[00:17] magic_ninja, you want to edit /etc/fstab on your live boot? to what purpose? [00:17] magic_ninja: so what did you allready do? [00:18] did you install a base system allready? [00:18] or what [00:18] mgolisch: i already have the base system installed using debootstrap and i'm in the process of configuring fstab atm, the purpose of this is to learn [00:18] magic_ninja: no idea if there is a tool i allways did it by hand [00:19] worked well on my eeepc [00:19] anybody know abt Makefile.modpost [00:19] i had to go the debootstrap way because of the lack of usb cd or dvd drive [00:19] every time i boot/restart this box, i get "Err2Err3" and if i hit enter right away it will go on the the grub menu and i can boot fine,,fstab here: http://pastebin.com/f6a915e8 [00:19] magic_ninja, you'll have to configure it by hand. [00:20] mgolisch: so can i give you a copy of my fdisk -l and pastebin this up for you guys to check it out? [00:20] magic_ninja: sure [00:20] hi all [00:20] magic_ninja: this may be of help: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab [00:20] i'm having weird issues when mounting a fs using curlftpfs, when I'm using root the files ppears and everything is chmodded 0777 and owned by "dnapoia" [00:21] but as danopia, the mountpoint appears to be chmoded 000 [00:21] silly stupid question.......am adding more terabytes of drive for data storage, been using my old XP drives formatted NTFS.....what's the best formatting to use now that I run linux? [00:21] ronhalfdanr, pure linux? I'd go for ext3. [00:21] ronhalfdanr: debateable, ext3 [00:22] ronhalfdanr, also note that there is no single best thing for a given task. We can only give you our opinions. [00:22] I run mostly linux and when I need to use windows apps I use a virtual machine through VMware server [00:22] question: if I have a core 2 duo, which version do I get? Intel x86 or AMD 64 bits? According to the description, the x86 one seems to be for 32 bits [00:22] hischild: I know there is no "best" just want reliable, fast data transfer [00:22] Schuenemann: how much RAM do you have? [00:22] Schuenemann, unless you need 64bit, i'd go for the normal 32bit version. [00:23] I just turned my laptop on and the configuration applet that is near the clock that lists the various networks (Wired and Wireless ones) is missing. Where can I find it? [00:23] literally just file storage on the new drives [00:23] Chousuke, 1 GB, but might buy 4 [00:23] Schuenemann: hm [00:23] hischild, but this AMD one is both for intel and amd, right? [00:23] Schuenemann: with 4 you should use 64-bit [00:23] ronhalfdanr, it would depend for me. Loads of small files seem to be better handled by XFS, though for normal stuff EXT3 will do fine. === elpargo__ is now known as elpargo [00:23] you can get 4 gigs ram under $100 now a days [00:24] hey, I can't add a new printer for some reason in the printer manager app in ubuntu (latest version) [00:24] yes, about that [00:24] Schuenemann: though be aware of the difficulties with 64-bit distros. not all proprietary stuff is available [00:24] I see [00:24] Chousuke, but that is the AMD version, right? [00:24] Chousuke, Schuenemann, 4gb is just the limit if i remember correctly. And i would still suggest the 32bit, but get PAE or something which will make you run more mem on a 32bit system. [00:24] I tried something else and it said CUPS wasn't running or something [00:24] majority of files are uncompressed .tifs at 12MB but a fair number are around 150MG with a handfull at 650-750MB [00:24] i'd stick with 32 bit myself [00:24] Schuenemann: amd version? [00:25] any suggestoins? [00:25] if anyone can help me install a printer on the lastest version of ubuntu pm me pls. [00:25] Schuenemann: AMD64 is just what the 64-bit x86 extension is called. Intel uses it too === sean is now known as Guest64267 [00:25] latest* [00:25] I'm working on transfering a file that contains iptable rules from one server to another. These rules were not setup by me, and I'm having issues when I run "iptables-restore < file". can somebody tell me what these variables are referring to? http://pastebin.com/m5c1eab27 [00:25] Chousuke, ahhh... that. Thank you. Kind of confusing [00:25] Schuenemann: Intel licenced the stuff from AMD :) [00:25] can anyone help me please? im stumped. [00:26] hehe [00:26] ronhalfdanr, ah yes.

(tomboy is already installed) [00:54] HI folks ... I need some IRC server with Mainframe Emulator ... somebody know? [00:54] ok, when enough people respond to the annoyance, this itself becomes one too ;) [00:54] Why Jaunty Jackalope? [00:54] gnutron: lol with 100% using hardy hmm it is a big gamble then [00:54] That's worse than Intrepid Ibex [00:54] i'm using tomboy E4emacs4. i just want to try this popularapp [00:54] RabidWeezle: did you search in synaptic, try cups-common or any cups package with a ubuntu logo next to it. [00:54] i love Kjots for note taking personally :) [00:54] kk [00:55] moleskine is best for notes [00:55] wers: you might as well enable google notebook on Firefox for the online stuff.. evernote is "ok" but no show stopper [00:55] well, it needs some polish, but regardless, this is fantastic. === Jguy2 is now known as Jguy [00:55] every time i boot/restart this box, i get "Err2Err3" and if i hit enter right away it will go on the the grub menu and i can boot fine,,fstab here: http://pastebin.com/f6a915e8 [00:55] you can make 'books' in kjots too and pages of course (only hitch with kjots, it will install a few KDE libs im certain of that) [00:56] btoogood: yeah, its a gamble i'm not taking and i rarely refuse a challenge. [00:57] Anacranom: the first line in your fstab I don't think I've ever seen.. hang on and let me look at mine. [00:57] just reinstalled everything with cups in front of it, including cupsys and still no link in /etc/init.d [00:57] gnutron: yip so i wonder if the developers will fix it in the next spin [00:57] :( [00:57] Anacranom: I was wrong.. I have it too. [00:57] Dual booting ubuntu with vista ... when I have Ubuntu do the partition, can I assume it is not going to mess with the part that has the vista install and data on it? [00:58] Does anyone here have a Dell Mini 9 netbook [00:58] can anyone point me to what /etc/init.d/cupsys symlink's to?! [00:58] so I can make my own symlink [00:58] Scunizi, heh, had me jumping there... lol, thought i missed somthing REALLY simple [00:59] Anacranom: The second line says "UNKNOWN DEVICE" and the line following it is mounted read only.. the second line would typically have an identifer after /dev/ [00:59] ? [01:00] Anacranom: you also show the same error on the 4th commented line (commented with " ) [01:00] *# [01:00] Master_Yee: whats wrong?

[01:00] I need someone/anyone to goto /etc/init.d/cupsys and tell me where the symlink goes to so I can do it myself, anyone === dbdii407_ is now known as dbdii407 [01:00] Arza3 [01:00] RabidWeezle: DAEMON=/usr/sbin/cupsd [01:01] thanks [01:01] ziroday, just curious to see if anyone is running Ubuntu linux on the Dell mini 9 netbook [01:01] RabidWeezle: you must be missing a package [01:01] Hello all [01:01] tesseracter: if your using the graphical interface and "dragging" the partition boarders around, you have one that is on top of another partition.. [01:01] Ubuntu work better on the Acer Aspire one [01:01] Master_Yee: they come with ubuntu preinstalled if you get the linux version [01:01] so ive heard [01:02] i am having a problem with the connection on the internet that tent to be very slow after i upgrade to intrepid [01:02] Dual booting ubuntu with vista ... when I have Ubuntu do the partition, can I assume it is not going to mess with the part that has the vista install and data on it? [01:02] ziroday, okay thanks [01:02] RabidWeezle: try apt-cache search cupsys or just cups for clues. [01:02] Anacranom: do you see what I mean? you might use sudo blkid in terminal to identify the partitions and the uuid numbers for verification in your fstab. [01:02] Dualbooting Vista with Unutu is a bad idea [01:02] why? [01:02] Windows Vista is very slow [01:02] Master_Yee: why's that? [01:03] what file do i need to install ndiswrapper or is it on the cd [01:03] Master_Yee: what does that have to do with dual booting? [01:03] Scunizi, nope. no dragging. but i figured it out. turns out i needed to create a msdos partition table first [01:03] tesseracter: ah.. ok.. [01:03] i have 3 160gb hdd's - 1st has windblows part, "/" part, "swap" part, and "/home" part, the 2nd hdd has my ftp server (old not used any more) /var/ftp~ part, the 3rd is blank and was going to be new "/home" part but started getting this error after i installed it Scunizi [01:03] Scunizi, I just wouldnt do it [01:03] gnutron: here is a little quote from ubuntu's web site "Sorry, there probably won't be an 8.10.1. 8.04.1 was put out because 8.04 is a Long Term Support (LTS) release. Non-LTS releases don't get point releases. " [01:03] hou5ton: don't assume anything. If you want to increase your chances, do a scandisk then (more importantly) a defrag [01:04] %Fhmm [01:04] i m looking for package using "aptitude search packageName" it shows some packages but some packages show i=installed some just p=packages what is "i A" and "v" [01:04] * Nith has had bad luck with gparted and ntfs partitions although it was xp ntfs not vista ntfs [01:04] Anacranom: try sudo blkid and you might discover the correct /dev/ for the listed uuid's [01:04] btoogood: yeah, i knew that. but thanks, i'm sure the channel appreciates the info. :) [01:04] master_yee, im dualbooting between ubuntu and vista...i haven't noticed any difference in performance [01:04] hello [01:05] 9hello [01:05] hello [01:05] hi === sean is now known as Guest9199 [01:05] Anacranom: here's a look at my fstab..http://pastebin.com/f4f022ce8..

[01:05] testing [01:06] I forgot that app totally... [01:06] (where you can use a mouse in tty) [01:06] master_yee, ubuntu is on another drive :-) [01:06] gnutron: not to try a upgrade or not decisions decisions [01:06] Anacranom: the "none /proc/bus/usb" line is to activate usb in virtual box (non- OSE version) [01:06] is there a way to preserve my gentoo /home and install ubuntu [01:06] ali3nwar3, okay i guess thats better [01:06] im swichging back, gentoo is great and all but has to many conpadiblity issues [01:06] Commie_Cary: if it's on a seperate partition.. sure.. just don't format it on install. [01:07] Scunizi: k, but its ext4 [01:07] will ubuntu still work with it [01:07] Scunizi, how do i use the output of the blkid to fix fstab?

(that's gotta be about as clear as mud) [01:09] Ubutu* [01:09] Ubuntu** [01:09] @Guest22552: shoot! [01:10] Commie_Cary: after googling around, ext4 on ubuntu looks sketchy [01:10] why did you want to use EXT4 === robertross is now known as uc50ic4more [01:10] Sh4d0w, you could use Windows in a Virtual machine then install adobe master suite,,,, cause i seriously doubt that works in WINE, but check the winehq to make sure [01:11] pls can someone give me a link to all command line for ubuntu [01:11] Sh4d0w: he's converting (back) from gentoo and was using an ext4 home [01:11] !cli [01:11] The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful.

[01:21] Anacranom: I'd say fix your fstab first then reboot and see if the error continues.. could be that error is related to fstab.

[01:48] i want to play a sound file into a game i play :S [01:48] maybe you need to chown? [01:48] mrwes: my experience has been that, for fat32 and ntfs, it will make the user the owner, since it doesn't know, obviously [01:49] nickrud i am the only user generally and wanna just wanna be able to plug in and write to it [01:49] but, mrwes, i imagine that if the ext3 has owners that are not recognized, i.e. they don't exist, ubuntu will make it owned by root [01:49] anybody know abt Makefile.modpost [01:49] rdw200169, plug it in, then run sudo chown : /media/ . That will set it permanently to your user [01:50] nickrud: i was thinking of mentioning that, but it's not always beneficial [01:50] whoa! testdisk rocks. [01:50] nickrud: depending on the user, they may not want to do that, for ownership reasons === nammi__ is now known as gardar [01:50] hi [01:50] if u dont know the answer, but understand what im trying to say, can u rephrase my question? lol [01:50] tesseracter_, yes, it has saved my butt many times! [01:50] instead of me speaking into mic, can i make a soundfile on the computer be treated as my voice? u get it now? lol [01:50] is there a program available for me to convert swf to video formats? [01:51] rdw200169, it's the same as setting any directory ownership. that's why I asked him who he wanted to own it. And that command was meant as a response to mortuis99 , I'm bad at following nicks sometimes ;) [01:51] meoblast001: tried ffmpeg? It can do .flv at least [01:51] Marco? [01:51] jrib, flv is a pixel and frame based format... swf is a vector, object, and code based format.... decompilation is much different... ffmpeg wont work [01:51] Is there a reason that Application Windows start in a very small width [01:52] mickbw: fear. [01:52] meoblast001: k [01:52] jrib, but thanks for answering =) [01:52] i want to play sound trough microphone, how? [01:53] nickrud so... sudo chown : /media/ would set anything in /media/ owned by the and writeable? [01:53] nbeebo: diskman and duct tape. [01:53] eye_pee. It is so weird [01:53] nickrud: that won't work, for example, if the external had another installation of ubuntu, it will change the mountpoint permission, but the sub-files, most of them anyway, will still remain under root control [01:53] mickbw: fear can be. [01:53] mortuis99, that would only affect the top level directory; chown -R will change all the contents [01:53] i want to play sound from COMPUTER trough microphone, how? [01:53] nickrud: it would require the dangerous -R switch [01:53] lol [01:54] nickrud: dang, you beat me [01:54] rdw200169, hahahahahha. [01:54] nickrud would it matter if it is EMPTY now? [01:54] nbeebo: set your mic device to point to a raw audio file? maybe, just guessing. [01:54] mortuis99, nope. Once you have write permission to the top level, anything you add will be owned by you. [01:55] Does grub not like extended partitions? [01:55] nickrud: pwnage [01:55] eye_pee how do u do that? [01:55] some kind of loop feature from your line out to microphone? [01:55] anyone know about watchdog? [01:55] zachb: grub doesn't like a lot of things. [01:55] nickrud: mortuis99, i agree, regardless, it would seem simpler just to add a mention in fstab with uid ownership to the user [01:55] mortuis99, permissions are a lovely thing. It's worth your while to read up on them [01:55] eye_pee. It only started happening when I connected an external monitor to my laptop and set up the properties for the height and width of the other monitor [01:55] nbeebo: magically [01:55] eye_pee: heh [01:55] is 64bit ubuntu faster than 32bit? [01:56] !64biy [01:56] Sorry, I don't know anything about 64biy [01:56] if u got massive ram it is [01:56] rdw200169, it can be; but I like my external owned by me, not by any willy nilly person that might plug it into my machine [01:56] hello [01:56] shovi: obviously. it's double the bits. [01:56] !64bit [01:56] seemed kinda the same when i tried last time [01:56] AMD64 and EMT64 are fully supported architectures on Ubuntu. See http://tinyurl.com/3jkole and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amd64 for more information. [01:56] nickrud i have all this in my linux bible but cant find the bloody thing [01:56] meoblast001: http://help.lockergnome.com/linux/convert-SWF-AVI-format-ftopict396093.html has some sort of worflow [01:56] i tried it like 4 months ago, but had no support for flash [01:56] I can't get gnome to remember the session for some reason? [01:56] workflow even [01:56] jrib, read that [01:56] nickrud: well, it would be owned by you, not anyone, you can even set up a mask to make it only rwx by you in fstab [01:56] nickrun do i need to sudo chown : /media/ every time i mount the USB? [01:56] shovi: adobe hasn't released a flash plugin for 64-bit linux. [01:57] mortuis99: *not* if you have an entry in fstab [01:57] volkodav, i think u need to shut down the computer trough linux and not the shut down button... [01:57] mortuis99, no, it writes that permission to the disk itself. It's permanent until you change it manually again [01:57] Also the microphone on Macbook Pro does not work even though it says on a wikik it does? [01:57] mortuis99: and if you create the directory manually, and give it permissions for you [01:57] what should you write to stop the discs get on my desktop everytime I doubleclick at them? [01:57] nbeebo - that's how I did it [01:57] I even tried to log out [01:58] rdw200169, either way, it's a matter of taste ;) [01:58] benjamin_: i totally understood that sentence. [01:58] volkodav, no clue then :( [01:58] benjamin_: you don't want mounted drives on your desktop? [01:58] hmm [01:58] exactly [01:58] i want to play sound from COMPUTER trough microphone, how exactly? [01:58] a real task for fstab ;) [01:58] sorry for repeating questions do anyone mind? lol [01:58] anybody else has the mic problem on the latest Macbook Pro by any chance? [01:58] nbeebo: have you tried asking it nicely? [01:58] hey guys, I need to know how to tell the kernel not to load a module, from grub [01:59] eye_pee im not good at that sorry [01:59] !icons > benjamin_ [01:59] benjamin_, please see my private message [01:59] benjamin_: 'Ubuntu Tweak' has an option to disable that, it's done in gconf, ubuntu tweak just makes it easier [01:59] okej [01:59] i guess this is natural selection :/ [01:59] nbeebo, no one minds, as long as you wait a bit between asking. Only way for new visitors to see your question [01:59] nbeebo, 10 minutes is considered polite [01:59] benjamin_: ubuntu-tweak.com [01:59] i c...... [02:00] nickrun thank you for the help [02:00] nbeebo, that means you should compose a complete question, including the app that you want to direct the sound file to [02:00] rdw200169: someone told me to write something in the terminal before, and that worked. but i dont remember what it was i wrote. [02:01] benjamin_: disable the gconf key ubottu told you about [02:01] mortuis99, yw. rdw200169 was getting around to an elegant solution, I'm a get it working on my machine kinda guy [02:01] benjamin_: type in "history" and find it. [02:01] nickrud, well, i thought of global but its a game inside a virtual box windows quest machine that uses the alsa driver [02:02] Smalll question, i installed Ubuntu with the boot Cd from Windows, is there a way to make my Ubuntu partition bigger, gparted is not letting me do it, and the with the Windows partition tool, the ubuntu partition does not show up ... ? [02:02] nbeebo, then you'd want to use a windows solution to sending sound to the game I'd think [02:02] nickrud id still like to see it :-) [02:02] eye_pee: no, it was before i reinstalled the os [02:03] i need help installing ginac. It says i need "CLN" but i sudo apt-get install it and it says CLN has been replaced by another package. I am looking in the config bash script but cannont find what to change. Help plx [02:03] Do you guys help people who don't use gnome/kde/xfce? [02:03] Alex_Gren: have you tried defragging the windows partition first? [02:03] nickrud, theres only one way in windows to do that and that is trough a program that u need to convert to .wav and change configs etc.. [02:03] mn: isn't ginac in the repositories? [02:04] D3RGPS31: this is an ubuntu channel. [02:04] could anyone here please help me with iplist? [02:04] Alex_Gren, you mean you used wubi to install? [02:04] it's still ubuntu [02:04] man, i always forget to check that [02:04] D3RGPS31, theres more to linux then just th desktop also. :) [02:04] D3RGPS31, if you got a qwuestion.. ask.. and see [02:04] :D [02:04] wubi.....? [02:04] how do i set the default media player to mplayer, when it expects gmplayer [02:04] jrib: it says "could not find package ginac" [02:04] Alex_Gren, you said you used the cd to install in windows ... [02:05] yes i did [02:05] D3RGPS31, in gnome? right click on a videofile, and in its properties tabs somewhere you set the default player [02:05] mn: acs ginac [02:05] mn: sorry. apt-cache search ginac [02:05] Alex_Gren, so you see grub when you boot, and can choose either windows or ubuntu at startup? [02:05] can anyone here help me with ubuntu [02:05] hey what app do i download to use my webcam? [02:05] DrWillisCB for all media files? [02:05] help [02:05] !ask | mee [02:05] mee: 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. :-) [02:05] every program i try to get from the program list [02:05] hi all, when we're downloading torrent, it will definitely make our filesystem FRAGMENTED, right?

[02:06] no [02:06] 32 [02:06] ari_stress, ext3 will avoid fragmentation as much as possible [02:06] ok ive got this problem with "iplist", i installed the repositories but its not appearing in synaptic manager. what should i do?? [02:06] How do I tell the kernel not to load a module from grub [02:06] Zackfett, tell us exactly what you are trying to install perhaps? and how you are doing it?

[02:07] nickrud: i've read that. i'm just too worried i guess :) [02:07] mee, did you 'sudo apt-get update' or refresh the listing after adding the new repo? [02:07] mn: I don't know what you are doing :) [02:07] so we've all but one switched to Ubuntu at work [02:07] benjamin_: sudo rm -f filename [02:07] okej [02:07] give it up for Realpagemaker.com [02:07] DrWillisCB, yeah i did but let me double do it [02:08] jrib: installing graphcalc [02:08] what other Ubuntu chans are there [02:08] I have an external hard drive. 500GB.

[02:15] i've been readen but i cant find a real answer as i dont have dvanced skills in ubuntu [02:15] gaelle: you could just choose manual partitioning and do it yourself [02:15] thanks, byeeee [02:15] !lts | speps [02:15] speps: LTS means Long Term Support.

[02:18] baked: intrepid kernel doesnt support some chipsets so dvd drives doesnt have dma enabled [02:18] jrib: i didn't have to do configure.

[02:23] Lasivian: I think you should avoid swap to save space. Also if you use swap too much you could shorten SSD life. It won't make much difference at all if you don't open too many big programs, and don't bother with hibernation [02:23] beside / and swap what other partitions would I want to make? [02:23] A wireless connection using a WEP key [02:23] Lasivian: just the / [02:23] Lasivian: don't install a swap partition [02:23] kbrooks: do you mean, Ubuntu is automatically reducing the speed of your CPU at bootup, and you don't want it to do that?

[02:24] Lasivian: it's an SSD drive, I think the install guy was trying to increase shelf life, a swap partition would increase HD writes [02:24] kbrooks: do you have powernowd running? If so, that's your culprit. If you don't want CPU freq. scaling at all, just sudo apt-get purge powernowd. [02:24] ah, okay [02:24] netyire: yeah, I figured a second/third opinion would be a good idea :) [02:25] and hence decrease shelf life, that is, if the install guy is correct about how the SSD runs down over time [02:25] So there's no way to have internet on Live CD?

[02:26] how can i open a exam [02:26] oh sorry mistake [02:26] whats a good distro for a computer with low system resources? [02:26] <[c0re]> MVJ, you need driver for your WI-FI.... [02:26] MVP wired internet that is [02:27] d-man puppy linux, damn small linux maybe [02:27] Lasivian: the install guy's right http://www.embeddedstar.com/articles/2005/8/article20050801-2.html [02:27] jtisme: that should be MVJ, not MVP [02:27] !distros [02:27] but then again, all things break down [02:27] Other !Linux distributions besides !Ubuntu include: Debian, Mepis (using !APT); RedHat, Fedora, SUSE, Mandriva (using !RPM); Gentoo, Slackware (using other packaging systems) [02:27] !wireless [02:27] Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [02:27] So where would I get the driver? [02:27] rww excuse [02:27] <[c0re]> MVJ, wired internet is internet via lan card. [02:27] D-MAN: define low. Depending on how low, Xubuntu might work. OR DSL, puppy... [02:27] thank you rww [02:27] how can i open a programexample.py without needing to confirm to run it? [02:27] I'm on a wireless connection [02:27] nbeebo is it user freindly? [02:27] exodus_ms: im going to try a reboot and see if that works [02:27] <[c0re]> MVJ, its will be installed auto [02:27] StevenX: as for the second question.. the short answer is yes.. the longer one is on install delete the partitions and recreate them. 8-13gig for /, if you need hibernate then double your ram or 1.5x your ram for /swap otherwise just 1 gig and the rest for /home [02:28] d-man depends on what u do with a computer [02:28] MVJ, should be able to config and get wireless [02:28] @D-man: I suggest xubuntu [02:28] DVA5912> lol, okay, if not try to manually mount it. let me know what happens [02:28] It keeps asking me for the WEP key [02:28] rww pentium 111 with 512 mb ram [02:28] <[c0re]> jtisme, without driver? [02:28] how do i install a usb mouse ? , iknow this should be simple but .... [02:28] outboard: umm. Plug it in? [02:29] <[c0re]> lol [02:29] outboard: that should usually work, unless something weird's going on [02:29] see i knew it should be simple [02:29] MVJ, you dont have a wep key on the router? [02:29] q D-MAN: xubuntu [02:29] nbeebo whatever it will allow me to lol [02:29] outboard: if it doesn't, check in dmesg and see if you get related errors [02:29] yes, I do, but it keeps asking me for it [02:29] <[c0re]> looooooooooooool [02:29] and it won't connect [02:29] cool thanks guys [02:29] I need some help with WINE [02:29] Following this guide: http://www.fsckin.com/2008/02/21/how-to-run-call-of-duty-4-cod4-modern-combat-in-linux/ [02:29] MVJ> did you type it in correctly, no really, it happens [02:29] wine takes some tinkering to use it [02:30] how can i know what chipset i have ? [02:30] Yes, I did [02:30] brokenbyzero: what's the problem? [02:30] I restarted a couple times to see if it would work [02:30] <[c0re]> lol [02:30] but nope [02:30] but it does work i play guild wars flawlessly! [02:30] something weird is going on obviously :( [02:30] <[c0re]> then wrong key [02:30] * Scunizi hands brokenbyzero a kleenx [02:30] Dont know the answer, but could it be NDISwrapper for MVJ? [02:30] When I get to the stage to compile WINE, it gives me an error that says X development files not found. Wine will be built without X support, which probably isn't what you want. [02:30] !wireless [02:31] D-MAN, i am currently on a laptop with a P3-1066Mhz cpu with 256MB of ram, and runs better in ubuntu then windows xp [02:31] outboard, after plugin the mouse do a "lsusb" do you see it? [02:31] <[c0re]> !wifi [02:31] what is NDISwrapper? (sorry i am new to linux) [02:31] Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [02:31] brokenbyzero: why are you compiling instead of installing from the repos? [02:31] brokenbyzero: umm. Rather than compiling wine, you probably want to just get it from the repositories: sudo apt-get install wine [02:31] I'm following that guide. [02:31] MVJ> check the link above [02:31] MVJ: a system that lets you use wireless drivers built for Windows in Linux [02:31] d-man uhm got the most common programs, but some people cant connect to internet with it without some configuration [02:31] I have to patch it, and the repo version isn't working with CoD4 [02:31] and it will work with live cd? [02:31] brokenbyzero: don't.. wine in the repos is compiled to actually function on Ubuntu [02:32] fglrx is not working for me on ibex. this is xorg.conf http://pastebin.ca/1277430 [02:32] has anyone noticed that yahoo messenger has gone down and is not working in pidgin? [02:32] do a "lsusb" ? [02:32] neither is aim in pidgin [02:32] muzikjock58: yeah. Last time I checked, a few weeks ago, it wasn't working [02:32] muzikjock58: aim was working, though. [02:32] How can you guys help anyone...the traffic is so fast here I can barely read it all [02:32] MVJ> what type of wifi card do you have, more importantly what type of chipset [02:32] how can i open a programexample.py without needing to confirm to run it? [02:32] Well I can't very well use WINE at all unless it can play CoD4, it's the only thing I need it for. [02:32] How would I find that out? [02:32] Neondog82: this is relatively slow for #ubuntu, actually. We're about 100 short of our usual complement. [02:33] outboard, open up a terminal window and type "lsusb", it will give you a listing of all connected usb devices [02:33] muzikjock58: try Wengophone.. in repos..it will do sip (ekiga account) and msn, aim, yahoo, google talk [02:33] brokenbyzero: i love my PS3 ;) [02:33] Is it possible to remote desktop into a windows box, not VNC? [02:33] Neondog82, if you tell your client to not display JOINS and Parts and quits, it really helps with the fast chats like this one [02:33] can anyone help with a fglrx problem? [02:33] MVJ try lspci [02:33] And I love my computer. [02:33] darren: tsclient can do rdp [02:33] how can i know my mb chipset ? [02:33] rww, all right [02:33] ok, thanks. [02:33] brokenbyzero: Try installing the xorg-dev package and try compiling again. [02:34] Neondog82: what irc client are you using? [02:34] Chatzilla [02:34] nah it is not there [02:34] Pici, thanks. [02:34] question: I've installed network-manager-vpn and have configured it to connect to my office vpn which is running openvpn. The vpn connection works, but my eth1 (wirerless) port seems to be replaced by the tap0. This means I only have access to my office and nothing else. What's up? [02:34] where can i get a tutorial on installing vmware server [02:34] Neondog82: ah.. try xchat or irssi.. xchat for gui.. once in channel right mouse click the channel tab and tic the option to not see joins parts quits. [02:34] jupp nah it is not there [02:34] MVJ> type in the terminal 'iwconfig' [02:34] brokenbyzero: have you installed x-dev ? [02:34] okay [02:34] i will try that [02:34] prem: what are you trying to accomplish? [02:35] Installing right now. [02:35] outboard, it sounds like a defective mouse [02:35] how can i know my mb chipset ? [02:35] how can i know my mb chipset ? [02:35] install another os vitually [02:35] is xchat better than chatzilla? [02:35] !repeat > alexserver [02:35] alexserver, please see my private message [02:35] alexserver: sudo lshw will list everything. [02:35] prem: use Virtualbox [02:35] and then after i type that in what will happen? [02:35] Neondog82: yes, but that's a matter of opinion [02:35] im not sure its a problem with pidgin. i think yahoo is messing around with something and i cant figure out what. my friends that use windows are being prompted to download the new yahoo messenger 9.0 in order to use the messenger and im afaid that yahoo has changer something that will render multiprotocol messengers usless [02:35] prem: *much* less hassle [02:35] Hello all, I can't seem to get the Compiz Fusion water effect to work... it just blurs everything, no water splashes =( Anyone know a cure? [02:36] where is the actual wiki for Hardy? [02:36] You have to be a tech support God to operate in here [02:36] MVJ> and 'lspci -n' [02:36] @Neondog82: come to #deniz if you would like to ask something [02:36] muzikjock58: that sounds like an accurate assessment. The pidgin people will figure it out, though, they always do. This is kinda the peril of using closed-source networks instead of something open like Jabber. [02:36] soeey guys, but im pissed off when i have linux troubles [02:36] !wiki [02:36] http://wiki.ubuntu.com - Ubuntu development documentation wiki. If you are looking for system help, please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community - the Ubuntu community documentation. [02:36] @wiki [02:36] and then is there anything special I gotta do? [02:36] marenostrum, what is deniz? [02:36] newfeats: there isn't a specific wiki for hardy [02:36] marenostrum: please do not advertise other channels [02:36] like anything that will popup [02:36] brokenbyzero: you might want to try looking for a .deb file by someone who's already gone through the compile process. if you can't find any .debs, you might want to consider making one and uploading it and posting a link to http://www.winehq.com. just install the package checkinstall and run checkinstall -D instead of make install [02:36] ok [02:36] nup mouse is not faulty just plugged it into this box and it works [02:36] Neondog82: you will be one.. eventually.. 6 mths for basic knowledge unless you immerse youself. [02:36] thank u dude [02:37] * rww immerses himself \O-O/ [02:37] prem: http://wiki.ubuntu.com has an excellent setup how-to for Virtualbox [02:37] i guess it's the help/community. [02:37] not advetising. he asked that here is too fast [02:37] ya [02:37] brokenbyzero: it'll generate a .deb file that you can reinstall on other people's computers and manage with standard apt-get [02:37] so if i sit here for six months I will be usefull? [02:37] MVJ> 'iwconfig' will give you some info on your wireless connection. 'lspci -n' will give you a bit more detailed info on your wirless card [02:37] * Scunizi is "dipped in Ubuntu" but still a nOOb [02:37] okay [02:37] prem: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VirtualBox [02:37] MVJ, those commands go in the console...just incase you did not know [02:37] But i am trying to connect to the internet [02:37] I have checkinstall [02:37] I have not succesfully done that ye [02:37] t [02:37] thank u [02:38] rww, how did you get your fglrx driver to work please? did you do a clean install or a upgrade from hardy? [02:38] netyire, brokenbyzero: checkinstall debs aren't designed to be installed on other people's computers. [02:38] I'll tell you how it goes in a moment [02:38] Has anyone had issues with upgrading to intrepid from hardy and using dmraid? [02:38] Pici: ? really [02:38] usersam: clean install, then just grabbed it from Hardware Drivers =/ [02:38] * netyire googles [02:38] MVJ, those commands tell us about your wireless card [02:38] okay [02:38] MVJ> you can use some of this info to find out if your card should work 'out-of-the-box' or if you will need to configure ndiswrapper to allow for a proprietary driver to be used [02:38] Pici: surely if they have the same distro? [02:38] ahh clean install lucky you [02:38] i'll go do that [02:38] and then i will jot down what it says [02:38] and come back [02:39] Thanks [02:39] MVJ> !pastebin [02:39] usersam: yeah, I'm not a huge fan of the upgrade process. It seems to take longer to fix than it saves in install time. [02:39] !enter | MVJ [02:39] MVJ: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation!

