[00:24] yeahbuddy: ok, good deal [00:25] raylu: what's the syntax for that? [00:25] raylu: Tab does nothing. Doing arrows prints "^[[B" onto the screen. How the hell do I get into the root bash prompt :'< [00:25] marek_: what does "modprobe -r aoe" show?

I just got a Wordpress & LAMP setup running on an Ubuntu machine and am having some trouble. I can access the Wordpress site on the actual machine by visiting localhost in Firefox. However, I can't access the Wordpress site across my home network (by visiting the IP address). Any ideas? [00:26] ok with sudo, no output raylu [00:26] marek_: you should consider grep-ing instead of tail-ing [00:26] Kevin: what is the Listen directive set to in apache2? [00:26] raylu i even cat it, but with no sign of AoE [00:26] onetinsoldier: all this because i wanted to play wow on the lappy :) [00:26] marek_: grep -i aoe /var/log/syslog [00:26] Raylu, Forgive me for my ignorance but I'm new to Linux/Apache so I'm not quite sure. [00:26] considering this: http://www.howtoforge.com/ata_over_ethernet_debian_etch it should be some output [00:27] marek_: also, "sudo dmesg | grep -i aoe" [00:27] Kevin: look in /etc/apache2 [00:27] Dec 14 00:23:35 ubuntu kernel: [203761.913600] aoe: AoE v47 initialised. [00:27] Dec 14 00:45:30 ubuntu kernel: [ 42.363608] aoe: AoE v47 initialised. [00:27] Kevin: iirc, there's a file called listen.something or ports.something [00:27] yeahbuddy: i hear it. it's too bad we have to wait for a driver that works with newer kernel. it does work with 2.26.26... but alas... not 2.6.27 [00:27] so it seems it is loaded [00:27] ActionParsnip: what's the best syntax for it? i honestly don't know [00:27] raylu: freebsd-manpages did the trick.

I'll get back to you in a second [00:28] later all [00:29] when i do "export PKG_CONFIG_PATH='/usr/PKG_CONFIG" it lists a ">", what do i type? [00:29] nuit!! [00:29] keres: um...why are you doing that? [00:29] raylu: ActionParsnip said to do it, to set pkg_config_path right [00:29] keres: first, you can set the environment variable for the "make" command only by using "PKG_CONFIG_PATH=asdf make", but that's not what you want to do anyway [00:30] keres: configure should find that path automatically [00:30] keres: setting PKG_CONFIG_PATH manually is a last resort override [00:30] raylu: how do you configure??? [00:30] keres: i thought you already ran "./configure" after installing the mesa dev? [00:30] keres: for one thing.. you have a typo.. you're first quote was a 'single' quote... you want both quotes to be double quotes [00:30] keres, have a look at your quotes [00:31] raylu: listen is set to 443 [00:31] hi all, does anyone know which package the gnome menu is in? the default one, not the slab one in gnome-main-menu [00:32] argarg [00:32] Would anyone be able to help me opening a few ports? I can't seem to figure out my router. Could it be something Ubuntu is blocking? [00:32] So, I switched to another virtual console in Ubuntu LiveCD 8.04, and tried "sudo invoke-rc.d gdm stop" It said "Stopping GNOME display Manager...

[00:32] When I "ctrl+alt+F7"'ed back, it was still here. [00:33] How do I make it _really_ stop? [00:33] khafra: well, that should have stopped it [00:33] Does anyone know how to toggle Compiz on or off? [00:33] Kevin: try netstat -pl [00:33] toastedmilk: try system > preferences > appearance > visual effects [00:34] onetinsoldier: Perhaps the liveCD version is unusually persistent [00:34] khafra: probably [00:34] khafra: /etc/init.d/gdm stop [00:34] onetinsoldier: When I ctrl+alt+backspace the whole thing reboots [00:34] (as root). otherwise, sudo killall gdm will make it "really" stop, but there's likely another process that starts it again [00:34] raylu: That does the same thing [00:35] khafra: try what raylu says.. but for the live cd it probably won't work [00:35] ActionParsnip: what is the actual syntax to make this program build? [00:35] khafra: yeah.. live cd thing i think [00:35] And I don't think it's restarting, 'cause all the windows open have the same state [00:36] keres: you need to tell the compiler where to find its dependancies [00:36] ActionParsnip: "export PKG_CONFIG_PATH='/usr/PKG_CONFIG make" ? [00:36] keres: you don't need the export [00:36] I just upgraded from Kubuntu hardy to Kubuntu intrepid and it defaults to KDE 4, no problem, but I can't figure out what utility has replaced good old kcontrol so I can fix the stuff that I don't like in the configuration of this thing. [00:36] raylu: then what? [00:36] keres: and there is no way that command will work [00:37] raylu: Here is the output -> http://paste.ubuntu.com/84972/ [00:37] keres: unless you really have the stuff needed in /usr/PKG_CONFIG...

[00:41] How do i do administrative tasks do i have to log into root how [00:41] raylu: It looks like Apache is running - it is serving my website. Here is the output of another netstat -pl command. http://paste.ubuntu.com/84973 [00:41] !root | randal [00:41] randal: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [00:41] khafra: once you've installed the new pkg, run init 5 to start X again [00:42] randal: if you need power, put sudo at the start of the command [00:42] dft: nvidia-glx-new ?

[00:43] onetinsoldier: but he doesn't need it as an environment variable for anything else [00:43] randal: then use gksudo [00:43] Hi. Im having trouble with DNS on intrepid with my usb modem. Ive set openDNS as primary and secondary nameservers but I can only access sites by IP. Any suggestions?

I'll try init 3 [00:44] what the heck is the ' > ' dialog for? [00:44] The init 3--It does nothing! [00:44] Bah. [00:44] ActionParsnip: any idea [00:44] keres: it outputs the output going to stdout to a file [00:44] raylu: Any ideas? [00:45] randal: what command do you run to get the app up?

[00:45] keres: it's the shell waiting for more input(after the single quote you had) because your quotes were wrong [00:46] ActionParsnip: i click system-administration-users and groups and then click root then manage groups [00:46] onetinsoldier: what are the right quotes then?

[00:46] Kevin: i'm out of ideas then. perhaps you're not using the right ip to access the server [00:46] Kevin: alternatively, there's a firewall at work somewhere [00:47] danjam: /etc/resolv.conf is the irrefutable source of nameservers for linux [00:47] onetinsoldier: so type ' export PKG_CONFIG_PATH="/usr/PKG_CONFIG" ' ? [00:47] ActionParsnip: its user settings [00:47] keres: use double quotes in BOTH places [00:47] raylu: Would a firewall on Ubunu potentially be blocking it?

[00:47] danjam: so, when you get a lease, check resolv.conf to make sure that dhclient updated that file, otherwise, it didn't work the way you expected [00:47] rdw200169: I seem to remember opening and finding them there too but I'll make sure [00:48] keres: then check it, with echo "$PKG_CONFIG_PATH" [00:48] raylu: I'm currently on a wireless network. The ubuntu server is hardwired to my router.

[00:48] randal: i'd check what app that runs, then try gksudo [00:48] danjam: the only other thing i can think of, besides an incorrect ip address of course, is a firewall blocking port 53 udp [00:48] keres: ok.. there you go.. you got it now [00:48] 192.168.1.xxx [00:48] onetinsoldier: now? [00:48] ActionParsnip: how do i check what app it runs [00:48] raylu: sorry, that was for you.. 192.168.1.xxx [00:49] danjam: but that is doubtful, 99% of hardware firewalls out there will not block that (i.e. linksys etc...)

[01:23] kaliree: thats why i hang here [01:23] I love Xubuntu [01:24] I am using it now [01:24] AzizLight: thats all I know, its some bloat that mozilla insist you have, you could try another browser like opera or konqueror if you dont want to install gnome stuffs [01:24] But I could be stupid to answer your question [01:24] However Xubuntu and Ubuntu seem to run the same [01:24] we have a perfectly workin Nvidia card, with acceleration. Reboot and ubuntu nukes the xorg.conf . How do we stop this? [01:24] Have any idea how why I would be getting this error when I try to install the alternate cd? ACPI: Invalid PBLK length[0] [01:24] ActionParsnip: the computer reports that the card is a Network controller: RaLink RT2561/RT61 802.11g PCI but i know the card is a linksys whats up with that? [01:24] keres: i'm not sure why it not finding gl.h... i'm still looking it over.. while i do you can try it with your PKG_CONFIG_PATH unset if you want. [01:25] ActionParsnip: no Im a firefox addict but it's a pain to install all those gnome libs in kde :S [01:25] elphias_: the brand means nothing, the chip is what you drive [01:25] hi [01:25] oh [01:25] um ok [01:25] elphias_: you need to find how to setup the RT2561 card [01:25] keres: you DO have the 'pkg-config' package installed don't you? [01:25] keres: dpkg -l pkg-config [01:26] ikhider? [01:26] AzizLight: it's just like any other package [01:26] elphias_: it's the actual chipset of your card [01:26] oh [01:26] AzizLight: i dont see how that a pain? [01:26] -Kalierr [01:26] -Kalieree [01:26] -Kaliree--got it [01:26] Kaliree, yes [01:27] Lol. Any thoughts? [01:27] ? [01:27] so here's another question [01:27] Aye. [01:27] how do the backports repos work? [01:27] onetinman: yes [01:27] Does anyone know if there is going to be a fix for the Intel 4965 Wirless problem? At http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/releasenotes/810 it says: "Because the known fix requires a new version of the driver, it is not expected to be possible to include this fix in the main kernel package." But I do not know what this is saying. [01:27] WHAT FUCKING MAKES -> displayconfig-gtk START? [01:27] does hardy backports have backported stuff from intrepid? [01:27] elphias_: http://kmandla.wordpress.com/2006/12/17/ralink-rt61-edgy-and-nvidia-again/ [01:27] ikhider: doesn't your IRC client support nick name completion with the TAB key? ;-) [01:27] pengwyn: watch the language and the caps lock.- [01:27] !backports | catmando_ [01:27] catmando_: If new updated Ubuntu packages are built for an application, then they may go into Ubuntu Backports. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuBackports - See also !packaging [01:28] vaxius: thx [01:28] why not do 'locate displayconfig-gtk' and find out instead of cussing at everyone? [01:28] catmando_: np [01:28] help please.. i'm having problems mounting my other harddisk. [01:28] -Kaliree--alternate install CD's are a disaster. I have a 64 bit and canonical support said use the 32 bit install disc [01:28] keres: unset your environment variable.. export PKG_CONFIG_PATH="" then export DEPENDENCIES_CHECK="" [01:28] ok [01:28] kidbuntu: which is? [01:28] ActionParsnip: im using 8.10 does that matter? [01:28] -Kaliree--the alternate installs are for sophisticated users [01:29] elphias_: http://ubuntu-utah.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=640586 [01:29] elphias_: should be fine [01:29] keres: now try make [01:29] vaxius: i always have to do sudo /etc/init.d/hal restart [01:29] onetineman: same thing [01:29] I am using it because I have a very old Celeron based eMachine that only has a 128MB of ram. [01:29] elphias_: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=989727 for intrepid [01:29] kidbuntu: strange, any errors on the console or in the logs? [01:29] keres: just checking.. i'm thinking [01:29] ActionParsnip: unfortunately you're right, everything that is not kde is either gtk or gnome. The problem is that in gnome (ubuntu) you dont have to install all the gtk libs because they're already there. in kde you have to install everything. It's as if apple all of a sudden gets windows compatible (I mean really compatible so that you could run exe files), you would have to install all the dlls and all kind of stupid stuf [01:29] Even regular Xubuntu is too manly to run well on it. [01:29] What's the easiest way to create a video file which is just a single image with some audio playing in the background? [01:29] gtk == gnome tool kit [01:29] onetinman: http://pastebin.com/m4f91986f [01:29] id say 'advanced user' over 'sophisticated users' that seems a bit harsh ikhider :) [01:30] vaxius: before i'm just double clicking the icon of my harddisk now it wont. someone just gave me that command that made me access my files [01:30] Kaliree--too manly? [01:30] -whassat? [01:30] vaxius: just for the time i log in. [01:30] Anyway. Does anyone have any REAL knowledge on ATI support in Ubuntu 8.10? [01:30] I am trying to put Linux it on for a lady that was running XP on it. (or should I say gasping and choking on it?) [01:30] vaxius: i don't normally use terminal [01:30] Too resource intensive. [01:30] sharperguy: You could always use Cinelerra, it is more advanced for video editing though, so not sure if there is a simpler one for your needs. [01:30] keres: can you DCC send me the Makefile? [01:31] ActionParsnip: I didnt know that, I'm a noob, and Im sorry. but it's still a pain... lol [01:31] k, first could you pastebin the contents of /etc/fstab? [01:31] onetinsoldier: dcc? [01:31] Too manly = too demanding/powerful/impressive, etc. [01:31] AzizLight: you'll learn [01:31] pastebin [01:31] !pastebin [01:31] 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) [01:31] onetinsoldier rides away [01:31] Meshezabeel: hehe [01:31] -Kaliree, install should be easy, use the normal xubuntu install disc and use a hard wire net connection until the wireless is going [01:31] Meshezabeel, I tried pitivi but it doesnt support images, and kino but I can't figure out how to get the ogg to play at the same time [01:31] :) [01:31] if you have a wireless [01:31] :-) [01:31] keres: it's a way to send people file over IRC [01:32] ActionParsnip: now sincerely, will it affect the performance of my system if I install all those gnome/gtk libs? [01:32] why is it that when i try to dual boot ubuntu i do not see the "new partition size" bar in the prepare disk space section? [01:32] onetinsoldier: how? [01:32] vaxius: http://paste.ubuntu.com/84989/ [01:32] Or use linux puppy [01:32] Nope, not in this old jalopy. Just basic cd rom, 20gig HDD, onboard video and ethernet. [01:32] no AzizLight [01:32] AzizLight: not at all [01:32] sharperguy: Cinelerra lets you make videos with both video and audio tracks, you can use an image for one of the video tracks. [01:32] Linux puppy is cute, and it barks when you start it [01:32] It can run off of ram [01:32] AzizLight: its just some stuff firefox needs to be as fat as it is [01:32] Meshezabeel, Ok cheers [01:32] ikhider: you mean Puppy Linux? [01:33] Yeah, puppy linux [01:33] kidbuntu: k, so your other drive is an external hd? [01:33] Napalm scatter brain, too much coffee [01:33] sharperguy: theres damn small linux also [01:33] why is it that when i try to dual boot ubuntu i do not see the "new partition size" bar in the prepare disk space section? [01:33] Yeah, but isn't it a lot less user friendly than Ubuntu & friends? [01:33] ActionParsnip: ok, perfect. Thanks for all the help and the answers [01:33] AZIS, LIGHT [01:33] MUCH BETTER AZIS, THANK YOU [01:33] vaxius: nope.. none of my harddrives are there.. they are all internal [01:33] I couldn't find the install files for DSL. [01:33] If Ubuntu is manly, puppy is not [01:33] !caps | ryxxed [01:33] sharperguy: no problem, let me know if you need some help getting started in it, as it might be tricky if you aren't used to it. [01:33] ryxxed: PLEASE DON'T SHOUT! We can read lowercase too. [01:33] If I can run it, ANYONE can [01:33] ryxxed: it's Aziz not Azis [01:34] it is? [01:34] And it works out of the box [01:34] oh well [01:34] how do i set Opera as default browser in xubuntu? [01:34] Even a 60 year old lady that barely understood XP? [01:34] kaliree: http://damnsmalllinux.org/download.html [01:34] it's one of the best movies ever [01:34] kidbuntu: k, i only see one entry for an internal drive, so we'll have to add one [01:34] keres: is there a list of nicks in the channel in your IRC client? [01:34] But Xubuntu has wayy more features [01:34] why is it that when i try to dual boot ubuntu i do not see the "new partition size" bar in the prepare disk space section? [01:34] But that lady may not want more features [01:34] Blasted. No ATI users here, present? [01:34] ikhider: what do you mean by features? [01:34] kidbuntu: what's the filesystem on this second drive? [01:35] vaxius: but why does the hal restart command fix it.. do we really have to add something on fstab [01:35] I have an ubuntu/developer relation question... [01:35] vaxius: fat [01:35] She may want idiot proof, as a certified idiot, I say use linux puppy [01:35] kaliree: http://ftp.belnet.be/packages/damnsmalllinux/current/dsl-4.4.10.iso [01:35] gbear14275: try #ubuntu-devel after asking here [01:35] That's what I'm looking for. [01:35] onetinman: ok. makefile or makefile.conf? [01:35] Xubuntu can do almost anything Ubuntu can [01:35] can someone guide me through dual booting in ubuntu [01:35] keres: ok, i got it... hang on [01:35] Can Puppy run Open Office, Thunderbird, and Firefox without issues? [01:35] raylu: thanks! i'll make sure to do that [01:35] Yeah, totally [01:35] ikhider: xubuntu is ubuntu, just a lighter DE and WM [01:36] That's all I really need it to do. [01:36] Lookit the screen shots [01:36] kaliree: indeed [01:36] why is it that when i try to dual boot ubuntu i do not see the "new partition size" bar in the prepare disk space section? [01:36] Sweet. [01:36] kidbuntu: i have no idea, but we can try to troubleshoot that first if you want; start by pastebinning /var/log/syslog [01:36] * Panarchy says Hi [01:36] I changed my menu.list to include acpi=off and now my battery meter doesn't report correctly, is there a way to fix that? [01:36] Action, yeah--but there are some differences like highlighting things on yer desktop [01:36] ok [01:36] Ya can't [01:36] Ubuntu is the only dstro I have used (still basically a linux noob), and I played a little with Fedora Core 6. So, thanks for the heads up. [01:37] so looking through and posting on the azureus forums they claim that they don't do support because the ubuntu people modify the code... and I'm pretty sure trying to support every program possibly installed on ubuntu is impossible for the developers... what types of modifications are these the azureus people are claiming and why do the ubuntu people mandate they happen? [01:37] Well I've been working on my ubuntu installation via VMware workstation 6.5.1, on Windows XP. Started with ubuntu alternative CD === redarrow_ is now known as redarrow [01:37] How long is it meant to take?

[01:38] exodus_ms yes i do [01:39] ActionParsnip: well, distribution of the code along with the program shouldn't mean any modification... azureus people are claiming that ubuntu package managers modify the code... are they just talking about removing closed source portions? [01:39] Well thanks ikhider, I'll give it a shot. It would be much more lightweight than Xubuntu anyway. Speed is the reason for the switch. (It literally took her system 5 minutes to respond to a click on the start menu in XP....*shiver*) [01:39] c1rcuit, start with posting a descriptive explanation of the problem you are currently experiencing :) [01:39] hey how are you all?

[01:40] who loves xbox? [01:40] keres: oops.. typo! [01:40] I mean--boot up with the disc [01:40] inside [01:40] keres: i am pretty rusty at this... but try export LDFLAGS="/usr/include/GL" then try make again [01:40] Duh [01:40] Toldya I'm dumb [01:40] !ot > eric__, [01:40] ActionParsnip: thats true... so it really is just a copout in an attempt to not support their program... [01:40] kidbuntu: no red flags there, thinking of another to check [01:40] Sounds great. I tried to burn the ISO yesterday, but it's apparently corrupt. [01:41] ActionParsnip: on ehalf of the azureus people... [01:41] I'll try another dl. [01:41] If she likes it, she can install on the hard drive [01:41] Later. [01:41] gbear14275: id go with that [01:41] vaxius: ok [01:41] gbear14275: i dont like azureus, i think java apps are flakey [01:41] ActionParsnip: unfortunately going with that doesn't get me any help unless they agree to it ;) [01:41] someone enlighten me [01:41] exodus_ms [01:41] er [01:41] catmando_: wassup?

[01:56] onetinsoldier: i still think he needs to find the right packages and let configure set the PKG_CONFIG_PATH [01:56] raylu: Because I want to distribue it, it is a custom build [01:57] Distribute, sorry [01:57] onetinsoldier: then? [01:57] Panarchy: hm. well if networking is not working properly it can have long timeouts. maybe you could switch off networking in the VM for the install and try/fix that later. [01:57] vaxius: and also.. the dev/sda1 is my other ntfs. [01:57] raylu: i hear you.. but i discovered something.. there is no configure script for this source.. only a Makefile [01:57] keres: try make again [01:58] onetinsoldier: same thing :S [01:58] kidbuntu: k, could you give me the output of fdisk -l /dev/sd* so i can see a layout of all your drives? [01:58] onetinsoldier, keres: try autoreconf [01:58] Hey, I'm on the latest ubuntu and installed kubuntu-desktop so I could have KDE. It runs fine, but PAINFULLY slow. Any suggestions, please? [01:58] keres: i give up for now... but i'll keep thinking about it. i will look into downloading the source and seeing if i can get it to compile on my system === Knightlust is now known as Igorot [01:58] autoreconf: `configure.ac' or `configure.in' is required [01:58] alex_21: i'm not sure this is the best place to ask. try http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=51003 or one of the other ubuntu channels (listed in /topic) [01:58] does anyone recall a web based program that allowed (over SSH) a user to configure a server? (Programs, ports etc.) [01:59] raylu: do you know the terminal font in: http://img242.imageshack.us/img242/6594/200812141232131920x1080ig0.png [01:59] ssh [01:59] ?

[01:59] i feel bad for kidbuntu [01:59] TJ13820: ... web -> ssh? er...that just sounds like a horrible idea [01:59] !paste | kidbuntu [01:59] kidbuntu: 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) [01:59] kidbuntu: oops, gave you a crappy command, one sec [01:59] keres: you're welcome... sorry i couldn't get it, yet [01:59] no. [01:59] TJ13820: Webmin? [01:59] YES! [01:59] thank you! [02:00] is anyone else having trouble with HAL for hardware inputs? I've tried to make my own .fdi in etc/hal/fdi/policy/, but even after restarting i'm having no luck :( (I'm trying to disable 3 button simulation) [02:00] TJ13820: no prob [02:00] *hug* xD [02:00] vaxius: heheheh.. thought i just copied a little. [02:00] !webmin | TJ13820 [02:00] TJ13820: webmin is no longer supported in Debian and Ubuntu. It is not compatible with the way that Ubuntu packages handle configuration files, and is likely to cause unexpected issues with your system. See !ebox instead. [02:00] !webmin [02:00] hehe [02:00] How can I remove vmware to start with the system? [02:00] kidbuntu: just "fdisk -l" should work i guess [02:00] vaxius: sudo [02:01] TJ13820: sorry, didn't know that [02:01] i need help, i found something that says it's a fix for the xorg problem on the intel g45 and ubuntu but the "patch" doesn't say how to implement it [02:01] lol, np [02:01] i'll get something to work.

[02:02] raylu: i know :) i have them both in VM's under a BSD for special tasks [02:02] c1rcuit: what's sda5? also, what do you want it to be afterwards? [02:03] kidbuntu: *thats /dev/sd* btw; i can't type today :-( [02:03] vaxius: on terminal nothing happens with "*" [02:03] its just the name i dont want to rename or change it just make room for ubuntu [02:03] kidbuntu: forget sd*, just "sudo fdisk -l" [02:03] raylu [02:03] c1rcuit: i know that. i mean what's on sd5 right now? [02:03] c1rcuit: and what do you want to look like afterwards? also, is sd1 your windows installation? [02:04] *sda5/1 [02:04] sd1 is windows [02:04] i think [02:04] raylu: i didn't know if he'd restarted hal yet, so i don't know if all the partitions will be in /proc/partitions [02:04] vaxius: http://paste.ubuntu.com/84992/ [02:04] :D [02:05] c1rcuit: i'd suggest going to the Places menu at the top left and selecting the drives [02:05] c1rcuit: so that you're sure you know what you're doing after we go into the manual partitioning [02:05] ok [02:05] kidbuntu: k, going to go over your drives with you: [02:06] Hey, I'm on the latest ubuntu and installed kubuntu-desktop so I could have KDE. It runs, but PAINFULLY slow. Any suggestions, please? [02:06] kidbuntu: first one is your windows install? [02:06] vaxius: yes [02:06] x[Mop]x: it may be trying to do #d effects [02:06] if kde is painfully slow for you, you need something like Xubuntu [02:06] Ubuntu runs fine, I'm on 2.4ghz dual core / nvidia 8600. [02:07] x[Mop]x: right click on a title bar-> properties ...and turn off the desktop effects [02:07] kidbuntu: 2nd drive has your linux install and linux swap? [02:07] Before I installed Ubuntu, I had Kubuntu running in VMWare, where, it ran faster. [02:07] With all effects enabled... [02:07] vaxius: yes [02:08] raylu what am i supposed to do in the places menu [02:08] you aren't supposed to use swap on ssd right? [02:08] kidbuntu: 3rd drive...are you using that to share files between windows/linux, and is it the drive you have to restart hal for? [02:08] user01: no.. not a good idea [02:08] c1rcuit: find your drives, click them [02:08] c1rcuit: that will mount them so that you can investigate what's inside [02:08] * raylu brb [02:08] nosrednaekim, thanks . . . do ssd really last longer do you know? [02:08] hey, is it possible to suspend a ubuntu system from the command line? I'm running ubuntu on my EEE and I'm wondering if I switch to boot to console without X can i still suspend? [02:09] kidbuntu: first part of the question doesn't really matter, i guess [02:09] webmin is out, now replaced with ebox [02:09] user01: longer than a hard drive? it would depend on how you you it I would suppose [02:09] vaxius: others are just storage devices i use for windows. and i cant access all the windows harddisk and the rest of the harddisk [02:09] user01: If all you do is read from it, it should last forever [02:09] dmulholland: pm-suspend [02:10] nosrednaekim, oh so it would be better for one time backups then [02:10] nosrednaekim, not really a file server [02:10] thanks zsquareplusc just what I was looking for, does it work well? [02:10] kidbuntu: so you're just concerned with the first two? [02:10] user01: well, its not really "cheap" enough for backups... its usual purpose are low power or small form factor devices [02:11] raylu [02:11] nosrednaekim, like a root directory on a file server [02:11] does anyone else have a problem with pulse audio, occasionally when running playing an avi and having other programs like firefox, my cpu ramps up to 100% (I'm running intrepid 64bit) [02:11] user01: its not really appropriate at all for a desktop or server [02:11] vaxius: yes. actually that is only the problem.. i dont always want to restart hal always everytime i have to login in on my ubuntu [02:11] dmulholland: depends on hardware and whatnot. its the utility that is run then you do suspend from X. does it work there for you? [02:11] i see: sda1 (ntfs) and sda5 (ntfs) [02:11] user01: I suppose, but it doesn't make a whole lot of sense... just put a hard drive in [02:11] Well I've been working on my ubuntu installation via VMware workstation 6.5.1, on Windows XP. Started with ubuntu alternative CD [02:11] How long is it meant to take? [02:12] [configuring apt] - Scanning the mirror - 50% [02:12] dmulholland: and.. you have a Zzz key. pressing that one togther with Fn should also suspend [02:12] zsquareplusc, will try it in a minute, need to finish updating and then ditch X [02:12] Panarchy: you probably don't have a network connection set up... I think you can safely skip that step [02:12] kidbuntu: k, i have enough info to give you a different entry for sdb1 [02:12] HOW [02:12] nosrednaekim, i was thinking of getting like a 8gb ssd do a minimal install for a fileserver [02:12] (caps lock, sorry) [02:13] Panarchy: hmm... not sure in the alternate installer. I know there is a button in the liveCD installer [02:13] nosrednaekim, for the base system not the file [02:13] zsquareplusc, trying to see if I can get my EEE running and doing all the functions i need without X, want a boot that I can get wireless and programming from with max batt life [02:13] keres: ok, i now have the source downloaded with svn [02:13] user01: yeah, that should work fine, but what exactly are looking for in a flash drive of that size that you can't get in a hard drive? [02:13] nosrednaekim: How? [02:13] nosrednaekim, wouldnt it be faster? [02:14] kidbuntu: one more question: where do you want the windows partition to be mounted? [02:14] c1rcuit: hi [02:14] vaxius: /media [02:14] user01: depends on the drive... possibly. but then again, its the root partitioin on a file server, almost anything you will be needing will already be cached in RAM [02:15] nosrednaekim, hmmm [02:15] hey raylu: when i look at the prepare partitions i see sda 1(ntfs) which has 835 and sda5(ntfs) which has 16% [02:15] dmulholland: i'm not sure if a text console really uses less battery than X. at least if you switch off effects and antialised fonts. [02:15] dmulholland: You're not going to get wireless AND good battery life =P [02:15] kidbuntu: that's usually for removable media, but ok, how about /media/windows? [02:15] c1rcuit: again, do you know which partition is which? [02:15] after the upgrade to Intrepid, my audio card's line out only plays the left channel, the right is totally silent. My sound card is an SiS SI7012. What can I do? [02:15] no i dont know how to find them in my places [02:15] also: both channels worked in the previous version [02:15] vaxius: will the fsck after 20 times mounting will fix the problem.. [02:16] dmulholland: Also, if you're not using any effects and use a minimalistic window manager (dwm!), X doesn't need more energy than a pure terminal. [02:16] Panarchy: I'm not sure... I haven't really used the laternate CD in a while, sorry [02:16] sjanssen: did you check the mixer settings? is the balance centered? [02:16] zsquareplusc: I believe so. What is a quick way to check this? [02:16] c1rcuit: do you see hard drive icons labled something like "20gb media"? [02:16] Why aren't delete operations instantaneous? Isn't it just a matter of deleting an entry in a file table? [02:17] c1rcuit: also, please prefix messages to me with my name [02:17] kidbuntu: nope, fsck is for checking/repairing damaged linux filesystems [02:17] raylu: np [02:17] no* [02:17] phantomcircuit: yes. what isn't? [02:17] apo_, I guess that's fair but terminal will give me better boot speed, might just tweak my X then [02:17] Panarchy: http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=4457154&postcount=7 [02:17] dmulholland: Huh? X only needs a second or two to start. [02:17] hola [02:17] sjanssen: double click speaker icon and check the sliders in the dialog that pops up [02:17] nosrednaekim: Oh... [02:17] hi [02:17] raylu, delete operations seem to take longer on larger files, which doesn't make sense to me === tarepanda is now known as srothroc [02:17] vaxius: from my own understanding.. i think there is no specific mount point [02:17] zsquareplusc: in which GUI? Sorry, I'm more of a console person [02:17] phantomcircuit: ext3? [02:17] kidbuntu: try this fstab: http://paste.ubuntu.com/84993/ [02:17] im speak spanish... help me!!!

[02:19] Ah, thanks. [02:19] hey how do i create dvd image and burn it on other dvd's [02:19] kidbuntu: automatically mounting like that makes a directory in /media named after the device and mounts it there [02:19] matt__: that's case insensitive. run it without -exec ... to see what it will delete [02:19] gracias [02:19] por correerme [02:19] jajaja [02:19] salduso [02:19] I've had an eee PC sitting around gathering dust for a few months, so I figured I might as well use it.

[02:19] no media comes up [02:19] vaxius: ok ill try [02:19] kidbuntu: try restarting and tell me if it worked [02:19] zsquareplusc: right, I had to alsamixer -c 0 to get the actual soundcard [02:20] vaxius. ok [02:20] c1rcuit: either open the terminal (applications > terminal) and type "ls /media" or go to places > computer and navigate to /media [02:20] raylu: So if I cd to my music main directory..it'll only look in there, and its subdirectories, correct? [02:20] matt__: right. by default, it looks in . [02:20] how do you move files via shell? [02:20] raylu: lordoftherings and my usb [02:20] lol [02:20] matt__: you can also use "find /foo/bar -name...

[02:28] Hmm, anyone here knowledgable with sed or something similar? i want to filter down some text so it only displays what is between { and } in a pipe [02:29] c1rcuit: you would then have to create two paritions. one as ext3 and one as swap [02:29] raylu t, jst checking, I just got back from outside [02:29] !swap [02:29] swap is used to move unused programs and data out of main memory to make your system faster.

[02:42] Jack_Sparrowm im running Ubuntu 8.10 intrepid [02:42] Ok thanks ;] [02:42] chipsoft you said xubuntu earlier right [02:42] I'm having a problem with synaptic. it only shows installed packages when I search.

[02:42] Vaxius, my last defrag got me 20gb more.

[02:43] raylu, 77GB [02:43] Paralyzed: you must have gigantic hard drive and an extremely fragmented windows partition [02:43] Paralyzed: that's impossible [02:43] jpastore: you probably need to add more repositories...

[02:46] raylu: when i type in alt+ f2 i get a run command thing [02:46] Jack_Sparrow: from his comment on how much space he gained by defragmenting, i'm guessing he's already done that to the windows partition and is thinking that the same will work with ext3 [02:47] vaxius, let me explain my situation, ok, first i went out and bought a disk, i came home and downloaded ubuntu version 8.10 the first button, i burned it onto my disk successfully (i know this from checking files), i restarted my computer and choose boot menu , after that i choose cd-r device, windows started like it normally would, but then i went to my computer and i opened the disk and it had an ubuntu icon which opened, ub [02:47] c1rcuit: right. in there, type gksu gparted [02:47] You can resize ext3 partitions? How o.O?

A quick look on Truecrypts website says it uses it's own bootloader(And I don't know anything about bootloaders) [03:05] raylu: /lastlog Kelen [03:05] Susie: i don't know. maybe ask the channel again. there are other people now :-) [03:05] c1rcuit: sda6 is fine. don't worry about how it chooses to number [03:05] this?

I will see if anyone else has ideas. :) [03:06] Kelen: but without the "raylu: " [03:06] raylu: ok, should i now selsect sda5 and continue [03:06] c1rcuit: i think you need to set the mountpoint of sda6 to swap, though [03:06] '/lastlog' command is EVERY reason to install irssi and drop xchat like a bad habit :) [03:06] random question: How do I have more than four keyboard layouts using that little keyboard layout applet that Ubuntu uses?

It may happen also on ubuntu distro, but as it happened in eee edition we can't tell what went wrong.

