[00:00] Flannel: I left the system updating overnight if I'm not mistaken, just coming back from the Christmas break to a non functional ubuntu :( [00:00] meoblast001 : have you tried webcamstudio? [00:00] alex_mayorga: I've unfortunately (or fortunately?) never used the rescue mode on the alternate CD. So I'm not familiar with it at all. I'll see if I can find anything on the internet about it, and you can ask any questions you may have about it (I get X, Y, and Z, as choices, what do I want?) [00:00] terli: i have it installed but dont know how to use it to screenrecord [00:01] i need a small help iiin formating my new 64 GIB pen drive. could any one of u help me please [00:01] this is the error i get now when i try to formate [00:01] Flannel: so no hope from the grub promt then? [00:01] hola [00:01] DBus error org.gtk.Private.RemoteVolumeMonitor.NotFound: The given volume was not found [00:02] how do i turn off randr from gnome? [00:02] alex_mayorga: No, you have no kernel to boot to (apparently) [00:02] terli i prefer recordmydesktop [00:02] rraj_be whats the prob [00:03] alex_mayorga: If you were updating... it sounds to me like it was less the problem of the power outage, and more that somehow you removed all of your kernels. [00:03] alex_mayorga: since update-grub ran (and rewrote the menu.lst) without any of them [00:03] i cant formate or create a disk label for my new 64 GIB pen drive koshar1 [00:03] meoblast001: you might also try gtk-recordMyDesktop [00:04] how can i list all the loaded modules? [00:04] Org-Mode: thats part of the problem. [00:04] how do i download missing shared libraries [00:04] Flannel: that would be real weird,but then I can manage to break anything [00:04] meoblast001: what bout istanbul? [00:04] mrunagi: missing shared libs? [00:04] Org-Mode: well... its not that... its the program that has to work with it [00:04] hmm i dropped my laptop now the hd wont boot :( [00:04] x wont start because it says that it cannot open libxdcmp.so.6 [00:05] rraj_be using gparted? btw 64 gig is a lot for a usb drive, its not a chinese knock up is it? [00:05] so im trying to find it [00:05] anyone know if fsck can help fix the problem? ubuntu boots then hangs [00:05] What are some of my options for watching digital HD cable tv on my linux box? I have charter Cable. Or is there even a way? [00:05] alex_mayorga: It is real weird, but it... sort of makes sense (as in, that would be one way we could get to this state). If we could get a live system, we could read the dpkg logs and see. And we can also likely extract a kernel deb and work our way to a working system again. [00:05] hi all. I know how to suspend a process using Ctrl-Z, but is there a way to run a process in the background without suspending it, so i keeps working? [00:05] yes ia m using gparted [00:05] malavar: try hdd regenerator. it repaired my hard drive once, after dropping it. [00:05] Flannel: trying "Rescue a broken system" in the alternate CD [00:05] tclduh: ctrl-z, then bg %X where X is the number (`jobs` will list the numbers) [00:05] tclduh-> add & [00:05] meoblast001: ah, well the only prob i have with screen recorders in linux is getting it to record sound, the video comes out pretty nice though [00:05] Flannel: ty!!! [00:06] that's easy!!! [00:06] tclduh: you can start something in the background with `foo &` (will start foo in the background) [00:06] but i dont know is it chanises or not . .one of my friend asked help to me in formating that koshar1 [00:06] mrunagi: you did some manual installing or so? [00:06] tclduh: You may also want to look into GNU Screen [00:06] so cool [00:06] i did a dist upgrade [00:06] tclduh: and then you can re-foreground them with fg %X [00:06] and ctrl-s [00:07] rraj_be there are fake usb keys round that report that they are a LOT bigger than they actually are... [00:07] mrunagi: sudo apt-get install libxdmcp6 [00:07] hm .........really koshar1 [00:07] mrunagi: you may want to check if your dist-upgrade was succesful [00:07] rraj_be iam not saying this is the case but just to be aware of the possability. [00:07] what can we do to detect taht [00:07] or to use taht [00:07] ksw: [00:07] koshar1: [00:07] ok [00:08] any way to detect that [00:08] Flannel: I can "Execute a shell in /dev/sda2" on "Execute a shell in the installer environment", what to pick? [00:08] rraj_be i friend bought back a handfull of sony knock up usb drives that clamed to be 16g but upon poping the package it was discovered they only had 256mg of flash. [00:08] hspaans: when i tried install libxdmcp6 it said it was the newest version [00:09] alex_mayorga: The former [00:09] Flannel: I already try to "Reinstall GRUB" with no success [00:09] alex_mayorga: GRUB is working fine, it's not a GRUB issue. The issue is you have no kernels. [00:09] how to detect that koshar1 [00:09] rraj_be other than opening the package, try to format small partitions and progressively make them bigger untill it wont format [00:09] mrunagi: then this file should exist /usr/lib/libXdmcp.so.6 [00:09] ok [00:09] alex_mayorga: this is a 8.10 Alternate CD? or 8.04? [00:09] yo for an ubuntu install on my desktop how much space should I use for swap? [00:09] i will try it [00:10] hey folks. I tried to use double screens for a while but that breaks compiz. I'm trying to re-enable compiz, but I don't know what configuration file I need to edit. Anyone know? [00:10] Hello again everyone. I'm having a really big problem with gnome, when I login it shows the normal screen for a few seconds, a terminal and then logs out - yet logging into kde is fine. I got it to work again just then, but upon logging out and logging back in again, it stopped working! Can anyone help? [00:10] aka-: i would make it the same size as the amount of ram you have [00:11] mrunagi: are you sure the dist-upgrade was succesful? [00:11] thanks onetinsoldier [00:11] 2GB [00:11] aka-: sounds good. you're welcome [00:12] mjpegtools_yuv_to_v4l: failed to open output video device, aborting.Capturing! [00:12] why? [00:12] Flannel: I think is 8.10 [00:12] Flannel: Might even be Jaunty :S [00:13] alex_mayorga: Erm.... What version is the system? [00:13] Flannel: I'm at a # shell [00:13] Flannel: it was 8.10 when operational [00:13] alex_mayorga: alright. `lsb_release -a` gives you what version? [00:14] Flannel: Release: 8.10 [00:14] i have a notebook with an intel gma965. when connected an external monitor it is always recognized as primary monitor. does anyone know how i can set the internal monitor as primary minitor? [00:14] Who should be the owner of /usr/bin ? [00:14] Should it be user or root? [00:14] hagus: without even looking.. root, i'm sure [00:14] group root too i'll bet [00:14] alex_mayorga: Check in /media/ or /mnt/ and see if your CDrom is mounted there [00:14] sony, you should try xranr [00:15] drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 61440 2008-12-26 17:02 /usr/bin [00:15] Grr - I have it as user and I am being refused permission to change the owner :( [00:15] heya folks [00:15] i have two 500G disks [00:15] * hagus has hit the setuid problem. [00:15] sony, sorry xrandr [00:15] i want them to appear as one (fresh install) [00:15] how do i manage that? [00:15] linux sux [00:15] srbaker: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [00:15] hagus: reboot to the recovery console (at GRUB, choose recovery console) [00:15] hagus: drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 50232 2008-12-05 10:18 /usr/bin/ [00:15] Flannel: cdrom and cdrom0 are under media [00:15] Flannel, I did try that twice [00:16] does anyone know how i turn off randr from gnome? [00:16] xrandr that is [00:16] alex_mayorga: Alright, cd into one/either/both of them and see if there's a README.diskdefines file in it [00:16] sidewalk: xrandr is a X.org thingie not a GNOME thingie [00:16] but I shall try it again - just to be sure. dgarr and various forums that I read suggested that I do that too. However, so far, not much luck. [00:17] srbaker: You can't make them appear as a single disk at _all_ levels of the OS, but if you have hardware RAID support on your motherboard or with a PCI card, that's about as good as you can get. [00:17] hagus: see http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=219767 [00:17] * hagus kicks himself for being so stupid as to change root to root, hagus [00:17] srbaker: Setting up hardware RAID depends entirely on what your hardware is. If you don't want to use hardware RAID, you can use LVM2, which has a similar effect in software. [00:17] hagus: What did you do, exactly? [00:18] hagus: you'd probably have to boot a LiveCD/Resuce and chroot [00:18] allquixotic: naw, i want software raid. or disk pooling [00:18] hspaans: in kubuntu it can be turned off somehow [00:18] Flannel: there's nothing under either cdrom or cdrom0 [00:18] is there disk pooling support in any of the FSes in 8.10? [00:18] hspaans: you know how i turn it off? :P [00:18] !lvm [00:18] and is LVM2 what i'd use for that? [00:18] I was trying to install Eclipse PDT on my ubuntu system. [00:18] Tips and tricks for RAID and LVM can be found on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RaidConfigurationHowto and http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO [00:18] thank you [00:18] !lvm | srbaker [00:18] srbaker: please see above [00:19] alex_mayorga: Alright, lets mount it, sudo /dev/sdb1 /media/cdrom (I assume its sdb1, it may be sdc1, etc, depending on your hardware) [00:19] I read in a tutorial on how to do it (in some forum) that I should install the editor pdt to /usr/bin [00:19] alex_mayorga: er, there's a mount in there too ;) [00:19] I could not without changing the permissions [00:19] !xrandr [00:19] XRandR 1.2 is the new method of running dual screens in !X. Information/HowTo here: http://wiki.debian.org/XStrikeForce/HowToRandR12 [00:19] srbaker: I personally have two 500GB disks in an LVM2 configuration that has a *single* physical partition striped across both of them. Software thinks I have a terabyte hard drive. :) [00:19] pexi: how can i solve my problem with xrandr? [00:19] allquixotic: right,a ths' what i want [00:19] Flannel: sorry I got lost in the last one [00:19] I changed the owner to root,calum [00:20] allquixotic: where can i find specific instructions for that? [00:20] hagus: so you changed the group to calum? [00:20] The result is that I cannot get access to sudo now. [00:20] i guess Ubuntu just cant do what i want it to [00:20] how can I find all of my posts that someone has thanked?? [00:20] sony: what xrandr issue do you have? :P [00:20] some of my programs (miro, firefox, qbittorrent) randomly quit, disappear, whithout any error message. what logs should i check to diagnose my problem? [00:20] owner = calum, group=root :( [00:20] levidos, try starting them from a terminal and see if they print any output [00:20] hagus: So, you did chown? [00:20] I tried to put root,calum in as the groups allowed to access it. [00:20] I can't seem to disable automounting of the file system on my usb device when I plug it in. I need to avoid that because the file system is damaged and I want to fix it without more damage from automounting, photo importing, nautilus and all that stuff [00:20] Hi, my laptop brightness settings aren't being remembered. I'm running intrepid (things used to work before I installed/upgraded a bunch of packages including a "proposed" kernel). Now everytime I log on, resume from suspend or screensaver I need to change my brightness settings. Does anyone know what package / packages are responsible for this behavior? [00:20] I was using dolphin. [00:21] srbaker: It's been a while since I've installed Ubuntu, but if you get the option in the partitioner (during install) to select an LVM2 configuration, you basically have to follow the prompts. There may be a nice tutorial out there. I haven't ever used LVM2 with Ubuntu, only other Linuces. May want to ask around for input from others. [00:21] windows pc keeps asking for a user/pass and i donno how to set one for samba? is it just using adduser/passwd ? [00:21] I am a little bit at a loss as to what I did. [00:21] allquixotic: hrm, thanks [00:21] I"ve turned off everything in "removable drives and media" [00:21] srbaker: Ubuntu 8.10's partitioner is really nice looking though, it could have what you need :) [00:21] alex_mayorga: sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /media/cdrom (mounts sdb1 to /media/cdrom) [00:21] alex_mayorga: you'll want to cd .. before doing that [00:21] but f-spot-import still starts up [00:21] allquixotic: i don't know. i didn't see any lvm options, but i'm looking now [00:21] thanks === [e]Lement is now known as [e]Lement`dc [00:22] I have tried just this minute to give the group write permission - I seem to have managed to deny root that :( [00:22] Hey [00:22] hagus: Are you using sudo? [00:22] Does anyone know how to install Adobe Air? [00:22] sony, I hope that this link help --> http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/Xorg_RandR_1.2 [00:22] hagus: sudo chown root:root /usr/bin? [00:22] hagus: you should install most things like that to /usr/local/bin ...also, you should install things into /bin directories while you are root user(sudo) and never change permissions of /bin directories. you must have been root user to change the permission of /usr/bin to begin with [00:23] sidewalk: i have a notebook with an intel gma965. when connected an external monitor it is always recognized as primary monitor. does anyone know how i can set the internal monitor as primary monitor? can xandr solve that problem? [00:23] what else might be automatically mounting the media? [00:23] onetinsoldier: er. [00:23] srbaker: It's interesting because LVM2 user programs and kernel modules are available for Ubuntu, and I have accessed an LVM2 volume that was created with another Linux while booting an Ubuntu 8.10 live CD.. just haven't tried it in the installer. [00:23] I did become root to change the . [00:23] ../usr/bin [00:23] grr [00:23] linxeh: hello? [00:23] * hagus is a chump [00:24] Hey does anyone know how to install adobe air in 64bit? [00:24] Flannel: the CD is DISKNAME Ubuntu 8.10 [00:24] Hello again everyone. I'm having a really big problem with gnome, when I login it shows the normal screen for a few seconds, a terminal and then logs out - yet logging into kde is fine. I got it to work again just then, but upon logging out and logging back in again, it stopped working! Can anyone help? [00:24] alex_mayorga: sounds good. Did you mount it successfully? [00:24] cn28h: i get this error when starting miro... it quits after 2 - 3 seconds. all these programs that "quit" use a lot of connections. can you take a look at the log, please? http://paste.ubuntu.com/93474/ [00:24] Flannel: it was /dev/scd0 after all [00:24] hey folks. I tried to set up dual monitors with my laptop for a little while, but that broke compiz. Removing the monitor and rolling xorg.conf back didn't do anything(in intrepid). I am wondering if anyone knows which file I should edit to fix this. [00:25] Flannel: is now under /media/cdrom as read-only mount [00:25] Whereabouts might the passwd files be in the filesystem, trying to run JTR on here and I cant find where my password files are? [00:25] nealmcb: hello. is this device listed in your /etc/fstab file? [00:25] /etc/passwd? [00:25] onetinsoldier: installing in /usr/local/ isn't necessarily such a good idea. it is an absolute nightmare to manage [00:25] how do i turn of xrandr? [00:25] onetinsoldier: nope [00:25] Is there a way in which I could temporarily set myself as root? [00:25] alex_mayorga: That's fine. cd /media/cdrom/pool/l/linux/ [00:25] sfer21: tried that, said no password hashes found [00:25] * hagus lives dangerously for a little while [00:25] GodfatherofEire: does it have root access? [00:26] sfer21: no, but now I see why it wasnt loading them *facepalm* thanks [00:26] nealmcb: roger.. i don't know for sure. how about umounting it? or does it just get auto-remounted right away if you do that? [00:26] Hey. How do I install adobe air on the 64bit version? [00:26] GodfatherofEire: silly mistakes are easy :P glad I could help [00:26] sfer21, wait, still nothin [00:27] onetinsoldier: I can do that, but the damage may be done by then [00:27] Flannel: cd media/cdrom/pool/main/l/linux/ did the trick ;) [00:27] levidos, sounds like it's saying something is too slow (maybe your connection? or video display?) [00:27] onetinsoldier: but it does not get remounted though [00:27] linxeh: i hear you, but /usr/local/bin is in your PATH and /usr/bin is normally reserved for apps install by the package manager. but i hear you [00:27] alex_mayorga: then once you're there, you should see linux-image-2.6.27-7-generic(some numbers).deb, sudo dpkg -i linux-image(tab) [00:27] Hey. How do I install adobe air on the 64bit version of ubuntu 8.10 [00:27] Hi, can someone tell me what the program "build-essentials" are? [00:27] GodfatherofEire: anything happen when you type in a terminal sudo gedit /etc/passwd? [00:28] obviously don't edit the file, of course [00:28] nealmcb: ok, after it's umounted then run the filesystem check on it [00:28] sfer21: you could say that [00:28] anyone else install ebox and cant even get irc but can surf the net? [00:28] hi has problem [00:28] home dir full, / full, still have 200gb free unallocated, made partition cant mountpoint [00:28] please help? [00:28] onetinsoldier: well unmounting it in the middle of f-spot starting up will just cause new problems I fear. I just want it to stop doing that, now and in the future.... [00:28] Hi, can someone tell me what the program "build-essentials" are? [00:28] I cant get tis app to install under wine it doesnt know what to do with with a msi how would i fix this [00:29] GodfatherofEire: what program were you trying to use it with? maybe it's a configuration fault in that [00:29] even just mounting a file system changes stuff on the file system as I recall... [00:29] nealmcb: f-spot? [00:29] R1_: for make, i guess? [00:29] R1_: It's build-essential, and it's a package that brings in all of the things you'll need to build programs (at least, for a few languages) [00:29] Flannel: sudo: unable to resolve host ubuntu, I'm already # so I might skip sudo right? [00:29] sfer21: john (aka John the Ripper, but its canonical supported) [00:29] unop_, I got the program dnsmasq to cache up to 1000 DNS entries. Also, it simultaneously pings both VPN and NAT servers, and the first one to respond is returned by dnsmasq. By putting 127.0.0.1 as first in resolv.conf, I get DNS lookups of about 100 msec for an uncached domain, either public internet or VPN; and less than a millisecond for cached ones. Awesome! [00:29] alex_mayorga: Oh, right. [00:29] f-spot is the photo management software I use - I thought it was default by now [00:29] Flannel, ty [00:29] l3d, use msiexec? [00:30] GodfatherofEire: hmm, I don't know what's going on. I'm not into that kind of thing, maybe someone else can help... sorry I couldn't help any further. [00:30] onetinsoldier: yeah, on our systems we install to /usr/packages/PACKAGE and add things to the various paths with a ~/.packagesrc defining the list of packages and a bunch of scripts to manage it - not ideal, but the only way to cope with such a large system [00:30] Flannel, this build-essential is not harmful to my ubuntu is it? [00:30] sfer21, no prob [00:30] R1_: no [00:30] linxeh, ty [00:30] home dir full, / full, still have 200gb free unallocated, made partition cant mountpoint [00:30] nealmcb: sorry,i don't know. just keep asking. someone will probably know. i'll poke around too [00:30] hey guys i got a prob again :P [00:30] onetinsoldier: thanks for your quick help anyway!

[00:35] Flannel: there are now vmlinuz in there :) [00:35] alex_mayorga: If it worked, reboot, boot to linux, copy your dpkg.log (since I'd like to see it), and then install linux-generic (right now your kernel isn't updated, nor do you have restricted-modules, so you may be low resolution, etc) [00:35] grout_: from what i've seen they are [00:35] linxeh: I think so I followed his thread http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=785476&highlight=wintv+hvr1800 at least partly... and also the linuxtvwiki [00:35] grout_: Creative as a company is not very Linux-friendly, but the question you should ask is whether their MP3 players are capable of showing themselves to the operating system as a "USB Mass Storage Device". If someone at Creative Sales can answer yes to that question, it will work. [00:35] ZxPwn, is the interface up and the cable plugged in? [00:35] !hal [00:35] For an informative description of the Hardware Abstraction Layer , go to this site : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hardware_abstraction_layer [00:35] rdtzdrtz [00:36] alex_mayorga: That'll drag in an up-to-date kernel, etc. Reboot again, and you'll be back to normal. (save that dpkg.log, since we may be able to get insight into what it's thinking removing all the kernels) [00:36] nealmcb: ok, try the following System --> Preferences --> File Management --> Media(Tab) ...look at what you have for the 'Photos' option [00:36] onetinsoldier: I'll look - thankjs [00:36] grout_: USB Mass Storage Device is a standard that works amazingly well and is very compatible across devices. Very few incompatibilities exist between operating systems and certified Mass Storage Devices. [00:36] Say, is there a way to convert/extrapolate a given file to its hard disk binary sequence? [00:36] Hey Guys can someone please help me with settup free yahoo mail in thunderbird [00:36] sony, I had the same problem. I never figured it out. [00:36] nealmcb: ok, let me know how it goes if you can [00:37] onetinsoldier: no "file management" there [00:37] Great thanks a lot guys [00:37] anyone know a better way to bridge eth0 and eth1 without firestarter? [00:37] ei [00:37] onetinsoldier: I'm on hardy [00:37] nealmcb: ahhh, i see [00:37] whats the best small distro similar to ubuntu? [00:37] linxeh: I think I found my problem ... didnt read very well thats what I get for staying up too late to try to get it to work [00:37] joejc:linux mint [00:37] Flannel: shutdown -h now won't go, other way to shutdown? [00:38] ei [00:38] Flannel: it says Connection refused [00:38] I can't view some website with Ubuntu, but I can with Mac & Windows... They all have the same DNS/Gateway/DHCP, IPv6 is disabled (same on the LiveCD) [00:38] alex_mayorga: that's odd. A safe way to shut down (if it wont do it the normal way) would be REISUB [00:38] nealmcb: i'm don't know then. i think it's a nautilus option/setting [00:38] alex_mayorga: alt-sysrq then slowly type r, e, i, s, u, b [00:38] onetinsoldier: ahh - I'll look there... [00:38] d3rgps31: what browser are you using [00:38] nealmcb: ok [00:38] alex_mayorga: Its certainly not ideal, but it's safe. [00:39] Has anyone setup free yahoo mail in thunderbird? [00:39] Say, is there a way to convert/extrapolate a given file to its hard disk binary sequence? [00:39] donavan browser doesn't matter [00:39] Anyone have adobe air installed on 64bit ubuntu? [00:39] joejc: Discussion about other distributions isn't really on-topic here; but anyway, if you want "small" (as in small footprint), you will most likely not see the robust features of Ubuntu. Features take more space, both on the CD and on the disk. You might check http://www.distrowatch.com if you are distro-shopping, but let's not discuss specific other distros here. [00:39] hi all, [00:39] Flannel: couldnt he also use sudo init 0? [00:39] Flannel: sysreq? [00:39] alex_mayorga: its on the same key as print screen [00:39] Could I get some advice? I just finished building my computer (Asus M3A78-EM m/b, AMD Athlon 64 x2 5000+ processor), it boots into BIOS just fine, and I configured the CD-ROM drive to be the primary boot device. There is no other OS on the computer. I put in my Ubuntu disc (which I had checked out and I know works), and...it doesn’t boot into Ubuntu. How do I get it to boot? [00:39] GodfatherofEire: If shutdown isn't working, its likely init wont either [00:40] Flannel, true [00:40] * Panarchy says Hi [00:40] unplug all other boot devices and try [00:40] Gehom: Can you get that disc to boot in another computer? [00:40] how can i convert a swf file to a png or jpg... the swf file scaled properly is a bit too big for my screen resolution to take screen captures [00:40] is the best way to upgrade from 6.10 to 8.10 by stepping through dist-upgrade for one distro to the next [00:40] alex_mayorga: Anotehr thing you ought to do is fsck. Once we reboot and install the new kernel, we'll go ahead and do that. (sudo touch /forcefsck, then reboot, and it'll fsck on boot) [00:40] marki: Yes. [00:41] Thanks [00:41] ummmm...it's the 64-bit version, but I know that all the files are there and it should work [00:41] no one? [00:41] marki: You may want to consider reinstalling instead of upgrading four times. [00:41] <_Styles_> I'm trying to boot using the Live CD and it spits out Buffer I/O error on device fd0, logical block 0 (Doe this mean it can't write to the hard drive?) [00:41] onetinsoldier: this looks helpful! http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=818002 [00:41] nealmcb: ok, i'll have a look, thanks! [00:41] #ubuntu [00:41] d3rgps31: could it be that they are looking at your OS and they are just not letting any non mac/win box to connect ? or is this a major site your going to ? [00:41] iluminator101; http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20071202081209AAJJoKG :: or :: http://email.about.com/od/mozillathunderbirdtips/qt/et_free_yahoo.htm [00:41] Say, is there a way to convert/extrapolate a given file to its hard disk binary sequence? [00:41] Gehom: Just because the files contained in the ISO are there doesn't mean that the CD has its boot record. If you have burned the ISO file by copying its "file" contents, you probably aren't using El Torito (Joliet) filesystem, which provides the boot record. [00:41] if I reinstall can i get most of my settings back by backing up my home dir [00:42] donavan no, i tried with a user agent switcher; also a major site (to me) [00:42] Gehom: In other words, if you have never been able to put that CD into another computer and get the Ubuntu boot loader, then the CD may be the problem. [00:42] marki: Yeah, your homedir contains all of your personal preferences [00:42] Like, if I had an audio file, and wanted to get the binary sequence, and put it in a text file, would there be a way to do it? [00:42] Anyone able to use their phone as a modem via bluetooth in 8.10 ? [00:42] Hey people! [00:42] hey all [00:42] GodfatherofEire: Not a text file, but yes. [00:42] how can I check if port 53 is being blocked? [00:42] Hi unreal! [00:42] Flannel: How? [00:43] GodfatherofEire: well, text editors expect to get text, not binary data. But if you look at the file in a hex editor, for example. [00:43] I am looking for a linux CD/DVD burner that is equivalent to Nero for windows [00:43] Flannel, any one in particular you'd recommend? [00:43] does anyone know what is good? [00:43] I'm trying to remove everything from ubuntu except GNOME, a terminal emulator, gedit, network capabilities & apt. Does anyone know how I could do this? [00:43] Did anyone here participate in making Ubuntu? [00:43] GodfatherofEire: check the repos. I don't know of one that's above and beyond the others [00:43] Decepticon: SWF files are animations, some of them interactive; they can also contain a video file. PNG and JPG are static images. Converting between the two is like trying to convert a video cassette to a picture. [00:44] Huh. When I put it into this computer, I immediately get the window asking me if I want to boot with the disc. Should I just download and test the 32-bit instead? [00:44] unr3al: brassero? [00:44] Flannel: I had to google the REISUB :) [00:44] morning all, i have a sd card in my eeepc that i cant open, i can see it, i just dont have access to it, any ideas since its essentially a temp hard drive [00:44] are there any other import locations that I should backup (other than home and data dirs) [00:44] d3rgps31 : you have an address I will try and him it from my box and see if I get anything similar [00:44] allquixotic, the swf files im talking of are special since they only have 1 frame [00:44] nealmcb: ok, so for you, 'File Management' is found in the Nautilus browser itself, correct? i hardly use it, i do all my file manipulation by command line really [00:44] donavan i don't understand [00:44] Flannel: specifically, what I'm tryin to do is use the binary of an audio file like so: audio -> binary -> hex -> base-36 -> Password [00:44] allquixotic as a result, id like to get that 1 frame turned into a screenshot... but its too big for my screen... and i have many of these swf files with 1 frames [00:44] Flannel: it has rebooted now and I'm now at my all glorious rainbow of flashing colors as detailed on https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/xorg-server/+bug/146706 [00:45] Tillotson: I have that. Is that already one of the best cd/dvd burning software? [00:45] Decepticon: gst-launch-0.10 is my favorite program for doing all sorts of crazy manipulations on media files; it's a swiss army knife. There may be a way to get it to simply pop that one frame out into an image. [00:45] how do i prevent an audio device from being held from other apps by the first app to grab it? [00:45] Decepticon: gst-launch is *extremely* flexible. You ask an interesting question, so I might take 5 minutes and see if I can figure out a way to do what you are asking. I love to learn more about gst-launch's capabilities. [00:45] d3rgps31: sorry about the typos, give me an address of a site you are trying to get to I will see if I get the same issue on linux box ... that is unless I am missunderstanding what you are trying to do [00:45] allquixotic, i cannot find gst-launch in apt-cache search [00:46] I think I should forget ubuntu altogether on this pesky laptop [00:46] donavan h33t.com [00:46] Decepticon: gstreamer0.10-tools is the package which provides the executable, /usr/bin/gst-launch-0.10 [00:46] alex_mayorga: what kind of laptop? [00:46] donavan even when i try to connect to it from a livecd, i fail [00:46] I have no name resolution, the connection times out. I can do a host -T
just fine but not host
. monitoring with wirseshark has a return packet from my isps dns server with the address but followed by an ICMP packet from me to the dns server that says Destination unreachable(port unreachable). Any suggestions? [00:46] if i set an application to use an audio device, no other applications can use that device until i close the first application [00:46] I'm trying to remove everything from ubuntu except GNOME, a terminal emulator, gedit, network capabilities & apt. Does anyone know how I could do this? [00:46] Decepticon: it's a console program, and if you've never used it before, it can be somewhat confusing to get started. You'd have to learn a little bit about Gstreamer under the hood, first. But let me try and cook something up for you. [00:47] unr3a1: Dell Inspiron 8200 [00:47] btw i'm on ubuntu intrepid [00:47] mount SD card [00:47] Panarchy what about X? and gdm? [00:47] Flannel: from the bug can you help me regain video, used to work last time [00:47] alex_mayorga: specs? [00:47] how wouold i change permissions on an sd ? [00:47] Guys, is rsync the best way to keep an exact replica of a directory inside another directory? [00:48] nealmcb: is that working out for you? [00:48] unr3a1: P4, nVidia Corporation NV17 [GeForce4 440 Go] [00:48] onetinsoldier: I'm amazed at how hidden that option is. but it seems to have almost worked. but I still see - sd 26:0:0:0: [sdb] Attached SCSI removable disk - in /var/log/messages - who is doing that?? then it is automatically unmounted I guess: usb 7-1: USB disconnect, address 43 [00:48] WebcamWonder: buddo about best but its definately one of the fastest [00:48] alex_mayorga: what problems are you having installing ubuntu? [00:49] nealmcb: i think it FUSE [00:49] unr3a1: a rainbow of colors instead of gdm see https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/xorg-server/+bug/146706 [00:49] d3rgps31: came right up for me on ubuntu 8.1 using firefox 3.0.5 ... so its not the site being a pain ...can you ping the site or tracert it from the linux distro? [00:49] Decepticon: Do you have any example SWF files that I can try? Any proof of concept that you wouldn't mind giving away? [00:49] let me snap a picture of it to attach to the bugger :) [00:49] donavan no [00:49] allquixotic try http://decepticon.rlogin.org/~decepticon/school/knight2e/0000.swf [00:49] koshar1: Ok. Then I just want to confirm the command line arguments. I am currently doing a rsync -vr --delete /original /backup. Any other parameter that I need to add to sync 2 local directories? [00:49] hi again [00:50] nealmcb: i think it's the.... gvfs-fuse ...package. not sure though [00:50] alex_mayorga, is this the same for 8.10 intrepid? [00:50] onetinsoldier: hmm - interesting! I've got to run now, but I'll look at that - gvfs-fuse... [00:50] nealmcb: ok, take care [00:50] unr3a1: yup [00:50] D3RGPS31: Yeah, well I did say GNOME. Although... here's a revised sentence [00:50] !libssl [00:50] Sorry, I don't know anything about libssl [00:50] onetinsoldier: many thanks again! [00:50] hey all how do i find the mount point for my sd card? and how do i change my home dir, so that this is the mount point? [00:50] !libssl-dev [00:50] Sorry, I don't know anything about libssl-dev [00:50] nealmcb: :-) [00:50] d3rgps31: but you said other sites do work ... correct ? [00:50] now that i've calmed down and half given up.. i want to know if there is a program where i can put video in it and it stream it to ppl? [00:50] donavan yes :/ [00:50] I'm trying to remove everything from ubuntu except network capabilities, a terminal & apt. Does anyone know how I could do this? [00:50] can anyone tell me what the program libssl-dev is for? [00:51] i specificall y want to be able to record my desktop and others watch at realtime [00:51] donavan http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1022331 [00:51] donavan that explains it clearly [00:51] meoblast001, development libraries for ssl. [00:51] WebcamWonder that line looks pretty similar to the one u use to sync my mp3 collection, i like to use the progress switch as well [00:51] joeb3_: ? [00:52] moDumass-> think about it for a minute, you want your /home to be a mount point? what happens do you think to your users directory once you mount a partition on top of /home ? [00:52] can anyone tell me what the program libssl-dev is for? [00:52] meoblast001, sorry that was for R1_ [00:52] Flannel: you still around? [00:52] R1_-> i will guess ssl related [00:52] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/TextToSpeech -- Any idea what 'Configuration for ALSA' does for your festival? [00:52] R1_, development libraries for ssl [00:52] I'm trying to remove everything from ubuntu except network capabilities, a terminal & apt. Does anyone know how I could do this? [00:52] koshar1: --progress? [00:52] where do I go to get X-SWAT team? [00:52] R1_-> ies secure socket layer [00:52] joeb3, is it safe to install? [00:53] joeb3_, is it safe to install? [00:53] alex_mayorga, you could run feisty until the issue is resolved [00:53] Deception: Got it, thanks. [00:53] R1_, if you need it, yes. [00:53] once ive changed permissions with chmod, will that stay beyond the next reboot? [00:53] Panarchy-> you can install a fresh debootstrap and thats a bare minimum [00:53] So, when I put in my disc, I DO get the boot menu (at least, on this computer). When I put it into the other computer, which has no OS installed, nothing happens. [00:53] WebcamWonder rsync -r --del -u /music /removable --progress [00:53] or will i have to re enable everytime [00:53] allquixotic i tried "gst-launch-0.10 filesrc location=/home/decepticon/public_html/school/knight2e/0000.swf ! sfwdec ! colorspace ! pngenc ! filesink location=/home/decepticon/0000.png" but i get the error: WARNING: erroneous pipeline: no element "sfwdec" [00:53] I am a new linux user. I have used windows most of my life and know what's harmful and what's not harmful. How can i tell if any install is going to be harmful for ubuntu? [00:53] d3rgps31: I think you may be on to something here with the speed issue ... I just upgraded to 8.1 and I am getting about the same deal with the up/down speeds ... I thought it was just comcast being jerks but I am wondering if its actually the OS [00:53] Decepticon: it's swfdec, first of all :) [00:54] i've got a strange messige now when i started upp ubuntu [00:54] WebcamWonder i like to know how much longer the command has to run [00:54] unr3a1: used to work last week, but I don't remember exactly what I did for it to work [00:54] koshar1: Wait. So the -u switch doesn't overwrite if your backup destination has a filed changed right? [00:54] donavan :/ [00:54] allquixotic in that case... i get WARNING: erroneous pipeline: no element "swfdec" [00:54] unr3a1: Feisty not an option for now, but thanks [00:55] koshar1: file changed* [00:55] Decepticon: try ffdemux_swf [00:55] R1_: For now... As long as you use "Add/Remove" and "Syn.Package" under Admin, you should be fine. [00:55] R1_: And eventually, you'll learn. ;o [00:55] donavan: i use comcast and have yet to notice any speed issues or anything strange with my internet service. what are you noticing? is it hard to describe? [00:55] alex_mayorga, hmmm.... that's odd that it would work, then suddenly not work [00:55] n8tuser: debootstrap? [00:56] alex_mayorga, I wish there was some advice besides going for an older version until the newer ones are fixed. [00:56] white-sheep, thanks. I assume like other operating systems, there are viruses out there that may infect linux OS too? [00:56] onetinsoldier ever since i switched to 8.10 my internet has beeing having issues [00:56] Panarchy-> yes, you read that right, you can install it and then run debootstrap in a fresh partition so you get a fress basic baseline on a new partition [00:56] allquixotic what pacakge to obtain ffdemux_swf [00:56] what does this mean? "BusyBox v1.10.2 (Ubuntu 1:1.10.2-1ubuntu6) built-in shell (ash)" enter 'help' for a list of built-in commands. (initramfs()) [00:56] n8tuser: Okay [00:56] !virus | R1 [00:56] Decepticon: gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg [00:56] R1: A/V software is available, however read this to understand why Linux does not have a virus problem: http://librenix.com/?inode=21 [00:56] Doing that now [00:56] D3RGPS31: did you install 8.10 fresh? or is this an upgrade? [00:56] WebcamWonder not if its newer for eg if i updated a tag [00:57] onetinsoldier fresh [00:57] onetinsoldier: but on the computer i used to upgrade, same thing [00:57] R1_: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/security [00:57] so, if my Ubuntu CD does work, and the computer I'm trying to boot with it refuses to do so, what is my next step? [00:57] D3RGPS31: roger. i am having zero issues with internet myself with 8.10 [00:57] onetinsoldier: well it actually was D3RGPS31 who was initially having the issue with some websites being pricks but I checked his post and was noticing some similarities with his problem and my connection speeds .... I though it might have just been comcast being that I just moved but i also just upgrade so I do know where the problem is really coming from [00:57] Gehom: Bad disc reader? [00:57] Panarchy-> when i say base, i mean really the basic, no other apps on it, [00:58] onetinsoldier: do you do a speed test every week? [00:58] ummm...tried two different ones [00:58] allquixotic i have gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg but i cant find ffdemux_swf [00:58] same thing happened [00:58] D3RGPS31: no [00:58] how can i compile 2.6 kernel with amd74xx module instead of pata_amd ? [00:58] Gehom: I don't mean the DVD -- I mean the hardware. [00:58] koshar1: Ahh. And is there an argument that can skip files if they are actually the same. I am expecting about 99% of the files to be the same, and only a few updates. I am actually rsyncing my logs that is why [00:58] allquixotic is that 0000.swf doing anything [00:58] got to reboot guys be back in a few [00:58] yep. I tried two readers [00:59] also, it was when i switched to 8.10 that websites began timing out [00:59] WebcamWonder: check out Grsync [00:59] Deception: Not yet; I'm having an issue where I can't start ffdemux_swf (even though I have the plugin itself) because libjinglexmpp is not shipped with Ubuntu 9.04-devel's libjinglexmpp package. [00:59] D3RGPS31: if you would like me to go to a site to perform one i'm willing though [00:59] Gehom: Two readers -- Did you press the said button at BIOS boot to launch boot fromdisc? [00:59] Org-Mode: Oh. Wow. Let me give that a shot [00:59] onetinsoldier: h33t.com, with an adblocker and popup blocker; i already know people can visit it on their linux boxes [01:00] Decepticon: I'm hitting this bug because I'm running the development version of Ubuntu: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libjingle0.3/+bug/305603 [01:00] But I'll fix it ;) [01:00] onetinsoldier: i'm lead to believe it's my ethernet card now :/ [01:00] how can i compile 2.6 kernel with amd74xx module instead of pata_amd ? [01:00] WebcamWonder: Grsync is a frontend for rsync and you can set it to skip files that are already existing, etc its great [01:00] I set the reader as the first boot device, and then tried to boot. I didn't see a specific button [01:00] n8tuser: Okay, sweet [01:00] D3RGPS31: i have been there, today. when you were on here earlier asking about this issue. i didn't take a close look at the site, but do they have a speed test? [01:00] Org-Mode: But, does it output the rsync command it is running. I would love to generate the command from this gui and then plug it into a CRON or script file [01:00] allquixotic im on 8.10, i can try to run the command you're trying [01:00] onetinsoldier: no; it's just a torrent website [01:01] BIOS didn't have any mention of the disc at all [01:01] Hi - Just installed Ibex on a older Dell Notebook - Wireless WiFi card not working yet - it is a < Broadcom - BCM 94306MP - Rev4 > Any idea's on how to get this working ? ? [01:01] WebcamWonder: yeah you can [01:01] WebcamWonder the bit where is skips files that are the same is the reason i went with it, it effectively only updated the bits that are new making it a very fast process [01:01] Panarchy-> debootstrap is the official way of installation for ubuntu [01:01] Thinking about buying a webcam. Want to get one that works with intrepid. Does anyone have a recommendation? [01:01] hello all , i have installed ubuntu today but i get a yellow screen of death when i get past the ubuntu loading stage . i can move the mouse but there is only just a yellowie screen, the version is 8.10 and the compter is a hp with intel chipset [01:01] koshar1: So it does that automatically? [01:01] how can i compile 2.6 kernel with amd74xx module instead of pata_amd ? [01:01] WebcamWonder: Unison is nice too [01:01] Everything else works great! Sound, video [01:02] D3RGPS31: now, about the adblocker and pop-up blocker. you're using these? what are you using? i know firefox has a builting pop-up blocker and i believe it told me it blocked pop-up from that site, but what ad-blocker? [01:02] I updated my system the beginning of this week and the wireless card stopped working. dmesg shows "bcm43xx_microcode5.fw not available or load failed" ... everything I can find on the web assumes it's a new install. I've already retried the steps I took to get it to work before. Any pointers? [01:02] Gehom: It doesn't have to say (boot from disc). Were there a boot menu? [01:02] Decepticon: I need to run apt-file to figure out where this shared library is coming from so I can tell you what package to install. A moment. [01:02] onetinsoldier: i was just warning you, if you were to visit the site [01:02] D3RGPS31: builtin* [01:02] WebcamWonder i beleive so, you should just play round with a few examples, thats how i got the line i use down pat, [01:02] D3RGPS31: ok, roger [01:02] koshar1: Ahh. Awesome. Thanks! :) [01:02] Decepticon: Install gstreamer0.10-plugins-farsight [01:02] Org-Mode: Thanks for your help too :) [01:02] anytime [01:02] Decepticon: Then you will have ffdemux_swf if I am reading this correctly [01:03] the BIOS boot menu just asked which device was the primary boot device. [01:03] white-sheep, thanks for the read. Very insightful. Wow i never knew linux systems were so strong and secure [01:03] what do i do now, that i know where the problem is? [01:03] R1_: No problem. ;) [01:03] D3RGPS31: i have no idea, i don't have the problem and i don't know why you do [01:03] D3RGPS31-> problem for what? [01:03] hello all , i have installed ubuntu today but i get a yellow screen of death when i get past the ubuntu loading stage . i can move the mouse but there is only just a yellowie screen, the version is 8.10 and the compter is a hp with intel chipset [01:03] Decepticon: What are you exactly trying to do? I came in a little late [01:04] allquixotic well i got gstreamer0.10-plugins-farsight, cant seem to find ffdemux_swf [01:04] WebcamWonder i want to take a file like http://decepticon.rlogin.org/~decepticon/school/knight2e/0000.swf and turn it into a png or jpg or bmp [01:04] n8tuser internet, i have the crazy idea my hardware or driver is timing out specific sites [01:04] newbie question: where can i put my LD_LIBRARY_PATH def so that it's picked up and passed into my emacs environment, which is started automatically at log in? i've put export LD_LIBRARY_PATH="/usr/local/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH" in my ~/.bashrc, which is sourced from .profile. i pick it up when i start a shell, but it's not known in my emacs process. [01:04] When I put in the disc and pressed a key (as it prompted), it continued to tell me to put in the boot media [01:05] D3RGPS31-> it is resolved now [01:05] ? [01:05] Decepticon cant you jsut use print screen? [01:05] n8tuser: ? [01:05] conal: Did you run the command -- bash ? [01:05] koshar1 the swf file, when scaled properly, is too big to print screen [01:05] Decepticon: Does the file /usr/lib/gstreamer-0.10/libgstffmpeg.so exist on your system ? [01:05] D3RGPS31-> it is resolved now? [01:05] n8tuser: no [01:05] allquixotic, yes it does [01:05] n8tuser: no.. he's still having the problem. can access the site in macosx and windows.. but not from linux [01:05] allquixotic -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 196036 2008-10-07 06:01 /usr/lib/gstreamer-0.10/libgstffmpeg.so [01:05] no one here has a web cam to recommend for intrepid? [01:06] how can i compile 2.6 kernel with amd74xx module instead of pata_amd ? [01:06] white-sheep: if i start up bash, the variable is defined there. however, emacs starts up another process (the haskell interpreter), and LD_LIBRARY_PATH is not defined there. [01:06] D3RGPS31 -> i can access it with no issues, im on linux [01:06] hello all , i have installed ubuntu today but i get a yellow screen of death when i get past the ubuntu loading stage . i can move the mouse but there is only just a yellowie screen, the version is 8.10 and the compter is a hp with intel chipset [01:06] n8tuser: good for you; i can't... not even from the livecd, so that's why i'm saying it's the hardware or driver [01:06] Decepticon: That file is the one which provides ffdemux_swf on my system. So maybe it's new in Jaunty. The actual demuxer has been available on older systems I've used, so I'm puzzled by that. [01:06] n8tuser: same here, and others have said they can access it too. weird that he can't [01:06] koshar1 in addition to being too big, theres multiple files, using print screen is not a viable option for a scripted process [01:06] I've been told the latest kernels have support for bcm43xx in the kernel ... perhaps the original steps are actually causing the problem? [01:07] conal: I can't be sure. I usually declare all of my alias + path in .bashrc + .profile + .bash_aliases. [01:07] Decepticon could you do a few screen prints and stitch them with the gimp [01:07] D3RGPS31 -> ipv6 on yours enabled? disable it [01:07] koshar1 im talking about 1400 files [01:07] n8tuser: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1022331 >.> [01:07] koshar1 id rather not [01:07] Decepticon ok i see [01:07] hey does anyone know if there is a way to force the wubi installer to use 150GB of space instead of just 30GB? [01:07] onetinsoldier -> i suspect there are some ipv6 name resolution thats causing it to fail [01:08] does vlc support sw? i know it does flash [01:08] I have a quick question, if I create a Truecrypt file with ext3 file system will I be able to mount it under windows? [01:08] n8tuser: that post tells you everything you need to know about my problems, ipv6 us disabled [01:08] hashbrowns -> you can expand the partition ? [01:08] D3RGPS31: i have something you can consider trying, if you haven't already. i doubt it'll solve the issue. but hey, you never know! and that is to close out firefox... then rename your .mozilla directory and start up firefox and try it again [01:08] hashbrowns: Why don't you install Ubuntu on it? ;) [01:08] on my eeepc 1000h netbeans run very fast in winxp -- but on my ubuntu 8.10, it runs amazingly slow -- anything i can do about this (2gb ram) [01:08] n8tuser: perhaps. he claims he has disabled ipv6 though [01:08] i keep losing sound under intrepid. it looks like pulseaudio dies but the audio device still says it's busy if i try and run pulseaudio. any ideas? [01:09] onetinsoldier: if i can't ping it, i can't use a different user agent to access it, and lynx doesn't work, that won't either [01:09] bonhoffer: i run openbox on my eee 900, smoooth (xcept for firefox, it blows) [01:10] well firefox could be the culprit [01:10] how do i see my ram usage on ubuntu? [01:10] white-sheep: well the wubi installer makes a file inside of windows to use instead of having a regular partiiton. I chose to do it this way cause nobody could help me with my dualbooting problems but I could get it to install/dualboot correctly via wubi but there is a 30GB cap in the drop down box during the install process. Do you know how to change/override this value? [01:10] how can i compile 2.6 kernel with amd74xx module instead of pata_amd ? [01:10] D3RGPS31: i can't ping it either. and sites can configure their firewall to not respond to pings(pongs not allowed). keep in mind.. i cannot ping it, but i can access it! [01:10] bonhoffer: You use Ubuntu custom-tailored for EEE or you install Ubuntu 8.10 directly? Using Ubuntu-EEE would probably dramatically reduce your resources. [01:10] bonhoffer: i use a highly configurable gui conky, shows all kinda system info [01:10] onetinsoldier: i hate you D: [01:11] D3RGPS31: sorry [01:11] allquixotic any more ideas [01:11] bonhoffer: "free" [01:11] Decepticon: I have a feeling the Ubuntu build scripts which create the gstreamer plugins packages are not building in swfdec support. It's not nice, because swfdec appears to be supported in gstreamer.

[01:12] D3RGPS31: try my suggestion. it only take a few seconds, and if it doesn't work, then you can rename your original .mozilla dir back to .mozilla [01:12] storm-zen: A nick I chose a few years back. It is now mostly restricted to IRC usage [01:12] D3RGPS31 -> whats this /etc/modprobe.d/aliases ? and your entry has domain (STATE).rr.com ? are you looking at the correct file? [01:12] any idea how to get my sound operational so it doesn't keep crashing on me? [01:12] WebcamWonder: Any relation to webcams? I'm trying to determine a good one to get for intrepid.

[01:12] n8tuser: i posted it 'cause someone found it usefull yesterday, i'm not putting all my info in that post >.< [01:12] WebcamWonder: What a disappointing misnomer. :p [01:12] how do i see what apps are using memory (via free?) [01:13] Decepticon: You mean like this? I just extracted this from the swf you gave the link to http://dl.getdropbox.com/u/120933/pic140.jpg [01:13] does icecast stream video?

Dropbox is acting up [01:14] bonhoffer: conky also by default shows top 5 mem swallowers, but both gnome and kde have made system manager programs listing it all if ur more into guis [01:14] allquixotic thats a bit too much for a simple task :( === traskeee is now known as nuxleee [01:14] how can i compile 2.6 kernel with amd74xx module instead of pata_amd ?

