[00:00] dmulholland: ssh will of course not compress but the data stream :-) [00:00] somebody to help me :( [00:00] PeskyJ: example? [00:00] pfff [00:00] thanks [00:00] for nothing :( [00:01] .off [00:01] crunchy_BUMBLE: open up a terminal and do lspci. If you can't figure out from its output whether you have a wireless card, copy the output to pastebin, link it here, and we'll let you know. [00:01] !pastebin | crunchy_BUMBLE [00:01] crunchy_BUMBLE: pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic) [00:01] nbeebo: you need some sort of tray for the applets. but there are apps you can lauch for valume control (alsamixer, gnome-volume-control ) [00:01] zsquareplusc, im looking to use disown, any ideas what you would replace [jobspec] with? [00:01] rww: I was looking for LiVES - couldn't find it so went to the home page and it says ubuntu users can get it from getdeb.net [00:02] rww: I've never heard of getdeb before, quite new to ubuntu, but seems like the add/remove manager should know about the same apps [00:02] How do you install songbird? [00:02] dmulholland: doesn't "jobs" list the backgrounded processes? [00:02] And how do you set up wireless on an Acer running 8.10 [00:02] rww: thanks. hopefully it's fixed soon [00:02] ? [00:03] emilien: ok, then i misunderstood you. i though your usb kayboard is not working but you can type with it? [00:04] hello [00:04] hello folks [00:04] zsquareplusc, no you did not , i have a second keyboard which works but i have a new one which dosn't [00:04] PeskyJ: oh, I see. Add/Remove Software only shows software in the official Ubuntu repositories. GetDeb is an unofficial website for packages that aren't in the Ubuntu repositories. If Getdeb was used by Add/Remove Programs, it'd imply that Ubuntu endorses it, which it doesn't. [00:04] I need a bit of help setting up auto login and VNC on ubuntu install on an external HDD which I am not booting from [00:05] PeskyJ: assuming I'm reading Getdeb's about page right, which is not certain, because I'm tired right now >.> [00:05] emilien: ok, so what i meant is, do you see a differnece in lsusb with the new keyboard plugged in and not plugged in? and did you check dmesg's output? [00:05] any ideas if there is a way to do it from the command line with the install ex3 partition mounted? [00:05] zsquareplusc ive got tray yes, but i want to easily be able to easily mix the sound.. i can always use keyboard tho, but i it wouldnt hurt to have it in tray.. ill guess ill ask others thanks for ur help tho [00:05] hey guys how do i add a new keyboard shortcuts to gnome ? i'm on 8.04 [00:05] anyone know any sound mixer for the tray? [00:05] Thirtysixway: yeah, me too. I was thinking of installing from the PPA the other day, then realized it was down. [00:05] Does anybody know where I can get this system monitor program like shown on the right of this desktop: http://www.gnome-look.org/CONTENT/content-pre1/79463-1.jpg [00:05] yell0w: system | preferences | keyboard shortcuts [00:06] hello, I want to use mysql devel package in hardy. what is the name of the package. it has the file mysql.h [00:06] 1_3tum its conky [00:06] AaronX: appart from just editing the right files, "chroot" is a great tool. you can even run apt-get on the external hd then :-) [00:06] rmitchell: conky [00:06] rww: I have oo3 installed already, it just says application error when it's loading [00:06] thanks [00:06] I_3Tum: package conky in... mmm, universe repository I think [00:06] linux-image-2.6.27-9-generic=2.6.27-9.19 and linux-restricted-modules-2.6.27-9-generic=2.6.27-9.13, what gives? shouldn't the versions match so modules can compile correctly? is this something I did wrong? I'm on Intrepid 8.10 [00:06] Thirtysixway: right, I know. Was saying I hope it gets fixed soon, so I can install it and you can upgrade to a working version :) [00:06] zsquareplusc: yeah I used chroot to have the partition map to / so I got apt-get running and installing x11vnc [00:07] I_3Tum: that is a screenlet google: screenlets [00:07] zsquareplusc, yes , i tried lsusb did not pick it up [00:07] rww: ah there's an update for it for the new kernel. that makes sense. :) [00:07] rww: I see.. so how are packages decided to be "official ubuntu"? [00:07] zsquareplusc: but do you know what files to edit for the autologin and Remote desktop settings? [00:07] rmitchell: that doesn't give me option to add new shortcut to a new program [00:07] emilien: sounds like a hardware issue.. did you try plugging in something else in that USB port? [00:07] Thirtysixway: not sure it was kernel that was the problem. I forget what the maintainer said the other day, and I don't log irc... but yeah, he's working on it. [00:08] yell0w: ah, you'll probably have to do it throught the application then [00:08] PeskyJ: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDevelopment/NewPackages [00:08] AaronX: autologin shoud be in gdm's config [00:08] AaronX: autologin shoud be in gdm's config [00:08] Is anyone familiar with the terminal command: renice [00:08] I can't get my bluetooth headset to work with ubuntu 8.10.. it is paired but I can't hear or record anything... I tried all devices that were added since I paired the headset.. none work... [00:08] zsquareplusc: what's the path to that? [00:08] HRshovinstuff: a little. What's up? [00:08] rmitchell: the app does not support it, i need a shortcut to open the program [00:08] AaronX: sorry.. and the desktop sharing is maybe available in gnomes registry. not sure [00:09] what is the mysql devlopment package in ubuntu hardy heron?? [00:09] zsquareplusc, sorry , lsub did not pick it up as i unpluged "mystrey keyboard" and lsusb was same input as before , usb is fine as the working keyboard works fine from that usb port [00:09] AaronX: system wide configs a re in /etc or subfolders of it. btw if you just want a vnc session on a headless box, consider vncserver [00:09] i'm trying to give a -10 priority setting to Wow.exe but i just get errors in return. I have also tried the system monitor/preference/ and changed it there, neither works [00:09] does any1 know a app to change volume in tray? like in windows [00:09] rww: ta :) [00:10] what's the terminal command for moving a folder, its contents including subfolders, to another folder, aka directory? [00:10] nbeebo: kmix in kubuntu. [00:10] nbeebo; right click on the gnome panel and click Add to Launcher, then go to the volume [00:10] HRshovinstuff: what's the error you're getting? [00:10] Bax mv -rf from to [00:10] drog: Yes [00:10] drog: Flawlessly on the IDE drive [00:10] msnbot: i dont use kde but thats a good thing to google with [00:10] Does anybody know how I could modify the gnome-main-menu?

[00:11] rww: renice: /media/threehund/wow/Wow.exe: bad value [00:11] emilien: that really sounds like a hardware problem between the cable and your new KB. two usb keyboards should work fine i had that too [00:11] rww, not that menu, its more like the one in openSUSE? [00:11] Hi, I need to run an app in wine that depends on msaa and a few other things. How do I do this? It is called Talking Typer [00:11] AaronX: yes, even several variants, vnc4server, tightvncserver, vncserver [00:11] HRshovinstuff: and what are you typing at the command line to get that error? === svippy is now known as svip [00:12] rww: http://paste.ubuntu.com/78185/ [00:12] try sudo renice -10 -n /path/to/wow.exe [00:12] nbeebo: have you tried screenlets? there is a trash screenlet that I use [00:12] does any1 know an app to change volume in tray? like in windows [00:13] HRshovinstuff: sudo renice -10 /media/threehund/wow/Wow.exe [00:13] zsquareplusc, here is demsg http://pastebin.com/m5b1a8631 [00:13] nbeebo: err... the default volume applet does just that?

[00:14] rww: http://paste.ubuntu.com/78186/ still does not work please look [00:14] emilien: it mmay be just the cable. there is something about not able to enumerate. that could indicate a communication problem [00:15] emilien: the Buffer I/O error on device sdf1 does worry more :/ [00:15] nbeebo: gnome-alsamixer possibly, i don't know [00:15] zsquareplusc, what does the buffer I/o error mean ? [00:15] ljl yeah but no gnome-panel.... ill try [00:16] emilien: looks like there was a write error on your external disk. at least the message is not repeated, just once [00:16] HRshovinstuff: hmm. If you know the process's PID, you could use sudo renice -10 -p NUMBER instead. You can get the PID from ps -AH (it's the left-most number in the output) [00:16] nbeebo: if it doesn't have to be GNOME, then there's probably a few options [00:16] nbeebo: the KDE volume applet is a tray applet, for instance [00:16] Mal3ko, as i remember the -P needs to go before the usrer@location:~/ but I would try it first [00:16] Anybody know how to modify the gnome-main-menu (the one that looks like the one from openSUSE), specifically the right/system panel? [00:16] HRshovinstuff: or, it might be because you're passing it the path, so you could also try just putting WoW.exe instead of the whole path. Or, since it's wine, try wine. Could be a few things... [00:17] ljl, yep but im using plain old gnome without gnome-panel.. trying to clean the screen up same time look good.. [00:17] I hear couple static snaps in audio [00:17] then it drops [00:17] :| [00:17] so it would be scp -P 1232 mal3ko@example:~/ -P 6667 malko@server.com:~/ [00:17] does anyone want to test my stream?

Is there any way I can redo the boot record so I can point it to GRUB/LILO? [00:23] ok tyvm [00:24] coremaster: Wow, even weirder.

Apparently too much help is bad... [00:42] mrwes [00:42] yes? [00:42] does anybody have a clue as to what would make DNS unhappy? [00:42] I'd like to uninstall lirc (and replace it w/ a later compiled version w/ a few patches) w/o uninstalling mythbuntu-lirc-generator (which lists lirc as a dependency) [00:42] mrwes [00:43] hrmmm [00:43] i think it has more to do with "jenny" [00:43] i mean [00:43] how many women are here? [00:43] clinet or server DNS? If server have fun...

[00:44] rut row [00:44] how come I can use xchat but my firefox cannot connect to internet? [00:44] dmajnew: does nslookup and/or other DNS access CLi tools work? [00:44] ok sorry...please join me to offtopic, to discuss this very important subject :p [00:44] dmajnew: e.g. dig [00:44] exodus_ms: have oyu set a proxy? [00:44] * viaSanctus sighs [00:45] cutterjohn: nslookup is unhappy [00:45] hilton [00:45] dmajnew: how? [00:45] fala jose [00:45] all it does is hang there [00:45] can anyone explain what "mv * .." would perform? [00:45] as does dig [00:45] zsquareplusc, no, I have had ff and xchat runnin all day. closed ff and now i cant get a connection [00:45] Anyone got any experience connecting to webdav folder in hardy? I'm following instructions but after typing password I'm getting the error: "Not a WEBDAV-enabled share" (I'm going to Places > Connect to Server and putting in the details there) [00:45] !pt | Hilton [00:45] Hilton: Por favor use #ubuntu-br para ajuda em português. Obrigado. [00:45] dig finally returned: "connect timed out; no servers could be reached" [00:45] exodus_ms: set it to offline mode? [00:46] dmajnew: you can use the server command in nslookup to attempt to use another server foir the lookup... if it works, whatever DNS server you're trying to use is likely misconfigured or down [00:46] exodus_ms: I don't believe that is expected behavior with recent versions. [00:46] martyd: be really careful when someone tails you to perform 'mv or rm' commands [00:46] vou tentar [00:46] tells* [00:46] dmajnem: Just use dig. [00:46] martyd: move all files and directories in the current directory into the one higher up in the current path. For example, if I were in ~/test/test2 and did that, everything in test2 would end up in test [00:46] so.. anyone know any tray application for changing the sound??? like in winblows [00:47] nbeebo: Alsamixer [00:47] LF|Irssi, thanks. that's exactly what i need to do :) [00:47] Yahovah, i would not expect it either... [00:47] when i change to normal my visual effects everything opens to the left what can i do? [00:47] Is there anyway to save login information when using openssh-server, or do I have to type the server name in everytime I connect? [00:47] martyd: i think you need to thank rww not me :) [00:48] zsquareplusc, no [00:48] mrwes: Look up ssh keys. Specifically ssh-keygen [00:48] cutterjohn: how? [00:48] rww, thank you also! :) [00:48] Yahovah, uh? [00:48] helping a friend install ubuntu and when we enabled the nvidia drivers and rebooted, x11 won't start. I tried sudo dpkg-reconfigure x11-xorg but that doesn't seem to resolve the issue [00:48] mrwes: to avoid typing in the server name, look in man ssh_config [00:48] how can I repair xorg? [00:48] martyd: you're welcome :) [00:48] What is the cmd tasksel? [00:48] rww: Ok [00:48] mrwes just make an alias that does 'ssh whatever' [00:48] yahovah so hows that a tray application? [00:48] when i change to normal my visual effects everything opens to the left what can i do? [00:48] Jose [00:48] is there a shortcut key to change themes? My kids somehow managed to break all the theme settings and things went pretty straing, but selecting human again seemed to fix it, though all the Compiz settings were reset! [00:48] oi [00:49] mrwes: you'd make a host block named with a shortcut name, then set HostName to the actual name [00:49] Yahovah, could you explain? [00:49] exodus_ms: Explain what? [00:49] Is there any way to boot a windows HD in an entirely different computer? [00:50] Cavisty^gerber: XP/Vista may complain about activation.

[00:50] hli [00:50] mrwes: and if you need to save passwords too, look up ssh-keygen as Yahovah said [00:51] hilton [00:51] does that happen to anybody? [00:51] hilton [00:51] Is there any way I can mount and virtualize my XP partion? [00:51] does anybody know how to do a manual install of ubuntu that can walk me through it? [00:51] if there are more than one scripts with say S20facilityname inside of /etc/rc3.d, how does init determine which one to call first? [00:52] does it go alphabetically? [00:52] Maveas it can be done in vmware i recall.. but not recomended. ive not tried it in ages... [00:52] shade34321 theres a billion guides tho [00:52] shade34 whats if your problem installing ubuntu [00:52] how do you find the mac address of a keyboard [00:52] ryty whats the exact names? it does them in order I reccall [00:52] i help you out [00:52] ryty: depends on the value of CONCURRENCY. If it matters which order they go in, you really should fix the numbers. [00:52] im trying to find them....but none of them seem to work....last time it messed up my xp partition [00:52] Anyone got any experience connecting to webdav folder in hardy? I'm following instructions but after typing password I'm getting the error: "Not a WEBDAV-enabled share" (I'm going to Places > Connect to Server and putting in the details there) [00:52] Dr_willis_: it's complicated, I want to add my own [00:53] right now im in gparted trying to set up my ubuntu partition with a swap [00:53] shade34321: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation [00:53] rww: that's what I was thinking [00:53] thanks [00:53] ryty read that README thats in the directory (or was it in /etc/rc.d/) it explains the ##. dependng on what you need to do.. give it a proper # to start up at a specicc order in the strtuo [00:54] how do you make ubuntu automatically log you in, instead of making me type in my username [00:54] hey everyone, I was looking through my dmesg trying to find things that took up alot of time and I found this line "NET: Registered protocol family 17" _ does anyone know what this does? [00:54] ryty: for a while, dbus and hal had the same number... was a huge headache if people set CONCURRENCY=shell in /etc/init.d/rc... [00:54] shad0w0fsin: Don't worry about it. [00:54] asclepius: System > Administration > Login Window > Security tab > Enable Automatic Login [00:55] what's the terminal command to delete a folder and all of its subfolders and contents within? [00:55] Bax: rm -r [00:55] Bax: rm -r. If you get errors, sudo rm -r, or sudo rm -rf [00:56] cutterjohn: ? [00:56] time to test. Thanks rww and Dr_willis_ [00:56] !rm [00:56] The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome) or K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE). Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal [00:56] Bax: before you issue such commands, triple-check that you entered them right... I say this from experience... [00:56] why not use rmdir? [00:56] it's job is to remove directories [00:56] thanks rww [00:56] * zsquareplusc always shrugs when ppl sugest to use rm -r just one little space at the wrong place there there it is, your lost data nightmare [00:56] shade34321: try it on a directory that's not empty [00:56] rww: with an ssh alias in the config file, it's better to have a static IP ? [00:56] shade34321: rmdir doesn't do what you think it does. [00:57] ok...i just manned it [00:57] i see that it's only for empty directories... [00:57] in php can I use a foreach inside of another foreach? [00:57] when setting up a swap partition...does it need to be a primariy partition or extended? [00:57] mrwes: not sure what you mean. Can you rephrase the question? [00:57] shade34321: doesn't matter [00:57] toi la thuan, toi den tu vietnam [00:57] ok [00:57] !English [00:57] The #ubuntu, #kubuntu and #xubuntu channels are English only. For a complete list of channels in other languages, please visit http://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetRelayChat [00:57] shade34321 extended partitions hold logical.. swap can be a primary or logical.. and it dosent matter [00:58] ok [00:58] shade34321 i tend to use swap if possible. [00:58] thanks [00:58] shade34321 i tend to use Primarys :) if possible. [00:58] rww: Ok...I setup my ~/.ssh/config file with my desktop, but if I'm using DHCP won't the IP change..potentially [00:58] quick question: I (as a regular user) can mount this NTFS partition, but I can only view the files as root [00:58] mrwes: Yes. Set up a static assignment with your DHCPd. [00:58] Yahovah, Ok...that's what I thought...thanks [00:58] savage: missed the uid/gid options in fstab? [00:58] co bac nao den tu viet nam khong? [00:59] mrwes: what Yahovah said, or set up a dynamic DNS thingie like DynDNS [00:59] mrwes: (I forget the technical term for them...) [00:59] mrwes: I use the no-ip service to get around that - my ISP has me on a dynamic ISP so the I set up an account and installed the noip2 package which updates them with my new IP automatically so I can just connect to a hostname [00:59] zsquareplusc: what do you mean exactly? [00:59] mrwes: Is this a WAN or LAN address? [01:00] zsquareplusc>:/dev/sda2 /mnt/hd ntfs auto,users 0 0 [01:00] mrwes: err - dynamic IP address I mean [01:00] savage: without uid/gid the file permissions will be mapped to root. you have to map them to yourself [01:00] so.. anyone know any tray application for changing the sound??? like in winblows [01:00] zsquareplusc: how do you do that? uid=username,gid=groupname? [01:00] how do we check system log, security logs etc..ssh bruteforce attack? [01:01] nbeebo clarify 'changing the sound' You mean changing the volume? [01:01] Mal3ko: syslogd [01:01] rww: savage yes, like that, appended after users,.. [01:01] dr_willis_ yeah ill chance asap [01:01] Yahovah, LAN...from a router [01:01] Yahovah, how do I do that in 8.10? [01:01] static IP that is [01:01] dr_willis_ change* [01:01] Yahovah: yea but i need to see the logs [01:01] mrwes: Okay, no-ip/dyndns won't work then. They both block IANA private space. [01:01] Mal3ko, system/administration/.. [01:02] nbeebo theres a volume controll gnome panel applet :) its there in the add to panel applet dialogs [01:02] awesome thank you zsquare [01:02] well, I just had the weirdest thing happen, like a key got stuck on the keyboard that wouldn't free up, kept repeating d, mouse not responding no hw buttons responding, had to go to AC gank the battery then the AC... [01:02] tripitakit: ubuntu server here [01:02] just added uid=## [01:02] Yahovah, I have static on my desktop running 8.04, but not on my laptop running 8.10 [01:02] mrwes: Static leases are controlled by the DHCPd. You'll want to configure it there. Alternatively, you can change your Ubuntu box to a static IP with system -> administration -> network in GNOME. [01:02] take care everyone [01:02] Mal3ko, ops sorry, /var/log/... [01:02] dr_willis_ yep i should add that too.. im not using and desktop panel.. [01:02] Yahovah, ok [01:03] zsquareplusc: is there a way to set it so that /any/ user can mount, not just one (assuming setting uid=username makes it so only username can read stuff...) [01:03] mrwes: I would change it on the DHCPd (router) if possible, though. It's seamless. [01:03] (wouldn't even suspend...) [01:03] rww: that's what groups are for. you can also set the m world readable, but who wants that ;-) [01:03] Yahovah, Oh...I've never done that on a router [01:03] nbeebo run a systray tool then if you must have such a icon.. or one of the windowmaker dock apps.. or perhaps some of the gdesklets/applets tools... [01:04] rww: I managed to change the color by changing the login window theme then back to the default again. Could you provide the # of the default login window background color? [01:04] zsquareplusc: good point. thanks :) [01:04] mrwes: It just makes the router give certain IPs to certain mac addresses. Static DHCP leases. [01:04] can someone help me? [01:04] dr_willis_ yeah ive tried a billion stuff like that but it doesnt feel right.. i want my tray app :S i know theres kmix but i want gtk..

[01:07] i need internetzzz [01:07] Azizco910: the people here are volunteers, not your paid employees [01:07] wireless is hard in linux [01:07] omg---bbq?! [01:08] nbeebo stalonetray seems to work very well.. but the issue is i guess you want a 'not a gnome panel applet' mixer utility. that runs in the system tray. :) [01:08] !lol ( :P ) [01:08] Sorry, I don't know anything about lol ( :P ) [01:08] Azizco910, what wifi card ? [01:08] !lol | oh wait no i lied [01:08] oh wait no i lied: Please don't use "LOL" and "OMG" and so forth on a regular basis. This is IRC, not IM, and using those lines on their own is not required, and it is rather annoying to the rest of the people in the channel; thanks. [01:09] is there a system monitor panel applet which is a bit smoother/polished than the default one? shaded graphs, no mouseover "0%"-ing, ... [01:09] nbeebo xfce may have such a tool. [01:09] dr_willis_ personally i use trayer, got lots of run commands and stuff... so my vision is to use only that, avant window manager, conky and ttm2 [01:09] Tripitakit [01:09] hi all [01:09] Tripitakit hang on [01:09] g'day everyone [01:09] hum.. the numeric keypad keys won't type numbers regardless of numlock state - any idea how to fix this? [01:09] how do i stop ubuntu from automounting HFS+ partitions [01:09] dr_willis_ hmm maybe [01:09] Hi , my mplayer play with vn code , how can I set it to become x11 code? [01:09] nbeebo i recall awm havin some sort of systray thing.. but i found awm so flakey it was unuseable. [01:10] is it possible to run xorg in a chroot? [01:10] PeskyJ: shift+ctrl+numlock [01:10] hey, guys do you think that the above from the syslog might've been the cause for my hardlock(sort of IRC kept scrolling new messages but no mouse, no hw keys, no suspend, etc.)? Had to pull the battery then AC to get out of it after trying evrytthing else that I could think of [01:10] I seem to have messed up my keyboard layout, and nothing I can do can gt it back to how it was before [01:10] there is nothing about my keyboard in xorg [01:10] zsquareplusc: wow, thanks :) what feature is that? [01:10] quick question: anyone else run into the forcedeth driver glitch with ubuntu and the latest kernel they're pushing down (2.6.27-9)? My ethernet card keep dropping out after a few hours with that classic forcedeth glitch, but I didn't have this bug with my old install... [01:10] (CPU) Intel(R) Pentium(R) M processor 1.73GHz, x86 Family 6 Model 13 Stepping 8, GenuineIntel - Central Processor - Load: %100 - 1729 Mhz [01:10] dr_willis_ yes the applets are useless, but im using it for launchers... well for now ill just use keyboard or desklets... thanks anyway :) [01:10] and setting it using keyboard, in preferences does nothing [01:10] PeskyJ: keyboard mouse. type the keys again and hold KP 4 [01:10] nvm [01:11] brut-: modprobe forcedeth msi=0 msix=0 [01:11] Hi , my mplayer play with xn code , how can I set it to become x11 code? my smplayer cannot play with my external soundcard , where to set the sound output ? [01:11] Tripitakit dell wireless 1370 wlan mini-pci card [01:11] zsquareplusc: yeah, they move the mouse instead - another thing the kids must have accidentally switched on :/ [01:11] I guess I can blacklist the HFS module [01:12] hey guys, i'm trying to resize a partition on my RAID array and im getting this error when i try to mount a partition - "mount: unknown filesystem type 'nvidia_raid_member'" [01:12] Yahovah, I'll give that a try..., I assume I can dump that into something in /etc/modules.d so it'll use those settings on boot? [01:12] The software that comes with my hp scanner can scan printed text and run OCR on it and get a reasonably accurate transcript, is there an equivolent program for ubuntu? [01:12] Azizco910, pls hang on a minute [01:12] PeskyJ: make them a separate account so you can delete .gnome each time to get defaults again ;-) [01:12] ok [01:12] !ocr [01:12] OCR software for Ubuntu includes Tesseract, Ocrad and GOcr. GNOME users can use 'gocr-gtk' as a front-end to GOcr, while KDE users have Kooka available as a front-end to Ocrad and GOcr. [01:12] hi i am looking for typesizes.h on ubuntu [01:12] phantomcircuit_: xsane which comes installed [01:12] jose [01:13] !find typesizes.h [01:13] File typesizes.h found in libc6-dev, openoffice.org-dev, ppu-sysroot, ppu-sysroot64 [01:13] oh, and a n00b from notebook point oof view, I didn't see it run fsck or the ext3 check on reboot would that be normal recovery from powerloss even for a notebook? [01:13] hi to all [01:13] PeskyJ, all i got was jibberish :| [01:13] brut-: Yeah, I just put modprobe -r forcedeth;modprobe forcedeth msi=0 msix in /etc/init.d/networking. [01:13] JiMiGj_Uk\Busy: /usr/include/bits/typesizes.h [01:13] let me try [01:13] thanks [01:13] Anyone can tell when xVM VirtualBox will support SMP?

Do LCD panels generally use the same ranges for those values? Are they really even needed? [01:23] cutterjohn: to answer the last question, I've never needed them [01:23] man, really annoying issues with intrepid, 2 machines, possibly both nvidia related, random freezes for a few seconds, 10-20 seconds, [01:23] rww: but what do you do for the modeline entry? leave off the horizsync and vertrefresh part?

[01:29] PeskyJ the linux filesystem can handle large files [01:30] dr_willis: yeah, but I don't think samba does... [01:30] PeskyJ: you could set up filezilla server on her computer and copy them over FTP. It's what I usually do in that situation. [01:30] PeskyJ: if the ubuntu machine is on EXT3, the 2 GB limit won't be an issue, right? [01:30] i would recommend [S]FTP, as well [01:30] PeskyJ: mount with the lfs option [01:30] PeskyJ i move dvd image files to/from samba servers all the time.. no issues [01:30] http://deine-nackte-weihnachtsfrau.net/?id=2667561 [01:31] PeskyJ: use usb drive [01:31] anyone have any idea with my dmraid and mdadm issue?

[01:49] PeskyJ: add/remove is a distilled version of what is available, only showing big-name apps that people would want, etc. [01:49] J172: it took me about 6 months [01:49] I bought a Mac this summer, couldn't figure out how I've lived without NIX, then installed Ubuntu on my laptop 5 days ago [01:49] Geforce88-> you have an existing linux?

[02:10] BoltClock: yes [02:10] rmitchell: Looks like it worked on this box (doesn't need it) .. do you know where the driver needs to be deposited on the machine that needs it? doesn't say in the Details: here's the link: http://downloads.openwrt.org/sources/wl_apsta-3.130.20.0.o [02:10] bobbob1016, okay.. I just have a lot of problems.. Where are u from, NYC? [02:10] thanks rww that helps [02:11] Frede, No... Well born there, moved soon after.... why? [02:11] Constantine: thx :) [02:11] Nashenas: ok. i wanna install vista for kicks just to see how my pc deals with windows aero, is aero possible just on a VM or do i have to install on my disk? [02:12] BoltClock: VMs don't deal well with Aero, usually [02:12] bobbob1016, K.. Just saw your time was 09:10.. so it must be in the time zone.. === remi_ is now known as remi [02:12] BoltClock: if you want to see aero, you have to install native [02:12] hey guys [02:12] BoltClock: it depends on what kind of VM you're using. It would need to allow direct access to your hardware [02:12] what program do you sue in Ubuntu to open rars [02:12] alright thanks [02:12] EMPulse, you need wine and winrar [02:12] Dillizar: no wine [02:12] BoltClock: also restoring grub isn't difficult if vista writes over the mbr, you need to have an ubuntu cd tho [02:13] Dillizar, gah, I hate wine, it lags [02:13] EMPulse: there is unrar installable from synaptic [02:13] EMPulse, use to wine to install winrar [02:13] EMPulse: pop open add/remove, search for RAR, install it, then just use archive manager like everything else [02:13] !rar | EMPulse, Dillizar: no you don't [02:13] EMPulse, Dillizar: no you don't: rar is a non-free archive format created by Rarsoft. For instructions on accessing .rar files through the Archive Manager view https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FileCompression. There is a free (as in speech) unrar utility as well, see !info unrar-free [02:13] Nashenas: that i can fulfill [02:13] ConstantineXVI, zsquareplusc thanks [02:13] Frede, Could be canadian, could be cuban too... Offtopic though [02:13] i have xp as well, will vista interfere? [02:13] sowwy rww ^^ [02:13] bobbob1016, true true... :) [02:13] rmitchell: do you know where the .o file needs to be for aptitude (apt-get even) to see it's been downloaded? I've got the file handy now . [02:14] BoltClock: shouldn't as long as you dont tell it to upgrade it [02:14] BoltClock, Please dont say you are running Vista.. :) [02:14] Frede: of course im not, just wanted to see how my pc chugs on aero :P [02:14] Frede: once he tries it out, he'll go back to xp, lol [02:14] its bad enough im still running windows :P [02:14] BoltClock: try asking in #windows. They probably know more about installing both XP and Vista on the same machine. [02:14] rww: k [02:14] BoltClock: how much ram do u have? [02:14] * NineTeen67Comet vista runs fine in VirtualBox .. right where I can X out of it just for a giggle .. [02:15] Frede: some people cant learn that the fire is hot till they stick their hand in :) [02:15] sorry, ##windows. Dunno if the extra # matters :/ [02:15] Nashenas: 4 gb. its my graphics card thats lacking [02:15] NineTeen67Comet, not sure. It sounds like you're going to have to compile it yourself, as its not a .deb package [02:15] rww: yes it does [02:15] BoltClock: what card? [02:15] rmitchell: no prob .. thanks much for your time though .. [02:15] constantineXVI_ : :D [02:15] ok, i've done a bit more of an attempt on reading my RAID array in ubuntu... still no dice. [02:15] Nashenas: nvidia gf7100, its onboard and has only 128 mb memory [02:15] however, I have run dmraid -ay and I have a block device (nvidia_bbaijfba) [02:15] (no offense to those that enjoy sticking their hand in the fire knowing it's hot) [02:15] Hi guys!! quick question. Is there anyway that I can make nautilus open a folder by hover a dragged file over it? like the macs do? [02:16] Nashenas: or is 128mb fine? lol [02:16] I simply can't moun it, though [02:16] BoltClock: that should be enough, tho I can't remember too well. I just hated the fact that it took 2.5 GB when i had 4GB of ram O.o [02:16] and if i attempt to mount one of its partitions (ie - /dev/sdb), I receive an error - "NTFS signature is missing." [02:16] and that was on a free vista disk, no added programs [02:16] just vista [02:17] lol [02:17] anyone have any experience running gnome-terminal and then an application inside of that terminal, from some kind of script? [02:17] anyone have any idea about my mounting and dmraid issue? [02:18] Is there anyway that I can make nautilus open a folder by hovering a dragged file over it? like the macs do? [02:18] Nashenas: do you mean passing a command into gnome-terminal for it to run? [02:18] Nashenas: gnome-terminal --command=/command/goes/here [02:18] fbc: i don't think so... but dolphin and konqueror on kde does that... (at least last time i tried in kde 3.5...) [02:18] Nashenas: if I'm understanding you correctly [02:19] hello there === rustyrat is now known as endoubt [02:19] ok, there we go [02:19] rww: wow I can't believe i didn't look at gnome-terminals man page, thanks [02:19] How do I get out of full screen after remote desktoping into my desktop with my laptop? === ConstantineXVI_ is now known as ConstantineXVI [02:19] Scunizi: vnc? try F8 [02:20] Odd-rationale, there has to be a way to make nautilus do that... I can't believe they would let kde get one up on them. [02:20] fbc: i think its doing in in the tree in the sidepanel [02:20] zsquareplusc: nope.. "remote desktop" the other option off Applications>Internet [02:20] Scunizi: F11 maybe? [02:20] Scunizi: that's how you get into fullscreen mode, anyway [02:20] Scunizi: lots of apps use f11 for fullscreen [02:21] Scunizi: so I assume it's F11 to get back out again... [02:21] rww: thanks that was it!.. with the option at the top [02:21] zsquareplusc, not it doesn't work that way either. [02:21] fbc: yeah, it works if you do it on the tree side panel... [02:22] fbc: well, folders open up if i drag a file over them and wait. the the sidepanel when it is selected to display "tree" [02:22] rww: I had just used the "full screen" icon at the top of the window. nice to know that it's f11. just another one to remember. ctrl+f for Vbox F11 for RD, Vmware is another.. etc. [02:22] can please someone help me? My widow borders are totally gone....there is no more item to close or minimize the window :( [02:22] ugh, no help. [02:22] i mind as well try another distro or something [02:22] adac: are you trying to use compiz-fusion? [02:22] Scunizi: yeah, there are way too many. If it helps, F11 is theoretically the standard for GNOME apps these days. [02:23] adac, did you installed compiz? [02:23] adac: try: alt+f2. and run: metacity --replace [02:23] Odd-rationale, well compiz is enabled yes [02:23] adac, open a compiz [02:23] adac: if you want to use compiz, then you should install emerald [02:23] zsquareplusc, yeah I got it to work that was, but i normally prefer to view places. [02:24] odd-rationale: isn't emerald beryl, not compiz? [02:24] adac, and the select window some thing its a icon that has a window with red border try that [02:24] Odd-rationale, it is installed...emerald. metacity --replace had no effect [02:24] rmitchell: no, emerald is part of compiz-fusion as well... === Sinister` is now known as Sinister [02:24] it seems it's looking for /dev/mapper/nvidia_bbaifjba3 but it isn't finding it [02:24] says it doesnt exist [02:24] rmitchell: beryl merged with compiz to make compiz-fusion, which inherited emerald [02:24] but /dev/mapper/nvidia_bbaifjba does exist and contains 3 partitions [02:24] Would anyone have a moment to help me with a grub install issue? I've been going around in circles for hours. I re-installed Windows and afterwards, re-installed grub. I get an error 17 on the Ubuntu entry and a 13 on the Windows entry. fstab/menu.lst entries: http://pastebin.ca/1270773 [02:24] rww: didn't know they merged emerald with it, cool [02:25] Is there a good upgrade path from Dapper to Ibex? Or would it be best to just reinstall? [02:25] rww: hey now lets say I wanted to get the arguments passed to this script and pass them to emacs, what should I do? [02:25] adac: try opening the emerald theme manager and selecting a theme... [02:25] Nashenas: What's the script written in? [02:25] shell script [02:25] RB2: have you tried reinstalling grub with the usual guide? [02:25] so bash? [02:26] Nashenas: use %1 %2 .. [02:26] Nashenas: I think $@ ? so something like emacs $@... not sure, though [02:26] adac, have you installed some new menus? [02:26] endoubt: yes, and at one point, ubuntu would load, but not Windows. Then, Windows would load, but not Ubuntu. I think I'm just going nuts. hehe [02:26] right now I have [02:26] #!/usr/bin/env bash [02:26] gnome-terminal --command=emacs [02:26] Odd-rationale, I tried that before. No effect. borders are just gone. I really doN#t know what I have done wrong....I really didn't changed a thing [02:27] endoubt: now neither will load. [02:27] Dillizar, nope...it just happened [02:27] Nashenas: that's assuming you want all the arguments passed to emacs. if you just want a specific one, it's $1 $2 $3, etc. instead [02:27] so no one has any idea? [02:27] RB2: there is a boot disk called "Super Grub Boot Disk" which is quite silly but it helped me once [02:27] everytime new kernel headers are installed, what is the easiest way to remove the old ones? [02:27] Nashenas: gnome-terminal --command="emacs $1" would past the first argument to the script to emacs [02:27] Dillizar, as far as I remember. But I'm poretty sure I changed nothing [02:27] *pretty [02:27] Hey quick question, how do I change my hostname? [02:28] !hostname | Pib [02:28] Pib: Use hostname to set the hostname, or to do it permanently: edit /etc/hostname and /etc/hosts . WARNING! Make sure that your current hostname and /etc/hosts match, otherwise sudo may not work properly. Alternatively, use the gui at System > Administration > Networking on the "General" tab [02:28] so why would parted be looking for a /dev/mapper/nvidia_bbaijfba3 when it doesn't exist? All I have is a /dev/mapper/nvidia_bbaijfba - no 1/2/3 [02:28] Thanks Flannel [02:28] RB2: I've had that 13 and 17 error before and I'm trying to remember how I fixed it, or if I ever did [02:28] rww and zsquareplusc: thanks, and it was $1 not %1 [02:29] adac, try to down load a new emerald theme [02:29] endoubt: At one point, I had to boot into the XP recovery mode and run fixmbr and fixboot because the whole drive was hosed. I'm looking at the SuperGrubDisk page now. [02:29] fucking worthless. [02:29] i'm trying another distro [02:30] good luck [02:30] Dillizar, I already tried that. I have a few themes that I can choose from emerald....but if I selesct one then nothing vchanges. still no borders :( [02:31] RB2: http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/manual/grub.html#Troubleshooting is the grub troubleshoot guide and this thread has some useful info http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-1669.html [02:31] Flannel, I broke everything [02:32] Pib: Define everything. And how'd you manage that? [02:32] on system with 4gb ram, can ubuntu see 4gb? [02:32] Flannel, I edited the hostname file but now I can't open anything to change the hosts file [02:32] Pib: did you not pay attention to the "WARNING!" notice in the factoid, perchance? [02:32] ubuntu 32bit [02:32] Pib: Right. Why didn't you just use the GUI method? [02:32] Mal3ko: only about 3.5MB for a32 bit system [02:32] rww, Indeed I did but I didn't expect it to stop me from running apps [02:32] Flannel, Because I do not have it, I changed WM [02:32] Pib: Reboot, choose "recovery console" from the GRUB menu, that'll give you a root prompt, you can edit the files, and when you're done, 'init 2' will finish booting to a normal system. [02:33] Flannel, Thanks [02:33] hey-oh [02:34] zsquareplusc: you sure? can you confirm this: http://samiux.wordpress.com/2008/01/10/how-to-use-4-gb-ram-on-a-32-bit-ubuntu/ [02:34] i edited my shortcut to switch between workspace 1 (ctrl + left arrow) and workspace 2 (ctrl + right arrow). is there any way to make it continue left or right using the same shortuct? like a right arrow ++ ? [02:34] Flannel: maybe we should change "WARNING!" to "SUPER-WARNING-YOU-SHOULD-ACTUALLY-READ!" [02:35] Anyone in here have knowledge about internal microphones? [02:35] mine doesnt work [02:35] WillyWonka389: have you already dug through the sound menus? [02:35] Mal3ko: its what several people here told. you can use all your ram with the 64 bit version [02:36] endoubt:yeah i recompiled alsa and have been screwing around in preferences forever [02:36] Change to: Dont read now, regret afterwards. [02:36] WillyWonka389: any options in the bios for the microphone? [02:36] endoubt:i trie a couple walkthroughs in the forums but no help [02:36] excuse me , linux sound card driver is under which folder? [02:36] no tried that too [02:37] WillyWonka389: what model is the laptop? [02:37] yes === qwerty is now known as Guest54542 [02:37] zsquareplusc, Mal3ko: the -server kernel has PAE enabled, which allows you to see all 4GB of RAM. Personally, I just did 64-bit =/ [02:37] is the best [02:37] endoubt: Acer aspire 5100, running hardy 64-bit [02:38] rww: but some memory will still be unavailable as the graphics cars shadows some and other reserved spaces [02:38] s/cars/card [02:38] endoubt: I'm going to reboot and try SuperGrubDisk. Thanks for your help. [02:38] endoubt: i noticed after i did a clean install with 64-bit, but i am not confident it was working when i had 32-bit [02:39] WillyWonka389: what does lspci tell you about the device? [02:40] hey there, anyone know if there are drivers for the geforce 8800GT? i will be upgrading from a ati card. [02:40] endoubt: Audio device: ATI Technologies Inc IXP SB4x0 High Definition Audio Controller (rev 01) [02:40] sorry i dont know how to use pastebin [02:41] !pastebin | WillyWonka389 [02:41] WillyWonka389: pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic) [02:41] budz0r: nvidia support is much better than ati in linux [02:41] hi [02:41] everybody [02:41] I'd like to know how to install soft under ltsp-thin-client [02:41] endoubt, thats what i heard. will i be able to point and click my way to the correct drivers? [02:42] budz0r: after I did compiz with nvidia I'll never go back to ati [02:42] budz0r: they make it much easier [02:42] budzor: that card works well, i have the same one. just involves enabling the driver in Hardware Drivers [02:42] Dillizar, I restartet the x server...borders are there now!!! [02:42] :) [02:42] thx DUD [02:42] E [02:42] who is familiar with with lstsp [02:42] adac: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [02:42] who is familiar with with ltsp? [02:42] endoubt, rmitchell, thanks. i wanted to make sure i was making a linux friendly purchase [02:42] have fub adac [02:42] :D [02:42] WillyWonka389: either copy just the one line from lspci or use pastebin.ca for the full output [02:42] budz0r: i've used two or three nividia cards with no problems at all [02:43] rmitchell, all i've used is this radeon x800 and i hate it [02:43] i can't get anything to work right with it [02:43] Dillizar, I think the deactivation of that oone compiz thing "decoration" did that thing!!! :) [02:43] 3 differerent nvidia cards here.. all worked. [02:43] budz0r: yes, I went through hell with an x1300 too [02:43] http://paste.ubuntu.com/78200/ endoubt: [02:43] well deactivation and activation [02:43] great, thanks so much for answering guys. later. [02:43] never used ati myself, but my friend tried getting a laptop ati card working... terrible [02:43] I want to make a copy of all of my . directories, so that I can wipe out the current ones and start fresh (except for a couple), how do I do that? If I do cp .* it copies all files (. being the current directory). [02:44] hi guys [02:44] okay, so can SOMEONE tell me why my RAID 5 nForce array appears in ubuntu as /dev/mapping/array_name and gparted is looking for /dev/mapping/array_name1, /dev/mapping/array_name2, and /dev/mapping/array_name3, but neither of those 3 block devices exist for some unearthly reason. However, dmraid does detect the physical block devices (/dev/sdb, /dev/sdc, and /dev/sdd). Anyone have any ideas? [02:44] oh! one more thing. i'm going to upgrade to a new computer. can i put this hard drive in the new machine and boot linux? i know windows screws up when you pull that kind of stuff. they are both x86 arch. === consfearacy is now known as dioz_mio [02:44] mesh1 use cp -r to copy folders recursively if you want to have the permissions too, cp -ax is useful [02:44] can someone explain the difference(s) between the multiverse and medibuntu repository, conceptually? [02:45] mesh1: maybe cp .??* DESTINATION [02:45] !medibuntu [02:45] medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org [02:45] mesh1: that'll copy all dotfiles with 2 or more characters after the dot... so not .. [02:45] ohletmeinnowgodd, mediubuntu has packages with 'legal' issues :) [02:45] budz0r, i think you'll be fine [02:45] ubottu: and multiverse is legal soft? [02:46] ohletmeinnowgodd: depends on your location [02:46] ohletmeinnowgodd, the use of the term 'legal' means 'licening limitations' in this case.. not 'warez' [02:46] I have a new install of xubuntu and can't figure out which program runs the network application in the system tray. Sometimes it runs and shows me avaliable wifi networks, but most of the time it does not. How do I run this or connect to a wifi network without it? [02:46] okay, so can SOMEONE tell me why my RAID 5 nForce array appears in ubuntu as /dev/mapping/array_name and gparted is looking for /dev/mapping/array_name1, /dev/mapping/array_name2, and /dev/mapping/array_name3, but neither of those 3 block devices exist for some unearthly reason. However, dmraid does detect the physical block devices (/dev/sdb, /dev/sdc, and /dev/sdd). Anyone have any ideas? [02:46] ohletmeinnowgodd: Its legal yes, just not Free [02:46] rmitchell, yeah. i may just do a clean install of 8.10 anyway. the one i'm on is an upgrade [02:46] kinnagohomnah? [02:47] is there a command to get a list of non-stock installed app's so i can easily replace them after a format? [02:47] I am using Intrepid and I live in the United States. All my spelling suggestions are for British English rather than American English. (e.g. colour instead of color) in firefox. Does anyone know how to fix this? [02:47] flannel: im sorry what is legal and not free? [02:47] ohletmeinnowgodd: the stuff in multiverse. [02:47] ok [02:48] budz0r, you want to see all the applications that you have installed [02:48] and medibuntu is illegal and not free? [02:48] ohletmeinnowgodd, a 'non free' program is a program that the dev's cannot freely manipulate. thus do not have control over. [02:48] Dillizar, yes [02:48] like reverse engineered drivers? [02:48] Dillizar, but not the 4000 that come stock with the OS :) [02:48] well budz0r you can open add/remove and select installed app [02:48] :P [02:49] and you will see [02:49] :D [02:49] ohletmeinnowgodd, so they are still very 'legal' but are not truly 'free' get it? [02:49] ohletmeinnowgodd, they are njormally legal.. but licensed in non-gpl ways.. or for other reasonjs [02:49] okay, so can SOMEONE tell me why my RAID 5 nForce array appears in ubuntu as /dev/mapping/array_name and gparted is looking for /dev/mapping/array_name1, /dev/mapping/array_name2, and /dev/mapping/array_name3, but neither of those 3 block devices exist for some unearthly reason. However, dmraid does detect the physical block devices (/dev/sdb, /dev/sdc, and /dev/sdd). Anyone have any ideas? [02:49] re [02:49] ohletmeinnowgodd: kinda, except drivers go in restricted. but apart from that, yes [02:49] hey everyone [02:49] so anyone have any idea what "pcm out path & mute" means? [02:49] Dillizar, thanks! but i was looking for a way to compile a quick list i could just save to a text file. :) [02:49] at least i can see which ones i have this way [02:49] :D [02:50] WillyWonka389: try B) at http://geekybits.blogspot.com/2007/06/microphones-skype-on-ubuntu.html [02:50] budz0r: there's a factoid for this. gimmie a sec to find it [02:50] !cloning | budz0r [02:50] budz0r: 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 !automate [02:50] Codemaster: I've only ever experience linux raid with mdadm (software raid) [02:50] endoubt: thanks [02:50] endoubt: I' [02:51] er sorry [02:51] ubottu, wow! thanks!