[03:37] yes, it just closed out the user, and I am back at the Ubuntu login screen [03:37] I used apt-get source for apt-get source libwebkit-1.0-1" and it returned an unable to find source package error. What is the package name? [03:37] tritium: the "man intel" is Greek to me [03:37] Hello all [03:38] How can I troubleshoot being unable to mount (or even see with fdisk -l) an external USB drive? No error messages in dmesg [03:38] raylu: i am in the following dir... /usr/local/src/netradiant my regualr user cannot write to that dir. and i'm not going to add him to the 'staff' group [03:38] I'm having trouble mounting a smb share [03:38] I have smbfs and cifs installed [03:38] Susie: that's a command you can type [03:38] onetinsoldier: m...you couldn't have checked it out to somewhere else? [03:38] keres: where is this code? [03:38] ray_, do you have the correct video driver? [03:38] raylu: yes, i could have, indeed [03:38] The command I used is //server cifs auto, credentials=/root/.credentials,uid=Cpudan80,user 0 0 [03:39] Cpudan80: that's not a command [03:39] but it says that I didn't include a username or something? [03:39] Cpudan80: uid, not user [03:39] tritium: ok well the line from fstab I should say [03:39] tritium: xorg. it seems that my xubuntu 8.10 install detects savage, but there is a long history of issues(which I'm having) with ubuntu and that driver, with this laptop. i want to force it to use vesa, which will be good enough. how do i do that? [03:39] Cpudan80: that looks like an entry for /etc/fstab [03:39] tritium: I know that. I typed it in and I didn't understand the man file [03:39] raylu: http://www.icculus.org/netradiant/ [03:39] ray_ please don't message privately without asking [03:39] kc8pxy: add a line to your /etc/X11/xorg.conf to use that driver [03:40] ok sorry [03:40] raylu: would it probably work out of the box with 8.4? [03:40] tritium: done that, in the device section. no change. [03:40] raylu: it still comes back with no username specified [03:40] raylu: http://www.icculus.org/netradiant/#What is NetRadiant? [03:40] ray_ you might need to enable a video driver, such as an nvidia restricted driver, if you are using nvidia [03:40] Susie: you'd need to configure your /etc/X11/xorg.conf similar to this: http://en.gentoo-wiki.com/wiki/Intel_GMA#TV-Out [03:40] Cpudan80: er...did you put your uid in? [03:40] Cpudan80: > //computer/shareddrive /media/shareddrive cifs user,uid=####,iocharset=utf8,codepage=unicode,unicode 0 0 [03:40] keres: no idea [03:40] What is ubuntu private v1.0? is it a modified ubuntu? its on www.ziggat.com [03:40] kc8pxy: and you restarted X? [03:40] DIL: yes thats what it says [03:41] DIL: looks like the mount point got cut off when I pasted it -- but that's what I've got [03:41] Cpudan80: mount -a [03:41] DIL: wait ... do you not do cifs auto, credentials=file anymore? [03:41] tritium: I suppose I can try that. Is there any other way to see the changes made to my xorg.conf besides rebooting my computer? That gets tedious after a while. [03:41] I know there are some other issues I have had, like when I tried to use the best graphic setting it messed up my video whee I had to reinstall the whole thing again [03:42] DIL: comes back no username specified in dmesg | tail [03:42] hi, anyone know how to take screenshot during installation of ubuntu distro ? thanks [03:42] Susie: of course there is. Ctrl-Alt-Backspace, for one. [03:42] AceStar: alt+f2, gnome-screenshot [03:42] tritium: rebooted the whole system./ [03:42] tritium: it's weird though [03:43] kc8pxy: then you should inspect /var/log/Xorg.0.log, and find out why it's ignoring your config line === robb_m is now known as the-munster [03:43] tritium: Well, I'll try that, but I may have to restart my computer anyway. From experience, this kind of thing does wonky stuff to my computer and no amount of Ctrl + Alt + F7 can get me back without restarting... [03:43] tritium: it seems it's using my config, and using savage anyway. [03:44] Is there a way to select the proper keyboard layout for an eee pc 701 in Ubuntu? [03:44] I was impressed with Ubuntu, in that it let you run it through the CD to try it out, without having to install it on the computer, like Knoppix, and it game other opinions as well, but there is a lot of things that have to be tweaked to get it to work [03:44] raylu: thanks [03:44] raylu: will try that [03:44] ray_: depends on your hardware [03:44] i have a cunundrum. i just began using ubuntu from xp. ubuntu made new partitions for itself from free space and the two hudred gig of photos and tele and music etc that was the only thing on my sata hard drive called "media" became a folder in "places" called "media" and it stilll contained all my stuff. then i imported the whole contents of "media\music" into rhythmbox and now the music folder is empty (although still the location [03:44] in properties of songs in r.b.) and i cannot find my music any where except in rhythmbox. the properties of the "media" folder say it is still 200 gig large, BUT, when i add up the size of all of the folders, it is 70 gig short of that, the same 70 gig of music that is missing. my music is invisible and it is freaking me out. i know it is still there because i can play it in r.b but i nor a search engine can find it in an explorer [03:44] window. please help. sorry for length [03:44] digitalnorm: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [03:45] is that a question or a bible? [03:45] DIL: ok well I got it to do something else now --- now it just says IO error 5 when I do mount [03:45] yea, I am aware of that, and was impressed that most everything worked on both computers [03:45] ideas? [03:45] ray_, it could be a problem with your video driver then [03:45] tritium: One last question before I try it. When it says Section "Device" [03:45] ... [03:45] Option "Monitor-TV" "TV" [03:45] ... [03:45] EndSection [03:45] Susie: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [03:45] but its not Windows, I can't get HP printer to run, some applications like the media viewer crashes when I go full screen [03:46] Susie: you know better than to paste that much text here [03:46] digitalnorm: doesn't right-clicking on a music file in rhythmbox give you an option to show you where the files are? [03:46] digitalnorm: tried looking for it with locate? [03:46] tritium: Now I do [03:46] yes and they are not there [03:46] ray_, it's the video drivers in linux that you might need to look at [03:46] digitalnorm: at who? [03:46] the properties says media/media/musi [03:46] Problem: ubuntu cd wont start on reboot [03:46] tritium: Didn't realize that would happen and I've never done this before and have no idea what I'm doing [03:46] keres: wow... [03:46] keres: this thing is still compiling... [03:46] Susie: ok, no problem. [03:47] raylu: what version are you on? [03:47] keres: 8.10 [03:47] i have a microsoft moust that works on linux fine but it dosent work on two of my windows computers but it works on another windows computer [03:47] tritium: So...anyway...back to the question? [03:47] I am afraid to play around with the video drivers, because last time I tried I lost all the video [03:47] kc8: the path is the same folder from where i imported the music but now it is empty [03:47] I had to uninstall and reintall it again [03:47] Susie: yes. State it succinctly, please. [03:47] that took an hour or more [03:47] Jack_Sparrow [03:47] jahnkeanater: how is this an ubuntu question? also, uninstall the device in the device manager in windows and plug the mouse back in :D [03:47] raylu: i would like to know what you did to get it to compile :-) [03:47] at least with Windows if you mess up you can run it in Safe Mode and get back to old video settings [03:47] My computer has been overly sluggish for the past few weeks. It might have been the update to Intrepid but I'm not sure. What can I do to find out what's causing this problem? [03:47] onetinsoldier: just what the site said [03:48] its not a ubuntu question at all [03:48] onetinsoldier, keres: also, there are like a billion warnings [03:48] tritium: Well the question was when it tells me to put something in the Input Device section am I supposed to start a new input device section or paste it in the already existing one? === weredragon is now known as Phlogis [03:48] how hard is it repartition a live ubuntu server.. i want make a separate partition for /home dir and move it off of / (root) partition [03:48] raylu: andit found all theheaders with no problem on the fist try? [03:48] first&* [03:48] axisys_: easy, of course. [03:48] onetinsoldier: yep. [03:48] raylu: i'll be damned [03:48] Susie: existing one [03:48] onetinsoldier: i was prepard to fight autoscan/autoreconf to the death [03:48] raylu: i like that answer :-) [03:48] onetinsoldier: but i ran make first and it's compiling [03:49] tritium: okay thank you. If I disappear for a bit, I had to reboot. [03:49] i have tryed uninstalling the drivers and reinstalling them i get an error saying they are installed wrong [03:49] raylu: ok. roger [03:49] Does anyone know how to get an accurate keyboard layout for the eee PC? [03:49] raylu: how do I go by doing it ? [03:49] ray_, do you have an nvidia card? [03:49] raylu: my ubuntu cd wont start the partition section on reboot, what am i doing wrong [03:49] srothroc: #ubuntu-eeepc would know [03:49] ok im baaaack... anyone know how i cam make it so a photomanager opens up automatically when i plug in my camera (rebel XSi/450d) [03:49] raylu: im not sure what bios settings should be [03:49] no I am trying to remember what it is [03:50] axisys_: IIRc, you can't sanely modify mounted partitons. as long as they are not mounted, you are fine. [03:50] how to make lasting block for IP with iptables .? [03:50] ray_ you might want to try running wine from the live cd on that computer and see what happens [03:50] !iptables | Miscc [03:50] I logged onto Ubuntu for the first time and got an error message saying my session lasted less than 10 seconds. What is that? [03:50] Miscc: Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'iptables' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo), or GUI applications such as Firestarter (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE). [03:50] ToddEDM, system, preferences, removable drives and media. [03:50] raylu: the properties in r.b. tell me the files are in the same place they had always been but looking at thatfolder it says contents nothing [03:51] kc8pxy: so how do I repartition? so break /dev/sda1 (60G) to /dev/sda1 (40G) and /dev/sda2 (20G) [03:51] Gnea: Thanks. [03:51] sda2 will then be mounted as /home [03:51] I don't think Wine was on the CD [03:51] axisys_: are they in use?(mounted) [03:51] My computer has been overly sluggish for the past few weeks. It might have been the update to Intrepid but I'm not sure. What can I do to find out what's causing this problem? [03:51] onetinsoldier: http://i34.tinypic.com/2pt3z94.png [03:51] I had to download it after I installed it on the computer [03:51] axisys_: gparted [03:52] keres: do you have the following package installed? libgtkglext1-dev [03:52] Paralyzed: you shouldn't have ot play with your bios [03:52] /home now is part of root .. [03:52] raylu: ok.. let me try that [03:52] raylu: i dont know whats the problem the boot manu opens i clcik IDE Cd-Rom Device [03:52] I see I can install a ATI/AMD Graphic Driver [03:52] raylu: start up happens and i dont see an ubuntu logo nothing happens but normal start [03:52] digitalnorm: where does it say the files are? can you show me the ls output of that directory? [03:52] not sure why a graphic setting would affect Wine [03:52] raylu: nice.. i am going to try and compile here nowl. i was missing one package. [03:52] I tried creating a launcher with the command line gksu "/usr/bin/nautilus --no-desktop", but it doesn't work. What is the prob? [03:52] digitalnorm: and if the files aren't there...what happens when you play them? [03:53] ray__, yes, but you can download wine on the live CD just fine [03:53] raylu, If the computer does not boot from the CD (eg. Windows starts again instead), check your BIOS settings and fix as appropriate. If successfully booted from CD, the Ubuntu logo will be displayed on the screen. Press Enter to continue. [03:53] what it says on dual boot ubuntu page [03:54] Paralyzed: right...but in your case, windows didn't boot [03:54] well I downloaded the iso file for Ubuntu, but I didn't come with Wine [03:54] ray__, see here for a similar case, maybe not the same as you: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=644480 [03:54] I logged into Ubuntu for the first time and got an error message saying my session lasted less than 10 seconds. What is that? It says that might have a problem with the installation or I have few disk space? [03:54] Paralyzed: ubuntu tried to boot, so you don't have to tell the bios to boot from cds before hdds [03:54] onetinsoldier: yes [03:54] tritium: Still nothing and I had to reboot [03:54] raylu, indeed but it just starts normal it doesnt boot the disk [03:54] ray__, no it doesn't come with ubuntu, but in the live cd, you can connect to the internet and use apt/synaptic [03:54] raylu, its suppost to display an ubuntu logo [03:54] Paralyzed: [03:54] Hi, good night... [03:54] Paralyzed: oh. [03:54] Susie: why do you say you had to reboot? [03:55] Paralyzed: so look for a bios setting that controls the order of boot devices [03:55] raylu, so i dont know whats the problem it SHOULD boot [03:55] can I do that with the installed version too? [03:55] Paralyzed: and make sure your cd drive comes before your hard drive [03:55] tritium: After Ctrl + Alt + Backspace everything on my computer disappeared [03:55] raylu, meaning? [03:55] raylu: the tracks play normally although about half of them are now in a tab called "missing files" and they don't play [03:55] raylu: ok, i never tried to get it to compile here.. i was just trying to get it to compile for keres. i checked all the packages listed on the site.. made sure they were installed(i assumed that keres had them all!). and it's compiling for me with on the first try also [03:55] Susie: did you try switching back to X or a virtual console? [03:55] Paralyzed: huh? i meant what i said [03:55] raylu, vax said same exact thing i just dont know what that means [03:55] I need a program to check for wifi networks... [03:55] raylu, how would i do that [03:55] digitalnorm: um...sounds like the files are missing, then [03:56] keres: hello.. you still here? [03:56] raylu, setup utilities or on boot menu? [03:56] Paralyzed: every bios is different [03:56] hey guys for soem reason ubtuntu dosent seem to be ulling dependancies down any mroe [03:56] Paralyzed: setup utilities [03:56] tritium: yeah nothing [03:56] and im confused to hell [03:56] Alrighty then! ext3, now. [03:56] raylu: but all the files that are simply in my library tab play and they are not in the /media/media/music folder thay should be in [03:56] Tefx__: you mean your package manager? [03:56] Could you recomend me one? [03:56] yeh [03:56] raylu, how would i make the cdr come before HD [03:57] i ment apititude [03:57] Tefx__: what are you using? [03:57] raylu, so that it boots [03:57] keres: go back into the source dir.. tell me when you are there [03:57] onetinsoldier: yes [03:57] i just ptu ubuntu for soem reason [03:57] Tefx__: "sudo aptitude install" [03:57] anyone know how to recover a LVM physical disk where the first few blocks have been overwritten ? [03:57] Meshezabeel: how long have you been using Ubuntu? [03:57] onetinsoldier: ok [03:57] its installed [03:57] Tefx__: no, just run [03:57] keres: make clean [03:57] Tefx__: "sudo aptitude install" [03:57] Tefx__: so it cleans up any previous installations [03:57] tritium: It's really weird how unstable my computer can be actually. I can't even start it without using recovery mode. If I just let it turn on as normal my screen goes all wonky. [03:57] btu it said all these depdancies wernt in use at a tiem and they wernt so ti removed them [03:57] raylu, iv tried i just dont know how to switch them around [03:57] ray__: can you do what with the installed version? [03:57] keres: export LDFLAGS="" [03:57] joeb3_: sorry i was away... i dont seem to have 'removable drives and media' in preferences.... would it be something else? [03:57] onetinsoldier: that lists an output, but no actual effect [03:57] Paralyzed: i can't really help you with that. have you gotten into your bios config yet? [03:57] adn now im trygin to install the package that pulled them down last tiem again and it wont pull them with it [03:58] ray__ not sure, probably 2-3 years. [03:58] raylu, affirmative [03:58] onetinsoldier: it's easier to just start a new shell. all the environ variables will be gone [03:58] Paralyzed: then good luck :P [03:58] would it be alright if I asked you some things private chat? [03:58] it lists that one output listing all the derivitives of make clean [03:58] keres: ok.. works for me [03:58] tritium: I've never really had a good graphics card support experience with Ubuntu... [03:58] raylu, wait :P how can i "MOVE" them [03:58] onetinsoldier: ok [03:58] then? [03:58] ToddEDM, running gnome? [03:58] after export LDFLAGS="" [03:58] ray__ sure [03:58] raylu, mean make it first priority? [03:58] thanks [03:58] Susie: which chipset specifically? [03:58] onetinsoldier: i don't really know what the situation looks like [03:58] joeb3_: yeah [03:58] tritium: I believe it is 855GM [03:59] im going to ask a windows question [03:59] onetinsoldier: i will tell you that if you mount all your drives and use [03:59] onetinsoldier: sudo updatedb [03:59] "Your session lasted less than 10 seconds.

But when I try to configure nvtv I get the error "pci library required" [04:05] keres: why don't you try the following... just to make sure, apt-get install --reinstall pkg-config [04:05] Schuenemann: when you create a new user, that's the user's home dir that gets created [04:05] raylu, the forum post says to delete ~/.gnome2 [04:05] anxiolytic: Try opening a terminal and running uptime to start, and see what the loads on your system are [04:05] hey i face problems while playing any videos on firefox...i can't be able to play it [04:05] raylu: you'll see that the size of my combined contents of folder is seventy gigs less than the total size of folder [04:05] Susie: I'd do more reading on the official intel linux drivers website, then [04:05] raylu, the home dir is in a different partition that is the same to my other distros [04:05] idealhavoc: pretty high, load average: 1.29, 1.39, 1.23 [04:05] Schuenemann: ah, that makes sense then [04:06] tritium: The one you gave me earlier? [04:06] Schuenemann: perhaps you don't own all the files in your home dir [04:06] Susie: yes [04:06] raylu, oh... [04:06] Schuenemann: or you don't own your home dir at all (different UIDs) [04:06] anxiolytic: hmm, for a personal system with one cpu that is a bit high. Try running the top command to see if there is any process that is at the top of the default sort [04:06] onetinsoldier: can you do something for me? [04:06] digitalnorm: um...why is something mounted at /media? [04:06] keres: sure [04:06] and raylu [04:07] raylu: i don't know [04:07] can somebody help me please?? [04:07] raylu did u see what i said when u asked wat pacage i was tryign to isntall [04:07] how can i install those fonts?? [04:07] raylu: i am very new to this [04:07] tritium: I don't know. This is all giving me a headache... [04:07] idealhavoc: I've been checking every once in a while. firefox3 and Xorg are always on top for CPU/mem usage [04:07] raylu, I can create a file at ~ [04:07] !ask | helpme [04:07] helpme: 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. :-) [04:07] bahzhang what does this mean noobnoob, apt-cache search rootkit for apps [04:07] idealhavoc: but I didn't have this much of a problem with either of them before switching to intrepid [04:07] helpme woudl help if u said what fonts your talkign about [04:07] Susie: then perhaps consider an nvidia (or ati) card [04:07] Schuenemann: ls -ld /home/$USER ? [04:07] Gnea: i have asked already please do not tell me to ask [04:07] Where should I extract a binary application to? [04:08] actually, nm [04:08] Tefx__: ah, no i didn't. prefix messages to me with raylu please [04:08] Tefx__: as I said earlier, the ms fonts.. [04:08] it would take a long time [04:08] helpme: didn't see it, don't have the time to go through scrollback. [04:08] idealhavoc: would it help if I recompile my kernel w/ SMP off, more optimized for my cpu? right now I'm using stock, 64bit [04:08] tritium: I would but I'm on a laptop, and it's integrated into the mother board. Yay for me. [04:08] Tefx__: show the output of "sudo aptitude install" please [04:08] raylu: meaning the location is /media, neh? and it shouldn't be in theree? [04:08] Soliloquial: /usr/local/bin... or /usr/bin [04:08] hey i face problems while playing any videos on firefox...i can't be able to play it [04:08] raylu, drwx--x--x 27 otto otto 4096 date /home/otto [04:08] tritium: in what section of that website has the docs that you're referring to? [04:08] digitalnorm: normally, you mount stuff inside /media. like /media/sda1 or something [04:09] anxiolytic: I don't think that would help too much. What is the cpu usage percentage? It is possible that it is having disk problems or something, driving the load up [04:09] Gnea: there's a link. If you look, you'll find them. [04:09] Schuenemann: hm, dunno then [04:09] raylu: it is mounted in there like this: /media/media [04:09] digitalnorm: oh... [04:09] tritium: that really doesn't help the situation at all. [04:09] Gnea: documents generally help [04:09] raylu: before i used ubuntu it was just the name of my harddrive: mediaq and so that is what ubuntu named the folder [04:10] hi. Can OSX read/write EXT3 ? [04:10] can somebody help me please?? [04:10] raylu:*media [04:10] tritium: even better when they're official ubuntu documents, too. i think you can do a bit better than that. [04:10] how can I purge and reinstall msttcorefonts?? [04:10] !helpme [04:10] Avoid your questions being followed by a trail of "Please, help me", "Can nobody help me?", "I really need this!", and so on. This just contributes to making the channel unreadable. If you are not answered, ask again later; but see also !repeat and !patience [04:10] !fonts | helpme [04:10] helpme: Font installation basics here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FontInstallHowto - No fonts in Flash? Install "msttcorefonts" (from !Multiverse), "gsfonts", and "gsfonts-x11". No fonts in MPlayer? see !MPlayer [04:10] raylu: but did you see the discrepency in the total size and the sum of the parts? [04:10] bazhang: thats not that I asked [04:10] how can I purge and reinstall msttcorefonts?? [04:11] helpme: read above [04:11] digitalnorm: yes [04:11] iraylu: it is the 70 gigs i am missing. they are hidden or some thing [04:11] raylu, I deleted that dir and it worked [04:11] tritium: Do you know anything about my ./configure error I mentioned just a couple minutes ago? [04:11] digitalnorm: i suggest unmounting it and using fsck [04:11] something like "sudo apt-get remove -purge msttcorefonts" [04:11] Schuenemann: congrats [04:11] helpme, go into package manager and remove completely then reinstall them. easy. [04:11] bye [04:11] Susie: I didn't see it. What are you compiling? [04:11] quit [04:11] exit [04:11] alex_: --purge [04:11] thats not what I asked [04:11] OMG How to exit. [04:11] raylu, thanks for your ghelp [04:11] anyone use OSx with EXT3 ? [04:11] Soliloquial: normally you'd put it in /usr/local/bin ...leave /usr/bin for unbuntu .deb packages [04:12] litlebuda: try those with / [04:12] sigh. [04:12] raylu: is there some literature i cn find to tell a newbie what fsck is and how to use it? [04:12] keres: so what's up? [04:12] tritium: This is what I said earlier: I found something that might work here http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=40865&highlight=855+drivers&page=2 look at the bold post by Vertical. But when I try to configure nvtv I get the error "pci library required" [04:12] Gnea: there are no official ubunto docs for Intel tv-out [04:12] ubuntu* [04:12] alex_, you mean using osx to read a shared folder/partition that has ext3? [04:12] helpme: you have 2 choices, really: 1) adjust your attitude and be flexible, or b) google it for yourself. no one enjoys being talked down to like that and it won't be tolerated. [04:12] hey guys i got a question about my boot up error i'm having on ubuntu 8.10 [04:12] digitalnorm: do you know the name of your device? (should start with /dev/) [04:12] digitalnorm: and have you unmounted media yet? [04:12] onetinsoldier: it seems i have libglib2.0-dev, but when i try make it says it can't find it [04:12] keres: start a new shell [04:12] Gnea: im just asking a simple question, theres no attitude here.. [04:12] onetinsoldier: so i reinstallled it with aptitude, same thing [04:13] helpme, your question is about purging and reinstalling fonts correct? [04:13] bazhang: yes [04:13] raylu: shell? [04:13] keres: are you using gnome-terminal? [04:13] the error is " unsupported cap regs version 7 " [04:13] helpme, then take the suggestions given [04:13] raylu: yes [04:13] helpme: when you say "that's not what i asked." is a really piss-poor attitude to the help that people are trying to give you. [04:13] Susie: again, what are you compiling? nvtv is in the ubuntu repos, so hopefully not taht [04:13] keres: ok, ctrl+shift+t [04:13] bazhang: none of them told me how to purge [04:13] bazhang: mounting a partition which is ext3 from OSX [04:13] keres: that should clear your environment variables [04:13] helpme, I just told you [04:13] is anyone else having this problem? [04:13] keres: you can ctrl+d in the old shell [04:13] o ok [04:13] idealhavoc: right now 99% - system monitor 50% and xorg 50%.. xorg always takes around 50% [04:14] bazhang: thats not what I asked [04:14] that's a shell? [04:14] i want to purge them [04:14] alex_, sounds like an apple question [04:14] that makes sense [04:14] tritium: Yes, I'm compiling nvtv, because I had to apply a patch to it for my graphics card. I'm aware of the fact that it's in the repos [04:14] keres: that's both a new shell and a new terminal :D [04:14] helpme then please clarify your question thanks [04:14] Hi. I am running Ubuntu 8.04. When I connect a second monitor to my VGA port, and restart Xorg, My 2nd monitor shows 1024x768, but stays black. So does the primary monitor on the laptop. Any thoughts? [04:14] helpme: I did ... use this: "sudo apt-get remove --purge msttcorefonts" [04:14] raylu: keres started up a new shell. that would also get rid of the environ variables wouldn't it? [04:14] Susie: what is the error you get? [04:14] raylu: ok [04:14] raylu: /dev/sdb and howto unmount? [04:14] Alrighty now, then. Does anyone here use an ATI X1600 Pro or similar X1x00 series ATI video card in Ubuntu? [04:14] "error: pci library required" [04:14] bazhang: theres no need to clarify I asked it exactly as I should [04:14] If I disconnect the second video and reboot, all is well. sis 760. [04:14] alex_: thank you so much :) [04:14] bazhang: yeah ... better find some apple folks then eh... [04:14] tritium: "error: pci library required" [04:14] helpme, then you wont get any help here [04:15] anxiolytic: Wow, anything in the xorg error logs? /var/log/Xorg.0.log [04:15] digitalnorm: sudo umount /dev/sdb1 [04:15] onetinman: Checking for glib/gutils.h (libglib2.0-dev)... not found, please install it or set PKG_CONFIG_PATH right! [04:15] onetinsoldier: yep [04:15] raylu: figgered out unmount but is says an app wont let me [04:15] I have installed new network card but it is not working, it is showing in ifconfig [04:15] idealhavoc: I have desktop effects off. Oddly enough, I had them on with hardy and it was blazing fast. [04:15] alex_, there is an apple / macos channel on freenode you know [04:15] onetinsoldier: that was the point, actually [04:15] halpme: it was answered above tough =) with two different methds! [04:15] digitalnorm: close rhythmbox, other terminals, nautilus, etc. [04:15] bazhang: do you know what it is? [04:15] xrandr does not help with sis chipsets, right? [04:16] it is showing as eth1 and eth1:avahi [04:16] onetinsoldier: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it? [04:16] raylu: okay, unmounted [04:16] idealhavoc: nothing in Xorg log, latest entry was on dec 8th .. (I don't shutdown) [04:16] alex_: i asked how to purge and nobody said that until now when you did [04:16] digitalnorm: now, fsck /dev/sdb [04:16] digitalnorm: or fsck /dev/sdb1 [04:16] onetinman: should i reboot? [04:16] helpme: if you're unwilling to accept the advice you've been given, then perhaps ubuntu is not something you need. [04:16] hey i face problems while playing any videos on firefox...i can't be able to play it [04:16] digitalnorm: i'm not sure [04:16] Still no ATI users present? [04:16] raylu: is that in terminal? [04:16] raylu: roger.. keres insists that all the packages listed on the site are installed.. but is still getting missing error messages Checking for glib/gutils.h (libglib2.0-dev)... not found [04:16] how to fix eth1 [04:16] digitalnorm: yes [04:17] DarkKnight: What type of videos, flash videos, mp4, wmv, ogg theora? [04:17] Gnea: i was given incorrect information; my question was not answered until now by alex_ [04:17] =) yeah they did. One suggested synaptic "completely remove" (means purge) [04:17] alex_, ##apple might be it [04:17] !ati | Psi-Jack [04:17] Psi-Jack: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [04:17] raylu, no dice [04:17] keres: you have apt-get or aptitude, or synaptic running somewhere else apparently [04:17] ok [04:17] onetinsoldier: really? [04:17] raylu: i want to do that to the device where missing files are right? [04:17] onetinsoldier: i think now's a good time to go one step farther than svn revert and just remove and recheckout the source [04:17] helpme: still, your attitude is off-key. please adjust it. thanks. [04:17] digitalnorm: yes [04:17] Gnea: Yeah, not very helpful, trust me. Hence why I'm looking for people that actually HAVE experience. [04:17] Gnea: adjust yours, thanks. [04:17] can anyone help me with my xbox controller? I hacked a usb cable on it... when I plug it in the joystick works but when I calibrate it the buttons aren't recognized as being pressed [04:18] helpme, please stop [04:18] helpme: cool it [04:18] Psi-Jack: i've used ATI before, what do you need? [04:18] rustybox: i assume you've tried xev? [04:18] raylu: roger. keres did you see what raylu said? you might just want to remove the source dir and re-download it [04:18] Gnea: ATI's had a lot of past issues with Linux driver support. I hear most of it's been fixed, but I'm trying to find the best options for setting up my card specifically with the best performance and least instabilities. [04:18] idealhavoc; its flash videos....and many other videos from youtube..... i m able to play them...but the problem lies when i want to play a part again...and i use the scroll to scroll back...then the video gets stuck [04:18] omg [04:18] raylu: denied me permission [04:18] raylu, no, i just joystick to test it out [04:18] tritium: If you have no ideas about that, I'm going to give up for tonight and try again tomorrow... [04:18] Susie: ok [04:18] raylu, what's xev? [04:18] dika [04:19] raylu: need r/w access? [04:19] rustybox: a somewhat raw handling of X input [04:19] Psi-Jack: it's actually getting better, slowly but surely. which card do you have? [04:19] digitalnorm: sudo [04:19] Gnea: It's the X1600 Pro. [04:19] onetinsoldier: http://pastebin.com/m774749d5 [04:19] DarkKnight: Hmm, well, a flash issue, this is why I love closed-source plugins... hmmm [04:19] tritium: Thanks for your help. :-) [04:19] I need help ubuntu wont run for partioning [04:19] Susie: good luck [04:19] idealhavoc; so wats the solution [04:19] DarkKnight: Do other flash sites work for you? [04:19] raylu: type sudo first? (you have great patience) [04:19] idealhavoc....ya it works.... [04:19] Java doesn't work in my browser. It just leaves a grey box and says "applet not initialized". Can somebody help me? [04:19] DarkKnight: I would try re-installing the flash plugin [04:20] digitalnorm: yes [04:20] idealhavoc; okk [04:20] digitalnorm: All in one line 'sudo fsck /dev/sdb1' [04:20] raylu, how do I know if it's detecting button presses? [04:20] Gnea: I'm running Ubuntu 8.10 specifically, and currently using Ubuntu 8.10's 'restricted' version of the driver, but before I'd tried to use the official drivers from ATI/AMD, version 8.12, but had some major troubles after a couple restarts of X. One I could not recover except by rolling back to xorg 7.4's native slower driver. [04:20] keres: i don't know what's wrong on your system. compiled for me and raylu just fine.. on the first try. i don't know what to tell you. [04:20] what does unsupported cap regs version 7 mean? [04:20] onetinman: any idea? [04:20] rustybox: stuff should show up. like when you type something [04:20] rustybox: (on the keyboard) [04:20] onetinsoldeier, i mean [04:20] how do I avoid a new chat windows from poping up on top of my current window? i am using intrepid with compiz [04:20] rustybox: er, i forgot to mention run it in a termianl [04:20] andresmh: quit Pidgin [04:20] onetinsoldier: should i just install 8.4 regardless? [04:21] raylu, stroyan: apparently i failed to unmount properly just a sec [04:21] most of my apps work better in 8.4 anyway [04:21] RyanPrior, any alternative to pidgin you recommend? [04:21] raylu, it doesn't register button presses, but the joystick on the controller is working [04:21] Psi-Jack: what sort of issues are you running into with the new restricted driver? [04:21] rustybox: hm. well, the problem doesn't lie between X and whatever app you're using [04:21] keres: i cannot recommend one way or the other on that, because that's entirely up to you [04:22] raylu, damn, my soldering looks pretty decent, i don't see any breaks [04:22] andresmh: there are pidgin options to stop that. look around in the preferences [04:22] rustybox: well, it could be that X wasn't configured properly [04:22] 'any help with network card [04:22] digitalnorm: If you have the lsof package installed you can check what processes are using a mount point with lsof- 'sudo lsof /media' [04:22] Gnea: Well, presently, defacto install of the restricted version of the driver, none, But, I wanted to know more specifically, what Option flags I can use in xorg.conf for my card to get reasonable performance and support, for example, Second Life reasonably well, before I started getting into aticonfig --initial -f. ;) [04:22] keres: 8.10 is working great here.. did you upgrade frmo 8.4? is that how you got 8.10? an upgrade? [04:22] from* [04:22] raylu, what do you think i should do? [04:22] I tried creating a launcher with the command line gksu "/usr/bin/nautilus --no-desktop", but it doesn't work. What is the prob? [04:23] andresmh: Gnome's official client is Empathy [04:23] andresmh: I haven't used it much though, couldn't tell you whether it would solve your problem. [04:23] rustybox: i have 0 experience with what you're trying to do :P. but i'd look into messing with your xorg.conf [04:23] cairo: define "doesn't work" [04:23] raylu, thanks for your help [04:23] digitalnorm: Stopping processes that are using a mount point is necessary before unmounting. (Or you could use cd for a shell process that has a current working directory on a mount point.) [04:24] hi [04:24] !hi | newbuntu [04:24] newbuntu: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! [04:24] stroyan: this is nearly over my head so .. . i be trying though [04:24] digitalnorm, stroyan: i feel it'd be easier to just logout and log back in [04:25] Hey guys how can i change partition numbers?I mean: currently i have disk partitioned in this way [ sda1 sda2 sda4 sda5 sda6 sda7 sda8 ] How can i change it in [ sda1 sda2 sda3 sda4 sda5 sda6 sda7 ]? Thanks [04:25] raylu: dig [04:25] Psi-Jack: aaah, okay. i'm not familiar with aticonfig, so my experience with it at that level isn't quite the same. :) [04:25] digitalnorm: One common cause for more space in use on a mount point than 'contents' or 'du' shows is when a process is holding open a file that has been 'removed'. In that case just stopping that process could release the missing space. [04:25] Gnea: Before I used options from http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=849422 post #5, and it worked, to a point.. I had problems with windows overlapping Second Life, which is an OpenGL rendering viewer, would flicker to death. [04:25] speps: You probably do not want to do that. [04:25] stroyan: (s)he's gone [04:25] i have issues with my pulseaudio. apparently everytime i boot up at the login screen there is the sound of the typical ubuntu drum echoing but then there is no sound [04:25] raylu, my xorg.conf says that the joystick is being called a mouse0, could that be the problem? [04:26] rustybox: it ...could. but i have no idea [04:26] speps: parts of your system may rely on the devices on your computer always being named the same. [04:26] Gnea: Heh, what'd you end up doing for your setup, personally? Just used the restricted drivers as-is no tuning at all? [04:26] appreciate it if anyone could point me to the right direction [04:26] rustybox: there is an X support channel on freenode...somewhere [04:26] raylu, i'll look [04:26] newbuntu: I personally have never got pulseaudio working correctly, so I've disabled it. [04:26] RyanPrior: what does it mean? I have done the wrong question? [04:26] newbuntu: It's really a shame that it's included by default in Ubuntu at all - it's alpha-quality software. [04:26] how do i disable it RyanPrior [04:27] any idea why firefox is super slow for me right now? [04:27] my ubuntu is having title bar glitches. any program with a title bar glitches when I mouse over it. I don't know what to do can someone try and help me fix it? [04:27] RyanPrior: audio support is kinda bleh. but there's not really a better alternative [04:27] raylu: ALSA is much better. [04:27] opera is full speed [04:27] newbuntu: first, go to System -> Preferences -> Sessions [04:27] RyanPrior: alsa sits on op of pulseaudio [04:27] RyanPrior: *top [04:27] Psi-Jack: well, I was using a series that doesn't rely on fglrx, just the standard ati driver, so I didn't have to worry about a lot of these things - but I did notice, when 8.04 came out, that support for it increased and it worked a lot more readily. with 8.10, it's working great. [04:28] newbuntu: and un-check the box next to "PulseAudio Session Management" [04:28] raylu: Yes, sits on top of it and blocks it. [04:28] RyanPrior: heh [04:28] hello [04:28] RyanPrior, ok done that . anything else i should do ? [04:28] newbuntu: yes [04:28] newbuntu: Next, go to System -> Preferences -> Sound [04:29] why doesn't backspace work in FF in linux? in windows backspaces goes Back 1 page [04:29] newbuntu: and in "Devices", select "ALSA" for each entry. [04:29] Hello everyone. I tried to backup my file system using tar. But so far I can't redirect the output of tar command to a file. How should I do it [04:29] pulseaudio is a joke, how did it ever end up in Ubuntu anyways? [04:29] Psi-Jack: as for the options present in that post, it sounds like aticonfig can make it or break it - if i were you, i'd keep backups of every xorg.conf that worked successfully. [04:29] eseven73: it apparantly works well on a few systems. [04:29] :/ [04:29] eseven73: because It Can Do Cool Things! [04:29] stroyan: howto adjust screen resolution in terminal? [04:29] Gnea: Oh believe me, aticonfig kinda does that for you.