I had an OSS 4.0 install that broke when I did some updates, so I installed a developmental OSS 4.1 build, which probably made things worse. [01:42] Rhapsody: OSS kernel panics when trying to load the module that interfaces with my hw :) [01:43] Rhapsody: follow that thread i linked you to, it has instructions [01:43] allquixotic ok it looks like theres varying resolutions on each of hte swfs... so this tool is kind of useless [01:43] I just cloned my harddirve to a new one, took out the old one, re-installed grub and now when I boot I get a blue screen, any ideas? [01:43] Decepticon: and it's on Windows so of course it's useless ;-) [01:43] Nasty. The only time I saw Linux kernel panic was upon booting my old PC after it had been dropped on the floor. [01:44] Decepticon: I'm grabbing about 9234923 dependencies to get this gstreamer-plugins-bad compiled. :-/ [01:44] allquixotic holy crap [01:44] well not literally that many [01:44] but tens. [01:44] allquixotic well does the conversion have any indication of being functional on your system before we attempt to make it work on mine? [01:45] Decepticon: Once I get the swfdec plugin compiled I'll let you know ;) [01:45] allquixotic is there anyway to take a screenshot of a webpage containing a flash object like http://decepticon.rlogin.org/~decepticon/school/knight2e/gametime3.php?hscale=1.6&wscale=1.6&fileno=0000 [01:45] Any idea why dd would be takin gup most of my CPU? I don't have anything open besides firefox, xchat, pidgin and cgmail. [01:46] anyone know of any streaming video server & c lient software? not VLC though cuz that requires the viewer have VLC [01:46] Flynsarmy: Use htop and find out what's eating up your CPU. [01:46] Decepticon: if you have an http URL that leads directly to the .swf file, you can go out and grab that directly using gstreamer. [01:46] i.e. gst-launch-0.10 [01:46] I get a blue screen on boot after cloning my install, anyone have any ideas? [01:46] D3RGPS31 -> i suspect that it is your ISP blocking that site for their own reasons like stopping torrents perhaps [01:47] allquixotic i just have a php script that acts as a container for the swf file ... otherwise i have direct links to the swf files as well [01:47] n8tuser: then why can i view it on mac and windows [01:47] white-sheep, /sbin/klogd -P /var/run/klog/kmsg [01:47] D3RGPS31 -> can you elaborate on your network layout? [01:48] n8tuser: Cable>Modem>Computer === pingu is now known as Guest23460 [01:48] Decepticon: you need to get your PHP script to basically redirect to the SWF file itself if you want to take arbitrary URLs and get the PNG out of them [01:48] how do i give specific access to a user to be able to mount and unmount the cdrom? ive found info on how to let ANY user do this, but i want it just for a specific user [01:48] D3RGPS31 -> and your windows and vista are where? [01:48] white-sheep, it's fighting /sbin/syslogd -u syslog for my CPU [01:48] n8tuser: mac and windows* same computer [01:48] allquixotic thats beyond my scope :/ === Guest23460 is now known as pingux [01:49] Flynsarmy: I only give you the name of the package that allow you to determine the source of the problem. ;) [01:49] Well, ossxmix doesn't exist any more. I'll take that as a good sign. [01:49] Deception in what way is the swf "contained" in the resulting HTML of the output? [01:49] D3RGPS31 -> i forgot, you are on livecd now? [01:49] n8tuser: no [01:49] anyone know why klogd and syslogd would be going nuts taking up all my CPU? [01:49] ive installed ubuntu live cd on usb and how do i boot? [01:50] Hi. I want to have a file of defined size that I can mount as an encrypted file system. Windows support is a plus, but optional. What project should I look into? [01:50] set your bios to boot from usb first. [01:50] I get a blue screen on boot after cloning my install, anyone have any ideas? [01:50] how to boot USB? [01:50] nbeebo, set your bios to boot from usb first. [01:51] garou: TrueCrypt -- I suppose. [01:51] It'd probably be best to reboot before trying to install OSS again. [01:51] n8tuser: Okay, installed ubuntu 8.10 and debootstrap [01:51] Now what? [01:51] quit [01:51] Ugh. [01:51] D3RGPS31 -> and you dont have any of those like dansguardian installed that block websites for you? [01:51] courpse|dead, at the beginning i press f12 to change boot device, theres 3 different usbes tried them all, so ur sure it will work from bios instead? [01:51] n8tuser: no [01:51] Panarchy -> you installed the debootstrap on a separate partition? [01:52] n8tuser: using VMWare [01:52] nbeebo, im never sure, it was just a susgestion. [01:52] Hi, i know this may be a stupid question, but a Swap Partition just acts like Memory or Ram right? There is nothing valuable needed in there? [01:52] So no, I don't think I did [01:52] CoUrPsE|DeAd, k .. thanks ill try [01:52] R1_ nothing at all :D [01:52] !iso-mount [01:52] Sorry, I don't know anything about iso-mount [01:52] R1_: Its akin to the pagefile on Windows, its just like a ram extension. [01:52] !swap | R1_ [01:52] R1_: 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 [01:52] !giso-mount [01:52] Sorry, I don't know anything about giso-mount [01:53] !gisomount [01:53] Sorry, I don't know anything about gisomount [01:53] !fishing [01:53] Please investigate with me only with "/msg ubottu Bot" or in #ubuntu-bots. Search for factoids with "/msg ubottu !search factoid". [01:53] D3RGPS31 -> can you also post your cat /etc/nsswitch.conf just for kicks [01:53] How well does Ubuntu support Netbooks, I'm trying Kubuntu right now but I'm fed up with all it's garbage [01:53] n8tuser: http://pastebin.com/m222d0f16 [01:54] n8tuser: What command please [01:54] Thanks guys [01:54] SJr|Nbook -- How well? It'll run well on notebooks just about same as on the computer -- Size, speed, and resources make the differences [01:54] D3RGPS31 -> same configs as mine..hmm im stumped at the moment [01:54] !hardware | SJr|Nbook [01:54] SJr|Nbook: For lists of supported hardware on Ubuntu see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport - To help debugging and improving hardware detection, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingHardwareDetection [01:54] Hilikus: hi. i think that may depend on whether a user is part of the 'cdrom' and 'wheel' groups. if he's not, then he cannot mount the cdrom and if he is then he can? i'm not 100% certain, but i think that is how it works [01:55] n8tuser: :/ [01:55] Hilikus: hence, my question mark [01:55] Panarchy -> you have a separate partition? [01:55] Nobody knowledgable about encrypted fs'? [01:55] I'm not talking about Hardware, I'm talking about usability. Like Windows that aren't too big, etc [01:55] n8tuser: what size should I make the other partition? Also, what should I make it? ext3? reiser? [01:55] looking for a way to ssh to multiple servers and edit a file simultaneously w/o using ssh key [01:56] SJr|Nbook: Try install fluxbuntu [01:56] I tried installing fluxbox blek :P [01:56] lol [01:56] hey I've got a question about installing 8.10 as a dual boot, I'm in the partition screen and it's offering me an option to do a guided partition, but not to resize the partition. I want to set up a dual boot, and it's not giving me an option. The other os is OSX.4 and the disk is already partitioned. would "guided-use largest contiguous free space" do the trick? [01:56] There was another good one... enlightenment [01:56] I want something that still looks kinda sexy, not something that was featured in WarGames. [01:56] n8tuser: what size should I make the other partition? Also, what should I make it? ext3? reiser? [01:56] /usr/sbin/debootstrap --arch i386 gutsy /mountpointhere/newpartitionhere http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu [01:57] SJr|Nbook: ubuntu [01:57] lol [01:57] Panarchy -> /usr/sbin/debootstrap --arch i386 gutsy /mountpointhere/newpartitionhere http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu [01:57] does anyone know how to share an alsa input device among multiple applications in intrepid? [01:57] SJr|Nbook: icewm? [01:57] Panarchy I should just be able to install gnome-desktop right? [01:57] oh, maybe have a look at OpenSuSE's GNOME [01:57] yeah [01:57] Panarchy -> make it like umm 5-6gig [01:57] Wow [01:57] that big [01:58] well in VMWare, it made an 8GB hard-drive by default [01:58] Panarchy -> if you plan to add things to it later.. [01:58] n8tuser: I can just remove the partition then extend it straight away, right? [01:58] Panarchy -> make it 2 gig if you wish [01:58] I just got comcast internet connection installed and I cant use it with my Ubuntu box. How do I start trouble shooting? [01:59] n8tuser: After I've done debootstrap, I can just remove that partition then extend my other partition straight away.... right? [01:59] Panarchy -> you are installing this on a VM ? [01:59] Yes [01:59] Panarchy -> on a VM you only have one partition right? or you have multiples? [01:59] Decepticon: sounds like the source of the problem is that ffmpeg's swf decoding (which is done via an external library) can't work with compressed SWFs, which yours are. [swf @ 0x9f0da70]Compressed SWF format not supported [02:00] Peppered1 and I are trying to set up 2.1 sound on an Ubuntu 8.10 box with a Sound Blaster Live! card. The issue is, we've got three different cables: One for each speaker, and one for the sub. Can someone talk us through configuring it, from step one? [02:00] n8tuser: I only have the one partition (well two including swap) [02:00] Hi, if possible could someone could, pm me info on how to make ubuntu on a laptop output on another screen (monitor) my backlight has gone out on my laptop [02:01] nitesh: i'm not all that good with networking. but in your problem description, include pastebin url's. i recommend you start with a pastebin of the output of the following command --> ifconfig -a [02:01] Panarchy -> okay, so you will have everything in one partition / and /home [02:01] hello everyone, i have a quick question. [02:01] n8tuser: yep [02:01] Panarchy -> /usr/sbin/debootstrap --arch i386 gutsy /mountpointhere/newpartitionhere http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu [02:01] does anyone know how to make the trash icon appear on the desktop? [02:01] something like that [02:02] Hi all, can someone help me to set up gcc or any other C language compilers to my ubuntu? [02:02] n8tuser: Using x86 version of ubuntu-desktop.iso, just did a clean install, so if you could tell me the exact command, I'd appreciate it [02:02] ravenousllama -> gconf-editor and look in volume manager perhaps? [02:02] what is the best sounding music player for gnome? totem? vlc? xmms? i want something lightweight and has good sound [02:02] n8tuser, i can check [02:02] WMP11 [02:02] Sounding? They all sound the same don't they? [02:03] oneytinsoldier: Currently I am on a windows machine as ubuntu is not able to get an IP address even after setting it to DHCP. I think cable only recognizes MAC address of my windows laptop, but I am not sure. [02:03] billybigrigger, i suppose the sound would have more to do with the decoder than the player [02:03] I need to find the exact model of motherboard I have. I had a few programs in windows that showed everything about my computer, but I have ubuntu now and can't seem to find any programs like this. Anyone have any suggestions? [02:03] um... any help? [02:03] i just compile through the text editor [02:03] billybigrigger: You mean you want a good music / media player? [02:03] Panarchy -> you have a new install of VM ? [02:03] Hi all, can someone help me to set up gcc or any other C language compilers to my ubuntu? [02:03] ofcourse g++ needs to be installed first [02:03] white-sheep, correct [02:03] nitesh: roger, include what kind of network card you are using in your problem description then [02:04] n8tuser: 6.5.1 [02:04] n8tuser, how do i get to gconf? [02:04] hi all, I am running ubuntu 8.04 and want to use update manager to update to 8.10.....does anyone envisage any problems?? warnings?? reminders?? (I do run virtualbox and need that to work after update as well) [02:04] n8tuser: Just finished now, only thing I've done is sudo apt-get install debootstrap [02:04] ravenousllama -> on a terminal you type that gconf-editor [02:04] ah [02:04] !upgrade | Dante123 [02:04] Dante123: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes [02:05] !players | billybigrigger [02:05] billybigrigger: Audio (Ogg, MP3...) players: Audacious, Banshee, Beep Media Player, Listen, Quod Libet, Rhythmbox, Exaile, XMMS2 (GTK/Gnome based) and Amarok, JuK (Qt/KDE based). Video players: Totem, Xine, MPlayer, VLC, Kaffeine - See also !codecs [02:05] Flannel, why does 'yes ihateyou > /dev/audio ' and 'yes iloveyou > /dev/audio ' make the same sound? [02:05] oneytinsoldier: I am connecting using ethernet cable. I am using a wired cable modem, my wireless router has not arrived yet. [02:05] Decepticon: OK: I got the open source program Gnash to display your SWF, even though it's compressed.... now to capture the output ;) [02:05] Panarchy -> umm im going to wing it for the VM, i have not used a vm to install using debootstrap before [02:05] onetinsoldier I will check that....also would you have any qualms about upgrading from 8.04 to 8.10???? [02:05] I'll run a uname then [02:05] allquixotic i tried gnash, but i dont see where to go with it... you'd have to scale it 1.6 but even then its too big for my screen resolution [02:06] L3Tum you could run and/or install hwinfo from terminal [02:06] n8tuser, what exactly would i be looking for? [02:06] Panarchy -> make a filesystem on that VM / partition [02:06] who here knows how to use alsa properly? [02:06] nitesh: it should be fairly straightforward then. what is the problem when you try to get online? [02:06] hey I'm installing 8.10 for a friend on her mac, and I'm getting stuck at the "Prepare Disk space" Screen [02:06] and since when did xmms2 become a command line server? [02:06] Dante123, thanks I'll try that [02:06] ravenousllama -> something related to trash icon? [02:06] n8tuser: Okay, i686 [02:06] Panarchy -> huh? [02:06] i liked xmms but not a big fan of xmm2, xmms was a wicked old school winamp clone i loved it anything like that? [02:06] n8tuser: Will do... [02:06] n8tuser, i'm not seeing anything useful. [02:07] n8tuser: Architecture [02:07] billybigrigger, audacious [02:07] L3Tum no problem [02:07] it's asking whether I want 'guided - use entire disk', 'guided - use the largest continuous free space' or 'manual' what should I put [02:07] ravenousllama -> which icon thats not being displayed again? [02:07] I want to keep the other operating system [02:07] Dante123: should be pretty easy. i had someone do it manually without even using the update manager/synaptic package manger the other day. worked fine for them. but sometimes some people have a few issues. but they get worked out [02:07] the trash icon. it's normally on the taskbar, but i want to move it to the desktop [02:07] L3Tum you can also do lspci and lsusb to see info about pci cards etc. [02:07] billybigrigger -- Try Banshee [02:07] Anyone here have an ipw2200 card patched for injection on ubuntu? [02:07] oneytinsoldier: When I plug ethernet cable in my Ubuntu laptop, the network manager tried to request a IP address but fails and I dont even get a IP address. [02:08] but if i remove it from the deskbar, it becomes really annoying to access it. [02:08] white-sheep, i tried banshee last time i tried opensuse and it sucked, im not a big fan of the WMP style or itunes style players that store your whole music list [02:08] white-sheep, i like old skool winamp style players, audacious looks like what i want [02:08] onetinsoldier thanks....the main thing I don;t want messed up is my virtualbox xp guests....but I can't forsee any problems there. [02:08] ravenousllama -> you have to search around in those folders, or google for a quick answer perhaps [02:08] n8tuser, will do [02:09] billybigrigger: Alright. As long as you find what you're looking for. ;) [02:09] ravenousllama; in gconf-editor goto apps>nautilus>desktop then select trash_icon_visible [02:09] hey I'm trying to set up a dual boot for ubuntu 8.10 and OSX.4 and it's not offering me a slider in the partition screen of the install === surma is now known as matti_ [02:09] Anyone here have an ipw2200 card patched for injection on ubuntu? [02:10] Hey, can someone help Peppered1 and I set up a sound system around a SB Live! Value card in a private chat? [02:10] am glad there are people around whose got excellent memories [02:10] n8tuser: Using x86 version of ubuntu-desktop.iso, just did a clean install, so if you could tell me the exact command for both partition and using debootstrap, thanks [02:10] bastid_raZor, thanks that did it. [02:10] okay, second question, does anyone know how to install fonts? [02:10] ravenousllama; you're welcome [02:10] hey I'm trying to set up a dual boot for ubuntu 8.10 and OSX.4 and it's not offering me a slider in the partition screen of the install [02:10] Panarchy -> you are on a VM, i have not created a partition in a VM === [e]Lement`dc is now known as [e]Lement [02:11] nitesh: ok, well just keep asking. i probably sholdn't have said anything since i'm not that good with networking. however, i do know my way around a little, but not enough, sorry. it'd probably still be good for people in here to know what network card(brand/model) it is. [02:11] n8tuser: Everything should be just like a normal comp, except i686 [02:11] Panarchy -> if you were going to use the standard partitions and not the VM, then we can work that out [02:11] is it safe to update to the latest kernel? [02:11] Panarchy -> then do it, do the partition in the VM if you believe its like a normal one [02:11] D3RGPS31: probably, what version exactly? [02:11] ravenousllama; this may help :: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=275202 [02:12] onetinsoldier: the latest, i heard something about ext4 >.> [02:12] It works! Sound now works! I should come here more often. [02:12] Dante123, neither of those three gave me the motherboard model. I tried sysinfo also to no avail [02:12] bastid_raZor, thank you, that's extremely useful. [02:13] D3RGPS31: well, you mean compile your own? i do that... if i were to do that, it'd be --> 2.6.28 [02:13] L3Tum: mobo info? try sudo dmidecode [02:13] n8tuser: Yes, but what are the command (want to learn CLI) is it like fdisk or something? [02:13] onetinsoldier: yes :D [02:13] Panarchy -> yes [02:14] n8tuser: Using x86 version of ubuntu-desktop.iso, just did a clean install, I have a i686 architecture, if you could please tell me the exact command for both partitioning and using debootstrap, I'd really appreciate it, thanks [02:14] bastid_raZor, nevermind, it's not working. [02:14] D3RGPS31: i would think it's be ok to upgrade to it. i only run into one issue myself... my proprietary fglrx(ati) video drivers. have to wait for ati to make the fglrx drivers compatible with newer kernel versions [02:15] n8tuser: Using x86 version of ubuntu-desktop.iso, just did a clean install, I have a i686 architecture, if you could please tell me the exact command for both partitioning and using debootstrap, I'd really appreciate it, thanks [02:15] Panarchy -> the problem with your setup is, you want to install using the debootstrap on a VM which i dont think it will work, debootstrap install would work in same machine not ina virtual environment [02:15] onetinsoldier: would you know where to get linux-686-smp [02:15] can someone give me a hand with partitioning my disk on a macbook. I'm not getting an option that lets me choose how much of the disk I want to allot for Ubuntu. would 'guided-use the largest continuous free space' do the trick. The disk is already partitioned. [02:15] D3RGPS31: want me to compile and run 2.6.28 right now to check it out? i will if you want. i'll just use the vesa driver. [02:15] bastid_raZor, this forum entry was also written for ubuntu 6.10, so it seems to have changed significantly [02:15] n8tuser: Haven't had any issues so far, been able to use it exactly as if it was a proper computer [02:15] Panarchy -> from your current kernel, you can not just mount the VM partition [02:15] but it's not giving me an option to install in the non-osx partition [02:15] Decepticon: does your SWF encapsulate an FLV? [02:15] onetinsoldier: no [02:15] urrrgh i just wish there was a font manager [02:15] allquixotic i do not know? [02:16] Panarchy -> think carefully before you make such claims [02:16] n8tuser: I'll see how much space I have, then I might install it on my hard-disk [02:16] L3Tum cant u look at the motherboard and get a number off there to google [02:16] D3RGPS31: ok, hehe. not sure that i know how to help you with that package name === dgar1 is now known as dgarr [02:17] i have a question [02:17] weternal: you can choose manual and choose it yourself [02:17] nevermind i found a website that explains it for 8.04 [02:17] okay last question [02:17] !ask | job [02:17] job: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily).

