing but slow downloads and problems with azureus... rtorrent was always ridiculously fast. I would literally cap out a 100mbit line with rtorrent if there was enough bandwidth needed or available06:31
TurboBeemathijs, but if azureus works good for you stick with what works :)06:32
n8tusermaxxist -> you should have used debootstrap method to install, you just then add packages you needed06:32
tech0007TurboBee: try deluge06:32
ohletmeinnowgoddwill utorrent be ported to nix?06:32
TurboBeeI've never heard of deluge I'll give it a try06:32
TurboBeeis it gui or cli?06:32
VelqzI need help creating a script to delete a file and then you can recover again06:32
tech0007TurboBee: gui...kinda like utorrent06:32
TurboBeeis it better than ktorrent?06:33
TurboBeein your opinion?06:33
tech0007TurboBee: i find deluge lighter (no java) and faster i use it all the time06:33
TurboBeeit looks pretty nifty06:33
TurboBeeI'll have to give that a try sometime over this long weekend06:34
mathijsTurboBee: well, I would like to switch, since I hate java. But like I said, I tried many clients but none of them had all features I wanted (dht, encryption), or they would just download stuff slower.06:34
ohletmeinnowgoddanyways, so i cant manually add a tracker list to running transmission torrents?06:34
tech0007TurboBee: i stick to gnome, so no i havent tried ktorrent06:34
TurboBeemathijs, have you tried deluge?06:34
TurboBeeoh I installed ktorrent on a gnome desktop XD06:34
TurboBeeI guess that was against the rules ;)06:34
tech0007TurboBee: nope, you're free to customize whatever you like it06:35
TurboBeeheh06:35
kernandoi ahve 8.04 installed on my computer how do i know if i should install 8.10?06:35
TurboBeeoh neat, deluge has a web ui too?06:35
PsiKloPxhow do i uninstall/remove flash?  Firefox says version 9 but Adobe says version 10.06:35
tech0007TurboBee: yup, thru plugins06:35
TurboBeenice06:35
TurboBeeI'm DEFINITELY gonna give tha try06:35
PsiKloPxtry to upgrade and it says later version installed.06:35
mathijsTurboBee: nope, never heard of, I'll have a look, although it's gtk/glade, and I prefer KDE.06:35
TurboBeethere was another client that had a web interface but the torrent downloads were super slow06:35
TurboBeeit was called transission I think06:36
TurboBeetransmission06:36
ohletmeinnowgoddanyways, so i cant manually add a tracker list to running transmission torrents?06:36
TurboBeeyeah transmissionbt06:36
TurboBeeI really liked it for it's web interface :/06:36
tech0007PsiKloPx: try reinstalling flashplugin-nonfree06:36
mathijsTurboBee: also, being written in python won't be an advantage for a torrent client I think, might be resource hungry06:36
mabusTurboBee: honestly, my favorite linux torrent client with a gui is utorrent + wine06:36
ohletmeinnowgoddyeah but thats not a nix client06:37
ohletmeinnowgoddturbo06:37
TurboBeemabus I have emotional problems with that06:37
TurboBeehaha06:37
nintendork32what version of gnome does ubuntu intrepid ibex use?06:37
TurboBeeI run utorrent on my vista computers, but anything linux needs native stuff imo06:37
ohletmeinnowgoddthats emulation... do the dev's of utorrent not wanna work on nix?06:37
tech0007transmission is too simple06:37
mabusTurboBee: rtorrent is better though, if you dont need a gui. it has a watch directory which is pretty cool.06:37
ohletmeinnowgoddturbo:agree tech:thats why i like it so far...but thi swhole "no adding of tracker list" kinda sucks06:38
tech0007ohletmeinnowgodd: just like i said06:38

nintendork32what version of gnome does ubuntu intrepid ibex use?06:39
rww's proprietary itnerfaces for GUI, so it's complicated to port to linux06:39
TurboBeeBusterHymen, but there is usually a good chance that the application you want to run on linux has a linux version as well.06:39

mib_dqdh1di want to mount the windows partition in my newly installed ubuntu06:43
mathijsBusterHymen: the thing about posix is that you can do kernels in _very_ different ways, but still have some api that most apps can work with.06:43
rwwBusterHymen: Yeah, Linux and OS X share some common interfaces. For example, their command-line stuff is similar (due to POSIX), so lots of command line stuff can be ported.06:43
RAdamsBusterHymen: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/POSIX06:44
mib_dqdh1dbut my OS is not detecting the MS partition06:44
rwwBusterHymen: And there are GTK interfaces for most common operating systems, including Windows and OS X. Same with QT. So GNOME and KDE apps can be ported to those OSes, with varying degrees of success.06:44
tech0007mib_dqdh1d: try 'sudo fdisk -l'06:44
BusterHymenOh okay, so POSIX is a standard more than an actual structure/architecture06:44
rwwBusterHymen: correct06:45
RAdamsYes06:45
mib_dqdh1dyes den tech000706:45
mathijsBusterHymen: it's just some standards that most unixes have agreed on, it's the api/interface that a kernel gives to applications to get stuff done. The way they implement it below that layer is their choice, as long as the applications don't have to worry about it.06:45

jscinozI am trying to install ubuntu in an encrypted LVM on my usb flash drive, because im doing some other hackery with this set up (two root lvms, one squashfs, one ext3, unioned with aufs, both inside dm-crypt) i couldnt use the automated encrypted root setup in the alternate installer. I have installed cryptsetup when chrooted into this installl, and run update-initramfs, cryptsetup, and all the modules are included, but conf/conf.d/crypt07:53
jscinozroot is not, and thus it doesnt ask for my password on boots, and drops to busybox because there is no root, any ideas what im doing wrong?07:53
gluonmannoah, of course. I'm not a noob in many respects. Just in creating icons.07:54

nick108I'm experiencing a weird mouse behaviour on Ubuntu Hardy Heron both under KDE and Gnome08:00
gluonmannoah, the crop tool can only give me the shape of a square. I need to crop the image to conform to the edges of an irregular shape in the .jpg. How can I do that?08:00
nick108when I write text the cursor always jumps to the current mouse position08:00
nick108which makes it almost impossible to write more than a couple of words without repositioning the curor08:01
noahgluonman: You could use the lasso tool to meticulously select the shape you want08:01
gluonmannoah, okay. I'll try to find that tool. I don't see it yet.08:01
mtinmannick108: Are your mouse and keyboard both USB?08:02
Luxorhm08:02
noahgluonman: or if it's a nice easy shape you could try the magic wand to see if it can auto select it for you08:02

hmw_pidginjamil_13579: tell me the output of "which apt-get"09:59
robfhmw_pidgin:  it looks to be something wonky with fuse though10:00
sug1whats the command for sleep?  as in wait?  EX: echo fun time && wait 260 && echo end10:00
robfhmw_pidgin: is there a list of the most recently updated files10:00
jamil_13579 sudo apt-get install blender10:00
jamil_13579sudo: apt-get: command not found10:00
macosug1: um, it's sleep10:00
robfcos thinking back I had it mounted and then later update notifier had a ton of things to update10:00
Copernichmw_pidgin: now that I think about it, I think it's a compiz-fusion problem, because it looks more like a redrawing issue(I also experience this sometimes in the file explorer)10:00
hmw_pidginsug1: sleep.10:00
robfand I'm wondering if it updated something that wasn't directly in use thus in memory but is called when I try to access it,  so it may have gotten versions all jacked up10:01
sug1hmw_pidgin:  maco: it's measured in seconds right?10:01
tech0007jamil_13579: try 'sudo /usr/bin/apt-get'10:01
hmw_pidginCopernic: verify it by turning off compiz. install "fusion-icon" for convenient switching10:01
Copernichmw_pidgin: or it's just my new nvidia beta drivers10:01
zirodaymaco: AFAIK you can't. The people in #midori are likely to know though :)10:01
robfso whatever is currently running is trying to call something no longer there.10:01

jamil_13579I think the same10:04
HalphaZhello10:04
tech0007hmw_pidgin: which is impossible in a standard ubuntu install10:04
zirodayjamil_13579: apt-get just doesn't remove itself. You must have run or done something to do that yourself. The easiest way is to reinstall10:04
HalphaZI need help, please10:04
zirodaymaco: sorry couldn't help you out more10:04
jamil_13579How can I reinstall10:04
hmw_pidginsug1: that would be 20 1/3 seconds. you have to use 20*60+30=sleep 123010:04
macoziroday: i didnt know there was a channel10:04
HalphaZMy audio doesn't work10:04
robfHalphaZ: why not?10:05
tech0007!install | jamil_1357910:05
ubottujamil_13579: Ubuntu can be installed in a lot of ways. Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation for documentation. Problems during install? See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CommonProblemsInstall. Don't want to use a CD? Try http://tinyurl.com/3exghs - See also !automate10:05
robfHalphaZ: what're you using10:05
zirodaymaco: by the way if its greyed out it means that it still has to be implemented (or thats what they told me last time)10:05
hmw_pidgintech0007: jamil_13579 techs' question is interesting. did you reboot your machine already, jamil?10:05
robftech0007:  having to reinstall the system is a bit overkill ja?10:05
HalphaZIt worked till I disinstalled a packet: alsa-drivcer-linuxant10:05
jamil_13579not yet10:05
HalphaZI used it in hardy to make the 56k modem work10:05
hmw_pidginjamil_13579: try now.10:05
robfhmw_pidgin: did ya see the ls -l of mnt?10:05
HalphaZbut with intrepid the modem doesn't work and I disinstalled the packet10:06
HalphaZnow audio doesn0t work and the packet doesn't install10:06
zirodaymaco: but the default ubuntu version is likely to be out of date, you might end up having to compile a newer or svn version10:06
hmw_pidginrobf: no?10:06