He said that here the things are going very fast [02:39] has anyone here sucessfully upgraded from hardy using fglrx? [02:40] usersam: Yes, what video card do you have? [02:40] usersam, I did a clean install [02:40] MVJ> use the link referring to 'pastebin' to copy and paste your results so others can take a look [02:40] I'm guessing not that many people use dmraid, lol. [02:40] Pici, radeoon 200m - piece of s**t [02:40] and you guys help out for free at this pace? Your awesome === ziroday` is now known as ziroday [02:41] Pici: hmm, checkinstall doesn't really state anything about that in the faq, but the readme file includes "which is my second motivation: I don't have to compile the same software again and again every time I need to install it on another box :-). " [02:41] wow, no one has typed for over a sec [02:41] Pici: I guess it works on similiar setups but doesn't declare dependencies properly [02:41] Neondog82: it's a pretty busy night.. it keeps everyone focused.. you can learn a lot just by following some of the threads. [02:41] should work on other ubuntu distros though :-) [02:41] how do I make FireFox stop hogging all my CPU? [02:42] Scunizi, thanks for the info. I think I might enjoy sitting here and watching [02:42] marenostrum: please do not redirect users of this channel to non-Ubuntu channels. thanks. [02:42] hi, can someone help me get ubuntu working with virtual PC? [02:42] i can get the install screen up but i get an "An unrecoverable processor error has been encountered." error in VPC [02:42] Neondog82: You can try running it with nice [02:42] marenostrum, I appreciate the desire to help. I am going to stick around here for a bit [02:43] baked, is nice a plugin? [02:43] shabby, I got it setup using vmserver 2.0 [02:43] was very painless for the most part [02:43] is there a utility that will tell me about the hard drive usage (not space used, but actual current read/write requests) [02:43] Neondog82: do you have a site with embedded Flash content open? if so, that's it. install the FlashBlock plugin. [02:43] alright ill give that a try. thanks lawnninja [02:43] I have installed xfwm as an alternate windows manager to metacity, how to I switch between the two? [02:43] Neondog82: No, it's a command. [02:43] mneptok, it does not matter what I have open [02:43] shabby79: are you trying to install ubuntu into a vm on a different system? [02:44] baked, how to I effectively use that command? [02:44] yea its on XP [02:44] Oh poop. [02:44] I thought you were already running ubuntu [02:44] haha [02:44] shabby79: are you trying to install from a cd you burned the image too? [02:44] yes [02:44] to mneptok: sure. and in fact that channel as created f for just that man, i mean there is no such channel in fact, i wrote it to just say that we can talk there without hurry [02:44] shabby79: do you still have the iso on your machine? [02:45] no [02:45] it was on a different machine. i no longer have that === sean is now known as Guest79832 [02:45] Neondog82: nice firefox [02:45] Oh I see, well then disregard my directions. I got it working in ubuntu [02:45] shabby79: two things.. the cd you burned might have an issue.. secondly vmware is capable of mounting and installing directly from an iso.. I'd suggest re-downloading. [02:45] baked, do you mind telling what it does? [02:46] all you need to do is download the build-essentials I believe before you install it. [02:46] Neondog82: Are you familiar with 'man'? [02:46] Time to boot into linux [02:46] !who | lawnninja [02:46] lawnninja: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [02:46] i dont think its the cd. the startup screen for ubuntu comes up. i can select the language [02:46] Neondog82, i think it dictates how much cpu a program gets [02:46] baked, a little. I know what it is but not how to use it really [02:46] its just when i try to install it i get that error [02:46] ubottu, thanks. I'm not on irc much [02:46] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [02:46] how would you pipe into a regexp so you remove all characters/ [02:46] greetings - is #ubuntu-server generally the place where people doing medium-to-large scaleenterprise deployments of ubuntu hang out or is there a better channel? [02:46] Neondog82: man man [02:46] Neondog82: And then man nice [02:46] how can i upgrade ubuntu to the latest dev version with the console? [02:47] I'm going to boot into linux and try and fix dmraid that the intrepid upgrade botched [02:47] shabby79: that may be true.. lots here have see 99% installs fail at the end because of a bad burn.. you have to burn at the S.L.O.W.E.S.T. speed possible in lots of cases. [02:47] ExElNeT: just update the apt-get sources and run apt-get update then apt-get upgrade [02:47] newchaos: You talk funny [02:47] Hi, How to list the detail of network driver? any idea? [02:47] alright ill go get the ISO again and try with vmware. thanks [02:47] Kelen: ifconfig --all [02:48] shabby79: I should say that it's not 99% of installs but at the 99% installed mark [02:48] baked: in what way, dude. [02:48] Kelen: whoops, just ifconfig sorry [02:48] ExElNeT, you do not want to upgrade to jaunty now. it is in very early alpha stage [02:48] !clone [02:48] To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « aptitude --disable-columns --display-format '%p' search '?installed!?automatic' > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo xargs aptitude --schedule-only install < my-packages ; sudo aptitude install » - See also !automate [02:48] ExElNeT, further discussion about it in #ubuntu+1 [02:48] /lastlog gnutron [02:48] !ls [02:48] The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful.

Who's got some time to help a noob compile some drivers? [02:56] MVJ, easier to boot into live cd to get that [02:56] magic_ninja: do you get the grub menu on boot? [02:56] MVJ, try expanding the sections you think it is to find the wirlesscard [02:56] Tristan: for what device? [02:56] bazhang> tried that, had problems navigating the terminal?

[02:57] Scunizi: yep just the entry for ubuntu isn't working, should i change the uuid to the one installed by automagic grub or what [02:57] bazhang, we didn't tell him to go to Windows, but I figured since he was there [02:57] Tristan: the Intel 2200 should be supported without compiling [02:57] i can't come here in linux because it can't connect to internet [02:57] that is what iam trying to do [02:57] Neondog82, understood thanks [02:57] I know, I broke something I'm sorry to say. [02:57] netyire: going to try this. [02:57] Tristan: did you see if anything's offered via Jockey? [02:57] magic_ninja: hang on and I'll get you an easy link to fix it.. hopefully you have a live cd to boot to. [02:57] How do I revert to defaily drivers? [02:57] MVJ: if its wireless you looking for ndis prob [02:57] bazhang, you might be better off helping MVJ though [02:57] Hello folks, I've got a wireless nic and been googlin for a while, but I just can't get it work: I've installed madwifi, and it is working, it recognizes the chipset, I can get the 'ath0' in 'ifconfig' output, but I cant connect to my wireless network, not even without any encryption, can any of you give me some hint? [02:57] MVJ> get your card info... [02:57] I don't know what jockey is sorry. [02:57] Scunizi: i'm in live right now via usb drive [02:58] MVJ: did you try ndiswrapper? [02:58] Tristan: well, if you're a newb (as you said), you should not ever be compiling *anything*. this is what happens. [02:58] No [02:58] MVJ, in windows, go to the control panel , to system , on the second tab , find the hardware manager, your wifi card will be listed in there somewhere [02:58] Haha. fair enough :) [02:58] Tristan: System > Admin > Hardware drivers = Jockey [02:58] Thanks, I'll hit that now. [02:58] * pckchem Still can't compile and has been using linux for about 3 years. [02:59] netyire> not yet, he was looking for card info from terminal in ubuntu, had problems, next thing he is ion windoze so we told him to try and get card info from there, then he will get back into ubuntu and start over [02:59] q MVJ: dear friend.How can Linux not connect to internet. There sshould be something wrong with your side [02:59] * netyire nods [02:59] pckchem, you need to install the -dev files of the dependencies [02:59] netyire: got it, thanks advance.. [02:59] Um. I don't see admin under system. [02:59] exodus_ms: thanks for the heads up :-) [02:59] Kelen: :-) [02:59] MVJ, what is your computer make and model? is it is still factory configured? [02:59] Tristan: "Administration" [02:59] I don't know why it won't connect, it just says it is trying to connect and keeps asking for my WEp key [02:59] Oh shit. Such an idiot today. [02:59] it is an HP pavilion Ze4900 [03:00] magic_ninja: here it is.. it's saved me several times.. pay attention to the white portions, but read it all before doing. http://users.bigpond.net.au/hermanzone/p15.htm#Re-install_Grub_with_Live_CD [03:00] netyire> cool, keep an eye out for this one :) [03:00] maybe you have a wep password on your wireless route [03:00] I do [03:00] I type it in [03:00] and asks again [03:00] maybe you forgotten [03:00] I don't [03:00] !enter | MVJ we told you before.. [03:00] MVJ we told you before..: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [03:01] I have it written down, it is right next to me [03:01] MVJ, try this link http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-489126.html === john is now known as Guest80618 [03:01] MVJ> is it possible for you to disable wep from router just temporarily to see if your card will connect? [03:01] what's the maximum amount of RAM you can use in the 32bit version of Ubuntu? [03:01] yeah [03:01] I'll try that tomorrow [03:01] mneptok: I see Hardware Drivers, but nothing under that, and it just opens the third party drivers list. [03:01] right now i gotta go [03:02] MVJ, could you not also use a wired connection while in Ubuntu to chat and sort this problem? [03:02] Frijolie: 4 GB unless you have pae or somesuch methinks [03:02] Tristan: does it propose any drivers? [03:02] * netyire googles [03:02] No, it didn't. [03:02] Thanks for the help, i'll be back tomorrow some time [03:02] Tristan: then there's only the free 2200 driver available [03:02] @mneptog @Neondog82 What can I do other than giving another room.He thinks that he can not connecct to Internet with Linux! [03:02] That's ok. [03:02] it was all working until I tried to fix what wasn't broke. [03:02] marenostrum: /msg [03:02] MVJ> if you have time head over to ubuntu forums and take a look at there wireless threads, howto's and stickys [03:03] Tristan: "oops." [03:03] I'm watching the lag meter on my irc client and it's fluctuating between .2s and 1.0s.. what causes lag? [03:03] its a broadcomm MVJ [03:03] oops [03:03] Frijolie: confirmed, 4GB max [03:03] oops indeed. [03:03] bazhang, doesnt ubuntu support broadcom natively? [03:03] Scunizi: ley lines [03:03] Neondog82: not all chipsets [03:03] @mneptog: OKdear friend.You are wright [03:03] Broadcom Corporation BCM4306 [03:03] should work [03:03] mneptok: ? didn't get that. [03:03] * mneptok nods [03:04] anyone created a ~/.asoundrc file to get alsa capture of live playing music? [03:04] netyire: but does that include /swap? [03:04] Frijolie: You can have as much as your mobo can support, but the processor can only address 232 registers or about 4 GB wihtout some nasty processor and software hacks [03:04] So how do I roll back to the free vanilla drivers? [03:04] Scunizi: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ley_lines [03:04] thanks [03:04] * netyire checks the forums [03:04] how do i get the /msg to open a new tab? [03:04] Frijolie: "32bit systems can support up to 4 gigs but that is including your swap." [03:04] Frijolie: hmm, looks like, yesh yesh [03:04] Tristan: there's no way to answer that, as we can't be sure what you did to dsable them. you could reinstall while preserving /home [03:05] Okay., [03:05] so then it wouldn't be worth purchasing 4GB of super cheap RAM... [03:05] Thanks for the help then :) [03:05] Appreciated. [03:05] * netyire checks if you can enable pae on 32bit ubuntu [03:05] Frijolie: gimme a sec [03:05] mneptok: so just the relationship of where I'm at to where the server is at and what's happening in between? or is my router hic-uping [03:05] Tristan: http://shop.canonical.com has even better support options! [03:05] Scunizi: i was being facetious. lag is caused by traffic, latency, etc etc. [03:06] Hehe [03:06] Frijolie: That depends on how much RAM you have now [03:06] Scunizi: the same things that cause download rates to fluctuate [03:06] mneptok: k.. just wondering if I can somehow optimize [03:06] currently I only have 2GB of RAM 1GB x 2 and was looking to upgrade to 4GB (2GB x 2) [03:06] Frijolie: I have 4 GB, in two sticks. Even though it never uses it all, the speed boost from dual channel is worth it to me. [03:07] my external HDD which mounted in /media has gone rouge on me. It won't let me write to it or erase anything off it. I've tried sudo mc and straight command line sudo su then rm -r with no luck. Its formated as ntfs and windows disk check came back clean. [03:07] Frijolie: 2x2GB if that was confusing [03:07] Scunizi: nothing you can do. [03:07] I also have 5 different OSes installed in VMs--the reason that I'm even considering the upgrade in the first lace [03:07] mneptok: k.. thanks. [03:07] I get a input/output error when trying to delete or write [03:07] er first place [03:07] Frijolie: ubuntu supports 4GB of ram out of the box, it looks like that limit can be increased to 64GB with some tweaking [03:08] * netyire continues googling [03:08] Frijolie: Well, you'll still get a 1.5 GB boost and you'll keep dual chan speeds [03:08] hold on... [03:08] Lamo, it's probably not mounted with write permission [03:08] !food [03:08] Sorry, I don't know anything about food [03:08] Frijolie: To me, thats worth having ~600 MB unavailible [03:09] pckchem: what do you mean by dual-channel? [03:09] * netyire prepares to dump a chunk of text pertaining to increasing ubuntu memory support [03:09] Frijolie http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dual-channel_architecture [03:09] Pelo, I tried chown username and chmod 755 [03:09] "[On Debian] If you want support for up to 64 gigabytes, look for a kernel that ends with 686-bigmem. These kernels will enable support for 64GB. Unfortunately, a generic kernel for only 4GB does not exist. Similarly, in Ubuntu, look for a recent kernel image whose package name ends in smp; these kernels are designed for dual core processors, but work on single core processors as well, although sometimes with a small performance hit." -- http://www.

[03:27] do any of you know what channel totem movie player would be in? [03:27] Idiamond no, i would like to have a gui if possible for this purpose. [03:27] Guest0, that thing about devede is that it won't /can'T reencode to a higher quality then your original file, that's why it doesn't take up all the dvd, if you had a realy high quality file , it would take all the space [03:27] Scunizi, from Adobe's site [03:27] I think I found a bug [03:28] Pelo are you certain of this? it makes its own calculations [03:28] ldiamond: well. that typically would be vers. 10 .. the latest.. it's a hit and miss how it operates on your system.. you might consider uninstalling it and using the "non-free" version in the repos.. it's still adobe but one version lesss. === progex is now known as jtdroo [03:28] Guest0, yes I am, I 've talked with Sergio about this [03:29] this is what I did...sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop Then, logged out.

X session: unable to launch "/usr/bin/startkde" x session--- "/usr/bin/startkde not found falling back to default session... Can someone help me sort this out?? [03:29] Pelo should you not be able to put two files on then? since your only burning 2.2gb with one? [03:30] Scunizi, do you know how to uninstall it? [03:30] Pelo, is this not a mal-function? for instance most windows application burn the full 4.7gb image from the same file? [03:30] Guest0, yes , and if they are a little too big , dvd will resize them to fit [03:30] ldiamond: no.. but their site might be able to tell you.. also .. :) google [03:30] Guest0, it is not a malfuction and the windows one waste space so to speak [03:31] fosco_, |lautarus is waiting for you in #ubuntu-es [03:31] Guest0, they recode to a higher quality but with a low quality source, think of it as making a grainny picutre bigger, the grain just get bigger, the image doesn't get clearer [03:31] Pelo so you mean to tell me i need to make it say like 9.4gb? [03:32] Guest0, no , it has nothing to do with the end result of the file, it has to do with the your original video [03:32] Guest0, you just can't increase the quality. [03:32] * Pelo doesn'T think he's getting through [03:32] Guest0, the source is compressed in a lossy format. This lost data can't be regenerated. [03:32] * pckchem agrees [03:33] I get it... just wonding the 50% difference in data on the disk... [03:33] this is what I did...sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop Then, logged out. Selected kde.desktop from sessions menu and tried to log in. KDE Not installing This is what I get.. X session: unable to launch "/usr/bin/startkde" x session--- "/usr/bin/startkde not found falling back to default session... Can someone help me sort this out?? [03:33] It downloaded and installed alright\ [03:33] i'll see what i can do with it, thanks all. [03:34] Guest0, if 2.3GB is all it can take, theres no use to get it to take up 4.7GB [03:34] how do i get Flash for my 64bit? [03:34] shovi: install flashplugin-nonfree [03:34] how do i use the remote desktop to connect and view a windows vista machine [03:35] sudo apt-get?

[03:38] when you use the minimal install cd can you pick and choose what packages you want? === liveuser is now known as Guest92630 [03:38] Pelo, now its time to make it faster and get rid of everything you dont need... that should take some of your time. [03:39] preston, I beleive the minimal install only installs a cli system, you can add the packages you want afterward with apt [03:39] Any idea how I can install pthreads in Ubuntu? Every other OS has them (windows has pthreads-w32, OS X has pthreads..) and I need it for a project I write. [03:39] ldiamond, been there, done that [03:39] Pelo, My ubuntu install often crashes... (more often than XP did unfortunately) [03:39] hey guys, for some reason, my totem player can play .mkv with no problems, but not vlc and mPlayer [03:39] ldiamond, what's your issue ? [03:39] this is what I did...sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop.....All downloaded and installed fine.. Then, logged out. Selected kde.desktop from sessions menu and tried to log in. KDE Not installing This is what I get.. X session: unable to launch "/usr/bin/startkde" x session--- "/usr/bin/startkde not found falling back to default session... Can someone help me sort this out?? [03:39] i can't find any settings in totem [03:40] giganto, try asking in #mplayer and #vlc [03:40] as in, i tried to configure mPlayer so that its the same as totem [03:40] oh [03:40] okay [03:40] thx [03:40] giganto: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [03:40] Pelo, as an example, an hour ago, I left my PC unattended for about 30 mins, the screen saver went on (blank screen), I could never recover, had to shutdown. [03:40] oddly enought I can'T play mkv , they are too demanding [03:40] Pelo, Firefox-bin and Xorg take up to 50% CPU on flash sites. [03:40] ldiamond, desktop ? [03:41] Pelo, laptop [03:41] So, did Yahoo kill Pidgin's ability to access it's servers, or what? [03:41] Pelo, Synergy crashes when using hotkeys to switch screen (synergy is a software KM switch) [03:41] ldiamond, are yo sure it's the screensaver that crashes your comp and not suspend ? [03:41] what has better support ait or nvidia? [03:41] Pelo, my comp doesnt suspend. [03:41] ati [03:42] hanasaki, nvidia, by far [03:42] ldiamond, and it is normal for flash site to load your cpu I get the same [03:42] hanasaki, nvidia [03:42] not trying to start a war.. but why doi you say nvidia? why do you say ati? [03:42] Pelo, www.nhl.com loads my cpu at 50% under linux, and about 3% in windows. [03:42] correcting "ait" [03:42] idamante, let me have a look , I have nothing better to do [03:42] hanasaki, ATI only recently began to make drivers for linux [03:42] what about the issues i see for 8300 nv issues? [03:42] ecept what eden log [03:42] !ot | ati vs nvidia please ;) [03:42] ati vs nvidia please ;): #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [03:43] hanasaki, Nvidia has been there for longer [03:43] yagga: what is ait? [03:43] nickrud, this isnt ot [03:43] he mis-spelled it [03:43] ldiamond, exactly [03:43] nickrud: this is about ubuntu.. i want to know about ubuntu based support for them [03:44] hanasaki, ATI should be releasing new drivers in 2009 [03:44] ldiamond it's not an ubuntu question, it's an ati manufacturer vs nvidia manufacturer. ubuntu is simply stuck with what they give, for 3d. So, it's off topic for supporting ubuntu [03:44] Nvidia will be releasing some in December [03:44] hanasaki, intel is the best, nvidia ati opinions differ [03:44] ldiamond, that site gets my cpu up as well [03:44] hanasaki, so it is not a settled issue. [03:44] nickrud, its about Ubuntu. He wants to know which works best with ubuntu. [03:44] nickrud, this isnt ot [03:44] ldiamond, no probs here with that site; you using flashblock or not [03:45] i was lookng at this boards http://www.newegg.com/Product/Productcompare.aspx?Submit=Property&N=2000200022&PropertyCodeValue=3879%3A27158%2C3879%3A27244%2C727%3A11340%2C727%3A10630%2C727%3A10689%2C735%3A7580%2C735%3A7582%2C735%3A7581%2C1256%3A28868%2C1256%3A37157%2C1256%3A18123%2C1256%3A18575%2C1256%3A20469%2C1256%3A32373%2C740%3A7596%2C748%3A7609%2C757%3A7619%2C757%3A20949&srchInDesc=am2%2B&bop=And&CompareItemList=N82E16813131355%2CN82E16813131318%2CN82 [03:45] bazhang, I'm using Adobe's site Flash 10 [03:45] Can someone please help me install KDE [03:45] but which chipset to get and how good is the ubuntu support? [03:45] this is what I did...sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop.....All downloaded and installed fine.. Then, logged out. Selected kde.desktop from sessions menu and tried to log in. KDE Not installing This is what I get.. X session: unable to launch "/usr/bin/startkde" x session--- "/usr/bin/startkde not found falling back to default session... Can someone help me sort this out?? [03:45] now thats getting ot hanasaki [03:45] how do i burn iso images in hardy? [03:45] ldiamond, not going to argue. It's been argued to death here, consensus is they both suck in different ways. the details are off topic [03:46] hanasaki, you should check the release notes and also do some research at ubuntuforums [03:46] !notes [03:46] Ubuntu 8.10 (Intrepid Ibex) release notes can be found here: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/releasenotes/810 [03:46] so intel is very good support in ubuntu and fast as ati / nv? which chipsets? [03:46] hanasaki, right now, Nvidia has better drivers. Nobody knows how it will be in 6 months [03:46] hi, when i save a file to the desktop the filename is strange, it only shows like 4-5 chrs per line, so 'phone cards.txt' apears like phon

[03:49] nickrud: that will only alow me to change the font i assume ... is there not a way to change the collom widths or any other settings that could affect how it apears? [03:49] Hi [03:50] pelo how do i obtain theese programs [03:50] D-MAN, install them, or just right click [03:50] Logikos, you can use, from a file manager window, edit->prefs- views tab, try checking/unchecking use compact layout [03:50] D-MAN, brasero is already installed , check in menu > sound/video , or whatever it is [03:50] when do you guys think companies/people will start transitiioning to 64 bit??? [03:51] shovi, when they stop selling 32 bit computers [03:51] heh. best answer I've heard to that question, ever [03:51] well probably 75% of computers sold now support 64bit [03:51] !info brasero [03:51] brasero (source: brasero): CD/DVD burning application for GNOME.

I dont have a clue how to set it up for s-video and i also don't think its setup right anyway . [03:55] _-RED-_, are you talking about a second monitor ?

(I ask because i can never reliably get sata/pata working right myself) [04:00] * Pelo wonders if he's the only one getting weird laggs tonight [04:00] nickrud: I am using SATA [04:00] how can i make sure my cd rom is working properly? [04:00] louzer, like pelo says then, put /boot/grub/menu.lst on http://paste.ubuntu.com , but add the output of sudo fdisk -l as well [04:00] when i put a cd in it says no disk [04:00] http://paste.ubuntu.com/81184/ [04:01] sorry I thought the paste would message here automatically [04:01] D-MAN, with brasero ? I know there have been some issues, try with gnomebaker [04:01] hi all [04:01] brasero seems slow to me [04:01] greetings [04:01] louzer: and "ls /dev/disk/by-uuid" [04:01] I just bought an iPod from the paw shop. I got GTkpod and it is screaming issues at me about "Could not open "(null)" for reading extended info. [04:01] Extended info will not be used." So i tried two other options. One is Banshee the other was the Hipo iPod management tool. I used Sound Juicer to rip the CD's i want to add to my iPod in m4a format and then tried to Shoot them over to the iPod. The Songs Show up in the List on the iPod but they wont play at all. in fact they just shoot me over to the menu again once the iPod Fails to play all the songs in the list. Whats going [04:01] one? [04:01] ninjabuntu: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [04:02] louzer, what version is that grub running under? [04:02] ninjabuntu: the iPod is a closed system that depends upon iTunes. YMMV. [04:02] pelo were do i get gnomebaer [04:02] baker [04:02] ninjabuntu, google , I know you can now use rhythmbox and amarok to manage your ipod but that's all I know about it [04:02] ninja, have tried Songbird? its a brilliant itunes like player with good ipod management... www.getsongbird.com [04:02] D-MAN, sudo apt-get install gnomebaker [04:03] Pelo: not necessarily true. it depends on the iPod hardware and firmware revision. [04:03] mneptok, like I said I don'T know much about it [04:03] Pelo: lucky you ;) [04:03] gtkpod as well [04:03] and what version of libgpod. that's the only thing I've compiled more than once in the last year [04:04] mneptok: 233845b5-85a4-40b5-b537-18db264bfa8b 4016BC5D7D8C37FF 4646-150A [04:04] mneptok, thanks to the lovely ppl at RCA for making simple usb flash mp3 players [04:04] hey guys.... could someone help me with my Wlan , i can connect to another network in my neighborhood, but mine wont work, i tried resetting it... is anyone knowlegable in this area? [04:05] Pelo: i <3 my PSP [04:05] * Pelo thinks mneptok has too much money [04:05] ToddEDM: WEP, WPA, WPA2? what form of password (hex, ASCII)? [04:05] louzer, you'll need to do ls -l /dev/disk/by-uuid , so we can see what those uuid's point at. it's too long for here, put it on http://paste.ubuntu.com [04:05] Pelo: I'v goodled a lot, Thats why I started with GTKpod. but I'll try those as well. link42: I give that a try as well, one of these is bound to work mneptok:what ever you say dude. [04:05] Pelo: not having kids helps ;) === u is now known as Guest80369 [04:06] <__mikem> mneptok, i can never get the ASCII keys to work properly, and I am not just talking about in ubuntu [04:06] pelo how do you burn iso with gnomebaker [04:06] ninjabuntu: facts are facts. Apple actively tries to prevent iPod usage with anything but iTunes. [04:06] * nickrud checks mneptoks netmask one more time [04:07] nickrud: 255.255.255.0, like most folks ;) [04:07] http://paste.ubuntu.com/81187/ [04:07] D-MAN, you open gnomebaker from the sound /video menu, and select cd image or dvd image from the tool menu I beleive, in anycase , it is in the menu somewhere , not a button [04:07] mneptok: im using WPA , but it should be open now, i resetted it [04:07] pelo did not see the option to burn iso? [04:07] mneptok, hhahahah. I need to give up the root beer ;) [04:07] nickrud: I pasted it there [04:07] D-MAN, burn image [04:07] mneptok: I pasted it there [04:07] louzer, ls -l /dev/disk/by-uuid , don't forget the -l [04:07] ToddEDM: does the AP appear in the nm-applet list? [04:08] <__mikem> mneptok, ^ [04:08] __mikem: hrm? [04:08] <__mikem> mneptok, i can never get the ASCII keys to work properly, and I am not just talking about in ubuntu [04:08] mneptok: im not sure what the nm-applet list is, but i do see the AP in the list of ones within range [04:08] __mikem: that only matters for WEP. and WEP is useless. [04:09] ToddEDM: you might want to power-cycle the AP to ensure the new settings take affect [04:09] http://paste.ubuntu.com/81188/ [04:09] mneptok: you mean powercycling by holding reset while pulling the power off the back? [04:09] wrt-54g [04:10] ToddEDM: no, just unplug, wait 30s, and restore power [04:10] mneptok: I have pasted it there. [04:10] nickrud: I ave pasted it there [04:10] ToddEDM: then ensure you can connect from another machine with no authentication [04:10] yea i did that a few times... i have a windows PC connected to it (wired) , but my buntu laptop and desktop cannot connect wirelessly [04:10] ToddEDM: and be sure that you don't have MAC filtering set up, and if you do, the MAC address of the Ubuntu machine is in the whitelist. [04:11] louzer, it looks like it should be root (hd0,1) for the windows stanza [04:11] mneptok: maybe these buntu machines are still trying to put a password in??? [04:11] could that be? [04:12] ToddEDM: could be. just be sure to tell it not to use encryption. you should get the choice when it fails. [04:12] I need help, currently I get dropped to busybox because /dev/disk/by-uuid/ doesnot exist [04:12] new wine is available in the winehq repos [04:13] mneptok: yea i dont get anything that pops up [04:13] :( [04:13] louzer, like http://paste.ubuntu.com/81190/ [04:13] Hello #ubuntuuuu! [04:14] * Pelo looks at artyg suspiciously [04:14] louzer, when you have a chance, do lsb_release -a ; grub --version for me and let me know what it says [04:14] Now don't look at me like that : | [04:14] nickrud: but that menu.lst is same as my current one [04:15] Ubuntu is being meaaaan on my netbook, anyone good with general LAN problems in Ubuntu? [04:16] need help cd rom not workig wodim: Sorry, no supported CD/DVD-Recorder found [04:16] artyg: which netbook? [04:16] louzer, unless you have another disk you're not telling us about, that is a pretty much vanilla grub stanza. It's worked for every windows install (that works) for over 8 years [04:16] Acer Aspire One [04:16] nickrud: http://paste.ubuntu.com/81192/ [04:16] artyg: do you know what NIC it has? (wired or wireless?) [04:16] nickrud: I have other partitions and windows is on sda4 [04:16] artyg: by LAN do you mean wireless? [04:17] nickrud: so I tried (hd0,3) [04:17] nickrud: but it does not work [04:17] I mean classic wired LAN [04:18] louzer, for a second drive it would be (hd1,x) (0 for the first partition). And you'd have to add some drive mapping if the windows install is on the second drive. [04:18] artyg: do you know the chipset? [04:18] artyg: (lspci can tell you some details if you don't offhand) [04:18] nickrud: http://paste.ubuntu.com/81196/ [04:18] Realtek RTL8101E/8102E PCIe [04:18] artyg: I have an aspire one and wired was working fine after a clean install of intrepid [04:19] artyg: you should check https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AspireOne [04:19] louzer, sudo fdisk -l , paste that. I need to see the complete disk layout you have [04:19] This whole "pinging works fine, but you can't download more than like...3KB" thing is making my mind hurt.

