ActionParsnipdnyy: sudo mkfs.vfat /dev/<partition nane>00:06
Jack_Sparrowbenzss First, check the ownership: Open a terminal and type cd /media ...then type... ls -la ...then, do the following, replacing “yourPartition” with the name of the partition (e.g. /sdb1)... sudo chown -R username:username /media/yourPartition  (On a live system you must create a user name first) followed by... sudo chmod -R 755 /media/yourPartition ... Finally, check to see if it worked by doing another ls -la to verify t00:06
Jack_Sparrowhe permissions are set00:06
VerdugoJonesCan anyone help me figure this out?00:06
rltdnyy: mkfs.vfat -F 32 /dev/<partition>00:06

IndyGunFreakmib_or4wst: its in the repos.. sudo apt-get install gyachi00:10
dnyyActionParsnip: So I have to create a partition on it before I can format it?00:11

Jack_Sparrow!uuid00:22
ubottuTo 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)00:22
* Theeb hello00:22
MyrttiMTecknology: after that you can either bind new keys, use esc-a (go to next active window), esc-n (go to next # window), esc-p (go to previous # window)00:22
Jack_Sparrowgeek64 edit fstab uuid? or on the actual partition00:22
rltgeek64: do you mean the UID of your user account, or the UUID of a filesystem?00:23

Ben1should i have a swap partition?00:41
smkajtgnutron: so, it did not return any message00:41
Jack_SparrowBen1 one or two drives, yes you need swap00:42
Ben1i have one drive00:42
gnutronsmkajt: that should move it to /home/user type cd then ls -l  you should see it00:42
jrgpBen1, it's always a good idea to have swap, but if you have a very lot of ram, it's not always needed00:42
jrgpit depends on what you use your computer for\00:42

Jack_SparrowBen1 you dont need to make the partions, the installer will do it for you as needed.00:45
Jack_SparrowBen1 you can create them manually, and I would create a sep  /home partition00:46
Ben1i have unallocated 60mb, recovery 10gb (i want to keep this), unallocated 4.33mg, linux swap 3bg, and new partition that i want ubuntu on which is 100gb, and unallocated 40gb (for xp)00:46

Jack_SparrowBen1 that is the easy way.. Install windows on sda1  in whatever size partition you need00:47
fa2ssomeone knows how to otimize the ubuntu 8.10?00:47
StevenXI have ubuntu. How can I install kubuntu, but keep the two completely seperate?00:48
gnutronBen1: if dual-booting installing ms windows first makes things easier regarding the mbr. master boot record00:48
Ben1should i keep the linux swap partiton?00:48
jrgpStevenX, you can just install KDE and pick whether or not to use gnome or kde when you log in00:48
Jimi__Hendrixyes00:48
StevenXI don't want kubuntu to add its icons to ubuntu.00:48
Jack_SparrowBen1 ubuntu will setup the dual boot if windows is already installed..  windows will not setup ubuntu dual boot if it goes on second00:48
jrgpStevenX, sudo apt-get install kde00:48
Ben1okay00:48
Ben1thanks00:48
StevenXjrgp: Hm.. Ok. I will try that. But will it install a bunch of KDE icons and menus along with the ubuntu ones? I don't want that to happen.00:48
Jimi__Hendrixben1 keep it unless you have a #$%^&* load of ram00:48
Jack_SparrowBen1 please also look into sep /home partition00:49
smkajtmy bandwith is not running at it max capacity, what sould i do ?00:49
jrgpStevenX, the icons will be the same when you're using gnome (ubuntu default) and the KDE applications will be inserted correctly into your ubuntu menus00:49
Ben1but ubuntu will make its own when i install it to the unallocated space left over from the XP partition right?00:49
Jimi__Hendrixhow do i install grub...assume its not installed00:49
bitmouseHey do you still have to use Ndiswrapper for WPC300N wireless card?00:49

Jimi__Hendrixbut i dont want to install ubuntu again...just grub00:50

I've even tried running gparted to see the device name (like sdd1), but gparted just shows my harddisks.... Any help?00:57

duanedesignat least in my opinion01:15
draeathGot a good one for you. I would like to install an ubuntu variant into a file, hosted on an XFS volume. I would be using my own bootloader (but I could chainload). Can this be (fairly) easily done? I'm looking at ubuntu-studio specifically, but I can just install the server flavour and do it with apt later.01:15

heogenhi, anyone know the bugdom game to ubuntu?01:53
alex_21No01:53
linux29684alex_21: normally port 22 is open, but you can tunnel SSH through tor01:53
exodus_msFloat> got it... you ready?01:54
alex_21Unless I can somehow figure out the ports.01:54
forcesI want install it01:54
heogenanyone know this game?01:54
Jack_Sparrow[T]ank are you trying to fix your installed ubvuntu?01:54
heogenbugdom?01:54
slaytonalex_21, is your computer behind a router at home? if it is you need to setup port forwarding on your router01:54
heogenanyone play this game?01:54
forcesI have this file: libflashplayer.so01:54
alex_21We have a port 80 http proxy and a port 443 https proxy01:54
linux29684slayton: his server at school blocks many things01:54
jj_galvezalex_21: first you need to have an ssh server running at home01:54
[T]ankJack_Sparrow: no01:54
[T]ankusing live cd on usb01:54
heogenbugdom game?01:55
slaytonlinux29684, right but if his home computer is behind a router he needs to enable port forwaring on his home router so he can ssh to his home computer01:55
[T]ankthe file is not there on live cd.01:55
heogensomeone know it01:55
slaytonheogen, your !offtopic01:55
jj_galvezalex_21: then you can use something like gstm to make the tunnel01:55
Jack_Sparrow[T]ank I gave you the normal place for it..01:55
slayton!offtopic ! heogen01:55
ubottuError: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :)01:55
alex_21I can ssh into my home computer from anywhere else01:55
[T]ankright... that is where it is on an installed version... its different on live cd01:55
slaytonalex_21, then your school is probably blocking port80 out01:55

heogen<slayton why i'm off topic?01:55
slaytonheogen, talking about a game?01:56
Jack_Sparrow!games01:56
ubottuInformation about games on Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Games and http://www.icculus.org/lgfaq/gamelist.php01:56
heogen<slayton I just make a question01:56
heogen<slayton if you know this game?01:56
linux29684anyone know how to lock the /etc/resolv.conf from changing upon reboot? kvpnc bug keeps changing it.  i have no scripting ability and sudo chmod 444 does no good.01:56
heogen<slayton because I would like to install in ubuntu01:56
alex_21<linux29684> what is this. Can you break it down01:56
slaytonheogen,  if you have a question about how to get the game working or something like that ,but asking people if they know a certain game is offtopic.....01:57
heogen<slayton and normally this game is for windows and mac01:57
Jack_Sparrowlinux29684 try asking in #kubuntu if Ubuntu-gnome people dont answer01:57
slaytonheogen, that is a good question how to install a game in ubuntu01:57
linux29684ok, thanks Jack01:57
heogen<slayton ok.01:57
linux29684alex_21, i can explain more in #ubuntu-offtopic01:57
Hy71194hai Ciaranarchy :D01:57
macondoWhat options do I have if my ram test positive for failure with memory test?01:57
Hy71194how was p2p network? :P01:57
heogen<slayton but normally in ubuntu you install the game with add and remove program01:57
OO7heogen use WINE01:57
itai_michaelsoncan anyone recommend a good backup tool for ubuntu. i don't want to backup data, i want to back up /. i read about pybackpack and sbackup. any recommendation ?01:57
CiaranarchyHy71194: It's a good network01:57
Hy71194Ciaranarchy im Harry :(01:58
slaytonheogen, right so then the appropriate question would be to ask "Is bugdom in the ubuntu repositories"01:58
CiaranarchyAhh01:58
CiaranarchyI see01:58
bobthemilCould someone help me fix my wireless network? It works sporadically, is configured with WEP and DHCP, and my router says that a device is attached, but my laptop is not getting an IP address (not accepting?)01:58
Jack_Sparrowmacondo One option, repair the broken hardware, set bios to a slower setting if it has one01:58
macondoitai_michaelson: rsync is a classic01:58
heogen<OO7> I don't like to use wine01:58
slaytonheogen, the etiquette is to ask questions about a problem and see if people know how to solve the problem01:58
chaos_bobthemil: try sudo dhcpcd wlan001:58
OO7why not...01:58
heogen<slayton> ok thank you01:58
CiaranarchyDo you guys ever look at photos using ubuntu?01:58
bobthemilsudo: dhcpcd: command not found01:58
macondoJack_Sparrow, isn't there an option to disable certain ram faulty sectors?01:58
slaytonheogen, it doesn't appear that there is a linux version of bugdom01:58
craigbass1976I just upgraded a box from feisty to gutsy.  No X.  I seem to remember running into this on another box, but can't remember exactly how I fixed it.  Something about x reconfigure?01:58
CiaranarchyLike...photos...that are...by carl?01:58
slaytonheogen, neither in the repos or available for installation from source either01:59
Jack_Sparrowmacondo not in any I have seen01:59
itai_michaelsonmacondo, will i be able to restore if the system doesn't boot (from live cd or something?)01:59
chaos_sudo apt-get install dhcpcd01:59
ubuntunoobI need some help with a failing Xsession on startup.   I removed pulse-audio manager and most instances of pulse audio from synaptic package manager so my sound would work.  After doing this my xsession is failling and I must boot into Gnome Failsafe?  Any ideas on what file needs to be modified to ensure a properly booting xsession without pulse?01:59
ubuntunoobThe fail message it gives me in xsession is when it tries to execute /usr/bin/pulse which no longer exsists by the way.01:59
bobthemilchaos_: i cant do that without a network connection01:59
heogen"Is bugdom in the ubuntu repositories?01:59
chaos_oh haha right01:59
exodus_ms!repeat01:59
ubottuDon't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://wiki.ubuntu.com while you wait. Also see !patience01:59
kr00lcan i get gOS help here?01:59
Jack_Sparrowheogen no01:59
chaos_no wired connection in the house then?01:59
ircdclitai_michaelson: rsync + cron and there is a GUI for both, Grsync and gnome-schedule01:59
chaos_how are you on IRC?01:59
macondoitai_michaelson, what do you mean? you are backing up data, when you need it, you'll be able to restore it01:59