=== justin_ is now known as helloworld
helloworldanyone know if the the php gtk package is available on intrepid?10:20
mgolischhelloworld: packages.ubuntu.com ?10:20
jeancalvinhow can i tell whether my iPod connected to my ubuntu box is FAT or NFS format?10:20
mgolischit cant have nfs format10:21
mgolischnfs is a networkfilesystem10:21
helloworldits not there mgolisch.   bit surprising really.. php gtk has been around for ages.10:21
jeancalvinmgolisch: i see. does this mean my ipod is FAT?10:21
jeancalvinmgolisch: is there a way to confirm?10:22
jeancalvinmgolisch:  I check in Nautilus, and it says that the iPod is of "msdos" Filesystem type.10:22
korogiannosmgolisch: did you format it with windows or mac when you 1st got it?10:22
jeancalvinkorogiannos: you talking to me?10:22
Demios1I'm new to ubuntu, right now I have a problem getting a sound blaster to work, I can get sound off the on-board sound card but not the PCI one, they both seem to be installed but also under the system->administration->sound I can get test sounds only from the on-board10:22
jeancalvinkorogiannos: if so, my ipod has not touched a mac.10:23
korogiannosFAT then10:23
jeancalvinkorogiannos: is there a way to check via ubuntu/terminal?10:23
zirodayNeaai: how can a ethernet interface have a promiscuous mode? It just connects the the network its plugged into10:23
jeancalvinkorogiannos: and if an ipod has touched a mac, then it's NFS? but mgolisch says no iPod can be NFS.10:23
zirodayjeancalvin: pastebin the output of sudo fdisk -l10:24
korogiannosjeancalvin: not NFS, but... sec, let me google10:24
tech0007jeancalvin: try 'sudo fdisk -l'10:24
Neaaiziroday: It is put into promiscuous mode when I run software like iptraf and etherape10:24
korogiannosjeancalvin:HFS10:24
zirodayNeaai: ah right, sorry was being thick. I imagine that the overhead would be very small10:24
jeancalvintech0007: ziroday http://pastebin.com/m792b6a5d10:25
zirodayjeancalvin: I presume your ipod is 30 GB?10:25
jeancalvinthe reason why i'm trying to figure out my iPod's format is because  my iPod is SO SO slow when I use a / any program to access it.10:25
jeancalvinziroday: yes my ipod is 30 GB.10:25
zirodayjeancalvin: then that is fat3210:25
korogiannosjeancalvin: it's FAT10:25
tech0007jeancalvin: its FAT3210:25
korogiannosFAT32* ; p10:26
ardchoilleHow do folks make flash movies of their desktop like I see on youtube?10:26
jeancalvinkorogiannos: tech ziroday thank you. Thank yOu, and thank yoU.10:26
Neaaiziroday: so I guess that overhead is neglectable and won't matter for the interface's performance.10:26
jeancalvinis there a way to find out why my iPod is slow when I try to do anything with it with a program such as gtkpod?10:26
zirodayNeaai: that would be my opinion10:26
jeancalvinany little click i do in gtkpod makes my CPU go 100% usage.10:27

LoveGuruziroday: sorry for my bad.. i want to start "gparted" i want to resize my partition10:32
robf_hmw_pidgin: do you thnk it may be that I had ntfs partition mounted,   then updated,  and perhaps something normally called by ntfs_3g or fuse was changed to a conflicting version that was not preloaded in memory by it's callers?10:32
=== paul4605 is now known as paul68
ArgSTOPRefUpdateLoveGuru: Are you trying to install Ubuntu for the first time?  If you already went through the installer...  OK wait; can you describe what's on the hard drive right now, and what you want to do to it?10:32
robf_I see this as a possible happening as the other googled reasons behind it seem to be something crashing,  and me updating a load of stuff was the only difference today than other times and never befor has it crashed10:33
hmw_pidginrobf: tbh, i have no clue, but that sounds reasonable. it looks like someone forgot to delete a lock file.10:33
robf_hmw_pidgin:  yeah except a lock doesn't account for the enpoint error10:33
LoveGuruArgSTOPRefUpdate: well i do have ubuntu-server in that partition.. so how i made partition small.. now i want to resize that partition just.10:33
busfahrerMy sound in Ubuntu 8.10 (on a ThinkPad R61) mysteriously stopped working. Another distribution I have installed in parallel still has sound, I'm thinking that pulse might be the problem since the other distribution doesn't use it. Any ideas?10:33
hmw_pidginrobf_: some stuff restarted with another context?10:34
robf_I can see it there occurring had it simply been that I couldnt umount it,  but that wasn't the only problem10:34
robf_yeh10:34
robf_maybe on update some of the parts restarted and lost there place10:34

LoveGuruwhat is that?10:38
Neaaia1len: a psx iso remains a psx iso be it for ubuntu or anything else. I'd expect them to work regardless of platform. But getting those iso's is most probably illegal10:38

sug1i want the script file to pretend like it's typing.  i hope, if this works. I can have the script file wait for a short period and then i alt tab to my wine application (where i want the keys to be input into) and then have the script file type out "hi" or somethign and then I will see it within wine.11:02

[Sarai]Okay, so I am trying out ubuntu. I want to boot it from the cd for a while to see if I like it. However, I assume the boot disk doesn't include much in the way of software. Can I download software and use it (i.e. openoffice) even though the os isn't installed on my harddrive?11:04

huwenfengOK, what does that dir do? partical? did i loose all my dependency data?11:12
webasthere is only audacity audacious and adobe starting from .a letter..nothing else :\11:12
dns53frucki if you don't want everthing installed you should use the server install11:13
ardchoillehuwenfeng: that dir on my machine is empty and my system works fine11:13
jerknextdoorfrucki: or an alternate install that you can be more specific with11:13
huwenfengok, i am really a newbie in ubuntu11:13
ardchoillehuwenfeng: it wouldn't hurt to do:  sudo apt-get update11:13
fruckii just wondered if the minimal server edition is suitable for desktop systems11:13
fruckisaw smth like it uses some "server" kernel11:13
zirodayfrucki: the server version has the server kernel, optimised for server environments.11:14
ardchoillefrucki: server edition has no desktop environment, but you can install one11:14
huwenfengardchoille: there's some people saying  that we should use aptitude instead of apt-get? is that right?11:14
ardchoillehuwenfeng: that's up to you I suppose11:14
dns53frucki you can install the server kernel, the normal desktop kernel and a real time kernel11:15
fruckidoable for beginners?11:15
fruckidoes minimal server edition do network card configuration like the desktop edition does?11:15
fruckiiam directly connected to the cable modem - in case server edition automatically detects network card with dhcp i would install windows manager n stuff later11:16
dns53frucki it's a ncurses menu system, it asks the same kind of questions but allows more options, give it a try11:16
fruckithe server install you mean right, dns53?11:16
zirodayfrucki: if you are a beginner then you should use the desktop edition. Why exactly do you want the server version?11:16
dns53frucki yes server and live cd, it will detect dhcp or you can set things manually11:17
fruckiah, fine then.11:17
jerknextdoorfrucki: unless you have a reason to only install a few apps (then why are you using ubuntu and not damn small or a live cd?) then install it all and then uninstall what you don't want unless you can use a text based installer and only get what you want efficiently.11:17
webasthere is only audacity audacious and adobe starting from .a letter..nothing else :\ dns5311:18
fruckiafter using desktop ubuntu from 8.04 i found that i only need a few programs11:18
fruckiuninstalling all the programs is time consuming and annoying11:18

Cybertinusspeakman: because the 4,5 TB disk is already GPT. Well, actually, at the moment the disk is only 3 TB (it already is RAID6). It is a 6x 750 GB disk now. Next to it I've got 2 36 GB disks in RAID0. That RAID0 set is my OS RAID set. I'm thinking about trowing out the RAID0 and running only on the RAID6. Then I also expand my RAID6 set with another 2 750 GB disk, which gets me to the mentioned 8x 750 GB RAID6 set which has a storage of 4,5 TB.13:16
Cybertinus But I must move my OSses away from the RAID0 set. I've got 2 OSses atm: Gentoo and Windows XP x64 edition. Now I'm testing if Linux and Windows both can boot from a GPT partition. But installing Gentoo in a virtual machine takes to much time, so I'm installing Ubuntu into it instead. If Ubuntu can boot from GPT, so can Gentoo. But when I install Ubuntu in my virtual machine, it must create a GPT partition, otherwise my test will be13:16

JimmymaniacHi. Quick question: What's the process to manually (meaning, not with "apt-get source") to download and recompile a package? i mean, you get 3 files, a .dsc, a .diff and a .tar.gz. apt gets them all for you and patches it so you can do the ./debian/rules thing. What's the manual process for that?14:52
zebercorv : If I add the printer it creates the applet but it cannot connect to the printer14:52
zebercorv: it says in the first place: Idle and then Error: cannot connect14:53
Jimmymaniaci wanna get a package from jaunty and recompile it in intrepid, but dunno what's the manual process14:53
LjLJimmymaniac, uh, you merely download those three files manually, with wget or something...14:53

JimmymaniacLjL: So, what's the process then? I know how to do it with the current version ("apt-get source whatever" -> "cd whatever" -> ":/debian/rules binary") but dunno with the next version14:55

\slashi heard the  ubuntu login and startup sounds14:56
\slashbut music/video nothing14:56
LjLJimmymaniac: just add the source line of Jaunty *temporarily* to /etc/apt/sources.list, then "sudo apt-get update". also, you don't really need to call "rules" manually. if you don't need to modify anything, this is all that's needed: * add the jaunty source repository to /etc/apt/sources.list * sudo apt-get update ; sudo apt-get install build-essential * sudo apt-get build-dep <packagename> * sudo apt-get --build source <packagename>14:57
LjLJimmymaniac: then you can install the resulting binary .deb, and remove the line from sources.loist14:57
JimmymaniacLjL: Great! let's try it then :)14:57

corvzeber: It's sounds like a samba issue. (which is not my strong suit). can you set up a direct connection to the printer via JetDirect/IP as a temporary workaround?14:58

Trooper2008you still here LjL?15:11
LjLTrooper2008, i'm not very familiar with WiFi. however, a WiFi USB key will suffer no harm if you remove it. that's only a problem with *memory* keys.15:11
Trooper2008so why does xp has the option to safe unplug so you don't burn stuff when you remove it LjL btw isen't it strange 8.10 dosen't tell you what device is pluged usb vs all other linux distros ?15:12
paranoid_ndroidnow I can play mid files but can't get tuxguitar to make a sound15:12
Trooper2008i mean i would like it to reconise my usb devises and give me the safe unplug option as it did on older versions or other distros so how can i fix?15:12
]{53Trooper2008: The equivalent would be to unmount the device.15:13
LjLTrooper2008, i don't have 8.10, but my 8.04 definitely *does* tell me that a USB device is plugged, *if* it's a memory card. if it's not a memory card, it does not matter.15:13
Trooper2008yes so you advise me LjL to downgrade to 8.04 as 8.10 seems much buggy?15:14
LjLTrooper2008: ... no15:14
Trooper2008couse i can't have a distro that dosen't tell of usb devices lol15:14
LjLTrooper2008: you've still only talked about your WiFi key15:14
LjLTrooper2008: have you tried with a *memory* key?15:14
Trooper2008you know how to fix this as even the most crappy linuxbsd distros tell you usb devices and have safe unplug15:15
n8tuserTrooper2008 -> what made you decide to go to 8.10 upgrade anways?15:15

LjLdrevan_: xchat-gnome is more adherent to the GNOME interface guidelines, and is consistent with other GNOME programs. that's its advantage15:30

LjLTrooper2008: i don't know of any SIP "gateways" to network like ICQ or MSN, but i can't exclude they exist.15:30