[04:22] After a lot of issues, i have done a complete install of ubuntu to an external usb drive, with XP on my internal drive. The problem now is that in the ubuntu install, grub was placed on the usb drive, so now i need the usb drive to be plugged in if i want to boot my pc, anybody have any suggestions? [04:22] My Acer One worked out of the box. You sure you don't have a defective netbook port?

I also did not do anything with the filesystems (at least not intentionally). Now when I boot ubuntu from the hard disk and list open files of firefox, tor, or any other tcp using process, I get this type of log entry... http://pastebin.com/m366fb935 has knoppix modified my system, and is there an easy way to see an undo such modifications? [04:23] louzer, generaly speaking , windows likes to be on eh first partition , your sitituation is giving us difficulties [04:23] and my xorg.conf has been completely erased [04:23] see and undo* [04:23] Ubuntu screen problem: I notice that when I watch video on vlc or movieplayer that when I move other windows around (video was not maximized) that when minimized they will leave...well... like a "ghost" of itself. The only way to stop it is to make the entire desktop a selection. Any ideas? [04:23] could someone please help me get my cd rom to work [04:24] D_MAN_ what is ther problem?

[04:26] D-MAN_, what does it say on the front of the dvd player ? [04:27] mn that is correct [04:27] Here's the fun: I start the aspire, it loads up pretty well, acquires the IP through DHCP, pings fine. If I try to update apt-get, it downloads the first 2 files correctly, then quits. After a while, it stops being able to ping and can't connect to the network anymore. [04:28] pelo it says allot of stuff [04:28] I believe this is possessed and hates me for some reason. [04:28] I am having trouble getting dvds to play on my 8.04 system. I have tried totem, vlc, movie player, mplayer and they all seem to freez after playing most of the opening track. Anyone know ho wto resolve this issue?

[04:31] Pelo: I am experiencing the same problem myself.

[04:31] pelo when i first boot up it allows me to open cd tray but when i close it it wont open again? [04:31] Pelo: That was more of a guess.

I can then run the integrity check, which succeeds. However, both the "start Ubuntu" and "install Ubuntu" options end up dropping to a BusyBox shell with the (initramfs) prompt. Any idea what's going on?

[04:57] * [04:57] AlexandertheConf, you would do chmod u+x , then run it with ./ (this all assumes you're in the same dir as the shell script) [04:57] a stable way* not amarok beta, or amarok from kde3 [04:57] ganymede, the guys in #kde would probably know the kde apps better [04:58] ganymede, or #kubuntu [04:58] porn sounds good [04:58] I guess [04:58] nickrud, oh whoops, just realized i'm in the wrong channel [04:58] i thought this was #kde [04:58] :) [04:58] i am unable to force mount a undafely removed ext. hard drive [04:58] yeah [04:58] I have that prob too [04:58] sudo mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sdc1 /media/ -o force [04:58] I have an old windows drive I need stuff from [04:59] are there any iso burning programs that work in ubuntu 8.04?

I get an unsupported codec error [05:05] I'm reading audacity is a good way to do this, but I thought a nice little command line quickie wouldbe better [05:05] D-MAN, then you might try gnomebaker or brasero , see if they have any luck. If not, then I'd guess hardware problems again :) [05:05] pew pew [05:05] Bungalo, care to elaborate?

[05:55] <^paradox^> or lose half my project [05:55] Ohkie, Which desktop manager are you using? [05:56] taka: did you install c-shell? [05:56] i think you need that to install the driver [05:56] zhauoz: not sure. the default that comes with ubuntu? [05:56] ok is it me or did yahoo jack up there protocol again? [05:56] for yahoo messenger that is [05:56] Ohkie, Gnome. Well, i don't rememeber the menues in my head, but you have keyboard shortcuts in your settings. === ozzloy_ is now known as ozzloy [05:56] I have an Emacs Lisp file for a new major mode. How do I install it? [05:57] Ohkie, Check them out. :-) [05:57] jctheman, I did. My problem is when i dpkg the lpr and the cups driver, the ppd file doesn't show up in /usr/share/cups/models/mfc420cn .. I don't even have a cups/models [05:57] http://www.martinhenze.de/2008/08/11/brother-printers-and-ubuntu-linux-804/ === TecnicoDPC is now known as Devian [05:57] Im just trying to im someone and well pidgin has been trying to connect to my yahoo im account for like 4 yours now. [05:58] <^paradox^> im having trouble with yahoo as well. the messenger service at least [05:58] the last thing i got was an apologie about how they were doing routine maint today. [05:58] sorry zhaoz: i got knocked off the net.... didnt see any answer u gave? [05:58] jctheman, thanks.. I'll give it a try again [05:58] Never use centralized IM protocols... === Devian is now known as Jose_Devian [05:58] ya i think they jackafied there im protocol again...great...just another reason to use google talk. [05:59] at least its xmmp compliant(jabber rocks!) [05:59] <^paradox^> thats not exactly an option when some ppl only use one service [05:59] ya no kidding [05:59] grendal_prime, Agreed. === Jose_Devian is now known as JoeDevian [06:00] question for you, when i used gentoo and gentoo was booting up it would give you the service name and give you like a green "started" or ok what ever, what is that so i can do it to my ubuntu install [06:00] i have about 4 jabber servers running right now, for companys i did work for...thats how those people stay in contact with me. [06:00] am i dead again? [06:00] dfgas, Just turn off the bootsplash. [06:00] and i swear you cant shut those servers down with a shotgun [06:00] dfgas, That's the init-process. [06:01] <^paradox^> is that whats going on here? yahoo changed something and now im sufferin for it? [06:01] ^paradox^, Man, your nick, it's hard to tab-complete... [06:01] I'm using compiz if that means anything zhaoz? [06:02] Ohkie, Oh, well, yeah it does. [06:02] heh [06:02] zhaozhou, how do i enable that [06:02] <^paradox^> zhaozhou: lol sorry [06:02] Ohkie, In that case you'll have to get "compiz config... whatever"-application [06:02] zhaozhou, i removed quiet and slash [06:02] yep...just another example of the non opensource man trying to bring us down brother... ^paradox^ when they gonna start leaving our people alone? [06:02] from menu.lst [06:03] Anyone know what compiz config application is named? [06:03] dfgas, That should be enough really. [06:03] zhaozhou, ccsm [06:03] zhaozhou: ccsm [06:03] dr_willis, ardchoille, thanks. [06:03] <^paradox^> ok so im guessing yahoo will no longer work on pidgin? [06:03] Any ideas how to begin trouble shooting avi playback that freezes? [06:03] zhaozhou, so it will let me know in green what is started and in red what errored? [06:03] grendal: what kind of jabber setups did you deploy? [06:03] Anyone well versed with radeon x series cards and making them work with Ubuntu? [06:03] ^paradox^, yahoo tends to break thin gs.. then a week later pidgin has a fix.. but ubuntu dosetn always keep up with the latest pidgin 'versions' [06:04] dfgas, No greens or reds, but it'll tell you OK or FAIL in dull white text. [06:04] I have to make a confession guys...i serioiusly thought ubuntu was for wusses that didnt want to learn to install debian. But umm well this laptop came with it preinstalled so...i figured id give it a try, and last night i was dinking around with there 810 server disk. I have to admit im loving this. [06:04] zhaozhou: mine does green and red (intrepid) [06:04] <[kP]> anyone know what ports to open for nfs ebox server? [06:04] hmmm [06:04] egad you can dig yourself a hole pretty quick with ubuntu. [06:04] heh [06:04] ardchoille, O.o really? You're using upstart, right? [06:04] zhaozhou: I don't even know what upstart is [06:05] <^paradox^> is anyone else here able to use their yahoo id through pidgin? just trying to figure out if its only me [06:05] !upstart [06:05] Upstart is meant to replace the old Sys V Init system with an event-driven init model. For more information please see: http://upstart.ubuntu.com/ [06:05] ardchoille, Hrm, i'll have to google that then. [06:05] dr_willis: thanks [06:05] I'm trying to get Ubuntu to play any 3d games...WoW, CoD4, etc...it won't run anything 3d [06:05] zhaozhou: no idea, it's whatever came with Intrepid, I don't install anything outside the repos [06:05] brokenbyzero, Videodrivers? [06:06] I'm assuming the drivers are the problem, but I followed a few guides on ubuntuforums.org and they just made my problem worse [06:06] <^paradox^> i almost forgot [06:06] brokenbyzero, some of those gfames can be tricky to get going properly with wine.. However wine has a rather large support forum and other guides. You need to get your 3d drivers going first... that may beyour whole issue [06:06] <[kP]> anyone know what ports to open for nfs ebox server? [06:06] ardchoille, I'll have to check a changelog for this. (: [06:06] Yes [06:06] brokenbyzero, What videocard do you have? [06:06] my glxinfo | grep rendering says YES to direct rendering [06:06] Radeon x800 GTO [06:06] grendal_prime:: what kind of jabber setups did you deploy? [06:06] <^paradox^> i gave instantbird a test drive yesterday and it booted me off as well. some message having to do with the protocol as well [06:06] hello [06:06] brokenbyzero, Ah, right, well that's no issue then (i assume). [06:07] someone can help me with crontab ? [06:07] brokenbyzero, Which version of wine do you have then? [06:07] It works perfect on Windows, but I can't even get it to render anything under WINE [06:07] How can i set to run one job for 1 sec ? [06:07] Wine 1.0 [06:07] mib_vc9mkg, you mean have a program run ONLY for a set amount of time? or run every second? [06:07] brokenbyzero, You should update wine. [06:08] 'perfect on windows' tells us very little. :) [06:08] !ati [06:08] For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [06:08] Other then you are a LUCKY windows user. :P [06:08] dr_willis, xD [06:08] I asked here as well... https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/53645 [06:08] ati cards can be a bit of a hassle. :( sadly. [06:09] dr_willis, Not newer ones. [06:09] even nvidia cards can be a bother lately [06:09] zhaozhou: hello [06:09] mib_vc9mkg, Hi. [06:09] Well I've been running it on Windows for 4+ years at over 120fps. I switch to Ubuntu and it won't run at all. BUT, when i move my HDD over to an old p4 dell with some integrated graphics card... it renders at about 30fps. [06:09] zhaozhou: can you help me little bit ? [06:09] zhaozhou, I sure see a lot of people in here asking about them.. :) [06:09] <^paradox^> well this is a very pretty pickle. either i use the browser based version of yahoo messenger or im screwed [06:09] hello guys [06:09] zhaozhou: can you help me little bit ? please :) [06:09] mib_vc9mkg, I can sure try. Just ask your question. If i cant answer, someone who can hopefully will. [06:09] i have a problem with my firefox T_T [06:09] ^paradox^, that what happened last time Yahoo 'broke' things. [06:09] My yahoo account seems to be working fine i pidgin [06:10] I dont even have a yahoo account to test any more. :() [06:10] can anyone plz help me T_T [06:10] zhaozhou: so.. i have a problem with contrab.. i edited it in this mode "1/* * * * * /bin/bash /usr/local/bin/foo.sh" but now run foo.sh only one min. i`d like run it only 1 sec. [06:10] dr_willis, Actually, newer ati-cards have better support then nVidia have. [06:10] can you help me ? [06:10] <^paradox^> ardchoille: did u look at it just now? [06:11] zhaozhou, or so i 'hear' but i still see lots of people with issues with ati.. but then again. I dont even know what cards are 'newer' any more. [06:11] ^paradox^: yes [06:11] zhaozhou: ? [06:11] mib_vc9mkg, First off, i have no idea what contrab is. However, that looks like a cron-line, is'nt it? [06:11] ^paradox^: I'm also having problems with pidgin and my yahoo account. No problems with the other protocols in pidgin [06:11] zhaozhou: no :( [06:11] I dont think CRON can run a job every second.. [06:11] hey guys is there another browser here on ubuntu rather that firefox? [06:11] # m h dom mon dow command [06:11] dr_willis, I'd say cards from the HD-series are 'newer' cards. [06:11] dr_willis, Nope, it does not. [06:11] mib_vc9mkg, Then i can't help you, sir. :-( [06:11] dr_willis: are you sure ? [06:12] zhaozhou: http://ardchoille.nfshost.com/Linux/CrontabTutorial [06:12] I seem to recall that in the cron docs. it checks the list once a min.. or somthing like that. [06:12] zhaozhou: ok np :) [06:12] I cant imagaine what you need to run every sec. [06:12] zhaozhou, how bout the distros that basically have graphic environment where you hit a button to see boot process and you have use of your mouse already as well? what is that [06:12] ToXiCTeArS, i use Opera a lot [06:12] dr_willis: a bash script for monitoring [06:12] ardchoille, Thank you. [06:12] mib_vc9mkg, i would say make the script actually do the polling then. Not cron. [06:12] yw [06:13] dr_willis: how can i download another browser when i cant open firefox? plz help [06:13] Hey [06:13] Can someone help me install midori? [06:13] <^paradox^> look i know this may not be a big deal to everyone, but when ur about to lose needed aspects of your project (which are private and cant be mentioned) it escalates quickly [06:13] excuse me, in filezilla how do you fill out the host, username, and password? [06:13] hi i have 8.10 live cd running on hp laptop - but doesn't recognize wifi interface [06:14] dfgas, I have no idea which distros is specific you are talking about, but well... hitting a button to see the boot process is really quite simple. You can do that in ubuntu too, can't you? I'd say mouse is some sort of gpm-utility. [06:14] dr_willis: how can i download another browser when i cant open firefox? plz help [06:14] when i go system > administration > hardware drivers - it shows that atheros is enabled [06:14] Myrth: what is the model of the laptop? [06:14] flash performance [06:14] improving? [06:14] Can anyone help me install midori? I don't use ubuntu often and dont know how the package management system works [06:14] ToXiCTeArS, Via your package manager. [06:14] ToXiCTeArS use wget [06:14] pavilion dv6000 [06:14] and ask someone a link [06:14] ToXiCTeArS: why can't you open firefox? Tried from the terminal? [06:15] jctheman: ejabberd mostly. In most cases it is companys smaller than 50 and i mostly use it as a helpdesk type tool as im deveoloping something for them. [06:15] Can anyone help me install midori? I don't use ubuntu often and dont know how the package management system works [06:15] ToXiCTeArS, theres a few alterantive browsers you could apt-get install, then go to the opera homepage.. I cant track down a direct link for opera [06:15] !info dilo [06:15] Package dilo does not exist in intrepid [06:15] !info dillo [06:15] dillo (source: dillo): Small and fast web browser. In component universe, is extra. Version 0.8.6-3 (intrepid), package size 408 kB, installed size 1140 kB [06:15] shad0ww0fsin: pavillion dv6000 [06:15] opera is in the repos, or so I thought [06:15] !opera [06:15] opera is an advanced and free (only as in price) web browser. Install it via Applications->Add/Remove..., making sure that "Show commercial applications" (dapper only) is checked. For more info on opera please see: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/OperaBrowser [06:15] carandraug: i suppose to update it so i followed some instruction on a site but i guess i done something wrong [06:16] declan_: you go to Add/Remove.. and search for the program. In your case, midori [06:16] hello all... ive been having issues installing the new nvidia legacy drivers (173.14.15) i have installed them on a fresh ibex install and i still cant get compiz to work....is there anyone that could possibly help me? [06:16] Opera is the best. :-) Especially v. 10. [06:16] Myrth: see this: http://aldeby.org/blog/index.php/howto-ubuntu-linux-on-hp-pavilion-dv2000-dv6000-dv9000-series-laptops#wireless [06:16] carandraug, I did...it doesn't have midori for some reason! [06:16] ToXiCTeArS: remove and the reinstall it [06:16] how? [06:16] carandraug, could it be because I'm using xubuntu? [06:16] declan_: what ubuntu version do you have? It appears in 8.10 [06:17] everytime i think i love opera, i find something critical that forces me to not use it..like on my treo phone, great browser, buuuut 3 out of 5 times i fire it up. it hangs the entire phone. [06:17] declan_: I doubt it. What version do you have? There's a drop down menu. Make sure it's selected "All available applications" and then search for midori [06:17] Yeah one sec [06:17] uname -s is it? [06:17] declan_: open a terminal and type: lsb_release -a [06:18] Ahhhh [06:18] 7.10 gutsy [06:18] grendal_prime, Haha, nice. So what's your favourite browser? Firefox? [06:18] That would be the problem, no? [06:18] caradraug:how can i install and reinstall firefox? [06:18] i have a partitioned hard drive and i wanna delete ubuntu from HD, but ubuntu is my default OS and grub comes up to boot ubuntu. if i delete ubuntu will my computer boot normally??? or will there be errors? [06:18] declan_: let me see. I'll check the package list of 7.10 [06:18] i have a laptop that will only run 710 because of video card..sucks...but oh well the wife likes it fine( you can still brows and buy shoes with 710) [06:19] !anjuta [06:19] Sorry, I don't know anything about anjuta [06:19] anthony, That depends on how you delete ubuntu. [06:19] carandraug, would it be hard/beneficial to change to 8.10? [06:19] i wanna delete it using windows [06:19] shad0w0fsin: thank you! :) [06:19] anthony, there are files on the partition that the boot process needs to boot your computer, if those gets deleted your boot process is destroyed. [06:19] read ann landers with 710, watch encoded harry potter films (over and over again) and read online books...all with 710 [06:20] ToXiCTeArS: "sudo apt-get purge firefox" and then "sudo apt-get install firefox" [06:20] Hi, How to list all unavailable hardware? [06:20] carandraug, Is'nt it sudo apt-get remove --purnge firefox? [06:20] What channel do I ask ubuntu networking questions in? [06:20] Kelen, lspci or lshw. [06:20] declan_: it should be easy but upgrades can be tricky sometimes and problems appear in some cases. You'd have to update first to 8.04. [06:20] newbnewb, Here, or in #networking. [06:21] ok... so if i wanna delete ubuntu. how can i with out destroying anything? [06:21] Link to Opera --> ftp://ftp.ussg.iu.edu/pub/opera/linux/962/final/en/i386/opera_9.62.2466.gcc4.qt4_i386.deb [06:21] dr_willis, gcc4? qt4? really? [06:21] carandraug: this computer is older than god [06:21] What is the easiest way to configure a home network like this... DSL Modem ---> Ubuntu Desktop ---> Wireless linksys router [06:21] anthony, if you delete the ubuntu partitiosn. you will need to use the proper windows tools. to reinstall the mbr [06:21] pre-millenium I think [06:21] zhaozhou: yes, i know this, but it's list all available hardware's info. [06:21] zhaozhou, i noticed that also.. theres 5 differetn versions.. that just happened to be one i selected the link on... Not tried it [06:22] zhaozhou: i wish i could get firefox on my treo...well i have to use the one that it came with but on my laptop ya i use firefox...i mean come on it works.. and you cant argue that. I mean honestly i like the kde desktop, but this laptop came with ubuntu not kubuntu and when i installed the kubuntu desktop alot of stuff flat out was ...sketchy, i go with what works, unless that thing that works is owned my MS. [06:22] ftp://ftp.ussg.iu.edu/pub/opera/linux/962/final/en/i386/opera_9.62.2466.gcc4.qt3_i386.deb [06:22] So, I'm on an Asus EeePC HDA, and I have done everything listed under the Eee community wiki page, but [06:22] Kelen, Hmm, what are you looking for then? [06:22] it will not work! i cannot get wirelseas. [06:22] windows tools? like the original disk right? [06:22] wireless* [06:22] Quick way to check if a system supports x86_64 instruction set? Preferably from the command line? [06:22] anyone got a HP dv6000 Laptop [06:22] zhaozhou: i wanna know with one hardware is unavailable on this system.. [06:22] declan_: I checked. It's not in the 7.10 repositories. You'll have to compile it yourself or upgrade ubuntu [06:22] dr_willis, Should be a qt3 gcc3 version. O.o [06:22] anthony, yes. You will need to restore the original windows boot loader/mbr - [06:23] damn it... [06:23] carandraug: how do I upgrade/how long would it take? [06:23] grendal_prime, Man, i could go on forever why not to use firefox. But well, it's your choice. [06:23] Hello guys! I would like to learn some c++. what kind of compilers are there for linux? I have only tried bloodshed in windows [06:23] zhaozhou: you're right. It's remove --purge [06:23] zhaozhou: so, Is there any idea for this require? [06:23] Kelen, I'm not following. lshw sais which hardware is unused. [06:23] Well, I tried to follow that website you gave me, but the 2nd command keeps failing. [06:24] ya declan_ i know what you mean...i damn alot of things too..its part of my religeon ...its my job for my church...i damn stuff...i curse alot too. [06:24] just the boot loader right? will i loose any data doing this? [06:24] the command was: sudo insmod /lib/modules/`uname -r`/volatile/fglrx.ko says Operation not permitted. [06:24] Just out of interest how much space does a mirror of all ubuntu repo's take? [06:24] dekkong gcc [06:24] declan_: it dependes on your connection. You'll have to upgrade to 8.04 first. In my case it took around 3-4 hours [06:25] brokenbyzero, you are using BACKTICKS ` ` ` not single quotes by mistake ' ' ' are you? [06:25] I copied that directly from the website. [06:25] I'm going to start using Flyback as a backup management utility with ubuntu. That way if i install some new software update/version and it breaks my machine i can easily roll back. however what directories would i need to backup? Where is all the 'important' stuff similar to c:\program files on windows?? Thanks! [06:25] The previous command had backticks but it worked. [06:25] noobie_snacks everywhere [06:25] declan_: you won't have to upgrade to 8.10. Repositories of 8.04 already have midori [06:25] zhaozhou: well you have heard my plight..ive tried opera and i still do on occation. The day it does everything i need..hell ill adopt it, but like i say there is always something that comes up that just flat out forces me not to use it. [06:26] stdiopt: thank you [06:26] noobie_snacks: yeah basically everything in / except home [06:26] RhysU, /proc/cpuinfo should have info on this, i just can't remember what flags you should be looking for [06:26] dekkong usually on /usr [06:26] just the boot loader right? can i loose any data doing this? [06:26] the locking up the phone is just a big fat nono in my book [06:26] partoes [06:26] but root dirs are important to system so [06:26] noobie_snacks: what I do is use a live cd that has partimage on it and backup the / partition, takes me about 10 minutes, and it's easy to restore [06:26] /bin /lib etc.. [06:26] !sysresccd | noobie_snacks [06:26] noobie_snacks: SystemRescueCd is a Linux system on a bootable CD-ROM. It contains a number of admin tools including gparted and partimage. http://sysresccd.org/Main_Page [06:26] anthony, if you really want to be safe backup stuff. [06:26] carandraug: my connection is actually VERY fast, but the comp itself is a dinosaur [06:26] dr_willis: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/ATI is the website that i'm following [06:26] how much is it dependent on processor speed/ram? [06:26] anthony, changing the bootloader shouldent mess with the data.. [06:27] grendal_prime, Heh. Man, since first day i tried it I've never looked back. Tried firefox a few times along the way but, just as you, it forces me back to opera. [06:27] hi people. does anyone play second life? i found this http://www.byteme.org.uk/secondlife/apt-get-a-secondlife.html and i dont know 2 things yet. What is the name of the package i have to install? If the name of the package is slviewer, it is still on v1.20, but the real secondlife executable provided from their site is v1.21. Will i be able to log to secondlife if i have a non-latest version? [06:27] what does reformating a drive do and will drivers installed be uninstalled? [06:27] fghfhf [06:27] brokenbyzero, all ive ever done with my ati cards.. is load the driver susing the restricted-drivers tool. [06:27] VistaUser, formatting a drive means removing everything on the drive. [06:27] When I do that it reverts me to 800x600 resolution and disables direct rendering [06:27] dr_willis did u have any problem with compiz and overlay flickering? [06:27] Ok thanks i feel like a such noob ha ha ha [06:27] declan_: if it's a fast connectoin, maybe it will take less time. But backup before upgrading. Sometimes it can go awfully wrong [06:27] oooo lol [06:28] VistaUser, imagine the drive as a field. in order to install (plant) something on it you need to format (plow) it first. anything on it is lost [06:28] is there a channel i can go to to get help for the nvidia legacy drivers? [06:28] brokenbyzero, perhaps you need to configure the monitor/res after installing the drivers. check if the drivers are installed/working. then see what res's yopu can select in the setting tools. (and i havent messed with ati in a year+ so i dont rember much more about them) [06:28] oooooooooooooooo [06:28] can someone help me out. I am having a problem installing ubuntu from an .iso on the hard drive. [06:28] hmm wish they would include a utility similar to this in the package manager [06:28] or just the ability to roll back version numbers if an upgrade breaks pc :-/ [06:28] perfect world right? :D [06:28] stdiopt: ok :) [06:28] jim_p, Nice one. [06:28] for the person having a problem with yahoo im, my cell phone can't even log into yahoo im right now, looks like they're having a temp problem [06:28] !anyone [06:29] 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? [06:29] StevenX, with wubi? [06:29] !ask | StevenX [06:29] StevenX: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [06:29] StevenX what prob? [06:29] if i reformat and install drivers be better than using a revovery disc from HP? [06:29] stdiopt: I am using the instructions located a this url: http://deepbluespaces.blogspot.com/2008/07/install-ubuntu-804-from-hard-disk.html [06:29] zhaozhou, thanks. i know this example ~15 years now. our computing teacher told it 1st time [06:29] Is there another thing I can do to make the comp even faster? I'm already using xubuntu [06:29] I'd use an even simple DE if its lighter [06:29] VistaUser, Thing is, if you reformat you'll have to use the recovery discs, you wont have an OS left on the HDD. [06:29] stdiopt: I can get the installer prompt, but at a certain point, it tells me that it was unable to mount the cdrom drive. [06:29] VistaUser, hard to tell.. the recovery disks often install lots of Pre-isntalled-crapware from HP.. but then again. tehy may also install some utilities you need. [06:29] is openbox faster? [06:30] f/m [06:30] zhaozhou: you can install a light window manager like fluxbox or openbox [06:30] declan_, more minimal is always faster.. if you can make do without the extas [06:30] StevenX i did install my ubuntu 8.10 by iso [06:30] whats the url for hardy packages.gz [06:30] dr_willis: are you bash monkey ? [06:30] jim_p, I've learn't it all the hard way. There is this metal plate where you store magnetic data, and flipping... etc. etc. [06:30] dr_willis, I know. I'm asking what I can get rid of [06:30] u know what dev is your cdrom? [06:30] exacly.? [06:30] mib_vc9mkg, I rarely do much bash scripting [06:30] declan_: you have fluxbox [06:30] i have the recovery discs and Vista ( trial i got from toshiba laptop) [06:30] stdiopt: Yes. It is /dev/sda4. [06:31] carandraug, that's lighter than xfce? [06:31] ardchoille, Where? If the disc is formatted there is nothing left? [06:31] declan_, disable useless services. if possible make a server install and install xorg and whatever you wish after that. thats what i do. perfectionist to the bone! [06:31] declan_, if you install fluxbox, you dont really need to remove xfce, you can use what parts of xfce you like [06:31] StevenX wondering why u need cdrom? [06:31] dr_willis: one question. this is my code http://rafb.net/p/rTi26F23.html i should include a loop in it (while) [06:31] hi there all [06:31] Just out of interest how much space does a mirror of all ubuntu repo's take? [06:31] declan_: much lighter. But you can keep both and then decide on login [06:31] dr_willis: can you help me to apply it ? [06:31] ardchoille, Hmm, wait. That might have been misplaced. [06:31] fgugjfgjfgj [06:32] Nice, how do I get fluxbox [06:32] core10: Did you have a question? [06:32] sudo apt-get install fluxbox? [06:32] mib_vc9mkg, i would check the ABS guide for examples that do what you want then modify them. thats where i normally start [06:32] stdiopt: what did you use in this line in the menu.lst: kernel /vmlinuz boot=casper iso-scan/filename=/ubuntu-8.10-alternate-i386.iso [06:32] declan_: "sudo apt-get install fluxbox" I believe [06:32] sexy [06:32] dr_willis, Do know that fluxbox requires alot of configuring before it's really usable. [06:32] dr_willis: you cant help me ? [06:32] stdiopt: as you can see, boot=casper might be the problem. I didn't know what to put there so I just left it. [06:32] StevenX i didn't like that [06:32] kontollllllllll [06:33] zhaozhou: when I used fluxbox on Gutsy, the menu was the only thing really time-consuming, but that may be betternow [06:33] core10: Please take offtopic chatter elsewhere, thanks. [06:33] declan_, what are your pc specs? if you are on some dual core with 2gb of ram, dont expect fluxbox to make huge difference [06:33] StevenX i did an harder way, and dam and if i knew that grub boots iso :s [06:33] stdiopt: lol. [06:33] jim_p, this machine is from...oh, 1998 I think [06:33] zhaozhou, try it and see.. deends on how you define 'useable' i guess.. it does the jobs a window-manager does... [06:33] ardchoille, I never use any menues on *box, the keyconfig however is a pain to configure. [06:33] sempek......................... [06:33] I have 192 MB ram [06:33] !id | core10 [06:33] core10: join ke #ubuntu-id untuk membahas ubuntu dalam bahasa Indonesia [06:33] declan_, give it to me and i will install ANYTHING you wish. ligghtweight of course [06:34] hello [06:34] zhaozhou, i normally just cuseomize the menus to include the terminal and a few apps i use.. i dont need the fkuxbox menu to show 1000000 items. :) [06:34] dr_willis, I have, multiple times. :-) [06:34] StevenX i fdisk a drive, and unpacked a file from iso into the FS, then i changed passwd and some other files (so that i can login) setupped grub to that FS kernel, and booted [06:34] declan_, then the best bet is to go server install + only necesary stuff. it uses less drive space too [06:34] declan_: have you tried vector linux? I've heard it's one of the best distros to computers that old. Or debian (but debian requires more configuration) [06:34] dr_willis, True, but still, the keybindings is the heart of *box, you _need_ those. :-D [06:34] declan_, i can guide you if you want [06:35] carandraug, this is actually working pretty great, it's just a little slow [06:35] zhaozhou, cant say that i ever bothered eith the fluxbox keybindings [06:35] jim_p, what I could really use help with is finding a browser thats much lighter than FF [06:35] id flanel [06:35] zhaozhou, for a light WM i tend to use jwm [06:35] Ok, I'm gonna try fluxbox, brb [06:35] is there like a disc fragmentator on ubuntu? [06:35] dr_willis, I'm currently on wmii, love it. Everything is configured just the way i want it at start. [06:35] declan_, hmmm let me think. Does opera count? [06:35] declan_: try kasehaze. Not sure it's in the repos [06:35] !defrag | VistaUser [06:35] VistaUser: The default Ubuntu filesystem (ext3) is engineered to avoid fragmentation issues in most cases, see http://linkpot.net/behead/ for a simple example on how it achieves this. [06:36] declan_, lynx will be useless there [06:36] VistaUser: we don't usually have to worry about defragging [06:36] ooo kk [06:36] anyone trying to use the ath5k driver and hostapd on 8.10? whenever i try to use interface=wlan0 and driver=madwifi in my hostapd.conf, i get these errors when running "hostapd -d -d -d /etc/hostapd/hostapd.conf": http://pastebin.com/d363b78cd [06:36] !fstab [06:36] The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab and http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions [06:36] i wish ubuntu was more compatible LOL [06:36] i don't know why the madwifi driver isn't initializing :( [06:36] gdhdhhxh [06:36] VistaUser, compatible how? [06:37] like all my games and what not [06:37] Vratha, try disabling/removing network manager [06:37] i like ubuntus low use of memory and hard drive space [06:37] how do i view an ms (troff) file? [06:37] what's the command I need to put into fstab if I want to mount a device (/dev/sda4) into a dir (/home), with the device being ext3. [06:37] jim_p: you mean the network-manager package? [06:37] VistaUser: Have you checked winehq's compatability lists? [06:37] VistaUser, You should try damn small linux. :-D [06:38] well im out.. i need to get some real work done...you guys...peace out seeeeeeeeeeeeeeee yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa [06:38] yah [06:38] Vratha, yea. its my most hated package ever! do you use static ips? you can also use wicd for wireless [06:38] StevenX, /dev/sda1 /home ext3 defaults 0 0 [06:38] i guess ill dual boot but i dont like how i got to reboot all the time to change [06:38] zhaozhou: thanks. [06:39] VistaUser, You could simply use virtualbox inside windows. [06:39] jim_p: i'll remove it to see if it helps. on the wireless side i use static IPs; on the wired side i use DHCP [06:39] virtualbox is handy [06:39] what u mean i can boot linux in windows? [06:39] does anyone play second life? i found this http://www.byteme.org.uk/secondlife/apt-get-a-secondlife.html and i dont know 2 things yet. What is the name of the package i have to install? If the name of the package is slviewer, it is still on v1.20, but the real secondlife executable provided from their site is v1.21. Will i be able to log to secondlife if i have a non-latest version? [06:39] VistaUser, Yup, you can. [06:40] well thats no fun :P [06:40] VistaUser, what he means is "use virtualization". virtualization never harmed anyone... except vista as a guest os [06:40] VistaUser, Well it's handy. :-D [06:40] lol [06:40] it is! i can live without vbox zhaozhou [06:40] may i have link? [06:40] virtualbox.org [06:41] can i do vice versa? [06:41] Won't qemu allow you to run a Windows OS inside Ubuntu? [06:41] jim_p, Well I'm no windows user so i can definitely live without virtualbox. [06:41] Vratha, tell me when you are done. upon removal all connections may drom [06:41] run windows, running vbox.. running linux.. running vbox. running windows.... [06:41] ardchoille, So will virtualbox. [06:41] zhaozhou, what do you use for virtualization? [06:41] hello all... ive been having issues installing the new nvidia legacy drivers (173.14.15) i have installed them on a fresh ibex install (plus current updates) and i still cant get compiz to work....is there anyone that could possibly help me? what is frustrating is that 173.14.12 works fine on a fresh install but is broken after the updates. [06:41] VistaUser: there ya go [06:42] You can run either OS inside the other. :) [06:42] carandraug: fluxbox didn't work [06:42] jim_p, I don't. :-) [06:42] dr_willis, why would you run virtualbox under virtualbox [06:42] I use vbox under windows to test out live cd's [06:42] Like, when I selected it under session, it loaded a screen [06:42] Commie_Cary, because you can. :P [06:42] VistaUser, yes you can do vice versa, but 3d acceleration inside virtualization is minimal to none [06:42] But no icons or anything [06:42] so i can be on linux and run vista? will drivers work? [06:42] declan_, yes.. try right clicking the mouse. [06:42] dr_willis, Haha, that would be fun really. I have to try that. [06:42] declan_, thats fluxbox! [06:42] declan_, fluxbox is a 'window manager' thats it.. :) not a desktop [06:43] dr_willis, jim_p...so how do I use it with xfce? [06:43] declan_, you run whatever specidfic xfce parts you want I guess.... [06:43] declan_, you will need an app to draw the desktop. thunar can do it, pcmanfm can etc [06:43] declan_: fluxbox is a window manager, xfce is a desktop environment, they're different animals [06:43] declan_, but then youa re sort of loseing the reason for using fluxbox if you run all of xfce with it. [06:43] declan_, xfce uses 'xfwm' as its window manager [06:44] VistaUser, can you please be more specific on what you want to do? [06:44] does anyone play second life? i found this http://www.byteme.org.uk/secondlife/apt-get-a-secondlife.html and i dont know 2 things yet. What is the name of the package i have to install? If the name of the package is slviewer, it is still on v1.20, but the real secondlife executable provided from their site is v1.21. Will i be able to log to secondlife if i have a non-latest version? [06:44] dr_willis, can you run virtualbox under parallels under vmware? [06:44] :P [06:44] declan_, You can get icons in fluxbox too though, i think it's called idesktop or something. You could just google it if you feel like configuring fluxbox to your needs. [06:44] Commie_Cary, proberly can. [06:44] nvm i figured it out [06:44] lol [06:44] nickname pen [06:44] ty but :P [06:44] zhaozhou, yeah, I don't want to mess anything up [06:44] hey guys! what actually does apt-get clean remove? [06:45] no even better! [06:45] linear algebra hw I guess it is [06:45] dekkong: The downloaded deb files [06:45] dekkong, downloaded packages left as cache [06:45] declan_, You wont, you never will. If you mess anything up, just boot your livecd and reinstall. No damage done! [06:45] jim_p: are they safe to remove ..I guess yes? [06:45] dr_willis, can you run virtualbox under qemu emulating x86 under qemu emulating powerpc under virtualbox under parallels under vmware? [06:46] dekkong, yes if you have a fast connection and you dont mind redownloading something === dmsuperman is now known as Vertacos [06:46] Commie_Cary, yes.. - happy? [06:46] dekkong: yes, but if you haven't installed them yet, you need to dl them again to install [06:46] dr_willis, yus === Vertacos is now known as dmsuperman [06:46] id [06:46] Commie_Cary, ive ran pc -> windows -> amiga emulator -> c64 emulator :) [06:47] I have started cheops-ng. It starts and asks me for 'Agent hostname:' What do I have to put in here? [06:47] declan_: I was away. What was the problem? No icons on the desktop? That's normal. That's how fluxbox works. It has no window manager. Thunar is quite good an lightweight [06:47] carandraug, It has no desktop manager. [06:48] i can schedule a shutdown alright, but is there a way to schedule the machine to "suspend" [06:48] or rather...what is the way [06:48] xdhdxfhxdh [06:48] one of these days i will switch to fvwm, period :P [06:48] zhaozhou: well, he quited in the mean anyway. [06:48] ok thx guys .. I could not start Synaptic normally because I was out of space :) [06:48] jasuus, You should have the suspend-command, right? [06:48] core1: Please stop that [06:48] hey how do u get more rooms [06:48] carandraug, Xd [06:49] jasuus lol [06:49] penrith: /join #room [06:50] can anyone help me install ubuntu on a dell xps one [06:50] sabayonweb_29775, Download CD. Burn CD. Boot CD. Install Ubuntu. [06:50] sabayonweb_29775, :-) [06:50] i cant get livecd to boot it stops when gets to startx [06:51] sabayonweb_29775, You should'nt have to startx, GDM starts at boot. [06:51] hi. what's the best way to incorporate GCC? [06:51] ra rohhhhhhh [06:51] sabayonweb_29775, Could be problems with graphic driver though. [06:51] core1, ... [06:51] itil [06:51] i normally use sabayon and it wont boot either [06:51] well enabling restricted drivers all but killed my computer [06:51] i have a couple machines i need to use alternate install disk in order to install [06:51] sabayonweb_29775, I figured of your nick. [06:52] hi. how do i get rid of this damn compiz thing so i can use my multiple workspaces again? [06:52] ah sudo /etc/acpi/sleepbtn.sh does the trick [06:52] Right now I'm suffering at under 1fps on IRC and direct rendering is off [06:52] sabayonweb_29775, You could, however, try to install the graphicdriver you need, then startx. [06:52] they say my video card may not be supported yet [06:52] brokenbyzero, 1fps on irc? what? [06:52] sabayonweb_29775, Which videocard do you have? [06:52] zhaozhou: how do i do that [06:52] sabayonweb_29775, sudo apt-get install [06:53] Yes, each time I type a letter or somebody talks it freezes my entire screen and slowly loads everything back [06:53] Hi, I just updated my EEE1000 to Intrepid and now gnome seems to crash, sending me back to GDM. The Failsafe Gnome session works flawlessly, up to and including compiz working perfectly in failsafe mode. Does anyone know how I might fix this, or even how I could just make a new session based on the Failsafe but without the annoying warning dialog at log in? [06:53] zhaozhou: intel g33 something [06:53] When installing/uninstalling using apt-get or synaptic, how clean is it? I mean, if I install 10 apps and remove 10 apps, does it leave lots of leftovers like crummy windows tends to do? [06:54] sabayonweb_29775, That's a chipset, no video driver. [06:54] sabayonweb_29775, Oh, and i have that one too. [06:54] i cant live cd for ubuntu to boot [06:54] sabayonweb_29775, videocard* [06:54] system_, very few 'left overs' if any.. Note that remioving an app. does NOT remove the settings files from th users home directories [06:55] sabayonweb_29775, If you do not have a separate videocard, you have an intel GMA, this card is fully supported by both sabayon and ubuntu. [06:55] well dell xps one a2010 is an allinond desktop [06:55] all-in-one [06:55] system_: also removing an app is not the same as purging an app, see: man apt-get [06:55] how would i go about installing GCC? is there a meta package available that installs all needed tools? [06:55] dr_willis: Ah. Ok. On Windows (Insert version), when I try to make clean disk images, I always tried not to install and remove crap because it always leaves junk behind. [06:55] sabayonweb_29775, XPS desktops usually does have separate videocards though... [06:55] !compile | new feats [06:55] new feats: Compiling software from source?