exodus_mssorry :)02:02
jon5000Hi.  Anyone want to provide some help to a novice trying to install dual boot?02:03
MimiJack_Sparrow,  Yeah, but I need to know the driver, not what the card is (because after 2 years of stable Ubuntu, my laptop monitor just went black , and it wont load my video card). Trying to troubleshoot this thing. ^^02:03
dnyyI'm trying to create a startup on usb, but it gets stuck at "Starting Up"  What's wrong with it? :(02:03
deadoraliveHello there. Is DevC++ available as development software for Linux? (Ubuntu, specifically).02:03
chaos_jon5000: install whatever OS you want first, and then ubuntu, and it will usually autodetect it02:03
Jack_SparrowMimi did livecd get the monitor to work?02:03
n8tuserdeadoralive-> c++ and gcc02:03
chaos_deadoralive: use wine!02:04
corgananyone had trouble connecting to yahoo with pidgin02:04
chaos_if you want devC++02:04
Jack_Sparrow!usb02:04
ubottuFor information about installing Ubuntu from USB flash drives, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick - For a persistent live USB install, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent02:04
n8tuserdeadoralive-> or use eclipse02:04
exodus_ms!eclipse02:04
ubottuSorry, I don't know anything about eclipse02:04
chaos_deadoralive: or use scite02:04
chaos_eclipse is good too02:04
deadoraliven8tuser: yes, I think I'll use Eclipse. But yesterday a friend of mine told me that DevC++ is available as Linux software too, I tried to search a package for it with no success, that's why I came here asking you.02:05
deadoraliveThank you for the answer :-)02:05
jon5000I have Vista on here already.  you saying i should just take the sugestion that ubuntu install makes? (which is 84.7GB02:05
ircdclAnyone know of any good Emacs add-ons? I've search google but coming up with like a few blogs here and there mentioning emacs here and there but nothing really interesting02:05
deadoralivejon5000: you can also change the size it'll take and it'll install de boot loader anyway.02:06
deadoralivethe*02:06
Jack_SparrowMimi Video Driver Version for Nvidia  (/proc/driver/nvidia/version)02:06
MimiJack_Sparrow,  Yes, this computer has always ran ubuntu very well, even Intrepid since Beta. But the other day I was just working on the laptop as usual, and the screen just went black. Reboot woudlnt even display the BIOS picture. I had to unplug battery and power, and let it sit, before video worked... but only a small resolution :P So I guess nvidia driver isnt being used, or the card went  dead. Complicated problem, I guess :P02:06
jon5000but is there a "right" size?02:06
DreaDyhow install skins in amsn02:06
DreaDy???02:06
Jack_SparrowMimi livecd will tell you alot really fast02:06
MimiJack_Sparrow,  yeah, liveCD hangs now, when it hasn't ever before :(02:07
Jack_Sparrowprobably more than a video driver issue02:07
deadoralivejon5000: it depends. how much do you want it to take? what are you going to do in this linux partition? are you going to store files? develop? browse internet?02:07
MimiJack_Sparrow, I'm trying to find out as much as I can before calling DELL, since they've told me they can't really help me with Ubuntu *fist shake at them*02:07
exodus_msdeadoralive> I think devpp runs on linux using QT02:07
craigbass1976I just upgraded a box from feisty to gutsy.  No X.  I seem to remember running into this on another box, but can't remember exactly how I fixed it.  Something about x reconfigure?02:08
Jack_SparrowMimi try a windows cd02:08
[T]ankanyone else know where to edit the grub menu on the live cd?02:08
MimiJack_Sparrow, is there a windows LiveCD? :O02:08
deadoraliveexodus_ms: so you're telling me that QT has dev++? that's nice, i should give a try.02:08
Jack_SparrowMimi installcd to see if it boots02:09
n8tuser[T]ank-> you dont, only once you boot you can add parameters by pressing esc02:09
MimiJack_Sparrow, OH, sorry, well, I'02:09
Jack_SparrowMimi I actually have XP working on USB02:09
exodus_msdeadoralive> The QT libraries installed from the repositories differ in naming convention from the ones looked for by devcpp I think?02:09
MimiJack_Sparrow, OH, sorry, well, I'm using the laptop right now, it works fine, just the small resolution.  Windows install CD would only show the smallest resolution anyway02:09
jon5000deadoralive: not going to store files per se (though I might want to back up my file storage system (USB drive) on here).  basically I have a usb drive for all pictures, vids, music, etc.  I want to keep all that on the USB drive.02:09
Jack_SparrowMimi Ok, didnt see you had any screen working02:10
[T]ankn8tuser: not true... i have done this once before... just cant remember where.02:10
deadoralivejon5000: you need to know what are you going to do with this linux partition.02:10
[T]ankthe file just has a different name02:10
Jack_SparrowMimi 1024x768 is max vesa mode and should fill the screen02:10
deadoralivehow much do you have?02:10
jon5000What I want to do is use the Ubuntu operating system for everything, but i am gunshy of getting rid of vista (yet)02:10
n8tuser[T]ank-> do you expect it to stay persistent? do you believe you can write into a read only livecd ?02:10
exodus_msdeadoralive> is this what you are looking for --> http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=10639&package_id=12148&release_id=4601602:11
jon5000I have about 285gb02:11
[T]ankIt is on the USB. yes it stays persistant.02:11
bdelin88any reason why i should learn how to compile the kernel?02:11
MimiJack_Sparrow, I got bios setup so it doesn't stretch the screen when using small rez  (because stretched looks all blurry, eww)    mmm now you tell me that, i wonder why highest rez I got now is 800x something (checked screen resolution. Oh well, doesn't really matter..  I'll probably just get a new card if Dell refuses help.  Even though the lappy is less than a year old xD02:12
Mimibdelin88, ... no, no reason whatsoever, unless you're running gentoo or something hhe02:12
bdelin88i guess i should learn about the terminal then maybe02:12
deadoraliveexodus_ms: this is the IDE? :o02:12
n8tuser[T]ank-> usb is not livecd02:12
jon5000deadoralive: the "guided" partition wont let me take the vista down to any less than 70% or 202gb.  this leaves 85gb for ubuntu02:13
deadoralivejon5000: try enjoying the LiveCD first then. with the LiveCD you can use Ubuntu freely, store files, download files, and without taking any HD space02:13
MelikMy openoffice just lost it's skin and now is gray for some reason.. >> http://i36.tinypic.com/tahrna.png | how can i get it back?02:14
[T]ankyou missed the first post of mine. Im not trying to be a pain. The live cd structure and usb are the same.02:14
craigbass1976sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg... It's something like that.02:14
[T]ankone just runs from usb and the other from cd02:14
deadoraliveif you already tried it and want to install, i think 85gb is enough, if you want less, i dont think it will block you to do that, just dont do the guided partition02:14
JoshcaHelp. I have a Geforce 9800 GT 512mb and it won't work, I've tried the restricted drivers and the nvidia install package, I've also installed the latest kernel source and kernel headers yet still no go02:14
Joshcasays it can find the screen but won't open or something02:15
Joshca:(02:15
jon5000deadoralive: i am in the livecd environment now.  I enjoy it, but have decided that I want to go permanent.  not just temporary.  I just want to keep Vista for a few things and in case of emergency02:15
Joshcathank you02:15
bdelin88Joshca: did you download the nvidia drivers from the site?02:15

Joshcabdelin88: same result as the restricted drivers. I even have noapci set etc.02:16
Joshcabdelin88:  sure :)02:16
pinnerupI'm wanting to reinstall Ubuntu, using a new partition as / and using the partition that's currently serving as / as /home instead, since it's a huge 500 GB partition that has all my data. Can I go ahead and use my current / as a /home for a new system, even if it still has all the file structures of a / partition?02:17
jon5000deadoralive: ok.  but just so i understand... whatever space is reserved in the vista partition will be inaccesable space for ubuntu to save files to?02:17
nathan_cant remember what the synaptic was for flash player02:17
deadoralivejon5000: no.02:17
deadoralivewindows doesn't recognize linux. linux does recognize windows.02:17
IndyGunFreaknathan_: i'd download it from adobe.com, so you can get flash 10.. i'm pretty sure the repos have flash 902:17

rltpinnerup: should be okay, especially if you don't make any users called boot, var, etc.02:18
Jack_Sparrowpinnerup If I understand you correctly.. yes02:18
jon5000deadoralive: do you mean that ubuntu will be able to save files in the other partition?02:18

linuxhelp_deor should i take IA64?02:19

nathan_hardy 8.0402:20
IndyGunFreaknathan_: and what happened when you downloaded the .deb file from adobe.com?02:20

Jack_SparrowUnrealClock correct, and not actually being on a partition is my number one reason for never recommending it02:34
Pavlzone moment02:34
UnrealClockJack_Sparrow, I'm still lacking an answer to my question02:34
bdelin88vmware or vbox guys, what uses less resources?02:34
Jack_Sparrow!wubi02:34
ubottuWubi is an Ubuntu installer for Windows users that allows you to install and uninstall Ubuntu like a Windows application, in a simple and safe way. http://wubi-installer.org/support.php for troubleshooting. Please file bugs at http://launchpad.net/wubi/+filebug.02:34
comradekinguUnrealClock: then why is there a problem?02:35
Jack_SparrowUnrealClock read thier site docs.. good luck02:35
StevenXJack_Sparrow: apt-get says that ubuntu-desktop is already installed and latest version.02:35
dr_willisbdelin88,  i find vbox easier  to use. Vmware has gotten.. a bit overkill for my needs.. but your needs may vary02:35
comradekinguThe obvious solution to "bigger hardrive" would be to get a bigger one..02:35
mudkipI'm having issues with my wifi card anyone good with that shit?02:36
Pavlzwhat i must to do ?02:36

exodus_msPavlz> I was under the impression you were having problems upgrading your version of ubuntu?02:37