You're welcome :) [02:51] endoubt: I'm simply trying to resize a partition on that RAID Array, as all of the partitioning software I've found so far sucks and doesn't work on x86-64 vista ;) [02:51] so anyone have any idea what "pcm out path & mute" means in my mixer?

When pluged in, gnome pops up a window prompting me for the passwd to decrypt. when i enter it, it always says org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.Volume.Crypto.SetupPasswordError Error setting up /dev/sdg2 - bad password? but I know the password is right because i can access the drive doing cryptsetup luksOpen /dev/sdb2 sdb2crypt and entering it. any ideas?

[02:56] how well do 3d accel'ed apps work in vurtualized windows? [02:56] budz0r: depends on your hardware [02:56] Estesark, did you just buy that card? [02:56] What's the GUI way to format a USB drive? [02:56] It came with my laptop [02:56] budz0r: I have a friend who claims that compiz works great in virtualbox [02:56] Estesark, oh... was going to recommend returning it lol [02:56] endoubt, wondering about games [02:57] rww: i think gparted can format it [02:57] wanted to forgo windows completeley this go-round [02:57] hello! [02:57] Hi [02:57] I just installed latest updates, and now my ethernet connection stopped working :( can anyone help me diagnose? [02:57] Can anyone guide me in setting up the gpg key for Feisty? [02:57] I am using Intrepid and I live in the United States. All my spelling suggestions are for British English rather than American English. (e.g. colour instead of color) in firefox. Does anyone know how to fix this? [02:58] zutme: isn't there a Languages... option on Firefox's right-click menu? [02:58] zutme: when you're inside a textbox, at least [02:58] Why does Raising Elephants not work in Intrepid? [02:58] WillyWonka389: check Vultaire's post out on this thread http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-hardware-18/realtek-alc883-record-sound-wont-work-597317/ [02:58] yeah is it just firefox zutme? [02:58] Who is familiar with ltsp? [02:58] budz0r: Do you know if it is possible though? I can't find any articles on the web about enabling compiz with the open source ATI driver on 8.10. [02:58] Hi guys... did an (automated) upgrade from 8.04 to 8.10 and now get grub Error 15: File Not Found. It was an 8.04-alternate install with luks. It seems like I have lost vmlinuz. Any pointers? [02:58] it would be nice if these media players ran an md5 check on these files to check for duplicates.... i have a dozen copies of some of these tracks scattered all over the computer [02:58] tanker_: Feisty isn't supported anymore, you should upgrade to Gutsy (and then to Hardy, gutsy will be EOL in a few months) [02:58] Flannel, vi is a nightmare, it took me forever to get everything done [02:58] Estesark, is the problem that when you enable the non-free drivers it runs like crap? [02:59] budz0r: you're just asking for trouble running games in virtualbox, find a brick wall instead [02:59] rww, yeah that did it. was on australian [02:59] Flannel, okay - I guess that would be why I get the errors Thanks! [02:59] budz0r: The desktop effects are fine, but then video playback (and 3d games) is appalling. [02:59] AltGrave: If you aren't familiar with vim, you should use nano instead. [02:59] endoubt, yeah, lol [02:59] zutme: yeah, that appears to be the default for some reason [02:59] endoubt: where did this go wrong? http://pastebin.ca/1270797 [02:59] Downloaded latest updates for Intriped.. rebooted.. now Network Manager says it can't get a network address. Any ideas? [02:59] Why does Raising Elephants not work in Intrepid? [03:00] AltGrave: or at least, you could. Its more or less a "regular" text editor [03:00] Steve, is this wifi or ethernet? [03:00] Estesark, ah, well i haven't any experience with that. i was going to say what i did when i had problems was just deleted /etc/X11/xorg.cfg and rebooted and everything seemed to run fine. but that wont help your problem. they make games for linux? (joke) [03:00] i just run my games in windows man [03:00] hey i have an intel 915 video chipset and whenver i open my laptop lid, or bootup my screen glitches. whats up with that? and KDE its a total glitch show. [03:00] Steve__: what kind of network is it? [03:00] budz0r: Lol, yeah, games like xmoto :P [03:00] jared, define 'glitches' [03:00] Flannel, probably a good idea, I generally used gedit or mousepad with a WM running anyhow [03:01] thanks all, I was able to move all files except for .dbus [03:01] hi, [03:01] it's regular ethernet. [03:01] it was working just fine before latest updates [03:01] -h [03:01] Steve_, what do you get with iwlist scan? [03:01] how can i defrag/optimize my HDD ? [03:01] Steve__ try it by hand. run the dhcp client on the cmd line and see what it says [03:01] Estesark, the only game i ever tried was some sort of Worms clone... it won't even start up right lol. As for call of duty 5? i type 'reboot' and wait a few moments lol [03:01] how do i set the permission for the syslink that is in mnt/windows that points to my windows partition that i created with root and cannot access with normal user [03:01] budz0r, well, flickers, screen kinda vibrates and just moves quickly tightly back and forth... nothing crazy just weird [03:01] mesh1: I don't think you need .dbus. dbus will make a new one if it needs one [03:01] Xcerca: with ext3, you generally don't need to. [03:01] !defrag | Xcerca [03:01] Xcerca: The default Ubuntu filesystem (ext3) is engineered to avoid fragmentation issues in most cases, see http://linkpot.net/behead/ for a simple example on how it achieves this. [03:01] jared, ah, mine does that. but it never really got to me. [03:02] sine: symlinks don't have permissions. they inherit the permissions of the file they link to [03:02] permissions of their own ** [03:02] endoubt: that got a little too technical, what did they mean by running acer specific code? [03:02] budzor ya KDE was stupid! but i liked gnome better so i stuck with gnome [03:02] why do gentoo users make fun of me. do we really run 'baby linux'? [03:02] how comes i cant access with root then [03:02] kde was constant glitch [03:02] i mean with my normal user account [03:02] cuz i just upgraded to 8.10 and now i hear the hdd all the time and it going pretty slow [03:02] OK, ran dhclient from command line.. it shows the discovery messages.. but gives up after a while [03:02] budz0r, no such thing [03:02] budz0r: because they're immature. call them "ricers" [03:02] budz0r: gentoo sucks :D i wouldnt worry, the're insecure [03:03] Steve__: hm... ok, dumb question... are you sure all connections are ok? [03:03] rww, ricers? lol like the honda kids? [03:03] rww, budz0r, archangelpetro: just ignore them. [03:03] hhehe [03:03] budz0r: yes :D [03:03] Yeah, checked all physical connections. They're fine [03:03] haha [03:03] THEME [03:03] budz0r, i think its beneath us to work harder to use our computers than we need need to. if a program could do in a few click what 17 lines of code could, i'll take the program. [03:03] hi how can i install new theme [03:03] !changetheme [03:03] Sorry, I don't know anything about changetheme [03:03] Steve__: who is your dhcp server? a home router? your isp? [03:03] they are suppsoed to be our conceniencde, not our time consumers [03:03] !themes [03:03] Find your themes at: http://www.gnome-look.org - http://art.gnome.org - http://www.kde-look.org - http://kubuntu-art.org - http://themes.freshmeat.net/browse/58/ - http://www.guistyles.com - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Artwork/ - Also see !changethemes and https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuEyeCandy [03:04] err conveniance [03:04] i cant type [03:04] still [03:04] Steve__, what's in /etc/X11/network interfaces? [03:04] home router. should be 192.168.1.1 [03:04] i'll check.. [03:04] tanker_: X11??? [03:04] will a program that advertises 'written for kde' work with gnome? what are the differences between the shells? [03:04] with extention png [03:04] do you mean /etc/network/interfaces ? [03:04] yes [03:04] WillyWonka389: check out BHelts post on http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-475013.html === pppos is now known as FlyingElectron [03:04] endoubt: so.. from what i get, its an Acer specific bug [03:04] sorry, working on two problems at once :) [03:04] Steve__: set ip by hand and try to ping the router to make sure connections are fine [03:04] install new theme .png [03:05] budzor, in essence, they are written for ubuntu, kde and gnome are just "desktops" should work from my experience, cant gurantee no problems tho [03:05] budz0r: It will. They use different toolkits to draw themselves. It just means when you're using a KDE program inside of gnome, you also have the KDE libraries in memory [03:05] budz0r, what app? generally it doesn't matter, you can have kde libraries under gnome, i run amarok in gnome [03:05] how can i do that? [03:05] WillyWonka389: modprobe will try to start the device, there is an acer specific flag [03:05] To install KDE in Ubuntu, I can just do sudo aptitude install kde, right? [03:05] rww: kubuntu-desktop [03:05] rww: how can i access the mounted partitions with my normal user account that i create with root seeing as i cant create a mount in normal user mode [03:05] WillyWonka389: there are lots of other acer users experiencing the same problem [03:05] budzor, and to run kde programs and if you only have gnome desktop installed, you will need to install kde librarys, but this is usually automatic with installing programs [03:05] tried that. it says "destination host unreachable" [03:05] Flannel: won't that install all the kubuntu branding too? [03:05] rww: Yes [03:05] anyone here using 8.04 on Dell Latitude C800? [03:05] Flannel, rmitchell, no specific app. i just stayed away from the apps i wanted that said 'written for kde' or something like that... like 'mail program for KDE' etc [03:06] Why does REISUB not work in Intrepid? Did Canonical compile the Linux kernel with the magic sysrq keys turned off or something? [03:06] Steve__: that should not happen... that's a routing err msg, and in order to ping your router you should not have to route traffic [03:06] tanker_: it's doubtful, we pride ourselves on diversity [03:06] rww, don't forget about your GDM too. i think you'll have to make sure you run KDE on startup instead of gnome [03:06] !reisub [03:06] Sorry, I don't know anything about reisub [03:06] !sysrq [03:06] In an emergency, you may be able to shutdown cleanly and reboot by holding down Alt+PrintScreen and typing, in succession, R, E, I, S, U and B. For an explanation, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magic_SysRq_key === qbmaniac is now known as qb|away [03:07] budz0r: they should run without a problem [03:07] usser: I know what they are, I'm wondering why they don't work AT ALL in Intrepid? [03:07] YaroMan86, should work [03:07] YaroMan86: they do. for me, anyway [03:07] level15: that's true. any sugguestions? [03:07] YaroMan86, if its in factoids, should work [03:07] usser: Should != Does [03:07] YaroMan86: its possible you're completely locked up. Do capslock/numlock/scrolllock work? [03:07] Steve__: would it be possible to test the network on windows or a linux live cd? [03:07] usser: It's been consistent ever since I intalled Intrepid. compiz crashed the system. not even REISUB works. Never did that in HArdy or older. [03:08] Hello all, does anyone know of a UBUNTU application that will accept Windows media 9 audio stream? [03:08] yeah. i could give that a try.. [03:08] Nutt718: Most should with the right codec [03:08] Flannel: Ew. So some bug is causing compiz to lock up the whole system? [03:08] YaroMan86: Try using REISUB sometime when your system isn't locked up. [03:08] Steve__: yah... that's all i've got [03:08] Nutt718: VLC might [03:08] * YaroMan86 will try it now. [03:08] YaroMan86: that'll verify that it works (and isn't disabled, etc) [03:08] Nutt718, i think VLC will play a text file if you tell it to. it usually plays anything [03:08] Steve__: :-P [03:08] level15: ok thanks.. at least that'll tell me where the problem is. :P [03:09] Steve__: yup, just to make sure [03:09] Nutt718: Try opening it with Totem, it will give you an option to download the codec from the repository [03:09] ok. wish me luck. see ya [03:09] cya [03:09] Flannel: Nope. Just floods me with a TON of gnome-screenshot. [03:09] endoubt: yeah, fdisk detects all 4 partitions [03:09] and gparted even shows all 4 [03:09] i just can't mount them :/ [03:09] AltGrave, thanks, will try Totem. I could not find anywhere to edit VLC [03:09] Codemaster: what type of partitions? [03:10] YaroMan86: No idea. I don't have Intrepid to try it out. You could file a bug report (since that's certainly bugworthy) [03:10] ntfs [03:10] Codemaster: if you pasted the pastebin link I missed it cause my pidgin sounds aren't working [03:10] so... does anyone here use encrypted volumes? [03:10] nah i didnt lol sorry [03:10] i rebooted into windows, so :) [03:10] Flannel: to Launchpad I go. [03:10] (and playing left 4 dead) [03:10] endoubt: seems like the alsa-lib alsa-utl file links are broken [03:10] level15, i use trucrypt to manage my incrypted drives. have you tried it? [03:10] hi guys, how do i check the installed packages on my system? I have VLC installed but i cant find it anywhere in synaptic...i installed it manually via terminal... [03:10] endoubt:when i run i just get bash: syntax error near unexpected token [03:11] budz0r: no, i am using dm-crypt, but have some issues with it [03:11] can you cahnge the settings of the Ubuntu GNOME file-selector dialog so that it doesn't go ahead and try to determine the filetypes or get thumbnails of things etc allthe time? [03:11] because I've got several directories containing thousands of items and it just takes sooooooooooooo long. [03:11] level15, google trucrypt - its free and i like it a lot :) [03:11] ohletmeinnowgodd: If you installed it outside of package management (tar.gz, bin, etc) it won't ever be visibile in synaptic (or any other package manager) [03:11] WillyWonka389: compiling is a tricky beast, it's a very satisfying experience when all the dependencies are met, but otherwise can be a real headache [03:11] level15, warning: it MIGHT not be exaclty what you are looking for. read about it frist. [03:12] budz0r: yeah, i've seen it, was planning to use it for my win partition [03:12] flannel, i "sudo apt-install"ed it [03:12] WillyWonka389: I couldn't find any obvious missing dependencies in that code you pasted but I'm sure that's what the problem is [03:12] ohletmeinnowgodd: then it should show up in synaptic, yes. [03:12] hi, anyone know how can to install theme with .png [03:12] flannel: maybe im not using the "search" field right? [03:12] :S [03:13] endoubt: hmm.. kinda over my head [03:13] how can to install theme? [03:13] how do I play dpg video files in Ubuntu? [03:13] new theme [03:13] ohletmeinnowgodd: could be. Instead of searching try this, if you remember the package name, go to the list of all packages, click in the list, and then just start typing the name [03:13] WillyWonka389: you may not have to update the alsa drivers, try finding some other software (other than Skype) to test the microphone, to make sure it's not just a skype issue [03:13] roadfish: try VLC [03:13] level15, well thats what i really like about it. it has windows and linux versions so they are very compatible. if anything you could just format that little sucker and use trucrypt this time to be sure you won't have any problems. [03:13] endoubt: no, soundrecorder donesnt work for it either [03:14] budz0r: i was hoping it would not come to that, but maybe... [03:14] endoubt:how can i updat the drivers [03:14] heogen, just go to preferences > appearence and drag the new theme zip file into the window [03:14] WillyWonka389: in the forums there were some people who had success with the Live CD [03:14] how do I join a microsoft network? [03:14] sliverchair, !samba [03:14] sliverchair: Try ##windows, thanks [03:14] sliverchair: use samba [03:14] !samba [03:14] Samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments.

[03:15] WillyWonka389: which might indicate that the specific settings on the live cd are different from those on the install [03:15] endoubt: i guess i look for the files in there then huh? [03:15] I do that [03:15] akahige2, alt+f1? [03:15] level15, can you get to that data in windows?

[03:15] budz0r: no, i only use it under linux [03:15] @drog: does that shell out of the GUI? [03:16] no [03:16] level15, then now'd you make it in the first place? [03:16] endoubt: yeah, i was wondering right now if its even worth it [03:16] akahige2: pass kernel parameters to grub so that it does not use the boot splash and you can see what's going on [03:16] heogen, ok, extract the files till they are just a folder on your desktop. try dragging that into the window.

[03:26] i tried using terminal and then a box came up at the destop they said to use commands and stuff [03:26] ubuntunoo: you're x is messed up [03:26] What would be a good iTunes equivalent for Ubuntu? I don't mind if iPod syncing doesn't work, I just want a music player that resembles iTunes. [03:26] what do u mean my x? [03:27] endoubt, i wonder if deleting his xorg.conf would help. it could create a new working one. [03:27] Mike020: rythmbox? [03:27] ubuntunoo, hang on a sec [03:27] ok [03:27] izinucs, no, I had a hybrid system that got all messed up when I tried to upgrade [03:27] izinucs, and I had to fix in manually [03:27] tpw_rules, any progress? [03:27] ubuntunoo: hit Ctrl + Alt + F5 to switch to terminal (Ctrl + Alt + F7 to get back to X) and then reconfigure x server [03:27] !clone [03:27] 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 !automate [03:28] ubuntunoo: hang on, I'll get the command [03:28] and i get this error when i try to restart mpd ALSA lib pcm_dmix.c:874:(snd_pcm_dmix_open) unable to open slave [03:28] egads - that factoid is all curpted.. it seems.... [03:28] rmitchell: im doing it right now [03:28] o ok [03:28] poh, if your /home partition is actually seperate from the rest you might consider reinstalling fresh and reusing /home.. that's what I ended up doing. [03:28] ubuntunoo: the command is "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" [03:28] tpw_rules, if you get stuck, i've compiled madwifi a few times, i might be able to help you out [03:28] but i dont have anything open that would be using my sound card [03:29] poh, that way your data will be intact. [03:29] ubuntunoo: just run through all the options, the defaults should be fine [03:29] endoubt where shoud i put that? [03:29] ALSA lib pcm_dmix.c:874:(snd_pcm_dmix_open) unable to open slave : what do i do to fix this? [03:29] ubuntunoo: in a terminal somewhere [03:29] izinucs, home is separate, but that would still be a pain [03:29] ok [03:30] i tied using livecd but that doenst work [03:30] so ima re-install it using wubi since i just uninstalled it [03:30] poh, I know it eliminated the adventure of trying to decypher the problem/issue but might just take less time to fix it that way. [03:30] ubuntunoo: live cd won't give you a desktop either? [03:30] nope [03:30] i made the cd i mean but instead i just get a black screen [03:31] he might have a bigger problem. [03:31] izinucs, yeah, it probably would take less time. [03:31] i hear some music like the bongos [03:31] ubuntunoo: in the very first menu of the live cd there are boot options [03:31] lol [03:31] after that im done [03:31] ok with the live cd u mean the three options demo installition , installtion, and more about ubuntu [03:31] ubuntunoo: there will be several for graphical options like -vga or something like that, try some until you get a desktop and then the one that works will tell you what the problem is [03:32] hi. i have an encrypted USB hard drive. When pluged in, gnome pops up a window prompting me for the passwd to decrypt. when i enter it, it always says org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.Volume.Crypto.SetupPasswordError Error setting up /dev/sdg2 - bad password? but I know the password is right because i can access the drive doing cryptsetup luksOpen /dev/sdb2 sdb2crypt and entering it. any ideas? [03:32] ALSA lib pcm_dmix.c:874:(snd_pcm_dmix_open) unable to open slave: how do i fix this, i dont have anything open that is using sound , i get that error when i try to restart mpd, how can i find out what is causing it? [03:32] ubuntunoo, use the person's nick that your talking to when responding so your message won't get lost in the noise.. just type the first few characters of the nick and hit TAB for easy completion. [03:32] level15, not giving up i see :) [03:32] Is it possible to have transparent windows in metacity? [03:32] izinusc thanks [03:32] how to let MPLAYER detect my external sound card but not internal built-in sound card [03:32] budz0r: too lazy to format-reinstall... not to mention the fact i don't hae a spare 500 GB to put the data while reformatting [03:32] ubuntunoo, you didn't use tab.. my nick got misspelled :) .. (that's a smiley face) [03:33] hi [03:33] level15, good god. i thought you were talking about a jump drive haha [03:33] well boys [03:33] level15, you encrypted the whole drive?

[03:34] how do i install mythbuntu on ubuntu 8,10 [03:34] endoubt, me me me! [03:34] i am a little high still :) [03:34] endoubt: i mean theirs a menu it says demo installition, install in windows, and learn more [03:34] pretender: there is a good wiki for that [03:35] !mythbuntu [03:35] Mythbuntu is an Ubuntu derivative centered upon setting up a standalone MythTV system. See: http://www.mythbuntu.org for more information [03:35] !drunk [03:35] endoubt trying to get there [03:35] Sorry, I don't know anything about drunk [03:35] lol [03:35] lol [03:35] upgraded from Hardy to Intrepid and am trying to fix problems. on boot, things get stuck at "configuring network interfaces" and ntpd gets started and stopped repeatedly. what can I do to fix this? [03:35] Please take the inebriated IRC elsewhere. Thanks. [03:35] Well, i guess i'm typing in the cryptsetup command 4ever [03:35] endoubt, :-( [03:35] flannel: there is no support anywhere else [03:35] How do i get my wireless icon back onto my panel? [03:36] * endoubt is jacked up on black coffee and should be finishing his research paper [03:36] * budz0r thinks endoubt is a fibber [03:36] some of my apps have gone mad. the text in them is veeery spaced. i think it is gtks fault [03:36] losetheshizzle: You're welcome to get support here, but chatting belongs in #ubuntu-offtopic [03:36] hello people [03:36] to anyone, livecd is the cd we make by burning the iso image which we download from the site right? [03:36] nmq, herro [03:36] braeder, alt+F2 run NetworkManger its case sensitive [03:36] :P [03:36] i need a little help here... i am trying to extract a folder form a zip file and there are like 10 folders, but i would like to extract just one of them using the terminal? how i could do this? [03:36] flannel: i hear yah.. i'm just evesdropping... if there's something i can add / help out with, i shall. [03:36] ubuntunoo, yes [03:37] blacknred0: no offense, but you can figure that out by yourself with the man page [03:37] blacknred0: why not just extract the whole file and then copy the folder you want? [03:37] i tried :) :? [03:37] izinucs: ok good i put the cd in and i get three otoptins which are demo and full installtion, install inside windows, and learn more [03:37] is there a way to echo stuff on one terminal to another, sort of like chat in the same PC? [03:37] yeah in his defense some of those man pages are crazy [03:37] ubuntunoo: it doesn't give you an other options at the top and bottom of the screen? [03:37] izinucs: which 1 to chose? [03:37] nmq, wall [03:37] nmq: yes [03:37] Hi there, I'm having issues with the nvidia driver and X. every time I try to start X I get a message stating "Error: API mismatch. This nvidia driver component has version 177.82, but the kernel version does not match". Any ideas? [03:38] nmq: take a look at write and talk [03:38] mkey will do, thanks [03:38] izinucs: im still on my orignal Os windows ep [03:38] nmq: you might consider to set up a jabber server, though [03:38] xp* [03:38] level15, i am not kiddin'... the thing is that i am getting a error that says "HugeFile='On'" [03:38] Installation question for anyone: My installer has paused at 87% on "Getting the time from a network time server" Any suggestions? [03:38] ryushe: dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [03:38] I just want the most basic === ghost is now known as Guest54779 [03:38] endoubt, and the rest of you have a good night. to the bar! [03:38] thanks endoubt, let me try that. [03:38] blacknred0: could you post your cmd and output on a pastebin? [03:38] the little info I found online so far isn't really working for me :( [03:39] nmq: alrite, then write is probably what you want [03:39] good luck level15 [03:39] ubuntunoo, you've obviously inserted the cd while still in windows.. do you want to keep windows on the computer and also have Ubuntu or would you like to wipe windows off and just have Ubuntu.. or still yet, do you want to just test Ubuntu out while in the windows environment? [03:39] budz0r: thanks [03:39] thanks [03:39] I'm using Ubuntu through Wubi, how can I view my Windows XP files when I'm in Ubuntu. What's the directory? [03:39] i would like to wipe windows off and just have ubuntu [03:39] izinucs: oh, good point, I didn't realize that's what he was doing [03:39] ubuntunoo: way to go! :P [03:39] izinucs: im just worried if ubunto doesnt work, then im screwed right? [03:39] Mike020: it's usually /media/disk [03:40] level15: sure i can do that...... give me couple of a mins and i'll do that. the file that i am trying to extract is 20gb, so it might take awhile [03:40] izinics: i mean i put the main files onto a cd (my picutes and stuff) === Jguy2 is now known as Jguy [03:40] Does anyone know what to do if the installer hangs when it's trying to get the time from a network time server?? [03:40] roley: is it connected to the internet? [03:40] nope [03:40] ubuntunoo, in that case leave the cd in the drive and reboot the computer.. if the boot order goes to cd first then the live cd will boot and you can test the functionality of Ubuntu on your hardware.. being a live cd it won't touch the harddrive until you actually install.. it'll be much slower but functional. [03:40] never was [03:41] blacknred0: woa... then i am guessing the command is fine... you are just probably hitting some zip program, fs or kernel limit [03:41] the update servers are slow, is there any other special way to update that would be better such as some sort of bittorrent updater? [03:41] roley: any way you can connect it while it's installing? Linux loves to be connected to the internet during install [03:41] endoubt: lol [03:41] ubuntunoo, if there are issues then with the live cd come back here and talk about them.. there might be answers to the issues.. when ready double click the install icon [03:41] endoubt: I don't see Disk in my Media directory [03:41] izinuc: i re-botted my comp with live cd in and it says to choose windows xp or ubuntu [03:41] izinic: i just choose ubuntu i will tell u what happens next [03:41] I could but is that going to help it now? [03:42] mesh11: use a mirror close to you. [03:42] i just downgraded ruby 1.8.7 to 1.8.6. synaptic shows version 1.8.6 installed, but doing "ruby -v" shows 1.8.7.... how can i get these on the same page? [03:42] ubuntunoo, ok [03:42] Mike020: usually there is a link on the desktop called "40gb media" or something similar [03:42] level15: yeap...... that is what i thought... but i just wanted to make sure to see if i was doing something wrong....... i have a backed up file and i really don't know how i could extract that 20gb file form the zip......... any thoughts? [03:42] endoubt: Nevermind, I found it in Host [03:42] Hello all, i'm having a problem with sound: firefox won't play flash videos (YouTube) properly, The video works fine, but all I get is scratchy bleeps and bloops for sound... recently upgraded to 8.10. [03:43] blacknred0: let's see the err to figure out whose fault it is [03:43] where do I find a list of apt update servers? I can only find mirrors for the distro itself. [03:43] Anybody know of any way to add a screensaver? I already have it in the format of a linux distro, still GNOME, so I think the source code would be basically identical. [03:43] hey guys i just installed ubuntu from vista....how do i access the files in vista from ubuntu ? [03:43] roley: someone on the ubuntu had more luck using the installer after the livecd loaded, instead of choosing 'install ubuntu' from the livecd menu [03:43] izinucs: a loading screen with a organge bar going back and forth like a game of ping [03:43] mesh11: usually a google search for repositories will give you all sorts of goodies [03:43] or you could use the alternate cd, but your current install is pretty hosed [03:43] ubuntunoo: that's a good thing [03:43] ubuntunoo, that's good.. it might take a minute or two [03:43] jjk2: Try looking in the host directory [03:44] thanks endoubt :) [03:44] mesh11: system->admin->software sources (or whatever it is in english) there is a dropdown box for the mirror [03:44] Mike020: host ? [03:44] how you install ubuntu from vista? [03:44] rmitchell: That's what I did [03:44] the cd [03:44] roley: sometimes the alternate cd works better [03:44] i just downgraded ruby 1.8.7 to 1.8.6. synaptic shows version 1.8.6 installed, but doing "ruby -v" shows 1.8.7.... how can i get these on the same page? [03:44] endoubt: tried the reconfigure thing, still no joy, get the exact same message as before :( [03:44] so anyone knows what i need to install to be able to play aacplus streams? [03:45] so anyone knows what i need to install to be able to play aacplus streams? [03:45] I've had mixed results on different systems with the alternate and the live cd's, no universal conclusion [03:45] if this alternate cd works so well why is it the alternate? "{ [03:45] :P [03:45] dual boot&? or you deleted your vista first [03:45] I'm just ranting, it's not the end of the world [03:45] roley, its text based, not beginner friendly [03:45] ryushe: can you get into ubuntu to see a desktop at all? [03:45] izinucs: ok well a peachish background came up, the sound of bongos played, then the screen just went black [03:45] ahhhhhhhhhhhh I see [03:45] roley: ppl likes GUI installers [03:45] no [03:45] jjk2: In your File Browser go to File System > host [03:45] Guest54779: dual bot [03:45] ubuntunoo, what kind of video card do you have.? [03:45] ohletmeinnowgodd, try faac [03:45] izinucs: before the backgroudn loaded it said something like timedout.... [03:46] Mike020: thanks!!!! [03:46] it'll start the 'loading Ubuntu' screen, then drops me at a blinking underscore, at which point I've now switched to first tty [03:46] izinics: o god i have no idea to be honest with you [03:46] roley, if you set up your partitions already in the GUI installer, you shouldn't have too much trouble with the alt cd [03:46] izinics: give me a sec [03:46] startx and tailing the x log file gives me the same error :( [03:46] ryushe: what model nvidia card is it? [03:46] ubuntunoo, is this a newer computer? [03:46] jjk2: No problem, I just found it out right before you came in lol [03:46] should be a GF8800 GT [03:46] izinics: its a dell [03:47] no its not a new computer [03:47] you lucky!! try places than computer) [03:47] ryushe: was it working before and then stopped working or are you trying to install for the first time? [03:47] izinics: i mean if i use wbui i can get to the peachish background and it wont go black [03:47] first time install to disk, although it's worked under windows and the Ubuntu and Mint live CDs [03:47] ubuntunoo, on reboot you had a menu that gave you the choice of windows or ubuntu.. did you install ubuntu already with wubi? [03:48] izinucs: should i use wubi, get to login screen then go to terminal mode and put some commands in [03:48] no i did not [03:48] i uninstalled before i use the cd [03:48] Anybody know if/how I can install a new screensaver to Ubuntu (ported from openSUSE, so transcoding probably wont be /too much/ of an issue. [03:48] ubuntunoo, uninstalled what? [03:48] last resort it to completely reinstall I guess [03:48] Izinucs: ubuntu using wubi [03:48] ryushe: so it finishes installing in the live environment and then when it goes to reboot it dumps you with the error? [03:48] pretty much yes [03:49] ubuntunoo, so wubi was first and you uninstalled that .. except now when you boot you still get a menu? [03:49] ryushe: what's the exact error again? [03:49] I've tried downloading a newer nvidia driver, but to no avail, installing it just gives me same error but with newer version number for the driver [03:49] " [03:49] How can I reinstall/fix all my drivers while still keeping my settings/setup/files? I just upgraded to 8.10 and have problems with firefox playing flash video sound, i only get scratchy feedback [03:49] izinucs: wubi i used first, installed that no icons on destop, uninstalled using wubi once again [03:49] izinucs: yes i sitll get a menu [03:50] Izinucs: is that bad? [03:50] euh "Error: API mismatch: this NVIDIA driver component has version 177.82, but the NVIDIA kernel module's version does not match" [03:50] meistergrado: google search for "reconfigure alsa" [03:50] ubuntunoo, with the black screen displaying can you click ctrl+alt+F3 and get a different black screen with a prompt? [03:50] izinucs: lemme try [03:50] endoubt: thanks, I am aware it has something to do with that... I will try that. [03:50] <\slash> anyone here use eclipse?? im having compilation errors.. [03:50] izinuc: nope [03:51] <\slash> javac runs fine [03:51] because Amarok plays MP3s fine. its output plugin is OSS. [03:51] izinuc: with the livecd in tray, should it give the option to choose ubuntu or windows at boot? [03:52] how do i increase the hd space allocated to ubuntu? during install in vista, i only gave ubuntu 4gb....now i want to increase this to like 12gb [03:52] ubuntunoo, when you reboot you might try to get into the bios of the machine and look at the boot order.. in fact on a dell you might be able to hit a key on boot to boot directly from the cd.. if there is that option reboot and choose that.. otherwise you'll have to look in the bios to rearrange the boot order of things so the cd is first and the harddrive is second.. then you should be able to boot dir [03:52] ectly to the cd without encountering the menu. [03:52] ryushe: check out this post http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=92885 [03:53] endoubt: So I should update to the latest version of alsa?

