[00:04] pyrophelia: i'm pinging you now [00:04] I already have ubuntu installed, but I'd like to install a different version to another partition. Is there some way I can do this wo/ a CD/USB disk? [00:04] hi, gnutron [00:05] !debootstrap | zachb1 [00:05] zachb1: debootstrap is used to create a !Debian or Ubuntu base system from scratch, without requiring the availability of !dpkg or !APT. It does this by downloading !.deb files from a mirror site, and carefully unpacking them into a directory you can eventually !chroot into. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebootstrapChroot for more information [00:05] gnutron: I uninstall java-common [00:05] zachb1, what different version [00:05] powertool08, how to check which (hd0,x) my vista is installed on? [00:05] arrenlex: not quite... === andatche_ is now known as andatche [00:05] zachb1: What do you need that debootstrap doesn't provide? [00:06] apadox: I just want to install a intrepid in a new partition wo/ removing this one? [00:06] leo_: intrepid or earlier? [00:06] zachb1, why would you wanna do that ? [00:06] kai: I'm pretty sure hd0,0 will work for you, windows always assumes its the first and only partition [00:06] kai: Do you know what drive it's installed on in /dev/? Like /dev/sda2? [00:06] apadox: ...because I don't want to wipe this partition [00:06] hello! I've been breaking my head on a the firefox flashplayer-nonfree flickering on some sites and playing ok on other sites... anyone have a solution for that? [00:07] powertool08, arrenlex, Not sure.. Linux was installed first, thankfully, GRUB was not over-written... I am not sure how to check which drive it was installed on though, [00:07] what folder is /usr/local/bin <--? [00:07] kai: What is the state of the system? Do you have a shell? [00:07] How do I open .bin and .cue files? [00:07] zachb1, so you want 2 intrepids :) .. or you want to move this one on another partition [00:07] apadox: I'm not using intrepid [00:07] ok [00:08] YlandeFaran, what is the bin/cue files of? [00:08] (hardy) [00:08] hi, would you know of an app that can do flash diaporama that i could put on a website after ? [00:08] arrenlex :Both seemed to have installed fine, GRUB won't auto detect VISTA and Ubuntu seems to be working fine. (I'm using it right now to talk to you) [00:08] starcraft + broodwar. I want to play them through wine. [00:08] zachb1, you need ubuntu cd .. when you boot it and it gets to partition manager go to manual [00:08] YlandeFaran, ok you can either extract the bin file.. or mount it [00:08] I found a usefull wine-guide, but in that guide they use real cds, mine broke down many years ago. :) [00:08] I can make the partition just fine [00:08] apadox: the problem is actually installing it [00:08] !bin | YlandeFaran [00:08] Sorry, I don't know anything about bin [00:08] choose partition you wanna use and delete it, create a new partition and format it as / zachb1 [00:08] YlandeFaran, one sec [00:09] gnutron: sorry ? [00:09] how bad are the ATI linux drivers? [00:09] zachb1: Sorry, dunno if you replied to this -- what do you need that debootstrap doesn't do? [00:09] jpds, not as bad as made out to be [00:09] Hey folks - any takers on this kernel-related problem? http://pastie.org/330424 I apologize for bursting in here and being so brief in framing the question, but I've been hacking at this for quite some time and I'm exhausted :) [00:09] arrenlex: Maybe it would work. [00:09] jpds, at the same time.. what works for me may not work for you... go for it [00:10] leo_: which version of ubuntu are you running [00:10] Paddy_EIRE, thanks [00:10] YlandeFaran, right click the bin file and choose "Extract here" [00:10] zachb1: The ubuntu installer (ubiquity) is also available as a package, you might be able to just install that package and launch the installer again. [00:10] i get this error http://paste.ubuntu.com/80079/ when i try to run a game .. i have installed ati drivers but seems like they are not working [00:10] jpds, sure [00:10] gnutron: 8.10 [00:11] how do we del cmd manual in MAN? [00:11] installed insed windows [00:11] inside [00:11] apadox: What does it say when you do "glxinfo | grep ender"? Both lines. [00:11] how do we del cmd manual in MAN? [00:11] arrenlex render* [00:11] Okay, think I got it.. [00:11] Paddy_EIRE: No, I ender. [00:12] O_o [00:12] Paddy_EIRE: Alternatively, grep -i render, but that's longer to type. [00:12] heh [00:12] arrenlex, direct rendering: Yes [00:12] OpenGL renderer string: ATI MOBILITY RADEON X700 [00:12] hola [00:12] alguien que este en linea [00:12] anyone good with editing the FSTAB?

[00:13] exodus_ms: Nah, it's onboard, and unfortunately the server is a 1U and the only PCI slot is being taken up by a RAID card. [00:13] apadox: Yeah, your acceleration's fine... dunno, then. Sorry. [00:13] !anyone | bdelin88 [00:13] bdelin88: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? [00:14] arrenlex, do you know where could i look for help? [00:14] So I can't replace it with something nicer, like an Intel card. [00:14] apadox: Short of googling that error message, with sdl and ati mobility, no. Sorry. [00:14] If I set my desktop effects to none, will that turn compiz off? [00:14] Paddy_EIRE: That did not work, no application avaliable to do that. I probably don't have the right application installed. I can, however burn out them to a CD by klicking the .cue files and use "Brasero disk burner" [00:14] droopsta915_: Yes, it will go back to metacity. [00:14] leo_: try apt-get install sun-java6-jre [00:14] how do I prevent Bluetooth from being activated on startup? I have to be hitting the Fn+wireless keys on my thinkpad to turn it off after startup. [00:14] thanks [00:15] rgsteele||work> looks like you have done your homework, routing tables and IP's all resolve with dns. I thought that maybe you installed a new nic with an old ip addressed to it [00:15] leo_: you might need to restart X windows. not sure of that. [00:15] ubottu shhh [00:15] Sorry, I don't know anything about shhh [00:16] Hello. Does any Forgotten Realms game exist for Ubuntu? [00:16] exodus_ms: Nah. PXE booting during an automated installation.

I need to know a simple and gnome interface application development tools to creat linux base apps, anyone know of any? [00:19] SSH is the Secure SHell protocol. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSHHowto for usage. Putty is a nice SSH client for Windows; it can be found at http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/ [00:19] omg i think i broke ubottu lol [00:19] !ssh server [00:19] Sorry, I don't know anything about ssh server [00:19] bdelin88: you need openssh-server, search ssh in synaptic, itsa must have imho. [00:20] gnutron: could you take a look in the purge error that i had here ? [00:20] no i was telling ubottu to "shush!" lol [00:20] dr_willis: What's the point of releasing a new Wine version, if it produces new bugs (such bugs, as inabilities to even start some programs that worked before). [00:20] ? [00:20] mezquitale: thank you :) [00:20] Hi there, I'm building a basic computer that will run apache and serve files for our small office. I am familiar with Ubuntu Desktop but in this case should I go for Ubuntu Server or is it more designed for actual websites and heavy-duty pc's? This pc only serves an office of 5, so traffic is not that heavy (but it's serving data all the time from 9-6pm :-) [00:20] Can anyone comment on how Ibex is working out, I d hate to upgrade, since it requires that I reinstall some of my faves, Like Kiba Dock and others. [00:20] gnutron: http://paste.ubuntu.com/80086/ [00:20] but is half portuguese half english [00:20] leo_: ok [00:20] hellooo! I need to know a simple and gnome interface application development tools to creat linux base apps, anyone know of any?