Jack_SparrowStevenX see what I did...02:51
scuniziflugh, that really depends on which driver you're using and what card you have..  I'm using the 177 driver and have a nvidia 8200 on the motherboard and it's performance is REALLY slow..02:51
flughi tried turning the eye candy off, still seems to happen. not a problem, just... annoying i guess. hate not knowing WHY :)02:51
StevenXJack_Sparrow: thanks. internet slow, but will check what you did.02:51
Jack_Sparrowalp_ are the networks unencrypted and open?02:51
Jack_Sparrowk02:51
scuniziflugh, what card do you have?02:51
flughi have 177 with my 7950 MX (notebook chip), it's fast enough, just flickering once / 20 secs or so02:52
alp_Jack_Sparrow: I am using WEP02:52
flughpiddling with the nvidia settings, trying vblank and all. maybe that's it02:52
UnrealClockI generally dislike asking question after question, but I've had this problem before, and have since forgotten the fix. How does one get all these Audio programs to play sound. Videos and the internet seem to do quite fine, but once I pop Audacity open or anything of the sort it goes silent.02:52
Jack_Sparrowalp_ try it without wep02:52

winston_Coded, you were just in X though04:03

jordan_ok so I installed the apache2, and libapache2-mod-perl2.  I have found out the doc root is at /var/www/ and server root is /etc/apache2.   Now I can sudo apache2ctl -k start and the http://localhost/ and it will give me the index.html file in /var/www/ but if i try to run cust.pl it asks me if i want to save the file04:03

nathan_sweetnes thanks allot everyone04:09

winston_did you solve your issue?04:14
FlannelShoopuf: you shouldn't mix packages (intrepid, hardy)04:14
russ5811no prob04:14
qcjngnutron: it's connected, that way04:14
qcjngnutron: ssh -l username ip-address04:15
mcarterhello04:15
FlannelCtee|Linux: It's likely that the instructions you were following (I'm sure there's a README somewhere) tells you what to do after you've run the bin file.  Unfortunately, it could be all sorts of things, so someone would have to be familiar with planeshift to know.04:15
qcjngnutron: the only difference i see is the -l and no @04:15
Ctee|LinuxFlannel, Ok thanks04:15
mcarterI'm trying to figure out how to configure my video card in ubuntu 8.10 -- the only video related config screen i can find is 'screen resolution'04:15
scunizimcarter, what kind of card?04:15
gnutronqcjn: so, you've connected to the server via ssh?04:16
winston_russ you determined you had read/write privledges to the device right?04:16
mcarterscunizi,  "Out of the box, the graphic card Intel GMA 950, is well detected, ..."04:16
russ5811i tried to change the permissions but it won't let me. let me tell you exactly what it says..one sec04:16
mcarterI'm actually just trying to figure out how to see if it was indeed well configured -- i can't find any reference to the graphics card anywhere04:16
qcjngnutron: yes it's connected, with the -l and no @ between user and ip04:17
nathan_how do i get my visual effects to work?04:17
scunizimcarter, is the resolution out of wack?04:17
josephOkay, n00b question, but how do I boot ubuntu8.10 into command line? I just updated and now the login screen is in a bad frequency range...04:17
qcjngnutron: i don't understand why ?04:17
gnutronqcjn: good, but no hosts file on the client box will cause problems.04:17
mcarterscunizi, res is fine -- redrawing is *slow* -- how it tends to be whenever my graphics card drivers aren't installed04:17
winston_joseph - when your machine turns on, press esc when it says grub booting automtaically04:17
russ5811winston_, it says owner:root create and delete, group: root access files, others: blank, access files04:17
josephright, got it there04:17
nathan_how do i get my visual effects to work? anyone?04:17
mcarterscunizi, just seeing chat here in xchat has slow repainting sometimes04:18
qcjngnutron: so can i retrive it04:18
russ5811but it doesn't give me the option to change them04:18
winston_then press e on the ubuntu 8.04 entry, and add a 3 to the end of that line04:18
gnutronqcjn: not without tools, but its easy to create/edit a new one04:18
winston_then press enter i think04:18
winston_and then b on the entry you just edited04:18
nathan_how do i get my visual effects to work? anyone?04:19
winston_nathan_ did you get glxinfo | grep direct - to say yes?04:19
gnutronqcjn: never delete a system file unless you make a backup.04:19
nathan_yup04:19
scunizimcarter, sometimes the cards are not detected or configured correctly.  in a terminal try gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf and in the file that opens, in the first paragraph or so, mentions how to reconfigure X .. it will re-detect the card and hopefully configur the correct driver.04:19
josephI only have Ubuntu 8.10 lines, but which line do I add it to, kernel or initrd?04:19
josephOr root?04:19

winston_itai_michaelson - you might want to use synaptic it allows more control over your packages04:23
winston_just a reccomendatin04:23
winston_joeph, i mean the line that has your kernel image name on it04:23
qcjngnutron: ok, anyway,what do you suggest for me to do ?04:23
itai_michaelsonwinston_, thanks but i'm keeping it light....low specs, you see...04:23

russ5811under the gui for windows drivers, it says hardware present. that is what it said the last few months it's been working. not showing anything different, but if there are other tests, i'm all ears04:53

wirawan0dmata82: did you put the Linux installation on a Windows partition via "WUBI"? It seemed so to me. Also try this command: "mount" (by itself). That should show the location of /dev/sda1, which is most likely the partition you're looking for.05:20

david_java isnt up to speed with the 64bit version05:27
winston_if it crashes it'll prolly say why05:27
Hikefutankpunk: needless to say, it was a pain to get installed and working properly. I might have even installed a hacked/patched version.05:27

brainzcancan anyone tell me why linux is better than windows?05:27
Hikefutankpunk: and be forewarned, some tutorials get it working, but not for POGO. That was my issue, and has always been. I play chess, and java and pogo typically don't work well together.05:28

aussie_nuttit depending on wat ur using box for brain05:29
winston_brainzcan:  you know exactly what goes into it05:29

ice_creambrainzcan, free is a big one05:30
tankpunkyup i use onboard but when theres a password request 4 say synaptic it locks onboard up05:30
greg_universehow do you enable internet connection sharing?05:30
Hikefudavid_: perhaps it will. I can get it working easily, but like I said, it's the pogo thing. It wouldn't even work on 32 bit with anything other than sun java 5 until Intrepid. It works now with sun java 6. Otherwise, you might be able to load the game room and then not be able to play, or would experience crashes. Perhaps there have been improvements :)05:30
david_no one argues for AIX over windoze lol05:30
ice_creambut why ubuntu specifically, idk05:30
winston_codyzapp: no need to reboot - cntrl + alt + backspace kills your logged in session and puts you back to the login screen05:30

After a slightly troublesome upgrade to Intrepid, I'm stuck running in low graphics mode. dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg doesn't seem to help (It exits after keyboard detection and doesn't seem to reconfigure the graphics stuff at all...)05:31

CO2Gamesyeah ok I tried this bridge thing06:08
arrenlexjunglist313: The wildcard is expanded by the shell. So, bash will get a list of all files ending with .srt in the current directory, and then pass that list to rm -r.06:08

bullfistit will not install or update cause I have the most up to date version06:56

alex_21<xyyl> Accessibility for using mail07:07
CCMonsternope07:07
arrenlexprincefarhaan: There are two parts to a file -- the file's data, and metadata like the filename, modification date, etc. When the Linux filesystem gets corrupted, it loses some metadata about some files. These files become "lost".07:08
CCMonsteri just get the various folders, cmakelists.txt, and a dir called cmake07:08
winston_inode07:08
xyylthere is heavy web filtering at my work07:08
winston_CCMonster - so no configure?07:08
arrenlexprincefarhaan: So the filesystem will put the file's data into lost+found with a randomly generated name, so that you can at least recover the data if you need to.07:08
=== Netley is now known as NeT_DeMoN
CCMonsternothing, only files are changelog, CMakeLists.txt, and COPYING.txt07:08
arrenlexprincefarhaan: So if you have 89 GB of files in lost+found, you have extremely serious filesystem corruption. You shouldn't ever get anything there.07:08
alex_21<xyyl> Do you know how to do this?07:08
princefarhaanoh, is there a way i can define as to how much space is allocated to that folder07:09
princefarhaani am particularly concerned about the lost space07:09
CCMonsteranyone else have the newest version of KTORRENT?07:09
princefarhaanthan the folder itself07:09
arrenlexprincefarhaan: You shouldn't need to. You shouldn't have stuff there. If you get files there you have problems.07:09

Sierradumprlt:  Does that look right?07:12
princefarhaanarrenlex: anyway i can find that space?07:13
fantomassimplexio: my vboxdrv has no such an option like 'setup'07:13
simplexiofantomas: ose ? i have that binary only version07:13
alex_21OO 3 will be available from ppa right now, or when ppa is back up07:14
rltSierradump: not sure why you have two of each Core... I'm guessing you're on a dual-core machine, though, which is why you have Core0 and Core1.07:14
Theeb_Flannel, 2.4 is included, why not 3?07:14
arrenlexprincefarhaan: Can you explain in a different way what you want to do? I don't understand what you mean by "find that space"07:14
Muhammad_SaadHello, which one is the most recommended way to move my Ubuntu installation to a new hard disk?07:14
FlannelTheeb_: Because OOo 3 was released too late in Intrepids cycle (it was postponed a few times)07:14
rltSierradump: here's the output of sensors on my machine, for comparison: http://pastebin.com/f72acc5ed07:15
Sierradumprlt:  10-4  -- just installed a dual core processor!07:15
simplexioMuhammad_Saad: all of it or just /home/ or similiar ?07:15
Muhammad_Saadsimplexio, every thing.07:15
alex_21Any ssh help?07:15
TazbobuActually it will access the MP3/FLAC on the windows machine through totem, but Amarok will not load them07:15
simplexioMuhammad_Saad: then i recommend reinstall and then move old stuff from home07:16
fantomassimplexio: so, what does it mean - ose? :) Should I install another version?07:16
Sinister`why does everything like df stop at gb when is it going to change to TB ?07:16
Sierradumprlt:  Here is my pastebin of my sensors output:  http://pastebin.com/m3d68bd43   What do you think?07:16
buuSinister`: What?07:16
buuSinister`: Pretty sure my df says tb..07:17
rltfantomas: see http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Editions07:17
Muhammad_SaadAny other suggestion?07:17
=== Theeb_ is now known as Theeb
rltfantomas: short version: unless you're doing weird stuff, ose should be fine.07:17
arrenlexSierradump: You probably have two temperature sensors for each core. Perhaps one is heatsink temperature?07:17
simplexiofantomas: ose in that open source version, i use that binary only version which is free for home and non commercvial use07:18
fantomasrlt: yes, I see. So I own a copy of OSE and is not going to change it )07:18
fantomasSo the problem is that Hardy maintainers forget to update VB OSE07:18
Sinister`maybe its my script that only goes to gb07:18
rltSierradump: not sure why you have two sensors per core, but agree with arrenlex on that. The temperatures look about right, esp. if you're not running CPU-intensive stuff right now.07:19
simplexioMuhammad_Saad: tar -cf - . | (cd <mount point of partition to recieve transfer>; tar -xvf -)  or  cp -pidRv /old_drive/* /new_drive/07:19
Muhammad_SaadIf I make an image of my current hard disk and restore it later on the newer one, whch files do I need to edit other than /etc/fstab?07:19
Sinister`Disks: total: 1801.5 GB07:19
simplexioMuhammad_Saad: if you remove old hd out you need reinstall grub07:20
Muhammad_Saadsimplexio, so I will need to edit fstab, grub.conf and what else?07:21
simplexioMuhammad_Saad: what you are doing to that old hard drive ?07:22
Sierradumpjrgp_gone:  how do you set the Cpu1 / Cpu2 to show temperatures????07:23
princefarhaanarrenlex: at the time of install I created a 100GB ext3 partition but after I mounted it, it shows only 88.9 GB07:23
Muhammad_Saadsimplexio, the old hard disk is not reliable enough to do anything with it. That is why I want to move my installation to the newer one.07:23
princefarhaanand now it has 77.1 GB of data and space left is around 250 MB07:23
arrenlexprincefarhaan: There is a utility called filelight which will show you what files are using space. From the command line, you can use "du -sh <folders>"07:24
Sierradumprlt / arrenlex :  No cpu intensive applications... Just Xchat and a couple firefox windows, skype, and a terminal :)  Computer doesn't seem to be running any faster (but does show dual core)... Went from MK-36 single core 2.0ghz to TL-60 dual core 2.0ghz.07:24
Sierradumprlt / arrenlex:  just wanted to make sure I put the thermal paste on correctly :)  Had to ditch factory thermal "pad" in lieu of some thermal paste I had lying around!07:25
princefarhaanarrenlex: I am installing it as we speak07:25
rltSierradump: hah! Yeah, those temps look fine :)07:25
princefarhaanalmost done07:25
princefarhaani had disk usage analyser though07:25
simplexioMuhammad_Saad: in that casea i recommend that you take old hd out, install ubuntu to new hd, but old hd back to computer and move home to new installation07:26
MasterAkiahey there07:26