[04:02] endoubt: I could just use 27-7, 27-9 is the one after the update [04:02] izinucs: the livecd from which i burend using the iso image [04:03] gigel2006: my broadcomm driver just got all the kinks worked out a week ago and I'm on hardy [04:03] ubuntunoo, click install ubuntu.. it won't .. it'll just take you to the live desktop.. [04:03] gigel2006: can you roll it back? [04:03] iz: ok [04:03] gigel12006, i believe you can force the kernal to stay at a version that works, i.e. 27-7 [04:03] gigel2006 I'm running 8.04... assuming you mean 8.10 [04:03] hey all, anyone know how to add Fn functionality to my toshiba tablet, i know it has to do with kernel and acpi ? or has this not been fixed ? [04:03] hi [04:03] endoubt: sure, since on boot it can give you the option for the original one that was installed [04:03] bbbthunda: yeah I was , sorry [04:04] izinuc: well im back to th ping=pong orange bar again [04:04] rmitchell: yes you don't have to force it, you have the 27-7 option on boot [04:04] gigel2006: is there some other reason to be with the new kernel? [04:04] endoubt: no but I thought new would be better :) [04:04] Haha, this channel is 1337. (Total users) [04:04] * rmitchell thinks he'll hold off on updating his kernel [04:04] endoubt: that's why they work on it no ? [04:05] * endoubt learned to stick with what works when the machine he is on is crucial to everyday tasks. [04:05] I was going to upgrade but ever since I got my broadcom wl driver in hardy I'm gonna stick with it for a while :) [04:05] Has anyone else had a problem with evolution's spam filter not working appropriately and showing errors at the bottom of the screen stretching it to multiple desktops? [04:05] it was a hard lesson to learn, as much as I like screwing with my computers [04:05] endoubt: why is hardy good ? [04:05] Rolcol: ye i have i just diasabled the bogfilter [04:06] gigel12006, hardy is the Long Term Release, so it tends to be more stable [04:06] izinuc: it said after loading [04:06] the sound is garbage though.. how can you tell if you have pulseaudio or alsa enabled? [04:06] my under taskbar hide [04:06] mike4263: I love the new broadcomm sta wireless driver [04:06] rmitchell: i got the drivers installed, but it wont connect to my network [04:06] ubuntunoo, ?? [04:06] "time up waiting for clear bb4o bug or something like that [04:06] b1n42y: mine seemed to fix itself when I declared items as spam [04:06] how can i show back my bellow taskbar [04:06] rmitchell: i cant seem to get the card turned on [04:06] endoubt: its awesome. I can put my laptop to sleep!! [04:06] izinuc: now a desktop came up [04:06] tpw_rules, when you click on your wireless icon in the tray, can you see the network(s)? [04:06] Rolcol : hmm mabye different problem then [04:07] mike4263: I can use the WPA enterprise at school now [04:07] how do we tweak network and connection settings? [04:07] rmitchell: what about kubuntu, it's the same as 8.10 but just has kde instead of gnome ? [04:07] b1n42y: mine showed that it was a problem with bogfilter [04:07] rmitchell: no [04:07] izinuc: a box came up which says install [04:07] Rolcol: same problem then ;p [04:07] rmitchell: i tried the hidden network, but it failed [04:07] before my keyboard would just become unresponsive to any inputs, rendering the entire system unusable [04:07] mike4263: I just sent someone off with this guide to reconfigure alsa the right way http://kkubasik.wordpress.com/2008/03/31/sound-problems-in-ubuntu-hardy/ [04:07] gigl2006, yes [04:08] izinuc: it says to answer followng questions [04:08] ubuntunoo, that's a new one on me.. there is a wiki or something on dell's site for linux.. you might investigate there and search for your specific dell to see what issues people are having.. I suspect that there's a piece of hardware that's hanging everything up.. My new motherboard is like that.. took me two days to find an answer. [04:08] that + the new 64 bit flash means I can finally rid my system of ndiswrapper [04:08] what is the appeal of 64 bit? [04:08] Rolcol: gmail filters my spam so i just turned bog off [04:08] endoubt: after completing the last step of that, I get an error: Build of the package alsa-source failed! I have the options of VIEW, CONTINUE, and STOP [04:08] gigel2006: kubuntu is ubuntu + kde, yes. I don't know if kubuntu had an 8.04 LTS, though... seem to remember something about them not having one [04:08] tpw_rules, were you able to 'sudo modprobe ath_pci'? [04:08] meistergrado: oh boy, view? [04:08] Hey all. [04:08] rmitchell: btw try to use tab funtion for auto complete, I had to look through the whole chat to see if you wrote to me since you got my nickname spelt wrong my client didnt pick it up [04:08] thanks, I've configured it before and it usually works. But its just not working for whatever reason and I'd like to restart the server [04:08] view: examine the build log file [04:08] b1n42y: comcast is my default email... I'm trying to use it less [04:09] endoubt, touch faster, virtualization support [04:09] rmitchell: yes [04:09] gigl2006, my bad, caught it after i entered it [04:09] rmitchell: lol you just did it again [04:09] izinuc: ok well do, thanks for all ur help appreciate it [04:09] rmitchell: and it shows a grayed out 'Wireless Networks' in the tray menu that wasnt there before [04:09] CONTINUE: skip and continue with the next operation, or STOP: stop processing the build commands [04:09] Rolcol: gmail is ok if u dont have account geta mate to send u invite [04:10] meistergrado: try skipping [04:10] lol [04:10] ubuntunoo, np.. sorry I can't be of more help [04:10] I will [04:10] b1n42y: gmail is public now [04:10] b1n42y: you don't need to get invites for gmail any more :) [04:10] b1n42y: no need to invites [04:10] *for [04:10] Rolcol: but still beta :-) [04:10] tpw_rules, you're sure your wifi button/switch is on? [04:10] if anyone knows how to add acpi to kernel so my tablet PC has Fn and dynamic cpu switching can u PM me plz [04:10] endoubt: everything google always is. Android Market Beta... [04:10] Am I gay if my favorite gmail theme is tea house? [04:11] I have a common problem, but I haven't gotten any fixes, WHY is the wireless signal so LOW in ubuntu, I am using the usb alfa which is using either rtl8187 or r8187, but both of them run with much lower singnals than in windows, What an I do I don't want to quit using ubunut ?? [04:11] rmitchell: thats the prob, not sure [04:11] rww: ohh ok [04:11] rww: ive had it for ageeeeeeeeessss [04:11] endoubt: I am going to restart to see if that did anything. I hit skip and it went back to the terminal [04:11] b1n42y, try compiling your own kernel, it's not all that difficult on Debian based systems [04:11] rmitchell: its a slider so i slide to toggle, but i cant get the light that says 'on' to light up :/ [04:11] it works perfectly in windoze [04:11] gigel2006, some cards report the signal lower than it is, unless you find it actually is lower.. [04:12] rmitchell: I tried the text based installer. seemed to work, then it hangs at "Scanning the mirror" for apt configure... and this time it's succesfully wired into the network!? [04:12] rmitchell: it's not about reporting, but it is lower, you can check with ping and speed tests, the connection also fluctuates [04:12] That was odd. [04:12] Jewfro-Macabbi: : mmm so many projects im working on atm, was hoping for a shortcut, nvm ill add it to do list [04:12] * endoubt is out for a smoke. [04:13] iz: just want to know if i wanted to repalce my whole os with ubunix, how wud i do that? [04:13] anyone knows how to test if the NIC drivers are installed or not? === NiaGhost is now known as Niamor [04:14] roley, that is strange... not a good day for an install i guess... [04:14] ubuntunoo, well if the live cd doesn't run the chances of it working without knowing what is currently wrong now is slim.. you have to solve that issue first. [04:14] izinuc: i think i have [04:14] mixed-_-: lsmod? [04:14] ubuntunoo, really.. what's the answer? [04:14] izinuc: im going through th esteps to set everthing up like name, country place, how much space and stuff [04:15] ubuntunoo, so the screen is working? good .. just keep going and for space tell it to use the entire drive.. [04:16] tpw_rules, i found another tutorial. google 'ar242x ubuntu ibex' and check out the 3rd link down [04:16] b1n42y, http://paste.debian.net/22539 - for future reference [04:16] izinuc: iwas right! my ada wasl ike dont do that and blah made me go back [04:16] my dad* [04:16] god it takes so long to install programs....it tkaes forever to download [04:16] rmitchell: thanks, will try [04:17] gotta go to bed now [04:17] !alsa [04:17] If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 [04:17] So my girlfriend's PC developed a problem after patching to 8.10 (I think), a few seconds after boot she can access the file system... it's like her user id has lost permission to it. Any ideas? [04:17] ubuntunoo, so he stopped you from installing or are you continuing? [04:17] er, can't access the file system [04:18] join #emacs [04:18] could anyone tell me what the bash command is to create a file? [04:18] Oneiroii: ok i run lsmod, what am i looking for? [04:18] I have installed sun jre from repo's for loading java applet in browser but still it doesnt run, do I have to manually install java ? [04:18] Diav: can root/sudo access it? [04:18] <\slash> fourregs mkdir [04:18] foureggs: touch [04:18] you can also cat > someFile [04:18] foureggs: touch "filename" [04:18] <\slash> err [04:18] <\slash> file lol my bad [04:18] <\slash> i thought dir [04:18] izinic: no he stoped me from usingfull thinking i cant install anything up, but i fixed it [04:19] I usually use cat as a quick way to c+p something into new filles [04:19] rmitchell is there a way to stop the installer from using the internet during the install so this stupid thing doesn't stall? [04:19] izinic: i finished the last step and its now installing system [04:19] cat > newFile; CTRL+SHIFT+V; CTRL+D [04:19] ubuntunoo, so you're running the live cd? or back to windows? or what? [04:19] mixed-_-: I don't know - whatever the name of your NIC driver is [04:19] i have intel chipset compiz not working wats the solution ? [04:19] endoubt: Yes and no. I can access it with sudo provided I start terminal before it happens. So I have to be quick... but I can't start terminal after it happens. It's very difficult to do. I can only do one or two clicks before it happens. [04:19] izinic: still using livecd [04:20] izinic: its just installing now i suppose [04:20] endoubt: Point is I'm not sure if I can reproduce it, but I did get into terminal once. [04:20] ubuntunoo, cool.. will your dad approve? or be pissed? [04:20] roley, not sure, you may be able to skip the network setup part of it [04:20] someone test my sounds by saying my name [04:20] so what's the difference between ubuntu and gentoo? [04:21] endoubt, sound test [04:21] endoubt: [04:21] izinuc: no no he just thought, if i choose use full space, then i cant install any other programs lol [04:21] samurai_spud: well, ubuntu is based on debian and uses .debs. gentoo is primarily a source based distro [04:21] thanks, had to switch it to alsa in the preferences :-) [04:21] so if you like to sit around while while stuff is compiling then gentoo is for you! [04:21] endoubt: No change in youtube videos. still scratchy junk :( [04:22] I suppose I could just reinstall... but I've had to do that after prior updates... and I'm not looking forward to doing it again. Getting her printer/copier/scanner to work takes forever. [04:22] meistergrado: are you on a 64 bit system by chance? [04:22] meistergrado: any luck with another browser? like opera? [04:22] ubuntunoo, full install takes less space than windows.. and it has all the programs you need typically.. then you can add tons more. [04:22] I am on a 64 bit system [04:22] izinics: yes yes glad i choose to do so :D [04:22] adobe just released a alpha 64bit version of flash 10 [04:22] with ubuntu x64 [04:22] izinics: im up to 37% [04:22] its not perfect, but its better then the alternatives [04:23] I will try both downloading the new flash 10 x64, and also opera [04:23] I still don't understand 64 bit systems, the performance increase is negligible and the headaches are double [04:23] yeah but the flash 10 alpha and the icetea plugin for ffox don't seem to play well for my system... [04:23] geuss urpmi doesnt work on ubuntu? [04:23] it's all about precision [04:23] ubuntunoo, I take it this is your machine? [04:23] So, no ideas? 3-5 seconds after gnome starts the file-system is read-only to the user I'm logged in as. Works fine that first 3-5 seconds, doesn't work after... can't even access ~ [04:23] I'm currently on a java project, so I have like 6 different jdks [04:23] izinics: yes it is my personal machine [04:23] its currently a mess [04:24] izinic: the one i am on now is my lil bros which is vista [04:24] ubuntunoo, you in college yet? [04:24] because the openjdk 64bit won't display gui apps properly [04:24] izinics; no i am a junior in highschool [04:24] and there are random crashes with some of them [04:24] Diav: roll back to the old kernel [04:24] how can i tell what kind of wifi card my laptop has? [04:24] ericjung: lspci [04:24] No volume control Gstreamer plugins and/or devices found. What happened my sound card was working just fine i restarted and now i get this? [04:24] endoubt: I booted with a prior kernel, same issue. [04:25] ubuntunoo, you're pretty adventerous.. it's a great time for you to learn linux.. I'll help you a lot in the future.. [04:25] Diav: create a new user and see if it happens to them too [04:25] ubuntunoo: take the plunge. you won't regret it [04:25] endoubt: thx [04:25] izinuc: haha thank you =], its just windows xp is so boring and i heard about ubutnu on a forum, wanted to try something new and i always loved the way linux designs its OS [04:26] ubuntunoo, It's a good place to be.. I'm just an old dog learning new tricks [04:26] after using linux I have a lot of respect for Microsoft and the Windows line [04:26] ubuntunoo: if your system is powerful enough, you can also install XP under VirtualBox [04:26] I'll try, brb. [04:26] how do you make an operating system that just works with every piece of hardware you throw at it? [04:27] the .deb download of Opera didn't install. says wrong architecture (i386) [04:27] izinics: hehe lol ill be the same as u hopefully one day, o and btw if ur wondering why my username is ubuntounoo, i tried writing ubuntunoob [04:27] endoubt, you strong arm the manufactures to build drivers for you [04:27] little typo [04:27] engage in monopolistic practices and force manufacturers to conform to your operating system [04:27] endoubt, you practice the darkest of dark arts [04:27] mike4263: bingo [04:27] ubuntunoo, /nick [04:28] wow, some pessimistic views from the peanut gallery :-) [04:28] ok === ubuntunoo is now known as ubuntulover [04:28] why does pidgin hate me? [04:28] izinuc: thanks [04:28] ubuntulover, np :-) [04:28] As soon as i run Pidgin i got Audio problems [04:28] Al1: dont u use pidgin for irc? [04:29] No i use xchat [04:29] I have little respect for Mac, because to me, they're worse than windows, design a Unix operating system and have total control over the hardware so that you know it always works [04:29] Al1: ah ok [04:29] ubuntulover, xchat for the gui and irssi for the terminal .. after install learn them and love them [04:29] endoubt: it'll work for like 3 or 4 revisions until they abandon you completely [04:29] i have /etc/default/wpasupplicant but no /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf [04:29] what is diff between synaptics and yum ? [04:30] I have a friend who has a tiger system that he cant get new software for [04:30] izinucs: i gotta leatn all this terminal stuff, just gotta get ubunto to wkr and im set to go [04:30] jj2k: yum is rpm based, synaptic is deb based [04:30] Could someone please help me diagnose this problem? [04:30] yum is also command line [04:30] what is rpm and deb ? [04:30] is wpasupplicant the same as wpa_supplicant? [04:30] aptitude is its equivalent [04:30] izinuc: well it looks like its done installing and screen went black onc e again, guess it takes time to load [04:31] ubuntulover: just wait until your X breaks and you HAVE to learn terminal :-) [04:31] bbbthunda: yes... although I've been thinking about it since I told you that. I'm not 100% sure if its used for WEP encryption [04:31] endoubt: lol [04:31] How do I install opera? downloading the ubuntu 8.10 .deb from their website did not work. [04:31] jjk2, synaptic is a gui based package management for deb based distros, yum is a cli based package manager for rpm based distros [04:31] rpm = red hat package managment deb = debian packages [04:31] i c [04:31] meistergrado, apt-get install opera [04:31] what is the significance of those [04:32] mike4263: from the research I've done so far it seems like it is [04:32] izinuc: false alarm the black screen was just a screensaver, its still installing [04:32] meistergrado, go to http://www.getdeb.net and get it there.. [04:32] meistergrado: check out ubernoobs post on this thread http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=75940 [04:32] well, if your using ubuntu you dont need to worry about yum or rpm [04:32] ubuntulover, takes a total of about 30-40 minutes. [04:32] jjk2, depending on the distro of linux you run you would use them for installing/updating/removing software packages [04:32] To all: so im taking it everyone here is in colleage or above? [04:32] yes [04:32] ubuntulover, about 3 hours faster then win with all the updates. [04:33] so if im running xubuntu? [04:33] <\slash> how do i get a list of apt-get applications [04:33] what if im running centOS [04:33] thats deb [04:33] centos is rpm then [04:33] xubuntu uses synaptic, centos uses yum [04:33] damn they need to make ubuntu boot faster =\ [04:33] I'm a 24 y/o sophomore in telecomm engineering [04:33] endoubt: really cool =] [04:34] ubuntulover, I went to college once, it was boring.

Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [04:34] sorry goat [04:34] lol [04:34] you can also use that list to reinstall your old packages if you decide to do a fresh install vs upgrade [04:35] Can anyone tell me how to set VLC as the default dvd playing application? I have tried opening up "preffered applications" but it only lets me choose between totem and rythembox [04:35] I feel like we're in a sweatshop [04:35] *cracks whip* [04:35] Lol!

[04:36] iz: it said installtion complete: now i just retarded [04:37] ghang, you might find it in ~/.amule [04:37] I can't get it [04:37] I am really only trying to install opera to see if it reacts any different than firefox to flash videos... I'd like to try to fix this some other way :-\ [04:37] a , I got it , thanks , is aMule [04:37] missing a upper case , thanks you [04:38] meistergrado: is it 64 bit firefox [04:38] meistergrado, did you install the flashplugin-nonfree? and if you did, do you also have gnash or one of the other flash driver installed at the same time.. ONE AT A TIME only.. [04:38] is firefox the 64-bit version? [04:38] meistergrado, I went through this the other night... if you are on amd64 or what not, install the alpha flash 10 player... Disable icetea *or* avoid javascript while viewing flash [04:39] yeah, go with the alpha version of 10 [04:39] whats the best way to add windows to grub? [04:39] I cant seem to get it to work [04:39] ive been trying a few different methods [04:39] endoubt: Well, another user works totally fine. [04:39] meistergrado, then disable flash while browsing everything else. it sort of sucks but it beats segfaulting when I view gmail, or not being able to use sliderocket.com [04:39] I have gone through so many installations of different flash players, etc, i think i've sort of mangled the ubuntu installation up, so there I think a fresh install would be better... how do I find out what i've done it? [04:39] what I've done to it* [04:40] endoubt: One obvious difference I noticed was on her account the indexer starting to scan seemed to corrispond with when the problem starts. [04:40] meistergrado, I tried opera, same lack of joy. [04:40] But I can't disable it. [04:40] izinuc: well the same black screen came up, i guess ima have to play around and stuff and eventaully get it myself === LF|Irssi is now known as __BSD__ [04:40] Thanks for all ur help everyone [04:40] How can I find out if i've installed the non-free flash? [04:40] Diav: easiest thing to do would be to import her settings to the new user and scap the old one [04:40] that black screen is wonderful :) [04:40] By the time I can get into the indexer settings the ID has already lost access and I can't update them. [04:40] meistergrado, no, you will be ok, just dpkg -P the flash installs, maybe nuke your .mozilla/plugins [04:40] meistergrado, go to synaptic and search for flash .. once there uninstall all flash players except the non free one. [04:40] Diav: user issues in linux can get quite complicated [04:40] hi what driver should i be looking for w/ my Ethernet card with a chip ID number: DL100305? please help....... [04:41] izunics: will do [04:41] meistergrado, then install flash 10 alpha player. [04:41] nivektrio: your ethernet wasn't supported out of box? is it new hardware [04:41] endoubt: Alright, well thanks for the help. [04:41] what is "dpkg -P?" [04:41] meistergrado: after that you can "sudo updatedb" and then "sudo locate flash" and physicall delete all the references to it so that you don't get stuck with cached packages and whatnot [04:41] nuke = straight up delete? [04:41] * samurai_spud has user issues and requires a large pointy object to deal with them effectively. [04:41] I typically expect ethernet to just work [04:41] hi, if anyone has a second i have a stupid question.

[04:43] is there an easy way to run firefox from a USB stick while saving all it's settings to that USB stick as well? [04:43] mike4263: desktop. [04:43] if anyone is searching for a cheap Hardy compatible laptop my Compaq C500 works beautifully right out of the box [04:43] Does anyone know of a way to save quicktime files to local disc on linux? I have quicktime pro on my windos box, but there is no official quicktime pro for linux that i know of... [04:43] in add/remove applications, I have Gnash, macromedia flash plugin, and GStreamer ffmpeg video plugin installed [04:44] I'm sure those are not playing well together. [04:44] i cannot uninstall gnash, however [04:44] meistergrado, gstreamer is probably ok.. get rid of gnash and macromedia flash plugin [04:44] meistergrado, from synaptic? [04:45] "Cannot remove 'gnash' [04:45] One or more applications depend on gnash.

[04:47] ubuntulover: once you're in the recovery console type "fixmbr" and then you'll be back on track [04:47] izinucs: which gnash-related things should I remove from synaptic? [04:47] ubuntulover, ok.. what do you mean.. it doesn't work? [04:47] does anyone know how to open a tgz file?

[04:52] neeto: try " sudo fdisk -l " [04:53] mike4263, I think he just needs to reconfigure his video drivers.. but I can't stick around and do it. [04:53] ah [04:53] mike4263, just the stock drivers. [04:53] ubuntulover wiped out his windows partition? [04:53] anyone know why i have to hold down a key to get ubuntu to boot?

[04:53] what key do you have to hold down [04:53] Hi guys, I recently updated to openoffice 3 and everything went ok. After the installation, spell checker does not work properly and now highlights every word red, even as I type right now. Is there a simple solution to this? Thanks. [04:53] * rww bets on alt/option [04:54] iz: no man thiers nothing [04:54] iz: it just syas grub1.5 [04:54] endoubt -- it's the any key [04:54] :then back to the desktop with no icons [04:54] tommmied, check the configuration for OO in preferences for the named spell checker.. it probably doesn't have a default chosen [04:54] the loader shows the ubuntu logo (ubuntu studio) and it doesn't progress unless i hit a key [04:54] Alright, trying to install Flash 10 Alpha for 64bit [04:55] what is GRUB? [04:55] ubuntulover: I'm a bit confused as to what the issue is here. Are you chatting on an alternate box? can you boot into X and use it? [04:55] downloaded the tarball. [04:55] grub is the boot loader [04:55] !grub | ubuntulover [04:55] ubuntulover: GRUB is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - GRUB how-tos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto [04:55] Mike: im on antoher computer [04:55] how to stop the running process ?

[04:55] EvL_Gamer: according to a post I read, it will [04:55] prakash_621: ps aux | grep [04:55] izinucs, spell check works fine in open office, it is the rest of my applications that it does not, for instance I am using xchat and everything that I am typing is being highlighted in red. [04:55] I think Ubuntu [04:55] then kill -9 (which is the 2nd number) [04:55] took over windox xp compltlely [04:55] what is grub? thats definitely a newbi [04:56] yes its my first time with all of this stuff [04:56] sam_: everybody has to start somewhere [04:56] i dont care if im a newbi i am 1, but i just want to fix this [04:56] tommmied, wow.. that weird.. there's gotta be something under System>Preferences that should fix that.. [04:56] EvL_Gamer: ok, I found a better one https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1993 [04:56] rww / enddoubt / mike, my message above was for you [04:56] endoubt: Actually, I'm not sure my problem has anything to do with fsdisk -l. I am trying to find out what controls the discovery of SATA devices === droberts is now known as Ademan [04:57] izinucs, I looked on websites and they told me to check administration > language support [04:57] losetheshizzle: thats odd.. it tells to press the key? [04:57] tommmied, that sounds right. [04:57] I'm a newbi too [04:57] izinucs, the settings are correct there, but when i try to change something it removes my open office menu links haha [04:57] newbie is a relative term too [04:57] neeto: if ubuntu has any chance of seeing the drive, it would be show up in fdisk -l [04:57] is there a vinagre client for windows ? === Ademan is now known as Ademan[not_home] [04:58] !windows | viaSanctus [04:58] viaSanctus: For discussion on Microsoft Windows, or help with same, please visit ##windows. See http://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+bug/1 http://linux.oneandoneis2.org/LNW.htm and /msg ubottu equivalents [04:58] mike: no, it doesn't tell me to press it.. it just stalls.. pressing a key makes it go.. when i do recovery mode it looks like the problem starts at hardware detection [04:58] izinucs, it's very frustrating / annoying [04:58] neeto: err... would show up [04:58] the deeper you get, you realize there is a ton of stuff you completely don't understand [04:58] mike: but there are no errors [04:58] hrm [04:58] you honestly think those guys will know about such a client to connect to a ubuntu server? [04:58] endoubt: I understand. It is not on fdisk -l. It is no being discovered. I need to find out how it is being discovered to restart the service or somehow find out what is making it not work. [04:58] they won't even know what ubuntu is [04:58] is there no package for 'codeblocks' in ubuntu? [04:58] tommmied, installing the "latest" of something that is so integrated like Oo can be problemmatic [04:58] Thanks mike4263 [04:59] samurai_spud: how do I dpkg -p the flash installs and nuke my .mozilla/plugins? [04:59] izinucs, noticing that now. What are my options? [04:59] izinucs: I'm trying to install the .tar.gz of flash 10 alpha. how do I continue? [04:59] archangelpetro, yes, in intrepid. package codeblocks in universe repository [04:59] losetheshizzle: so, it'll hang on splash and wait for a keypress [04:59] neeto: what does "lspci | grep SATA" say [05:00] rww: intrepid??? [05:00] is that the next one up from hardy ? [05:00] To anyone: is their a number for support i cant contact??? [05:00] meistergrado, never done it.. sorry but to nuke the .mozilla/plugins you could just rename the directory.. mv ~/.mozilla ~/.mozilla.backup [05:00] can* [05:00] brb [05:00] i need to talk with someone [05:00] mike4263: yeah - that's exactly what happens.. in recovery mode when you can watch it load, it always happens at the same place.. starts with USB something.. it seems like a problem with HAL [05:00] ubuntulover: do you have a windows xp cd? [05:00] no nunber lol [05:00] archangelpetro, yeah [05:00] hello [05:00] endoubt: i dont think so, ima probably have to get it from someone [05:01] How do I dpkg -P installations of flash players? [05:01] I lost my network manager in the panel after updating [05:01] endoubt: http://pastebin.ca/1270854 [05:01] ubuntulover: sorry, but I'm still not sure what your issue is. can you boot into X? If not where does it break [05:01] ok getting frustrated... anyone know how to set up wpa_supplicant? I'm not familiar with linux syntax for system config like devices, etc. [05:02] hrm, anyone here know of software I could use as an NNTP cache / NNTP proxy? [05:02] bbbthunda: whats your wireless card? [05:02] neeto: I'm guessing the Jmicron is the esata card?

(I have the same card, btw) [05:02] mike4263: I already extracted the firmware, etc. [05:02] neeto: well it's the SATA controller, it's attatched to 4 drives. [05:02] the default by ubuntu [05:03] ubuntulover: explain your problem again if can succint [05:03] ubuntulover: when you boot with the windows xp install cd it will give you an option for the recovery console, when you're in the recovery console, type "fixmbr" and then you're windows should be back as long as you didn't nuke it with ubuntu [05:03] mike4263: I was using one that was called something like Broadcom B43 Wireless and now when I look at my hardware it just says wl [05:03] mike4263: any thoughts about what the problem is? [05:04] you should use the new STA wireless driver [05:04] losetheshizzle: no not really.. sorry [05:04] mike4263: i've tried about 20 different solutions at this point, so I'm sure there is some sort of mess that needs to be cleaned up [05:04] what is cups ? ? ?

[05:06] it's telling me there are 4 items in there, but opening the bin shows nothing [05:06] good evening people [05:06] gigel2006, try looking in the Users folder instead of the Documents and Settings folder. D&S in Vista is just a link to Users\Username\ [05:07] Help with .mozilla/plugins: trying to get rid of all other flash installs before installing flash 10 alpha [05:07] herenbdy, open the bin and hit Ctrl-H [05:07] rww: ok I will [05:07] anyone know how i can capture boot logs for a bug report?

Do I need to get rid of it/replace it? [05:07] odd, it's still showing nothing, and Show hidden Files is checked in View [05:07] herenbdy, ctrl + H unhides hidden directories but that flag will probably dissappear after rebooting. that sometimes happens [05:07] meistergrado: probably [05:07] sam_: I upgraded from 8.04 (disc) to 8.10 from net - will copying 8.04 version cause trouble? [05:08] losetheshizzle, if you need kernel/driver messages, use dmesg [05:08] mike4263: should I just delete it? libtotem plugins are there too [05:08] thanks dmesg.. i think that's what i need [05:08] my trash icon in the panel says 4 items, bin shows nothing even while Show Hidden Items is checked [05:08] i mean thans rww [05:08] mjec or find some who has ubuntu intrepid (if that's the version you are running, and copy file [05:08] meistergrado: I'd probably copy it elsewhere just to be safe [05:08] alright [05:08] sam_: thanks [05:09] How do I install drivers with ndiswrapper via CLI?

[05:13] yeah teach them [05:13] how do you list devices that are not recognized, like my wireless is not after a install of 8.10? [05:13] meistergrado: really? [05:13] ls -a from within the Trash folder just shows an empty files and info folder [05:13] endoubt: installing flash player alpha 10 did nothing for sound [05:13] herenbdy, that's very odd. tried logging out and back in? [05:13] still scratchy grr. also, amarok does not work with ALSA, I need to put it to OSS for mp3s to play [05:14] paq7512-> lshw [05:14] Once I tell ndiswrapper to use driver for devid, how do I make the card work? :O [05:14] meistergrado: you probably broke your alsa with the module-assistant install I told you about :-( [05:14] brb gotta go potty [05:14] endoubt: it didn't even work beforehand :( [05:14] <__BSD__> TMI sam_ [05:14] i cant edit menu.lst Flannel ? what to do ? i used sudo edit /boot/grub/menu.lst [05:15] hello? === Cueball_ is now known as Cueball [05:15] Once I tell ndiswrapper to use driver for devid, how do I make the card work? :O [05:15] meistergrado: have you tried building alsa from source with all the dependencies taken care of?

Try logging out of both your users, then logging into the broken one. If the applet doesn't show up, issue nm-applet from the terminal and see if it shows up. If it still doesn't show up, do sudo /etc/init.d/NetworkManager stop then sudo /etc/init.d/NetworkManager start from the terminal.

I've found that during the ordinary install my wireless card is will not connect but will work fine after the install, could this be a problem? I still want to use Ubuntu but using a more cut down version [06:45] prakash_621: the root account's disabled by default. NOBODY can log into it. [06:45] it's already protected prak [06:45] prakash_621: how can someone get into your root account now? [06:45] prakash_621: it's more protected disabled than passworded. [06:46] sudo vi /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist [06:46] whoops wrong window :) [06:46] Oh , Thanks, meshll, rww ryty. [06:46] prakash: it's protected to the point of the strength of you sudo password [06:46] prakash_621: for more information, read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo (which I already linked you to) [06:46] No one knows anything about the minimal discs. >_> [06:47] Meta: ask in #ubuntu-server. I think they use them. [06:47] But it's not a Ubuntu Server disc. [06:47] It's this: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD [06:48] What I kinda want is to be able to customise what packages *I* want. [06:48] hi [06:48] cbrunner__: "sudo /etc/init.d/samba restart" on the ubuntu box [06:48] Meta: oh, that one. It doesn't come with much of anything, and downloads what it needs from the web. That should include your wireless drivers. [06:48] rww: I rely on my wireless to get me on the internet. [06:48] anyone getting segfaults with the latest build of network-manager in libc-2.8.90.so? [06:48] Can some someone remind me of a untility that configures xorg.conf?