If you install ubuntu-desktop and then install apache on it, you get the same effect. [00:22] hey, has anybody uesd wicd instead of network manager? it seems it's having trouble finding a hidden network [00:22] is the EasyLink Advisor for linux?? [00:22] arrenlex: ah, I didn't know that. That's good enough then, I'll just install Desktop :-) [00:22] mezquitale: Is there a workaround for that? [00:22] need a hand installing display driver [00:22] IEs4Linux will not load radio.yahoo.com :( I CAN'T BELIEVE I HAVE TO VMWARE TO LISTEN TO YAHOO RADIO [00:22] anyone using IEs4Linux?

[00:23] leo_: you have a problem open synaptic and choose fix broken packages, i also suspect your sources list is whacked [00:23] anyone ever used clonezilla and DRBL(multicast pxe mode) to clone ubuntu? [00:23] RedWar, there's probably a way around to that, I haven't got the time to try it, it works fine on the library though other than that, I don't have any complaints, firefox looks different, it looks a little better for me, not bad [00:23] bdeline: Thanks, I d like to look into it. [00:23] someone know how set a local wiki? [00:24] Does exim run by default on Ubuntu? [00:24] or where I can found some documentation? [00:25] bdelin88: I use Ies4Linux on Hardy, but it refuses to work with CNBC PLUS, but that is because its bloody propietary! [00:25] anyone know the best application dev tool to make linux based apps??! [00:25] Is there any way to set up a serial loopback between two port software side using ubuntu?

[00:26] vassler→ i recommend you start with the Python programming language. it works well with ubuntu and there are good guides for it on the net [00:26] vassler, Python Is a good lanugage to start with. Its handy [00:27] RedWar: me [00:27] Was that you Dasei? [00:27] DasEi: I want to set a local wiki [00:27] Ok [00:27] I have a P4 that supports hyper-threading, but only 1 CPU shows up in /proc/cpuinfo and gkrellm. I want to make sure it is hyperthreading. There are no cpu options in my BIOS. [00:28] I have never been able Dasei to get dual screen to work on Hardy, is it easier on Ibex? [00:28] israel: still don't understand, a wiki on your local machine ?

[00:32] I need help with editing xorg.conf for screen resolution and boot list [00:33] netbeans newest release now supports c++ development, [00:33] vassler: Python is a programming language. What do you mean by python having a gnome version? [00:33] no help.... [00:33] bluelist: sure, pastebin your xorg for me [00:33] israel: for sure there is sth, as some wiki servers also run ubuntu, basically will need a apache or sth similar and then could also serve html from that [00:34] Dracie: thanks gimmie a sec [00:34] oh sorry, i need some kind of visual basic kind of help to application development [00:34] vassler: So, eclipse.

[00:35] to learn [00:35] just to make sure it is more than a touchpad thing [00:35] vassler: There's also anjuta and kdevelop and more for specific languages, all of which are good IDE. [00:35] it is. [00:35] Regular mice work === bitFish is now known as Bitfish [00:35] can I have the link to the pastbasin?

I log in via SSH, but want to see if others have tried too. [00:37] D-MAN sorry have not messed with any of those. [00:37] DasEi: there is a kind of wiki for local pcs too named instiki, but I can't find how get it for ubuntu [00:37] ##linux [00:37] ##windows [00:37] #bash [00:37] D-MAN: You will need the proprietary ATI drivers, nothing free supports that card.

My home partition is reporting to be full at only 1.8 GB. But I know that it's 3.5 GB! What's going on here? How can I fix it?

[00:39] sry [00:39] Dracie np, please go ahead and continue with him [00:39] D-MAN: backup xorg.conf d/l the catalyst-suite (ati-hp), put it to /usr/src , sudo sh it, reboot [00:39] <[TiZ]> Ah, wait... I'm looking in GParted and it's saying that 2.7 GB is in use... that sounds more right. But the disk usage analyzer says that only 1.8 GB is in use. Why the discrepancy? [00:39] that's silly israel [00:39] see you [00:40] now look up "home wiki exploits" [00:40] haha [00:40] TiZ in a terminal type df -h [00:40] hotte-: Yes, I have used ad-hoc with that card using iwl3945. [00:40] Hi...anyone here use Empathy on intrepid? [00:40] arrenlex: does it say you have direct rendering though? [00:40] arrenlex, damn :( may you can help me in querry a bit? [00:40] [TiZ]: no discrepancy really you have to remember 5% of that 3.5 GB's is being used for root [00:40] hotte-: What isn't working? [00:40] <[TiZ]> Dracie: df -h says that home is 3.3GB. 2.8 is in use. And 400M is free. [00:41] TiZ - there you go... you can expand that partition if you need to [00:41] <[TiZ]> kitche: So 5% of 3.3 GB translates to 1GB of space not accounted for by the disk usage analyzer? [00:41] Dracie: Not me, you mean bluelist. I was just pointing stuff out. :) [00:41] You can change that 5% reserved [00:41] haha, why silly?, you can have your own wiki in your intranet [00:41] =P [00:41] I'm using empathy on intrepid, and I whenever I call a gtalk contact, the mic/vol. is grayed out and no ring tone sounds. Any ideas? [00:41] [TiZ]: more like it guesses just like free does most of the time [00:42] Dracie: .... :~$ glxinfo | grep direct [00:42] direct rendering: No (If you want to find out why, try setting LIBGL_DEBUG=verbose) [00:42] OpenGL renderer string: Mesa GLX Indirect [00:42] <[TiZ]> I'm trying to free up space in /home, in case it wasn't obvious.