[02:26] Hello all [02:26] where is Advanced Desktop Effects Settings. did not find it in synaptic [02:26] !ccsm > job [02:26] job, please see my private message [02:26] job: look for ccsm (compiz configuration settings manager) [02:27] I was just playing a video and had to restart my gnome session (installed shared services to share a folder) [02:27] now I can't hear any audio [02:27] !ot > bizkwet [02:27] bizkwet, please see my private message [02:27] it appears /dev/dsp is busy [02:27] lol [02:27] anyone know any way to reset /dev/dsp [02:27] ? [02:27] <_empty> I see there is a problem with openchomr/ubuntu for hp2133, possible to say when it will be fixed? [02:28] greetings cybernauts and other lost souls :0 [02:28] hallo [02:29] carandraug thanks. I'm at the screen now, it says "/dev/sda" "free space size 0 MB" "/dev/sda1 fat32 209 MB size 209 MB used" "/dev/sda2" hfs+ 79682 size 33113 used" "free space 134 MB size" [02:29] just installed a derivative of 8.04 with no "keyboard shortcuts" in the accessories. I'm afraid that I have gotten used to some customization. Doesn't appear in the repositories. Any ideas how to install the shortcuts? [02:31] weternal: you said you had left free space to install Ubuntu. It doesn't appear. Are you sure you prepared it? There's only 134Mb free to make a partition [02:31] Can someone help me? The mouse is not working on my machine. The mouse is not broken, as I was just using it (in Windows). I just installed Xubuntu 8.04 on a Dimension 2400 with 128 meg RAM. I installed from the Alt. disk. Any ideas how I can troubleshoot this? [02:31] An_dynas; maybe read a bit ? http://www.google.com/cse?cx=014345598409501589908%3Amplknj4r1bu&ie=UTF-8&q=ubuntu+shortcuts%27&sa=Search [02:31] anyone know how to successfully move an existing install from one hard drive to another? [02:32] n8tuser: Using x86 version of ubuntu-desktop.iso, just did a clean install, I have a i686 architecture, if you could please tell me the exact command for both partitioning and using debootstrap, I'd really appreciate it, thanks [02:32] Cody_Duncan: which mouse? [02:33] hello [02:33] can anyone tell me how to make the console colours the same as ubuntu in the tty (not X) [02:33] sorry [02:33] the same as gentoo [02:33] Cody_Duncan: useful to try: grep -i mouse /var/log/Xorg.*.log [02:33] I am using a laptop right now in the chat, but I just installed on a Dell Dimension 2400, and the stock mouse is not working [02:33] Panarchy -> in generality, fdisk /dev/sddX and follow the menu [02:33] Panarchy -> i have already given you to command for using debootstrap [02:34] dgarr: how can I run try that, without the mouse (stupid question, I suppose) [02:34] polywaffle: you want to have the same colors in the console in ubuntu, that you have in gentoo's tty? [02:34] Cody_Duncan: maybe you can alt-tab to get a shell open? [02:35] no dice [02:35] Thank you for the response, ribas1, but those links are to shortcuts available. I'm trying to dedicate and customize keys and keystrokes, which is available in the program "keyboard shortcuts" typically found under accessories. It's unfortunately not there. I'm looking to figure out how to re-install that program. [02:35] firefox opened [02:35] obuttu, the wiki page leads to installing AWN for ubuntu 8.0x can use that for 8.10? [02:35] dgarr; alt+f2 then gnome-terminal [02:35] Cody_Duncan: start by doing what dgarr says,,find out what brand the mouse is and then look at you xorg.conf [02:35] polywaffle: I don't know what are the colors in gentoo, but if you open gnome-terminal, go to Edit > Profile preferences and you change the colors there [02:35] Cody_Duncan: what bastid_raZor said [02:35] dgarr; oh, wrong nick [02:35] anyone know how to successfully move an existing install from one hard drive to another? [02:36] KillerOrca: yes. Use rsync [02:36] carandraug, can you elaborate? [02:36] KillerOrca: yes. One minute. I'm looking for the commands I used before [02:37] dgarr, trying to get files too, thanks though [02:38] !kernel [02:38] The core of the Ubuntu Operating System is the Linux kernel: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel - You shouldn't have to compile your own, but if you're convinced you do, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile - See also: /msg ubottu stages [02:38] KillerOrca: do you have the other HDD mounted? [02:38] R1_, asdf [02:39] carandraug, if by other you mean original no, it is in the machine but not hooked up [02:39] carandraug sorry about that, I lost connection for a bit [02:39] weternal: you said you had left free space to install Ubuntu. It doesn't appear. Are you sure you prepared it? There's only 134Mb free to make a partition [02:39] hi all, i'm new to linux so i decided to give ubuntu a try, but i have some problems with my w-lan network card, can anyone help me ? [02:40] KillerOrca: you're in the install that you want to copu to another HDD? [02:40] carandraug there should be room in /dev/sda2 "hfs+" since it's an 80 Gb drive, and there are only 33 Gigs used [02:40] carandraug> I dont mean in X, I mean from a tty [02:40] hm....what should i do if i want to let the thunderbird check email by itself? [02:40] an-dynas: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/KeyboardShortcuts [02:41] Here's a story of an honest man losing religion, climbing the pulpit steps before an eager congregation, then while praying came a wicked inspiration... Brothers, sisters this is what he said: "Dearly beloved, dearly beloved, dearly beloved, I can't relate to you." [02:41] weternal: yeah, but you'll have to resize it. It's different to leave free space in a partition, and to leave free space in a disk to create a partition [02:41] carandraug, the new drive is the one that is currently hooked up. If I have to put the original in, does it matter which one is master and which one is slave? [02:41] i want the thunderbird run in background [02:41] carandraug how would I go about resizing it? [02:42] an-dynas and http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-create-a-custom-keyboard-shortcut-in-ubuntu.html [02:42] i checked fro drivers for my sitecom wl-112 wlan card ( for laptops ) it said its in the driver my ubuntu is using right now, but my connection info only shows 1mb/s but it should be 54 ( im not too far away from the router or anything ) can anyone help me with this ? [02:42] weternal: are you trying to install 8.10? [02:42] dgarr: when I do the /var/log etc. I get an error "grep: invalid max count" [02:42] yes [02:43] carandraug yes I am installing 8.10 [02:43] www.gogle.com [02:43] I'm having an issue with the 8.10 LiveCD installation. I was getting the "initramfs+busybox" issue and solved it with a modified boot line (added all_generic_ide) but now when the installation loads squashfs, it gets stuck. Any thoughts? Google doesn't return much [02:43] Cody_Duncan: remind what you did? [02:43] weternal: ok. 1 min. I'm faking a install to guide you [02:43] dgarr: forget what I just said, I got the command to work, but what do I do from here? I am trying to get my mouse to work. [02:44] Decepticon: I've got somewhere [02:44] it's a hack but it might do something [02:44] KillerOrca: no, I don't think it does. I used this to backup my home without losing anything. It should work for a install [02:44] allquixotic ive been throwing darts with a blindfold on here... [02:44] carandraug, ok, give me a minute to hook it all up then [02:45] erm, could anyone pls help me ^^ with the network problem ? [02:45] Cody_Duncan: grep -i mouse /var/log/Xorg.*.log may give hints on device and config and erros for mouse [02:45] Decepticon: I'm hacking up a script using dump-gnash (had to build gnash from source because that isn't shipped with ubuntu) and mplayer and mencoder. whew! [02:46] I'm not getting anything anything that looks like an error. [02:46] I've got working sound now, but I also have a second problem that maybe you can help fix. KNetworkManager can't see my router through the ethernet connection, but can see it via my USB wi-fi connection (that's what I'm connected with). I know it's not a hardware problem though, because a Kubuntu 8.10 desktop CD can see the router through the ethernet connection. [02:46] www.wikipedia.com [02:47] www.gogle.com [02:47] Cody_Duncan: do you items indicating success and "Convigured" [02:47] WTB some help =D [02:47] Hi, can someone tell me if there is a terminal code to check the driver version of your wireless adapter? [02:47] allquixotic well its better than what im doing [02:47] using 220 mem with firefox opened and 3-20% cpu with xbuntu.desktop installed after removing gnome [02:47] R1_ i have wlan issues too, not getting much support here tho ^ [02:48] anyone else using xfce forr comps? [02:48] n00bf4rt, does it involve injection? [02:48] noobf4rt: what is the issue? [02:48] ehehehe [02:48] ok im a noob with linux :) to start with [02:48] hospital... [02:48] medicine [02:48] i have a sitecom wl-112 [02:48] dgarr: the last line says "Configured Mouse: ps2EnableDataReporting: succeeded" [02:48] ... [02:48] but its only 1mb/s @ connection info [02:49] it should be 54 [02:49] how close are y ou to the ap n00bf4rt [02:49] like 1 meter [02:49] so it should be ok, when i was using windows with normal drivers its 54 [02:49] carandraug how do I resize this partition? [02:49] So I used chsh to switch my shell to zsh, but gnome-terminal still seems to start bash. What gives? [02:49] n00bf4rt, i just installed ubuntu 2 days ago, no help will be coming from me lol [02:49] tried too look for some drivers, i found a default package in ubuntu supporting my card [02:49] n00bf4rt: i don't have one to troubleshoot but it was working with 7.10 [02:50] Cody_Duncan: try lsmod|grep mouse to see driver [02:50] dgarr: I am looking at this in the forums, though I don't know that it applies : http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=448046 [02:50] Hi, can someone tell me if there is a terminal code to check the driver version of your wireless adapter? [02:50] weternal: that's what I'm trying to figure. It's better to try it in the LiveCD, instead of the installation menus. Is that ok? [02:51] yeah [02:51] carandraug yeah [02:51] to add some more info to my problem, it says here my network card has a 75% connection, so that makes it even more strange that i'm only having 1mb/s [02:51] carandraug so do I want to exit from the install? [02:52] weternal: if you try during the menu install (which I was trying now), the text is not clear and I don't want to mess your system [02:52] Cody_Duncan: maybe if you pastebin your Xorg.0.log someone will see something to help [02:52] n00bf4art, it says you're getting 1mb/s but is that what is actually going on? have you tried to test if it will surpass 1mb/s [02:52] weternal: yes. Go to LiveCD and start gparted [02:52] let me try downloading something from a good host.. [02:53] KillerOrca: "rsync -acvSHx --exclude lost+found --exclude /where_you _want_to_copy_it / /where_you _want_to_copy_it" I belive this command should do the trick for you [02:53] dgarr: how do I see the log? [02:53] carandraug ok I'm in the live cd session now [02:53] carandraug, I set everything up, but I tried cloning the drive before with clonezilla, do i need to boot up gparted and erase the failed clone? [02:53] dgarr: also, pasting won't work, as I am working on a seperate machine [02:53] n00bf4rt: http://www.speedtest.net/ [02:53] maximum dl speed is ~30kb/s but its 1800kb/s using ethernet [02:54] Cody_Duncan: try: less /var/log/Xorg.0.log [02:54] i've got gparted open [02:54] KillerOrca: can't hurt to make sure there's nothing left behind [02:54] dgarr: no such file or directory [02:54] could someone assist me in making my ubuntu laptop display on an external monitor (dvi monitor)? [02:54] D3RGPS31: i now have the following .deb package.... linux-image-2.6.28-maroon-bells-amd64_20081226_amd64.deb :-) [02:54] Is there a way to get dpkg to reinstall ALL packages? [02:54] dgarr: my mistake, it's there [02:55] onetinsoldier: :D [02:55] carandraug I've got gparted open, it's showing three partitions sda1, sda2 and unallocated [02:55] weternal: ok. So umount the partition where you have OSx installed [02:55] D3RGPS31: i'll install it and reboot in several minutes here [02:55] n00bf4rt, you on 8.10 ubuntu? [02:56] jeeee...i rock ! :) [02:56] ehm where can i see my version [02:56] http://www.speedtest.net/result/379518282.png [02:56] i downloaded the latest version about 2 weeks ago [02:56] Lol, his name is n00bf4rt [02:56] hehe xD ya my usual nick was taken xD [02:56] tonyyarusso: That would be 'by reinstalling ubuntu' [02:56] I installed kubuntu-desktop over Ubuntu Intrepid. This gives me KDE 4.1, which reallt disappoints. I want KDE 3.5. How can I revet to KDE 3.5? [02:56] allquixotic im almost giving up [02:57] earHurts: As far as I can see, you don't. [02:57] Decepticon: I have it in an AVI [02:57] to add some more info had the same problem using fedora [02:57] how can i know the electricity consumption of my computer? [02:57] Decepticon: I have gone from your SWF to an AVI using gnash, mplayer and mencoder [02:57] allquixotic ive tried printing the swf, screenshotting the swfs, converting the swf to png.... [02:57] n00bf4rt, you can go to the panel system-> about ubuntu to check version [02:57] with an applet, if possible. [02:57] It's not possible? [02:57] ok let me check [02:57] Decepticon: It's not that hard to go from a backend of AVI to a backend of PNG [02:57] carandraug I've got it unmounted [02:57] im on 8.10 [02:57] allquixotic i suppopse... the hard part is swf to avi [02:57] n00bf4rt: have you tried ndiswrapper? [02:57] n00bf4rt, so your card works fine in windows but weird on linux? [02:57] I'm waiting for Kubuntu 9.04, with KDE 4.2 in the base install. THAT is the full replacement for KDE 3.5 I've been wanting. [02:57] it's not hard, I can do it here [02:58] weternal: now, right click on it and select "resize/move" [02:58] jup [02:58] dgarr: the log says at one point "Configured Mouse: No Device specified, looking for one..." "Configured Mouse: Settin gDevice option to "/dev/input/mice" [02:58] Is there any way to convert a number in the terminal to its equivalent in base 64? [02:58] its easy to find windows drivers, but in linux its 1 big package ( as far as i could see ) and my card was on the list [02:58] default driver [02:58] allquixotic this method, is it scriptable so i may do it to 1400 swf files [02:59] I think I may be taking this machine home with me, to spend some real time with it, as it may be just shy of FUBAR [02:59] another werid thing, my card has 2 LEDs only 1 is burning, in windows both where burning [02:59] carandraug ok I resized it. should I click apply? [02:59] the activity LED aint burning anymore [02:59] n00bf4art, i'm new to Ubuntu so i can't offer any more suggestions except to google "'yourcard name' problems ubuntu" [02:59] Decepticon: The thing I'm writing *is* a script. [03:00] Decepticon: So yes [03:00] weternal: then, you change the values so " Free space preceding=0", "New Size=what you want to leave for MacOSX" and "Free Space Following=what you want to leave for Ubuntu" [03:00] allquixotic interesting [03:00] Cody_Duncan: try: sudo cat /dev/input/mice|xxd and move mouse to see if there is output [03:00] well R1_ i tried that allready will look further if i cant fix it with the help here [03:00] weternal: yes [03:00] im afraid its not that easy tho since im new to linux ^ [03:00] n00bf4rt: Which card do you have? [03:00] Decepticon: I can send you a tarball with dump-gnash and the script once I get it debugged [03:01] sitecome wl-112 [03:01] sitecom* [03:01] n00bf4rt are you using intel 2200bg [03:01] allquixotic that would be awesome [03:01] n00bf4rt I mean is that your wireless card name? [03:01] ehm i have no idea ^^ i have this laptop for 2 days now its the old laptop of my mum xD dont have any specs [03:01] Is there any way to convert a number in the terminal to its equivalent in base 64 (Not the programming language but a number that has 64 as its base instead of 2, 10, 16, etc)? [03:01] ow no [03:02] its sitecom wl-112 [03:02] KillerOrca: you got your partition set up? Now I remember, you'll have to at least edit fstab after this [03:02] dgarr: I am moving the mouse but nothing is happening [03:02] base 64? what do you use after z? [03:02] i'm getting "The Composite extension is not available" when i try to enable visual effects. I have ati drivers for my card installed from ATI's website, and Composite enabled in my xorg.conf [03:03] How do I switch my Login Manager, from KDM to GDM? [03:03] Decepticon: I'm 98% there; just figuring out mencoder options to go from a recognized media format into PNG [03:03] sloopy, I know there is something, but I'm not sure what the last 2 characters are [03:03] weternal, i'm using 2200bg, is there something i should know o.O ? [03:03] dgarr: thanks for trying, but I think I may be out of options here for the time being [03:03] Cody_Duncan: hm, with a working mouse you would get output there so I don't know, maybe restart X (ctrl-alt-backspace) and retry that [03:03] For that matter, I'm not even sure if there is a standard, so I might just be making an idiot of myself [03:04] Sorry, had a shower, can someone please tell me the command again so i can use it? [03:04] carandraug I deleted everyhting on the target hard disk, it all just says unallocated now in gparted, do I need to do anyhting else? [03:04] n8tuser: Using x86 version of ubuntu-desktop.iso, just did a clean install, I have a i686 architecture, if you could please tell me the exact command for both partitioning and using debootstrap, I'd really appreciate it, thanks [03:04] GodfatherofEire, would be 8 chars (guessing using 0-9 and a-z and A-Z) left over needing to be filled [03:04] R1_ oh I had issues with it when I switched to 8.10-i.e. it didn't work out of the box, but I was able to solve the problem by typing sudo modprobe -i ipw2200 [03:04] sloopy, nope only 2 [03:04] Panarchy -> in generality, fdisk /dev/sddX and follow the menu [03:05] Panarchy -> i have already given you to command for using debootstrap [03:05] weternal, have you patched your driver for injection? [03:05] anyone know why I might be getting "The composite extension is not available" with ATI drivers from the ATI website? [03:05] R1_ what does that mean [03:05] KillerOrca: yes. Create an ext3 partition [03:05] GodfatherofEire, ahh my decminal math is off [03:05] weternal, nevermind =) [03:05] sloopy, haha, yeah, I did the same thing when I first went to calculate it too [03:05] n00bf4rt: your card should work out of the box [03:05] carandraug how long should this take to resize the disk [03:05] D3RGPS31: i had an error with installing the .deb :-( [03:05] more info: connection info shows driver: rt2500pci [03:06] weternal, it's just for wireless auditing. You need to have patched ipw2200 if you want to take advantage of injection with aircrack [03:06] GodfatherofEire, yeah its all those numbery thingys too many, they need to have alot less... [03:06] n00bf4rt sudo modprobe -r rt2500pci [03:06] Hi, I want to use command-line to copy files to Windows smb share, but smbmount (in smbfs) won't install. I can "see" the mount in Dolphin/Konqueror. [03:06] onetinsoldier: so close, yet so far xD [03:06] will do [03:06] D3RGPS31: i'm investigating now [03:07] n00bf4rt that will stop that driver, and maybe let another one which actually works with your card take over [03:07] (Konqueror won't copy the files because it aborts(dies) if there's more than about 1 Gb of files) [03:08] i need some help, and i am kind of new to this... i have around 200 gigabites on my windows XP, and around 3 gigabites on here. how do i transfer that memory over to ubuntu? [03:08] Dalton_T1, With a tool such as partition magic. Do a ful backup before you start mucking with partition sizes. [03:09] many a geeks last words were ... this wont hurt my data. [03:09] n8tuser: Yes, okay, thanks. Can you tell me the command for debootstrap again, as I had a shower, and mibbit made your text dissappear! [03:09] hmm [03:09] n00bf4rt: if what weternal suggested fails u can try ndiswrapper to make it work. Your card uses the same chipset as my belkin [03:09] n00bf4rt what'd that do [03:09] and stan, would i install that on ubuntu or xp? [03:09] erm [03:09] it kinda deleted my wlan xD [03:09] or something [03:09] Dalton_T1, I think it comes with a bootable CD? [03:09] pulled out my card and plugged it in again [03:09] smbfs won't install because of smbfs: Depends: samba-common (= 3.0.28a-1ubuntu4) but 3.0.28a-1ubuntu4.7 is to be installed [03:09] any help, please? [03:10] then it worked [03:10] but still 1mb/s [03:10] weternal: I never did had to resize one. I know how and guided people on doing it but never actually had to do it so I don't know how long it takes. [03:10] are you getting wireless [03:10] DOT_DASH: install samba-common? [03:10] Dalton_T1, http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16832108166&Tpk=partition%20magic [03:10] Panarchy -> i've pasted it to you several times, i can not remember anymore [03:10] Hell guys! I have a problem with my WLAN in ubuntu I keep getting disconnected pretty often [03:10] seventoes, yes, that's there [03:10] n8tuser: Press the up arrow please [03:10] carandraug, ok, how do I make the target hard drive all one big ext3 partition? Right now it has 3 separate ones on it [03:10] is there a way i can do something like that for free? [03:10] carandraug oh ok, it's just taking a while and I wasn't sure whether it should or not [03:10] KillerOrca: gparted [03:11] Panarchy -> nothing [03:11] Panarchy, I am in gparted [03:11] n00bf4rt well you can undo that command with sudo modprobe -i [03:11] "your driver name" [03:11] ow ok xD [03:11] n8tuser: :( Well if you do remember please tell me (via PM) Thanks in advance [03:11] Going to eat breakfast now [03:11] Hell guys! I have a problem with my WLAN in ubuntu I keep getting disconnected pretty often [03:11] ehm could it have anything to do with MTU ? [03:12] KillerOrca: you delete all the partitions until you're left with only free space, and then you create it. But are the 3 partitions, for swap, /home and / ? [03:12] its on automatic, i have no idea what it is, never saw it in windows [03:12] carandraug, they were just 3 partitions that were there [03:12] ville_, is that a poorly formed question; or an observation? [03:12] n00bff4rt um, let me get this straight-you're getting wireless but it's slow? [03:13] yes === kompulsa_dot_com is now known as Tetracom === Tetracom is now known as Tetracomm [03:13] its only 1mbit but it should be 54 [03:13] KillerOrca: ok. Just umount them, and then choose delete. Create a big ext3 then (leave space for swap and /home if you want) [03:13] and the same laptop, same card in windows, no problems [03:13] i think i am going to torrent that partition magic, thanks for the help! [03:13] can anyone in here help me? I have been trying to get my TV card to work but it just doesn't seem to want to scan for the channels I have tried it in myth, kaffeine, tvtime, and dvbscan and nothing I try seems to work the card is a wintv-hvr-1800 as far as I can tell the drivers are installed and updated I am running on ubuntu 8.10 but no matter what program I use it doesnt seem to complete the scan. ... I have checked and the card [03:13] is supposed to be supported by just about everything but I am missing something [03:14] Dalton_T1, defrag in windows first (it will make it MUCH faster) [03:14] n00bf4rt well then it's not an issue with mtu [03:14] Dalton_T1, and make a backup of anything critical [03:14] ok [03:14] alright, thanks stan, i will do that [03:14] carandraug, I deleted them but left no space for swap or home, should I do that? [03:14] might it be capped by some sort of setting? setting it to 1mb/s or something ? [03:14] n00bf4rt: You can force your wireless card to work at 54 [03:15] WebcamWonder, could you tell me how to do this ? [03:15] KillerOrca: you want to copy to backup, or just to later boot from that HDD? [03:15] n00bf4rt: sudo iwconfig rate 54M [03:15] n00bf4rt: Where would be the name of your wireless interface [03:15] iĺl give it a try [03:16] carandraug, to boot from that HDD, but the original install has no separate partition for home only for swap [03:16] ok [03:16] seventoes: the message from Adept Manager is a bit different: in red text BREAK(install) [03:16] #kateos-pl [03:16] KillerOrca: then leave space only for swap [03:16] WebcamWonder: getting, Error for wireless request "Set Bit Rate" (8B20) : [03:16] SET failed on device wlan0 ; Invalid argument. [03:17] carandraug, does it have to be ext3 and how large should it be? [03:17] hello! I need ti install HFS+ support to create a partition with gparted.. [03:17] have any of you ever gotten adobe flash player for firefox working right so it don't run up your cpu? [03:17] n00bf4rt: Is wlan0 the name of your wireless interface? [03:17] yes [03:17] i hate when my machine locks up [03:17] try eth1 [03:17] KillerOrca: for swap, use the same space you have in your current install. It's not ext3, the typse is linux-swap [03:18] weternal, was that for me ? [03:18] k, will do [03:18] n00bf4rt: pastebin iwconfig [03:18] yes [03:18] can anybody help me install HFS+ partition creating support? [03:18] 1 sec, let me try webcamwonders thing first [03:18] oh do what webcamwonder said first [03:18] yeah [03:18] command not found? ^ [03:18] ^^ [03:19] !pastebin | n00bf4rt [03:19] n00bf4rt: 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) [03:19] n00bf4rt: run the command iwconfig, and then paste the output to a pastebin :) [03:19] ow :P [03:20] hello [03:20] Hi ilmob [03:20] http://paste.ubuntu.com/93549/ [03:20] carandraug, ok, that is done, now what [03:20] basic quiestion I'm sure but anyone know how to add to start up? I tried finding System/Preferences/Session but I don't seem to have those options [03:20] how do you left click a macbook mouse in ubuntu [03:21] hey Zygot [03:21] Yep [03:21] i mean right click [03:21] weternal, the Eth thing you said aint that the network interface for cable? [03:21] n00bf4rt: Does the fragment threshold configuration match the one on router? [03:21] allquixotic, any luck with the avi [03:21] KillerOrca: can you pastebin "ls /media", "df -h" and "sudo fdisk -l"? [03:21] eth0 should be the cable interface [03:21] yes [03:21] eth1 is the name for my wireless interface [03:21] n00bf4rt: And Rts? [03:22] ow eth1 is my nic ^^ for cable [03:22] hi all, i had a software raid 1 mirror setup and one of the drives died. I just need to get some data off the good drive. fdisk says the filesystem is "linux raid", how can i mount the drive so i can access the data on the drive? [03:22] Decepticon: We now have a new sub-problem that I'm trying to resolve. Take a genericized avi file and extract the first frame of it as a PNG [03:22] hmmm never heard of rts ^^ [03:22] carandraug, I am in a gparted livecd, so is there anything specific you are looking for? [03:22] This is a more tractable sub-problem though [03:22] let me check my router if i can find anything [03:22] does anyone know how the right click/left click thing works with a macbook mouse? [03:22] weternal: ctrl+ click ? [03:22] not sure.. [03:23] anybody? has anyone been able to create a HFS+ partition in ubuntu? [03:23] KillerOrca: yes. The path to the partitions, where they are mounted, and what's in /media that should be excluded [03:23] allquixotic: ffmpeg can apparently do it, http://mediacoder.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php/FFMPEG_Usage [03:23] allquixotic what exactly does this png look like? its a millisecond long video with the swf file captured in it? or is it a compilation of many swf files or? how is the quality [03:24] Hey. I know this isn't the official Moblock channel, but is there anyone else who give me a bit of help with it? When its enabled, Moblock is blocking all traffic, including HTTP (affecting pidgin/emesene/firefox), FTP, etc, even though it has been slecected as an exception to the blocks using Mobloquer...This should have whitelisted the HTTP connections after it was reloaded... [03:25] WebcamWonder: cant find anything with RTS ^^ [03:25] carandraug so I've got 30 gigs of free space now, how do I add a partition? [03:25] might it be called different ? [03:25] n00bf4rt: RTS Throttle [03:26] Decepticon: the PNG is going to be the first frame of the SWF file [03:26] weternal: that you do in the install menu, in manual mode. Start the install [03:26] carandraug, actually I ran into a problem doing the resize so I have to do it agian [03:27] WebcamWonder: I really cant find it anywhere [03:27] n00bf4rt: Ok, then try: sudo iwconfig wlan0 rate 54M again [03:27] ya regreso [03:27] ok will do [03:27] * Kar1na se va a dormir [03:27] same error again [03:28] carandraug I'm at the manual partition screen [03:28] i've got 32245MB free space after the hfs+ drive [03:29] hey guys can you help me with my wireless [03:29] its not working [03:29] How do i check ther kernel version of my ubuntu? [03:29] hello my frinds [03:29] how are [03:29] you [03:29] happy new year [03:29] manzur: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [03:29] and merry chrsitmas [03:29] smokeymirror: Which chipset is it and what is not working about it? [03:29] i have a question for you [03:29] weternal: ok. Do you want to have separate /home? How much do you ant to leave for swap (if any)? [03:29] do not you think ubuntu menus: application-places-system, are too big? [03:29] How do i check ther kernel version of my ubuntu? [03:29] under iwconfig [03:30] WebcamWonder: try 11M (B instead of G) [03:30] it shows up as wlan0 IEEE 802.11abgn [03:30] how can i do to set them smaller [03:30] R1_: uname -sr in a terminal [03:30] ? [03:30] but it doesn't work [03:30] tobz, ty [03:30] R1_ it should tell you when you start [03:30] can I have some assistance installing sopcast please....? [03:30] weternal, i'm too lazy to restart [03:30] i mean the letter size [03:30] weternal, thanx anyway [03:30] WebcamWonder: anymore suggestions ? [03:30] font size [03:30] can anyone in here help me? I have been trying to get my TV card to work but it just doesn't seem to want to scan for the channels I have tried it in myth, kaffeine, tvtime, and dvbscan and nothing I try seems to work the card is a wintv-hvr-1800 as far as I can tell the drivers are installed and updated I am running on ubuntu 8.10 but no matter what program I use it doesnt seem to complete the scan. ... I have checked and the card [03:30] is supposed to be supported by just about everything but I am missing something [03:30] i tried so many ubuntu tutorials [03:30] Zygot: Nope. Apparently your card's driver doesn't support SET, so it cannot be changed on the fly I presume === Friek is now known as n00bf4rt [03:31] Zygot: Sorry [03:31] n00bf4rt: ^^ [03:31] hehe srry auto nick change, i reconnected ^^ [03:31] well it's 2.26 [03:31] if you're using 8.10 [03:31] tarelerulzl I always copy all the plugins at usr/mozilla/plugins to usr/firefox-3.0.5/plugins and no problems [03:31] I'm trying to get 32-bit Intrepid to play a commercial DVD. (The DVD is good and it plays in my 64Bit Hardy Totem player.) I followed the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/8.10.musicvideophotos/C/video.html#video-dvd but when I put the DVD in and click on it, Totem comes up and crashes. Suggestions? [03:32] smokeymirror: what kind of card is it? who makes it? [03:32] i am on 8.10 [03:32] WOW? O [03:32] Hmmmmm... [03:32] weternal, how come mine says 2.6.27 [03:32] manzur: System -> Appearence -> Fonts, you can change it there [03:33] carandraug how do I set up the partitions in this free space? [03:34] its intel 5100 [03:34] !pm | manzur [03:34] how do i find what card it is [03:34] manzur: Please ask your questions in the channel so that other people can help you, benefit from your questions and answers and ensure that you're not getting bad advice. Please don't PM a user in the channel without asking first, some find it rude. [03:34] carandraug, I am in the gparted livecd, how do I create a swap partition? [03:34] smokeymirror: lspci -m [03:34] WebcamWonder: What does ad-hoc mean @ mode ? in my wireless settings ? [03:34] weternal: you select free space, then click in edit partition. A menu pops up. You select the type of partition, and the space you want for it. [03:34] Decepticon: SUCCESS. [03:34] its on infrastructure now [03:35] allquixotic wow! [03:35] smokeymirror: It would be easier for you to get support if you type the nickname of the one that is trying to help you in front of your message, and keep your response on a single line. This way it will highlight the message and notify them that you've responded [03:35] weternal: where you want /, you choose ext3 and mount point / [03:35] allquixotic i cant believe it [03:35] n00bf4rt: Ad-hoc is for p2p. When 2 pcs are connected together. For routers, managed would be your best choice [03:35] carandraug what partition do I want to select from that menu? the first option is ext3? do I want to mount it at /? [03:35] ow ok [03:35] Decepticon: I can't tell gnash to scale *up* the flash video by 1.6, you'll have to use another resolution, at least for the 0000.swf, because the resolution needs to be a power of 2 for ffmpeg... but I wrote a script that takes swf and dumps png from the first frame [03:35] WebcamWonder: hehe srry iḿ not used to these words, windows didnt have all these terms :P [03:36] KillerOrca: you right click on the unallocated space, choose the size for it, and choose linux-swap in the filesystem option [03:36] n00bf4rt: It has the tendency to sugar-coat many many things [03:36] allquixotic, sure i can use 2.0 or 4.0 [03:36] weternal: you want to choose the one that says "free space". Do not select the ones that already done [03:36] WebcamWonder: have to aggree with that :P [03:36] Decepticon: ffmpeg likes it when i make it a scale of twice as big [03:37] it changes ubuntu desktop font size but it do not change menu font zise [03:37] 1224x1568 [03:37] WebcamWonder: it changes ubuntu desktop font size but it do not change menu font zise [03:37] Decepticon: I think --scale=2.0, --scale=4.0, --scale=8.0, etc will work fine [03:37] allquixotic is that the resolution of the resulting png file [03:37] Decepticon: yes [03:38] allquixotic how much of a quality difference are you seeing between the swf and the png? especially looking at the text [03:38] carandraug right I'm creating a new partition in the free space [03:38] but what format should it have [03:38] allquixotic lets see a png [03:38] hi [03:38] anyone knows a software for downloading from rapidshare or megaupload? [03:39] how do i install a wireless manager (and which one) on ubuntu? [03:39] weternal: ext3 for / and swap for swap [03:39] weternal: you should create at least 2 [03:39] Deception: a moment [03:40] carandraug, this livecd seems to not want to actually create any partitions and I cannot boot [03:40] carandraug: yeah I set up a ext3 and swap, thanks [03:40] can someone help me get a wireless manager on ubuntu [03:40] please [03:41] i'm begging you [03:41] wiuld not it better if in window selector applet we can close windows as in window list applet? [03:41] what wireless nic you have? [03:41] mib_b5ao9k: wicd [03:41] KillerOrca: did you umount them? Try with "sudo cfdisk" [03:41] Crak: i can't figure out what the package name for apt-get is [03:42] i think it isnt an official package [03:42] carandraug, when I create the swap partitoin is it primary or extended? [03:42] so how do i get it? [03:42] hi fag [03:42] what about network manager? [03:42] mib_b5ao9k, network manager handles wireless connections [03:42] yes that one would be good too [03:42] hi fagz [03:42] how do i get network manager? [03:42] techsupport: Please stop [03:42] i tried apt-get install network-manager [03:42] it is an official ubuntu package [03:42] hi. i have just discovered that when i compile a new kernel(linux-2.6.28) with make-kpg(apt-get install kernel-package), and then try to install the .deb it creates, the postinst script doesn't like that i have a /etc/kernel/postinst.d directory(contains one little executable file --> dkms). i've never encountered this problem before when compiling/building a new kernel .deb file with make-kpg. any ideas anyone? have i hit on [03:42] a bug with the make-kpkg script? [03:42] Okay, I tried running Totem from the terminal. (Wow, doc is lacking. totem --play /media/Title) [03:42] apt-cache search network manager [03:42] bleh i'm really losing it xD [03:43] carandraug, when I create the swap partitoin is it primary or extended? [03:43] anyone knows a software for downloading from rapidshare or megaupload? [03:43] HI FAGFZ [03:43] is there something special i need to do to get a samba drive to mount on boot? I think the syntax is correct since 'mount -a' works fine one i boot up all the way. [03:43] Ur all gay [03:43] running inferior distro [03:43] I got : libdvdread: Error cracking css key for /blah/blah/VOB... several of them. [03:43] Decepticon: http://tiyukquellmalz.org/0000.png [03:43] And then it... ran? [03:43] Weird. [03:43] mib_b5ao9k, system .. adminitstration .. network manger it is already installed. [03:43] KillerOrca: it can be primary. Create extended if you end up with more than 4 partitions in the HDD [03:44] allquixotic what scale was this captred at [03:44] carandraug, ok, got that all done now what were the commands you wanted me to run in a terminal? [03:44] Decepticon: 2.0 [03:44] kestrel: i only have network and network-tools [03:44] allquixotic, maybe ill try 4.0 [03:44] weternal: is everything solved then? [03:44] carandraug yes thanks very much [03:45] mib_b5ao9k, choose network [03:45] weternal: ok, cool. No problem [03:45] would not it better if in window selector applet we can close windows as in window list applet??? [03:45] how can i make it so thats its always in the tray at startup [03:45] Hrm. Maybe my other machine just gets through that part so fast that the screen doesn't have time to go dark? (must check. Fascinating.) [03:45] mib_b5ao9k, back to system....preferences...sessions [03:46] it appears to be already there [03:46] how do i use it to scan for networks and to connect to one? [03:46] i had madwifi before but it seems to have gone away [03:46] mib_b5ao9k, is it checked? [03:46] I find plenty of info about mounting windows shares and ext3 partitions on the same machine... but how do I mount an ext3 partition on my local network? [03:46] kestrel: its checked [03:47] onetinsoldier should i give up on trying to find a solution for my time outs? [03:47] Can anyone help me get my wireless drivers to load upon startup? [03:47] kestrel: brb i have to reboot becuase i accidentally shut down madwifi [03:48] mib_b5ao9k, right click on panel and add applet .. find network manager and double click. [03:48] D3RGPS31: i don't know really. that's up to you. it seemed llike to me if n8tuser couldn't figure it out with all the troubleshooting he did, then i don't know what to tell you/think [03:48] onetinsoldier thanks [03:49] :P [03:49] carandraug, I have the terminal open in the gparted live cd, now what? [03:49] i'm upgrading to jaunty :D [03:49] Can anyone here who has the Glossy theme for Hardy upload it somewhere for me? Mine is somehow messed up and I really would appreciate it if someone could help me out. [03:49] D3RGPS31: omg! [03:49] i'll have 2.6.28 before you! [03:49] is there something special i need to do to get a samba drive to mount on boot? I think the syntax is correct since 'mount -a' works fine one i boot up all the way. [03:49] KillerOrca: you enter "sudo cfdisk" [03:50] allquixotic howcan i see what this looks like [03:50] carandraug, I did that now what? [03:50] D3RGPS31: good luck with that! do they have 2.6.28 in there yet? that version of the kernel was just finalized the day before christmas, as a christmas gift ;-) [03:50] hi im back [03:51] WebcamWonder: i read something about installing windows drivers in linux.. is that possible ? [03:51] mib_qsvzec, right click on panel and add applet .. find network manager and double click [03:51] Mike002, [03:51] onetinsoldier RC2 of it [03:51] kestrel: how do i use network-manager to connect to a WEP network [03:51] KillerOrca: sorry. It's "sudo cfdisk /path_to_dev" [03:51] Mike002, http://www.gnome-look.org/content/show.php/Hardy-glossy?content=76950 [03:51] Okay. Other machine does not get errors on opening the css stuff. It is apparently using something called dvdnav which I don't remember installing but let me go google. [03:51] hola! [03:51] Decepticon: give me a moment, I need to prepare some stuff to send to you [03:51] KillerOrca: what's the device you want to change the partitions? sdb, sdc, what? [03:51] or to put on my server rather [03:51] kestrel: i only see network monitor [03:52] carandraug, I got everything partioned out correctly now, that part is done [03:52] mib_qsvzec, that is it. [03:52] I need to set up a server to run some guest OSes. what is a good choice to do this on ubuntu? [03:52] D3RGPS31: roger. now you've got me thinking about installing Jautny on the free space i have available on my hard drive. :-I [03:53] KillerOrca: ok, mount the partition where you want to backup again now [03:53] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=6442326#post6442326 This thread best explains my issue. Any able to help? [03:53] onetinsoldier: i read that it's using xorg 1.6 >.> OOOOoooo! [03:53] mib_qsvzec, once in panel, right click and edit connections, find wireless and edit [03:53] kestrel: how do i scan for wireless networks? [03:53] carandraug, I want to make the new drive a replacement for the old one, and I think it is mounted already since I'm in a livecd [03:53] shoeunited: I don't believe that is it, it doesn't look like it from the preview. The theme I am looking for is the one that comes with Hardy that you can select when going to the Theme tab in Appearance Preferences. [03:53] mib_qsvzec, right click monitor. [03:53] kestrel: im editing the wireless connections but isn't there a feature that allows me to scan for them? [03:53] can anyone suggest the best way to upgrade a 1GB USB thumb drive system? I don't got a lot of free space... [03:53] mib_qxi=o0nj, it should show them automaticly [03:54] n00bf4rt: it only shows the two previous ones that i have connected to [03:54] D3RGPS31: ohhh, nice! now only if dri2 was completed and included in there. but i hear it won't be completed until some months from now [03:54] mib_qxo0nj: ok srry =D [03:54] KillerOrca: you had to umount them to create the new partitions, right? [03:54] mib_qsvzec, wireless scanning is auto [03:54] Mike002, have you checked the repos, even into multiverse? === remission is now known as social [03:55] well I'm not sure what the livecd did but the partitions are there [03:55] kestrel: no its not [03:55] Decepticon: OOOH, I found a bug [03:55] Decepticon: but I fixed it ;) === social is now known as remisean [03:55] D3RGPS31: yeah, i think i'm going to install Jaunty. gotta check it out now that i know you are. :-P [03:55] kestrel: there are like 15 networks in my area but its only showing the two previous ones that i have connected to [03:55] Decepticon: Gnash wasn't scaling properly, I'm having ffmpeg scale it instead :) [03:55] mib_qsvzec, sorry! [03:55] shoeunited: Sorry, I'm not sure what you mean. I'm still kind of new to Ubuntu. [03:55] onetinsolder torrent! :D [03:55] kestrel: :S [03:56] allquixotic hm [03:56] kestrel: can i apt-get wicd or have to build from source? [03:56] allquixotic im attempting some macros to print my swf, at a properly scaled resolution [03:56] Decepticon: I sent you a PNG that was the original image scaled 1.0 with whitespace around it scaled up to 2.0 [03:56] Mike002, that's alright. Open synaptic and look through the extra theme packages. One may contain the glossy theme you want. [03:56] D3RGPS31: ahh, roger. i'll have to get the torrent then and share it. i should do that with 8.10 as well [03:56] mib_qsvzec, no knowing [03:56] allquixotic i was going to ask you about the whitespace [03:56] Decepticon: now I'm uploading a PNG that is the original image without added whitespace, scaled to 3.0 [03:56] KillerOrca: can you please pastebin "df -h" and "sudo fdisk -l" ? [03:56] oh, ick. It all comes back to me. Okay, I know what I gotta go do. I did this once before. It works fantastically, smooth and easy and everything. It's just a lot of steps. :( === remisean is now known as remi_sean [03:57] Decepticon: go to http://tiyukquellmalz.org/0000.png and refresh your web browser [03:57] onetinsolder Thinkin' like a Communist [03:57] any support for http://pdos.csail.mit.edu/scigen/ ? === cafuego is now known as iExpense [03:57] hi guys [03:57] hello while using "Kate" editor even though "Terminal" plugin is enabled I can't see the "Terminal"!!! http://picpaste.com/term.jpg [03:57] hi whenever i try to skip in a video played in totem, the video goes all black [03:57] Decepticon: that's 3.0. I can't get to 4.0 because ffmpeg says it actually has a limit on the encoder which can't go above 2048 resolution on either axis [03:57] carandraug, I am in a livecd so give me a minute === root is now known as Guest16354 [03:58] men me need analog delphi func (repeat) on php [03:58] allquixotic, its a little worrying that that large font is so blurry, which makes me think that other smaller text will be more unreadable :S [03:58] hi. i have just discovered that when i compile the new kernel(linux-2.6.28) with make-kpg(apt-get install kernel-package), and then try to install the .deb it creates, the postinst script doesn't like that i have an '/etc/kernel/postinst.d' directory(contains one little executable file --> dkms). i've never encountered this problem before when compiling/building a new kernel .deb file with make-kpg. any ideas anyone? [03:58] Decepticon: You can use gimp script-fu to get to thousands of pixels in each axis if you really really need high resolution images for some reason; just keep in mind that scaling up the images isn't increasing quality at all, because you're just relying on the pixels that were there in the original SWF [03:58] hi all, I just upgraded from 8.04 to 8.10. Previously, I was able to play cod2 and talk/listen to TeamSpeak by running the command "aoss TeamSpeak". However, now I cannot do both at the same time. Also sound in COD2 under Wine seems a bit slower. Any suggestions, tips, or ideas? [03:58] i'm not precisely an adept at the workings of computers, but i'm using ubuntu on my computer right now - it's working great, but i'm running into some issues installing ubuntu on my mom's computer [03:58] Decepticon: well I can't do anything about that; PNG is lossless, so what you're seeing is basically exactly what we got out of the SWF... the intermediary format is a raw uncompressed video file [03:59] jon_ what kind of issues? [03:59] allquixotic in the original swf, if i scale the original swf upto a humongous resolution, i can obtain a vector image thats got more detail in it [03:59] when i try to boot from the ubuntu cd and install, it finishes loading, then goes to a blank screen [03:59] allquixotic, ive been able to get a higher quality pdf out of my swfs, but i dont hae a way of automating the process [03:59] Decepticon: ok but PNG isn't a vector image, and I don't know of any video formats that are vector either [03:59] jon_ are you installing 8.10 or 8.04 or another version? === iExpense is now known as cafuego [03:59] 8.10. [03:59] allquixotic hmmm, quality is an issue though [04:00] Sounds like a graphics problem. Install went okay....just the blanks screen or reboot? [04:00] * onetinsoldier goes to read the dkms man page [04:00] Or do you get the Ubuntu logo ever when loading? [04:00] Decepticon: I seriously, seriously doubt that the tools I've been using to do this will seamlessly work if we try to switch to something vectorized like SVG... getting anything vector other than SWF or PDF is pretty much a dead-end, and i'm not even sure how you managed to get that PDF [04:00] I can't view h33t.com on linux but i can on mac & windows; ipv6 is disabled [04:00] hi all, I just upgraded from 8.04 to 8.10. Previously, I was able to play cod2 and talk/listen to TeamSpeak by running the command "aoss TeamSpeak". However, now I cannot do both at the same time. Also sound in COD2 under Wine seems a bit slower. Any suggestions, tips, or ideas? [04:01] #wine :D [04:01] jon_ make sure it's not just the screen saver :D [04:01] the ubuntu logo and progress bar shows, it's after completion of that progress bar that the screen goes black. [04:01] allquixotic, i went to http://decepticon.rlogin.org/~decepticon/school/knight2e/gametime3.php?hscale=4.8&wscale=4.8&fileno=0000 (which is scaled 4.8 times up) and printed it to pdf via pdf-printer [04:01] hey, I've got an issue with 8.10. I just installed it and I didn't get any error messages, but then when I restarted the computer, it booted to OSX without going to a boot screen [04:02] allquixotic the problem with that method is that i'd have to do it 1365 times myself, or make a macro [04:02] D3RGPS31, have you tried also h33t.net? I've never run into an issue with that site before (currently running 8.10 have been running since 6.04 - firefox & opera) [04:02] jon_ one thing you can do is make it so that you can see info/text when booting. Helps with seeing where it gets stuck....hang on... [04:02] jon_ Do you know what graphics card is in your mom puter? [04:02] shoeunited: doesn't work :/ [04:03] i know it's with ubuntu now, and not just linux [04:03] D3RGPS31, what browser are you using? [04:03] does anyone know why it wouldn't be using the boot loader? [04:03] shoeunited: doesn't matter [04:03] how do i open up port 5432 on my ubuntu desktop machine? [04:03] anyone know of a weather applet that actually works? [04:03] not offhand, i can try restarting and checking [04:03] D3RGPS31, strange, let me do a little research. [04:04] shoeunited: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=6440821#post6440821 explain my problems [04:04] jon_ press a bunch of buttons on your keyboard and move your mouse [04:04] and what happens [04:04] shoeunited: explains* [04:04] Hi everyone, I'm having a problem when logging into Gnome, it displays as normal for a few seconds, then shows a terminal and then logs out. I managed to get it to work again once, but as soon as I restarted it stopped working. KDE works fine. Can anyone help me out? Where do I start in troubleshooting this? I have no idea! [04:04] shoeunited: I've opened Synaptic Package Manager however I can't seem to find the package that contains the Glossy theme that came with Ubuntu. [04:05] D3RGPS31, check to see that it isn't in your adblock list by mistake. [04:05] well, this time it looks like it's being cooperative so far [04:05] Mike002, just give me a moment to cross check with you. :) [04:05] shoeunited: it's ubuntu :/ [04:05] let's see what happens from here [04:06] So I've got some phantom process that's taking up 500 megs of memory on my system somewhere (I think). My memory usage is consistently 500 MB higher than it should be according to my system monitor processes tab with all processes viewable. Is this a real problem or just me misunderstanding Linux memory management? [04:06] Decepticon: pdf-printer? on Windows or Ubuntu? [04:06] shoeunited: lynx, and firefox can't contact the sites, pinging doesn't work either [04:06] allquixotic this is windows :( [04:06] hello [04:07] Brack10: Linux memory usage is different to Windows', it is also used as a disk cache.\ [04:07] allquixotic, see http://decepticon.rlogin.org/~decepticon/school/knight2e/0000.pdf [04:07] What's the pulseaudio config file you have to modify to get more than 2.1 sound? [04:07] sfer21: got a good FAQ page? [04:07] Brack10: Probably nothing to worry about unless it's slowing your computer severely. [04:07] Brack10: It was mentioned here before... [04:08] sfer21: let's see I have a lot more performance issues running a virtual windows box with virtualbox than I did with Microsoft Virtual PC [04:08] seems to be memory related [04:08] I have a GB in the mail though [04:08] jon_ well? [04:08] Brack10: http://virtualthreads.blogspot.com/2006/02/understanding-memory-usage-on-linux.html [04:08] Brack10, tried vmware server? [04:08] HentaiXP: yep [04:09] HentaiXP: It's actaully VMWare workstation [04:09] HentaiXP: even worse than vbox [04:09] Brack10: But if it is slowing your computer down a lot, it may be an issue. How much RAM do you have in the machine at the moment? [04:09] what's the matter with my install? it's not giving me the grub screen when I start the computer, but I didn't get an error screen [04:09] I have 1 GB and the VM was given 512 MB [04:09] okay, looks like i've at least got a mouse pointer on a blank screen now. I got a little farther this time - got past the taupe background and drum/african choir opening. still, nothing seems to be happening now. restart and try again? [04:10] Brack10, ddr2? 4GB is only 40usd shipped these days if you are in the states [04:10] pc3200 [04:10] 40 usd? where? [04:10] how do you restart pulseaudio? [04:10] allquixotic it seems that scaling up doesnt do anything for the pdf printer... see difference between 1.0 scale and 4.8 http://decepticon.rlogin.org/~decepticon/school/knight2e/0000_1.0.pdf http://decepticon.rlogin.org/~decepticon/school/knight2e/0000_4.8.pdf [04:11] Decepticon: PDFs are capable of holding vector graphics, so that's why [04:11] I'm trying to copy the suggested MergedFB code into a xorg.conf file to make a dual monitor setup, however nothing is happening with the second monitor I've hooked up to my dual head ATI card. What should I be expecting once I copy-paste the code into the xorg file? Is there any other step I'm missing so that my second screen will show some sign it is interfacing with the card? [04:11] somebody have boot puppy linux from a usb [04:11] dsm: not really ubuntu related [04:11] carandraug, ok, this was all copied off screen since the system has no internet access right now, skipped what I htought was unimportant, let me know if I need to do it again http://paste.ubuntu.com/93567/ [04:11] brack10, http://www.pcprogress.com/product.asp?m1=pw&pid=KVR400D2N3K2/4G [04:11] Hey guys, I've got a new laptop with Vista on it, and have been trying to install any of the *buntus, or even test them on it, but I keep getting errors. I've checked the md5sum of the .iso I used to burn and one made from the CD I burned form it against the one online and they match. Is there anything else I should do? [04:11] hello. anyone here that has the 'dkms' package installed and has compiled their own custom kernel from kernel.org using 'make-kpkg(kernel-package through apt)? [04:12] that was just the first link in pricewatch, i'm sure there's others, he was right it's stupid cheap now [04:13] yeah but my memory is pc3200 which is more expensive [04:13] that is 3200 [04:13] squee: what's the problem you're having exactly? at what stage? [04:13] I paid $20 for 4GB DDR2 [04:13] 3200 and 400mhz is the same thing [04:13] oh ok [04:13] 3200 does not mean 3200mhz [04:13] Hello somebody have boot puppy linux from a usb [04:13] D3RGPS31, and it's just h33t.com check /etc/hosts also try using just the ip: 87.233.179.135 [04:13] help [04:13] 50 is a pretty good deal [04:13] After maybe 4 bars into loading, I'm getting lists of errors, sfer21 [04:14] KillerOrca: ok. You need to mount hda1 and hdb1 [04:14] but then I could put that toward my next box [04:14] to be honest though, I really wouldn't trust that site. I'd wait untill after new years and check pricewatch. [04:14] shoeunited: my DNS isn't the problem, and i've check there :/ [04:14] squee: what are the errors? [04:14] *squeee [04:14] sfer21, I/O errors, logical blocks [04:14] it's not that i know that site or anything, but it looks a little shady. [04:14] ok, how do I do that? remember I am in a gparted livecd [04:14] Dante, did you get my last message? I'm probably going to restart again pending a response. [04:14] I'm much more into newegg than pricewatch these days [04:14] squeee: doesn't look like an issue with the cd... [04:15] D3RGPS31, Maybe I mispoke, have you tried H33t's IP address in your address bar? [04:15] jon_ hang on... [04:15] KillerOrca: you know how to do it yourself? [04:15] I got screwed by newegg a few months back so whatever floats your boat. it's your cash :) [04:15] carandraug, no, I do not [04:15] If not then try typing this in your address bar: 87.233.179.135 [04:16] jon_ go ahead and restart then... [04:16] shoeunited: my DNS isn't the problem :/ [04:16] For some time now guys ive had big problems with choppiness of video from all flash/ or streaming media online. I thought it was flash, but I installed chromium browser that uses wine and installed windows version flash and it does the same thing. Is there anything I'm missing here. Everyone seems to think its from flash, but could it be from another source and not flash? [04:16] hi, my gtk is absolute hell, im using intrepid with fglrx (doesnt matter which version, tested like all of them..), with compiz activated its great, everything is smooth, but i would prefer to work without compiz, but without compiz my whole gnome becomes sluggish as hell, i tried several things in xorg.conf, nothing helped [04:16] CountryTrouserTr, system specs? [04:16] hello, whenever i login gnome it displays the wallpaper and cursor then crashes, help? [04:16] CountryTrouserTr, what cpu? [04:16] D3RGPS31, have you tried that address though? y/n? [04:16] Sysinfo for 'Hendershot-desktop': Linux 2.6.27-9-generic running KDE 4.1.3 (KDE 4.1.3), CPU: VIASamuel2 at 350 MHz (701 bogomips), HD: 3/11GB, RAM: 353/367MB, 118 proc's, 1.29h up [04:16] raphre: does it return you to the login screen or display a box? [04:17] sfer21, back to login [04:17] KillerOrca: run "sudo mkdir /media/a1", "sudo mkdir /media/b1", "sudo mount -t ext3 /dev/hda1 /media/a1" and "sudo mount -t ext3 /dev/hdb1 /media/b1" [04:17] CountryTrouserTr, unlike windows and mac, all video processing is done by the cpu. if your cpu is a little weak it will show when trying to watch falsh [04:17] raphre: i happen to be having that exact same issue! [04:17] ok back [04:17] been trying to fix it for a few days, but can't find any help at all. [04:17] does it turn pruple then crash? [04:17] purple* [04:17] hey guys is there a like a widget add on site that has like everything [04:18] system specs quad core amd 2.6, 4 gigs of ddr ram 8200 onboard video card 8 series. [04:18] 10mb internet [04:18] quad core 2.6? [04:18] raphre: it just does it's normal stuff for a few seconds then goes back to the login screen. may be something to do with the startup scripts? [04:18] CountryTrouserTr: /sysinfo [04:18] On windows it is fine [04:18] sounds like time for a new cpu [04:18] jon_ look at http://www.foogazi.com/2007/10/27/remove-the-ubuntu-splash-screen/ [04:18] well again that's because in windows most of the flash processing is done by the gfx card, not the cpu [04:19] 2.6ghz is kinda slow [04:19] Hello. Why is debian faster than ubuntu on older machines? can I tweak ubuntu to be as fast as debian? [04:19] hendershot /sysinfo does nothing [04:19] jon_ to get an idea of where it is hanging [04:19] sfer21, while i was enabling plugins in compiz gnome just crashed and returned me to the login screen [04:19] shoeunited: yes :/ [04:19] headershot: here or in terminal I dont have a script running anymore for xchat [04:19] stan mine is 800 MHz [04:19] that's a little strange though, i've got a amd 3200 with no problems with flash. I can't imagine a quad core would lag. [04:19] yea but quad 2.6 is like a solitair machine [04:19] raphre: ok, try a failsafe gnome session and then you might need to disable compiz from there [04:19] carandraug, how do i mount the drives? [04:19] stan are you serious? [04:19] stan: 2.6 is plenty fast for flash [04:19] D3RGPS31, alright don't worry, I'm working on it, just trying to collect information :) [04:19] im just kidding. [04:19] is it possible to use VLC as a screen capturing tool? [04:19] you are joking right stan [04:19] ;d [04:19] stan: I can run flash on an 1gig amd upstairs fine [04:19] i use a 1.2ghz p4m laptop and flash is fine [04:20] can I uninstall a package and have it reinstall like it's the first time? [04:20] Okay. Now it's got menus on the DVD and all of that appears to be working. (It's the xine backend for totem. Works lots better than the other one.) It still takes a while to undo the DVDs but it's not a new and speedy computer. [04:20] CountryTrouserTr: in here type /sysinfo [04:20] (reconfigure everything etc.) [04:20] anthony, you might want to use recordmydesktop intead [04:20] sfer21, tried that, still doesnt work [04:20] KillerOrca: with these 4 commands [04:20] KillerOrca: run "sudo mkdir /media/a1", "sudo mkdir /media/b1", "sudo mount -t ext3 /dev/hda1 /media/a1" and "sudo mount -t ext3 /dev/hdb1 /media/b1" [04:20] mobodo, sudo apt-get install --reinstall [04:20] CountryTrouserTr, bad video drivers? [04:20] hendershot: /sysinfo doesn't work [04:20] stand: if it runs fine what video card u have [04:20] CountryTrouserTr: Try that in terminal. [04:20] stan: newest nvidia 177 drivers [04:20] CountryTrouserTr: it worked for me [04:21] nickrud: it does not reconfigure :( [04:21] hendershot: you prob. have a script for xchat [04:21] mobodo, what package? [04:21] white-sheep: do what in term [04:21] Hello. Why is debian faster than ubuntu on older machines? can I tweak ubuntu to be as fast as debian? [04:21] nickrud: mythtv [04:21] sysinfo [04:21] raphre: hmm, i don't know. i'm having the problem and it is really annoying. got it to work once, but as soon as i restarted it stopped working again. [04:21] thanks Dante, trying it now - bear with me, this computer's a pretty ugly piece of work [04:21] CountryTrouserTr: im using konversation [04:21] CountryTrouserTr: Install + run sysinfo -- I betcha. [04:21] Dante123, a site, getting its icon from imageshack.us? oO [04:21] nickrud: I screwed up with mysql and I need it to reconfigure its database [04:21] white-sheep: how? [04:21] sfer, i am on icewm right now and i opened nautilus and my wallpaper loaded and my desktop icons, does that mean anything to you? [04:22] hi, where could i find a good selection of gnome desktop themes? [04:22] mobodo, ah, then it might just well be a package other than mythtv: sudo apt-get install --reinstall mythtv-frontend mythtv-database mythtv-backend [04:22] gnome-look.com is pretty crapy [04:22] mobodo: Try sudo aptitude purge (this will remove configuration files too). [04:22] hey...any wireless sniffer tools suggest under ubuntu 8.1 [04:22] hendershot: ive tried konverstaion, mozilla, firefox and now chromium browsers.. All the same [04:22] CountryTrouserTr: sudo aptitude install sysinfo && sysinfo [04:22] how can I go about using VLC as a screen capture tool? [04:23] Does anyone in here speak both french and english well? [04:23] is there a guide to do nfsroot with ubuntu? [04:23] raphre: i'm not sure what my problem is, and i don't know where to start troubleshooting... [04:23] treyk4: if you need help in French, ask in #ubuntu-fr [04:23] nvc, isn't it .org? [04:23] anthony: Somebody answered your question earlier -- "Use recordmydesktop instead" [04:23] carandraug, ok I ran those commands [04:23] oh ok [04:23] sorry [04:23] Lexvegas: yeah, wrong ending [04:23] anthony, you might want to use recordmydesktop intead [04:23] CountryTrouserTr: so have i [04:23] yes its org, com is a lame page :D [04:23] my bad [04:23] hey does anyone know why I wouldn't be able to access ubuntu after installation, the installation completed without error but it went to OSX without going through the grub boot screen does anyone know why that would be? [04:23] got it thank you all so much [04:23] I love this room! [04:23] rww: acutally, I've found the supposed solution to my wifi problem, but it's in french... http://forum.ubuntu-fr.org/viewtopic.php?id=271639 [04:24] just making sure you knew the correct site :) [04:24] treyk4: ah, okay. I know a little, let me take a quick look. [04:24] :P [04:24] ok I installed sysinfo [04:24] but what do u wanna know [04:24] pls how can i improve gtk/gnome 2d performance with fglrx and compiz DEactivated? [04:24] how do i upgrade ubuntu from the iso >.> [04:24] KillerOrca: can you now pastebin "df -h"? I only care for lines starting by "/dev/" so you don't need to paste all lines [04:24] sfer21, i checked my error log and it said that "gnome-wm" wasnt found [04:25] white-sheep: I installed it, now what do u wanna know? [04:25] D3RGPS31: You can only do it with the Alternate ISO, not the desktop ISO. The instructions are at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IntrepidUpgrades#Upgrading%20Using%20the%20Alternate%20CD/DVD [04:25] raphre: that could be a problem... [04:26] Can anyone think of a reason why ubuntu isn't installing, or a solution to get ubuntu to instal on my laptop? There's no errors with the CD, and I'm getting I/O errors and Logical blocks when I try to install [04:26] sfer21, the weird thing is, i never deleted it or even touched it [04:26] hi, whenever i play a video in totem it plays fine until i skip in the video and then it goes to a black screen but the sound still plays. what's wrong? [04:26] squeee, get a working cdrom drive [04:26] I'm looking to buy a new laptop, anyone have any suggestions as to where I can look for specs that are very Linux friendly? [04:26] CountryTrouserTr: I didn't want to know anything -- I only helped you with your sysinfo issue. :o [04:27] A heads-up - every one of these installs has got me a little further into this installation process. This time, everything seems to be going pretty swimmingly. Of course, I probably would have said that at similar points during the previous restarts... in any case, looks like things might be alright from here. I'll let you know if anything gets nuts from here. [04:27] could anyone possibly give me a little advice about uvc-video? I'm getting an error that I don't understand... [04:27] !md5sum | squeee -- Did you check it first? [04:27] !laptop | anthony [04:27] squeee -- Did you check it first?: To verify the integrity of a download, use the md5sum - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM for more [04:27] anthony: Laptop support information can be found on http://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportMachinesLaptops - http://www.linux-laptop.net/ - http://wiki.ubuntu.com/LaptopTestingTeam - http://tuxmobil.org [04:27] treyk4: looks like the solution was blacklisting ath_pci (with "echo 'blacklist ath_pci' | sudo tee -a /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist") and installing the backport kernel modules [04:27] got it [04:27] thanks again [04:27] white-sheep: ahh, well they wanted to know that I already knew what I had haha, but thx, it is a nice gui proggy. [04:28] white-sheep, yes, I checked the md5sums [04:28] my issue is with flash videos online being so crappy and choppy [04:28] I just did a fresh xubuntu install on my laptop. Wireless was too easy. What happened? I have a broadcom 43xx and always had to go through some cutter routine (just did it on someone else's lappy and had to do it on mine again when I went from feisty to hardy--with a gutsy stop between) [04:28] and no one for 6 days now having linux has known a solution for it [04:28] CountryTrouserTr: I wouldn't know. I don't use it myself. >_> [04:28] I'm not complaining, but was a bit blown away. [04:28] craigbass1976, yeah, they automated that a bit better, didn't they :) [04:28] I compile the module for the kernel I have and got no errors up until I tried to modprobe the uvc module [04:28] carandraug, here it is http://paste.ubuntu.com/93571/ [04:28] For some time now guys ive had big problems with choppiness of video from all flash/ or streaming media online. I thought it was flash, but I installed chromium browser that uses wine and installed windows version flash and it does the same thing. Is there anything I'm missing here. Everyone seems to think its from flash, but could it be from another source and not flash? [04:29] nickrud, I'll say. Was that just within the last couple of weeks? [04:29] CountryTrouserTr: slow computer? [04:29] nickrud, I think it was just after Thanksgiving that I did it on a friend's laptop, or just before... [04:29] craigbass1976, it was like that when I installed one of the late 8.10 alphas [04:29] CountryTrouserTr, does VLC work fine? [04:29] !hardware | anthony [04:29] anthony: For lists of supported hardware on Ubuntu see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport - To help debugging and improving hardware detection, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingHardwareDetection [04:29] maco hes got a quad lots of ghz lots of ram lots of hd [04:30] nickrud, this is still 8.4 When did the 8.10 alpha come out? [04:30] D3RGPS31, and you've disabled ipv6 globally? [04:30] I can just type !hardware here? [04:30] !hardware [04:30] craigbass1976, where di you get 8.4 ?! [04:30] shoeunited: yes [04:30] Have I mentioned how much I love these PC speakers? [04:30] craigbass1976, somewhere around august? [04:30] craigbass1976: 8.10 final came out in October (hence its version number) [04:30] stan: oh. ok nevermind. [04:30] !hardware | anthony [04:30] I dont' use a desktop anymore, so I attached them to my new LCD. [04:30] anthony, please see my private message [04:30] ok [04:30] anthony: it's a robot === _aperson is now known as aperson [04:30] !fishing | anthony [04:30] anthony: Please investigate with me only with "/msg ubottu Bot" or in #ubuntu-bots. Search for factoids with "/msg ubottu !search factoid". [04:30] hey does anyone know how to get grub and osx to play nice together? [04:30] sorry newb here [04:31] Hi, is there anyway to check what version of ieee80211 subsystem i have on my ubuntu 8.10 intrepid? [04:31] hahaha... I tried to download a manual for a Radeon HD4830 and got a toaster manual instead :) [04:31] D3RGPS31, You're certain that it's not your DNS and you've tried a free DNS alt like openDNS? [04:31] craigbass1976, they may have backported it of course. 'stable' ubuntu doesn't quite mean the same as 'stable' debian [04:31] rww: wait... how excatly would I install the backport modules? [04:31] has anyone tried ati's catalyst drivers? [04:31] D3RGPS31: success! i found out a package that was installed that i didn't need must have a bug in it(nvidia-common - i'm an ati user so i don't use it) and i purged it frmo my system, and then, my custom linux-image-2.6.28-maroon-bells-amd64_20081226_amd64.deb installed with no complaint whatsoever! [04:31] stan, I just downloaded it yesterday or today. It was on the xubuntu site. My laptop is too much of a turd to run GNOME well now, so I installed the XUB instead [04:31] I just installed 8.10 on a macbook running osx.4 and when I restarted it went straight to osx without running GRUB [04:31] shoeunited: yes [04:31] Hello all. I need help getting rid of an error. I think it's a problem with my sources list, but I'm not sure which entry is causing the error. Here is the link to the error. https://webshare.uchicago.edu/users/sleiva/Public/Error.png?uniq=ebkdie [04:32] onetinsoldier: D: i downloaded the wrong disc image :/ [04:32] carandraug, I ran the 4 commands you gave me, now what do i do? [04:32] StevenX: edgy is no longer supported [04:32] weternal, macs hate all other OS ;) [04:32] nickrud, I have yet to run a linx box that was as buggy as windows 98. I didn't use much windows after that, so I can't say how it compares to later windows [04:32] StevenX: you need to upgrade [04:32] D3RGPS31: oh? how did you manage that? wrong architecture? [04:32] weternal, you'll probably need to keep asking, at about the same rate :) macs aren't real common here, but useful help comes through [04:32] nickrud, the only blue screens I've seen are my wallpapers though [04:32] D3RGPS31, I'm sorry then. :( This is a real pickle. I'm gonna have to pass the torch on this one. It's over my knowledge and my google-fu. :( Sorry I couldn't help. But there's plenty of other well informed people who may have your answer. [04:32] craigbass1976, then you never compiled linux from scratch :_) [04:32] KillerOrca: "rsync -acvSHx --exclude lost+found /media/b1/home /media/a1/" [04:32] onetinsoldier: desktop iso, not alternative >.> [04:32] adam7, how can I go about doing that? I thought I had upgraded. [04:33] My installations fail on the kernel event manager and when trying to check file systems [04:33] treyk4: give me a sec, the instructions for it are eluding me [04:33] nickrud well I'm not the mac user--I believe in freedom :), but I've got a convert, so I'm trying to get it to work with her OSx install [04:33] * D3RGPS31 checks off shoeunited as number 6 [04:33] StevenX: upgraded to dapper or something? [04:33] nickrud, no, I did not. Always wanted to, but never got around to it. I hear linux-from-scratch is quite a learning experiance [04:33] KillerOrca: sorry, it's "rsync -acvSHx --exclude lost+found /media/b1/home/ /media/a1/" [04:33] rww: alright, I'm still googling it myself [04:33] carandraug, and that will allow me to use the new hard dirve as a replacement? [04:34] KillerOrca: nonono. Wait. Give me 1 minute [04:34] craigbass1976, it's been 7 or 8 years now, and I still run off a lot I learned then [04:34] Hi, is there anyway to check what version of ieee80211 subsystem i have on my ubuntu 8.10 intrepid? [04:34] ok back [04:34] treyk4: sudo apt-get install linux-backports-modules-intrepid, I think [04:34] adam7, this is what i get in the about ubuntu window: Thank you for your interest in Ubuntu 8.10 [04:34] - the Intrepid Ibex - released in October 2008. [04:34] [04:34] D3RGPS31: oh. i could see how since Jaunty is an alpha/beta, you would want the alternative image. still, i'll ask, what's wrong with getting and trying the desktop iso image? [04:34] maco: its not the fastest but slow for flash no its not [04:34] StevenX: ok, run sudo apt-get update [04:34] onetinsoldier: no idea how to upgrade from it [04:34] stan: vlc works fine for videos from harddrives, xvid dvds ect.. just nothing online that has flash [04:34] D3RGPS31: i see [04:34] nickrud, every time I get a box I think will do, I need a server somewhere in a hurry [04:34] onetinsoldier: upgrading from iso or CD is only supported by the alternate iso, not the desktop iso, according to the wiki [04:34] rww: Thanks! I'll try that [04:35] craigbass1976, you'll want to use a partition on a working machine (required to do lfs), just set up a small partition you'll be chrooting into [04:35] anyone know what command will let me see the bindings of my devices? [04:35] adam7, I did that. Got the same error: W: Failed to fetch http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/edgy/universe/binary-i386/Packages.gz 404 Not Found [04:35] E: Some index files failed to download, they have been ignored, or old ones used instead. [04:35] steven@ub [04:36] for fun i just compiled a new kernel (.28) for hardy.. and it works... will i run into "issues" if i run it under that kernel? [04:36] rww: ahh-ha. roger. i am thinking about installing jaunty fresh on my available free hard drive space. i'm thinking i'll try the desktop image [04:36] D3RGPS31, One note though. I don't have your system specs, but I did find a couple messages that led to a possible hardware/ubuntu issues. If I were you, I'd cross reference my hardware and similar ping related problems. [04:36] StevenX: can you pastebin /etc/apt/sources.list ? [04:36] adam7, will do. Give me a sec to give you the URL. [04:36] shoeunited: i'm lazy :/ [04:37] hey guys im reinstalling my kubuntu with an official disk can anyone help me with this [04:37] StevenX: edgy is unsupported, and its packages aren't on *.archive.ubuntu.com. You'll need to edit your sources.list to point to a new server whose URL i'm trying to find... [04:37] I wonder if one do know what 'Configuration for ALSA' in https://help.ubuntu.com/community/TextToSpeech does? [04:37] adam7, http://paste.ubuntu.com/93578/ [04:37] rww: he supposedly upgraded to 8.10 [04:37] For some time now guys ive had big problems with choppiness of video from all flash/ or streaming media online. I thought it was flash, but I installed chromium browser that uses wine and installed windows version flash and it does the same thing. Is there anything I'm missing here. Everyone seems to think its from flash, but could it be from another source and not flash? [04:37] D3RGPS31, Apparently these hardware related issues were fixable. But since I wasn't looking for hardware, there wasn't any information to cross reference. They claimed to have fixed it, but didn't give any system specs themselves. [04:37] adam7: ah, didn't see that, thanks [04:38] D3RGPS31, If you would like I can talk to you in PM for a moment. [04:38] nickrud, you any good with apache? [04:38] rww, thank you for your help. I thought I had upgraded to 8.10. At least that is what Ubuntu tells me when I go to System --> About Ubuntu [04:38] shoeunited: alright [04:38] StevenX: find all the lines with edgy in them, and put a # in from of them [04:38] D3RGPS31: time for me to reboot now that i successfully installed the new kernel! - i'm off to see the kernel, the wonderful kernel of linux. because, because because... because of the wonderful things he does. hehe [04:38] CountryTrouserTr: random shot in the dark: do you have compiz enabled? if so, turn it off and see if that helps [04:38] rww: no problem [04:38] craigbass1976, simple stuff: I run servers for prototyping drupal sites [04:38] KillerOrca: ok, it's "rsync -acvSHx --exclude lost+found /media/b1/ /media/a1/" [04:38] onetinsoldier: i hope you panic [04:38] drupal=? [04:38] hey...any wireless sniffer tools suggest under ubuntu 8.1 [04:39] any idea why the graphics look corrupted in pydance? [04:39] rww: I did have , but I formatted and started over to see if I could find out a solution.. So no compiz is not enable at the current time. [04:39] D3RGPS31: :-P rofl [04:39] any one can answer me..thanks [04:39] Pinky, check out aircrack-ng [04:39] nickrud, I've erased /var/www and have www in my home directory, then made a link in /var to it. WOrked in the past, but now I'm getting a message when I go to localhost about downloading some PHTML file [04:39] carandraug, and that will create a replacement HDD? [04:39] KillerOrca: this should backup everything from one HDD to another. Then, if you'll need to edit /media/a1/etc/fstab to boot from that HDD [04:40] ok, let me run that command [04:40] rabid...what cmd can install aircrack-ng [04:40] craigbass1976, better is to edit /etc/apache2/sites-available/default . I do the same, and then change /etc/apache2/envars to run apache as myself [04:40] adam7, I commented out two lines, 59 & 62. [04:40] Pinky, should be sudo apt-get install aircrack-ng [04:40] StevenX: ok, then apt-get update again [04:40] shit [04:40] did so. seemed to work without any problems. [04:40] !ohmy | deadamerican [04:40] deadamerican: Please watch your language, attitude and topic to help keep this channel friendly and helpful. Remember, there are kids here! [04:41] should I enable one of them and see if I get the problem again? [04:41] nickrud, gah... I could just put it back and put a link in my home dir... [04:41] whatch your language deadamerican [04:41] i am friendly [04:41] may i repeat my question: for fun i just compiled a new kernel (.28) for hardy.. and it works... will i run into "issues" if i run it under that kernel? [04:41] hi, where can i get support on the totem movie player? [04:41] any support for http://pdos.csail.mit.edu/scigen/ ? [04:41] i got something you can watch CountryTrouserTr [04:41] smooth flash video [04:41] profanity is not prohibited here [04:41] i didnt say vista [04:41] lol [04:42] shut up [04:42] you know its getter [04:42] craigbass1976, I like to work within the system :) the only issue I had is with phpmyadmin, had to add a blowfish_secret to it's config [04:42] err [04:42] better [04:42] deadamerican: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [04:42] sumo_su, shouldnt have any issues [04:42] deadamerican: do you have a support question? [04:42] dont flood american [04:42] carandraug, it said bash: rsync: command not found [04:42] ok i will paste my antics then [04:42] jesus [04:42] sumo_su, as long as it runs fine [04:42] hello. I installed on an celeron 750 ubuntu 8.10, and after that ubuntustudio 8.10. I'm under the impression ubuntu studio performs better on older machines. Would that make sense? [04:43] deadamerican, support questions only, and think disney G rated for language ;) [04:43] nickrud, I've never used phpmyadmin for mor ethan a couple minutes, and that was always with someone over my shoulder. Gimme a command line and I'm all set. [04:43] probably too intuitive for me to grasp [04:43] adam7: yes i do, flash is choppy [04:43] usser: any test i could run to see if everything is ok? [04:43] choppier then that disney pirate movie [04:43] now deadamerican you are annoying but Im having same issue [04:43] craigbass1976, it's nice for making quick changes in a row (critical for when I break drupal's database :) [04:43] whoa? [04:43] with linux [04:43] bs [04:43] yes [04:44] whats the unzip command [04:44] no with dos, yes linux [04:44] KillerOrca: hmmm! You said you weren't in a Ubuntu LiveCD right? [04:44] damn, we should go get some coffee and talk about our "linux" issues [04:44] Slack_, unzip [04:44] Slack_, unzip [04:44] Slack_, or, right click the zip file [04:44] sumo_su, apart from testing your hardware, ie wifi, graphics etc. i cant think of any. compiling the kernel nowadays is not such a big deal. but if u do want to run some tests look into phoronix test suite [04:44] makes sense [04:44] nickrud, I do cheat some and use OOBase to edit databases sometimes though... [04:44] deadamerican: what flash applet is choppy? [04:44] hello. I installed on an celeron 750 ubuntu 8.10, and after that ubuntustudio 8.10. I'm under the impression ubuntu studio performs better on older machines. Would that make sense? [04:44] carandraug, yeah i'm in a gparted livecd, would a puppy livecd work? [04:45] usser: k thanks! [04:45] gparted is kewl proggy [04:45] adam7: not an applet, all flash based video and websites, like watching in slow motion [04:45] BobPenguin: better than...what? [04:45] so its choppy like mine right? [04:45] ive enabled renderaccel and all the other good stuff, but no change at all [04:45] deadamerican: what graphics card? [04:45] nvidia 8200 [04:45] looks like an old film strip when you was 3, that was getting at by the reel. [04:45] ate [04:45] D3RGPS31: back [04:46] onetinsoldier: how is it [04:46] KillerOrca: I don't know what programs exist in those LiveCD. Maybe it comes with rsync [04:46] search [04:46] maco, ubuntu studio better than plain ubuntu. Maybe they took out compliz or something. I would like to know so I know wheter to install ubuntustudio again on the box [04:46] CountryTrouserTr: just like that, 8fps [04:46] nickrud, duh.... So I installed all the php modules, apache, and mysql, but forgot to install php... [04:46] deadamerican: more like 3fps [04:46] flashing betty boop movie [04:46] rflol [04:46] flash and linux can't beat windows thats for sure [04:46] BobPenguin: no, ubuntu studio is just regular ubuntu + some stuff for doing video editing...and video editing would be something that requires a faster computer [04:46] nickrud, perhaps THAT was the issue [04:46] CountryTrouserTr: does it use full cpu when you run the flash applet? [04:46] and all the ppl that has this problem it looks like someone here would know how to fix it [04:46] thanks maco [04:46] BobPenguin: xubuntu is the light-weight ubuntu [04:47] BobPenguin: it uses xfce instead of gnome [04:47] carandraug, I will boot into the livecd and check for rsync, will be a little while, could you PM what I have to edit in fstab? [04:47] CountryTrouserTr: agreed amongst other things that errr win still bests the frozen bird [04:47] CountryTrouserTr: flash on mine works just as well as flash on XP [04:47] adam7: I use 2.6ghz I mean if flash uses that much then linux isn't the os for me. [04:47] * nickrud is avoiding all talk of flash issues, afraid of infections [04:47] adam7: what video card you have? [04:47] CountryTrouserTr: no, it runs fine on my 1.8ghz -- your graphics card? [04:47] adam7: I have no idea how much it uses, but surely 2.6 ghz dual core is plenty [04:47] thanks maco. I tried that too but there was not much difference. I did also try debian and that was faster, but software offer is not as good as ubuntus [04:47] BobPenguin: there's also a fluxbuntu and an ubuntu-lite somewhere in existence, but they dont get support in here. i assume they have their own channels. [04:47] * IndyGunFreak talks to nickrud about flash [04:47] Can someone help me out? in the terminal /sbin/iwconfig doesn't show any wireless networks? [04:47] BobPenguin: er, debian is where we get all our packages [04:48] KillerOrca: you'll need to find the UUID of the partitions and switch them for the apropriate [04:48] * nickrud turns IndyGunFreak's weapon back on him [04:48] adam7: 8200 series onboard, so in other words 750a sli 500mhz with 512 ram [04:48] 8200 issue im guessing [04:48] :) [04:48] CountryTrouserTr: ah, both you and deadamerican have an 8200 [04:48] hey IndyGunFreak long time no see [04:48] BobPenguin: did you not enable all of debian's repositories? [04:48] does the same with my 8500gt [04:48] nickrud: eh, i'm around.. mostly lurk nowdays, tend ot hang out in off topic channels, but i pop in from time to time [04:48] KillerOrca: you can find the UUID with "ls -lF /dev/disk/by-uuid/". Then you edit fstab with the new values [04:48] adam7: I guess so, but its not just 8200's, ive read on google 100 cases or more [04:48] D3RGPS31: i'll have to use it some to be able to tell if it speedier, more peppy. i expect it to be though since i totally customized it. i do have a problem though. sounds isn't working. i don't think i left anything out as if iirc, when i compiled rc-X versions of this kernel i had sound. but i'll have to look at my config or look around on my system to try and figure that out [04:49] BobPenguin: if you dont need any of the restricted modules, it'd also be possible to recompile the kernel with less stuff so it's faster, but that requires knowing exactly what you do and don't need [04:49] adam7: all I know is windows I have no problem at all [04:49] driver issues [04:49] errrr [04:49] i mean "module" issues [04:49] adam7: linux its like watching a porn tape in super slow mode with choppy buffering on a 7 baud modem. [04:50] WOW [04:50] CountryTrouserTr: does the desktop effects (ie, compiz) work? [04:50] maco, I guess I did not. Can I get all the ubuntu packages for debian? I just read somtihng in the net about debian beiing slow at realeasing packages, and for instance I did get wine 0.8 or something from debian, while I think wine has got to 1.0 already [04:50] adam7: yes it works great, although its disable at the moment [04:50] deadamerican: you can say driver. i mean, they are drivers. and not all drivers are modules. they can be compiled in. [04:50] Im formating a 8g memory card for my internet tablet, whats better in performance, ext2 vs fat32? [04:50] anything loaded into the kernel is a module [04:50] driver is a windows term [04:51] been that way for 15 years now [04:51] I thought a driver was someone who uses an automobile :) [04:51] lol [04:51] firefox on ubuntu intrepid is very slow [04:51] KillerOrca: you got it? I'll leave to eat something now, ok? [04:51] adam7: so any solutions? [04:51] alright guys, it's started the final installation. [04:51] can anyone help me with it [04:51] CountryTrouserTr, thats a common misperceptoin.. that person might also be a passanger [04:51] deadamerican: it's official title is : ATI Catalyst™ 8.12 Proprietary Linux x86 Display Driver [04:51] joljam: yeah try flash it's extra slow then lol [04:52] BobPenguin: oh you just mean the versions? ok, well see debian releases when it's ready. ubuntu releases every 6 months, whether it's really stable or not. that means sometimes stuff gets old by the time it reaches debian stable. they're about to release lenny as stable though. and they have more options than "stable" and "not stable" (what ubuntu has). they have stable (often older versions), testing (somewhat newer), unstable (what it says), and exper [04:52] samd: you probably won't notice any difference in performace. Fat32 doesn't support files larger than 4GB, and doesn't support file permissions. If you don't need the card to be compatible with other operating systems (like Windows), just use ext2. [04:52] How can I make a script load at startup? [04:52] onetinsoldier: i read that sound did have problems with the new kernel [04:52] pentaside: on computer boot or user login? [04:52] pentaside: system ->pref->sessions ... add it to startup [04:52] adam7: dont care what they call it, they are using "friendly" terms since people are still trying to make linux more accessible [04:52] stan: perhaps, but only in drives ed :) [04:52] computer [04:52] drivers [04:52] pentaside: er, thats for at login [04:52] D3RGPS31: oh? really? dang, that's a bummer to hear [04:52] I just want to thank you guys, for what it's worth. Linux is a pretty amazing thing to have around, and having an IRC channel dedicated to support for its installation is a blessing to the computer world. Thanks so much all! (Hopefully, I won't be bugging you for more help in a couple hours.) [04:53] rww, alright, thanks, ill go with ext2 as i dont use windows [04:53] I cant never get my wireless to work unless I run this script first. [04:53] jon_, don't forget us, as you learn you can help the newer people [04:53] hello, I'm having trouble getting osx and 8.10 to play nice with each other, I installed 8.10, and when I restarted it skipped past the grub boot loading screen [04:53] right to OSX [04:53] CountryTrouserTr, what flash player are u using/. [04:53] pentaside: you can put it in /etc/rcS.d/ [04:53] stan: I'm using flash 10, nonfree version [04:53] thanks for the info maco [04:53] CountryTrouserTr / deadamerican : what architecture are you using? [04:54] adam7: 32, 64 wouldn't install [04:54] adam7: does it with both 32 and 64 for me [04:54] thank nick, although I've been happy with ubuntu since installation, my familiarity with it is still on the level of "tourist with phrasebook." all the same, it seems like a good way to volunteer help. [04:54] pentaside: look how files are named in there. the S is for starting things (so starting the script) and the number tells what order to do it [04:54] What kind of file should it be? [04:54] Ok. [04:54] D3RGPS31: i'll probably hadly use this kernel if that's true. plus the fact that that the stock kernel is what's really made to use with the system, and i like having my fglrx driver installed. although the next version of it will probably be made to work with 2.6.28 [04:54] hardly* [04:54] does anyone know how to get the grub loader to play nicely with OSX [04:54] I don't have to install boot camp do I? [04:55] fallout.org [04:55] maco, not a good idea. It should be put into /etc/init.d, and linked into rcS.d, somewhere after S90 [04:55] CountryTrouserTr, have you tried libflash-mozplayer? [04:55] nickrud: :( that requires explaining symlinks [04:55] is it possible to "blank" a dvd-r? just so that the data thatst there gets ignored and the disk looks blank but with less space [04:55] Hilikus, with a sharpie [04:55] stan: yes [04:55] a sharpie?? [04:55] maco, probably he could just put the contents of the script into /etc/rc.local and be better off then [04:55] guys i have a dell xps and the keyboard,touchpad,fingerprinter,and webcam do not work. help me! [04:55] adam7: but i guess its a nvidia issue, passing most options in xconfig seem to have no effect, except nologo [04:55] use a sharpie and color over the data :) [04:56] Hilikus: No. DVD-Rs are write *once* media. [04:56] pentaside: do what nickrud just said [04:56] geeksquad, seriously? call your office [04:56] what do you mean [04:56] I mean call work [04:56] its my computer [04:56] and ask them [04:56] geeksquad: how did you install ubuntu if none of it works? [04:56] geeksquad: stan's making a lame joke based on your name being the same as that of Best Buy's tech support people [04:56] Well maybe this isn't what I want to do. All I know is that I got my wireless working by following some instructions online. The last instructions were make install, make unload, make load. And unless I run that each time I startup, my wireless doesn't work. [04:56] adam7: good question [04:57] maco: I have this idea it may not be Ubuntu that doesn't work ;) [04:57] pentaside: wait what? you shouldnt have to reinstall the driver every boot! [04:57] pentaside: what's the name of the wireless module you compiled? [04:57] I don't know... Can I post a link to show you the instructions I followed? [04:57] pentaside: yes please [04:58] adam7: see what i wrote? [04:58] Can someone help me out? in the terminal /sbin/iwconfig doesn't show any wireless networks? [04:58] woody86: you have a wireless card? [04:58] deadamerican: yeah, and I don't have any suggestions [04:58] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1022462 [04:58] deadamerican, I'm connected to my wireless network right now :) [04:58] woody86: doing lspci seem to list it?....or lsusb?