[06:49] i need some help [06:49] !ask | Al1 [06:49] Al1: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [06:49] relisys: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [06:50] thank you endoubt [06:50] endoubt, I have restarted the box and restarted samba many times, didnt work [06:50] my soundcard is being stupid i am trying to install pulseaudio using http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=4928900 but when i get to step 5 [06:50] the application doesnt open [06:50] i tried to start from root shell , startx. it went to GUI with username root. Is that possible ? [06:50] Hmmm... Do the init scripts wait for the previous one to finish, before starting the next one? Or do they just start in the defined order? [06:50] cbrunner__: hmmm [06:50] does anyone have the green video with your camera in skype? [06:51] Hi all. I've set up name-based vhosts on apache on my ubuntu box. The vhosts are working, and can be seen from the localhost. However, other hosts on my network attempting to get my vhosts get 404 errors from apache. Why can't external hosts get service ? [06:51] cbrunner__: what is the error again? [06:51] What is skype ? [06:51] prakash_621: are you using a live cd, or is it installed on your hard drive? [06:51] hateball: by default, they wait [06:51] prakash_621: god's gift to geeks [06:52] hi guys, where are source files kept by default if you install them from apt? [06:52] meshll, installed on my harddrive [06:52] feross: they're not source, they're binaries [06:52] prakash: skype is an Voip client === lianimator1 is now known as lianimator [06:52] hi [06:52] welcome to china [06:52] endoubt: please tell me why is it sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg does not setup my video hardware and jumps directly to the keyboard setup and then closes? [06:52] so which is it? two or six? [06:52] then no, you should not be under username root in the gui [06:52] rww™ Alright... I'm wanting to put update && upgrade in a shutdown/reboot script, and wanted to be sure the machine wont halt midway through [06:52] is there any one from china [06:52] Viop is voice over inernet protocol: phone online [06:53] It's an odd problem, because the external hosts can definatly get service from apache, but it's they get 404's. [06:53] sam_ don't you mean voice internet over protocol ;) [06:53] sam, Is skype free service to speak in the internet ? [06:53] endoubt: well I need to compile the sis driver so the instructions say I need the X sources which I think I installed with apt-get install xserver-xorg.dev but I can't find them... [06:53] thanks mesh [06:53] feross: you'll have to go and download the source directly from the software provider [06:54] sam_ I was just kidding though (you typed viop instead of voip) [06:54] endoubt: doh!! ok I'll look into that thanks [06:54] Can anybody point me to instructions on repairing a root fs that is xfs on raid5? I upgraded 8.04 to 8.10 and now / is mounting ro. [06:54] sam: it's free if you go computer to computerm, butcosts if you go to phoneline or cell basically [06:54] I'm trying to use a workaround the green vid in skype but I get this: ERROR: ld.so: object '/usr/lib32/libv4l/v4l1compat.so' from LD_PRELOAD cannot be preloaded: ignored. [06:54] relisys: hmm...it seems that the developers have changed the way that dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg works [06:54] hi! i just move to linux for a while nad still try to catch up with it. i'm using ubuntu 8.10 now and i 've need some help..could anybody...? [06:54] clarkn0va, sudo apt-get install xfsprogs [06:54] !ask | ashuran [06:54] ashuran: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [06:55] endoubt: so what do i do now [06:55] Sam, How can i talk with friend in NZ, through this skype ? [06:55] clarkn0va, then man xfs_repair [06:55] heya toworsix [06:55] skype [06:55] I know skype [06:55] I need to generate a proper xorg.conf for my monitor [06:55] I can't install a thing. I'm at a recovery console. xfs_repair -d /dev/md0 just gives an error. [06:55] how do you turn off the edge-of-screen-gravity in compiz i can't find it anywherE! [06:55] prakash_621 there are a couple of ways. If you both have skype, then it's free [06:55] I'm on a live cd atm. [06:55] relisys: I'm looking into it [06:56] Oh. Ok thanks mantis. [06:56] endoubt: thank you. [06:56] clarkn0va, what's the error? [06:56] prakash_621: if you want to call to a phone, then you need to buy skype credits. [06:56] prakash_621: I'm in NZ, and I use skype to talk to my dad in Qatar [06:56] relisys: try "sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg" [06:56] i'm using twinkle as my voip phone. but everytime i try to call sombody, my internet connection just cut off. and i have to restart my router to be back to normal again. do anybody know the reason...? [06:57] prakash: find the program you want-download it, and get a headset [06:57] how much will it cost to call from india to new zealand say about 1 minute talk ? [06:57] endoubt: trying [06:57] I keep getting a Restricted Driver for my nVidia driver. How do I get it to go away? [06:57] prakash_621: If you are both using skype, then it's free [06:57] HRshovinstuff, Snapping Windows in the Window Management section [06:57] Anyone know how to turn off the window gravity in compiz-fusion ??? [06:57] IIRC, something about a log needing to be replayed, "try mounting the fs first, if you can't mount it, then try xfs_repair -L". As mentioned, it's mounted ro, and "mount -o remount,rw /dev/md0" gives another error about mtab being read only. [06:57] distrojocky: thats off not it [06:57] prakash_621: http://skype.com/prices/ http://skype.com/prices/callrates/ [06:58] prakash_621: http://www.skype.com/prices/callrates/ [06:58] clarkn0va, you most likely will need to kill the log. [06:58] endoubt: :( nope it alterned nothing. it says overwriting and created identical file [06:58] endoubt: is there no other way? [06:58] I tried, using the -L switch, but that didn't work. [06:58] prakash_621: Alternatly, you can pay for some of skypes services. You will be able to do more than talk between two skype clients. More options will cost, but it can be cheaper than non-voip [06:58] is there a way to do a address redirect in ubuntu so i can redirect www.me.com to 127.0.0.1? [06:59] relisys: what exactly are you trying to do again? [06:59] vbman11: yeah. edit /etc/hosts [06:59] vbman11: edit your hosts file [06:59] prakash: some countries are free depending on which voip service you use [06:59] thanks!! [06:59] vbman11: there's instructions in the file for how to do it [06:59] endoubt: my refresh rate is off.. my screen is burning in to my eyes even right now [06:59] clarkn0va, what error did you getr using the -L parameter? [06:59] hi, i need some information. [06:59] "Proprietary drivers are being used to make this computer run properly", restricted driver for my nVidia drivers. I can't get this message to go away. Any help? [07:00] relisys: try "sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf" [07:00] Oh boy, not sure if I recall. It wouldn't reset for some reason. [07:00] i have to edit this manualy. Also my xorg.conf file has no settings at all [07:00] Can anyone tell me if its possible to make a hard disk with 2 partitions, one with ntfs another with unix fs [07:00] relisys: no settings? [07:00] Asunda: yes [07:00] prakash: google Voip clinet comparison [07:00] !ldap [07:00] LDAP is the Lightweight Directory Access Protocol. For more information and installation instructions, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/OpenLDAPServer [07:00] endoubt: no no settings i am in that file now.. [07:00] mesh1, Thanks wicd is amazing! It's working now. :) [07:00] clarkn0va, are you sure your raid is healthy? [07:00] thanks Ninja :) [07:00] relisys: empty file? [07:00] no no not empty [07:00] just no settings === Cueball_ is now known as Cueball [07:01] It was working fine until I upgraded to 8.10, then when I rebooted it failed as described. [07:01] endoubt: for example [07:01] omar_, mesh1: Huzzah, another convert to wicdom ^_^ [07:01] I've reboot a few times with the same result. [07:01] Is there a Ubuntu nVidia driver I need to make this restricted driver thing shut up? [07:01] Section "Monitor" [07:01] Identifier "Configured Monitor" [07:01] EndSection [07:01] like that [07:01] relisys: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [07:01] relisys: one person suggested booting into a livecd, then emailing the working xorg.conf to yourself [07:01] rww, well, why not?? It works after all, lol! :) [07:02] In several attempts I got xfs_repair to run, then I rebooted and was back to the same jazz. [07:02] hey guy sjust wondering why Synpatics only shows older finds for programs i want to install, like Beagle it shows version 0.3.3.2 but the latest is 0.3.8 [07:02] endoubt: well iam in normal boot right now. and its not like its broken [07:02] 0.3.3* [07:02] Prakash: some comparisons will tell you which voip service provide free service to which countries for free. also google top ten voip serveces or servers [07:02] relisys: what kind of monitor do you have? [07:02] oh i found it finally! its under Wobbly Windows/Snap windows --disable [07:02] Any help with a restricted driver available?? [07:02] akorpija: Hit the reload button at the top of the page. if that doesn't work, open the file /etc/apt/sources.list and post its contents to paste.ubuntu.com, then put the link here [07:03] rww, does it have a tray icon applet? [07:03] rww: there arn't any instructions like you said... [07:03] endoubt: LG model l194wt flat screen [07:03] HRshovinstuff, ahh, cool :) [07:03] rww will do i've definitely tried reload so i'll post [07:03] vbman11: oh, damn, I was thinking of something else. I'll tell you instead, then. [07:03] endoubt: but still if the file is with out settings then where does it get the feed to control the card? [07:03] rww:thanks [07:03] hi all.. can anybody please tell me how i can stop the titlebar of a window from disappearing [07:04] i tried adding Option ARGBVisuals to the config file [07:04] rww here's the link: http://paste.ubuntu.com/78224/ [07:04] vbman11: first off, make sure you're editing the file as root (so sudo nano /etc/hosts, or gksudo gedit /etc/hosts). Next, make a new line. Put the IP address you want to redirect to at the start of the line, then hit tab and put the domain name you want to redirect [07:04] relisys: check out this thread and copy his info from the monitor section, he has the same monitor http://ge.ubuntuforums.com/showthread.php?p=5632559 [07:05] rww: oh ok, I just had the two switched, Thanks! [07:05] relisys: I've run into that problem with Sabayon linux (xorg having nothing to do with anything) but not with ubuntu [07:06] anyone know where i could find a guide to automount some ntfs partitions? [07:06] with fstab or whatever [07:06] i will try that... though i just tried enableling nvidia restricted driver but that still hurts my eyes [07:06] heh [07:06] rww: is it not true that lilo can recognize a usb drive on a computer where the cmosh (don't remember the name of the flash equivalent to cmosh) doesn't boot to usb? [07:06] err... anyone know [07:07] akorpija: the latest version of beagle for hardy (which is what you appear to be using) is 0.3.3-2ubuntu1. Intrepid is the one with 0.3.8-1ubuntu2. You can check which version of Ubuntu you have with lsb_release -a (if that command doesn't say hardy, let me know). If you want to upgrade to intrepid, follow the instructions I'm about to have ubottu send you. [07:07] !upgrade | akorpija [07:07] akorpija: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes [07:07] bdelin88: here's what mine looks like in /etc/fstab /dev/sda1 /media/disk ntfs-3g defaults,force 0 0 [07:07] sam_: I have no idea. Ask the channel. [07:07] endoubt: do you know of a a way i can stop my FXce from reloading all my opened windows in prior session? [07:07] thanks! what is the command to determine what devs are mounted as what? [07:07] bdelin88, use df or mount [07:08] rww okay thanks, but i noticed it was the same for Pidgin, it didn't show me anything above 2.4.1 (i think that was it) so i had to go to their site and download 2.5.2? [07:08] k [07:08] akorpija: Again, the latest version of Pidgin available for hardy is 2.4.1. The latest version for Intrepid is 2.5.2 [07:08] Anybody tell me how to check a raid partition using a live cd? Or a link? [07:08] rww oh weird haha 2.5.2 is running flawlessly for me tho ;) [07:08] akorpija: Ubuntu releases don't receive major version upgrades after they're released. [07:09] akorpija: Not really surprising. It's less a matter of "this won't work" and more a matter of "we don't want to offer upgrades that might cause problems" [07:09] relisys: http://wiki.xfce.org/faq#session_manager [07:09] thanks [07:09] !backports | akorpija: If you want to get upgraded software, but don't want to upgrade from hardy, consider backports [07:09] akorpija: If you want to get upgraded software, but don't want to upgrade from hardy, consider backports: If new updated Ubuntu packages are built for an application, then they may go into Ubuntu Backports. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuBackports - See also !packaging [07:10] rww: oh yea i can see that...maybe i'll try installing that newer version of beagle for fun then haha [07:10] rww: okay thanks a lot bud u saved me some confusion there! [07:10] rww: do you mean this chanel, or is there a boot chanel ? sorry for the dumb queston [07:11] sam_: this channel. People tend to ignore questions prepended with someone's name =/ [07:11] akorpija: no problem. The Ubuntu repository system can be *really* confusing, but it's awesome once you get used to it. [07:12] how do i install open office 3.0 ? [07:12] what is the name of the flash chip that replaced cmos [07:12] rww yea i made the mistake of using windows after i got sort of used to ubuntu so im getting back in the groove (the amount of spyare you get in windows is ridiculous even if you're careful as hell) [07:13] leohartx: OpenOffice.org 3 isn't available for Intrepid yet. It'll be in !backports at some point. There's an unofficial PPA repository that had it, but that repo is down b/c of a bug in its packages right now (should be back up next week maybe). [07:13] leohartx, http://news.softpedia.com/news/How-To-Install-OpenOffice-org-3-0-in-Ubuntu-8-10-96449.shtml [07:13] leohartx: www.openoffice.org [07:13] bios....I remembered [07:14] clarkn0va: those instructions don't work right now [07:14] If the bios does not have a setting for usb bootup, can lilo boot to usb anyways? [07:14] clarkn0va: see my previous comment about the PPA repo. [07:14] I know that grub cannot [07:14] rww, too bad, I'm all about using the repos. === rustyrat is now known as endoubt [07:15] clarkn0va: the official answer for "How do I upgrade to OO.org3?" right now is "You don't." D: [07:15] rww i just installed OO 3 a few days ago but it wasn't an overly friendly install [07:15] Hey guys [07:16] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tvIn7yo2qio&feature=related [07:16] clarkn0va: 'cause all the non-repo, non-PPA ways of doing it will probably cause problems when mixed with the theoretical future backports package [07:16] Is there any way that I can Fix my hard drive in my laptop? [07:17] "How do I upgrade to OO.org3?" right now is "You don't..... HUH? [07:17] Because my Bios said that my hard drive needs to be replaced.

[07:18] I have to use my moms laptop/. [07:18] dual quad's :P [07:18] core 2 duo [07:18] safe-mode is also not working [07:18] dsmith_: break down "replace with 3" into steps that 1) allow updates through apt 2) are relatively user-friendly [07:18] anyone here installed pear packages? I am getting an error message I don't understand === Cueball is now known as Cueball_ [07:19] !offtopic | jcbchadwick43 [07:19] rww: hmph oh well i can always remove/reinstall [07:19] jcbchadwick43: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions.

[07:22] many linux users scoff at spinrite [07:22] And my Bios says that I need my Hard Drive Replaced. [07:22] jcbchadwick43: go buy a new hard drive then [07:22] NO!!!!!

[07:23] I have the recovery disks.

[07:24] jcbchadwick43: why do I get the feeling that those discs have Windows on them and you should be in ##windows right now? [07:24] arun_: what processor do you have. It depends.

[07:26] i know,is there a possibility of other way around [07:26] hello [07:26] arun_: I don't think so [07:26] !who | arun_ [07:26] arun_: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [07:27] what's the routine check of drives in boot? [07:27] arun_: the Athlon 64s are AMD64 arch, and therefore theoretically can run the 64-bit version of Ubuntu, I think [07:27] rww: yes [07:27] data card is an ericsson f3507g [07:27] arun_: and by "I think" i mean "I'm pretty sure but avoid AMD and therefore don't know" [07:28] lenovo thinkpad t500 [07:28] Hey akorpija, do you have an Ekiga account? [07:28] , but yeterday some1 in channnel told me that x64 software can be run on x86 version of ubuntu [07:28] rww: arun_: athlon 64s can run 64bit versoin of Ubuntu [07:28] arun_: I'm pretty sure it can't [07:28] rww: but I Think the original question was amd64 software on i386 system, answer to which is "no" [07:28] jcbchadwick43, no why? [07:28] what's the routine check of drives in boot? [07:28] then all x86 can be run on a x64 host by emulation??? [07:28] i am having to boot into vista to get online [07:29] arun: you have to install ubuntu x86_64 if you want to run 64-bit software [07:29] arun_: 32-bit OSes can run 32-bit software. 64-bit OSes can run 64-bit software. 64-bit Ubuntu has a compatibility layer that can run 32-bit software. [07:29] that's okay [07:29] arun_: theortically, yes. but why don't you just run x64 and run your 32bit software from there? [07:29] what's the routine check of drives in boot? [07:29] Hi, I can't serve webpages from my Ubuntu/Kubuntu box since I switched from dhcp to static IPs [07:29] !fsck | sken [07:29] sken: fsck is the FileSystem ChecKer, which runs automatically when you boot if you didn't shutdown cleanly. Type "man fsck" for information on running it manually. The command "sudo shutdown -F -r now" will force a reboot and a filesystem check; "sudo touch /fastboot" will skip a filesystem check at next reboot [07:30] I am unable to connect to a WEP encrypted wireless router with broadcom wireless adapter, sda 32 bit driver and firmware from fwcutter. But I am able to see the networks in range and can connect to the unencrypted networks. I'm out of ideas at this point. Anyone...? [07:30] what about repositories for software in x64(Are they present and can be updated or do we need 2 configure in S/W sources) [07:30] but anyway if you are now about the fact amd is the real advanced one tough, more than u know [07:30] hey arun_ [07:30] arun_: all software in Ubuntu's repositories is compiled for both 32bit and 64bit. apt-get picks the right one automagically. [07:30] arun_: the repositories work the same as the i386 ones [07:30] is there a terminal command I could type to update package manager list [07:30] r u a human or a bot [07:30] arun: you can't upgrade from one arch to another. [07:31] bbbthunda: i used fwcutter and had nothing but trouble. ndiswrapper works well for me. [07:31] you have to install amd64 fresh.\ [07:31] when you address someone, does it turn red, if you use their name in the beginning: name:, or do you have to use: name_: ? [07:31] mib_4ke790: sudo apt-get update [07:31] So why can't I serve pages? [07:31] sam_ just putting their name in should work [07:31] Is it possible to upgrade the existing x86 version to x64,(I have both installer CDs) [07:31] sam_: if their name is "name_" then you have to type "name_" [07:31] can someone help me? i need help real bad [07:31] arun: start fresh === wos1 is now known as andeer [07:31] arun_: yeah, you have to wipe the drive though, but you can keep the /home partitions [07:31] sam_ like how yours has the _ hahah [07:32] !ask | ja660k [07:32] ja660k: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [07:32] binMonkey: what do I need to do to use ndiswrapper? (I think I've tried this already but at this point I can't even remember) [07:32] arun_: upgrade? no. [07:32] would it at all be possible to shrink my windows partition and then move my ubuntu partition over to the left? [07:32] alex_21: did you check the apache config/ [07:32] Is there any way to backup the installed debian packages,etc [07:32] andeer: I believe it is [07:32] !gparted | andeer: Yes. Boot from an Ubuntu or gparted live CD and run gparted [07:33] andeer: Yes. Boot from an Ubuntu or gparted live CD and run gparted: gparted is a !GUI partitioning program.

[07:33] !cloning | arun_ [07:33] arun_: 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 !automate [07:33] arun: if you have never cleared the cache maybe backup /var/caches/apt [07:33] coolio [07:33] J172: he's switch archs, so it probably won't help [07:33] i'll try that now [07:33] binMonkey: do I need to remove any drivers or rollback other configurations to use it? [07:33] i am assuming I have to be booted into ubuntu and have a connection to accomplish this task ? [07:33] arun: can I create a copy of the same version of ubuntu that I am using write now by duplicating the version in just a few minutes? [07:34] ja660K: do you know what brand of wifi card it is? Is it in a laptop? what sort of laptop? [07:34] System Information for sserver1: CPU: GenuineIntel [07:34] arun_: might not work [07:34] suppose by mistake i have deleted the default panel in kde4...i want that back..how can i do that ? any help ? [07:34] arun_: read what adam7_ said [07:34] J172, arun_: J172's wrong. The packages in /var/caches/apt will be for the wrong arch. Use the ubottu factoid I sent you. [07:34] Yeah [07:35] jcbchadwick43_: the fastest way would be with dd probably [07:35] rww: just said that :P arun, I didn't see you said that, sorry. [07:35] rww, J172, arun_ : there might be a few that have the all arch, but it's probably not worth your time [07:35] its a compaq; and uhh its like atheros or something, i used ndiswrapepr to install the driver [07:35] sam22: the fastest wy would be with PartImage, I can clone this machine to another in under 15 minutes [07:35] so is mine. [07:35] adam7_: he has the CDs for each anyway, which have the packages, so it's even more of a waste of time [07:35] bbbthunda: hold on. i'm trying to find the thread that helped me. [07:35] adam7_,arun_,: just jot down the packages you have installed [07:36] adam7_,arun_,: reinstall once you're on the new platform [07:36] ok thanks [07:36] rww: this is true [07:36] thanks ardchoille [07:36] Ok,I'm gearing up for updating my architecture,i'll be back from x64 [07:36] !cloning | arun_, J172 [07:36] arun_, J172: 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 !automate [07:36] !sysresccd [07:36] SystemRescueCd is a Linux system on a bootable CD-ROM.

My network is now not letting me do much more than ping these interfaces. I just made them static and brought them into one lan. What can I do? [08:09] Drizzt321, I had some trouble with xmms and audio: i had to make sure that thje app (xmms), the system, and volume control in the gmone panel all used the same thing [08:09] NewFAQs, im so good that if I was better I would burst [08:09] I was just wondering if someone could please remind me how to change screensaver on Ubuntu 8.10 [08:09] trancefat: Hi dear. flex builder is a good choise for developing and creating RIA (Rich Internet Application) === prakash_ is now known as prakash_629 [08:09] Thats Good :) [08:09] NewFAQs: this is a support channel; please take chat to #ubuntu-offtopic [08:09] NewFAQs, thanks :) [08:09] Drizzt321, so you may want to tweek with that [08:09] adam7: What were you trying to tell me about UUIDs? [08:09] nephlim: hm...I'll check that out. Although this is audacious, not xmms, but yea, I'll check the gnome panel [08:09] Drizzt321, and under System-->Prefs-->sound [08:09] barnebie: well, I was going to suggest you try them to see if it would help Ubuntu figure out where to boot from [08:09] trancefat: but in flex, you don't have design environment like flash [08:10] I need help with changing the screen saver I FORGOT where it is *laughs [08:10] Drizzt321, make sure everything is the same, all alsa/oss/whatever [08:10] j2flex: yes i m aware of the ria part... i just want to know if i can create a site that has library items with animations in it and write my classes and export a swf that would look like it was made from the flash ide [08:10] hi [08:10] NewFAQs: System > Preferences > Screensaver [08:10] NewFAQs, LOL System/Pref [08:10] !ask | rww [08:10] rww: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [08:10] And also I am wondering if there is a DOCK Like system for UBuntu as is on Mac? [08:10] Thanks [08:10] !botabuse | eternaljoy [08:10] eternaljoy: Please investigate with me only with "/msg ubottu Bot" or in #ubuntu-bots. Search for factoids with "/msg ubottu !search factoid". [08:10] j2flex: basically i want to create flash sites using ubuntu [08:10] how do i select a different repo mirror from terminal? [08:10] all of them except for 'default mixer tracks' is pulse audio, and that one is currently set to alsa mixer [08:11] adam7: Okay, how can a figure out the proper UUID to use? [08:11] is there a forum for samba? [08:11] Please don't design a site with flash, without knowing the risks [08:11] alienseer23-eee: edit your sources.list file: sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list and change the server names in it [08:11] Ok Thanks I like the "floating feet" screen saver. [08:11] !uuid | barnebie [08:11] barnebie: To see a list of your devices/partitions and their corresponding UUID's, run this command in a !shell: « sudo blkid » (see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LibAtaForAtaDisks for the rationale behind the transition to UUID) [08:11] Does anyone know where I can please get a DOCK like bar for the desktop? [08:12] trancefat: you can use Tween class to animate display objects [08:12] Drizzt321, try setting them all to pulse [08:12] !awn | NewFAQs, try AWN [08:12] i have an eeepc with an sd-card for my files, programs and so on, but i have no permissions to write something on the card. i have formated it with the partion editor. changing rights by chmod doesnt help [08:12] NewFAQs, try AWN: Avant Window Navigator is a dock-like navigation bar for the Linux desktop that positions itself at the bottom of the screen. Homepage http://wiki.awn-project.org/ Awn-Manager can be found the Gutsy !backports repository and in Universe in Hardy [08:12] rww: what are the defaults? [08:12] <_axelay_> or simdock [08:12] nephlim: I don't see a pulse on the 'default mixer tracks' device, and I have all the rest set to pulse [08:12] !uuid [08:12] To see a list of your devices/partitions and their corresponding UUID's, run this command in a !shell: « sudo blkid » (see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LibAtaForAtaDisks for the rationale behind the transition to UUID) [08:12] Thanks RWW [08:13] alienseer23-eee: which version of Ubuntu are you using? [08:13] 8.1 [08:13] nephlim: in audacious, the pulseaudio output plugin doesn't has a greyed out preferences button. could it not be loading the plugin correctly? or have it missing? [08:13] Did you understand what I meant about risks [08:13] ? [08:14] Drizzt321, just wondering, what's the reason fpr pulse over alsa? [08:14] little more info please newfaq [08:14] nephlim: thats what I ubuntu is setup to use, right? [08:14] rww: intrepid [08:14] adam7: because Ubuntu does not find a root fs, it drops into a built-in-shell (ash). I am unable to run the proper command to get the UUID [08:14] alex_21 life is full of risks [08:15] Drizzt321, i use alsa and it works just fine. are you getting any sound output at all with pulse now? [08:15] alienseer23-eee: one second please [08:15] trancefat:http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/flex/flexbuilder_linux/ [08:15] :D [08:15] k [08:15] k [08:15] hello, i am having networking problems with my ubuntu. it seems that i can't browse any websites. if i go into my network connections it says ifupdown (eth0) ? [08:15] Anybody here good with ubuntu/windows networking? [08:15] nephlim: I get sound fine through pulse from other apps, or from the sound applet, but not from audacious [08:15] Does anyone knows how to can fix this problem it will help me out lots ! [08:16] alienseer23-eee: wait, you want the default mirror, or the default entire sources.list? [08:16] Drizzt321, one sec. i'm going to install audacious to take a peek at it [08:16] The reason you must never, ever, ever use flash, is that you need to have a text only version of your site easily at hand if you insist on using flash in order to make your site available to everyone on Linux/Mac using a screen reader [08:16] nephlim: cool, thanks. I installed all of the plugin packages [08:16] mirror [08:16] how can i ssh and sftp on my network...? what app do i need..? [08:16] I'm so lost right now :( [08:16] Does anyone know how i can troubleshoot the networking problem. [08:17] alex_21: oh, that's easy. http://us.archive.ubuntu.com [08:17] alex_21: sorry, wrong person [08:17] alienseer23-eee: http://us.archive.ubuntu.com [08:17] thanks [08:17] Hey, I too have a similar networking issue [08:18] ja660k, you should be able to do it with a terminal [08:18] <> [08:18] TecR0c_ did you click on the network icon in your gnome panel? [08:18] alex_21: that should be "everyone on Linux/Mac using a screen reader, or too principled to use non-free stuff and too frustrated to use gnash" :D [08:18] tecr0c have you tried google === eric is now known as Guest61064 [08:18] Ok I downloaded the AWN WIndow Dock manager and installed it using terminal, but I can't see it in the menu bar? [08:19] Is there soemthing I am doing wrong? [08:19] mib_4ke790 i was going to try that on my linux box but i didn't have a connection. [08:19] but no i havn't tried googling it on this machine. [08:19] how can i mount a sdcard? he says: you have to be a superuser to use mount [08:19] Phil_Morteja: what command are you executing? [08:19] Anyone here suggest a tutorial for setting up a network between XP/Vista and Ubuntu? I've been trying for 6 months to network my machines and noone seems to know how.. and all the examples i've found don't work [08:19] adam7: Did you see my last response? [08:19] Phil_Morteja: put sudo before the command, or see !fstab [08:19] !fstab | ubottu [08:20] ubottu: The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab and http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions [08:20] what would i use to easy nake gui frontends for gnome desktop? [08:20] !fstab | Phil_Morteja, oops: [08:20] Phil_Morteja, oops:: The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system.