[00:42] bluelist: thx [00:42] israel : why don#t you just set up a fileserver accesible only via dmz ? [00:42] [TiZ]: I'm guessing /home is an entirely separate partition? [00:42] <[TiZ]> xat_: Yep. [00:42] [TiZ] sudo apt-get clean [00:43] then things like apt-get clean wouldn't affect that partition, I imagine [00:43] <[TiZ]> Dracie: That didn't help any. === leo_ is now known as leo_-away [00:43] I'm having a lot of kernel panics since the upgrade to 2.6.29-9 on Intrepid...booting from a live CD and looking at my logs, it doesn't look like there's anything unusual in any of them. Any thoughts on where I should look for something that might be useful for a bug report, or a link to an open bug report? [00:43] D-MAN: open a terminal... [00:43] ok, does on anyone have a gtalk account on a win box? I just need to do a quick audio test. [00:44] [TiZ]: does that home have a single user? [00:44] DasEi kk [00:44] <[TiZ]> xat_: Yep, just me. [00:44] bluelist: have you installed the appropiate drivers? [00:44] * leo_-away as the terminator says: I'll be back [00:44] D-MAN: sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg_working [00:44] DasEi: because I want to use the wiki for share some documentation on how to do things by the team [00:44] we already have a fileserver [00:45] israel : so simply allow the users to change the files [00:45] how do I do that [00:45] remind me what card you got, i forgot [00:45] D-MAN: go to ati hp , find your driver [00:46] yeah, this is another option, both are ok [00:46] hm [00:46] DasEi tried that but it didnt do anything [00:46] either you need fglrx or the open source ati drivers [00:46] D-MAN: it did... [00:46] Dracie: No foss drivers for that card. [00:46] D-MAN: d/l 'ed driver ? [00:46] kk thx arrenlex [00:46] [TiZ]: hm. can't say I have the answer. maybe run disk usage analyzer as root to see if there's anything it isn't picking up under regular user mode [00:46] so... [00:47] all depend of the propose [00:47] how do i install one of these... [00:47] bluelist: go into System -> Administration -> hardware drivers [00:47] DasEi lamens terms please im newb! [00:47] http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=153722&package_id=170564&release_id=628658 [00:47] see about enabling drivers [00:47] I'm using empathy on intrepid, and I whenever I call a gtalk contact, the mic/vol. is grayed out and no ring tone sounds. Any ideas? [00:47] D-MAN: go to ati homepage , find your driver [00:47] anyone know how to install one of these or which one i should install (barry for my blackberry): http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=153722&package_id=170564&release_id=628658 [00:47] Anybody have any idea where nm-applet stores WEP keys? I want to back up that file before I reformat [00:48] how can I check what ports I have open? [00:48] <[TiZ]> xat_: Okay then. Thanks. [00:48] DasEi allready did yhat it did nothing [00:48] don: I think you need to check your iptables. [00:48] I'm new to linux, how do I do that? [00:48] don: you could always nmap yourself [00:48] how do i install or configure a .deb file, anyone? [00:49] Would anyone be able to tell me why sound doesn't play from firefox? (so like youtube and such), but occasionally it does. And VLC plays sound, but once I open firefox and attempt to play sound, VLC no longer will (until, I think, I close firefox and re-open it)? [00:49] don: You could just do "sudo nmap localhost" [00:49] don: I'm new, too. I'm sure someone else here knows the cmd to run from terminal. [00:49] bdelin88: double click, but what are you trying to install [00:49] russell thank you, installing nmap now [00:49] RequinB4: http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=153722&package_id=170564&release_id=628658 [00:49] D-MAN: its on the desktop now ? [00:49] don, I think it's possible that you will have some ports open to localhost that are not available to any other users [00:49] *hosts [00:50] russell I need to open a port if it's not [00:50] mikebot: I read on some of the forums about something related to pulseaudio. [00:50] bdelin88: download the appropriate deb for your architecture and version and double click on it. Its not in the repos [00:50] don, that should tell you then. [00:50] tiyowan: Do you happen to have a link? [00:50] okay yeah, shows only 2 ports open, how do I open another? [00:50] DasEi no [00:50] RequinB4: i don't see one for intrepid, should i get closest version? and it says i am missing "libbarry0" i think [00:50] D-MAN: where did you put it ? [00:51] don, unless you've installed a firewall or something, the only way to "open" a port is to run the app that expects to use it. [00:51] DasEi did it on a previouse hard drive [00:51] okay I'll give that a shot [00:51] How will we get vendors like Konami, Blizzard and BioWare to write (or just port) games for Linux? :-( [00:51] mikebot: Hang on. [00:51] D-MAN: path ? [00:51] RequinB4: it says "Error: Dependency is not satisfiable: libbarry0" [00:51] :_-( [00:51] tiyowan: Thanks, I appreciate it. [00:51] mikebot: if your using pulse audio you will have issues when using different sound outputs [00:51] bdelin88: you can download that deb from teh same source you just gave me [00:51] Okay, must be that the program isn't running yet. Thanks [00:51] rgr [00:52] DasEi new install other drive was corrupt [00:52] D-MAN: so d/l it to desktop then ... [00:52] tiyowan: Dracie: It looks like I want to 'killall pulseaudio', but then there is a memory leak or something? [00:52] Dracie: Is there a way for me to not use pulseaudio? [00:52] <[TiZ]> xat_: Found it. [00:52] DasEi wich one do i download? [00:52] <[TiZ]> It was a huge iso I had deleted as root [00:52] anyone else notice that Ibex takes up a lot of memory? [00:53] mikebot: Yep. killall pulseaudio should do the trick. [00:53] How will we get vendors like Konami, Blizzard and BioWare to write (or just port) games for Linux? :-( [00:53] mikebot: of course, but you will still have issues [00:53] amikrop, dont hold your breath. [00:53] tiyowan: According to the following site, people had memory leak issues with killing pulseaudio: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pulseaudio/+bug/202089 [00:53] amikrop: get more users to linux is what you have to do [00:53] amikrop: blizzard already does well sort of [00:54] amikrop: the same way you get laws past. Get a lot of people to agree with you, use linux, and tell them its in their own interest [00:54] amikrob a majority of people to complain and write in to them would be what it would take [00:54] amikrop, if they thought they could make a profit from it.. vs the cost of doing so.. they would.. [00:54] it's simply demand, there is virtually no demand for linux gaming... and too much risk [00:54] Dracie: So there is no way to not have issues? [00:54] <[TiZ]> How is there risk? [00:54] amikrop: considering that ID ports games over to Linux all the time which is part of Blizzard [00:54] i am having problems with my flash player working on firefox, we have updated and installed all adobes and javascript is turned on in firefox, any help??? [00:54] bc there is no demand :) [00:54] mikebot: i don't know, but i'm guessing VLC uses OSS or something by default and flash in ffox uses alsa [00:54] !flash [00:54] 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 [00:55] Dracie: Are either of those two things related to pulseaudio? [00:55] [TiZ]: if there's no guaranteed sales, they risk losing a lot of money taking the time to port and test their games [00:55] TiZ they have to spend the money to code it and port it and the man hours. If not enough people on linux use the product, they've wasted alot of money and time. [00:55] I am having sound related issues in Hardy ... sound just stops working all of a sudden and I have to reboot to get it back on [00:55] mikebot: read up on pulseaudio [00:55] !pulseaudio | mikebot [00:55] mikebot: PulseAudio