vgotshey guys, I've just installed openjdk from standard ubuntu repos, why in some applications i have a font like courier new, well...very ugly font -_-07:27
simplexioMuhammad_Saad: why? because grub is probably installed into old hd mbr currently, removing old hd for reinstall time, ubuntu install new grub into new hd so no problems there after that07:27
arrenlexMuhammad_Saad: I run debian instead of ubuntu, but when I moved to a bigger hard drive I imaged the entire drive completely and then expanded partitions using gparted. In my case, I didn't have to edit anything.07:27
ott0when I installed wine, it seems to have configured gnome to handle windows executables--how did it do this?07:27

Phubarwhat does it mean if BusyBox shows up insteam of the login screen07:30
FAJMasterAkia:  plug in the headset?07:30
arrenlexPhubar: It means grub has encountered a fatal error and must shut down.07:30
Phubargrrr is there any way to fix it?07:31
Muhammad_Saadsimplexio, I think I should look around for a while before making any final decision. The reason I am trying to avoid reinstall is that I am a dial-up connection user. So I do not want to re-install everything. Although I have backup for most packages but some large ones are missing. So I do not want to re-install them.07:31
princefarhaanshows 95.36 GB07:31
MasterAkiai have it pluged in i hear only the sounds from my messager on my headset everything else if coming from my speakers07:31
princefarhaanwith 80GB used and 14 GB free07:31
arrenlexPhubar: Depends on the problem. This usually happens when grub can't find its config file at all. Has anything happened to the place where grub looks for its conf file?07:31

arrenlexMuhammad_Saad: You won't have to reinstall, you might just have to edit a few files. I did exactly what you're doing and it was fine for me.07:32
Phubarwell I get the option to choose a kernel in grub and the nvidia splash the the ultimateedition thinking screen then boom BusyBox07:32
Muhammad_Saadarrenlex, I just want to make sure that I know all the files that need to be edited.07:33
arrenlexMuhammad_Saad: Only way is to try it and see. :)07:33
Sierradumprlt:  just downloaded "gkrellm"  and that shows 4 random temps and 1 cpu temp.  Cpu temp is 51* C so I am thinking processor isn't "cold" but also isn't OVERHEATING!07:33
ddgooseMasterAkia, go to System>Preferences>Sounds, make sure your logitech is set as the output in those settings07:33

arrenlexM0badedr: Drivers for what?07:37
Muhammad_Saadarrenlex, just one more question: In menu.lst, I see lines like "root=UUID=2d1d543f-8b19-48c4-9988-cc010e6eb525". Can I set it as "root=/dev/sdax"?07:38

arrenlexM0badedr: What doesn't work?07:38
arrenlexMuhammad_Saad: In theory, but mine are set using the grub notation -- root (hd0,4) <- represents sda507:39
M0badedractuel i have a problem that i cann't restart my desktop07:39
Muhammad_Saadarrenlex, is it like root=(hd0,0) or root (hd0,0)?07:40
simplexioMuhammad_Saad: then like i said, remove hd, reinstall, put hd pack, then mount old hd to /mn/old and copy /mnt/old/var/cache/apt/archive to new install07:41
arrenlexMuhammad_Saad: There are both types. There are some lines which have "root" and those look like "root            (hd0,4)". There are other lines where root is part of the kernel line and those look like "kernel          /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.24-1-686 root=/dev/sda5 ro quiet"07:41
binarymutantis there a quick tool to convert avi to whatever codec a home dvd-player uses(.vob I guess)?07:41

rltTecR0c: if you're saying you just put in "grep auth.log", that's not the right way to use it. You want "grep THINGTOSEARCHFORGOESHERE /var/log/auth.log". For example, "grep TTY /var/log/auth.log" or "grep rms /var/log/auth.log" or something.08:07

rltGeh, just remembered that I need to go make a gpg key for my new email address >.>09:04
rlt!upgrade | niklaus09:04
ubottuniklaus: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes09:04
ActionParsnipniklaus: yep you need to download a tonne of stuff to step up to intrepid09:05
zetheroofor the first time since using Linux I have decided to revert back to Hardy after having far too many major and minor issues with Intrepid - including kernel panics. I suggest that if you are someone who wants to use your time at the computer to actually use it to get what you need to do done that you stick with Hardy until the next release or until Intrepid gets a serious batch of fixes .... otherwise you may find yourself spending most of your09:05
lihaohello09:05

ActionParsnipniklaus: if you upgrade, you will be running intrepid. I dont understand what you are asking09:06

=== lycidas_ is now known as test12345
zetheroofar too many Ubuntu users are trying to assist people with kernel panics to do the following: "just change your wifi card" etc .... I think this is really silly and should be discouraged for a multitude of reasons. It should be presented in a way that says "you can change your wifi card and it may do the trick, but its still a problem with Ubuntu and not the hardware". I am of course talking about hardware that worked fine with Hardy and no long09:11
ActionParsnipthomasite: its in your gnome menu09:11
ActionParsnipNeurologic: then i am unsure, the profile copy from then back preserves the settings09:11
NeurologicActionParsnip, Ah I fixed it, nevermind =)09:12
ActionParsnipNeurologic: what was it?09:12
NeurologicActionParsnip, Needed to move the contents of mozilla old's firefox folder to the /.mozilla/firefox folder09:12
Giraffezetheroo, i think they just really messed up with wi-fi09:12

Giraffemy wireless card worked just fine until i upgraded to 8.10; now i can't connect to networks that are encrypted with WPA/WPA2 personal09:13
thomasiteThanks.09:13
ActionParsnipNeurologic: that should have copied when you renamed the .mozilla folder, its a subfolder...well its ok now so you're ok09:13
ActionParsnipNeurologic: you may wanna try: sudo chown -R <your user name> ~/.mozilla09:13
NeurologicActionParsnip, I thought kill was a process command, we didn't rename stuff, did we? O_O09:13

Giraffei've no idea how09:15

Giraffei have the network i want to connect to in wpa_supplicant.conf, but it's not broadcast09:16
ActionParsnipOhmu: what if you rename that file? can you resetup wifi?09:16

ghalebfosco_: let me show it in different way, my / is 99% filled , I want to know where the space lost09:23
fosco_ghaleb: cd / ; du -sh *09:23
ActionParsnipGiraffe: then i'd set your wifi to connect even if the ssid is not found09:24
zetherooGiraffe: the sad thing is that Ubuntu is getting more and more popular and as such is more open to criticism than ever before ... and with a "slip" like this one its not going to look good for Ubuntu in the IT News09:24
fosco_it will show the size of each directory09:24
ghalebfosco_: yeah that helps ;) thanks09:24
GiraffeActionParsnip, it doesn't say how to in that link, just to set scan_ssid to 109:24

ActionParsnipfosco_: i'd pipe that into less ;)09:25
Giraffezetheroo, yeah09:25
ghalebthe log is 8.2 G!!!!!!!09:25
ActionParsnipGiraffe: then you could use another app to setup wifi , or manually edit /etc/network/interfaces to set it up.09:25
GiraffeActionParsnip, i could, but shouldn't this be something that the OS should be able to do?09:25
ActionParsnipGiraffe: if you manually edit the interfaces file then network apps won't work as that config file will superceded09:25
ActionParsnipGiraffe: well, it is the OS ;)09:26
ActionParsnipGiraffe: thats the way I always do it personally09:26
zetherooGiraffe: on my wife's laptop (HP DV5) the sound is all quirky ... which was not in Hardy .... I have read other things about people having kernel panics in Intrepid possibly caused by sound devices as well ... so its even more than Wifi I think09:26
GiraffeActionParsnip, that's fine, and i like doing things by hand sometimes too, but i specifically use ubuntu to avoid that09:26
ActionParsnipGiraffe: you could try installing wifi-radar maybe it has more suitable options09:26

ActionParsnipGiraffe: http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/setting-up-an-network-interfaces-file/09:27