JimmymaniacHi. Quick question: i upgraded to intrepid, and since then there's something weird happening to the titlebars. They look like they're unfocused until i alt-tab to something else and back, or i pass the mouse close to the maximize/close buttons. It's not damaging, but it's a bit annoying. Ideas?15:31
LjLTrooper2008: however, Ekiga doesn't really support *text* messaging, i fear15:31
JimmymaniacI suspect it has something to do with compiz, but dunno15:31
sebastian-.-* keiner deutsch? o.O15:31
LjLTrooper2008: it's similar to Skype, but it's not tied to a *single* server (although Ekiga does offer its own server)15:31
Trooper2008i see so to use it another person must have it it's limitated to linuxbsd users more or less i understand15:32
LjLTrooper2008: no15:32
Jimmymaniacgoogle only comes up with that old bug where titlebars disappeared, but that's not the case now.15:32
LjLTrooper2008: there are *many* (very many) SIP clients for Windows15:33

Specifically I'm after a persistant install with a FAT32 or NTFS partition that can both be read by windows box or by the installon the stick if booted. Also, I used the new tool in 8.1 and whilst I've not properly tested it, was disapointed to find it booted like the cd does. ie with the install screen and language selection15:50

When I reformatted my Windows machine and installed Ubuntu, the touchpad worked out of the box, but it's acting, for lack of a better term, a little nuts. The sensitivity seems a bit off (takes some fairly good pressure in the middle to start moving but the lightest touch of my middle finger on the touchpad edge sends the cursor every16:27

Slarttim234: not if you use pulseaudio16:51
gnuskooltim234: negative16:51
Slarttim234: not sure about alsa16:51
VSpikealsa can do it too16:52
chamunksIdleOne, wow isnt ubottu polite16:52
tim234hm whats the default output in ubuntu?16:52
tim234pulse or alsa?16:52
SlartVSpike: with the dmix thingy?16:52
Slarttim234: I think it's pulseaudio16:52
erUSULchamunks: on your home dir?16:52
Slarttim234: you can set it in system, preference, sound16:52
eighthourcan i get a hand with a ontouch 7300 scanner in intrepid....???....16:54
chamunkserUSUL, asound.conf should sit in my home directory?  I read a tutorial saying something about this file in /etc/16:54
tim234its set to automatically choose16:54
Slarttim234:  then I think it will use pulseaudio16:54
tim234problem mainly appears when listening to music (audacious) and playing world of warcraft through wine16:54
Slarttim234: I'm not sure if wine uses pulseaudio or goes straight to alsa16:54
VSpiketim234: There seems to be an issue somewhere - I've had adobe flash prevent pulse from accessing the sound device16:55
ugaguys, anybody using ubuntu as a server here?16:55
snuitjeyes16:55
VSpiketim234: there may be a problem when you have a mixture of oss, alsa and pulse apps but not sure what exactly16:55
VSpikeuga: yep16:55
tim234as my audio settings are "auto detect" - how to know what was chosen?16:56
tim234i know i changed some audio settings in wine to prevent audio-stutter in games16:56
ugasnuitje: VSpike: I need some users to be able to access this one remotely, and I don't want them to learn linux at all... so how to let them change the linux password through the web or something similar? (from windows boxes)16:56
compengi!info kernel16:56
ubottuPackage kernel does not exist in intrepid16:56
VSpikesnuitje: when you say access remotely, by what means?16:56
VSpikesnuitje: talking about file sharing?16:57
compengi!package kernel16:57
ubottuSorry, I don't know anything about package kernel16:57
Slarttim234: why not try setting them to something.. so you can test things out16:57
Slartcompengi: what are you looking for?16:57
Slartcompengi: the kernels are called linux-image-blablabla16:57
ugasnuitje: VSpike: I wanted to add the box to their windows network domain, but unfortunately sysadmins are clueless and I don't know the domain admin password. So I cannot use the domain authentication16:57
snuitjeuga: usermin or eBox can do that i think16:57
ugasnuitje: great, thanks16:57
Dominik1so this is like the 8th time that ubuntu crashed, loosing my work, wtf?16:58
tim234Slart, got it in audio settings, so i know should try to have use wine the same driver?16:58
compengiSlart, i'm looking for the kernel version currently in intrepid and that is in hardy16:58
chamunkserUSUL, would a quick ctrl+alt+backspace work for restarting PA?16:58

nb1My sound quit working in Ubuntu 8.10 while trying to set up a game with wine. I've removed wine and did an autoremove, have rebooted, but still don't have sound. I can't even get static with cat /dev/urandom > /dev/dsp. Sound works in Windows, so it has to be an Ubuntu issue. Does anyone have an idea?16:59
compengihttp://packages.ubuntu.com/ seems to be having some issues16:59
chamunkserUSUL, ok here goes nothing.16:59
tim234btw more common problem of mine: i have wine installed but accidently deleted the start menu entries, how can i now know what to type to reach its config?16:59
Slarttim234: see if you can make wine use pulseaudio.. if you can't, make it use alsa16:59
eighthouri have a onetouch 7300 scanner....the sane pages lists it as "good" but i can't find info on how to get it working....anyone help....???....16:59

UbunoobI just downloaded Ubuntu 8.10, burned it to a CD using Disk Utility, and booted from the CD by holding C. I got the menu to choose to install Ubuntu, Check the CD for defects, run the live CD, etc. but when I choose to run the live CD, after loading for what seems like a few minutes, the screen goes black after the loading bar is complete, and remains that way for well over half an hour. I tried 4 times unsuccessfully to boot up17:08
UbunoobOh, I'm on am iMac btw17:09
mars__i know17:09
ManarionI've been trying to run WoW in wine. After following the guide in the ubuntu wiki, everything works nice, except one fatal flaw: There's no sound!17:09
mars__i just .....17:09
Slartcompengi: the creation date for my kernel file is 2008-10-2217:09
forcumangManarion => you should install your computer sound drivers in ubuntu17:09
igorshi all...i'm running ubuntu on a macbook...the mac's builtin mic works well...but when i plug and external mic..the internal keeps working...anybody knows how could i swapt between them?17:09
Manarionhmm, ok.. but the sound seems to work nicely in ubuntu17:10
ne2k__igors: you need a mixer application probably.17:10
rmitchelligors: double click your volume icon in your tray, opening the mixor17:10
igorsne2k__, alsamixer is not enought?17:10
forcumangManarion => oh17:10
ne2k__igors: dunno, sorry17:11
forcumangmaybe you should try installing your sounds win32 drivers under wine "win32_driver.exe"17:11
igorsrmitchell, i'm on it...trying all kind of combinations...i've enabled everything i could i preferences17:11
forcumangWoW is being emulated under wine17:11
igorsrmitchell, and i've choosed "line" for "input source"17:11
mars__well ,i have installed acm ,a game ,but where to use it17:11
rmitchelligors: under the options, you should be able to change the input sources17:11
Manarioni just did :(17:11
forcumangah17:12
Slart*ahemulated*... wine.. abbreviation..17:12
rmitchellthats how my mac records from the jack17:12
red_eyeshello i wanted to ask something17:12
igorsrmitchell, i dunno why...but i have 3 input sources...i've just choosed "line" on them...17:12
Slartred_eyes: go ahead17:12
red_eyesok17:12

red_eyesi have a dell inspiron 850017:12
red_eyesand i want to install ubuntu17:12
forcumangwine is sad man17:12
Slartcompengi: good luck finding that kernel bug.. we don't need those =)17:12
rmitchelligors: you might want to make sure the switch 'line in as output' is unchecked, as well as 'mic as output'17:12
red_eyesi went to the dell site to download drivers first17:13
BlueBirdAnyone have any ideas as to why Ubuntu is stuck in a Dos like mode? I have just been trying to install compliz. Got as far as installing some via drivers. But now i'm stuck in dos.17:13
red_eyesbut there are no drivers for ubuntu17:13
Slartforcumang: it's wonderful considering what they've achieved..17:13
red_eyesdoes that mean i cant install ubuntu on this laptop?17:13
rootsnatchred_eyes: Dell I don't think provides drivers for linux/ubuntu17:13
alsadiI'm on ubuntu 8.04 I have mounted a remote sftp with nautilus, how to 'cd' there17:13
forcumangSlart => sorry, let me rephrase, wine is sad imo17:13
mars__help me please17:13
rootsnatchred_eyes: I am pretty sure you will be able to install ubuntu and everything should be fine17:13
red_eyesrootsnatch: so i cant install ubuntu here?17:13
rwwManarion: open winecfg, go to the Audio tab, and adjust the settings until you find something that works for you. You don't need to get win32 sound drivers or any of that...17:13
Slartred_eyes: usually linux either comes with drivers included or there are none =/17:13
udzguruhi there17:14
Slartred_eyes: have you tried just install it?17:14
igorsrmitchell, i can't find nothing about "output"...is it the same as "capture" ?17:14
alsadiI guess I found it thanks17:14
red_eyesi have tried it and it installs perfectly17:14
compengiSlart, the bug is there and i know where it is. i'm going to recompile the kernel and see. but knowing under which i had no problems is also good info to know and to trace the bug17:14
red_eyesbut my question is if it will need driver17:14
red_eyess17:14
rmitchelligors: what do you have in the 'switches' tab17:14
alsadiin ~/.gvfs17:14
rootsnatchred_eyes: well it probably wont17:14
buurhey.17:14
rwwred_eyes: Ubuntu comes with support for lots of hardware built-in. There's a good chance that you won't need to manually get any drivers at all.17:15
red_eyesso it will connect to my adsl just fine without needing any drivers17:15
Slartred_eyes: I don't know the dell model numbers by heart.. but try the live cd first.. then you can see how things work.. check wifi, graphics, networking.. and anything else you can think of..17:15
Kinghow do i execute a .bat file17:15

Kingif is for the game cube17:16
amikropHow can I choose, that when I have a CD inserted, nothing appears on the desktop?17:16
forcumangManarion => there are some things in windows programs that aren't compatible with linux, it's possible WoW's sound segment has some windows-independant needs17:16
udzguruarun_ : i did that already. there is no option for a 1900*1200 resolution17:16
Slartred_eyes: I have no idea how your adsl connection works.. my internet connection worked out of the box.. but it's plain ethernet17:17

fdudeanyone have any idea why firefox keeps jumping into "fullscreen"? it's not actual fullscreen though, it's just that it covers the upper and lower panels in gnome and hides the top "bar" on firefox so that the minimize, maximize and close buttons disappear..17:22
LjjjLBlueBird: there isn't one. the problem, most likely. is that X (which is the program that normally provides your graphical interface) isn't starting, because it can't get the video card drivers to work, so you only see the text-mode terminal (which is always there, just hidden behind X)17:22
nibsa1242bHow do I find out which CD drive I have17:22
LjjjLBlueBird: if X *is* running, then Ctrl+Alt+F7 will bring it up17:22
ne2k__nibsa1242b: read the label on it?17:22
forcumangfdude => you have to resize your firefox window17:22
igorsrmitchell, cool...i really need to fix this issue with my mic...the builtin is not perfect for skype...17:23
fdudei have to click f11 to get it into true fullscreen so that i can "unmaximize"17:23
fdudeo17:23
LjjjLBlueBird: otherwise, "sudo invoke-rc.d gdm start", see what it does, and check the X logs to find out what the problem is (in /var/log/Xorg.0.log)17:23
rmitchelligors: google 'macbook ubuntu' and the first result is a great tutorial17:23
BlueBirdCtrl+Alt+F7 simply gives me a blank screen, The last thing I did was install the Via drivers (I've a Webbook running a Via graphics card).17:23
BlueBirdSeems it hasn't loaded properly then. :/17:23
Cluberi gives me a boner17:23
fdudethanks forcumang17:23
LjjjLBlueBird: *how* did you install those?17:23
forcumangfdude => then take away your top toolbar for a second, move firefox down, and maximize it17:23
forcumangnp17:23

racquad<forcumang> me too. there must be an apt-get somewhat to configure it17:26
rmitchelli have always just 'dpkg-reconfigre xserver-xorg'17:26
LjjjLBlueBird: my condolescences then, you've probably messed up your Ubuntu system quite badly by installing drivers that way :(17:26
LjjjLBlueBird: but see if "sudo apt-get --reinstall install xserver-xorg-video-via" might fix it17:26