[05:18] raylu: i have no idea what it the hell i am doing. i guess my question is how do we account for the discrepency between the size of /media/media and the sum of all of its folders, as in the screenshot i showed you. because if i can find out why those 70 gigs are invisible, i can find my music [05:18] ok, assuming that's normal [05:18] Szeraax: what are you talking about? the conference thngs are just messages from freenode really [05:18] I know [05:18] digitalnorm: you run fsck on them. what happened when you fsck-ed it? [05:18] most channels only enable conference mode when there is somethign happening [05:19] How do I redirect my printer to my new wireless connection? [05:19] like a keynote about World of Warcraft or as a linux conference [05:19] raylu: how do i know which device to fsck? [05:19] don't worry about it [05:19] anywho [05:19] I know this is off topic, but has anyone here had a Razer mouse and had trouble with the mouse buttons not clicking very well? I haven't found anything on Razer.com or google, though I am trying again as I speak. [05:19] digitalnorm: "sudo fdisk -l" may give some insight. also, df -h [05:19] Szeraax: sounds like a dirty mouse [05:19] en que canal se habla español? [05:20] kitche: i recall once seeing something talking about getting the buttons ot be just like new [05:20] !es jenpoj [05:20] Sorry, I don't know anything about es jenpoj [05:20] but i dont remember the process === FrozenFire_ is now known as FrozenFire [05:20] !es | jenpoj [05:20] jenpoj: En la mayoría de canales Ubuntu se comunica en inglés. Para ayuda en Español, por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es o #kubuntu-es. [05:20] raylu: [05:20] in Session Preferences how do I assure the order in which the startup programs are started? [05:20] raylu: three dev sda 1, 5, and 6 [05:21] Would SOMEBODY give me a hand with installing FF 3.1b2? [05:21] raylu: then sb1,2 and 5 [05:21] digitalnorm: right, but you're going to have to figure out which one is the one that had that discrepancy [05:21] Who can do me a favor?Tell me how to install Matlab? [05:22] anyone else have this system-tools-backend probably after the last update? [05:22] What is Matlab? [05:22] raylu: sda1 or 5 [05:22] zex: can you not do it the normal way? [05:22] alex_21: matrix thingy. lots of scientific tools, popular in research labs [05:22] digitalnorm: the easiest way is to guess by size. also "mount" will help [05:23] alex_21: not free (in either sense) software [05:23] im having an issue, i tried installing Compvix, couldnt get it working and now when i try to change my screen resolution i get xorg error [05:23] raylu: sda1 is "system w95 ext'd (lba) and sda5 is "system hpfs/ntfs" so i guesss it is that one [05:24] raylu: the data i am talking about is from my win days so it is probably the ntfs partition [05:24] GodfatherofEire: hello. what is FF 3.1b2? [05:24] Szeraax: I have downloaded a .iso file of Matalb,but don't know how to install it [05:24] digitalnorm: linux fsck won't like an NTFS filesystem. [05:24] onetinsoldier: Firefox version 3.1 beta 2 [05:25] raylu: well shit [05:25] why does the jdk need to install a bunch of random fonts? [05:25] GodfatherofEire: where have you downloaded it from? [05:25] digitalnorm: you could just mount it to see what's inside [05:25] zex: see the help.ubuntu.com/community page on matlab, but consider scilab or gnu octave as Free alternatives [05:25] GodfatherofEire: oh. what trouble are you having installingit? [05:25] Soliloquial: because those are the fonts java requires [05:25] onetinsoldier: When I go and open the executable file, it opens 3.0.4, not 3.1 [05:25] ./jrib [05:25] raylu: "sudo mount /dev/sda5" ? [05:25] ziroday: from Mozilla.org [05:26] how can i find out what version of ubuntu im currently running so i can edit my grub to properly reflect it? [05:26] why do we still use java? -_- [05:26] digitalnorm: not quite. you need to specify a mount point. try the Places menu [05:26] Thank you.I will have a try [05:26] GodfatherofEire: in what package? [05:26] ziroday: tar.bz2 [05:26] Soliloquial: because we do. [05:26] GodfatherofEire: ok, how did you install it? what method, name of file, ect [05:26] Soliloquial: because if we can stop bad programmers from writing bad code... oh wait. [05:26] . [05:26] GodfatherofEire: okay then you have to compile it. Why do you want to run firefox 3.1? [05:26] onetinsoldier: tried extraction, havin trouble with dpkg, cant remember how to install a tar.bz2 [05:27] !compile > GodfatherofEire [05:27] GodfatherofEire, please see my private message [05:27] GodfatherofEire: tar xjf filename.tar.bz2 [05:27] GodfatherofEire: you may also want to see !latest [05:27] My Interpid randomly refrains from waking from a sleep. I have Lenovo Y410. When I press the power button to come back from sleep, the computer appear to startup but nothing comes on the screen, no cursor, no dialog, nothing. ctrl+alt+f1 no change. I HAVE TO HARD BOOT. makin the sleep feature EXTREMELY unreliable.. Syslog doesnot show nything. I looked up forums, there are other no wakeup issues where they see a cursor or other cases, but not this one.. [05:27] Help! How to deal with this "err:module:import_dll Library NDIS.SYS (which is needed by L"C:\\windows\\system32\\drivers\\NPF.sys") not found"?? [05:27] can any one help [05:27] GodfatherofEire: and what directory did you extract it to? [05:27] did any on else have this issue [05:27] leewings: where are you seeing this error? [05:28] onetinsoldier: Desktop, home, /opt, tried all of em, nothin yet [05:28] fwaokda: I think the /etc/debian_version has it in there [05:28] ziroday: when I am using wine.. the program die and the terminal shows this. [05:28] GodfatherofEire: did you see the pm that ubottu gave you... [05:28] leewings: okay, what program? [05:28] ziroday: there are some extensions that I would like to test in 3.1 that are not available in 3.0.4, and I'm getting to it [05:28] leewings: are you running with wine [05:28] idealhavoc, thanks i'll look [05:29] GodfatherofEire: oh man.. firefox files are going to be all over the place it sounds like. did it make any subdirectories after unpacking it? [05:29] ziroday: yeah.. "wine p2pover.exe" [05:29] GodfatherofEire: okay, well you need to read that on how to compile firefox 3.1, however it will not be easy. Probably better if you can find a pre-compiled package somewhere else. [05:29] idealhavoc, that file only contains this "lenny/sid" [05:29] !java [05:29] To install a Java runtime/interpreter on Ubuntu, look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java - For the Sun Java runtime install sun-java6-jre from the !Multiverse repository [05:30] raylu: from places i can open the /media/media and see all the contents. however, the /media/media/music folder is empty, although i never emptied it, i jus timported the paths into rhythm box [05:30] IndyGunFreak: I tried the USB drive; it worked up to the login, when I let it automatically login with the "ubuntu" username... then I got a tan screen for a long time, and now a black screen. [05:30] ziroday: I'll be fine, it might take me a while, but better to learn than be ignorant of it caus there arent always gonna be pre-compiled packages [05:30] digitalnorm: now, use "mount" to see which device it is [05:30] fwaokda: Try cat /etc/issue [05:30] leewings: ask in #winehq [05:30] raylu: where is mount? [05:30] onetinsoldier: no, I tried in those places, and it didnt work, I didnt have to do it in all 3 though, I was following different instructions/leads, none of which worked [05:30] fwaokda: Sorry, debian_version is for the debian version, not the ubuntu version [05:30] digitalnorm: er, just run it in a terminal [05:30] ziroday: ooops.... I C... thx :-) === jlb is now known as _jlb [05:31] have an ubuntu 8.04 installation which has become extremely slow can someone help me speed it back up [05:31] GodfatherofEire: okay, well the factoid that ubottu has sent to you gives you all the necessary information. [05:31] HELLOO [05:31] thanks ziroday [05:31] GodfatherofEire: did you download a source package? i take you never got the .tar.bz2 to unpack then if it didn't make any subdirs... [05:31] idealhavoc, ok that tells me it's 8.10 . what about what is after 8.10 ? [05:31] is it possible to get openjre to run as a browser plugin, or do I need sun for that? [05:31] idealhavoc, excuse me I mean like whats the kernel version also [05:32] onetinsoldier, no I got the tar.bz2 file, and it did make subdirs, I just dont know where to organize them. [05:32] Soliloquial: icedtea [05:32] leewings: um... [05:32] fwaokda: kernel version can be found by running uname -a [05:32] raylu: i typed mount in the terminal and that showed me a bunch of text i don't understand [05:32] Soliloquial: I believe it is icedtea6-plugin [05:32] ok thanks [05:32] leewings, ziroday: wouldn't it be easier to just find NDIS.sys? [05:32] hi all [05:32] digitalnorm: find /media/media, look for the /dev/ associated with it [05:33] i am a ubuntu newbie [05:33] raylu: because that won't be the only thing he needs. [05:33] hi please help my friend has deleted a file of windows xp from ubuntu i am able to redo the same files because i am unable to start the windows xp and it prompts NTLDR file missing [05:33] i think i am not logged in as the admin [05:33] GodfatherofEire: well, if it's a source tarball then i would think there is one main dir that the source is contained in. you go into it and start the process of compiling it [05:33] ziroday: then we'll deal with the next one :D [05:33] how do u log in as admin when linux starts [05:33] ? [05:33] raylu: /dev/sda5 on /media/media type fuseblk [05:33] If my printer is connected to a smb ://NETWORK but my Ubuntu networks wirelessly, do I set my printer up as ipp:// ?? [05:33] !root | analogue__ [05:33] thanks onetinsoldier, I'll give that a shot then [05:33] analogue__: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [05:33] GodfatherofEire: do you see a file named "configure"? [05:33] !sudo | analogue__ [05:33] analogue__: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (Gnome, XFCE), or !kdesudo (KDE) [05:33] raylu, nope [05:34] analogue__: Use the recovery option of grub. [05:34] digitalnorm: ok, so sda5 was correct [05:34] GodfatherofEire: and, again, if it's a source tarball you don't worry about the subdirs that are inside the main source dir [05:34] hi, are there no updates available at the ubuntu main repo for the past 2 weeks? [05:34] hi please help my friend has deleted a file of windows xp from ubuntu am able to redo the same files? because i am unable to start the windows xp and it prompts NTLDR file missing [05:34] raylu: that is the ntfs unfortunatly [05:34] GodfatherofEire: really? it should be there... === hakr is now known as h[a]kr [05:34] analogue__: Grub should have two entries -- one which you usually boot, and one which has (recovery) or maybe (single user) on the end [05:34] thanks [05:34] digitalnorm: er...so? [05:34] analogue_: on ubuntu, you dont have the option of logging in as "admin" at startup, you use the "sudo" command to give yourself admin priveleges when necessary [05:34] analogue__: in ubuntu you cannot login as administrator [05:34] Or would my printer still be smb://NETWORK [05:34] raylu: lol i thought that taht was no good with fsck [05:34] raylu onetinsoldier, sorry bout that, not a source tarball [05:34] digitalnorm: ah, right. you don't happen to have a windows install handy, do you? [05:34] GodfatherofEire: oh! it's binary tarball? [05:35] raylu: maybe left over from an old oink download [05:35] onetinsoldier, I guess, seeing as how there are executables there with binary executables, yes === single_b is now known as cE [05:35] digitalnorm: er, why do you have ntfs partitions, then? [05:35] How do I check that Samba is installed and running? How do I find my active Samba config file [05:35] how do I find what version of libv4l i have? [05:35] Where is the resulation tool in xubuntu? [05:35] !version | andresmh [05:35] andresmh: To find out what version of Ubuntu you have, type « lsb_release -a » in a !shell - To know the available version of a package, « apt-cache policy » [05:36] andresmh: apt-cache policy [05:36] andresmh: Ugh, that wasn't really helpful. [05:36] okay that helps in terminal to type sudo first, but how can i do things like rename and move files in the regular desktop environment without using terminal? [05:36] Fezzler: run ps aux and check to see if smdb and nmdb ar running [05:36] andresmh: dpkg -l [05:36] GodfatherofEire: well source dirs can have excecutable files in them. anyway. what happens if you go in there and try ./firefox ? [05:36] Is there a resulation tool in linux?? [05:36] analogue__: you shouldn't need to do that to anything outside your HOME [05:36] raylu: i switched from xp to ubuntu without knowing what i was doing and i still don't know but i wanted to keep all of my media from my windows days and use it in ubuntu [05:36] arrenlex: um, the last bit was useful, it explains how [05:36] please guys anyone help me hi please help my friend has deleted a file of windows xp from ubuntu i am able to redo the same files because i am unable to start the windows xp and it prompts NTLDR file missing [05:37] Fezzler: your config file should be called smb.conf I think, it might be under /etc/samba/ [05:37] analogue__: You can launch nautilus (the file manager) with root permissions temporarily --- gksu nautilus [05:37] arrenlex, i get No packages found matching libv4l. [05:37] MarthaStewart_: is it really you? [05:37] andresmh: Then you don't have it installed as a debian package. [05:37] raylu: so i just jumped in head first and installed ubuntu and since then i have never used windows and don't believe i have the option to now [05:37] onetinsoldier, it does open up firefox, just not 3.1 [05:37] Can somone help me extend my desktop to another monter in Xubuntu?? [05:37] it says i do not have permission to rename drives, or copy and move files etc [05:37] ziroday: Wasn't what he was asking for. That command shows the most recent version available, but he was asking for which one he had installed. [05:37] whereis libv4l returns libv4l: /usr/lib/libv4l /usr/local/lib/libv4l1.so /usr/local/lib/libv4l2.so /usr/local/lib/libv4l [05:37] so i do have it [05:37] arrenlex: that's a different issue. What filesystem? [05:37] digitalnorm: hrm =\. it would have been nice to convert your partitions away from ntfs. but anyway... [05:37] andresmh: Ah, you installed it manually. [05:38] analogue__: that's a different issue. What filesystem? [05:38] Meshezabeel: smbd<---? [05:38] raylu: i am just very ignorant right now [05:38] !who | analogue__ [05:38] analogue__: 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 :) [05:38] digitalnorm: it'd be nice if you could get your hands on fdisk from a windows recovery cd or similar [05:38] hello? is anyone there? [05:38] FAT 32 [05:38] raylu: i am trying to figger it all out [05:38] digitalnorm: alternatively, you can try "sudo updatedb" and "locate filename" as i said before [05:38] i had it already before i installed it manually, but i am not certain if it's using the version i installed manually (the newest one) or the one that comes from ubunutu repo [05:39] !vfatanalogue__ > [05:39] Appi: Put in a Windows disc, and select Repair your Windows installation from there. [05:39] !vfat > analogue__ [05:39] analogue__, please see my private message [05:39] how can I know what version of libv4l my apps would be using? [05:39] Fezzler: ah yeah, that's it ;) [05:39] how do I make the link full duplex? line 517 in my dmesg shows it is half duplex [05:39] I ran clamav on my windows partition from ubuntu. It caught some viruses that I suspected being there (some kind of rootkit thing and a couple others) I was wondering is there anything else I should run/try before starting back up the windows partition. I've heard of viruses reinstalling themselves once windows boots up... Also my clamav said that the engine was outdated but I couldn't find out where/how to update it can anyone hel [05:39] p? [05:39] Fezzler: I think nmbd should be running too [05:40] raylu: i did sudo updatedb and my computer thought for a bit and now what should i check? [05:40] Meshezabeel: Yup It is [05:40] andresmh: Ah... there's probably an easier way, but do you have any application installed which uses that library? [05:40] tiyowan: is it not possible to install NTLDR from ubuntu [05:40] Fezzler: so it is running :) [05:40] digitalnorm: now you can use "locate filename" and it'll show you where it is, if it exists [05:40] GodfatherofEire: hrrrm, i dunno [05:40] fwaokda: You need to boot into Windows safe mode, download a rootkit uninstaller, and take it from there. [05:40] Fezzler: after you change your script, you need to restart samba [05:40] digitalnorm: so you could run locate on some of your music files. i have to go now; i may be back in half an hour, i may not [05:40] arrenlex, yes, the app is called cheese [05:40] tiyowan, ok thanks [05:40] Meshezabeel: I had a wired network card and switched to wireless. No trying to get shared printer to work again [05:41] andresmh: What does this say? ldd | grep v4l [05:41] its hard for me to solve this with google. [05:41] Hi there, I was wondering if I could get someone to help me with an audio driver issue. [05:41] GodfatherofEire: You need to shut down any already running firefox before you start the beta version. Otherwise the beta just asks the running firefox to open another window for it. [05:41] Fezzler, can you see other samba shares when connected wirelessly? [05:41] arrenlex, returns nothing [05:41] Appi: It's better if you try the Win. disc first. Can you mount the Windows partition from Ubuntu and check if there any files like NTDETECT.COM present in the directory? [05:41] stroyan: done that too [05:41] I am trying to get my echo MIA soundcard working and ubuntu forums say to install ALSA drivers first, but i do not have permission to extract or move the ALSA files to the right location [05:42] tiyowan: is it possible to install NTLDR file from ubuntu [05:42] I am running ubuntu server, and I dont have a get command to download webpages, when i use apt-get install get, it doesnt find the package, Anyone know what its called? [05:42] Meshezabeel: Yes [05:42] GodfatherofEire: i do know what i would do though if i were you and i REALLY wanted to try out 3.1b2 [05:42] tiyowan: ok [05:42] GodfatherofEire: The beta started fine for me by just running the 'firefox' script in the directory it unpacked into. [05:42] ardor: do you mean 'wget'? [05:42] fwaokda; please see this http://ubuntufs.wordpress.com/2008/02/14/update-clamav-in-ubuntu/ [05:42] yes, i am dumb. [05:42] Appi: Yes, it is. But you still need a Windows disc to copy the files off of. [05:42] ardor: nahh it happens :) [05:42] abarai_renji, ok thank you [05:42] Fezzler: so why is the printer not working? [05:43] stroyan: found the problem, firefox wasnt QUITE closed, had to kill the process [05:43] Fezzler: or did you change your samba configuration? [05:43] fwaokda; welcome [05:43] andresmh: That's weird. It's not linked to that library at all. What is the full output of ldd ? [05:43] GodfatherofEire: nice one.. good you got it worked out [05:43] Meshezabeel: Not sure [05:43] GodfatherofEire: Now your beta testing really begins. Good luck with that. [05:44] Fezzler: the shares and printer are in the same smb.conf file? [05:44] arrenlex, http://paste2.org/p/115701 [05:44] raylu: i appreciate your help. i think i am too newbie to do this myself. thanks for taking the time. . peace [05:44] tiyowan: okay I will try to do same, thank you very much [05:44] how can i auto start a gdesklet daemon like a clock without starting the whole shell where you pick the daemon from Like in ubuntu ce a bible verse shows up on desktop when you loged in [05:44] Messhe [05:44] I have the appropriate drivers down loaded for my audio drivers. Where do I extract them to, and how do I install them? Do I need some sort of SSH client? [05:44] not listed there, maybe that's why cheese is not working, i guess that's the problem that i started it all [05:45] Meshezabeel: Where is the smbconf file again located? [05:45] Appi: Could you wait one please? I'd like to give you a link. [05:45] tiyowan: sure [05:45] Meshezabeel: May be a permission issue [05:45] Fezzler: I'm not exactly sure, I think it is under /etc/samba , but can't remember off the top of my head, otherwise you could do locate on it [05:45] andresmh: Wow! Lots of dependencies. Anyway, I read the whole list and there's nothing resembling v4l there. It may be statically linked to its own version. [05:45] is there anyway to have root permissions to drag and drop files without using terminal and sudo? [05:46] stroyan: any idea how to port stuff from 3.0.4 to 3.1b2? [05:46] agh, thanks arrenlex, cheese is driving me crazy [05:46] analogue__: umm, did you read what I sent you? [05:46] Meshezabeel: Just noticed it can see the other network devices but not access. Maybe something got broken when I switched to wireless netwrok card [05:46] hi, are there no updates available at the ubuntu main repo for the past 2 weeks? [05:46] analogue_: are you dragging and dropping files outside your Home directory? [05:46] my camera works with skype but not with cheese [05:47] yes, but i can see my other partitions i'm trying to copy files to the linux partition [05:47] andresmh: libv4l doesn't seem to be listed in the dependencies for cheese... [05:47] Fezzler: how are the machines connected together? Through a wireless router? [05:47] !who | analogue__ [05:47] analogue__: 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 :) [05:47] GodfatherofEire: I assume you mean add-ons. I don't work on those. That sounds like a topic for mozilla.org [05:47] raylu: something i can't remember(i'm still kind of rusty here). if using a display manager do you know if a .xsession or .xinitrc file still works to start up apps when the wm load ups? [05:47] analogue__: you aren't making any sense [05:47] im trying to just drag and drop a tar file to my directory /usr/src/alsa [05:47] is there a better search engine than google at finding something on the internet? [05:47] Appi: If you have a Windows disc available, then repairing from there is best. You need to select the repair option and type fixmbr. Otherwise, you can try this: http://tinyempire.com/notes/ntldrismissing.htm [05:47] it says i do not have permission [05:48] lol sorry [05:48] camorama is also not working [05:48] im am looking for someone there nick is "xxxx@yahoo.com" i dont think google can find it is there some other search engine that works better? [05:48] analogue__: yes. I gave you instructions on how to setup proper permissions for your user on vfat [05:48] Meshezabeel: Main PC connected wired to router; printer USB to main PC; Ubuntu wireless to router [05:48] gives an error: Could not connect to video device [05:48] /dev/video0 [05:48] Appi: The solution will overwrite GRUB, which means you won't be able to boot into Ubuntu; don't panic, that can be fixed as well. You'll need to reinstall GRUB off the Ubuntu LiveCD. [05:48] andresmh: Does /dev/video0 exist? [05:48] the link u sent? or code you left on irc screen? [05:48] arrenlex, i think it does, how can i check? [05:48] analogue_: if you need to do something that uncommon, it should be no problem to run 'gksu nautilus' at the terminal to do what you have to do [05:48] andresmh: Try the command "file /dev/video0" [05:49] Fezzler: and before they were the same way, except both pcs were connected wired to the same router? [05:49] analogue__: I didn't give you any code. Ubottu sent you a link [05:49] Fezzler: the same router you are using now? [05:49] tiyowan: okay I will do the same. [05:49] tiyowan: thank you very much [05:49] Appi: You're most welcome. [05:49] ok ill look it over again, but that seemed like it was for automatically mounting other partitions, which is not my issue [05:50] runpain2: hello. i'm still a llittle rusty here, but i think you can make a file in your home directory(or it may already be there called.. .xsession. and you can edit the file with executables you want to start up with your window manager [05:50] arrenlex, it returns /dev/video0: character special [05:50] !startup | runpain2 [05:50] runpain2: To add programs to start up when you log into your Gnome session go to System>Preferences>Sessions and use the Startup Programs tab. For more information, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AddingProgramToSessionStartup - See !boot for starting non-interactive programs at boot [05:50] andresmh: That would be correct. [05:51] thanks jrib [05:51] Fezzler: you could also try sharing your printer with CUPS instead of with samba [05:51] arrenlex, in fact, on skype i can do a test of the camera, and it is listed as UVC Camera (17ef:4807) (/dev/video0) [05:51] thanks onetinsoldier i have kubuntu 8.04 though will that work there as well [05:52] andresmh: Oh, so it's just cheese that can't see it? [05:52] but both cheese and camorama wont work [05:52] runpain2: ok, good luck [05:52] Anyone have the issue in which when playing a full screen opengl game, about 10 minutes into it the game windows and becomes unresponsive to controls? [05:52] i read some where you can run gnome and kde side by side [05:53] possibly in differant x sessions [05:53] what ever you do in gnome will show up in kde right [05:53] friking skype, i hate it is so smart that works out of the box but cheese and camorama don't [05:53] I have 2 network cards [05:53] runpain2: doh.. i see you were asking a question. yes.. should work there as well. you need put a line at the very top though... [05:53] how to break the link-local [05:54] andresmh: Have you tried googling that error message with cheese in the string? [05:54] yes [05:54] Thanks XFCentral : 'gksu nautilus' works [05:54] runpain2: the line at the very top should be like so... #!/bin/bash [05:54] nothing useful [05:55] runpain2: then you put stuff below it... like /usr/bin/clock [05:55] analogue_: no problem! that should do the trick when you need to be root and you prefer doing things graphically [05:55] ok wait a few brb [05:56] analogue__: you should setup proper permissions for your user as I've tried to tell you 3 times now.... [05:57] sorry jrib i think i lost that link [05:57] andresmh: Just wondering, what happens if you launch it with sudo? [05:58] !vfat > analogue__ [05:58] analogue__, please see my private message [05:58] thankjs === lala is now known as optimuz === optimuz is now known as ibe === jimmacdonal is now known as os2mac === Junglenut is now known as Junglenut|Away [06:00] KDE 3.5 on intrepid is unsupported right? === lala is now known as ibe === lala is now known as ibe === divinebovine is now known as holycow [06:02] nautilus is goofy.. right click->eject on empty cdrom and it says "Unable to mount media.