[08:20] what would i use to easy make gui frontends for gnome desktop? [08:20] ziroday, only put the sd card in the eeepc, ne command [08:20] i don't really know what i would type to find a solution [08:20] tazbobu what kind of network? [08:20] hi all!!! can u help me? i try to install Ubuntu on my pc with Raid0 controller Nvidia. I used dmraid on decktop.amd64 version but it not work. plase help me [08:20] krupa^: [ -x /path/to/file ] || echo "bla" [08:21] barnebie: can you see the disk at all from the ash shell? [08:21] krupa^: that's what it is for file existence, anyway. Probably the same for directories. [08:21] mib: samba between ubuntu & one XP & one vista... the xp & vista machines see each other fine.. they also see ubuntu machine but can't access it.. ubuntu can't see anyone [08:21] unamatrix9_ just do an ls with the path\ [08:21] i dont have the network manager icon in my panel anymore. and when i try to set the connection back to DHCP i get a updating connection failed error [08:21] what is -x do? i shouldnt do ls and then? [08:21] wireless? [08:21] mib: ubuntu machine also can't access other machines by IP [08:22] krupa^_ just do an ls with the path [08:22] i downloaded and burned the ISO of ubuntu server edition and when i restarted my computer and hit "install ubuntu" it starting saying things which are wrong with my computer, such as my usb and IO drivers, or something along the lines of that. How do i fix this? [08:22] quick question, how do i type "|" in the terminal, usually seen between two commands on one line [08:22] ? [08:23] muzzy correct any problems you have in windows device manager and try again [08:23] xscottx3: that's usually the shift key + the \ key [08:23] <_axelay_> shift+backslash [08:23] You need to install Somba to share between Windows and Ubuntu [08:23] ryushe: thank you for the hepl [08:23] You need to install Somba to share between Windows and Ubuntu [08:24] Not somba, Samba [08:24] mib, i recently reinstalled XP and i don't have my soudn drivers installed, is that the problem? [08:24] krupa^: [ -x /path/to/file ] checks whether /path/to/file is a file that can be executed by the current user. Now that I think of it, consider replacing -x with -d ("File is a directory") [08:24] krupa^: ls isn't The Bash Way of doing that [08:24] adam7:I believe I am given some sort of makeshift fs that is not the root fs, and I do not think I can access my disk at all--how can I be sure of this [08:24] xscottx3: shift+\ on a US keyboard [08:24] barnebie: try ls /dev/{s,h}d* [08:24] hi guys. I'm having trouble connecting to a linux share from windows. I've freshl installed ubuntu 8.10, and I'm trying to connect to a folder. I get the user/pass box appear, but it keeps telling me that the auth was invalid [08:25] Is Samba installed? [08:25] ok i got the AWN bar can someone help me please it only stays on the desktop if the terminal stays open [08:25] if i shut the terminal the AWV dock bar closes also :( [08:25] So, any ideas with my networking problem? [08:26] Drizzt321, still with me? [08:26] nephlim: yea [08:26] NewFAQs: there isn't an icon in the Accessories folder? [08:26] NewFAQs: how you start awn [08:26] Drizzt321, i used the alsa plugin under audacious and got sound [08:26] i type a command, in terminal [08:26] Drizzt321, try that [08:26] I have [08:26] adam7: This is what I got back: "ls: /dev/{s,h}d*: No such file or directory" [08:27] no dice, eh? [08:27] TecR0c_: right click on gnome panel select 'Add to PANEL' Then select notification area and search for network icon [08:27] nephlim: let me pastebin you some output [08:27] adam7_, barnebie: You're using a basic console. It doesn't have all the features of bash. [08:27] oh yes there is a thing in accesories lol [08:27] :( [08:27] adam7_, barnebie: including the {} and * ones [08:27] Sorry [08:27] NewFAQs: you should start like thiw : awant-xxxx & [08:28] Any Idea why I can't connect [08:28] NewFAQs: no problem, "Accessories" is way too broad a term... I forget to check there too. [08:28] ? [08:28] yeah its ok thanks i found a icon in accesories [08:28] lol [08:28] im trying to make it look like mac +o( [08:28] nephlim: http://pastebin.com/d5f02840e [08:28] i know it sounds noobish [08:29] rww: Ah, okay. [08:29] Oh Also how do I INSTALL Opera? [08:29] how do i quickly find the local ip of my machine [08:29] I try to sudo apt-get install opera and it wont work [08:29] !opera [08:29] opera is an advanced and free (only as in price) web browser. Install it via Applications->Add/Remove..., making sure that "Show commercial applications" (dapper only) is checked. For more info on opera please see: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/OperaBrowser [08:30] you can download a .deb from opera website [08:30] Hey guys, my sound doesn't work. Any ideas? when I use Pidgin Internet Messenger, i can hear the sound though. [08:30] Hey, you are trying too hard. Don't use AWN, there is something better than that, just don't remember what? [08:30] Drizzt321, hmm, not really sure. you could try the ubuntu forums. but, tell me this: does xmms work with the same file and output settings? [08:30] Oh Ok thanks so much guys I am only 18 and a noob [08:30] adam7: Suppose I try to start over. I have no optical drive, no network connection, and a floppy that can be booted into but not read by linux(becuse of hardware difficulties). What is my best option for getting linux on this baby? [08:30] nephlim: I don't have xmms or xmms2 installed [08:30] hi .. i have a strange problem ... if im watching something on youtube thru my browser my sound from totem doesnt work [08:30] nephlim: not that I am aware of, I checked to make sure [08:31] There was a Youtube video on this. Lol, even blind people use Youtube, though I personally don't very much [08:31] bazhang: do you have the ability to edit ubottu factoids? if so... the opera one mentions dapper :S [08:31] !eol [08:31] End-Of-Life is the time when security updates for an Ubuntu release stop. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases [08:31] Drizzt321, try installing them and running the file, just to see [08:31] anyone know how to scrable from hulu? i.e. tools like clive / youtube-dl, but for hulu.com [08:31] nephlim: I'll give that a shot maybe. I need to get some sleep tho, night === Cueball is now known as Cueball_ [08:32] NewFAQs_; do you know if opera is in the ubuntu official supported repositories? [08:32] rww, its supported for a while yet still [08:32] bazhang: yeah, but most people reading that factoid won't be using it :P [08:32] how do i get apache2 to make my webserver do http://myserver.com/~username/ which on the local hdd leads to /home/username/public_html/ [08:32] bazhang: would you know the reason why the sound in totem wont work if firefox is open with youtube videos ? [08:33] vegombrei, totem as a music player? [08:33] Decepticon_: You need to enable the userdir module (it may already be enabled) (sudo a2enmod userdir) [08:33] veombrei_ config file [08:33] Decepticon_: set "UserDir public_html" in your apache config [08:33] No, I don't. I can't even get Flash in Firefox. Well, flash doesn't help me anyway, but it is nice for sighted friends that use my Laptop [08:34] cool lemme try that [08:34] Decepticon_: wait nvm Flannel's right [08:34] bazhang: i was wating a tv show and someone sent me a link to youtube .. if i open anything that requires sound in firefox its like either or .. i have to shut the other .. but i cant pause one and listen to the other i must shut my browser window [08:35] OK so does anyone know where you can get cool themes from for ubuntu 8.10 [08:35] !theme [08:35] Find your themes at: http://www.gnome-look.org - http://art.gnome.org - http://www.kde-look.org - http://kubuntu-art.org - http://themes.freshmeat.net/browse/58/ - http://www.guistyles.com - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Artwork/ - Also see !changethemes and https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuEyeCandy [08:35] vegombrei, which version of ubuntu and how did you install flash (which version) [08:35] adam7:Any ideas? [08:36] vegombrei_ default is /var/apache2/web you have to change it to/or add /home/username/public_html/ [08:36] sam_: That's entirely wrong. [08:36] On live CD, any idea what is root password??? [08:36] * rww thinks we need #ubuntu-omgflashsux for support of non-free Ubuntu stuff... [08:36] the pathname is wrong. I don't remember [08:36] sam_: please don't "help" people by giving them inaccurate information or telling them to google stuff [08:36] sam_: and no, it's entirely wrong [08:36] rmdir: failed to remove `/media/disk-1Docs': Directory not empty , what it means, why cant i delete it, the directory is actuallu empty [08:36] !root | hareldvd [08:36] hareldvd: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [08:37] rmdir: failed to remove `/media/disk-1/Docs': Directory not empty , what it means, why cant i delete it, the directory is actuallu empty [08:37] I did it with my comuter [08:37] !worksforme | sam_ [08:37] sam_: Common Sense: Just because you can, does not mean you should (and especially recommend to others). Think before you do. "Works for me" does not mean it is ok. The latest version of everything is not always useful if you aim for stability. Please see http://geekosophical.net/random/worksforme/ [08:37] bazhang: 8.04 hardy and i think firefox installed flash during an update [08:37] sam_: i didnt understand could you explain what that was ? [08:38] vegombrei: he send his wrongness to the wrong person. Ignore it. [08:38] So can anyone help with my networking problem [08:38] hi [08:38] barnebie: apart from doing what you did, not really, sorry :( [08:38] I already posted about three times here and ahve no respones [08:38] rww: well is there someone who can send me awesomeness ?? [08:38] alex_21:whant is your problem [08:39] Responses [08:39] vegombrei: I wish I could, but I don't use flash :( [08:39] I've 7.10 and downloaded 8.04 and 8.10 livecd. can I upgrade from 7.10 to 8.04 then 8.04 to 8.10 without burining the images to cd (i.e. mounting them only)? [08:39] vegombrei, apparently installing libflashsupport helps out in some cases, the problem is no longer there in intrepid though (8.10) [08:39] alex_21: it's jsually better to just ask the question [08:39] vegombrei_: you have to change the apache config file. I will need to do a little googling to refresh my memory, and I'll get back in a moment. [08:40] whenever i open a new application, they always 'pop under'. how do i make them 'pop up' instead? [08:40] sam_: how about you figure out that vegombrei_ wasn't the one who asked for apache2 help, then figure out what the "userdir module" is, then figure out how to prepend your messages with peoples nicknames properly, then come back in a moment? [08:40] bazhang: my ubuntu updates all the time .. shouldnt it update to intrepid ? [08:40] and how about I crawl back into my cave and explode with nerdrage [08:40] vegombrei, not unless you specifically direct it to do so, no. [08:40] * rww disappears [08:40] Hello anyone reccomend a good site or command line to getting a new theme/look please? [08:40] how can i make the vnc server use pam? [08:41] i tried !theme and the links :S [08:41] oh, sorry.... thanks [08:41] hi all... this may not be the right place to ask this but i really want to zero in on a set of core technologies in order to better myself.. i m a AS 3 and PHP developer and was wondering what shud i leran... air, flex, python, haxe etc... please guide [08:41] bazhang: oh i didnt know that ... how do i set my system to update to the latest of everything ? [08:41] adam7: If I boot without a "root=" argument, the kernel panics, and says: "Please append a correct "root=" boot option; here are the available partitions:" It does not list any partitions. I understand if you don't have a suggestion to offer. The libretto is an archaic piece of hardware. [08:41] NewFAQs: the links in !themes are very good places to start [08:41] trancefat: #ubuntu-offtopic would be the correct place to ask that, not here, thanks. [08:41] I have two network interfaces on a machine. Now everything was working good with one interface using dhcp outside the LAN connecting to the internet directly, and the other inside the LAN, like a good puppy, and both played nicely. Now I moed them both into the LAN, and they are not working like a lazy guide dog pair, and I can't ssh to anything now that both have static IPs [08:41] vegombrei, /msg ubottu upgrade for the link/instructions [08:41] yes but i try to install and it says not a valid package [08:42] I found shiki themes nvm [08:42] Flannel: thanks... n sorry [08:42] vegombrei: software sources, updates, release upgrade - normal releases [08:42] barnebie: do you know if it uses a IDE HDD? [08:43] hey, anyone know of any howtos that talk about converting an existing ubuntu install to nvidia softraid, or software raid? [08:44] guys need help, this is the output when i tried to remove a file , rmdir: failed to remove `/media/disk-1/Docs': Directory not empty , what it means, why cant i delete it, the directory is actuallu empty [08:44] Acedip: rm -r /media/disk-1/Docs [08:45] Acedip: odds are it's not actually empty and has hidden files on it. Use ls -a to see them or ctrl-h in file manager [08:45] rww: sorry not a file, but a directory [08:45] Acedip: if you do rm -rf directory.name [08:45] how come when i restart it does not save my dual monitor configuration. [08:45] Acedip: rm -r will remove directories [08:45] it just converts back to one. [08:45] fruitmuffins I need such a tutorial but from a normal Ubuntu install with ext3, to lvm [08:45] Acedip: it will delete the directory and all the files in it [08:45] Acedip: explanation: rm (ReMove) -r (Recursive (deletes directories)) [08:45] good evening fellas [08:46] So any answer to my networking question? [08:46] i go to into the Nviaia x server settings [08:46] and i go to setup my seperate x screen but both monitors. [08:46] Alex_21: what was your question i just joined [08:47] then i go click save but it says unable to create new x config backup file /etc/x11/xorg.conf.backup [08:47] alex_21: generally, repeating the description of your problem is more likely to get results than repeating an appeal for help. [08:47] and then i restart and nothin happens ? =/ [08:47] Can someone do me the favour of Copy/Pasting my question back in here [08:47] ? [08:47] TecR0c: run Nvidia-Xserver with SUDO command [08:47] adam7:It is a 20gb ATA [08:47] ? [08:47] alex_21 said: I have two network interfaces on a machine. Now everything was working good with one interface using dhcp outside the LAN connecting to the internet directly, and the other inside the LAN, like a good puppy, and both played nicely. Now I moed them both into the LAN, and they are not working like a lazy guide dog pair, and I can't ssh to anything now that both have static IPs [08:47] barnebie: make sure that hte ATA drive is compiled in the initrd image [08:48] rww: rm -r directory said, can not remove : input/output error [08:48] Alex_21: why do you want both cards inside your LAN? [08:48] Thanks rww [08:48] is there a way to 'dual boot' gnome and kde? [08:49] aeosynth: install whichever out of ubuntu-desktop or kubuntu-desktop you don't already have. To switch between them, use the relevant option in your login manager (Actions menu in GDM, I forget what the KDM one is) [08:49] Acedip: that's not good [08:49] Acedip: cd into the directory you're trying to delete and do ls -a. Anything in there? [08:49] I threw them both into the Lan because I need to firewall them off. Behind the router, 192.168.0.102, or eth1, is my mail/web server and 192.168.0.1, or eth0, is my dhcp server for my LAN [08:49] adam7: So would it be a good idea to put the drive in an enviroment where it is the lone storage device and repeat the installation? [08:50] barnebie: probably a good idea [08:50] Alex_21: try configureing your Eth1 for Localhost considering it is the same system [08:50] rww: even ls -a, showed so many things but said ls:can not access ,input/output error, infront of every file [08:50] How? [08:51] rww: Okay then I am going to try that. [08:51] barnebie: you could try that [08:51] loopback 127.0.0.1 [08:51] Instead of what? [08:51] Acedip: is it your Ubuntu partition, or an external drive or something? [08:51] or use 1 network card for both [08:51] adam7: Hopefully the next I am back here it will be to thank you for helping me to resurrect my libretto. Thanks! [08:52] rww: external [08:52] TecR0c: did you get your Nvidia configured correctly? [08:52] barnebie: good luck :) [08:52] Dave, I'm sory. How do I set that up [08:52] <[c0re]> how do i use Hotmail with evolution mail??? [08:52] bazhang: upgrading [08:52] I thought you had to pay to use pop3/imap from Hotmail [08:53] bazhang: thanks bro [08:53] alex_21: cant really explain that, been along time since i made a DHCP server, why dont you just use static addresses for all your computers, then you dont need a DHCP [08:53] vegombrei, you're welcome [08:53] could I remove evolution immediately after installing ubuntu without breaking other things? [08:53] Acedip: issue "sudo fsck -C /media/disk-1/" (i think that was the mountpoint, right?) [08:53] Because DHCP is for my Linux Thin Clients [08:53] rww: yes it is.. [08:53] Acedip: I/O errors are usually a symbol of something needed fixing. fsck is FileSystem ChecKer. [08:54] gparted won't let me shrink my ntfs windows partition, i have the ntfs add-on installed, what do i do? === Bitfish is now known as bitFish [08:54] anyone use SLI with 8.04? [08:54] Grrrrrrrrrrrrrr, I'm not sure what to do [08:54] sudo nvidia-xconfig --sli=Auto, is my understanding, but how would i disable it, if not working correctly [08:55] aeosynth: elaborate on "won't let me". Any error messages? [08:55] Alex_21: why dont you go back to the way it was when it was working and start there [08:55] It seems like everywhere I look is errors, erros, and more errors. I bet there is more errors than a guide dog has hairs [08:55] alex_21: u like dogs eh? lol [08:55] !hotmail | [c0re] [08:55] [c0re]: If you need to use an MSN Hotmail account, consider packages such as "hotway" and "hostsmtp", which are gateways respectively to the !POP and !SMTP protocols (also supporting Lycos and Spray) [08:55] rww: [08:55] [sudo] password for ani: [08:55] fsck 1.41.3 (12-Oct-2008) [08:55] e2fsck 1.41.3 (12-Oct-2008) [08:55] fsck.ext2: Is a directory while trying to open /media/disk-1/ [08:55] Acedip: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.

[08:56] alex_21, why are you using two different interfaces on a single machine for the same network? [08:57] Because they werent two on one netwwork before [08:57] One used to be outside the network [08:57] aeosynth: try resizing it a little less (so it's a little larger). That might help [08:57] Acedip: can you pastebin the error instead, please? [08:57] !pastebin | Acedip [08:57] Acedip: pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic) [08:57] Dave, Yes, I like dogs. Also, if I go back to the way things were, I would have to hard rewire everything [08:58] alex_21, use only one, will make it easier [08:58] I've done that, resizing only a gig at a time, it still tells me it's too large [08:58] rww: http://pastebin.com/m4ff5c661 [08:58] It is a lot of work, so I'll leabe that for the last resort [08:58] aeosynth: try defragging your Windows partition [08:58] in tutorials i see people resizing 50 gigs with no problem [08:58] i can try that. anything else i should try?

Issue mount to find out which /dev/ file the drive's on, then unmount the drive and issue the fsck command again with the /dev/file instead of the /media/ one [08:59] alex, both are static ip´s?

[09:07] Acedip: the fsck line might take a while [09:08] Kinobe: i use the dirver compat-wireless, it is ok [09:08] Ummm sudo apt-get remove firefox didnt work, [09:08] hi, i'm experiencing (lack of) sound issues here (again); anyone help?? [09:08] It is still on the bar & in internet and works :( [09:08] wartalker: okay. I'm new to Ubuntu 8.10.... what's the "default" wifi scanner that's built in? as in, the application that scans for available hot spots, etc. [09:09] rww: but dont i have to mount it first to do the fsck [09:09] NewFAQs: sudo apt-get remove firefox firefox-3.0 firefox-3.0-branding firefox-3.0-gnome-support firefox-gnome-support ubufox [09:09] How do you get Emerald Theme Manager to be your default window decorater?

[09:09] LOl my wifi doesnt even work i gave up on it, even though my wifi card atheros is supported it doesnt find the hotspot [09:09] rww: simply disconnect it and reconnect back ?? [09:10] Acedip: no, it doesn't need to be mounted to fsck [09:10] okk [09:10] Kinobe:sudo iwlist wlan0(interface) scanning [09:11] wartalker: okay let me try that [09:11] I had Zimbra, Apache, LTSP, DHCPD, and that is about it [09:11] I had Zimbra, Apache, LTSP, DHCPD, and that is about it [09:12] rww: it said this "fsck: fsck.ntfs: not found" "fsck: Error 2 while executing fsck.ntfs for /dev/sdb5" [09:13] Is there any programs for ubuntu, which will allow you to watch live TV streaming from the internet, for free? [09:13] rww: or rather take a look here http://pastebin.com/m1aa7bf92 [09:13] i'm getting 'Problem with Audio Playback' when attempting Skype [09:13] hi, i'm experiencing (lack of) sound issues here (again); anyone help?? [09:13] how can i make the vnc server use pam? [09:14] kieko: I've got that too. Just go to the skype settings, click sound devices and try them alll out with the test call, one of them normally works [09:14] kieko: But "Default device" didn't work for me either [09:15] Acedip: oh, it's NTFS? meh. give me a minute. [09:15] leonbrussels, that is a solution that worked last time... 'hdmi' was the working solution infact; but this time its is not working nor the others ??? :/ [09:15] when i install windows xp on one disk and then ubuntu on another is there any overwrite taking place after installing ubuntu? [09:16] thats my current dualboot setup [09:16] rww: ya i had did that with gparted, wanted it to work on friend's winodws machine [09:16] huy [09:16] i have trouble with squidguard [09:16] kieko: Did you try the "pulse" device? Maybe that works? Can you get audio input in other applications? [09:17] leonbrussels, oh, yea, sound works everywhere else... I'd rather not switch to pulseaudio; that was a source of problems in the past; I have everything to Alsa [09:17] BoltClock: As far as I know ubuntu doesn't touch your XP installation [09:17] Acedip: do you happen to have a Windows machine nearby? If so, you could plug it in and scandisk it [09:18] rww: no i dont have [09:18] Acedip: if not, I'll go figure out where the heck the ntfs people are hiding their filesystem checked, but Windows would probably be easier [09:18] Acedip: k [09:18] wardriver: looking good, thanks for that. Is there a GUI version for Gnome? [09:18] kieko: Sorry, no idea then :( [09:18] leonbrussels: im planning to split my windows disk and dump vista in a new partition, completely away from my ubuntu disk. will grub still be affected? [09:18] leonbrussels, nvm :( [09:19] leonbrussels, in Skype options i did set to pulse to try and at last i got the incoming voice on 'test call' but didn't record my voice... Really annoying that skype is so flakey for me on ubuntu [09:20] Acedip: okay. *sigh* issue sudo apt-get install ntfsprogs, then do sudo ntfsfix /dev/sdb5 [09:20] BoltClock: Yeah. vista will overwrite your grub with its own bootloader. What you want to do is reinstall GRUB after installing Vista [09:21] rww: okk..doing that [09:21] leonbrussels: reinstall grub over my windows disk MBR? [09:21] Acedip: sorry this is so convoluted. NTFS support in Ubuntu is problematic sometimes =( [09:21] So what about my network [09:21] ? [09:21] thats what i read [09:21] rww: is it easy on some other distros ?? [09:22] Acedip: not really, no [09:22] I am panicking here [09:22] :) [09:22] Acedip: Linux in generally has only had good ntfs support for a few years now [09:22] Acedip: before that, you couldn't even write to it [09:23] Help, Help, Help! [09:23] rww: woof [09:23] what's wrong with your network alex? [09:23] BoltClock: Oh sorry, I didn't read correctly, you have got two physically seperated disks. In that case I think your Vista install will leave the ubuntu disk untouched. [09:24] I need help please [09:24] BoltClock: But you will still have to reconfigure GRUB to boot Vista [09:24] leonbrussels: by editing menu.lst? [09:24] yep [09:24] i should still be able to boot xp from grub just fine right? [09:24] boltclock you will actually have to fix grub [09:24] alex_21, is the static ip set correctly on the lan connect card? [09:24] rww: sigh..it said proceeded successfully..now [09:25] Read this: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-24113.html [09:25] my update manager and add/remove manager are not working [09:25] Acedip: the check didn't show any errors? [09:25] rww: noo [09:25] yes they are [09:26] napster use your console and type "sudo updatemanager" [09:26] thefawk: fix? [09:26] and let us know what error does it display [09:26] BoltClock: Make sure you install Vista on a partition after the XP partition. XP's bootloader loads its files based on partition number, so if it used to be on partition one and suddenly it is on partition 2 becuase you installed vista on partition 1 you will also have to fix up the XP bootloader [09:26] Hello everybody [09:27] sloopy The two cards are on the network, and I think they are. I get a "No ... something, ... process" error when using /etc/init.d/networking restart. I have replaced the name with something because I can't read it [09:27] i have a problem after installing ubuntu [09:27] can someone help? [09:27] Acedip: meh. Okay. remount it (unplug it and plug it back in I guess?) and try doing the deletion again [09:27] danny the great u read the online help etc [09:27] !ask | Danny-The-Great [09:27] Danny-The-Great: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [09:27] aha [09:27] ok [09:27] alex_21, get the output from a network restart in a pastebin [09:28] how can i make the vnc server use pam? [09:28] I can't even get the output for myself, let alone for the pastebin [09:29] BoltClock: I'm off now but I think you should be good to go with installing vista on your XP disk partition 2 and reconfiguring GRUB to boot the vista partition (should be the same as the XP entry, except you have to change hd(x,1) to hd(x, 2)) [09:29] Sloopy I don't know how to do so with Orca. I am very new to all this [09:29] leonbrussels: hmm ok [09:29] well i got 2 hard disk drives on my pc..i have installed windows xp on the first one and ubuntu on the other one,but after installing ubuntu either windows xp or ubuntu cannot recognize the hdd i installed ubuntu in.can someone help?thanks [09:29] rww: again it said no errors.. [09:30] -how can i make sudo ask for a second password, thats not roots password to become root? [09:30] Acedip: no, I meant try deleting that folder again, not doing the ntfs check again [09:30] scientes: umm. You don't have a sudo password. Sudo's asking for your user account's password. [09:30] yes but i want a sudo password [09:30] can any one help me on automatic installation ( network boot+ preseeding) ? [09:30] i can make it ask for a users password but then it runs at that user [09:31] well i got 2 hard disk drives on my pc..i have installed windows xp on the first one and ubuntu on the other one,but after installing ubuntu either windows xp or ubuntu cannot recognize the hdd i installed ubuntu in.can someone help?thanks [09:31] i want i to ask for a differnt password and run as root [09:31] noone seems to know ... :( [09:31] Grr [09:31] 2 levels of power=2 differnt passwords [09:31] alex_21, well cant help with ´No ... something... process' doesnt give much to go on... [09:31] scientes: what? If you run sudo, it'll ask for your password. If you make another user account and authorize it for sudo, and it runs sudo, sudo will ask for that user's password [09:31] rww: again the same input/output errora [09:31] rww: how about this command "mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/whatever /whereever/ -o force" [09:31] rww you dont get what i want [09:32] Oh my goodness, why oh why did I not ever learn orCA [09:32] Grr, What can I do? [09:32] hi, any help on preseeding? I have a problem [09:32] rww its mainly because ubuntu unlike other distro takes away power to control samba passwords seperately, they must have moneky patched it [09:33] rww: the command is something about resetting the log ??? [09:33] How can I read it without Orca? [09:33] scientes: what you want is for your samba password to be different from your sudo password. Go make another user and assign the shares to them then use that for samba. [09:33] alex_21, a copy of what network says when it restarts would be a good way to start [09:33] scientes: samba passwords are separate than your user passwords. [09:33] thats bs rww, that only fixes a single problem, having a diffent password for root access fixes many more [09:34] and doesnt require constant upkeep [09:34] scientes: no it doesn't [09:34] But how do you get that to read with Orca? [09:34] Help please.......... [09:34] Flannel, not in intrepid [09:34] Flannel, and change the smd.cnf setting doesnt do anything === Cueball_ is now known as Cueball [09:34] Acedip: don't think it'd help, but you're welcome to try it. I'm kinda running out of ideas. [09:35] scientes: I suppose that may be the case. It also could be a bug. Have you looked into it? [09:35] alex_21, dont know, i am hearing not sight impaired so i am not knowledgable in such things... [09:35] rww: but i dint get the /whereever part of it ?? [09:35] Orca Help, please, anyone! [09:35] whenever i submit bugs i get a template "invalid' response no matter how much information i include, so i stopped submitting bugs to ubuntu' [09:36] scientes: Invalid generally has nothing to do with how much information you give, but instead whether or not what you've submitted is a bug. [09:36] Doesn't anyone here know how to use Orca? [09:36] Basics with Terminal will do [09:36] Acedip: first one should be /dev/sdb5. Second one should be a directory to mount it at. if /media/disk-1 still exists, use that [09:37] Flannel, no incomplete sorry [09:37] Flannel, i state my problems in full they just dont want to listen to them [09:37] rww: first i umount it or just fire up the command as it is [09:37] O R C A? [09:38] ta Ubuntu anagnorizun serial mouse? [09:38] scientes: I know for a fact that that's not how bug triage works in general. While it is possible you've had bad luck, I'm not sure I'd subscribe to that either. [09:38] scientes: yes, the ubuntu bug people deliberately ignore bug reports from you, despite putting out calls for bug reports on a frequent basis, because they secretly don't want bug reports [09:39] does Ubuntu supports serial mouse? [09:39] rww: You'd unmount it first, since that's a mount command, and you can't mount stuff that's currently mounted :) [09:39] ORCA, Amnyone, I beg you? [09:39] prety much :) but seriously when i submit bug reports to other project i get a response, so far in ubuntu ive only gotten template responses [09:39] alex_21: Have you tried posting your question on ubuntu forums? [09:39] Anyone? [09:40] How can I limited ubuntu to only use and see 1 cpu [09:40] No, because the forums don't work well with Voiceover [09:41] Oh, why oh why is accessibility so low of a priority [09:41] Acedip: but yeah, I'm out of ideas. Only thing I can suggest is finding a Microsoft Windows computer (since ntfs is /their/ standard, anyway) and doing a disk check there and trying to delete the directory from there. [09:41] does Ubuntu support serial mouse? [09:41] try it [09:41] ^ [09:41] Acedip: sorry I couldn't be of more help :( [09:41] alex_21, it isnt a low priority, there is a limited amount of resources... [09:41] yes nicEXE [09:41] NicEXE: probably, I know the Linux kernel does. [09:41] intrepid upgrade: fail [09:42] re [09:42] You guys say that Ubuntu is the most accessible OS, and yet no one except a very small small number of people in teh community have the knowledge [09:42] alex_21: that's probably because about 95% of Ubuntu users don't need accessibility tools. === wos1 is now known as cheesebender [09:43] okk [09:43] alex_21: that statement is viable for nearly every fascet of advanced human knowledge [09:43] alex_21: what was it you were trying to do from terminal? maybe there's a workaround? [09:43] alex_21: Please be patient, none of us knows everything there is to know about Ubuntu. [09:43] alex_21, also a very small percentage of ubuntu users/knowledgeable use irc also [09:43] gd morning all! [09:43] hi [09:43] just formatted EXT3 partition... "Used: 10GB" - wtf? [09:44] formatted by gparted [09:44] Yeah, but with VIP Ubuntu on the rise we should se a change in those numbers. Sloopy The accessibility is not always such because of resources. Apple has come quick and cleanly into the accessiblity market, and they don't market to access users alone [09:44] Please help I get this message in syslog: soft lockup - CPU#1 stuck for 11s!

[11:12] Mal3ko: man sudoers [11:12] you can setup available commands per user [11:13] HiSPeed: sorry, can you rephrase your question? [11:13] Mal3ko: For ssh access, they don't need to be an admin at all, just a regular user. [11:13] Mal3ko: Just make sure they aren't part of the "admin" group, and they won't be able to use sudo. [11:13] how do i do that? [11:14] set a new group for their user acc? [11:14] HiSPeed: to prompt a user for password on the commandline, use sudo. To do so graphically use gksudo [11:14] Mal3ko: Their user account probably isn't an admin account already (unless you've set it to be so) you can verify by this: `groups username` where username is their username. Is "admin" listed? === Katie-Offline is now known as KatieKitty [11:15] is it possible to install Lilo and the realtime kernel easily with ubuntu?? i mean without reformatting? [11:15] ziroday`, so why dont i need sudo when i start truecrypt as the user from the very same commandline? there must be some other, more userfriendly way [11:15] HiSPeed: because inside truecrypt it checks to see if you are root or not and does sudo if you are ont [11:15] HiSPeed: sudo "remembers" that you authenticated for a little while. Could that be it? [11:15] where should I go to learn how to slim down ubuntu to make it faster? [11:15] rww, nah it s actually asking via gui ;) [11:16] ziroday`, well so it should do the same when being run from a script [11:16] and it tells me that it failed to obtain admin privs [11:16] so how can you allow it to try to obtain the privs from within a script too? [11:16] HiSPeed: you are executing truecrypt from a script? [11:16] not all linux is ubuntu [11:16] it's a truescriptscript! [11:16] truecryptscript! [11:17] HiSPeed: this was for me??

[11:18] how to remove it? [11:18] ziroday`, again not all linux is ubuntu and besides ubuntu has enough ideas in it already to let me circumvent this userunfriendly bit ;) === sauvin_ is now known as sauvin [11:18] i just installed ubuntu 8.10, and it's crashing almost immediately after i log in, this started happening after i enabled desktop effects and i think that this is what is causing it. how can i disable desktop effects in terminal? or any other ideas? [11:18] ah well i ll probably just make this script root-only.. sudoing a million times in a row on a non ubuntu isnt a real option [11:19] HiSPeed: I am sorry, I am completely lost. From what I understand you are creating a script which executes truecrypt, however truecrypt wants to be run as root so I said do sudo truecrypt. What is the issue now?

[11:19] erythrocyte: ask the knoppix devs, this is for ubuntu support [11:20] Rehllo [11:20] and the most annoying thing is, that i still get a prompt by tc through the perl script via the DISPLAY .. despite me asking it to be --non-interactive [11:20] erythrocyte: join #knoppix on this server [11:20] j'avais oublié de chercher un truc ici ...

[11:20] This morning I booted up my computer, and now, instead of normal sound, there is this clicking sound. How can I fix this? I tried reinstalling ALSA. [11:21] ziroday`, this means, save the user having to remember to do sudo.. sudo'ing in the script is a definite no-go for about any *n*x system other than ubuntu ;) [11:21] poisonkiller: Try to change the buffer size in the audio configuration [11:22] poisonkiller: have you tried setting the PCM level to <= 80% ? [11:22] HiSPeed: then in your script check if the user is running ubuntu, if yes use the sudo version. If not use the other version [11:22] i mean, come on, ubuntu gives me the admin prompt when running `truecrypt` but it doesnt do so when running `truecrypt` from within the script on that very same console as that very same user [11:22] it doesnt make sense [11:22] i just installed ubuntu 8.10, and it's crashing almost immediately after i log in, this started happening after i enabled desktop effects and i think that this is what is causing it. how can i disable desktop effects in terminal? or any other ideas? [11:22] HiSPeed: you need to talk to the truecrypt devs about that [11:22] i refrain from creating some weird workaround when there are mechanisms to be used within the system to save those workaround [11:22] it s an ubuntu thing.. why would the truecrypt people care? [11:22] erythrocyte: lol, thanks for pointing that out :) it turned out my PCM was at 0% [11:23] Guest57561, metacity --replace === E-XtraCt is now known as XtraCt^eSr [11:23] when upgrading Ubuntu is it necessary to manually change the name of the version from the sources.list for every mirror source? === XtraCt^eSr is now known as E-XtraCt [11:23] poisonkiller: no problemo :) [11:23] perlmonkey: no.

[11:40] exactly [11:40] Greetings when ubuntu loaded, it somehow didn't load my partitions [11:41] Can someone tell me how I can load those partitions without rebooting, and then mounting said partitions? [11:41] KwiFiManager [11:41] _nmap: how do you runs dhcpd? [11:41] perlmonkey: Was that for me? [11:41] deardeath2, mount /dev/nameof device /mnt/wheredoyouwannamountit [11:41] anyone who has wifi probs [11:42] blobX: The problem is, my partitions aren't listed under /dev [11:42] As in when I opened Ubuntu, it somehow didn't see the other partitions [11:42] Morning folks. I was wondering does Synaptic keep a cache of all the deb files it downloads and if it does can it be purged to save some space on the HD? [11:42] perlmonkey, do you have? then its network manager. dump it at any cost [11:42] how do I restart the sshd service with ubuntu ? [11:42] deardeath2, mount /dev/hda1 --> first partition hda2 second and so on [11:42] whileimhere: yep. do sudo apt-get clean [11:42] perlmonkey, just kidding. what is the problem? [11:42] UP! I've an intel ICH6 controller for my ide cd drive, so i'd like to know if it's better the old PIIX_IDE module or the new and libata based ata_piix.

[11:43] whileimhere, yes it does. to clean it up from the terminal sudo apt-get clean && sudo apt-get autoclean [11:43] whileimhere: it can, `sudo apt-cache clean` will get rid of all of them, `sudo apt-cache autoclean` will get rid of old ones [11:43] blobX: There is no hda or hdb or hdc or any partitions under /dev. Is there a way to make the ubuntu re-check other partitions without rebooting it? [11:43] but Kwifimanager of network manager are useful starting points for anyone not able to connect to router or having big problems [11:43] *or [11:43] <_nmap> dmay, just typing dhcpd3, is it right? [11:43] deardeath2, then you have sata drives and they use SDA nams [11:44] perlmonkey, so its the network manager. wireless was working but now it doesnt [11:44] blobX me [11:44] perlmonkey: how can i connect to wifi without having to enter a password for network manager [11:44] Flannel it say invalid operation [11:44] not the wpa password, the sudo password [11:44] perlmonkey, need some input regarding wpa2 [11:44] whileimhere: what did? [11:44] deardeath2, try sudo fdisk -l [11:44] psypher246: install wpa_supplicant and edit your interfaces file with the necessary wpa login info [11:44] to see what you have [11:44] perlmonkey, added needed info but still no access to my router [11:44] says it can't open /dev/sda [11:45] deardeath2, Defrysk: Recent (well, not so recent anymore) versions all have sdX instead of hdX [11:45] and /dev/sdb [11:45] _nmap: not shure ) try sudo /etc/init.d/dhcp [11:45] but you may not need wpa_supplicant, depends on your hardware [11:45] perlmonkey: can i not edit the authori deardeath2, sda1 or sda2 and so on ?? [11:45] whileimhere and Flannel, its apt-GET clean, apt-CACHE has other usage [11:45] _nmap: ( is for autocomplete) [11:45] deardeath2: i dont use ubuntu but gentoo, but open a terminal and give 'sudo lspci -vvv | nopaste' :) [11:45] <_nmap> dmay, /etc/init.d/dhcp3-server start [11:45] <_nmap> and the service start! [11:45] psypher246: but then it won't be secure, you have to have a key else anyone will be able to access your network [11:45] <_nmap> dmay, heehhe thanks man. [11:46] zizo, its the same command on both distroes [11:46] blobX: Yes they are listed as sda1, but fdisk says it cannot open the partitions [11:46] how can anyone access the network? [11:46] deardeath2, fdkisk cant open it its a partition tool [11:46] i'm not talking about the wireless pasword [11:46] i'm taling about letting network manager connect to it and IT asks for a password [11:46] deardeath2, do mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/disk1 (you need to make disk1 under /mnt) [11:46] ok [11:46] deardeath: Are these partitions linux formatted? [11:47] no [11:47] Everything worked pretty much alright [11:47] i know, but some things are a little different :) for example you didn't compiled your kernel, and probably thisis wath tou need [11:47] perlmonkey, any tips for me ? [11:47] I don't use network manager [11:47] Just that my pc crashed last night, when I booted it in the morning the partitions weren't accessible in ubuntu [11:47] perlmonkey, sure, I use text conf docs too but it doesnt help mr [11:47] does anyone know how to give a specific user authorization to use specific thing sin ubuntu without the sudo password being enetered? [11:48] blobX: Mount is denied because NTFS is marked to be in use. [11:48] or at least what i should google for [11:48] deardeath2, unmount it then [11:48] ‎lla olleh [11:48] psypher246: try sudoedit [11:48] deardeath2, boot to xp/vista and make a normal shutdown [11:48] thanks [11:48] blobX the only user that can do that is root [11:49] jim_p: The problem is I do not want to boot the pc. [11:49] Ah well it appears I'll need to boot it, thanks a lot. [11:49] deardeath: Also, you could add the --force option to the mount command. [11:49] perlmonkey, my Q is what do add in inerfaces to be able to access my network ? [11:49] deardeath2, well thats the only safe way. you can try forced mounting but it may screw things [11:49] blobX; sorry that answer was for psypher246 [11:50] only 3 lines are needed in interfaces to use WPA wifi [11:51] hi i am on ubuntu 8.10 and unable to play any media files!

[11:51] whileimhere, if you dont mind wine emulated picassa, yes [11:51] perlmonkey: then wat is the point of this new apparmor feuture if you cannot give access to other users besides root do do things [11:52] psypher246: well you can, but it requires password [11:52] perlmonkey, wext [11:52] what requires a password? [11:52] perlmonkey, not sure if its the right one for dwl g520 [11:52] blobX ok and you have wpa_supplicant installed? [11:52] morningwalker, what's your prob? [11:53] perlmonkey, not sure ..dont think so [11:53] No I don't mind Wine apps. [11:53] Is Picasa a closed source app? [11:53] SteveH_, i am unable to play media files [11:53] perlmonkey, is it in ubuntu 8.04 cd ? [11:53] whileimhere, its googles app. and it is windows picassa with wine [11:53] morningwalker, install ubuntu-restricted-extras [11:53] SteveH_, any suggestions? [11:54] bazhang, ok [11:54] But it is a closed source app then?? [11:54] hello [11:54] hi! Having some problems with Ubuntu on my Acer 5930.. On aprox 1/3 boot ups, I never get to the login screen but just get a black screen with a blinking capslock light (Kernel Panic I think?) Any advice?

[11:54] whoa, ubuntu-restricted-extras has a ton of nice stuff in it :) [11:54] how to cut and paste to other partition my sile in my ubuntu desktop?

[11:55] morningwalker: go to www.ubuntuguide.org VERY usefull for new users [11:55] hey people [11:55] whileimhere, and google denied to make a native linux app so far, although picassa is on v3 [11:55] perlmonkey, gonna check that url , thanks [11:56] quick question: how would I go about upgrading an existing 8.04 install to 8.10 using the standard Live ISO? [11:56] psypher246, thx for the link [11:56] I can apt-get, but web-surfing's blocked. Otherwise I'd have googled it [11:56] UberTaco: you can't. Only the alternate cd can be used [11:56] Curses. [11:56] jim_p I wonder why thy dont want a Linux app [11:56] Any chance I can do a network update then using update-manager or something? [11:56] UberTaco: oooh i had lots of fun with that one, quick answer, i could ONLY do it with the alternative [11:57] whileimhere, they said that a port to gtk or qt is pointless. let me find the articlew [11:57] psypher246, i will be more specific with my prob, when i play songs on rhythmbox, it shows that it is playing, but nothing is audible... only the login sound is heard when logging in [11:57] there seems that no other media file does actually play [11:58] try that command 1st then try media again [11:58] blobX: you should verify the chipset and make sure you have the right driver first of all. you can get info with lspci -v in shell, and also check dmesg to see if driver is loading and/or reporting any errors [11:58] perlmonkey: which password were you referring to, i don't think you understand what I mean [11:59] blobX: although there is open source driver available from D-Link you may not need to compile it, since theres some native support in Ubuntu but it depends on chipset version... http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=43311&highlight=D-Link has more info also [11:59] Ihr seid einfach nur klasse :) [11:59] psypher246: the password requested when you use sudo [11:59] hi guys can someone please help me find drivers to a webcam logitech 5000 please [11:59] i will be more specific with my prob, when i play songs on rhythmbox, it shows that it is playing, but nothing is audible... only the login sound is heard when logging in [11:59] perlmonkey: no u don't get what i mean [11:59] I am getting "Destination Host Unreachable" when trying to ping anything on mt net. The card is seen (and can work here in Windows), it shows up on ifconfig, and the route SEEMS correct. Can anyone look at http://paste.ubuntu.com/78251/ and see what I am missing? [12:00] it doesnt play a thing on VLC as well [12:01] hi everyone [12:01] total newbie here [12:01] Hi, I have a serious problem, my computer doesn't boot anymore. It complains that it cannot find the harddisk and drops to initramfs [12:01] morningwalker: well that could be a audio driver issue, in my book pulseaudio is still very dodgy. get the codecs 1st then come back here. u gonna need them anyway to play things [12:01] perlmonkey, thanks for links ..gonna do some reaserch and try again, kinda hard to download stuff when you have no access to internet [12:01] just installed ubuntu 8.10 32 bit on my AMD X2 64 bit 3800 PC [12:01] Ihr seid einfach Ihr seid einfach nur klasse :)nur klasse :) [12:02] he system seems very sluggish, and the cpu load in system monitor is always around 50%, even with nothing being done [12:02] steveH_ same happens when you ping the IP address? [12:02] when i do 2 things at a time, e.g. talk on skype, and watch a movie, the movie runs in slow motion [12:02] whats the best way to do network storage in ubuntu? [12:02] blobX: aye, you probably won't need to download anything I suspect [12:02] SteveH_, network manager problem. remove it [12:02] scientes, nfs [12:02] but nfs isnt secure [12:02] perlmonkyL Yeah, except when pinging "myself" [12:02] nfs rocks [12:03] psypher246, everything was fine when i was running ubuntu 8.04!! [12:03] scientes: check out sshfs [12:03] i was also getting really slow folder listings with nfs [12:03] SteveH_, everything is clean but it still does not connect, so some "layer" is responsible" for it [12:03] How should I fix it that my computer finds the drive from initramfs? [12:03] while on samba they are fast [12:03] morningwalker: things change, in my case hardy SUUUUCKED, and now intrepid roooocks, but some people have the opposite effect [12:03] scientes, is it on a local network? [12:04] yes [12:04] still, we share our network with the neighbors [12:04] jim_p: not syre which manager you are referring to? [12:04] ive been doing it but it isnt very secure [12:04] scientes, the storage area you want to make. or is it something more exotic [12:04] the system seems very sluggish, and the cpu load in system monitor is always around 50%, even with nothing being done [12:04] anyone know why? [12:04] psypher246; hardy was more stable... intrepid has more applications [12:04] I have ubuntu 8.10 [12:05] id like to be able to have new virtual machines use my home directory right off the bat [12:05] will that cause problems to have many logins on one home directory? [12:05] morningwalker: hardy was so unstable for me, i almost went back to gutsy, personally hardfy was the worst ubuntu yet, but others disagree [12:05] SteveH_ could be problem on router network config perhaps, thats all I think of [12:05] SteveH_, nm. the network manager thing/applet/whatever it is. stop its service and remove it [12:05] OK, so I can see the card, can see the IP address and the ifconfig looks good to me, and so does the route. What layer am I missing? [12:06] Steveh_ i might be able to help if you have networking issues [12:06] n connecting to the iternet [12:06] Is it normal that there havent been any updates for a few weeks with 8.10? seems trifling strange to me, or perhaps is there something wrong with my setup? [12:06] is your cable in correctly? not damaged? I had same problem a while ago and spend a good two hours on it and turned out to be a bad cable [12:06] I am at the initramfs and when trying to see if the disk is there in /dev/disk-by-uuid/ that whole directory doesn't exist! [12:07] internet* [12:07] can you look at the http://paste.ubuntu.com/78251/ file and see something? [12:07] re [12:07] if the cable and router are ok, then it has to be some firewall issue, try a basic connection without any firewall [12:07] monkeyb, sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade , and find out [12:07] whileimhere, it seems my internet is slow now. i have not forgotten it. i will find the article [12:08] SteveH_ what is the problem? [12:08] jum_p: are you saying that I ought to kill the nm process? [12:08] no ping from router [12:08] SteveH_, process or service or whatever it is. kill it and remove it [12:08] Defrysk: I have done that, no updates, it just seems strange after a few weeks im not getting any updates [12:09] ps -A kill (process id) === Cueball is now known as Cueball_ [12:09] does anyone know an effective way to identify a windows process in gnome? [12:09] hello, I'm trying to install ubuntu on my pc. Right now I have two disks, one with one partition and one with two partitions. I want to install it in one oft the partitions on the second disks, but what should I choose when installing? [12:09] NishaKitty, with wine I take it?