[06:56] i have lower end model [06:56] sabayonweb_29775, Is there a videocard with integrated tv tuner? Or is that separate? [06:57] i am going to go play call of duty 4 [06:57] cya [06:57] I just updated the Ubuntu partition on my MacBook, and X is having trouble starting [06:57] VistaUser, Nice, good luck and have fun. [06:57] ty :P [06:57] GDM keeps alternating between the spinning cursor and the normal cursor without displaying anything [06:57] zhaozhou: think it isnt seperate not sure [06:57] And when I try to use startx, it says something about NewInputDeviceRequest failing [06:58] hey guys, i have vista installed on this machine and have chopped the partition in half. if i install ubuntu on that second partitino how difficult is it to get GRUB to give me the option to load vista if i need to? [06:58] do get that driver do i boot into a console from cd the do command then startx [06:58] budz0r_, It's impossible not to have grub give you that option if you are using the ubuntu installer. [06:58] does anyone play second life? i found this http://www.byteme.org.uk/secondlife/apt-get-a-secondlife.html and i dont know 2 things yet. What is the name of the package i have to install? If the name of the package is slviewer, it is still on v1.20, but the real secondlife executable provided from their site is v1.21. Will i be able to log to secondlife if i have a non-latest version? [06:58] wow installing ubuntu from a pen drive is like 10000000 times faster (takes 10 minutes from booting into live mode to an installed desktop) [06:58] Does anyone have any idea why that would happen or how I could fix it?

[07:04] of ips [07:04] veltsu u should check for change logs or something if worth it of upgrading [07:04] sometimes just changes some drivers that wont matter to u [07:05] zhaozhou, well i installed ubuntu first once, then made the partition and installed xp and couldnt get grub to show me the option [07:05] blood, You want to scan a range of IPs to find what?

In the terminal: sudo apt-get build-dep package [07:12] !info gyachi [07:12] Package gyachi does not exist in intrepid [07:12] Don't exist in hardy either [07:12] zhaozhou, that wont do much good if gyachi is not in the repos to begin with. :) [07:12] dr_willis, True. [07:12] gyachi may be in the PPA repos if its popular [07:12] also only works for the build-dep of the version of the package in the repo [07:12] It's in source code.......... now what? [07:13] https://launchpad.net/~loell/+archive/+build/744838 [07:13] so if you are trying to build a newer version it doesn't help [07:13] wolfwalker, you may want to check ouit the launchpad ppa repos instead of messign with source. [07:13] Right, how do I add them? [07:13] wolfwalker, cd to the source dir. . ./configure , and look for error emssages [07:13] guys, anyone can advise me how to change the view (picture before login page - which show loading status) -- i don't know what it called [07:13] exit [07:13] doh [07:13] is there any way to manually configure resolutions for X ? since in xorg.conf it states that some things are automatically configured and in that file ignored [07:14] szia [07:14] zhaozhou: got ubuntu to boot i picked safe graphics mode [07:14] jim_p: i brought down the NetworkManager but didn't remove it. no effect on hostapd [07:14] !launchpad [07:14] Launchpad is a collection of development services for Open Source projects. It's Ubuntu's bug tracker, and much more; see https://launchpad.net/ [07:14] i believe the problem with ath5k and hostapd must be something different [07:14] Hi Guys, recently installed ubuntustudio 8.10 along with a regular ubuntu install. The problem is that my mounted drives does not show up on the desktop. The pendrives that I mount is also not visible even though they are mounted if I look in nautilus. Anyone have a solution for this? Thanks! [07:14] !hostapd [07:14] Sorry, I don't know anything about hostapd [07:14] :/ [07:14] !launchpad app [07:14] Sorry, I don't know anything about launchpad app [07:14] Vratha, give me a sec to look up [07:14] !launchpad ppa [07:14] Sorry, I don't know anything about launchpad ppa [07:15] Grrrr [07:15] Hello People. [07:15] guys, anyone can advise me how to change the view (picture before login page - which show loading status) -- i don't know what it called [07:15] wolfwalker, /msg ubottu ppa [07:15] furythor, Display is a subsection in the Screen section, in there you can put the Modes directive. [07:15] bingungaja, its called usplash [07:15] I have a question about mail. Do all users have local mailboxes? Or should they be created? [07:15] jim_p: np. i'll keep looking as well [07:16] Zhaozhou you mean in xorg.conf ? [07:16] zhaozhou: i dont see my wireless card in boot though [07:16] furythor, Yup. :-) [07:16] sabayonweb_73574, is it found in lsusb/lspci ? [07:17] sabayonweb_73574, Wireless support in livecd's is not something you often see [07:17] jim_p: is it called splash screen ? i tried to change the splash screen with "splash screen manager" and download the picture from gnome-look.org, but what happened is the "usplash" screen not changed, instead, a small picture show up in my screen after my login page, can u tell me why is that please ? [07:18] zhaozhou: broadcom bcm 4328 [07:18] furythor, To clarify you'd have Section "Screen", SubSection "Display", Modes "1024x768 800x600 somethingxsomething" [07:18] bingungaja, gnome has its own loading-splash.. thats not related to the boot up usplash splash screen. :) [07:18] sabayonweb_73574, Ah, 43xx, the famous black sheep. [07:18] i though there was built in support in the new kernals [07:19] let's see if that did help, restarting now. [07:19] bingungaja, the loading screen is named USPLASH and has a particular way of changing. its a terminal command and dialogs you go through. the other one is just a jpeg/bmp/png/whatever image [07:19] when my cron fails and send email which can be checked using mail -u where it that mail stored. local mailbox? how does that get created? [07:19] that's a freaky issue [07:19] I have started cheops-ng. It starts and asks me for 'Agent hostname:' What do I have to put in here? [07:19] bingungaja, usplash is a kernel module so it needs extra care [07:20] dr_willis: sorry i'm really confused here, i'm using ubuntu 8.10, i used ubuntu-studio theme, and it change my loading-splash, i want to change it with others, as i said i tried splash screen manager, and it doesn't work as i wished [07:20] sabayonweb_73574, Well it's in there, but if distros chose to compile it is their own choise [07:20] can I prevent an application from accessing internet? === rubatharisan is now known as Qubexy [07:21] jim_p: can u help me step by step to change the loading screen ? or tell me where i can find the tutorial please [07:21] kromium: yes. [07:21] bingungaja, oh... then you will have to go through sudo dpkg-reconfigure usplash [07:21] bingungaja, give me a sec [07:22] jim_p: thx [07:22] bullgard4: how to do that? [07:22] bingungaja, I'd suggest you try google "ubuntu bootsplash". [07:22] !usplash [07:22] To select the usplash artwork you want, use "sudo update-alternatives --config usplash-artwork.so && sudo update-initramfs -u" - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/USplashCustomizationHowto for adding your custom artwork [07:22] kromium: Do not start it. [07:22] zhaozhou: bootsplash and splash screen is different right ? [07:23] bingungaja, Yes, splash screen is what appears when you've logged in via GDM/KDM [07:23] I want to prevent it accessing internet not prevent me from using it [07:23] bingungaja, Bootsplash is waay before X [07:23] bingungaja, yeap thats the command sudo dpkg-reconfigure usplash the rest are on terminal dialog [07:23] I am not sure iptables can do that.. === sean is now known as Guest451 [07:24] zhaozhou: ok, thought it's the same ... what about bootsplash and usplash or loading splash, is it the same ? [07:24] kromium, Ooh, iptables, what are you trying to do? [07:24] jim_p: thx, i'll give it a try [07:24] bingungaja, you are welcome [07:25] bingungaja, do you get 2 "options" there? [07:26] zhaozhou: I have an binary in /usr/loca/bin. I don't want it to access internet [07:26] jim_p: update-initramfs: Generating /boot/initrd.img-2.6.27-9-generic [07:26] ==== don't know that it means [07:26] bingungaja, I think usplash is an application giving bootsplash. === theaaronc is now known as anomoly === anomoly is now known as theaaronc [07:27] bingungaja, dont interrupt it. it stiches the module on the kernel [07:28] jim_p: nothing happened, it back to the cursors statuss [07:28] zhaozhou: any easier way to do it using group permissions or something? [07:28] jim_p, I tried the usplash command but it did nothing. How do I use it to customize? [07:28] kromium, Aah, right, no, iptables can't do that. [07:28] bingungaja, well since you got no errors, end selected the ubuntu usplash, you are done. reboot to see the effects [07:28] kromium, No, not really. PAX can do it, but that's a bit tougher. [07:29] kromium, SELinux or alike could do it too. [07:29] has anyone managed to sync a wm2003 pda with evolution? [07:29] kromium, Also a bit tough. [07:29] hi [07:29] jim_p: oh ... do u mean it back to the original ubuntu usplash ? [07:29] zhaozhou: is SELinux installed in ubuntu by default? [07:29] i love ubuntu [07:29] vish, in order to change the default "image" there, you will need another custom "image" placed on the right place and then run the command [07:30] kromium, No. :-) [07:30] bingungaja, i am cinfused. what did you select at the dialogs? [07:30] hi guys did u found any bugs on ubuntu? [07:30] jim_p, where is the right place? [07:30] what is the syntax for installing updates? [07:30] kromium, And it's hard to install and maintain, don't try it out. [07:30] hi [07:30] bgh [07:31] hotte-: sudo apt-get update [07:31] sudo apt-get dist-upgrade [07:31] do i need any antivirus for ubuntu? [07:31] vish, in /usr/lib/usplash [07:31] waZ, No. [07:31] waZ: no [07:31] wao.. [07:31] very nice [07:31] btoogood, merci [07:31] waZ, only if you share files with some windows pc that has not [07:31] ok [07:31] jim_p: i just type the command u give me in the terminal, then it stated that statement, and then it's over, nothing happened --- is it mean it's already back to the original ubuntu 8.10 loading splash ? [07:32] I have started cheops-ng. It asks me for 'Agent hostname:' What do I have to put in here? [07:32] bingungaja, you did not get a "choose one of the available options" menu? [07:32] does anyone use Sun xVM VirtualBox? i have a question. not OSE version [07:32] jim_p: nah .... [07:32] jim_p, Thanks. [07:32] bingungaja, do me a favor ls /usr/lib/usplash/ [07:32] vish you are welcome [07:33] b......g wat is diffirent between ubuntu ver 8.04 and 8.10 [07:33] ??? [07:33] There is one thing you quickly learn from this channel. Never try to give tips to newbies that are not foolproof. xD [07:33] bingungaja, if there is ONE file in there, it selects that one, there is no "please select what you want" option [07:33] jim_p: hendri@hendri-laptop:~$ ls /usr/lib/usplash/ [07:33] ubuntustudio-theme.so usplash-artwork.so usplash-theme-ubuntu.so [07:33] wat is new in ubuntu 8.10?

[07:50] vish, use the alternative installer cd [07:50] hi is there a way to name ext3 partitions to something meaninful so that they mount in specific, sane places, rather than disk, disk-1, disk-2 etc, which depend on the mount sequence? [07:50] __kyle__, no [07:51] <__kyle__> hmm [07:51] vish, If the num lock is blinking that's a kernel panik [07:51] vish, Those ar baaad. [07:51] falieson, can you please pastebin the output?? === pete_ is now known as pete99 [07:51] <__kyle__> there should be a plugin where you can press a button to exit saving the firefox [07:51] <__kyle__> search the firefox addons area [07:51] Cobalt, their naming depends on the mounting point in fstab! [07:51] <__kyle__> ill try find it for you [07:51] panic* [07:51] i shouldnt have to add a plugin [07:52] Cobalt, mine are... "windows" and "large" [07:52] I have tried that. It too does not work. But installing inside windows works. It installs but you cannot start ubuntu. Will the acpi-workarounds option in grub work? [07:52] <__kyle__> hmm thats true [07:52] jim_p: they don't have entries in fstab, i mount them via the places menu, for removable devices. [07:52] oh wait [07:52] <__kyle__> do you have the download window open? [07:52] zhaozhou, Does that mean ubuntu does not work on his laptop at all? [07:52] Cobalt, you mount internal drives as removable ones?!!?!?! no wonder you get those names then [07:52] __kyle__, one moment plz [07:53] so I'm running apt-get and it hangs after listing all the packages that it will need to be installed and upgraded? any ideas? http://pastebin.com/m55810a67 [07:53] <__kyle__> mee, okay [07:53] zhaozhou: will vesa havw better then 800x600 after install? [07:53] vish, try the 32bit iso [07:53] jim_p: not my fault, during install, entries weren't made in fstab for those; besides, some of those, i don't want mounted all the time, anyhow - such as drives for backup. now, how do i name them? [07:53] jim_p, I tried that too. Does not boot. I get a BusyBox Shell. [07:53] vish, I'm sure it will. Reasons for a panic to occur is endless. I can't pinpoint the reason, but I'd first of all say try another livecd which uses a different kernel. === sean is now known as Guest76290 [07:54] falieson, issue a sudo apt-get upgrade [07:54] zhaozhou, I tried 8.04 and 8.10 [07:54] jim_p: i attached the psatebin [07:54] falieson, i know i see it [07:54] jim_p: I don' [07:54] __kyle__, got it; it was a setting within firefox. [07:54] <__kyle__> oh ok [07:54] <__kyle__> cheer [07:54] <__kyle__> s [07:54] jim_p: I don't want to upgrade, I'm worried it may kill my install [07:54] Cobalt, well you can have a driver set to noauto so as it wont automount [07:54] cheers [07:54] vish, When booting you can press a button saying "more boot options". WHen you press this you get a little commandline at the bottom. Delete "quiet splash -" out of that command line and boot [07:55] falieson, it wont. also try aptitude to see how it goes [07:55] vish, WHen you do that you'll get a much more verbose boot, and it'll start telling you what goes horribly wrong. [07:55] Cobalt, *a drive [07:55] jim_p: what does aptitude do? [07:55] jim_p: okay, but that's still not my question. forget the mounts. how do i name an ext3 partition? is it possible? [07:55] falieson, its an apt alternative [07:55] Cobalt, Yes, via udev-rules. [07:56] Cobalt, Oh, wait, and labels. [07:56] Cobalt, the names depend on the mount points. use constant mount points [07:56] I have a dumb question that I can't seem to find the answer in the FAQ etc. Is there an easy way to put the nick of the person you are talking to at the beginning of the line? [07:56] Is there any way to install the 32 bit version on the 64 bit laptop? zhaozhou The verbose boot I gett by pressing ctrl-alt-funkkey too..they show a lot of internal errors. [07:56] zhaozhou: and that's possible without losing data on the said drive? [07:56] bo1: type a few letters, then hit tab [07:56] vish, Sure, just insert the 32bit cd and go. [07:56] Flannel: Can i Change my interface name for eg eth1 to eth0 ? [07:56] falieson, sudo aptitude upgade [07:56] bo1: most clients will tab complete the nick for you [07:56] Cobalt, said? [07:57] Cobalt, oh wait [07:57] Cobalt, Yes, sure, just label it, it'll be fine. [07:57] Flannel: cool!!!! thanks [07:57] Cobalt, or udev-rule it. [07:57] zhaozhou: umm, is it possible to label the drives without losing information already stored on them? [07:57] zhaozhou, I did but it does not boot and it shows me a busybox shell commmand line.(initramfs) [07:57] Cobalt, Yes. :-) i think you have command named e2label or alike [07:58] zhaozhou: udev-rule seemed a little too complex for what i wanted to do. i just want to assign a sane name to the drive/partition. [07:58] zhaozhou: thanks, i'll look into that. [07:58] well jim_p i guess I'll trust you! :-P and will blame you and hunt you down if it breaks! I've had this install running for almost a year! haha [07:58] vish, Which did you do? Did you udev-rule it or label it? [07:58] vish, Oh wait, wrong person. [07:58] i just installed mono-2-devel from synaptics. how do i start it now? [07:58] All wrong there. [07:58] who shit [07:58] falieson, lol ok challenge accepted [07:58] zhaozhou, Err, I think you asked the wrong person. [07:59] vish, This is where you should get a verbose boot. We can't know what's happening in these scenarios. [07:59] can the packet manager open this file: jdk-6u11-linux-i586.bin [07:59] falieson, is there a chance the drive is full? [07:59] Cobalt, Well, it depends on where you want the name, really. [07:59] ubuntoRoxx, nope. [07:59] ubuntoRoxx: Whats wrong with the java in the repos? [07:59] jim_p: How do i then open it? [07:59] zhaozhou: how do you mean? [07:59] Cobalt, If you label it you wont really be able to see the name in average days, it'll just be a label. You can look it up, but you wont see it. [08:00] Cobalt, If you udev-rule it you have a character device to use that's correctly named, but this does not matter when it's mounted anyway. [08:00] zhaozhou, Do you mean the 32 bit version usually installs fine on any 64 bit laptop? [08:00] ubuntoRoxx, sudo sh java-blabla.bin or use the repo and synaptic and stay clean [08:00] Cobalt, Lastly, you could mount it on a named point, but this will not be consistant. [08:00] vish, yes! [08:00] Flannel: The problem is that this is only the runtime environment(JRE). I need the development environment(JDK) [08:00] Hello Ubuntu, quick question, i just want to know that can i change/rename my interfaces for eg. eth1 to eth0? thx. [08:01] ubuntoRoxx: JDK is in the repos too [08:01] LoveGuru, udev-rulels. [08:01] LoveGuru, udev-rules.

[08:01] ubuntoRoxx, i have this jdk package here sun-java6-jdk [08:01] zhaozhou: udev-rules ? [08:01] zhaozhou: the behaviour i was seeking was, when, for example, i mount an _ntfs_ partition, for example, it has the descriptive name i had on it before i switched to linux as the name that comes up in GNOME... [08:01] Shoot, I'll try some other way then. thanks for all your help! [08:01] LoveGuru, Yes, I can't help you with it though, i don't know them in my head. But google them. :-) [08:01] jim_p: ok, but how do i then install that jdk package? [08:02] lol [08:02] zhaozhou: well thx for info. [08:02] Hay i cant seem to get my old vista to boot from my grub menue [08:02] Cobalt, That's probably the label, yes. [08:02] can anyone help? [08:02] i have a strange problem... firefox is stuck in full screen mode and i dont know how to fix it back to normal [08:02] ubuntoRoxx, sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jdk [08:02] eweb100: edit your menu.lst and remove it [08:02] LoveGuru, NP. :-) [08:02] HOw would that help? [08:02] i want to boot vista [08:02] Not remove it [08:02] zhaozhou: ah, well, anyways, thanks, i'll google a bit on it and see what that turns up. [08:03] vegombrei, try deleting the .mozilla folder in your home directory and then restarting firefox. [08:03] vegombrei: did you try f11? [08:03] Cobalt, e2label. :-) [08:03] Is There anyone who knows how to do change/rename interfaces for eth1 to eth0? using "udev-rules."