is a sound server intended as a drop-in replacement for !ESD - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PulseAudio for information and installation instructions [00:55] mikebot: The issue seems to be with pulseaudio and gnome-power-manager. [00:55] <[TiZ]> I see. Okay then, thanks for that explanantion. :) [00:55] plus they have to set up tech support for it [00:55] Well, Linux has to really get to market share. [00:56] I am quite angry about this. [00:56] Dracie: Thanks [00:56] mikebot: The bug report says that the gnome-power-manager memory leak problem got fixed in a recent Deb update. [00:56] tiyowan: ALright, I'm just going to try it. [00:56] and linux is still at the stage where 70% of it's new user base has no idea what they are doing :) [00:56] amikrop: how do you think MAC feels? [00:56] tiyowan: Oh, good. Thanks. [00:56] bdelin88: don't know === heret1c1 is now known as heret1c [00:56] it's a really simple matter of DIRECTX really... [00:56] Bah! if you want games get an Xbox or PS3. Period. [00:56] amikrop, !offtopic [00:56] micro$oft controls directx [00:56] Does anyone have a spare Gtalk account they're using on Pidgin or Empathy or even Windows/Gtalk? [00:56] !offtopic [00:56] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [00:56] no it's not hikefu [00:57] I just need to add you as a contact and test my audio. It seems to be on the blink. [00:57] This is for support. [00:57] we're talking about ubuntu and games working on ubuntu :) [00:57] I don't say that Linux is perfect, but Windows is much more worse, in every aspect... [00:57] hi [00:57] any IM programs for linux that can connect to FB? [00:57] !hi [00:57] Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! [00:57] Compiters are tools.. tools are not perfect. :P [00:57] I don't care, I just like using ! [00:57] lol [00:57] Prez00: What's FB? [00:57] Dracie [00:57] can some one help me with wi-fi driver [00:58] Football [00:58] !!help [00:58] Hi! I'm #ubuntu's favorite infobot, you can search my brain yourself at http://tinyurl.com/5zfb6t - Usage info: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBots [00:58] !wifi [00:58] Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [00:58] tiyowan: Ah wonderful, it worked. [00:58] Prez00: Oh no, not facebook you mean. :-) === Pici` is now known as Pici [00:58] omg ubottu shut ur face plz :) [00:58] tiyowan: :-) [00:58] Why does enabeling Compiz "Extra effects make my desktop go grey? [00:58] tiyowan: Thanks very much for your help [00:58] ubottu, is fun to play with , but there is a channel for that i believe its #Ubuntu-bot or something :) [00:58] trying to install newest version of adobe and gdebi installer is giving me i386 error any help?? [00:58] Prez00, hold on [00:58] lol [00:58] Cy: bc something is not set up right [00:58] mikebot: Reading up on the bug reports should point in the direction of a permanent fix. I think a simple update should do the trick. np. [00:58] If I want to run a .exe file in linux, does "wine file.exe" work, or do I have to place the file in some special directory first? [00:59] Dumb question, but when in Firefox or any other application, how can I type in unicode characters assuming I know the unicode value? [00:59] well thanks BARRY for not working [00:59] YlandeFaran: that should work [00:59] Prez00, install this http://code.google.com/p/pidgin-facebookchat/ [00:59] YlandeFaran wine file.exe should work fine [00:59] Any Help appreciated :) [00:59] ~hi [00:59] RequinB4 i read this but i have another type of problem i try to found [00:59] Hikefu: coolness, will try it out, thanks [00:59] Hikefu: You wouldn't happen to know any good apps for voice chatting on Gtalk? [00:59] bdelin88: Any help appreciated :) [01:00] umaxim: provide more details [01:00] I'm having a lot of kernel panics since the upgrade to 2.6.29-9 on Intrepid...booting from a live CD and looking at my logs, it doesn't look like there's anything unusual in any of them. Any thoughts on where I should look for something that might be useful for a bug report, or a link to an open bug report? [01:00] tiyowan, at the moment, I'm quite certain that it's not supported. [01:00] Cy: lol i don't even know what i am doing tbh [01:00] my driver writu to me thar driver turn of but stay use and i can not activate it [01:00] So, Microsoft did a huge, imperialistic marketing movement, and owned the 90% of the market share. Now, we (= users that have realized that Windows sucks) have to suffer the consequences: NO support from many big software and hardware vendors... :-( === don is now known as zehava [01:00] Is there a way to make windows open bottom center instead of top left, by default? [01:01] Hikefu...hmm....ok. [01:01] That's just unfair. [01:01] amikrop, that sounds about right :( [01:01] amikrop: on the bright side, it has made our installation and free driver libraries a lot better [01:01] Does any one know how to remove the proprietry ATI drivers, cause my problem started aftre updateing :( [01:01] Hikefu: I couldn't interest you in a little experiment could I? [01:01] I just don't want to use Windows. We live in a democratic society. Why don't Gamer-makers and Hardware-makers think of me? [01:01] tiyowan, from what I have read, it may be supported natively in gmail in the future, but who knows when that will be. You might look into voice chat and jabber. [01:01] amikrop: you have to give their marketing guys credit though...no other company could convince people not only that they're going to buy crap, but also that they like it :) [01:01] amikrop: Dual-boot? [01:01] D-MAN: have it down ? [01:01] amikrop, no you live in a capitolistic society [01:02] they think of the money [01:02] tiyowan, such as? [01:02] amikrop, where people do what will cost them the least and make them the most money [01:02] can I see a healthy copy of someones Xorg.conf [01:02] amikrop, democracy has nothing to do it with [01:02] with it* [01:02] bluelist: that file is pretty much useless with new versions of X and it will vary from box to box [01:02] Cy: good luck getting anything to work with ATI, ATI does not support linux drivers... nvidia on the other hand does [01:03] bluelist: what is your problem [01:03] Hikefu, well, could you install empathy on your sys and run a quick test with me? I need to track down what I think is an audio prob. [01:03] ok well the ps2 is connecting successfully but when it tries to authenticate it says the dns server didn't respond [01:03] has anyone installed barry before? [01:03] bdelin88: Running ATI drivers right now on intrepid. [01:03] hey while installing my new printer i dont seem to be seeing my printer version...but i do see other versions [01:03] OK. So the solution is that Linux has to get in the market share, as in 30%. That will shake Game-makers and Hardware-makers... [01:03] tiyowan: with compiz enabled? [01:03] I followed the firestarter shared connection guide [01:03] RequinB4: I need to change my boot list order and countdown and add screen resotutions [01:03] hey while installing my new printer i dont seem to be seeing my printer version...but i do see other versions...can anyone plzz help me [01:04] bdelin88: But it was working fine till I updated? [01:04] tiyowan, sorry, I would, but I run openbox without gnome and installing empathy and it's accompanying dependencies drags a lot of unwanted files onto my system. [01:04] got a problem configuring the network card,. anybody help... [01:04] bluedusk, to edit the boot order edit /boot/grub/menu.lst [01:04] but I'm afraid I may have made a few mistakes because my computer is not connected to the modem, but to another router [01:04] LjL> ping? [01:04] bdelin88: Yes, absolutely. With all the bangs and whistles. [01:04] Hikefu: np [01:04] amikrop: yes but then we are still dealing with the same directx problem i think, microsoft still holds the bread and butter for gaming platforms [01:04] Well, we