LjjjLnibsa1242b: hdparm -i /dev/whatever17:27
Dominik1ok so everynow and then randomly my system will go awall and every key I press triggers a screen shot... this will result in a crash (200 plus screen shots)17:28
nibsa1242bLjjjL: tnx17:28
MeophistWhat is a proper way of uninstalling Unbuntu?17:28
Dominik1then if I unplugg the keyboard and plug it back in the system crashes17:28
CluberMeophist: smashing up your hard drive17:28
Meophist...17:28
SliMMMeophist: or perhaps just formatting it17:28
nibsa1242bMeophist: just format your hard drive.17:28
fdudep17:28
MeophistI don't quite want to do that.17:28
chamunksThis is terrible i really want my audio to work again blah.  Why did 8.04 work but not 8.10  this makes no sense.17:29
Dominik1soo ?  is ubuntu just failing misarbly with my hard ware and I should go back to XP? (aside from poor performance of the open office)17:29
m031n8tuser, im using the iwlagn driver but all i get i wireless G performance17:29
LjjjLnibsa1242b: or "sudo lshw -C disk"17:29
SliMMMeophist: ok, only the partition you installed Ubuntu on17:29
bastid_raZorMeophist; install something overtop it. which will require you to format the partition17:29
MeophistUbuntu installed itself on a hard drive that actually have information I want to keep17:29
MeophistInstead of the hard drive with crap on it17:29
chamunksThis is so terribly upsetting.17:29
MeophistWould it be safe to do that?17:29
n8tuserm031-> come again?17:29
fdudeMeophist, backup that information17:29
fdudeMeophist, then format17:29
bastid_raZorMeophist; that would be your fault for not putting it on the correct partition17:30
Dominik1Meophist: I suggest not messing with it untill you have backed up your data, im sorry17:30
Cluber"sudo lshw -C disk" works a treat.17:30
=== nori69 is now known as Mr
symonsMeophist: throw your data on another hdd and then format17:30
SliMMMeophist: yes, it would be safer to backup the information first, but bad things happen all the time, it's a matter of luck17:30
MeophistUbuntu seems to be on its own partition but...17:30
MeophistI didn't know Ubuntu would install on that hard disk.17:30
BlueBirdHmm.17:30
forcumangis there a way to 'find' on a full filesystem?17:30
fdudeMeophist, seems like you're done. if you installed ubuntu on a partition with files you wanted to keep, they're gone now17:30
BlueBirdSeems this is a massive mess.17:30
=== Mr is now known as Guest11377
Dominik1I don't know if you would get rid of the boot loader..17:31
MeophistNo, Ubuntu installed itself in a new partition17:31
BIG-Dhey i have a question17:31
LjjjLfdude: unless he chose the default options of shrinking the existing partition and making a new one without losing data.17:31
SliMMMeophist: so format that partition17:31
m031n8tuser, all i get is 54 Mb/s to my wireless n router it should support about 130 Mb/s17:31
Dominik1fdude: hes got a hard drive with a windows partition I suppose that has data he wants to keep and then the ubuntu partition17:31
mtinmanHey everybody, happy Thanksgiving!17:31
Dominik1sliMM: will that get rid of the boot loader?17:31
BlueBirdHmm17:31
BlueBirdSeems i Dlk'd a new kernal and the drivers are outdated.17:32
BlueBirdFFs17:32
maxbaldwinMeophist: do you have another os to put on that conputer?17:32
n8tuserm031-> do you really honestly expect that rate on the internet?17:32
Dominik1my thanksgiving isn't too happy, UBUNTU just crashed causing me to loose my work17:32
BIG-Dis there a way to use my wirless card if the card doesent have linux drivers?17:32
forcumangDominik1 => if you want to get rid of the boot loader, you need to override it with a new MBR (master boot record)17:32
MeophistDominik1: No, The hard drive with the windows partition was the one I wanted to install Ubuntu on but it installed on the other hard drive17:32
rmitchellbig-d: what card do you have?17:32
MeophistIt didn't give me an option of which hard drive to install it on17:32
m031n8tuser, no but in my local network at least17:32

n8tuserm031-> and what have you accomplish in such?17:33
forcumangMeophist => it let's you choose 'largest continuous free space' or 'manual', both of those options let you select what you need17:33
BrightLibraMux means multiplex17:33
forcumangthe other two may override17:33

Meophistforcumang: I'm not really sure.17:35
SlartManarion: xkill and click on it..17:35
forcumangMeophist => do all your HDD's have little thin cables or really wide flat thin cables17:35
SlartManarion: or use kill in a terminal.. or the system monitor .. or htop.. or pkill..17:35
forcumang?17:35
MeophistOne seems to be thin and the other really wide17:35
BrightLibraKill is nice...17:35
neoDiteDoes anyone use the mobile internet dongels? I currently use the one on "three" and want to install ubuntu on my laptop too, but this is the only thing thats got me worried17:35

forcumangDark_Wolf => obviously it's not your net, so your repos have to be misconfigured17:54
vvvplz help17:55
Dark_Wolf:/17:55
Guillematari, OH, bad news I guess then. This happened to me with the previous network-manager... with this new one, I can setup all the things I need for my vpnc case.17:55
Dark_Wolfany ideas?17:55
Slartvvv: just ask your question.. if noone answers just repeat the question every 5 minutes or so.. don't just say "anyone?" or "plz help"17:55
SierradumpI am still sort of new to Linux/Ubuntu... I usually get all of my software through package manager - is there good support for 64bit applications now?17:55
forcumangDark_Wolf => unless you have <128KBs net17:55
forcumangthat would explain the 10KB/s17:55
m031Meophist, ndiswrapper isnt that difficult17:55
vvvok boss17:55
ComradeHazvvv change fstab then?17:55
MeophistIn device manager? I think it's this "802.11g/b Wireless LAN Client Adapter"17:55
ComradeHaznot really sure what you're saying17:56
Slartvvv: use the time to google and search the ubuntu forums.. also try improving your question.. make sure all the info is in there.. make it easy for people to answer without interrogating you17:56
rmitchellsierradump, support is good, pacakges from the package manager are 64 bit, or use the 32 bit libraries, so no worries there17:56
Guillematari, have to go... good luck....17:56
vvvalso how can i format the disk?17:56
Meophistm031: I'm having trouble finding the darn thing.17:56
ComradeHaz[17:56:49] <vvv> also how can i format the disk? «--- gparted17:56
m031Meophist, manufacturer?17:56
rmitchellsierradump, you can even chose 64 bit on getdeb.net17:56
MeophistLet me look at the box17:56
mkerI set up sftp on ubuntu 8.10 according to http://passthejager.org/blog/?p=102 and started with "sudo /etc/init.d/ssh start" but I can't connect to the server. Tried gftp but that didn't work, I'm not sure if it's because I set it up wrong or because I just don't know how to connect to it. Can someone help me out?17:56
Dark_Wolfforcumang: I'm on 31.1 Kbps17:57
SlartSierradump: the only thing I've found that doesn't work is the security software for my bank.. they only offer that as a 32-bit plugin for firefox..17:57
nafAnyone? On Ubuntu 8.10, with input-hotplug, how do you set the mouse protocol?17:57
forcumangDark_Wolf => that explains the 10KB/s connection...17:57
* Meophist has somehow found the box for another wireless pci card...17:57
forcumangwhat is the problem...17:57
MeophistFound it, it's the Cyber Station Wireless PCI Adapter NW-541117:58
forcumangDark_Wolf => the reason your install is not going past 10KB/s, is your net connection, nothing else.17:58
Dark_Wolfyes... what IS the problem?17:58
nafAnyone? On Ubuntu 8.10, with input-hotplug, how do you set the mouse protocol?17:58
forcumangDark_Wolf => your connection is17:58
ufahiiii17:58
Sierradumprmitchell - when you say use the 32bit libraries - does that mean I can run 32bit applications on my 64bit OS?17:58
ufaEverytime I reboot, ubuntu changes my MAC address17:58
Dark_Wolfforcumang: I don't care about speed. it's the fact that nothing connects that bothers me17:58
ufawhy?17:58
Slartnaf: one repeat every 5 minutes is enough.. if someone knows they will answer.. if they don't repeating it every minute won't help17:59
Dark_WolfI can't get into the synaptic17:59
=== Mustinet is now known as Mstnt
Dark_Wolfor get restricted drivers17:59
rmitchellsierradump, generally, yes.17:59
forcumangDark_Wolf => seeing as irc takes less than 1KBs to use, it could just be the fact that your connection line doesn't reach the repos17:59
SierradumpCool so I will go 64bit !   Now the question is do I go 8.10 or 8.04?  Is 8.10 stable yet?17:59
m031Meophist, looks like a realtek card17:59
ufai cannot see a reason to linux change my ip without explicit command to do so18:00
rmitchellsierradump, i use 8.10, no problems18:00
SlartSierradump: try the live cd before you decide.. but I'd go with 8.1018:00
private_metahi. I'd need help with putting apache into autostart. it seemed to have worked before i made the upgrade to intrepid, but afterwards it didn't work anymore... can someone give me a hint there?18:00
SierradumpI am going to be travelling and don't want to run into any issues once abroa18:00
LjjjLufa: the *IP*, or the *MAC address*? those are two entirely different things18:00
ufathe MAC address18:00
Dark_Wolfforcumang: I've always had access to repos at this speed18:00
rmitchellsierradump, if you have any interst in mulitple monitor stuff, 8.10 has the best support i've seen18:00
ufaLjjjL >> Everytime i reboot, my ISP kdo not connect me18:00
detratedid ubuntu 8.10 change their default sans serif font for web?18:00
Slartdetrate: not that I've noticed..18:01
SierradumpDo you all use Gnome?  I kind of like KDE -> I know Gnome is the default for Ubuntu... Any opinions on this? Is it just preference?18:01
SlartSierradump: try kubuntu18:01
detratewell then... something weird has happened18:01
LjjjLufa: perhaps you have a network card that doesn't really have a fixed MAC, but rather chooses one at random? there should be commands to enforce a given MAC address available in Ubuntu18:01
Sierradump(rmitchell -> this is a laptop so not sure if I will ever get around to multiple monitors!)18:01
rmitchellsierradump, i've used both, i prefer gnome, you can install both if you want. install ubuntu first, then install kubuntu-desktop18:01
ufaLjjjL >> A wasnt aware that exist a nic with "changing MAC"18:01
LjjjLufa: i think there are some, not entirely sure though18:02
maxbaldwinSierradump: KDE is default in Kubuntu, which I use. Yeah, preference mostly.18:02
rmitchellkubuntu-desktop is a package, incase that wasn't clear18:02
m031Meophist, and ubuntu doesnt recognize the card at all?18:02
LjjjL!info macchanger | ufa, in any case, here's a possibility (i think there are others possily better ones)18:02