[05:05] how can i make firefox remember a reasonable screen size to attain when unmaximized? currently, unmaximizing it makes it about 2% (like 50 pixels) smaller than fully maximized. also, can i do it without erasing all my bookmarks and whatnot? [05:05] It is 711, no it came from a cd [05:05] pentaside: whats the wireless card you're having trouble with? and why not try installing linux-backports-modules if you need an updated compat-wireless?

If you install the latter, a new option will appear in your appearance properties - See also !compiz - Help in #compiz-fusion [05:05] CountryTrouserTr, sudo dpkg -r flashplugin-nonfree [05:05] adam7: I was thinking maybe it would fit or work out with finalization, but it didn't work [05:05] geeksquad: sudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst [05:06] and then [05:06] geeksquad: he means gksudo gedit [05:06] ra: where did you get this cd image? [05:06] and my bandwidth is still throttled under ubuntu :/ [05:06] stan: why not sudo apt-get remove flashplugin-nonfree the opposite of the installation [05:06] !gksudo | white-sheep [05:06] adam7: A cd? [05:06] white-sheep: If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why) [05:06] I'm using an Atheros, I'm not really sure of the exact model number. And I'm not sure "why not" cause I'm a complete newb and have no idea what I'm doing. [05:06] white-sheep: sudo is only for command line apps. graphical apps use gksudo [05:06] adam7, Broadcom 4311 card, and the Broadcom STA Driver in 'Hardware Drivers' [05:06] tensei, you can use ctl-f and search for kernel-image . Ubuntu doesn't remove kernels that it upgrades, unlike nearly all other packages, Just In Case [05:06] how can i check if the hard drive performs well? [05:06] stan: also where can I get flash 9 at?

[05:07] CountryTrouserTr, im humoring you -- but my amd 3500 plays videos fine w/ flash 10 :( [05:07] pentaside: it's a package. you can find in system -> administration -> synaptic package manager [05:07] white-sheep: menu.ist is open [05:07] tensei, the higher the number, the later the release.

[05:08] !i/o [05:08] Sorry, I don't know anything about i/o [05:08] how can i make firefox restore to its default size when unmaximized? currently it goes from full screen to just slightly less than full screen which is useless. i want to unmaximize it into a reasonable window size and have it remember that size. suggestions? [05:08] ra: are you sure it isn't a DVD? [05:08] tensei, so 2.6.9.19 is later than 2.6.9.13 for example [05:08] i did do gksudo [05:08] jucaoma, why not just install the apps you want from ubuntu studio? [05:08] pentaside: install the one that's just l-b-m with no numbers [05:08] geeksquad: Good -- Now run a find function -- Look for defoption [05:08] its open again [05:08] stan: how do you disable hardware decoding for flash10 in linux [05:09] CountryTrouserTr, i would have to google it? [05:09] pentaside: itll always pull the right one ith numbers every time you get a kernel update to keep your drivers updated [05:09] adam7: I would have said yes, but the other 2 disks are under 700mbs [05:09] anyone use fluxbox? [05:09] geeksquad: Do you see "# defoptions=quiet splash" [05:09] stan: ok then google it :)))) [05:09] lol [05:09] trey_: i have. what's the problem?

And thanks in advance. [05:09] adam7: Playstation One [05:09] ra: ah [05:09] maco: I was wanting to know how to set up keyboard shortcuts to move windows around [05:10] nickrud: I search for kernel-image and nothing comes up [05:10] stan: I have a dual core, not quad cord [05:10] geeksquad: Add a boot parameter -- To this -- "# defoptions=quiet splash i8042.nomux=1" [05:10] core [05:10] adam7: Not sure if we had Dvds back then. [05:10] tensei, sorry, linux-image [05:10] Maco: Installed... reboot? [05:10] trey_: oh. ok nevermind i cant help with that. the most configuration i've done is the menu. fluxbox's website should be able to tell you i think [05:10] Adam7, PSX == play station 1 [05:10] pentaside: yes [05:10] geeksquad: That'll fix your touchpad issue. [05:10] ra: hi, i have that version of final fantasy for the pc, ff7. i wonder what it goes for on e-bay, hehe. [05:10] Maco: BRB. [05:10] ra: me neither :D [05:10] what will this do [05:10] trey_, it's already set for keyboard movement: alt-f7 for move, alt-f8 for resize [05:10] Your mouse won't fly around and shit when you move your fingertip on the touchpad. [05:10] trey_, oh, fluxbox. sorry [05:10] ra: did you dd it off the CD? [05:10] CountryTrouserTr, i guess disabling 3 would be overkill. [05:10] @ geeksquad [05:11] adam7: Yes [05:11] CountryTrouserTr, boot w/ 1 cpu and 1gb ram, vesa or nv driver... [05:11] geeksquad: Close it and run this -- "sudo update-grub" [05:11] thanks now i reboot right [05:11] onetinsoldier shoeunited goodnight :D [05:11] stan: but I dont have a quad core, I have a dual core.

[05:11] D32: take care and see ya later :-) [05:12] Has anyone gotten the Intel P43 to work with ALSA yet? [05:12] stan: why are you humoring me still? Why would I want to disable my cores and ram, thats kinda wierd [05:12] CountryTrouserTr, incase thats part of the issue? [05:12] ra: where did you see that the image is 711mb? [05:12] magaio: #ubuntu-audio-help [05:13] stan: I dont think that is the issue [05:13] maco: thx [05:13] magaio: i'll try to help you over there [05:13] shrugs :) [05:13] adam7: where do u get flash 9 if u think that is the problem. [05:13] maco - thanks :) [05:13] stan: I didn't mean to sound rude bro, I just dont think that's the issue [05:13] CountryTrouserTr: I don't know -- Google probably does though :D [05:13] adam7: I have worn out my welcom with google. [05:13] CountryTrouserTr, well .. one day.. when you feel bored.. boot with cpu=1 and maxram=1024 just for kicks [05:13] adam7: nautilus, plus Brazero gives me an error, claiming there is not enough room on a 700mb cd [05:14] nickrud, Something screwed up because I forgot php5 (I imagine) and removing/purging things fixer 'er up in good shape. [05:14] In case you wondered [05:14] craigbass1976, yeah, that purge/install cycle fixes an amaziing number of things [05:14] Maco: That didn't work either. [05:14] I had to run those commands again. [05:14] Maybe use something like NERO [05:15] ra: well, I don't know :/ [05:15] nickrud, I wonder... does it work on wives and kids? [05:15] pentaside: oh. hrm... [05:15] adam7: Maybe use something like Nero, and that will say there isn't enough room, warn me, and let it burn [05:15] ra: you can try [05:15] craigbass1976, virtual ones [05:15] ra, adam7: k3b [05:15] ra: you could also use dd to truncate the end of the file [05:15] pentaside: do you need to do all 3? just "make load" should be enough, i think... [05:15] * craigbass1976 wonders about co-workers... [05:15] Yea... I thought about it, and thats all I did this time. [05:16] pentaside, you could put the commands in /etc/rc.local (without sudo, since rc.local will run as root) [05:16] Like I said, I'm new... so once I thought about it, I just ran make load. [05:16] adam7,Gnea: I know some file formats are just wrong, like a bin cue can say 711, but only be 690mbs. K3b is awesome, but I use Gnome, tried KDE didnt like [05:16] I tried, but it want let me save. Says I dont have permission. [05:16] white-sheep: it worked now how to fix the fingerpad and webcam [05:16] ra, you can use K3b with gnome [05:16] anyone know if ext4 is going to be implemented in the next ubuntu incarnation? [05:16] *fingerprinter [05:16] ra: it doesn't matter what you use, k3b will work with gnome [05:16] pentaside, gksu gedit /etc/rc2.local you need permission ;) [05:16] pentaside: hey you're learning already ;) [05:17] ra: yo ucan install k3b with gnome (but it does install extra depends) [05:17] craigbass1976,Gnea: Yeah, but I feel weird installing KDE libraries [05:17] pentaside: well you can try putting "cd /home/pentaside/compat-wireless-2008-10-31 [05:17] ra: that's silly. [05:17] pentaside: ack! [05:17] ra, use cdrecord in the command line. It's the backend to all of those anyway [05:17] how do you open an executable from the terminal? [05:17] pentaside: well you can try putting "cd /home/pentaside/compat-wireless-2008-10-31 && make load" into /etc/rc.local [05:17] keres, vi? [05:17] pentaside: change the /home.... stuff to match wherever your directory is [05:17] white-sheep: r u there [05:17] geeksquad: What webcam issue? [05:18] Gnea: it's not that unusual to not want to install tons of extra libraries for one app [05:18] craigbass1976: Will give it a shot, can I do man cdrecord? [05:18] craigbass1976, I think they use wodim now [05:18] the webcam wont work tell me what to do [05:18] geeksquad: sudo aptitude install cheese [05:18] nickrud, What? Criminy... [05:18] brb... trying again. [05:18] ra, I have a script I wrote. I'l hunt a bit and post it somewhere [05:18] ra: i think gnomebaker is a really nice gnome cd burner. though brasero (the default) is actually nice too [05:18] craigbass1976: does not work [05:19] craigbass1976, I'm way out of date, but it's probably because of the attitude of the cdrecord maintainer, he hated some of the changes to cd stuff in the kernel [05:19] maco: i can try gnome baker, brasero gave me an error [05:19] nickrud: that's not why [05:19] nickrud: that's a side-effect [05:19] keres, a binary executable? [05:19] adam7: that link u sent me was dealing with flash9 issues not flash10 and go to flash 9 for help. Why send me to a flash 9 error page and tell me to get 9 if it has same probs [05:19] maco, hehehe [05:19] nickrud: the real reason is licensing that doesn't fit the DFSG [05:19] craigbass1976: i don't know [05:19] craigbass1976: awesome [05:19] CountryTrouserTr: that page said that one version of flash 9 didn't have that problem [05:19] if you do a head filename is it all gobbly gook? [05:19] maco, ah, out of date. But obstinate devs are annoyances anyway [05:20] white-sheep: cheese won't work i dont see the output from the webcam [05:20] Did you run cheese? [05:20] yes [05:20] nickrud: of course the dev tries to argue, against Debian *and* Sun, that the CDDL is GPL-compatible when it is not [05:20] geeksquad: Hmm. Let me find you the link -- I have it somewhere. [05:20] link to whta [05:21] maco, I'm remembering all the ugly text whenever I wanted to use anything other than scsi addressing. But that was a long time ago [05:21] craigbass1976: i tried puting a symlink in for it, causes a segfault [05:21] geeksquad: try a kamorama [05:21] geeksquad: some webcams work with v4l v1, some with v4l v2, some with both [05:21] kamorama? where do i get it [05:22] geeksquad: http://jesperdj.pbwiki.com/Ubuntu-on-the-Dell-XPS-M1530 [05:22] maco: Gnomebaker trudged through the overburn. Awesome good Idea [05:22] geeksquad: the repos [05:22] ra: does that mean "it worked"? [05:22] thanks join my channel #geektalk [05:22] craigbass1976: nevermind, got it :) [05:22] maco, adam7, cragbass1976: Yeah, It burned perfectly with Gnomebaker [05:23] ra: well there you go :) [05:23] ra http://rafb.net/p/KFa7BE35.html I guess I didn't want myself to forget. More notes in there than commands...

You can also ssh into a coworkers box and just fly their tray out with cdrecord. Very annoying... [05:26] craigbass1976: a true prankster =P [05:26] craigbass1976: you can do that with eject too ;) [05:27] Never palyed with that, only noticed it with cdrecord. Toodles everyone.

I've followed the guide on the wiki (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SynapticsTouchpad#shmconfig) but no luck. Does anyone have experience or a suggestion regarding this? [05:34] I need some help my Xorg.conf, apparently mine's really screwed up, and I was told I could get a default one here? [05:34] I've tried googling but I can't find anything [05:34] I3lade: what version of Ubuntu? [05:34] Hardy Heron 8.04 [05:35] Hullo, I've recently purchased a new subnotebook (eeePC 1000H) and I have installed ubuntu on it. [05:35] Could osmebody help me out here? I need a program /programming language that can create a list of 10 elements from 24, have an ordered list (i.e. abc /= acb), and that certain elements cant be contiguous. Any suggestions? [05:35] I'd like to share the DVD drive on my main computer with my notebook. [05:35] GodfatherofEire: python? [05:35] I3lade, sudo dpkg-reconfigure -pcritical xserver-xorg will create a default xorg.conf [05:35] I'm not sure how to do this, but I have installed samba. [05:36] hi, someone could tell me how i boot the installation CD whit a parameter to fix the gnome resolution because even when i use safe graphics option if goes out of the monitor range [05:36] GodfatherofEire: it can do everything easily except the "certain elements can't be contiguous" part [05:36] adam7, every time I've used python and I set it to include abc and acb in a set, it reduces it to just abc, though, how would I go about getting it /not/ to do that? [05:36] GodfatherofEire: you need a list, ie, list('a', 'b', 'c') [05:36] well, I'm liking fluxbox a lot better than gnome on my laptop where I dont have a large resolution. [05:37] adam7, can it remove lists that have certain elements from a sequence? [05:37] GodfatherofEire: this is the ubuntu support channel, you probably want to join #python [05:37] adam7, thanks for the tip though [05:37] ok, I just tried that command nickrud, and it just says overwritten, did it just default everything? Because supposedly I'm MISSING stuff from my Xorg.conf and that's why I needed to find a default. [05:37] but im trying to install ubuntu ;D so it try to start gnome [05:37] GodfatherofEire: it can do anything you want as long as you know how to do it :) === EeveeTrainer is now known as pikario [05:37] anyone into kernel development?

There's several dozen instances of it under htop, and it's gradually grinding my whole PC to a halt. How do I kill this damn thing? === Sparsh is now known as Tempp1 [05:39] I3lade, and yes, it just reset everything to default, as ubuntu figures you need for your monitor and video card [05:39] adam7, is the interpreter only able to be run from the terminal or is there another way? [05:39] GodfatherofEire: only terminal [05:39] I've got "/usr/bin/artsd" with some other stuff after the end listed over and over again. My system can't take this. [05:39] hey all, um, i just installed 8.10 on my eee pc 900, skype sounds crackly - not little crackly, like i had to erase this sentance crackly, and i cant fix it [05:39] Adam7, ty [05:40] GodfatherofEire: although if you're really bored you could write a GUI that can do it [05:40] any ideas would be awesome === Tempp1 is now known as Sparsh [05:40] nickrud I pulled the hard drive out of my old computer and put it in a new one so I could use the Graphics card on it, I was trying to figure out how to get the drivers and stuff, but when I did cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf, the readout was missing a bunch of stuff, and the guy helping me told me to go ask for a default xorg.conf file [05:40] Lillymon, you should ask for detailed kde help in #kubuntu ; I think arts is replaced by pulseaudio in ubuntu [05:40] adam7, haha, no, not that crazy, I just dont want to mess anything up, seeing as how it /is/ the terminal after all [05:40] he said he'd give me his, but his was heavily edited for dual monitor support and stuff === Sparsh is now known as Styles === Styles is now known as Tempp1 [05:40] I3lade, ok. The new X dynamically determines a lot of stuff that used to be put into the xorg.conf explicitly. What video card? [05:41] so I don't think defaulting what I already have would help... [05:41] it's an ATI Radeon 7000 [05:41] but I also have a 7500 laying around that I might switch out later === xtmnx_ is now known as xtmnx [05:41] GodfatherofEire: when you're in the python interpreter, you can't mess your system up easily accidentally [05:41] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1022552 <== that's my thread [05:41] GodfatherofEire: esp. if you're just using lists and such [05:42] you can see my readout in post #9 [05:42] adam7, alright, I just get a little worried when I run other stuff in the terminal thats not initiated from one === Tempp1 is now known as Styles [05:42] mount -t smbfs -o username=user,password=pwd //winbox/share /mnt/share does not work for me [05:43] Can anyone tell me why if I have an USB external hardrive plugged in my ubuntu 8.04 doesn't boot up? It gets to the loading bar screen and doesn't even start, just freezes, dosen't even load in recovery mode [05:43] I3lade, iirc the ati driver that ubuntu uses provides good support for that card. What issue are you having? Not working, etc? [05:44] i need help mounting an smb share [05:44] nickrud, I JUST put the hard drive into this new computer, and started it up, it started up saying that ubuntu needed to run in low graphics mode because it couldn't detect this and that [05:44] I tried setting the monitor settings and stuff [05:44] but I can't get anything to stick [05:44] hi, please could tell me how i boot the installation CD whit a parameter to fix vga or the gnome resolution because even when i use safe graphics option if goes out of the monitor range [05:45] I3lade, a sec [05:45] tensei, i've seen that happen with certain usb sticks [05:45] er, ok [05:46] usser: any solution do you recall? [05:46] isn't there an smbmount utility? [05:46] i don't seem to have that, apt-cache search smbmount doesn't yield any results either [05:46] woah [05:46] tensei, didnt figure it out apart from plugging it in after boot [05:46] I just looked at my etc/x11/ directory, and there's a TON of xorg.conf's should i delete the extras? [05:47] ... [05:47] anyone else know of a fix? [05:47] I3lade, could you put the contents of the low graphics version of /var/log/Xorg.0.log on http://paste.ubuntu.com ? And, only the xorg.conf is used, all the others are backups (one we created with the dpkg-reconfigure, for example) [05:47] usser: thank you [05:47] exit [05:47] oh ok [05:48] nas [05:48] i need help mounting an smb share [05:48] anyone got problems with flashplayer?

[05:49] you can do video with amsn [05:50] I3lade, yes but you cannot do calls [05:50] oh [05:51] nickrud does that log file update constantly? [05:51] because if not, that might be data from my old computer [05:52] I3lade, ok, you're using the xorg.conf.failsafe for some reason. do dpkg -l xserver-xorg-video-ati , you should get back one line. I'm interested in the first two letters, hopefully ii [05:52] hi there [05:52] I3lade, that file is updated each time X is started [05:52] nickrud sudo dpkg -l xserver-xorg-video-ati? [05:52] further to my issue with SHMConfig, has anyone resolved https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-input-synaptics/+bug/295236 ? [05:52] I have a .vmdk with a windows xp image that I want to run on a remote server and remote desktop into it, it's taking me far too long, can someone help me get things up and running? [05:52] or without the sudo? [05:52] I3lade: no sudo [05:52] i have download a rar file which is in many parts like this rar.001 rar.002 [05:52] i3d, no sudo needed [05:52] ok [05:52] how can i combine them and extract ?

[05:53] i mean /vmlinuz root=/dev/hda2 ro pci=routeirq, there is line like this [05:53] firefox very slow on intrepid ... someone help me [05:53] maco, he has an old ati card, the 7000, I would expect ubuntu to simply use the open radeon driver [05:53] what is original? [05:54] in this line? [05:54] nickrud I got back a couple of lines [05:54] nickrud: right...what's it doing instead? [05:54] maco: Disable my synaptics touchpad. [05:54] just paste them here? [05:54] I3lade: the first few tell you how to read it. whats the last say [05:54] maco, vesa driver. [05:54] nickrud: ew [05:54] edlang: are you on 804 or 810? [05:54] the last line? [05:54] ii xserver-xorg-v 1:6.8.0-1 X.Org X server -- ATI display driver [05:54] hey, has anyone ever seen a Ubuntu Lappy install that you have to hold a button on the keyboard to boot?

[05:55] i press on my bluetooth button.i can see blue LED colour.but i cant see bluetooth icon on my panel..how to fix my problem??please help.. [05:55] can anyone pase his menu.lst in pastebinit, i want to see something...plz? [05:55] maco: Its an HP x86-64 [05:55] but its a 32bit Ubuntu install. [05:55] shiMMer what does dmesg show? [05:55] hey everyone, wondering if anyone knows why when watching youtube vids i sometimes lose sound in flash, so far restart is my only fix [05:55] edlang: system -> preferences -> mouse -> Touchpad. uncheck "enable touchpad" [05:56] where is smbmount on ubuntu 8.10? [05:56] can anyone pase his menu.lst in pastebinit, i want to see something...plz? [05:56] maco: I don't see that section in the mouse config. [05:56] nickrud so? [05:56] I3lade, looking for similar issues [05:56] what is"dmesg"??? [05:56] edlang: most everything shmconfig was useful for has been re-implemented in a way that doesn't require enabling shmconfig, because shmconfig is essentially nothing more than a security hole [05:56] edlang: you don't? [05:56] I'm not even entirely sure what the issue IS! [05:56] edlang: there's no 3rd tab? [05:56] I just know there's something wrong [05:57] shiMMer: a command. you put it in the terminal and hit enter [05:57] especially since I'm stuck using 800 x 600 resolution, it's killing my eyes... [05:57] Mayank: original line: kernel /vmlinuz root=/dev/hda2 ro pci=routeirq [05:57] maco: http://edlang.org/images/no-touchpad-config.jpg [05:57] can someone give me a hand with an audio problem, #alsa is dead atm [05:58] Slack_: download http://alsa-project.org/alsa-info.sh, run it, and go to #ubutu-audio-help with the link it gives you [05:58] I3lade, most common error is mis reading of monitor specs, but the log file seems to find them fine [05:58] edlang: weird...are you sure you have a synaptics touchpad not an alps? [05:58] nickrud, here's what the guy helping me earlier said: your real problem is the xorg file being incomplete, the reconfigure command you ran before shouldve straightened it out but for some reason it didn't. You need someone to give you a working xorg.conf to replace your with. [05:58] maco: http://paste.ubuntu.com/93595/ [05:58] then he told me how to go in and set my driver [05:59] i got this=http://paste.ubuntu.com/93594/ [05:59] also [05:59] I'm missing system->preferences->Hardware Information [05:59] I3lade, for older versions of X he would be correct. Could be that that particular card has issues. Put your current one up on pastebin [05:59] maco: and http://paste.ubuntu.com/93596/ [05:59] my current xorg.conf? [05:59] I3lade, yes [05:59] k [05:59] shiMMer it would appear the bt hardware is being detected. [06:00] nickrud http://paste.ubuntu.com/93597/ [06:00] i cant see the bluetooth icon on my panel [06:00] nickrud maybe it's just me, but my xorg.conf seems a little funny... [06:00] I feel like it should be longer... [06:01] but I don't know what it looked like to begin with [06:01] so I don't know... [06:01] I3lade, mine looks just like that with the addition of nvidia under device. One sec [06:01] maco: any thoughts? [06:01] I installed both the opensource and fgtl or whatever drivers [06:02] Hello: [06:02] I'm jumpin' in at the deep end here...how can I install drivers within the Terminal with the sudo apt-get command? [06:02] hi, how do i install a ubuntu patch ? [06:02] argh! [06:02] how can i extract from a rar file which is in parts like 001 002 003 [06:03] sudo apt-get install smbfs && sudo mount -t smbfs //winbox/share /mnt/winshare -o username=u,password=p [06:03] pikario you generally need to patch the source and recompile, do you have a specific example? [06:03] mount error: could not find target server. TCP name winbox/share not found. [06:03] Son_of_Demetrius: sudo apt-get install name_of_driver_pakage [06:03] nickrud, I can't change my screen resolution or anything, so something's still wrong... [06:03] edlang: you know, you could just disable in the fdi file instead of using shmconfig [06:03] silv3r_m00n, install unrar, right click any of the files and extract [06:03] I havn't restarted xorg yet, but I havn't edited anything, so it shouldn't matter right? [06:04] Son_of_Demetrius drivers will geenrally be in the form of modules [06:04] is smbmount still used on ubuntu 8.10 [06:04] I'm a real dummie...I don't know the name of the package:( [06:04] i'm trying to install a patch to this bug: [06:04] https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/bluez-gnome/+bug/297819 [06:04] am i being purposely ignored? [06:04] I3lade, http://paste.ubuntu.com/93598/ you'll see some edits under driver and monitor. The monitor refresh rates I got from the Xorg.0.log file, you should verify them [06:04] ssh-vulnkey just told me my main key is comprimised. [06:04] What should I do? [06:04] (I can't seem to get Apt to get the latest packagelists to update SSH) [06:04] Son_of_Demetrius: you could google or use apt-cache search, why dont you just use the hardware manager? [06:04] edlang: ok, so see http://jann.is/daily/archives/823-Kubuntu-8.10-beta-KDE-4.1-synaptics-TouchPad-problem.html and then um, lemme look up docs for that driver [06:04] maco: But given that I'm unable to enable SHMConfig, is it likely that the fdi file will match the driver? [06:04] racarter, probably not, I just now saw anything from you :) [06:04] i've been having some usb memory stick problems since i've upped to 8.10. massive dmesg output of usb problems. [06:05] any 1 can help me please ?? [06:05] er [06:05] is smbmount still used on ubuntu 8.10 [06:05] nickrud how do I verify the refresh rates? [06:05] racarter, the command is in the smbfs package [06:05] sudo apt-get install smbfs && sudo mount -t smbfs //winbox/share /mnt/winshare -o username=u,password=p [06:05] I definately DONT want to mess those up, I've done it before and set it out the range of my monitor, I couldn't see anything... [06:05] mount error: could not find target server. TCP name winbox/share not found. [06:05] I3lade, from your monitor manual, the info on the back, or by looking up the specs on the manufacturer's web site [06:05] nickrud, what is the command to mount an smb drive now? [06:06] racarter, try using the ip address [06:06] how can i run kismet on ubuntu 8.10???i already donwload it from repos..it not working??can any1 fix this?? [06:06] I have no idea where the manual is, and I don't know the exact model of my monitor [06:06] I know it's a Korean Data Systems Xtreme Flat [06:06] racarter, I don't use smb from linux here, I'm no expert [06:06] http://pastebin.com/m7abd11b3 if anyone has an idea. i'm thinking usb drivers? [06:06] @pixelfairy...I've no idea what you mean...I just installed Ubuntu over XP last night and i'VE NO CLUE HOW TO INSTALL MY DRIVRES :( [06:06] I3lade, the exact model should be on the back somewhere. you can also look up the fcc id [06:06] which is the ldap address book? [06:06] crap... well, I'll try turning it around [06:07] sorry I punched the capslock button by mistake [06:07] the ip address is not reasonable as it is a dynamic ip [06:07] edlang: you should be able to use TouchpadOff with type Integer and value 1 to disable it [06:07] Son_of_Demetrius which drivers are you installing? [06:07] edlang: if you just want to turn of tapping and scrolling use 2. the manpage is "man synaptics" [06:08] racarter, I'm no expert, like I said. I use the places->network in gnome whenever I hook up my laptop to the office net ;) [06:08] I have a bunch of nvidea chipset drivers that came with my dinosaur mb lol :( [06:08] edlang: and that manpage wouldve been helpful when i was working on gsynaptics -_- [06:08] where the best place to download ubuntu 8.10 login window?? [06:08] yeah, but for some reason the share requires a password, so using gnome it does not seem to be able to access any files [06:08] maco: so uh... is this stuff case senstive? [06:08] and it never seems to ask me for a username or password [06:08] edlang: most probably [06:08] it just doesn't show anything [06:08] why Qt4 don't wanna run on C::B [06:09] it shows the computer, but not any shares [06:09] I read on a forum somewhere that I might need to update a kernel? [06:09] woli, an ldap addressbook is an address book maintained on some central server somewhere [06:09] nickrud, ahh [06:09] Son_of_Demetrius: Why? [06:09] Son_of_Demetrius: if you go to system -> administartion -> hardware drivers, does it tell you anything? [06:09] nickrud, is there a way to force gnome to request a password or something? [06:10] ok [06:10] racarter: you have to try to access a file inside the share before you're prompted, i think [06:10] Son_of_Demetrius just use the restricted driver manager, system > admin >hardware [06:10] everythings right [06:10] Christmas Party At CTU [06:10] racarter, not that I know of. Our storage device doesn't require one, I set it up that way. I'm brain dead, and my co workers even more so [06:10] It tells me that 'No Proprietary Drivers Are Found'...or something like that [06:10] maco, it does not show any files to speak of [06:10] nickrud so I just paste your edited xorg.conf where mine is? [06:10] dickinch15: please don't spam. [06:10] naw my bad [06:10] maco: and I also need to restart my computer every time I edit a HAL policy file? [06:10] dickinch15: and could you get a nick that doesn't violate channel rules reguarding language? [06:10] I3lade, you could do that, yes. but I remind you about the refreshes, I take no responsibility [06:11] edlang: or restart hald [06:11] Son_of_Demetrius what nvideia chipset atre you using? [06:11] nickrud I just checked them [06:11] they're right [06:11] does anyone know how to increase the amount of space wubi will use beyond 30GB?

[06:15] No [06:15] I3lade, you have a driver, the xserver-xorg-driver-ati. system->admin->hardware drivers should show no driver, since the card is so old and the current fglrx doesn't support that one anymore [06:15] ok [06:15] I find plenty of info about mounting windows shares and ext3 partitions on the same machine... but how do I mount an ext3 partition on my local network?

[06:16] eeboy: I don't think mounting ext3 over network is possible.. I would say most of the time when people need to do that they use nfs [06:16] I have another comp with Ubuntu installed in another room..I'm using it as a test to see if I want to switch over completely from Windows...but so far it has been a nightmare [06:16] unr3a1: does it not work or does it hang for a minute or two after you hit the button before the menu window thing appears?

[06:17] I3lade: but that driver might not be able to [06:17] maco: I have to use init commands to restart or shutdown. [06:17] unr3a1: cant even use "sudo reboot" or "sudo halt"?

[06:18] maco, well what the crap? it's not THAT old, they had 1024 x 768 back in 2001 [06:18] Son_of_Demetrius: are you able to just switch the network cable to the othr computer? [06:18] Slart: Thanks... I'll research NFS [06:18] eeboy: yes.. and you can mount ext3 drives over the network using samba too [06:18] You mean I can't install Third Party Software without downloading stuff? [06:18] maco: I come from Slackware background, so I am used to init commands. lol [06:18] eeboy: but it still shows up as cifs at the client [06:18] eeboy: ie you're mounting a samba share.. not a ntfs-drive [06:19] I3lade: well -vesa is crap. you should be able to use -ati, but i can tll you i have a card that only does 800x600 with -ati because the card itself doesnt do the 1024x768. it only does 800x600 and ati did the 1024x768 in software. however, ati no longer supports my ati card or yours, so you're stuck iwth crappy drivers [06:19] hi [06:19] Slart: Thanks... that's what I needed... just a nudge in the right direction [06:19] hello?

[06:19] eeboy: you're welcome [06:19] nate_: hey [06:19] Son_of_Demetrius: its not that you can't install third party software without downloading stuff, its just that there have been numerous updates for ubuntu, that you dont get when you download the ISO. [06:19] I've recently got a new Widescreen LCD monitor that can most definitely support more than 640x480, my xorg.conf file just doesn't seem to stick the resolutions in. What am I missing?

[06:19] i am trying to talk to somebody [06:20] maco, I find it hard to believe that WITH a graphics card I'm stuck with a lower resolution than I am with ONBOARD graphics on my other computer [06:20] Son_of_Demetrius: well you can sneakernet it, i guess...download here, put it on a disk, and walk back and forth [06:20] the innards of both of them are the same age [06:20] I'm trying to use a command in the Terminal to get Ubuntu to unwrap a driver disk... [06:20] eeboy: there are factoids for both !samba and !nfs if you want more info [06:20] Son_of_Demetrius: and you need those updates before ubuntu will allow apt-get to work [06:20] Son_of_Demetrius: manual dependency resolution is a pain though [06:20] Son_of_Demetrius: driver disk? [06:20] I3lade, try the 7500 [06:20] alright [06:20] I3lade: intel's onboard graphics rock hardcore :P [06:20] Is it hard to set up on my ubuntu box to be a router/firewall/dhcp server? [06:20] I'll be back in a little bit... [06:21] As I said...like..I'm a pre-school dummie in Ubuntuland lol [06:21] I3lade, I may not be active, it's getting late ;) [06:21] haha good one [06:21] maco: have you heard of any other issues similar to mine with the shutdown menu? [06:21] Son_of_Demetrius: I am not sure what unwrapping a driver disk even means, lol [06:21] I'm just trying to figure stuff out here === mib_xzjnxkms is now known as stickyness [06:21] wee [06:21] wee [06:21] wee [06:21] nate_: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [06:22] thank you that was my little brother [06:22] Son_of_Demetrius: https://help.ubuntu.com/8.10/newtoubuntu/C/index.html [06:22] he has downs syndrome [06:22] hey [06:22] Son_of_Demetrius: ok so real quick tutorial: in ubuntu, software usually comes from the repositories, which are servers full of 3rd party software that has been checked to be you know, not malware. we have nice easy interfaces, like Synaptic or Add/Remove that download the software and its dependencies and install it all for you with all you have to do is click a checkbox and hit apply [06:22] whats up [06:22] Son_of_Demetrius: drivers are installed the same easy way. ifyou want to sneakernet it, though, you have to make sure you find all the dependencies yourself, which is less fun, but possible [06:23] thanks [06:23] i believe i can fly [06:23] i was trying to get to the iphonelinux channel [06:23] it didnt work [06:23] unr3a1: did that start after you screwed up your permissions or before? [06:23] nate_: do you have a question about ubuntu? [06:23] i believe i can touch the sky [06:23] nate_: bye bye [06:23] Please guys...run me by some really basic stuff...I get what you are saying maco...but I guess I've been lazy-minded for so long with Windows...I'm having withdrawals lol [06:23] maco: I dont have any permissions issues [06:24] hi [06:24] maco: none that I am aware of [06:24] * zuse12345 farted! [06:24] unr3a1: didnt you say you cant edit users & groups anymore? [06:24] Hey, I am incredibly sorry about that, my little brother got on [06:24] how can i download/use microsoft office to my ubuntu 8.10??? [06:24] maco: no. I can't shutdown or restart my computer through the menu in the upper right corner. I have to use init commands to shutdown or restart. [06:24] How do I get Dependencies and Repositories etc? [06:24] Son_of_Demetrius: you know how on windows you google for a whie and eventually find an app you want then hit "next" like 10 times to install it? you dont have to do that [06:24] nate_, by running windows in a virtual machine [06:25] maco: and i haven't tried to use sudo reboot or sudo halt, cause I am not used to those. I come from a slackware background, so I am used to init. [06:25] hello, i would like to only display icon (no text) in the nautilus (for Home, Computer, Search, Up etc) [06:25] shiMMer: downloading we can't help you with .. you can perhaps run it in a vm or using wine [06:25] but i can not figure out how to do taht [06:25] How do you get more applications for Ubuntu [06:25] can someone show me the way [06:25] Son_of_Demetrius: so dependencies are like...when a program on windows tells you you need to install Sun Java first. that's a dependency. ubuntu figures that stuff out for you automatically though [06:25] nate_: Applications, Add/Remove [06:25] nate_: sudo apt-get install packagename [06:25] Thanks [06:25] nate_, sorry, wrong nick :) system->admin->Synaptic package manager shows all [06:26] Son_of_Demetrius: there's a useful package called 'aptoncd' that you can install through System> Administration> Synaptic Package Manager that will assist you in creating removable medium to install packages on non-Internet-connected machines. [06:26] Son_of_Demetrius: repositories are ubuntu's servers, and you can enable them in system -> administartion -> software sources [06:26] is there network stumbler for ubuntu 8.10??kismet wont help me a lot... [06:26] crimsun: thatd requir him having two ubuntu computers [06:26] Is anyone able to get pydance working with the animated graphics updating properly? It's not working correctly here, and I'm trying to track down what broke between 8.1 and whenever it worked. [06:26] crimsun: there's no aptoncd for windows yet [06:26] Hey, my resolution is messed up after upgrading to a Widescreen 21.something inch monitor, it use to display fine up to 1024x768 on a 17.something inch. Ideas? [06:26] shiMMer: search in synaptic.. system, administration, synaptic package manager [06:26] How can you hack Ubuntu if it is possible [06:27] do i need i install additional package to be able to do that [06:27] nate_: not discussed here [06:27] i need put source on kismet.conf...i dun know what to put... [06:27] Oh sorry [06:27] I can't access the archives from my Ubuntu Comp...can I get something from this computer...this is my bro's pc...then transfer it to my other Ubuntu pc? [06:27] nate_: hack? like hack the code? or like "hacking it" like, security things? [06:27] maco: I say Son_of_Demetrius reads. thats gonna help me a lot more than us walking him through the basics of ubuntu. [06:27] nate_: hacking as in hacking or hacking as in cracking? [06:27] What are the capabilities of the Ubuntu software [06:27] nate_: if you have to ask; you can do neither. [06:27] wariskampar, system->prefs->appearances -> interface tab [06:27] nate_ what are you looking to do? [06:27] whats up effers [06:28] hey anyone know how to connect to a samba share through terminal in linux [06:28] zod21!samba [06:28] Sorry..I didn't get that private joke earlier :( [06:28] crap; forgot how to use irc. [06:28] that made a WORLD of difference, thank you maco and nickrud [06:28] My cousin moved to Alaska and i need to connect with him but my parents wont let me get internet it is against their religion [06:28] !samba | zod21 [06:28] zod21: Samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments.

Also see https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/212098 [06:28] Son_of_Demetrius: what private joke? [06:28] I3lade, heh. Sometimes giving up is the right solution :) [06:28] That I can read? [06:28] nickrud; thank you very much [06:29] Son_of_Demetrius: you could also use virtualbox with an Ubuntu iso, and/or you can use wubi. [06:29] Can somebody answer my question [06:29] dont expect it to be damn easy [06:29] nate_: try writing him a letter [06:29] Son_of_Demetrius: oh he's suggesting that you read something like psychocats to learn the basics [06:29] Hiya, so I've mounted my /media/cdrom over the network - and I can access the files on the disc. What I'm not sure about is how to handle dvd movies. Usually, they play automatically with either vlc or totem, but I can't even get them to play the disc, because it reads it like a folder. [06:29] nickrud, lol, well, I don't know why, I suppose just because the card is newer, but regardless, it works. So thank you [06:29] OH? [06:29] Son_of_Demetrius: I was not meaning that as a joke, and I apologize if it came across that way. What I meant was, that you are better off reading the documentation and learning as best as you can for yourself, then having us hold your hand through everythign. [06:29] Son_of_Demetrius: psychocats (google it) is a great resource from aysiu [06:29] I dont know his address but he sent me this Myspace thingy [06:29] maco: 2? no. think VMs. as for win32, shrug. see above suggestion. [06:29] nate_, then call him on the phone. But please, you're getting close to trolling [06:30] getting close? [06:30] =) [06:30] I read a bunch of stuff...believe me..like my High School Principal wouldn't believe...and still can't get my head around it [06:30] My resolution is messed up at 640x480; how do I override? [06:30] !res | Phill [06:30] Phill: The X Window System is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output. To restart your X, type « sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart » in a console - To fix screen resolution or other X problems: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/Resolution [06:30] Son_of_Demetrius: Ok, then where are you most confused? [06:31] Phill: but usually X finds out what resolutions you can use automatically.. [06:31] Phill: what kind of graphics card do you use? [06:31] I am not trolling this is a problem [06:31] w00 I'm upwards 1000 fps now [06:31] Thanks again guys! [06:31] Your Welcome [06:31] How to install my Nvidea CDROM...and guess what?...I can't even eject it at the moment...I can't figure out why it wount eject [06:31] @slart: Nvidea, Geforce 4 it use to support 1024x768 or higher, and it supports it to, what i think is, 1200x900 but I'm unsure. [06:32] @slart: problem arose at this new Widescreen monitor. [06:32] Hi - Have the drivers from Dell for my Notebook - Trying to get Wifi card installed - Not sure how to use NDISwrapper and install drivers - any idea's ? ? [06:32] @slart: it's LCD rather than my old CRT; any difference? I know LCD's don't have refresh rates, which is nice. (WOO; no flicker!) [06:32] Son_of_Demetrius: the cd rom only has windows drivers [06:32] !ndiswrapper | freeatlast [06:32] freeatlast: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [06:32] Is there a way possible to access the internet from a not electronic device [06:33] nate_, no. last warning for trolling [06:33] Son_of_Demetrius: go to http://packages.ubuntu.com and search for nvidia [06:33] Phill: I think X gets the usable resolutions, along with some other data, from the monitor itself using some kind of "plug and play" system.. if that doesn't work it makes some very safe assumptions and you end up with plain vga 600x480 or similar [06:33] is there a way to shut down ubuntu immediately? [06:33] Maybe that's the problem...*slaps self on the forehead* [06:33] pikario, sudo halt [06:33] Phill: they still have refresh rates but it isn't noticable like on a crt [06:33] pikario: yes, plug out the power [06:33] Phill: what version of ubuntu are you running? [06:33] @Slart: none that I really change; it's a different refresh rate, one for the back light not the actual redrawing of the screen, right? [06:34] So how do I get Ubuntu to launch the CD Autorun file? [06:34] has the color quality gotten better on recent LCD monitors? [06:34] @slart: 8.04 I think. [06:34] Son_of_Demetrius: ok i feel slow for not noticing that the first time you mentioned the cd rom :P [06:34] I think basically, ubuntu hasn't recognized the share as a video. [06:34] http://pastebin.com/m7abd11b3 happens when i plug in a usb memory device. [06:34] huwenfeng, off topic, but the idiom is 'unplug' the power [06:34] Son_of_Demetrius: it wont help any. the cd only has windows drivers. [06:34] @slart: yep, 8.04 [06:34] does sudo halt shut ubuntu down without going through any shutdown process? [06:34] Son_of_Demetrius: you cannot get that cd to work within ubuntu... it is only compatible with windows. [06:34] nickrud: yes, sorry, just for fun [06:34] does sudo halt shut ubuntu down without going through any shutdown process? [06:34] pikario, no, it does the complete process. Turn off power to avoid process [06:34] Phill: I think there's still a refresh rate.. but I'm not sure so I won't argue =) [06:35] So my drivers are useless within Ubuntu...can't I get some file to talk to another in Ubuntu? [06:35] sudo telinit 0 - boom bye bye safely (or for explosions try 'sudo init 0') [06:35] Son_of_Demetrius: you can download drivers that are for ubuntu [06:35] Son_of_Demetrius: i'm looking for the packages you need [06:35] huwenfeng, yeah, it's not polite to correct grammar. I cringed just after I hit enter. Thanks for the tolerance :) [06:35] pikario: in fact, hibernate is a good idea, if you want to leave immediately [06:35] Phill: anyways... try checking the file /var/log/xorg.0.log for som clues to what goes wrong [06:35] @slart: Same here; and I can't read wikipedia in 640x480 so whatever; any ideas? I have a LOT of logs/info I can give you. [06:35] @slart: About to pastebin that file :) [06:35] Son_of_Demetrius: how are you hooked to the internet right now? through a cable, or wireless? [06:35] unr3a1: two computers. the ubuntu one is offline. he needs to sneakernet his nvidia drivers (ugh) [06:36] Where?...and please..can I download them from another pc..and then install them on my Ubuntu pc later? [06:36] Son_of_Demetrius: yes [06:36] maco: why can't he hardwire his ubuntu computer to a network? [06:36] SynSyn, doesnt sudo init 0 still just send sigterm not sigkill? [06:36] My bro is on 56K...he's a gas!..lol [06:36] Son_of_Demetrius: can you go to the ubuntu pc and open a terminal and type in "uname -r" [06:36] nickrud: oh , yes, it's ok, [06:36] I recently got this motherboard and video card (A GeForce 6200), and have been having trouble getting Compiz to work on it, both in Gutsy and in Hardy. I am using the NVidia driver provided by the restricted drivers manager, and normal 3D (glxgears and games such as neverball) works fine. However, Compiz is running very slow; if this were a video game I would say it was running around 0.5 frames per second. Also, whenever I start u [06:36] p Compiz, all of the areas that it is drawing to (windows and shadows) are covered in black, which goes away once something under them redraws, but is rather annoying. [06:36] i basically just want to immediately shut down ubuntu within like a second [06:36] ok..let me do that [06:36] Son_of_Demetrius you can use another machine to downlaod the packages ect but its complicated, its a lot easier to use the package manager to do it all for you [06:36] hey [06:37] pikario: no such a way , right the moment [06:37] maco: if he does that, he should be able to download the updates, which will update his proprietary driver information in the hardware drivers manager. [06:37] brb...wait maco...what will that command tell me? [06:37] we are having an intelligent conversation [06:37] could any one please help me regarding switching workspace [06:37] Pilko 'sudo init 0' it will shutdown (I think sigkill) [06:37] using a program [06:37] or through command line [06:37] my girl friend just dumped me got any suggestions [06:37] @Slart: http://pastebin.com/m47871daa Here's 2000 lines of info.