MUST do something to make more and more people use Linux. Can't they see it? Windows just sucks... [01:04] anyone else have an Intel Corporation 82801G (ICH7 Family) High Definition Audio Controller and have it actually working well in ibex [01:04] tiyowan: nice :) quite a lot of improvement then since I tried on my laptop with ati a while back, good news :) === NeoPiP is now known as NeowiN [01:05] Anyone can provide some LTSP help? [01:05] bdelin88: If Linux gets into the market share, then, games will be ported to OpenGL... [01:05] got a problem configuring the network card,. anybody help... [01:05] bluelist: can't help with boot list order, but new X doesn't use xorg.conf for screen res, it actively checks what is allowed by your driver. You can try and reconfigure xorg with dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [01:05] Cy: updated intrepid? My nvidia crashed as well, I just reinstalled the drivers and let it update kernel/xorg and good to go [01:05] !ask | lippy [01:05] lippy: 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. :-) [01:05] can someone help me with mplayer? [01:05] Win32 LoadLibrary failed to load: avisynth.dll [01:05] Because the companies' target group will use OpenGL. [01:05] !pm | umaxim [01:05] umaxim: Please ask your questions in the channel so that other people can help you, benefit from your questions and answers and ensure that you're not getting bad advice. Please don't PM a user in the channel without asking first, some find it rude. [01:05] bdelin88: It works beautifully. The default install auto-detects the card and lists proprietary drivers as well. [01:05] hey while installing my new printer i dont seem to be seeing my printer version...but i do see other versions...can anyone plzz help me [01:05] nighthawk08 whats the story [01:05] amikrop: but opengl is not near as wonderful :) [01:05] greenmanspirit: should work with alsa [01:05] tiyowan: nice :D [01:05] Has anyone tried ubuntu 8.10? [01:05] bdelin88: what do you mean? [01:05] hello [01:05] tuxdroidfan, are you looking to get mplayer support for windows? This isn't the place go to #mplayer [01:05] bdelin88: No Hardy :) [01:05] I can't play movie from my usb? [01:05] amikrop, I love linux, but remember, having multiple OSs sparks competition that is great for everyone. [01:06] RequinB4: ok i will know [01:06] renegade420, lots of people have [01:06] amikrop: Why not just dual-boot? [01:06] amikrop: i just always see better frames with directx games [01:06] When a try to play a movie from the usb [01:06] show me this error [01:06] heogen, what do you mean? explain your problem [01:06] I don't know if I'm using "new X" [01:06] Hikefu: Yes, if everyone used multiple OSes, then yes. [01:06] renegade420, tried it, didnt like it, went back to 8.04 as fast as i could :) [01:06] could not determine type of stream [01:06] Can't get ltsp-build-client to work after upgrading from Ubuntu 8.04 to 8.10. Problems with dpkg configure of hal package. [01:06] bluelist, are you using 8.04 or 8.10 if you're using 8.10 then you're using the new x [01:06] heogen: what file type [01:06] bdelin88: Well, OpenGL can be improved... [01:06] 8.04 [01:06] amikrop: Personally I read that Vista tanked badly, most of the corp. aren't even considering using it. They'll probably shift to Win. 7 when it RTMs. [01:06] RequinB4: my problem this i can not activate my wifi card it write to me that it turn of but stay use and doesn not activate [01:06] nighthawk08? [01:07] hey while installing my new printer i dont seem to be seeing my printer version...but i do see other versions...can anyone plzz help me [01:07] bluelist, then you're using the old x configuration [01:07] amikrop: it's been around and "improving" forever lol [01:07] sjwalters: I am trying to configure the network card,. but without success, it isn't being showed in the ifconfig as well no eth0 [01:07] I trying to play a movie with Totem [01:07] amikrop, plus, remember, without windows, we couldn't be selfrighteous linux users [01:07] :) [01:07] from my usb [01:07] heogen, right I get that but what is the file type what is the error you're getting [01:07] umaxim: what is the output of lspci | grep Network [01:07] bdelin88: Especially, if nVidia and stuff take the Linux thing more seriously [01:07] heogen, I need more information then "the movie won't play" [01:07] DarkKnight: then most likely your printer is not supported but could be supported by using another version I know that's how some HP printers work [01:07] heogen, the more specific you can make your question the better [01:07] Well would anyone recommend ubuntu 8.10 for the eee pc 701 series? [01:07] Hikefu: why not? [01:07] can i speak here? [01:07] ok let me put it again [01:07] jeswhy, sure, just ask questions [01:08] amikrop: linux, even though it is very nice right now, just still isn't "there" for the typical user [01:08] bdelin88: why not? [01:08] nighthawk08 what kind of card do you have? [01:08] It took a long while for nVidia and ATI to get their act together for Windows as well. [01:08] amikrop, windows makes me feel good about using linux [01:08] Hello! [01:08] Besides driver support is *horrible* in Vista. [01:08] kitche; that's a wiered answer....i just can't buy any printer...possibly i have to make changes to coding [01:08]  jeswhy: ubuntu-related, yup [01:08] Hikefu: The more i learn how to be a poweruser in windows the more I'm able to make it look like linux. [01:08] bdelin88, why not? that depends on who you ask. I've installed ubuntu on my mothers computer she is completely computer illiterate and finds it easier to use then XP [01:08] sjwalters: some sort of ethernet card,. do not know the exact brand... [01:08] when I open ogle the error is [01:08] amikrop: well yes you can take a bunch of steps to make it looks nice and things like that, but it looks very ugly out of the box imo, they need things like screenlets and awn packaged right into it [01:08] Hikefu: :P [01:08] heogen: install VLC and open it with that [01:09] renegade420: Just try out the os with a liveCD on your system. [01:09] nighthawk08: are you running linux right now? [01:09] ERROR[ogle_nav]: faild to open/read the DVD [01:09] file_selector_change_root: DVDSetDVDRoot: Root not set [01:09] bdelin88, aesthetics have nothing to do with useability [01:09] slayton: lol that is because she hasn't tried installing anything yet :) [01:09] RequinB4: its write to many i just begin use ubuntu and stay study how all work [01:09] bdelin88: That's mostly a marketing issue. [01:09] on the other machine, ye, I am trying to connect it to the web and lan... [01:09] bdelin88, um.. have you talked to her? No you havne't I showed her how to use synaptic and she is doing fine [01:09] does anyone know how to fix a sound issue in Hardy? [01:09] slayton: agreed, but the average computer user likes aesthetics :) [01:09] RequinB4, you're right. With the proper knowledge and effort well spent, both systems can be made to both reflect and suit your own needs. I have nothing against either OS. [01:09] bdelin88: Out of the box image of the product, is marketing. [01:09] RequinB4: but it is does not show my card [01:09] !ask zetheroo [01:09] Sorry, I don't know anything about ask zetheroo [01:09] umaxim: what card do you have [01:09] bdelin88, but asthetics don't mean anything why do you think people are downgrading from vista to XP [01:09] !ask | zetheroo [01:09] thank you, but would like to use too ogle [01:09] zetheroo: 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. :-) [01:10] Aesthetics can be changed. [01:10] asthetics don't make up for a crappy experience bdelin88 [01:10] slayton: Agreed. I did that. [01:10] RequinB4: linksys WUSB300N [01:10] slayton: yes, but what if it is not synaptic, what if she has to compile or configure from the command line? [01:10] hi, i have downloaded Songbird 1.0, how do i install it on Ibex? thanks.