forcumangDark_Wolf => the only advice i can give on that, is reboot, sorry i couldn't help18:02
SierradumpGreat!  Hey I really appreciate the info guys!  Gonna go d/l 8.10 64bit and give it a shot.  I have about 7 days before I leave so I will play with it to make sure I like it!18:02
rmitchell_cb, check out nvu18:02
Slart_cb: try.. hmm.. what's it called.. blue something.. bluefish18:03
SierradumpSo I can get Kubuntu-Desktop (the package) and switch back/forth between gnome and kde?18:03
Meophistm031: I don't know if it doesn't recognize it or not, but it doesn't look like it could use it.18:03

rmitchellsierradump, apps just use the libraries, i use amarok on gnome with no problems18:03
SierradumpAlright I am going to start this install now.18:03
SierradumpOOOOHHHH 1 more question.18:03
m031Meophist, http://rtl8180-sa2400.sourceforge.net/ might work with your card18:04
SlartSierradump: good luck.. we'll be here if you have more questions18:04
SierradumpRight now I only have the MK-36 processor in my laptop (single core 64bit 2.0ghz) I ordered the TL-60 and it should be here Saturday or Monday...18:04
SierradumpTL-60 is dual core, 64bit...18:04
_cbIs there a way I can see what there is info on? Couple of times people have type info... and I have gottenr really good info.18:04
LjjjLufa: see if you have errors logged like in this thread http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-526878.html18:04
SierradumpIf I install with the Single core MK-36  processor do I have to REINSTALL when I get the dual core, or can I just pop it in and go?18:04
Slart_cb: !info works for all packages in intrepid.. same as in synaptic18:04
m031Meophist, the support for many other chipsets are excellent, try that driver or ndiswrapper with your xp drivers18:05
SlartSierradump: I think it will work for both...  as long as both cpu's are 64-bit..18:05
vvvSierradump: GUI? it is not related with processor18:05
forcumangSierradump => it really depends, if you want to utilize all of your 64bit processor, you should reinstall with x64 ubuntu18:05
_cbWhat I mean is that when someone type !info blue fish | _cb they are directing the bot to give info on blue fish. How can I see what other topics does the bot have information on?18:05
forcumangif you don't care much about maxing out your 64bit, stay with 3218:06
vvvSierradump:GUI? it has nothin to do with processor18:06
MeophistI would like to try ndiswrapper, but the help that was included in the OS didn't quite pan out.18:06
rmitchellsierradump, when you install, put you're /home/ in a seperate partition, that way if you have to reinstall, you don't lose your data18:06
kitche_cb: by looking at the brain of the bot hang on a sec18:06
Slart_cb: !info just fetches information on packages.. there are lots of other factoids.. try !help or !bot18:06
rmitchelli recommend doing that with any install, saved my data countless times18:06

_cbI just love this channel ;) thanks!18:07
vvvi mean- changing ur processor wont affetct18:08
SierradumpYes, right now I have single core 64bit processor but am getting a DUAL core 64bit processor in a day or 2... Just wondering if I can install now and then put new processor in, or if I have to REINSTALL after a processor upgrade?18:08
forcumangSierradump => no.18:08
Meophistm031: I downloaded it, how would I use it once I get into ubuntu?18:08
forcumangSierradump => you should not have to reinstall18:08
rmitchellsierradump, after you throw in the new processor, just check system monitor and see if its showing both of your cores, if so, you're set18:08
SlartSierradump: if you moved from 32-bit to 64bit you'd have to reinstall.. but just changing single core to dual core is alright afaik18:08
vvvif u r upgrading-> it always works18:09
Dark_Wolfanyone have any clue why my computer doesn't find repos?18:09
jgbI tried playing a rmvb file in Mplayer by setting the codecs to Realvideo in Mplayer's settings.  Now _every_ player, mplayer, vlc and kmplayer(with xine/totem whatever) plays ALL video in a washed-out pastel colour.  Any ideas what is causing this? (I have changed the setting back)18:09

Slartforcumang: as far as I know18:11
forcumangah.18:11
rmitchelljgb: in totem's settings, you can adjust the saturation, brightness, etc, i think this could be your problem, there is a 'reset to defaults' button18:11
Meophist...I just noticed that m031 disconnected :(18:12

bombshelter13If i have the packages I use installed on one machine and want to duplicate the same package selection to another machine with a fresh install, what's the easiest way to do this?18:13
Slart!clone18:13
ubottuTo replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « aptitude --disable-columns --display-format '%p' search '?installed!?automatic' > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo xargs aptitude --schedule-only install < my-packages ; sudo aptitude install » - See also !automate18:13

gnutronJuak: read your /var/log/messages or syslog for clues possibly... as root18:21
forcumangit was so cheap, heh18:21
superkiw2oh and another thing: I use trickle to control download/upload speed of a program. But the trickle program uses 100% of the cpu. I use cpulimit on trickle to make it not use 100% but, it shouldn't use 100% cpu. WHat's wrong?18:21
rmitchellmeophist, copy if from the cd to your hard drive, you should copy the .INF file18:22
bombshelter13Slart: Maybe I could make a modified version of that command to create a list of the packages that are not installed on the first machine, instead of the ones that are installed... and then use that file to uninstall the same packages on the second machine18:22
MeophistI've tried that, but simply copying the inf file didn't make my wireless card work.18:22
nb1superkiw2: maybe this would do it: sudo chmod -x /etc/init.d/gdm , or use one of ubuntu's configuration programs to disable it18:22

linnyhi this might be a really silly question but is it possible to change file permissions recursively , atm i only know how to change one file at a time ?18:30
bastid_raZorSierradump; clunky, no.. you can put conky on the widget layer.18:30
Slartlinny: there is a -R switch18:30
gnutronlinny: chmod -R18:30
plantttph8: we use it at work, I still use courier for my hosting company18:30
rmitchellmeophist, all you need to do is install the ndiswrapper-common package, but if you don't have net access, that could prove difficult18:30
Slartlinny: man chmod will show you the way to enlightenment =)18:30
nb1linny: chmod has a -R option for recursive use18:30
MeophistI think I managed that somehow.18:30
plantttph8: mostly because it was setup a few years ago18:30
n8tuserplanttt-> what devices you have in between ?18:30
linnyi was using small r :) thanks guys18:30
rmitchellmeophist, so you have it installed?18:30

rmitchellmeophist, you need ndiswrapper, but there are two packages i think: ndiswrapper-common and ndiswrapper-utils18:33

rmitchellmeophist, i do not. i think i've found a website with the packages on it though, if you can download them from the machine your using irc on, and get them to the machine with no wireless18:35
Meophistrmitchell: It's the same machine...18:35
IceMaxwould anybody like to help me? i just installed a bunch of updates for ubuntu 8.04 64-bit, and now its hanging when i try and boot it. it seems to get stuck loading kernel modules and/or loading manual drivers18:35

alexi5for virtualizting solaris 10 and windows xp (not to put in a production environment) on a Ubuntu 8.10 host is a athlon x2 5400 CPU good enough or have i enetered the realm where a quad core is needed ?18:36

cappizi i have a ssh server on a network 10.0.0.0 ith IP (NAT internal) i can connect to it externaly. And i want to ssh into it and do a ssh tunnel so i can connect to 10.0.0.138 (another machine on the NAT'ed network)18:36
cappizim sitting on the outside of the network18:36
cappizhow would i make the tunnel?18:36
Slartalexi5: I'd say it depends on what you'll be doing with the "guests"18:36
lorenzohi, how can i transfer the phonebook on my cellphone to ubuntu via bluetooth for a backup?18:36
Slartalexi5: just running the systems on idle won't use much power18:37
bassoin #club-ubuntu18:37
rmitchellmeophist, thats fine too, just download them, and put them on a usb stick or whatnot, copy them to the linux... but it'll be hard to talk you through it if you can't be on irc while you're working on it18:37
Meophistplanttt: Well, I'm talking about right now for me. This driver caused me alot of trouble even in windows, but it's working for me in windows right now.18:37
gnutronIceMax: the machine was probably busy when you re-booted and now it's confused, try  a safe boot and let it run awhile. linux runs better the longer it runs.18:37
bassohey thx man!18:37
Meophistrmitchell: Which is why I want to know everything before I... wait a second.18:37

Driv3r912I have Ubuntu 8.10 installed on my machine. I was just wondering where I can obtain the volume monitor program again? I tend to use it when working with audio and some video applications.18:38
Driv3r912Can I do an apt-get install or do I need to do something else?18:38

Slartalexi5: no worries then.. go ahead18:39
alexi5Slart: i have already decided to get 8GB of ram18:39
forcumanglinux 32bit still does the same as windows 32bit with the ram18:39
forcumangi guess ill be installing x64 soon18:39

Driv3r912It was the volume monitor you can access via the Edit Menus in Ubuntu.18:39
Slartforcumang: yes.. you can use PAE on the server kernel.. but not on the desktop kernel18:40

Meophistrmitchell: Done18:42
forcumangwtf18:43
rmitchellmeophist: you in ubuntu on the machine?18:43
gnutronIceMax: not that i know of, i'm afraid. you might try a long wait, or possibly boot with parameters to avoid the bug. i'm not the expert you need.18:43
forcumangmy ubuntu is using 1.2gb of ram?18:43
forcumanguhh18:43
nb1forcumang: well I know Windows reserves the upper 1GB or so for I/O mapping, I don't know where the line is in Linux18:43
forcumangthats not cool lol18:43
Meophistrmitchell: what?18:43
Driv3r912nbl: If you have a 64bit cpu, then it would be your best bet to get the 64 bit version of Ubuntu. That way, you have full advantage of your system. There isn't much difference between 32 and 64 bit, except 64 bit supports systems that have 64-bit processors and more memory allocation.18:43
nb1I'm not the one having a problem though, I was answering to alexi5!18:43
IceMaxok, i'll try waiting it out18:43
n8tuserIceMax-> what is the issue?18:44
rmitchellmeophist: you have two machines now, right? boot into ubuntu on the one with no wireless, and copy those two files over there18:44
Slartforcumang: unused memory is wasted memory18:44
rmitchellicemax: you can move your /home/ directory to a seperate partition, thus saving most of your data18:44
Slartforcumang: windows and linux see it differently18:44
MeophistYeah, wait just a sec.18:44
nb1Driv3r912: I am testing Ubuntu 64 on another partition, I just have not yet switched to it entirely18:44