Giraffezetheroo, i had the same issue09:28

Dabburlt: i had set kdm as default12:48
jribzamba: you should avoid rpm files.  Why are you not using APT?12:49
jrib!rpm | zamba12:49
ubottuzamba: RPM is the RedHat Package Management system. Ubuntu uses !APT, not RPM. RPM packages are not supported (the package "alien" can allow installing them, but it's quite dangerous and unsupported)12:49
dr_williszamba,  rpm files are 'cpio' archives.. the file manager 'mc' can also view the contents of them12:49
rltDabbu: hmm. But you want to use gdm, right? Have you installed gdm yet?12:49
snekudontu: you can edit /boot/grub/menu.lst to choose a prefered Kernel to load12:49
zambadr_willis: ok, thanks :)12:49
zambajrib: because a driver has been bundled as a rpm12:49
Dabburlt: ya its installed12:49
zambajrib: i don't want to install the package, i just want to get the contents of it12:49

dr_williszamba,  mc is an easy way to do that. :)  if you jsut want some of the files. it can access the file as if it was a 'directory'  of course mc can do that for other archive formats as well. :)12:50
tomcheng76yao_ziyuan: DEB for debian or ubuntu, it is different, as i said, oo is big, i would like for at least PPA support12:50
sneknaiv: damn.. errr.. you might want to check dmesg (less /var/log/dmesg) to see if anything is going wrong12:50
naivsnek: good idea, i gonna try and maybe i'll have an answer in 10minutes :)12:51
zambadr_willis: does it rely on rpm to do that?12:51
rltDabbu: okay, excellent. First, do "sudo mv /etc/rc2.d/S50kdm /etc/rc2.d/K50kdm". Then, do "sudo ln -s /etc/init.d/gdm /etc/rc2.d/S30gdm"12:51

rltyadid: It's not available in the official Ubuntu repositories yet. It'll be in !backports eventually, and will be in the next release of Ubuntu, !Jaunty. There's a PPA repository that would usually have it, but is currently down due to some bugs found in its packages. That should be back up sometime soon. Other methods of using it are discouraged, and may cause you problems when official packages come out, or may not get security updates.14:04
omegamormegilI notice a recurring period of unexplainable high processor activity while browsing in Firefox in Intrepid.  I'll just be doing some reading and Firefox will suddenly go gray for 5-10 seconds, and then it just goes away.  Has anyone else seen this?14:04

ndlovujrib, will fdupes do that? afaik, fdupes will not tell me which files are *not* duplicated. unless I'm missing something...14:06

rltPeskyJ: I don't know. We've hit my knowledge limit now :(14:06
jribndlovu: I was just trying to guess what your end goal was14:06
rltSkittleLinux18_: looks like you should be able to get more detail on the warnings from /var/log/rkhunter.log . That'd help diagnose what it's talking about with that warning.14:07

omegamormegilconde:  Well, you could check to see if it's fixed in the Jaunty alpha, but this is challenging as they haven't released a Live image yet.  You'd have to install it.  The bug also needs to be triaged and reported upstream.  Duplicates need to be marked as such.  There might already be a more developed bug report than this one about this issue, but I haven't found one yet.  See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/HowToTriage14:20

allquixoticHeya! mp3 support in libshout is broken on Ubuntu 8.10 because of a one-line patch in 2.2.2-4: if(mh->layer != 2 || mh->layer != 1) was checked in, instead of just if(mh->layer != 2). It's now saying basically, if(false), because no integer equals 2 and 1 at the same time. So it never decodes mp3. Can 2.2.2-5 (currently Jaunty) be pushed to intrepid? It reverts this patch.14:31
xteejxubuntu: Note that LiveCDs are usually about 1-2 months old, installing and then doing all updates should solve any hardware problems as the kernel has changed twice since the liveCD build.14:31

Appiahjxander: are you using ntfs or ntfs-3g?14:40
jriballquixotic: there are no libshout bugs open in launchpad?14:40
Rainarrowubuntu, you've got quite generic(that is, not rarely seen) hardware. I've not seen your ethernet controller before, but other things should work well14:40

Appiahyou can see what filesystem its mounted with14:41
Rainarrowubuntu, but I don't the ethernet controller would pose a problem for you14:41
jxanderAppiah: oh... sure :)14:41
Jack_Sparrowjxander plug the drive into a windows box and properly remove it to  clear the lock14:41
omegamormegilubottu:  The package is avant-window-navigator, not awn.  It is in intrepid.14:42

ubuntuRainarrow: yes it have also a cam14:43
tomcheng76mee: backup, defragment, burn gparted live iso, shrink, chkdisk14:43

allquixoticjrib: Please look at the changelog for 2.2.2-514:45
jxandermaxb: looks like i can create folders and then delete them... now what :-s?14:45

Rainarrowubuntu, I just said I haven't seen it before, and I also said I DON'T think it'll be problematic14:46
maxbDo the problem folders look like odd windows-internal ones? What's the precise error if you try to "rmdir" one from the command line?14:46

mib_qepzktI've installed Ubuntu on an intel box. The install went fine, but when the login screen displays, it won't accept any input from my USB Mouse or keyboard14:47
xteejxubuntu: You can check the Ubuntu Hardware Compatability Database. But 95% of hardware is supported with proprietary or open source drivers, and if its not I'm damn sure we can get them into the next release for you :)14:47
phpwutz@kelli then active the checkbox that says "use buddy icon" and select your pic :) (sorry if the menu items aren't called exactly like that, i'm on german ubuntu ;))14:47
ed0n0ncan anyone help me configuring Sane? I get no devices available when using xsane. The support for my "CanoScan N670U/N676U/LiDE20" is Complete as it is says at www.sane-project.com. Can you help please?14:47
smnabmib_qepzkt: That is a strange problem, USB keyboards and mice worked fine out of the box for me always. what model was it? have you tried googling it?14:47
mib_qepzktyes I did. Not much help. It's an Acer Aspire box14:48

jxandermaxb: directory not empty... but it's empty... i tried with sudo too, same thing14:48
Jeruvymib_qepzkt: use a ps/2 keyboard and mouse to review the logs, is it a problem with lack of drivers or is it a problem with the usb port/hub?14:48

Jack_Sparrowjxander delete files but not folders..  how odd..  question can you make a folder and delete it?14:48

ubuntulast question: I'm still in live CD and i have tryied audio but i can't ear nothing, its normal?14:49
maxbjxander: Hmm, I was guessing "Operation not supported", which I've seen before trying to delete a reparse point. I guess you're going to have to get the drive into a windows box and chkdsk it.14:49

Jeruvymib_qepzkt: /var/log14:49
olskolirchey guys how do I clear my java cache on Hardy please?14:49
allquixoticjrib: Either way, if you look at the actual change, it's.... testing if an integer (the layer of the MPEG stream) is equal to both 2 and 1 at the same time, which is never true. So the function silently exits.14:49
ShAd`hi14:49
maD3-liNUx@mib_qepzkt: /var/log14:49
allquixoticjrib: The lack of QA on that -- both from Debian and Ubuntu -- is scary.14:49

allquixoticjrib: The impact is that any application using libshout3 to stream MP3 data will silently fail. We discovered this while developing mpd 0.14, but it directly impacts the version of Darkice on Intrepid, and possibly others.14:51

ksbalajixteejx, I have envyng installed. Do I have to rinstall it again for better speedd?14:52
jriballquixotic: it's actually always true, but that's the problem I guess.  n != 1 OR n != 2  will always evaluate true.  It's a debian package without ubuntu modifications, but the bug comes in from a debian patch, it's in debian/patches/1004_allow_mpeg_layer_III.patch .  I guess backports is the way to go here14:52
JoerieRainarrow: anyway it was a typo, i meant Intel GMA 945...14:52
olskolircI guess tomcheng76  how do I get to it please14:52
RainarrowJoerie, lol, 945 is fairly common14:52
allquixoticjrib: If it's backported, won't a user have to enable the ubuntu-backports repository to get it?14:52
kman82hi all, I am off on holiday tomorrow, at the very least I realised I want to fall back on dial up (worst case scenario) but then I realised I can't even remember how to set it up14:52

kman82I've read http://www.ubuntugeek.com/setting-up-dial-up-connection-in-ubuntu.html but is doesn't reflect changes in 8.1014:53

kman82somethingclever, shared graphics card memory14:53
JoerieRainarrow, just a mall typo :)14:53
allquixoticjrib: I was thinking a SRU, because (a) it's a serious regression, (b) the fix is obvious and extremely localized, (c) we already have 2.2.2-5 in jaunty with the fix14:53
Jeruvykman82; boot from the livecd14:53
jriballquixotic: I don't think it fits in with that criteria, but you can try asking #ubuntu-motu and file the bug of course.  It's not up to me in the end :)14:54
JoerieRainarrow, if 945 is fairly common, are the graphic driver problems as well?14:54
somethingcleverkman82, damn, can i turn the shared memory off?14:54
RainarrowJoerie, ok what problem do you have with it?14:54
kman82yeah? and then what, it will show me if my modem is supported?14:54
kman82somethingclever, if you do, you won't have a screen14:54

RainarrowJoerie, you meant you don't have access to hi-resolutions?14:55
jriballquixotic: just cite the debian bug 49007014:55
jxanderJuliada: where do i check for that?14:55
JoerieThat i do14:55
Jeruvykman82: why would you?14:55
kman82Jeruvy, because, if it works I am going to have to do that anyway14:55

jxandermaD3-liNUx: already tried that14:56
Juliadajxander: type "mount" in a terminal14:57
kman82Jeruvy, you answered me without reading my question? ok, well don't feel you have to talk to me anymore, thanks anyway14:57
RainarrowJoerie, first save any opened document you have, then press Ctrl+Alt+Backspace to kill your X, should get rid of your freezing problem14:57
kman82Anyone else - I have read http://www.ubuntugeek.com/setting-up-dial-up-connection-in-ubuntu.html and also used efax to see if my modem is supported on 8.10 - no dice14:57

Jack_SparrowJuliada are they using fuseblk instead of ntfs-3g these days?14:58

kman82I don't have a livecd here, I did the saintly thing and gave it to someone15:03
Jack_Sparrowkman82 so you have not had it work yet?15:03
jriballquixotic: I didn't realize all 2.2.2-5 did was revert the patch (I incorrectly assumed it had other changes).  In that case, I agree with you :)15:04
Jack_Sparrowkman82 you should have made a copy for yourself or saved an iso of it15:04
kman82Jack_Sparrow, no, I followed http://www.ubuntugeek.com/setting-up-dial-up-connection-in-ubuntu.html << but that interface doesn't exist, I tried efax, and wvdial15:04