The ones I listed are the ones that are set by default in intrepid. Ubuntu is trying to move away from using groups for hardware perms [06:51] anyone know how to change the port number ssh listens on? [06:51] maco, I figured, but not even at the kernel level? [06:51] sloopy: thats a cool job [06:51] GodfatherofEire: dont believe so. you CAN send the commands using the terminal though [06:51] narzy, uh... sure, ok... [06:51] GodfatherofEire: would that help? [06:51] maco: btw, he is just a kid [06:52] unr3a1: who? [06:52] sloopy: at least you have a job...plus you get to hang out and chat in here and help people w/ linux [06:52] maco, not really, cause if I cant access the terminal, then trying to send commands from it would be a problem [06:52] narzy: /etc/ssh/sshd_config [06:52] maco: Son of Demetrius [06:52] GodfatherofEire: if its panicked, sysrq doesnt work either though [06:53] maco yeah I tried to add port 8080 but when I ssh tim@10.1.0.112:8080 it doesn't work [06:53] GodfatherofEire: if you can get to alt+sysrq+t, thatll give you a terminal to let you do the rest using "edho" [06:53] maco, well, not panicked per se, just unresponsive, like when X crashes and I cant even see the terminal even if it was open [06:53] does anyone know which compiz plugin is the one that i need so that i can make windows transparent using alt + scroll? [06:54] GodfatherofEire: ah well if it's just X that's crashed, alt+sysrq+t if you can reach that combo will take you to a terminal and you can restart X [06:54] I want a Tshirt that says "I'd be lost without apt-get install" [06:54] maco, cause I've tried that before, and then REISUB worked fine, just the ATi Drivers on here just shut down and the screen was completely unresponsive [06:54] StevenX: i dont think that requires a plugin [06:54] nickrud, after that i must restart or relogin ?? [06:54] bashca, just relogin [06:54] i want a t-shirt that says 'will abuse computers for $$$' [06:54] narzy: Invest more in aptitude install. ;o [06:54] thanks [06:54] maco there would be bindings somewhere [06:54] i have a question [06:54] maco, it was like I disconnected the screen, but I didnt actually disconnect anything (which would be difficult regardless seeing as how I'm on a laptop. [06:55] maco, I can't seem to get it to work. I have everything else I want working. [06:55] sloopy, I'm gonna make one for myself. You'll get a tiny credit some where ;) === DefamedPrawn is now known as GoAway [06:55] unr3a1: kid as in high school or kid as in middle school or kid as in a kid i know that ran up to an IBM executive at age 7 shouting "i like linux!"? [06:55] what program can i use to write C, C+. C++ and C # as well as perl, and javascript [06:55] BellinXFelon: vi? [06:55] BellinXFelon, eclipse, gedit, vim [06:55] need some help in ubuntu regarding how it does switching workspaces internally [06:55] BellinXFelon: any text editor [06:56] ok [06:56] StevenX: there's a setting somewhere....lemme find it [06:56] maco, are you serious? [06:56] they all read the languages [06:56] maco, thanks. [06:56] BellinXFelon, if you want to expend some learning time, but get some real power, emacs or vim. eclipse is nice but bloated java [06:56] maco (bout the kid and the IBM exec) [06:56] where do i get these programs [06:57] To recap, I've shared a dvd across a network using samba, and it has a video on it. I'm not sure how I mount it so it's readable by totem. [06:57] any one plz help me [06:57] karthik_ you mean like the multi-desktop feature? [06:57] karthik_, you mean the code for the window manager? [06:57] maco: lol... I honestly, dont know. but I gave him my cell # to call, since its easier to talk over the phone, and he said he couldnt cause his parents were asleep and he would wake them... so I am guessing 12-14 max [06:57] yeah === GoAway is now known as DefamedPrawn [06:58] karthik_, go to gnome.org , there's an irc server irc.gnome.org. I think you want #metacity, but check there for the actual channel name [06:58] StevenX: oh it's opacity, brightness, and saturation. i dont think that used to be a separate plugin...based on it being disabled now that i upgraded [06:58] maco where do i get vim or emacs [06:58] why can't I see my linux machine in my mac network [06:58] normaly we have workspace switching in the right hand side conrner at the bottom right [06:58] back [06:58] BellinXFelon: well vim-tiny is installed by default [06:58] narzy: Because Linux is a beeeeast! :) [06:58] i want to know how does it happens internal;ly [06:58] on xub 8.04 [06:58] can I fix it? [06:58] maco, thanks. so where do I go to set that up? [06:59] !ccsm | StevenX [06:59] StevenX: 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 [06:59] preferably set up a share... [06:59] karthik_ you mean, like the source code or what? [06:59] nickrud, back same problem i can't use gnome-ppp also i can't open users & groups manager ?? [06:59] thanks again maco [06:59] narzy: What for? If you need access (ssh + sftp) -- use openssl-server (I think -- Check with spelling). [06:59] bashca, type groups in the terminal, are you part of admin? [06:59] bashca@DrTARIQ:~$ groups [06:59] bashca adm dialout cdrom plugdev lpadmin sambashare [06:59] white-sheep: openssh-server [06:59] narzy: ^ [07:00] eventually I want this thing full VPN [07:00] nickrud, i was using them all before using this command usermod -G10 bashca [07:00] bashca, boot into recovery mode, go to the commandline, and adduser bashca admin [07:00] maco: Thanks. ;) [07:00] yeah i mean i shd write a code for switching [07:00] ok [07:00] for tht if i could understand the internals of ubuntu [07:00] i can do it easily [07:01] nickrud, thanks :') [07:01] I'm already ssh'd in [07:01] karthik_: start by reading existing code. take a look at devhelp too [07:01] karthik_, like I said earlier, gnome.org , the coders hang out there [07:01] nickrud, ok [07:01] karthik_ there are other was to switch desktops other than that switcher at the bottom right, specifically by using ctrl+alt+arrowkeys [07:01] BellinXFelon: you can use synaptic to install vim-full [07:01] But I presume you know that [07:01] maco: where can i get the existing code [07:01] karthik_: gnome.org [07:02] karthik_: they write most of the code...ubuntu mostly just bundles it up all nice [07:02] karthik_, you can even browse the source code there, or download code for stuff to your machine with, for example, apt-get source metacity for the window manager [07:02] I kept wondering -- Overall -- What' [07:02] how to enable kismet???????? [07:02] GodfatherofEire: yeah i know the normal ways to switch but i shd be able to do it by a programm [07:02] What's the benefits between Ubuntu 8.10 + Ubuntu 8.04 (LTS). [07:03] it not capture from right source.. [07:03] ok [07:03] what i need to put on source???i use atheros ar5007eg.wlan0 [07:03] white-sheep: 8.10 has dkms for magic module compilation automatically when you get kernel updats so you dont have to do it manually if you use 3rd party drivers [07:03] Also: any ideas why 2 diff installs of Intrepid, on the SAME exact computer would have different bass levels? [07:04] shiMMer, try asking in #kismet they probably know more than we do [07:04] GodfatherofEire::yes [07:04] I just installed the 64-bit version of Ubuntu, and it's my first time using any form of Linux at all. I tried to add my wireless connection so I can get internet. It mentioned something about using Windows Wireless drivers, but I can't install that without having internet access. How do I get my wireless working? [07:04] Okay, once again, never mind. I worked around it. [07:04] I feel invisible in here. [07:04] Gehom: what kind of wireless card do you have? [07:04] for putting source,they tell me to ask from my dist.. [07:05] Gehom: and dont you have wired internet? [07:05] maco: All I know is that LTS have better support since they don't "rush" things -- Thus allowing all 8.10 to find and report the bugs. [07:05] lain_wired, zen problem solving [07:05] white-sheep: hahahahaha [07:05] lol, sorry shiMMer not laughing at you but the loop [07:05] white-sheep: thats totally ridiculous [07:05] !lts | white-sheep [07:05] white-sheep, please see my private message [07:05] what kinds of mobile pda type devices do you guys use? [07:05] white-sheep: i know that's not true [07:05] Maco: I don't have wired internet on that computer, and it's a USB wireless device [07:05] !lts [07:05] LTS means Long Term Support. LTS versions of Ubuntu will be supported for 3 years on the desktop, and 5 years on the server. [07:05] white-sheep: every release has rough edges just after release. wait a few months, and they're smoothed over [07:06] The explanation above isn't really that great. :-\ [07:06] sloopy, i hope zen can fix my dodgy totem playback [07:06] m1chael, lately a old 1Ghz gateway laptop, but also used to use a Palm T5 [07:06] * IndyGunFreak has no probs w/ Intrepid on 3 machines [07:06] can angry ip scanner be run on ubuntu 8.10?? [07:06] and then we get to do it again! says one who can't wait, always installs the last alpha [07:06] shiMMer: why not ask the people who wrote it? [07:06] IndyGunFreak: I use Intrepid 8.10 too. :o [07:06] shiMMer, why would that be? Cause on one, the bass was ridiculously high, to the point at which my speakers sounded like crap, and on this one, its fine. keep in mind that its the same computer with the same equipment [07:06] i was looking at iphone touch but it looks too proprietary and not nerd-friendly [07:06] white-sheep: well i don't know why you'd utter such nonsense about what an LTS release is [07:06] white-sheep: 8.04 was very rough after release, but it's improved. 8.10 has finally had its edges a bit smoothed over. and no i'm running unstabl again! wee! [07:07] any1 already can run angry ip scanner on ubuntu 8.10?? [07:07] i really had no problems w/ Intrepid at all, on my PC and 2 laptops [07:07] never heard of a iPhone touch [07:07] maco: I don't have wired internet on that computer, and the wireless is USB, not an internal card. [07:07] ipod touch i mean [07:07] IndyGunFreak, That was really weird, I just googled my totem issue, and your name came up. [07:08] IndyGunFreak: Well -- Why do we have 8.04 LTS in first place? This is what was gnawing away in my head. [07:08] lain_wired: hm, i don't recall having totem issues, musta beena long time ago. [07:08] lain_wired, all the smart people hang here... [07:08] Gehom: ok what kind of usb wireless is it? though i think 2.6.28 just got usb wireless support... [07:08] lain_wired: Link for infamous IndyGunFreak name. [07:08] white-sheep: it has long term support, ubuntu supports it for 3yrs.. [07:08] installed lm-sensors.... command not found... how do i activate or look at the sensor readout? [07:08] IndyGunFreak, I think you were helping someone else. It came up because I searched eeePC [07:08] white-sheep: the non-lts distros, are only supported 18mo [07:09] http://irclogs.ubuntu.com/2008/08/12/%23ubuntu.txt [07:09] http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=eeepc+totem+playback+patchy&btnG=Search [07:09] Oh IRC logging. Blah. [07:10] hey [07:10] Any ideas why 2 diff installs of Intrepid, on the exact same computer would have different bass levels? Not the same model, but the SAME computer? [07:10] i just bourt a ipod touch 32gb for $40.47 ... i know, cheap :P how do i put music on it with ubuntu [07:10] white-sheep, nothing interesting. [07:10] maco: ummm...it's an airlink N 802.11 USB adapter [07:10] Totem is having a hissyfit though, it's all patchy and green and rainbow. [07:11] talbot: try rhythmbox, and enable support for the iPod under plugins [07:11] anyone know how to reset vlc to the default video setting through the CLI?

[07:11] onetinsoldier, \O [07:11] thx [07:11] sloopy: howdy, how are you? [07:12] ubottu: help [07:12] Hi! I'm #ubuntu's favorite infobot, you can search my brain yourself at http://ubottu.com/factoids.cgi - Usage info: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBots [07:12] how do I ssh so I can run x11 apps remotely [07:12] onetinsoldier, soft and squishy, and you? [07:12] narzy, ssh -X ip [07:12] sloopy: fair to shaky [07:12] narzy: you can give ssh -X [07:12] can I see my linux desktop that way too? [07:13] onetinsoldier, shakey? your made of tin? tinfoil maybe? [07:13] narzy: that commands gives ssh a place to display programs [07:13] Any ideas why 2 diff installs of Intrepid, on the exact same computer would have different bass levels? Not as in the same model, different computers, but the SAME exact computer? [07:13] narzy, no vnc for that... === Octoroks_ is now known as Octoroks === keres is now known as keres`zZz [07:13] narzy: trhough you local X [07:13] maco: so, is it even possible to use it? [07:13] sloopy: lol. yeah.. tinfoil. it shakes a lot when you wave it in the air [07:13] narzy, but you can tunnel vnc through ssh [07:14] Gehom: hrm if you wanna use windows drivers, grab your windows driver cd and your ubuntu cd. the ubuntu cd has ndiswrapper. install that from the cd. then use it to install the windows driver from your windows driver disk. or download the win driver from the comp you're using right now and walk it over on a flash drive [07:14] I need to get SSH to listen on port 8080 [07:14] sloopy: just booted into my new totally custom 2.6.28 kernel :-) [07:14] my wife is going to give linux a try and I am trying to make it more windows xp like for her to easy the change over [07:14] onetinsoldier, fun, i havent cut custom kernels since my m68k days [07:14] that was weird. [07:14] maco: okay, I'll try that. Thanks! [07:14] Is there a way to change the icon for the Main Menu? [07:15] Xpistos, i converted my wife 2 years ago... [07:15] Xpistos yes [07:15] Any toughts on using backups? I whant to use something that can handle network locations, and sadly Windows... [07:15] Xpistos, i installed kubuntu on her laptop and after a day or two she mostly figured it out herself [07:15] sloopy: roger. why not? it's so fun figuring out(or trying to) all those kernel options, what they do, and whether you need them or not, hehe. [07:16] Xpistos its bound in gconf-editor [07:16] onetinsoldier, i would rather answer simple questions on #ubuntu ;'D [07:16] Xpistos: Can't you just tell her what's what? [07:16] sloopy: i hear ya [07:16] narzy, did you set 8080 for the port in sshd.conf? [07:16] nickName_, thanks i resolve it [07:16] do I need ham radio? No. Easy question :) [07:16] thanks again [07:17] Xpistos: trying to make i tlook like windows, will only end in frustration, because thats all it will do, is look like windows.. [07:17] bashca, cool [07:17] Xpistos: place the most importat application in the planel and you'll be fine i think [07:17] how can i link desktop sound to microphone? [07:17] onetinsoldier, makes me feel smart, cause when you screw up a kernel you dont feel too smart... [07:17] I wanted it to listen on 2 ports [07:17] Any ideas why 2 diff installs of Intrepid, on the exact same computer would have different bass levels? Not as in the same model, different computers, but the SAME exact computer? On one install, the bass was ridiculously loud, and I coulda sworn it was gonna blow my speakers, and on this one its perfectly fine. Anybody have any reason/ideas as to why that is? [07:17] so I added port 8080 on a new line [07:17] narzy, why? [07:18] cause sometimes I don't want to have to type 8080 [07:18] sloopy: roger [07:18] GodfatherofEire, one install was done late at night so ubuntu took the liberty of helping you out and turning it down for you? [07:18] nickrud, 1 more help when trying to connect i got this error /usr/sbin/pppd wont open i guess it about permission [07:18] onetinsoldier, who is roger? and why are you calling him? [07:18] GodfatherofEire: Life is full of mysteries -- If this problem was OLD -- Just forget about it. :o [07:19] I'm trying to upgrade the version of vim that comes with my Ubuntu installation and I get an error [07:19] sloopy, if only it worked that way the first time [07:19] Package vim is not available, but is referred to by another package. This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or is only available from another source [07:19] how can i link desktop sound to microphone? [07:19] bashca adm dialout cdrom plugdev lpadmin admin sambashare [07:19] that's hwen i run "apt-get install vim" [07:19] sloopy: you of course! now, we better get on-topic b4 we get in trouble [07:19] bashca, dialout is the ppp user, if you're a member of that it should work. But I last used ppp several years ago, and am rusty [07:19] Fragsworth, vim-full ? [07:19] so how do I quickly list the contents of a file just to see what is in it? [07:19] * nickrud eyes onetinsoldier [07:20] narzy, less filename [07:20] sloopy: package not found [07:20] uh-oh [07:20] onetinsoldier, hey cutey that person over there is giving you the 'eye' ;'D [07:20] hello nickrud, how are you today? [07:20] sloopy: also, the sound worked OOB in Ubuntu so I was just glad to have it back period, cause back in windoze, I tried installing the drivers at least 10x, and it just worked with Ubuntu [07:20] * onetinsoldier winks at nickrud [07:20] onetinsoldier, good, yourself? I'm about out of here it's late and the weekend is tomorrow !!! [07:21] nickrud: i hear you. it's late here too [07:21] koshari: What am I looking for in the gconf-editor [07:21] onetinsoldier, see you about. Have fun [07:21] GodfatherofEire, yeah have seen that before... but i dont do sound issues, the bio hardware here doesnt work... [07:21] Fragsworth: vim-full? [07:21] nickrud: ok, take care and have a good weekend! [07:21] maco: i tried that too, but package not found [07:21] Fragsworth: apt-get update, then do it? [07:21] Fragsworth, thats a problem, cause it should be there... [07:22] sloopy, yeah, strangely enough, I almost didnt notice it was even working when I booted up the live CD for the first time [07:22] im having some trouble getting my wacom tablet working in 8.04, can anyone help? i have wacom-tools installed and am using the same xorg settings from my previous install of 8.04, but this installation it isnt working [07:22] maco: thank you :D [07:22] that was the problem [07:22] hi, how do i get a trash icon on the desktop? [07:22] pikario: gconf-editor [07:23] pikario: then navigate to apps/nautilus/ [07:23] i dunno how to make a launcher for trash because i dunno where the trash is located [07:23] pikario: and it's in the "desktop" part in there [07:23] thanks, i see it [07:23] just out of curiosity, is there a way to do it with adding a launcher to the desktop [07:24] Xpistos: If you girl is a shopper, just tell her how much you'll save on purchasing a license for windows. :) [07:24] Also, is there a way to update shared object archives (like usplashes) from version 2 from version 3, or if theres a way to decompile them, the re-compile them [07:24] !trash | pikario [07:24] pikario: The location of Trash has changed since 8.04, it is now located in ~/.local/share/Trash | Looking for the trash in previous versions: ~/.Trash [07:24] pikario: make a launcher to where ubottu jsut said [07:25] Xpistos In the configuration editor go to apps > panel > objects > find the object for your menu (an easy way to spot the correct object is that it will have “Main Menu” in the tool tip section). Set the path to your icon in the “Custom_Icon” field. Check “Use_Custom_Icon” a little ways down. [07:25] i am trying to learn all the program languages, what is the best one to start with? [07:25] LOL [07:25] thx [07:25] BellinXFelon: C [07:25] ok [07:26] then move on to C+ [07:26] BellinXFelon: C++, you mean? [07:26] uhmmm C+ is a grade you get in school. C++ [07:26] its C++, and yeah, then mayba try java [07:26] yes [07:26] then C# [07:26] BellinXFelon: you will try to learn all programming languages, and then you will learn the truth: there is only 1 programming language, but many forms of syntax [07:26] !exfat [07:26] Sorry, I don't know anything about exfat [07:27] What's the deal with exFAT? [07:27] Can I read it in Ubuntu? [07:27] well after you learn C, C++, Java, Perl, and Ruby, you won't care to learn other languages. [07:27] mindrape: what about python? [07:27] that is all thats needed? [07:27] * mindrape kisses his biceps... what about my pythons? [07:27] im having some trouble getting my wacom tablet working in 8.04, can anyone help? i have wacom-tools installed and am using the same xorg settings from my previous install of 8.04, but it isnt working now [07:27] ok, so this is a really stupid question, but I'm downloading a new driver and I don't know whether I have a 32-bit or 64-bit x86 cpu structure. I sorta know what the difference is, and I bet I have 64, I just really don't know how to tell for certain [07:28] Canaen: uname -a [07:28] Canaen: uname -a [07:28] oh, right :) [07:28] Also, is there a way to update shared object archives (like usplashes) from version 2 from version 3, or if theres a way to decompile them, the re-compile them? [07:28] werdnum: you mean vfat? [07:30] maco: no, exFAT - it's FAT64. Google seems to say no. [07:30] ty [07:30] Need backup help... [07:30] What OS *SHOULD* I use for sharing windows and linux files? :/ [07:30] werdnum: O_O freaky. sounds new (it has the number 64). probably not supported yet. [07:31] werdnum - the one that works for you... ? === webby is now known as webby__ [07:31] It's not all that new, but it hit mainstream for Vista SP1 [07:31] mindrape: erm, sorry I meant FS [07:31] werdnum - you can use any OS I guess.. really comes down to what protocol you wanna use. [07:31] What *FS* should I use for sharing files between windows and linux? [07:31] well for Windows to not require massive amounts of tweaking probably NTFS [07:31] or maybe fat32... [07:32] werdnum: ntfs if you need files bigger than 4gb [07:32] I don't like the 4G limit on FAT32 [07:32] werdnum: Thats transparent, i would use ext3 [07:32] Does ubuntu read/write NTFS yet? [07:32] ok i installed vim-full how do i run it [07:32] It's a 320GB portable drive. [07:32] werdnum - ntfs-g [07:32] sloopy: you're an nvidia user, aren't you... just curious [07:32] ok. So I just downoaded my first tar.gz file. There's a makefile file in it. Do I follow the commands in the makefil, or run it somehow? Also, before doing so, should I unzi the tar? [07:33] werdnum: yes, for about a year or more now [07:33] onetinsoldier, i have a machine with an nvidia card in it [07:33] BellinXFelon: you type "vim newfile.c" or whatever you want the file to be in a terminal [07:33] sloopy: roger. mine is ati [07:33] !compile [07:33] Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first) [07:33] Canaen: you mean untar the tar?

[07:35] if you have one [07:35] onetinsoldier, yeah, this laptop is going down hill, my disappearance was a hard lock up... [07:35] devin_ if you ask in the channel we can all help. Also you might want to ask in a #firefox channel if one exists as this is general Ubuntu help.. [07:35] maco: can macs read NTFS? [07:35] sloopy: ohhh, i see. either of your other systems a laptop? [07:35] aight. thanks! [07:35] guys i just got a laptop and installed ubuntu .. it can't see my wifi .. any ideas ? [07:35] werdnum - yes. [07:35] werdnum, yes, in osx and linux [07:35] werdnum: there's a driver in existence for them to read, but not to write [07:35] werdnum: er wait [07:36] werdnum: their default driver is read-only [07:36] macjason - sudo lshw -C network [07:36] werdnum: there is a 3rd-party driver that lets macs write [07:36] macjason to begin with is your chipsets drivers loaded? [07:36] macjason - sudo iwconfig do you see it in there? [07:36] onetinsoldier, my other laptops are m68k macs [07:36] one sec [07:36] nitey-nite peeps...and thx 4 the help :) [07:36] sloopy: i see [07:36] as in a text editor is that what you mean by terminal. please bare with me i am new to this [07:36] onetinsoldier, mrs has a compaq evo n610c [07:36] nickrud, please http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/m5316b0fc [07:37] maco: *sigh* So against my better judgement, NTFS seems like the sensible choice for a multi-platform filesystem. [07:37] BellinXFelon: you might not want vim or emacs... those are both keyboard-driven text editors (very fast once you get the hang of it, but there's a learning curve). gedit (applications -> accessories) might be easier to start with [07:37] sloopy: i hear you. i've never owned a laptop. [07:37] werdnum: basically [07:37] maco, please http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/m5316b0fc [07:37] ok i have vim installed so use gedit [07:38] BellinXFelon: vim and emacs are very powerful too. if you want to learn vim, i suggest applications -> accessories --> terminal, and run the commabd "vimtutor" to learn to use it [07:38] ok [07:38] BellinXFelon - we aren't going to be able to help you program in C in one night... I recommend you spend some time clicking around the OS and understand where text editors are, how to edit configurations, etc. If you want to really learn C go buy a book, sign up for a class and join #C === |peon| is now known as |AMDMutant| [07:38] hello people [07:39] can i burn a 720mb iso to a normal cdrom disk? [07:39] yea i have a book on Javascript and perl right now [07:39] i just need to know how to practice [07:39] onetinsoldier, i used to be a independent contractor, with macs, so got them fixed them and sometimes companys would give me several to have a few working [07:39] <|AMDMutant|> the signal are crazy [07:40] BellinXFelon - do you want to compile binaries for Linux? Do you want to develop web applications? What is your intent in learning all programming languages? [07:40] to be able to write any program in order to get a good job [07:40] sloopy: ahhh, i see. i've nver had a mac either. but when i was young i had an apple ii/e [07:40] software development [07:41] BellinXFelon if you want to be a programer these days move to india [07:41] <|AMDMutant|> job... [07:41] yup... move to India if you want to be a programmer and get ready to be paid $2/hr. [07:42] BellinXFelon: but what *kind* of software? there are many branches [07:42] <|AMDMutant|> onetinsoldier: hello [07:42] should i lspci ? [07:42] |AMDMutant|: hello [07:42] im not sure just yet, i want to be versatile [07:42] if you understand what i mean [07:42] macjason it would be a good start, or check your documentation [07:42] Anyone know why klogd and syslogd would be taking up all my CPU? I'm not running any programs [07:42] BellinXFelon - how old are you? [07:42] maco, can u help me ?? http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/m5316b0fc [07:42] BellinXFelon: well you want to start with one thing, get good at it, then move on, probably [07:43] yea i want to master one at a time [07:43] BellinXFelon all the people i know making decent money in IT specialise. [07:43] yea it beats what i do now telemarketer [07:43] if you want a career guaranteed to pay good money learn mainframes. :) [07:43] anything beats that [07:43] they will never go away... all banks are stuck on them. [07:43] mindrape: you know, that attitude is what made me not want to do CS when i was in high school. hard to keep me away from it though, so i'm back to it. turns out being able to program and knowing linux pretty well means you're not really subject to outsourcing [07:44] soon i think all banks will be run on AI [07:44] maco - Linux administration, yes. Programming anything... way cheaper to offshore. [07:44] mindrape rubbish, heaps of stuff that enterprise runs now is virtualised [07:44] koshari - yes, in zVM :) === zaapiel is now known as zaapielZzZzZzZz [07:44] mindrape: nah. plenty of development happens in first world countries [07:44] want to run 1000 linux instances? rev up zLinux in zVM... done. [07:45] mindrape: its the tech support that's outsourced most [07:45] I'm a software developer, and I live in Australia. [07:45] im going to use text editor and terminal [07:45] can i burn a 720mb iso to a normal cdrom disk? [07:45] that's the best way to do it. [07:45] jim_p - probably... google overburn. [07:45] jim_p overburn [07:45] jim_p: cds are 700mb [07:46] maco, koshari, mindrape i thought of overburning, but will the result be bootable? [07:47] jim_p - if its in el torrito format... [07:47] jim_p if the iso is it will be [07:47] if you just throw together your own ISO probably not. [07:47] there are a ton of job listings for MySQL and Java === meoblast is now known as meoblast001 [07:47] * edlang regrets upgrading to jaunty [07:47] koshari, mindrape i dont want overburn to ruin bootability [07:47] so I'm trying to compile a file. when I run Configure, should I try it on the tar, or should I extract the folder first? [07:48] BellinXFelon: LAMP development is decent... [07:48] BellinXFelon: yeah java's one that "enterprise" crap likes. C's classic. Ruby's the new fad for web development [07:48] BellinXFelon: I dunno, personally I was a Java developer for a long while then did LAMP development for 2 yrs. It gets old fast. [07:48] ok i have broadcom Corporation BCM4311 802.11b/g wlan+ [07:48] Canaen: you have to untar it [07:48] Canaen: and then cd into the directory [07:48] yea i can see that happening [07:48] Canaen: and use a lowercase c [07:48] cd? [07:48] http://paste.ubuntu.com/93630/ -- anyone had a similar failure with fglrx on jaunty? [07:48] Anyone know why klogd and syslogd would be taking up all my CPU? I'm not running any programs [07:48] edlang: i'm sure that jaunty i shaky. i was thinking about installing it on my free hard drive space to check it out, but not upgrading this installation to it. i am curious though, how bad is it? [07:48] macjason - you can't use the default Ubuntu driver I believe. Most Broadcom cards require you to use the Windows driver using ndiswrapper. :( [07:48] Canaen: change directory [07:49] gotcha [07:49] Canaen: why are you trying to compile anything anyway? [07:49] special driver for wireless card [07:49] edlang: i'm sure that jaunty is shaky* [07:49] macjason - http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=5693578 [07:49] onetinsoldier: depends on your hardware [07:49] onetinsoldier: well, I'm sure it's fine but my graphics card module doesn't play with the included X server [07:49] so i use text editor to write and terminal to run the program? [07:49] maco: slong story [07:49] maco, http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/m5316b0fc ?? please help me [07:49] edlang: roger, i hear you [07:49] BellinXFelon: terminal to compile as well. i suggested vim before because its a text editor that lives in the terminal [07:50] BellinXFelon: you can run commands (like make, to compile) from inside it [07:50] maco i prefer nano [07:50] i can edit directly through terminal [07:50] and by lives he means it's really an OS like emacs that people call a txt editor because they are outright liars... [07:50] maco: i have a fairly new system. don't know how much difference that makes tho [07:50] is there a command you have to do in order to safely remove an external usb hard drive ? like unmount it? [07:50] :P [07:50] umount [07:50] how would i package the custom k3b i just compiled for my system into a nice apt package acceptable for synaptic? [07:50] pikario - always umount a device prior to removal. [07:50] onetinsoldier: much more specifically. for example, specific wireless cards can have issues [07:50] pikario: yes [07:51] pikario: right click it and hit eject [07:51] really? is it dangerous to just unplug a usb hard drive? [07:51] i didnt know that [07:51] bashca: sorry, i stopped using dialup last millenia. [07:51] pikario - not really "dangerous" but it could corrupt whatever you most recently wrote. [07:51] i hope i didnt destroy my data.. [07:51] ok [07:51] maco: roger. i have no wireless. dekstop system with good plain old wired cable connection [07:51] pikario - pretty unlikely but still a possibility. [07:51] pikario: or it could prevent the new data from being written at all. linux and mac both have a tendency to not write to flash drives at all until you tell them to eject [07:52] what /dev is the microphone? [07:52] nbeebo_ sudo lshw -short [07:52] mindrape thanks ill try [07:52] maco, thanks [07:52] is there a list of commands that i can read to use in terminal? [07:52] BellinXFelon: everything in /bin [07:52] to start... [07:53] I have this in my smb.conf file how do I make it read write for everything that connects? [07:53] http://pastebin.com/m7687c195 [07:53] /var/log/message, kern.log and syslog are over 2gigs in size. nobody knows what's wrong? [07:53] mindrape: 1) not a he 2) vim is not an os like emacs. vim just lets you run outside commands. emacs has a freaking mail client and video editor BUILT IN [07:53] createmask set to 0666 instead of 0644 [07:53] :P [07:53] BellinXFelon: check out tldp.org [07:53] BellinXFelon: it has howtos for um....everything [07:54] mindrape, im trying to tunnel something trough it so i dont have any microphone.. [07:54] nbeebo_ no idea then. [07:54] anyone with microphone that can run this command: sudo lshw -short and tell me the direction of the microphone? [07:54] sounds like you're toying with the devils magic... [07:54] hmmm, ati 8.12 drivers 'claim' to have built for my new custom 2.6.28 kernel. it generated all the .deb's! should be interesting to find out if they actually work for this kernel version [07:55] Something occurred to me -- Is there a "special filename" for folder thumbnail (within the folder) ? [07:55] Eg -- folder.png ? [07:55] say my package is in /compiled_dir and all i need to do is make install. -- how do i transform that into a standard debian package for synaptic? i hear there is something with checkinstall ? [07:55] for folder thumbnail? [07:55] what do you mean? [07:55] Hey guys, A question: I want to suppress updates for the openoffice package included in Hardy as I have installed OOo3.0, How would I go about doing that? [07:55] neosimago: yeah, checkinstall. it's pretty easy to use really [07:55] here is my entire config file [07:55] http://pastebin.com/m3ab5f216 [07:56] neosimago: its not terribly recommended because it can screw up, but yes, checkinstall can make apt aware of the package for easier removal [07:56] LurkersA: http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/apt-howto/ [07:56] ta mindrape [07:56] LurkersA: in synaptic, you can lock version on it [07:56] mindrape: Pretty much self-explanatory. You place a .JPG/PNG/GIF/WTF in the said folder and that said folder display that image. [07:56] white-sheep: no, that doesn't exist [07:57] white-sheep: folder icons are based on the icon theme and all match nicely [07:57] onetinsoldier: laptop died again, running memtest :'( [07:57] neosimago: if you don't use checkinstall, make sure to keep the source dir around, so you can go into it and do a 'make uninstall' if you wish to uninstall the software [07:57] i just got a kernel OOPS while resuming, should i try to photo it or will it be on my hard disk? [07:57] maco: Perhaps there are a package for it -- Thanks. >_> [07:57] Ok I got a question, Im running heron 8.04 and I recently installed steam/cs. When I open cs things are fine and I can make server and run around no problem. But when I join an online game I can play for about 2 minutes or so before I freeze with repeating sounds and have to do a restart on my laptop. Any ideas? :X [07:57] scientes: photo it. such things often happen too quickly to log [07:57] can someone suggest an ideal partitioning scheme for my ubuntu install? I plan to use it as a workstation and run fuppes for a media server for my ps3. [07:57] mib_p1x3lt73d: oh man. :-( [07:57] thanks onetinsoldier.... i've used that before. [07:58] neosimago: ok, roger that :-) [07:58] any useful options you would recommend in checkinstall? [07:58] Hi, can someone tell me, what this error-message means? "[ 1002.656033] APIC error on CPU0: 40(40)" I didn't found nothing definitive via google. "2.6.27-11-generic #1 SMP" [07:58] hashbrowns: i usually give it 10gb for / , 2-3x amount of mem for swap (and i put that first) and then the rest for /home [07:58] maco: Thanks [07:58] maco : how did you learn all these things? [07:59] BellinXFelon: experience? [07:59] mib_p1x3lt73d: well, if you can afford it, it sounds like you've got yourself a good excuse to get some sexy new laptop [07:59] yea thats the best teacher [07:59] onetinsoldier: had the reason, just not the $$$ [07:59] maco: so in gparted, partition the swap then the / correct? [07:59] mib_p1x3lt73d: awww, darn [08:00] hashbrowns: yeah, that's how i do it. i'm told the start of the drive is fastest so you can swap faster and resume faster [08:00] <|AMDMutant|> narzy: usershare owner only = False [08:00] maco: how much swap do you think I need, Ive got 4GB of ram in the system I'm installing ubuntu to? [08:00] i don't know how it affects my systems. I think its related to the fact, that my wlan freezes every now and then... [08:00] mindrape, i found the drivers they are exe [08:00] onetinsoldier: know anyone who wants to trade a ipod nano (8G, 3rd gen) plus a little $$$ for a laptop (atleast 1.5Ghz) [08:00] ? [08:01] hashbrowns: if you want to be able to suspend, then 8gb is recommended... [08:01] macjason - read the tutorial I sent you the link for... it explains how to extract. [08:01] just to double check... it would b like $checkinstall -D make install [08:01] mib_p1x3lt73d: #ubuntu-offtopic [08:02] mib_p1x3lt73d: nope. sorry, i can't help you with that [08:02] maco: any particular filesystem for / and /home or just stick to ext3? [08:02] ok, another question. Has it negative effects if i start my linux without apic-support? [08:02] neosimago: uh, i used "sudo checkinstall" all by itself when i used it [08:02] does this mean /dev/audio is the microphone input? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=246992 im kinda dumb [08:02] mindrape, i did what it says [08:02] onetinsoldier: we are getting in trouble again :'( [08:02] hashbrowns: ext3 is a good default. i'm told by a filesystems expert to only go to xfs if ext3 cant handle the performance for a server with a ton of little files [08:03] does this mean /dev/audio is the microphone input? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=246992 im kinda dumb [08:03] hashbrowns: ext3 does "safer" journalling so if the power cuts your data's less likely to be hosed than with other FSes [08:03] oh? then i'm not understanding the [command [command arguments]] in the syntax [08:03] neosimago: when i use it, i just do sudo checkinstall make install ..so yeah, you go it, it sounds like [08:03] neosimago: the [] mean optional, i think [08:04] mindrape, http://paste.ubuntu.com/93634/ [08:04] !greek [08:04] #ubuntu-gr και #kubuntu-gr για Έλληνες χρηστές / #ubuntu-gr kai #kubuntu-gr gia Ellhnes xrhstes [08:04] thats how it says to extract it mindrape [08:04] neosimago: the "more correct" / safer way would be to properly package it and then build it in pbuilder, but um...i cant walk you through setting up pbuilder because my boyfriend set mine up for me *blush* [08:04] yea, cool. i'm gonna keep a backup of this k3b build with all options enabled. [08:04] mib_p1x3lt73d: the fglrx 8.12 driver compiled and built.deb's for my new 2.6.28 kernel, so i am going to install them and try them out, see if they work for this kernel version. be back after a bit. wish me luck! [08:05] use cabextract macjason0607 [08:05] hi all, is it possible to make flashplayer use OSS? [08:05] does this mean /dev/audio is the microphone input? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=246992 im kinda dumb [08:05] ottoshmidt: instead of pulseaudio? [08:05] onetinsoldier: keep the bitbucket empty... and the good bits fresh [08:05] yes [08:06] hold on let me try something .. yea [08:06] sorry didn't see that [08:06] mib_p1x3lt73d: thanks. see you after a bit [08:06] ottoshmidt: er....why? pulseaudio should just feed everything to oss for you... [08:06] ... looking into pbuilder [08:07] the thing is that, if I have login successful sound enabled other sounds won't play without reinitializing pulsuaudio [08:07] whilst OSS works fine === pikario is now known as wrii [08:07] except of flash [08:07] so can i write in any language in gedit [08:08] BellinXFelon, it's just a text editor.. so yes [08:08] What is the funktion of the program "Autorun Prompt"? = nautilus-autorun-software %u ? [08:08] ok [08:08] ottoshmidt: oooooh that's a bug. i think that's the race condition crimsun was grumbling about... [08:08] <|AMDMutant|> BellinXFelon: you can even write in your mother languange [08:09] now, wrt syntax highlighting, you'll be more limited [08:09] maco, I thought to make flash when OSS is set and all would be fine I guess [08:09] I mean make flash work when OSS is chosen [08:10] ottoshmidt: i think flash only works with ALSA though. we have to sort of hack around it to get sound with pulseaudio even. maybe you can try libswfdec? it's an open source flash implementation. works for youtube at least, though sites done entirely in flash dont always work. i think it has OSS support though [08:10] mib_p1x3lt73d: it figures. when i tried installing the .deb's it failed for this kernel version [08:11] <|AMDMutant|> strange... are they put new bts... [08:11] onetinsoldier: heh nice, i just realized my nick has been reg'd for over 7 years now... i spend too much time on freelode... err freenode [08:11] maco, ok I take a look [08:11] mib_p1x3lt73d: heh [08:12] mindrape, thanks .. worked like a charm [08:12] np [08:12] There always after me lucky charms...