[12:17] napster: go to the synaptic and search for the package googleearth [12:17] Zaraki_Kenpachi, and make sure you have the latest version of clamav, because update denies to update older version of clamav [12:17] mrwes so is it nano edit /etc/apt/sources.list [12:17] http://www.googlubuntu.com/ [12:17] are you sure i can find it there?

[12:19] perlmonkey: it still has data on it [12:19] elijah, a link to code::blocks [12:19] sweetjesus:ok in that case linux is likely to ignore it and not see it as an available partition, you may need to manually select it [12:19] napster, did u find it? [12:20] blah! [12:20] Ooopppsss no application found [12:20] jim_p, sorry what i mean is that i install some softwares from the main repo, but when i run it is an older version, sudo apt-get update and sudo apt-get upgrade tells me all my software are up to date [12:21] yeah, 1337 users in this channel [12:21] perlmonkey if i go into manual and then delete it, then going back to the guide again do you think it will work?

[13:42] usb devices are notoriously difficult in Linux [13:42] ubuntulover: you can turn some icons on. open a terminal and type: gconf-editor [13:42] ard: omg ok hold up [13:42] pucko-: it's POSTCOM TD-SCDMA H301 [13:42] ubuntulover: go to apps/nautilus/desktop and check the ones you want to see [13:42] storage devices/keyboard and mice are ok, but anything else.. [13:43] juser123: formatting and reinstalling is a possibility, but it seems a bit extreme... especially if this is caused by a software update then it could easily happen again to the clean install... [13:43] 有没有国人啊？？ [13:43] nabilelisa: interesting.. the different kernels are "supposed" to be parallel installs so you can switch back and forth. [13:43] pucko-: it's a China company(postcom).

[13:47] juser123: am thinking of formatting and reverting to 8.04... its LTS and has been around enough for the bugs to get ironed out i reckon... does that sound reasonable or is there an easier way? [13:47] ubuntulover: there should be two panels, top of screen and bottom of screen: the top one has your menus and the botton one has taskbar and some others stuff [13:48] nabilelisa: sounds like your init might be corrupted. I'm not sure how to fix this in the ubuntu way so I'm going to be of little help there, sorry [13:48] ard: nope im in terminal moade and all i have is a box where i can tpye stuff, other then that their is nothing else [13:48] !resetpanels | ubuntulover [13:48] ubuntulover: To reset the panel to defaults, type this in a !terminal: « gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel » [13:48] nabilelisa: i can't comment on lts, but you have a point that makes sense.

[13:49] I=it [13:49] juser123: well thanks anyway, i really appreciate having somebody to bounce ideas off! [13:49] aman, dude, go the pastebin, paste your fstab there and then tell me the URL [13:49] ard: nope destop edition, i just used the latest version [13:49] nabilelisa: my thoughts would be to 'reload' the kernel with apt, but that assumes you have the system running. can you boot into recovery mode? [13:49] nabilelisa: no problem. good luck. === jamil_13579 is now known as jamil_1 [13:49] !share [13:49] ubuntulover: ok. so you don't have panels or desktop wallpaper or desktop right click menu?

[14:21] Brandano: I can only get them in tty and no idea how to save or access them of a live CD - no other comps to write them down to [14:21] harc: That's one part of xorg I can't help with, but at least everyone now knows what your issue is. [14:21] cheers ardchoille [14:22] !smart [14:22] smart is another meta-package manager available for Ubuntu. It's quite stable, uses APT's repositories, can handle mirrors/multiple-connections, and is supposed to make Ubuntu BiArch-compatible. See http://labix.org/smart and https://wiki.kubuntu.org/SmartPackageManager [14:22] harc: well, you can do a "cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log|grep EE" and see if there is any obvious error [14:22] !cdc-acm [14:22] Sorry, I don't know anything about cdc-acm [14:23] j marco [14:23] My sound Volume is too low [14:23] turn it up then [14:24] Brandano: http://pastebin.com/d37a1c031 [14:24] if all volumes are on maximum, check that you haven't mismatched impedances [14:24] eg. plugging non-amplified speakers into a line-out [14:24] jamil_1:alsamixer -Dhw [14:24] hi, I'm running ubuntu 8.04 on my old HP Compaq nx7010, and everything seems to work just fine, even suspend and hibernate. However, each time I bring the machine back from suspend, Ubuntu complains "Sleep problem: Your computer failed to suspend. Check the help file for common problems". I just don't get it though, cause the machine seems to enter suspend mode quite nicely. The only blips I've noticed are the soundcard/speakers making a sharp [14:24] harc: if you have a dual card setup with the latest nvidia drivers and the latest xorg, I found out (the hard way!) that xorc can't decide which device to use as primary, and you have to specify it in the xorg.conf file [14:24] Brandano: I'm running on a live cd at the moment thou [14:24] ardchoille: #compiz-fusion helped me! :D [14:24] Greetings. [14:24] alex314: :D [14:24] Is there a file anywhere that stores screen resolution prefernces? I'm having some trouble working with xrandr. [14:25] ardchoille: I had to turn off my "lighting" setting under General options in CCSM [14:25] Brandano: afaik it's a single card setup [14:25] (not my laptop but preatty sure of that) [14:25] harc: on a laptop, it seems, since you have a touchpad. But we can ignore that [14:25] harc: the only error that seems to cause trouble is this one: (EE) RADEON(0): [dri] RADEONDRIGetVersion failed to open the DRM [14:26] http://data.fuskbugg.se/skalman01/Screenshot-48.png [14:26] that's what it looks like now :) [14:26] xiangfu thanks :) [14:26] is there anyone use Hiweed? [14:26] HELP please - How do I shut off the firewall on my ubuntu ? [14:26] jamil_1: you are welcome :-) [14:26] I want to share some files with my mac, but the mac just doesn't recognize it [14:26] shaiguitar_: there shouldn't be one running by default [14:26] I am using Ubu8.04, Since I activated the NVIDIA drivers my resolution wont go over 1024*768. I have not found any resolution line on my XORG file, what could I do to increase my resolution over 1024 768? [14:27] shaiguitar_: unless you've set one up - there isn't a blocking rule in place [14:27] hmm, so it's the mac not working I guess. [14:27] Thanks. [14:27] shaiguitar_: did you install a firewall in ubuntu? as it does not have one by default [14:27] nope. I guess this is not ubuntu's falutl then [14:27] Thanks for the help :) [14:28] harc: this page seems relevant, but I don't know much about Radeon cards: http://forum.compiz-fusion.org/showthread.php?t=3679&page=7 [14:28] shaiguitar_: check you domain, needs to be the same on both computers [14:28] recon69|away: no it doesn't [14:28] Brandano: yeah, the lsmod | grep fglrx - just found the same [14:29] Brandano: only not sure it that will affect my install on only the livecd? [14:29] ikonia: doesn't what? [14:29] recon69|away: the domain names don't need to be the same [14:29] Brandano: blah, pasted the command instead of the link [14:30] Hi everyone. [14:30] I'm having some troubles with a multi screen configuration. [14:30] how can I give a user only view and read priviege to his own home dir and not to the dir of other users? [14:30] so that he is not able to see the files in other home dirs? [14:30] bk: thange the permissions to 600 of the home dir's [14:30] or 700 [14:30] harc: I don't know how the livecd runs. I think it has its own filesystem in memory [14:30] That's right [14:31] howdy folks. [14:31] ikonia, how to I do this? and what is the difference between 600 and 700? [14:31] i only can connect a pc lan with proxies, what do i have to do to change the firewall settings to allow a direct connection ? [14:31] harc: that said, if you have a 2nd PC to consult internet you can still boot to the terminal on the machine you are fixing [14:31] 7 = rwx [14:31] 6 = rw [14:31] bk: bk execute bit [14:32] i stick in my trusty lil thumb drive (using ubuntu) and i do mount /dev/sdc1 /media is that the correct way? [14:32] Brandano: yeah, thats the problem - got just one box here === shp is now known as bulasd [14:32] harc: then I don't see many solutions other than pen, paper, and rebooting often [14:32] Someone use multi screen configuratio with 2 differents resolution and an ATI card ? [14:33] ikonia, thanks, how can I change it? [14:33] bk: chmod [14:33] chmod 700 /home/toto [14:33] hi there everybody [14:33] Hi [14:33] N3oXid: I think that to do that you need a virtual desktop large enough to accomodate both screens... I don't really know how it's set up. [14:34] thanks N3oXid and ikonia [14:34] bk: you're welcome [14:34] Brandano: I am using a virtual desktop. [14:35] Brandano: I have set it up with "aticonfig". [14:35] Brandano thnx for help anyways, will try the oldschool way, c ya [14:35] Brandano: But my second screen has a really bad resolution. [14:35] N3oXid: I have an Nvidia SLI setup. Can help with that because I had to fight with it, but don't know much about ATI [14:36] somebody here know why save to file isn't woriking when i use php.exe -f ? :) === cidiajah is now known as reywerd [14:36] Brandano: Ok ::) [14:36] hey [14:36] Anyone know if gparted with resize an ext3 partition? === sale_ is now known as sale [14:37] How can I stop a package from appearing the in update window? I installed the debian version of amsynth because the ubuntu one crashed, and now the update dialog shows the ubuntu version as an update (the version numbers are the same) [14:37] HarryManback: I think it does. [14:37] FreeFull: it's not really a good idea to mix distro packages like that [14:37] N3oXid: OK. I know I will have to boot to a live CD becuase it is my system partition.. [14:38] That's right :) [14:38] ardchoille: The Ubuntu version crashed when I tried to start it [14:38] The Debian version works. [14:38] I am using Ubu8.04, Since I activated the NVIDIA drivers my resolution wont go over 1024*768. I have not found any resolution line on my XORG file, what could I do to increase my resolution over 1024 768? [14:38] FreeFull: Then it would be better to debug the app. I realize the debian version works but it's still not a good idea and now you're seeing why ;) [14:39] ardchoille: It's a problem with the gcc version used to compile the program [14:39] Same thing happened to zsnes [14:39] NkZ: you can try and force a resolution by adding modelines to xorg.conf. Not sure if it still works like that on the latest xorg, a few things have been updated [14:40] Brandano: Gonna try that. [14:40] FreeFull: How many other packages have you mixed like that? Could it be that mixing is causing some of these problems? [14:40] ardchoille: Only amsynth and zsnes. [14:40] No other packages [14:40] The problem was reported by other people [14:41] NkZ: modes are read left to right, so put the one you want by default leftmost [14:41] oops [14:41] Actually, I'm not quite sure if I mixed zsnes [14:41] i have 60gb hd, 256 ram, can i install ubuntu? [14:41] hi all [14:41] Newbis: Yes [14:41] Newbis: barely [14:41] yes [14:41] Newbis: I suggest you install Xubuntu === patrickod is now known as patrickod|away [14:41] i'm running ubuntu with 256mb and 20gb [14:41] you might be best using xubuntu [14:41] It uses less memory [14:42] FreeFull: My advice would be to uninstall the debain packages and try to debug the crash, we really can't support debian packages on Ubuntu [14:42] actually ubuntu is in 6gb partition only [14:42] what's the diff? [14:42] runs fine [14:42] the ram is a little row. Forget compiz [14:42] *low [14:42] im totally noob here [14:42] ardchoille: Sure, uninstall amsynth and be left with no working sound synthesiser. [14:42] how come when i mount a usb thumb drive, i can not write to it? [14:42] i need someone to hell me to get my audio to play [14:42] The bug reports are already there [14:42] Question: I'm running ubuntu, and I'm having some weird issues. When I play music in either rhythmbox or totem media player, the visualizations are blinky, and then I move another window infront of it, it overlays that window. Has anyone seen this issue before? [14:42] 256MB is the minimum ram i would recommend, but i would not suggest running a heavy weight desktop like Gnome, or KDE, go for something lighter like xfce4 [14:42] perlmonkey: any desktop effects? [14:42] Hi. I accidentally deleted some files with rm in the terminal. How do I recover them? [14:43] SimoneB, you dont [14:43] SimoneB: you can't [14:43] Brandano: i found Gnome with all the whistles and bells ran quite slow with 256MB, but Xfce4 runs fine [14:43] malcom2073: It's to do with desktop effects [14:43] FreeFull: Hmm, I'll look into that thanks. [14:43] hello [14:43] malcom2073: Disabling the should do the trick [14:43] them* [14:43] cackharot: hi [14:44] In order to maximise disk space, I use NFS and have a centralised "home" filesystem on a server [14:44] Indeed that does do it heh [14:44] is this a known issue? [14:44] as in should I report it [14:44] 1 [14:44] 2 [14:44] 3 [14:44] 4 [14:44] malcom2073: It's a known issue [14:44] artems: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [14:44] Delvien: hi [14:44] Bah heh ok [14:44] thanks Freefull [14:44] malcom2073: np [14:44] SimoneB: when linux deletes files, it deletes them. It might just be possible to recover them if the space they used wasn't overwritten, but it's a pretty complex job [14:44] I like effects :( [14:44] i found a huge difference between 256MB and 1GB of ram, even on older systems like P3...processor speed seems to have less impact on performance [14:45] is there any AVR simulatar availabe for linux [14:45] I've tried P3-600 and P4-2.4GHz, and Dual Core 1.6Ghz [14:45] SimoneB: and it depends a lot on what filesystem you are using [14:45] i googled but no hope [14:45] perlmonkey: Yeah, it's called not using swap and caching. [14:45] cackharot: AVR? [14:45] Brandano: well i could give it a try. i'm using ext3 [14:45] yeah i'm programming MCU atmel avr [14:46] cackharot, : does avrstudio run in wine? [14:46] SimoneB: http://www.xs4all.nl/~carlo17/howto/undelete_ext3.html [14:46] cackharot: Try running VMLAB in Wine [14:46] i use avrgcc and avrdude [14:46] cackharot: Apparently it works [14:46] they work fine [14:46] what do i have to do to make ubuntu give internet from a server pc to my lan pc, y only can do it with proxies, something wrong in my firewall ? [14:47] k but i feel uncomfortable with avrstudio [14:47] hello [14:47] perlmonkey: Look at iptables. [14:47] err pablo [14:47] is there any native linux platform for simulating avr [14:47] Yahovah: don't use it [14:47] cackharot: Probably no [14:47] Yahovah, right, but i do not know what [14:47] i tried simulavr [14:48] but cant simulat ADC or UART etc.., [14:48] i found iptables very complicated to use [14:48] cackharot: http://www.captain.at/electronic-linux-atmel-avr-simulator-gui-vmlab.php === patrickod|away is now known as patrickod [14:48] pablo: http://www.howtoforge.com/nat_iptables [14:48] FreeFull: thanks let me check [14:48] i need someone to help me with audio problem in ubuntu 8.10 [14:48] Yahovah, right, i read about, make some rules, but i cant get it working [14:48] puneeth: Sure, what's the problem? [14:48] I used shorewall which is a kind of simpler way to manage iptables as a firewall, but then recently i decided to no longer use Linux as a router and switched to a hardware router [14:49] may be something help me to make the rule [14:49] pablo: if you're using iptables I recommend Shorewall [14:49] mmh i use firestarter, its easy [14:49] FreeFull, i am able to play music, all players run media, but nothing is audible... ive cross checked my speaks are volume, ive put them to max!! [14:50] FreeFull: thank u very much I've to yet try this seems it will work fine [14:51] FreeFull: VMLAB is good [14:51] puneeth: Press alt+f2, type in xterm, in the window that pops up write "cat /dev/urandom > /dev/dsp" (without quotes), and tell me if you hear anything or get an error [14:51] cackharot: np [14:51] even in system>preferences>sounds, the test dont play anything [14:51] if i want to complete remove a compiled application, how can i do that? [14:52] puneeth: Try doing what I said and tell me what you get [14:52] FreeFull' no sucess [14:52] it working [14:52] ive tried that many times [14:52] shams: You go to the directory with the source, and type make uninstall [14:52] puneeth: What do you get? [14:53] puneeth: perhaps you have digital out enabled [14:53] could anyone help me to install qt on ubuntu 8? [14:53] This may be a simple question, but, I need to prepend a kernel option when booting a ubuntu image, but the options line ends with "--" (two dashes) [14:53] * Brandano knows he did [14:53] should I just add after these two dashes, or erase them? [14:53] I'm not sure what they mean in the context of kernel boot options [14:53] FreeFull, no output [14:53] me and my friend are in same ISP and also same gateway. Is there any tool to watch the traffic in that default gateway [14:53] puneeth: Do you get an error? [14:53] brandano, how do i disable it, just incase?? [14:53] FreeFull' No Output [14:54] i just want to sniff his IP packets [14:54] how do i make xchat autoload fish script when it starts. have to load it manually everytime i restart xchat [14:54] puneeth: double click on the mixer icon, when the full mixer pops up you have 3 tabs at the top. Last one is "switches". See if there's a checkbox there. it varies depending on the soundcard [14:54] hello, would there be any problem with switching my mdadm raid to using uuid's? I'm kind of tired of the kernel changing sd devices on me and it's causing my server not to boot.. [14:55] hi all [14:55] Brandano, where is the mixer icon?? [14:55] I upgraded from 8.04 to 8.10 [14:55] I upgraded from 8.04 to 8.10 and now my ati radeon 9600 does not work anymore... why? [14:55] en1gm4: cool but i still have too [14:55] puneeth: on my machine next to the clock [14:56] dont- [14:56] en1gm4: is there any major improvement [14:56] don't do that cackharot [14:56] en1gm4: ? [14:56] cackharot: yest, what was working before the upgrade now it isn't... [14:57] by installing xubuntu, can i create vhost for irc? [14:57] Brandano, No luck with me, i have no such icon [14:57] en1gm4: ho thanx [14:57] anyone having a decent wallpaper he/she wants to share? i am bored of searching. now i have this on http://pincel3d.deviantart.com/art/Houston-104016724 [14:57] FreeFull: if i remove source directory so how can i do that?

[14:58] en1gm4: because you now got the new xorg, which still needs a few things to get fixed [14:58] shams: By downloading the source again [14:58] they are silent FreeFull [14:58] !theme | jim_p More good theme stuff here: [14:58] jim_p More good theme stuff here:: Find your themes at: http://www.gnome-look.org - http://art.gnome.org - http://www.kde-look.org - http://kubuntu-art.org - http://themes.freshmeat.net/browse/58/ - http://www.guistyles.com - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Artwork/ - Also see !changethemes and https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuEyeCandy [14:58] cackharot: downgrade is not possible, I shoud reinstall [14:58] en1gm4: ho thas awkful [14:58] en1gm4: check the log for errors, usually that's the first step [14:58] Brandano: any way to downgrade that? [14:58] What do I have to consider If i change my grafic adapter from an ati onboard to a nvidia device? Do i have to deinstall a few driver or prapare Xorg somehowsomething? [14:58] i have looked at gnome sites etc [14:58] en1gm4: don't think so, but I am sure you can fix it [14:59] tealson: you just have to reconfigure Xserver [14:59] en1gm4: try removing and reinstalling the radeon drivers [14:59] tealson: If you're using Ubuntu 8.10, you will probably have to disable the ati card in the bios and that's all [14:59] exit [14:59] quit [14:59] :D [14:59] en1gm4: post error on forum and wait for correction [14:59] Question! I change the network stuf in administration -> network, my IP from dynamic to static, however this doesn't get reflected in ifconfig, how can i make it take effect? [14:59] en1gm4: reinstall sucks [14:59] tealson: I did change from ati to nvidia. I suggest you remove the radeon drivers before removing the card [15:00] erUSUL: I have deinstalled everything with "ati" in it, can I tell Xorg in 8.10 to use the generic "vesa" driver, so that i can be sure my Xorg will start? [15:00] Brandano: I fought with 8.04, the only way to make them works was with envyng, the is not envy version for 8.10 [15:00] en1gm4: all customization will go off like smoke [15:00] tealson: It probably will. [15:00] Brandano: already done ;) [15:00] cackharot: I may port my home, but it's not a "clean" work [15:00] tealson: then it ought to be fairly painless [15:00] reduz-> how did you change from dynamic to static? and what commands you used? [15:00] tealson: If it won't, login in a virtual terminal, start up irssi, type in /connect irc.freenode.net and /join #ubuntu [15:01] en1gm4: k [15:01] cackharot: in the form i saw lot of people complaining about this... I read that AFTER the upgrade obiovsly :O [15:01] FreeFull: or he could plug the radeon card back in while he figures out the previous log :) [15:01] FreeFull: the problem is, my wireless nic does not work without network-manager in gnome ;-) [15:01] en1gm4: so this is my luck [15:01] FreeFull: that's why I ask before i destroy my system :) [15:01] tealson-> have you tried using the command line? [15:01] tealson: You could do what Brandano said [15:02] en1gm4: i actually prepared to upgrade 2morrow [15:02] tealson: just don't snap the card in half until you are sure you'll get a GUI with Nvidia [15:02] cackharot: yes you're a lucky man xD [15:02] en1gm4: for my friend too [15:02] Brandano: It's onboard. He can't snap it [15:02] Ïðèâåò âñåì! [15:02] en1gm4: i dont have Gcard but friend does [15:02] en1gm4: he ll kick my ass if it does work after upgrade [15:02] n8tuser: yep, it simply does not work, its a usb stick, which only works with network manager, but thats a different story. [15:02] cackharot: yes you should read common upgrade issue on the forum before the upgrade, I have to remember this next time [15:02] Êòîíèòü ïî VPN ïîìîæåò?

[15:57] SpaceCow567, this place doesnt hand hold you [15:58] MrCollins: pardon? [15:58] SpaceCow567, I had the same problem and it had to do with me having 2 sound cards. my onboard and a audigy2 board [15:58] MrCollins:What does that mean? [15:58] MrCollins: This is a support channel. [15:58] SpaceCow567: I seem to recall that for 32 bit flash, there are some extra things you need for audio. [15:58] SpaceCow567: what sound card do you have? [15:58] PriceChild, yeah but it isnt meant to hand hold people, is it? [15:58] SpaceCow567: Where did you install flash from? [15:58] flaco: I think it's a Soundblaster [15:58] MrCollins: if that's what it takes, then fine. [15:59] MrCollins, depends on who is in here at the time.. and their moods.. :) at least we can normally point people to a good guide or 2 [15:59] PriceChild: got it from the Adobe site [15:59] PriceChild, no one holds my hand..... but I do understand the need === Aragon| is now known as Aragon [15:59] SpaceCow567: remove that, and sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree [15:59] i have no sound on a minimal install cd install. My lsmod: http://pastebin.com/d7fada423 and the lsmod from the livecd that makes sound: http://pastebin.com/d405d3b69 anyone got an idea whats configured wrong here ? [15:59] tpw_rules_-> so you tried both? which dir did you install it at? look in /lib/modules/`uname -r`/ubuntu/wireless [15:59] downloading ubuntu server [15:59] dr_willis, but doesnt that help everyone grow as a overall user? if they have to figure it out? [15:59] SpaceCow567: Aha! And because you did, you didn't get those extra dependencies installed. [15:59] ubuntu is based on debian right [15:59] ardchoille: Ij now oine more question. I think So stupid kid got on here and installed an xp theme on my machine. I just got through destroying the install kit and I destroyed the login theme, but its got some stupid splash of a windows xp pro login screen ugg. I think it the nautlush splash screen im not sure it's the one right before the system gives icons and such. anyway how do I revert it? or heck even change it [16:00] is it possible to install vmware-server on desktop systems (having a wm) or does it only work on servers? [16:00] MrCollins, eventually they do figure it out.. or they give up... so its all the same to me. === evalles_ is now known as effie_jayx [16:00] W8TAH, you can install any services on a desktop machine. theres not a lot of 'differance' in desktop and server.. (well theres some, but not that differnt) [16:00] ok [16:00] flash plugin nonfree is installed [16:01] cool - i would access it via the web interface again? [16:01] W8TAH, the 'server install' has some different tweaks, and settin gs by default - is the 'core' differance. [16:01] !debian > findme (findme, see the private message from ubottu) [16:01] W8TAH, you should be able to access it as you normally do. [16:01] LjL, thanks [16:01] ok [16:01] hi .. i just upgraded to intrepid ... do they have an update for azureus vuze ? [16:01] NoelJB: I got flash plugin nonfree, restarted mozilla, and it doesnt play sound on the youtube vids [16:02] NoelJB: Or any flash for that matter :( [16:02] n8tuser: says it doesnt exist... bash: /lib/modules/2.6.27-9-generic/ubuntu/wireless: No such file or directory [16:02] SpaceCow567, what I had to end up doing, was set in System -> Prefs -> Sound was 'OSS Sound System' to get my flash to work [16:02] vegombrei: Not to v4, so far. [16:02] vegombrei, for programs like that - i tend to download/install them for a single user.. that way the user can use the latest versions.. and not mess with the rest of the system [16:02] MrCollins: Okay, I'll try [16:02] vegombrei: I installed it from the vuze site, instead. [16:02] tpw_rules_-> this exist /lib/modules/`uname -r`/ubuntu/ ? [16:03] n8tuser: apparently not [16:03] NoelJB: can i sudo apt-get vuze ?? [16:03] MrCollins: Which one do I set to OSS Sound System? [16:03] SpaceCow567: do you have libflashsupport? [16:03] tpw_rules_-> this exist /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/ ? [16:04] NoelJB: let me open synaptic [16:04] SpaceCow567, the top 2, especially the Movies/Music selection [16:04] n8tuser: yeah, it says its a directory [16:04] NoelJB, if he is using intrepid, he cant use that one, he needs the package flashsupport-nonfree-extrasound [16:04] tpw_rules_-> the point here is to look for that driver below that directory [16:04] MrCollins: ok, thanks. [16:05] SpaceCow567: see above re: flashsupport-nonfree-extrasound [16:05] NoelJB: I have the one MrCollins said [16:05] so SpaceCow567 did you do sudo apt-get install flashsupport-nonfree-extrasound [16:05] SpaceCow567, oh ok [16:05] MrCollins: Yes, I've had it on my system [16:05] MrCollins: where is that package? I don't see it in the intrepid repos [16:06] SpaceCow567, I had a bugger of a time getting it the sound to work but I finally got it to work [16:06] n8tuser: there is a drivers directory, but there doesnt seem to be anything wireless related [16:06] NoelJB, I am not sure, let me check [16:06] tpw_rules_-> thats the reason it does not work, you dont have the drivers in the proper place? [16:07] MrCollins: Okay, I took your guys recommendations, let me test [16:07] NoelJB, its flashplugin-nonfree-extrasound [16:07] NoelJB, I made a mistake [16:07] cu all [16:07] AREMAX [16:08] n8tuser: ok, how do i get the drivers to the right place? [16:08] make install must be doing something wrong [16:08] tpw_rules_-> put it here /lib/modules/`uname -r`/ubuntu/wireless [16:08] hi guys. 8.10...installed snmpd ...however when I do an snmpwalk of the public zone, I'm missing all UCD-SNMP mibs for instance...I can't find a way to include these [16:08] n8tuser: so i should make that directory? [16:09] tpw_rules_-> or /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/net/wireless [16:09] MrCollins: weird .. I run apt-cache show flashplugin-nonfree-extrasound and get nothing. [16:09] I'm using unrar and it just says 'Failed' for all the files in the archive, any idea how to get an explanation as to what the failure is? [16:10] MrCollins: Changing the top 2 settings in sound to Open Sound System didn't help [16:10] NoelJB, reference this link http://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=flashplugin-nonfree-extrasound [16:10] MrCollins: I see it, but ... (see PM) [16:10] NoelJB, as far as knowing what depository it is on, I have no idea.... I did alot of adding to the list of repos..... === eric is now known as Guest6605 [16:11] SpaceCow567, did you make sure firefox was dead? [16:11] killall firefox [16:11] MrCollins: you're looking at the debian repos. [16:11] MrCollins: Yes, I restarted firefox [16:11] killall -9 MrCollins # Hehe [16:11] firefox-bin MrCollins [16:11] MrCollins: Although, there are about 4 different types of OSS in my sound preferences [16:11] MrCollins: http://packages.ubuntu.com/intrepid/flashplugin-nonfree-extrasound but I have that repos selected, and nothing. You saw the error I pasted from apt-get [16:12] Friend2, I am learning [16:12] ardantus, what does firefox-bin do? [16:12] n8tuser: hrm... what file would the driver be in under in the dir? [16:12] what is the command to bind streamtuner with audacious [16:12] SpaceCow567, Ok. I think this is beyond me man. I got it to work but I had to do alot to get it [16:13] "MrCollins [n=brian@72.150.77.175] has quit ["Killed with signal nine."] [16:13] MrCollins: its the firefox binary [16:13] tpw_rules_-> your driver...

[16:14] MrCollins: Okay, I'll keep messing with it. That's what my brother always told me to do in Linux, lol [16:14] tpw_rules_-> so follow what they recommend [16:14] n8tuser: ive tried all that and it wont work [16:14] thats why i came here [16:14] SpaceCow567, yeah I wish that it came pre-loaded and ready to go as a far as flash I think that is what keeps alot of users from making the 'switch' [16:15] I appreciate this channel, without this channel I think I would still be useing winblowz [16:15] tpw_rules_: Welcome to hash Ubuntu! [16:15] can I setup fstab to only force mounting an ntfs partition if errors occur? [16:15] Friend2: ?? [16:15] tpw_rules_-> im not going to read that in its entirety, what have you done so far?

[16:16] SpaceCow567, you cant run CAD in VirtualBox?

And that the group that the current user is a part of has no access, along with anyone else. [16:18] hello. I can not install vnc4viewer.

When I select it, and press delete it will 'remove' the file, but the drive will still have the same amount of data on it, only now it's invisible [16:19] TechFrenzy: What would "chmod 604 fileB" do?

I am running a ATI Mobility Radeon 9000 Graphics card on my laptop. If I enter "glxinfo", I always get "Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":20.0"." Most of graphical applications don't work either. I tried to install the ATI driver and fglrx, but on the newest version, my Graphics card seems to be not supported, so I locked the fglrx installation on a old one.

[16:20] pim, If I am understanding, when you delete a file, it only deletes the header so that the OS doesnt recognize it any longer so it doesnt know a file exists... am I right? [16:20] pim: empty the trash [16:20] pim: No.. [16:20] pim, I believe I am right or very close [16:20] n8tuser: darn it wont build anymore [16:20] TechFrenzy: You got it! :) [16:21] pim : hold shift and delete to delete it [16:21] ls -a shows a trash directory [16:21] TechFrenzy: Other users, that are NOT in the same group, have read access :) [16:21] Friend2: I am getting the hang of it :-) [16:21] n8tuser: i think i really screwed something up... make: *** /lib/modules/2.6.27-9-generic/build: No such file or directory.

[16:21] TechFrenzy: Thats cool :) [16:21] TechFrenzy: Do you know about SUID yet? [16:21] Friend2: Ancillary question - how do I know what group a user is in? [16:21] But the sound extras appears to be missing for the 32 bit side. Checking ... [16:21] NoelJB, what is the 'ns wrapper'?

[16:22] I have heard of SUID [16:22] MrCollins: it is pulled in automatically when you install flashplugin-nonfree on a 64 bit system. [16:22] TechFrenzy: erUSUL has a point .. id also shows the GUID .. so its actually better than "group" :) [16:22] something about setting permissions for a particular user id? [16:22] NoelJB, ah.

I am at a complete loss as to what to do, as with full brightness I cant get much battery life [16:24] Friend2: sorry [16:24] Friend2: guess I can't.

ATI removed support for a number of older cards in newer drivers. I would suggest you check to see if that is the case. [16:30] Friend2: What is that? [16:30] ciao [16:30] Morning everyone! [16:31] again, that's because I'm running 32 bit flash on 64 bit linux with Intrepid. If you're 32 bit, it would be different. [16:31] come si fa ad utilizzare hostap?

(click col tasto destro sul nome del canale per entrare) [16:31] softwarejonas_, np. you may need to use an older fglrx or the open source driver. You ought to be able to find a list of cards supported by the current driver on ATI's site I'd imagine. I use nvidia myself, so I can't tell you exactly where to look, but google ought to help :) [16:31] how can i use hostapd?

[16:40] Oneiroii: no afaik it isn't ;) [16:40] NoelJB [16:41] Friend2: /wc or /window close [16:41] paradroid-> think of it as cups-pdf is a different user as user1, cups-pdf user can not just write to ~user1/ directory [16:41] tealson: Good thing I prefaced with grain-of-salt, then :) [16:41] to be honest I just finished the installation of ubunto server and I landed in a command line interface [16:42] To anyone: How do we download winrar so we can extract files? [16:42] n8tuser: OK, I understand that. If I set my home dir to be also writable by others cups-pdf won't complain (obviously) and finish the printing job. But is that a solution? [16:42] cuz i cant install winrar for some reason [16:42] to be completly honest i have no idea what i was doing, just trying to reboot the system now to dual boot into windows [16:42] firstus: well first of all, winrar is windows [16:42] firstus: sudo apt-get install rar unrar [16:42] tpw_rules_-> you can verify with lsmod |grep drivername if the driver was loaded [16:42] Hello all [16:42] oh snap ctr+alt+del worked :) [16:42] lime4x4: where would i put this? [16:42] sudo apt-get install rar unrar [16:42] command line [16:43] ternimal or konsole [16:43] Lime: how wud i get to terminal-srry im a first user [16:43] n8tuser: it was loaded, but it still did the same thing [16:43] !webcam software [16:43] Sorry, I don't know anything about webcam software [16:43] !kopete [16:43] Instant Messenger Client Kopete (http://kopete.kde.org) supports MSN, Jabber, AIM, YIM, Gadu-Gadu, Novell Groupwise, ICQ and, in KDE 3, IRC.