AlexMaxHi there.  I notice that apache's configuration files are split up six ways to sunday.  How 'automatic' is apache's configuration reading?  Like, if I put in a .conf file into /etc/apache2/mods-enabled, will it be read by apache?  Or do I need to modify something to tell apache to look for an extra conf file?15:14
kman82I see nothing modemy in lspci... audio device intel 'high definition audio controller' and a SMBus COntroller15:14
RainarrowFrogging101, there's should be a step of installation where it ask you to format your partitions15:14
kman82nothing modemy though15:14
EldemonmaD3-liNUx:  yes, look http://rafb.net/p/4pIcC346.html15:15
RainarrowFrogging101, which would wipe out the original installation, effectively "uninstall" it15:15
ArmadaCast: Any other way that doesn't involve me learning phyton?15:15
kman82Jack_Sparrow, wvdial says no /dev/modem - if that is validation enough - and lspci seems to have nothing modemy15:15

lor_n8tuser, if I just back up the root.dsk file?15:22
Armadacast: sort of15:22
smnabksbalaji: yes, you can kill all of these, but you will lose display, 3d effects, crash your system, and lose audio, in that order.15:22

snek1GB is plenty15:29
EldemonmaD3-liNUx:  i have to leave now. Thx very munch15:29
TheMoronYa15:29
castArmada: ARC4, iirc is just a reversed engineered version of RC4, is a stream cipher15:29
amortvigilcast: then why wont it work :| i installed it on /boot wich is /dev/sda5. after installation windows was still the boot partition.. after fixing that and reconfigureing grub again it still didnt want to work...15:29
maD3-liNUxEldemon:ok ...see u sorry i can't help ..:)15:29
castamortvigil: the means of encrypting with a stream cipher is to generate a keystream that you XOR with the plaintext15:29
PeskyJn8tuser: even xhost +otherip says xhost: unable to open display "0.0"15:29
castamortvigil: so...grub loaded?15:30

PeskyJn8tuser: I never logged off... the screensaver kicked in and it won't wake up.. the user is still logged on, all the programs are still running15:49
simplexioPeskyJ: and did you logoff or did you just let screensaver lock screen ?15:49
w0ls0nJack_Sparrow, when you have a moment, can you give me a hand with that?15:49
snekbob: maybe figure out how to stop X from starting on boot.. that way you can have a look at the logs? otherwise you're gonna have to boot a livecd/liveusb and mount the drive to read the logs..15:49

deb_unlimited:)  I've been having issues recently with my computer locking up.  I'm trying to pull something up on the net and the screen darkens.  The cursor shows that the computer is trying to load but it's like the hard drive is stuck in a loop.  The cursor freezes and then will move after a delay.  Sometimes the screen will return to normal after a wait, sometimes it just keeps going and going with no results.  It used to be a rare thing but ove15:51
PeskyJsimplexio: I don't really know what to look for... last thing in there is me unpolugging the USB keyboard and back in again to see if that helped15:51
simplexiodeb_unlimited: does dmesg tell you anything useful?15:52
slack_baphometxnv, have been for a while lol , again - If i use any vnc program from a mac computer ( osx ) will i have no problems connecting to my linux box15:52
simplexioPeskyJ: only time i had issues with X freezing was when i tried compiz15:52
deb_unlimitedwhat's dmesg?15:52
snekbob: i am leaving in 10 minutes, but yeah i suggest having a look in the Xorg logs and dmesg as well.. i bet you'll find something in the Xorg log which could help you though15:52

Anon4123CTRL+ALT+BACKSPACE = reboots the GUI15:54
simplexioPeskyJ: can you pastebin that dmesg ?15:54
margebneed to use dpkg -??? reconfigure ???   maybe15:54
margebor xorg-reconfigure ????  or...?15:54
xnvslack_baphomet: That's not a question anyone can answer. You are asking about "any" VNC program and no one knows about all of them. And you ask about having "no problems" and there are a lot of problems that can come up when connecting any two computers with any software.15:54
bobthemilmargeb: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg15:54

ushillsHi, can anyone help my ubuntu has just stopped autorecognising attached usb drives? it places them under places but does not put them on desktop or autoopen anymore.15:56
bobthemilalsadi: Strangest thing I've ever heard. My advice would be to flash BIOS :S15:57
alsadiushills: could it be the battery15:57
simplexiodeb_unlimited: do you use that fat partition to something ?15:57
snekushills: if it puts them under places they are recognised, no?15:57
xnvalsadi: Sounds like someone added a password while you were asleep or you have a hardware problem.15:57
ushillsalsadi, using a pc not laptop15:57
bobthemilalsadi: A battery going old or dying would just flash the BIOS. So unless your BIOS has a password on by default (which is strange), that shouldn't be it15:57
ushillssnek, it used to auto open until updates today15:57
bobthemilalastor666: Like xnv said, my initial suspicion would be that someone is playing a trick on you15:57
Leonalsadi: You have tried an empty passwd?15:58
simplexioalsadi: toshiba laptop ?15:58

TuxSympathiserwanker15:58
slack_baphometim not asking for program specifics15:58
snekushills: but it's just not making the icons on the desktop, but it is showing them in places (and they are usable)?15:58
xnvbobthemil, alsadi: And you don't want to flash the BIOS. You just want to reset it.15:58
PeskyJsimplexio: http://pastebin.com/d4cad02ce15:58

xnvslack_baphomet: And?15:59
slack_baphometie; computer 1 can see computer 2 regardless of client15:59
Leonbobthemil: sry I believe that you cant flanh the bios if its passwd protected15:59
PeskyJsimplexio: the screensaver kicked in at about 13:18 if that helps15:59
ushillssnek: that is correct not a problem but I use a luks encryped drive and this is not therefore mounting correctly but it does this with all usb now15:59
Jack_Sparrowalsadi Pull the bios/cmos battery for 15 minutes and then put it back to clear the pass or read the manual and find the clear coms  bios jumper15:59

Jack_Sparrowjxander not that I am aware of.16:01

xnvslack_baphomet: VNC is meant to be cross-platform, but there are lots of reasons it might not work between two given computers, e.g. something simple like a firewall.16:02
PeskyJsimplexio: ok... I'm still connected to the machine running xchat over XMRPC connection16:02
TuxSympathiserproviding the latest causes random system freezes where as 7.10 was stabler16:02
PeskyJsimplexio: but VNC wouldn't connect16:02
PeskyJsimplexio: is it possible to restart xorg and make it reconnect to the programs that are still running?16:02
JimmymaniacTuxSympathiser: as long as you keep the distro updated *and* it has support, you should be fine16:02
slack_baphometxnv, thats all i needed to hear thanks16:02

riodeagle: no need for \16:05
bobthemilwell, only similar in the fact that I can't get 8.10 to cope with an R128 card. I got it to install just fine16:05
rioexport foo='bar qux' works without escaping16:05
deaglerio: doesn't work without the \ either16:05
PeskyJsimplexio: from ps auxf it looks like xorg runs once and x-session-manager runs once for each connected x session, so all the programs run under the session manager...16:05

riochristoph@thinkpad:~$ export bar='qux\ baz'16:05
riochristoph@thinkpad:~$ echo $bar16:05

deagleand get: /home/deagle/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/$16:06

ksbalajiJack_Sparrow, The system is faster with effects off. But the system used to be faster still with effect on earlier. (before an update of kernel)17:25
Mateo_Rainarrow: come on :) it's an old palm, clie SJ30 , i just have a infrared connection or usb :)17:25

Jack_Sparrowyes17:27
RainarrowMateo_, so I'm afraid I won't be able to offer much help :(17:27

ubottuPatches are files describing the changes in code to achieve some results.  There are a number of ways these can be produced, but https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/HowToFix and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PackagingGuide/PatchSystems may provide some useful guidelines.18:12
badboysExcuse me all but, i have an problem with ethernet. I have already config my ip but when i want ping a other computer then fail ...18:12
mikeboterUSUL: Which one is the inary version?18:13

badboys<erUSUL> I dont have any msg : ping 192.168.1.1 ==> Destination host Unreachable18:14
YerikYIs my problem too hard to solve? Should I just reinstall ubuntu? My problem is that I can't login to gnome without the failsafe session18:14
Agionhas anyone got mpd + mpdscribble? I have a problem with that...18:14
cybanreinstall gnome18:15
erUSULbadboys: how did you configured your ip? via network manager ?18:15

zleaphello18:15
badboys<erUSUL> no it's a server so with "vi" :D18:15
cybanAnyone have a WiFi Link 5100 AGN working?18:16
YerikYsipior: I installed the latest nvidia drivers when this happened. I already tried uninstalling them, compiz, and did a dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg18:16
cybanYerikY, you need to delete xorg.conf, or use the CD and do a repair option - the driver didnt install right, is the wrong driver, or something similar18:16
Agion has anyone got mpd + mpdscribble? I have a problem with that...18:17
cybanif you can get into another terminal delete xorg.conf and reboot, or theres some xorg config as well I think18:17
YerikYcyban: Shouldn't doing a dkpg-reconfigure xserver-xorg have done that for me?18:17
david_afternoon all18:17

erUSULbadboys: anything stands out in "ifconfig -a" or "ip route" output ?18:21
mikeboterUSUL: OK, java is installed.18:21
cybanYerikY, if you delete Xorg.conf run xorg config and reboot it will work even with a bad driver etc, so if you have to do it twice then uninstall the driver or install a different one18:21
DasEIYerikY: try that my xorg.conf in ibex was even empty at a working startup, but I configured mine manually18:21
YerikYdavid_: I thought it was an update to 8.10 that replaced the old xorg.config file18:21

inordkuosipior: i've run top while testing the machine and when it locks up i don't see significant swap or cpu usage18:25
erUSULmikebot: no if you dled the bin version you do not need to compile it18:25
erUSULmikebot: you just need java18:25
badboys<erUSUL>I have test with other RJ45, ==> bug18:26
inordkuosipior: i can run 4 recordings simultatneously, but as soon as i start the mencoder process, it locks up.18:26

Ohno, grub works fine, but the NTFS partition it sits in is unreadable in ubuntu18:54
xat_nnull: that way, xorg will reset with your user specific xorg conf, and you will have to log in again, but you can avoid being thrown into a loop of xorg constantly resetting every time you log in18:54