[08:33] Does anyone know of a way to run a script every 3 seconds or so? [08:33] tavi: Evince opens them. it's the default. just double click the pdf and it'll do the right thing [08:33] mint_ looks like your perms are messed up in your /home/manuel/.mozilla/ folder... [08:34] at me open office open them [08:34] Peddy: while [ 1 ] ; do ./script.sh && sleep 3 ; done [08:34] future [08:34] whoops. [08:34] mindrape: perms are permissons? [08:34] kev009_: yes [08:34] yes [08:34] Um, anyone know how I'd go about checking if compiz is enabled via the command line? [08:34] ps aux | grep "compiz" [08:34] mib_p1x3lt73d: okay, how do I create the nfsroot environment? [08:34] Ta [08:34] hey [08:34] tavi: there's an app called Evince or Document Viewer. that's what opens PDFs. OOo can only write PDF [08:34] mindrape: how can i fix it? [08:35] mint_ cd /home/manuel/ ls -alh .mozilla then cd into that dir and check the perms as well. [08:35] mint_, can you post the full output? there's not enough output to see what fd 15/16 is [08:35] how can I convert ISO images into something I can use as a USB boot disk? [08:35] Thank you maco. :) [08:35] in the newest firefox is there anyway to get the organize bookmarks to work similar to the old firefox. i'm having trouble organizing them into folders [08:35] mindrape: will that give the same output each time? Need it for a script [08:36] kev009_: i just followed the how to, didnt have any problems... [08:36] cn28h: that's the full output, there is no more text [08:36] I tried copying all the contents over, renaming isolinux stuff to syslinux, and running syslinux on the drive, but that does nothing [08:36] maveric - it will show you if a process is running with the word "compiz" in it. [08:36] maveric - should be fairly standard... [08:36] Thanks. [08:36] mib_p1x3lt73d: which howto? the ones I see are all outdated [08:36] mint_, if you copied it from a terminal then probably your scrollback isn't large enough.. try strace firefox 2>&1 | pastebinit [08:36] kev009_: copied a minimal install from a fresh install i made [08:37] One last question. If I call a program from a bash script, will the script go to the next line straight away, or only when that program is closed? [08:37] maveric, depends if it's running in the foreground [08:37] maveric: only when that program is closed [08:37] maveric: by default at least. you can put it in the background if you want it to continue [08:38] Sweet, thanks. Disabling compiz to play a game, then reenabling all the time is damn annoying [08:38] kev009_: the one i used was for 6.x but was running 8.04 [08:38] So chucking it into a bash script =] [08:38] cn28h: try now - http://pastebin.com/m6ae9bb80 [08:39] well i finded evince but doesnt print [08:39] maveric - http://wooledge.org:8000/BashGuide good resource for you. [08:39] Thanks =] [08:39] mint_, looks the same.. dump the whole thing to a file first I guess. That or the pastebin script is eating part of the output :S [08:40] right now i have plugged a print [08:40] but doesn print [08:40] strace firefox >& dump.txt ; pastebinit dump.txt [08:40] cn28h - his pastebin has the full output... [08:40] cn28h: i can ensure you that's the full output the terminal gave me when i straced firefox, it started with read 15 [08:40] its very similar to mine except for the end... [08:40] maco: hey going back to my partitioning scheme question. I've got three drives. Where should I mount them all. 2 are 250GB and 1 is 500GB. Would the 8GB swap be quickest on the oustside of the 500GB drive compared to the outside of the 250GB? [08:40] mindrape, no, the beginning of the trace is not there [08:41] hashbrowns: er, idk [08:41] mindrape, how could the first system call be a select() on fds that don't exist yet? [08:41] cn28h - the relevant part is on line 485... [08:41] does anyone at all know how to convert between iso and img? anyone have a dd line which will do it? [08:42] maveric: you were asking about usb disks, right? [08:42] mindrape, ah, missed that [08:42] maco: I was [08:42] maximus_1: oh [08:42] maximus_1: oh yeah you're who just spoke right before me [08:42] Lol, I was asking about disabling com[piz from the command line for bash script. But my script didn;t work >.< [08:42] maximus_1: ok there's a thing called isostick.sh that's on the ubuntu wiki [08:42] maveric: i typed ma [08:43] :P [08:43] maximus_1: http://www.lmgtfy.com/?q=Ubuntu+convert+.iso+to+.img [08:43] ? [08:43] got an answer for me? [08:43] My script disables compiz, but doesn't run my game, and then just re-enabled compiz again. [08:44] maximus_1: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick [08:44] Where do I go for setting startup programs? [08:44] maveric, paste the script? [08:44] cn28h , mindrape: try now http://pastebin.com/f214d587f [08:44] #!/bin/bash [08:44] metacity --replace & [08:44] /home/maveric/Desktop/UrbanTerror/ioUrbanTeorr.i386 [08:44] compiz --replace & [08:44] exit [08:44] maveric: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [08:45] i need a wireless manager for ubuntu - which one should i get and how do i apt-get it? [08:45] mint_, yes that looks like the full output, but what mindrape said -- see that line with the access() calls that fail [08:45] can i apt-get wicd? [08:45] http://pastebin.com/m657e1aae [08:45] maveric - is there a reason you need shaded menus, windows, etc with transparency and wobbly windows etc while you are playing that game? [08:45] mindrape: I'm trying to disable all that crud [08:45] mib_5urfp8, you need to add the wicd repo, then you can apt-get it [08:45] mib_5urfp8, network-manager is good and installed by default [08:45] maveric - well the metacity --replace & oughta do it. [08:46] onx: how do i add it [08:46] but as an FYI I dont think that 2nd line is going to execute unless you throw a ./ infront of ioUrbanTeorr.i386 [08:46] It does disable it, but it fails to start my game. [08:46] mib_5urfp8: er, network-manager is installed by default [08:46] Ah, thanks. I'll try that mindrape [08:46] mib_5urfp8, google should know [08:46] /home/maveric/Desktop/UrbanTerror/./ioUrbanTeorr.i386 [08:46] maco: inurl:wiki.ubuntu.com isostick.sh ... reveals one site with no apparent shell script [08:46] nah, . is just the current directory and is redundant there [08:46] cn28h: sicerely, i don't know what do these lines mean, my linux knowledges are not so bigger [08:47] mindrape, that's definitely not going to change anything :) [08:47] maco: how do i scan for wireless networks with network-manager? [08:47] maximus_1: should be a download link... [08:47] mib_5urfp8, rifhtclick on the n-m icon :) [08:47] mib_5urfp8: left click th applet [08:47] Seveas: left! [08:47] Where do I go for setting startup programs? [08:47] maco, eh, oops :) [08:47] maco: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick [08:47] maco: none there either [08:47] mib_5urfp8: itll list all available networks [08:47] mint_, ls -ald /home/manuel/.mozilla/*/ [08:47] Seveas: what wont? [08:47] all i see is edit wireless networks [08:48] mindrape, the ./ [08:48] mib_5urfp8, does your wireless show up in iwconfig at all? [08:48] maybe a chmod +x is needed instead [08:48] mib_5urfp8: if you left click it, itll list what's available right below the name of your wireless card [08:48] Seveas - ...? Pull up a terminal... edit a file and save it as blarp.sh... ./blarp.sh [08:48] it forces execution [08:48] onx: no it doesnt [08:48] just passing a path to a bash script wont get you anything. [08:48] mindrape, no [08:48] cn28h: for what is the * ? [08:48] mindrape, no, . is the current directory.. ./file means to run file in the current directory [08:49] mindrape, ./foo means specifying a path [08:49] mib_5urfp8, you'll need to find a matching driver then first [08:49] maco: it only lists two networks which i attempted to connected when madwifi tools was working [08:49] mint_, just to glob the directory namews [08:49] since the current directiry rarly is on the path (good thing), you need to specify the path to make bash find it [08:49] cn28h - so thats why I told him ./hisprog [08:49] onx: i have madwifi drivers - it was working a week ago but it just went away [08:49] mindrape, he gave a path to it -- your path was the same [08:49] /home/maveric/Desktop/UrbanTerror/./ioUrbanTeorr.i386 <--- notice the ./ before ioUrbanTeorr? [08:49] mindrape, no, you told him to add a stupid extra ./ in the middle of a path which won't change anything [08:49] maximus_1: ok try unetbootin. i guess isostick is deprecatd [08:50] Seveas - yes it will... its saying in that path to execute that script [08:50] mib_5urfp8, pastebin the dmesg output of what happens when you load madwifi then [08:50] cn28h: it says to me that directory doesn't exist [08:50] mib_5urfp8: are the signals too weak to connect? [08:50] mindrape, please take linux lessons. The stupidity is radiating from you :) [08:50] mint_, hm. Are you running firefox as your user? [08:50] Seveas - well it apparently worked for him... :) [08:50] mindrape: I have now added that to the script [08:50] maco, should still show up in nm though [08:51] onx: s/he said 2 show up [08:51] nop, that's the saved ones. iwconfig shows nothing [08:51] onx: iwconfig doesnt show networks to begin with [08:51] cn28h: firstly, i run the command without sudo, and it said me denied permisson, then i used sudo with the command and it said that directory doesn't exist [08:52] onx: are you thinking of iwlist? [08:52] maco, iwconfig doesn't show his wireless at all [08:52] onx: oooo ok i gotcha [08:52] Seveas - read up on executing scripts... it worked for him. Apparently my "stupidity" helps people. :) [08:52] mint_, yeah. Don't use sudo to do this. And when you did the ls it said it didn't exist? Hm. ls -ald ~. Perhaps the permissions on your home directory are wrong? [08:52] onx: so do you think he meant it used to show 2 networks, then he installed bad drivers, then it broke? [08:53] mindrape, ok, here's a quick lesson in how bash executes things: === quinn_nuaa is now known as quinn [08:53] mindrape, ls -ald ~ # that is... . was part of my sentence and not part of the command ;P [08:53] Photoguy: for after login? [08:53] er [08:53] mintg [08:53] cn28h: no, as a normal user it says denied permisson [08:53] maco yes [08:53] Seveas - when you get done rambling feel free to explain why my solution worked for him... yawn. [08:53] mint_, ls said that? [08:53] maco, he said it worked, then broke. no idea what broke it yet, but the networks are just the saved ones [08:54] how do I get bluetooth working? === shingen1 is now known as shingen [08:54] mindrape: i'm with Seveas that putting a . randomly in the middle of a path does nothing [08:54] Photoguy: system / prefrences / session /startup [08:54] maco - its the end of the path telling it to execute the script ./ [08:54] if you give it a path (ie: something with slashes in it), it will try and execute that file. The path can be relative(such as foo/bar/az or ./foo) or absolute (/‌usr/bin/bash). If you give it something without a slash (eg. foo) it'll search every dir in $PATH for it. The current working dir is often not in $PATH so you need to give it a path. A relative path starting with ./ is also a path [08:54] mindrape: no... [08:55] maco, thanks [08:55] ./ isn't a relative path... it's telling it to execute. Go into a terminal and ./some.sh [08:55] yeah, what Seveas just said. [08:55] mindrape: "exec" or "bash" before the path would do that, but its already being told to execute by givin it the path [08:55] mindrape, now shut up until you know what you're doing. This time your 'help' was innocent, next time it might inadvertantly break someone's machine [08:55] mindrape: yes, it is a relative path [08:55] LOL... how could that break somebodys machine? [08:55] Either way, the script is now loading my game. I miss spelled terror at the end of it >.< [08:55] haha [08:55] mindrape: i think he's afraid of what you'll say next when you start running your mouth without knowing what you're talking about [08:56] But, compiz --replace && exit doesn't exit the script. I think because compiz is still spitting out input [08:56] Seveas - I've been a Linux admin for 10 yrs. :) [08:56] maco, indeed [08:56] scary [08:56] laugh... [08:56] mindrape: wow, that's pretty bad... [08:56] mindrape, rofl. Nobody in here believes that now :) [08:56] mindrape: and you still dont know how paths work? [08:56] cn28h: yes, i can paste the result, but it's in spanish, it basically says that ls cannot access to that directory and then it says denied permisson [08:56] so once again... you all fail to explain why my solution fixed his script and it magically started working [08:56] * mindrape LOLs [08:56] mindrape: because your "solution" had jack to do with it [08:56] hah. [08:56] mindrape: he just said teh problem was that he misspelled terror [08:56] mindrape, it did not, he probably did something else as well or something completely different was acting odd temporarily [08:57] mint_, ok, that's bad. echo $USER then tell me if it says manuel [08:57] mindrape, Either way, the script is now loading my game. I miss spelled terror at the end of it >.< === Kernel is now known as Wicked [08:57] so tell me again.. how can putting a relative path in an absolute path break a machine? [08:57] mindrape, so once again I urge to stop 'helping' if you don't know what you're doing. Next mistake can break someones machine [08:57] cn28h: yes, it says manuel [08:58] Seveas - I help hundreds of people a day in here... no broken machines yet but I'll keep you posted. [08:58] mint_, ok, stat ~ | pastebinit [08:58] mindrape: it demonstrates that you dont know jack, so Seveas is telling you to stop volunteering misinformation until you learn what the heck you're talking about because next time you might be talking about something that could break a machine [08:58] im updating to the new 2.6.28 kernel [08:58] !offtopic [08:58] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [08:58] I don't know jack? Interesting... [08:58] tell me more about what I know and don't know... [08:58] jemark: are you on 9.04 alpha? [08:58] random insults are pure comedy in here... [08:58] lets take bash arguments to #ubuntu-offtopic please [08:58] What should the permissions on /dev/scd0 (my cd drive) be? [08:59] Peddy, they should be something you don't change as udev sets them correcly :) [08:59] Peddy: mine are 750 [08:59] but uh, what Seveas said [08:59] jemark: cool, i just did the same, but i'm still pretty much going to use the stock 2.6.27 kernel. the ati fglrx driver doesn't yet work for 2.6.28. but my custom 2.6.28 kernel is waiting for it! [08:59] Peddy, if you can't access cd's make sure you're in the 'cdrom' group [08:59] maco, on intrepid [09:00] Seveas: udev is being naughty, it doens't allow me to access my own cd-drives :/ [09:00] Seveas: Ok, I'll have a look at the groups. [09:00] cn28h: http://pastebin.com/f6e13de8d [09:00] Peddy, are you trying to access them with the user created when installing or another user? [09:00] jemark: well the easiest thing to do might be to rebuild jaunty's kernel instead of going through manual configuration of the kernel.org sources [09:01] Hey, any ideas why Blender isn't responding to the "-w" command? [09:01] mint_, ok, that looks right.. now stat ~/.mozilla | pastebinit === infiloop is now known as Joe_B [09:01] how can i get ubuntu to connect to a hidden wireless network automatically at startup? [09:01] I tried editing the shortcut, I tried Caps "-W" and lower case "-w" but still comes up full screen. [09:02] maco, im building the new stable 2.6.28 kernel from www.kernel.org [09:02] cn28h: http://pastebin.com/f63b27ceb [09:02] wrii, click on the n-m icon, select 'connect to hidden wireless network'. Fill in the details and connect. [09:02] Seveas: User created while installing. I didn't change permissions, it just stopped working one night. Turns out I'm missing a bunch of permissions though (all of them, in fact, except for 'administer the system'). I'm fixing this now. Do I need to reboot or something? [09:02] Peddy, logout + login [09:02] i've done that, but i have to do that every time reboot [09:02] wrii - /etc/modprobe.d/options you can configure it to auto-connect when the driver is loaded [09:02] Thanks Seveas. [09:02] mint_, aha, here's your problem. root owns this one. sudo rm -rf /home/manuel/.mozilla [09:03] wrii, are you on 8.04 or 8.10? [09:03] cn28h: what?? [09:03] 8.10 [09:03] mint_, that will blow away the .mozilla directory. After doing this, try running firefox again [09:03] mindrape: dont [09:03] maco - dont what? [09:03] mint_: dont [09:03] mindrape, once again you're talking nonsense. Stop it. [09:03] mindrape: not you, sorry [09:03] talking nonsense about what? [09:03] maco, well, yes him anyway :) [09:04] mint_: you can just "sudo chmod -R mint:mint ~/.mozilla" and then you'll own it instead of root owning it [09:04] it says "connect automatically" in the network's settings, but it doesn't connect automatically [09:04] maco, eh same difference [09:04] cn28h: no.. big difference [09:04] cn28h: no, your idea deletes all mint_'s settings [09:04] maco: maco i cant figure out how to add the repository for wicd-get [09:04] cn28h: this one just makes him/her own the directory again [09:04] cn28h: what if he had flash installed, bunch of extensions, had a lot custom bookmarks, ect [09:04] * mindrape laughs at maco and Seveas... incessant idiocy [09:04] wrii, hmm, that would be a bug. one second [09:05] Question, is there an automated way to take a series of screenshots from a video file (as in program or script)? [09:05] Is there a way to edit Desktop effects, like advanced? I don't wan't "off, medium, High: [09:05] !ccsm | Photoguy [09:05] Photoguy: 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 [09:05] onetinsoldier, fair enough, I'm guessing his problem was he initially ran firefox as root which is why root owned .mozilla [09:06] cn28h: could be, perhaps he used sudo -c. i use sudo -i to avoid such problems [09:06] wrii, https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager/+bug/295796 [09:06] cn28h: do, what should i do? [09:06] onetinsoldier: -s, you mean? [09:06] mint_: the chmod line i gave you [09:06] maco: doh, yeah [09:07] wrii, so I'm afraid we can't fix that in here and you'll have to wait for that bug to be solved [09:07] mint_, sudo chown -R manuel:manuel /home/manuel/.mozilla [09:07] Is there a full-proof way to clone a ubuntu install from one HDD to another? [09:07] KillerOrca, some rsync creativity gets you a long way [09:07] thx, is there a way to get around the bug using a startup script or somethin? [09:08] KillerOrca, something like rsync -av --delete --exclude /proc --exclude /sys --exclude /tmp / other.machine.name:/ [09:08] cn28h: it works!!!!! [09:08] KillerOrca, but please read the rsync manpage first before doing that [09:08] well I can't boot with both HDDs installed, and I can't seem to run a livecd that has mount and rsync [09:09] KillerOrca: you can install rsync on the live cd [09:09] KillerOrca, just do an ubuntu install. rsync will fix any differences :) [09:09] KillerOrca: but ive never really heard of a live cd that lacks mount... [09:09] maco: thank you too for your atention [09:09] mint_: no problem [09:09] maco, that's because it's impossible :) [09:09] cn28h: thanks [09:09] Seveas: ah ok then [09:09] np [09:09] Seveas: that sounds about right [09:09] does ubuntu install lilo or grub? [09:09] maco, I can't run a normal livecd, had to install with alternate [09:09] maco, one needs 'mount' to mount the rootfs :) [09:09] maco: i don't do the sudo -i or sudo -c very often, but i just checked. i do the sudo -i, same as su it says --> sudo -i (equivalent to sudo su - , gives you roots environment configuration) [09:09] dios_here: grub [09:10] Starnestommy, thats a shame.. grub doesnt work [09:10] dios_here: huh? [09:10] dios_here: why doesn't it work> [09:10] Seveas, I might just torrent the new one and update the current install [09:10] dios_here: using a mac? [09:10] maco: it's want i like because then it doesn't clobber any regular user [09:10] onetinsoldier, sudo -i (and for oldere sudo's that don't know -i, sudo su -) are the Good Ways of becoming root :) [09:10] Hey, is anyone able to tell me what kind of sound quality I would get with alsa on a creative xfi extreme gamer card? [09:11] KillerOrca, you mean upgrading from one ubuntu version to the next? [09:11] I have two harddisks.. windows is on primary, and I installed debian on secondary.. then i installed grub on the secondary harddisk as it has boot priority from BIOS.. bvut grub failed to load either system [09:11] dios_here, #debian for debian questions please [09:11] j-a-k-e: test with a live cd. the alsa expert is likely asleep just now, but i think that's one that only has beta drivers available from creative right now [09:11] Seveas, yeah I will upgrade the current install, then dl the latest iso and install it on the target HDD [09:11] Seveas, I am not asking any question or help... I solved my problem... I am just saying that grub doesnt work [09:12] dios_here: no, you installed grub on the wrong hard disk [09:12] dios_here grub does work, what error do you get? [09:12] KillerOrca, ah ok, that makes sense than what I thought :) [09:12] maco, LILO works [09:12] koshari it fails to boot [09:12] dios_here: grub goes on the first disk and chainlinks the windows bootloader to boot windows. that's the direction that generally works [09:12] dios_here, grub works. The install thing made a boo-boo with your setup, to get help solving it on your debian system, /join #debian [09:13] maco, see that is why grub doesnt work [09:13] dios_here you coulnt be more specific, [09:13] Seveas, can i add something to a startup script in /etc/modprobe.d/options or something to get it to connect automatically that way? [09:13] if you don't want help, then please be quiet, there are people here who want help [09:13] dios_here: uh...? because you installed it wrong? [09:13] Seveas, I solved the problem with LILO.. I am not asking for help... I am discussing grub [09:13] wrii, no, mindrape was talking out of his ass [09:13] hi guys! when i install some soft i've msg: "Unable to lock the ​administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using ​it?" How i can install more than one pkg at once time? [09:13] dios_here, this is a support channel. Not a grub discussion channel [09:13] dios_here: well this is a help channel. if you dont want to help or be helped, shoo [09:13] maco, I didnt install it wrong... it just doesnt work... LILO works when installed on secondary harddisk [09:13] dios_here you didnt solve the problem with lilo , thats a workaround [09:14] bas: you cant [09:14] bas: unless you mean by listing all the packages you want to install in one command [09:14] Seveas, I actually plan to install ubuntu, that is why I asked if it comes with grub or lilo... because I fear it wont work [09:14] sooo mindrape was talking out of his ass? :) [09:14] bas apt-get install package1 package2 package3 [09:14] sarcasm doesn't convey over the internet:) [09:14] dios_here, grub by default. lilo available via the alternate cd [09:14] dios_here: on the last page of the installer, there's an advanced button. go in there and tell it to install grub on the right hard disk and you wont have a problem [09:14] maco, Seveas: tnx for help [09:14] bas, yeah eithe ryou are running an update or apt in a terminal while you are trying to install the package [09:15] maco, you dont get it.. I want to boot from my secondary hardisk === desti_T2 is now known as desti [09:15] dios_here, ubuntu uses grub [09:15] dios_here: *sigh* grub stage 1 goes on the first hard disk. it loads either windows or stage 2 [09:15] dios_here: stage 2 being on the second hard disk [09:15] if that was sarcasm, what can i add to /etc/modprobe.d/options to get it to load? if it wasn't sarcasm, then darn [09:15] maco, grub is a failure [09:15] dios_here, and grub works fine. === bas is now known as bas_kam [09:15] dios_here: if you want the ubuntu hard disk to be the one the motherboard talks to to boot, make it the first hard disk! [09:15] dios_here, even booting to second drive etc... You just have to know how to set it up. You can even boot windows as a slave drive. [09:16] maco, or use a boot loader that actually works [09:16] dios_here there are many reasons it may not have booted, grub could be looking for hdb which could be hda when you re route the bootstraping to the secondary drive [09:16] wrii, it wasn't sarcasm I'm afraid. mindrape really was talking out of his ass [09:16] dios_here: it generally helps if you configure things properly. take a look at the files in /boot/grub/ for a start [09:16] koshari, maco here says that grub only works if its installed on the primary harddisk [09:16] dios_here: you can force it to work the other way if you do magic with th config files [09:16] Question, is there an automated way to take a series of screenshots from a video file (as in program or script)? [09:16] so there is no startup script that can i can run automatically to connect to my hidden network automatically? [09:16] you could check the menu.12t file and use uuid or reinstall grub from a live disc using the menu.1st [09:16] on my mobo you can change which hdd is considered the first one in the bios. :-D [09:17] dios_here: the easy way is to just put it in a normal setup where the bootloader is on the master [09:17] hmmmmmmmmmm :( [09:17] dios_here, not necessarily true. You can use windows boot.init possibly to boot ubuntu on a second drive if thats what you want? But I don't know why you'd want to do that. [09:17] maco, a system should not force one to do this. For these situations lilo is still supported. Just let him use lilo :) [09:17] dios_here thats npt true because i have had systems with the primary a optical drive and the secondary the hdd boot with gru, you ab even boot from a usb key with grub [09:17] histo, I want to have my windows harddisk MBR untouched, in case the other is screwed then I can simply switch to it from BIOS [09:17] maco: thing is I'm actually running the 8.10 live cd now and it doesnt seem to support it out of the box or so to speak. Reading a thread in the ubuntu forums it seems I have to recompile the kernal and such to to install the driver for alsa. I'm just interested in sound quality here to give you an idea I actually have 8.04 installed with OSS4 and sound quality very 'average' compared to windows. [09:18] dios_here, getting that working would be much harder than just letting grub do it. If you want windows on a second drive and ubuntu on the first then I would recomend using grub and you have to edit the menu.1st to change some things so that windows doesn't think its on the second drive when it boots. [09:18] Seveas: doesnt lilo also force stupid things though? like you have to do things after evry time you twiddle the config files? [09:18] dios_here, then you would not want to use grub during the install. You can edit hte boot.ini and accomplish the same thing. Let me find you link. [09:18] shoeunited, this link may help http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=451457 [09:18] maco, yes, in many ways worse stupid things but at least it doesn't have the whole stage1/stage2 mess. If lilo starts, most of the time so will the system. With grub it still needs to find stage2 [09:18] how do i make zsnes play sound? [09:18] maco, you have to run lilo every time you install a new kernel.... which is like once in 5 years? [09:19] dios_here, but same problem. If windows drive is screwed then you would have to use grub boot disk or something. [09:19] dios_here: or every 2 weeks... [09:19] maco, kernell make install runs lilo on its own anyway [09:19] Thank you KillerOrca, I'll look into it. :) [09:19] dios_here: you dont do security updates? dang... [09:19] guys if im in ubuntu and i removed one of the panels .. can i just rm .config and rm .session ? [09:19] dios_here, well, you should install security updates. Which means a new kernel every few weeks. But kernel package install scripts run lilo :) [09:19] macjason0607: you can right click and add a new panel [09:19] maco, you can but I'd rather follow maco's advise [09:19] maco, i want the default [09:20] Seveas, are you talking about ubuntu's automatic updates? [09:20] dios_here, yes [09:20] macjason0607: top or bottom panel? i can tell you what's on each [09:20] I'm having a problem with apt-get update: it tells me a method gave invalid 400 URI Failure message [09:20] Seveas, I noticed a problem in ubuntu, which is the same in debian.. I just cant get it to obtain a static ip from my router.. I change the network admin settings, and it will still use dhcp [09:20] madmartian: which repository? [09:21] dios_here: network-admin has ceased to exist [09:21] madmartian, disable any proxy and/or use better servers for packages [09:21] maco, in 8.10? it was there in 8.04 [09:21] dios_here, that's because static IP's aren't obtained from routers. [09:21] maco: not sure, am using all four from main server and medibuntu [09:21] dios_here: yes [09:21] seveas: no proxy [09:21] dios_here, http://techiegeekuk.blogspot.com/2007/11/dual-boot-xp-and-ubuntu-710-via-bootini.html [09:21] dios_here: nm 0.7 has all its functionality anyway, so it was unneeded [09:21] madmartian: well which one does it say when it says 400? [09:22] maco, in my experience it had no functionatlity at all [09:22] Seveas, well whatever you call it technically.. my point is ubuntu and debian both fail to get me the IP i want [09:22] maco: It had just hit medibuntu non-free sources [09:22] dios_here, I had a way to get a static ip, I believe if you use the ifcongig command it will work [09:22] whats the best way to get a vm going for ubuntu, is there a netinstall iso? or should i get a DVD iso? [09:22] dios_here: it could connect to wep networks using intel 3945 wireless and nm couldnt. but it couldnt do dhcp, so i gave up and switched to command line for wep. but hey! turns out nm 0.7 on jaunty can do wep now...on like thr 3rd try...yay! [09:22] dios_here, that would use windows boot.ini to control the dual boot functionality. If the windows partition crashed you could just use a grub boot disk to get to linux. THe smae if you were using grub and the linux partition crashed. Or you could pop in a windows cd and fixmbr of the windows partition to get windows back. [09:22] dios_here, well, if you say what you want I might be able to see what's going wrong. Are you setting a static IP or not? If so, where? [09:22] KillerOrca, if I kill all the ubuntu/gnome network programs and do things manually, then yeah of course [09:22] madmartian: ok so medibuntu.org is down. no biggie. [09:23] plenky64: what's teh host machine? [09:23] maco: thanks, i was worried my new local mirror had broken everything [09:23] vista 64 [09:23] I'm having trouble connecting to the internet with my fresh ubuntu 8.10 amd64 install. I can access file servers that are in my lan and I can access my router configuration page but I cannot go to pages like google.com. Any ideas? [09:23] Hello all, I have this issue with my nautilus- can't figure out why, but whenever i try to run nautilus file browser, it just dies on me, a flick of the window, and poof! its gone. [09:24] plenky64: you can use a minimal install disk if you want net install, or you can use a regular ubuntu install disk [09:24] Seveas, right click on the network icon the right top corner on the panel, and go in sett8ings, and set a static ip and gateway and such.. click ok.. it just will continue using dhcp [09:24] The only time i can run it is when I run it from the computer icon on my desktop [09:24] plenky64: if you dont have any vm software yet, virtualbox.org is a free one [09:24] how big is the regular? [09:24] hashbrowns, either a default route is missing or your router is booing. Pastebin the output of the command: route -n [09:24] i have a licensed vmware workstation [09:24] dios_here, is that link what you were looking for? [09:24] the run command (/home/) doesnt work - nor does the gnome panel's places-> shortcut [09:24] histo, yes thanks man [09:24] plenky64: 700mb [09:24] plenky64, ~700MB [09:24] any ideas, anyone? [09:24] dios_here, yes your dhcp problem is a noted bug in intrepid [09:24] ok thats fine, as long as it aint 12gb like debian lol... thanks [09:24] Just out of interest, can anyone recommend a music manager with replay gain support? [09:25] seveas: how am I going to get it there? [09:25] dios_here, you can use /etc/network/interfaces and get around that issue. [09:25] histo... no wonder... it is an annoying failure.. [09:25] plenky64: er....debian's only 12gb if you donwload way too many of teh cds [09:25] dios_here, agreed. Its in the release notes. [09:25] yeah... [09:25] plenky64: the 20-cd-set is if you want to download the entire repository to disk [09:25] hashbrowns, hm, point taken. Is there a line in the output of that command starting with 0.0.0.0? [09:25] plenky64: you only need debian cd #1 [09:25] seveas: yes [09:26] yeah, i settled for netinstall with that one [09:26] hashbrowns, ok, is the gateway (2nd part of that line) your router? and the Genmask 0.0.0.0 as well? [09:26] * plenky64 thinks, 64 or 32 bit.. hrmph... think ill go 32 for now [09:26] not sure im ready for ubuntu 64 hehe [09:26] hello [09:26] seveas: yes [09:27] If i install ubuntu to a new HDD, can I copy over my /home from an existing install if it is not on its own partition? [09:27] plenky64, please consult the sticky int he 64bit forums. if you aren't sure. I'm running it and have been for some time. [09:27] plenky64, flash and everything else works just fine. [09:27] histo, has it been fixed in 8.10? bytheway I installed the newest debian yesterday and it has the same problem.. it will not work even if you manually edit interfaces [09:27] cool, good news [09:27] KillerOrca: yes [09:27] hashbrowns, ok, so the route is there. Guess 2: nat broken on the router. Try this: mtr google.com [09:27] dios_here: which is the newest debian? [09:28] dios_here: do you mean stable? because thats like a year and a half old [09:28] maco, 4.0release6 [09:28] hashbrowns, where does that 'stop', last host entry in the list on the left side that's not 0.0.0.0 or questionmarks [09:28] dios_here, debian will work if you edit interfaces and disable network manager. I'm not sure if that has been addressed in jaunty ask in #ubuntu+1 [09:28] has anyone here had any success installing ubuntu on a dell inspiron E1505 [09:28] maybe an non-ubuntu specific question: does foxmarks addon in firefox work in ubuntu and windows equally? [09:28] archiee: that's the 15" silver laptop, right? [09:28] dios_here, ubuntu intrepid will work if you do the same. Let me check my settings because i9 have static here. [09:28] yep [09:28] KillerOrca: believe so [09:28] archiee: ok then yes [09:29] any issues? [09:29] the live cd seems to work ok [09:29] archiee: on the 4 year old one i had, um, the volume buttons dont work. other than that, no [09:29] dios_here, yeah I edited the interfaces file and remove network manager from starting up. [09:29] the wifi was ok ? [09:29] seveas: "mtr google.com" produced "Name or service not know: No such file or directory" [09:29] archiee: but the hardware involved changes nearly constantly. if the live cd works ok, you should be good [09:29] cool [09:29] hashbrowns: cat /etc/resolv.conf [09:30] thanks maco [09:30] histo, ok I see [09:30] dios_here, just run sudo update-rc.d -f NetworkManager remove after you've made the changes to interfaces [09:30] hashbrowns, ah, so DNS is failing. Does /etc/resolv make sense (not empty, listing dns server that's probably your router) [09:30] histo, thanks [09:30] hashbrowns, ugh, no, I'm stupid [09:30] dios_here, its a bug in this version of nm [09:30] Hi. text on menus on certain software (twinkle, konversation and others) disappears. I cannot see the menus how can I assess and fix the problem? [09:30] seveas: how do I check that? [09:30] histo, yes that makes sense [09:30] hashbrowns, it means mtr is not installed [09:30] does /home include specific settings and apps installed? I have torrentflux and other things configured now and completely forgot how I did them === stovicek_ is now known as stovicek [09:31] KillerOrca: yes [09:31] KillerOrca, yes they are hiden files starting with a . [09:31] seveas: well "mtr google.com" took quite a while to spit that out ~45 secs or so [09:31] Hi all [09:31] KillerOrca: but! [09:31] hashbrowns, try this: tracepath google.com [09:31] KillerOrca: if you have thing on your panel that arent installed by default, youll get errors in gnome tilyou install them [09:31] KillerOrca, you can hit ctrl+h to show them in a file browser window or "ls -a" in a terminal to see all the hidden files and folders in your ~ [09:31] How can i prevent syslog to write the disk in every x seconds? [09:31] Can someone tell me what port bind9 needs to have open in order to work? I am trying to dig @a dns server - and it is not responding on that port. What port is it? [09:31] I have added "-" before every related line [09:31] but the problem is still exists... [09:31] CapaH, tcp and upd port 53 [09:32] CapaH, 53 [09:32] KillerOrca: i suggest using "dpkg --get-selections >> packages.list" on the old machine and "dpkg --set-selections < packages.list" on the new machine, then install and run "sudo dselect" and tell it to install. itll reinstall everything you had before. do that from a terminal before logging into gnome [09:32] MetaMorfoziS, are you sure nothing else is being logged. [09:32] maco, what about things like window managers and stuff? I messsed around with blackbox and am still using it [09:32] CapaH, udp is tried first, tcp as fallback and for large queries (such as AXFR requests) [09:32] thank you Seveas [09:32] seveas: "tracepath google.com" produced "gethostbyname2: Unknown host" [09:33] KillerOrca: whatver you have set to run by default when you login ought to be installed when you first login if you want to avoid errors [09:33] KillerOrca, Do you have a seperate home partitioin? if you are talking about reinstalling that is the way to go. [09:33] !seperatehome | KillerOrca [09:33] Sorry, I don't know anything about seperatehome [09:33] hashbrowns, ok, so DNS really is broken :) [09:33] histo: s/he's copying /home to a new computer [09:33] !home [09:33] Your home folder is where all of your personal files are usually kept. For moving your home folder to a separate partition, please see: http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/separatehome [09:33] no it isn't separate [09:33] hashbrowns, You have a problem with name resolution. Check /etc/resolv.conf [09:33] histo > i've used btrace to check it, and i have stopped x during the tests. kjournald, swapper and pdflush was the names of the processes that started the write, and i found out that if i stop sysklogd then my disk can sleep for minutes... [09:33] hashbrowns, Does /etc/resolv make sense (not empty, listing dns server that's probably your router) [09:33] !home | KillerOrca [09:33] KillerOrca: please see above [09:33] I want to move to a larger HDD [09:33] seveas: how do I check that? [09:33] Seveas: /etc/resolv.conf i think you mean [09:33] hashbrowns, cat /etc/resolv.conf (thanks maco!) [09:33] KillerOrca: yeah its fine just listen [09:34] MetaMorfoziS, well what exactly do you want ot accomplish have syslog running but not write to disk? [09:34] KillerOrca: that dpkg stuff i said will make whats installed on the new one match what was on the old one [09:34] histo > not write in every few seconds... [09:34] one question, what is safer to make online transfers, firefox or opera? [09:34] hey guys, know where i might get 'kdebase-kio-plugins' for intrepid? i wonder if could i use the one for hardy? i'd like to install this package and the only thing that's missing is the kdebase-kio-plugins but i wonder what depends it has --> http://packages.ubuntu.com/intrepid/knights [09:34] so yes... [09:34] maco what about the configurations I've made, how do I keep those? [09:34] MetaMorfoziS, Well you may want to find otu what its writing. [09:34] Strange, ok 53 IS open - and I can telnet to port 53 from the remote comp I am doing the dig from. However, I get this: connection timed out; no servers could be reached <-- Any ideas? I can run dig @localhost domain.com with no issues. [09:34] mint_, no difference. Though firefox by default has phishing filters built in, don't know about opera [09:34] seveas: well it isnt pointing to my router but looks like the comcast dns servers which seems right since unfortunately im a comcast customer. [09:35] KillerOrca: if theyre for your user, they are in your home directory [09:35] KillerOrca: if they're for the system, theyre in /etc [09:35] CapaH, tcp and udp are open? bind9 isn't listening on just 127.0.0.1? [09:35] how? And if i have added dash to every line's start, then why it writes anything? [09:35] hashbrowns: can you ping the dns server? [09:35] hashbrowns, can you ping the ip addresses listed in that file? [09:35] maco, stop beating me! [09:35] Seveas: Yes becuase I can telnet from the remote comp to port 53 [09:35] MetaMorfoziS, cat /var/log/syslog is anything being timestamped in there ever few seconds? [09:35] maco: how would I check that? [09:35] Seveas_: ok, thanks [09:35] seveas: same question [09:35] hashbrowns: type "ping" followed by the ip address [09:36] Seveas: i win? [09:36] hashbrowns, ping 1.2.3.4 (replace 1.2.3.4 by the dns server you found) [09:36] hashbrowns, hit ctrl+c to stop the pinging [09:36] histo > i don't know, i have on cron script that runs in every minutes (fan speed controller, did not writes anything) [09:36] hello, is it possible to find out size of package which I am going to install? (including dependencies) [09:37] Pe3k: itll tell you before it asks you to confirm installation [09:37] And i have "-" before the syslog and the cronjob's logfile's too in syslog.conf [09:37] Pe3k, yes, apt-get -s install foo (-s means simulate, so it won't download and install) [09:37] thanks [09:37] MetaMorfoziS, try checking "cat /proc/sys/vm/block_dump" [09:37] Seveas, : Take a look at this pastebin: http://pastebin.ca/1294444 <-- result of the dig [09:37] Is there a good existing script out there that rips DVDs to HDD when you insert them? [09:37] 0 [09:37] how do i install a package? [09:38] (manually) [09:38] Pe3k, err, scratch my answer. -s doesn't show size either. Try what maco said. Just run the install command and it'll tell you [09:38] utremifasola > dpkg -i yourpkg.deb [09:38] sudo* [09:38] it's source MetaBot [09:38] MetaMorfoziS, i mean [09:38] :) [09:38] sorry MetaBot [09:38] hey im new to linux how do i install java and flash player? [09:38] utremifasola: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [09:38] Seveas:ok [09:38] wayne: to gt those and codecs and fonts... sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras [09:38] histo > it's 0, what does it mean? [09:39] Is there a good existing script out there that rips DVDs to HDD when you insert them? [09:39] maco what does that mean exactly lol [09:39] MetaMorfoziS, check this thread http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=833301 [09:39] thank you! [09:39] seveas: how long should it take normally? It never gave me back the prompt and ive been sitting at it for ~1min [09:39] utremifasola, tar zxf source.tar.gz ; cd source/ ; ./configure ; make install [09:39] I have a couple of questions if anyone is willing to answer [09:39] seveas: only spat out one line too [09:39] thanks di [09:39] dios_here, [09:39] wayne: if you type that command into a terminal, itll pull in java, flash, stuff for playing mp3s and dvds and wmv and all the other types of audio/video you can think of [09:40] utremifasola np [09:40] hashbrowns, that means the dns server is failing. it should take no more than a few seconds. [09:40] hashbrowns, can you do: tracepath -n 1.2.3.4 (again replace that 1.2.3.4) and see where that stops? [09:40] seveas: okay just hit ctrl+c and 229 pakets sent 0 returned [09:40] MetaMorfoziS, near the end of that thread he found the problem to be with a dvdrw drive he recently installed. [09:40] why are there old version of packages in the lts repo? [09:41] I mean there's no 2.6.27 kernel n all [09:41] is there a good app for ripping DVDs reliably? [09:41] hashbrowns: try editing /etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf [09:41] histo > it's an eeepc (without any optical rom) :-) But i will check that [09:41] seveas: there are three different nameserver entries in cat /etc/resolv.conf should I check them all? [09:41] hashbrowns: add "prepend domain-name-servers 208.67.222.222;" then redo your dhclient to make it use OpenDNS [09:42] hashbrowns, the more info, the better [09:42] MetaMorfoziS, well the person helping him also offers other suggestions. But you may want to try searching the forums for your problem. I'm not currently experiencing it. [09:42] maco, opendns sucks. And won't help if it's a routing or NAT problem after all :) [09:42] Seveas: true. but it will help if the dns server is down :P [09:42] Seveas: and it doesnt really suck... [09:43] automount can get confusing in ubuntu , ie; type vfat (rw,nosuid,nodev,uhelper=hal,shortname=mixed,uid=1000,utf8,umask=077,flush) [09:43] maco, using dns for content filtering is just security by obscurity. And the extra TLD's are useless unless everybody uses them [09:43] Seveas, whats the problem with opendns ? I use it and its faster than my isp's dns servers. [09:43] Seveas: opendns doesnt do the extra TLDs [09:43] seveas: well if the dns servers were down I dont think this machine would be up. This machine and the other machine that is having problems are both on the same lan. Unless of course I'm an idiot and dont know what im talking about which may very well be the case. [09:43] maco, ah, then I have my facts mixed up. Sorry [09:43] Seveas: at least i dont think....pretty sure that's a different one [09:43] maco im having trouble with the terminal like entering the password [09:44] wayne: type it and hit enter. its not supposed to show anything [09:44] histo > okay. I have checked smatctl -a, and i have found that my load_cycles is pretty high. My hdd is lived down it's life's 30% under 64 days. (it's load cycle is at 162000 and the manual says the max is about 600k) [09:44] hashbrowns, no, you make perfect sense unfortunately. Is the router perhaps a comcast box that only allows a limited number of machines to access the internet? [09:44] hashbrowns, your not alone on the ID10T front , not that it will make you feel any better [09:44] Seveas: opendns does do content filtering if you have an account and whatnot and set it up. i just use it so if some malware changes the dns settings on the router, i'm safe [09:45] maco, if malware manages to change your router settings, 'safe' is not what I would call your situation... [09:45] no matter which dns box you use [09:45] < --- vi /etc/fstab and cross fingers .... [09:45] seveas: that tracepath you told me to do, the first line returned name-desktop.local (192.168.0.3) 0.106ms pmtu 1500 and the rest of the lines were no reply [09:45] i'm trying to install zsnes on linux and when i run ./config i get the error message "The sdl-config script installed by SDL could not be found" [09:46] Seveas: well if im at a coffee shop and some jagoff with windows or mac installs "codecs" that alter dns settings on the router (yes, there is a known "codec" installer that does this...not really a codec), im not getting dns from that routr then [09:46] Seveas, what problems have you had with open dns? Or do you know of a better solution for alternative dns server. [09:46] but i have libsdl installed [09:46] hashbrowns, that means it cannot even access the router. You said you could access it before, didn't you? Can you check that again? [09:46] utremifasola, isn't there a znes deb on getdeb? [09:46] utremifasola: libsdl-dev too? [09:46] The process 'Xorg' is taking up 50% CPU, even after a reboot, anyone know what may cause this to happen? [09:46] histo, I run bind on my kitchen server :) [09:46] seveas: and the router is a netgear router. It worked before when I had like ubuntu 7.10 installed right out of the box but now it doesnt for some reason. the modem though, is a comcast provided one. Motorola surfboard something or another [09:46] Peddy: compiz [09:46] rabidweezle, but the sound does not work using that package. i was advised to install it from source [09:46] also try to install all the sdl-dev packages [09:47] as in the -dev ones [09:47] you need dev packages to compile it into apps [09:47] maco, openvpn ftw :) (I *always* tunnel to home when abroad) [09:47] maco: Even when I use Metacity instead, it's still that high. [09:47] ok :) [09:47] Seveas: true... though my tunneling is usually to my school [09:47] Peddy, what proc ? [09:47] kop, Xorg [09:47] seveas: I just opened up firefox and pointed it to 192.168.0.1 (my router) and entered my password and username and it took me to the router configuration page so I assume I can access it. [09:48] so you should in total have like sudo apt-get install libsdl-dev sdl-mixer-dev sdl-whatever-dev [09:48] Seveas: cosí doesn't allow tunneling however. yet for some reason their Terms of Use thing says "this is not encrypted and is thus not secure. we recommend using a vpn" and then they block protocol 51! [09:48] I'd grab em all [09:48] Peddy, should have been more specific , what processor ? [09:48] maco, protocol 51? ipsec? [09:48] Seveas: yes [09:48] this is the first program i've compiled in a looooong time [09:49] do you have all the x dev packages too? [09:49] maco, ipsec+nat usually doesn't work well. Try an ssl vpn such as openvpn [09:49] kop, I thought you meant process, I have an Intel Core 2 Duo E6750 @ 2.6GHz [09:49] (most of these hotspots are nat) [09:49] Seveas: can't. my school uses ipsec and cisco vpn. it works fine from all cafés except cosí because they're deep-packet-filtering jagoffs [09:50] seveas: so what should I do now? [09:50] ah. cisco. They have an ssl vpn solution too :) [09:50] kop, I realize my question was really vague, but there's no other way of explaining it :P [09:50] hi... i'm going to buy a new external hard disk for the ubuntu desktop. should i buy maxtor or seagate? [09:50] I know when I compile stuff I gotta grab a messload of library dev packages and xorg, and ogg, zlib, sdl, mesa, glut.... etc [09:50] Seveas: not exposed at my school though :P [09:50] hashbrowns, I really have no idea. Is there perhaps a firewall on your pc? Or one on the router that doesn't like your IP address? [09:51] maco, ah well, it's better than crappy juniper vpn anyway :) [09:51] KalEl: which one is on sale at your local computer store? [09:51] maco: both... but maxtor is cheaper [09:51] KalEl: so go with that :P [09:51] Peddy, does seem high as I am using a dual PIII @930 and 1g ram I see only 10 -13% with full boat compiz on two xservers (dual head ) [09:51] ok thanks [09:51] KalEl: people say "oh X is the best hdd manufacturer" but it varies from year to year... [09:52] i never bought hard disk before so i don't know about any brand [09:52] seveas: does the ubuntu CD come installed with a firewall? I just did a fresh install and havent changed anything yet. [09:52] KalEl: its only in hindsight that you really see who did best which year with which models [09:52] i see... thanks [09:52] kop, when you use the command 'top', how much CPU usage does Xorg have? [09:52] it's a 1 tb hard disk [09:52] hashbrowns, no firewall then. [09:52] KalEl: wowie! [09:53] KalEl, year to year and size and interface and manufacturer and ... :-) [09:53] hi there - my USB stopped working on hardy - that is hardy doesn't recognise any usb devices anymore [09:53] :) [09:53] hi, i get an mpd error when i want to install something via synaptic [09:53] Peddy, 10 -13% cpu [09:53] Seveas, can I pm you? [09:53] anyone experiencing some strangeness after the upgrade to intrepid/ [09:53] maxtor is cheaper by 24%, only Rs. 6250. so then i will go with that... thanks! [09:54] i am trying to install netbeans 6.5 on ubuntu and the install.sh didn't put a binary in my path -- where should i put a symbolic link to the executable? [09:54] /usr/bin ? [09:54] histo, you can but in 20 seconds I'm gone, have to do some shopping. [09:54] Seveas, k [09:54] bonhoffer: /usr/local/bin for things installed not-from-repos usually [09:54] Seveas: bye bye [09:54] o.k. thanks [09:55] seveas: I also have static routes to the two ethernet ports on that computer so I don't see why the router would be blocking this computer or anything. [09:55] Peddy, compiz is another 10% but firefox is a real whore @ 48% [09:55] maco, the convention is /opt for 3rp party packaged things and /usr/local for 'sysadmin installed' things like with make install :) [09:55] Seveas: few things ever use /opt though === EeveeTrainer is now known as pikario [09:56] maco, most things that use it annoy me. (commercial virusscanners at $work) [09:56] Seveas: OOo 3 packages? [09:56] how can i stop windows from docking/sticking to the edge of the screen? [09:56] * Seveas off, bbl [09:56] rabidweezle: you mean like OOo 2.4 in Intrepid displaying things differently than OOo 2.4 in Hardy does? [09:56] maco what do i do when it comes up with package configuration [09:56] Seveas, the unsupported Matrox driver .... uses /opt [09:57] pikario: install compizconfig-settings-manager and then in it go to Wobbly Windows and disable sticking [09:57] seveas, maco: do you guys have any other ideas as to how to fix my problem? [09:57] wayne: what? [09:57] hashbrowns: nope [09:57] maco, huh, i typed sudo ln -s netbeans /usr/local/bin/netbeans (from my netbeans bin directory) but netbeans in bash returns bash: netbeans: command not found [09:57] wayne: hashbrowns reboot? [09:57] bonhoffer: absolute path [09:57] hashbrowns: maybe reboot [09:57] wayne: sorry [09:58] wayne: is it asking you something? [09:58] lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 8 2008-12-27 04:55 netbeans -> netbeans [09:58] maco after you told me to type sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras [09:58] maco, got it [09:58] now its comes up with package configuartion [09:58] and no its not asking me anything i dont think [09:58] wayne: it downloaded them all right? so now it's doing the actual install [09:59] Peddy, I have no real answer for you other than it seems like a valid question 40+% cpu for Xorg is high [09:59] mmk [09:59] bonhoffer: is that a java app? [09:59] onetinsoldier: yes [09:59] kop I'm going to try on another account and Gnome safe mode etc. Thanks for your help. [09:59] onetinsoldier: its like eclipse [09:59] netbeans -- yes [09:59] Peddy, possibly /j #xorg :-) ?? [09:59] where is wobbly windows? [10:00] in compizconfig [10:00] maco, among other things yes [10:00] strange freeze ups... [10:00] bonhoffer: bash won't work on it the... you need java command [10:00] then8 [10:00] pikario: under Effects [10:00] onetinsoldier, it has a bash executable -- i can run it from its bin directory [10:00] just fine [10:00] when I press on the num keys and the num lock turn on the mouse pointer is moving by the number direction instead of writing the numbers, how can I fix it ? [10:00] bonhoffer: oh, hmmm [10:00] rabidweezle: kernel panics or just thngs getting slow and all the apps freezing up for 30 seconds at a time? [10:01] firefox freezes... [10:01] x crashes [10:01] what is the qt gtk adapter called? [10:01] rabidweezle: yeah im told 2.6.27 is just crappy at resource allocation [10:01] and full kernel crashes [10:01] bonhoffer: you mean your wondering why you have to actually go into /usr/local/bin to be able to run it? [10:01] maco do i have to restart now? [10:01] rabidweezle: i get the everything slowing and freezing thing in intrepid and jaunty [10:01] wayne: no [10:01] I mean at one point, bluetooth applet was using over a gig of ram [10:02] wayne: just use whatever you want [10:02] lol my windows are wobbly now [10:02] a gig of ram for an applet?! [10:02] O_O [10:02] no -- initially, i was wondering where i should put the executable in my path [10:02] bonhoffer: ok, i see [10:02] all working well now [10:02] and my laptop don't even have bluetooth [10:02] cool [10:02] rabidweezle: as far as kernel panics, not sure why you're getting those. likely a specific driver [10:02] I am trying to set up bind dns... I have created all the zone files/etc - I can run dig @localhost and it works fine. I can telnet to port 53 and it works fine. However, when I look at daemon.log I see: command channel listening on 127.0.0.1#953 -- seemingly it is listening on localhost but other ips... Any ideas? [10:02] probly [10:02] rabidweezle, You should file a bug report, it's obviously a memory leak [10:03] pikario, better than the opposite my windows are stable and I'm wobbly [10:03] rabidweezle: sys / admin / services ...disabl bluetooth :P [10:03] I did [10:03] ^_^ [10:03] pikario, might have something to do w/ scotch [10:03] kop, what temperature does your CPU average at? [10:03] Peddy: if you disable compiz, does your Xorg usage go down? [10:03] seveas: any other ideas? [10:04] hashbrowns: he's afk [10:04] maco: Nope, if by disable compiz you mean metacity --replace [10:04] maco, what temperature does your CPU average at? [10:04] Peddy: right... [10:04] anyone here have a dell latitude c610? [10:04] maco: oh, okay. Thanks [10:04] maco: under average load [10:04] Peddy: um...it averages at "warmer than skin temperature" [10:05] maco: reboot didn't change anything though... :( [10:05] Peddy: i dont have lm-sensors installed [10:05] hashbrowns: hey i ran out of ideas. i went into windows-troubleshooting-mode :P [10:05] hashbrowns: oh wait [10:05] okey maco :D [10:05] hashbrowns: did a mouse chew through your cat5? [10:05] wbu kop? [10:05] hashbrowns: or your cat? [10:05] after I made a script to keep slamming my laptop with i8kfan 2 2 every 10 seconds my laptop runs at 35c at all times now [10:06] maco: no, least I dont think so. I can still access other file servers on my lan [10:06] hashbrowns: er...did your cat chew through your cat5? not "did a mouse chew through your cat?" :P [10:06] !apt [10:06] APT is the Advanced Package Tool, which together with dpkg forms the basic Ubuntu package management toolkit. Short apt-get manual: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptGetHowto - Also see !Synaptic (Gnome) or !Adept (KDE) [10:06] maco: i just cant get out of my lan onto the internet [10:06] Peddy, -122.16541 x 47.14801 [10:07] 47 at full load? [10:07] hashbrowns: i thought you couldnt reach your router eithr [10:07] ok I have a "real" question - is there an easy way to determine cpu temp other than going to the bios ? [10:07] ok i loaded a .mp3 file in audacious and it's not playing what can i do to correct this? [10:08] maco: no I can get to it. At least the configuration pages on it. [10:08] hashbrowns: oh ok [10:08] when I press on the num keys and the num lock turn on the mouse pointer is moving by the number direction instead of writing the numbers, how can I fix it ? [10:08] hashbrowns: well im out of ideas, and its after 5am here, so i'm going to sleep [10:08] maco: do you think its something shady on comcast's end? [10:09] E-XtraCt: try turning off num lock.the light might jut be wrong [10:09] maco, nope it's OK [10:11] if I wanted to setup my .bashrc with fortune | cowsay, how would I do that so as soon as I logged into console it would do that?

You can however obtain a hostmask cloak: see http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#cloaks [10:16] kippy, not on freenode largely though [10:16] kop, how do you mean, 10k? [10:16] bazhang, ok :) [10:16] hey.. I'm currently using ubuntu via wubi, and i'm afraid i've set my partition too low [10:17] Peddy, PM [10:17] is it possible to exoand my wubi file?

[10:30] mebbe lol [10:30] I'm thinking maybe a hot glue gun [10:31] is hotglue conductive/ [10:31] ?* [10:32] pikario i put that in the terminal and this came up again- E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem. [10:33] hrm, says on liquid nails site that some plastics can't be bonded with any type of glue :( [10:33] !hcl [10:33] For lists of supported hardware on Ubuntu see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport - To help debugging and improving hardware detection, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingHardwareDetection [10:33] wayne, just run dpkg --configure -a and let it do what it says [10:33] and then you can use the apt-get or the synaptic package manager [10:33] so sudo dpkg --configure -a [10:35] I am missing /lib/modules/my-kernel/build/ -- what package do I need to install to get this? [10:35] umm this came up kippy- requested operation requires superuser privilege [10:35] Can anyone here tell me why I am able to telnet to port 53 on a machine, but dig @that_ip_address fails? I have set up allow-query { any; } listen-on { any; } ? [10:35] i've installed the latest fresh 2.6.28 kernel and my x3100 video performance improved a bit :) [10:35] wayne, sudo dpkg --configure -a [10:36] sudo = superuser privilege [10:37] is there a way I can sandbox a known unreliable process? [10:37] yes wayne, as pikario said, use sudo dpkg --configure -a and then type in your password when it asks for, it will not echo back your password so just type it and press enter [10:37] I have a bloody package on my system that cuts out sometime, I'd like to ensure that it cannot take down the system (and then log what happened) [10:38] is there such a process sandboxing system besides a whole virtual machine? [10:38] kuperick, look into SELinux [10:39] kippy, ok, so in this distro, does it use something to sandbox processes? [10:39] quick question: where do i set 4 virtual desktops in 8.10? [10:40] my cube is rather flat :/ [10:40] lozzaaa, add fusion icon and compiz advance settings - you can then load the cube icon, right click, settings, and change it all there === bas is now known as bas_kam [10:41] aha [10:41] yes, 8.10 defaults with a flat cube, what the point, I know... [10:41] kuperick, it is not a distro but more of an approach to enhance the security of your linux system, It is Security Enhanced Linux and it goes further than the traditional unix file permissions to enhance security. You can create whitelists and blacklists allowing access to particular files and resources. I have no practical experience with it but acc to your situation I think this is what you need [10:41] how can i use apt-get to get wicd [10:41] lozzaaa, you need two packages - the advanced settings, and fusion icon [10:41] thanks :) [10:41] hi [10:42] kippy, no, I don't need enhanced security - I don't care if it rages rampant on my disk, I just want to sandbox memory access and stop it from 'taking down' my system [10:42] kippy, this has nothing to do with security [10:42] how can I search for file in packages ? [10:42] i see process runing npviewr.bin and it uses 14 % CPU can you tell me what is it? [10:42] i see process runing npviewer.bin and it uses 14 % CPU can you tell me what is it? [10:42] kibibyte: that npviewer.bin is flash [10:42] I with there was a sandbox shell or something [10:42] kuperick, yeah i get it but it will allow sandboxing as well as far as i know [10:42] Starnestommy, how come [10:42] kippy, no, I googled, found nothing about it [10:43] and sandboxing isn't simple.... I need to run a process as if virtual, but with normal access - how does the sandbox know which access it will do that will crash the system (basically, why can a process take down my system?) [10:43] kuperick, okay sorry mate. I had read about it on ubuntu wiki [10:43] no worries, just discussing [10:44] i want to update openoffice from 2.4.1 to 3.0, but in synapic this pkg is absent. on oo site i can get deb or rpm pkg - what better? [10:44] but, I am not root, so why can this process run away like that? it isn't predictable, so I can't run certain tests [10:45] bas_kam: deb definitely better, rpm is for red hat based systems [10:45] hello how to creat a directory listing? so that my friends can see all my files using http://123.456.7.8:port [10:45] red hat is shit [10:45] its like windows [10:46] jigp: you could just use Apache if you want them visible via http in a browser? There are probably more sophisticated options though [10:47] i have two PC's one with ubuntu, one with openSUSE. the ubuntu one sees the opensuse PC. but the opensuse PC does not see ubuntu [10:47] anyone know what package I need to get stuff in my /lib/modules/2.6.22-14-generic/build/ directory? [10:47] balleyne : I want them to see my files and also they can download php files.and also I can hide some important files so that they can't see it.. [10:47] What port does dns use? [10:48] balleyne : I have apache installed.and when I tried to visit my files using http:// all I can see is a txt like "it works" [10:48] ahh nvm 53 [10:48] histo : 53 udp [10:48] jigp: ah, yeah, so there's an index.html in /var/www/ or something -- if you delete or rename that file, it'll display the directory listing [10:49] jigp: Apache provides a default index file, it's only in the absence of an index file that Apache displays a directory listing [10:49] balleyne : http://192.168.0.8/ "it says IT works! " [10:49] /var/www/html/ i think. [10:50] my cpu usage is very high, one up to 100% when run nothing, cpu is tl58, amd64 x 2 1.9M , does anyone have the same problem? [10:50] hey guys hello everyone [10:50] balleyne : it says "it works!" but I don't see my home directory files or parent directory or index directory [10:50] can someone help me with the XFCE desktop environment??? [10:50] jigp, default apache is /var/www [10:50] usually I try to search for style file in latex, but I am not sure in what package it is and it is not included in the name or description of any package, how can I search for a file in my repository ? [10:51] histo : what to do with /var/www? [10:51] jigp: Right, so that "it works" is coming from an index.html file that Apache has, probably /var/www/index.html -- you need to rename or delete that file before you'll get a directory listing [10:51] jigp, thats the default location for your html files with apache. What are you trying to accomplish exactly [10:51] jigp, nvm I just saw your first message [10:51] wouldnt you change the directory in httpd.conf ? [10:52] balleyne : ok I saw it in /var/www the "index.html" delete it? [10:52] jigp, you need to edit your apache configuration to share your home [10:52] setting up user personal web pages ia a httpd conf setting I thought, :) [10:52] jigp: even when you do that though, it'll just give you a directory listing of that directory (/var/www/) -- so you'd put the files you'd want to share in there, or create a symlink or something [10:52] does someone have an idea on how to launch a terminal by shortcut on the xfce desktop environment???? [10:52] jigp: Yeah, you can delete it, or just rename it if you want [10:52] jigp, then you could http://whatver/jigp to see your homedirectory files [10:52] jigp, err http://****/~jigp [10:53] harlemdavvey, make a launcher that launches gnome-terminal or whatever terminal app you want. I forget how xfce makes launchers.. some right click menu [10:53] kd3 is the name of the burning software right? [10:54] jigp, follow the directions here http://dollarunderscore.wordpress.com/2007/05/19/local-directories-with-apache-on-ubuntu-704/ I'm assuming thats what you want ot do [10:54] anyone know what package I need to install for /lib/modules/2.6.22-14-generic/build to be created? [10:55] balleyne histo dr_willis thanks [10:55] CoUrPsE|DeAd, i use 'k3b' under kde. :) [10:55] histo : but im using ubuntu kde 8.04 [10:55] ahh, k3b, ta. [10:55] lol. [10:55] jigp, thats okay those directions still apply if thats what you want to do. [10:55] But im using gnome, any good software for gnome? [10:56] CoUrPsE|DeAd, you can use kde apps in gnome [10:56] could someone help me with my xfce desktop environment please??? 1- i would like to know how to launch the terminal by shortcut 2-i would like to know how to stop applications from working [10:56] CoUrPsE|DeAd, theres burning apps for gnome.. or use k3b.. [10:56] thought so. [10:56] could someone help me with my xfce desktop environment please??? 1- i would like to know how to launch the terminal by shortcut 2-i would like to know how to stop applications from working [10:56] !bets | CoUrPsE|DeAd [10:56] ? [10:56] Sorry, I don't know anything about bets [10:56] could someone help me with my xfce desktop environment please??? 1- i would like to know how to launch the terminal by shortcut 2-i would like to know how to stop applications from working? [10:56] this is nice tutorial histo. how about if I publish it to the net so that my friends can saw my php coded files like www.myip.com/~jigpe [10:56] i'm right. [10:56] !best | CoUrPsE|DeAd [10:56] CoUrPsE|DeAd: 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. [10:56] didnt ask for best, :P [10:56] harlemdavvey you have looked at the xfce docs/homepage/guides? its not too hard a desktop to figure out for #1.. and for #2 - your question is a bit vague [10:56] jigp, yes. [10:57] ask for good. Brasero just made frisbiees. [10:57] jigp, or you could just put them in /var/www right now and they could see them at http://www.myip.com [10:57] CoUrPsE|DeAd : http://www.google.com.ph/search?q=software+for+gnome&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=com.ubuntu:en-US:unofficial&client=firefox-a [10:57] histo thanks :) [10:57] hey i really cannot figure out how to launch a terminal by shortcut [10:57] jigp, those directions are for setting up a directory in your home that is shared on the webserver via username like www.myip.com/~jigp [10:58] jigp, default set up is to just have the /var/www folder hold all the html docs so that www.myip.com just looks in /var/www on your computer. [10:58] harlemdavvey1: have you tried right-clicking on the XFCE panel and adding a launcher? [10:58] CoUrPsE|DeAd : I use gnome brasero in kde desktop.works fine. [10:58] CoUrPsE|DeAd, most all of the burnign apps are just front ends to the same identical backend cli tools... [10:58] no, i just want to shortcut with my keyboards [10:58] keyboard [10:58] not from desktop [10:58] histo : I cannot delete the "index.html" using mouse right click..should be root or something [10:58] Humm k, so i need to be fixing something else then, thanks guys. [10:59] histo thanks for this http://dollarunderscore.wordpress.com/2007/05/19/local-directories-with-apache-on-ubuntu-704/ .. very nice step by step course [10:59] jigp, you can use sudo to delete files in /var/www [10:59] Isnt renaming to -bak a better idea? [10:59] Hey [11:00] histo : after deleting it I will copy and paste the files in /var/www right? [11:00] histo : no more coding? [11:00] jigp, if you need root access to a /var/www in a file browser you can gksu nautilus [11:00] jigp, for 'system' level alterations of files and stuff.. you MUST do so as the root user with sudo. or other ways.. be VERY VERY carefull with rinning the file manager as root. [11:01] jigp, you need to use sudo to put files in /var/www also. The alternative is the directions in the link were you can edit the public_html in your home wiht out issues. [11:01] jigp, i would suggest learning how to do root type tasks from the CLI. Much safer [11:01] wow [11:01] i cant run swscanner..got an error=[SIOCSIWMODE] 1: Operation not permitted [11:01] jigp@jigp:~$ gksu nautilus [11:01] Initializing nautilus-share extension [11:01] ** (nautilus:10752): WARNING **: Unable to add monitor: Operation not supported [11:01] SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSNautilus-Share-Message: Called "net usershare info" but it failed: 'net usershare' returned error 255: net usershare: cannot open usershare directory /var/lib/samba/usershares.

I tried both, manual fglrx install and the repository packages. Why is agplock invalid? Wrong fglrx version?

I connect via 3G and am chatting via win xp atm. Could someone tell me what to do to restore Ubuntu 8.10? I've tried safe mode - it doesn't work. I think if I could connect via command line 3G, I could re-install evolution. I don't know how to connect to my 3G via command line [11:06] Hi, Need help to build a debian/watch file please [11:08] heavy cristmas and metal new year :) [11:08] can some1 help me [11:08] i cant hear sound [11:08] on more than 1 app [11:08] Is there a specific channel for webcam help? I get poisitive input if I 'cat /dev/video0' like covering it up with my hand, and moving it around in light. but no webcam apps detect this data, some of them even crash, gstreamer-properties crash if v4l is selected, not v4l2 which says 'could not negotiate format' [11:08] Can someone please tell me what port PING uses to ping?