CarlFKwhat is good for video web cam chat?18:45

nb1Driv3r912: I was a little annoyed that ZSNES was not packaged for Ubuntu 64 though, then again, the i386 package does not work out of the box either so I suppose its no matter :p18:46
forcumangah i see.18:46
Slartforcumang: it will give the memory back if an application wants it18:46
IceMaxrmitchell: i have no idea18:46
Slartforcumang: I run my server on 512 MB.. it's barely using 90MB of those.. so it can be lean if it has to18:46

nb1Driv3r912: Yeah, I know, I just have not bothered with it yet. I still boot to 32-bit Ubuntu for most tasks because I already have all the software I use on it18:48
steel_ladyhello! on my old laptop I could call with skype but now I have the sound problem. please help!18:48
IceMaxrmtichell: the last 3 things is says are setting the system clock, loading kernel modules..., and then loading manual drivers18:48
rmitchellmeophist, copy those files to the ubuntu computer, click and install18:49
Driv3r912nbl: Sounds good. That's the differences between the two versions of Ubuntu however. x64 supports systems with 64-bit processors and memory allocations above 2GB (I think for Ubuntu).18:49
rmitchellicemax: how long does it hang for, eternity?18:49
nb1Driv3r912: I read an article with Ubuntu 32 and 64-bit benchmarks, and about the only thing 64-bit did faster was compiling, encoding, etc.... most other tasks/applications ran no faster on it18:50
IceMaxrmtichell: seems like it, longest i let it sit was abotu 5 mins18:50
MeophistInstalled. Next?18:50
Driv3r912nbl: True. It's the same thing. The kernel will just support the 64-bit processors. It's not going to be any faster or better than the 32-bit. Same thing, different computer equipment support.18:51
rmitchellmeophist, is your .INF file saved on the ubuntu computer?18:51
Meophistrmitchell: Yes.18:51
TokenBaddoes ubuntu support sli video cards?18:51
rmitchellmeophist: sudo ndiswrapper -i /your/driver.inf18:52
MeophistIn Terminal, right?18:52

MeophistFile manager?19:04
rohanbastid_raZor: that seems to much to take care of, why can't the package manager do it for itself19:04
Slartatarinox: yes19:04
hypa7iaatarinox: it's reasonably easy to do, you'll just need to reinstall grub afterwards19:04
sdlwofnaw, i was doing alot of rm stuff, and when i want to do mv, i typed rm /filename19:04

MeophistIs File manager the Windows Explorer?19:04
rohanbastid_raZor: i am basically confused with 2.6.24-22 and 2.6.24-22.12 what causes an upgrade in-place and what installs a new package19:05
bastid_raZorrohan; it is wise to have at least one other kernel to boot in to.19:05
rmitchellmeophist: in windows, yes, in gnome, its called nautilus19:05
rmitchellmeophist: same concept19:05
Trooper2008hello is there anyone expert here with firestarter preferences ?19:05
rohanbastid_raZor: but a kernel + related packages take up 200mb of disk space!19:05
MeophistOk, I'm in media19:05
Trooper2008i need someone to help me with firestarter19:05
rmitchellmeophist, what folders are in there?19:06

Trooper2008ok gnuskool thanx19:06

gnutronrohan: new packages are installed only when you request them or if an update requires them.19:07

rmitchellmeophist then in terminal, your command is "sudo ndiswrapper -i /media/cdrom/path/to/driver.inf19:07
rmitchellmeophist, without the opening quote19:07
Meophistthe problem is the that path includes a folder called "V1.01 driver and utility install(PCI&CARDBUS)"19:08
bastid_raZorrohan; linux-image-2.6.24-21 should be the one you're using (if you're still using 8.04) click complete removal of the ones you don't want. it will remove the associated packages.19:08
rohanbastid_raZor: ok, thanks. yes i am still using 8.0419:08

Ryoushizulu34s1 - after you've hit new item, just type the desired name, and then enter the desired command, and from now on every time you hit that in the menu, it'll execute that command.20:42

mkernothing12345, in the puppylinux channel perhaps? :)20:51
justizinthis is basic problem solving, you changed a variable, observed a result, i can't speak for what *should* be, but it seems worth considering that you might change that variable.20:51
quantumkennybrazuca:  the package is not available20:51
nothing12345Im not using it xD20:52
nothing12345just wanted to know^^20:52
justizinif reinstalling awn doesn't fix it, then maybe something was tickled in the process of removing it, it's not an answer, but it might be a step toward one.20:52

feddozzjustizin>> no. now awn and compiz don't work. Itried to reinstall them many times but nothing. something strange it doesn't pick up the dependencies. if I uninstall let's say compiz-core it just removes that one leaving all the packages related. it seems strange to me but i'm not that expert20:53

justizinfeddoz: dpkg --purge somepackagename will remove things like config files and other bits which aren't technically owned by the package, but, say, in a directory created by the package.  i forget the exact criterion for purging data, but it tries to get rid of stuff that isn't removed on uninstall and prevents a reinstall from fixing anything..20:56

Bruceeosotogari your files? and get administrators permission21:17
mkerosotogari, gksudo nautilus, then you go to the trash folder and delete it.21:17
kitty_alex_mayorga, you'll probably want to get an old windows install, cause not much fits on a 4GB hd anymore, you can try stripped down linux distros, but then they also won't be able to do anything, depending on what you actually want out of the computer, i'd an nt kernel21:17

s0l1dsnak3123Coggz: do you mean in Fstab?21:32
Chaotic_DescentWhy can't I upload this JPG through FireFox? Firefox doesn't show the file existing.21:33
Coggzs0l1dsnak3123: well however i cn21:33
mkermartin__, I've gotten that sometimes and then I go to appearance -> visual effects and choose nothing and then normal so it switches to metacity and then back to compiz as the window manager. that works for me.21:33
SierradumpEarlier it was suggested to me to make my /home/ folder live on a separate partition so that if I have to reinstall OS I don't lose my files... How exactly should I do that?  When installing Ubuntu I suppose I should not choose "guided - use entire disk" ???21:33
CelticLordnuit!!21:33
s0l1dsnak3123does it automatically load, Coggz, or does it load when you boot up, or just when you mount it?21:33
Chaotic_DescentI think these might be files I copied over from a Windows partition. but I can't find any settings wrong with them... they did have the ownership of my group set to read only, but the user to read & write. I changed that to the same as my other files, but it didn't help.21:33
jabagaweeanyone have the 3945abg intel wifi card?21:34
mkerSierradump, You choose manual and make a partition called / (mine used to be 6-8 gb I think) and a partition for /home with the rest of the harddrive space.21:34
Coggzs0l1dsnak3123: just when i mount, but i think i tried to make it automount and that messed up mounting it through gnome21:34
s0l1dsnak3123hmm21:35
SierradumpMker ---> do programs get installed to /home or "/"  just want to make sure I leave enough room to install lots of programs!!!21:35
mkerjabagawee, just ask what it is you're wondering, not if anyone has the same hardware or uses a certain program.21:35
martin__mker, seems to work for me too, thanks very much:)21:35

jabagaweetrue, but i'm just asking _anyone_ who has it on how they got it to work21:36
mkerSierradump, they'll go to / so give it a bit more space then. I give it so little because I don't install very much.21:36

Coggzs0l1dsnak3123: http://pastebin.com/d5e0b595921:36
Sierradumpmy HD is 100GB.  I would like about 50GB for my files... So do I make /home 50GB and "/" also 50GB?21:37
s0l1dsnak3123Coggz, thanks :)21:37
mkerSierradump, Doing what I suggested will give you one partition for everything under /home and one partition for *everything* else. 50gb for installed programs sounds like very much to me though.21:37
s0l1dsnak3123Coggz, what is the name of the device you are trying to mount (the /dev/* name)21:37
Sierradumpokay so maybe I should keep 70-80GB for my /home?  Thanks for the help!21:37
mkerSierradump, Applications -> Accessories -> Disk Usage Analyzer, that might give you an idea of how much is used.21:38
Sierradump1 more question:  I have a nVidia chipset on my laptop (which I am installing ubuntu 8.10) and it utilizes the 6150 GeForce GO integrated graphics.21:38
mkerSierradump, Do "scan filesystem" and it will show you some nice info.21:38
SierradumpI know I will need the proprietary nVidia graphics driver (version 190?)21:39
Chaotic_DescentHow would I search for this problem on the internet? that Firefox isn't showing files that are shown through the regular file browser.21:39
SierradumpBUT what about the onboard SATA controller etc...21:39
VistaUsersup21:39
SierradumpIts an nVidia Sata controller too?21:39

Sierradumprmitchell -> I have an nVidia chipset and know I will need to manually download the proprietary nVidia graphics drivers (i think current version is 190) but what about the chipset related things?  My Sata controller, and NIC are also nVidia?  Does the proprietary nvidia driver pack come with other drivers ; not just video related drivers?21:41

ArdRighIs anyone here running Ubuntu on an ATI HD4870?21:44
SierradumpJust taking earlier advice to create a dedicated /home partition so I can reinstall OS if i have to and not lose my files!21:44
rmitchellsierradump, i'd give "/" about 10-15 GB, it doesn't need to be big, just system files in there. Then use the rest for /home/, thats where all your big files, movies, music, etc will go21:45
Chaotic_DescentIs there some kind of like... filename that makes files invisible to Firefox? Like maybe if it ends in _3.JPG ?21:45
Sierradump(and as for driver related questions - just want to get all the info I need out of vista hardware/device manager before I wipe the partition in case I need to get any model#'s out of there for drivers later...)21:45
Coggzs0l1dsnak3123: dont worry, i managed to do it...21:46
Coggzs0l1dsnak3123: thanks for the assistance though21:46
mkerChaotic_Descent, files that start with . are invisible, but I don't know if they are in Firefox.21:46
GodfatherofEireCoggz, you think it could be cause of the proprietary drivers?21:46
MadsRHHi. Who can help me with OpenPGP key???21:46
Sierradumprmitchell:  what about programs, I want to play with LOTS of programs!  I want audio players, movie players, skype etc... I also want to try out virtualization - can all of this be installed on the /home partition?21:46
Chaotic_Descentmker: nope. it's not that. what is WRONG with these files from Windows that they're invisible to Firefox?!21:46
mkerMadsRH, No one unless you tell us what you need help with :)21:46
CoggzGodfatherofEire: could be, i have proprietry nvidia21:47
MadsRHmker -> ;-) Okay21:47
mkerChaotic_Descent, can you see other files in the same folder or what?21:47
ArdRighChaotic_Descent, the file invisibility thin in Windows is based on Windows 'system file' preferences. Have you gone into folder options to enable 'view hidden files' etc?21:47
rmitchellsierradump, the command "lspci" in a terminal should list quite a lot of data. Programs are generally small, i have skype, amarok, vlc, totem, etc etc and my / is only using 8.3 GB of the 14 GB I gave it. Virtualization stuff can be installed in /home/ if i remember correctly21:47
Chaotic_Descentmker: yes. Firefox can see other files. and the Ubuntu file browser can see both what Firefox sees as well as other files it can't see. I can even LOAD the image files from Ubuntu.21:48