[01:10] bdelin88, well the _average_ user doesn't need to do that then! [01:10] nighthawk08: so you have two network cards?

I'd recommend you try the 2400 drivers, just get it up and running, and search the Ubuntu forums for anyone else with that model. [01:30] i have a kernel problem! [01:30] filthpig: conclusion - upgrade and it'll work better, but there's nothing about wine or ubuntu that would make you choose a different card than the one you'd normally upgrade too [01:30] hmm [01:30] or you can look in hwinfo [01:30] my ipw2200 don't work with the latest intrepid kernel.. why?

[01:47] tyspage, tell ty about ubuntu [01:47] aww [01:47] ty, i run my own webservers [01:47] filthpig, thats really weird I didn't think that mp3s supported that high of bitrate.... its probably trying to do a lossless compression thats why the files are soo big [01:47] me too [01:47] when i start firefox i lose my top and lower gnome panels.

I will try that. [01:50] slayton: well Rhythmbox is still saying the song is 46 mb.. I also used soundconverter to convert from flac to mp3 (same album), and those tracks show up in a "normal" size; 5-10 mb [01:50] arrenlex: freezes after a second :-/ [01:50] with the script [01:50] Ferrous, why not just boot to linux, burn a backup of your /home and then re-install [01:50] tiredbones: Turned firefox fullscreen mode off. [01:50] oh [01:50] filthpig, thats what I thought [01:50] tiyowan; u ther [01:50] NotADJ: I will try to find something on ipv6 tunneling [01:50] double click and hit run from terminl [01:50] arrenlex, how did i turn it on? [01:50] chmod it to 755 [01:50] tiredbones: By hitting f11. [01:50] i did that and nothing [01:51] slaytanic, i am running a Wubi install, will that work? i'm unsure how to do it anyway :) [01:51] anfangs: Both Client and Server need IPv6 [01:51] tiredbones: Accidentally, I'm assuming [01:51] arrenlex, ok thanks. [01:51] I'm new to linux how do i install the programs after i download them ? [01:51] i will switch over to ubuntu real quick if you think it will work [01:51] hidzalot: How did you download them? [01:51] NotADJ: does ubuntu server 8.10 support ipv6? [01:51] linuxmain, seen jussi01 [01:51] jussi01 was last seen in #ubuntu 9 weeks 3 days ago saying ''. [01:51] anfangs: You need IPv6, but yes.