[06:02] <-Knows just enough to know he is probably doomed. [06:03] if you just ask the question you're more likely to get someone to try and help. asking if you can ask a question doesnt help much [06:03] apologies... [06:05] JOIN #bbs [06:05] I have Ubuntu 8.10..fresh install. Geforce 6200. WHICH package is correct for me? from what I can tell its the glx-96.... now I have x shut down, and when I try to install THAT version OR glx-173 it tells me it cant find/OR/compile for my kernel (too new). Does that mean I HAVE to downgrade the kernel.....OR? have I just looked over the solution? [06:05] Anyone have any idea why Nautilus would suddenly not be able to mount USB drives but Dolphin still can (albeit with a admin password, which I never had to give to Nautilus). [06:06] That's under Ubuntu 8.04 [06:08] sliderz: you could download the driver from nvidia's site, it should build the kernel module for your kernel, so you don't have to downgrade it [06:08] Hello there, On quest [06:08] Why firefox in linux the Preference is in the edit menu and in windows is in tools menu? [06:08] any logic sense? [06:08] first step using bison. Somebody can address me to a specific channel? This is good? thx [06:08] Nautilus still *shows* them when I connect, but if I right click on the drive and select Mount Drive nothing happens (no errors or anything, but the drive doesn't mount). [06:08] tnoy_: both of those (the 173 and 96 versions) are the ones that say "nope, cant compile for your kernel [06:08] cvd-pr: not that i can think of :) always wondered that myself [06:09] sliderz: do you have the build tools installed? [06:09] now that,....im not sure of.. [06:09] XFCEntral, :-S [06:09] sliderz: this is the nvidia proprietary driver? that you've downloaded from them? [06:09] onetinsoldier, yes [06:10] the one that supports my card even..ive researched [06:10] sliderz: why not use glx-177 from the repository? [06:10] even tried envyNG...didnt work. [06:11] sliderz: yeah, form what i have seen on here. the kernel is too new and you have to wait for nvidia to come out with a driver that will work with newer versions of the linux kernel. and guess what, us ati users are in the same boat [06:11] tnoy_ how/where/thank you/? [06:11] s/form/from [06:11] sliders, sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-177 [06:11] guys I've heard that my loss of my dvd drive might have something to do with me using the 64bit version. If I decide to use the 32 bit version and I'm using wubi will I pretty much be starting from zero? I hate to think that all the tweaks I've done will be lost. [06:12] sliderz: or, perhaps what tnoy_ suggets will work.. i dunno [06:12] sliderz: are you using your own kernel, or the one that ubuntu provides? [06:13] its stock 8.1, just downloaded like 2 hrs ago [06:13] i am having probems with my video graphics can someone help me running extremely slow on compiz [06:13] sliderz: you mean 8.10 of course.. i'm sure [06:13] yes 8.10, right off the website [06:14] LinuxEric: What does this command say? glxinfo | grep ender [06:14] arrenlex, sudo cheese doesn't work either [06:15] andresmh: Yeah, I dunno, man. Sorry. [06:15] the webcam works on amsn and skype [06:15] sliderz: Then use the driver from the ubuntu repository, it should be made for the kernel you're using [06:16] its asking me for the disk now... [06:16] any comments on my question? [06:16] i didnt try the newest one b/c i didnt think it would work...tried to go the safe route. LOL [06:18] Which is better? -(q & 1) & n or (q & 1) * n? [06:18] tnoy it went back to terminal..now just c/a/backspace and its done? [06:18] depends on n [06:18] is there a tool I can use to check the stat of a nic? [06:18] sliderz, what are the conditions? [06:18] MindVirus....at least a 5th of whiskey. [06:18] axisys ifconfig? [06:18] I know this istn really an Ubuntu question but, is there anything you can do to an LCD monitor to get the yellowish tint it displays to zap back to white like it used to be? [06:19] Right... [06:19] Roasted: Sounds like the backlight or inverter is bust. [06:19] tiyowan - maybe, I don't know. I just got a 19 inch used LCD emachines for my secondary monitor and I was just like, whoa... my 22" viewsonic is suddenly not so bright. [06:20] try entering in to the monitor configuration and reset to factory settings [06:20] it's to the point I want to dump ti and pick up a 24 or 26" from newegg and get rid of this one [06:20] HADES - I've tried that. I've done everything with the onboard profile settings with the colors. :( [06:20] sliderz: do lsmod and see if the nvidia kernel module is loaded, if it is, then c-a-backspace might work. (but I'm not 100% sure, its been a while since I've used an nvidia card) [06:20] i had to activate it tnoy, restarting x now...see how it floats. [06:21] Roasted: Send it in to a service shop. You can't change the backlight bulb yourself. Could end up frying yourself. [06:21] Too bad... looks like you get to buy yourself a Xmas present [06:21] tiyowan - That's possible to change the bulb???? [06:21] is it likely to zap it back to white? [06:21] Roasted: Yes, it is. [06:21] I wonder how much that'd run. [06:22] Roasted: $35 I think? [06:22] it worked tnoy_, I appreciate that so very much. [06:22] just tap it with a balpeen hammer ever so gingerly on the screen, that'll zap it! [06:22] you can buy Cold Cathode Ray tubes... not sure where... [06:22] i learned a few things before i gave up tho.. :D [06:22] sliderz: glad I could help :) [06:22] hi :) [06:22] tiyowan - is that something you REALLY need to take to a shop? I mean, I work on computers for a living... would a monitor be that different? :P [06:23] I have a bad problem with my Ubuntu... [06:23] Today is my first official step towards the linux path.....gonna be a long night === _wendy_ is now known as Phantom__ [06:23] Roasted: Yes. It has 35,000 volts of current inside. Trust me. Opening one up can kill you. [06:23] I've got lampp installed. Apparently I can't copy a link to the htdocs folder to the desktop, even with su? [06:23] you dont want anything to do with the gasses that are trapped inside a cathode monitor, really. [06:23] tiyowan - welllllllll thats enough to convince me otherwise, thanks for the tip! [06:23] tiyowan - I thought that was just CRTs... I didnt know LCDs were too [06:24] oh you have a CRT?!? OK never mind... [06:24] no, LCD's [06:24] anyone in here anygood with setting up bots [06:24] both fo them are [06:24] In "System --> Preferences --> Session", how do you set a program to start minimized? [06:24] a CRT isnt worth fixing [06:24] it's not a CRT [06:24] Roasted: No problems. The two most common problems with LCDs are just that, busted backlights/inverters. [06:24] so after a pacman -Syu I finally got the latest links [06:24] heh, yeah, dont bother with a CRT Roasted [06:24] tiyowan - does the "you might die if you open it" theory still apply to LCDs? [06:25] crt's arent worht fixin [06:25] sometimes when I'm away from my station, when returned and click one of my minimized windows on panel, that window wipes out ! but still running its process ! [06:25] * tiyowan agrees with tnoy_ [06:25] Roasted: Yes. [06:25] ouch! [06:25] Roasted: i wouldnt try to open a CRT if i wer you [06:25] Some of my fonts in firefox looked "effed" up -- how can I fix this? It just doesn't look nice. I noticed the main fonts do(what you see on the pages) yet the fonts within my buttons and stuff are cute short. How can i fix this? [06:25] Its not a CRT... [06:25] Its an LCD.. [06:25] pacman -S msttcorefonts [06:25] well dont go opening any crt's Roasted [06:26] theres a 22" Acer that my mom just got off newegg... its pretty nice... its down to 170 now. [06:26] Roasted, i have that same one i believe it is nice [06:26] Roasted: Might I suggest #ubuntu-offtopic? [06:26] actually better question, how do I do a recursive chown [06:26] Roasted: Do what I do, just keeping buying CRTs. [06:26] ntndo: -R [06:26] its probably a crappy TN panel though :( [06:26] thx [06:26] yeah, yeah, I hear all about the off topic thing. [06:26] ntndo: np [06:26] dammit I should know that [06:26] kinda stupid I can't ask what I want [06:27] lcd ftw [06:27] Roasted: This channel is for Ubuntu support, not general support, nor general Ubuntu. Just Ubuntu support [06:27] yeah, yeah, I hear ya [06:27] Roasted: just dont bother tryin to fix a CRT [06:27] Roasted: LCDs don't have the tube inside, so technically, it's safer. you might want to try #hardware [06:27] arghh2d2 - I don't even have a CRT. [06:27] arghh2d2: learn how to read: he said he has an LCD. [06:27] <_jlb> Roasted, what do you have than? [06:28] LCD [06:28] jdlfk;ajsdkl;sa [06:28] Roasted: I wouldn't try taking apart a CRT tho.. ;-) [06:28] is there a way to use two separate displays with two separate resolutions? [06:28] yes [06:28] any idea or experience? [06:28] I'm doing it right now [06:28] fushorts: xrandr [06:28] ahahah [06:28] fushorts: I am doing it at the moment [06:28] 19 - 1440x900 + 22 1680x1050 [06:28] fushorts: as long as they're 2 different X sessions, yes [06:28] i wouldnt do that if i wer you Roasted [06:28] do what? [06:28] open any crt's [06:29] I dont have any CRTs!!!!! [06:29] arghh2d2: stop. [06:29] lol [06:29] Roasted: you too. [06:29] ok, im done lmao [06:29] me what? [06:29] In "System --> Preferences --> Session", how do you set a program to start minimized? [06:29] fushorts: I use gnome and have monitor plugged into laptop and goto monitor resolution settings [06:30] that is what i am trying to do but i am having some sort of problem and it just reset all of my gnome settings :( [06:30] whats a good computer hardware channel? [06:30] Roasted: #hardware [06:30] hey thanks [06:31] onetinsoldier: no idea. but can't you just put it in your gnome session options? [06:31] MoLoot, do i need a separate program for it? [06:32] woden: you speak with me? [06:32] i think starting it out minimized would involve a bunch of geometry syntax that i have no clue about...final answer. [06:32] hanibana: Don't think so [06:33] ok [06:33] how 2 network card in a system work by default === Junglenut|Away is now known as Junglenut [06:34] mankash: Um, could you open up a terminal and type ifconfig? [06:34] or a dos prompt [06:34] arghh2d2: please remain on topic. [06:34] Hi everyone, is there a way to boot into recovery mode and uninstall nvidia drivers? [06:35] well i thought maybe he didnt know what a terminal was [06:35] is there any vm software installed by default under ubuntu? [06:35] xjimx: you shouldn't have to reboot into recovery mode, just a terminal. hit ctrl-alt-f1 and you'll get a TTY [06:35] xjimx: the text mode consoles should be available to you. Can you try Control+Alt+F1? [06:35] Meshezabeel: no. [06:35] Meshezabeel: Nope. [06:36] c/a/f1 is usually x [06:36] how do i take a screen shot? print screen not workin [06:36] In "System --> Preferences --> Session", how do you set a program to start minimized? [06:36] Gnea, tiyowan thanks :) [06:36] try c/a/f2 [06:36] !fr | mankash [06:36] mankash: Ce canal est en anglais uniquement. Si vous avez besoin d'aide ou voulez discuter en francais, merci de rejoindre #ubuntu-fr [06:36] I moved homes. I'm using the PC of my friend in one room. My Ubuntu box in my room can't get onto the internet. We're using a router. My friend's PC, which I'm using now, has internet connection. My ubuntu box, even though I've connected another cable, doesn't have net connection, and even though wireless router's light on "Lan 2" is lit up, just like light for friend's PC on "LAN 4". Please advise. [06:36] hey all - is there any video capture with sound programs with linux? [06:36] I have 2 seperate dhcp servers for both of these network cards, bit both are taking ipaddress from 1 server [06:36] Phantom__: Applications -> Accessories -> Take Screenshot? [06:36] accdng to ubuntu panel, "network connection applet" says "no connection". strange. [06:36] Can anyone recommend some good vm software to either run windows xp or vista from within ubuntu? [06:36] I cant get to the comp right now, will write it down and try in the morning [06:36] arghh2d2: no, f7 is X. please, get your facts straight before handing out advice. [06:37] meshebazbeel: your best bets are VMware and xen [06:37] Meshezabeel: VMware, probably. [06:37] Meshezabeel: also, kvm and qemu [06:37] vmware isn't free [06:37] lawstudent-> your ubuntu box is using ethernet cabling? [06:37] meshezabeel: both of which are free as in beer. VMware works dandy in linux. [06:37] raylu: server is. [06:37] mankash: obvious question, are the dhcp servers bound to each specific interface? [06:37] tiyowan: but that wont work with something is showing while clicking it [06:37] Gnea: i thought the buntu login screen was launched from f1 [06:37] meshezabeel: bleh, it's free as in beer. [06:37] Gnea: really? since when? [06:37] arghh2d2: it resides on F7. [06:37] yes [06:38] raylu: since over a year ago. [06:38] n8tuser: yes. my ubuntu box is using wired ethernet cabling. (so is friend's Win XP box) [06:38] it's been free as in beer for years [06:38] Phantom__: Um, I'm sorry, I didn't understand that very well. [06:38] at least 2 years [06:38] okay, haha, thanks gustavod, tiyowan, and raylu [06:38] Gnea, where does it lanch from? [06:38] wine is good [06:38] lawstudent-> and both are connected to same router on the lan ports ? [06:38] In "System --> Preferences --> Session", how do you set a program to start minimized? [06:38] mankash: Go to a terminal and type ifconfig. [06:38] i already did [06:38] hello. I have a question. I have a network between my ubuntu machine and win xp laptop. I can access ubuntu from laptop but not vice versa. I see laptop computer in my ubuntu machine but when I try to access the share folder of laptop, there is nothing. What should I do? [06:39] arghh2d2: I suggest you go to http://help.ubuntu.com and follow some links and read up on things. [06:39] they have ip address from same router [06:39] mankash: Do you see both of your LAN cards? [06:39] arghh2d2: most basic questions, as well as others, are already answered there. [06:39] * Panarchy says Hi [06:39] yes [06:39] n8tuser: yes both are connected to the one and the same dell wireless router. [06:39] Repeat question [06:39] n8tuser: ubuntu box is on "LAN 1". Friend's WinXP comp is on "LAN 4" port. [06:39] i guess if you have a desktop manager installed it launches from f7 and x then starts on f7? [06:39] lawstudent-> ok, does your ubuntu have an ip address assigned by the dell router? [06:40] arghh2d2: don't guess. know. [06:40] Hey there. [06:40] mankash: are the two separate DHCP servers or isolated ethernet segments? How do you ensure each card gets a reply from a specific DHCP server? [06:40] yoda [06:40] lawstudent-> and you are sure lan 1 port is working? you tried lan 2 port? or 3 ? [06:40] Gnea: i think it's only free as in beer [06:40] Gnea: it'd be so much easier if you would just answer my ubuntu question here in #ubuntu. [06:40] Does anyone know how to remove all packages from ubuntu except 'english language', internet capabilities & apt? [06:41] so if X launches from f7, where do the virtual terminals from f1 thru f6 launch? [06:41] mankash: there's nothing the DHCP client can do here. It broacasts a DHCP request and gets the first answer it can. [06:41] n8tuser: according to the web config status of dell router, the router can only "see" my friend's WinXP comp [06:41] raylu: I suggest you visit www.vmware.com and find out for sure. [06:41] n8tuser: i've tried lan2. [06:41] bcos cards are speratley connected to routers [06:41] gustavid: I guess set it as default gateway [06:41] mankash: I think you can get a workable setup by putting one interface *down* while the other one is up. [06:41] n8tuser: to make sure, I'll make WinXP comp use LAN 1 [06:41] i came here to ask a question about ubuntu, not ask someone to use google for me [06:41] Does anyone know how to remove all packages from ubuntu except 'english language', internet capabilities & apt? [06:41] lawstudent-> so i suspect your cable towards your ubuntu is bad, and or your ubuntu nic card is bad? you can not get an ip address? [06:41] vmware player and vmware server are free to download and use. [06:41] Panarchy: use a server install disk [06:42] I've tried using the alternate disc [06:42] What does the server install disc contain? [06:42] arghh2d2: then use google for yourself. all I've seen out of you is disinformation. we don't need that. [06:42] n8tuser: "ubuntu nic card"? what is that? [06:42] the server disk contains very litte [06:42] let me know how to restart samba [06:42] NIC: Network interface card [06:42] In "System --> Preferences --> Session", how do you set a program to start minimized? [06:42] n8tuser: in my previous home, my ubuntu box's wired internet was working fine [06:42] lawstudent-> thats the network interface card [06:43] whynot: sudo /etc/init.d/samba restart [06:43] Panarchy: The alternate install CD didn't let you do a minimal enough install? [06:43] thanks Gnea [06:43] enough to get you into a CLI. Itll install a bunch of stuff too but itll be easier to clean out the fluff [06:43] n8tuser: ok. I do NOT think my UBuntu nic card is bad. Ubuntu nic card was working just fine in previous home. [06:43] mankash: what happens when you disable the dhcp server that is handing the ip addresses to both machines? Do one/both grab an IP address from the other dhcp server? [06:43] lawstudent-> how about the cable? how long is that? [06:43] Jordan_U... seems everything is still there [06:43] Gnea: i did [06:43] like GNOME and that [06:43] will someone using a standar *ubuntu install please hit ctrl+alt+F1 and tell me what they see? dont forget hitting ctrl+alt+F7 brings you back to X (gui) [06:43] n8tuser: 15-20 feet [06:43] n8tuser: it was working fine before [06:43] arghh2d2, what is the point of that exercise [06:43] and GIMP is still there [06:43] arghh2d2: that would take you to the first virtual console [06:44] what other program can i use instead of gimp? a simpler one [06:44] n8tuser: could it be a ubuntu issue (a software issue on my ubuntu box)? [06:44] arghh2d2, its very clear what it does. [06:44] Panarchy: That is only if you follow the default install, I haven't used the alternate CD in a while but it should give you the option of doing a minimal install, there is also the minimal install CD [06:44] lawstudent-> it could have been working at the other home, but by moving around, it could have slipped, reseat it again? turn power off before doing such ok [06:44] I see TTY1 [06:44] arghh2d2: that's the regular virtual console, tty1 [06:44] ok, i didnt know. [06:44] I want to REMOVE EVERYTHING other than network capabilities, apt and a terminal interface [06:44] !minimal | Panarchy [06:44] Panarchy: The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD [06:44] n8tuser: what could have physicaly slipped? [06:44] arghh2d2: what version of ubuntu are you using right now? [06:44] Panarchy, no need for caps, get the minimal installer [06:44] i'll go to the ubuntu box room and try [06:44] Hmm... [06:44] Gnea: 7.10 [06:44] Im using warty [06:44] arghh2d2: you should see a 'login' prompt as provided by /sbin/mingetty, right? [06:45] lawstudent-> dont know, it may be loose connection? [06:45] 9.9MB [06:45] YAY [06:45] Thanks [06:45] i'm just trying to figure out how gdm works [06:45] arghh2d2: you should consider upgrading to 8.04, at the very least. [06:45] Panarchy: Just use denian if you want something that is minimal [06:45] Think that's what I'm looking for [06:45] arghh2d2: check your /etc/inittab, that should give you a feel for what's listening on each tty [06:45] 9.9MB [06:45] Panarchy, please dont use enter as punctuation [06:45] What's denian? [06:45] Gnea: the secret to ubuntu is stay two steps behind the current "stable" version [06:45] Panarchy: he typo'd... Debian [06:46] ah [06:46] or Arch, or Slitaz [06:46] oops, i ment to type debian. [06:46] or LFS [06:46] I'll still have a look at the minimal ubuntu and see what I can do [06:46] if I fail [06:46] Then I'll try with another distro [06:46] like debian [06:46] Panarchy: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [06:46] '~$ sudo ethtool eth0: Settings for eth0: Supported ports: [TP MII].' What does mean 'TP' and 'MII'? [06:46] Let me ask you one more thing. Big company, corportates use linux samba for their server? [06:46] arghh2d2: it's a display manager: it starts up X and handles user assignments. like when you bootup windows XP and it allows you to choose from several different accounts to login with. [06:46] hothatch: Why are you using warty? [06:47] In "System --> Preferences --> Session", how do you set a program to start minimized? [06:47] Samba seems to be unstable. and picky. [06:47] arghh2d2: that's fine [06:47] Aw man [06:47] Gnea: ever wonder what percentage of #ubuntu questions start out "i just upgraded and now i cant..." and end with "...it used to work on old version" [06:47] whynot: works fine here, perhaps you broke something [06:47] 5 min till finished downloading [06:47] Thats what I installed long ago and it works [06:47] Wait... DownThemAll! Yes, getting good speeds now [06:47] its a nostalgia thing [06:47] 2 min left [06:47] Thanks GUYS [06:47] cya [06:47] arghh2d2: ever wonder how problems get fixed in the first place? [06:47] * Panarchy goes! [06:47] Panarchy: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [06:47] Gnea/what I have done is backup and restoration. Using clonezilla. That's all. [06:48] I solve problems [06:48] woden: Use the program devilspie. [06:48] with my mind bullets [06:48] hothatch, please chat elsewhere [06:48] arghh2d2: but that's understandable, we do our best to make a solid system. thank you. :) [06:48] Gnea: ahhh, so user frustration is small price to pay for development? i suspected as much. [06:48] n8tuser: do i have to enter a MAC address on ubuntu box? [06:48] no, dont get me wrong... [06:48] arghh2d2, do you have a support question? [06:48] ubuntu is great and i'm really glad yall do what you do...PROPS [06:49] how do I tell ubuntu to boot w/o any X? [06:49] lawstudent-> nope, thats taken care of by the driver usually, do you see green light on your ubuntu nic card? [06:49] arghh2d2: the only people who get paid to do it are with conanical. everyone else spends their own free time on it. it works. [06:49] why? whats wrong with warty? [06:49] Gnea: I've got two linux partitions. One for / and one for /home. If I back up the entire / partition, then if I restore, I'll have a working system right? [06:49] axisys-> go to single user mode? [06:49] Gnea: dont worry, your secrets safe with me. [06:49] tiyowan: only if you told your backup program to include other filesystems. [06:49] axisys: http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/reference/ch-tips.en.html#s-no-x-start (the update-rc.d method) [06:49] bullgard4: Why do I need a program to do that? Can't I do it from Sessions? [06:50] hello :) [06:50] n8tuser: single user mode give me no network [06:50] secret? LOL [06:50] tritium: i have no shell yet.. how would I run update-rc.d ? [06:50] Gnea: Hmm, could you kindly recommend a good backup application for using with Ubuntu? [06:50] axisys: no shell? What do you have, exactly? [06:50] tiyowan: sure. local or network based? [06:50] axisys-> well, you can disable gdm from starting [06:50] Gnea: local, please. [06:50] tritium: i just installed ubuntu [06:51] n8tuser: how? [06:51] I like the dd if=/dev/(your hard drive) of=/dev/null backs up great! [06:51] tiyowan: target medium? [06:51] tritium: i just installed ubuntu.. have not been to login to it yet [06:51] Gnea: External HD or possibly CDs as well. [06:51] axisys: then you can open a terminal, or switch to a virtual console, and use update-rc.d [06:51] axisys-> have you even tried to google for such info ? do some leg work .. [06:51] !backup | tiyowan [06:51] tiyowan: There are many ways to back your system up. Here's a few: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BackupYourSystem , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DuplicityBackupHowto , https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HomeUserBackup , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MondoMindi - See also !sbackup and !cloning [06:51] tiyowan: check the 2nd and 3rd links [06:51] n8tuser: thnx [06:52] Gnea: Thank you very much. :) [06:52] tiyowan: cheers [06:52] tritium: i tried switching to virtual console using ctrl-atl-F1 [06:52] tritium: did not work [06:52] woden: Your window manager Metacity is only a minimalistic program. It has not enough functionality. [06:52] axisys: from the login manager? [06:53] bullgard4: I looked at devilspie, looks to complicated for me. [06:53] tritium: yes [06:54] woden: I hope that you have the opportunity to visit a local computer club and get help there. [06:54] axisys: that's bizarre. However, you can do the same from a terminal after you log in. [06:54] bullgard4: Huh? [06:54] tritium: i am failing to login [06:54] hy [06:54] \ [06:55] hi :)...non1 answered my hello yet [06:55] woden: I do not understand your question "Huh?". Please use Standard English. [06:55] hello [06:55] Hello. [06:55] '~$ sudo ethtool eth0: Settings for eth0: Supported ports: [TP MII].' What does mean 'TP' and 'MII'? [06:55] :) [06:55] Huh probably means idkwtf [06:55] axisys: using the username/password of the user account you setup during install? === _lifi is now known as lifi [06:56] Hrrm.... first time using XChat on Ubuntu, sorry about the 2 connections === Cody_ is now known as Cmitch1120 [06:56] Hey I installed kde-nightly on ubuntu then un-installed it, and now my Wifi is GONE! No icon in the top panel! What can I do to get it back? [06:57] n8tuser: interestinngly enough. there is no green light on my ubuntu nic card. In my previous home, I remember seeing a green light. [06:57] ocRob: I do not understand your "idkwtf" either. Please use Standard English. [06:57] I need a smoke...this is so way over my head :) [06:57] lawstudent: I'm sorry, I missed the beginning of the discussion. What seems to be the problem? [06:58] tiyowan: I moved homes. I'm using the PC of my friend in one room. My Ubuntu box in my room can't get onto the internet. We're using a router. My friend's PC, which I'm using now, has internet connection. My ubuntu box, even though I've connected another cable, doesn't have net connection, and even though wireless router's light on "Lan 1" is lit up, just like light for friend's PC on "LAN 4". [06:58] According to ubuntu panel, "network connection applet" says "no connection". iinterestinngly enough. there is no green light on my ubuntu nic card. In my previous home, I remember seeing a green light. [06:58] bullgard4: You do not make sense. What else would "Huh?" mean? Sheesh, get off your high horse. [06:58] lawstudent: You're trying to connect wirelessly from your ubuntu box right? [06:58] yeah c'mon everyone knows 'idkwtf' [06:58] "huh" is in the english dictionary... [06:58] ocRob: enough [06:59] An1 wanna take time out to talk to a computer idioit? [06:59] tiyowan: no. WIRED. [06:59] k sorry :P [06:59] Sure, but it will be the blind leading the blind [06:59] tiyowan: wired ethernet cable. [06:59] anybody experienced some problem with python-mechanize package at ubuntu repositories? [06:59] Question: when setting up Ubuntu as a wireless AP, how to set up /etc/network/interfaces to enable WEP? I'm using Madwifi. [06:59] lawstudent: Okay. Are you using 8.10? [06:59] Meshezabeel: I just deleted old print driver and created new one and wireless printing works! [06:59] lawstudent, do you have a network connection icon by your clock:? [07:00] tiyowan: yes, ubuntu is 8.10 gnome [07:00] @ lawstudent...what's the difference between unlawful and illegal? [07:00] Demetrius: stay on topic, please [07:00] sliderz: yes. network connection icon is there, but it says "no connection" or something to that effect. [07:00] Demetrius: Stop trolling. [07:00] Demetrius: please keep questions on topic. [07:00] Demetrius: sorry. busy now. [07:00] lawstudent: Okay...could you please go to System -> Administration and open up Network tools. [07:00] sorry [07:00] anyone here a user of audible.com? i'm trying to get their drm files to work in ubuntu [07:00] lawstudent, have you right clicked on it, made sure it is enabled/set for dhcp? [07:00] tiyowan: ok. one sec as i go to the room with my ubuntu box. will be back in 10 seconds [07:01] sliderz: i'll do that now, too! [07:01] brb [07:01] lawstudent: What I need you to do is to open up a terminal and type "ping 192.168.1.1" [07:01] '~$ sudo ethtool eth0: Settings for eth0: Supported ports: [TP MII].' What does mean 'TP' and 'MII'? [07:02] wish i had something to contribute [07:02] TP = Twisted Pair, no idea about MII, though, sorry [07:02] sliderz: yes. it was DHPC . and it was DHPC automatic. [07:02] tiyowan: i've now opened up Network tools. I will now go back to ubuntu box and do the ping command [07:03] anyone here a user of audible.com? i'm trying to get their drm files to work in ubuntu [07:03] !dhcp [07:03] dhcp is Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol, a protocol for automatic IP assignment from a router. Ubuntu uses dhclient as a DHCP client but other ones (and DHCP servers too) can be obtained from the !repos. More info at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DHCP [07:03] Windows depresses me, and I want to install Ubuntu...but I'm afraid it won't recognise my MB and other integrated stuff [07:03] it will [07:03] lawstudent: have you checked the output of ethtool? does it report having a proper link? [07:03] !wubi | Demetrius [07:03] Demetrius: Wubi is an Ubuntu installer for Windows users that allows you to install and uninstall Ubuntu like a Windows application, in a simple and safe way. http://wubi-installer.org/support.php for troubleshooting. Please file bugs at http://launchpad.net/wubi/+filebug. [07:04] tiyowan: is 192.168.1.1 supposed to be the router IP? coz my dell router's webconfig page says router ip is "192.168.2.1". [07:04] thanks to both tritium and n8tuser, i pick the recovery mode / single user and then followed the link http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/reference/ch-tips.en.html#s-no-x-start [07:04] Demetrius: try wubi out then :) [07:04] tnoy_: how can i tell if it has a proper link. [07:04] lawstudent: Ah yes. :-) Then ping that, please. [07:04] now i can boot and it does not start X [07:04] awesome! [07:04] tiyowan: i'll try the 2.1 address. brb [07:04] axisys: good deal [07:04] i'm trying to get their drm files to work in ubuntu [07:04] lawstudent: You'll see "Link detected: Yes" at the bottom of ethtool's output [07:04] and having no luck [07:04] thx 4 the tip...I'm a complete idiot here...I just stumbled upon this forum ok? [07:05] when i install a program where is it saved? [07:05] Demetrius: everyone starts somewhere [07:05] lawstudent is the router secured? [07:05] so i can create a shortcut, since its not showing in the applicartions/internet [07:05] Hey guys, the wireless icon in the top panel has disappeared... How can I get it back? [07:05] Phantom__: type 'which program' where program is the name of it [07:05] am i gonna get ignored all night? [07:05] Phantom__: depends on the program, but most of the main ones wind up in /usr/bin [07:05] Phantom__: Or, the nameof the binary that is [07:05] kvirc [07:06] !patience | idejmcd [07:06] idejmcd: The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines [07:06] Okay, does anyone here know much about PulseAudio and it's esound compatability? [07:06] Samba fails to mount winxp network shared folder, what should I do? [07:06] Flannel, are you concious and alert? [07:06] idejmcd: only if you're disrespectful. [07:06] Phantom__: further, if you only know the package name, "dpkg -L " will list all the files in that package. [07:06] And I can still see my wireless thing in iwconfig [07:06] whynot: how are you trying to mount it? [07:06] n2diy: Er, sure? [07:07] hello [07:07] having osme wireless issues [07:07] gnome, network. [07:07] when i type alsamixer i do get a error no mixer elems found and when i start volum controll i do get a error there 2 what can i do? [07:07] ubutto: my attitude is fine, i just wanted to be acknowledged, saying there is no answer right now is better than not getting a response [07:07] for some reason, i am able to connect using wifi-radar [07:07] Great dtuff guys...lots of info here thx :) [07:07] yet i can not get any thing over port 80 [07:07] ill check that link, thank you [07:07] idejmcd: Do you really want 1300 people telling you that they don't know? [07:07] hahaha [07:08] tiyowan: when i did "ping 192.168.2.1", terminal says "Network unreachable" [07:08] well played flannal [07:08] i'll keep that in mind next time [07:08] I'm a horrible typist... [07:08] lawstudent: That means that your Ubuntu box can't communicate with your router. [07:08] sliderz: it's wired connection. anyway, the wired connection needs no password. [07:08] when i type alsamixer i do get a error no mixer elems found and when i start volum controll i do get a error there 2 what can i do? [07:08] tnoy_: i'll check now [07:08] lawstudent try his cord/port... [07:08] sliderz: what? [07:08] bad cord maybe? [07:09] tiyowan: why can't it? This was the same router I was using in my previous home. 8-( [07:09] test the cable on another machine [07:09] ive saw bad switches....cords..etc [07:09] when i type alsamixer i do get a error no mixer elems found and when i start volum controll i do get a error there 2 what can i do? [07:09] lawstudent: Please type ifconfig and verify whether your ethernet card is up. Look for "eth0 UP" [07:09] or hook it up to your handy continuity checker [07:09] !sound | rs-friends [07:09] rs-friends: If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 [07:09] Win xp grab ubuntu shared folder, but not ubuntu. [07:09] any one that can answer a wireless question foe me? [07:09] Has ubuntu good audio and video qualities?...I'd hate to lose Windows MovieMaker...it's so easy to follow [07:10] !multimedia | Demetrius [07:10] Demetrius: Ubuntu 7.04 installs multimedia codecs automatically. For older versions of Ubuntu, or if you can't use the automatic installer, see https://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/common-tasks-chap.html - For multimedia applications, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MultimediaApplications [07:10] mb_: anyone can, everyone probably can't, somebody might and nobody will, unless you tell us what the problem is. [07:10] tiyowan: I did 'ifconfig". I don't see "eth0 up". [07:10] What is the best way to configure my AC97 audio in u8.10? [07:10] I see eth0 lines but no UP in etho [07:10] eth0 [07:10] Gnea, that's what I was waiting for, some one to acknowledge [07:10] lawstudent: Bingo. [07:11] I am having issues with port 80 traffic [07:11] tiyowan: did my nic card break in the move? [07:11] I was very careful with my computer [07:11] for a ocuple of days, ubuntu puked on my wireless [07:11] lawstudent: what happens if you do sudo ifup eth0 [07:11] lawstudent: Hang on, lemme find the command. [07:11] i just tried wifi-radar and it got me connected again [07:11] however, i can not do any thing on port 80 [07:11] lawstudent: Type what onetinsoldier wrote. === Jguy2 is now known as Jguy [07:11] You guys are on a faster connection...or you are wizards at the keyboard...please be patient with my replies...thank you :) [07:11] onetinsoldier: ( tiyowan): ok. will be right back. [07:11] i use firestarter as a firewall. do i need to clear some rules? [07:12] and if so, what is the cmd? [07:12] mb_: why are you using a firewall? [07:12] Flannel, ok, 8 hours ago I was trying to upgrade from Breezy to Dapper, but I was interrupted by an Xmas party, now I'm back, semi-concious and semi-alert. The upgrade didn't work. Apt-get found nothing to upgrade, and withheld cpp, and cpp-4.0? [07:12] '~$ sudo ethtool eth0: Settings for eth0: Supported ports: [TP MII].' What does mean 'TP' and 'MII'? [07:12] ziroday, why use a condom? [07:13] can someone tell my why I am banned for #ubuntu-es :( [07:13] Kattollikisd: #ubuntu-irc is the place for that [07:13] I'll reboot winxp laptop and ubuntu desktop, both. I hope it's gonna work for me. [07:13] :/ [07:13] n2diy: Alright. pastebin your sources.list, and the output to apt-cache policy ubuntu-desktop libc6 [07:13] ok, so instead of kicking me and giving me a bad ompression about #ubuntu [07:13] I need an absolute idiot's guide to learn about ubuntu...please tell me where I can learn that...and I'll leave you all in peace...thank you :) [07:14] why not ask me a few questions about my issue [07:14] Demetrius: help.ubuntu.com [07:14] tiyowan, onetinsoldier. sorry, when i went back to my ubuntu box, i DID see the "up" line in ifconfig. it was something like "UP MULTI BROADCAST" or something like that. [07:14] Demetrius: help.ubuntu.com [07:14] hello guys [07:14] mb_: unless you are server or in a seriously dangerous environment you don't need a firewall. Having one and not knowing how it works or how to configure it will do more harm then good [07:14] any1 knows how to see how much RAM i have? [07:14] im using ubuntu 8.04.1 [07:14] !iptables | mb_ [07:14] mb_: Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'iptables' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo), or GUI applications such as Firestarter (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE). [07:14] lawstudent: Okay. So your ethernet card is working. Your router is working. But your card can't talk to your router. [07:14] vlacki, the 'free' command is handy [07:14] vlacki: free -m [07:14] tiyowan: onetinsoldier: anyway, when i did sudo ifup eth0, it said "ignoring unknown interface eth0=eth0". [07:14] ziroday, i've been using firestarter with ubuntu for over 3 years, don't start with me. [07:14] 6.06 mf. [07:14] thx tiyowan :)...bye folks :) [07:15] tiyowan: that is strange. because it's the same router i used in my previous home. [07:15] mb_, please check the links [07:15] mb_: Please watch your language. This is a family friendly channel. [07:15] Flannel, , is "apt-cache policy ubuntu-desktop libc6" a channel? === Kwitschibo_ is now known as Kwitschibo [07:15] lawstudent: roger.. i recommend using the 'iptraf' (you'll need to install it) utility and watch is closely when you try to ping your router [07:15] is = it [07:15] ubottu, i would check the links if I COULD DO ANY THING OVER PORT 80!!! [07:15] n2diy: command? yes. pastebin its output [07:15] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [07:15] that's my problem [07:15] lawstudent: Perhaps you've got a bad cable? [07:15] mb_: calm down! [07:15] Cannot enable WEP on my Ubuntu wireless access point... anybody who knows "/etc/network/interfaces" got a moment? [07:15] Flannel, 10-4 [07:16] i am using port 6667 for irc and that seems to work fine [07:16] tiyowan: if it's bad, then why does my dell router light up when the cable is plugged to the ubuntu box? [07:16] Mad_Wifi_er: you've read the manpage for "wireless"? [07:16] hmmm [07:16] lawstudent: Follow onetinsoldier's advice as well. [07:16] law, try cable on win pc [07:16] onetinsoldier: tiyowan: can't install stuff because no internet connection [07:16] mb_: do you still have the issue if firestarter and the firestarter daemon are disabled? [07:17] onetinsoldier: "no idea. but can't you just put it in your gnome session options?" [07:17] lawstudent: however, if you use iptraf you might not see much more than desttination unreachable.. but you never now [07:17] sliderz: that's an idea. [07:17] know* [07:17] ziroday, let me kiil them and try and find out [07:17] onetinsoldier: you asked me something an hour or more ago; that was my response [07:17] lawstudent: Hmm, sliderz <- [07:17] tritium: yes, it's very brief [07:17] I Need help im trying to install ubuntu 8.10 and i am manually resizing the partitions when i click forward i get error saying "No root file system is defined. please correct this from the partitioning menu." [07:17] lawstudent: Check out the cable on a WinPC. [07:17] ubuntu__: could you take a screenshot of your current layout? [07:17] sliderz: ( tiyowan) but the problem is that the cable goes through some floors. and to remove the cable completely is tedious. but maybe I should do that. [07:17] raylu: roger.. i was just trying to confirm for someone that wes here earlier using 8.04.. can you do that same thing in 8.04? just wondering [07:18] ubuntu__: Do you have one partition you're creating for /? [07:18] tnx people [07:18] tnx a lot ! [07:18] onetinsoldier: system > preferences > sessions? i believe so [07:18] lawstudent: Hmmm, unplug the cable. Do you have any spare cable handy? [07:18] raylu: its you i was talking to you like 3 hourse ago ya ill take a screen shot ill do i send it to you [07:18] hi there [07:18] the cable is your enemy. [07:18] ziroday, what would be a command to clear ip_tables? [07:18] raylu: roger... thanks, pretty easy there! nice. i'm used to plain old debian [07:18] what command can i use to list my inputs in a shell? [07:18] Does anyone know how to extend your desktop to your 2d monoter in Xubuntu?!?!? [07:18] another quick wireless question, do I need to apt get a package to get broadcom cutter? [07:18] what command can i use to list my sound inputs in a shell? [07:19] lawstudent: if you have a link-light on both the switch/router and the back of the network card, then its generally safe to assume that the cable is ok [07:19] raylu: how do i send you a screen shot [07:19] eweb what vid card [07:19] ubuntu__: tinypic.com, imageshack.com, etc. [07:19] ziroday, seems not to have any affect with firestarter being shut down [07:19] Flannel: what do you mean [07:19] tnoy_: He can't ping his router. :/ [07:19] sliderz: radion 1550 [07:19] ubuntu__: also, consider changing your /nick [07:19] raylu: whats that [07:19] tiyowan: that could be because of the router's configuration [07:19] ! pastebin [07:19] ubuntu__: places to upload pictures [07:19] mb_: If firestarter is stopped then it is not a firewall issue, unless you have more then one firewall going... [07:19] 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) [07:19] Win xp can access ubuntu shared folder, but ubuntu can not. It hurts me. [07:19] ubuntu__: You said you were resizing partitions, were you making any new ones? [07:19] ziroday, not that I know of [07:20] raylu: Excellent point. :-) Need coffee. [07:20] Flannel: yes [07:20] tiyowan: well, if the nic isnt getting an IP address or is down, then you're not going to ping it.. [07:20] ziroday, what could it be then? [07:20] wireless works, but just not port 80! [07:20] linode users? does a fresh install of intrepid ibex include iptables? [07:20] ubuntu__: And one of the ones you were making, did you indicate that it was going to be used as "/"? [07:20] nice_burger: Yes [07:20] Flannel: no [07:20] lawstudent: Could you unplug the cable which is going from your ubuntu box into your router and plug it into the jack in which the cable from your Windows box is plugged? [07:20] do i make it a EXT3 [07:20] ubuntu__: Are you trying to install Ubuntu? [07:21] Flannel: yes do i make it ext3 [07:21] hey Acedip [07:21] ubuntu__: Yeah, ext3, and marked as / [07:21] ubuntu__: not that you should also have a swap partition [07:21] ubuntu__: the "/" location is called "root", which is the error it was giving you. [07:21] raylu: Flannel whats a swap partision [07:21] tnoy_ & raylu: Perhaps the router isn't configured to hand out more than one ip? [07:21] see, i'm using a slicehost article to set up an ubuntu on linode, and wondering if slicehost adds some things (like iptables) that don't come with by default [07:22] tritium: the man page for wireless points me to /etc/network/if-pre-up.d/wireless-tools ... which is all greek to me [07:22] Flannel: it worked thank you whats a swap partion [07:22] tiyowan: i'll try something else: I'll use my portable Eee PC on both cables (the cable connecting the WinXP and the cable connecting the Ubuntu box) [07:22] Flannel: partition [07:22] !swap | ubuntu__ [07:22] ubuntu__: swap is used to move unused programs and data out of main memory to make your system faster. It can also be used as extra memory if you don't have enough. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq for more info [07:22] tnoy_: yeah, no light at the ubuntu box nic card. [07:22] Mad_Wifi_er: why are you not using network-manager? [07:22] I have a WD 500G SATA2, I have made lvm on it, when I try to format LVs on it, I get http://pastebin.com/m3620ac67 on my tty1 and screen is filled with it, but it stops once the format process is complete. I have even tried jumpering the 1.5Ghz to enable the support for old chipsets, no use. I haven't tested if the same messages appear if I create a partition on it and format it instead of lvm [07:22] lawstudent: No light on your nic? Hmmm.... [07:22] nice_burger: you do know that there are #linode channels here and on oftc right? [07:23] raylu: no swarp partition whats that [07:23] tiyowan: i've tried your idea. no go. [07:23] ubuntu__: ...that's what it is [07:23] gah! i cna even check my email but no port 80 traffic! [07:23] ubuntu__: again, please use /nick [07:23] raylu: so what does it do whats the point of doing it [07:23] lawstudent: try this, "sudo ifconfig eth0 up 192.168.2.100" then "sudo route add default gw 192.168.2.1" I'm assuming the gateway is infact 192.168.2.1 here, then try to ping 192.168.2.1 [07:23] ubuntu__: click the link? [07:23] tritium: you mean from the GUI? I'm just using the command line === ubuntu__ is now known as WHY [07:23] if i put in a music cd and use rhythmbox, add songs to the play queue and then play the queue, then it seems i need to close out rhythmbox beofre i can play songs from the cd again. is it a bug? [07:23] lawstudent: That would seem to suggest your router config is ok. Something's up with your nic. The light should be on. Try tnoy_'s suggestion. [07:23] WHY: Your computer uses it to have "more" RAM than you physically have. [07:23] ziroday: thought the light looked brighter over here [07:24] raylu: LMAO LOOK AT MY NAME [07:24] Mad_Wifi_er: /etc/network/interfaces, as indicated from the "wireless" manpage, can understand iwconfig directives [07:24] onetinsoldier: check the bug tracker [07:24] lawstudent: few network cards do not have a link light, if you don't get one then the cable is likely bad [07:24] WHY: ... [07:24] raylu: roger that [07:24] Flannel: should i set my partision up as swap then [07:24] WHY: Sure, yes. [07:24] nice_burger: ah okay. well were not going to know about linode specific stuff, but the people in there are ::) [07:24] Flannel: do i rely need to i got 4 gb of ram [07:24] ziroday: hardly ontopic here... [07:24] tnoy_: in my previous home (before i moved), i think i remember seeing a light on my nic card. [07:24] WHY: if by that you mean "should i create a new partition as swap", yes [07:24] yawn. [07:24] lawstudent: also, make sure 192.168.2.100 isnt being used by the other computer that is currently working [07:25] ziroday: ja, i'm logging in there now thanks [07:25] WHY: No, you don't really need it, unless you plan on hibernating [07:25] nice_burger: take that discussion out of channel, please [07:25] lawstudent: Check out tnoy_'s commands. Those commands will manually add a gateway address. If you still don't get anything after that, I'd bet my money on the cable. [07:25] Flannel: why would that help with hibernating [07:25] WHY: state is saved to swap [07:25] WHY: again, click. the. link. [07:26] raylu: Please stop that [07:26] ? [07:26] raylu: what link [07:26] Flannel, ok, I culdn't open that channel, it opened as #apt-cache. I pasted my term. output there, and will paste my sources file now. [07:26] !swap | WHY [07:26] WHY: swap is used to move unused programs and data out of main memory to make your system faster. It can also be used as extra memory if you don't have enough. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq for more info [07:26] n2diy: What? There is no channel. [07:26] raylu: oh so its kinda like vitrual memory [07:26] n2diy: paste to http://paste.ubuntu.com/ [07:26] Does anyone have any experience with chm2pdf? [07:27] WHY: it's *is* virtual memory [07:27] raylu: how do i set it up to be swap [07:27] n2diy: And 'apt-cache policy ubuntu-desktop libc6' is a command, not a channel [07:27] Flannel, http://paste.ubuntu.com/85031/ [07:27] WHY: create a new partition, mark it as swap [07:27] n2diy: Wait, that's your sources.list? [07:28] so this partitsion is not where ubuntu goes its a third partition [07:28] I got this message. Nautilus can't display network. [07:28] WHY: correct [07:28] raylu: how big should i make it [07:28] Flannel, working on it. [07:28] tritium: yes, I saw that... but strangely when I put "iwconfig ath0 key 1234-1234-1234" in my /etc/network/interfaces file, it has no effect [07:28] WHY: the link :D [07:28] tnoy_: before i do your sudo command, could you pls see my router's config screenshot at http://piccdrop.com/images/1229239678.png. then tell me whether the numbers you gave me are still the same. please. [07:28] raylu: what link [07:28] ... [07:28] n2diy: Alright. Sometimes people's sources.lists get terminal output (bad > commands, generally) [07:28] !swap > WHY [07:28] WHY, please see my private message [07:28] WHY: Do you plan on hibernating? [07:29] WHY: this is the 3rd time i've sent you that, by the way [07:29] lawstudent: the numbers I gave you are correct [07:29] lawstudent: I think tnoy_'s cmds are correct. [07:29] raylu: sure why not mayby [07:29] Mad_Wifi_er: you don't use "iwconfig" in /etc/network/interfaces [07:29] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq <--- WHY [07:29] WHY: then make it 4.1GB [07:29] raylu: lol and btw it automatically made a swap partision [07:29] lawstudent: note that my commands will not automatically give you 'the internet' but it will verify that the connection to the router is OK === mushroom is now known as mushrmcheeseomlt [07:30] how can i get a recycle bin icon on my desktop instead of the panel? [07:30] raylu: Flannel its set to 1.3 gb so put it too 4 [07:30] !Gnea [07:30] Sorry, I don't know anything about Gnea [07:30] '~$ sudo ethtool eth0: Settings for eth0: Supported ports: [TP MII].' What does mean 'TP' and 'MII'? [07:30] tritium: ok, then what do you mean by "can understand iwconfig directives"? [07:30] fwaokda: have you tried dragging it from the panel to the desktop? [07:30] tnoy_: so do i still use the numbers (IP addresses) you gave ? [07:30] binarymtant, no haha thanks [07:31] lawstudent: yes [07:31] binarymutant, well just tried and it didn't seem to work [07:31] tritium: this seems to be where my set up isn't working... getting from /etc/network/interfaces to iwconfig commands [07:31] Mad_Wifi_er: it can understand iwconfig syntax. That doesn't mean to include the actual command "iwconfig" in the config file [07:31] fwaokda: right-click, create launcher. location: trash:// [07:31] raylu: Flannel so put my swap too 4 gb [07:31] WHY: yes. [07:31] tritium: ok, then what should go in that file? [07:31] Flannel: raylu thank you for your help [07:32] anyone know of a tool i can use to take text from a flash website? [07:32] Mad_Wifi_er: the details you need, such as essid, key, etc. [07:32] xinel: Take text? As in? [07:32] Flannel, here is my sources list. http://paste.ubuntu.com/85035/ [07:32] as in copy text [07:32] Mad_Wifi_er: do you not have a graphical desktop? This is easily setup via System -> Administration -> Network [07:33] tritium: right, but I've tried "wireless-key" and it doesn't work. "iwconfig ath0 key XXXXXXXX" does work. [07:33] How's the upgrade to intrepid, I've had a system of decreasing stability with each upgrade and having gone through four of them now I'm a little worried about a fifth [07:33] tag: If you're worried about it, stick with Hardy. You can upgrade to 10.04 (the next LTS) in 2010 [07:33] Can Somone Help me with Resulation Xubuntu!?!? [07:33] :q [07:33] Mad_Wifi_er: please also see /usr/share/doc/wireless-tools/README.Debian [07:33] Mad_Wifi_er: Umm...you've got the proper drivers right? Because there's an issue with intrepid and atheros. Assuming that's what you're using. [07:33] tritium: I can get a GUI going, yes [07:34] tiyowan: I'm using madwifi drivers [07:34] Mad_Wifi_er: the file above has examples you can follow [07:34] what is the web browser in kubuntu? [07:34] btoogood: Konqueror [07:34] Mad_Wifi_er: that's fine. ath_pci works with wep [07:34] btoogood: and firefox [07:34] flannel: that is the default? [07:34] ya i was guna say firefox [07:34] eweb100: I believe so, yeah. [07:34] !kubuntu | btoogood [07:34] btoogood: Kubuntu is Ubuntu with KDE, the K Desktop Environment, instead of Gnome. See http://kubuntu.org for more information - For support: #kubuntu - See also !KDE [07:34] tag: i found the move to intrepid a bit shaky, tho most of the issues are cleared up now. Really suggest reading the release notes this time around: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/releasenotes/810 [07:34] it has both [07:35] I dont see to have conquer installed [07:35] and i can't remeber removing it [07:35] eweb100: ...konqueror [07:35] cheers peoples, just as ubuntu has firefox just wondering what kubuntu [07:35] tritium: OK, I'll try the GUI and then look at that file [07:35] tag: Went straight from Win to Intrepid on a Dell Inspiron 9400/e1705. Am loving it. :-) [07:35] Mad_Wifi_er: ok, good luck [07:35] Flannel: raylu do i need to format swap [07:35] WHY: No, mark it as swap. [07:36] Does Xubuntu have the REALLY COOOOL resulation tool like in Gnome?? [07:36] ok [07:36] tnoy_: (tiyowan). I did the sudo ifconfig command and the sudo route command. then i did the ping command. it said "From 192.168.2.100 icmp_seq=1 Destination Host unreachable. [07:36] eweb100: resulation? What are you referring to? [07:36] how can I get my crontab entries to stop emailing me? [07:36] binarymutant: that depends on the entries... [07:36] tritium: well... Extending the Desktop to another Monuter [07:36] lawstudent: then it doesn't look like the connection to the router is ok [07:36] binarymutant: pipe the output/errors to /dev/null [07:36] tnoy_: and it went from seq=1 to =2 ... =25... etc etc. [07:36] tnoy_: hmmm. [07:37] lawstudent: Hmm...bad cable maybe? :/ [07:37] Flannel: > /dev/null ? [07:37] < /dev/null [07:37] eweb100: it's spelled "resolution". That's the screen resolution applet you're referring to. [07:37] binarymutant: That'll get output (you'll still get emails about errors, which isn't a bad thing). The first one [07:37] lawstudent: yes, the sec=# increasing is normal [07:37] tnoy_: ( tiyowan) ok. i'll try my eeepc on both the "good"cable and that possibly bad cable. [07:37] thanks Flannel [07:37] tritium: Sory For my bad english, i am spanish [07:37] tnoy_: Shouldn't it say 192.168.2.1 instead of 192.168.2.100? [07:37] tiyowan: could you copy /save messages that people address to me while I disconnect the good cable, please? [07:37] eweb100: no problem :) [07:38] lawstudent: no, its saying you're trying to ping FROM the .100 address [07:38] tritium:So is there? [07:38] lawstudent: I'm here for you buddy. [07:38] er, wait, no. [07:38] Flannel: i am now installing thank you and good bye [07:38] eweb100: checking [07:38] tiyowan: thanks. [07:38] tritium: =) thanks [07:38] lawstudent: Just hang on a moment though. [07:39] n2diy: Can you pastebin the output of that command? [07:39] tnoy_: .100? [07:39] tiyowan: ok. waiting to hear frm tnoy_. [07:39] '~$ sudo ethtool eth0: Settings for eth0: Supported ports: [TP MII].' What does mean 'TP' and 'MII'? [07:39] Flannel, which command? [07:39] lawstudent: lol, no the error you posted is correct, that is what it says when it cannot ping the address, I'm sorry [07:40] lawstudent: Ok, go ahead with the eee and let us know. [07:40] lawstudent: it will show the address you're pinging if the ping works, and the address of the host you're using if the ping does not work [07:40] n2diy: apt-cache policy ubuntu-desktop libc6 cpp [07:40] tiyowan: tnoy_. ok. thanks. i'm disconnecting good cable now. brb in about 2-5 minutes. [07:40] Flannel, roger [07:40] ' [07:41] eweb100: no, gnome-display-properties is in the gnome-control-center package, which xubuntu does not appear to depend upon [07:41] hi has anyone else prolblems with Grahpic and Ubuntu 8.10? [07:41] tritium: Then what is the Alternitive? [07:41] only if I could get my zune to work with ubuntu would I never have to go back to windows... /cry [07:41] uwe2000: What video card do you have? And what is the nature of your problem? [07:42] eweb100: I suggest you ask in #xubuntu. Alternatively, you could install that package. [07:42] after a reboot the xserver did not start again [07:42] tritium: Thank you i didn't know there was a chanel devoted to it THANKS! [07:42] fwaokda: I use my Zune in Windows running in VirtualBox. Its a rather bloated, but it works [07:43] uwe2006: what changes were made? [07:43] VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation NV25GL [Quadro4 900 XGL] (rev a3) [07:43] tnoy_, ya i tried that but it's very annoying to me [07:43] fwaokda: there is rockbox you could use then you wouldnt have to go back to windows [07:43] btoogood, doesn't work with zune :( [07:43] or the Zune marketplace [07:43] I upgraded ubuntustudio via network from 8.04 to 8.10 [07:43] Where is asound.conf in Ubuntu 8.10? [07:44] Flannel, http://paste.ubuntu.com/85039/ [07:44] oh ok just thought i had seen it there on ther webpage [07:44] tnoy_, I wish wine would improve to allow the zune software to work with ubuntu [07:44] I wish wine would improve to completely replace windows :P [07:44] uwe2006: try renaming your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file, then run sudo Xorg -configure [07:45] tnoy_: tiyowan. it must be the ethernet cable connecting router to Ubuntu box. [07:45] onetinsoldier: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg, instead [07:45] lawstudent2: There ya go. :-) [07:45] lawstudent2: it worked after a cable change? [07:45] tnoy_: tiyowan. when i plugged in my eeepc using cable connecting winxp comp (the one i'm using now), wired internet is ok. but when i plug in eee pc using ethernet cable that connected ubuntu box. No internet [07:45] now after 2 attempts I swithced back to 8.04 [07:45] :( [07:45] n2diy: That Dapper CD you have... is it actually a desktop CD? If you open it through a file browser, do you see a start.ini file? [07:46] tritium: ok.. i think either command should work [07:46] n2diy: or an isolinux folder? [07:46] tritium: eeepc doesn't have internet connection with the same ettherenet cable connecting router to ubuntu box. [07:46] tnoy_, I wonder if there would be a type of remote desktop that would work well using the zune [07:46] cemplok [07:46] tritium: did that answer your question? (not sure if i understood your question.) [07:46] onetinsoldier: please use the debian/ubuntu method that takes advantage of dpkg-reconfigure [07:46] Hi I wish to use a proxy server while on X Chat ... Little information on how to do this using Google ..Please help [07:46] tiyowan: how could the wire have gotten bad? [07:46] lawstudent2: not really ;) [07:46] 8-( [07:47] lawstudent2: Happens. CAT cable isn't really conducive to bending. [07:47] apps in hardy crash ALL THE TIME. it feels like windows 98 [07:47] tiyowan: ah! [07:47] tiyowan: can i UNBEND it? [07:47] tiyowan: ... to make it better? [07:47] lawstudent2: no [07:47] lawstudent2: Just run another cable through and you should be all ok. :-) No, you can't unbend it. [07:47] tritium: ok. i'll buy another 20 feet one. [07:48] lawstudent2: if you've bent a Cat5/Cat5e cable to the point of damage, replace it. [07:48] i have s-ata 2 HDD (WD Caviar) and it's slooooow... (~5MB/s) [07:48] Flannel, yes, it has a start.ini, it is the disk I recieved from Shipit.com [07:48] tiyowan: it's not just "another cable" 8-) . It's a 30 foot cable. [07:48] 8-) [07:48] hmmm. maybe 20 bucks [07:48] n2diy: Ah! Thats the Desktop CD, not the alternate CD. You can't upgrade from that one (I know, its silly) [07:48] lawstudent2: I do understand, man. :-) But you know how it is. [07:49] tiyowan: yeah. [07:49] tiyowan: what's do you call the cable? [07:49] Flannel, so start over with the Alt CD! [07:49] is it called CAT cable or ethernet cable or lan cable? [07:49] n2diy: Indeed. Or just do the upgrade from the internet [07:49] lawstudent2: Standard CAT cable. Ethernet cable. Take your pick. [07:49] lawstudent2: CAT = category. You need to specify category 5, 5e or 6 for ethernet cable. [07:50] Flannel: wait, seriously? [07:50] CAT alone is insufficient (e.g., CAT3 is for telephone) [07:50] tritium: what number is the usual cat cable? [07:50] n2diy: Actually, while you're downloading the CD (or before you decide to do the upgrade from the internet), do this for me: alt-f2 then `gksudo "gedit /etc/apt/sources.list"` and pastebin the following into it: [07:50] raylu: about what? [07:50] lawstudent2: 5e is standard now [07:50] just get cat 5e [07:50] Flannel: upgrade to 8.10 only from alternate, not from desktop? [07:50] cat6 will work but its overkill for a home lan [07:50] Anyone know how to begin troubleshooting sound skipping during heavy loads such as opengl games? [07:50] tritium: Hi again, I read that file about wireless tools, and also used the Network Settings tool. Set the password to WEP and provided a hex code. Reboot. Still no go. [07:50] lawstudent2: Tritium's correct. :-) I'd say CAT5e. [07:50] tritium: carpii is 5e almost the same as cat5? [07:51] raylu: you can only upgrade (upgrade, not reinstall) from the alternate CDs, Desktops can only do installations. [07:51] what's the diff between cat 5 and cat5e [07:51] ? [07:51] Flannel: that's kinda broken... [07:51] lawstudent2: no, Cat5e is a bit better than Cat5 [07:51] just the shielding i think, cat 5 would do too [07:51] but 5e is more common [07:51] tritium: carpii. ok. i'll get cat5e if not too much more expensive than cat5. [07:52] lawstudent2: just get what they have at the computer store ;) [07:52] Flannel, I have the alt cd, do I need to apt-get add it? [07:52] tritium: comp stores are pricey. i shop at ncix. [07:52] lawstudent2: I wouldn't worry to much about 5 and 5e, unless you're going to wire up a whole net cafe or something. :-) [07:52] go to ncix.com [07:52] or buy it online, stores are usually expensive for a single cable [07:53] http://www.network-cabling.co.uk/store/cat5e-patch-leads-c-56.html?osCsid=9955043dd217eabf753c7230b32b0219 [07:53] these are dirt cheap if youre in the UK [07:53] n2diy: http://paste.ubuntu.com/85048/ pastebin that into your sources.list, then sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade && sudo apt-get install ubuntu-standard ubuntu-minimal [07:53] can anyone check this and give me a solution http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1010543 [07:53] It seems sound skips quite a bit under some heavier 3d loads. any idea how to go about tracking down the problem? [07:53] carpii: can you pls go to ncix.com and check it out for cheapest 15 -20 feet cable. (Coz i can pick up locally.) [07:53] raylu: Not really. It makes sense when you know how the desktop works [07:54] http://ncix.com/products/index.php?sku=5171&vpn=RJ45-25&manufacture=nGear%20Technologies%20Inc. [07:55] carpii: thanks!!! [07:55] np [07:55] DarkKnight: Um, what exactly do you want to do? [07:55] carpii: $10 for 25 ft sound fair. [07:55] reasonable i suppose, yea [07:55] DarkKnight: Setup a lab using Ubuntu? [07:55] Flannel, the alt cd is cooking, thanks. [07:56] carpii: and the open box unit is even cheaper (2 dollars less). every cent counts for students [07:56] hehe [07:56] tiyowan; ya... make sure that i get updations to clients through the main sever....only the sever has net connection [07:56] n2diy: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DapperUpgrades will get you around whatever else [07:56] tritium: ...maybe a problem with the structure of the /etc/network/interfaces file? First two lines of the stanza are "auto ath0" and "iface ath0 inet static" [07:56] Flannel, 10-4 [07:56] DarkKnight: You need a router. Couple of switches. That's it. [07:57] Mad_Wifi_er: that looks good [07:57] tiyowan: tnoy_: thanks. We'll be more careful with the cable. [07:57] next time. [07:57] hi [07:57] how r u all [07:57] DarkKnight: have a look at the apt-proxy package.. might be what you're looking for [07:57] DarkKnight: I don't anything about Ubuntu server/client...some of the more experienced people here could guide you on that. [07:57] (Coz in the past, we were jerking and tugging it) [07:57] cemplok [07:57] lawstudent2: Well, now you know. :-) [07:58] whats the terminal command to uninstall a program? [07:58] lawstudent2: please don't use "Coz" in your law school classes. It's not proper english. ;) [07:58] i have downloaded an application from wine HQ but it can't be installed [07:58] fwaokda: sudo apt-get remove package [07:58] what is the sulotion [07:58] fwaokda: sudo apt-get remove [07:58] help [07:58] onetinsoldier; so what has to be done [07:58] thanks Flannel , tritium [07:58] is there a way to change the keyboard shortcuts for mutt? [07:58] #help [07:58] !dsl [07:58] Setting up an ADSL/PPPoE connection? Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ADSLPPPoE [07:58] tritium: ok, I'm trying "restricted" mode instead of "open". Rebooting again ;) [07:58] onetinsoldier: DK wants to setup a whole lab from *scratch* [07:58] Mad_Wifi_er: why are you rebooting? [07:59] !firefox [07:59] firefox is the default web-browser on Ubuntu. To install the latest version, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FirefoxNewVersion Installing plugins: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FirefoxPlugins [07:59] DarkKnight: that i don't know... i don't know how to set up networks really. i know a little about networking.. but not all that much, sorry [07:59] i'd like to know why ubuntu keeps freezing my system? [07:59] Umm i just did something i shouldn't have.. Can you rollback things you do in terminal??? [07:59] eweb100: that depends on what you did [07:59] onetinsoldier, tiyowan; thanq [08:00] i've download rdesktop -- how do i connect to a desktop running vista in my other room? anyone have a tutorial? [08:00] tritium: Is there a simpler way to get it to absorb my edit to /etc/network/interfaces? [08:00] is there anyone listening to me [08:00] ummm i insatlled compiz for kunbtu on xfce. so i wanted to remove it [08:00] so i just did the same code but replaced isntall with remove [08:00] i was very excited to finally replace Windows with a reputable distro, but then this happens - it's like having a linux BSOD [08:00] Mad_Wifi_er: System -> Administration -> Network [08:00] man mii-tool: "This utility checks or sets the status of a network interface’s Media Independent Interface (MII) unit." What is a 'network interface’s Media Independent Interface (MII) unit'? [08:00] and it started to delete alot of my files [08:00] DarkKnight: If you want a simple solution this would work....get a router/switches....install Ubuntu and run all of them. If you want a lab in which one machine is running as a mail server etc. Then you'd need to look into Ubuntu servers and stuff. [08:00] and no i dont have rythombox and a bunch of other stuff [08:01] mushrmcheeseomlt: you'd need to give us more detail. It's not happening to us. [08:01] tiyowan; okk...i guess i'll give more thought upon it [08:01] raylu: Can you?? [08:01] tiyowan: i suggested that he get apt-mirror on his server [08:01] eweb100: sorry, i didn't read any messages; next time, prefix them with my name please [08:02] raylu: Know of any good resources on it actually? I'd love to explore a complete Ubuntu system replacing a Windows Active Directory solution. [08:02] raylu: o sorry of corse [08:02] raylu: i insatlled compiz for kunbtu on xfce. so i wanted to remove it [08:02] how can we install microsoft applications in ubuntu 8.04 [08:02] raylu:so i just did the same code but replaced isntall with remove [08:02] DarkKnight: read what raylu said... apt-mirror is probably what you really want [08:02] tritium: I already dialed in my settings with System -> Administration -> Network, but WEP still isn't working [08:02] raylu: and it started to delete alot of my files [08:02] hasibullah: wine [08:02] tiyowan: i told DarkKnight of a great one: google. he was unable to find relevant information, even though the first result is useful [08:03] eweb100: hm [08:03] can anyone tell me how to monitor my total bandwidth usage on my small LAN ? [08:03] i tried allot can u tell me the way [08:03] eweb100: sounds like you removed the kubuntu-desktop package [08:03] raylu: yep [08:03] raylu: Hehehe thanks. Point taken. [08:03] eweb100: there's a file in your home directory called bash_history. could you pastebin the relevant lines from there? [08:03] tritium: yes, my learned friend. 8-) [08:03] eweb100: *.bash_history (with the . in front) [08:03] can i install ubuntu from a virtual drive on windows ? [08:04] raylu: where is it located? [08:04] hasibullah: wine is hit or miss; some will install, some won't. though if you need a lot of them, consider a virtual machine solution or...not using ubuntu [08:04] eweb100: in your home directory. [08:04] raylu, onetinsoldier; ya....i have read it already....i just wanted to know if there are any other solutions...so that i dont end stuck up somewhere....i just wanted to know about alternatives [08:04] Ime on xfce [08:04] Where is asound.conf in Ubuntu 8.10? I don't see it, and I'm trying to adjust some things about alsa, piping audio through PulseAudio completely. [08:04] tritium: Also, System -> Administration -> Network doesn't seem to have all the options I need... I'm trying to set up an access point, i.e., master mode [08:04] @tritium thanks for responding. i was in this channel a few days ago regarding this issue. i'm fairly new to linux so please bear with my being a newbie (less than 2wks). i'm using Intel P4 2.4GHz 256MB RAM 40GB HD. last time i was on this channel it was suggested that it was because of heat issues, but after a few days of booting up, the 'freezing' actually still happened even after a few... [08:04] raylu: i am on xfce [08:04] ...minutes upon booting up so that definitely isn't a heat issue... any takes please? [08:04] DarkKnight: there are ways to set up networked installations [08:04] eweb100: that's fine [08:05] DarkKnight: you'll also want a way for your users to share files [08:05] Here goes my tip and question at the same time. When I make up a network between win xp laptop and ubuntu machine, it worked fine. And then I assigned password to guest account at win xp, ubuntu samba couldn't display a window for user name and password for winxp shared folder. I nullified the winxp guest password. Now ubuntu can access win xp shared folder. Why is that? [08:05] DarkKnight: and a way for users to be able to login on any machine [08:05] Mad_Wifi_er: you *never* said that you were setting up an access point until now... [08:05] raylu: so its in my user folder? [08:05] eweb100: yes. but it starts with a ".", so natilus won't see it [08:05] eweb100: "gedit ~/.bash_history" should help [08:05] window display a window asking ubuntu user name and password but ubuntu samba can't. Why is that? [08:05] raylu; here not much sharing of files is required....i'll give u a whole view of how our lab is.... [08:06] tritium: I did at first. Lost in the scroll? [08:06] tritium: Anyway, that's what I'm doing. [08:06] Basically, how can I define pcm.pulse {type pulse} And stuff? [08:06] raylu: ok almost done [08:06] Nobody can answer me? [08:06] eweb100: i only need the relevant lines [08:06] raylu: i no [08:07] eweb100: oh, ok. i thought you were uploading the whole thing when you said "almost done" [08:07] raylu: lol no [08:07] raylu: sudo apt-get remove compiz compizconfig-settings-manager compiz-kde compiz-fusion-plugins-main compiz-fusion-plugins-extra emerald librsvg2-common [08:07] raylu: that was my last one. [08:08] tritium: as an access point, everything works now except WEP [08:08] Mad_Wifi_er: sorry, can't help with that [08:08] eweb100: was the problem removing kubuntu-desktop or xubuntu-desktop? you could just reinstall whichever one got removed [08:08] Is there no official ubuntu supporter? [08:08] wos: i don't know much about it it, but perhaps NetMRG [08:09] whynot: not for free, no [08:09] raylu; every system is numbered... and every student logs into the system using the system id and password....the system are networked only for package updations or upgradations, mysql server, web sever.....thats all....students are given access only to the clients just to execute their lab programs... [08:09] raylu: i gues the problem is that i did that command and i saw it show "deleting rythombox" and no i can't find it in my media [08:09] whynot: we're supporters here, and this channel is official [08:09] tritium: ok, thanks, should I try in this forum or elsewhere? The madwifi ppl sent me here [08:09] raylu: and i just want to get it back. === qbmaniac is now known as qb|away [08:09] tritium/what do you think of my question? [08:09] raylu: and get back the things that were deleted but i dont know yet. [08:09] anybody know a good nas server that is compatible with a ubuntu box [08:09] whynot: I answered you. (It is an odd question, however.) [08:10] tritium/ubuntu can't display window shared folder, when I assign a password to guest account of windows. [08:10] eweb100: which ubuntu are you on? [08:10] raylu: 8.1 [08:10] raylu: 10 kernel [08:10] eweb100: i meant, ku or xubuntu? [08:10] x [08:10] raylu: X [08:10] eweb100: what happens if you run "sudo apt-get install xubuntu"? [08:10] Mad_Wifi_er: not sure, buddy [08:11] er [08:11] sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop [08:11] raylu: it will explode [08:11] LSbTJzgefXMjGRH: what's with the nick? [08:11] !info xubuntu-desktop | raylu [08:11] xubuntu-desktop (source: xubuntu-meta): Xubuntu desktop system. In component universe, is optional. Version 2.75 (intrepid), package size 15 kB, installed size 44 kB [08:11] Let me know how to uninstall smbfs package, please. [08:11] LSbTJzgefXMjGRH: and also, he already has most of it. removing something removed xubuntu-desktop as a dependency [08:11] your pc will litterally blow on your face. so i advise you wear some goggles before running that command [08:11] raylu: see thats the funy part. i installed the Kubuntu verison of conpiz [08:12] sudo apt-get uninstall smbfs, is it gonna work? [08:12] raylu: and ime running Xfce [08:12] do i need to worry about viruses at all with ubuntu ? [08:12] onetinsoldier, i installed it but how do you run netMRG? [08:12] !virus | fwaokda [08:12] fwaokda: A/V software is available, however read this to understand why Linux does not have a virus problem: http://librenix.com/?inode=21 [08:12] whynot: you can 'purchase' commercial support. at that point, i'd say that you'd get an 'official' ubuntu supporter [08:12] hi there [08:12] raylu; hey we have started with the installation of client systems...is it possible to put up the sever at last [08:13] DarkKnight: um... [08:13] any nvidia gamers around on ubuntu? [08:13] wos: no.. i do not. it sounds a little complex... uses mySQL, c++, pthreads, RRDTOOL.. oh boy [08:13] onetinsoldier/ I'm a just end user, I don't use linux(ubuntu) to make profit. I don't buy linux. [08:13] Mad_Wifi_er: good night, and good luck. [08:13] DarkKnight: to save yourself a lot of time, install and configure the server first [08:13] DarkKnight: so that the other systems can install over the network from the server [08:13] onetinsoldier, yeah i cant get it started without an error [08:13] whynot: heck, same here. i just thought it might answer your question tho. [08:13] whynot: he merely said that because you asked about official supporters. [08:13] whats your nvidia card model ( need a new one ) agp 8x shout model and number + ram [08:14] raylu; hey can u tell me how to install from the sever... === ropetin_ is now known as ropetin [08:14] raylu: My question is, Did i delete Rythombox for good?? [08:14] eweb100: of course not [08:14] eweb100: on another note, do you really want that app? it's kinda...ew... [08:14] tritium/yeah...because ubuntu reminds me of so many things... [08:14] raylu: THen how can i get it back on the applications menu [08:14] wos: you can check out 'iptraf'. but iptraf might not be what you're really looking for.. but i highly recommend you look at it anyway. it's not very complex but still pretty nice [08:14] eweb100: sudo apt-get install rhythmbox [08:15] DarkKnight: apt-mirror [08:15] raylu: i know it is..but there are other things that were deleted that i didn't get to see what they were [08:15] DarkKnight: wait, no [08:15] DarkKnight: but you'll want to set that up anyway [08:15] onetinsoldier, i tested that. it only measures the traffic of the system its running on [08:15] eweb100: did you install xubuntu-desktop yet? [08:15] raylu; sure.... [08:15] raylu:yes [08:15] raylu; y not?? [08:15] tritium/ Somebody says...big company hardly adopt linux(free software) because there is nobody who takes full responsibility when something goes wrong. [08:15] DarkKnight: http://www.faqs.org/docs/Linux-HOWTO/Network-Install-HOWTO.html [08:16] wos: exactly. why i thought it might now really be what you're looking for, but though i should mention it. now i know that you know, lol. [08:16] now = not [08:16] whynot: that's what red hat and canonical are for [08:16] whynot: also, that's only because their management is dumb [08:16] raylu: would reinstalling Xfce get the entries back in the applcations menu? [08:17] tiyowan: tnoy_ tritium. am i looking for a patch cable or crossover cable? [08:17] eweb100: what entries? [08:17] lawstudent2: patch [08:17] raylu/ Hard to comment on your statement. [08:17] raylu: Brb [08:17] whynot: many managers want "guarantees" that their systems will run and someone to point their finger at when their systems don't [08:18] whynot: so red hat inc. and canonical sell support to these idiots [08:18] raylu: how do i remove Xubuntu? [08:18] any ubuntu users with nvidia cards here? [08:18] raylu ty [08:18] eweb100: um...what? why? [08:18] raylu/ people are dumb sometimes, they always try to find out a kind of victims..that's what you are saying. [08:18] raylu: I have a thery i am going to reinstal it. [08:18] whynot: what? i didn't say anything about victims [08:18] unimatrix9: i use nvidia [08:18] whynot: canonical and red hat willingly offer their support. they're not "victims," they're being paid [08:18] unimatrix9: same [08:18] raylu/ It's same context as your saying. [08:18] unimatrix9: you asked about gaming, i believe. i game, though not on ubuntu [08:19] eweb100: that's probably not what you want to do [08:19] raylu/ you don't get my drift...I guess. [08:19] companies also need admins that are trained on linux, just the same as for windows; some companies don't have enough IT staff that knows linux [08:19] vaxius: very true [08:19] whynot: in my opinion, the victims are the employees of these companies that have to suffer under incompetent management [08:19] i am looking at an gf6200 xfx , would that be any good [08:20] unimatrix9: is that the one without a fan? [08:20] raylu/ some managers are looking for sort of victims, what they want is not to run everything smooth. [08:20] yes [08:20] vaxius: i don't like the word "trained" :P [08:20] how much better is cat5e over cat5? [08:20] hello [08:20] unimatrix9: big ass heat sink? [08:20] whynot: that wasn't what i was saying at all. they want both [08:20] black heat sink [08:20] how do I make my new init script start on boot? [08:20] *whoops, sorry for the cursing [08:20] hehe [08:20] not the copper sink though [08:20] raylu: i can do tricks! [08:20] raylu/in other words, they are always seeking for someone or something to blame. [08:21] unimatrix9: well, i have a 6000 series XFX nvidia pci-express card w/out a fan, i.e. heat sink [08:21] hows the 3D performance? [08:21] unimatrix9: it might be the same, the pictures only show one side, i bet, do you have a pic? [08:21] is it best to get as short an ethernet cable as i need? (in other words: does a longer ethernet cable equal slower net speed?) [08:21] unimatrix9: or a link? [08:21] how do I make my new init script start on boot? [08:21] http://www.alternate.nl/html/product/Grafische_kaarten_nVidia_AGP_-/XFX/GF6200/-1071836/?tn=HARDWARE&l1=Grafische+kaarten&l2=AGP&l3=NVIDIA [08:21] link [08:21] hello Could anyone help me with upgrade from ubuntu 8.04 to 8.10 [08:21] lawstudent2: theoretically, if you have a few miles of ethernet cable.. [08:22] lawstudent2: 50 feet is the rule of thumb [08:22] I have download 8.10 iso [08:22] lawstudent2: but no, for your purposes, longer is better [08:22] jw002 , cant do an clean install? [08:22] lawstudent2: the only thing limiting length should be cost [08:22] !upgrade | jxw002 [08:22] jxw002: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes [08:22] raylu/ And it's very improtant for them to make something as their bulletproof. They can escape from rock and hard place while saying it's not my fault! It's them! [08:22] I tried to follow https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes instructions [08:22] unimatrix9: not the one i have, hold on, i'll find a link [08:22] Hi, In standard 8.10 installation there is a Xorg server 1.5? [08:22] lawstudent2: wait i think it's 100 feet [08:22] ok [08:23] i download 8.10 iso [08:23] apelgate: update-rc.d [08:23] hmm [08:23] mount the iso to /media/cdrom0 [08:23] but it doesn't show me a dialogue [08:23] Hi, In standard 8.10 installation there is a Xorg server 1.5? [08:23] ok. After putting the file in init.d, right? [08:23] apelgate: yes. [08:23] i also tried gksu "sh /cdrom/cdromupgrade" [08:24] how can i install wine in my computer [08:24] sudo apt-get install wine i guess [08:24] hasibullah: sudo aptitude install wine [08:24] hehe [08:24] By the way, why linux is using remove command not uninstall? [08:24] matt__: 1.5? you mean 7.5? i saw someone else referring to it as 1.5 and i was like huh? [08:24] thanks raylu [08:24] i am on the emerald theme manager, i imported a couple of themes, but when clicking on any other than mac4lin the theme doesn't change, why? [08:24] whynot: apt always has. it's the way it is. [08:25] whynot whynot [08:25] :P [08:25] onetinsoldier: Xorg 7.4 with xserver 1.5, [08:25] ubottu [08:25] hey in a cd...dont we get all the packages that exist in ubuntu [08:25] should i be using emerald theme manager in the first place? i have intrepid [08:25] ubottu I tried to follow the instruction [08:25] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [08:25] I tried it didn't work. so I tried remove it worked. waste of time. [08:25] Anybody been able to set up an Ubuntu box as a wireless access point with WEP? [08:25] matiit: 1:7.4 in 8.10 [08:26] DarkKnight: nope [08:26] whynot: it's more of a waste of time to complain about something being a waste of time. [08:26] DarkKnight: there is a dvd that has more packages.. but it's still not everything [08:26] onetinsoldier: so, why xf86-video-intl does not require GEM? [08:26] gnea/** you're right. [08:26] matiit: hey, i don't know [08:26] Mad_Wifi_er: no, i just use a dedicated box running pfsense [08:26] gnea/I made too much whining so far. [08:26] Slart; i have a 64-bit cd...and i suppose i got everything.... [08:27] whynot: so enjoy what you have so far and get over it :) [08:27] unimatrix9: i have this: http://www.newegg.com/product/product.aspx?Item=N82E16814150220&CMP=AFC-C8Junction [08:27] it's also fanless, and xfx. i've had it for about 2 years now [08:27] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/WirelessAccessPoint [08:27] So I have been working on the sound stuttering issue in Prey and I found that when I start Prey from a terminal, it is perfect. Only when I run it from Applications>games does it have issues. [08:28] Gnea/maybe you know the secret why samba can't access win shared folder when I assign a password to guest account, don't you? [08:28] And idea why that might be the case? [08:28] DarkKnight: well, you didn't.. you get enough packages to make a default install.. ie you can install ubuntu to an computer that has no internet connection.. [08:28] rdw200169 thank you [08:28] unimatrix9: i highly recommend xfx fanless, did you see the rating the one i have got... [08:28] whynot: sounds like you're doing it wrong. [08:29] where can i check the rating? [08:29] I just installed Opera; for some reason, I can't use the keyboard for anything in it. The keyboard works fine elsewhere, just not in Opera. Any ideas? [08:29] Could anyone help me get out the upgrade dialogue screen please [08:29] oh on the website [08:29] i see [08:29] whynot: your best bet is to ask in #samba [08:29] Gnea/ need some more detailed explanation, please [08:29] What does your hard drive need to be partitioned to in order to install windows? I put the install disk(windows) and it says I don't have a hard drive. Any info on how to fix that? [08:29] jxw002: it's stuck? [08:30] srothroc, I have no idea why Opera isn't seeing your keyboard. [08:30] Miyavix3: is it a SATA hard drive? [08:30] I am on Opera now and have no such issue. [08:30] It's in a laptop [08:30] srothroc: it's frozen? [08:30] I believe so [08:30] vaxius: It's not frozen; mouse works fine. [08:30] it is more likely that you need to slipstream the sata drivers [08:30] google slipstream [08:30] sigh. [08:30] Gnea/ok. let's stop it. Too much headache. [08:30] are you trying to install xp or vista? [08:30] hi onetinsoldier, I download the iso file, and mount the iso file, but I don't see a upgrade dialogue [08:30] flurry isn't in xscreensaver, xscreensaver-gl, or xscreensaver-gl-extra [08:30] bigbakedbean: XP [08:31] unimatrix9: what's surprising is that i can't get another one! *sigh* [08:31] jxw002: oh... [08:31] whynot: seriously, #samba can help you out better [08:31] : yeah you'll need to slipstream the drivers [08:31] raylu: how do I know if rc-update worked? [08:31] it says: [1]+ Stopped rc-update [08:31] onetinsoldier have u had any similiar problems? [08:31] srothroc: i guess you could try a reinstall, opera should just be getting keyboard events the same as every other application [08:31] Gnea/I don't have any user ID. and I don't want to make one. ubuntu channel is the only place I rely on. [08:31] any idea why games run better when launched from the terminal? [08:32] vaxius: I /just/ installed it. [08:32] whynot: well samba is a samba issue, not an ubuntu issue. [08:32] Thanks, I'll try slipstreaming [08:32] jxw002: perhaps it needs to be added to your /etc/apt/sources.list? i'm a little faimilar with that file, but i don't think i know how to add a mounted .iso to it [08:32] nimbus: unless the menu launcher does in some way run differently I have no idea [08:32] apelgate: um...what? update-rc.d [08:32] !samba [08:32] Samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html - Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT. Also see https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/212098 [08:33] srothroc: very strange, i don't know what could be wronge without a visit to google [08:33] gnea/why don't you make it flexible? They are inter-connected actually. Anyway. I'll stop talking about samba. [08:33] Miyavix3: no problem. You can PM me if you need more help [08:33] whynot: it works fine the way it is. it's not broke, so no reason to fix it. [08:33] rdw200169 once you have an card , and it breaks , its hard to find an new one that does the same job [08:33] onetinsoldier, my problem is basically, I insert something to the cd driver, it's supposed to autorun a file, but that file doesn't run [08:33] srothroc - did you maybe pick up the wrong version? such as 32 bit or 64 bit? [08:34] Gnea/don't try to fix something, if it ain't broke. that's ur axiom, I guess. [08:34] Weirdness such as that makes me think something like that might be the case. [08:34] unimatrix9: more or less i'm referring to the SLI benefit, and that requires a duplicate, [08:34] ah [08:34] even harder... [08:34] unimatrix9: regardless, you might want to consider a dual dvi out, so you can do dual monitors [08:34] oh ,yes thats an option too [08:34] jxw002: well, have you tried going into the mount point the .iso is mounted on? might be an executable in there you could try and run [08:35] unimatrix9: nvidia's drivers are *Excellent* at doing that, i know, i'm doing it now, i have one running metacity, and the other doing compiz [08:35] whynot: look, just respect channel and network policy and just go and ask there. [08:35] unimatrix9: on different X displays [08:35] unimatrix9: and i can still drag my mouse between them, even though they are independent [08:35] does it run the games on two srceens too? [08:35] Anybody been able to set up an Ubuntu box as a wireless access point? [08:36] unimatrix9: put simply, i can watch a movie on one, and play WoW on the other [08:36] wow [08:36] ! [08:36] unimatrix9: with no loss in performance [08:36] I don't have windows to slipstream in... [08:36] Gnea/I respect channel. don't take it personal. and I said I'll stop talking about samba. Isn't it enough? [08:36] unimatrix9: compiz won't run on multiple x displays, hence the metacity thing, and i don't like the 'big desktop' option === tony__ is now known as xyxxl [08:37] unimatrix9: b/c then 'full screen' always goes across both displays, and my displays are different dimensions, i.e. ones an upgrade of the other ;) [08:37] cool,you can play wow and video at the same time. [08:37] On ubuntu server I'm attempting to install bacula with this command "sudo apt-get install bacula" It cant seem to find this, do I need to add some repos? [08:37] rdw200169: what version of kernel do you have? [08:38] matkix: first, make sure the package name is correct, do apt-cache search bacula [08:38] nimbus: !info bacula [08:38] oops.. sorry [08:38] !info bacula [08:38] bacula (source: bacula): network backup, recovery and verification - meta-package.