ArdRighVastHappyDude, I would recommend asking in a WINE channel... or perhaps looking on Google. Gamecontrollers are rather specific21:51
Coggzosotogari: ubcdwin is good, but you need windows iso21:51

MadsRHmker -> checking it out right now, thanks21:52
Chaotic_Descentmker: ... ah. ok. somehow it's Photobucket that's filtering the files out. I have no idea how it's managing to decide that these aren't image files. I just tired uploading an image onto my forum and it DOES list the files.21:52
mkerChaotic_Descent, could you show me the full name of the image file?21:53
rmitchellsierradump, not sure if it matters, but i'd leave it on just because.21:53
Sierradumprmitchell: 10-4 - starting install now :)  thanks for helping out!21:53
rmitchellsierradump, no problem, hope everything goes smoothly21:54
mkerSierradump, Good luck!21:54
Chaotic_Descentmker: hmmm... wait a sec. -_-; ok. I figured it out. Apparently it was filtering out images with upper-case file extentions. .jpg was listed, but not .JPG21:54
Chaotic_Descentthat's... seriously... pathetic.21:55
mkerChaotic_Descent, hehe, good thing you solved it though :)21:55
Chaotic_DescentI can't believe how difficult that was to figure out.21:55
rmitchellsierradump, with your nvidia drivers, i don't remember if you have to tell it to install them or if it prompts you to, but system - administration - hardware drivers should show them21:55

DavidCanariaspatius: Thks for this info. The reason I ask is because I have some photos in mpg format and a DVD Video. I want to put them both on the same DVD and though to convert the DVD to mpg first so they are the same format or do you know if that is really necessary???22:21

mpeeAndy80: any files in the old /home will still be there though, and still use disk space22:31
justizinAndy80: the old data is still wasting space, though, so you could move it to /home2, make a new /home, then move /home2 stuff to the new /home once it's mounted..22:31
mkeriHome, I have the same thing in Pidgin with MSN! I missed the whole conversation about this but did you find out anything?22:31

I've Installed Ubuntu 8.10 (64 bit) in another disk and I want to mount the same /home/ that is in the RAID1.... so I just need the new mounted data.22:34
zsquarepluscubunt1: depending on the problem and graphics card, installing the restricted drivers for your card might help. these are different drivers for nvidia or ati22:34

zsquarepluscAA28: depends on your needs 64 bits makes sense for >=4GB RAM. if you want wide support for proprietary software 32 bit is easier. i ruin 64 bit as all the standard apps run fine22:40
iHomegusto5: for dummies just so scared at clicking at something. eg this ...22:40

kebomixi did22:52
kebomixno errors !!22:52
kebomixi made it in lowest speed twice cuz i thought wrong on cd22:52
zsquareplusckebomix: so you tell that you already have 8.04. you could upgrade that one, instead of overwriting it with a 8.10 install22:53
gnutronqcjn: if you have a /etc/hosts.allow or /etc/hosts.deny file with entries in it, that could prevent it. you probably have those files and by default they should be fine and allow incoming connections.22:53

meyou_in vlc i had the same issue but i changed to x11 output23:02
zsquarepluscqcjn: you try to authenticate with a private key? is that key "old"?23:02
meyou_but can't find that in totem options23:02
gnutronqcjn: you arent trying to put the password on the command line are you? you must wait for a prompt to do that23:03
zsquareplusckebomix: same here. but the sys->prefs->net menu works to make changes23:03
stefanomeyou_, i think this is the expected behaviour when you start to run out of graphics memory. do you have the additional effects enabled, or just the basic ones?23:03
qcjnzsquareplusc: gnutron i don t remember using or making any key23:03
gnutronqcjn: the keys generate themselves23:03
zsquarepluscqcjn: you are questined for a password?23:03
zsquarepluscquestioned even23:03
CarlFKmkerd: thanks23:04
zimbresWhat program should i use to download via cvs?23:04
qcjngnutron: it ask me for a pass and i give it23:04
gnutronqcjn: are you certain its typed correctly? its very sensiive23:04
zsquarepluscqcjn: ok so you have password authentication enabled. its possible to have that one disabled. the user is the correct one for the password?23:04
calwighi guys i have a huge problem with wpasupplicant23:05
qcjnthe thing is that before the upgrade i used it a couple of time and noe i do the same thing and it don't work ...and i m sure i type correctly23:05
calwigbut perhaps someone could help me fix it23:05
SierradumpAnyone familiar with the " Aperature beyond 4GB.... Ignoring "  message upon booting into 8.10? Doesn't happen with 8.04.1 -> I hate to install 8.10 and get everything updated and find out I have to revert to 8.04!23:05
SimAtWorkthe ubuntu repositories seems super slow today!23:06
gnutronqcjn: if you can un-install then re-install via vnc, i bet it will work.23:06
SimAtWorktrying to apt-get install kde.. it's been doing for HOURS23:06
gnutronqcjn: something went whacky23:06
mkerdSierradump, Did you google? I find several pages with that error message.23:06
=== Xana is now known as RabidWeezle
zsquarepluscqcjn: just to verify you could type the password into a shell and see if its correct? (not pressing enter, delte afterwards) that would ensure that you dont have a wrong but similar keyboard map23:06
qcjngnutron: i think it is the best solution23:06
lirizsquareplusc: I prefer not to download the sources myself, as I probably require the entire bunch of php5 applications. how can I upgrade to 5.2.6 then on interpid?23:06
calwigInstalled Ubuntu Hardy out of the box and I can connect to any network but not a WPA+WPA2 network with a password. wpasupplicant is installed, what do I have to install additionally to allow me to connect wirelessly23:06
gnutronqcjn: it cant hurt, except the keys wot match23:06
RabidWeezleI am looking for a linux hard drive diagnostic tool for both ntfs and ext323:07
mkerdliri, the link I sent didn't help?23:07
gnutronqcjn: hence the need to rm known.hosts file on your local client box23:07
qcjnzsquareplusc: it s the same password, when i do things using vnc, lets say i start mpd it ask me for the password.. and it works23:07
RabidWeezleis there an app that checks hard drives for hardware errors?23:08
zsquarepluscliri: i try to use the software that i find in ubuntus repositories. some times there are newer versions available from the upstram programmer/team. and sometimes there are braches on laucnchpad (PPA) dont know if that the case for yours23:08
mkerdRabidWeezle, badblocks23:08
lirimkerd: I must have missed it. let me scroll up23:08
stefanoRabidWeezle, fsck does that23:08
mkerdliri, this might help you https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuBackports23:08
qcjngnutron: ok,,i m unsinstalling it23:08
RabidWeezlefor NTFS aswell?23:08
mkerdRabidWeezle, No idea23:08
meyou_stefano: i've got everything turned up, but my comp/gfx should be fine for it23:08
meyou_and it does this when i have everything on minimum too23:08
meyou_if it's on opengl in vlc the video is blinky and stuff, but switching it to x11 and it works great23:09
zsquarepluscqcjn: but vnc and others use their own password. ssh uses the system (login) password of the account with that name. can you log in with the same user/pass directly at the machine? (or using vnc and "login" in a shell)23:09
qcjngnutron: sudo apt-get --purge autoremove opessh-server23:09
snuitjeRabidWeezle: try smartctl -t23:09

mkerdretro_, nope, have to reinstall23:09
Sierradumpmkerd -> yes I did google but I can't find anything conclusive other than people are getting that error and having problems, some immediate and some days later involving the stability of their machines (some report machines freeze, others lose display, others can't boot etc...)  Just want to see if anyone knows anything about it????23:09

semtidohi. im having a problem with bluetooth in 8.10, on a toshiba laptop. cant seem to even turn on...23:10
lirimkerd: I'm reading that... so should I be adding the interpid repository, pin it like in the example and use apt-get to install php5?23:10
zsquarepluscretro_, unfortunately not. but you could keep/backup your /etc and /home folders to carry over most settings23:10
retro_thanks23:11
jimdb1rabidweezle:  http://www.ubuntu-unleashed.com/2008/10/gsmartcontrol-hard-disk-drive-health.html23:11

zsquarepluscmkerd, liri backports from ubuntu are as easy as making a checkbox in the system->admin->package sources settings23:12
lirithe thing is, I looked in interpid-backports on the packages.ubuntu.com and I didn't see that php5 is there23:12

ubottuRabidWeezle, please see my private message23:20
pastr1i wanted to install it with  wubi und win xp on a laptop23:20
gnutronMyrtti: yeah, to use irssi to chat, you need to connect to a server running a ircd process.23:20
Myrttipastr1: yes...?23:20
mkerdpastr1, just try to keep your questions in *one* message. it makes it easier for us to follow and increases your chances of getting an answer.23:20
pastr1and i get this ' the display server has been restarted up to 6 times in the last 90 seconds, which usually means something bad has happened. Waiting 2 minutes before trying again23:20
pastr1ok i try23:20
zsquarepluscpastr1: so you don't get a graphical log-in?23:21
Myrttignutron: you didn't need to connect to a server running a ircd process when you came here?23:21
snuitjeRabidWeezle: btw i always do upgrades in a screen session, if for some reason X b0rks or i have to log out during the upgrade, it doesn't ruin everything =)23:21
mariooliveira_hello23:21
RabidWeezleooh23:21
mkerdsnuitje, that's not a bad idea, thanks23:21
gnutronMyrtti: are you telling me freenode has no ircd? youre wrong23:21
qcjngnutron: ok, i ve installed it , start it, and try it ...it says Host key verification failed.23:22
pastr1i do get the orangy graphic windows with everything loading and stuff, but then during the process it fails23:22
Myrttignutron: no, I'm asking you if *other* clients wouldn't need ircd ;-)23:22
Myrttignutron: irssi is no exception to other IRC clients23:22
gnutronqcjn: cool, now do this on your  local box from your home dir23:22
gluonmanSCIM is annoying. If I exit it, it stubbornly comes back within a second. It's so invasive. It's starts automatically. I only want it as a program that I can manually run and quit like any other program. How can I do this?23:22
gnutronqcjn: rm ~/.ssh/known.hosts23:23
qcjngnutron: ok23:23
jeebstergluonman: Doesn't come back here if I don't switch to it o_O23:23
jeebsterctrl+space, that is23:23
gluonmanjeebster, what do you mean?23:23
gnutronqcjn: now it should connect, ask to accept key and prompt for a pass23:23

gluonmanjeebster, okay.23:24
Myrttignutron: what is irssi then?23:24
jeebsterBut I wonder why it's being annoying in your case23:25
gnutronMyrtti: an irc client23:25
jeebsterBecause for me it just stays put until I call it23:25