However, now my internet doesn't work and when I try to use certain programs in system > administration it gives me an error "You are not allowed to access the system configuration"18:54
tdreyer1Oh: hmmm... and you say that it cannot boot into windows when you try?18:54
christakersoundray: ok i did that18:54
abchirkHow can I look on the install live cd... if its the 64bit version? coz its a 32bit PC and I don't want to install 64bit there. :P18:54
DasEIWips:boot in safe mode, > root shell, then : dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg,  backup xorg.conf before18:55
umanHi. Anyone know how to make a script or something thats says IF cerntain port/ip connection activated= true THEN do something, like send an email Thanks18:55
david_abchirk, not possible with 64 install disk18:55
OhYeah... It just says "loading" for a second then goes right back to the menu18:55
david_abchirk,  you need to download n burn the 32 bit version18:55
fosco_abchirk, search for *.deb and see if it shows amd64 or i68618:55
abchirkah cool david_ so it is 32bit If he installs? :P18:55
Ohubuntu boots fine, and there is an oem recovery mode that boots fine from another partition18:56
soundraychristaker: before you disable any services with bum as DasEI suggests, I would check whether the concurrency thing brings the boot time down.18:56
david_abchirk,  yes it will auto detect hardware18:56
tdreyer1Oh: weird. Sorry I can't help any more...18:56
famastis there a way to "repair" ubuntu without having to install everything again and lose my documents?18:56

ikonia[TiZ]: if there is a seg fault you will normally get a core file for that application19:30
david_ikonia, wow ok, I thought you were asking, of course not , but thanks for the condescension19:30
ikoniadavid_: nothing condescension about it, just stating a fact19:30
[TiZ]Slart: Looks like I turned off my loggers. :x I'll turn them back on, and check next time an app crashes. Still, it'd be nice if a notification popped up or something. Maybe I'll stop by brainstorm.19:31
[TiZ]ikonia: Core file? Huh?19:31
ikonia[TiZ]: depending on the type of crash you may get a core file for that application19:31
dnyyIs there anything like wine but for mac apps?19:31
srizzikonia: still not sure what to do19:31
Slart[TiZ]: ah.. that would explain it.. =)19:31
david_ikonia, hmmm you mentioned  "you dont need to be told how to chmod" I didnt assume I honestly thought you were asking a question, no worries I didn't see you were answering a quesiton19:31

jxanderis there a way to recover deleted files from a ext3 partition?19:32
dnyymphill: well dang, there's only one mac app I really care about, so it's not too much a big deal.19:32
rlt!recover | jxander19:32
ubottujxander: Some tools to recover lost data are listed and explained at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DataRecovery - Recovering deleted files on !ext3 filesystems can be virtually impossible, although a method that might work in some cases is described at http://www.xs4all.nl/~carlo17/howto/undelete_ext3.html19:32
[TiZ]ikonia: I don't think they'd be any more than greek to me, but just in case, where are such files located?19:32
Slartjxander: I think so.. I think you have to look for a ext2 undelete app though19:32
ikoniadavid_ it's not a problem at all, hce why I wasn't trying to be condensending19:32

z4chhSlart, i did do that..it said 1 file had an error, might that screw my installation up?19:38
Picilianimator: Did you read the modprobe manpage?19:38
Slartkr00l: wikipedia lists this as their site, http://www.thinkgos.com/19:38
Hikefukr00l, support, i don't think so, but you can install google gadgets19:38
Izinucsrlt: that was it.. thanks.19:38
D4rkN30mxSlart:  in hardware check, tell me that my sound card is I82801DBICH4 , and supose that its o.k, but, already check my sound card with other O.S. and its o.k,19:38
Slartz4chh: yes.. it might.. if it's the right/wrong file19:38
kr00lThanks, I really like gOS but ubuntu has so much more support and it's easy to use. I'll just stick with 8.1019:39
JJ_thanks worked like a charm lol19:39
lianimatorPici: yes, it says blacklist.. how do I reverse it?19:39
SlartD4rkN30mx: hmm.. ok.. have you tried switching between alsa and pulseaudio in system, preferences, sound?19:39
D4rkN30mxSlart: amm, not, let me check19:39
Hikefukr00l, a lot of the differences are cosmetic anyway. You can actually make a setup very similar. Google it.19:39
kr00lok19:40
Picilianimator: It doesnt add it to the blacklist, it just keeps the blacklist file in mind when doing the command.19:40

XLVanyone here uses ati radeon latest cards? is it possible with latest firegl drivers ( those that get installed by 8.10 ) to have a dual monitor setup? i got a 24" 1920x1200 and a 22" 1680x1050, when i enable large desktop, it forms a 3840x1200 display, but the screen of the 22" doesnt pan to cover the whole 1920x1200 virtual desktop thats displayed there.19:47

axisysPici: i want system wide.. thnx20:10
axisysice_cream: no i like system wide20:10
paul68ikonia:  dumb question but going to ask it anyway is  does it harm when I unmount the linux partition to resize it or is it advisable to avoid this20:10
ice_creamah k20:10
barefooti installed blender, it gives me two options in the menu, fullscreen and windowed, both are actually full screen, anyone know where to edit these settings (not much of a gui person)20:10
Picidon: You'll need to look into using update-alternatives to add a new entry for java.  This would be the proper way to set it system wide, while allowing you to change to something else at another point int time.20:10
Slartpaul68: unmounting a partition doesn't hurt it in any way.. you can't unmount the system partition while using it, of course20:10

Krumarhey, can anyone tell me how well Openoffice 3 is running on ubuntu 8.10, i've been looking online, but no articles are newer than october, and some are warning of bugs20:13
Piciaxisys: vim.tiny is just a smaller version of vim, if you install the vim-full package vim will gain those features.20:13
dr_willisaxisys,  i also edit the /etc/vim/vimrc file to enable extra vim features - many are turned off by default20:14
novvarww: what format did you use vfat or ext20:14
axisysdr_willis: can u share .. i like to be able to use it to edit codes..20:14
SlartKrumar: not good enough for them to include it in the repos afaik20:15
rwwKrumar: It won't be in the official supported repos until !Jaunty. It'll probably be in !backports sometime before then. It was in a PPA repository, but that repo is currently down due to bugginess. Unless you need the new features of OO.org3, I'd recommend waiting.20:15
rwwnovva: vfat, I think20:15
novvai wonder if that is the problem20:15
novvai'll try vfat20:15
dnyyWould running a LAMP setup, but only using it to test personal stuff, hog much memory?20:15
dr_willisaxisys,  read the vimrc config file and the vim docs -  theres dozens of options that are turned off to make vim  be  'more like vi'   such as colors and mouse support, and otehr  things20:15

Slartdnyy: depends a bit on what kind of stuff you intend to test.. but the basic apps won't use a lot of memory20:16
rwwKrumar: you're not the only one; I'm thinking of grabbing it when the PPA comes back up :)20:16

rltHola everyone. I'm currently running intrepid, but there's a couple of packages from jaunty universe that I'd like to use (specifically, boinc-manager and its deps). I know that this isn't a Good Idea, but don't know the potential problems that might result; anyone feel like educating me?21:17

Maveasdwhsix: well, lucky you :)21:18
hackintosh411Hey guys.21:18
dwhsixworks pretty well for me... other than bringing my old ubuntu machine to a crawl21:18
dwhsix(vmware that is)21:18
enzotibrlt, why don't you feel good with the ones in intrepid repos?21:18
Slartrlt: dependencies would be the most obvious one.. ie you'll end up installing almost everything from jaunty because boinc-manager needs some system lib that needs something else  etc etc21:19
MaveasGuys, I need a supreme good data recovery tool? :)21:19

Maveasnot all of us?21:20
Jack_Sparrowhackintosh411 this box is still hardy or maybe gutsy21:20
rltenzotib: the version of BOINC included in intrepid-release is a prerelease developer version. The version in jaunty-release is an actual released version. That's what I gather from https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/boinc , anyway.21:20
rltenzotib: well, that page and the fact that boinc-manager in intrepid has "(Pre-release)" plastered all over it.21:20
hackintosh411Jack_Sparrow: Gusty made me cry. It ruined my laptop then I went back to vista and then switched back to 8.1021:21

fredbloggs12Jack_Sparrow i have seen ubuntu running on a mac, im just not ready to make the full jump into linux yet, is there another way i can install ubuntu?21:35
Veinordid you tro going into system->preferences->screen resolution and clicking "detect displays"?21:36
Terabytefredbloggs12 have you tried a virtual machine?21:36
Jack_Sparrowfredbloggs12 boot the livecd (not from windows) and let it install to your hard drive21:36
tkstkahello.. My graphic workstation went down KDE4 doesnt work.. :C I tried to install Ati drivers the new ones in the ati.com page 8.11 and now it doesnt work.. I need help please I'm now using textbase operating system so if someone could guide me21:36
TerabyteVeinor: yes21:36
kekSlart: because now it just says "right, you need to run low graphics mode" when I start X21:36
fredbloggs12Terabyte no i havent whats a v-machine?21:36
fredbloggs12Jack_Sparrow if i do that will it over write my windows or install aswell as?21:37
dnyyAnyone else getting "502 Proxy Error" on ubuntuforums?21:37
Terabytefredbloggs12 i can't remember the one i use on windows... but you can get a virtual machine from sun systems for free which will let you install ubuntu, and let you run it on your window box at the same time21:37
Jack_Sparrowfredbloggs12 it is designed to setup dual boot as needed..   If you run the live cd you can test drive without ever installng21:37
E4emacs4Virtualbox21:37
spikebikehey can someome verify a firefox bug with a particular URL?  It makes the browser explode to 1.2GB with what is mostly just a text file21:37

VeinorTerabyte: try apt-get installing nvidia-settings anyway21:37
katatsumuriHello there :-) I was wondering if there's a way to change what audio channel gets "controlled" by i.e keyboard shorcuts? Right now, my mute button mutes Master, but I have to mute PCM in order to mute the computer..21:37