[16:44] np [16:44] n8tuser: what i was describing, with the wireless section but no networks, and trying to manually enter the info still wont connect it [16:44] lime4x4: howd u know that command, is their a place where they have a set of commands? [16:45] hey [16:45] tpw_rules_-> lets do this step by step, did you do the lsmod ? and found the name of the driver? what is the name of the driver? [16:45] firstus: you just type some command and the system would tell some package to install that command [16:45] could someone tell me how to fix the screen resolution [16:45] n8tuser: i think it cant properly turn on the wireless card. my laptop has a slider to turn it on and off, and it worked fine in windows [16:45] i cant seem to find my setting [16:45] ah ok thank you [16:45] 1680x1050 [16:45] n8tuser: /usr/lib/cups/backend/cups-pdf is owned by root. /var/log/cups/cups-pdf_log complains that: failed to create user output directory (/home/paradroid/PDF) [16:45] tpw_rules_-> is the slider even on on the turn on state and not on the turn off state? [16:45] firstus: for example you type vnc4viewer [16:46] ubuntu_todd: in terminal rite? [16:46] firstus: yes. and the system would tell you some packages containing this command [16:46] paradroid-> hang a few.. === eitreach is now known as ckiiln [16:47] n8tuser: its a slider, not a switch, so it toggles and there is no definitive state. lsmod has ath5k in the listing [16:47] firstus: then you can use sudo apt-get install package to install [16:47] n8tuser: Sure :) Take your time and figure out the WLAN-thing first. :) [16:47] hey please [16:47] I have a problem while i am surfing the Internet, evrything becomes very slow. but with xp, the same sites goes much faster without any troubels!

[16:48] Jaguar48h: IP problem? [16:48] n8tuser: what i mean is that i cant really tell if its on or off, except for a light which wont turn on, but it makes me think its a driver problem because if it was a power switch, it would work in both win and linux [16:48] tpw_rules_-> okay, now if you do sudo iwlist ath0 scan do you get anything? [16:48] no, its the browser speed [16:49] which browser? [16:49] vegombrei: desktop? My case is laptop. [16:49] Jaguar48h-> perhaps you can disable your flash plugin [16:49] its like my computer have a virus ! [16:49] hi I have added the kubuntu 8.10 cd rom to my repo, but when I run sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop it wants to download it from internet, I want to install kde from cd rom [16:49] n8tuser: 'interface ath0 doesnt support scanning' [16:49] Jaguar48h-> also check your /etc/resolv.conf to make sure the nameserver is correct [16:49] Oneiroii: i got the error... stupid me, i had to stop network manager first [16:49] I use firefox 3.0.4 [16:50] tealson: LOL, ok [16:50] tpw_rules_-> that tells me you dont have a working driver loaded , a driver loaded but non-functional one [16:51] n8tuser: You want the whole thing or just a certain portion of it?

[16:53] Is there some way to prevent the panel menu from being edited after setting it up? e.g. for a guest account [16:53] n8tuser: well, that would leave me with 4 lines of set variables. :) [16:53] Larrxi-> gksu displayconfig-gtk and then modify accordingly [16:54] Jaguar48h-> i doubt it if its the main cause, but it could be anything [16:54] hello. [16:54] paradroid-> post them [16:54] Are there alternative to grub ? [16:54] no [16:54] jamil_1, there's LILO [16:55] i prefer GRUB, though [16:55] How can I install it ? [16:55] I'm having trouble with ubuntu. [16:55] or replace grub ? [16:55] is there some way to get the calendar that pops up when you click the time display to import data from thunderbird's lightning rather than evolution's calendar? [16:55] dunno to be honest, i've never replaced the boot loader [16:55] ok [16:55] have added the kubuntu 8.10 cd rom to my repo, but when I run sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop it wants to download it from internet, I want to install kde from cd rom [16:55] could it be the site it self ? [16:55] jamil_1, you probably don't want to use lilo but you could use some other interface to grub if you want to make things prettier [16:56] n8tuser: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/d51ec1fa0 [16:56] Jaxxon: System-->Administration-->Software Sources ... uncheck everything and check the CD [16:56] is there a way to have more then 4gb of ram on the 32bit version of Ubuntu? [16:56] DaveKing: Grub loads very slowly [16:56] jamil_1, did you ever get ubuntu-desktop installed? [16:56] wish i did know how to change the boot loader; i wanna go from lilo to grub :x [16:56] Hi! what's the command to start ubuntu-mobile on interpid? [16:57] exodus_ms: nope [16:57] NetEcho: is there a way to have more than 4gb of ram on the 32bit version of Windows? does that answer your question? [16:57] n8tuser, gksu displayconfig-gtk does nothing [16:57] Hmm, how do I unmount --bind mounts? [16:57] Myrtti the answer is yes for Windows [16:57] jamil_1, it takes long time for grub to appear or takes a long time to load after you make a selection? [16:57] paradroid-> looks exactly as mine [16:57] NetEcho: oohh, url or it didn't happen [16:57] but I've heard that Ubuntu doesn't have support with 32bit from other people [16:57] hi [16:57] I put my machine (with newly installed ubuntu) on hibernate last night, to find upon boot a prompt for login and password, I obliged, it entered a prompt-mode reminiscent of MS-DOS. [16:57] NetEcho, from what ive seen ubuntu only supports up to 4gb [16:57] Do I need antivirus program for my Ubuntu ? [16:57] NetEcho, but then again i could be wrong [16:57] DaveKing: It takes long time for grub to appear [16:57] Larrxi-> did a window popped up? [16:57] n8tuser: Was afraid you'd say that. :) Stupid noobie question: what is the default chmod of a home dir? [16:57] Myrtti enable Physical Address Extension it's been arround forever before 64bit even existed [16:58] jamil_1, did you get the msg from LjL about sources.list? [16:58] NetEcho: 32 bit windows will boot with 4 Gig, but will at most use 3 [16:58] hi how do i connect my bluetooth headset to ubuntu ? [16:58] Jaguar48h: not unless you serve files to Windows machines with it [16:58] exodus_ms: yes [16:58] Myrtti how else do you supposed old servers pre-64bit had 64gigs of ram? [16:58] paradroid-> drwxr-xr-x [16:58] Yo, I have a problem with booting Linux. Some motherboards with the P35 chipset fail to boot linux with an IRQ_Poll error. Do you guys know of a kernal that does work with my Motherboard [16:58] exodus_ms: But i still have installed GNOME [16:58] Brandano-- it will use 3.5Gb [16:58] NetEcho: and it needs a patch to do even that otherwise it won't boot with more than 2GB [16:58] Brandano I'm aware but I know with Windows you can enable PAE to use more than 4gb of Ram [16:58] how to enable universe in kubuntu? [16:58] what's the command to start ubuntu-mobile on interpid? [16:59] Nope, not to use them [16:59] only to ignore the error at boot [16:59] jamil_1, ok, was just curious if you got things to work. [16:59] Brandano on top of that it reads 3.5 but thats because .5 of that is reserved for the bios [16:59] Is there ny editable file that contains screen resolution preference? I've messed up my resolution and I'm having trouble fixing it with xrandr [16:59] as is with 64bit just the OS reads the physical memory present not the ammount accessable by the OS [16:59] exdus_ms: I followed the link u posted [16:59] when i enter "sudo echo 7 > /proc/acpi/ibm/fan" to change the fan speed of my thinkpad, it returns "permission denied"... even though the owner is root, [16:59] can somebody help me? [17:00] when i enter "sudo echo 7 > /proc/acpi/ibm/fan" to change the fan speed of my thinkpad, it returns "permission denied"... even though the owner is root, can someone help me? [17:00] softwarejonas_: I think it only readsthe speed rather than set it? [17:00] LONGHORNS ftw!!! [17:00] :P [17:00] I'm guessing the Ubuntu kernel was compiled with the memory option set to less than 4gb for 32bit [17:00] Brandano: i am not sure, but i think i remember that it was possible to control speed, too [17:00] softwarejonas_, try su -c 'echo 7 > /proc/acpi/ibm/fan' [17:00] softwarejonas_-> whats the perms of proc/acpi/ibm/fan ? [17:00] using root's password, not your own [17:00] NetEcho: nope, it just can't address more than that [17:01] Nith: I do this, but It doesn't work [17:01] I don't want to have to go back to windows!!! [17:01] Brandano the 2.6 kernel can in 32bit mode it even has an option for it [17:01] anyone here using VMWARE on Intrepid? -- im having issues getting access i browse to https://127.0.0.1:8333 and nothing appears in the browser [17:01] can anyone help? [17:01] which would be PAE [17:01] DaveKing: any help to speed up grub or replacing it with lilo ? [17:01] (or Brandano may be right; i just know how to use root permissions in general, not how to handle /proc) [17:01] jamil_1, take a look at this post http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=254263 [17:01] W8TAH-> are you serving on that port? [17:01] W8TAH: https specifies the port to be used already [17:01] PAE has been available since the Pentium pro [17:01] n8tuser, no window :( [17:01] n8tuser: how do i get them? nautilus says "root: read and write" [17:02] W8TAH: it won't work on anything other than 443 [17:02] is there some way to get the calendar that pops up when you click the time display to import data from thunderbird rather than evolution's calendar? [17:02] Brandano: ok [17:02] "The Linux kernel includes full PAE support starting with version 2.6,[3] enabling access of up to 64 GB of memory on 32-bit machines." [17:02] W8TAH: try http [17:02] Can I get help? I'm having trouble booting off of my HDD to the ubuntu GUI, it just gives me a text prompt right now. [17:02] ceil420: doesnt work [17:02] I have winxp installed on the same hard disk . so, do I need antivirus ander ubuntu ? [17:02] Larrxi-> click on System --> Administration -> Screens and Graphics [17:03] softwarejonas_-> use the command ls -la [17:03] n8tuser, i got nothing like that - they removed it on intrepid === ring0 is now known as Guest567 [17:03] softwarejonas_, maybe you can't write to the file. check it's permissions with n8tuser's command [17:03] Jaxxon: then "cp /etc/apt/sources.list ~/sources.list; gksu gedit /etc/apt/sources.list" uncomment the line that looks like "cdrom: " and comment all others [17:03] NetEcho: the Desktop version doesn't have it enabled but the Server version does [17:04] n8tuser: -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 2008-11-30 12:03 /proc/acpi/ibm/fan [17:04] <_ykram> any recommendations for a usb hybrid dvb-t stick :) [17:04] Larrxi-> if you type display and press tab twice do you get the list of commands starting with display ? [17:04] Nith: I do this too, but it doesn't work [17:04] Khisanth thanks [17:05] Jaguar48h only to protect your windows install .. [17:05] softwarejonas_-> sometimes only a kernel is allowed on those /proc files [17:05] i need some help! im about to give up my project [17:05] Jaxxon: once you've done that, make sure synaptic is closed, do "sudo apt-get update", then open synaptic again [17:05] softwarejonas_-> maybe that is one of those that the kernel would not allow you [17:05] im currently running the ubuntu distro and im trying to set a media center, the problem is my nvidia drivers are not installing correctly, they only display 648X480 [17:06] thank you Jack_Sparrow, and to all whom answered my quistions [17:06] n8tuser: is there any way to tell the kernel to write? [17:06] Kevin_Hampton-> have you tried the liveCd yet? === miguel is now known as Guest43578 [17:06] n8tuser, i get no commands [17:06] i have not === Guest43578 is now known as mblanch [17:06] softwarejonas_-> i dont know, am not a kernel developer [17:06] kServ identify *h3lois@* [17:06] Larrxi-> what exactly you typed? [17:07] jamil_1, Did you get that link? I have trouble seeing what you type because you are not spelling my name right [17:07] hi! how can use CMYK-colors in GIMP? [17:07] n8tuser, display followed by 2 tabs [17:07] where can i find this live cd? i tried the envy app, and its also displaying my monitor as CRT, so its not detecting right. i have not been able to run the command line to edit the xorg, it only gives me keyboard options [17:07] n8tuser: thanx, i think i found a solution. i had to add an option line to modprobe.c [17:07] Nith: when I type sudo apt-get update I see this : http://phpfi.com/383723 [17:07] Huffameg: badly [17:07] softwarejonas_-> cool [17:07] Brandano: how do you mean?

[17:08] Brandano: okay.. what do i do, then? if i have an image in RGB, is it easy to convert it to CMYK in for example photoshop? [17:08] I have read first link [17:09] kevin> not yet, I'm new to Linux [17:09] !questions | niemer05 [17:09] niemer05: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [17:09] ok that is the keystroke to get into GNOME [17:09] Huffameg: yes, but I think GIMP can save CYMK formats too. the problem is that it won't work in CYMK, it will still handle images as RGB [17:09] Jaxxon: it appears you're looking for the utility apt-cdrom; I've never used it myself by i'm guessing "apt-cdrom -d=/mount/cdrom0" (or other cdrom location) [17:09] i put ubuntu on an external hdd, and now whenever i turn on my laptop, i have to have the external hdd plugged in, and tell it where to boot to, how can i fix this? [17:09] n8tuser: OK, after considering several posts on forums, I purged/reinstalled cups* and now manually created the PDF directory. No more complaints so far. Thx for your support. [17:09] Larrxi-> sudo apt-get install displayconfig-gtk [17:09] you will need to edit the init file in order to boot to GNOME permanently [17:10] ^for rugb [17:10] if someone knows how to fix this, pm me please [17:10] paradroid-> great...your persistence paid off [17:10] I have a 2.6.24.7-rt21 kernel, where can I find the patch to apply for apparmor? [17:10] niemer05, you have problem to boot the internal HDD when the external HDD is unplugged? [17:10] kevin> where can I find info on editing said file? [17:10] niemer05: It sounds like you installed the boot loader onto the external HDD [17:11] If you want lilo or GAG see http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=96920 and http://kmandla.wordpress.com/2007/01/19/howto-install-gag-on-a-default-ubuntu-box/ [17:11] Brandano: okay.. so.. if i save it in cmyk and then send it to the publisher, that won't be a problem? [17:11] Huffameg: found this forum post, might be relevant: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=881312 [17:11] nick Buncho [17:11] rugb ==> /etc/init === chris__ is now known as Buncho [17:11] niemer05: Although it sounds like thats the problem, I don't know how to install grub after the installer [17:12] you will have to change the runlevel to something other than command line [17:12] jamil_1, look up a couple comments [17:12] Huffameg: yep, you should be fine. I find it odd that the publisher can't do the conversion himself [17:12] ugh... transitioning off of mirc to xchat has been a bit annoying === AskHL_ is now known as AskHL [17:12] LOL @ mIRC [17:12] The good old days [17:12] jamil_1, I suggest trying to speed up grub before trying a different boot loader [17:13] n8tuser: ok, so what driver do i need to install, or how do i properly install the one i have> [17:13] Brandano: okay.. so it doesn't matter in which format the image is made [17:13] DaveKong: Grub itself takes longer to appear [17:13] Hello all [17:13] hello [17:13] n8tuser, not available, they removed screens and graphics (displayconfig-gtk) on intrepid ibex also known as ubuntu 8.10 [17:14] someone told me to check out the livecd. i can already run ubuntu off the cd, how would this work any better for installing nvidia drivers? [17:14] jamil_1, when did the problem appear? [17:14] DaveKong, I have to see for a long time: GrubLoading stage1.5 [17:14] hey sorry nith, i didnt see your responce [17:14] tpw_rules_-> you have the link on the solution? check the name of the file created after the "make" command , i dont know the name myself.. check before and after the make [17:14] Huffameg: don't know. ask the publisher. Using CYMK will probably give a greater color range [17:14] niemer05: It sounds like you installed the boot loader onto the external HDD [17:14] niemer05: Although it sounds like thats the problem, I don't know how to install grub after the installer [17:14] last things I said ;p [17:14] Kevin_Hampton, you can install nvidia drivers and then ctrl+alt+backspace and the nvidia drivers will be loaded without a restart [17:14] alrighty [17:14] thanks [17:14] n8tuser: but it wont compile any more :( [17:15] DaveKong,: When I messed grub installing Windows(dual boot) [17:15] niemer05: look into installing grub and do it on your non-external... that'll fix your prob === Mustinet_ is now known as Mustinet [17:15] Larrxi-> sudo apt-cache search displayconfig-gtk does not list it? if they have removed it, then i dont know what the replacement is [17:15] how do I get it to always boot into ubuntu? [17:15] when my external is plugged in, i have to tell it where to boot from, but, if its not plugged in, it wont boot at all and gives me an error, 21 i think [17:15] i have tried something like this larrxi, but nvidia returns the option that my kernel needs to be modified and everytime it tries it fails [17:15] would someone be able to help me enable cpu frequency scaling? [17:15] jamil_1, oh... when you switch to dual boot the default times goes to 30 seconds you can shorten that [17:15] tpw_rules_-> why not? what errors are you getting if any? [17:15] jamil_1: Personal experience suggests that, when the option is available, installing Windows before Linux makes multi-booting easier [17:15] oh, that reminds me, how should I go about reinstalling windows on the windows partition of a multiboot setup? [17:16] INSTALL WINDOS FIRST Brando [17:16] Kevin_Hampton: reinstall [17:16] DaveKong,: Yes I did that but my windows became corrupt [17:16] You should reintall Windows, then use tehe live cd to do a grub fix [17:16] Kevin_Hampton: means it's already there [17:16] n8tuser: im getting this: "make: *** /lib/modules/2.6.27-9-generic/build: No such file or directory. Stop. make: *** [modules] Error 2" [17:16] RugB: in /boot/grub/menu.lst there is a line "default 0" change 0 to whatever your ubuntu is [17:16] Brandano: great. thanks [17:16] alex_21: makes sense, windows should already be on the primary [17:17] RugB: numbering starts at 0 and goes up per line that you would see... atleast thats how I interpret it [17:17] meh. [17:17] Nith: how do I find where that is? [17:17] My computer keeps on crashing. [17:17] As in: Even Alt+SysRq+B not working [17:17] Larrxi have tried something like this, but nvidia returns the option that my kernel needs to be modified and everytime it tries it fails [17:17] jamil_1, did you install windows first then add ubuntu? [17:17] can i image a windows partition from ubuntu, save the image in ubuntu, reformat the windows partition as primary instead of logical, place the image back into the windows partition, replace the windows bootloader, add windows to grub, and have a perfectly fine dual boot system once again? [17:17] lspci lists my video graphics adapter as a "Intel Corporation 82Q35 Express Integrated Graphics Controller".. i have some problems with graphics and refresh rates.. watching video in full screen isn't working properly.. which module should i be using for this card? [17:18] this is kinda annoying i forgot to do the umounting of a usb disk and the dumb icon still shows up on my desktop is there a way i can remove this without rebooting? [17:18] RugB: I have an hunch it might be in /boot/grub [17:18] Kevin_Hampton, ive never got anyhing like that when installing the ubuntu nvidia packages [17:18] hi ..i recently updated my ubuntu to 8.10 ... tried burning a dvd and it says it doesnt support dvd-r anymore .. please help .. [17:18] RugB: keep scrolling down in that list until you see the bunch of "title, root, kernal" things. Each "title" denotes the os [17:18] Last time, someone else in here had the same problem, (s)he advised me to install the server-kernel and so I did, but as it seems no, it brings me no luck.

[17:38] Pentarex: last i checked they hava a .deb installer for you [17:38] alex_21: The best thing I can do for you is go to options together.

[17:38] can anyone explain why an app wouldn't be accepting switches on startup [17:38] ert3: but there is a problem libq4t is missing or something [17:38] ' [17:38] Pentarex: then open synaptic and look for libq4t [17:38] Jaxxon, please note, I have google repos in there too.

If only it worked like Voiceover [17:40] can anyone explain why an app wouldn't be accepting switches on startup [17:40] Pentarex: generally you can install software using synaptic much easier than installing from sites. Skype isn't there because it's not open source. when installing packages manually, you have to find missing libss and the like... synaptic is the best way to go [17:40] following the help.ubuntu.com site tutorial i tried 'sudo apt-get install openjdk-6-jdk' - but i just get "E: Couldn't find package openjdk-6-jdk"?

[17:42] n8tuser: ok tried from step one and still failed. even reinstalled the build-essential package, but still stops at the missing directory. i tried creating the directory, but it complained that [17:42] alex_21: Yes well, with me that makes it speak out the command I type. [17:42] Does anyone have any experience with Oracle 11g on Hardy ? [17:43] Nith, sorry could you expand on that? [17:43] alex_21: It might be worth a try.

[17:44] tpw_rules_-> and i have already told you, am not familiar with the Makefile of that package [17:44] Edward123: yes, System-->Administration-->Software Sources lets you add/remove the default repos. You need to check the "universe" repo [17:44] tpw_rules_-> i also asked you to find out the name of the driver module..yes? [17:44] Edward123: once you've done that, your sources list will refresh and you can find that package [17:44] hello [17:44] I need help [17:44] :( [17:44] Nith, right ok, thanks, i'll give that a try [17:45] Nith: what should i do m8 [17:45] Vomgrei I don't know. I just thought it may be worth a try [17:45] Mi50: just tell it ;p [17:45] Nith... actually i'm pretty sure i have universe checked. i added it to sources.list [17:45] tpw_rules_-> so you have to dig into the Makefile to find out what target is missing [17:45] Imme-emosol It speaks it aftertyping, but I want to go back and check it afterwards [17:45] suspend and hibernate don't work well when i resume either one on ubuntu 8.10. can any one help?

[17:53] Edward123: the way I understand it, sun-java6-bin is the same as the one you get from java.sun.com which is the one on windows. I think it's in multiverse because the JVM is not open source [17:53] vegombrei, what about popping in the dvd first [17:53] Edward123: but thats a guess more than anything else [17:53] bazhang: Please replace the disc in the drive with a supported disc with at least 4.4 GiB free.

Then I would advise ssh as it's the easiest. You have to install openssh-server on the machine you want access to.

My machine is running Zimbra and a pache. On eth1 and dhcpd and ltsp on eth0. Now they are both now connected to the same LAN, and I gave eth1 a static IP. eth0 already had a static IP.

[19:36] Anyone remembers the command to show which resolutions your dvi-monitor can handle? [19:36] alex_21: default route defined, what is behind eth0, how about eth1 [19:37] simplexio-> are you good with using iptables? are all packets passing through PREROUTING in, out or forward? [19:38] n8tuser: nope, i dont use iptables [19:38] hiya. looking to make a new server config. question: is there a way to find out all of the packages previously installed via apt-get?

[19:40] simplexio-> what do you bridge? between which? [19:40] * fword gives n8tuser a high-five. that eases a concern big time. your next beer is on the house. a coupon will drop from the sky.

[19:41] n8tuser: if meat went through modems you'd be swimming in it :O [19:42] I am no good with rooting [19:43] simplexio-> you basically wasted the server? bridging two ports so you can have the desktop have an ip address? [19:43] hi === evgeni is now known as dj_ee3 [19:43] someone want to help me reinstall linux?

I get a permissions error on the ssh terminal, and a connection closed error locally. Any Help? [19:45] simplexio-> okay, am just curious on how people utilize their bridges.. [19:46] \Kira: why do you need both vnc and ssh? [19:46] A|1 you can try installing a new one with debootstrap, for kick want to try it?

[19:46] Al1-> stay with hardy [19:46] Al1: keep with hardy [19:46] <\Kira> endoubt: Well, someone gave me those commands, but I think im encrypting the connection. Im not really sure :( [19:46] k [19:47] n8tuser: i had idea put there squid, iptables, etc etc, but im laxy and i dont need them [19:47] n8tuser: let me finish backing up files first [19:47] \Kira: well, start with getting it working without encryption [19:47] <\Kira> endoubt: How could I do that? [19:47] \Kira: what OS is on the host box? [19:47] around 10 minutes [19:47] Al1-> and after that, create another partition, for a new install [19:47] <\Kira> endoubt: on the machine Im trying to connect to, ubuntu server 8.04, on the remote machine, kubuntu 8.04 [19:48] i'm trying to upload some photos to a website which only supports the native 'windows publishing' for mass-upload of photos.

[19:49] \Kira: have you started the VNC server already on the headless server? [19:49] zigovr3: just edit it. update adds new kernels in own menuitem [19:49] <\Kira> endoubt: I think so, I installed a package called vinc, or something [19:49] zigovr3-> always make a copy of your menu.lst before you do those upgrades [19:49] jai toujours mon probleme de chown avec kde [19:49] zigovr3, add/remove the proper bootoptions from the line with #kopt. Update-grub then adds it to all new kernels [19:50] \Kira: alright, you can try to go Main Menu > Internet > Remote Desktop Viewer on the guest machine [19:50] n8tuser: here's the network command outputs: http://paste.ubuntu.com/78405/ [19:50] !fr jnih2 [19:50] Sorry, I don't know anything about fr jnih2 [19:50] wdh: aaah many thanks, I didn't see these #kopts lines :) [19:50] <\Kira> endoubt: okay, do I run the ssh command, aswell?

[19:51] so [19:51] apparently [19:51] caaakeeey: nvidia driver is right one [19:51] n8tuser: i can connect to my wireless network, but no internet [19:51] ubunut only works with one of my monitors [19:52] >.< [19:52] reikon-> dont need to use those words.. [19:52] zigovr3, remember that these options are not added to existent kernels until you run 'update-grub' [19:52] n8tuser: not even internal stuff (like accessing the AP config pages) [19:52] <\Kira> endoubt: it brings up a prompt for remote desktop, wich I dont know what to enter [19:52] caaakeeey: you need to run nvidia-settings [19:52] wdh: yes, I see , it's very good [19:52] \Kira: what's the IP of the server? [19:52] I have a desperate network problem I must fix. Here is what I get from /tc/init.d/networking restart * reconfiguring network interfaces... rtnetlink no such process. What can I do about it I have two network cards on one machine. My machine is running Zimbra and a pache. On eth1 and dhcpd and ltsp on eth0.

[19:52] both work with my other pc [19:52] \Kira: so type that in [19:52] >.< [19:52] hey can lm-sensors work with an atom [19:52] Hello. I have lenovo 3000 n200, how can I know will ubuntu work on it? [19:53] \Kira: leave the port like it is === uhhhhh is now known as BMWracer0 [19:53] abarbaccia-> how many gateways are you using? having many nics on same lan, which route do you think your packet will take to get to destination? eth0? eth1? ath0? [19:53] habit, the easiest way is to just try the live-cd [19:53] habit: google it, but linux is usually friendly with IBM/Lenovo [19:53] <\Kira> endoubt: I think I have a different program then you are thinking of, entering the IP makes the connect button stay grayed and I cant click it [19:53] Hello... I have problem. I run Ibex Ubuntu. Few hours ago I have installed VLK player. From now on all movies are blue... [19:53] I am trying to boot the 9.04 daily release Xubuntu PS3 build on my PS3, and it is just hanging there. No lights flickering. I got to the kboot line and pressed enter, then it powered off my USB devices and my display is gone. [19:54] alex_21-> okay, then do not have two interface cards on same lan, disable either eth0 or eth1 only have one at a time [19:54] n8tuser: ignore all the others, they're disabled while i test. only ath0. right now i needed to run a wire to do some debug and get online [19:54] <\Kira> endoubt: If I go to the examples it says I have to enter a machine name and a :1 [19:54] endoubt, @ google some people says smth like "horrible", smth tells "perfect". Is there a sort of list supported notebooks? [19:54] <\Kira> endoubt: the example was "megan:1" [19:54] abarbaccia-> i can not ignore them, or you are pasting us a bogus information [19:54] habit I have a similar problem I am trying to get ubuntu to connect to att with my built in wlan,, running thinkpad lenovo t500 [19:55] \Kira: use just the IP and leave the port alone, type exactly "192.168.1.100" and make sure the window says "Remote Desktop Viewer" at the top [19:55] abarbaccia-> so give us a clean accurate information or else you'll get garbage [19:55] habit: like they said, try it with the Live CD first [19:55] n8tuser: don't ignore then, just know that they are usually disconnected and not enabled. i enabled one of them so i can get online right now and debug [19:55] hey jamie [19:55] abarbaccia-> not per what you pasted, so provide only good info [19:55] Any ideas why gconf-editor is saving my prefs, but not quite loading them when I go to change them? [19:55] The bluez-audio package is obsolete? what should I use instead to have the audio service? [19:56] <\Kira> endoubt: well, the program has "remote desktop connection - krdc" at the top, and I am entering just the IP [19:56] caaakee/last abarbaccia [19:56] hi guys... i have a very dumb question... i have a new laptop and it has intel core duo. Should i download ubuntu for 64bit comp or regular, 32? [19:56] last abarbaccia [19:56] \Kira: oh, let me see what it is for KDE, forgot you were on Kubuntu [19:56] <\Kira> endoubt: Im running kde, if you didnt see that from my OS I told you earlier [19:56] hmm? [19:56] <\Kira> endoubt: :D [19:56] !fishing > test34 [19:56] test34, please see my private message [19:56] lol [19:56] n8tuser: i dont understand. this is the same config i've always used. ubuntu updated and i rebooted now it does not work. i plugged in a wire to my AP so i can get online [19:56] tadej_: 32bit if you dont have more than 4G ram, it works with 64bit too [19:56] tadej_ probably 32 [19:57] caaakeeey: you tried nvidia-settings command ? [19:57] <\Kira> !fishing [19:57] Please investigate with me only with "/msg ubottu Bot" or in #ubuntu-bots. Search for factoids with "/msg ubottu !search factoid". [19:57] simplexio i have exactly 4gb of ram. should i try 64? [19:57] abarbaccia-> until you provide accurate info, i can not really help you, dont make me guess, i usually guess wrong [19:57] ty, seems like it doesn't find anything for bluez-audio [19:57] I am trying to boot the 9.04 daily release Xubuntu PS3 build on my PS3, and it is just hanging there. No lights flickering. I got to the kboot line and pressed enter, then it powered off my USB devices and my display is gone. Can anyone lend advice? [19:58] any acpi gurus here? [19:58] it doesnt detect my other monitor [19:58] tadej_: i think that 32bit is still ok. im 95% sure about it [19:58] Any ideas why gconf-editor isnt loading the keybinding prefs, but metacity is [19:58] Jophish: no [19:58] ok [19:58] thanks [19:58] simplexio: ok great. thanks [19:58] n8tuser: how is this not accurate - its the exact output of what you told me to run. [19:58] simplexio, yeah, they're forwards compatible [19:58] Jophish: but you can try ask first maybe someone knows something [19:58] ok [19:58] n8tuser: if you need more information about my setup i can tell you === Mustinet is now known as Mustinet`glck [19:59] abarbaccia-> it is not accurate when you are telling me some are not active, disabled, get an accurate info [19:59] would anybody be able to help me getting brightness controls working on my laptop [19:59] \Kira: ok, try this type "vnc:/192.168.1.100" [19:59] <\Kira> endoubt: Connection failed. No server running at the given address and port. [19:59] ubuntu can see the data card it just can't make the connection to att. I talked to att and they told me some of the settings in the mobile broadband needed to be changed like WAP should be CIN and so fourth. Made all the changes and still can't connect. I feel it's just some simple setting I am missing in the mobile broadband settings === samurai_spud is now known as spudnix [19:59] the one it doesnt detect has an analog input thing while the one it does detect has a digital connection, would that make a difference [20:00] <\Kira> endoubt: If I nmap my server, it has no port open for vnc [20:00] \Kira: you need to get a head on that server and make sure it's running the vnc server [20:00] n8tuser: there are two wired cards (eth0 and eth1) and one wireless card (ath0). I use the wireless card to connect to the internet and the wired cards are disconnected. Currently, for debug only, I have connected a wire to eth0 so I can get online and hoepfully debug / fix this problem [20:00] Jophish: what laptop [20:00] n8tuser: when i plug in a wire, i do not change any of the settings, it just flips over to using that instead of using the wireless. [20:01] Anyone try crunchbang linux based on ubuntu's latest release? [20:01] <\Kira> endoubt: mabye I mistyped the package name, and didnt see if there was any errors? When I installed the vnc pakcage, I installed it along with a bunch of GUI packages. [20:01] abarbaccia-> that is confusing, wired card are disconnected and also your eth0 is connected? come on.. [20:01] <\Kira> endoubt: what would you recommend installing? Because I currently dont have a head to put on the server [20:01] \Kira: there's one built into ubuntu [20:01] simplexio: a Samsung q310 [20:01] <\Kira> endoubt: how could I run it? [20:01] it has acpi problems [20:01] \Kira: can you ssh into the server? [20:02] n8tuser: usually there are wired cards do not have a wire plugged into them. for debug only i plugged a wire into one of them so i can get online. [20:02] <\Kira> endoubt: I have access the the machines command line, by ssh [20:02] abarbaccia: when eth0 is disconnected how do you connect to the internet if you plug a wire into it [20:02] abarbaccia-> i have advised you -- only use one interface on same lan at a time, unless you are very familiar with routing [20:02] serveri/server./server irc.undernet.org [20:02] arf [20:02] abarbaccia-> how many gateways are you using? having many nics on same lan, which route do you think your packet will take to get to destination? eth0? eth1? ath0? <-- answer this [20:02] <\Kira> endoubt: I also have sudo rights on the server [20:03] n8tuser: i usually do. i usually only use ath0 (wireless). Now wireless stopped working. To answer your question - when i make changes and test (unplug the wire) it would have to take ath0 because there is no connection for eth0 and eth1 [20:03] \Kira, what do you want to do anyway? =) [20:04] witam [20:04] mam problem z ustawieniem radiówki pod ubuntu [20:04] n8tuser: ath0 pulls an IP from the AP successfully. When i try to ping or get on the internet it cannot resolve. [20:04] <\Kira> Fougner: vnc into my machine, my network is pretty sercure, and I wouldnt be doing it much, so Im not that worried about security, but Im in a little over my head and the person who originally helped me hasnt been online in a bit [20:04] abarbaccia-> how can you be so sure some packets are not going the other gateways? as they show them being active ? [20:04] Does anybody know which irc channel I should join to find out how to change the importance of a bug? [20:04] hi where can i change the x settings for gdm or kdm [20:04] ? [20:04] abarbaccia-> sorry cant help you if you keep on insisting your way [20:04] \Kira: here's a guide for your exact situation http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-266981.html [20:04] * endoubt is out for a smoke [20:05] n8tuser: i don't know for sure. things got a little confusing since netapplet [20:05] \Kira, aha, why vnc into a server? a server is supposed to run CLI only ;) [20:05] <\Kira> endoubt: sweet, ill look into that, thanks [20:05] abarbaccia-> thats the point, you dont know, so you either you listen to my advise or do it your way and suffer.. [20:05] Well, with my netwrok problem what can I do. I can't connect and get the error I mentioned above my config is http://paste.ubuntu.com/78406/ [20:05] I have scanned pages in tiff and pdf format they are 4.2 MB, how can I compress them to 3 MB. ? [20:05] n8tuser: suffer... haha - then lets start going with the advice part [20:05] <\Kira> Fougner: CLI? I have had a increadible ammount of difficultly setting up certian things remotely, like CUPS and such (wich are made to be set up locally and need a GUI to do that) [20:06] Jophish: http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=100494&page=9 [20:06] \Kira: try webmin [20:06] abarbaccia-> okay, 1st disable those interfaces that are not active and then do a sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart [20:06] <\Kira> jony_kalavera: I've heard of that before, no clue what it is [20:06] Jophish: something like 5 or 7 post there explains how [20:06] abarbaccia-> and then paste the same info i requested earlier, from those same commands [20:06] \Kira: its a web interface. let's you manage all sorts of things CUPS for instance [20:07] \Kira: http://www.webmin.com/ [20:07] <\Kira> jony_kalavera: Cool, ill look into that, thanks [20:07] Could somebody help me out with my keybindings in gconf-editor? They're still active, but they're not showing up [20:07] abarbaccia-> and dont make your response too long of a delay, i forget things easily, [20:07] Hey, I really must get this thing online again. It is a production server [20:07] \Kira: do you want to run a vnc server on a server, where an x session is already running? [20:08] alex_21-> okay, then do not have two interface cards on same lan, disable either eth0 or eth1 only have one at a time <-- you have done this ? [20:08] yeah === samokk__ is now known as samokk [20:08] Here is my config http://paste.ubuntu.com/78406/ [20:08] <\Kira> oskar-: yes, but I think ive figured it out now, thanks anyways [20:08] alex_21-> you and abarbaccia are in same boat [20:08] I'm just going to test that now simplexio [20:08] thanks [20:08] Jophish: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/95444 even more stuff about it. maybe helps maybe not [20:08] \Kira: ok then ;) i do this sometimes and know a solutions ;) === sky is now known as Guest61268 [20:08] -s [20:09] n*tuser I thought I already did do that [20:09] Look at my config please: http://paste.ubuntu.com/78406/ [20:09] so about the xorg setting for gdm. where can i change that? [20:09] \Kira: cups will let you set it up by remote access through a browser [20:09] i get an oversized display that doesnt fit my screen [20:09] jony_kalavera: can you be more precise about what you want to change? [20:10] <\Kira> endoubt: I've tried with that, and so far it hasnt worked... [20:10] alex_21-> paste the results of ifconfig; iwconfig; route -n and cat /etc/resolv.conf [20:10] oskar-: i updated from 8.04 to 8.10 and my gdm login screen apears in a resolution too big for my screen [20:10] can't mount my crypt root partition (on a raid0 md device) from initframfs ..... any ideas? [20:10] \Kira: but I love WebMin :-) [20:10] alex_21: looks right [20:11] what is /usr/bin/open used for? it is symlinked to /usr/bin/openvt here. [20:11] Holy!! that script worked! thanks simplexio! your my hero [20:11] <\Kira> endoubt: Im loooking in to it, it seems useful with how much ive heard about it [20:12] \Kira: in can be buggy at times but it generally gets the job done for my purposes, makes it easy to mess around with mysql databases, apache, etc. but I've had mixed results with samba, my samba is so screwy though that I try not to mess with it too much, it works and I don't have the time to try and perfect it [20:13] jony_kalavera: i would try setting HorizSync and VertRefresh in the monitor section of the /etc/X11/xorg.conf to reasonable value ranges. make a backup copy of that file, and read the paragraphs for both the options in the man page of xorg.conf [20:13] Jophish: little lover in that thread is talking about nvclock wich seesms to be "better" but potentialy dangerous fix [20:13] ah [20:13] <\Kira> endoubt: I hate samba, I got it to work, and then it just stopped working the next day, I couldnt figure out what changed :(. Oh well, Im putting linux on the windows machine anyways, now :) [20:13] I think I'm goin to stick with that small script, as it seems to work ok [20:13] What is the command to list what groups you have available on your ubuntu build? [20:14] presumably I can change the "10" in it to any number 0-100 [20:14] now, how would I make a script, so I would say brightness 10 [20:14] or brightness 20 [20:14] how do i turn acpi off? [20:14] hi, why is there no ekiga 3.0 package available? am i missing a repository or something?