[09:05] rdw200169: I want to save power === sean is now known as Guest1141 [09:05] Anyone know how memory consuming 8.10 compared to 8.04? I'm considering to do migration [09:05] araldit: it's really dangerous running an os from a thumbdrive [09:06] araldit: b/c a thumbdrive has a finite number of read/writes before it never works again [09:06] If I would like to look at some source I use, and if I want to make a small change, how do I go about that? [09:06] I know, but it will only be booting up from it. Data is stored on a harddrive when needed [09:06] xiangfu: install_flash_player_10_linux.tar.gz [09:07] araldit: then, it should be really easy to install to a thumbdrive, the installer should recognize it during installation, as a /dev/sd* device [09:07] araldit: which you can specify in the manual partition option [09:07] rdw200169: This is true, and it does, however [09:08] PwcrLinux: are you run the "./configure" [09:08] rdw200169: The usb drive will have to be fat32 right, but linux want ext2/ext3 [09:08] araldit: no, it can be whatever you want [09:09] rdw200169: Is that the way to go then. Having it be a fat32. Or should I have a little partition for fat32 for mbr, and an ext3 for the os [09:09] Let's say there is a package in ubuntu with an error, how do I get the source for the package, how do I recompile, how do I test, how do I get a patch? [09:09] araldit: you'll wanting to install a linux while using a fat32 partition ? [09:10] anybody can give me a pointer? [09:10] araldit: the mbr doesn't sit in a partition of any type, linux, and windows, both support the the 'msdos' mbr type though [09:10] araldit: the second way [09:10] the mbr doesn't need a partition [09:10] xiangfu, no the installer inside of directory of install_flash_player_10_linux on the desktop, I ran the installer by ./ command thru the terminal once installed and it's tell me non-root installation [09:10] geckosenator: ok. Thx. [09:11] rdw200169: thx [09:11] What's the best mp3-ripper? I need to convert them to 192 bitrate === lipsin_ is now known as lispin [09:11] PwcrLinux: try "sudo ./installer" [09:11] geckosenator: So the fat32 partition is for grub? === lispin is now known as lipsin [09:11] okay hold on [09:11] araldit: depends on the platform [09:11] araldit: normally no you don't need that [09:11] araldit: just make sure your flash drive's speed is = or greater than or equal to the speed of a hard drive, or your os will be slow [09:12] araldit: yeah, just have one big partition, that's it [09:12] araldit: ext3 [09:12] araldit: I have a system where you _do_ need a fat32 partition to store the kernel so the bootloader can read it [09:12] but it is not grub [09:12] araldit: just install grub, you'll be fine ;) [09:12] rdw200169: Ok. The os will have very little harddrive activity. I use it for webserver, router and fileserver. The fileserver however on a seperate harddrive [09:13] geckosenator: This is what i thought [09:13] araldit: i'm not talking about the hard drive, i'm talking about where the os is located, the flash drive [09:13] araldit: it's important that you understand that all thumbdrives are not created equal, they have different read/write speeds just like hard drives [09:14] I have an issue with wine, take alook : http://filebank.gamebank.fi/2695/weird_winecfg.jpg.html [09:14] for some reason all applications with wine have font like that, what could cause it ? [09:14] araldit: consequentially, cheaper ones are really slow [09:14] followed wiki to get wifi card working but now when i try and connect to my wireless network when i enter password it keeps acting like it doesnt work [09:14] and it is correct password [09:14] araldit: not to mention whether or not they are usb 1.0 or 2.0, etc... [09:14] im on it on another computer now [09:14] rdw200169: There is basically no drive activity on the os drive. I will be fine, im sure [09:14] araldit: you want to make sure you remount /var to somewhere other than the thumbdrive [09:15] araldit: otherwise, there a write for every bit of log activity [09:15] rdw200169: Sure [09:15] araldit: and database activity, if you use mysql, etc... [09:15] xiangfu, access granted, and which one browser directory gonna installed? [09:15] araldit: does your server use a monitor? [09:16] hellou, what command in console is with who can i see maps(with all files and folders) size in gb or mb? [09:16] rdw200169: ? [09:16] rdw200169: I do use webmin if thats what u mean [09:16] araldit: you can save power if you use SSH or a serial connection [09:16] valchers maybe: du -h [09:16] rdw200169: Ahh. [09:16] PwcrLinux: you should take a look at the README, or you send me the url where you download the file. [09:16] rdw200169: Sure. There is no monitor attached [09:17] rdw200169: I use SSH [09:17] can anyone help me to configure my tv tuner ? [09:17] araldit: have you ever set up serial? [09:17] rdw200169: I have, but not for this project [09:17] node357 not this command [09:17] Xiangfu, the facebook asked me to dl the new version of flashplayer (upgrade) [09:17] araldit: i find it irritating, personally, that ubuntu server doesn't set up serial access automatically, but that's a personal gripe [09:18] araldit: for those network crash situations [09:18] can anyone help me to configure my tv tuner ? [09:18] if I am in /home I want see all users map sizes in mb or gb? [09:18] what browser you use? [09:18] rdw200169: hehe, u're right. I can useally save it by adding a keyboard and a monitor then [09:19] how did you restart alsa? [09:19] araldit: in the past, that's what i used to do, now i always have a serial adapter and null adapter ready ;) [09:19] rdw200169: I normally only use serial when developing the embedded linux devices. [09:19] hiya [09:20] any have experience using Ubuntu on a server? [09:20] araldit: my last router project was for an ISP overseas, and my subscribers didn't like to wait for me to find a keyboard and monitor to get it working [09:20] Timslin: yes, emphatically [09:20] ok, maybe you can help [09:20] shortcuts i've placed on the desktop are too big, hopw do i shrink them? [09:20] rdw200169: And the serial line almost always work.

[09:22] hello [09:22] du -h will show in mb and gb [09:22] rocknroll if I am in /home dir i want see users map sizes [09:22] hischild: Yes! I'm actually able to use 8.10 now [09:23] valchers: du -sh * will show you dir sizes [09:23] Phobiac: good! what was the solution if i may ask? [09:23] hischild: I doubt you want the whole story, but on 8.04 I had to use rutilt and all this crap, and it was broken on 8.10 [09:24] hischild: It seems to be it was as simple as sudo killall nm-applet, then I used nm-connection-editor to set up my wireless settings, then nm-applet ran fine [09:24] Phobiac: if the story will let me know stuff with which i can help others, i would want to hear it yes. But that sounds good enough. Good for you and thanks! [09:24] hi, I have an issue with ibex 64 bits, when I lauch an mp3 with totem or rhythmbox song start and after a while (30secs) software freeze, anybody know how to fix that ? thanks [09:24] hischild: anyway yeah, now I have wireless on 8.10. So I can actually use the 8.10 kernel [09:24] geckosenator: Do you have a good guide for you setup [09:24] Phobiac: cool! [09:25] hischild: The real test comes when I do my next restart, hopefully what I did will stick [09:25] hischild: Thanks for your help [09:25] Phobiac: why not try it out now [09:25] hischild: Editing grub to autoboot on the new kernel instead of the one from 8.04 [09:26] Phobiac: aah ok. [09:26] hischild: Plus, I'm worried it won't work [09:26] hi [09:26] Phobiac: well i'm hoping it will work, but there's only 1 way to find it out. [09:26] Okay, lets see now [09:27] can anybody explain this behavior: i have selected optimization level 3 for apt-build but i still notice that sources are being built with O2 [09:28] O3 is too intense for a noob [09:29] hey [09:29] we left [09:29] sloopy :) [09:30] i get off work in 30 mins... 12 hour shifts suck [09:30] LOL [09:30] sloopy: that doesnt answer my question [09:30] !ot [09:30] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions.

[09:35] UbuntuUser: what u trying to do [09:35] back [09:35] UbuntuUser: You shrink Vista down to size, then when you boot up the LiveCD you install Ubuntu on the free space. [09:35] UbuntuUser: shrink the Vista partition through vista, then create all the Ubuntu stuff during the Ubuntu install [09:36] sabayonweb_97364: no [09:36] ooooooooo it gives an option to put in that partition [09:36] lol [09:36] ty [09:36] can i get updated drivers for my video card [09:36] UbuntuUser: You might run into an issue with Vista not wanting to shrink down enough. In that case you have to use a defrag tool that can move important system files, like perfectdisk. [09:36] had to use vesa setting now [09:36] xiangfu: the directory located in /mozilla or /usr/lib/mozilla? [09:37] omg isnt defragging going to take forever? [09:37] orgthingy: yes i installed the german version. but the language-support-en package is already installed [09:37] PwcrLinux: yes [09:38] What would be a good (preferably) debian-based distro to get me learning the command line and such?

[10:04] Earthen: thanks, but already have ipv6 disabled. [10:04] i'm booting up to the X login screen (GDsplashwhatever) and then hitting alt+f1 to get to the command prompt. I log in and my network isn't configured to my default stuff [10:05] I compiled a kernel .deb. While the kernel works just fine (/boot/grub/menu.lst) the package insists that the .deb is not configured and tries to configure it each time. How do I make the package manager think the .deb is configured? === sean is now known as Guest23036 [10:05] ofv ok that's all i got lol [10:05] kmg: That's because NetworkManager doesn't start until you login in X [10:05] Earthen: thanks anyway :-) [10:06] Timslin: that doesn't mean the server in itself is on standby.. it just means it wont kill your user processes when you log off the terminal server client.. there is "screen".. but it's for command line only [10:06] Timslin: if you use x11vnc you can connect to the running sessions.. which means it will still be running after you log off.. I use that for remote administration on my server [10:06] FreeFull: yeah, i would usually run the process nm-applet from in x, right? is there a way to do the equivalent from outside of X? [10:07] Timslin: ie you connect to the same desktop/programs etc you would see if you sat down in front of the server itself [10:07] kmg: You could stop having the connection being managed by NetworkManager and add all the connection details to /etc/network/interfaces [10:07] I use NX Client to connect which was provided by OCH. How do i disconnect from it without closing the running programs? [10:08] kmg: All the information you need for that is in 'man interfaces' [10:08] and manually input the essid, encryption type, passphrase etc? [10:08] Timslin: I have no idea on how to use freenx.. I've never used it.. [10:08] kmg: yes [10:08] kmg: But you will have to do it only once [10:08] can anybody use help who has used it? [10:08] well, the real problem is that my mouse and keyboard stopped working in X [10:09] kmg: What did you do when it happened?

If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 [10:54] * gnomefreak reboots [10:54] gnome: you have a similar program for ebay ? [10:54] and I'm back from updating my kernel [10:54] can anyone do me a favor and tell me what type of programming this is on this page http://trac.arantius.com/wiki/Support/KarmaBlocker/Configuration [10:55] its firefox related [10:55] now it's 2.6.27.8-ultimate [10:55] must be good [10:55] Slart: what do you make of that? [10:55] and thus ubuntu related [10:56] I have no sound cards installed, it's it supposed to have on board sould? [10:56] rookeeeeeeeee: just because it's firefox related doesn't mean it's actively supported by ubuntu [10:56] Tyrath: hmm... don't really know.. hard to diagnose without some kind of error [10:57] Slart: do you use skype? [10:57] Tyrath: yup [10:57] I mounted the iso image of intrepid can I add it to the software sources ? [10:57] hey all, my screen res cant go above 600 x 800 [10:57] Hi [10:57] after upgrade from 8.04 - 8.10 [10:57] i would just like to know what kind of programming it is. is it html? [10:57] aboSamoor: are you running intrepid? [10:58] I have no sound in 8.10. lspci outputs '00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801H (ICH8 Family) HD Audio Controller (rev 03)' aplay -l says no soundcard is detected [10:58] ok, no sound will have to do [10:58] rookeeeeeeeee: looks like it's just an ini-file.. no programming at all [10:58] ardchoille: I am running hardy, and I don't have cd writer to make a cd to upgrade [10:58] ChrisBookwood, did you do adduser user audio group? [10:59] aboSamoor: ok, are you trying to install some intrepid packages on hardy? [10:59] TiMiDo, I don't even know what that is [10:59] Slart: well I was getting an error message before but no-longer for some weird reason - that's after i changed my gnome audio settings [10:59] !pm | rookeeeeeeeee [10:59] rookeeeeeeeee: 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. [10:59] i seen a tutorial on how to set up irc on ubuntu, can someone link me to it please. I want to use Pidgin. [10:59] how do i make the rules slart [10:59] ardchoille: I wanted to get the Koffice kde4, so I found that I have to upgrade all ubuntu to intrepid [10:59] Timslin: Applications > Internet > Xchat IRC [10:59] ChrisBookwood, do this adduser username audio. [11:00] aboSamoor: yes, please upgrade before you mix release packages, oherwise you might break the system [11:00] Slart: are there ways to configure mic input other than via gnome? [11:00] how can I reduce mic hiss? [11:00] rookeeeeeeeee: you read the page you've sent me.. you read it until you understand it.. if that doesn't occur within a reasonable time you ask the people who wrote the software/extension or possibly someone in a #firefox related channel [11:01] TiMiDo, sudo adduser cb audio gives no errors, but aplay -l still says no soundcard detected [11:01] Tyrath: well.. there are alsa-configuration tools that doesn't need gnome.. but they don't do anything that the gnome tools doesn't do [11:01] What does 'FE' stand for in the filename /usr/bin/nmapfe? [11:01] Slart: :/ [11:01] Slart: what's you sound capture settings for Sound Prefs? [11:02] USB-memory and a Live image (the 699MB download that is the most obvious download ont he ubuntu homepage) is all i need to create a complete dedicated installation of Ubuntu? Im currently using windows vista and want a fullblown linux-installation(have only tried it on vmware before) [11:02] Tyrath: you mean in system, preferences, sound? I use pulseaudio === giuseppe is now known as Guest89042 [11:02] Hi all, can you help me about nautilus? when I open a folder I spend a lot of time to do it === Guest89042 is now known as giuseppe_ [11:03] Hi all, can you help me about nautilus? when I open a folder I spend a lot of time to do it [11:03] Slart: and then how do you modify the pulse audio settings? [11:03] Tyrath: oh.. but skype doesn't use pulseaudio. it uses alsa [11:03] bullgard4, front end [11:03] Tyrath: so it ignores my pulseaudio settings [11:04] Slart: so when you use skype what do you do with the gnome settings? [11:04] Slart: ah k [11:04] zhaozhou: Thank you very much. [11:04] bullgard4, np. (: [11:04] Tyrath: I just set skype to use hw:Audigy2,0 which is the alsa name of my soundblaster card [11:04] Slart: so if skype overrides settings for the cam while running, should I be able to configure microphone settings fully from skype? [11:05] how can I speed my nautilus browser? [11:05] Slart: that doesn't come up as an option in my skype :/ [11:06] I just downloaded a driver for my Konica Minolta printer. it is a .rpm archive. How do I install it? [11:06] Hi all, created live cd (ubuntu 8.10) and tried to boot with it, everything went fine till log on and then for some time it had been a skin-color screen and then a black screen, i could see the cursor and move it but after being sometime on the black screen the cursor stopped moving if i moved the mouse, the CD drive LED also stopped flashing, any ideas? [11:06] Tyrath: it doesn't really override settings.. alsa is the base system for your system.. it selects a driver for the sound card and makes sound devices available to the system.. pulseaudio uses these devices so you can do neat things like move the sound from one soundcard to another... alsa is still there, behind the scenes, doing the actual work on the sound card [11:06] does anybody know nautilus???? [11:06] anyone familiar with getting it up and running on a mac? [11:06] topherhead, ppc? [11:06] Hi all, created live cd (ubuntu 8.10) and tried to boot with it, everything went fine till log on and then for some time it had been a skin-color screen and then a black screen, i could see the cursor and move it but after being sometime on the black screen the cursor stopped moving if i moved the mouse, the CD drive LED also stopped flashing, any ideas? [11:07] Slart: do you use camorama? [11:07] no x86 [11:07] Tyrath: skype just ignore pulseaudio.. and goes directly to alsa..gnome-volume-manager also configures the alsa settings.. there is another configuration dialog for pulseaudio [11:07] I have an Ubuntu server in New Jersey and I want to limit SSH so only people from England (where I am) can access the SSH server.. Any idea how I might go about doing that? [11:07] Tyrath: nope.. my webcam doesn't work with it.. [11:07] my main issue is getting the efi to boot into it [11:07] Hi all, created live cd (ubuntu 8.10) and tried to boot with it, everything went fine till log on and then for some time it had been a skin-color screen and then a black screen, i could see the cursor and move it but after being sometime on the black screen the cursor stopped moving if i moved the mouse, the CD drive LED also stopped flashing, any ideas?

I didn't have it for some weird reason :/ [11:08] also i loath osx and want to blow it away entirely and just have linux running but all solutions on the web assume you want ot dual boot [11:08] ashutosh, lack of RAM? I have the same problem trying to load Dapper on this box, Breezy installed NP. [11:09] 256 MB, know its low, could that be the reason [11:09] topherhead: installing ubuntu on macbook?

When I tryed with alternative-cd it asked if I want to encrypt the /home partition. But then unhappy it failed during installing packages. So I tryed again with Ubuntu 8.10 DVD. But now it doesn't ask me for encryption. [11:09] topherhead, is it a ppc? [11:09] ashutosh, I wish IH had 256, which works for Dapper, I don't know about 8.10? [11:09] TiMiDo: no its x86 [11:10] Errors where encountered while processing : ttf-fixedys-excelisor .... i get that when i try to install almost anything [11:10] Tyrath: it should be the dialog that pops up if you right click on the little speaker in the top right.. [11:10] Hi, can anyone suggest me a tool like magiciso on ubuntu ??? [11:10] topherhead, hmm okey. [11:10] Tyrath: or rather, right click and select volume control [11:10] then installed the x86 iso.

[12:07] peleg: Please review the 'Getting Started' and 'Readme' documentation for the O3Spaces Workplace Community Edition 2.3.0, as was packaged in the archive you downloaded [12:07] urgent question: I'm installing 8.10 on my second partition (vista on first) and the partitioner asks me for a mount point - what's that and what do I set it to? [12:07] alkisg: That's two things I've learned today :) [12:07] mrwes: maybe this applet itself is embedded... [12:07] peleg: what's it saying? [12:07] ardchoille: heh, help works both ways! :) [12:07] alkisg, yah that's what I believe [12:07] c0re__¬ i recommend having a copy of supergrub spare, only 4mb iso image if you have a cd to waste (this advice isn't generally accepted and is IMO) [12:07] ardchoille: i only forgot 1 thing today [12:07] elphias ia32-libs or something [12:08] jschall: thanks ill try it ^_^ [12:08] iSchadow: you're doing manual partitioning? [12:08] nnull, where to get supergrub? [12:08] iShadow the mount pointt is where your boot files are, and should be / [12:08] I tried doing the "guided" but it looks like ubuntu wants to take over vista as well then [12:08] has anyone got their network bridge configured for kvm use?

[12:10] mrwes, not really, since it needs to search EVERY file and update a root owned db [12:10] peleg: or replace status with stop [12:10] ubotu nvidia! [12:10] Paolo, I did the same about 4 months ago and read the same problems..I install 32 bit instead and haven't had any problems...I think 64 bit isn't quite ready...my thoughts...I don't think you will notice too much difference in speed etc. [12:10] mrwes, yes because your account doesn't have read permissions for some files [12:10] TecR0c: unrar? [12:10] chfwiggum, it's not running, I've checked.. [12:11] darn i thought there was a bot here that gave out the nvidia driver howto [12:11] Does anyone else have a problem upgrading to Intrepid through the network?

[12:19] I wonder if the problem is that I just can't do well with laptops. This wireless issue is starting to make me quite aggravated when everything fails [12:19] I'll do man dpkg again about --config [12:19] Paolo, yes you will just not be using the 64 bit capicity [12:19] the partition graph in 8.10 seems to be wrong [12:20] ./boot/grub/stage1 is not installed [12:20] what should i do?

[13:13] Does this mean I got hacked? Or is this some known ubuntu problem [13:14] vitaliy_: You do nothing, my good man. :-) Problem should be gone. [13:14] terminal shows me just > [13:14] alright I just installed ubuntu and now I'm trying to install drivers for my graphics [13:14] tayfun: Then you have no nvidia drivers installed :) [13:14] ah ok [13:14] so help me to install [13:14] u know some command for it easy way [13:14] tayfun: in terminal udo apt-get install nvidia-settings [13:14] it shows up in restricted drivers and I try to activate [13:14] tiyowan, ? [13:14] IgotHacked: sounds more like a video issue [13:14] but nothing happens [13:14] (running from LiveDVD, had left it for maybe 4 hours without clicking anything or doing anything or having anything other than firefox open) [13:14] iSchadow: What video card fo you have. [13:14] tayfun: oops sudo* [13:14] 9650M GT [13:14] ok wait a second i m trying [13:14] !how to reverse engineering [13:14] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [13:14] tayfun: sudo apt-get install nvidia-settings [13:15] Do I need to rephrase my question? [13:15] IgotHacked: probably some bug rather than someone "hacking you". Reboot and see if you can recreate it by letting the screen go into low power mode and then moving your mouse again [13:15] ubottu, hey baby [13:15] Sorry, I don't know anything about hey baby [13:15] chfwiggum, I removed it *manually*. I think I've lost faith in the package manager.. [13:16] hey [13:16] help help i did install nvidia with sudo command [13:16] ubottu, yes u do [13:16] Sorry, I don't know anything about yes u do [13:16] tayfun: sudo apt-get install nvidia-settings [13:16] but i see still the problem with screen resolution and i cant change the desktop effects too [13:16] tayfun: If you have that package installwed, you might just restart your X [13:16] tayfun: now run sudo nvidia-settings [13:16] norbert i did it already its works but i dont still see any other options for to change screen resolution [13:16] Okay, so I left my computer for around 4 hours to go out for the night, and when I came back (moved the mouse to get the screen out of 'blackness'!) there were purple lines showing on the screen. BTW: I am running Ubuntu 8.10 from a LiveDVD [13:17] ok [13:17] IgotHacked: did you see what I told you? [13:17] tayfun: Use nvidia-settings [13:17] svn 1.5.1, anyone? [13:17] tyiowan: it stll gives me the package error that one of them is broken and it doesnt say which one [13:17] who was I talking to a minute ago? [13:17] IgotHacked: did you not see jrib reply? [13:17] IgotHacked: I seriously doubt you've been hacked. [13:17] tayfun: if you want to save your configuration to xorg you need to run nvidia-settings with sudo [13:17] Thanks [13:17] Is there any way to make sure that I didn't get hacked? [13:18] vitaliy_: Could you pastebin the results of your dpkg --configure -a cmd please? [13:18] ok [13:18] var,log messages [13:18] IgotHacked: unless you're running something weird there isn't much to worry about. Just keep the system updated [13:18] no, sorry [13:18] was running from liveDVD [13:18] and as soon as it wasn't stopping [13:19] I held down the power button [13:19] till it turned off [13:19] tayfun: silly also, but we never asked if you enabled the drivers as i believe they are restricted by default [13:19] IgotHacked: hacking a livecd would be waste of time anyway as the system is cleared upon reboot [13:19] foofy it not working === nenolod is now known as moogle [13:19] ardchoille: I had (unmounted) drives connected [13:19] i guess you only can have one miracle per building [13:19] that had data on them [13:19] i open nvidia settings and he just show me some option what already was activated [13:19] :( [13:20] tayfun: nvidia-settings should have an option on the side pane for display settings [13:20] IgotHacked: you can install and run rkhunter and/or chkrootkit and check the system if you think you need to [13:20] tyiowan: http://pastebin.com/mf1f7396 [13:20] tayfun: it reads X Server Display Configuration [13:20] Okay, will do [13:20] i m gonna write you now what he showing me as option [13:21] tayfun: try going through the menu to system>administration>hardware drivers [13:22] tayfun: make sure your card is enabled [13:22] enable tool tipps, display status bar, slider text entries, include x display names in the config file, show really quit dialog [13:22] thats all what he shows me i can enable or disable the all function what i wrote you right now and its already everything enabled [13:22] vitaliy_: This is what you get when you run 'sudo dpkg --configure -a'? [13:22] If anybody else ever has problems with their sound card, ask ubottu about !sound -- he's helped me more than three days of besieging #ubuntu. [13:22] tayfun: try going through the ubuntu main menu to system>administration>hardware drivers [13:22] tiyowan: with cmd [13:23] tayfun: Just restart your X using Ctrl+Alt+Backspace...

CentOS would work more fine... [13:28] vitaliy_: Oh okay. :-) I know. Go to System -> Administration -> Synaptic Package Manager. Then click on the Custom Filter button and select Broken from the list above. That should list the broken package. Uncheck the tick next to its name, and click the Apply button. [13:28] <_cb> Does gedit have 'column blocking' If not, which is a good text editor that does? Javascript, HTML & C/C++ highlighting would be great too.

[13:30] a [13:30] my graphic card is nvidia geforce x2s 9500 with 512 mb cache [13:31] tayfun: go to www.nvidia.com download the drivers for your card [13:31] ttyiowan: thnx a loy [13:31] tayfun: when you have downloaded do the following commands [13:31] Are tayfun's nvidia drivers active? I had a small issue with the ATI drivers when I activated them; the button wouldn't light, some rendering problem. Everything was fine when I logged out and back in. [13:31] sandstrom: not that I can think of, but it's probably safer to just change the password [13:31] chmod +x [13:31] vitaliy_: np. Which package was broken? [13:31] sudo sh anto: please don't recommend that way, unless you've verified they can't be installed through the repositories [13:31] jrib: Leave it onto anto as the repo driver does NOT work [13:32] nvidia-xconfig` as root), and restart the X server. thats the message what he shows me guys what should i do?

[13:34] tayfun: you receive this error because the nvidia driver is not installed thus x cannot be configured to use it [13:34] norbert79: well intrepid should cover his card iirc. 177 covers up to 9800 [13:34] is anyone there? [13:34] Are his Compiz effects set to extra? [13:34] jrib: i always got high results from glxgears when using the nvidia install instead of the repo [13:34] anto: it's the same driver... [13:34] jrib: You can see it did not... :) [13:35] jrib: Installed, but did not work [13:35] norbert79: well I don't even know what version of ubuntu he has [13:35] im starting to wonder if im invisible because i gave tayfun a zillion suggestions [13:35] poor tayfun you guys tried to help [13:35] you are right they didnt even know what version they had [13:36] yeah =/ [13:36] tayfun couldn't be helped... He was in panic, and didn't want to be silent for a few moments [13:36] I think...you need to be a little bit patient with Linux, and take things...um, lightly. :-) [13:36] i was lucky....i used vmware and it configured everything automatically for ubuntu 8.04 [13:36] it installed flawlessly in less than a half hour [13:37] <[Spooky]> Ah im happy! Got WoW working in 8.10 :P [13:37] true, and wouldnt follow any directions [13:37] After all, what's the fun of using an open-source OS when you don't run into a few problems? [13:37] :-) [13:37] Ok, I was going to DL the latest alternative CD, but it is 715 m, and won't fit on my blank CD's. So now what? Buy new CDs? [13:37] i am testing out ubunto if i like it better i will install it as my main os [13:38] freedom from windoze at last is what i am hoping for [13:38] whats your current main os [13:38] xp media center on my laptop [13:38] how do I COMPLETELY uninstall and remove all of a package/program? [13:38] hi guys. While i was partitioning the hard disk during the installation i decided to make another partition with ext3 file system and i put the mount point for it like this: /media/File, but after the installation when i open the partition i find a folder with a X on it and i can't put any folder inside that partition. It says i don't have permission to do that!!!! Is my partitioning correct??? [13:38] n2diy: umm, the intrepid alternate cd is not 715mb. Where are you finding this? [13:38] anacranom: [13:38] Anacranom: apt-get purge [13:38] or GUI [13:38] via [13:39] (fuck, what is it called again?)

[13:40] i think vmware supports dual boot installation as well right now i just run ubunto on a virtual system [13:40] n2diy: 8.10 is the latest, not 8.04. In any case, if you want 8.04, use http://releases.ubuntu.com/8.04/ [13:40] taterpeel: the only reason i keep xp is to use my recording software =-\ [13:40] for me its mostly games [13:40] djbeenie: I've got a link for you. [13:40] everything else i can do in ubunto it seems [13:40] !ccsm | djbeenie [13:40] djbeenie: To enable advanced customization of desktop effects in Ubuntu: install 'compizconfig-settings-manager' or 'simple-ccsm'. If you install the latter, a new option will appear in your appearance properties - See also !compiz - Help in #compiz-fusion [13:40] scusate qualcuno se ne intende di rom per ds? [13:41] jrib, sorry, 8.04 is the latest LTS release. :) I'll give that URL a try. [13:41] djbeenie: then you would run either simple-ccsm or ccsm to configure of course [13:41] cool..compizconfig...i didnt know how since its been changed from beryl [13:41] djbeenie: http://linuxowns.wordpress.com/2008/06/16/guide-to-customizing-ubuntus-look-and-feel/ <-- Read this. [13:42] thanks guys [13:42] djbeenie: It has explanations of the different effects you can enable, as well as videos to show you what it looks like. :-) [13:42] djbeenie: same here, but then i just searched package manager for compiz settings and ended up with the right program somehow. that was awhile ago now i leave compiz alone [13:42] Jrib, that DL is 715m too! [13:42] did i make a mistake installing the 64 bit ubunto? it seems i cant install some programs because they are only i386 [13:42] Hello this might be the wrong place to ask this question, but where do i place vim syntax files? [13:42] Hey, anyone try to get Google Earth going in Compiz? [13:43] d0kt0rn: #vim is better, but ~/.vim/syntax/ [13:43] alright I updated my system and now the drivers wants to download [13:43] hooray for inexpicable miracles [13:44] thanks ka...ku... damn, can never remember your name [13:44] Any ideas how I can enable two-finger click for my macbook touchpad? [13:44] Configuring the touchpad is done though /etc/hal/fdi/policy/ now? [13:45] tombee: check help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBook for an example. Yes, you use fdi files now [13:45] The thing is jrib, I think that tutorial enables two-finger tapping [13:46] tombee: huh? [13:46] I dislike tapping the touchpad, much prefer to place two-fingers on the touchpad and press the button like I would in OSX :) === sean is now known as Guest76382 [13:46] tombee: ah, that's what you mean.

[15:56] non3: a custom server ? [15:56] f00fyf00f3rz yes [15:57] How do I launch the soundserver JACK? My Rosegarden app says that it's turned off [15:57] f00fyf00f3rz cuz its CLOSE TO ME AND FAST [15:57] f00fyf00f3rz FAST DOWNLOAD [15:57] non3: what do you mean ?