[11:09] amuro: how to do it [11:10] xorand, why command line? It is possible with some wvdial magic but the gui is so much easier to use :) [11:10] vishnu: do you have a shell prompt on your screen or is it completely black? [11:10] amuro: with htop? [11:10] xorand, wvdial ? [11:10] in terminal, type killall pulseaudio [11:10] i am having a shell [11:10] this method for for me [11:10] seveas: any other ideas as to how to fix that stupid networking problem?

[11:11] you said you have 2 NIC's on the machine, both with static routing, right? [11:11] I need to start 3G from command line [11:11] I usually do it from the applet [11:11] seveas: yes [11:11] amuro: i don't think this will work [11:11] Try_Hard_Go_Pro, in terminal, killall pulseaudio... does it work for u there? [11:11] amuro: i think [11:11] it will stop every sound [11:11] Try_Hard_Go_Pro, try it, it works on my desktop and laptop [11:11] why should [11:11] i tyupe it [11:11] or, how do I startup my missing toolbars? [11:12] hashbrowns, try with 1 nic first. Your router may be throwing a fit or there may be a routing issue somewhere [11:12] amuro: ok [11:12] i'll try [11:12] Try_Hard_Go_Pro, after killall, restart your appc [11:12] apps [11:12] ok [11:12] with which command can i make an initrd image? ty [11:13] nope [11:13] amuroray, testing [11:13] still cant have sound [11:13] on more than [11:13] 1 app [11:13] seveas: what, just unplug one of them? [11:14] then try goto preference | sound [11:14] I just want to forward incoming connections on a specific port to 192.168.192.128, 15 minutes googling and I am no closer to my goal [11:14] choose alsa for all options [11:14] hashbrowns, yeah [11:14] i tried [11:14] vishnu: did that work for you? [11:14] Linuxer, http://www.faqs.org/docs/evms/x3834.html === chaky_ is now known as chaky [11:15] sevea: nope, still no go. [11:15] amuro: any other ideas [11:15] mib_ayo4f8, dident find any iptables tutorials/examples? or Firestarter/guarddog guides? Or what were you googling for exactly? [11:15] ubuntu8.10 is broken after upgradation [11:15] I do not understand the iptables examples [11:16] Try_Hard_Go_Pro, those methods work for me [11:16] :( [11:16] can anyone help me please [11:16] maybe iptables-control ? seems handy for quick port forwarding between pc's. [11:16] Try_Hard_Go_Pro, which apps r u running? [11:16] rithmbox and skype [11:16] but i haven't restarted skype [11:16] should i? [11:17] yes [11:17] mib_ayo4f8, i guess one starts with some iptables tutorials then? or checks for some front end. I was thinking firestarter made it easy. But ive not uised the stuff in 2+ years. [11:17] w8 [11:17] restarts them all [11:17] Try_Hard_Go_Pro, killall pulseaudio works for me [11:17] I do not have a gui [11:17] nope [11:17] I do not have iptables-control [11:17] the problem still exist [11:17] exists* [11:17] Try_Hard_Go_Pro, u need to restarts all apps [11:18] ctrl+alt+backspace [11:18] :D [11:18] no haha [11:18] seveas: any other ideas? [11:18] After a clean installation of hardy it took about 20MB of RAM according htop. Intrepid takes around 100MB of RAM. What is the difference here? What does the 2.6.27 kernel do so htop says it's using 100MB of RAM? [11:18] i'm llazy [11:18] hello am I correct? ssh jigpe@ip.com? [11:18] its not working [11:18] well i restarted everything without the chat [11:18] :D [11:19] Blinkiz, you mean a minimal install without a windows manager ? [11:19] brb [11:19] jigp, can you ping ip.com ? [11:19] joaopinto, yeah, forgot to write that [11:20] joaopinto yeah and it works [11:20] what is the default network configuration application with ubuntu [11:20] could someone give me the iptables string to forward port 3389 to 192.168.192.128? [11:20] hi [11:20] hiii [11:20] !apt get update [11:20] Sorry, I don't know anything about apt get update [11:20] Blinkiz, is not about the kernel, most likely about some default service that is beeing installed on the newer version [11:21] what does apt get update acutall get? [11:21] !apt-get update [11:21] Sorry, I don't know anything about apt-get update [11:21] whats the path to what it gets [11:21] Try_Hard_Go_Pro, there? [11:21] ciao [11:21] seveas: you know, after having to fight with ubuntu for several days now i'm probably going to have to fight with it more when installing the restricted drivers [11:21] Try_Hard_Go_Pro, did u fix your sound problem?

I'm #ubuntu's favorite infobot, you can search my brain yourself at http://ubottu.com/factoids.cgi - Usage info: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBots [11:22] mib_ayo4f8, //sbin/iptables -A FORWARD -p tcp -i eth0 -d 192.168.192.168 --dport 3389 -j ACCEPT [11:22] joaopinto, I think you are wrong there. I don't believe ubuntu server them want to jump from 20MB to 100MB. That's a big difference... [11:22] them = team [11:22] Assuming your forwarding on eth0. [11:23] you are a gentleman and a scholar === ccnix is now known as cn-shn [11:23] when ubuntu port openoffice 3 in its repository? [11:23] is nm-applet or network-manager the default application with ubuntu for managing networks [11:23] Blinkiz, that would be a "regular" behavior if the package selection was changed, the same change at the kernel level, would be insane :) [11:24] I can't get my networking on ubuntu to work correctly. I can connect to my router and everything on my LAN but I cannot get to websites on the internet (google.com, yahoo.com, etc). Do you guys have any ideas about how to fix this? [11:24] !index files [11:24] Sorry, I don't know anything about index files [11:24] Blinkiz, and it is very unlikely that you had a 20MB mem usage, just the plain kernel usually uses more than that [11:25] hashbrowns, basic trouble shooting.. Can you ping the router, can you ping a web site based on its ip, but not its name? tell the channel the results of those 2 tests [11:25] joaopinto, nope, in fact, am having 14MB usage on hardy server [11:25] do I need to restart anything for it to take effect? [11:26] dr_willis: I can ping the router, but no websites [11:26] hashbrowns, ping google.com vs ping 74.125.45.100 If the first fails and the 2nd works.. = dns issues Most likely [11:26] you may have to restart ip tables, sudo service iptables restart === jigp is now known as jigpe1 [11:26] Humm, nm that. [11:26] no service iptables. [11:26] can someone please help me apt-get wicd [11:27] has anyone tried installing skype with wine?

[11:45] benben, i think i will just file a bug in launchpad. the account works now (it started asking me for a password, didnt work before) so i dont have to change anything but can preserve this state to give a bugreport and reproduce the issue [11:46] benben, but thanks for your help :) [11:46] seria-mau: no worries [11:47] Are T-Mobile USB Mobile Internet USB sticks functional with Ubuntu ?

Check out https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Prevu for more details [11:55] hashbrowns, you might want to reconfigure the network connection, using the tool provided by ubuntu then. i think setting everything to roaming is a pretty safe allrounder, unless you have specific setups that require something else [11:55] unop_: thanks so much [11:56] i googled and know need install additional function, that is included in *addition*.iso under the vbox home directory [11:56] I am having problems with bind/dns - When I run a dig @dns_server_ip -- it works perfectly and has an identical output to the old dns server. However, there is one difference: Where the other one says: ;; Answer Section \n domain.com. 200 IN A --- This new one says 259200 instead of 200 - Does anyone know what the problem is? [11:56] but when i click on menuitem, the virtual cdrom device dont alter to the *addition*.iso [11:57] unop_: do you know what the right package name for madwifi is to pass to apt-get? [11:57] CapaH, does it do the same thing with a new domain (one you haven't dug yet) [11:57] checking [11:57] help me, gods [11:57] wat [11:58] No it does not unop [11:58] em123,wa ur problem [11:58] !info madwifi | mib_t8mn4o, [11:58] Package madwifi does not exist in intrepid [11:58] saler, [11:58] !info madwifi-tools | mib_t8mn4o, [11:58] madwifi-tools (source: madwifi-tools): tools for the Multiband Atheros Driver for WiFi.

[11:59] Is there a program for Ubuntu that detects cache files (browser caches, google earth caches, 'trash bins', windows page files)? I'd need this for backup optimization. [11:59] unop: is that number time? Because its nowhere to be found in the actual zone file [11:59] saler, do you know what's my problem? [11:59] em123,VM ,in the same computer or in other PC [11:59] I believe that it is some bind - numeric code that has a meaning, like 200 means something, and 900 means something (apparently invalid domain) - etc [12:00] saler, in the same pc [12:00] are you referring to the number in a line like this. example.com. 200 IN A w.x.y.z [12:00] ? [12:00] CapaH, ^^ [12:01] if i run another livecd that have x window, it is ok [12:01] yes unop [12:01] hi there [12:01] em123, u can acces the host file "no in the default directory " or it is not there" [12:01] instead of saying 200 it says 259200 [12:01] When I resize a window, I'd like to see the dimensions, is this possible? [12:01] can somebody help me out with some xubuntu issues? [12:01] Igramul, not one I've heard of but can't you manually exclude those directories? [12:02] ardchoille, some window managers ahve that features.. others dont.. Not sure if Metacity/gnome has or not. :P [12:02] CapaH, that's the time the lookup was cached by the server - you should notice it decrease every time you do a lookup on the domain [12:02] klopapier: the best place for that is #xubuntu [12:02] thx [12:02] :P [12:02] dr_willis: i think metacity doesn't :/ [12:02] saler, i want to access any shared file [12:02] CapaH, there's nothing unusual about that .. one of your machines probably did a lookup on the domain sometime ago and has cached the result [12:02] ardchoille, i would not be suprised at that. === andrea is now known as Guest97716 [12:02] me either [12:03] ardchoille, may be some compiz addon for it. :) Ewwww [12:03] Hi, I'm having a problem in regards to playing mp3s ripped from music CDs. I have all the codecs installed. The problem is that whenever I try to play an mp3, my music player freezes up. What can I do to fix this problem?? [12:03] benben, I could, but I would need to keep those exclusions up to date. I was looking for some program that applies rules on file names and content. [12:03] google tell me must install additional functions [12:03] unop_: dig @ns0.clickalyzer.com clickalyzer.com vs: dig @ns2.clickalyzer.com clickalyzer.com --- my registrar is complaining that ns2.clickalyzer.com is not set up properly and that I cannot set it as a primary nameserver. [12:03] but i cant install them [12:03] http://pastebin.ca/1294483 <--- zone file [12:03] dr_willis: I just got rid of compiz because it slowed the system down too much [12:04] em123, do use NAT config for ur VM [12:04] ardchoille, try replaceingmetacity with oneof the XXXbox's or some other window manager perhaps if its a MUST ahve feature [12:04] i have said, if run another livecd that have x window, i can installed additional function [12:04] dr_willis: good idea, was looking at openbox [12:05] Igramul, sounds like a real hard problem to recognise cache files. But if somehow know the file name convention for, say, firefox, you can write a small script to find it out [12:05] in fact, i am running a minimal linux livecd that have NO window, [12:05] that is differenence [12:05] Igramul, and you can assume a folder under the name of cache will be cache [12:05] CapaH, is this the zone file you created on ns2 itself ?? or was it updated on ns2 by a zone transfer? [12:05] saler, i have use nat config === kalel_ is now known as Kal-El [12:06] unop: I created the file [12:06] .... a zone transfer sounds interesting - can I tell one server to copy a zone from another? if so how [12:07] I have a working dns server and I am changing dedicated server providers [12:07] does the additional function ISO cant been load without a X window environment? [12:07] does the additional function ISO cant been loaded without a X window environment? GODS, help me [12:08] em123,the share problme between windows and VM machaine it known problem and mic not fixed try to cheat ,share folder from win and try to access the file from linux [12:08] CapaH, a zone transfer happens between DNS servers in the same domain i.e. when a primary updates a secondary, etc [12:08] em123, last i looked the virtualbox guest addations - were avilable in a ubuntu package.. and yes you can install them from a terminal I belive.. [12:08] em123: could you please rephrase your question? [12:08] unop: I see - nothing like that. I just basically created a new zone file, and set up bind on the new dedicated server [12:09] em123, there alsy may be premade virtualbox ' images' of ubuntu out on the net that include such tweaks [12:09] wait 20 mintutes, thanks [12:10] When I insert an audio CD of mine and try to open it with Rubyripper it says "no disk found", when I try to open it with Nautilus it gives me "Unable to mount location...Can't mount file" [12:10] CapaH, wait, ns0 lists your domain alright but ns2 doesn't - why is that? did you create a separate zonefile for ns0 ?? [12:10] IchigoMorino, you dont mount audio cd's [12:11] unop: they have a separate zonefile [12:11] hi [12:11] IchigoMorino, i do recall some extas/extensions that made an audio cd appear to the file manager as a disk full of .wav and .mp3 and .flac files.. [12:11] imaninalla [12:11] dr_willis: You might be thinking of Konqueror. [12:11] dr_willis: But what really baffles me is why Rubyripper says there is no CD. [12:11] IchigoMorino, i think i saw a similer thing for gnome.. but its been ages [12:12] CapaH, that's odd - usually you only update a zone file on the primary server - and it updates every other DNS server for that domain (via a zone Xfer) [12:12] IchigoMorino, i would guess its looking at the wrong /dev/XXXXX entry [12:12] Anybody here who can help out with an Xorg problem going from Hardy to Intrepid? [12:13] dr_willis: I have it set to /dev/cdrom, and it is telling me there is no CD in /dev/scd0, I assume those are the same device? [12:13] CapaH, regardless - the fact that ns2 now doesn't return anything for your domain indicates that there's an error somewhere (probably within the zone file you created on it) [12:13] IchigoMorino, /dev/cdrom is a LINK to some other /dev/ entry.. that may be incorrect. [12:13] unop: It does for me. Does it for you? dig @ns2.clickalyzer.com clickalyzer.com [12:13] hi can I install in text mode using live CD ? [12:13] CapaH, that doesn't return anything for me [12:13] ... really [12:14] kromium, i do not think so [12:14] unop: Can you ping ns2.clickalyzer.com ? can you telnet to ns2.clickalyzer.com on port 53 ? [12:14] my systems is not able to load the graphics maybe a display driver problem, any workaround using live cd? [12:14] dr_willis: How do I find out which device my optical drive is? [12:15] kromium, perhaps. i would check the forums for your specifi machine and kernel options. [12:15] pl [12:15] ok [12:15] IchigoMorino, carelfully examine dmesg command output is one way.. Or pop in a data disk and see what gets mounted where, (or dmesg command again) [12:15] CapaH, the server is alive alright but not returning anything [12:16] CapaH, hmm [12:16] it works for me from various locations... strange [12:16] waves to dr_willis [12:16] CapaH, yea strange - this does ok tho. dig @174.129.241.124 clickalyzer.com [12:17] ah I think I know why [12:18] ... maybe I have to tell it in options to allow-query ns2 and ns3 explicitly [12:18] CapaH, hmm, now every nameserver returns the same query - no difference at all [12:18] oh [12:18] maybe there is just a time delay for propagation to occur [12:18] seems strange though [12:19] so unop, for you, ns2.clickalyzer.com ns3.clickalyzer.com are fully functioning, working nameservers right? [12:19] CapaH, yea, you'd expect that if you had zone transfers happening - but it doesn't look like you are [12:19] hello! could someone tell me an easy way to start a gnome panel applet? I've found the python executable that is The applet itself, but it won't run "normally" [12:19] CapaH, right, that's what i see now, yea [12:19] hello [12:19] hawwo [12:20] hello? [12:20] recently I've seem to have lost my wlan0 inteface - have the madwifi drivers but wlan0 isn't showing up in ifconfig or iwconfig [12:20] mib_o3fuu7, did you recently do a kernel upgrade? :) [12:20] ar5007EG NIC [12:20] unop_: unop_ i decided it wasnt necessary [12:21] this is for my frien [12:21] its for my friends computer so im trying to get through this as fast as possible because i have a lot of coding to do [12:22] mib_o3fuu7, well, did your friend do a kernel upgrade?? also, is the interface listed in ifconfig -a ? [12:22] dr_willis: The output of dmesg is huge, where do I look? [12:22] . [12:23] unop_: i was going to do a kernel upgrade but i changed my mind - ifconfig -a is only showing eth0 and lo [12:23] mib_o3fuu7, try this. sudo modprobe ath_pci [12:23] mib_o3fuu7, then check if the interface is visible? [12:24] unop_: yes its loaded [12:24] IchigoMorino: try dmesg | tail [12:24] mib_o3fuu7, looks like you don't have the module loading at boot .. make sure it has an entry in /etc/modules [12:24] Anybody knows what is the best port scanner? [12:24] unop_: bash: cd: /etc/modules: Not a directory [12:25] !best > imaginen1 [12:25] imaginen1, please see my private message [12:25] imaginen1: nmap for me [12:25] mib_o3fuu7, it's a file not a directory [12:25] IchigoMorino: my optical drive shows on the desktop under "places" [12:25] unop_: oh right, ath_pci is in it though [12:25] hi all [12:25] mrwes: Could /dev/sr0 be a valid optical drive? [12:26] mib_o3fuu7, odd, what does this give you? lsmod | grep -i ath === N is now known as Guest76902 [12:27] honda@honda-laptop:/etc$ lsmod | grep -i ath ath_pci 101024 0 wlan 207728 1 ath_pci ath_hal 192592 1 ath_pci [12:27] I've got an issue when accessing my SmartCard. Every time I read data on it, my ubuntu become very slow. Is there a special thing to configure to hurry up the data rate ? [12:27] mib_o3fuu7, hmm, everything seems alright - does the interface not come up after every boot? or was this just a one off? [12:28] unop_: unop_ every time [12:28] im going to reboot and check with ifconfig -a again [12:28] dr_willis: The drive is /dev/scd0, I am positive. But Rubyripper still says no audio CD is there. [12:28] brb [12:28] mib_o3fuu7, is there anything relating to it in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist ? [12:30] I've got an issue when accessing my SmartCard. Every time I read data on it, my ubuntu become very slow. Is there a special thing to configure to hurry up the data rate ? === Swish[\] is now known as Swish [12:31] Is there anyone here who can tell me why ns0.clickalyzer.com works as a valid nameserver for clickalyzer.com - but ns2.clickalyzer.com - for some reason - my registrar complains it is an invalid nameserver? Both appear valid/working fine to me. dig @ns2.clickalyzer.com clickalyzer.com and dig @ns0.clickalyzer.com clickalyzer.com - I do not see any reason it should fail? [12:33] hello guys.. i wonder if i can do anything about my "problem" ... well unreal tournament 2004 crashes awfully lot... SIGSEGV... i think i have latest patch and everything [12:33] i use ubuntu beta if that makes difference [12:33] how do i automatically startup an app(synergy) before logging in? [12:33] wolfeySI: you've checked the application database for wine? [12:34] Slart: it's native [12:34] wolfeySI: or it has a native linux client? [12:34] wolfeySI: oh.. sweet..I mean.. not that it's crashing.. but the native client =) [12:34] guestguestnew, does synergy have to be started as root or as your user? [12:34] Slart: i switched to beta some time ago cause my wireless is only supported .27 .. can i switch back to standard now? [12:34] Slart: yah that's why that's only game i ever paid for [12:34] and it's still worth it;) [12:34] wolfeySI: which version are you running? [12:35] unop_: either way will as long as its up right away so my other pc can connect to it [12:35] wolfeySI: =) might even buy a copy.. just en encourage them.. [12:35] Slart: says 8.10 at console, what else can i say.. it is beta i think [12:35] I've got an issue when accessing my SmartCard. Every time I read data on it, my ubuntu become very slow. Is there a special thing to configure to hurry up the data rate ? [12:36] wolfeySI: if you've done your updates and such the beta install will turn into a real install when it's available [12:36] Slart: oh ok [12:36] i update everything that's offered [12:36] guestguestnew, well, you can start it just after logging on with the session properties dialog in gnome - or you can use the /etc/rc.local script (but if synergy is to be started as a normal user you have to be careful and start it with sudo) [12:37] guestguestnew, i.e. sudo -u username /path/to/synergy [12:37] hey...there's something wrong with my nvidia driver or card.....it was working fine till now when my screen just suddenly started showing weird colors and pixels...whats wrong?? [12:37] unop_: huh? [12:37] What should I send to irc server when irc say :freenode-connect!freenode@freenode/bot/connect PRIVMSG wefefvvv :VERSION [12:37] brutus : check your cable connection [12:37] Slart: it's not that i cant play game... but it crashes once...twice an hour... i kinda suspect it crashes when i try to move when it already lags a bit... like network buffer overflow [12:37] hello. legal question: would advertising myself as an ubuntu service provider (installation, support, etc.) be a violation of the ubuntu trademark? === MenZa is now known as Phoenix_Aeris [12:38] sybux, what has the cable got to do with my display? [12:38] guestguestnew, something you didn't understand? [12:38] unop_: i did the sudo -u thing [12:38] brutus : you know, the data to the screen need to be pass throw y cable. It's not wireless from now [12:39] unop_: what command do i put on rc.local? sudo synergys or just plain synergys? [12:39] DawnLight, I don't think so, people do it all the time with other software brands [12:39] back [12:39] sybux, oh, its an HP lappie [12:39] guestguestnew, you dont need sudo in rc.local its all ran as root. [12:39] wlan0 isn't in ifconfig [12:39] so no cable [12:39] wolfeySI: I would start asking around in some unreal forums.. see if anyone else is having issues.. then you can start comparing setups etc to see if there is a common factor. Unless you get some kind of error message that points to something else than just a segfault [12:39] guestguestnew, in /etc/rc.local you would put. sudo -u username /path/to/synergy [12:39] DawnLight, just make sure to state in clear terms that you're not affiliated with Canonical [12:40] dr_willis, he has to get the process to run as another user (not root) [12:40] oops, i typed it in terminal [12:40] another legal one: would use of the ubuntu logo constitute a violation? [12:40] unop_: oops, i typed it in terminal [12:40] unop_: is that bad? [12:40] Slart: well i started now .24 kernel and i get something about ati drivers [12:40] guestguestnew, unless you want somthing ran as another user.. but Im not sure what running that command BEFOR the user is logged into X will do.. if it will even work or not. [12:40] guestguestnew, that's ok - you're testing it out [12:40] brutus: oops, so I don't know what should be wrong [12:40] hmm [12:40] ut2004 should have logs [12:40] unop_: ok i'll see if it works then [12:40] dr_willis, he wants synergy to run _before_ anyone has logged on [12:41] unop_: brb [12:41] unop_: stil can [12:41] cant get ifconfig -a to show wlan0 [12:41] DawnLight, you can put that logo on your site, just make sure you say "Ubuntu is a trademark of Canonical ec" [12:41] mib_e1hcqq, does modprobing the module bring up the interface?? [12:41] unop_, what if theres no X going at the time? will that even work.. if its to work for anyone.. why run it as a specific user? then again.. I bet the Snergy Homepage/faq has these answers and more! :) [12:41] unop_: module is already loaded [12:42] mib_e1hcqq, try unloading it and reloading it [12:42] unop_: wont let me unload it [12:42] I'm trying to play an encrypted dvd, I got all'the needed packages for it, but the players don't seem to be able to use it. Totem-xine for example asks if I need libdvdcss, although I got it installed already. Anybody got an idea why my system doesn't seem to take advantage of the packages? [12:43] dr_willis, no, that's the point - by using sudo that way, it will run as the specified user .. and if there is no X (it should fail) but then again i don't really know how synergy works [12:43] unop_, from what ive seen.used of it.. it works in a very annoying way at times :) [12:43] mib_e1hcqq, how'd you try to unload it? [12:43] unop_: rmmod ath_pci [12:44] Hi all. I have problem with Xorg. After I run xinit by root several times, X never exits and become . Why this could happen? [12:44] mib_e1hcqq, you need sudo there [12:44] fantomas: put your WM in .xinitrc and use startx [12:45] why are you running 'xinit' by root anyway? [12:45] unop_: ok i reloaded the module and its not in ifconfig -a [12:45] unop_: synergy did not start. its not listed on system monitor. i can't connect either [12:45] hi everyone, some help with latam keyboard please? [12:45] :s [12:45] mib_e1hcqq: I put twm there. I'm running: xsetroot, xterm and twm only. Repeating procedure of runnig/exisiting xinit finally randomnly puts X in such a state [12:45] guestguestnew, you may want to enable the logging features of synergy and check the logs.. and check the synergy homepage/faq - i think they mention the 'best' way to start it at boot up. [12:45] exiting* [12:45] guestguestnew, have a read here - http://synergy2.sourceforge.net/autostart.html [12:46] unop_, :) what? Documentation! :P wow. [12:46] unop_, i was just thinking that gdm needed to start the tool. === HEP is now known as HEP85 [12:46] mib_e1hcqq: I started my investigation because I'm really tired of incorrect gdm or xorg behavior: after stoppinig gdm X is still in memory [12:46] Do someone ever used OCR under Linux? I tries 3 of them and I can't get the result [12:46] Hi all friends. Can you speak turkish? I don't speak english good enough. [12:47] and my document is quite easy - it even not scanned... [12:47] guestguestnew, where exactly in /etc/rc.local did you put that line?? [12:47] !tr | NeoTr [12:47] NeoTr: Turk ubuntu kullanıcıları, Türkçe yardım ya da geyik için #ubuntu-tr hizmetinizde. [12:47] tamam hocam sağolasın, [12:47] dr_willis, maybe, maybe not - perhaps synergy doesn't like being run when the user is not actually logged on? [12:47] i dunno [12:47] How do I remove clip in Kino? I have 2 seconds of waste video on my project and I want to remove it [12:47] NeoTr, what language is that? [12:48] unop_: before exit 0 [12:48] unop_, yep. I do know that 'sshing' into the remote box and running synergy can cause issues also. :) [12:48] Hi, please help, I really need have accents on my words :P [12:48] dr_willis: how do i get gdm to start it then? [12:48] unop_, that is probably "Thanks dude" in turkish :) [12:48] turkish [12:49] guestguestnew, that url that unop_ posted.. has info on that topic. I would suggest carefull reading of it and the synergy docs.. it can be a rather complex program to setup [12:49] guestguestnew, try changing the line to. { sudo -u username /path/to/synergy; } > /tmp/synergy.log 2>&1 ; [12:49] guestguestnew, that way you can read the log file to see if the command has failed somehow [12:49] guestguestnew, synergy also has some command line options that MAY be needed to get the loggs shown like unop_ is suggesting.. [12:49] allsystemsarego: http://www.ubuntu.com/aboutus/trademarkpolicy mentions "# [12:49] there is no commercial intent behind the use [12:49] bad paste... [12:50] is there a repo which has the 2.5.3 version of pidgin already? [12:50] unop_: ok i think i made a mistake though. do i need the actual path? i just typed the command? [12:50] guestguestnew, http://rackerhacker.com/2008/07/30/automatically-starting-synergy-in-gdm-in-ubuntufedora/ also looks neat.. [12:50] unop_: what should i do? [12:50] dr_willis: i'll check it out [12:51] guestguestnew, errm, well, might be better to use the whole path if synergy is not in the standard PATH (as far as /etc/rc.local is concerned) [12:51] guestguestnew, some of these sites are for running synergyc at startup.. some are for synergys [12:51] mib_e1hcqq, did you use sudo with rmmod there? [12:52] unop_: yes [12:52] mib_e1hcqq, did the module unload? [12:53] dr_willis: i can't find any with synergys? [12:53] unop_: it unloaded and reloaded [12:53] guestguestnew, synergys -f --config synergy.conf # from http://synergy2.sourceforge.net/running.html / starting the server [12:54] mib_e1hcqq, is the interface up now? [12:54] guestguestnew, google is our friend... rember that.. :) [12:54] unop_: no [12:55] guestguestnew, guess the line in /etc/rc.local has to change to { /path/to/synergys -f --config synergy.conf; } >/tmp/synergy.log 2>&1 [12:55] dr_willis: hehehe. yeah, but all i'm finding are gdm guides. my synergy client is on kde! :( [12:55] mib_e1hcqq, hmm, odd - it came up the last time right?? [12:55] guestguestnew, you could install/use gdm.. or read the kdm configs and find similer settings/files [12:56] guestguestnew, the client does not matter - it can run on any desktop - but here you should be concerned with the server. [12:56] I'm trying to play an encrypted dvd, I got all'the needed packages for it, but the players don't seem to be able to use it. Totem-xine for example asks if I need libdvdcss, although I got it installed already. Anybody got any ideas? [12:57] unop_: it hasnt come up since I last installed my computer for my friend a month ago [12:57] he says it just disappeared [12:57] mib_e1hcqq, try rebuilding the madwifi drivers [12:57] unop_: ok i changed it. i'll try restarting again [12:57] guestguestnew, make sure you have a synergy.conf too [12:57] how the processor speed selector work ? I'm always running at 600Mhz even when I'm doing a lot of calculation (displaying a picture for exemple) [12:58] unop_: okqy [12:58] hey everyone! [12:58] this is my firts time on irc! [12:58] *first [12:59] rguimaraens: good luck [12:59] thnx sybus... [12:59] hi [12:59] unop_: i just loaded the driver with ndiswrapper - how do i get wlan0 to show up? [13:00] mib_e1hcqq, i'm not very conversant with ndiswrapper [13:00] hello [13:00] hallo . system startup links for /etc/init.d/networking exist. but the wlan doesn't work after booting. if i explicitly 'sudo /etc/init.d/networking stop' and then start (or restart), it works. why doesn't work it after booting? how can i identify the problem? [13:00] Whats the address of Kino irc? How do I connect? [13:01] unop_: still nothing dude [13:01] guestguestnew, did you make a synergy.conf file ?? [13:01] unop_: what do you mean? [13:02] mib_e1hcqq, i mean i don't know much about ndis* [13:02] !ndiswrapper | mib_e1hcqq [13:02] mib_e1hcqq: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [13:02] hi [13:02] hi I got the message "Could not update ICEauthority file...." what does this message mean?? [13:02] unop_: how do i uninstall my old madwifi? [13:03] mib_e1hcqq, sudo aptitude remove madwifi-tools #? [13:03] unop_: yes i did. i am able to connect to it from the client but i have start the server from the terminal each time [13:03] unop_: i didnt install them with aptitude [13:03] hi [13:03] Hello, Is anyone here familiar with the su-to-root command?

Si vous avez besoin d'aide ou voulez discuter en francais, merci de rejoindre #ubuntu-fr [13:07] guestguestnew, yes, curly braces are part of the command - but i see an extraneous s there .. also, that's not the complete command i gave you :) [13:07] does anyone know the timeout period of su-to-root? For example, sudo times out in 15 minutes, is there a timeout period when you use su-to-root to open an application? [13:07] unop_: synergys is the command for the server to start. whats the whole command? [13:08] man, /join #ubuntu-fr [13:08] hi, im back [13:08] unop_: should i reboot now that i've reinstalled madwifi? [13:08] does the additional function ISO cant been loaded without a X window environment? GODS, help me [13:08] guestguestnew, http://synergy2.sourceforge.net/ - look under Documentation / Using Synergy / Starting the Server [13:09] does anyone know the timeout period of su-to-root? For example, sudo times out in 15 minutes, is there a timeout period when you use su-to-root to open an application? [13:09] mib_e1hcqq, you shouldn't need to - but it's probably best [13:09] hey anyone know how to turn off compiz? [13:09] unop_, is there a timeout period when using su-to-root? [13:10] <_empty> I see there is a problem with openchomr/ubuntu for hp2133, possible to say when it will be fixed? [13:10] R1_, errm i don't think so - as far as i can tell, su-to-root is only a wrapper script around su [13:10] can someone help me? i really have startup links: http://pasteall.org/3695 but it doesn't work after booting until i explicitly restart :-( [13:10] hi, is it possible to show keybord layouts on the panel? [13:12] unop_, i made a shortcut to a gnome application and in the command i started it with su-to-root to run the application as root. But it only asks me for the root password the first time run the shortcut, any time after when i want to run it again, it doesn't ask me for password anymore, just starts the app [13:12] em123, You may want to clarify the original problem and give details. I just barely rember your problem from a LONG while back. [13:12] R1_, so you want the thing to ask for a password everytime ?? [13:12] unop_, so i was wondering if there was a way to time out this command? it's not safe to let a program run as root anytime without asking for pw [13:13] do you have to have the most recent packages installed in order to upgrade to 8.10 ? [13:13] !upgrade | sadris [13:13] sadris: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes [13:13] unop_, yes i want it to ask for a password because i'm running the app as root [13:14] ardchoille: thanks [13:14] R1_, why not use su instead then?? it asks for a password everytime [13:14] how do i convert .flv files to dvd? [13:14] R1_, or sudo (with the -k option) === Mud is now known as Mud|afk [13:15] still can't get wlan0 to show up [13:15] what;s the difference between dmesg and tail -f /var/log/messages ? [13:15] ljsoftnet: ffmpeg and mencoder [13:15] unop_, i used su-to-root because i was just mimicking the command of another shortcut that was installed and ran as root. Is there another way to run gnome program from root? [13:15] R1_, actually i take back the sudo thing - don't try it [13:15] R1_, yea, there's gksu or gksudo [13:16] isn't gksu a link to gksudo ? [13:16] I'm trying to play an encrypted dvd, I got all'the needed packages for it, but the players don't seem to be able to use it. Totem-xine for example asks if I need libdvdcss, although I got it installed already. Anybody got any ideas? [13:16] mrwes, they're the same thing [13:16] unop_: still nothing [13:16] carbonic: install ubuntu-restricted-packages [13:16] already got it === Song is now known as Guest750 [13:16] doesn't help [13:17] sda1, is that hd0,0? [13:17] gksudo is a symbolic link to gksu [13:17] ahh [13:17] file $(which gksudo) [13:17] unop_, sorry my connection is messy right now, if you've said something to me i've completely missed everything [13:17] what;s the difference between dmesg and tail -f /var/log/messages ? [13:18] unop_: { sudo -u richie /usr/bin/synergys -f --config /etc/synergy.conf ; } > /tmp/synergy.log 2>&1 ; thats the whole line. i tried running the command in terminal but i had to change the synergy.conf part to /etc/synergy.conf got it wo work in terminal === odder_ is now known as odder [13:18] unop_: so thats what i put in the rc.local [13:18] omg [13:18] dr_wills, hi, my problem is that about guest additional function install. in detail, preface, im run a linux livecd that have no x window in virtualbox. because i want to access host's file from running livecd, i need installing additional function, that vbox provided, in fact that installing have this line can be run "mount -t vboxsf share /mnt/share" [13:18] R1_, yea, there's gksu or gksudo [13:18] guestguestnew, and that still doesn't work ?? [13:19] sda1, is that hd0,0? [13:19] mrwes: gksu also has a gui, try running gksu from a terminal [13:19] unop_: yeah, the line works in terminal. but not in rc.local. empty system.log too still [13:19] unop_: what should i do? [13:19] em123, the guest addations for cvirtual box must be installed for that to work.. OR if you just want to access the hosts files. theres other ways you can do that. samba, ssh, ftp. [13:20] mk324, are you the mib_* guy? [13:20] but, dr_willis, when i click vbox's menu it does not work. so i try another linux livecd that have x window, it DO works. [13:20] ardchoille: hrmm...interesting; I always run alt f2 then gksu or gksudo [13:20] unop_: yes [13:20] unop_: mib gets assigned automatically by mibbit [13:20] guestguestnew, i'm running out of ideas. change the line to { sudo -u richie /path/to/synergys -f --config /etc/synergy.conf; sleep 10; ps aux | grep -i synergy; } > /tmp/synergy.log 2>&1 # see what happens then [13:20] mrwes: that works too [13:20] whenever i have my two ethernet ports on my evga nvidai 680i sli motherboard enabled, i cant access the internet, but when only one is enabled i can access the internet. does anyone know how to configure it so that i can have both ports enabled and still be able to access the internet? [13:21] mk324, errm, try following this procedure http://madwifi-project.org/wiki/UserDocs/Distro/LinuxMint [13:21] as for how not to work, it does load the addional*.iso like in another livecd that have x. [13:21] em123, I belive you may be able to just install the .deb off the guestcd with the command line. [13:21] as for how not to work, it does NOT load the addional*.iso like in another livecd that have x. [13:22] em123, if you just need to get a few files back and forth. It may be MUCH easier to just use ssh. [13:22] Does anyone use abcde? I can't get it to rip to anything other than WAV [13:22] sda1, is that hd0,0? [13:22] kamaji: I use abcde [13:22] Hey all [13:22] I want to get TV-out working on my laptop..... should I use radeonhd or ati driver? my card is --> 01:05.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: ATI Technologies Inc Radeon XPRESS 200M 5955 (PCIE) [1002:5955] [13:23] dr_willis, i aim for make a lfs install, so the livecd is much tiny, in truth, except make and gcc, nearly nothing is left. [13:23] mrwes: how do you get it to encode? it just dies after ripping everything into a folder of wavs [13:23] 我是u76107,进来了？ === bazi is now known as blackpaw === N is now known as Guest37405 [13:23] !cn [13:23] For Ubuntu help in Chinese 您可以访问中文频道： #ubuntu-cn 或者 #ubuntu-tw 或者 #ubuntu-hk [13:23] unop_: why isnt my wlan0 comming up [13:24] kamaji: did you edit the .abcde.conf file and uncomment lameopts under the #MP3 section?

[13:25] bianjinsheng: bianjinsheng [13:25] mrwes: it's already commented out [13:25] em123, i would say check the vbox user manual ata http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads You should be able to install the addons. but Ive not got a linxu box handy to test. you may need some extra packages installed to compile them. there may be some existing ubuntu packages with them allready made up.

[13:29] hi [13:29] Nick_, wait, let me get this straight - you want to read an input file line by line and output the same line to multiple output files?? is that right? [13:29] Nick_: not really.. but if you wait a minute or two I'll see what I can do [13:29] I'm trying to play an encrypted dvd, I got all'the needed packages for it, but the players don't seem to be able to use it.

[13:56] unop_: spaces do work in ~/.bashrc for: export EDITOR=vim [13:56] ardchoille, what i mean is export EDITOR = vim #shouldn't work [13:57] unop_: nevermind, looking at three diff ~/.bashrc files [13:57] bullgard4: is that exactly what the string was? all characters correct, nothing missing? [13:57] one person managing 11 servers gets tedious [13:57] Slart: '~$ echo $USE' is exact. [13:58] bullgard4: where did you find it? some howto? [13:58] :P [13:58] ardchoille, yea, if you had spaces in the declaration - you'd get .. bash: export: `=': not a valid identifier [13:58] !svn [13:58] svn is Subversion: an open-source revision control system, which aims to be a compelling replacement for CVS. See http://subversion.tigris.org/ [13:58] Slart: http://www.gentoo.org/doc/de/gnome-config.xml [13:58] I was planning on 20 server [13:59] *s [13:59] unop_: yeah, you're right [13:59] theyll all be identical though [13:59] unop_: I wrote this .bashrc two years ago and never tested "export EDITOR = vim" to see if everything worked, which it doesn't [13:59] bullgard4, there is no common variable with the name $USE, there is $USER [13:59] unop_: I'm so glad you spoke up :) [14:00] bullgard4: no such string on that page [14:00] allquixotic you will see http://decepticon.rlogin.org/~decepticon/school/knight2e/pdf/ fill up as i complete all 1365 swf files into pdf files ... i used a bash script in cygwin to use a for loop for every swf file in the dir to open it in firefox on windows... then, i had a program called automate recognize window title, slash window title to obtain file #, and send keystrokes to print as #.pdf [14:00] Slart: There is. [14:00] guys, I know you can redirect output using the > operator. Now.. does anyone know how I can redirect output to the terminal/default display. You might wonder, "why do you want to do that!, all commands are by default directed to the terminal anyway". Yes I know.. but my requirements are different, I want to explicitly redirect output to the computer's monitor. [14:01] ardchoille, it's one mistake i made too often - shell is so different to other language in that respect - which makes sense, spaces delimit arguments. [14:01] allquixotic and then the automate program was to kill firefox, and wait for a new instance to come up... whereby the process would begin again. [14:01] who know, how many ubuntu user now [14:01] yeah [14:01] joaopinto: In http://www.gentoo.org/doc/de/gnome-config.xml there is. [14:02] bullgard4: not that I see in firefox.. find doesn't see it either.. [14:02] leon, maybe this gives you an idea - http://www.google.com/trends?q=ubuntu [14:03] good, it is diffcult to introduce ubuntu to my guys === lipsin_ is now known as lipsin [14:03] bullgard4: it mentions a USE variable.. that might be set in a make script.. but it doesn't contain the string "~$ echo $USE" [14:04] bullgard4, that is not a generic variable, it's is just some variable you use for the compilation parameters [14:04] Slart: My Firefox Search funnction does find it. Even when using 'Match case'. [14:04] it could be USE, or POTATOES, or ANYTHING_ELSE [14:04] Pokshun, use something like osd_cat (from xosd-bin) for an on screen display [14:05] bullgard4: can you take a screenshot where it's visible? [14:05] joaopinto: Ah! Thank you very much vor explaining. [14:05] bullgard4, and that variable is for a gentoo system, nothing that you should care about when using Ubuntu [14:05] wicd will import to install package? [14:05] Pokshun, echo "hello world" | osd_cat - [14:05] joaopinto: Ok. Thank you again. [14:06] i think wicd is better than NM [14:07] <_cO^^Ok_69> ceting [14:07] what video format does Brasero need to burn DVDs ? [14:08] I have the videos in mpeg4 right now [14:08] Slart: Taking a screenshot and relaying it to the public is too much effort for such a small problem. So I will refrain from it. Synchonously to our thread joaopinto has given an excellent explanation for $USE. === man is now known as aug [14:08] bullgard4: yes..

[14:37] as suggested by the message [14:37] joaopinto: Hardware drivers doesnt list anything.. tried to get something relevant by using envy but this is an intel chipset and envy is for nvidia and ati [14:38] joaopinto: I have a vid card and after installing ubuntu direct rendering says yes, but the 3d drivers are not installed. I don't think direct rendering means 3d capable === confiq is now known as confiq__ === confiq__ is now known as confiq [14:39] ardchoille, direct rendering usually implies some 3d support, it does not mean it provides the same support as the proprietary drivers [14:39] i have intel 965 and i also install xorg-video-intel.. well that's the best i could figure out .. any help?? really wanna play dota [14:39] gauravkumar, sorry, I have no experience with intel videco cards :\ [14:39] gauravkumar, run lspci, to check for your video card model [14:39] lol thanks alot joaopinto [14:39] ardchoille: any experience with intel cards?

[14:41] joaopinto: thanks for the info [14:41] bonhoffer, for the commit log? nano must be set as your editor [14:42] nickrud: when I run the Report a Problem app, it results in a message saying that the problem report is damaged and cannot be processed. Would that have anything to do with having vim set as my default editor? [14:43] nickrud, i type svn ci and i get a message in nano -- then i exit and hit continue and the svn commits [14:43] it seems like any messages should go to stdout, not nano [14:43] i have fglrx activated on intrepid, compiz works great, but 2d performance with compiz turned off is HORRIBLE, what could i do? i tried nearly everything... [14:43] joaopinto: ak, how do i get them to look like one drive? or one shared folder ? - thanks btw [14:43] bonhoffer, ah, the first I have no clue [14:43] ardchoille, I wouldn't think so, but you could always try changing it [14:44] bitsbam, there is no context of drives on linux, you make the "drive" contents availables at a specific path (mount path) [14:44] you just need to make sure such path is inside your samba/nfs/whatever your root share point [14:44] they will be seen as directories on your share, regardless of it's physical location [14:45] got it, thanks [14:45] nickrud: no change, the "Report A Problem" app always crashes when I try to use it [14:46] bonhoffer, I've been using subclipse recently, so I just did a commit from the cli: vim opened with an offer of creating my commit log [14:46] yeah -- pretty odd [14:50] I can't get sound working in guest windows XP.

[14:57] ok thx guys [14:58] joaopint, ubuntu package website [14:58] Schuenemann, there is no such package for ubuntu, probably what you are looking for is included in another package like nfs-common [14:58] Schuenemann, nfs-common [14:58] ahh...

[15:19] there is no such option on the main menu [15:19] you will need to use the vga=mode [15:19] on the boot options [15:19] kromium, resolution? it is ncurses based so will not have a live cd look to it [15:19] Thats how my alsamixer looks like: http://www.speedyshare.com/447791257.html [15:20] bazhang, I guess he is refering to the text mode resolution, aka video mode [15:20] anton, is anything muted? [15:20] FRAME BUFFER RESOLUTION :P [15:20] Not that i can see [15:20] hey guys, in gnome usb is mounted with gnome-volume-manager, how is that done in kde? [15:20] But if Card means soundcard, that isnt the right one [15:20] anton, next step is to /join #alsa and follow the steps in the topic there [15:20] ok thanks [15:20] acke_, try asking on #kubuntu :P [15:21] <_2> anyone know of a linux distro that isn't compiled against libselinux1 ? [15:21] !ot | _2 [15:21] _2: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [15:21] _2, actually you should consider asking on #Linux [15:21] hi there, im having a problem with my computer, i think i accidentally changed the /usr folder and recursive all the permissions to chmod 777. Alot of my ubuntu's features and functions are now not working, especially when i cannot mount an external HD. Is there a way to revert to the original? [15:22] <_2> joaopinto thank you. [15:22] <_2> now anyone know of one ? [15:22] bazhang: yes but this is laptop and when I start installer screen is distorted [15:22] _2, please move your question to an appropriate channel, thanks [15:22] bazhang: hence I thought changing resolution may fix this problem [15:23] <_2> joaopinto ban me! [15:23] hi there, im having a problem with my computer, i think i accidentally changed the /usr folder and recursive all the permissions to chmod 777. Alot of my ubuntu's features and functions are now not working, especially when i cannot mount an external HD. Is there a way to revert to the original? [15:24] natnayr89, you should reinstall or restore from a backup [15:24] nat2610, a recursive chmod on a system di rcan't be easily rollled back [15:24] ops, natnayr89 [15:24] joapinto: will reinstall cause me to delete my /var and /home folder? [15:24] natnayr89: i would backup /home and clone package selections then reinstall and restore backup [15:24] !clone | natnayr89 [15:24] natnayr89: To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « aptitude --disable-columns --display-format '%p' search '?installed!?automatic' > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo xargs aptitude --schedule-only install < my-packages ; sudo aptitude install » - See also !automate [15:25] natnayr89, /var yes, /home will not, if you select not to format the installation partition, or if you have created a specific part for it already [15:26] natnayr89, chmodding a system dir is always a bad thing to do :\ [15:27] hello,everybody [15:27] hello wang [15:27] natnayr89 -> so take good notes -- put it in your sysadmin notebook of lessons learned [15:28] I have just upgraded my PC with MSI ATI R4650 and my desktop looks like a crazy colorful party. What should I do? [15:28] I am a new user in ubuntu.just for four days [15:28] he / she try to set permissions so wouldn't need root to do anything , lol, epic fail [15:28] alright thanks then, i'll know now, i did that earlier by accident cause i neeeded to change my /var/www folder and accidently typed in /usr [15:28] congrats, wang [15:28] if i ever typed in the same mistake, is there a immediate way to revert? [15:28] hi, I've been experiencing problems with kmediafactory for a long time, and now I finally got around and compiled 0.5.2-4 and that version works again. The ubuntu package which does not work is 0.5.2-0. Who can be bugged to include a working version into the binary repository? [15:28] I am a student. [15:28] NicEXE: what graphic card did you have prior to the upgrade? [15:28] natnayr89, no [15:28] joaopinto: ok thanks then [15:29] great help, thanks [15:29] wang -> okay, now is a good time to do some linux tutorials [15:29] yeah [15:29] Hans-Martin, have you filed a bug report about it ?

[15:29] wang a good book is by craig sobell practical guide to ubuntu [15:30] erUSUL: I was using my internal graphics (intel GMA950 i believe) provided by my motherboard [15:30] joaopinto: others have (in May already) [15:30] joaopinto: I'd have to find the launchpad bug number [15:30] NicEXE: did you installed the ati drivers from System>Admin>Hardware drivers ? [15:31] MarcN -> look into using udev rules, look around /etc/udev/rules.d for identifying your devices [15:31] Hans-Martin, the proper way is to add the info to those bug reports, "this bug is fixed on version x.y.x", [15:31] I am trying to but it is still searching for available drivers [15:32] https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/kmediafactory/+bug/236806 already says which version fixes the problem - that was in June...

It works best over fast connections, otherwise look at !FreeNX [15:35] quit [15:35] as it tell me how to do,but I can't find where hava wrong [15:35] wang, no need; install ubuntu-restricted-extras [15:35] erUSUL, ty!

[15:52] nothing [15:52] those are not installed it hink [15:52] Diiphantom, and you installed the packages for your kernel? [15:52] the virtualbox-ose-guest-tools [15:52] yes, [15:52] Diiphantom, since amd was the first one to supply 64 enabled cpus 64bit stuff in linux is always called amd64 [15:52] Diiphantom -> you have your vista cdrom inserted? [15:52] and an iso [15:53] !who | Diiphantom [15:53] Diiphantom: As you can see, this is a large channel.