Version 2.4.2-1ubuntu6 (intrepid), package size 51 kB, installed size 92 kB [08:38] onetinsoldier: nothing special, just the normal kernel i haven't upgraded yet, so it's the latest 8.04 kernel [08:38] matkix: nope, looks like it's in main [08:38] onetinsoldier I just tried to execute from the folder, but it says there is no application for this file type [08:38] Oy! I'm getting frustrated with PulseAudio and ALSA combined! GRRRR... [08:38] Humm [08:38] matkix: seems it's in the main repository.. you shouldn't have to add anything afaik [08:38] onetinsoldier: i can't remember what nvidia driver i'm using, at times i've had to download them from nvidia, then others i just use ubuntu's [08:39] rdw200169: ah, roger. so you are able to use the nvidia proprietary driver if you want i assume [08:39] cheap nvidia cards seem to boil down to the nvidia 6200 [08:39] onetinsoldier: oh yes, that's all i've used [08:39] Slart: How can I force apt to re-fresh rather than just say it cant find it? [08:39] matkix: no typos? try running apt-cache search bacula [08:39] onetinsoldier: the proprietary drivers are the ones with the dual monitor support options [08:39] onetinsoldier: with hardware acceleration [08:39] matkix: sudo apt-get update [08:40] rdw200169: i hear you. use nvidia and ati guys using ubuntu 8.10 are wiating for drivers that work with our newer kernel. :-| [08:40] use = us [08:40] Its updatin :) we will try again after [08:40] unimatrix9: and you still spending 55 euro, a minor upgrade to the 7000 series would add a lot of features ... [08:40] w00t [08:40] ty [08:40] onetinsoldier: yet again, i'm glad i'm waiting, i never upgrade right away ;) [08:40] how do i make ffmpeg encode at the highest possible quality? [08:40] matkix: you're welcome [08:41] unimatrix9: if i remember correctly, the 7000 series added HDPC support, among other things [08:41] nexus23: you read the ffmpeg manual, there are many many many switches iirc [08:41] rdw200169: hehe.. roger. i kinda need newer linux(kernel and utils) though. my system is pretty new overall [08:42] onetinsoldier: you must be a programmer then, that's why i stick with python, fewer hassles on that front... [08:42] Anyone ever get this a [fail] when tyring to stop networking with ~$sudo /etc/init.d/networking stop on 8.10? [08:42] onetinsoldier: now, with server stuff on the other hand, i have to be really careful with kernel versions b/c of the strange stuff i use [08:43] onetinsoldier: so i can add iptables features, etc... [08:43] nexus23: man ffomg that's a lot of quits === zAlt is now known as ZeZu [08:43] rdw200169: what in the world makes you think i must be a programmer? i can assure i am far from it! years ago i learned a fair amount of bash shell scripting, but i haven't used linux for so long i have forgotten so much it makes me sad. sniff sniff [08:43] it's a irc thing [08:43] oops, combined messages somehow [08:43] What is the super botton plz help [08:43] yea serious - I was wondering if a bomb went off somewhere jeez [08:43] onetinsoldier: then what do you need the latest and greatest for? [08:44] rdw200169: my hardware is what i meant.. it's pretty new overall [08:44] netsplit [08:44] onetinsoldier: ah, i see, drivers, got it [08:44] What is the super botton plz help [08:44] Okay.. Blah. [08:44] it's an irc switch thing [08:44] I have PulseAudio running, and I'm trying to get my mic to work for recording purposes. [08:45] wtf [08:45] When I turn on the volume to record, it constantly plays outloud. [08:45] What is the super botton plz help [08:45] randal, be more specific [08:45] usually a bot explains what happened [08:45] randal: it's configurable.. alt, windows-key, other-windows-key, altgr, ctrl, shift.. [08:45] what is the super botton on the key board im trying to use my 3d cube [08:45] rdw200169: yeah.. heck, if i want my IDE PATA controller to work, i need kernel-2.6.28... i ended up buying a dvd sata drive so i could install linux. [08:45] yes i happen to have nvidia [08:45] crtl+alt+ left right [08:45] arrow [08:45] Slart: whats the defalt super button key [08:46] randal: it's your windows key === r0bby is now known as Guest11315 [08:46] ok thanks [08:46] randal: I don't know.. why not try them.. it's only six different keys [08:46] onetinsoldier: you should look into the usb install options [08:46] onetinsoldier: for future reference anyway [08:46] Anyone here good with network configuration in regards to installing KVM? [08:47] !anyone | huxl3y [08:47] huxl3y: 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? [08:47] i tried kvm a year ago and gave up, lol [08:47] Slart: whats !anyone do? [08:47] huxl3y: well, depends, you what kind of kvm, like keyboard-video-monitor interface? === LBSources- is now known as LBSources [08:47] rdw200169: because of a kernel bug in the 8.10 installer(kernel-2.6.27) i ended up installing that way, using unetbootin. but i didn't know about it until i tried to install 8.10 and absolutely could not find a way around kernel messages i was getting... [08:47] huxl3y: it tells ubottu (the bot) to write the line you just saw.. cuts down on typing =) [08:47] Anybody been able to set up an Ubuntu box as a wireless access point? [08:48] rdw200169: end_request: Buffer I/o error in sector xxxx over and over [08:48] where are gnome setting stored? [08:48] rdw200160: well I'm looking to setup a windows virtual machine for my photoshop addiction haha [08:48] i wwnt to start them when fluxbox stars [08:48] Slart: ahh thanks Slart [08:48] luddite: I think they are in this registry-thingy.. gconf-editor will let you edit it [08:48] luddite: ~/.gnome and ~/.gnome2 [08:48] huxl3y: what software are you using? vmware, vbox, etc..? [08:48] huxl3y: you're welcome [08:48] rdw200169: then LjL on here told be about unetbootin [08:48] rdw200169: using apt-get install kvm [08:49] luddite, i recall when using some non-gnome windowmanager/desktops having to run the gnome-settings (or similer name) tool to get gnome settings to be read/updated/used correctly [08:49] rdw200169: using this documentation https://help.ubuntu.com/community/KVM [08:49] onetinsoldier: ah, that's a doable means, i would have just done the usb dongle install option myself [08:49] thank you for all the info bye bye [08:49] huxl3y: ok, hold on, i've never used that before, lemme read up real quick [08:50] raylu; how do i allow a directory to have FTP access [08:50] huxl3y: ok, you're gonna want a bridged connection, for sure [08:50] rdw200169: now, i believe that's what unetbootin does.. or what i did with it anyway. i had the .iso on my hard drive. i selected it and unetbootin wrote it to my usb stick and made my stick bootable [08:50] rdw200169: yea thats what I'm trying to configure this is where I'm at [08:50] luddite: if you're talking about gconf, you can use gconf-editor [08:50] I have cdrom & dvdrw, howto: apt-cdrom add ->for my dvdrw [08:51] rdw200169: I've just edited /etc/network/interfaces and I copy pasted that DHCP code and saved the file with vim [08:51] onetinsoldier: yeah, duh, for some reason i read unetbootin and thought netinstall [08:51] onetinsoldier: that's the best software for it, very successful [08:51] rdw200169: the trouble I'm having is silly - I don't know what the values are for my network and the default values from the example don't work.. :p [08:51] huxl3y: don't worry, i caught your note [08:51] rdw200169: yeah, it was great.. very fast! even the live cd running off it [08:52] perhaps i should say.. live usb stick [08:52] ibm_: sudo apt-cdrom add [08:52] since i installed ubuntu my internet has been a lot slower anyone able to help with optimizing network settings? [08:52] ok, how many *real* network interfaces do you have [08:52] 1 [08:52] raylu; how do i allow a directory to have FTP access [08:53] huxl3y: see note above [08:53] rdw200169: I guess my question is should the code from the DHCP values work with my generic network considering I don't know enough about networking. ok I'll look again [08:53] hi, anyone here can help a noob? [08:54] !ask | silverferro [08:54] since i installed ubuntu my internet has been a lot slower anyone able to help with optimizing network settings? [08:54] silverferro: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [08:54] silverferro: just ask the real question you have [08:54] I'm having a weird error with my keyboard, whenever I press up gnome-screenshot is run [08:54] daedelus: Wireless/wired? [08:54] eeek, a noob! :-P [08:54] huxl3y: just run 'ip link' it will show you your interfaces, can you tell me what they are called, i.e. eth0, br0, lo etc.. [08:54] wired [08:55] its 15 mbit cable [08:55] wtf, if i install openssh-server does it not add it to startup scripts? [08:55] silverferro: this your first foray into linux? [08:55] i want to pair my bluetooth headphone and its default pass is 8888 and the dafualt pass ubuntu uses is 0000 [08:55] but i did a bandwidth test at 2 different servers on speedtest and it came up with 6 mbit [08:55] rdw200169: I'm not sure just type 'ip link' in the command window? [08:55] huxl3y: yes [08:55] how can i make it promt me for a password [08:55] pretty sure its rebooted and came up before, but suddenly it can't find the host ... [08:55] vaxius: sudo apt-cdrom add, i get found 0 package indexes,... unable to locate any package files, [08:55] euxneks: Check out System -> Keyboard Shortcuts? [08:56] unless its came unplugged [08:56] ok can someone help me out? i'm rather frustrated with trying to get wine to launch the installer for WoW because I can't copy the files from teh dvd to a directory that wine can read [08:56] * onetinsoldier remebers the first time he got linux installed and stared at a bash command prompt, then timidly typed in help and pressed enter [08:56] onetinsoldier: LOL [08:56] question .. if i make a folder that has mp3's into an iso .. can i just burn the iso to a cd and it will be an mp3 cd ? [08:56] lol! [08:56] onetinsoldier: how long ago was that? :) [08:56] rdw200169: I see a lo, eth0, vnet0, pan0 [08:57] huxl3y: ah, vnet0 is the fake interface created [08:57] macjason0607: Well if you *burn* the iso, it'll just be an iso. If you *burn* the image from an iso, it'll have the mp3s. [08:57] also anyone know how to uninstall an nvidia driver downloaded directly from nvidia not through a package manager [08:57] tiyowan, well, see the thing is, it only started doing this after I ran mplayer in fullscreen mode [08:57] from the command line [08:57] anyone know how to copy hidden files off a dvd? [08:57] lut4rp: very long time.. however, i have only used linux off and on since then. and am pretty rusty right now. i think it was like 1997.. maybe 1996, i'm not sure --> Red Hat 5.0 [08:57] euxneks: Um...hmm...far as I know...there's a shortcut assigned to your up key. [08:58] rdw200169: when I copy the default DHCP code to my /etc/network/interfaces file and reloggin for the settings to take place I loose my internet lol [08:58] Anybody that's been able to set up Ubuntu as a wireless access point? [08:58] huxl3y: put your net config back the way it was [08:58] huxl3y: can you get into the vm? [08:58] euxneks: Could you please go to System -> Preferences -> Keyboard Shortcuts and look beside the heading Take A Screenshot? [08:58] I have cdrom & dvdrw, howto: apt-cdrom add ->for my dvdrw [08:59] rdw200169: not yet this is as far as i've gotten [08:59] yeah that says "Print" [08:59] Mad_Wifi_er: it's possible, depends mostly on the wireless card [08:59] huxl3y: you haven't tried to install windows yet? [08:59] i tried clicking it and pressing the up key and it's recognized as "Up" [08:59] rdw200169: not yet never got passed this bridge part [08:59] Too many conversations overwealming the main....anyone how can help a noob with wlan and blutooth please private me.thanks in advance [08:59] huxl3y: you can skip networking for now, it's not necessary [08:59] anyone using ubuntu here and has experiences of their system hanging or freezing? i'd sincerely would like to know why and how i can prevent it thanks [08:59] tiyowan, tells me that "Up" would make typing impossible which I agree, but I can't remove the shortcut :P [08:59] huxl3y: an dyou don't have to set up a bridge, just use vnet0 [08:59] rdw200169: I've got an Atheros. Actually, it works now, except I can't figure out how to turn on WEP [08:59] euxneks: Odd. Set that back to Print. [08:59] rdw200169: ok I'll restore the code to: [08:59] auto lo [08:59] iface lo inet loopback [08:59] WTF, sshd is running just fine, and it can't find the host, did linux forget its hostname or my router magically decide not to let it work anymore [09:00] The shortcut "Up" cannot be used because it will become impossible to type using this key. Please try with a key such as Control, Alt or Shift at the same time. [09:00] huxl3y: yeah, just let NetworkManager deal with networking [09:00] euxneks: Set it back to print, log out and log in. Maybe that'll clear it up? [09:00] yeah, anyone know how to copy hidden files off a dvd? [09:00] seems linux forgot its hostname [09:00] tiyowan, it's been set to print the whole time though :\ [09:00] Too many conversations overwealming the main....anyone how can help a noob with wlan and blutooth please private me.thanks in advance [09:00] even though it displays it at the prompt [09:00] annoying [09:00] euxneks: Try it for its own sake? :-) [09:00] rdw200169: Do you know about setting up /etc/networking/interfaces? I think the problem must be there. [09:00] huxl3y: using firestarter, you can have vnet0 act as a network internet connection host [09:00] ibm_: sudo echo "deb cdrom:[Ubuntu 8.10 _Intrepid Ibex_ - Release i386 (20081029.1)]/ intrepid main restricted [09:00] " >> /etc/apt/sources.list [09:01] pereclies: cp -v /path/.* /to/destination ? [09:01] Mad_Wifi_er: yes, but you don't need to worry about it [09:01] Mad_Wifi_er: skip networking for now [09:01] Mad_Wifi_er: get windows installed and running [09:01] rdw200169: ok, where should I look? [09:01] well I'm sure it will fix itself once I restart X [09:02] ibm_: that's supposed to be one line, not sure why it posted in two [09:02] euxneks: Try? [09:02] rdw200169: you mean the GUI? [09:02] i installed libx264 but i keep getting this error http://pastebin.com/m27ccd048 [09:02] onetinesoldier: thanks for the response but the -v option doesnt work for me [09:02] tiyowan, I have another unrelated question, will in a bit :D thanks [09:02] Mad_Wifi_er: seen this? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/WirelessAccessPoint [09:02] euxneks: Go ahead. [09:02] on boot, my system hangs until I log in CLI and "sudo /etc/init.d/NetworkManager restart" [09:03] after which the system then continues to boot normally [09:03] rdw200169: ok thanks I'll move on ahead and try to config the rest of this [09:03] pereclies: hmm, interesting. and it doesn't copy any files either? do you get any response? [09:03] huxl3y: yeah, networking is the last of your worries, you can do that on the fly later [09:03] rdw200169: ah ok nice [09:03] huxl3y: i'm gonna specify this: install firestarter [09:04] huxl3y: it's an excellent firewall that has 'Internet Connection Sharing' like in windows [09:04] huxl3y: and install iptraf [09:04] onetinsoldier: i ran "cp -vr /media/cdrom0/ /home/pereclies/Desktop/" and it made an empty directory on my desktop labeled cdrom0 [09:04] hi all [09:04] rdw200169: ok thanks man I appreciate it will it conflict in anyway with iptables default setup? [09:04] huxl3y: set up vnet0 to be the connection to share to , and eth0 to be the one internet comes from [09:04] euxneks: I have no clue about that. :) [09:04] pereclies: are you sure the dvd is mounted? [09:04] huxl3y: then, tell firestarter to set up a dhcp server whatzit [09:04] tiyowan, thanks :) [09:05] euxneks: But I'm sure the experienced users here can help you fix that. [09:05] pereclies: sounds like it isn't mounted... type mount ...and look for it to be mounted on a mount point [09:05] onetinesoldier: OMFG thanks a lot [09:05] rdw200169: both installed [09:05] huxl3y: in the manual network configuration option in Network Manager, manually assign an ip and subnet to vnet0, perhaps 192.168.0.1 [09:05] huxl3y: subnet /24 [09:06] pereclies: if it doesn't show up in that display, then you need to mount it [09:06] pereclies: you're welcome [09:06] huxl3y: the same subnet for firestarter's dhcp server whatzit options too [09:06] raylu; how do i allow a directory to have FTP access [09:06] what are the other support channels for ubuntu aside from IRC chat? thanks [09:06] rdw200169: thanks, I've done some of what's explained in that document, but there's no discussion of WEP -- that's where I'm stuck [09:06] huxl3y: specifying the gateway as 192.168.0.1 [09:06] rdw200169: system > pref > network config? [09:06] Mad_Wifi_er: i don't know what to say on that regard :( [09:06] mushrmcheeseomlt: help.ubuntu.com [09:07] huxl3y: yeah, that'll do it too [09:07] hey guys, i was messing with fonts, can somebody check quick what are default fonts in ubuntu? [09:07] rdw200169: ok, thanks [09:07] chetnick: Sans [09:07] tiyowan: thanks [09:07] Mad_Wifi_er: at least you can add yourself to the small list of people who actually pulled of the tricky 'Master Mode' [09:08] onetinsoldier: thanks a lot. that was it.... stupid mistake. [09:08] pereclies: np. it happens. i know i've done the same b4 [09:08] huxl3y: then, in windows, it should pull ip/dns/sn correctly [09:08] rdw200169: heh, yeah but don't ask how long it took me to get that far ;) [09:08] huxl3y: if dhcp doesn't work, just assign 192.168.0.2 ip 255.255.255.0 sn 192.168.0.1 gw [09:09] hi my http-alt port listening on tcp6 rather than tcp,any ideas? [09:09] Mad_Wifi_er: i would have just used a cheap wireless router ;) [09:09] Mad_Wifi_er: and set it up in 'switch mode' [09:09] ubuntu rules [09:09] Mad_Wifi_er: to piggy back off my desktop's network on the other interface [09:09] tiyowan: can you tell me original size ? :) please :) [09:09] r0ny: you could disable ipv6 [09:09] hey i just had some doubt....during installations...for partitioning....when we select use entire disk.....it partitions itself and no specific mount type is mentioned.....will it create no problems when using a system with such install [09:09] m0t0n: Is that a problem? ;) [09:10] huxl3y: the dns should be the same as what you have in the host os [09:10] chetnick: 8 I think. [09:10] huxl3y: if you can ping 192.168.0.1 from the guest, 192.168.0.2, you're good [09:10] nope I abandoned xp for months now virus free [09:10] m0t0n`: and, no expensive upgrades in incompatibilities ! [09:11] m0t0n`: *and* [09:11] hehe [09:11] m0t0n`: no $200 vista upgrade just to spend $300 on the windows 7 upgrade ! [09:11] m0t0n`: mark my words, i've called it [09:12] I tried vista...for about 6 months.. terrible [09:12] DarkKnight: yes.. it should be no problem. i use 9 partitions here tho, 10th is swap [09:12] I guarantee it man [09:12] m0t0n`: what did you expect? (hahah) it's the new 'windows me' [09:12] rdw200169: i hear that! [09:12] !off-topic [09:12] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [09:13] I was running it on 3gigs of ram too [09:13] Off-topic. But I think the people who jump on the linux boat now, are going to avoid a lot of pain with Win7.