[15:57] Rovanion, is JACK already installed on your system? [15:58] matreya6, grub-install [15:58] ikonia i wanna ad a custom server [15:58] ikonia for donwloading [15:58] how do you change your user to be a superuser? [15:58] Does Wubi work with Ubuntu Studio? [15:58] Hi everyone. [15:58] ikonia like updates and stuff [15:58] non3: ok, so remove the repos from your /etc/apt/sources.list file, and replace with that URL [15:58] topdownjimmy: Howdy [15:58] robert: you sudo for command line apps, and gksudo for graphical apps [15:58] non3: just keep in mind that URL is NOT a repo [15:58] matreya6, It might be, and I might have found a solution myself. Let me just restart rosengarde [15:58] onx, will grub-install ask me questions? I don't have the config file anymore, since it went down with my 1st HDD [15:58] non3 that is just a download for ISO files [15:59] looks like that was it [15:59] I'm hoping someone can help me with a partition error when I try to install Ubuntu 8.10 on a Windows machine. I don't have the text of the error handy, but it just seems unable to create the partition it needs. [15:59] lasbuntu: good to go then? [15:59] foof: thanks a bunch [15:59] looks like it, just fighting panels [15:59] non3: so changing the /etc/apt/sources.list won't work [15:59] ikonia but its a full mirror [15:59] topdownjimmy: are you trying to resize? [15:59] hard to se the "move" part :) [15:59] matreya6, Yep I found a way to turn it on. Thanks for your time anyways [15:59] ikonia it will work ? [15:59] non3: where ? it's just got ISO images [16:00] lasbuntu: sweet youre welcome. what netbook are you using anyway? [16:00] ikonia i know i saw some packages [16:00] Rovanion, np, go get musical! [16:00] Does Wubi work with Ubuntu Studiio? [16:00] Maizcul1: no, just using the 60GB I have free for Ubuntu. [16:00] ikonia im sure of it [16:00] non3: http://ftp.iasi.roedu.net/mirrors/ubuntulinux.org/ubuntu/dists/ ? [16:00] ikonia yes [16:00] change it to that then [16:00] ikonia i wanna get that as main mirror [16:00] Hi Robert, A normal user can type in "sudo su -" if he is in the sudo user file or is the first person to be added to the system. [16:00] so you don't want windows anymore? you'd need to try a total reformat then [16:00] ikonia for fast download [16:00] non3: it's not an official ubuntu repo so I wouldn't trust it, but your welcome to do as you feel best [16:00] ikonia cand i do that ? [16:00] non3: if you want [16:01] ikonia how can i set it up [16:01] matreya6, frankly i don't know. i usually just restore the backup :S try http://linux.die.net/man/8/grub-install [16:01] ikonia what sould i do [16:01] Maizcul1: I suppose I am trying to resize, actually. The existing partition takes up the entire disk. And I'm trying to dual boot. [16:01] non3: change the urls in /etc/apt/sources.list [16:01] non3: I suspect you won't see much improvment over your auto local mirror setup, [16:01] onx, thx, I'll read the man [16:01] ikonia there are bunch of lines [16:01] ikonia witch one ? [16:01] hi. has anybody got any hints for connecting to a printer thats on a windows network through samba. i seem to have everything working - i even see the printer spool on the windows box - but nothing ever prints. [16:01] non3: so change the URL for the repo's you want to use [16:02] ikonia i need to show you these [16:02] ikonia lets PM [16:02] you have windows on already? [16:02] non3: you don't [16:02] non3: I don't need to see them [16:02] ikonia oh ok [16:02] topdownjimmy: Make sure you actually have allocated enough space for windows, inc. all current files on it [16:02] non3: just change the URLS for the repos you want to use [16:02] ikonia ill try hang on [16:03] Maizcul1: Yes, I do have Windows already. It's currently occupying about 120GB on a 200GB drive, so I've tried to change its partition to 140GB. [16:03] Where can I see list of all ubuntu mirrors ? The specific mirror I was/am using turned very slow [16:03] topdownjimmy: hmm that ought to be enough :S [16:03] tMish: Do a Google search. [16:04] matreya6, Do you have experience using rosegarden? [16:04] topdownjimmy: I'm stumped then, mine didn't work first time because I hadn't allocated enough space for windows but when I did it worked fine === Ameli is now known as Kitti [16:04] so did evolution start crashing for the resto fo you after the recent update/ [16:05] At the moment I'm in the GParted partition GUI, resizing my sda1 partition to 140, and creating a new 50GB partition in the unallocated space: "Create as: Extended Partition," "Label: sdb" ... should this work? Is there anything important I need to know before trying to do this manually? [16:05] ikonia still there ? [16:05] yup [16:06] ikonia it says i have no rights [16:06] ikonia to change [16:06] use sudo to make the edits [16:06] !sudo > non3 [16:06] non3, please see my private message [16:06] if i had ubuntu installed on a 500 gb hdd and was using it for quite a while is it normal for the patition to be 30 gigs after ive removed all my personal files? [16:06] Yahovah: even an old kernel wont work anymore... i wonder what could be wrong... cannot open root device... would it be possible that the device name /dev/sda3 changed? [16:06] ExElNeT: Yes [16:06] kern: that makes no sense [16:07] ExElNeT: Check dmesg to see if it changed. [16:07] ikonia ok ill try [16:07] i mean the partition has 30 gigs on it [16:07] ExElNeT: Assuming you can boot. [16:07] Yahovah: yeah i cant... [16:07] kern: an average ubuntu install is 4 - 6 gig [16:07] kern: the base install is roughly 2.5 gig [16:07] thats what i thought [16:07] ikonia but i cant make command line in text editor ? [16:07] ExElNeT: Do you have multiple scsi/sata/usb drive devices in that machine? [16:07] Rovanion, yes, I do have some experience with it, but I'm more comfortable using Finale [16:07] lasbuntu: you get them panels straight? [16:07] ikonia i have edited the line i intendet to edit [16:08] I have managed to boot from USB now and when I do there is an op tion on the desktop; install. will that help me format the harddrive or I have to do that myself first? [16:08] non3: did you read the sudo link ubottu sent you [16:08] ikonia,what about after programs etc? could it get to 30? [16:08] ikonia yes [16:08] kern: no, doubtful [16:08] ikonia but i cant in text editor [16:08] non3: so what command are you using [16:08] I have 120GB harddrive, I want to split it 50/50 vista/ubuntu, any good link on howto? [16:08] ikonia i am using GUI text editor [16:08] ikonia i have no command line here [16:08] non3: for the gui, use gksudo [16:09] Yahovah: only the 3ware 8006 raidcontroller... [16:09] anyone here familiar with getting ubuntu to run on an EEPC HDA 900? [16:09] EEE* [16:09] matreya6, sent you a private message [16:09] ikonia so i must have missed transferring some files... but i dont really know how to find them cause the folders i put them in were just my home/... now its empty [16:09] ExElNeT: It didn't change then. Maybe something went wrong with your controller. [16:09] rafting: this aint too bad http://gparted.sourceforge.net/larry/resize/resizing.htm [16:09] hi i'm running ubuntu 8.04 on sun virtualbox, the resolution is 800x600 anything biger? [16:09] kern: do a du -h in the / file system to find the big directories [16:10] how can i get a higher resolution [16:10] hi, how do I add wordnet dictionary in gnome-dictionary? [16:10] Terabyte: Yes, you can pick a larger resolution if you edit xorg.conf [16:10] rafting: hey let me read a bit i think i can help [16:10] Hi folks, I'm looking for some advice on which torrent client will allow scheduling of downloads for my offpeak time - torrentflux is giving me a headache. Any recommendations? [16:10] Yahovah, do you know what to add where? [16:10] Terabyte: Yes, but just Google it. [16:10] Yahovah: the controller is working fine... i can access the ext3 partitions from windows [16:11] Yahovah: i just copied over some old kernel files i found... i wont trust them that much.. :=) so it might be still the new kerneö [16:11] ExElNeT: Oh, boot from a livecd distribution and compile/install a new kernel (from source), then. [16:11] rafting: the install will install ubuntu to your hard drive [16:11] Yahovah my xorg.conf file looks nothing like the ones in google [16:11] Terabyte: That's cool. [16:11] Yahovah: yeah im downloading a livecd [16:12] Yahovah it just says "section screen identifier default screen.. configured monitr... device configured video device... endsection [16:12] rafting: i dont think it will format it but give it a shot it may. yea with gparted you can resize partitions so def click shihans link [16:12] ExElNeT: Download a 2.26.x kernel from kernel.org [16:12] Terabyte: Yep, that's your xorg.conf file. [16:12] so where's the resolution [16:12] ExElNeT: Err, 2.6.x [16:12] So... I cannot get a Atheros Communications Inc. AR242x 802.11abg Wireless PCI Express Adapter to work using the standard drivers downloadable from the bonus driver pack. [16:12] i've been through the wizard and it didn't ask me any questions [16:12] ahh.. if only i HAD an xorg.conf file... [16:12] related to resolution [16:12] Terabyte: Add a resolution line if you don't have one. [16:12] ok [16:13] Anyone want to help me troubleshoot? [16:13] f00fyf00f3rz: you mean it will partition for me? or it will look for a clean harddrive and install there and if these only is say vista then it will not do anything? === LOL is now known as Guest91017 [16:13] JohnWittle: bonus driver pack? [16:14] Mitä vittuu? [16:14] Can anyone help with my torrent client issue or shall I go elsewhere? [16:14] puhukaa saatana suomee!!! [16:14] Any recommendations for an IDE for development in C? [16:14] Yahovah: yeah i ll download a 64bit server unbuntu first... i think server might be better since im sure that my controller will be supported [16:14] vittu speak finnish!!?!?!?! [16:14] tombee¬ netbeans handles it afaik [16:14] rafting: it should install its own partition. let me ask: do you have windows already installed? [16:14] cheese: that is my area of expertise! [16:14] what is your trouble [16:14] i did like kdevelop prior to kde 4.x... but eclipse and netbeans aint bad for an ide [16:14] I'm not a fan of netbeans :) [16:14] JohnWittle: YAY! [16:14] ExElNeT: It's really almost an identical kernel to the desktop. [16:15] Has anyone tried this 'anjuta' ? [16:15] is there a keyboard command to change workspace? [16:15] how do i restart x? [16:15] last time i tried anjute it felt a little ... undeveloped [16:15] JohnWhittle: The issue I'm working on is getting my torrent time scheduling happening, so my torrent box only downloads during certain hours. [16:16] thanksterabyte: ctrl-alt-backspace [16:16] nup, gedit is nice tho :) [16:16] ack, run-together [16:16] At the moment I am using Torrentflux, which is lovely for queuing torrents from my work, but no good for keeping my peak/offpeak quota in check. [16:16] suggestions for a replacement client? [16:16] lasbutu that logged me off [16:16] anyone using handbrake? [16:16] I'm told rtorrent does it, but the interface has me completely stumped [16:17] cheese: rtorrent sucks at it [16:17] ooh [16:17] !paste [16:17] pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic) [16:17] uTorrent has the best scheduler I've ever seen but it's graphical and you need wine for it [16:17] hrrm, that's what I was told [16:17] Yep, I have utorrent installed [16:17] What is Mythbuntu? [16:17] yeah, utorrent was pretty sweet [16:17] did that one yesterday, but had extreme difficulties getting a save location working [16:17] Frxstrem: ubuntu with mythtv [16:17] Yahovah, that didn't work [16:17] Frxstrem: ubuntu for myth TV [16:17] What is mythtv? [16:17] i still have 800x600 displayed in the list of resolutions [16:17] Mythbuntu is a wonderful thing [16:18] Home DVR [16:18] uTorrent's scheduler and RSS downlader are the only two features it has worth a damn. No other client I've tried does those two things nearly as well [16:18] the program loads nicely, works nicely, but I think it isn't saving the incoming data as it keeps saying things like 'Died: Access Denied' [16:18] hmm... my audacious is unable to play any audio files [16:18] anyone in here into pure DYNE? message me. thanks [16:18] anyone in here into pure DYNE? message me. thanks [16:18] i changed it between alsamixer and oss and nothing worked [16:18] Utorrent is what we used on the boyfriend's vista machine until I convinced him to let me set up my old box with a big fat drive in it attached to his large television. [16:18] ikonia i did the du -h /media/disk-1 (the partition with the old filesystem) but it seems to cut off some of the output is there a way to save the output to a file? [16:18] i dont get how X can even be working properly without a config file... [16:18] Remember Utoorent had a "linux clinet" and I directed you to install wine [16:18] i installed torrentflux and immediately broke our peak download quota [16:18] any help guys? [16:19] cheese: have you tried enabling the wine hacks in the preferences? [16:19] (HE did, not me. bah) [16:20] LSD|Ninja: forgive me, I am extremely lax when it comes to learning the linux jargon. Are you talking about the small script required when installing utorrent with wine? If so, yes, I followed the installation instructions to the letter. The little ~9 line script is working [16:20] cheese: nonono, in uTorrent's advanced preferences (I forget where exactly, I don't have it handy) there's an option to enable some wine hacks [16:21] orly! [16:21] please hold while I investigate then :) [16:21] I don't know if they'll help but it's worth a try [16:21] hmm ... audacious can't work with skype at the same time, or rather hardware doesn't support multiple access to it ?? [16:22] as in it doesn't allow multiple programs to access the hardware? [16:22] bah, how do I make a panel "always on current workspace"? === supremeWarlock is now known as Guest37744 [16:22] alas, I found no references to wine in the Advanced tab [16:23] it seems that utorrent most definitely works with ubuntu though, yes? [16:23] There should be more documentation somewhere that I should read before I become too drunk on this lovely wine and not-so-lovely nailpolish fumes. [16:24] cheese: somewhere in the prefs is a whole bunch of options like "flush.diskio: 1" or whatever. It;'s in there [16:24] cheese: what version of uTorrent are you using, the latest from their site (1.8.2 or somehting) [16:24] I'm using version 1.8.1, which should be the latest [16:24] Hey i'm still suck wit this resolution problem, i'm on virtual box and i can only get 800x600 resolution [16:24] (I only began this adventure last night) [16:25] Hey guys. Does anyone know how to get sound working on a Dell Inspiron 1525? It came with Ubuntu pre-installed. [16:25] It is fully up to date. [16:25] http://pastebin.com/d6a5681c2 <<< could somebody tell me what I am doing wrong please? [16:25] Shortguy109: what did you do to break it? [16:25] rafting: still there? [16:25] LSD|Ninja: Just upgraded to the new kernel in the repos. Using an older kernel solves the problem. [16:25] Cannon: /mnt/Downloads doesn't exist. [16:25] theres gotta be some place i can configure and X display option? [16:25] Shortguy109: you need to create the mark point first. mkdir /mnt/Downloads [16:25] Also, it might be worth noting that the error I'm getting when trying to download torrents is 'Error: Access Denied' despite the torrents in question running well for about 60 seconds prior to the error occuring. [16:26] rafting: it should install its own partition. let me ask: do you have windows already installed? [16:26] i know Yahovah ... how do I mount it? [16:26] Cannon: sudo mkdir /mnt/Downloads [16:26] k [16:26] cheese: As I said, I don't know if the wine hacks would solve the problem but it can't hurt to try anyway [16:26] aye aye, capt'n LSD|Ninja!

You are doing something wrong honestly if you're doing that often. If you need to run a series of commands as sudo, then use 'sudo -i'.

[17:48] aictionparsnip can you link me to the download page please so I take right [17:48] vignesh: okay. The first command outputted the contents of a file that's supposed to decide what the default display manager is (and which has to be set to the path to gdm). The second command looked in your /etc/rc2.d/ directory, which contains links to all the scripts run during graphical startup. The third command moved the kdm link so it started with K instead of S. This makes the script system Kill kdm during bootup if it's running, rather than Start it.

[18:31] dustman, the window manager as far as i know does not controll that.. gnome may be running some xrand tool to change the res however..

[18:39] zsquareplusc: i made sure xforwarding is on in sshd_config but i dont have x working on the server yet either. [18:40] keithclark: run dmesg after you plug it in will tell for sure [18:40] best way honestly its to boot to windows, let it complain and throw a tantrum about it not hibernating properly, and then shut it down normally [18:40] Muskie: what i'm going for, if its even able to be done, is to try mounting without ro, then if it fails, mount as ro... kind of like the kernel option to mount readonly upon errors [18:41] Hello. I'm looking for a tutorial on how to install from source code. Does anyone know of one? [18:41] jtaji, it comes up ttyUSB0. Do I have to change permissions on the file or something? [18:41] oh, you want to KEEP the current hiberfile? [18:41] a1len: !make [18:41] gpryatel: yopu dont need to have X running on the server, just the libs need to be installed. for X forwarding in ssh you have to allow it on the server and request it on the client too (ssh -X). maybe you can test that with the wine confog prgram or an xterm [18:41] Muskie: maybe thats a "feature" that I should be asking the ntfs-3g folks for??

[18:59] is there a program or way that you can take your drive icons on the desktop and put them in something like a toolbar? so they are not on the desktop? [18:59] I have automake installed but when I am trying to apt-get source I am still getting unmet dependencies. are there any other packages I need? [18:59] hischild: and only supports their most recent cards apparently, hence all the different versions of drivers in Ubuntu [18:59] hischild: yea.. suppose it is.. [18:59] hey guys question, what would I use for a directory location for installing matlab, it is saying /media/cdrom0 and that doesn't seem right to me, i'm a bit of a newb so I figured I'd ask [19:00] -looks at website- oh, I have GOT to install this just to see XD [19:00] fushorts: I think there is something like a "drawer" for gnome-panel.. you could put shortcuts there if you want to [19:00] calc, everything has its problems, but nvidia works smoother IMO. And different versions might also have something to do with a version being better for a certain card. [19:00] ati has the best long term future since they have open drivers also, which depending on the card might be a little behind at the time but will get supported [19:00] where does ubuntu store its .crt certificates for SSL and things like that? [19:00] fushorts: avant-window-manager has something like that [19:00] I need help getting my Logitech Quickcam Messenger working. Running Ubuntu 8.10 and it used to work (with a fresh install), but after subsequent updates, it's lost the ability. [19:00] for the extra drives that pop up on the desktop when you mount them? [19:00] hischild: its mostly because they completely drop support for cards after a certain point (aiui) [19:00] i have used synaptic and also the add/remove dialog to install adobe flash yet when i go to tools / add ons in FireFox it does not show up [19:00] fushorts: ah.. no.. perhaps not [19:00] fletch1: definately not there.. have you tried checking if the package is available via apt-get? [19:01] fushorts: but there might be a gnome panel applet.. have you looked? [19:01] hi. i'm wondering if there are known methods for speeding up boot up time of ubuntu 8.04.1 server edition? [19:01] goat|lappy, it's Matlab, big engineering program, privately owned, I got it through bittorrent [19:01] sam27_> is there way to know what programs i need to get kbarcode to work right [19:01] fushorts: perhaps the "disk mounter" might work [19:02] goat|lappy, I mean I would assume it's not just free through apt-get [19:02] fletch1: usually user apps are installed in /usr/ [19:02] calc, every company drops support after a certian point and yes, maybe nvidia does it fast. But from my experience, their stuff works, whereas my ATI card had nothing but trouble. [19:02] fletch1: but there are different directories for different parts of the app. [19:02] fletch1: search the wiki for matlab. I'll pretend I don't know where you got it from [19:03] jrib: I appreciate the blind eye lol [19:03] jtaji, nope, no luck and now I can't even get the printers dialog to allow me to change the device settings. [19:03] I still hear that Nvidia's drivers are better than ATI's [19:03] depends on the ATi card [19:04] 4870 [19:04] fletch1: you might want to take a look at scilab too which is free open-source software and somewhat matlab compatible [19:04] So, a friend of mine wants to run the Sims on her ubuntu machine, but Wine doesn't support the game that she has.... yet. Is there a virtualization program like VMWare or something which I would be able to install on her machine, and put windows on it? [19:04] You can get 3D on several ATi chipsets without having to bother with ATi's drivers now. There's still a long way to go before that's possible on nVidia [19:04] i have a thing on the gnome panel that shows the hard drives but i was hoping to get it so that when i mount somethign new it does not pop up on the desktop [19:05] jtaji: thanks I'll do that, is it similar? like matrix calculus? [19:05] jtaji: octave is more similar to matlab [19:05] Hi, I got my Ubuntu 8.10 CD today want to upgrade from 8.04? Kindly guide [19:05] acrousey: nothing that will run games with any speed comparable to a real windows install [19:05] fushorts: Alt-F2, type in gconf-editor and run it. Navigate to /apps/nautilus/desktop/ in gconf-editor and uncheck volumes_visible [19:05] LSD|Ninja: There isn't a single virtual machine option that supports 3D acceleration. [19:06] fletch1: there is octave too in [19:06] fletch1: yes indeed... and as jrib pointed out there is also gnu octave [19:06] LSD|Ninja: you mean its preferable not to bother with ATi's drivers? [19:06] LSD|Ninja: So running 3D games in a virtual machine really isn't worthit. [19:06] fushorts: you could just remove the shortcuts from the desktop altogether? [19:06] LSD|Ninja: Sorry lol [19:06] jkhgyuhygtfv: how do you define 3D acceleration? [19:06] Wasn't meant for you [19:06] slart: hmm... well windows won't install on her machine because of certain problems with the hardware [19:06] jkhgyuhygtfvthat's not entirely true, vmware support partially 3d acceleration on an xp host. [19:06] acrousey: There isn't a single virtual machine option that supports 3D acceleration. [19:06] jkhgyuhygtfv: VMWare Fusion on OS X supports limited 3D right now === warren is now known as htrejh [19:06] fletch1: it seems to me that scilab is more actively developed though, and have recently changed to a true free license, which is why i mentioned it first ;) [19:06] hischild: stuff that ATI has dropped support for the most part are fully supported (with 3d) in the opensource radeon driver [19:06] LSD|Ninja: Not to the point of 3D gaming being viable. [19:07] acrousey: then wine is where it's at.. perhaps support will come in newer versions of wine [19:07] hischild: stuff nvidia has dropped support for become trash [19:07] LSD|Ninja: That's also OSX... we're talking Linux here :) [19:07] Cutter: it depends on what ATi you have. a 4870 is probably too new [19:07] jtaji, I'll deff look into it, I'm going to need matlab for classes but it's deff good to find open source alternatives [19:07] jkhgyuhygtfv: you were referring to virtualisation solutions as a whole ;) [19:07] ah [19:07] calc, that means it has no use for them to support it. Makes sense to drop it. But i'm sure there are cards and drivers that ATI is better then Nvidia, i just haven't encountered those. [19:07] SO I was :) [19:07] fletch1: octave is moustly matlab compatible... [19:07] there was talk about it coming in 8.04 or it was an idea thrown out there but there was an applet that was like a drawer just for your mounted drives. they should have implemented it [19:07] slart: i haven't checked there in a while. maybe today they'll have something new [19:07] jtaji: I just don't know where to specify the directory location b/c I am an incredible linux newb lol [19:08] i don't think i ever got an answer [19:08] how do i cat-proof my keyboard ;) [19:08] fletch1: I think scilabs aim is to be compatible when it comes to running .m files [19:08] AHMAD1NEJAD: keep the cat out of the computer room :P [19:08] there's only one room [19:08] * calc bbl, listening to presenation at FOSSCamp [19:08] AHMAD1NEJAD: you'll have to explain a bit more what you want to do here [19:08] Next question: IS there a good virus scanner that runs in Linux, but will scan Windows partitions for Windows viruses? If so, what do you recommend? [19:09] AHMAD1NEJAD: use a picture of a dog as your screensaver? [19:09] !antivirus [19:09] Antivirus is something you don't need on !Linux, except where files are then passed to windows computers (perhaps using samba), See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Antivirus [19:09] nessus? [19:09] jkhgyuhygtfv: clamav [19:09] i want to make the keyboard do shit when he uses it that has nothing to do with my filesystem [19:09] ideally [19:09] fletch1: /opt is usually the answer for apps that install all under one directory, but you should search for a guide on the wiki as mentioned [19:09] otherwise i'm fine just sticking terminal 9 in vi while i leave [19:09] guys, how can i copy an entire filesystem(ntfs) with os(winxp) to a file and restore the system later ?? is that possible? i don't know how can i make it boot again [19:09] AHMAD1NEJAD: I don't think there is an app that makes the keyboard "do shit".. [19:09] Slart: As far as I understand it, ClamAv will only tell you that there IS a virus, but will do nothing to remove it (at least that's what I saw in the Windows version) [19:09] jkhgyuhygtfv: clamav [19:09] AHMAD1NEJAD, lock the screen. [19:09] AHMAD1NEJAD: can't you just lock the screen? [19:09] there's a few for mac [19:09] and windows [19:09] alphababy, babysmash [19:09] jkhgyuhygtfv: that might be true.. don't really remember [19:09] i have used synaptic and also the add/remove dialog to install adobe flash yet when i go to tools / add ons in FireFox it does not show up [19:10] seishi: partimage is one possibility [19:10] AHMAD1NEJAD: this isn't mac or windows [19:10] Slart: Yeah, I need something to remove the viruses... I already know they're there :) [19:10] you don't say [19:10] i thought it was plan 9 [19:10] When trying to upgrade hardy -> intrepid, apt-get dist-upgrade -s gives the error "E: Internal Error, Could not perform immediate configuration (2) on libsasl2-2". update-manager also fails, with possibly related errors (http://paste.ubuntu.com/81507/) [19:10] jkhgyuhygtfv: there are some antivirus apps for linux from commercial vendors.. avast/avg etc [19:10] how do i make an ntfs partition ? [19:10] cfdisk [19:10] Slart: And they'll clean Windows partitions? === emretemp|away is now known as emretemp [19:10] jtaji, thanks [19:10] gparted if you suck [19:10] could someone recommend a partition imaging tool other than partimage, for backing up ntfs? [19:10] Seems like this would be a huge market. [19:11] onx: dd [19:11] jkhgyuhygtfv: I haven't tried those either.. you'll ask the developers about that [19:11] bork: https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cyrus-sasl2/+bug/194140 [19:11] AHMAD1NEJAD, something with a TUI/GUI? [19:11] VerumAddo: gparted can create ntfs-partitions [19:11] jkhgyuhygtfv: start a business :-P [19:11] .pl [19:11] my internet is not working in ubuntu though it works in windows ? [19:11] cfdisk wont run ... nice [19:11] heh [19:12] VerumAddo: sudo cfdisk [19:12] VerumAddo: man cfdisk [19:12] yeah [19:12] thx [19:12] man cfdisk first [19:12] read it all [19:12] <- retarded shoulda thought sudo [19:12] gparted is great when you can't use a computer without drop shadows [19:12] jrib: thanks! [19:12] VerumAddo: follow AHMAD1NEJAD's advice though, it can kill hd's if not used correctly [19:13] im reading [19:13] Okay, yeah... ClamAv doesn't remove viruses. Does anyone know of a Linux scanner that will scan AND clean viruses from a Windows partition? [19:13] you have to run cfdisk in a terminal, btw [19:13] yes [19:13] ncurses [19:13] im not a complete retard but thx =D [19:13] jk: avg [19:13] i too need help [19:13] the real trick is to just stop using windows [19:13] folks, my bios is reading my cdrom, but ubuntu isnt... i disconnected my cdrom recently and when i reconnected it, ubuntu wont remount it automatically [19:13] jkhgyuhygtfv: avg is a commercial version == $$ [19:13] help pease [19:13] i have a windows partition for games, that is all [19:13] please* [19:13] hmm [19:14] gavi: mount it yourself [19:14] i have a windows partition for IIS =( [19:14] AHMAD1NEJAD, im not sure which /dev it is [19:14] my internet is not working in ubuntu though it works in windows ? [19:14] well figure it out! ;) [19:14] what's the command for rebuilding your xorg.conf file (in Hardy) [19:14] more /etc/fstab [19:14] salamtak [19:14] munna: how do you connect, to a wireless router, a wired router, or direct to a modem? [19:14] probably '/dev/cdrom' [19:15] so mount -o /dev/cdrom /media/cdrom -force? [19:15] try it [19:15] how to remove windows xp professional on my boot login???i totally not use windows xp now.. [19:15] does that make sence though? [19:15] jtaji: if the wiki says "Start Matlab /usr/local/bin/matlab" do I wanna install in that directory? [19:15] goat|lappy: direct to a modem [19:15] help, I tried installing this touchpad driver and now it removed the touchpad section under "mouse" [19:15] cQ: vi /boot/grub/menu.lst [19:15] cQ: edit your bootloaded [19:15] how do I remove it again? [19:15] munna: dsl or dial-up or cable? [19:15] some app here crash with segmentation fault, i'm using ubuntu 8.10. What causes may lead to this ? I think there it is some hardware issue. So what do u all think ? [19:15] hi I just installed ubuntu 8.10 and it reconised out of the box my bcm driver so my wifi is working, however its marked as eth0 and not wlan0 is there a way to change this to wlan? [19:15] or vi /etc/lilo.conf [19:15] loader even [19:15] can someone explain to me why an accept button wont turn on on an installation? [19:16] jtaji: so choose /usr/local/bin for the directory, or /usr/local/bin/matlab as the directory? [19:16] goat|lappy: adsl [19:16] i have used synaptic and also the add/remove dialog to install adobe flash yet when i go to tools / add ons in FireFox it does not show up [19:16] fletch1: no probably you would set a "base install path" as /usr/local [19:16] munna: when you connect via windows, does it have to connect to the dsl with a user/password? [19:16] jtaji: ok, I'm running this from the cd though, is that a terminal command you gave me? [19:16] goat|lappy: no [19:17] we have no gays in iran!!!! [19:17] AHMAD1NEJAD, i think i nailed it [19:17] it was right [19:17] can someone explain to me why an accept button wont turn on on an installation? [19:17] i cant see nothing about windows xp [19:17] AHMAD1NEJAD: here something that might work as a alphababy replacement.. http://linux.softpedia.com/progDownload/Bambam-Download-34475.html [19:17] thanks LjL [19:17] For some reason, I can't set the screen resolution of my PC higher than 1024x768 when I want it at 1280x1024. How do I fix this? [19:17] goat|lappy: it was working properly till ths morning [19:18] munna: in ubuntu? try powering off the modem and rebooting it [19:18] jtaji: Ooh ok so when it asks "Matlab root directory location:" you would put /usr/local > [19:18] munna: then paste what you get with the command ifconfig [19:18] has anybody here ever made a live usb with unetbootin? [19:18] munna: do you know about pastebin? [19:18] Zaiden, are u using a nvidia ?

[19:19] jctheman: dpkg --configure packagename [19:19] goat|lappy: now i m in windows [19:19] seishi: Yes. I can't set it higher than 1024x768 in the Nvidia X server settings option either. [19:19] can someone explain to me why an accept button wont turn on on an installation? [19:19] did i get kicked or did i just leave [19:19] robertc: what does that even mean?

I don't think the nameserver IP will be the same then... [20:16] GodfatherofEire: every usb device should get an address (visible in dmesg) and be seen with lsusb, even if your ubuntu did not have a driver for it. so you have a hardware problem with it right now [20:16] blobX: in 3 seconds i did Alt +f2 -> gconf-editor -> crtl +f (search) -> typed network -> find the wireless settings in system>networking> [20:16] zsquareplusc, could it be because it wasnt officially supposed to work with linux? [20:17] Vincent91: I recommend getting another utility like "pump" or something if you need to interchange your network settings [20:17] Vincent91, true, but if you use network manager its gonna be edited again and you'll have acccess to other wifi spots too ;) [20:17] zsquareplusc: I've heard of people getting it to work, but that was under Gentoo, so....