[01:53] is there a why to an online resize of a ext3 partition ? [01:53] hidzalot: Use synaptic, flashplayer-nonfree should do it. [01:53] *way [01:53] linuxmain, ubuntu wireless is Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [01:53] nn-main: Okay. [01:53] arrenlex: yes. it wasn't working , but i found a work around. i forgot that my teamspeak was still open. is there any way to run mplayer with other programs? like opera, wine, or teamspeak? [01:53] What is the alternate port for ssh when upgrading using do-release-upgrade [01:53] ok ill try it [01:53] !synaptic > hidzalot [01:53] hidzalot, please see my private message [01:53] :D [01:53] wcdl: hmm i dont exactly know what is wrong with the script i didnt make it jdong had posted it on the ubuntuforums and i just grabbed it [01:53] is there a channel for ubuntu-eee [01:53] ty, that last line I did is how you set data to that bot ... incase you ever need to use it :) [01:53] !info flashplayer-nonfree [01:53] Package flashplayer-nonfree does not exist in intrepid [01:53] sug1: Turning off teamspeak made it work? o_O [01:53] No... === [e]Lement is now known as [eLement] [01:54] !synaptic > ty [01:54] ty, please see my private message === [eLement] is now known as [e]Lement [01:54] Teamspeak hogs up the audio hardware [01:54] could u give me the link to that forum? [01:54] hold on [01:54] hidzalot: you want to install the flashplugin-nonfree package using synaptic. You don't download things manually and install them in general on ubuntu. You install from repositories using synaptic [01:54] s0|:online ? you mean like log-in on a server ? [01:54] arrenlex: yep. i read this some where. that if you have multiple application open when trying to run another application that needs sound may conflict with it [01:54] ,hi , you know how some applications minimise themsleves into the panel in gnome, like skype . is there a package for that, i'm trying to get that in XFCE [01:54] ddgoose: Really? I don't know anything about that software... but it's been a long time I've seen something that wasn't a sound server take exclusive control. Why does it do that? [01:54] hidzalot: If you can't do what jrib said, you can try http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/flash [01:54] jrib: Thank you D: [01:55] :D* [01:55] !help > nn-main [01:55] nn-main, please see my private message [01:55] arrenlex, lame programming [01:55] uhm... I would like to make a bootable copy of the operating system i'm currently on for an external hard drive. I have a guide here, but it's for xp and vista doesnt have the correct files to follow the tut. I am using a Wubi install. guide --> http://www.pendrivelinux.com/2008/10/10/move-wubi-ubuntu-install-to-an-external-usb-drive/ [01:55] ok [01:55] wcdl: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=4041519 [01:55] sug1: Not for many years. alsa has had dmix for forever now, which makes sure multiple applications can use alsa at once and get their sound streams nicely mixed together. === [1]opx is now known as opx [01:55] arrenlex: using SSH to connect to my machine behind a router, is that what is referred to as SSH tunneling? [01:56] Ferrous: you could use dd from a live cd , if external is at least as big as internal [01:56] anfangs: Not exactly... [01:56] hidzalot: this is easier (once you learn about it) and it's also a lot safer since you are installing trusted programs and not downloading random code from the internet! [01:56] anfangs: No. ssh tunnelling is using an ssh connection for other protocols, like running tcp over ssh. [01:56] ok [01:56] ssh user@host -D 8000 is a tunnel. [01:56] arrenlex, you can tell ssh to use a different port instead of port 20 [01:56] when you are using apache where do they store the main html file? i forget. [01:56] 22 [01:56] sug1: ddgoose indicates that teamspeak takes exclusive control of the audio soundcard for some reason. Not much you can do about it if that is the case. I don't know of any other programs other than sound servers which do that. [01:57] arrenlex: i had the same issue with teamspeak, but i found some command to change alsa to another audio format and it worked.... what should i do about my mplaer [01:57] sambagirl1, try #apache [01:57] sambagirl1: default web root in ubuntu is /var/www/ [01:57] thanks [01:57] thanks jribe [01:57] sambagirl1, /var/www [01:57] the external is ten times bigger than the internal hard drive, DasE1. Oi. This keeps getting more and more complicated :P [01:57] anfangs, do you know what ports are available? [01:58] DasE1, I mean like the partition is in use mounted and all [01:58] my ~/Desktop is a symbolic link. When I log in, it uses ~/ as the desktop folder. How do I get it to use ~/Desktop? [01:58] arrenlex: on a side note, how do i install mplayer with gui? sudo apt-get install mplayer-gui *i would like to install it through the terminal [01:58] JasonWoof: are you sure? What does 'ls -ld ~/Desktop/' return? [01:58] sug1: When you run the "gmplayer" command, does it say command not found? [01:58] when I double-click Desktop I see the folder contents, I have write access and everything [01:58] <[e]Lement> ......... [01:58] <[e]Lement> JasonWoof, that doesn't make much sense [01:59] slayton: it's the apartment complex's routers. I do not even know how to tell what ports are available. [01:59] sug1: the mplayer package includes the gui [01:59] <[e]Lement> JasonWoof, your Desktop and your Home are different. [01:59] <[e]Lement> ~/ = Home [01:59] anfangs, you can use nmap to see which ports are open [01:59] Ferrous: very easy, boot to a live cd and use dd like dd if=/dev/sda of=/dev/sdb, then you only have to set boot from usb in bios (and have some time for copy) [01:59] ty: thanks man [01:59] arrenlex: jrib: hahahah never had to use the gui versio of it before. thanks :D [01:59] jrib: drwx------------- ... /home/kelly/Desktop/ [02:00] ill read it later [02:00] jrib: without the / at the end it shows the alias [02:00] eg ends with: Desktop -> /mnt/hostdesktop [02:00] s0|:that won't work, boot to a live cd (f.e. gparted live) [02:00] JasonWoof: ok. So it's not a symlink. It is a different issue. What does this return: gconftool-2 -g /apps/nautilus/preferences/desktop_is_home_dir [02:00] i tried installing with sudo apt get pidgin 2.5.2 and the package want found [02:00] mortuis99: No spaces [02:00] Ferrous: see man dd [02:00] jrib: what? [02:01] mortuis99, sudo apt-get install pidgin [02:01] moruis99: case sensitive and no spaces -you can apt-cache search pidgin for the exact alias next time [02:01] mortuis99: What version of ubuntu? [02:01] hey about pidgin, how can i set it up to autostart? [02:01] JasonWoof: which part wasn't clear? [02:01] jrib: if you put a / after an alias dir, it shows the real dir, not the alias [02:01] HH [02:01] jrib: why would ls print gconftool? [02:01] mortuis99: I told you already that you need to install it from hardy-backports [02:01] mortuis99: 2.5.2 is in backports. [02:01] !backports | mortuis99 [02:01] mortuis99: 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 [02:01] valros: system - prefernces - sessions [02:01] that installs an older ver of [02:01] JasonWoof: it wouldn't... I gave you a new command to run [02:01] k [02:02] mortuis99: pastebin the output of: apt-cache policy pidgin [02:02] slayton: got nmap. trying to use now. [02:02] mortuis99, apt-get update to update your repos. [02:02] !pastebin > mortuis99 [02:02] mortuis99, please see my private message [02:02] jrib: it is definitely a symlink. you gave me the wrong command to test that [02:02] JasonWoof: no, I didn't... [02:03] jrib: this will show the dest dir: "ls -d symlink/" [02:03] jrib: this will show the link: "ls -d symlink" [02:03] Ferrous: http://www.arsgeek.com/2008/01/22/how-to-clone-your-bootable-ubuntu-install-to-another-drive/ , very easy [02:03] linuxmain, karma vim [02:03] vim has karma of 3. [02:03] JasonWoof: show me the command you run and the output that makes you think it is a symlink on pastebin [02:04] JasonWoof: ah, ok. I see what you mean. I didn't realize that [02:04] JasonWoof: so just don't make it a symlink anymore [02:04] slayton: should I just do "nmap [my remote IP]" ? [02:04] hi i am trying to decrypt an email, but it keeps saying; secret key not found... I am sure i have the correct key from the owner... [02:05] jrib: I want my desktop to display a mounted drive. it's mounted at boot time in /etc/fstab [02:05] jrib: seems weird to mount it in my home directory [02:05] i try to execute a binary and it says file not found... but shows up in ls and is executable... any ideas? [02:05] could do that though I guess [02:05] JasonWoof: ls -ld symlink will show if it's a symlink [02:05] JasonWoof: why don't you just make Desktop a directory of its own instead of a symlink? [02:05] ehazlett: Are you running it from the local directory? "./executablefile" rather than just "executablefile" [02:06] <[e]Lement> JasonWoof, you are using Ubuntu correct? [02:06] Hey urgent!!! how do i set sda2 to sda1~??? here: http://i192.photobucket.com/albums/z101/goneburger/Screenshot-8.png [02:06] lipinski: yep, and "ls -dl symlink/" will show the dest dir [02:06] anfangs, you should have an IP like 192.168.X.X or something like that your router will give you an IP... get the IP of another computer and scan _that_ ip. You want your scan to go through your router and to be a scan of inbound traffic [02:06] elpargo: correct [02:06] JasonWoof: or do you want Desktop to be a symlink to the mounted drive? [02:06] jrib http://paste.ubuntu.com/80109/ [02:06] [e]Lement: correct [02:06] anfangs, read the nmap manual ( with man nmap) === slayton is now known as slayton_away [02:06] <[e]Lement> What did you do that's causing it to not show mounted volumes on the desktop? Lol [02:06] JasonWoof, 99% sure that wasn't with me [02:07] windows wont start im not sure why, i think i have to make sda2 turn into sda1!? [02:07] <[e]Lement> Mine always shows mounted volumes, always has. [02:07] jrib: ~/Desktop is a symlink to the mounted drive. If I can, I'd like to keep it that way [02:07] mortuis99: you don't have hardy-backports enabled. Enable them in Software Sources [02:07] elpargo: correct. sorry about that [02:07] <[e]Lement> [e]Lement, [02:07] no biggie [02:07] <[e]Lement> =X [02:07] arrenlex: yes: ./executable [02:07] [e]Lement: That's really easy to turn off, I did it the day I installed this OS [02:07] I succeeded with reinstalling the network card,. now I can see the eth0, in the ifconfig,. though I do not know how to configure it,. any help....? [02:08] <[e]Lement> Aye [02:08] ehazlett: You're sure it's not a broken symlink? What does the command "file ./executable" say about it? [02:08] JasonWoof: so you're saying the symlink is correct however nautilus is displaying ~ instead of Desktop? What did that gconftool-2 command return for you? [02:08] <[e]Lement> I probably could as well, seeing as I have my mounted drives showing up in one of my panels [02:08] im trying to follow this to get it to work: http://pennsylvania.ubuntuforums.com/showpost.php?s=2da3b43852b1e4244d3f0ebe0ee78a7c&p=5952892&postcount=10 [02:08] but i dont really understand it [02:09] arrenlex: not it's not a symlink. it is a executable (binary) i built it with ubuntu and then moved it to another system. i thought it may be a library issue, but the file not found through me off... [02:09] does deleting a partition with fdisk not delete data? [02:09] ehazlett: I am still curious what the command "file ./executable" says. === don is now known as zehava [02:09] i hope not :S [02:09] <[e]Lement> aloode, not according to the poster [02:09] <[e]Lement> But that's a theory I don't want to test [02:09] <[e]Lement> lol [02:09] same [02:09] but im trying to make sda2 to sda1 [02:09] jrib it is enabled [02:10] hwo could i do this? [02:10] arrenlex: will check... [02:10] <[e]Lement> .... [02:10] <[e]Lement> What drive is sda2?

[02:18] <[e]Lement> Maybe you should partition an ext3 partition at about 1 GB in size [02:18] <[e]Lement> And install GRUB there [02:18] jrib: sorry for my reluctance to paste, I had chat running on a different computer, and this computer I'm having desktop troubles with doesn't have a middle click or an insert key [02:18] k [02:18] arrenlex: technically the ubuntu is running in a VM with bridged networking on the server 2008 box [02:18] <[e]Lement> Make sure to set it bootable [02:18] aloode [02:18] zerodevice: if you want to save the crontab to another file (say to transfer to another system, etc.), crontab -l > savefile [02:18] you can get a free windows recovery iso online [02:19] anfangs: Does the ubuntu vm have a unique IP?