[09:15] vaxius: Yep. But it has some other terrible issues with it. [09:15] nope its just a tv.. dvi to hdmi [09:15] DarkKnight: how many partitions you have doesn't really make a wholelot difference, it' mostly about security(seperate partitions are better), and if something happens to one one of your partitions, data loss is likely to be minimized [09:15] gforce [09:15] m0t0n`: perhaps switch off overscan on the tv [09:15] m0t0n`: ubuntu 8.10 uses the new config-less x.org, but that doesn't mean you can't use xorg.conf for special situations [09:15] s/wholelot/whole lot of [09:15] im running hardy [09:16] m0t0n`: if you're sending digital, you could just set up modelines in a xorg.conf file [09:16] onetinsoldier; and what about a user's personal files storage space....will this decrease it [09:16] onetinsoldier: nice vim reference :-) [09:16] vaxius: not vim really.. sed [09:16] rdw200169: do wacoms work better in config-less x?

[10:05] Hey guys, can anybody tell me why when i try to load my LIN/Ubu OS after i've installed it it's says me "Error loading the operation system." ? [10:05] They seem to play it though, i just get the totem visualisations... if i convert a few seconds with ffmpeg i get video, so i know its in there :) [10:05] I was using bit torrent og client in xp [10:05] raylu: lol [10:05] what can I do to boost the volume of quiet avi files? [10:06] m0t0n`_, i was thinking the vlc player could boost them by up to 300% [10:06] chazco: i'd imagine the ubuntu xine libs are compiled without mkv support [10:06] chazco tried mplayer? [10:06] Boohbah - Hmm... i'm using gstreamer though (i imagine, its Totem) [10:06] What is a good beginner IDE for C++? Or what channel should I go to for more information? [10:06] I have configured my xorg.conf to have a twinview, with my external 1680x1050 as my primary screen and the 1680x1050 laptop screen as additional. This works, but now when I only work with the laptop, its primary which is completely okay, but it extends the screen also, even when no monitor is connected! http://paste.pocoo.org/show/95278/ is my xorg.conf [10:06] /back critters in the yard... [10:06] totem-gstreamer has only one flaw I've come across, it can't play dvd properly [10:06] Veovis_Muad: i hear kdevelop is good if you're into kde... [10:07] nope, I'm on gnome.... [10:07] it doesn't allow for setting the voice/subtitle streams, and one cannot use menus. [10:07] 'cept for that, it's spot on. [10:07] I have yet to try KDE [10:07] ok [10:07] is there an option for audio boost in totem? [10:07] m0t0n`_, I don't think so. [10:07] no wait. [10:07] it has software audio. [10:07] mpathy, http://forum.tuxx-home.at/ [10:07] m0t0n`_: try alsamixer [10:07] so it should "just work" if you top it. [10:08] s/software audio/software audio mixer. [10:08] sorry i'm a bit of a newbie [10:08] * jileeann feels like a broken record [10:08] m0t0n`_: i think vlc has that %500 audio gain too... [10:09] mpathy a better player? === IVBela1 is now known as IVBela [10:09] hey has anyone noticed how you don't have 8.10 working with weather applet in the clock/date applet? [10:09] vlc support widescreen? [10:09] imachine: actually, yes [10:09] m0t0n`_, everything support it, there's not much to support. [10:09] m0t0n`_: of course. but vlc is bleh [10:09] jileeann: its a nvidia and only a minimal problem in a working configuration [10:09] m0t0n`_, err.. it supports videos.. :) whatever res you want [10:09] raylu, umm, well yes. it works if you set it up with 8.04 before hand. [10:09] I have no issues with vlc, or mplayer.. try them both.. use what you perfer. [10:09] raylu, but one cannot add the localisations on 8.10 [10:09] imachine: :( [10:09] i find vlc is good for playing weird formats. [10:09] jileeann: because of that I asked here but it seems to be a half offtopic channel. [10:10] i don't have it installed i dont think [10:10] m0t0n`_: i'd recommend trying mplayer first. if you don't like the cli, try one of the many guis [10:10] mpathy, exactly , I do remember seeing something about that in the forum [10:10] raylu, if I add "locations" it just don't work right no list to choose from. [10:10] help [10:10] raylu, also, do you know where does it pick it's weather off from ? [10:10] help [10:10] jileeann, what is that forum you are linking to? [10:10] please [10:10] rascal34: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [10:10] raylu, the forecasts I mean [10:10] !ask | rascal34 [10:10] rascal34: 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. :-) [10:10] m0t0n`_: But you are right, VLC is a player who can boost the volume of quiet files without reendcoding them.. even tough its not the best quality [10:11] imachine: no idea. [10:11] help me somebody , i cannot login to ubuntu [10:11] raylu, I only have the next best thing which is a city 100km away from me... and so it's not always accurate. [10:11] compiz problem [10:11] but I live in the 2/3rd biggest town in the country [10:11] so I think I deserve to have it on the list :) [10:11] bazhang, a wealth of xorg info [10:12] rascal34: turn off compiz? [10:12] jileeann, just linking to some random forum is not good practices, please refer to the ubuntu wiki or a specific ubuntuforums post rather than just putting up that link. [10:13] jileeann: hmm, but for what can I search? If I would know that, google would have helped me already to solve the problem [10:13] can anyone tell me how to uninstall the nvidia driver that was downloaded from nvidia.com directly and installed from command line? === wolf_ is now known as nick|away [10:13] daedelus: just remove nvidia.ko under your /lib/modules directory [10:13] !alsa [10:13] If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 [10:14] really? === nick|away is now known as nick|here [10:14] no configuration? [10:14] daedelus: you also may be able to go into the nvidia source directory and run 'make uninstall' [10:14] sounds a little to simple [10:14] and where would i find the nvidia souce directory? [10:14] daedelus: well you'll have to configure something to reaplce it... [10:15] right i was planning on gettin rid of it and installing it with synaptic [10:15] please help me boonbah [10:15] daedelus: installing it with synaptic should automatically overwrite it with no problem [10:15] vlc rocks man thanks alot exactly what I was looking for! [10:15] m0t0n`_: sigh. [10:16] rascal34: disable compiz [10:16] thats what i thought but i tried it already and im getting a mismatch error [10:16] m0t0n`_: vlc uses its own decoders, so i don't recommend it [10:16] how to disable , i cant go into desktop [10:16] trying to run eve online [10:16] I have another question: I'm in gnome, and I have the... um... wiggly windows, and they latch on to edges. But whenever I latch any window to the top panel, it... wiggles and then the top part of the window, the part you grab to move, gets trapped behind the top panel. I can still see the menus, but I can't move the window. Any help? [10:16] m0t0n`_, totem-xine is nice [10:16] but I have really quiet avi files [10:16] totem is good too [10:16] m0t0n`_, if you want a seamless move from the old totem :) [10:16] I just need it for a few quiet avi files [10:16] yeah [10:16] I think totem has software audio mixing [10:16] mostly use totem tho [10:16] Boohbah: give me terminal command to disable compiz [10:17] which means you get a separate audio level from the one you set up in volume controll [10:17] but yeah [10:17] vlc is cool too [10:17] :) [10:17] imachine: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [10:17] /usr/bin/metacity --replace & [10:17] hello, i trying to figure out how to make work special buttons on my laptop. Some of them work, some not. Those not working aren't even shown by xev. I guess i need to configure hal somehow? But which codes i show, how to debug this problem, or where to search for help? [10:17] bazhang, if I felt it was a random forum I wouldn't have bothered [10:17] rascal34: ^ ^ [10:17] gnome seems to aim more at ease of use, while kde (and it's application-base) tend to have more wicked options. [10:17] it's all about options there. [10:17] m0t0n`_, so you might want to check say smplayer [10:17] or kmplayer [10:18] mpathy, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=412628 for a start [10:18] imachine: i'm using kde 3.5 and gnome now because kde4 is not quite ready... [10:18] Boohbah, I know. [10:19] Boohbah, part of the reason I migrated to ubuntu was that my previous distro "upgraded" to kde4 [10:19] i remember i used kubuntu a long time ago and kde4 beta was relesed... [10:19] and by the time I realized how to keep 3.5 on it, I already moved to gnome [10:19] i got excited and "not quite ready" didn't even begin to describe the breakage i experienced [10:19] and if I moved to gnome I thought oh, I could just as well try "imrpvoed" gnome, so ubuntu popped into mind. [10:19] and I'm on ubuntu ever since ;) [10:19] imachine: what distro were you using? [10:20] raylu, ArchLinux [10:20] raylu, it was a good year or year an a half with arch ;) [10:20] but all ends well that ends well. [10:20] we have no hard feelings for eachother ;) [10:21] Hello all! I am using Ubuntu, and frequently use the Chinese IME in SCIM to type Chinese; but do so inside of an English locale. If I set the system language to Chinese, then the Chinese fonts appear beautifully (keeping my locale as English), but if I set the system locale to English, the fonts look really thin and not appealing at all. Is there a way to correct this? [10:21] imachine: almost-ex-gentoo user of 7 years here :) [10:21] Boohbah, yeah it's a mazing innit. [10:21] I think it's a matter of time. [10:21] when LInux will immediately be affiliated with ubuntu [10:21] ;p [10:21] unless they do something so horrific, it will shove us all off to some other dist. [10:21] :D [10:21] imachine: corporate is still redhat [10:21] Boohbah, 7 years ?! you poor thing :-) [10:22] raylu, dunno mate. redhat, suse... [10:22] raylu, but Ubuntu provides support too : [10:22] imachine: yeah...but nobody buys it from canonical :P [10:22] and I haven't seen dell laptops with redhat:) [10:22] Ubuntu is going to need to provide more than desktop support to get into the corporate market [10:22] imachine: i haven't seen people with dell laptops with ubuntu either :P they sell them but, again, nobody buys them [10:23] xyxxl: canonical provides server support.. [10:23] it doesn't matter. [10:23] the machine's been set in motion. [10:23] Boohbah, then again my "milk language" is VMS/VAX [10:23] it's a matter of time, I hear jaunty's all the bomb. [10:23] jileeann, I salute thee [10:23] jileeann, VMS is an abomination imho. [10:23] raylu: imachine: yes, the big iron runs redhat enterprise linux :) [10:23] but I never spent more than a few hours on it. [10:24] Canonical does, but i haven't seen any indication that they provide the level of support and expertise in the enterprise-level deployments that Redhat and SuSE do [10:24] which one is better, beryl or compiz ? [10:24] TecR0c, it's aonly compiz now. [10:24] imachine, what do you mean ? [10:24] jileeann: yeah VMS is so old school and awesome! so different from unix [10:24] xyxxl, well, let it roll. it needs time to gain the similar momentum other companies got. [10:24]  I installed Mythbuntu on my Ubuntu system sorta without knowing what it was ... and I want to get rid of the entire thing ... how do I do that? when I try to remove mythbuntu from Synaptic it does not take all the other files with it [10:24] Boohbah, I don't think it's awesome. [10:24] TecR0c, beryl is no longer [10:24] I think it's a big error ;] [10:24] Boohbah: the big who? [10:24] :D [10:24] oh ok [10:24] If I'm going to need support for a few thousand machines, I'd be more likely to go with a company that has proven they can do it [10:25] imachine, I might be dating myself a bit here [10:25] imachine: but there are vaxen that have 10 years+ uptime [10:25] TecR0c, it merged with compiz and became compiz-fusion [10:25] Boohbah, meh [10:25] the OS has potential, so to put it. [10:25] imachine, yes, that is very true, Canonical has a lot of work to do, though. They have some steep competition right now. [10:25] TecR0c, you can still use emerald as a window decorator if you want [10:25] but coming from *NIX, it was WEIRD :-) [10:25] raylu: big iron, you know, IBM mainframes :) [10:26] hi, how can i add dokument presets to the right click menu of gnome? im using ubuntu 8.04 [10:26] xyxxl, that could be construed as offtopic, it is not a help subject, they have multi thousand installations - obviously the others have been around longer ergo greater market share [10:26] Boohbah, tbh, if you need "support" for your servers, you should really rethink your administrators. [10:26] Boohbah, also in most places I've seen servers ran either debian or gentoo. [10:26] eventually fbsd. [10:26] ;) [10:26] knut_, create a folder in your home directory called "Templates" then create whichever templates you want in there [10:27] Paddy_EIRE: thank you :-) [10:27] man mii-tool: "This utility checks or sets the status of a network interface’s Media Independent Interface (MII) unit." What is a 'network interface’s Media Independent Interface (MII) unit'? [10:27] knut_, you may need to logout and back in to gnome again for the changes to show up [10:27] Paddy_EIRE, so emerald isn't primary one either anymore ? [10:27] TecR0c, its not recommended [10:27] imachine: not really, even administrators need support sometimes [10:27] Boohbah, there's always google :-) [10:28] Paddy_EIRE, what do you recommand ? [10:28] only poopy ones need support [10:28] Boohbah, but it depends. [10:28] TecR0c, its unstable compared to gtk-window-decorator or kwin.. although I still use emerald :) [10:28] yeah if everything runs well from the software side. [10:28] it's mostly a pebkac. [10:28] so I'd agree with jamesbrink here [10:28] imachine: so, how many machines are you responsible for? [10:28] =) [10:28] Boohbah, should I count routers as well? [10:28] TecR0c, there are no show stopping bugs with it.. perfectly functional.. its just being phased out [10:29] TecR0c emerald looks great with the reflections plugin [10:29] imachine: yes [10:29] imachine, and switches [10:29] koshar1, that just causes more annoyance [10:29] !offtopic [10:29] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [10:29] Paddy_EIRE: do u have an example for creating such a template? how does it have to be like when i want to make a template for *.odt? [10:29] Boohbah, about 12 [10:29] please take chat to #ubuntu-offtopic [10:29] Boohbah, give or takee one.

[11:32] Yoyoto, no [11:32] Yoyoto, I am reading.. 2 sec [11:33] Methinks I'm missing something for compiling, gnash didn't work either [11:33] Yoyoto, did you install build-essential? [11:33] yep [11:33] GodfatherofEire, i just let it auto-update/subscribe at the start after i install it.. and i never notice them after that [11:33] simplexio: I have no idea... It's an NTFS drive... [11:34] Yoyoto, hmm.. let me see.. I will go over that guide again [11:34] dr_willis; how long did it take to update, cause either mine is updating really REALLY slowly, or its a very large file, or the server is down [11:35] GodfatherofEire, almost instantly as far as i recall [11:35] Bobbino: dosent just mount /that/drive work ?, i have problem thanks to some mount options that ntfs drives wont get mounted on boot, but after login it just works [11:35] Yoyoto, which version of ubuntu are you using [11:35] dr_willis, alright, well, I'll try again in a bit [11:35] Hey, what do I type on the box to connect to a Rhthymbox share? just the IP number? [11:35] ....the wubi one? my plan was to see if I could get ndiswrapper to work then seriously change [11:36] Yoyoto, hmm.. to be honest I would never recommend using wubi [11:36] simplexio: it won't mount at all... It used to mount on boot... [11:36] Yoyoto, have you tried a live cd to see if it picks up your wireless itself? [11:36] Bobbino: what error its gives when you try mount it from console [11:36] noooppeeee [11:37] Yoyoto, download the latest release and give it a spin [11:37] paddy_eire I don't know much about live CDs I'm assuming thats when I boot from a disk [11:37] Yoyoto, yes [11:37] dr_willis, server must be down or somethin, cause Mine still has nothing from the local list, but its already got one from bloody Germany [11:37] simplexio: mount: can't find Robins Dive in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab [11:37] how do I disable the system debugger?

[11:37] Yoyoto, it is the recommended method for everyone [11:37] lppp [11:38] Yoyoto, its easy.. if you are in windows download imgburn install it (its small) then download the latest ubuntu 8.10 release and burn it using imgburn === dazjorz_ is now known as dazjorz [11:38] Hey, what do I type on the box to connect to a Rhthymbox DAAP share? just the IP number? [11:39] since I'm already on this... can I just do it from here? [11:39] Bobbino: reason is that you have defined it in fstab or you try mount just wrong place... exept that you probably mean that that one automatic mount system wont work anymore [11:39] Yoyoto, yes [11:39] Yoyoto, that would be better.. I though you where working from a different computer :P [11:39] simplexio: so redefining it in fstab should sort it? [11:41] nah, I took the wired connection from my seeding computer [11:41] Yoyoto, 2 sec [11:41] paddy_Eire is it just me or are my download speeds alot faster on ubuntu then on xp? [11:41] Is gnome-screensaver deadlocking with kvm vnc running within the same session a known problem?

[11:42] Yoyoto, sometimes that can happen.. I believe its something to do with windows QoS [11:42] simplexio: that's what I did the first time. Is there a better way to do it? [11:42] (or any other program that grabs mouse most likely) [11:42] Yoyoto, http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/download [11:42] paddy_eire, well all the more reason to switch [11:42] I'm already halfway through the download [11:42] great [11:42] :) [11:43] Yoyoto, do I have time to make myself a cup of tea?? hehe [11:43] Bobbino: well notreally. isnt old line there anymore ?

[12:18] i played around with a lot of desktop settings [12:18] and i tried to install a different gnome theme [12:18] quizme, sounds like you need to swap out themes [12:18] bazhang how do i do that ? [12:18] quizme, were you playing around with a lot of theme sets and icons sets? [12:19] bazhang: i am not sure do you mean the version type Nvidia Driver Version173.14.12 [12:19] irooty12, yep [12:19] Yea thats it [12:19] irooty12, and what did nvidia-settings offer when you ran it [12:19] bazhang it offerd me the same as perfernce 680/480 [12:19] bazhang: yes [12:19] irooty12, did you enable the driver then reboot? [12:20] Yes i activated it and rebooted [12:20] f00fyf00f3rz: my, you have a lot of zeroes! [12:20] irooty12, any reason to use wubi instead of a simple dual boot install? [12:20] hi all === Ubuntu_VN is now known as LL [12:20] when i log out, everything looks good [12:20] bazhang well i wanted to have windows and ubuntu so thats the proggi i knew [12:21] but after i log in, it looks messed up [12:21] quizme, how do you reverse all that you done with the themes and icons sets? [12:21] I am trying to listen to Johnny Cash's 'Help Me' in mp3. But I get an error saying " audio/x-asf plugin missing". A blood clot tins is this? [12:21] I need to install a desktop for browsing, flash/java/multimedia support for firefox, can I go for amd64 release or stick to i386 ? === LL is now known as LLL [12:21] bazhang: i don't know [12:21] RAk, 64bit is well supported === LLL is now known as Neuling [12:21] hothollas, which app [12:21] Paddy_EIRE: bad advice [12:22] RAk, and its currently the recommended version [12:22] bazhang: movie player. [12:22] Boohbah, please stop [12:22] Paddy_EIRE: even the flash banners would work nice, like no tweaking or 3rd party things would be needed ? [12:22] Boohbah, read up on things dude [12:22] bazhang any solution [12:22] Boohbah, instead of issuing blind nonsense [12:22] bazhang: when i log into another account it looks normal. [12:22] bazhang: for some reason, the icon is of a movie and not the notes of an mp3. [12:22] RAk, adobe-flashplugin [12:22] Paddy_EIRE: ok, I check a close mirror... [12:22] is now 64 bit [12:22] irooty12, I'm not familair with wubi; perhaps if you repeat your question here every so often someone else will be able to help sorry [12:23] Paddy_EIRE: I had an issue years ago with flash not working on amd64 ;) that's why I asked [12:23] hothollas, okay [12:23] bazhang, kk np thanks though [12:23] hothollas, this is via firefox then? [12:23] boohbah: yes i do [12:23] bazhang: yes. [12:23] RAk, times have changed... apparently Boohbah is still burning witches [12:23] bazhang: how do you mean, firefox? [12:23] hothollas, did you install the mplayer plugin for firefox? [12:24] irooty12, bazhang: Except the boot process itself (and the fact that hard disk access is abstracted), a wubi install is the same as any other. Normal video issues (and fixes) apply, etc. [12:24] bazhang: hmm. not that I recall. maybe update manger did it for me... :p [12:24] so, 8.10 and 64bit version is downloading... [12:24] RAk, Boohbah https://help.ubuntu.com/community/32bit_and_64bit [12:24] hothollas, not unless you instructed it to do so [12:25] RAk, adobe release flash 10 for linux 32bit and 64bit lately.. its in the partners repository [12:25] hothollas, install ubuntu-restricted-extras from synaptic package manger [12:25] Paddy_EIRE: I enable mostly universe/multiverse [12:25] bazhang: so I would have to go to firefox add-ons? [12:25] bazhang: sorry. is that a repository? [12:25] hothollas, not a ff add-on, via repos [12:26] RAk, well enable the partners repo aswell if you want no hassles [12:26] irooty12 do you have a wubi question? [12:26] Paddy_EIRE: I will [12:26] if i type in sudo -u david it still prompts me for the elvie user [12:26] quizme: that's correct. It needs your password [12:27] bazhang: when I do a search for ubuntu-restricted-extras in synaptic, it shows that ver. 10 is already installed. [12:27] '~$ sudo ethtool eth0: Settings for eth0: Supported ports: [TP MII].' What does 'TP' mean? [12:27] quizme, you should reset to a different theme via appearances manager [12:27] hothollas, in browser window type about:plugins [12:28] bazhang: ok did that. what should I look for? === vix- is now known as vix85 [12:29] bazhang: I see audio/mpeg [12:29] hothollas, do you see the mplayer plugin (also might be vlc) [12:29] bullgard4→ Twisted Pair [12:29] bullgard4→ it's the standard ethernet cable [12:30] helo [12:30] I'm having a curious problem with apache2 (running under Ubuntu 8.04).. for some reason apache stops logging and log files are overwritten to zero bytes. My thought on this is that perhaps that apache2 might be crashing and restarting, perhaps as a different user. any suggestions? [12:30] 123456 [12:30] magnetron: Ah! That was too simple. :-) [12:30] hothollas, and your system plays mp3 fine except for streaming via firefox? ie if you have one on your system and play with rhythmbox [12:30] #roms [12:30] jm: Please don't [12:30] perlmonkey: or logfile size is set to 0 ? [12:30] bullgard4→ MII is the extensions for controlling speed and duplex [12:31] perlmonkey: or logrotate makes a booboo [12:31] perlmonkey: That could be (although I'd personally think that's far fetched), probably more likely its a log rotate issue [12:31] magnetron: Ok. Thank you. [12:31] bazhang: yes. all other mp3s play fine. and this is an mp3 file, not a stream, but rythmbox won't play it. [12:31] perlmonkey: or no space left on the device [12:31] bazhang: and I have mplayer2, not mplayer [12:31] anyone using utorrent with wine? how can I set .torrent files to open automatically with utorrent? [12:32] hothollas, did you install w32codecs from medibuntu.org ? that sometimes will help [12:32] bazhang: sorry, in the plugins page only mplayer2 appears, I meant to say. [12:32] funbitz1: Why don't you just use one of the linux clients? [12:32] hothollas, you just install the package from there dont need the repo [12:33] good afternoon dear fellosws of u butnu im now sick fo tryign to figure this out on my own but aptitude and apt get seem to have momenumentaly screwed up i dunn were the errors are what the errors ar eand twjy the hells it isnt doign things properly lols i was wonderign if soemone could come tak a look for me [12:33] bazhang: please tell me that won't break my system. sorry for the noob question. [12:33] hothollas, what version of ubuntu [12:33] hi [12:33] Tefx: Please pastebin (paste.ubuntu.com) the following output: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade === kop_ is now known as kop [12:33] bazhang: gutsy [12:33] Tefx, what does sudo apt-get update return please pastebin [12:33] oops [12:33] bazhang: 7.10 [12:34] need some help.. don't know if its a problem but [12:34] Tefx: actually, just pastebin this: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade [12:34] tiyowan: what are the best linux native alternatives? [12:34] hothollas, no its fine [12:34] got 2 kernels on my grub after update [12:34] bazhang: I'll try [12:34] nachohi88, that is normal and ok [12:34] Tefx: What version of Ubuntu are you running? and what were you trying to o when it broke? [12:34] funbitz1: I personally use Transmission. rtorrent's good, too, if you use CLI. [12:35] so don't need to kill the old one? it`s not gonna cause a conflict in future or anything? [12:36] nachohi88, you may want to hang to an extra one [12:36] nachohi88, no you do not have to.. although you can remove unneeded cruft by doing "sudo apt-get autoremove" [12:36] nachohi88: Nope. The only problem they cause is that they take up disk space. Its actually safe to leave one or two around, in case of kernel regressions. You can remove them through your favorite package manager, just remove the corresponding linux-image-[version] package [12:36] nachohi88, the space save is neglibile [12:37] ok thanks [12:37] i copied the .gconf file from another user now everything is normal [12:37] i mean .gconf directory [12:37] woooo hooo! i found a replacement for wicd too! [12:37] bazhang: I get an "error: a later version is already installed". [12:38] what's a good chat program for Ubuntu? [12:38] hothollas, is this a true mp3 or a drm'd version [12:38] irc [12:38] xchat [12:38] this is great [12:38] quizme, well you can chat to just about any program you desire ;) [12:39] wanna be more specific [12:39] hey guys. anyone here playing 1080p content using ubuntu? [12:39] bazhang: good question. I don't know [12:39] i don't understand [12:39] hothollas, that might be the issue if all others play okay [12:39] quizme, I recommend empathy [12:39] hothollas, ie that particular file and not the codecs per se [12:39] quizme: irssi [12:40] !info empathy | quizme [12:40] empathy (source: empathy): High-level library and user-interface for Telepathy. In component universe, is optional. Version 2.24.1-1ubuntu1 (intrepid), package size 262 kB, installed size 732 kB [12:40] boohbah thanks [12:40] and for IRC quizme if you want a gui use xchat or for cli irssi [12:40] Hello, Can someone tell me where the configuration for xkb is saved in Ubuntu 8.10? [12:40] bazhang: I see. I thank you for all your input. now the next order of business is to start a ubuntu-jamaica channel [12:40] bazhang: thanks again for your time. much appreciated. [12:41] hothollas, /msg ubottu loco [12:41] hothollas: There already is, actually. #ubuntu-jm [12:41] ooh [12:41] Flannel: star. ya large. ya donne no! [12:41] Flannel: thanks [12:41] Hi [12:42] hothollas: Although, that seems to be the only LoCo resource listed. You should look into setting up a proper LoCo team: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LoCoTeams but this belongs in #ubuntu-locoteams [12:42] Flannel: there is only I in the ubuntu-jm channel [12:42] I have just installed ubuntu-restricted-extras and now flash and java works just great in firefox 64bit but not in opera... [12:42] Hello, since which version has Ubuntu gone to pulseaudio? [12:42] pim, gutsy [12:43] Flannel: RIght. a proper channel needs to be set up. I can't exchange ideas with only myself [12:43] hothollas: Alright, the page is wrong then. #ubuntu-locoteams is the place to go to ask about setting up a channel, that page also has a "Start a Team" link, which will walk you through it as well. [12:43] I seem to be having some trouble with it, it won't save my sound settings. [12:43] Flannel: very well. big up [12:44] Flannel, http://paste.ubuntu.com/85103/ apt-get update which seems to work [12:46] Tefx: And the sudo apt-get upgrade? What wereyou doing when it broke? [12:46] Flannel: Would being logged in as root have anything to do with that? [12:48] ardchoille: Not as far as functionality goes. It's indicative of other systemic issues (lack of understanding of how ubuntu does stuff, for example) though. Especially mixed with the "stable" repos, which may be debian specific (or may not), and also the fact that he has -proposed enabled. [12:48] I'm trying to get an Intrepid Ibex'ed laptop to connect wirelessly to the internet, it's got a broadcom chip but Network manager won't connect even though the drivers are installed and all the details have been entered into MN [12:48] Flannel: Ah, ok [12:48] trying to reinstall dtc control panel [12:49] Flannel, [12:49] and then it tried downlaodign it btu it woudlent pill it dependancies which it had doen everytime before [12:49] and no its jsut thogows a fit when i try to downlaod anyhtign sumamt to do withthat file [12:50] Tefx: Alright, we're talking about dtc-postfix-courier, correct? [12:50] arthur_8200, http://news.softpedia.com/news/How-to-Install-Adobe-Flash-Player-64-bit-on-Ubuntu-8-10-98076.shtml [12:50] arthur_8200, take a look at that [12:50] whats the adm group? [12:50] im talkgin abotu the full dtc control panel [12:51] postfix may have eban wat screwed it up tho [12:51] adm group = root group? [12:51] Flannel, [12:51] are there any other browsers better than firefox ? [12:51] sorry keep forget to tag ur naem into the paragraphs [12:51] !better | quizme [12:51] Tefx: Right, the package is dtc-courier-postfix, correct? [12:51] quizme: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. [12:51] so graphics acceleration work when doing X over the net? it must [12:51] quizme: - Opera ? [12:51] no theres 2 package i can pull [12:51] cos i have an extra reposatory added [12:52] Why am I seeing a storm of people attempting to connect to TCP port 6914?