zsquarepluscjimdb1: you mean the log in screen or the session afterwards?23:27
pastr1@ snuitje : ok and then what23:27
gluonmanjeebster, probably because the key commands are too similar to some of my default compiz key commands. So when I try to switch workspaces, it suddenly changes to Greek. I'm constantly having to change back to English.23:27
gluonmanjeebster, but it runs automatically in the background, and when I try to exit it will come back in a second.23:27
Smegzor1On this pc, every new window that is opened does NOT get focus and has to be clicked in the panel.  Where do I change that behaviour?  Nobody knows (or will admit to) how it changed.23:27

mariooliveira_or somthing else23:27
mkerdgluonman, turn off compiz while playing maybe, it is a bit of a hassle though23:27
gnutronMyrtti: i think we agree in any event :)23:27
PrebenRmkerd, I thought that it was a problem with that the system ran at 75 dpi23:28
jeebstergluonman: IIRC it doesn't use that much stuff while idle, and you can change the default hotkeys ;)23:28
forcumangi can't add buddies in finch? :/23:28

snuitjepastr1: so indeed you dont need a cd, but you do have the cd /image/23:43
Smegzor1Zzeiss: the signal is terrestrial tv (ie not cable or satellite or digital)23:43
zsquarepluscSmegzor1: or pal/ntsc mismatch23:43
ZzeissSmegzor1: OK.  NTSC?23:43
SlartLovalangusta: you could have MSN installed to some kind of shared drive..23:44
Smegzor1Zzeiss: I am using TVTime and have the country correct and PAL etc correct.23:44
PrebenRzsquareplusc, mkerd, snuitje: I set the Font DPI to 96, and now it looks fine. I guess the problem is that System Default is 13323:44
=== Colrol is now known as Rolcol
PrebenRthanks23:44
SlartLovalangusta: and use wine to run it.. perhaps..23:44
PrebenRcan one set this in xorg?23:44
p1und3rif('fuxxu'); .echo(omgahhh)23:44
snuitjegnutron: personally, i don't care what kernel version is running and when it was built every time i log in somewhere23:44
mkerdLovalangusta, You can use MSN through Pidgin, or did I misunderstand your question?23:44
ZzeissSmegzor1: Hmmm... Well, that's what I would have checked.23:44
pastr1snuitje : i am on the wubi side right now, they say' The installation files (700MB) will be downloaded and checked, after which you will be asked to reboot. Do so and select Ubuntu at the boot screen. The installation will continue for another 10-15 minutes and the machine will reboot again. This is it. Now you can select Ubuntu at the boot screen and start using it.             '23:44
SlartLovalangusta: but i'd recommend a native client.. pidgin or something23:44
Lovalangustano you didn't :-)23:44
Smegzor1my problem is here (more or less).. sudo modprobe bttv card=42 tuner=30 radio=1 gpiomask=0x3F audiomux=33,32,35,35,40   I need to get the card and tuner numbers right.23:45
snuitjePrebenR: it may have detected a dpi of 133 and adjusted the settings accordingly23:45
gnutronsnuitje: its all the extra stuff i can do without.23:45
LovalangustaHow do I set it up in Pidgin then ?23:45
PrebenRsnuitje, yes I think that is the problem23:45
ZzeissSmegzor1: Can you switch back and forth at will between sound/no vid  and vid/no sound?23:45
LovalangustaDo i need somekind of server info or so ?23:45
SlartLovalangusta: accounts, manage accounts..23:45
snuitjegnutron: yeah that too... i like the suse motd, very simple one line message23:45
mkerdLovalangusta, There's a configuration assistant, just open Pidgin in the menu (under Internet) and you'll figure it out23:45
snuitjegnutron: Have a lot of fun...23:45
SlartLovalangusta: last I checked it had pretty reasonable defaults23:45
zsquarepluscSmegzor1: i hat a bttv card and it always worked without any parametes (autodetect) are you sure you need these?23:45
PrebenRsnuitje, gdm still has big fonts though23:46
Smegzor1Zzeiss: I have tried all the 'right' numbers to no avail.  No I have not been able to get a picture since day one.23:46
malibuI have a samba share that is mounted and owned by user shared:shared.  I have the use forced in smb.conf so I don't have a problem with permissions from the outside.  But how can I write files to this filesystem from the Ubuntu side without having to do chown -R shared:shared all the time??23:46
oysapt-get upgrade is holding back 4 kernel-related packages. is this normal? and should I be doing anything about it?23:46
benokamy wireless USB card works 3rd the speed on ubuntu 8.10 than on win XP, why?23:46
georgy_28Lovalangusta, : you can use asmn too23:46
ZzeissSmegzor1: but it started out with video?23:46
snuitjePrebenR: may be a theme thing then23:46
mkerdLovalangusta, It won't be perfect though since msn uses a closed protocol. If you like free software (which I assume you do since you're here :) ) you should check out Jabber. It's an open protocol for instant messaging.23:46
SimAtWorkbenoka: perhaps you're setting it up for 11mbs instead of 54? (802.11b as opposed to 802.11g) ?23:46
snuitjePrebenR: no wait, you adjusted it in your profile23:46
georgy_28Lovalangusta, : sorry, I mean amsn23:46
snuitjePrebenR: gdm doesn't care about user settings23:46
oysit happened when I ran apt-get update &&apt-get upgrade after installing 8.10 and I'm wondering if I should be filing a bugreport or if this is normal behaviour23:47
Smegzor1zsquareplusc: I got this card specifically because it is supposed to work well. I could try removing the module stuff, but it didn't work out of the box either originally.23:47
PrebenRsnuitje, exactely23:47
Smegzor1Zzeiss: yes23:47
PrebenRsnuitje, but it is ok. Was just wondering if it was something in xorg one could set23:47
snuitjePrebenR: probably yes, maybe in Section "Screen"23:48
calwigexodus_ms: im reading this now im going to try wicd, see what happens23:48
calwigthanks for the help23:48
ZzeissSmegzor1:  OK, suggest this: copy over your module config and startup and go back to the original "no setup" setup.  Verify that you get video, but no sound.23:48
snuitjePrebenR: thing is, x.org is moving more and more towards removing the configuration file alltogether and using auto-detection23:48
exodus_mscalwig, cool, no problem.... good luck23:48
Smegzor1Zzeiss: yep thats exactly what I am doing now.23:48
raven_my sound ceased working23:49
raven_please halp23:49
LovalangustaMy idea was just to start using this system permanently and for that i need to convert most funktions (like msn) se i can write with my friends, who doesn't use ubuntu ^^Some people are too afraid of challenges and that's why they are still using windows .-)23:49
snuitjetry a pair of headphones23:49
PrebenRsnuitje, that is true23:49
ZzeissSmegzor1: So, video has _never_ worked?  Is that correct (I'm probably misunderstanding)23:49
mouseboyxhow do you reconfigure xorg so that you can pick from  a list of video drivers, my real problem is that when i install xserver-video-intel, it does not write the driver to xorg.conf file....23:49
mosomeone here familiar with the alternate install partition manager and encrypted partitions: cause every time i try to configure my encrypted partitons, i get that odd nag screen about "unsecure swap-disk found" ... but there are no sawp disk at all23:49
PrebenRsnuitje, I'll leave tings like they are now. it works fine. Thanks!23:49
raven_snuitje, hey wait i might have done something stupid, echoing y into /dev/dsp and/or /dev/adsp should play a frequency i thot23:49
SierradumpIs there a command to see the display messages that occured during boot up?  I get a few errors after grub and before the ubuntu splash screen - But they happen SO FAST that I can't read them!!!  Would like to see what errors the machine is complaining about...23:49
raven_but is it possible i screwed something up23:50
dreamyanyone here uses DRI project 3d accelaration drivers ? :S23:50
mouseboyxglxgears works, but compiz does not23:50
Smegzor1Zzeiss: video worked, audio no (until now) and by working I mean, it makes the speakers click a bit.23:50
snuitjemouseboyx: that goes in Section "Device"23:50
bob5434321Hey guys, i hope it is ok to ask this here... sorry if it's not... i don't really know where else to ask :P I wish to distribute a program that i developed under the gpl license.. does this mean that i have to get a copyright first?? i'm no good at this legal stuff :P??23:50
mouseboyxi915?23:50
ZzeissSierradump: yes, try dmesg.23:50
snuitjeraven_: dumping stuff in /dev/audio should23:50
raven_bob5434321, just release it, simple as that, with the GPL on the source23:50
SlartSierradump: some end up in dmesg23:50
drogbob5434321, you should probably read it23:50
pastr1ok so i think this means no ubuntu for me then23:50

ubottuLovalangusta, please see my private message23:50
jimdb1!usplash23:50
ubottuTo select the usplash artwork you want, use "sudo update-alternatives --config usplash-artwork.so && sudo update-initramfs -u" - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/USplashCustomizationHowto for adding your custom artwork23:50
mkerdbob5434321, if you wrote the program you have the rights to it automatically.23:50
bob5434321raven: Thanx :D i was hoping for that XD23:50
SlartSierradump: but I know not everything ends up there.. there might be some other trick to see the boot log..23:50
Sierradumpokay will give that a shot...23:50
Viper550<bob5434321> to get a copyright, you must go into the hidden temple, collect the 5 arfifacts hidden within the challenges you face, and23:50
Sierradumpthx23:51
mobob5434321, first: you allways have the copyright of your own stuff, you can't even get rid of it :)23:51
mouseboyxthis is all that is in my xorg.conf http://pastebin.com/m660ea3723:51
Viper550well...mo, actually you sorta "can"23:51

raven_snuitje, i didnt change anything afaik23:51
mkerdViper550, depends on where you live ;)23:51
snuitjepastr1: maybe a different release, did you try 8.04 or 8.10?23:51
raven_snuitje, i rebooted when it stopped working23:51
Zzeissbob5434321: Yep.  Just put "Copyright yournamehere 2008 Released under the GPL" at the top and you are OK.  There is a longer form that's better, but that alone is good enough for most purposes.23:51
moViper550, mkerd --> exactly23:51

raven_snuitje, didnt hlp23:51
forcumangwhere is the default finch config file located?23:52

ZzeissAnd a question: does Ubuntu have a "keep N" option for upgrades?  And, if so, where?23:54

leetsweden.23:57
georgy_28semtido, : try hciconfig in a console, to see if your bluetooth is on23:57
mkerdforcumang, sounds very odd, maybe it's not created until you start the program or something?23:57
SierradumpWhen I type DMESG it outputs so much text I can't get to the beginning?  Is there a "DMESG /(option)" I can try???????23:57

nautI get a kernel panic when I try to boot off 2.6.24-22-generic. I've had to roll back to 2.6.24-21-generic23:58
forcumangi think it's actually located somewhere else, not in ~/.gntrc like the manual suggests23:58
semtidoi tiped that on the console and nothing appeared:S23:58
ZzeissSierradump: Try "dmesg | less"23:58
mkerdforcumang, and you've chosen to see hidden files?23:58