Why would resolv.conf change like that all of a sudden? [20:18] zsquareplusc, any ideas? [20:18] jrib: didn't find it there [20:18] Where can I get old versions of Ubuntu? [20:18] GodfatherofEire: not really [20:18] The camera is powering up, etc, just ubuntu is not recognizing it [20:19] paul68: in the tab Views -> Icon View Defaults -> Default zoom level [20:19] Does anyone know where can I get old versions of Ubuntu? [20:19] Zeeded: why would you? ;-) [20:19] I've tried reading forums and everything, and they tell me that it could be an older codec or whatever that the media players have inherrited [20:19] hello [20:20] scriptx: The options have quiet splash in them... [20:20] I just installed Ubuntu, and now i can't get into my Windows install. How do you find the device #? === tonswin is now known as tonsofpcs [20:20] zsquareplusc: OOOOOOLD computer [20:20] hd#,# [20:20] Vincent91, tell me about it! Never used gnome before my self (coming from years of gentoo use) and still cant get use to things changinf with out me knowing or allowing it [20:20] erUSUL, there are no entries for network under system at all [20:20] Zeeded: if you are low on resources you can also try xubuntu. but i would not go to older releases [20:21] blobX: Coming from Gentoo to Ubuntu? That's unusual... I usually see people doing the opposite. May I ask you why you switched? I was personally considering trying Gentoo soon [20:21] How do I get autocompletion for apt-get aliases I have written? [20:21] Vincent91: i did exactly the same [20:21] zsquareplusc: Well do you know where I can get it? Isnt there an achieve of sorts? [20:21] scriptx: But apparently, they're not working. When I boot up my system, the grub menu appears, then I select the kernel option; it starts booting, the splash screen appears with the progress bar, but then the screen blacks and I get * Reading files required to boot and all the msgs. [20:21] Vincent91, I didnt leave gentoo, just wanted to try something new..kinda bored at home ;D [20:21] jrib: thanks do you know how to change the eth0 which is my wifi card to its correct name wlan? [20:21] i still use gentoo on my desktop but it sucks hard on a laptop, especialy if your on the run and quickly need to install something [20:22] paul68: no [20:22] jrib: no problem [20:23] Vincent91, I also trying to figure out why where network managers saves things, coz it obviously does not use interfaces conf file at all [20:23] everytime i startup i get asked for a keyring otherwise my network wont connect to the wireless.. how can i disable it so it doest ask me everytime i startup? [20:24] hi ? [20:24] which is faster: ubuntu or kubuntu? [20:24] blobX: Well yeah and the doc is often oriented towards Graphical configuration, which doesn't help with finding the config files [20:24] dios_mio: the one you know better to use [20:25] erUSUL, can you please be more specific regarding wifi settigns inside gnome-conf? As I said mine has no entries regarding wifi at all ! [20:25] My Beid reader doesn't work with my card reader (no resaction) [20:25] Vincent91, I like ubuntu so far but DO NOT like hiding settings/files from me :-D [20:25] dios_mio, they both equally slow [20:26] usser heh === gabriel is now known as coda [20:26] . [20:26] Need to find out why ndiswrapper doesnt register with modprobe, ndis works topnotch, installed drivers and all but cant find it.. :s Anyone got a clue? [20:26] I have started over, I redownloaded, reburned, and reinstalled ubuntu onto an external drive. Now when i boot and select ubuntu i grub i get "Kernel Panic - Not syncing : VFS: unable to mount root fs on unknown block(0,0). Any advice would be greatly appriciated. (Note i have tried reinstalling 3 times now, always same error) [20:27] Does anyone know to hide the "* Reading files required to boot" and subsequent msgs that appear after the splash screen in intrepid> [20:27] hi, i search a c++ compiler for eclipse, sombody can help me? [20:27] blobX: That's why I wanted to try gentoo... Ubuntu is making it too simple, I'm not learning anything [20:27] does anybody know how to kernel update from breezy badger to the 8.04 version of ubuntu ? [20:27] Why Ubuntu doesn't allow me to properly access DVD disks? [20:27] coda: you need to upgrade the whole distribution, not just the kernel since Breezy is very very old and no longer supported [20:28] retour, elaborate? video dvds? [20:28] Vincent91, well go for it I say ..download minimal cd and start from scratch.IT takes only 40 min to install base system. [20:28] retour: it does you just install a certain thing if it's a video dvd [20:28] How do I get autocompletion for apt-get aliases I have written? [20:28] jrib, : so i gotta burn the image on a cd and reinstall ? [20:28] !upgrade > coda [20:28] coda, please see my private message [20:28] coda: no, you can upgrade to dapper, then to hardy [20:28] Vincent91, you can learn TONS WITH UBUNTU TO if you just dig deep enough [20:28] blobX: 40 minutes? I had installed it on an old box but it never went much farther than that. 2 days later, I was done compiling GNOME >.< [20:29] oh alright thanks [20:29] ill try [20:29] Vincent91, I have multiple machines at home and use them all when I compile stuff, much much faster installs [20:29] i just changed all the repos of apt get since i installed it 5 minutes ago [20:30] coda: you installed breezy just now? It's a fresh install? [20:30] sup fellas [20:30] How do I get autocompletion for apt-get aliases I have written? [20:30] blobX: You mean you send the task to all of these computers and they all work together to compile for the main system? That's interesting... [20:31] Vincent91, yup check it out in gentoo docs, simple and eficient [20:31] Vincent91: yeah distcc [20:31] amikrop: just dont use the aliases then ;-) well with "set" i see that there are some functions set that implement autocompletion. thats maybe a start [20:31] I have started over, I redownloaded, reburned, and reinstalled ubuntu onto an external drive. Now when i boot and select ubuntu i grub i get "Kernel Panic - Not syncing : VFS: unable to mount root fs on unknown block(0,0). Any advice would be greatly appriciated. (Note i have tried reinstalling 3 times now, always same error) [20:31] Hmmm.... [20:32] zsquareplusc: :S [20:32] has anyone easycam? [20:32] does anybody know a c++ compiler? [20:32] my camera dont work. [20:32] blobX: That's awesome. Might take me under 2 days this time :) [20:32] Breakdown82_: g++ [20:32] Breakdown82_: g++. Install build-essential if you want to use it [20:33] hi [20:33] who is professional? [20:33] a fast question: what packet provides international time function in gnome's clock? [20:33] all right, thx [20:33] jrib, sry i was looking that stuff ^^ yes its a fresh install... the only cd i had [20:33] Vincent91, BASE system under 40 min , if you wanna gnome or kde its gonna take 5-6 hours [20:33] and it resulted to be quite old [20:34] coda: well it will be easier and faster to just burn a later release. 8.04 if you want the latest LTS release or 8.10 if you want the latest release [20:34] I wish there was a browser as responsive as Google's Chrome in Linux. Firefox seems much more sluggish [20:34] blobX: 5-6 hours is still better than 8-9 [20:35] shanepardue, have you tried Opera yet? [20:35] I swear I've done my google homework, and I can't find this. Could someone point me to a how-to for getting genuine Yahoo IM to work in Wine? [20:35] shanepardue: links2? [20:35] jrib LOL good one m8 [20:35] w3m [20:35] My internet is not working in ubuntu. dmesg: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/81539/ and ifconfig: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/81540/ [20:35] Help !! [20:35] E4emacs4: Yeah..I never can stick with it long enough..I forget why I don't like it..I don't think it's much faster though if at all [20:35] wolfwalker: appdb.winehq.com ? [20:36] blobX: I was serious :/ [20:36] jrib: I'm a slave to the gui at least for browsing the web [20:36] shanepardue: links2 -g [20:36] the new opera is way faster than firefox [20:36] jrib, you were..you do know that 80' where like 20 years ago LOL [20:36] shanepardue: if you want a little more, try dillo or kazehakase [20:36] jrib, minimalist are we ? [20:36] Just curious: is the Trash directory (the trash can) a special kind of folder? I mean it compress automathically the files you put in? would be the same having a trash directory made by my own and sending there the files ? [20:37] jrib: Cool, I'll check them out [20:37] jrib, in fact i tried to install fc10 [20:37] We need a good webkit browser in Ubuntu..hopefully epiphany is close [20:37] but by burniong it on a usb device [20:37] bad idea... [20:37] ok, iæm noob with ubuntu, so can anyone tell me what this is? [20:37] it was working well but anaconda couldnt load the image at the end [20:37] you mean, you dont know what ubuntu is? [20:38] how do I revert my sound (drivers/server/etc) to its default as if i had just rebooted my machine? for some reason after using sound on Firefox on a Flash or Java applet, the quality of the sound in the whole computer becomes significantly crappy. The only way to fix the sound is by rebooting. It's a pain to reboot. [20:38] no, what this program is... :P [20:38] hey everybody [20:38] and it messed it all up so now im just gonna upgrade i think but i doesnt look like working [20:38] package question [20:38] pumazz, ubuntu isnt a program, its a linux based operating system [20:38] No wonder I couldn't google up a way to install real Yahoo IM in Linux. Aside from VirtualBox and a Windows install there apparently ain't. [20:38] where do I get linux-image-debug-2.6.27* [20:38] ddebs doesn't have it [20:38] oh whoo. [20:39] I can't sudo echo into modprobe [20:39] shanepardue, ehm webkit on ubuntu is konqueror [20:39] My internet is not working in ubuntu. dmesg: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/81539/ and ifconfig: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/81540/ [20:39] how do I restart my sound server? [20:39] usser: I'm in gnome..I'd rather not install a kde browser..epiphany is working on a webkit version [20:39] i am not even sure what i am using [20:39] Just curious: is the Trash directory (the trash can) a special kind of folder? I mean it compress automathically the files you put in? would be the same having a trash directory made by my own and sending there the files ?. [20:40] How do I change it so that all the buttons in Open Office 3 aren't just a lone underscore? [20:40] diffred: afaik it doesn't compress anything.. having a folder of your own would work just the same [20:40] shanepardue, oh sorry then. Hope epiphany matures soon enough. [20:40] wolfwalker: actually, they have a beta version for RedHat. http://public.yahoo.com/~mmk/ [20:41] Slart: thanks :) [20:41] usser: Me too..or maybe Chrome (when released on Linux) will run like it does in windows [20:41] Muskie: you can't *what*? [20:41] Respectfully point out that RedHat is not Ubuntu, is there any way to use that in Ubuntu? [20:41] How do I flush DNS cache in linux? [20:41] Jamaulbrown: i'm not aware there is any DNS cache by default? [20:41] anybody? just trying to debug a stock kernel [20:41] how hard should that be? [20:41] hi all [20:42] ljl: i'm trying to install a TV-tuner in linux. i am having no shortage of problems. everything I do seems to just not have it show up. [20:42] kj [20:42] My internet is not working in ubuntu. dmesg: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/81539/ and ifconfig: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/81540/ [20:42] congratlations for the ubuntu team... this is the first OS that can handle the wifi in this laptop [20:42] LjL: is it not like windows where it caches the already resolved DNS addresses? [20:43] munna what does router say ? [20:43] blobX: ? [20:43] im trying to use Gnome Phone Manager with my SnyEricsson phone. how doo i find out where the /dev/ path is [20:43] munna SORRY what does "route" say ? [20:43] blobX: I haven't trried that [20:43] The music played by Amarok is not generating sound, other players works fine, any idea how to solve that ? [20:44] munna: I m now in windows [20:44] munna try it and paste the output also [20:44] I did sudo alsa-utils restart but my sound is still not back to its normal regular quality. I need to reboot. [20:44] hey, just installed ubuntu on my laptop, and the CPU scaler is constantly scaling my cpu down from 2ghz to 800mhz! How do I disable it completely? [20:44] blobX: I will have restart the system [20:44] I mean, I make a custom aluncher. It opens the "Welcome to Open Office.org 3.0" screen, and the buttons are blank. I can click them, and if I look really hard, they show what theyt are supposed to show for a split second, then go vblank again. [20:44] andresmh, you are sure its mut MUTED ? === aboSamoor1 is now known as aboSamoor [20:44] if i have a working bootloader on a USB is that enough [20:45] how do i find my phone's Device path? [20:45] anybody know the status of epiphany's webkit branch? [20:45] tdreyer1: it goes up again if a program needs the cpu power. but frequency scaling helps to gte you longer battery lifer [20:45] blobX: My internet was working previous last morning [20:45] blobX, sound is coming out of the speakers (headphones) but its quality is soo crappy after playing a Flash video or a Java applet that I need to reboot. That's the only solution I've found so far. [20:45] if i have a working bootloader on a USB is that enough to install it for real as a dedicated partition? i just need to format the hard drive and restart he computer? === __mikem2 is now known as __mikem [20:45] zsquareplusc: yeah, but it never goes up from 800mhz! [20:45] tdreyer1, what ubuntu? [20:45] samr7: i don't know why it isn't in Intrepid, but there is one Jaunty package for it, which may or may not work: http://packages.ubuntu.com/jaunty/linux-image-debug-2.6.27-1-386 [20:46] samr7:8.10 [20:46] aboSamoor: Have you considered setting up PulseAudio? [20:46] Jamaulbrown: not as far as i know. you can install deamons that do that (dnsmasq is the one i use), but by default i don't think there's anything like that. [20:46] rdw200169: No, how can I do that ? [20:46] munna 2 things that can stop you from surfing , one IP and two dns..check both please and do the route in terminal please [20:46] tdreyer1, I had a problem with this with 8.04, what does 'sudo cpufreq-selector' do [20:46] rdw200169, i am also confused about pulseaudio,where do i select it? [20:46] aboSamoor: It's a bit of a pain, well a lot of a pain, but once I got it working, I haven't gone back [20:47] andresmh, sounds like crapy drives :D [20:47] LjL, thanks checking it out [20:47] !pulseaudio [20:47] PulseAudio is a sound server intended as a drop-in replacement for !ESD - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PulseAudio for information and installation instructions [20:47] hi there, I seem to have a half configured package on my system which I would like to manually remove so that apt-get will stop griping about it [20:47] blobX, do you mean sound drives for my machine? how do i know if there are better ones? i have a thinkpad x300 [20:48] how do i even check what drives i have [20:48] if i have a working bootloader on a USB is that enough to install it for real as a dedicated partition? i just need to format the hard drive and restart he computer? [20:48] blobX: How can I check dns and IP [20:48] I've been poking about in the man pages for dpkg , but dpkg -P failes to remove the packaged [20:48] avegas: what's the error with apt-get exactly [20:48] avegas, maybe it has dependecies? [20:49] LjL, dpkg [20:49] blobX: please tell me any other command to execute before I restart [20:49] LjL, tux, dpkg: error processing libghc6-wash-dev (--configure): subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1 [20:49] also, I tried defragmenting my harddrive but it never finishes it seems, was running for 2hours and didnt finish, now i only have 4MB to shrink the harddrive even if I have 107000MB in total and 45GB free [20:49] tux: ? [20:49] avegas, hovever try apt-get -remove --purge package [20:49] rdw200169, so I went to System > Preferences > Sound Preferences and I see PulseAudio Sound Server is selected on the 3 playback categories. [20:49] I can't seem to find out how to scale down my CPU's performance when I don't need it to run at full speed. Does anyone know how I can to that? [20:49] samr7: nothing for a few seconds, then back to the command line [20:49] aboSamoor: andresmh, esd and pulseaudio are 'mixers' that run on top of alsa, they allow you, for example, to have two music sources playing, i.e. flash and amarok for example, it will mix both into the alsa device [20:50] munna check /etc/resolv.conf for dns and check /etc/network/interfaces for IP adr [20:50] avegas: is that on Hardy or Intrepid? [20:50] Hi, I've removed flashplugin-nonfree from my Gutsy installation to try and upgrade to flash 10 with Gdebi, but dependencies aren't satisfied. flashplugin-nonfree also fails due to (I presume) flash 9 not being available anymore from adobe... any suggestion to get flash back? [20:50] LjL, tux, yes, it is complaining about a dependency, but it seems pretty funny that you need a dependancy to remove something [20:50] 8.04 [20:50] whichever cartoon character that is :D [20:50] same here avegas [20:50] rdw200169, and what would be an alternative of PulseAudio? [20:50] avegas: wait, what dependency is it complaining about? the error message you gave doesn't mention any [20:50] ALSA ? [20:50] ghc-pkg: dependency regex-compat-0.91 doesn't exist (use --force to override) [20:50] Hmm...I seem to be getting closer to a solution to my problem...I run blkid and it shows an extra swap partition as /dev/sda8...does anyone know how to fix the swap partition? [20:50] remove package1 package2 ... [20:50] andresmh: well, when you start amarok, you can check if it's using pulseaudio by using the pulseaudio applet, and selecting Manager... [20:51] I think when I resized the swap partition, it wrote all sorts of different UUIDs in my config. files. [20:51] avegas: look can i have the *complete* error message? [20:51] I am using the last.fm app [20:51] avegas, yes the complete error [20:51] tdreyer1, try maybe 'sudo cpufreq-selector -f 2000' ? [20:51] munna more info here http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=25557 [20:51] andresmh: so, ALT + F2 -> padevchooser [20:51] is not simple to help without it [20:52] tux, let me find a pastebin [20:52] !pastebin > avegas (avegas, see the private message from ubottu) [20:52] rdw200169, blobX oh I fixed my low-quality sound quality by setting ALSA in my Sound Preferences!

[20:54] diego_: there might be double entries in your menus after that unless I'm mistaken [20:54] diego_: what version of ubuntu are you running? [20:54] intrepid [20:55] 8.10 [20:55] diego_: ok [20:55] PsynoKhi0: What's the meaning of "double entries"? [20:55] avegas, tried --force option? [20:55] diego_: it should be fine, backup important stuff just in case though [20:55] yep [20:56] diego_: that the same submenu/program link appears twice [20:56] blobX: i am coming after a restart of the PC [20:56] munna netmask sould be 255.255.255.0 coz you are using C class network and resolve.conf is empty --> you need to add IP of your DNS machine ..maybe router IP if its the one that provides DNS for you? [20:56] tdreyer1, I don't know a command, but the gnome panel "CPU Frequency Scaling Monitor" applet ought to work :) [20:56] <_ph> Hi. I added OpenOffice 3.0 ppa repository for my Ubuntu Hardy, but still the latest available openoffice version is 2.4. What am I doing wrong? [20:56] avegas: ah, that's not actually an *ubuntu* dependency that it's complaining about, it's some packaging system of its own. let me install it and look [20:56] blobX: let me try [20:56] samr7: k, it's still showing 800 mhz [20:56] PsynoKhi0: That should be easy to fix, isn't it? [20:57] hi, can i connect mypc to my phone via bluetooth, using pc as stereo headset? [20:57] tdreyer1, I don't know at this point, they changed the cpufreq tools around in 8.10 [20:57] _ph: the OOo 3 packages have been pulled from that repository due to problems, you will have to wait [20:57] diego_: I guess :) [20:57] when I am in Sound Preferences, trying to decide which devices to pick is daunting. ALSA, OSS, PulseAudio, HDA Intel, Analog Devices, etc.... I just want to be able to use Skype, watch Flash videos and play Last.fm! [20:57] diego_: like "sudo apt-get remove ubuntu-desktop" [20:58] marek_, you mean use the PC as a hands free? [20:58] there might be a less drastic solution but you'll have to google for it sorry :) [20:58] PsynoKhi0: Ok thanks! =) [20:58] np [20:58] <_ph> LjL: ah, ok. So when they're ready, they'll be pushed back and available for update, right? [20:58] LjL is there a more specific source for linux-image-debug?

[21:07] asdfiest, install it on usb then setup boot via usb in bios [21:07] newmansan: how did you install it and on which version of ubuntu? [21:07] thanks for the link, ;/ [21:07] 8.1, and I downloaded the package from ther website, unpacked, then installed like that [21:08] asdfiest, do a specific question [21:08] Can anyone help with Wine? [21:08] i could be your man [21:09] rc.local, is it ran by root of the current user? [21:09] matt_____: root. when /etc/rc.local runs, no user has logged in yet [21:09] can somebody please help me with mencoder : http://paste.ubuntu.com/81565/ ? [21:10] I'm dual-booting WinXP and Intrepid. Everything worked great. I have all the packages I need, everything's tweaked. I decided to make some more space for Ubuntu on my drive. So I did some partitioning today. Everything still works, but I resized the swap partition, too. And that seems to have caused some sort of UUID mixup. Now whenever I boot into Ubuntu, the splash screen disappears at Reading files required to boot, but [21:10] LjL: Perhaps that is my problem, perhaps not. Basically..what'd be the right way to make a media server program for the xbox 360 (fuppes) start at boot? Well..I should say everytime the computer turns on. It should be probably the last thing that happens on boot. [21:10] is there any bandwidth monitor that tracks the source of packets? [21:10] tiyowan, change uuid in fstab [21:10] bmon only tracks the interfaces [21:10] get another uuid [21:10] there's a command [21:11] tux: i have it installe don usb, did netbooter ont he image so i can run it from usb already. so then setup boot via usb in bios?

[21:12] How do I set the default application to load when I plug in a digital camera? for some reason F-Spot is not recognized by the appellate that opens when I plug the camera in. [21:12] tux: I've tried....could you take a look at the pastebin please? The highlighted line for /dev/sda8 is freaking me out. Thanks. [21:12] newmansan: the howto is for 8.04 but since you mentioned you d/led the packages and instructions for Intrepid resolve about adding the repositories, that's the closest I could think of [21:12] matt_____: the right way is to have an /etc/init.d script for the program (turning it into a service). fuppes is not available in Ubuntu, but other media servers that you could try (such as mediatomb, gmediaserver and ushare) are, and come with an /etc/init.d script ready to go [21:12] tiyowan, post it [21:12] samr7: if you can't find it, then just grab the source and rebuild it I guess [21:12] asdfiest, i can't understand [21:12] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash seems outdated btw [21:13] LjL: I've got fuppes setup and running. I've actually found some sort of thing for creating a script like that. [21:13] Where, on my harddrives, is GRUB? [21:13] kitche, thanks for the links, but they do not help in my case I'm afraid. [21:13] anyone knows how I can completly kill wpa_supplicant daemon whenever I disconnect from a wireless network? Im tired of -9'ing it all the time [21:13] How do I disable the CPU Frequency Scaling completely in 8.10? [21:13] boot sector, b3njamin [21:13] asdfiest, you install it with grub command (some commands) on usb the boot up (in bios setup is for usb on boot) [21:13] b3njamin: /boot/grub/menu.list .. but there's also something in the boot record of the boot drive. [21:13] LjL: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=618781&page=2 Second post to the bottom [21:14] asdfiest: you have made a live USB boot using unetbootin? and it works? then you should be able to install ubuntu from that stick [21:14] anyone knows how I can completly kill wpa_supplicant daemon whenever I disconnect from a wireless network? Im tired of -9'ing it all the time [21:14] tux: http://pastebin.com/m2483460 [21:14] matt_____: yes, that is an /etc/init.d script. you just need to drop it into the /etc/init.d directory, make it executable, and then run "sudo update-rc.d fuppes default" [21:14] Is there a way to install grub on a non-partioned drive (i.e. MBR only)? [21:14] matt_____: (assuming that script is correct of course) [21:15] LjL: Oh...gotcha. I don't konw anything about update-rc.d [21:15] I have trouble with my sound in general, but diferent programs would give me sound off different devices, I rebooted and now I've got sound off 'Exaile' but VLC is mute.. anyone have any idea what's wrong? [21:15] matt_____: then, you can start fuppes manually with "sudo invoke-rc.d fuppes start", or just let it start automatically at boot [21:15] <_x86_> hello [21:15] tiyowan, wait now [21:15] tux: Thanks. [21:15] can i find the grub dir in windows? [21:15] matt_____: update-rc.d is the command that lets you decide which services are started at boot, and with which priority. invoke-rc.d is the one that lets you manually start, stop and restart them. [21:15] windows partition* [21:16] hello and good evening, i dont get dri enabled. i use the open radeon driver and a ati mobility radeon x700xl. xorg.conf also loads the dri module and also the dri section is written in there. what could be the problem?

[21:16] <_x86_> im truing but i cant must have bad repos or smthing [21:16] matt_____: that's, in practice, the very same as doing sudo invoke-rc.d fuppesd start. but in theory, you're supposed to use invoke-rc.d, not to call scripts manually. [21:16] tiyowan, now go in shell and type sudo vol_id -u /dev/sda8 [21:16] _x86_: prolly not bad repos, probably closed repos.

The version you hacve should be fine [21:27] *have [21:27] WHAT!

[21:52] Im pretty nooby but what I want is: 1. wipe out windows vista entirely. 2. install a full dedicated ubuntu. I have a working USB-memeory-live-cd. ie I can boot from a USB. when I run from the Ubuntu USB-drive inside ubuntu there is an install icon on the desktop. can it take care of everything for me? partioning and everything? [21:52] LjL: I may. but it seems to me as if I didn't "update" it right. [21:53] wipewindows: Everything [21:53] matt_____: could very well be, what does "find /etc | grep fuppes" give? [21:53] wipewindows: That is actually your easiest bet [21:53] ok cool. i go for it [21:53] LjL: http://pastebin.com/m3c5a87a6 [21:54] wipewindows: hOW MANY HARDDISKS DO YOU HAVE? [21:54] Hi, i've got a hdd which seems to be dead or dying. Its IDE and when plugged in ubuntu takes forever to boot then drops into BusyBox and comes up with a shed load of errors for the particular drive. It doesnt seem to try and correct them, but atleast it seems to recognise the drive. After this ubuntu desktop loads fine, but the drive isnt recognised anywhere... any light you can shed on this at all?! [21:54] ive installed ubuntu 8.10 on my macbook that i bought back in feb 2008 when i run ifconfig i dont see anything wireless [21:54] matt_____: it seems to have quite updated, actually [21:55] is there anyone awake who can help me with some IPtables configuration? [21:55] matt_____: i'm thinking that, perhaps, when fuppes tries to start there's something else that it needs that's not yet been set up during boot. but i have no idea what that would be, so i'd check the logs [21:55] LjL: So I thought. What it now seems to me...how does it know to start it? I mean...all I did was add fuppesd, and I don't see how the script knows to start it [21:55] anyone know where I can find a package for Bluez 4.22 or anything newer then 4.12 ? [21:56] hi [21:56] matt_____: the line that starts it is start-stop-daemon --start --quiet --background --exec /usr/local/bin/fuppes [21:56] matt_____: of course, it does need to be in /usr/local/bin [21:56] everytime Xorg comes up it asks what driver i want to use.... i say intel.... it changes it to i810 and runs vesa..... why?.. intel works with my system... i've used it before [21:56] Has anyone found a way to integrate conky into a panel? If so, can someone point me in the right direction please? [21:57] LjL: it is. But what I mean.when I updated whatever, does it "KNOW" to start it? [21:57] matt_____: yes, that's what the update-rc.d command does [21:57] matt_____: it tells the system that you want it started at boot [21:57] calc: i had a hunch, and added "noapic" to my boot line, and it WORKS! lol, now i'm going to try to figure out why [21:57] hey guys [21:58] matt_____: (by creating all those symlinks that you can see in /etc/rc*) [21:58] have a quick question. Im running Software raid. RIght now my system is 32bit. Would i see any improvements by going to 64bit? [21:58] LjL: but it knows to do the start flag? Or what? because all I did was fuppesd, not anything else. not fuppesd start. or does that run a command located in /usr/local/bin? [21:59] hi. I have some trouble getting grub vga mode for my thinkpad running :( any experts here? [21:59] need help i keep gettig IO errors from cdROM is this serious ? [21:59] emilien: cd has scratches? [21:59] HI, how to upgrade my gtk to the latest version? [22:00] LjL: what I'm asking now...should I have updated it to the name of the script you wrote, or the command in /usr/local/bin? [22:00] matt_____, "start" is a standard parameter. *all* /etc/init.d scripts must accept "start" as a parameter. so yes, the system knows that it must pass "start" [22:00] afancy: look into synaptic package manager for gtk [22:00] matt_____: the name. [22:00] afancy: find the package you need :) [22:00] phaidros, no happen with all cds [22:00] LjL: Then I don't have the slightest clue as to what to do. [22:01] matt_____: look at the logs, luke [22:01] emilien: not to good. your cd drive might gone mad. I have seen alot of thinkpad laptop cd drives failing after a year (means some days over warranty .. ) [22:01] LjL: it doesn't use a logfile by default..you have to give it one. If I edit the start line to give it a lgfile...will that work/ [22:02] when using vga=0x343 on grub i don't see anything on console 1-7 :( [22:02] but 0x343 should be supported, at least hwinfo --framebuffer says. [22:02] do I need video=radeonfb on the kernel line? [22:02] (which doesn't help if I put .. ) [22:03] *any* hints? [22:03] I'm trying to mount an .mdf file, no dice. Tried to use mdf2iso then mount the iso, same same. Any idea? [22:04] herrmess: I had issues with .nrg like this, nrg2iso failed. only success was to read it on windows on ma girls lappi ..

[22:18] foges: cd into the directory and do: for file in *; do program "$file"; done [22:18] matt_____: not really. putting it in .bashrc will mean it'll start every time you log into a shell. what a terrible idea [22:18] what happened to /etc/network/if-up.d functionality in 8.10? [22:18] the scripts inside there doesnt seem to be executed [22:18] foges: the * will glob all of the files into the directory and iterate through them, this is better than the number setup obviously [22:19] LjL: meaning what exactly? I run it on a server. [22:19] LjL: with no gui. [22:19] sheep: where would i apply the $()? eg: $(`seq 1 50`) doesnt work [22:19] Can anyone help me patch my broadcom adapter for aircrack-ng? I have something popping up: http://paste.ubuntu.com/81591/ [22:19] matt_____: meaning that every time you log into that server (and not before), fuppes will start. [22:19] ktos PL [22:19] foges: seq is always unnecessary in bash [22:19] matt_____: also, it will most likely close down when you log out. [22:19] if you needed numbers you would use for ((i=0; i<51; i++)) anyhow [22:19] ok, so i can just say ./program *.pnm?