Veinorit doesn't look like it explicitly depends on the restricted drivers21:38
fredbloggs12Jack_Sparrow i have already run it from cd, looks good but seems slow, so needed it on hdd21:38
TerabyteVeinor: is there any risk that it will break when i do that?21:38
spikebikeI'm on intrepid21:38
merulaI'm having an issue rsyncing from windows to an ubuntu server that has a shared mounted NAS (ntfs). Anybody wanna tackle that problem?21:38

fredbloggs12Terabyte ok thanks ill have a look into that21:38
kekSlart: i don't care about 3d and proprietary drivers etc, i just want to have a little acceleration so i can try out the flashy effects and Beryl etc21:38
spikebikeit's mostly just a big <pre> block21:38
iztehsuxif my webcam works with applications like cheese, how come it doesn't work with flash based apps?21:38
Jack_Sparrowfredbloggs12 yep, shrink your windows install by 20or 30 gig and let ubuntu install on the hd21:38
Slartkek: hehe.. flashy effects and beryl *is* about 3d.. =)21:38
fredbloggs12Jack_Sparrow lol 20 or 30gig? only got 40gb hdd21:39
TerabyteVeinor: ok, i'll be back tommorow, it was really just a quick question, i have to get back to work ^_^21:39
Veinorah, k21:39
spikebikeand by big I mean 10-15 screens worth, not big as in it should expand firefox by a GB21:39

Veinorno problem; i'll see you tomorrow then21:39
kekSlart: ok :) well i'm booted into the install disc now and there are a lot of effects that i don't get in my installed system so obviously the computer supports something and i have the wrong driver.21:39
mphillspikebike: I'm up to 680 MB of ram21:39

spikebikethe HTML looks very pedestrian21:40
spikebikeyeah I'll file it now21:40
kekSlart: glxinfo says i have direct rendering21:40
Jack_Sparrowfredbloggs12 UBuntu will suggest a size to shrink your windows install and makes you verify that before continuiong21:41
lunaphyte_hi :)21:41
Slartspikebike: mine is still transferring.. oh.. now it finished.. and firefox is back again21:41
fredbloggs12Jack_Sparrow and then creates a new partition?21:41
spikebikemine hits 1.2GB or so then flattens... really strange21:41
Jack_Sparrowfredbloggs12 the installer does all of that21:41
fredbloggs12Jack_Sparrow yes i understand that, but i end up with another partiton?21:42

I've just upgraded to 8.04 and my kaffeine and amarok have lost their restricted codecsw. It can't install libxine1-ffmpeg as it depends on libxine1-bin 1.1.11.1-1ubuntu3 but it keeps upgrading it to the ubuntu3.1 version (which doesn't satisfy the dependancy)21:58

mphillspikebike: I already did21:58
Zehavaone I created21:58
nat2610gavimobile, you just need to rerun the command I told you before with the | grep firefox21:58
gavimobileZehava, chmod21:58

ZehavaI crated it with sudo and so now it's root permissions21:58

gavimobileZehava,  chmod  777 directory -R21:59
Zehavathat will open the directory and all sub's to my normal user?21:59
Jack_SparrowZehava First, check the ownership: Open a terminal and type cd /media ...then type... ls -la ...then, do the following, replacing “yourPartition” with the name of the partition (e.g. /sdb1)... sudo chown -R username:username /media/yourPartition  (On a live system you must create a user name first) followed by... sudo chmod -R 755 /media/yourPartition ... Finally, check to see if it worked by doing another ls -la to verify t21:59
Jack_Sparrowhe permissions are set21:59
gavimobilenat2610, i tried the code u pasted before21:59
nat2610gavimobile, do a dkpg-reconfigure of the package ...21:59
NewtuUbuntumphill ok, I got the launcher to load, which has never been a problem, but if I click "Play" will it still give me feedback in the terminal? because this second step is the one that usually fails21:59
gavimobilesudo dkpg-reconfigure package-name ???21:59
gavimobilelike that21:59
mphillyes, just look at the teriminal window for details21:59
nat2610gavimobile, yes ... like sudo dkpg-reconfigure flash-nonfree or something like that22:00

Dracieroger_ KDE 3.5 or 4?22:11
Linuxnoob100is it okay if i do my swap on my /home drive?22:12
willis__roger_,  you can add icons to the kubuntu kde4 desktop.. but they are trying to get away from a cluttered desktop encviroment22:12
Jack_SparrowLinuxnoob100 yes22:12
aeolienIDENT22:12
roger_i don't use kde4, kde 3.5 is what i used22:12
hajarhi... does any one think that the unsuitable graphical card is the reason for no hibernate?22:12

Jack_Sparrowhajar the drivers for the card are the issue in MANY instances22:13
aeolienIs there any way to disable right-clicking on the panels and desktop?22:13
Linuxnoob100is it okay if i set my swap to 2.9 instead of 1.4?22:13
aeolienOr, entirely?22:13
Jack_SparrowLinuxnoob100 yes22:13
Jack_SparrowLinuxnoob100 anything over 222:13
gregorddumitru: kcontrol not on your machine?22:13
willis__aeolien,  there used to be some kiosk tools that could set up some limitations like that.. but ive never used them..  Not sure why you woudl want to :)22:14
aeolienwillis__: I'm setting up a computer for my grandfather.22:14
dumitrugregord: i've just upgraded on ubuntu 8.1022:14
linksliceaeolien, you sure he wouldn't prefer an old cadillac?22:14
n2diyI used to use a program called Debug, to low level format hard drives with DOS, is there a similar tool for linux?22:14
dumitrugregord: trying to get it : sudo apt-get install kcontrol22:14
Jack_Sparrown2diy you dont low level format these days22:15
aeolienlinkslice: Do you have one for free I could use? :P22:15
Jack_Sparrown2diy gparted is common for partitioning anf formatting22:15
dumitrugregord: E: Package kcontrol has no installation candidate22:15
willis__aeolien,  depends on what all you want to do  with the system I guess.. I dont see hwo disabling the right click helps much.  theres even web-koisk packages you can get that just turn the pc into a web-box22:15
dumitrugregord: Package kcontrol is not available, but is referred to by another package.22:15
dumitruThis may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or22:15
dumitruis only available from another source22:15
dumitruHowever the following packages replace it:22:15
dumitru  kdebase-workspace-bin kdelibs4c2a22:15
FloodBot3dumitru: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.22:15
dumitrugregord: what that mean?22:16
Linuxnoob100for the hard drive to start at boot up, i should leave bootable flag at off right?22:16
dumitrugregord: no more kcontrol on ubuntu 8.10?22:16
aeolienwillis__: I'm just giving him an AWN dock set up with Firefox and Thunderbird.22:16
n2diyJack_Sparrow: ok, will gpartd deal with hidden partitions? That's why I liked the Debug utility.22:16
gregorddumitru: I guess not, although those fonts look fine to me22:17
willis__aeolien,  i find AWN rather buggy. You may be better off with a normal gnome panel, or  just 2 icons on the desktop.22:17
willis__aeolien,  of course if the system is toing to be that limited.. you may want to use some other desktop/window manager.  like JWM or similer.22:17

gavimobilenat2610, for some reason there is a problem with ubuntu connecting to the adobe server.. i found a form on the ubuntu website which told me to download the deb file directly from the adobe website... im checking now to see if it works22:23
hajarikonia.. yes my card is ATI .. the hibernate is not work how to solve this?22:23
luinfanaCould someone by any chance walk me through upgrading to the 2.6.27-10 kernel from the proposed repository?22:23
gavimobilethis is what i found http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-install-adobe-flash-player-10-in-ubuntu-804-hardy-heron.html22:23
dwhsixif I'm creating new partition on existing drive (that has vista) to install ubuntu on, should it be "Primary" or "Logical"?22:24
luinfanaI want to upgrade just the kernel, not everything else...22:24
Jack_Sparrowluinfana Please be sure you need something in proposed... before going to that trouble22:24
Jack_Sparrowdwhsix It can be either.22:24
Entropy51423Hi all, I have a problem or a question rather with Emerald. I changed the window theme to a different theme, but now wish to restore it back to Ubuntu's default theme, but can not seem to figure out how. Does anyone know how?22:24
luinfana@Jack_Sparrow: Yes, I'm absolutely sure, and I'm aware of the risks22:24
nat2610gavimobile, yeah I never had that problem ... I don't know... maybe if you enable in the source.list the last packages it might work better22:24
luinfanait fixes a critical kernel panic issue I'm having22:25
dwhsixJack_Sparrow: thx... any idea why when I set up the root partition, the space I've left over (8GB) for swap is labelled "unusable"...?22:25
gavimobilenat2610, do u have the source.list which i need to add for non-free22:25
Jack_Sparrowdwhsix dont woor about that for now..22:25
amortvigildoes anyone have a good tutorial about getting your windows vista partition to viritual guest in vmware?22:25
dwhsixJack_Sparrow: hmm ok22:26
dwhsixthx22:26
Jack_Sparrowdwhsix possibly a break not on a boundary.. something like that.22:26
gavimobilethe sob still didnt install22:26
nat2610gavimobile, check the one you have, at the end of the file (/etc/apt/source.list) remove the # in front of deb ...22:26
dwhsixJack_Sparrow: but that remaining space will be usable?  I need a swap partition...22:26
dwhsix&^%^&*&^!!!! this time it shows up as 'free space'... weird22:27
Jack_Sparrowdwhsix let the install disk handle the swap.. much easier22:27
luinfanaStill wondering if anyone knows how to cleanly update to 2.6.27-10...22:27
dwhsixbut good22:27
Jack_Sparrownp22:27
hajarJack_Sparrow.. then how to solve the problem of hibernate .. my work always my work is lost22:27

gavimobilelets see whats going on there22:27
Jack_Sparrowhajar nope sorry.. cant help.. you should be able to turn off hibernate and suspend22:28

HikefuPelo: even if he gets it installed, there are other things he needs to do and install to get it working. I sent him some forum threads with a howto, the last one of which should work fine.23:37

Pelodbdii407, dig your manual or find your monitor's speck on the internet , find the refresh rate , that is usualy the problem,  also check the xorg.conf file, if there are resolutions listed under device screen, you might want to add the ones you want manualy23:40

ShapeshifterI've got this LSI 150-4 raid controller with 3 drives attached (2x raid1, 1x hotspare) and I can't get any readings from inside ubuntu. That controller really is a royal pita as there seem to be no working tools beyond kernel 2.4. Does anyone have any clues on how to get readings of hard drive failure or warnings if a drive is degraded?23:53
Dr_Willis64bsdfox,  there are uber-micro linux disrtos out that can do that.. ubuntu may be too big.23:53