[12:52] where i can get drivers for ubuntu [12:52] perlmonkey: adm is for system monitoring stuffs, can do stuff with /var/log, it's the 'admin' group that gives the ability to sudo [12:52] Flannel, I always enable proposed updates too... I know its bad advice but heh [12:52] which is the whoel control pael thats what i origanely used and tried to use again [12:52] wsco: what sort ? [12:52] Flannel: excellent, thanks [12:53] and then there dtc-core which is the latest vertion on the custom repo Flannel [12:53] wsco: operating systems don't need drivers, hardware does [12:53] Tefx: Alright. So, can we please see what the output of `sudo apt-get dist-upgrade` gives you? [12:53] saywot: hardware drivers [12:53] and dist-upgrade has froze on update-initramfs: Generating /boot/initrd.img-2.6.24-22-generic [12:53] perlmonkey: You would need to log out and back in for new groups to take effect. [12:54] hi, i have a logitech mx518 mouse and all keys are working (checked by typing "xev" in console). is there a way in gnome i can bind functions to it?

[13:00] Paddy_EIRE, your link is good but it only explains flash - which already works. What I am searching for is java on 64bit opera [13:01] <^wotr^biomass> sybux: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=452364 [13:01] Flannel, woudl it be safe to remove the .bak up vertions of initrd [13:01] http://paste.ubuntu.com/85110/ [13:01] arthur_8200, hmm [13:01] Paddy_EIRE, sybux: Inkscape has DVD cover ... um, templates, I guess you'd call them [13:02] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S-0SjA1Qxug&NR=1 [13:02] Flannel, sybux yeah there is also koverartist its a kde app but looks great [13:02] Paddy_EIRE, its kind of strange.. because in firefox64 java works [13:02] RenatoSilva: Please don't do that here [13:02] hey [13:02] RenatoSilva, what's up [13:02] TecR0c: Well if you're doing it wired then the router is not the one that should be doing the security unless it's a router/firewall solution. [13:02] got some more issues with ubuntu 8.10 bootup [13:02] RenatoSilva, someone will ban you here [13:02] arthur_8200, have you checked operas preferences? [13:02] Tefx: That's all the space you have in /boot? [13:02] I migrated 8,04 to 8,10 and I have issues with NM-applet not showing up. [13:02] it shows on my gf's account tho. [13:02] so I'm thinking it's some local user config issue. [13:03] I can obviously provide the error message if anyone cares to help out :) [13:03] Paddy_EIRE, yeah and also java path.. and it says "looks like correct path"... but doesn't work [13:03] BlueEagle, the router is a router/firewall, however, i thought maybe using a PC as a firewall would be a better idea? [13:03] hi, anyone know a way to have a command start on login with a delay so you can cancel if desired? [13:03] imachine: there's a thread about the applet in the Ubuntu forum [13:03] yeh i didnt set it up it was set up bymy server providers [13:03] Flannel, [13:03] bonjour [13:03] Tefx: That's really not very functional at all. Yeah, go ahead and remove the .bak I suppose. [13:03] adieu [13:04] TecR0c: That depends on what features are availible on the router/firewall you already have. I'm not sure how well upnp is supported in linux or how difficult it is to set up. [13:04] saywot, could you care to point me at the right direction ? [13:04] is there any way i can increase the size [13:04] carmen [13:04] Flannel: see them [13:04] in a partioner [13:04] hola [13:04] icesword: see them [13:04] hello [13:04] RenatoSilva, its offtopic [13:04] Tefx: Are they on LVM?

[13:05] BlueEagle, i have a netgear adsl firewall router [13:05] hola [13:05] !es | usuario [13:05] ppl i'm trying to boot ubuntu for the first time. but i keep getting "sda1 does not exist" dropping to a sheel [13:05] french or england? [13:06] saywot, ok got it [13:06] and the firewall configuration seems to be a little limited. [13:06] imachine; http://ubuntuforums.org/forumdisplay.php?f=336 [13:06] i changed the menu.lst and fstab to include sda1 [13:06] but still no luck [13:06] adios [13:06] bye [13:06] Do you think it would be best to go setup smoothwall or something like that ? === ^wotr^biomass is now known as biomass [13:06] TecR0c: Well, what I would look for in a dedicated router/firewall was the ability set up nat, a dmz-server and upnp. [13:07] ubutu sees the first partition on the first pata disk as sda1 right ? [13:07] livebrain: Not always [13:07] flannel i havent managed to get all of the dis-upgrade but here wat my puty window didnt eat http://paste.ubuntu.com/85112/ [13:07] livebrain: Wait, for pata that might be correct. [13:07] what's the diff between xubuntu and ubuntu ? [13:07] Flannel, * [13:08] !xfce | quicksilver_ [13:08] quicksilver_: Xubuntu is Ubuntu with Xfce instead of !GNOME. More info at http://www.xubuntu.org and http://wiki.ubuntu.com/Xubuntu/ - To install from Ubuntu: « sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop » - Join #xubuntu for support - See also: !Ubuntu and !Xubuntu-Channels [13:08] quizme, ^^ [13:08] and sda1 in grub is hd0,0 right ? [13:08] livebrain: But it might depend on the boot order set in your bios if you have a mixed pata/sata setup. Also grub gets confused really quick when you've got such a setup. [13:08] sayyeah I got it man ta [13:08] the 'sd' part of sda1 stands for "scsi disc" I believe. if your controller doesn't register as a scsi device, it'll be hda1 [13:08] apt-get install gaim <--- is that right ? [13:08] quizme, pidgin [13:08] Tefx: so, did you dist-upgrade again and it worked fine? [13:08] BlueEagle, it does do UPNP and it talks about default dmz server which i am not sure what it does? [13:09] i used slackware as an livecd [13:09] and in slack it shows the disk as hda [13:09] i didnt cancel it out [13:09] apt-get install pidgin ? [13:09] quizme, gaim is no longer... it became pidgin [13:09] i left it ru nign iw asent gunan kill it on initrd from bad experiances of doign that o n my home system [13:09] quizme... you aren't using ubuntu, are you [13:09] when i have mo cotnrol over the solid thing [13:10] livebrain: ie. some broken bioses report the pata disk as the first disk even if you're not booting from it and it seems like grub assumes that it's on the disk the bios reports as the first one. [13:10] how do i install a *.deb file ? [13:10] !install [13:10] Ubuntu can be installed in a lot of ways. Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation for documentation. Problems during install? See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CommonProblemsInstall. Don't want to use a CD? Try http://tinyurl.com/3exghs - See also !automate [13:10] i wudnt have bean able to save it so left it runnign and freeed up the space [13:10] quizme, click it [13:10] paddy_eire: thanks! [13:10] TecR0c: A default dmz server is the one all trafic not blocked or redirected elsewhere (via nat or upnp and firewall) goes to. [13:11] quizme: apt uses apt-repositories. deb installs deb packages. I heavily suggest reading up some bit before trying to install applications that are not within your distributions repositories. your installation will last a lot longer if you take a bit of care. [13:11] this is an laptop [13:11] with only one disk [13:12] howto display a unicode character in gedit if the the number is given i.e. u+03B5? [13:12] TecR0c: ie, I've setup my lappy as the default dmz server and if I need some ports forwarded to me I just set that up in the router and I don't need to touch the dmz. [13:12] and changing hda1 or sda1 in menu.lst or fstab does nothing :X [13:12] still the same error [13:12] livebrain, what are you trying to do? [13:12] boot ubuntu for the first time [13:12] Tefx: One of the advantages of using a dmz server is that the router blocks (or should block) new connections from dmz to lan. [13:13] but it complains because sda1 does not exist [13:13] acdimalev: where can i read about that ? It's for install skype. I got the *.deb file from skype. [13:13] but it does [13:13] livebrain, the normal installation failed? [13:13] what is a usplash? [13:13] no, it all went fine during installation [13:13] nachohi88: usplash is responsible for putting up that pretty screen while ubuntu is booting [13:13] BlueEagle, sorry i missed what you said [13:13] first complained because of the uuid, coulnd find it === E-XtraCt is now known as XtraCt^eSr [13:14] then i changed from uuid to sda1 [13:14] quizme, oh... in that case, save the deb file somewhere safe (you will want to keep it around for a long time), then install it with dpkg... [13:14] now complains that it cant find sda1 [13:14] Flannel, right apts workign proeprly again but still gettign an error on dtc http://paste.ubuntu.com/85117/ and its saying it needs extra repos but isnt pullign them automaticly [13:14] quizme: man dpkg, and look for -i [13:14] well im trying to change that pretty screen but i can't === XtraCt^eSr is now known as E-XtraCt [13:14] i use startup manager [13:15] livebrain, so after the installation, the boot from hard drive failed miserably. are you trying to set up any kind of dual-booting? [13:15] acdimalev: it's half way done installing.... [13:15] no [13:15] Tefx: Those would be packaging errors with your third party repositories. You'd probably be best off taking it up with them. [13:15] only ubuntu in this laptop [13:15] acdimalev: why use dpkg ? [13:16] quizme: at least the package works without any strange tweaks for you... they haven't bothered packaging it for 64-bit, so I had to repackage it myself :b [13:16] quizme: dpkg manages installation of deb files. apt uses dpkg [13:16] so anyone, what can be done about this networkmanager applet not showing up ? [13:16] any help ? [13:17] and the only way i have to install ubuntu is by pxe [13:17] it works on my other account. [13:17] no problems there. [13:17] same machine [13:17] hi to all, new to all this ? so I'll keep reading for now [13:17] acdimalev: i'm using 32 bit ubuntu 8.04. i'm too wimpy for 64 bit [13:17] livebrain, you're doing a pxe installation???? [13:17] and now i have to boot slackware also by pxe chroot and then try no figure out the problem [13:17] :X [13:17] livebrain, sorry man, but that sucks [13:17] where i can find programs for ubuntu [13:17] cdrom is broken [13:18] quizme, too wimpy? [13:18] quizme: some apps don't work well on 64 bit, and i don't want to deal with it. [13:19] i have in the menu.lst this: root (hd0,0) [13:19] quizme, my experience is that most all applications work very well, but there is a lot of misunderstanding regarding 64-bit linux, so I understand [13:19] and then (..) root=/dev/sda1 [13:20] so why does ubuntu complains about not seeing sda1 ? [13:20] blkid even shows the uuid and the device [13:21] in mandriva there is a cool desktop switch that rotates the desktop like a cube. do they have that in ubuntu ? [13:21] ubuntu 8.10, mplayer hangs on terminal, any help? [13:22] acdimalev: what do u mean by a lot of misunderstanding ? [13:22] quizme, of the two really popular eye-candy X desktops, ubuntu uses the other one [13:22] quizme, yep its called compiz-fusion [13:22] !ccsm | quizme [13:22] quizme: 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 [13:22] i just ran out of room on my ubuntu partition (11 GB out of 80 on my ubuntu eee) what options do i have (can i grow my partition -- how do i do a 'treesize' graphical du to see where all this space is? [13:23] quizme, I have heard success stories of getting the one you are thinking of to work, but my understanding is that it can be very glitchy [13:23] acdimalev oh... :~( [13:23] quizme, two things that most people get all confused about... first is that you don't need a 64-bit application to run under 64-bit linux... Intel's old 64-bit processors required 64-bit code, but that died out [13:24] if i can resize my ubuntu partition -- how do i do it?\ [13:24] hi sll [13:24] a [13:25] acdimalev: wahts the 2nd thing? [13:25] howto display a unicode character in gedit if the the number is given i.e. u+03B5? [13:25] quizme, the second thing is that 32-bit applications can only use 32-bit libraries... the debian family only packages a handful of those libraries, so if anything else is used, they really should be distributing those libraries with the application [13:25] Can I assign a tty to a video card and display a bash shell to that screen to use irssi? [13:25] hardware questions are ok too? [13:25] is this an african os? [13:26] nrb not really, but the name comes from there because of it's meaning === mr is now known as Guest31372 [13:26] icqnumber, ctrl+shift+u 03b5 [13:27] does anyone know, if I have a PICe 1.0 card and PCIe16 slot would it work despite the extra room or not? [13:27] Anyone Here have any exp with Nepenthes? [13:27] acdimalev, for example, i heard that you have to jump through hoops just to get 64 bit mysql installed. [13:27] okay I think I fixed the thing with nm-applet on 8.10 [13:28] I'll post on lanchpad [13:28] hmm… is it more "nifty" to connect via SSL or IPv6… [13:28] acdimalev, thank you [13:29] imachine, "the thing with nm-applet" [13:29] Hello , where i can find programs to work in ubuntu , i'm new to ubuntu [13:29] quizme: that's not true... [13:29] wsco, applications [13:30] wsco: you should obtain all your programs from the repositories using Add/Remove Programs or System -> Administration -> Synaptic in your menus [13:30] !software > wsco [13:30] wsco, please see my private message [13:30] * istvan is waiting for some attention [13:30] quizme, I have mysql installed… I typed "apt-get install mysql" and it installed. [13:30] i'm just scared of 64bit [13:30] * jrib is waiting for istvan's question [13:30] acdimalev.... ok maybe it was an old post [13:31] hi [13:31] acdimalev, the thing I mentioned a few minutes ago. [13:31] https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager-applet/+bug/273860 this thing [13:31] jrib: thanks, I'm wondering if I can use a PICe 1.0 card in PCIe 16 slot. it fit,s but there's loads of room left [13:31] quizme: the only real issue that I can think of for desktop users at this point is the lack of a java plugin from sun, but 64 bit users can just use the icedea plugin [13:31] istvan: ask ##hardware [13:31] quizme, usually reports like that come in when somebody is using something experimental (like… debian unstable), or when somebody has installed a bunch of software incorrectly. [13:31] thanks [13:31] now there is only nvidia issues and we should be well okay on the run :-) [13:32] acdimalev: i heard Ruby's memory footprint is much larger with 64 bit too. [13:33] imachine, that looks nasty [13:33] quizme, knowing Ruby… probably. [13:33] quizme, I would expect it to nearly double [13:33] hi, i'm wondering what is the difference between 'cat file' and 'cat bom dia [13:34] does anyone know if a ubuntu live cd would be able to mount a software raid 0 oin xp pro? [13:34] tem algum brasileiro aqui? [13:34] !br | sidcley [13:34] sidcley: Por favor use #ubuntu-br para ajuda em português. Obrigado. [13:34] Koordin: nothing [13:35] Koordin, 1. the 'cat' application actually opens the file 2. bash opens the file and pipes it into 'cat' [13:35] "cat Koordin, unless you have cat installed with the setuid bit, which is not the default and would be very odd if you did, there is no effective difference. [13:36] Koordin: you get the same result but it isn't obtained in the same way [13:36] acdimalev: yes but there is difference between "cat file" and "cat file > file". i don't understand why the first command delete the content of file [13:36] Koordin, but, if for some reason you actually did have cat installed setuid, "cat file" would work for files that you don't have permission to where "cat < file" would not [13:37] ok [13:37] actually i was just wondering why does "cat file" delete the content of file [13:37] never read from and write to a file in the same command [13:37] it is bad practice and very difficult to tell what order the read/write will occur in [13:38] and thanks to copy on write, it can sometimes be extremely confusing [13:38] use a temporary file instead [13:38] acdimalev: i know, but this is just an exercise [13:38] wel, cat file), then file will be deleted [13:39] exit [13:39] cousteau: because it has nothing to read anymore ? [13:39] because the first time it writes to file it completely rewrites it [13:40] I notice that 8.04 has the 2.6.24 kernel will this be upgraded to the 2.6.25 kernel any time soon ? [13:40] cousteau: yes but why he doesn't write the content of file within it ? [13:40] can I trust ubuntu's use of an NTFS drive yet? [13:40] Hola gente :D [13:40] neil_d: No [13:41] is anyone aware of a utility to mount .vhd (virtual hard disk) in linux? [13:41] Koordin: I am surprised that you aren't losing the contents of the file on both commands. far as I am aware, the moment you point a redirect at a file, the contents of the file are destroyed, and then the individual commands are executed [13:41] * cousteau thought that .vhd were VHDL files [13:42] * dapper-daniel is searching someone using USBIP === Thuyner is now known as Djerkaf [13:42] array, if you look around, there are some notes on how to use a very odd mount command to perform a loop mount to a file with a given offset [13:42] Flannel: ahhh ok ..... just reading the docs for the highpoint RocketRAID that say they have a driver in the 2.6.25 kernel [13:42] acdimalev: actually "cat file > file" is not allowed by my shell [13:43] neil_d: thanks, i ended up finding something - i can run VHDmount in CrossOver :) [13:43] array, if you find a clean way to mount the contents of a hdd iso, please let me know :) [13:43] Koordin: not allowed? [13:43] neil_d: New Ubuntu versions are the times you get new kernel versions. Jaunty will have a newer one, for instance. [13:43] Any improvements to Intrepid since release? I'd like to convert my family PC from XP. I know hardy works perfectly but am considering Intrepid. Is it too early? have the "teething problems" been sorted? Thanks for your input. [13:44] acdimalev: "cat: toto: input file is output file" but i have not understand yet why the content of file is not rewritten when i do a "cat file" [13:44] So, I just realized, Ubuntu is the worst thing ever happening to me. But still, I want to test something else before going back to XP. I want a simple OS, that just works. And I want to be able to use some quick remote manegement program like xvnc4viewer. What should I try? [13:44] korogiannos, seems to be running fine for me. so long as your family PC isn't a laptop, I'd recommend it. [13:44] korogiannos: What are you looking to upgrade to Intrepid for? There's nothing wrong with sticking to Hardy until 2010 (or until something comes out in Ubuntu you absolutely need) [13:44] there's a way to cat file without deleting it [13:44] acdimalev: Thanks. anyone else? [13:44] korogiannos, even if it is a laptop, I'd recommend it, but I have had oddities with brining my computer out of hibernation at new locations with different wireless hotspots. it just isn't smart about it. === maciek is now known as Guest10917 [13:45] something like sh "cat file [13:45] Flannel: That's the main reason I'd stick. "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" [13:45] useful when you want to sed a file [13:45] cousteau: would 'tee' help [13:46] cousteau: i'm not trying to rewrite file, i'm just trying to understand the command "cat file" [13:46] couch [13:46] cousteau, not trying to be rude, but if somebody tells you that one end of a hammer is for banding nails in and the other is for plying nails out… would you really ask if there is any way to do both with a single side of the hammer? [13:46] couch [13:46] cat >> will append it [13:46] it's easy: cat Djerkaf: What sorts of problems has Ubuntu been giving you? [13:46] cat >file: delete file and write the output of the previous command [13:47] yes [13:47] and the output of the previous command should be the content of file ? [13:47] cousteau I am not awake and just got here but here is a basic command I use example.. lsb_release -a > ~/Desktop/Ubuntu_Version_Info.txt && cat /home/$USER/Desktop/Ubuntu_Version_Info.txt [13:47] so if you delete 'file' then when you 'cat Koordin, where you aren't understanding this is that pipes and redirection get handled before anything is actually executed [13:47] ok [13:48] hi guys [13:48] may i ask a question plz? [13:48] Djerkaf: Because I switched over a week ago from Win XP; and sure, it took me the better part of the week to get everything tweaked, but ealmost everything is working quite well now. [13:48] cousteau >> appends and does not overwrite what is there [13:48] anyone know how to print on a Dell inkJet 928 ? I'm connecting throw samba [13:48] i have problem with my wireless [13:48] so you are destroying the file for writing before the cammands you are trying to run actually read the file in [13:48] so it opens and deletes file before doing "cat anyone? :( [13:48] !ask [13:48] Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily).

[13:54] Hi guys, when i try to install fglrx drivers i have several options:dkms-fglrx, x11-driver-video-fglrx, fglrx-(kernel version), which one of this is really a kernel driver, and what are which one of this for?; anybody knows about this?

[13:54] Question: How can i disable Alt+Drag window movement? [13:54] !nvidia > catmando_ [13:54] catmando_, please see my private message [13:55] acdimalev: where data partition is a third that sits between the os's [13:55] Nith I keep a fat32 around [13:55] Leefmc: system -> preferences -> window will let you change alt to super or ctrl [13:55] Nith It does not matter where it is, it will be fine, while you are creating partitions, add a seperate one for /home [13:55] Nith, I personally copy files between my NTFS and ext3 partitions. [13:55] jrib: Ah thank you. It was driving me nuts.. it wasn't listed under keyboard shortcuts.. heh [13:55] Is there some quick way to reset Ubuntu, so everything is like after a fresh installation? [13:55] hi all, I need some help configuring remote access for mysql on ubuntu 7.04, I'm editing /etc/mysql/my.cnf ... an online guide says I should add the line "bind-address=YOUR-SERVER-IP".... is the IP meant to be the IP of the machine that has mysql running on it ? or the client machine that will access the mysql db remotely ? thanks [13:56] Djerkaf: what told you to reboot? Anyway, System->Preferences-Screen Resolution [13:56] acdimalev yes, but that requires the extfs driver in windows.. [13:56] Djerkaf: if you just want to reset your user's configurations, create a new user [13:56] jrib: Ouch.. can i disable that somehow? I dont want ANY functionality like that heh. [13:56] it says "New restrictued drivers in use. In order for this computer to function properly, Ubuntu is using driver software that cannot be supported by Ubuntu. <--- what's does "cannot be supported by Ubuntu" mean ? [13:56] Jack_Sparrow, no, I mean that I do all my copying from Linux [13:57] Leefmc: not that I know of. Check metacity keys in gconf-editor and look at metacity's source depending on how badly you want to do that [13:57] i just enabled my video card's driver to be enabled... one downloaded from ATI Radeon [13:57] hola [13:57] jrib: See modifier+drag is very useful in 3D (Rotating/Moving/Zooming/etc) and having the inability to use one of those is a huge limiting factor. [13:57] sladen: I set my TV as second screen, and I was told to reboot [13:57] Leefmc: super is probably free though [13:57] sladen: The screen resolution "window" doesn't do anything for me. [13:57] acdimalev How does that help in sharing files to our windows os? [13:57] jrib: Ugh.. i hate when there are design decisions to force "ideas" onto people. [13:57] alguien habla español?? [13:57] !es | Roberto2 [13:57] Roberto2: En la mayoría de canales Ubuntu se comunica en inglés. Para ayuda en Español, por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es o #kubuntu-es. [13:58] jrib: Well, it wouldn't be if i had the ability to use it, but gnome isn't letting me use it apparently. Feels like windows deciding whats best for me :o [13:58] trying to connect via IPv6… this should be interesting. [13:58] Anyone know how to install vista after linux and not destroy the bootloader? [13:58] Djerkaf: do you still have the TV plugged in? [13:58] Leefmc: I assume if you put something random into /apps/metacity/general/mouse_button_modifier you might get the desired effect [13:58] sladen: No. [13:58] DCC SEND "ffɦʞɔfɟ" 0 0 0 [13:58] Ace2016 ou cant... but easy enough to fix [13:58] jrib: I'll take a look, thanks [13:59] Djerkaf: have you rebooted since unplugging the TV [13:59] sladen: Yes. [13:59] sladen: Have tried to change drivers, but no change. [13:59] Djerkaf: have you clicked "detect displays" [13:59] i thought i read somewhere that vista didn't nuke the mbr when you install it [13:59] sladen: Yes. [13:59] Jack_Sparrow: I intend to mount this middle partition as my /home and in windows, as my "My Documents"... so if I'm reading and writing alot then fat32 sounds like the better choice, no? [13:59] Djerkaf: oh right. what have you tried to change it to? [14:00] Nith you cant use fat32 for home [14:00] hah, nice. /whois acdimalev [14:00] sladen: I'm not at that computer now, but I set it to some Ati Radeon thingie, because I found out that is what's inside the computer. [14:00] how do I access teh pulseaudio control panel in intrepid? in hardy, when I started pa, there was an icon in the systray but now I don't see much. [14:01] hoonteke: is paprefs what you want? [14:01] Djerkaf: try sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg -phigh which will ask it to run the driver autodetection again [14:01] Jack_Sparrow: "sorry, as the "Documents" folder in my /home... I keep my /home for settings and temp files only [14:01] Ace2016: was this perhaps an MS blog? I'll bet Vista plays nice with other MS products [14:01] Nith ntfs for our windows, a fat32, two ext3 one for root and one for home plus a last couple gig for swap which probably wont get used much [14:01] oh [14:01] sladen: I did try that... [14:01] sladen: But, then my keyboard stopped working completely [14:02] jrib: perhaps, but ... I dont' see it on my system [14:02] is that an extra package I have to install? [14:02] sladen: So I guess I have to reinstall. But then I want to try something different... [14:02] hoonteke: yes [14:02] Jack_Sparrow: ok, I'll use a similar structure. Thanks :) [14:02] np [14:02] and yet it has just occurred to me… if I am connected via IPv6, I'm not going to be able to direct-connect to anybody on IPv4, huh. [14:02] Djerkaf: try it without the '-phigh' and you will be given an option to confirm each step in the autodetction (such as selecting a different keyboard) [14:02] sladen: I'm not sure that's true anymore [14:03] jrib: what isn't true [14:03] jrib: ah, that's more of what I want, but I'm want the screen that lets me redirect already playing streams [14:03] sladen: I forgot this part before I asked my question here. After rebooting the last time, - after the reconfiguring, the keyboard didn't work, and therefor I couldn't login :( I fucked it up. [14:03] hoonteke: don't know then. Figure out what the command was on hardy [14:04] sladen: But, is there some OS I should try, that is more user friendly than Ubuntu...? [14:04] sladen dpkg-reconfigure is different in intrepid than previous versions of ubuntu [14:04] Djerkaf offtopic [14:04] sladen: that dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg will offer you those configuration options you are mentioning [14:04] Djerkaf: reboot, select "(single user mode)" from the boot list and enter the reconfiguration here [14:04] #polska [14:05] sladen: I'll try that. Thanks. [14:05] Djerkaf, u can try OpenSUSE, but Ubuntu is pretty good I think. And of course OS X, it's pretty cool. [14:05] join #polska [14:05] Hey guys. [14:05] !ot > botanicus [14:05] botanicus, please see my private message [14:05] cat: /aber/jqh8/irssi/ascii/dcc.txt: No such file or directory [14:05] I have problem with sound in 8.10 [14:06] not-op-bot: huh? [14:06] jrib: perhaps you should try running that command yourself before making statements about what it does or doesn't do (hint, it won't break your system as it'll be reconfirming the settings you already have) [14:06] Jack_Sparrow, he was asking, I just reply. [14:06] oops jrib [14:06] something broke [14:06] botanicus I told him he was offtopic when he asked which should have been a clue to not answer that line of questioning [14:06] Permissions are OK, I guess some drivers are missing. Any ideas? [14:07] sladen we have many times.. and I think we know it better than you do [14:07] Jack_Sparrow, OK, sorry [14:07] when will be a Jaunty LiveCD out? [14:07] people need help [14:07] cousteau 9.04 [14:07] my uplashes doesn't load [14:07] sladen: ok, I just did. Now you try. See if it offers the option to select a video driver [14:08] tried everithing [14:08] jrib: padevchooser is what I was looking for. But weird, I wonder why the pa team has decided to split up pa into so many packages and not install them per default? huh [14:08] i mean, not the final one, but an alpha or beta [14:08] not even with startup manager [14:08] cousteau /j #Ubuntu+1 for that [14:09] ok [14:09] any idea? [14:10] nachohi88 please tr patience and wait for an answer and ou need to form a better question with info about what you did other than I did everything.. [14:10] hoonteke: probably because most people won't use that functionality I guess [14:10] i don't idea [14:10] hey just have a look at this and tell me what do u think about this.... [14:11] jrib: agreed, it does no longer present the video driver upgrade (it should however (hopefully) fix djerkaf's keyboard issue) [14:11] ok [14:12] quick question people, trying to install ubuntu intrepid server onto my server, but my cd-rom is gone, so i was trying to do it from a usb, but it complains about my cd-rom, so i can't install it, any tips? [14:13] sladen: configuration for the keyboard no longer happens in xorg.conf and settings there will be ignored without the server flag. I think 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure console-setup' reconfigures that stuff though [14:13] ascii_ how did you put it onto the usb [14:13] ok i use startup manager so to change the uplash but any of the new ones doen't work... just the original one [14:13] download the cd image, mount it and install from it [14:13] Jack_Sparrow, used unetbootin.. [14:13] the alternate cd iso [14:13] s/server flag/proper server flag [14:13] !usb [14:13] For information about installing Ubuntu from USB flash drives, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick - For a persistent live USB install, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent [14:14] ..ok, forget about what I said, I was thinking on upgrading [14:14] Jack_Sparrow, that was how i did it.. [14:14] k [14:15] but when i boot and start installing, it's complaining about missing cd-rom(prob because it needs the files), but those are on the usb.. [14:15] Just a question: Is there a better power management for a Dell insp 1501 on Ubuntu Hardy ? [14:15] ascii_ I had a script somewhere for iso2usb that worked on earlier versions.. [14:17] ascii_ Not sure if this will help bt... Make an iso on usb bootable http://jak-linux.org/tmp/iso2usb.sh === hfsdo_ is now known as hfsdo [14:17] i think i'm going mad [14:17] how does Ubuntu handle "non-free" packages? [14:18] Jack_Sparrow, i'll give it a go, thanks :) [14:18] why isn't sudo /etc/init.d/gmd stop, followed by restarting x drop me to the command line? [14:18] i'm just wondering if it's going to stay sitting on my system if I refuse to pay during the install, etc [14:19] I hope you'r joking :)) [14:19] Lasiv There will be no request to pay ... cute [14:19] Lasiv: you're using the wrong definition of "free" [14:19] !free | Lasiv [14:19] Lasiv: freedom is important. Ubuntu is as free as we can make it, which means mostly free software. See http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html and http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/licensing [14:19] vac: i'm just being cautious [14:19] I need "unrar" and I have a free and a non-free version [14:20] Lasiv: that's non-Free as in Free (what a lot folks think of as open source) [14:20] questions before doing something = good :) [14:20] Look at Ubottu... :) [14:20] Lasiv ou can safely get the non-free and be charged [14:20] Jack_Sparrow: eh? [14:20] hmm [14:20] jrib Morning... [14:20] Jack_Sparrow: I assume that's a typo [14:20] yes.. [14:20] k [14:21] thanks [14:21] sorry have to go...

[14:50] gaelfx1 have you added or changed any of your sources? [14:50] guyarye: sounds like you will have to edit the config file or do a complete reinstall [14:50] Jack_Sparrow: not recently enough for that to be the cause [14:50] gaelfx1 I would start by sudo apt-get update and see if that helps [14:50] Jack_Sparrow: that's the error that update gives :S [14:51] gaelfx1 then take a look at sources, something in there is the prob [14:51] where do I add my resolutions to my xorg.conf? none were added by default.