The prompt says 'initramfs'. the ubuntu logo and the progress bar is showing for a few seconds before it happens...what has happened to the ubuntu install ? [22:59] im not tooo sure the program installed to the root directory [22:59] but ill try [22:59] makito249: try to add repositories deb http://www.debian-multimedia.org sid main and deb-src deb-src http://www.debian-multimedia.org sid main [22:59] how do i run a script as root? [22:59] i havent done anything to this install in months... [23:00] makito249: try to add repositories deb http://www.debian-multimedia.org sid main and deb-src http://www.debian-multimedia.org sid main [23:00] hou5ton, gnome tab browsing , better networking manger ect [23:00] matt_____: do tell [23:00] emilien: thanks ... just can't decide if I want to mess with it .... I could do a clean install ... [23:01] prakash: you can't, but you can make your system swallow the packets without giving a reply [23:01] emilien: upgrades on top of what I already have ... haven't always been that successful for me [23:01] hou5ton: there are no big changes.. you could as well try the live cd and decide later [23:01] zsquareplusc: thanks .... ya ... I'll probably sit tight for a while ... this is working sweet [23:02] Great, libavcodec did the trick [23:02] hou5ton, in that case, better wait for the next LTS, 9.04 [23:02] hey im trying to install xchat but in the repos its not there when i search for it [23:02] hou5ton: I have the impression that 8.10 is not completely finished yet. [23:02] matreya6: that's probably a good idea ... it will be here soon enough === lifi is now known as _lifi [23:02] glick, you got to enable the Universe repo [23:02] glick: do you have universe/multiverse enabled in the packet sources? [23:03] hou5ton, no nor have i to be honest , i would recommend clean install .. however if your happy with 8.04 stik with it [23:03] EightEleven, emilien : sounds good ... thanks for the advice ... [23:03] * zsquareplusc upgraded w/o issues [23:03] is there anyone that has managed to run tbeta on ubuntu? (working with a webcam) [23:03] well, no big ones :p [23:03] hou5ton, apart from the optical drive popping right in after eject, I had no issues. [23:04] it is enabled matreya6 [23:04] i also cant seem to install restricted drivers [23:04] glick, those are either in universe, or Mulitiverse [23:04] i had trouble with nm-applet, screen resolutions and SATA disks. [23:04] glick, Multiverse [23:04] Can anybody help me to get 3D effects working for Dreamlinux 3.5? [23:04] multiverse is checked too [23:05] !ubuntu [23:05] Ubuntu is a complete Linux-based operating system, freely available with both community and professional support. It is developed by a large community and we invite you to participate too! - Also see http://www.ubuntu.com [23:05] !support | ziggy1194 [23:05] ziggy1194: The official ubuntu support channel is #ubuntu. Also see http://ubuntu.com/support and http://ubuntuforums.org [23:05] LjL: I have tried EVERYTHING. [23:05] How do i install KDE4? I have Ubuntu 8.10 it's running Gnome. What's the command to install kde4 along side of gnome so i can select what desktop environment to run when i login? [23:05] Yikes! CD drive is locked, no way to open it (eject cdrom won't work, frigging HW BUTTON won't work). [23:05] herrmess: Unmount it [23:05] EightEleven, nm-applet has been deinstalled from my system. It had better improve a whole lot before I'm only thinking of putting that piece of ... back in [23:05] glick> can you pastebin your sources.lst [23:05] herrmess: "sudo umount -f /media/cdrom" where /media/cdrom is actually whatever it's mounted as [23:05] ziggy1194: dreamlinux isn't supported here. This channel is *only* for support with Ubuntu distributions, not Debian or Ubuntu-derived distributions. [23:05] I put a long line in rc.local...specifying the config files and everything, and then added a log file. Something isn't right. I don't know. It's like fuppes isn't even installed on boot. Well..I mean it is..but it doesn't want to start. [23:05] herrmess: Make sure nothing is using it though [23:06] herrmess: you have an application accessing the drive. lsof | grep cdrom might help finding that [23:06] Um, no disc in the CD. [23:06] pulsewave: sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop [23:06] exodus_ms: when i go to synaptic package managers and click on the repositories menu they are all checked [23:06] LjL: UP. and I even tried messing with the /usr/local/bin/fuppesd [23:06] rww: thanks [23:06] matreya6: Too bad then that nm-applet is standard on new Ubuntu installs. [23:06] glick, I even deinstalled networkmanager alltogether, I like direct control through etc [23:07] glick> ok... just trying to help [23:07] matt_____: what about the log? [23:07] EightEleven, yes it is, but a lot of people using wireless are quite happy with it. [23:07] LjL: never could get it to work. I mean sure..If I run the command with the log in terminal right now..it pops up. but couldn't get it to work in any scripts or anything. [23:07] lsof output is empty. umount /cdrom says it's not mounted. [23:07] ubuntu seems to be getting worse now [23:07] glick: sorry to sound silly ;-) you did "update" after changing the packet sources? [23:07] yes zsquareplusc [23:08] !gammu [23:08] EightEleven, nm-applet is one thing, but if you are comfortable setting up a network manually, then I'd recommend to deinstall networkmanager alltogether [23:08] LjL: wait a momment! [23:08] Sorry, I don't know anything about gammu [23:08] matt_____: including when you start it with invoke-rc.d? [23:08] LjL: this may have something to do with it. [23:08] !gammu [23:08] glick: the new synaptic has a quick search box that can trick you.. make sure you use the real search and that quicksearch text box is empty.. === jupiter is now known as Guest57680 [23:09] LjL: the config files aren't actually in /home/matt/.fuppes/, they are in home/matt/Data (another hard disk). I soft linked them together, to make editing them easier with kate on my client. Let me try one thing. [23:09] wtf? now it works [23:09] LjL: what happens if you rm a symlink? [23:09] matt_____: does that hard disk get mounted in fstab? [23:09] zsquareplusc: hmm thats messed up,your right [23:09] matt_____: that the symlink gets removed [23:09] LjL: yes it does [23:10] matreya6: Setting up normal wired connections is no problem for me. But I use nm-applet for setting up wireless connections. [23:10] * herrmess sulks. [23:10] LjL: but the actual file? [23:10] glick> could you just type gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.lst and use http://paste.ubuntu.com/ to copy and paste your list [23:10] hello [23:10] matt_____: is left intact [23:10] matreya6: The bug that bothered me in nm-applet got fixed a few days ago though. [23:10] So it is working just enough again at the moment. [23:10] do ati card perform well in ubuntu? [23:10] one more q: how do I boot ubuntu to runlevel 3? [23:11] EightEleven, that's really nice to hear. So did that bugfix also fix the disconnection of one interface if I plug in a second one? [23:11] init 3 [23:11] blinkn1: I have an ATI Radeon 9000 and it usually works nicely in ubuntu. [23:11] At the moment I have a little problem with switching resolutions though. [23:11] eddieAW: there is nothing speacial in runlevel 3, why would you? [23:11] ok [23:11] And I don't know about other cards. [23:11] i guess i should be alright with my 4850 [23:11] blinkn1: where do I put init 3? [23:11] !runlevels [23:11] In Ubuntu all runlevels except 0,1 and 6 are by default equal. Also keep in mind that Ubuntu now uses !Upstart instead of System V init so there is normally no /etc/inittab. [23:12] LjL: but you said that the bashrc is ONE, is there more than one files like this. Besides rc.local. I just want to try everything possible. [23:12] matreya6: Nope, this bugfix was specifially for nm-applet disappearing when facing non-standard network configurations. [23:12] Im still having problems with maple... i tried installin it to usr/bin/maple11 but i still have permission problems === solid_li` is now known as solid_liq [23:13] LjL: my idea didn't work. let me try the log file again. Stick around for about 3 minutes..please. [23:13] matt_____, the other obvious possibility is crontab. [23:13] EightEleven, well, plugging in a second NIC manually configured with ifconfig, becuase NetworkManager couldn't even find it might qualify as such... [23:14] matt_____: but an init.d script *really* should work, especially if it works when started manually. [23:14] kern: when installing source packahges, you should either install to /usr/local or /opt th other places should be left to the package management.. [23:14] I'm getting random kernel panics on Intrepid, 2.6.27-9, caps lock blinks, nothing in the logs, not even Alt+SysRq keys have any effect...how else can I get enough information to either add to or create a bug report for this? [23:14] I have a nvidia driver that screams for runlevel 3, that's my problem [23:14] what's the best package to install kde4 on regular ubuntu? i don't want to change the splash screen or the login screen. [23:14] LjL: I seriosly thought of crontab..but can you make it "go on boot"? [23:14] matt_____: no [23:14] eddieAW: where did you get that driver? [23:14] Hi I'm having trouble playing a DVD, I can't see any picture and the audio is choppy [23:14] matt_____: but is waiting say a minute a big deal? [23:14] nvidia.com [23:14] !vlc [23:15] eddieAW, don't use envy! [23:15] Audio (Ogg, MP3...) players: Audacious, Banshee, Beep Media Player, Listen, Quod Libet, Rhythmbox, Exaile, XMMS2 (GTK/Gnome based) and Amarok, JuK (Qt/KDE based). Video players: Totem, Xine, MPlayer, VLC, Kaffeine - See also !codecs [23:15] matreya6: Yes nm-applet often seems to have trouble with second NICs. [23:15] I don't [23:15] LjL: No, it isn't. but I don't see what you mean? How could I schedule it in crontab? [23:15] exodus_ms: I'm using VLC [23:15] eddieAW: huh. well maybe it means that you should stop the gui (gdm) and work in a console. [23:15] EightEleven, that is downright primitive as linux is a network OS from the ground up [23:15] <|MUSE|> could someone tell me difference between gksu and gksudo? [23:15] LjL: I mean...I could have it start every 5 minutes..but wouldn't that cause problems? [23:15] LjL: matt@Server:~$ sudo /etc/init.d/fuppesd start [23:15] start-stop-daemon: unrecognized option `--log-level' [23:15] Try `start-stop-daemon --help' for more information. [23:16] matreya6: Yes, this things should normally just work indeed. [23:16] but pls tell me how to stop X? I use intrepid and X is like the Energizer bunny [23:16] LjL: I get that when I use this line:start-stop-daemon --start --quiet --background --exec /usr/local/bin/fuppes --log-level 3 --log-file /home/matt/log.txt [23:16] matt_____: yes, you need to somehow check that it's not *already* started. the init.d script does it automatically, so you can use that [23:16] |MUSE|: Nothing. In fact gksudo is symlinked to gksu [23:16] eddieAW, you can switch runlevels with telinit [23:16] hello [23:16] <|MUSE|> bimberi: ah.. thanks [23:16] LjL: so could i do something like /etc/init.d/fuppesd start in crontab? [23:16] eddieAW: try 'sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop' [23:16] zsquareplusc maple needs to install through a java virtual Machine... so thats where it says to install it to .. the root ... and so thats what i did... [23:16] there are some body who speaking Franch [23:16] I can see the menu, after I click play the picture disappears but I can still hear it. Also, it's choppy but my CPU% doesn't spike [23:16] matt_____: do you hate invoke-rc.d so much? [23:16] !fr [23:16] Ce canal est en anglais uniquement. Si vous avez besoin d'aide ou voulez discuter en francais, merci de rejoindre #ubuntu-fr [23:16] !fr | nds [23:16] nds: please see above [23:16] !fr | nds [23:17] LjL: just not habbit. [23:17] zsquareplusc, but im not sure how can i remove it now from those locations and then reinstall it to where u told me to? [23:17] LjL: matt@Server:~$ sudo invoke-rc.d /etc/init.d/fuppesd start [23:17] invoke-rc.d: unknown initscript, /etc/init.d//etc/init.d/fuppesd not found. [23:18] matt_____: the problem seems to be that start-stop-daemon only accepts an executable name without any parameters [23:18] matt_____, that's wrong. it's "sudo invoke-rc.d fuppesd start" [23:18] EightEleven, the best thing with NM is still to come...Did you know that it cleared my /etc/resolv.conf, making DNS resolution impossible if I even connected my 2nd NIC? [23:18] matt_____: can't you specify in fuppes' *config files* that you want logging? [23:18] kern: its not uncommon to have no uninstall for such software.. that's why it is a good idea to install to /opt, in a directory per application. i dont know if your app has an uninstall [23:19] LjL: oooh...good thinking.. [23:19] matreya6: Yes, I have seen it do that in Ubuntu version 7 or 6 already. [23:19] what is the command to turn off the wallpaper for remote desktop connections in the terminal? [23:19] LjL: but what about this? when it runs the script at boot..will it be ran as root or my name? === _lifi is now known as lifi [23:19] matreya6: I encountered it when setting up an OpenVPN VPN. [23:19] kern: a good option for installing may be, create a folder in /opt/ make and yourself the owner. then you can install the application there as user and not as root. so the installer cant mess with your system [23:20] LjL: matt@Server:~$ sudo invoke-rc.d fuppesd start [23:20] start-stop-daemon: unrecognized option `--log-level' [23:20] Try `start-stop-daemon --help' for more information. [23:20] matt_____: root. it has no idea about your user [23:20] EightEleven, yes, that ivolves plugging in a extra, virtual NIC [23:20] matt_____, please stop pasting in the channel like that, use the pastebin [23:20] matt_____: thanks.. but you don't need to paste all this all the time ;-) [23:20] matt_____: yes, that's because as i said start-stop-daemon seems to not take command parameters. which is why i suggested to look for enabling logging in the config files. [23:21] LjL: Oh, I'm sorry. I usually set 3 lines my max, but I will. But if it is ran as root, it won't find the config files [23:21] LjL: will it? because they are in /home/matt/ [23:21] I'm getting random kernel panics on Intrepid, 2.6.27-9, caps lock blinks, nothing in the logs, not even Alt+SysRq keys have any effect...how else can I get enough information to either add to or create a bug report for this? [23:21] Can someone enlighten me.. If I have Apache2 installed can I also install Tomcat j2ee? or is the J2EE an extension of apache2.. obviously I'm confused. [23:21] EightEleven, care to PM? [23:21] matt_____: as a matter of fact it won't, if there's no /etc config file telling it to. [23:21] hey what do i have to install for kernel dev? [23:22] LjL: what do you mean by that? [23:22] Can someone help me with the choppy DVD issue please? [23:22] matt_____: it is just 3 lines. its just !noise and not extremly informative. --log-level is probably an option for your programm and not start-stop-deamon. [23:22] gconftool-2 --unset /desktop/gnome/remote_access/disable_background? [23:22] matt_____: if you want to run it from your own user, the simplest thing really is crontab (although the "right" thing would still be to use an init.d script and set up a user specifically for fuppes) [23:22] QPid: use mplayer and not totem.. or use vlc. this typically fixes the issue. [23:22] matt_____: try starting "fuppes" once and then, while it's still running, start it again. see if it refuses to start. [23:22] QPid: lemme guess. compiz + ati? [23:23] zsquareplusc: Ok...gotcha. and yeah...it's for the program. got an idea? [23:23] QPid, yes vlc is good, but Xine is even better [23:23] hi, i just created a user with shell as bash, but ~/.bashrc doesn't get sourced when i log in via ssh (haven't tried su) [23:23] i meant, it DOES work when i su [23:23] LjL: it sorta does..sorta doesn't. [23:23] ssmy_: PekWM + nVidia [23:23] ganymede: when you log in over ssh, .bash_profile is sourced instead [23:23] whats the opposite of this command: gconftool-2 --unset /desktop/gnome/remote_access/disable_background [23:23] LjL: it tries to..but fails to bind a socket [23:23] that unset it how do you set it? [23:24] matt_____: a "--" will tell s-s-d that arguments for the application follow [23:24] matreya6: Okay, I'll try to play it with xine [23:24] matt_____: now type "pidof fuppes", does it say anything? [23:24] matreya6: I'm currently also very busy with a chat in #ubuntu-nl about my resolution problems. [23:24] QPid: try mplayer like Scunizi said. try different video outputs. x11 for instance. [23:24] LjL: 5695 [23:24] ganymede: try adding a line in .bash_profile like this: if [ -r ~/.bashrc ]; then . ~/.bashrc; fi [23:24] matt_____: http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/intrepid/en/man8/start-stop-daemon.html ;-) [23:24] QPid, mind you, xine can seem primitive at first and takes a steep learning curve, but it is more efficient and flexible [23:24] zsquareplusc: so that would probably give me a correct log file? [23:24] hi [23:25] EightEleven, then I'll join that channel as well ( I'm Ducth) [23:25] matt_____: then you can run "crontab -e" as your user, and put this line: */2 * * * * if ! pidof fuppes; then /usr/local/bin/fuppes --log-file /home/matt/log.txt; fi [23:25] how can config the cooler fun from ubuntu desktop plz [23:25] jgoguen, yep, works, thanks. don't understand why sometimes .bash_profile is sourced, and sometimes .bashrc [23:25] matt_____: this will try starting fuppes every two minutes, only if it's not found already running [23:25] hi [23:26] matt_____: i don't know if that daemon you are starting is logging correctly. you may also need to set a file name for the logs. and if you dont run it as root, the log file must be owned by that user [23:26] zsquareplusc, okay.. there doesnt appear to be an uninstall how could i remove it from root? [23:26] kern: i don't know.. [23:26] how do i set this instead of unest it? gconftool-2 --unset /desktop/gnome/remote_access/disable_background [23:27] ganymede: it has to do with whether the shell is a login shell...opening Terminal isn't a login shell, so it uses .bashrc, while logging in over SSH is a login shell and so it uses .bash_profile [23:27] jgoguen, thanks for the explanation [23:27] ganymede: what I do is to force it to use both...all my configuration goes into .bashrc, and in .bash_profile all I have is the line I gave you [23:27] I'm trying to connect to inet with gprs connection using my samsung e900 mobile connected via USB cable, I've configured pppd connection scripts, but after typing pppd call gprs got this message: http://wklej.org/id/25408/ anyone have any idea what can i do with it ? [23:28] ganymede: that way, it's the same setup no matter how I log in [23:28] "Can't locate your X11 installation" error...I have X11 apps and X11 utils installed already [23:28] LjL: I understand everything..but I don't understand how you did the if statement. does it mane if there is a pid for fuppes, don't start it. [23:28] i wonder if i can login as root andthen delte it [23:28] kern: are you aware that Ubuntu comes with several computer algebra system (CAS) applications in the standard repositories (although they might not be as powerful as Maple, possibly)? [23:28] anyone? [23:28] sudobash: change --unset to --set? or open gconf-editor and do it manually? [23:28] well perhaps [23:28] but the fact is i have maple [23:28] hello, i have a problem, direct rendering is only enabled as root but not as normal user [23:28] what to do? [23:28] i learned how to use maple [23:28] 17:25:19 < jumcore> hello, i have a problem, direct rendering is only enabled as root aalex [23:28] on wondopws and its exact same [23:28] --set says i have to specify a type [23:29] my webcam is not recognized by the most common programs. But I can check what the camera sees by this command: sudo mplayer tv:// -tv driver=v4l:width=640:height=480:device=/dev/video0 whats wrong? [23:29] sudobash: open gconf-editor and navigate to the key and change it. [23:29] NicEXE: if you have to use sudo, it may be a permission problem. or does mplayer work w/o sudo too? [23:30] does anyone know how to login as root and delete files? [23:30] NicEXE: sounds like only root can see it. open the regular programs as root (sudo programname). [23:30] kern: yes, and i also know that telling you would make it very likely that you delete the *wrong* files. [23:30] kern: sudo -i to get a root shell, sudo command to just run a command as root. [23:30] How do I run The Widget Factory once installed? "thewidgetfactory" isn't it [23:31] LjL so how can i remove the maple folder that it put in the root folder? [23:31] whats the admin name for vmware server 2? [23:32] nvm i got it :) [23:32] oh its 'twf' [23:33] i'm trying to get d2gse.exe running in wine according to the guide on appdb but i got these errors: http://paste.ubuntu.com/81635/ [23:33] i need help getting hdaps to work on my thinkpad t60p. i've installed tp-smapi-source from the repoes and i can sudo modprobe tp_smapi, but i cannot modprobe hdaps or hdaps_ec. can someone help? [23:34] all i need is for maple to launch without having to type that command in the terminal each time [23:34] so if installing it as a user is all i need to do then ill do that [23:34] kern: i'd need to know where *exactly* you put it (and perhaps just how exactly you installed it) [23:34] but its waisting about 1.2Gigs right now [23:34] okay [23:35] gpryatel: you installed in /var/lib? oh well.. and oyu run it locally ot with ssh -X? [23:35] LjL i put it exactly in /root/maple11 .... i installed it by sudo ./maple11.bin file [23:35] how do i get my taskbar back in xubuntu it is gone from desktop? [23:35] kern: even if it is installed as root you may be able to run it as user [23:35] matreya6: I'm making xine, does it usually take over 3 minutes? [23:36] is there an application i can use for video chat between ubuntu and windows? [23:36] kern: are you're sure that this maple11.bin program *only* put it in /root/maple11 and did nothing else? [23:36] guestguestnew: ekiga [23:36] guestguestnew: the harder part might be getting your video camera to work. [23:37] zsquareplusc: isn't there anything else? something established in both OS's? [23:37] LjL I'm not 100% sure if it put more files elsewhere but i do know it put files here [23:37] zsquaredplusc: i installed all the d2gs files in var/lib/pvpgn/d2gs, and i connect to the server from another computer using ssh -Xvvvp number name@192.168.1.100 [23:37] IngyGunFreak: isn't there anything else? something established in both OS's? [23:37] IndyGunFreak: isn't there anything else? something established in both OS's? [23:37] guestguestnew: it uses standards. there are programs on windoze using the same standards. openphone used to be one. and i was told netmeeting also worked [23:37] LjL when i installed it i was prompted to select a fodler to install it... so i just lciked next because the default was /root/maple11 [23:37] Cant that new GoogleChat do that also?> [23:37] guestguestnew, skype === ali3nwar3 is now known as AW [23:38] LjL so i would assume it wouldnt install files elsewhere [23:38] joaopinto: skype on linux has no webcam support [23:38] guestguestnew, yes it does [23:38] zsquareplusc: netmeeting to ekiga would work? [23:38] guestguestnew, I have tested it myself, works fine [23:39] kern: ok, so to delete it, you can type (and be *very* careful to type this correctly): sudo rm -rf /root/maple11 [23:39] gpryatel: did you try to run it locally? maybe on your side if you dont have X ready on the server? and did you try to run an other X application with ssh -x? e.g. xterm? [23:39] QPid, Wine is a bit big, yes, that might take a while [23:39] joaopinto: how and where is the option, because my brother uses windows and couldn't find it, i couldn't find it on the linux version too [23:39] guestguestnew, make sure you have the webcam properly configured on the skype settings window [23:40] matreya6: Sorry, no I meant xine not wine [23:40] I can't get my serial port to behave, is there some weird kernel stuff in the generic ubuntu kernel that can cause this? [23:40] guestguestnew, the option becomes available once you get in a voice call [23:40] i've tried minicom, cutycom, putty, can't get anything to work [23:40] QPid, xine has lot of dependencies. [23:40] i see, we were just chatting at the time [23:40] guestguestnew: http://wiki.ekiga.org/index.php/Windows_Users and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_VoIP_software has a table, find a windows software that supports one of ekigas many protocols [23:40] ath [23:40] how do i get my taskbar back in xubuntu it is gone from desktop? [23:40] zsquaredplusc i did get xterm working, was able to make the regedit changes to the e d2gs2.reg files in /var/lib/pvpgn/d2gs & ~/.wine/. was also able to get xterm working === AW is now known as ali3nwar3 [23:41] joaopinto: thanks, i guess we should have activated voice chat first [23:41] LjL okay thanks [23:41] how do i turn off the system beep so it wont when shutting down [23:41] ? [23:42] LjL now how can i make myself an owner of a folder in /opt ? [23:42] sudobash, I believe that that beep is in your BIOS [23:42] kern: sudo chown $USER.$USER /opt/folder [23:42] the BIOS does not beep on shutdown :) [23:43] sudobash: run setterm -bfreq 0 [23:43] does that have to be run each startup? [23:43] how can I change /dev/video0 to be able to used by any app (without root permissions) [23:43] *make [23:44] sudobash: yep [23:44] zsquareplusc it says there is no such fodler... i assume i would hav eto make the folder first then? [23:44] so like in rc.local or something? [23:45] sudobash: try it first, see if it works [23:45] sudobash, or in your .bashrc or .bash_profile, or all 3 perhaps. [23:45] kern: of course :-) well /opt should be there and mkdir /opt/someapplication should create one [23:45] i have a serious and weird problem. Whenever i try to open ANY website with ANY browser, i get redirected to "www.mywebserver.com". It isn't a network issue as it doesn't happen to other PCs on the same network. Any ideas? Could it be malware? [23:45] zsquareplusc should i install maple to that foler then request ownership? [23:45] sinan, is that on a ubuntu system ? [23:45] sinan, this is using firefox under ubuntu? [23:45] kern: no change ownership first. then you can install without root rights [23:45] joaopinto: yes, Hardy. [23:46] dr_willis: FF and Epiphany, both. [23:46] okay thanks ill try it out [23:46] sinan, is your dns properly configured ? [23:46] sinan, try accessing the web sites based on their ip address. [23:46] sinan: and when you use an ip number to access the web page? [23:46] sinan, check your /etc/hosts and delete anything that has to do with that site, if anything is there [23:46] joaopinto, dr_willis: same happens when i try with an IP. [23:46] kindofabuzz: let me check. [23:47] kindofabuzz: nothing there [23:47] hmm [23:47] sinan, also make sure you don't have a proxy configured on your browser [23:47] hey everyone, can anyone recommend a good HD camera that works on Ubuntu as well as Windows please? [23:47] the weird thing, it was working just 15 mins ago !! [23:47] joaopinto: checking [23:47] did you get spyware in linux? lol [23:47] sinan: are you on wireless? [23:47] HD video camera sorry [23:47] kindofabuzz, he did not [23:47] check your dns servers [23:47] no system proxy, no FF proxy. [23:47] Exposure: yes [23:47] try cable then [23:48] if that fixes it someone is messing with your wlan :) [23:48] Can someone give me some help settings up Ubuntu 8.10? My internet isn't working. [23:48] Exposure: yes, the desktop (wired) is working fine [23:48] echo "blacklist pcspkr" | sudo tee -a /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist [23:48] Exposure: how can that be done, how can it be "solved"? [23:48] i wonder if that works [23:48] Can someone give me some help setting up Ubuntu 8.10? My internet isn't working. [23:48] sinan: it can be done if your wireless network isn't sufficiently protected [23:48] salve [23:48] put glue on the pc speaker.. that mutes it down a bit. :) [23:49] hi [23:49] Exposure: umm ... my brother set it up to use WEP :P [23:49] Yahoo!, I just recovered my new system after a HDD crash and all my files are intact! [23:49] Exposure: do you have more details ? [23:49] Exposure: sinan or you are just connecting to the wrong network :/ [23:49] sinan: wep is evil, use wpa [23:49] Can someone give me some help setting up Ubuntu 8.10? My internet isn't working. [23:49] zsquareplusc: no, i am pretty sure, right network :) [23:49] well I assume he has the brains to connect to the correct network :) [23:49] zsquareplusc so the preinstallation summary says the install folder will be :     /opt/maple/maple11 and the Link Folder:     /root [23:49] whats the problem darkmage? [23:50] Exposure: let me increase the security and come back to you guys. [23:50] Exposure, nice way to put it, but "evil"? hehe [23:50] kern: link folder? why does it need that.. set it to something you have write permissions. like ~/bin (your home, bin folder) [23:51] could someone help me get my tasbar back in xubuntu? [23:51] \taskbar [23:52] Exposure: automatic wireless network join can trick you. e.g. if your own router is down and your neighbor has an open one.. ;-) [23:52] zsquareplusc it doesnt give me the option to change it [23:52] zsquareplusc: yeah but you would easily notice that [23:53] D-MAN, try asking on #xubuntu [23:53] i know theres screenlets and desklets, what else are there? [23:53] nbeebo, google has its own google-lettts also. :) [23:53] nbeebo, and opera has some also I recall. [23:53] Exposure: if you dont see the conenct popup, you have to click on the network manager icon. i think you can miss it. but anyway. lets see if wpa helps him :-) [23:54] For my router, I have to setup my DNS settings manually - I can't let my computer find it automaticly or else my internet won't work. I'm trying to setup the DNS settings on Ubuntu 8.10, can someone help me? [23:54] Say, if I want to do hibernation, does that mean I need 2 swap partitions, one for normal use, and one, the size of my memory, for swsup? [23:54] how can i delete all files with size "625 byte" ? [23:54] kern: ok. you ran it as user? [23:54] For my router, I have to setup my DNS settings manually - I can't let my computer find it automaticly or else my internet won't work. I'm trying to setup the DNS settings on Ubuntu 8.10, can someone help me? [23:54] or is all this automatic nowdays? (I'm installing ubuntu on my first notebook) [23:54] !repeat [23:54] Don'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 !patience [23:54] DarkMage2303, if you want to force a static dns config, you can just remove the domain-name requirement from /etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf [23:54] Nabi: man find [23:55] nemo: just one that is used for both purposes is fine too [23:55] nemo: No, just make sure your swap partition is at least the size of your installed ram. [23:55] zsquareplusc im not sure how can i run it as user? [23:55] I am now on WPA2, and the problem is solved ! :D [23:55] it is weird, you always hear stuff like "WEP is not secure", but you never think it will happen to you [23:55] Exposure: would you plz, full command ? [23:55] Eressolar, zsquareplusc - ok. do you guys know how that works then? how is it that I can hibernate without getting in trouble? [23:55] (especially when you are in a 3rd world country) [23:55] Hi folks. [23:55] kern: i mean you have not run it as root. i.e. the "id" command shows a name other than root [23:55] you'd think the swap, if in use, would not do well on resuming if it was overwritten with memory [23:55] sinan: look out the window, do you see any suspicious looking vans? ;) === Snump is now known as Guest55592 [23:56] good afternoon all [23:56] Oh crap he's on to me. Driver, drive! [23:56] Eressolar, zsquareplusc - like, what happens if, at the instant of hibernation, I already had half that swap in use? [23:56] Nabi: i'll have to check the manpage for that myseld [23:56] Exposure: lol, it is 2 am here :P [23:56] would hibernation simply fail? [23:56] hi all [23:56] nemo, I belive ive seen that happen. [23:56] is there a way I can set up some sort of remote desktop, that is ALWAYS ont he same port? I have to forward a port thorugh my router. I am familiar wit VNC, but when I use that, after I reboot the machine I don't have access. [23:56] nemo: suspend and hibernate are not equally well supported on all hardware. on my desktop it works out of the box. on a laptop it does not work at all .. [23:56] sinan, where are YOU ? [23:56] is anyone familiar withubuntustudio [23:56] zsquareplusc well what i know is that all the files that were installed into the folder the user owned are root [23:56] dr_willis: reaaaallly. so, think it'd make sense to make 2 swap partitions then? [23:57] nemo, it happens on my box as well, I use a spanking new Asus P5Q with Intel E8400 Core 2 Duo [23:57] nemo, just make one, 2xram [23:57] nemo, I just dont use hibernate/suspend any more.. to many issues under linux and windows for me to bother with it. [23:57] oops, be right back.... [23:57] joaopinto: hrm. that seems again like a bad idea. what happens if the swap gets used to 1x + y point? [23:57] dr_willis, it works like a dream on my macbook, though, also in Linux... [23:57] I realize that ubuntu is created with multicore processors in mind; however, is ubuntu studio also optimized for dual and quad core? [23:58] matreya6, you are lucky then. :) [23:58] joaopinto: I'm basically seeking reassurence it is reliable, otherwise if it isn't, how to tell swap to use a partition reserved just for it [23:58] the_grouch: that depends on each application. some need to be told to use multiple cores [23:58] joaopinto: so far you guys haven't been very reassurring ;) [23:58] nemo, if your swap usage is > ram size, using the system will be a problem, not hibernating :) [23:58] joaopinto: no no [23:59] dr_willis, yes where my macbook is concerned, but my other 2 boxes fail constantly in that department [23:59] joaopinto: my point is lets say I'm using, oh, openoffice, firefox, gimp, inkscape, maybe running tomcat and eclipse... [23:59] /etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf [23:59] joaopinto: I'm sucking up memory, and I am using not only 2GiB of memory but also, oh, 2.1GiB of swap [23:59] joaopinto: and I try to hibernate [23:59] For my router, I have to setup my DNS settings manually - I can't let my computer find it automaticly or else my internet won't work. I'm trying to setup the DNS settings on Ubuntu 8.10, can someone help me? [23:59] joaopinto: seems there simply won't be enough swap. what happens then? [23:59] BlinkyToon: Jordan, middle east. [23:59] joaopinto: this is in a scenario of 4GiB of swap, 2GiB of memory [23:59] nemo, hibernating a system with such an high memory usage is insane :)