[02:19] <[e]Lement> stdin, yeah that can cause problems sometimes. [02:19] JasonWoof: works ok for me, even if I point it to a different partition. Can you get nautilus to display ~/Desktop if you make it a directory (just to debug). Click on your desktop and hit F5 to reload after making changes [02:19] Ah, -a etc?

[02:20] dietwater: tee lets you raise your permissions too, so "echo foo | sudo tee -a /etc/somefile" works [02:20] so you in fact are not sure yourself? [02:20] Well why use that instead of >? [02:20] jrib did that [02:20] because i have searched high and low for it [02:20] and cannot find it [02:20] stdin: that's actually very important [02:20] Ah. [02:20] using google [02:20] jrib: sure. oh, one thing I forgot to tell you, I did boot/login without anything at ~/Desktop once [02:20] D-MAN: then you are done [02:20] arrenlex, thanks so, if i were to make it autoshutdown, what should i do? coz the tutorial says use autoclose.cgi, but i dont have that. and im not good ar pearl as well [02:20] arrenlex: i'm sorry. i lied.

[02:21] I am trying to do a speed test for my broadband and keep being told I need Flash Player. I have just upgraded to Ubuntu 8.10... Can anyone please tell me how to install Flash Player using the Terminal? Thks. [02:21] dietwater: use tee if you want output (say, from echo) to display to stdout AND to the file. Use > or >> if you don't want output to display to stdout, only redirected to file. [02:21] jrib not working when i try to watch you tube [02:21] DavidCanarias: sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree [02:21] Oh, dumb me. Thanks.

I just got a ~ in my terminal [02:22] stdin: Thks I am doing this now. [02:22] jrib: oh, sorry, it reloads when I don't focus the term [02:22] JasonWoof: I meant to click on the desktop and hit f5, so it reloads. What does ~/.config/user-dirs.dirs say for desktop? [02:23] lipinski: Sorry for off-topic, but someone asked me today how you wait for a previous command to finish in terminal then do another. Like pipe but no output->input, just wait for finish [02:23] zerodevice: Do it like this: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-353182.html [02:23] D-MAN: that's kind of vague. pastebin the contents of the page you get when you put "about:plugins" in your address bar [02:23] dietwater: man wait [02:23] lipinski: Like mkdir test then cd test [02:23] lipinski: foo && bar # runs bar if and only if foo completes successfully [02:23] stdin: Terminal tells me its installed so do I have to do anything else please?

[02:24] jrib: so can I just delete my ~/.config and log in again? [02:24] dietwater: command1 && command2 [02:24] Perfect, ty. [02:24] dietwater: it depends on what exactly you are trying to do [02:24] && is at same time correct?\ [02:24] no [02:24] JasonWoof: should be easy enough to just edit the file if you want [02:24] jrib what does that mean? [02:24] !headers | blahblahx [02:24] blahblahx: To install the Linux (kernel) headers, open a terminal and: sudo apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r) To install headers for libraries, you need the accompanying -dev packages [02:24] jrib lamens please [02:24] dietwater: && will only run the nest command if the previous was successful [02:25] Thanks. [02:25] arrenlex , thanks [02:25] arrenlex: is that command one line? [02:25] dietwater: & is to background [02:25] blahblahx: Yes. [02:25] Makes sense, I forgot how similar bash is to c except the awesome use of symbols [02:25] yes I know & thanks =P [02:25] dietwater: command1 & puts command1 into background and you can do other stuff in your shell [02:25] dietwater: command1; command2 runs command2 regardless of whether command1 exited successfully. command1 && command2 only runs command2 if command1 was successful [02:25] <_bk_cutz> Hi! im receiving "No devices detected" at Ubuntu installation.

[02:35] mortuis99: try #pidgin [02:35] k [02:35] joeb3_: i don't have that [02:35] Ricket, i'd recommend it, nvidia should work no problem, 32 bit support is excellent and u can now run flash and java in firefox without jumping through hoops [02:36] mortuis99: i'm having no problem getting onto yahoo w/ an up to date pidgin... are you using a proxy [02:36] [e]Lement: ah, i was jumping in the middle of the converstation [02:36] Ricket: Your biggest problem will probably be flash player compatibility. Most everything else is supported. Yes, you can still use nvidia. Yes, you can run 32-bit programs, but it might be a little painful, I don't think it ships with 32-bit libraries by default [02:36] Ricket: How much RAM do you have? [02:36] Does exim install and run by default on Ubuntu Hardy? Thanks. [02:36] stdin: Did that no problems.

[02:36] joeb3_: 8.10 :) [02:36] DavidCanarias: restart firefox again and see if it shows up [02:36] joelmca: no [02:36] IndyGunFreak no proxy [02:36] Ricket: flash isn't really a problem on 64bit anymore. You won't have a java plugin from sun though (you can use icedtea) [02:37] <[e]Lement> I can haz iceweasel? [02:37] Ricket: You won't really get any benefits from a 64-bit system then... [02:37] mortuis99: thats very strange, i'll ask the obvious, are you sure you're username/password is correct? [02:37] Is there any program in Ubuntu that can handle .mdf/.mds(Alcohol 120%'s file format)? [02:37] Ricket: 64-bit is useful when you have >=4GB of ram [02:37] <[e]Lement> Btw rdw200169, it's cool.

If I just copy what you have typed in the terminal will this work? [02:55] Dreamer3: no I'm not, actually I'm pretty sure it does not.

[03:07] <[e]Lement> My torrent sites are complaining because Azureus is too old [03:07] starhawk: it supresses certain hardare specs to make ubuntu install, most times after the install ubuntu can handle the sys without that [03:07] use transmission [03:07] <[e]Lement> brb [03:07] <[e]Lement> I think I'm gonna upgrade to 8.10 [03:08] Ok..

I only use it to play my mp3z and make CD's from my playlists [03:43] long shot [03:43] Semidios: If that doesn't work, then there must be a reason GNOME wants pulse audio [03:43] anyone know if the RTL8187B works on 8.10? [03:43] mezquitale, exhaile, rythmbox [03:43] all I can find on Google is stuff from like 2007/7.x [03:43] LooieENG: Worth a try! [03:43] If it doesn't work right off the bat, you could always fiddle with stuff [03:44] izinucs, thanks i will try them both [03:44] Maybe make it THINK that it's another similar piece of hardware (like a model that's a year older or something) [03:44] I seem to remember it didn't work on 8.04 [03:44] any change it will work on 8.10? [03:44] lavacano201014, but the failsafe is gnome... and all this stuff worked before I upgraded to intrepid. then i started getting bus errors related to pulseaudio [03:45] Semidios: Well, I don't USE failsafe, so how am I supposed to know that?

What do I need to do so that 'gmake' works? [03:46] lavacano201014, from all i've read failsafe just doesn't launch anything at log in. [03:46] Semidios: New distribution might mean newer version of pulse audio (hopefully a version that DOESN'T screw up your stuff) [03:47] lavacano201014, new distribution is the one that is screwing up my stuff. [03:47] amt2: Use "make install" [03:47] Is Flash naturally a bit slow in linux? [03:47] brb. reboot time [03:47] nimbus, yes [03:47] Semidios: Oh right [03:47] I thought so.