[20:19] caaakeeey: also wrong resolution? [20:19] hi [20:19] n8tuser: He means as in: cannot see. [20:19] N8tuser, Blind, cant see, visually impaired person, VIP, etc [20:19] n8tuser: A few hours before he was asking about orca.

[20:20] caaakeeey: i would try setting HorizSync and VertRefresh in the monitor section of the /etc/X11/xorg.conf to reasonable value ranges. make a backup copy of that file, and read the paragraphs for both the options in the man page of xorg.conf. please give a feedback, if that helped [20:20] alex_21: so orca relays everything in this chat room audibly to you? [20:20] ciao [20:20] alex_21-> you can not see, just curious how are you seing what i typed? [20:20] caaakeeey: can you get the proper resolution with a different monitor and the same video card? [20:20] yup [20:20] are there ekiga 3.0 packages available? is there a plan to support it soon? [20:20] tried with 2 different monitors [20:20] how can i enter emerald settings [20:20] hi [20:20] so its definitely the monitor ubuntu combo [20:20] I am on a Mac using Voiceover for all of you who are currious [20:20] where is JVM? installer asked me to enter the path [20:21] n8tuser: im all backed up === aima_ is now known as aimaz [20:21] oskar: ill try that [20:21] how do i watch video in firefox? for instance, the apple trailers site [20:21] assem: To the latter question, I believe 3.0 will likely be in 9.04.

[20:22] Roland123, [20:22] alex_21-> alright, per what you pasted, you have two nic cards that are on the same lan, you have to disable one of them and do a /etc/init.d/networking restart to fix your route table that has two gateway entries [20:22] assem: It's quite possible that someone has it in the meantime, although I don't know off the top of my head. Lemme look around for a bit. [20:22] Roland123: in the file /etc/cpuinfo [20:22] Roland123: in the file /proc/cpuinfo [20:22] sorry ;) [20:22] kusanagi_: most of the time all your disks are mounted there so it's a good idea to leave it if you want to search all the disks [20:22] Roland123, on your panel you can add a CPU monitor or just go to settings [20:22] Well, it is manageable, and I do have a very, very little site. Imme-emosol I forgot about the American Styl "Visually Challenged" [20:22] Al1-> you ready for that debootstrap install? you have a new partition right?

[20:23] kusanagi_: oh ok, yea, then take it out [20:23] :) [20:23] thanks endoubt [20:23] kusanagi_: I've always wondered how to get locate to search all the disks, I never looked into it much though [20:23] oskar [20:23] alex_21-> you follow what am saying right? having two gateways, it confuses your system as to which gateway it will take [20:23] kusanagi_: just learned to use "find" [20:23] alex_21: lol [20:23] yes? [20:23] n8tuser I don't know how to disable one of them, can you explai?

[20:25] there is, its just like 15 lines long [20:26] I get the respone eth1 not configured when I run ifdown eth1 [20:26] imme-emosol: that's what i'm saying... there are no packages like totem-{gstreamer,xine}-firefox-plugin [20:26] is apm installed by default?

[20:27] alex_21-> paste the results of ifconfig -a [20:27] n8tuser: i have Gnome partition editor how do i use it to create a new partition... [20:27] totem-mozilla is installed, but i still can't view video in firefox [20:27] jerbear: apt-cache search firefox plugin totem gives me: totem-mozilla - Totem Mozilla plugin [20:27] jerbear: ghehe, beat me. :P [20:27] Anybody know what the command for OO.o systray quickstarter is? [20:28] Al1-> you have unused partition ? use that or you may have to resize and reduce an existing partition to accomodate a new install [20:28] jerbear, if you don't have the codecs it won't play either. Type about:plugins in firefox and see if you see it. [20:28] diffred: make a backup of the parts, that were difficult... then you may want to try it [20:28] Al1-> you have unused partition ? use that or you may have to resize and reduce an existing partition to create a new one [20:28] jerbear, I used mozilla-mplayer anyway. I just install that. [20:28] Hikefu: what plugins are required to view quicktime? [20:29] oskar-: the parts that were difficult were to set up correct disk partitions in order not to mess up the bootloader, can't make a backup of that heh [20:29] jerbear, if you install vlc, it installs all the plugins you need i think. other programs use them. [20:29] n8tuser: i have 5 partitions how to check if they are unused? [20:29] Here: http://paste.ubuntu.com/78419/ n8tuser [20:29] n8tuser: nvm [20:29] Al1-> also type which debootstrap if its installed it will tell you - you have it -- if not, sudo apt-get install debootstrap [20:29] assem: All right, here we go. https://edge.launchpad.net/~sevmek/+archive has builds for gutsy and hardy. You can use the source package from that to build it for Intrepid. === Mustinet`glck is now known as Mustinet [20:29] jerbear, I use vlc for the plugins, then install mozilla-mplayer for firefox. Never have an issue, apart from sometimes configuring the right video output which can be done from firefox. [20:30] i don't understand why people love vlc. every time i've used it, it's never impressed me [20:30] Hikefu: I don't think vlc installs codecs globally, my totem still can't play anything :-) [20:30] tonyyarusso, great, thanks so much. [20:30] I love VLC [20:30] hello, i have a big problem... i'm new in linux and i made a mistake, i had change the permisions for /tmp directory and now my os (ubuntu 8.10) doesn't start anymore [20:30] endo602, then w32codecs from medibuntu? [20:30] n8tuser: k [20:30] endoubt: what the heck is so great about it? i'm not trolling.. i genuinely want to know [20:31] How can I determine if my distribution of ubuntu is 32 or 64 bit? === John is now known as John101 [20:31] is there any posibility to restore the default permisions ? [20:31] marius: a) it's possible you can still boot in recovery mode and fix them. If not you'll need to use a live CD, mount the partition, and then fix it from there. [20:31] Use a live cd and change them back [20:31] awmcclain, uname -a [20:31] jerbear: it plays anything without isntalling codecs, it plays shoutcast, dvds, can stream music through the network, light footprint, the list goes on and on [20:31] n8tuser: k i have [20:31] alex_21-> thats odd, you issued sudo ifdown eth1 and it tells you interface eth1 not configured.. do it again please [20:31] marius: can you boot recovery mode, or live cd chmod 1777 /tmp/ [20:31] Hello all, how do I connect from an XP machine to an Ubuntu without making any "hard" modifications to the Ubuntu? [20:31] hikefu, they might be included in ubuntu-restricted-extras. I just install those, vlc, mozilla-mplayer, etc., and i have everything i need. [20:31] diffred: a upgrade to 8.10 should not change anything in the partition table, but only inside the used filesystems and maybe the boot sector or mbr (like it does, when upgrading only grub, for example) [20:31] Al1-> how much space did you have for your new partition? [20:32] * Mariele hello everybody [20:32] Ok. Right now I hate Ubuntu. What dark magic do I have to perform to be able to convert videos to a format that my iPod can use? I've found the script mp4ize (I want a commandline solution) but that doesn't work since Ffmpeg doesn't support xvid... [20:32] Trying to help a friend who is somehow a "newb" to linux :D [20:32] n8tuser: i havent managed to create it yet but i have plenty of space [20:32] endoubt: last time i used it... i tried to fullscreen it, and it covered both of my monitors. that's just plain wrong [20:32] marius: do recursive if you changed it that way. [20:32] n8tuser Same thing "not configured" [20:32] Al1-> well create it, we need to get going, [20:32] n8tuser: 36 gigs [20:32] using Feisty, in the gui I've tried clicking "Desktop Effects" and I get the error message "The Composite extension is not available". I'm curious about this because I believe I've accessed that program before to set my screensaver. And no I don't know what I've done since then to my computer except remove some synaptic packages, which if that's the case which package am I missing? [20:33] alex_21-> and if you do sudo ifdown eth0 ? [20:33] jerbear: it might have a setting somewhere, but I don't have much ubuntu dual head experience, Just recently got two flat panels [20:33] assem: Hrm. Just seems to spew out what, the kernel version? Does i686 arch mean that it's 64bit?

[21:24] tatyawinchu: look in system - preferences - default sound card. i'm on hardy by the way. i can name the package that provides that, also look for 'sound' in the menu also. [21:25] Hi there, I have 2 machines running gnome. One has a menu applet called Slab (which is great) and the other does not. Searching the package repos hasn't turned up any clue as to which package contains Slab. Any ideas? [21:25] is there any command that'll let you open up the gnome browser with super user privelages? [21:25] !find slab [21:25] Found: libslab-dev, libslab0 [21:25] I have an issue.. my power flickered and when my pc rebooted my screen res is only 800x600...i tried going to recovery mode in grub and tryed to fix xserver "ubuntu 8.10" can anyone help? [21:25] hi, how to beautify fonts of blackbox desktop environment [21:25] i' ve done this command and now i should restart my computer? [21:25] Al1-> go ahead and boot from the dvd [21:26] gnutron ok .. wierd .. i played around there a bit and now it seems like its working [21:26] okidoki, you may want to check the blackbox homepage on how to manually alter its configs.. or tweak the themes. Not a lot of blackbox users in here. ;) [21:26] gnutron: thanks [21:26] tatyawinchu: asoundconf-gtk is the program name. [21:26] bye [21:26] dr_willis: thanks, seems my other machine has that package as well. It's not showing up in the applets list though, any ideas on that? [21:26] ryushe -> "apt-cache search Slab" turns up a few [21:26] ryushe, ive never heard of it.. :) [21:26] tatyawinchu: sweet, sound often takes tweaking to work right. [21:26] ptchemist-> so you are using the second router as a hub? [21:26] Has anyone had trouble logging onto bugs.kde.org? [21:27] it's basically a nicer app launcher replacement [21:27] thanks though [21:27] I think the database at bugs.kde.org is down. [21:27] oskar-: ok, i sent it to u [21:27] I have an issue.. my power flickered and when my pc rebooted my screen res is only 800x600...i tried going to recovery mode in grub and tried to fix xserver "ubuntu 8.10" that didn't correct it..can anyone help? [21:27] ptchemist-> and give me some host name and ip addy so its easier to follow through [21:27] alex_21-> i pasted to you in private, [21:28] n8tuser -> yes I am. First router has 4 ports that are usable, so one has box one on it, one has another computer on it, third connects to second linksys on a piggyback type configuration. Then three more computers off second linksys [21:28] n8tuser -> here they come... [21:28] Guest98130: you connect to two different access points. is that intended? [21:28] gnutron: yeah may be i tried to start testing things too soon .. should have given more time for the system to fully boot up i guess =/ ,. i just waited for the dvd rom and hard disk access light to stay down ! [21:28] Hi guys, where can I get linux-source-2.6.27-10 from? Thanks [21:28] dr_willis: i will study on this again and again [21:28] yes,so? [21:29] anyways.. thanks a loads =) .. i like this ubuntu thing already [21:29] oskar-: what's your point? [21:29] ptchemist-> which host can not connect using hostname? and what is their ip addy? [21:29] how do i get around the message "the following packages will be kept back" when i do an apt-get upgrade? [21:29] tatyawinchu: when 'nix starts, its busy with many things, always give it some times. [21:29] hvgotcodes: try dist-upgrade instead [21:29] gnutron: will remember that .. just a quick Q though , if i install it on HD, the bootup would be much faster right ? [21:30] Any netvista 2200 users here, just curriousity [21:30] tatyawinchu: it certainly should be yes. [21:30] n8tuser: ok that did absolutely nothing... [21:30] Guest98130: in both cases your connections seems ok. i would check the configuration of the access point, that provides wpa access, if it has itself a default route and can access internet [21:30] gnutron: thanks .. cya .. keep up the awsome work =) [21:30] I have linux-source package installed but it didn't put a source tarball or folder in /usr/src, I need it so that I can get my tv tuner working? linux-source-2.6.27-10 is what i need? [21:30] Al1-> you can not boot from the dvd? [21:30] n8tuser: the cd is for windows users...

[21:31] Al1-> huh? i dont think so, [21:31] n8tuser: well its got a .exe extension [21:31] n8tuser -> modem (IP: forgot) connects to 4-port 10/100 Linksys router (IP: 192.168.1.1).

[21:31] Numbers: are you sure you need to full source? modules often only require the headers [21:31] snuitje: upgrade the kernel via dist-upgrade [21:31] hvgotcodes: sure it is [21:31] I have an issue.. my power flickered and when my pc rebooted my screen res is only 800x600...i tried going to recovery mode in grub and tried to fix xserver "ubuntu 8.10" that didn't correct it..can anyone help? [21:32] Al1-> i dont know, i thought one can boot from dvd but apparently per you.. it can not [21:32] n8tuser: i totally finished the method 1 and it all installed properly, but im still not getting any wireless networks listed [21:32] snuitje: ok thanx. its wierd sometimes it has no trouble upgrading kernel with just upgrade [21:32] hvgotcodes: what does it want to remove [21:32] zsquareplusc, it's for v4l.. it's telling me to ln -s /usr/src/linux-source-2.6.20 /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/source.. [21:32] n8tuser: its got 3 options [21:32] zsquareplusc, but replacing 2.6.20 with the source I need [21:32] snuitje: nothing [21:32] n8tuser: reboot now, manually reboot later, help me boot from the cd [21:33] n8tuser: 2 ddnt do anything for me [21:33] hvgotcodes: np then [21:33] How can I rebuild my fstab?

Want to do remote admin with webmin hence the https [21:33] snuitje: very good thanx [21:33] n8tuser: and manually later just downloaded updates [21:33] hi [21:33] tpw_rules-> oh well, they did say atheros is problematic on 8.10 [21:33] oskar-: can u tell me why it shows connected? if i can't use my internet [21:33] Here [21:33] has somebody problems with pulseaudio on intrepid here ?

[21:34] ok [21:34] tpw_rules-> yep, am overwhelmed at the moment [21:34] one sec [21:35] gnutron: I want it to only allow https which is does, but only if using IP address [21:35] Guest98130: i think, it is connected. can you ping 192.168.1.1 in both cases? maybe it's the dns name resolution... please check (and if you want pastebin) /etc/resolv.conf in both cases [21:35] hi all, how can I scroll back the logs in the boot console ?

[21:37] ptchemist-> the xp has to either use resolv.conf or the hosts file [21:37] zigovr3: After you're up you can do: dmesg|less to see all that stuff [21:37] my question is, are these message logged somewhere in /var/log ? I didn't find them [21:37] chad_: ok, only lo is ok. then i have no idea for you [21:37] Guest98130: yes, that should be always possible [21:38] zsquareplusc, thnx anyway [21:38] genii: no, dmsg only show kernel messages, but it's the messages from the boot init script I'm looking for [21:38] Al1-> i lost you? you are booted off the dvd and chatting from it right?

[21:44] Casperov: what audio chip does it have [21:44] ptchemist-> if you are using static ip address, then you are not configuring them with the correct nameserver or the nameserver you are pointing to is not resolving hostnames [21:44] !hostname | oskar- [21:44] oskar-: Use hostname to set the hostname, or to do it permanently: edit /etc/hostname and /etc/hosts .

[21:45] simplexio-> except that it has a metric of 100 [21:46] snuitje: it's ssh access [21:46] alex_21: sorry. route -n wasnt default output so i got little confused [21:46] brantlymedders: can't help you there.

On all of the sound preference dialogues I have tried, I can get sound to play using my default sound, when I put the settings to "autodetect" and use the sound test facilities. But I can't get music from either totem or rhythmbox. What's going on? [22:05] gnutron, can you get a website that has a list of mirrors? [22:05] hey, is there something like DUMeter for Linux? (KUbuntu 8.10) [22:05] alex_21-> after the settings like iface eth0 inet static [22:05] techman224: http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Intrepid#About_sources.list_for_Ubuntu_Intrepid_Ibex [22:05] alex_21-> a line after that iface eth0 inet static [22:05] yo, is there a way to make a single launcher start more than one application? [22:06] gnutron: yes, that's where i am. the plugins are not available to choose [22:06] cicciux, its the system monitor applet [22:06] Is there a way to reset any graphics settings currently on the computer? [22:06] rvanguz: dunno about buttons but it on right click on top [22:06] jerbear -> click on the movie extension (or "Content Type") and change with firefox uses [22:06] Is there a way to install ubuntu from an iso? [22:06] do I have to have all the setting the same in the interfaces file for the server to be pingable [22:06] is there a gui to xmms2?

Burn to CD and boot from that CD [22:06] yes i know that, but i want this button on my windows [22:06] hi everyone.

Why my keyborad send Ctrl+@ to terminal when I press Ctrl+2? [22:07] Ferrous: you want xxm2 or are you just looking for a xmms replacement? [22:07] kitche, it was said that xmms2 was supposed to be similar to winamp... is this at all true? haha [22:07] L1NUX_1NS1DE-> drawing or pictures.. [22:07] cicciux: besides "figure it out yourself then do it yourself. [22:07] I have an issue.. my power flickered and when my pc rebooted my screen res is only 800x600...i tried going to recovery mode in grub and tried to fix xserver "ubuntu 8.10" that didn't correct it..can anyone help? [22:07] gnutron: no [22:07] n8tuser, but how do i do that without the install-cd? [22:07] L1NUX_1NS1DE-> use your knowhow to make this happen [22:07] Ferrous: no xmms2 is nothing like winamp xmms/audiacious is like it though [22:07] hmm.... [22:07] Mal3ko: yes, what would you want to hide? [22:07] techman224: that page has a list of repositories?! [22:07] k [22:07] Ferrous xmms is similer to winamp... xmms2 is the next gen xmms. [22:07] Lava-> can you boot at all on the new install? [22:07] bmpx ownz all [22:07] oh, i was looking into having any sort of asthetically pleasing player, i rather liked winamp for it's docking and things, but hadnt seen any such thing for ubuntu [22:08] hi everyone. Why my keyborad send Ctrl+@ to terminal when I press Ctrl+2? I can not send Ctrl+1 at all [22:08] ptchemist: I meant without burning to a cd; I do not have an optical drive [22:08] try bmpx [22:08] n8tuser, nope i can just boot feisty [22:08] can someone tell me why I cannot mount flash drives? [22:08] ferrous -> I had the same problem, ended up with Audacious that uses an XMMS skin....I did like XMMS [22:08] so kitche any suggestions? [22:08] Ferrous: audacious with refugee skin :-) [22:08] barnebie, if you have a thumbdrive you can use unetbootin to make a bootable-install-live-thumbdrive [22:08] haha okay. thank you. [22:08] barnebie -> go to ubuntu.com and order a free CD with the installation goodies already on it [22:08] is there a more specific ubuntu channel for help with wireless cards maybe? [22:09] tysin: not really, besides the guide that I gave you though ubottu [22:09] Lava-> and you want what? 8.10? if it was me, id not install 8.10 but 8.04 instead [22:09] my screenlets flash on and then all disapear, anyone have an idea how to get them back? [22:09] if some one on here can help me just say so and ill wait until your done. [22:09] thank you again [22:09] n8tuser -> why 8.04 not 8.10? [22:09] snuitje: unless a user uses sudo or in sudo mode, make his ssh restricted to his own home folder only [22:09] n8tuser, if you think i should do that, i will, but how? [22:09] ptchemist-> what is it in 8.10 that you need? [22:09] bye! [22:09] evening [22:09] n*tuser Before the address and after the static? [22:10] Lava-> you have a running linux now? feisty yes?

[22:10] barnebie, you may be out of luck then.. Unless it can do a net-boot. the !install factoid page may have some other ways to do it. [22:10] n8tuser -> nothing really, not thought you might have a reasoning behind 8.04 over the "new, shinier, faster, slimmer, less power hungry, ..." version. Perhaps something I should now about since I'm currently debating 8.10 (with static IP problems mentioned) or 8.04 (perhaps with IP problems) [22:10] !install | barnebie [22:10] barnebie: Ubuntu can be installed in a lot of ways.

[22:29] n8tuser: complete reinstall [22:29] btw font is a font i can put font from windows right [22:29] n8tuser, in Places - Computer [22:29] Al1-> from the dvd right? did it not asked you to select where you want the os to be installed? === Markus is now known as Aoimsh0t [22:29] n8tuser, there are two files there [22:29] n8tuser: no [22:30] Aoimsh0t: this isn't the place for that [22:30] n8tuser, 18,1 GB Volume & Filesystem. [22:30] anyway I was wondering how you can make a stand excutable in linux [22:30] erUSUL, what is the actual name of that program? [22:30] Lava-> you have to use command line. [22:30] n8tuser: i think that it just restored it to default factory setting [22:30] n8tuser, what do you mean [22:30] Al1-> huh? i thought you said you re-installed? [22:30] faemir: gksudo users-admin [22:30] n8tuser: thats what it was called [22:30] n8tuser: i think [22:31] Lava-> you need to have a new partition to install another os [22:31] Al1-> dont know about that restore thing [22:31] I am getting this error when I go to the site in Safari "500 Connect failed: connect: Connection timed out; Connection timed out [22:31] " [22:31] n8tuser, cant i just format my pc and install hardy heron again? [22:31] n8tuser: anyways [22:31] L1NUX_1NS1DE: you didn't find a place to upload the map of your network? I'd like to know one myself [22:31] Dillizar: what's wrong? [22:31] Lava you can, but i thought you said you dont have the cd to install? [22:31] erUSUL, what package is that in? (unless kubuntu has something that can do the same thing) [22:32] snuitje, i open open office and cant find the font [22:32] Al1-> am confused, you did a re-install or not? [22:32] faemir: ooops thats for gnome i dunno if kubuntu has an equivalent [22:32] alex_21 haev you set up a proxy that isnt working? [22:32] erUSUL, yeh, what package includes it? [22:32] anyone here have CCSM installed and uses metacity as their default window decorator? [22:32] alex_21-> is the 192.168.0.1 serving at all? [22:32] faemir: dunno really let me check [22:32] n8tuser, i have, but with the hardy i messed up i cant seem to use it [22:33] Lava-> then how else are you going to install if you dont have the livecd for it? (other than the debootstrap i recommended) [22:33] i only say Ubuntu + FCGI + lighttpd == Segmentation fault <=> btw. ubuntu 8.10 server any solution yet? thx [22:33] n8tuser: i did a full reinstall and wiped my harddrive and restored default factory settings, it fixed the original problem and now my soundcard works, however the package manager runs but is asking for me to insert the ubuntu dvd which i have and after that it doesnt recognize that i have and so nothing happens and it keeps asking for the dvd [22:33] faemir: but you can have the same effect adding users to plugdev;cdrom and floppy groups [22:33] anyone here have CCSM installed and uses metacity as their default window decorator? I really need your help. [22:33] It looks like it will serve the index, but that may be cashed [22:33] faemir: you can use command line to do it or whatever means kubuntu provides [22:33] pu154r: Have you filed a bug report? [22:34] faemir: gnome-system-tools [22:34] n8tuser: and the partitions remain the same [22:34] Al1-> ahh okay, now you need to modify your /etc/apt/sources.list and remove the reference to dvd [22:34] n8tuser: ok [22:34] n8tuser, i have the cd, i installed hardy with it a few months ago. but now i have messed up some things in hardy, so i cant even boot it anymore. if i try the cd (that i succesfully used before) to install hardy, it stops at 7% [22:34] Al1-> well having same partitions, will not give you flexibility as i suggested [22:34] ok is kitche still here? === Bitfish is now known as bitFish [22:35] Lava-> right, so your best bet is either get a new livecd or use debootstrap to do a re-install, which one would you want to do? [22:35] hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii [22:35] I love u guys + ubuntu [22:35] n8tuser: alright so... where is the reference in that file, any idea? [22:36] erUSUL, it still says there is an error when mounting, if I expand it it's empty. before it linked to some instructions on http://ntfs-3g.org/support.html#unprivileged but they didn't work unless I did them wrong [22:36] n8tuser, man i dont know so much about all this, what do you suggest? [22:36] Dillizar: what type are those fonts? [22:36] n8tuser: ## deb cdrom:[Ubuntu 8.04 _Hardy Heron_ - Release i386 (20080423)]/ hardy main restricted? [22:36] It is serving some pages, and others not [22:36] Al1-> are you going to re-install once more and create those suggested spare partitions and separate /home or you just going to continue? === bitFish is now known as Bitfish [22:37] Lava-> i suggest debootstrap..but you have to hang on if you want me to assist you, let me finish up with the other two [22:37] n8tuser: i dont think even if i reinstalled i could, my system seems to be pretty stable now so i dont think i should, but if you suggest it then alright... I just will need more help [22:37] snuitje, .ttf [22:37] n8tuser, cool, thanks ill let you finish up then :p [22:37] Al1-> it is up to you, you can learn more, or leave it as it is? [22:37] having problems following the guide for installing ati drivers, still at the same point and the commands don work for removing mesa [22:38] Dillizar: did you close all instances of openoffice.org? [22:38] yes [22:38] Hi, I have a question about the sound system. After recent upgrades both PulseAudio and alsa stopped playing movies. At the same time Rhythmbox is working fine. The only way I can get sound in videos is by selecting Multichannel playback for movies in the Sound Preferences. What can I do to fix the problem?

[22:38] Flannel: there are enough bug reports [22:38] pu154r: About your problem? [22:39] alex_21-> you meant some services you can see but others not? are those others running? how did you verify?

[22:41] hi at all. i want to change the cursor-theme which is used at the login screen. Where do i have to copy the files and what changes do i have to make? [22:42] snuitje, the folder for the fonts should be with .fonts or not [22:42] kalakouentin-> what is your target programming language? [22:42] to change compiz settings, do I need to install compizconfig-settings-manager? [22:42] erUSUL, none of that helped... [22:42] hello, I'm running ubuntu on my macbook pro, all my function keys are working properly except those that adjust screen brightness. After searching the forums it seems there is an issue with compiz, however I couldn't find a suitable answer. Can anyone help?

[22:44] johnny05: "man tar" and look for the "--exclude" option [22:44] why can't I install php5-gd on my distro??? [22:44] thank you. [22:44] n8tuser, no idea [22:44] alex_21: It's running natively, not with virtualization software, and as I mentioned, the other function keys work properly [22:45] thanks __BSD__ [22:45] why can't I install php5-gd on my distro??? what could the reason be? [22:45] <__BSD__> you're welcome [22:45] Try with FN + F1/F2 and see if that gets the native job to work [22:45] LjL - it says exclude by pattern. not sure what to use [22:45] alex_21: native job? [22:45] Lava-> where is the results of mount command? [22:46] zsquareplusc: really, i just need to update to the new version..but i don't know how..is it sudo apt-get install 0.14 something or do i have to get it on a site and then untar it an something [22:46] johnny05: i'd try "files/*" [22:46] johnny05: otherwise, just "files" [22:47] qcjn: you'll only get the highest version existing on the mirrors, you'll need to compile it from source i'm pretty sure. [22:47] n8tuser, http://pastebin.com/m4c94f6dd [22:47] qcjn: apt-get update is there is a new version in ubuntu repositories. if that's not the version you want you'd have to install it manually. either by finding a deb or by sources [22:47] alex_21-> how good is that "voice over" have you compared that to other similar apps? [22:47] hey anyone did get to work bcm4312 & aircrack? [22:47] qcjn: what that wizard zsquareplusc said ;) [22:47] zsquareplusc: ok, i ll look [22:48] Ok, so before my server crashed I was on my site, and now the page I was on is the only one that won't work. What can I try to fix it. I try running it from the cli at perl user-manager.cgi and it hangs [22:48] zsquareplusc: sudo apt-get mpd update ?? [22:48] zsquareplusc: i can't do that i've uninstalled it [22:48] hi [22:49] Lava-> you have plenty of room on hda6 and you have a secondary swap on hda7 ? [22:49] qcjn: just apt-get install mpd [22:49] I used to use JASW, Tried Window-eyes for a while, NVDA in a VM, but Voiceover is the besst. The fact that it is free anc comes built in to Leopard really helps too [22:49] so how do anyone know why X can't find a compatible NVIDIA driver? [22:49] n8tuser, man i have no idea what you are talking about [22:49] qcjn: version 0.14 isn't in any repository. [22:50] i kinda srewed up my resolution so i can harddly see the menus! [22:50] qcjn: it will suggest many others packages, you might wanna use synaptic instead. [22:50] can someone tell me how I can give my user permission to automount drives? [22:50] why can't I install php5-gd ?? what could the reason be? It say it is not installable [22:50] alex_21-> great, i have a client that has those needs, you have come across something that works on linux ? [22:50] yes i've seen that it installed 0.13.1 [22:50] it is to walk up to a machine and not find a screen reader on it, or when there is, it isn't what your used to. Apple has really freed us of that burden on Mac OS X 10.4 and up [22:50] can some one plz guifde me? [22:50] Lava-> familiarize yourself with what showed up when you did sudo fdisk -l and see if you can correlate to what i just said [22:50] Is there any way to switch from the standard app switcher to the ring switcher without compiz, or is that a necessity for that? [22:51] Hey guys! Why hasn't OpenOffice.org 2.4 been upgraded to version 3 yet?

[22:51] What are your clients needs, and then I can reccommend the right thing [22:52] Flannel, LjL: Thanks! [22:52] n8tuser, i really really dont know so much about ubuntu, so with the best will in the world, i cant follow. but isnt there a simple solution to just fix the damn thing?

[22:53] qcjn: enable all your repositories and reload the list[s] [22:53] Lava you have to boot from the livecd or alternatecd to do a re-install [22:54] can someone explain how to change a read-only filesystem? [22:54] to non read only * [22:54] faemir: depends on why it's read only [22:54] Lava-> and the third i told you is via debootstrap, but thats a bit of a hazzle [22:54] gnutron: ok, but i think i enabled all the repositories [22:54] qcjn: sure, look for a .deb on mdb's site or get the source code.

Use eSpeak for best multy language suport. I run a Ubuntu blind users group on the forums. Also, don't give them KDE, gnome is much more accessible, and even then you have to be careful.

Will do [22:57] faemir: 1.) what file system is on it, please be %100 certain [22:57] bartmon, ;) [22:57] Lava are you also dual booting? [22:57] Hm, nope that's not what I'm looking for. I'm looking for a way to install commonly used build tools (libtool, autoconf, gcc, etc) as a group, or do I have to manually install each I need? [22:57] There are plenty of packages like that. Google Linux Accessiblity, and there is a list of the access software listed for and by categy [22:57] johnny05, the "--exclude" must come *before* the -cvzf. the "f" in "cvzf" means "the next argument is a filename" [22:57] ikonia, fat16 [22:57] Category on one of the pages [22:57] ikonia, unless fdisk is lying [22:57] n8tuser, if you mean i have multiple versions of ubuntu on my pc, then yes [22:57] ah, thanks [22:57] johnny05: the tar filename maust be after the f option [22:58] johnny05: so tar --exclude="files" -cvzf archive.tar.gz * [22:58] faemir: fdisk doesn't tell you the file system [22:58] ikonia, , fdisk -l does [22:58] faemir: fdisk just tells you the partition type [22:58] malcom2073: you were answered, install build-essential gives you the toos you'll need. [22:58] faemir: no it doesn't [22:58] ... oh. [22:58] johnny05: also i do not think you need the "" on the --exclude pattern [22:58] I used to use JASW, Tried Window-eyes for a while, NVDA in a VM, but Voiceover is the besst. The fact that it is free anc comes built in to Leopard really helps too [22:58] malcom2073: yes, it's what you're looking for, because it's exactly what you have described. [22:58] alex_21-> biggest issue right now, is how to enter the info for the client, being spastic, cant zero in on an icon easily [22:58] gnutron: #qcjn [22:58] ikonia, okay, well mount says that it is vfat [22:58] Try with FN + F1/F2 and see if that gets the native job to work [22:58] faemir: ok, thats good [22:58] Is it safe to put /lib on another partition and mount it via fstab? My root partition is too small and /lib is a whopping 500 MB. [22:58] !compile > malcom2073 (malcom2073, see the private message from ubottu) [22:59] Odd, I did an install and it said I already had it installed and up to date, but it's missing libtool and autoconf at the minimum. I'll go google to see what all build-essentials includes [22:59] so how do anyone know why X can't find a compatible NVIDIA driver? [22:59] faemir: so fat file systems have no permissions, so the norm is either a.) it's mounted read only b.) you need to mount it as a "user" owner c.) you need to chmod 777 it [22:59] and I'll check out that link [22:59] thanks [22:59] rstat1: there isn't one ? [22:59] Slow down the mouse movement [22:59] rstat1: you used tools like envy ? [22:59] pluma: i wouldn't do it, there's the kernel modules in there. /usr/lib, on the other hand, could be moved [22:59] Didn't use envy [22:59] ikonia, i cannot 777 it cause it's readonly though :S [22:59] faemir: did you check the output of dmesg for "read only" messages? [22:59] I've already put /usr, /var, /home and /tmp on seperate partitions, but / is still too big [22:59] and Hardware drivers says there is one enabled and in use [22:59] rstat1: ok, so you need to either a.) mount it rw b.) mount it as a user owner [22:59] pluma: Why don't you just make / bigger? [22:59] !fat [22:59] To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions - For write access, see !NTFS-3g or !FUSE [22:59] hey [23:00] zsquareplusc, [ 3038.116794] fat_get_cluster: invalid cluster chain (i_pos 0) O_o [23:00] alex_21-> yeah, im training him on that, thats the only pc they have at home, so switching back n forth between other users, kind of throws of the settings [23:00] How would I do that Ikonia? [23:00] rstat1: then your using the driver [23:00] I recovered my server, but now I want to go onto my site. When I go onto it, only the page I was on it before it crashed doesn't work. I tried running it with "perl user-manager.cgi" and it just hangs in Terminal [23:00] pluma: also, 500MB for /lib sounds like a bit much. don't you happen to have a few kernels (and their modules) installed that you don't really need? [23:00] rstat1: if it's enabled and in use, your using it [23:00] Ah that explains that, I'll have to manually install alot of this stuff. [23:00] Thanks [23:00] Flannel: can't. I didn't know much but "more partitions = better" when I installed Linux a few years ago and hence my hda is shite. [23:00] I am, but after X fails [23:00] malcom2073: err... NO [23:00] LjL: here is the pastebin http://pastebin.com/m208cb835 [23:01] i need help i am in ubuntu and i want to enable my Nvidia card but if i do i use my main monitor after reboot. my main monitor is broken (its a laptop) what doi do so it uses external monitor? [23:01] LjL: I think I do. I get quite a selection on booting. How do I remove them then? [23:01] malcom2073: what i'm saying is that you should "sudo apt-get install build-essential" to AUTOMATICALLY get gcc, autotools, etc, etc, installed [23:01] alex_21-> anyhow, those tips are a good start..let see what i can do with them [23:01] ikonia, so how can i mount it as a user owner?

[23:09] ikonia, so what is the solution manual mounting? [23:09] Dillizar: try about:plugins in moz and see if shockwave flash is listed [23:09] faemir: there should be a config file for hal to say all fat devices mount as user, but I don't know that config off the top of my head [23:09] !flash | Dillizar [23:09] Dillizar: To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash (a recent version for !Dapper is available in !backports) - See also !Restricted and !Gnash [23:09] ok this is what happeneds. i enable then asks to reboot i reboot and then it loads up to the loading bar and then it says no signal. so i pop cd in reboot and my computer detects and well i get to reinstall [23:09] ikonia, feel free to have a look :P [23:10] UbuntuUser: you enable what ?