I'm sure the latest v4l update broke the IR-receiver ... :-( [15:03] ksbalaji, use sudo [15:03] jack: error keeps repeating [15:03] !sudo | ksbalaji [15:03] ksbalaji: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (Gnome, XFCE), or !kdesudo (KDE) [15:03] Jack_Sparrow; i didnt get u?? [15:03] no ardchoille, it's what pops up when i press the volume up/down button on my laptop [15:03] atb101010 Is this a dell or hp computer? [15:04] IdleOne, I know I can use sudo. But how to get that privilege for myself? [15:04] hi.. :) how to install same files in another pc..that i got from Aptitude install -d ? im not good at linux so i want a simple way ;\ [15:04] DarkKnight Simply put, please dont do that in here === russell__ is now known as triphoppa [15:04] jack_Sparrow: building my own system from scratch [15:04] ksbalaji, sudo is how you get the priv. [15:04] atb101010: i had the same problem. it's a bug in the kernel version the installer uses [15:04] andresmh: Hmm.. I don't know about that icon, but I know the volume icon in the panel changes with the icon theme: http://ardchoille.nfshost.com/temp/scr-20081209.png [15:04] !clone > webas [15:04] webas, please see my private message [15:05] gigabyte ga-ex58 mobo, corei7 920 [15:05] andresmh: Try asking in the Mac4Lin thread I posted to you earlier [15:05] ksbalaji : you could change it, but I'd prefer it sudo (safer) [15:05] atb101010 there are many command line modifiers that may help... [15:05] Tefx: what will happen if you try to remove dtc-commin? [15:05] Jack_Sparrow; ha...u still understand what I was saying or that I didnt get wat u r saying.......i just wanted 2 get feedback and know what improvements i could do... [15:05] Jack_Sparrow: Buzzzz: I tried autoclean, but still the same error, always, any other ideas about how to fix? [15:05] Tefx: what will happen if you try to remove dtc-common? [15:05] aptitude --disable-columns --display-format '%p' search '?installed!?automatic' idleone this command doesnt work :| [15:05] !ubotu xvidcap [15:05] IdleOne, the problem is, when I use sudo to mount, the files inside iso mounted folder are not easily accessible for my use. [15:05] Sorry, I don't know anything about ubotu xvidcap [15:05] DarkKnight and I told you NOT to do it in here.. [15:05] !xvidcap [15:05] Sorry, I don't know anything about xvidcap [15:05] !recordmydesktop [15:05] Sorry, I don't know anything about recordmydesktop [15:05] Jack_Sparrow; ok tell me where i can do it [15:05] gaelfx1: what was teh problem again :) ? [15:05] !anything [15:05] guys I've heard that my loss of my dvd drive might have something to do with me using the 64bit version. If I decide to use the 32 bit version and I'm using wubi will I pretty much be starting from zero? I hate to think that all the tweaks I've done will be lost. [15:05] So, you wanted to lure me into saying I don't know anything about anything? Yeah, that would be funny, of course. Now leave me alone. [15:06] dtc-common isnt on anymroe [15:06] lol [15:06] lol [15:06] that got purged remove last [15:06] Buzzzz: haha, that's ok: http://pastebin.com/d9724d9b [15:06] gotta love the bot :) [15:06] IdleOne, DasEi I find permissions problem after using sudo to mount. [15:06] this is probably an easy fix, xfmedia player wont play audio/video, audacious wont play audio, but totem is working fine. [15:06] hi! do someone has experience on drawing random wallpapers with a script (from sdlBasic, Shoebot, etc.), and using cron for updating them? i'm having problems with it... [15:06] atb101010: i had the same problem. it's a bug in the kernel version the installer uses. there is no way that i know to fix that. i tried forwards, backwards, upwards, sideways... etc. but i did manage to get ubuntu installed thanks to LjL on here! [15:06] Hi there [15:07] DarkKnight look at the other ubuntu channels and find an appropriate channel .. -server or -chat -offtopic, but even then they may say no.. [15:07] gaelfx1: you are using sudo rigt? [15:07] WASSSSSUPPP!!!! [15:07] what string line command will bring my dvd back to life? [15:07] Buzzzz: yep, I learned that one a long time ago :D [15:07] onetinsoldier: can you give me some tips? [15:07] Buzzzz note that he is logged in as root when he does that [15:07] Jack_Sparrow; thanq [15:07] IdleOne, DasEi for example, Totem says I cannot open a certain file - you do not have permissions! it says. [15:07] ksbalaji:change permission of folder it's to, see man chown or man chmod [15:07] atb101010: do you have a usb memory stick? [15:08] onetinsoldier: i might [15:08] ksbalaji:is it your cdrom ? [15:08] gaelfx1: tried this? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=332671 [15:08] DasEi, it is a iso image file of a DVD movie. === jhthjrjh is now known as mann26 [15:08] I have an Inspiron 1525n with and a HP Color LaserJet with network and memory card slot. It is possible to access the memory card via cifs through the network. On a Kubuntu 8.10 this works fine, but the Ubuntu 8.10 I'm on here causes some problems: I can mount the memory card via nautilus but when I open an image, Eye of Gnome tells me "Invalid Argument". And then the card is no longer accessible as soon as I haven't remountet it.. [15:08] ksbalaji:where did you mount it ? [15:09] atb101010 here are some of the modifiers.. noapic acpi=off, pci=irqroute, xmodule=vesa, vga=normal, vga=771, vga=791, pci=irqroute, framebuffer=false, ide=nodma, nomce, pnpbios=off, xdrvr=vesa, res=800x600, apm=off,pci=noapci, nolapic, all_generic_ide, nolapic, pci=assign-busses, pci=irqpoll, pci=biosirq, pnpbios=off, hpet=disable, xmodule=vesa, vga=normal, vga=771, pci=irqroute, framebuffer=false, pci=nomsi [15:09] quit [15:09] http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?forum_name=gnome-schedule-users&max_rows=25&style=ultimate&viewmonth=200812&viewday=13 [15:09] DasEi, I mounted it on a directory under my home folder. Still I have problem using sudo. [15:09] When I mount it with the mount command it works fine, but I don't want to mount it always again. Nautilus mounts it via gvfs. [15:09] nitrofurano Please dont post a link without a description [15:10] ksbalaji:sudo chown ksbalaji /path/mounted , assuming username and path (gotta change it according to your environment) [15:10] I have one partition of windows named c:. I want to install Ubuntu, can I let LiveUbuntu partitioner create a new other partition for Ubuntu from that c: partition? [15:10] atb101010: you'll need it, and you'll have to use a utility called unetbootin it will write the installer onto the usb memory stick, and then make the stick 'bootable'. you will then need to figure out how to set your BIOS to boot from the usb stick [15:10] Is it safe? [15:10] hello [15:10] sancho21 defrag your windows drive... twice.. first [15:10] sorry - it's about a doubt i'm having with cron and generative wallpapers - http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?forum_name=gnome-schedule-users&max_rows=25&style=ultimate&viewmonth=200812&viewday=13 [15:11] sancho21: how much free space is on c? [15:11] 70G [15:11] help please :) this is probably an easy fix, xfmedia player wont play audio/video, audacious wont play audio, but totem is working fine. im guessing i deleted something i needed, maybe part of xmms? [15:11] sancho21: defrag, then rezise, quite safe [15:11] DasEi, thanks. But how to have privilege of using mount for myself please? [15:11] I have both gnome and kde installed, and for some reason, kde is using gnome window decorations (usingn gtk-window-decorator). What gives? [15:11] gaelfx1: or this http://www.linuxforums.org/forum/debian-linux-help/51937-aptitude-problem-problem-mergelist.html. thou it sounds abit dangerous to try [15:11] hi [15:11] sancho21 I still prefer partition magin for editing ntfs partitions [15:11] onetinesoldier: thanks will look into that... [15:12] Jack_Sparrow, what do u mean? [15:12] partition magic? [15:12] sancho21 I still prefer partition magic for editing/shrinking windows-ntfs partitions [15:12] I don't have one [15:12] DasEi, resize using Ubuntu partitioner during Ubuntu installation? [15:12] Buzzzz: looking into it, thanks for the help with your googlefu [15:12] uh about my DVD issue ...I can reboot and the drive will open and close, but as soon as I try to run a disk in it, it goes black and will not even open. I'm using the 64bit version of 8.10 and I read a thread that says it might have something to do with my 64bit version. I'm pretty sure there is a string line command that can "speak" to my dvd drive, but I'm do not know what it mght be. Could someone give a few things to try??? [15:12] onetinesoldier: btw is there a way to reformat my hard drives from the bios and start from scratch all over again [15:13] atb101010: you're welcome [15:13] ksbalaji:I don't ge you , you want to mount as normal user ? I can't recommend - would have to add user to group mount [15:13] atb101010: hmmm, i don't think so, not that i know of. [15:13] I have a Vista partition with music, now I could play from there with totem and Rhytmbox but now I can't anymore :s, it loads the playlist, loads the file, but doens't play, Audacity says when I try to play something there there is a 'error loading sound device, check the output-settings of the device', the sound when I login works fine, youtube etc works fine too, I've fucked up something but what? [15:14] how t.f. do I make a user on the local machine able to shut it down when multiple users are logged in, without giving a password?? [15:14] language man please [15:14] sancho21: when running installer, it will suggest that, or could also use gparted from live cd [15:14] gaelfx1: ok. if you solve it please send a mess. [15:14] sancho21 the ubuntu installer is excellent, but there is no accounting for what problems may already be on your windows partition, So have a backup of anything you cannot afford to lose [15:14] hello# [15:14] Thanks [15:15] !language > timoma [15:15] timoma, please see my private message [15:15] zabbadapp: If the user is logged in via GDM they can do it by default [15:15] onetinsoldier: you can change partitions from bios , you should use a boot disk of some sort [15:15] DasEi, thanks for the group mount - advise. I shall use it cautiously. [15:15] onetinsoldier: soory that should read cant [15:15] zabbadapp Obfuscated swearing is still swearing. we dont accept it of our users.. Please keep the room family friendly [15:15] sorry IdleOne [15:15] ksbalaji:why don't you simply mount with sudo ? [15:16] hello [15:16] anyone? [15:17] timoma: the partition is mounted? [15:17] anyone, anyone? [15:17] yeah [15:17] Buzzzz: well, you were right about it seeming dangerous, but rm-ing the lists did the trick [15:17] Buzzzz: I think the problem is that things never download properly in China [15:17] gaelfx1: cool :) [15:17] Buzzzz: thanks much man! [15:17] DasEi, as i said, I have problems using the files inside mounted image folders - permission problem every time. I thought it would be better to have the privilege to use mount. Now I think of using chown,chmod. Thanks. [15:18] Jordan_U: sorry, well the user "htpc" is logged in automatically via GDM and has the default group "mythtv". I have added it in the policy to be able to turn off with multiple users. Still get the passwd window if a second user is logged in via NX. [15:18] timoma: can you play any mp3s? [15:18] ksbalaji:if this are permanent mounts, think of taking them in fstab and then allow user access by default [15:18] should ubuntu see a windows home edition partition? [15:18] If there is a different channel that might be better suited to help me with my CD/DVD issue I'll gladly try it, but I don't where to go. I asked about his issue last night and never got a response and I really need some help. [15:18] Jordan_U: (but it does work if none is logged in via NX) [15:19] ksbalaji What about setting the mask in fstab for those mounted partitons [15:19] nspyr: yes [15:19] RatPackSopra #alsa is good for sound [15:19] Hellow [15:19] Jack_Sparrow, THANK YOU [15:19] DasEi: just automatically?

[15:20] even when I put a cd in my drive it shows the songs, but isn't able to play them [15:20] I have problems trying to install themes. All the packets I download are rejected "No valid theme", also when I try to open them with Fileroller I get an error "NULL", all are gz format. Please any idea???? [15:20] nspyr: if they are not listed in fstab, they won't automount, in terminal do : sudo fdisk -l to list all partis [15:20] Jordan_U: (I should also say that I have no experience with the policy editor what so ever) === vG|XtraCt is now known as E-XtraCt [15:20] nspyr: graphically you could watch em with gparted [15:21] Should I install something else in order for fileroller to understand GZIP files or what???

[15:31] BoogieBoo, honey catches more flies than vinegar [15:31] Jack_Sparrow, that's why I asked the fileroller issue === progex is now known as TxRx [15:31] Is it possible to roll back an update? I think the last v4l update broke my T-500 dvb IR-receiver (because it works if I boot the 8.10 iso from usb, "try-before-you-install"-style). [15:31] Buzzzz: thanks for the responce! [15:32] bazhang, what??? [15:32] timoma: worked? [15:32] Buzzzz, thanks! it works! [15:32] I am not sure whether I encrypted that drive with truecrypt or not. [15:32] BoogieBoo But ou clouded the question by bringing up themes not working... run fileroller from cli and look for an error [15:32] timoma: mp3s and such are starnge some times [15:32] BoogieBoo, we are volunteers. no need for the ???? multiple question marks and exclamation points.

[15:32] phuz my sources.list http://pastie.org/338872 [15:32] timoma: one shouldnt need to rebbot [15:32] I can not mount that drive. What can I do?

I have a question about it [15:33] BoogieBoo, many themes are poorly written and you need to follow the instructions where they come from [15:33] Buzzzz: is that something i should have already had installed? [15:33] maybe totem etc didn't shutdown properly before I loaded them again, but whatever, it works now, thats most important [15:33] BoogieBoo, more than 15, likely 150 are not well written. [15:33] Jack_Sparrow, please tell me about setting the mask in fstab for the mountpoint - inside my home folder. === serg is now known as mrbrain [15:33] exitman: well you need to say how you are trying to mount it and what happens when you do try === mrbrain is now known as mr [15:34] I understood that the themes could be not well written, ok; BUT why I can't extract the gz files either?

I dont even know if man mask will show anything about it.. [15:35] got it, sorry. Earlier versions of conduit (0.3.6) allowed it to sync between evolution and google calendar. New version doesn't list GCal as one of the data providers. Anyone know why or how I can get it working again with evolution's calendar? [15:36] exitman, it say wrong fs type [15:36] churl: avi files could be many different formats..

[15:37] churl: ok.did you install the restricted formats? [15:37] Buzzzz: the only thing i can think is that i installed xmms and deleted it, might that mess up audicious? [15:38] hello i have a SIS Mirage3 graphic card on my packard bell laptop [15:38] Buzzzz: yep [15:38] exitman: mount -t ext3 should be mount -t ntfs [15:38] exitman, the partition ur trying to mount is not ext3 [15:38] i ve tried a lot but anthing worked [15:38] exitman: maybe file -s /dev/sdd1 can tell you the filesystem type [15:38] what can i do [15:38] now [15:38] churl: which gstreamer packages do you have installed [15:38] Buzzzz: how do i check [15:38] Usually this channel used to be polite.

New version doesn't list GCal as one of the data providers. Anyone know why or how I can get it working again with evolution's calendar? Thanks in advance.

[15:41] john47, perhaps not [15:41] IdleOne: good thought, thx, I'll try [15:41] Buzzzz: .10 libs and other stuff | will do [15:41] john47, it is empty [15:41] https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/meta-gnome2/+bug/251730 <-- I get this bug, but the last activity on this bug is from august... this seems pretty severe as it's an LTS release [15:41] IdleOne: oh, doh, thx. [15:41] ardchoille: My hardware is SIS Mirage3 [15:41] churl: and the bad and ugly omes? [15:41] ones [15:42] IdleOne: That just shows you how flawless Evolution is! lol [15:42] john47, lol [15:42] ardchoille: There is nothing written in my Xorg.conf [15:42] onetinsoldier: I can't remember. I used truecrypt extensively in the past. I only use one password always. But it doesn't work. [15:42] qwerty1: that is normal, the new xorg config is pretty bare [15:42] Buzzzz: not all the packages with bad or ulgy but some [15:42] ardchoille: I can't even use VESA [15:43] bye. Long live Ubuntu and apples (apple?) [15:43] churl: got gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly ? [15:43] ardchoille: It will be enough for me to use VESA [15:43] What does: root@twister-desktop:~# file -s /dev/sdd1 [15:43] /dev/sdd1: data [15:43] tell me? That the partition is not encrypted? [15:44] Buzzzz: yes sir [15:44] exitman: it just tells you that file isn't able to determine the filesystem of that partition [15:44] qwerty1: I'm actually not able to help with that [15:44] Anyone familliar with Ideazon's "Zboard" ? [15:44] et32273: So is there any way I can find out whether it is a truecrypt encrypted partition? [15:45] churl: do you got liblame? [15:45] Buzzzz: one sec [15:45] exitman: so i guess it is encrypted, but i cannot help you with truecrypt. never used that. [15:45] bushwakko: that bug is marked as a duplicate , go to bug #216756 [15:45] exitman: well, if you did the file -s command as et32273 said, then it doesn't show anything for the filesystem type as he said.. it should look like this... [15:45] recon69: yes, I found it eventually, but still, the damn bug there isnt fixed either [15:45] I don't want to format the disk and then one minute later find a piece of paper where I took a note" don't format disk western digital xzy" [15:45] exitman: /dev/sda8: Linux rev 1.0 ext3 filesystem data (large files) [15:46] Buzzzz: didnt find liblame in synapic [15:46] recon69: they started in april and said "trivial bug" and put medium priority on it, and didnt fix it. now im here in december and cant install gnome on my server [15:46] hi.. [15:46] churl: you can try to add http://www.medibuntu.org/ repos for more media codecs [15:46] hi [15:46] exitman: yeah, i can't help with truecrypt either.. sorry [15:47] i'm newbie [15:47] :( [15:47] Buzzzz: if it helps, i can play mp3's with exaile just fine [15:47] please tell me more about this OS.. [15:47] clavinova, www.ubuntu.com [15:48] churl: ok. but not with audacious [15:48] clavinova, wiki.ubuntu.com [15:48] bushwakko: appears to be a workaround in the bug report, and it reported as fixed in intrepid , so progress is being made [15:48] how to test if apache2 works correctly? are there any tests? [15:48] Buzzzz: yep i think i messed something up, hence xfmedia player not working right anymore, [15:48] in indonesian? [15:48] hehehe [15:48] :D [15:48] recon69: should be fixed in the lts release though [15:49] Buzzzz: i was trying out different apps for a winamp like player, so i was installing and uninstalling lots of things [15:49] webas: open the web page on localhost is a simple test, put your ip address in as a web address in your browser [15:49] clavinova, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IndonesianTeam google is your friend :) [15:49] churl: try this install libxine-extracodecs [15:50] ok thanks for idleone..

[15:50] er address line [15:50] bushwakko: I agree, probably will be eventually as well. [15:51] ah yes.. [15:51] recon69: aye, still, 7 months is a little to long. anyway, I may actually just upgrade to intrepid [15:51] is ok put a dns server in te same machine as firewall?? [15:52] bushwakko: well, intrepid has it own unique bugs :) [15:52] recon69: any deal-breakeres I should know of? [15:52] churl: got libxine1-ffmpeg on your system?

Does it make anything better than it would be using Pidgin regularly? [16:00] churl: still running gutsy? [16:00] banteng: it really depends on what you like. "best" is subjective. what do you like to play ? [16:00] nope :( intrepid [16:00] ikonia: thanks. is there a graphical mount tool? i'm not much of an expert... [16:00] Buzzzz: no 8.10 [16:00] #PuntoTorrent [16:00] churl: ok try to comment out all gutsy related rows [16:00] funbitz1: for what your expecting, not really (that I'm aware of) [16:01] nibbler, I'm looking at the man pages and the -b option that's specifies the eltorito boot image, point to boot/grub/stage2_eltorito is that the file in my directory cd structure or the image in my /boot/grub ? [16:01] churl: "proposed" repos are discouraged [16:01] funbitz1: I know thats not what your looking for [16:01] churl: and do an apt-get update [16:01] Buzzzz: k [16:01] jpastore: no idea [16:01] funbitz1, there is gmountiso [16:01] funbitz1, Gmount-iso [16:01] :) [16:01] pkundu, sorry did you need me to direct those questions at you too? I know things go by quick on here =) [16:02] nibbler, k thanks anyways [16:02] churl: you should prob remove the proposed ones too [16:02] funbitz1, there is also a tray applet for GNOME that assists in mounting, as well [16:02] Buzzzz: so just add a "#" ? [16:03] churl: yes [16:03] velic1ty, allsystemsarego: ok, the exact command line: Gmound-iso "xxx.iso" ? [16:04] cars_: how do i find that? [16:04] Hi all. [16:04] funbitz1, it's a GUI app [16:04] aaaa [16:04] sorry [16:04] hi. i have a creative zen 16 GB. When plugged in, lsusb reports it as 041e:4157. But gnomad, kzenexplorer and amarok fail to see it. Any clues on what might be missing? [16:04] funbitz1, apt-get install Gmount-iso [16:05] How does one open xchat-2.8.0.tar.bz2 file? [16:05] ruadh: it's a compressed archive [16:05] how can i listen to DRM files in ubuntu? [16:05] funbitz1, apt-get install gmountiso [16:05] ruadh: if you don't know how to open it you shouldn't be trying to build it [16:05] ruadh: there some gui apps to open it, such a file-roller [16:05] idejmcd: drm is locked to a device [16:05] I have a possible bug associated with the 'fast user switch' applet. should I report this to the main ubuntu bug tracker or try to find a bug tracker for the applet itself? [16:06] ikonia: how do you mean? [16:06] ruadh: and then there is the 'tar' command for the command line [16:06] allsystemsarego: thanks a bunch :) [16:06] idejmcd: think the realplayer will play DRM files , but not ones you dont have access to [16:06] idejmcd: drm is normally locked to a device Eg: downloaded in itunes means you can only play it on your ipod/itunes on your laptop [16:06] funbitz1, assuming you're running gnome, the widget can be found by right clicking the top panel and selecting add new widget... [16:06] hololight: are you using GlobalMenu? [16:07] Hi, does someone know why Eclipse 3.4 dont make it into ubuntu? and is there any DEB way to intall the 3.4 version [16:07] ikonia: i download audiobooks from audible.com, they come protected with DRM that can be playedin windows media or itunes. i know there's a way to strip the DRM but [16:07] Quick question, I have a port open in my router, and it says it's open when on windows..but on ubuntu it says it's closed. Any ideas? [16:07] php dosent seem to rlelise somthign its tryign to use is no longer in system and the program im tryign to isntall nwo isnt pullign the dpendancie how can i work around this [16:07] funbitz1, from there, select disk mounter and click add to panel [16:07] idejmcd: depends what the drm software is if you can play it in ubuntu [16:07] Buzzzz: updated! [16:07] idejmcd, try opening them in audacity [16:07] ardchoille: no [16:07] idejmcd: I'm not aware of the site you got them from so don't know [16:07] onetinsoldeier: How do I use the 'tar' command ? [16:07] churl: nice.. any difference? [16:08] idejmcd: but seeing as linux / open source isn't really into the spirit of drm , I doubt it will be built into many apps [16:08] idejmcd, those are .wav files renamed to a different extension [16:08] ruadh: man tar [16:08] ruadh: man tar - but you shouldn't be trying to build xchat from source if you don't know how to untar the package [16:08] ruadh: you'll cause more damage [16:08] brokenbyzero: what do you understand under an open port in a router? is it a nat-router and do you have a port forwarding? [16:08] ok [16:08] ikonia: you should read a guide about it on the internet.. but i will tell you a little about it. ok? [16:08] Buzzzz: still havnt added medibuntu the update didnt download anything (the source.list only needed 3 cases commented out) [16:08] onetinsoldier: a guide about what ? [16:09] in aptitude hwo can ir equest it reinstall a program [16:09] cars_: I'm running the default ubuntu 8.10. right-clicking the top panel doesnt show me "add new widget", only add to panel, etc... [16:09] I have port forwarding set up correctly, the problem seems to be isolated in Ubuntu. [16:09] oops... wrong nick.. sorry ikonia [16:09] thanks all :) [16:09] what is the best 3d games in ubuntu? [16:09] onetinsoldier: no problem [16:09] churl: ah ok [16:09] does anybody know whether there is a truecrypt chat channel? [16:09] funbitz1, sorry, it's add to panel [16:09] brokenbyzero, netstat -antp [16:09] ruadh: you should read a guide about it on the internet.. but i will tell you a little about it. ok? [16:09] Buzzzz: video is working in xfmedia now! [16:09] brokenbyzero, will show you which app has opened which port [16:10] brokenbyzero: well ubuntu does have a default firewall with alll ports closed, that will stop portforwarding from working on that machine [16:10] churl: happiness :) [16:10] hello. I have poor vision and am curious about gnome-mag. I don't use gnome though. Is it much usable with something like ratpoison? [16:10] arg there a monumental co*k up happenign with php can any one give me a hand [16:10] join #windows [16:10] urz, compiz has a desktop magnifier [16:11] ardchoille: for kicks, ill throw out the bug here.... when pidgin is running there is no problem, but if pidgin is not running, all the options except logout are missing... (no restart, shutdown, hibernate, etc) [16:11] compiz? [16:11] Is it possible to have both standard and adhoc mode VAP's running in madwifi? [16:11] Buzzzz: audio is wokring in xfmedia too! where was the issue? [16:11] urz, compiz is a component in Ubuntu [16:11] ikonia: ok,,now i feel i should say something.. now, how is he going to learn to unpack and compile stuff? i learned the same way he is wanting to here.. i came on irc and someone helped me, in the channel for my nix distro [16:11] hololight: I've not used pidgin, can't comment :( [16:11] churl: dunno.. maybe libxine thingy [16:11] Buzzzz: still no luck with audacious [16:11] ikonia: and now he left!! :-( [16:12] I have a notebook with sis graphics chipset. However, if I use sis in section Driver (xorg.conf) gnome does not even let X stay up. With vesa it works, but I can't get 1280x1024 resolution. When I try to watch videos they look terrible as well. A [16:12] Any idea ? [16:12] ardchoille: but that is what is odd.... if a program is not running, it wont work.... if it is.... then it works..... it is completely backwards [16:12] churl: strange [16:13] churl: I believe installing ubuntu-restricted-extras is what helped me get things going as far as media players [16:13] i think my sound doesnt work.. any help how to check if everything is fine? At KMIX i turned all to max..and no mute... [16:13] does anyone know where the keyboard presettings (Germany, Turkey, Finland... :P) are locatet and whether they are easy to manipulate? or is there an easy way to set single keys manually? [16:13] ex-chat [16:13] so you recomend compiz for magnifying with ratpoison? [16:13] Does anybody know if there is a truecrypt irc channel? [16:13] funbitz1, but the applet is very useful.

I think it turned out to be a bad USB controller [16:22] is it possible to resize my ubuntu partition (i share the drive with xp) [16:22] Buzzzz: is it medibuntu? not mediabuntu? [16:22] I'm looking for a library I can use to view/extract .rar archives. Or possibly info on how to call unrar from C code. Looked at unrarlib but I think I need support for v3 of .rar. [16:22] hololight - hardware fault? [16:22] churl: media just mo spelling [16:22] !medibuntu | churl [16:22] churl: medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org [16:22] lordblaa: aye [16:23] hmm [16:23] bonhoffer, I think you can atleast enlarge it, but not with it mounted, so I'd do it from a LiveCD. [16:23] hololight, not too hot on my hardware - is a usb controller built into the mobo or...? === qb|away is now known as qbmaniac [16:23] lordblaa: depends... but almost always these days [16:23] churl: my bad again :) [16:23] lordblaa, if you have usb ports on your mobo, then yes. [16:24] hololight, oh dear - so i need a new motherboard? [16:24] lordblaa: have you you tried a different drive? [16:24] bonhoffer: yes, you can shrink and enlarge it. i think gparted can do it, while booted from live cd. but read further documentation and make a backup before [16:24] this is with three drives - if any of them are plugged in, it chooses one to do it to [16:24] lordblaa: know your way around a bios menu? [16:24] seems to be consistantly the highest drive alphabetically in linux i.e. if there's sdb and c it'll be d, if only b and c it'l be c [16:24] hololight sure [16:24] I need a C++ compiler... Which to you suggest? [16:24] How do I get a text file of all installed packages so that I may install them later? [16:25] already tried disabling legacy USB support with no luck :( [16:25] got it -- so live cd is probably the way to go [16:25] NicEXE, loads available, default is GCC iirc [16:25] NicEXE: gcc [16:25] NicEXE: g++ [16:25] lordblaa: hrmm [16:25] !compile | NicEXE [16:25] NicEXE: Compiling software from source?

[16:26] they said 'now you be careful, if you open the case you void the warantee' 'yeah yeah' *got home, open case, put in old hard drive, transfer files...* [16:26] how can I compile something that I code with gcc? [16:26] How do I get a text file of all installed packages so that I may install them later? [16:26] lordblaa: but in this case you would have an argument, nothing you could have done could cause this problem..... [16:26] lordblaa: if it a hardware problem you got a warranty no matter what they tell you, check out your rights [16:26] NicEXE: you code with an editor, you compile with a compiler from the gnu compiler collection (gcc) [16:27] R0b0t1: dpkg --get-selections [16:27] NicEXE, you don't code it with gcc, you use a text editor or IDE like Eclipse or Code::Blocks, then you run it through gcc to compile it. [16:27] i think i'll just have to live with it - would have to delete all my files etc give the whole computer back [16:27] NicEXE: vi testprog.c; gcc -o testprog testprog.c; ./testprog [16:27] lordblaa: did you try a different combination of which drives were plugged into which ports? most mobo's use two different 'internal hubs'.... so certain ports are on one, and the rest on the other.... [16:28] oskar-, TwoD: no, what I mean is that I have my code ready in a text file (cpp format) how can I compile it? [16:28] i installed firestarter... unfortunately it's telling me that eth0 which is my OPEN nic card that i hooked up my gf's laptop too is not working or not setup or something yet when i check my network cards via the little pc dual window top right corner of my desktop bar i am able to see it in the list... anyone think they could help me get this working ? [16:28] Buzzzz: what's the syntax for adding it to intrepid? there isnt a listing for it at medibuntu.org [16:28] lordblaa: and anyway , how the hell they going to know you opened the box [16:28] recon69, a seal perhaps? [16:28] recon69: Prolly a void sticker [16:28] NicEXE, check out oskar's post after the ; [16:28] hololight, that sounds good - i'm up for trying anything that might work - so swap the plugs to different sockets? [16:28] lordblaa: yeah [16:28] recon69, unfort i snipped one of the cable ties [16:28] NicEXE: g++ -o progfile file.cpp; or use the build mechanism provided (very recommended) [16:28] churl: http://paste.ubuntu.com/85196/ [16:29] lordblaa: you think anyone will notice that [16:29] lordblaa: if the only thing was a tie, you can pick those up from like a walmart for a couple bucks [16:29] hello ppl... [16:29] oskar-: how to use the build mechanism? [16:29] yeah was thinking about it [16:29] Ximal-> can you elaborate on your network layout please? what is connected to what? and where are the firewalls? [16:29] can anyone help with ispcp omega?.. [16:29] Hey People! I have been trying for some time now to get my external monitor to work with ubuntu 8.04. It just displays nothing and i cannot turn it on. It works under windows. Any ideas? I use a fujitsu simens notebook Amilo si 1520. [16:29] but don't really want to give it back and be told in two weeks that i'd broken some safety seal [16:29] welll i'm just going to give this a reboot [16:30] see if that port swapping works [16:30] brb [16:30] NicEXE: read README and INSTALL. one or both of these files are normally provided in source packages [16:30] lordblaa: anyway check you rights, it it's a defective MB it will have a 12 month warranty anyway. [16:30] ikonia: still here? i realize that DRM isn't built into any apps, but are there any plugins? or programs i can use to strip the DRM? [16:30] n8tuser: i installed the firestarter program... then i clicked on the start button after going through the wizard in the program.. shortly after that i clicked the start firewall button... during the wizard though... i tried to enable the shared internet connection [16:30] has anyone use ispcp Omega on ubuntu?... [16:30] allsystemsarego: are there any programs that I can use to strip the DRM from the audible files? [16:30] oskar-: no I wrote the code (I am learning c++ in school) [16:30] How can I find out which package /usr/bin/foo was installed from? [16:31] Ximal-> can you elaborate on your network layout please? what is connected to what? and where are the firewalls? <-- i need this info so i can get a good grasp of what you have [16:31] but no matter what i do... i cannot share my connection.... i have 2 ethernet connections ... eth0 ( a pci card ) and an embedded network connection which is connected to my cable modem [16:31] cable modem to embedded nic ( eth1 ) and eth0 to gf's pc [16:31] ardchoille, I have a script for that somewhere, hang on [16:31] hello [16:31] I couldn't save iptables rules IO have this issue : Saving firewall rules to /etc/sysconfig/iptables: [FAILED] ?? [16:31] can anyone please help me with a very little problem regarding ispcp omega?.. [16:31] ardchoille: packages.ubuntu.com [16:31] !who | Ximal [16:31] Ximal: 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 :) [16:32] NiceEXE g++ filenamne? [16:32] n8tuser: sorry about that.. [16:32] Ximal-> that dual nic host is able to access the internet? [16:32] PriceChild: her internet connection is down due to weather [16:32] Buzzzz: what do you mean? [16:32] is there a command to "reconfigure X" or whatever it is these days to bring stuff on the screen...? [16:33] n8tuser: yes ... i am using my internal embedded nic connection to connect through the interweb via my cable modem [16:33] NicEXE: ok, then manually as i told you. you may need additional parameters "-I" for additional header file directories and "-L" for library directories [16:33] niceExe do you got gcc and g++ installed? [16:33] Buzzzz: failed update "gpg error" couldnt be verified because the public key is not available ? [16:33] oskar-: thanx [16:33] Ximal-> ok, now does the laptop have an ip address assigned? what is the ip address? also whats the ip address of that eth0 on host? [16:33] churl: starnge [16:33] Ximal-> ok, now does the laptop have an ip address assigned? what is the ip address? also whats the ip address of that eth0 on your* host? [16:34] ardchoille: I 'think', dpkg -S [16:34] Ximal: ever consider buying a router and saving yourself doing a course in setting up software routers. you can do what you want if you willing ot put the work in, first thing, the cable you connecting between the two computers , is it a crossover cable or a normal network patch cable? [16:34] Buzzzz: g++ comes with ubuntu by default === sean is now known as Guest11741 [16:34] ardchoille: maybe not [16:34] im trying to execute the command 'fg' (to bring a process out of background) at a certain time using at. to test i did at -f c.sh 5:31 and that time passed, and nothing happened, wtf? [16:34] PriceChild: That's it, thank you :) [16:35] n8tuser: i actually am hooking my shared eth0 to my old router ... i want this pc to be able to use the bandwidth it needs... unfortunately my cable modem is a wireless dual router ... and the wireless is broken on it ... thus i'm trying to share the eth0 with the dlink router [16:35] hmm, my menu bar has slipped over to the right horizontal side of my desktop, anyone know how to put it back at the top [16:35] so that she can hook into it and my dad can too [16:35] ardchoille, sending you the script now. It's called WhichPKG, just put it in ~/.gnome2/nautilus-scripts and select the file(s) you want to check then right-click Script->WhichPKG [16:35] ardchoille: there is also apt-file [16:35] banisterfiend: fg only works in the same shell, afaik [16:36] niceexe then just g++ name.cpp [16:36] oskar-: i am in the same shell [16:36] i think my sound doesnt work.. any help how to check if everything is fine? when i load ubuntu i get startup music working for 1sec. then no sound.. [16:36] TwoD: I can't do dcc file transfers here [16:36] Ximal-> you have seem complicated what you had explained earlier, please have a drawing of these connectivity so i can easily understand, pictures is worth a thousand words [16:36] oskar-: in fact i made a simple script just to say "hello" and at didn't even seem to be able to do that properly :/ [16:36] PriceChild: Ah, thank you [16:36] churl: try without key then [16:36] banisterfiend: check your logs in /var/log/ i don't think 'at' works without a MTA installed, it wants to mail results to user. my guess, had the same problem. [16:36] n8tuser: give me a moment... and you will see ;) [16:36] hi all, im trying to connect to my mtp phone in rhythmbox. The device comes up on the desktop and i can mount it and view the files inside, and view the photos in fspot, but doesnt come up in rhythmbox. Anyone got any idea whats up? [16:36] TwoD: May I pm you? [16:36] ardchoille, sure [16:36] banisterfiend: where is fg called? [16:37] oskar-: in c.sh [16:37] oskar-: inside c.sh i have the single solitary command 'fg' [16:37] banisterfiend: and that script will be called inside an own shell [16:37] hmm ok [16:37] well what do i do then? :D === Name is now known as Guest71803 [16:37] banisterfiend: you cannot put "fg" in a at-script. fg works only in the same shell instance where the command is running in background. [16:38] i had to sleep everybody [16:38] cu tomorrow [16:38] bye [16:38] so is there any way i can get the 'fg' command to execute after a certain time in thie shell? [16:38] Buzzzz: where's the key located? [16:38] i am watching a movie you see, and i've paused compilation of a program, but i want it to continue compiling after 2 hours or so [16:38] churl: should be on their server [16:39] banisterfiend how did you pause it ? [16:39] ikonia: control-z [16:39] banisterfiend: just fg it when your ready [16:39] banisterfiend: sleep 10; fg ;-) [16:39] ikonia: but im not going to be at my computer!!! [16:39] banisterfiend: then simply say sleep 2h ; fg in that shell [16:39] that's the point, im going to fall asleep during this movie [16:39] ah [16:39] awesome [16:39] thanks :D [16:39] Buzzzz: im not following this part [16:39] banisterfiend: sleep 7200; fg [16:40] et32273: ahh you can use m,h, differentiator for sleep [16:40] doesn't work [16:40] ikonia: yeah. at least in GNU sleep. [16:40] i can say 2h and it'll sleep two hours? [16:40] banisterfiend, yes [16:40] churl: ok [16:40] that's awesome [16:40] thanks guys [16:40] banisterfiend: yes. read man sleep. [16:41] banisterfiend: give the process sleeping a wakeip signal: kill -SIGCONT [16:41] wakeup [16:41] oskar-: if he still has the shell open, fg would be easier [16:41] is there an app to easily convert video files between formats [16:41] banisterfiend: this signal can be timed with at or sleep or others [16:41] ah cool [16:41] but how do i get at to run a normal shell command instead of a script? [16:42] Aperculum: more than one.. ffmpeg, mencoder, .. [16:42] it seems to expect a FILE paramater [16:42] -f [16:42] banisterfiend: crontab [16:42] hehe ok [16:42] gnutron: or "at" as it just one time [16:43] zsquareplusc, easily meaning I don't have to crawl thru man pages [16:43] zsquareplusc, like, select file, select format, magic [16:44] Aperculum: there are so many, uhm, not so well deigned codecs, you probably need to read at one point. ffmpeg is easy to use and tries to keep the quality high [16:44] banisterfiend: command & echo "kill -SIGCONT $!" | at