[15:54] neodemi, IS that package from our repos? [15:54] yes [15:54] Diiphantom -> when you start the VM it is like a new pc, so it has to find where to boot things from, like if you have the cdrom inserted in [15:54] neodemi, try sudo dpkg -L diveintopython [15:55] ohness, i had vmware in windows to test ubuntu, [15:55] Diiphantom, does vista allow running in a vm? iirc certain versions did not [15:55] neodemi, Synaptic can show you where everything was installed in an advanced settings tab or button [15:55] how can i extract audio from an swf video file [15:55] ohness, you have a point let me try a different version, xp :) [15:55] thanks marnold its in /usr/share/doc [15:55] bazhang -> that i dont know [15:56] is there any difference from downloading the kernel source from the repositories or directly from kernel.org? [15:56] I ve added the url "deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/openoffice-pkgs/ubuntu hardy main" to my source list, but I dont know if it is a good idea to trust a scribbler team :) [15:56] how can i include files *.h to my gcc? [15:56] SchneeSchwarz -> i believe there are, but to confirm, download both and do a diff [15:56] bazhang, ** you have a point let me try a different version, xp :) [15:56] how can i extract audio from an swf video file? [15:57] Spasysheep, please dont repeat so often [15:57] lastman, If you want opinions or want to take a poll this is the wrong place.. but I would not add other repos [15:57] hi, should I be able to mount a floppy disk when using the Ubuntu Live CD? I dont see any /dev/fd0.... only /dev/fd/ [15:57] ohness, the problem is that the versions are different. I actually asked if I could have any problems in compiling a kernel not from the repositories [15:57] !clone | natnayr89 [15:58] Schuenemann -> its always possible to have problems when compiling [15:58] do i have to install ¨virtualbox-ose-guest-source?¨ [15:58] schlort, Of course you will have troubles [15:59] bazhang, that i ment to ask you: do i have to install ¨virtualbox-ose-guest-source?¨ [15:59] why so? === chattan is now known as oneIeaf [15:59] Diiphantom, only if you run ubuntu as a guest os in vbox ose version AND you want to compile something for it yourself [15:59] the repositories only have 2.6.24 and kernel.org has 2.6.28 [15:59] Schuenemann -> dependent of what flags or modules you activate [15:59] jim_p, thank you! [16:00] Jack_Sparrow, you re right, but the Ubuntu team takes too long to set OpenOffice free. [16:00] Diiphantom, I recall installing the guest tools, not certain about that one but if you dont need it wont hurt to have it anyway [16:00] ohness, can't I get 2.6.28 through the reps? [16:00] Schuenemann, Compiling your own kernels is not on-topic in here.. there are channels just for that. It is best if you try to compile one and have some understanding so you can ask good - well formed questions [16:00] lastman, Then do it yourself [16:00] Schuenemann, ubuntu 8.04 has 2.6.24 and the 2.6.28 was released in XMAS! give some time to the devs, although i think we wont see it in ubuntu [16:00] done [16:00] bazhang, you mean virtualbox-ose-guest-utils? [16:01] Schuenemann, you could ofc get the 2.6.28 from intrepid, dont forget to get the libc too. [16:01] Schuenemann, is there a particular reason you want 2.6.28? [16:01] Can anyone help me out with a brasero problem? I'm trying to copy a disc, and it refuses to read at more than 2.8x [16:01] jim_p, no, just to compile my first one [16:02] Diiphantom, that sounds right; from apt-cache search virtualbox that seem the most likely candidate [16:02] just check the master kernel thread on ubuntuforums [16:02] Jack_Sparrow, which channels are those? [16:02] xp worked! [16:02] :) [16:02] Schuenemann, do you use hardware that needs the 2.6.28 kernel (eg nehalem cpus and mobos)? or you want to do it for fun? [16:02] everything for the beginner there Schuenemann [16:02] good morning (or your respective time of day depending on where you are in the world) [16:02] i guess its just vista :) [16:02] jim_p, no, I just want to compile a kernel [16:02] spionlala, excuse me? [16:03] Schuenemann, ok good luck then [16:03] Schuenemann, #Kernel would be a place to try.. [16:03] Schuenemann, you can /msg ubottu irc for a link to channel lists [16:03] Schuenemann, you should check the master kernel thread on ubuntuforums [16:03] whats a small distro with gnome and compiz preinstalled? [16:03] Schuenemann, also #ubuntu-offtopic [16:03] and forget #kernel no one will help a noob in there [16:03] joejc, small as in? [16:03] bazhang -> Diiphantom confirms it, some vista version dont run in vm [16:03] fits on 2 gb [16:04] spionlala, which is why I suggested he try one first and make sure to ask good well formed questions as as not to look foolish [16:04] ok, I'll try with my current version [16:04] Schuenemann, you can always refer to the gentoo wiki for the kernel compilation [16:04] joejc, minimal install of ubuntu [16:04] Can anyone help me out with a brasero problem? I'm trying to copy a disc, and it refuses to read at more than 2.8x [16:04] joejc, other distro talk in #ubuntu-offtopic [16:04] joejc, minimal + a light enviroment (gnome-core is 0.5GB+) [16:05] hi all, if I'm getting broken packages when i do an apt-get, is there a way to clean it up? [16:05] FrancisN, can you also have a look if k3b does the same? [16:05] jim_p: I'll check, hang on [16:05] recon69, depends on what you get [16:05] FrancisN, copy? a dvd or other [16:05] Just installed ZSNES on a completely updated Ubuntu 8.10 and got this error: http://paste.ubuntu.com/93763/ [16:05] bazhang: cd, drive speed 48x [16:05] How do you install "Keyboard shortcuts", I am missing it from my System tab [16:05] someone using xmail server? [16:05] is there any note making application which is password protected [16:05] that's when I run it, of course [16:06] FrancisN -> also if they are on same controller, they will be slow [16:06] ohness: it's one drive, I'm copying to an image and then to a disk === acacio is now known as RockerUDI [16:06] and jim_p: k3b doesn't give me any options above 16x [16:06] jim_p: well, was looking at the help, there is a clean option and a purge option , whats the difference? [16:07] ChristianBill, isnt it in System > Preferences ? or in gnome-control-center [16:07] FrancisN -> i'd say just be patient, those numbers you throw around dont mean much really, cdrom are slow they have moving parts [16:07] recon69, purge = remove an app and its settings [16:07] ohness: trust me, this is slower than windows. It's taken over 20 minutes and 1 cd still isn't done === Guest15963 is now known as babynux [16:07] recon69, clean = clean the cache of downloaded packages (or semi-downloaded) [16:08] FrancisN -> okay it is up to you [16:08] jim_p: I try a clean , and the try find the package that causing the problem, thx [16:08] FrancisN, 16x for a dvd disk? [16:08] FrancisN, also look for buffer underruns [16:08] jim_p: I dunno, K3b only gives me an option up to 16x and I'm trying to read a CD, on a drive of 48x speed [16:08] I checked, DMA is enabled [16:09] I've burned images with brasero before, and it only went up to 16x burn, but that was better than 2x read === lubosz1 is now known as lubosz [16:09] [MetaCity] What is the name of the function which makes that a window snaps when I move it using Touchpad, for example when I move it next to another window?

[16:12] please ..pray for god for Gaza .. they die [16:12] FrancisN, well copper is right [16:12] FrancisN: I'm well beyond the point where I can remain polite [16:12] utter noobs get sent to channels were they not belong [16:13] *where [16:13] I'm fucking tired of getting noobs turfed over to us [16:13] dude watch your language [16:13] RogerB: watch your noobs [16:13] Can anyone tell me why Brasero is only reading my CD at 2x instead of drive-supported 48x? [16:13] and I'll watch my language [16:14] copper, well... tell them to remove pulseaudio and that alsa has no responsibility for their "situation" [16:14] jim_p: hi so could u explain !clone? its for transfering the installed packages in ubuntu over to another machine [16:14] copper: how was your holiday? :) [16:14] natnayr89: what do you need explained exactly? i'll try to a little here.... it takes 'just the name' of all the packages that are currently installed on your system. then on the target system, it marks all those same packages for installation. then you give a command that tells it to download all those packages and install them. then when it's finished, you have exactly all the same packages installed on the target system as [16:14] are installed on the originating system [16:14] natnayr89, sorry mate, i know nothing about it [16:14] jim_p: doing that 10 times a day gets old [16:15] copper, oh sorry then. i promise to keep them here and tell them to do so [16:15] as long as i am here of course [16:15] how to use rar in ubuntu [16:15] hi [16:15] hi [16:15] !rar>mankash [16:15] mankash, please see my private message [16:15] sudo apt-get install unrar [16:15] how r u [16:15] mankash, try man rar [16:16] Just remember: Ubuntu 8.10 uses Pulse Audio by default, so if a noob comes here saying his audio is broken, don't send them over to #alsa, kthxbai [16:16] mankash, sudo apt-get install unrar and open rar archives with the compression utility you are provided [16:16] copper, by DEFAULT? [16:16] hi peeps i trust a good christmas was had by all , i was wondering if its possible for me to install windows alongside an existing ubuntu 804 installation i could resize the disk with gparted then innstall windows then im kinda stuck how would i get some sort of boot menu up ? [16:16] lies [16:16] my ubuntu 8.10 had alsa as default [16:16] pffft [16:16] onetinsoldier: so how do i mark them all in aptitude in cmd line? [16:17] RogerB, i have alsa too... but i never installed pulseaudio! [16:17] RogerB: are you telling me noobs who don't know anything ran Pulse Audio by themselves? [16:17] i did [16:17] i had alsa, didn't know a thing [16:17] RogerB: if sound is set to autodetect, how would I know which is being used? [16:17] and have pulse audio with 6 channels now [16:18] Hi Im looking for a howto to install nvidia 180 drivers on intrepid... Someone got some links? Cant find any [16:18] pulseaudio is installed by default. [16:18] can you please calm down ? [16:18] natnayr89: how are you trying to go about cloning exactly? [16:18] this is not a channel for arguing over what audio subsystem is in use: if you want to argue go to #ubuntu-offtopic [16:18] rod_, what gpu are you on? [16:18] jim_p nvidia 7600go [16:18] rod_ uninstall ubuntu nvidia packages, boot into rootshel run ./nvidiainstallerblabla.sh [16:18] i was wondering if its possible for me to install windows alongside an existing ubuntu 804 installation i could resize the disk with gparted then innstall windows then im kinda stuck how would i get some sort of boot menu up ? [16:18] Can someone help me figure out why Brasero is only reading a regular cd at 1.6x? [16:18] nickrud: just don't send people over to #alsa unless Pulse Audio is completely disabled, thanks [16:18] spionlala, i would like to use a ppa [16:18] rod_ well thats not possible! [16:19] copper, a good point. Sound is black magic in linux for most of us [16:19] anders-kaseorg [16:19] rod_, do what spionlala says, but in any case i would go with the repos [16:19] what is the best computer to use ubuntu in [16:19] FrancisN: brasero doesnt compare to K3B, use that [16:19] spionlala and jim_p are you aware of the ppa of anders-kaseorg ? [16:19] copper, but also, please respect our G rated dialog [16:19] eghdagon, a non ati one :P [16:19] linny: that way round it's probably a bit difficult - it's much easier if you have an existing windows install. [16:19] rod_ oh no i wasnt [16:19] rod_, no :( [16:19] oh ok tyvm [16:19] rod_ so just at the ppa get the drivers activate in jockey? :d [16:19] +add [16:19] linny, if possible, install windows first, and then install ubuntu, and ubuntu will auto-detect the other OS and add a grub boot option for it [16:19] nickrud: please respect our time and my effing nerves [16:20] duffydack, i think he used k3b [16:20] duffydack: will try [16:20] linny, I've never done it the other way around [16:20] hi, how can i connect to a wireless network using terminal? [16:20] Hans-Martin: i realise this but i have an ubuntu installation i need to keep [16:20] oh an it will run better [16:20] Hi guys. Any ideea how can I install hp 3320 deskjet printer on ubuntu server ? [16:20] copper, I can't control where people send noobs all the time, but I can enforce language requirements [16:20] lakcaj I have and what you have to do is use Gparted LiveCD and repartition Ubuntu for XP [16:20] pikario, with encryption and the like? and dhcp? [16:20] nickrud: use /topic or the join notice, I don't know [16:20] no encryption, just dhcp and an ssid [16:21] copper, Obfuscated swearing is still swearing. we dont accept it of our users.. Please keep the room family friendly. [16:21] so 98 is not the real good tpo run it in [16:21] copper, we do need to get a better sound troubleshooting system in place. Noted [16:21] pikario, i would alter the /etc/network/interfaces and restart network [16:21] sudobash, right, but what bootloader ends up being installed? I doubt that after XP overwrites the bootloader with its own that it'll be nice and add an option for ubuntu [16:21] it is harder because you have to create your own grub menu [16:21] kids shouldnt be allowed on the internet without parental guidance anyway so who cares [16:21] linny: when you have made a suitable free partition, you will probably have success by first booting from and installing from the windows installation media, then booting with the Ubuntu CD to let it detect the situation - however I don't know how exactly you would keep your existing install intact [16:21] lakcaj after bootloader is overwritten you need Super Grub Disk [16:21] spionlala, guess i try this jockey thing.... What i did before was apt-get install nvidia-glx-180, which also takes the headers and kernel source... but modprobing nvidia fails without error... but now i see i got it working i think, bbl after x restart [16:21] spionlala: :) [16:21] you can make an image of cd/dvd in ubuntu if you right click the drive and copy disc.. [16:22] and you can install grub or lilo [16:22] jim_p, i mean how do you do it like on-the-go without editing that file? like ifconfig wlan0 or something? [16:22] nickrud: Ubuntu users make up for at least 50% of the people who come in #alsa, any maybe 95% of those really have a problem with Pulse Audio, not ALSA [16:22] sudobash, ok - it's actuall linny that's trying to accomlish this. Linny - did you see sudobash comment about "Super Grub Disk"? [16:22] and then you will have to prolly add the XP partition in /boot/grub/menu.lst [16:22] sudobash, sggr is seldom any better than using ubuntu livecd and grub-install [16:22] copper do you have a good suggestion for where to send them? I will remind people about not bugging alsa ;) [16:22] How to upgrade kernel to .27 on 8.04 except of building it from scratch? [16:22] Hi - running off of Live CD - my wireless card (Atheros 802.11) says it's supported under System -> Admin -> Hardware Drivers, but I can't get wirless connection to work. Any hints? [16:22] lakcaj: no i didnt pls explain [16:22] pikario, for this case you need to use an extra "network management layer" like network manager, wicd, wifiradar and some i cant remember [16:23] Jack_sparrow we were talking about dualbooting with XP installed first [16:23] nickrud: either #ubuntu since Ubuntu decided to force Pulse Audio onto its users, or #pulseaudio [16:23] The "sudo lshw -C network" in helkp shows the device as UNCLAIMED [16:23] tet3, does it scan the networks around it? [16:23] sudobash, YEs.. exactly [16:23] I get this error when running GNOME alsa mixer: Bad key or directory name: "/apps/gnome-alsamixer/slider_display_names/SigmaTel_STAC9750,51-Master": `,' is an invalid character in key/directory names [16:23] well i have in a dell gx260 [16:23] I just bought a domain, how can I point to my computer using www.name.com ? [16:23] thanks for your concern though... I would always use Ubuntu and not install XP first [16:23] but I do know that this method works [16:23] ciao [16:23] what do i select for in the virtualbox for sound to work for windows virtualinstall?

I'll look around the bot links and docs. And poke the sound guys to improve docs [16:23] copper, Please take it to PM or to -ops.. this is not the place to discuss it [16:23] Thank you. [16:23] Diiphantom, its some audio tick you have to put in settings of the guest os [16:23] Jack_Sparrow: I'm done. [16:24] Diiphantom: i use Pulse without any problems [16:24] No - I tried entering my mom's fully-open SSID directly, but no dice. (She lives in a rural area - no security needed.) [16:24] ty [16:24] If done correctly the Gparted / SGD method with get your dualbooted if you have installed XP..... I didn't say how easy it would be [16:24] <--- loves his pulse audio :) [16:24] duffydack, can i select it or change it while its running or have to stop it>? [16:24] only cuz it doesnt interfere with any other sounds in ubuntu, like alsa [16:24] How to upgrade kernel to .27 on 8.04 except of building it from scratch? [16:24] tet3, can you try removeing network manager and installing pulseaudio? [16:24] copper: any idea on this error? Bad key or directory name: "/apps/gnome-alsamixer/slider_display_names/SigmaTel_STAC9750,51-Master": `,' is an invalid character in key/directory names [16:24] i guess you`d have to shutdown the guest first. [16:25] sudobash, If he has XP installed and is installing ubuntu why would he need super grub repair [16:25] linny, well, it looks like you have a couple options. Make a partition for windows, install it along side ubuntu. Then you could either: (a) Use the ubuntu liveCD and run grub-install again to detect all the operating systems and create menu items, or (b) Use Super Grub Disk to do the same [16:25] duffydack, how can i see my files from ubuntu in windows? [16:25] Diiphantom, ext2fs [16:25] fantomas, by using an intrepid repo and prey to apt powers apt-get install -t intrepid something-to-install [16:25] Jack_Sparrow, he has ubuntu installed and is installing XP [16:25] or wait he has Ubuntu installed first [16:25] set a shared folder in vbox [16:25] i webrooted the hard drive an straight instaled ubutuntu [16:25] and is trying to install XP [16:25] Diiphantom: do a google search on 'ext2 IFS' [16:25] tet3, sorry my answer was nonsense [16:25] :( [16:25] im using a virtualbox to do this [16:26] so he needs to repartition prolly and have SGD handy just in case [16:26] not dualboot [16:26] tet3, give me a sec to eat and i will find you a solution [16:26] jim_p: so, there is no a kind of backports for hardy? [16:26] lakcaj, That is what I thought. and he still does not need sgr as I have seen it mess up more than I have seen it work.

[16:42] RogerB: what is the maximum intensive workload u have given? usage of swap depends on it [16:42] convert the avi to a wmv and most modern dvd players play wmv [16:43] and mpeg [16:43] RogerB: if they do that they do avi [16:43] onetinsoldier: ya i agree, but when a process has some free space in ram and even then its using swap space thats not good [16:43] more than likely [16:43] the one i have even does divx so zzzzzzz [16:43] i can't test the dvd ... it's for a friend and i don't want to "test" his present [16:43] hi all. Why can't i use my sound card if only some other open application has been using it? [16:43] hay guys [16:44] Hey. How do I indicate in a syslinux.cfg file that the boot image is on another partition? I can't find an option like the "root" option for GRUB's menu.lst [16:44] duffydack: not necessarily - avi can be anything [16:44] i just got ubuntu 8.10 [16:44] i associate avi with divx/xvid. [16:44] reehan: now that is [16:44] it's cool but the problem is Restricted drivers [16:44] theyre nothing but , what i use [16:44] daffydack: same =) but thats not its litteral meaning [16:44] roy_hobbs, root (hd0,5) like that? [16:45] Jack_Sparrow: isn't that for Menu.lst though? [16:45] cubevanbaby: oh, look at the permissions of that file. make sure that you do have write permission to it [16:45] hiçbiþey anlamadým [16:45] roy_hobbs, Sorry, thought that is where you were looking.. [16:46] onetinsoldier, argh you're right I don't apparently [16:46] jim_p, about the kernel rebuild again, my howto says I should apply some patches to the sources, but I don't have any patches from the kernel file I got. Is this a problem? [16:46] natnayr89: hello.. welcome back [16:46] how do I view other computers on my network [16:46] Jack_Sparrow: no, i'm trying to set up a boot usb with two partitions using syslinux - to piggyback onto the ubuntu live usb [16:46] cubevanbaby: ok, roger [16:46] hi, im having a problem mounting my external harddrive [16:46] weird. how do I get it.

[16:47] Schuenemann, depends on what the patches do [16:47] cubevanbaby: who is the owner of the file? show me the output of ls -l .xsession [16:47] musictoto: hi, i cant seem to mount my hard drive, its due to a security problem where the permissions in my /usr folder was recursived to be 777 [16:47] arg this problem is so annoying - my screen res cropps the bottom of the pokerroom.com java applet [16:47] jim_p, it is a generic tutorial. I mean it is possible the sources come without any patches to be applied, right? [16:48] Schuenemann -> i thought you were just doing this for fun, try it without the patches, continue compiling [16:48] musictoto: is there a way for me to temporaryly mount my HD so i can begin reinstalling ubuntu? [16:48] musictoto: kinda need to move the packages and files. [16:48] does anyone know if i can trick jre into thinking my screen res is bigger?

[17:14] !amr [17:14] Sorry, I don't know anything about amr [17:14] :( [17:14] EnMasse187: first step is to learn how to navigate your file system - learn about 5-10 commands for moving around, creating directories, deleting and permissions [17:14] bullgard4: what do you mean? if you download the source distro, then yes, but as installed on Ubuntu, no. [17:14] I have been running my machine for quite some time, and haven't rebooted it in a while. last night, i had shut down my machine for the first time. when i turn it on, it flashes that it's loading grub for a very very brief second, then reboots immediately. halp. [17:15] chturne: What is "the source distro"? [17:15] Hello everyone, I need some help. My daughters EeePC will connect to our wireless network, but has no internet access. There was access before, but it was in roaming mode and switched to a stronger network, and I pointed it back to our network. Now It doesn't connect to the internet. I can't ping out, and the DNS nameserver is pointed to my router correctly. [17:15] EnMasse187: the tutorial that onetinsoldier sent any maybe a google search like this: http://tinyurl.com/927hn6 [17:15] bullgard4: if you were to go to X.org website for instance, and download the source manually. Or do an apt-get source X [17:15] i need the command to list all partitions on a system, in terminal [17:15] thanks alot [17:16] usser: it's ok [17:16] bluefox83: fdisk -l [17:16] d [17:16] Hans-Martin: can I just move my xorg.conf and start fresh?

[17:16] EnMasse187: it's an alway evolving knowledge - you you need to know file systems first [17:16] mount should work too [17:16] i mean in windows i can go around install programs, edit regedit, fix my computer everytime windows messes up, etc basic stuff that if you use a computer yous hould know how to do [17:16] but how can i know about linux? === Mez_ is now known as Mez [17:17] n8tuser: There's nothing listed but the headings :/ [17:17] EnMasse187 97% of computer tech is efficient and effective use of Google. [17:17] wolfwalker: heh :) [17:17] wolfwalker speaks the truth [17:17] wolfwalker: >_< [17:17] XD [17:18] Shpook -> that is your clue, no route, so it can not get to wherever [17:18] google knows all [17:18] I'm having a problem with apt-get crashing. Can anyone help me out with it? [17:18] if only google was a student in my college [17:18] If I have a .zip file -- is there an explicit way to unzip the file such that the contents are unzipped with a particular owner and group? [17:18] EnMasse187: i would say that after you go through that tutorial, learn how to compile something from source code. perhaps something like ubuntu-tweak(ubuntu-tweak_0.4.4.orig.tar.gz) [17:18] EnMasse187: can you apply the same energy you did when you learned windows? You've to roll your sleeves up a try things [17:18] i'd be the smartest kid in class [17:18] siliconmeadow: i got windows when i was 2 [17:18] 2 years old [17:18] Ubuntu comes with lots of system documentation too. go to /usr/share/doc and see. [17:18] windows 95 [17:18] n8tuser: Now my next step is to figure out how to resolve it. :D [17:18] okay ill look at it [17:19] Hans-Martin: no more ideas? [17:19] Shpook -> copy one from your working clients [17:19] I have been running my machine for quite some time, and haven't rebooted it in a while. last night, i had shut down my machine for the first time. when i turn it on, it flashes that it's loading grub for a very very brief second, then reboots immediately. halp. [17:19] the best way to learn about linux is to intentionally break stuff and then try to fix it [17:19] EnMasse187: http://ubuntu-tweak.com/ ...after learning about the terminal.. compile that [17:19] in a vm of course [17:20] Tommck: not at the moment - I'd probably try to set up the system to you get more debugging output, but I have no ready-made plan for that. [17:20] Does anyone know how to pull up the nvidia xorg.conf file? I tried adding a modline for overscan which put my computer into low graphics mode. When I go to nvidia settings it says as root type nvidia-xconfig to fix problem, it doesnt. [17:20] chturne: "$ apt-get source X; E: Unable to find a source package for X." [17:20] Hans-Martin: yeah, I guess I'll do some googling to get more debug output [17:20] Hans-Martin: thanks for the help [17:20] bullgard4: I lied. Try apt-get source xorg [17:20] compile means install? [17:20] how to make postgresql not start at startup? [17:20] btw when I pull up my xorg.conf file now it's not the one I want its the one I'm running now which is low graphics [17:20] compile means compile [17:20] turn source code into binary [17:20] Tommck: you're welcome and good luck finding a fix! [17:20] bjstick: but linux to me seems such a stable system compared to windows [17:21] Can anyone tell why the command 'xinput set-int-prop "Name_Of_Mouse" "Device Enabled" 32 0' would disable the mouse pointer on one machine and not another but both machines have the same effect of "turning on" the output from /dev/input/event* ids when engaging the mouse ? [17:21] ok, i have a friend who has mounted a partition to a live cd session, how does he use the installed system to do a grub-update ? [17:21] bjstick: in windows erase system32 and all hell breaks loose [17:21] EnMasse187: actually, no. but you won't do much with a compiled program unless you do install it [17:21] hmm okay [17:21] anyone? [17:21] rm -rf / will cause some hell in linux too [17:21] so let me guess its a script/source code? [17:21] and you compile it [17:21] n8tuser: I don't have any working clients, but I'll see what I can find with google [17:21] turns it into a package? [17:21] n8tuser: Thanks :D [17:21] Tommck: when you get the grub meny, edit the bootoptions and remove quiet splash as this will give you a lot more feedback [17:21] to work with sudo commands? [17:21] not a package [17:21] is that what it is? [17:21] EnMasse187: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [17:22] packages are .deb files [17:22] EnMasse187: after compiling it, i recommand you use a package and command named 'checkinstall' to actually install it [17:22] atlef: thanks [17:22] Shpook -> those should be automatic, feed by the dhcp server [17:22] or .rpm files [17:22] etc [17:22] actually I found the xorg.conf.backup file, how do I load this back in? [17:22] Tommck: hope it gives you some more info, and good luck [17:22] i have two computers at home, one connected wireless and the other is wired. When both were wired i easily can ssh the other one using its name. Now i can't. Does anyone can tell me how can i ssh the wireless PC from the wired one? [17:23] are there any good books on learning linux? [17:23] ok, i lost power earlier and i was in the process of using tovid [17:23] is there anyway of resuming where i left off? [17:23] chturne: "/$ sudo apt-get source xorg; dpkg-source: unpacking xorg_7.3+10ubuntu10.2.tar.gz." What directory stores now the X source code? [17:23] guys one thing in terminal [17:23] n8tuser: would that make it a router issue? [17:23] can you ping the other computer by IP? [17:23] do i have to write out everysingle text? [17:23] Ivlefisto1 have a name entries in your /etc/hosts file [17:24] bullgard4: the current directory? [17:24] i mean it takes forever for me to even write out sudo apt blah blah blah [17:24] Shpook -> yeah [17:24] is there like an auto complete? [17:24] where you write a commonly used command and linux recognizes it? [17:24] use tab completion [17:24] ahh yea [17:24] Does anyone know how to get apt-get to list package dependencies? I'm trying to uninstall some packages and it's removing some things it shouldn't [17:24] i forgout about that [17:24] EnMasse187: that might depend onexactly what you mean. when you do the tutorial, it should teach you about bash command line completion [17:25] k thanks [17:25] n8tuser: i apologize, i do have a working windows machine, it's just the ubuntu machine that doesn't work [17:25] :-) [17:25] im doing the tutorial right now [17:25] cool [17:25] if someone is running a ubuntu livecd and need to make a change to grub on their regular installation, how would they go about doing that? [17:25] oh guys what are MUST have apps for linux? [17:25] i mean people said amarok/vlc [17:25] what else? [17:25] Shpook -> in windows you use route print [17:25] enmasse187: Forget amarok, go with Songbird [17:25] songbird? [17:25] yeah Songbird has really matured [17:26] it's nice [17:26] man its taking so long.. 0% [Connecting to us.archive.ubuntu.com (91.189.88.46)] [17:26] is it better than amarok? [17:26] i havent even tried amarok yet [17:26] it's a music player based on the mozilla backend [17:26] im isntalling both right now [17:26] EnMasse187: there's a ton of them... i recommend getting this util here for one --> http://www.kbrandt.com/2008/06/pygnomefind-gui-frontend-to-gnu-find.html [17:26] amarok is a close second though [17:26] if you are used to iTunes it will be more familiar [17:26] im used to winamp [17:26] :( [17:26] you might want XMMS2 then [17:26] I'm trying to run a .bin file to install a windows game (Hearts of Iron 2). After having done chmod +x to the file and tried to running it both with "sh ./" and just "./" I get a syntax error and a "cannot execute bin file". What might be the problem? [17:26] EnMasse187 http://letmegooglethatforyou.com/?q=top+10+must+have+linux+applications [17:27] Zyfo: what does --> file ...show? [17:27] n8tuser: ok good, and did you mean just copy the contents, or would it have to be from another ubuntu machine? [17:27] onetinsoldier: rld-hoi2d.bin: data [17:27] Shpook -> you can not literally copy the contents, its the context you need to copy [17:27] on that bin file, chmod +x filename.bin [17:27] Zyfo: data? [17:28] anyone here familiar with tovid? [17:28] Shpook -> those should be automatically performed by the dhclient [17:28] onetinsoldier: yes, that's what it says when I do "file rld-hoi2d.bin". Is it bad? [17:28] Zyfo: it should show like this... /usr/bin/feh: ELF 64-bit LSB executable, x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), for GNU/Linux 2.6.8, dynamically linked (uses shared libs), stripped [17:29] Zyfo -> data means it is not executable [17:29] It appears to be part of a bin/cue set disk image, not a bash-packed installer [17:29] onetinsoldier: if I do it with a simple .bin file? So what does it saying "data" mean? [17:29] Zyfo: that was from 'file /usr/bin/feh', ans an example [17:29] mount it [17:29] there's a .cue file to it aswell [17:29] (based on plugging the file name into google) [17:29] snsbnibbler [17:29] RogerB: how do I mount it? :p [17:29] Request information on flash plugin for firefox. Running Ubuntu 8.04, tried updating, etc, googled extensively, but I can't keep my browser from crashing when I play a flash video. [17:29] n8tuser: I didn't mean literally copy and paste :P well, like i said, it worked fine before i turned off roaming mode [17:29] gisomount app [17:30] Running official flash, not gnash [17:30] gmountiso [17:30] or gmount-iso apt will do it to [17:30] Shpook -> you dont want roaming mode, lest you reallly are roaming [17:30] just type mkdir something [17:30] wolfwalker did u try nspluginwrapper [17:31] n8tuser: yeah, that's why i turned it off and pointed to my connection. that was the moment i lost an internet connection. [17:31] Shpook -> configure the settings accordingly once you uncheck roaming [17:31] i think theres a bug in the sound system has a bug that makes flash crash ur firefox [17:31] Zyfo: search google on .cue file... i can't help with that really. needs something from rar or a cdrom burning util? [17:31] !nspluginwrapper [17:31] Sorry, I don't know anything about nspluginwrapper [17:31] RogerB: thanks, I'll try [17:32] Shpook -> should only be like the essid and use dhcp on that nm window [17:32] onetinsoldier: maybe, I'll tinker for a bit with gmountiso [17:32] you don't need a cue really to mount a .bin data file [17:32] Zyfo: ok, good luck [17:32] wolfwalker u on latest ubuntu? [17:32] bin2iso too [17:32] cue file just tells the loader to load .bin, zzzzzzzz [17:32] how to convert audio from flv file to mp3 via ffmpeg ?? [17:32] Ground0_ I mentioned 8.04 I thought.

[17:39] i have never gotten anything to really uninstall from wine, always manual, zzzzzz [17:39] you should be able to just run the uninstall.exe in the program directory [17:39] EnMasse187, RogerB yea i concur wine uninstaller sucks, always had to manually delete the folder and clean stuff from wine registry [17:39] based on the lack of answers here and in my google searches am i correct in assuming there is no way to simultaneously share audio input? [17:39] hello I have combined /etc/passwd and /etc/shadow using the intructions for john, however I still get "No password hashes loaded" This is on my intrepid box.

Back when i tried it, at version Gutsy Gibbon, it was still causing too much trouble and was eating away my time because i had to fix sudden problems when they appeared. I switched to Mac OS X, and got a new piece of hardware too (Mac Mini). I don't want to try it again until i'm certain it's gotten rid of all those problems and works very well on the mac mini. [17:53] it merges with dark energy [17:53] :D [17:53] 0_> [17:53] seriously? [17:53] :( [17:53] the tray? [17:53] it gets compressed in subspace...

I think there is a problem with xorg.conf because it keeps booting to either a blank black or orange screen with nothing other than a working mouse pointer. [18:06] what version is it? [18:06] How do I install Nvidia-GLX drivers [18:06] how can I tell if my usb external hard drive is detected by the bios? [18:06] I am still at a loss here. I can not get a graphical login to work (KDE or Gnome) with my Gutsy box. I have tried various nVidia drivers (nv, nvidia) and the "vesa" drivers and none seem to make a difference. I have not found any information that helps me . Anyone have any new ideas? [18:07] nvc: Is HOST-L and HOST-HOME not working ? Maybe ypu changed your HOST-key seting? [18:07] lukasz, system->admin->hardware drivers [18:07] does it include GLX? [18:07] CyberGabber: how do i check to see if it's working? [18:07] lukasz, yes, it installs the driver supplied by nvidia [18:07] thnx [18:07] I will do that and comeback and tell you how it worked [18:08] * nickrud considers hiding [18:08] xfce doesn't work, failsafe doesn't work.. :( [18:08] this is a MythTV box, so this is quite upsetting (major wife-related issue here) [18:09] nope [18:09] still no tray [18:09] what was the thing i should go to in system?

[18:11] CyberGabber: the key is default [18:11] the right ctrl key [18:11] EnMasse187, most likely, right click panel, add to panel, select notification area [18:11] k [18:11] the problem is that the whole function is unavailable [18:11] which is ODD [18:11] :S [18:11] yea [18:11] thanks [18:11] :D [18:11] <3 [18:11] EnMasse187: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.

[18:13] EnMasse187: for the 2nd one, poke around in... System --> Preferences --> Main Menu [18:13] did that [18:13] EnMasse187, on the second: open a file browser: bookmarks -> edit bookmarks [18:13] nvc: So press Right CTRLK-key AND the L at once to switch to seamless. Once in seamless-mode press right Ctrl HOME for menu... [18:14] how do i open file browser? [18:14] >_< [18:14] EnMasse187: Alt+F2... type in Nautilus [18:14] CyberGabber: yeah, not working. and the menu option to start is showing it as not available [18:14] how do you run a file browser when you don't know which one you have!

[18:15] amarok auto adds stuff to library, not cool [18:16] Ever since I upgraded to 8.10, my bandwidth has been throttled & certain sites always time out (h33t.com) it isn't a DNS issue, it isn't in my hosts file (still trying) [18:16] can someone familiar with the graphical login process help me? === tavish is now known as tavish_currently [18:16] can i use 1280*800 with the vesa driver?

[18:17] Is there a driver for DL-Max Webcam For Ubuntu? [18:17] soz [18:18] how can i get apt to stop keeping so many packages in /var/cache/apt?

[18:19] i have a desktop which has no internet connection. How can i install open-ssh on it ? I can access the internet from my laptop if any files are needed. [18:20] it was a bit of a silly move on my end. I had a gut feeling removing that line was going to break something [18:20] nvc: OK, start your Xp-guest, so that its completely running. Then choose 'devices' > 'install guest additions' [18:20] !offline | sinan [18:20] sinan: If you need to download Ubuntu packages using another machine or OS, check the desired packages in Synaptic and select File > Generate package download script. Alternatively, try http://apt.alturl.com/ (now with Intrepid support) [18:20] Pici, we could wish :( I ended up putting into a remote imap store and importing it into evolution [18:20] cubevanbaby: ok, roger. just curious, how are you getting it fixed? what line did you remove? [18:20] nickrud: yuck [18:21] onetinsoldier - usr/bin/icewm -_-'' [18:21] Pici, I use that anyway, so it was only a matter of waiting for it to upload [18:21] Ever since I upgraded to 8.10, my bandwidth has been throttled & certain sites always time out (h33t.com) it isn't a DNS issue, it isn't in my hosts file (still trying) [18:21] nvc: try install it [18:21] cubevanbaby: if you own a file or have proper permission, always make a backup copy of the file before editing it === tavish_currently is now known as online_hun_mai [18:21] CyberGabber: currently installing [18:21] as in any file [18:21] frobblert: what I've done recently at work is to add a gmail account using IMAP to outlook, copy the emails from outlook's folders to gmail IMAP folders, then add gmail w/ IMAP in new client and copy messages down [18:21] can anyone tell me how to setup deluge to download everything behind a proxy? [18:21] cubevanbaby: roger that [18:21] its impossible [18:22] onetinsoldier yeah I should have done that i don't know why i didn't was taking gambling and lost lol [18:22] thanks pici, nickrud, jtaji: thats a shame...i should have done that before leaving my job with a 100mb line [18:22] Is there a way to list all channels on this server? [18:22] er taking a gamble [18:22] frobblert, hahahahahahahaha [18:22] cubevanbaby: i've made the same mistake a few times. i think we all have, hehe.

[18:24] So if the commands shows /dev/video0 I am fine right? [18:24] hi i need a help regarding the webcam [18:27] CyberGabber: thanks again. all working now. i'll remember that for future usage. ]=> [18:27] hello all! After reading 3 different pages on how to get the java6 plugin working with firefox, I'm almost at the point where I've decided to give up. Can anyone help me troubleshoot? === Soft_Kitty is now known as Until_It_Sleeps [18:28] This is what it showed /dev/video0 [18:28] anyone have any ideas why I can't login with KDE, Gnome, Xfce or failsafe modes? [18:28] I couldn't find anything special in the bios... [18:28] all the packages are installed, however the java plugin doesn't show up in about:plugins [18:28] it seems that my xorg.conf is working fine.. [18:28] some applications (like blender) and some games does not look proper when compiz is enabled. Is that normal? Can I fix that? [18:28] it just kicks me back to the login prompt every time [18:28] the only error I get is that xrdb can't connect to display '0.0' - is there a way to find out why? [18:29] is there any way to change order of disks, because i have linux and windows install on second one, and that brings lot of troubles (grub) [18:29] does xubuntu have room [18:29] vjacobb: are you using the 64-bit userspace ubuntu architecture? or are are you running 32-bit? [18:29] kaiser10123, #xubuntu [18:29] You guys should add more mirrors for this Ubuntu 8.04 TLS [18:30] onetinsoldier: 32-bit, I'm on eeebuntu [18:30] would I be able to find my drive with Knoppix? [18:30] lukasz: you should use a torrent ;) [18:30] More mirrors to the update mirrors [18:30] It downloaded fast [18:30] hmmm not familliar with using recovery mode do I select root then I do chown user.user /home/user/.xsession? [18:31] Just upates slow [18:31] onetinsoldier: hmm, hold on, I might have gotten it working... don't know for sure yet [18:31] Okay, I still have problems with my wireless. I managed to get it to connect by re-entering the connection information, but after a reboot, I still have no connection. I really need to get the wireless set up to work with no hassle, this computer is for my 10 year old daughter [18:31] I am on Ubuntu 8.04 TLS now :D [18:32] vjacobb: i'm not sure why you'd be having a problem then. shold be as easy as installing in the sun-java6-plugin(for firefox)... and you're done. i'm using 64-bit nowadays. however, when i had 32-bit i never had an issue [18:32] My webcam is builtin :D [18:33] Ever since I upgraded to 8.10, my bandwidth has been throttled & certain sites always time out (h33t.com) it isn't a DNS issue, it isn't in my hosts file (still trying) [18:33] What happened was: roaming mode was enabled. I disabled it, and lost the connection to my wlan. I re-enabled it, and it connected, with no internet access. netstat -rn showed an empty routing table, until roaming mode was disabled. But still no connection, and the network manager won't display any networks with roaming disables. [18:34] I cannot believe after like 3 days I'm talking like this hilarious. It's almost like I might be starting to understand lol. and I have to commend you folks. I don't know many people who are basically doing tech support out of the kindness of their hearts to help on their own time. [18:34] how big in ubuntu install and is it any smaller to do xubuntu install [18:34] i wanna use ubuntu on my dell mini 9 [18:34] cubevanbaby: :-) [18:35] kaiser10123, takes about 5-6gb [18:35] kaiser10123, xubuntu takes maybe 3gb === Tabs is now known as tavish [18:35] kaiser10123: http://www.ubuntumini.com/ [18:35] I dunno why on my old laptop Webcam used to crash heh [18:36] I use Ubuntu Eee and it takes about 2gb [18:36] onetinsoldier well it's true! XD you guys are reaching out and helping people get started on linux and none of you have to be doing this. certainly wasn't around I don't think when my friend started using it oh gosh like a decade ago maybe more. and if so it certainly wasn't as popular or out there as it is now [18:36] Shpook: i seen that sight but i wanted to dual boot xp with ubuntu or xubuntu on a 16gb ssd [18:36] site* [18:37] I don't think it would be an issue. Just look up on dual booting windows/ubuntu [18:37] you should still have 8+ gb left [18:37] wondered how much smaller xubuntu was i have used both how big are some of the gnome libs i want to use xubuntu cause it should be faster but with a few gnome applets [18:38] i know how to dual boot my desktop has xubuntu, sabayon and vista [18:39] honestly, i'm not very happy with anything *buntu right now...I would've thought after all this time they would've fixed their wireless issues [18:39] oh oh oh ok, my apologies [18:39] cubevanbaby: i like helping, it's fun. and we need as many linux users as possible! and i think, the more people get help, the more they stick with it [18:39] I don't know honestly, I imagine it's not an extreme difference [18:40] headache [18:40] Shpook: i followed your first statement, but you lost me after that [18:40] im am interested in how big and well sabayon would be they have a new mini pc option on the live dvd havednt tried it yet [18:40] onetinsoldier: which part? :D [18:40] wanted to see how big xubuntu was then ask someone there how big there mini install option was [18:40] Ever since I upgraded to 8.10, my bandwidth has been throttled & certain sites always time out (h33t.com) it isn't a DNS issue, it isn't in my hosts file (still!) [18:41] kaiser10123: well, i'm pretty sure the mini and eee installs are roughly the same, and my eee install takes up about 2gb [18:41] Shpook: i don't think it's so much an ubuntu issue as it is manufacturers not supporting linux with proper divers. if i were you, i'd be glaring at the makers of these wireless nics, not ubuntu [18:41] what's the easiest way to format my external drive? [18:42] I have an ancient copy of Knoppix [18:42] Imaginativeone, dd [18:42] will I need something different? [18:42] Imaginativeone i use gparted to format [18:42] onetinsoldier it's totally true. I think the thing that scares people the most is that fear of lack of support. I know I was scared at first. then I found the channel. lol. and everyone is so awesome. there are so many people who want to help and offer to teach it's amazing. I did not expect after 3 days to even get as far as I am now. I thought I would be sitting here crying sucking my thumb with a broken lap [18:42] onetinsoldier: Well, yeah, I agree. the main problem is manufacturers using proprietary drivers and not releasing source. [18:42] Imaginativeone, you've probably got cfdisk on that knoppix, works fine [18:42] Shpook: although i hear that intel gives fairly decent support for their wireless, although i wouldn't know firsthand [18:43] usser: dd...that wasn't cool [18:43] Shpook, onetinsoldier intel's wifi is opensourced now and is actually usable on intrepid [18:43] Imaginativeone, what? [18:43] Imaginativeone, dd will clean it up [18:43] cubevanbaby: lol. i am happy to hear you haven't regretted taking the plunge [18:43] usser: roger... see my message above [18:43] Imaginativeone, and u can create partitions using mkfs [18:43] Ok When I type sudo and some application it works [18:43] usser: :-) [18:43] onetinsoldier: have you upgraded yet >.> [18:44] But when I type password in su says authenthication failure [18:44] how to I pause a printer? [18:44] lukasz, that's because you don't have a root password [18:44] hi [18:44] usser: good, hopefully more will jump on the bandwagon. In order for ubuntu to be used by the majority of people, and have market share, it needs to be able to "just work" [18:44] Sweet :) [18:44] some applications (like blender) and some games does not look proper when compiz is enabled. Is that normal? Can I fix that? [18:44] I have a question [18:44] The password works for sudo gedit [18:45] Hopw do I give the root a password? [18:45] lukasz, yes, that's your user password not a root password [18:45] how do I pause a printer? [18:45] aha [18:45] !rootsudo | lukasz (not recommended) [18:45] lukasz (not recommended): 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) [18:45] NicEXE, do u have an intel video card? [18:45] I get a weak signal from my router, and can connect to it in windows, but in Ubuntu it doesn't even show up. [18:45] Why can't I connect to weak signals in Ubuntu? [18:45] Right now my main issue is losing wireless after disabling roaming mode. [18:45] lukasz, and one more thing: use gksu for graphical gnome/kde apps, you can mess up perms in your home dir if you use sudo gedit [18:46] D3RGPS31: nope.. not yet. and i'm not going to upgrade to jaunty, it will be a second installation. i DID figure out my sound issue with 2.6.28. i had not put the driver in the kernel for my sound card at all. i put it in and recompiled and it worked a treat with no issue whatsoever. ;-) [18:46] is roaming mode on by default? [18:46] usser: MSI ATI R4650 (1GB) [18:46] aha So its not recommended [18:46] :D [18:46] Blair: yes it is [18:46] usser: but I was using an intel GPU (I upgrated today!) [18:46] then it doesn't really answer my question :-( [18:46] NicEXE, are u using a proprietary driver? it still has some issues [18:46] I understand now [18:47] NicEXE, ati's support is generally not very good [18:47] is there any way to undo an rm command? [18:47] Shpook: Any idea why I can't connect though? [18:47] there was only one driver available (I am on ubuntu 8.10 64-bit) [18:47] Blair: I was stating my own problem :P But I've nevr had an issue finding weak networks. [18:47] hmmm [18:47] usser: there was only one driver available (I am on ubuntu 8.10 64-bit) [18:47] NicEXE, did it prompt you to install a driver? if so then this is the one [18:48] yes [18:48] NicEXE, and its not very good :) [18:48] how do I pause a printer? [18:48] Well, I'm off to google then. [18:49] NicEXE, i'm reluctant to suggest it, but if compiz is really really important then u can try to update to latest driver from ati.com [18:49] NicEXE, it may break things though [18:49] NicEXE: how's it going? i can probably help with ati driver if you'd like... [18:50] My webcam shows me uside down :( [18:50] How can I fix that? [18:50] k so I went in chown the file back to me just in case so I went into the file using sudoedit -u .xsession.... when ever I try to type in what I want /usr/bin/icewm it just keeps saying already at oldest change (or newest change it keeps flipping back and forth if I keep typing) and nothing shows up just ~ vertically all the way down if that makes sense. Never edited a file like this in recover :-/ [18:50] *recovery [18:51] UpsideDown* [18:51] cubevanbaby: that's the vi editor [18:51] oh oh nm [18:51] nm I got it lol *feels silly and giggles* [18:51] NicEXE, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/ATI scroll down to Install from ati.com read it carefully and see if u can do it, if not dont start [18:52] hm so how do I save my changes and exit? [18:52] cubevanbaby: press escape and the :x [18:52] thanks for telling me what this is biomass when I get this back up I'm going to do a bit of research lol [18:53] "$ sudo apt-get source xorg" produced the directory /xor-7.3+10ubuntu10.2 having root access rights. Why does source code need root access rights? [18:53] cubevanbaby: hehe, no problem.. I struggled with vi for a long time before I understood what was going on =) [18:53] I get a weak signal from my router, and can connect to it in windows, but in Ubuntu I can't connect to it [18:53] lucasz: Is it a Logitec webcam? [18:53] cubevanbaby, if you want to use a simpler/easier editor with that, run sudo update-alternatives --config editor , and choose nano [18:53] Its a DL-Max [18:53] bullgard4, its only root owned because u ran package manager as root [18:53] would someone be able to help me with vncserver? I have it running on ubuntu but cant connect to it from my XP box. Says connect failed? [18:53] I dont think I have the right port open, but then again not even sure if a firewall is running, or the right port open? [18:53] BULLE, because you used sudo to get it [18:53] bullgard4, so it inherited permissions [18:53] bullgard4, ^^ sorry BULLE [18:54] DL-Max Asus G1S [18:54] thanks nickrud I'll keep that in mind :) I like easy way way more [18:54] Lukasz: Ok, I googled for some webcam problems some time ago. [18:54] hmm [18:54] Lukasz: And I remember that some module options could fix this. [18:54] crap!! E486 pattern not found: usr [18:54] HELLO i just upgraded from 8.04 to 8.10 and am having a problem with the sound (or lack of volume) can someone help? [18:54] oops [18:55] Lukasz: One solution involved recompiling. [18:55] hmm [18:55] usser: But I would not have got the source code package without running the sudo prefix. [18:55] How do I do that ? [18:55] can I format ext3 from a mac? [18:55] Lukasz: But if you Google for Asus+webcam+module+parameters, you might find some usefull info. [18:55] bullgard4, false [18:55] Lukasz: Unfortunately I no longer have the direct link. [18:55] hmm [18:55] NicEXE: how's it going? i can probably help with ati driver if you'd like... you don't need any help? sniff sniff [18:55] bullgard4, for source anyway :) [18:55] Hi - My wife gave me a all-in-one Canon printer for Christmas - Is there somewhere I can go to see if it is supported by Cups for Ubunbtu ? ? Running Ibex 8.10. [18:56] bullgard4, you can download source as regular user [18:56] ls [18:56] err [18:56] Hi [18:56] !printer [18:56] Printing in Ubuntu is done with cups. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Printers - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsPrinters - http://linuxprinting.org - Printer sharing: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NetworkPrintingFromWindows [18:56] hmmmm is ther a way to simply recover the file. I sense what I'm doing is not working. I assume when it highlights everything in red with a big E it means error you break things bad bad end user [18:57] Lukasz: Googling for ubuntu+webcam+upside+down already gave me a linkt that might be usefull: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=724486 [18:57] nite_johnboy, linuxprinting.org [18:57] HELLO i just upgraded from 8.04 to 8.10 and am having a problem with the sound (or lack of volume) can someone help? [18:57] nickrud: '$ apt-get source xorg' did not download any package. [18:57] how can I disable, that I'm always asked for my password, when I want to do sth. - it's almost as annoying as under vista... [18:57] onetinsoldier: I prefer open source drivers [18:57] usser: '$ apt-get source xorg' did not download any package. [18:58] me: I have Ubuntu running on a Mac, and yes, then you can. :) [18:58] NicEXE: ok, roger that. :-) [18:58] bullgard4, it's downloading something here [18:58] nickrud: Hm. [18:58] me: I guess OSX and OS9 will not be able to format ext3. [18:58] bullgard4, works here, probably because you have the source u downloaded earlier in the same directory? [18:58] usser; Thank you - I had also forgot about the " ! " to ask ubottu - as well. [18:59] usser: Let me check.

[19:10] cubevanbaby: ignore the instructions in here about running the 'Xorg -configure' command. other than ignoring that, follow the instructions and it should create a fresh new .xsession file for you. after it has been created, then there should be no problem with you adding your 'feh' command to it [19:11] test [19:11] cubevanbaby: 1) determine what display_manager you use with --> cat /etc/X11/default-display-manager 2) log out of x-windows 3) Ctrl+Alt+F1 4) login to the console termminal 4) sudo invoke-rc.d stop (for example --> invoke-rc.d gdm stop <--, this shuts down x-windows completely) 5) sudo Xorg -configure (this command should create a full xorg.conf.new file in the root users home directory) [19:11] How to make an user for vsFTPd ?

[19:51] is there anyone there so kind to dedicate me 10 minutes? [19:51] Draco1: there? where? [19:51] pikario: it would shut down the whole computer immediately [19:51] or would it just start discharging the battery? [19:51] Xorg is constanly using >30% CPU on my asus Eee (1.6ghz Atom)...

[19:52] How can I install man-pages for standard C library functions (i.e. open or printf)? [19:53] onetinsoldier ok cool. so do I just boot up normally or do I need to do all that in recovery? [19:53] Igramul: apt-get install manpages-dev I think [19:53] i'm sure just unplugging the computer would be the fastest way to shut down the computer [19:53] if you told us what sort of "emergency" you are talking about pikario we might have some better suggestions rather than something which could totally mess up your machine [19:53] but unfortunately i have a laptop and unplugging the computer would just discharge the battery [19:53] cubevanbaby: do this by booting up normally, or trying to anyway [19:53] Hi - how can I tell which ATI drivers I have installed? How can I update them? [19:53] cool XD [19:54] I use a 200gb hd, ubuntu 8.10 in a 8gb partition... and the rest for data. i wonder if can increase my system performace by using a pen drive to hold the O.S. instalation. Any tips ? I used 2 hard disk, one for system and other for data, but I lost one and noticed the performace loss in access to files when i use 1 hd only. [19:54] quickest way to do it safely would be to assign the power button as Shutdown in power management options [19:54] pikario -> are you spying on someone? [19:54] pikario, onmost machines you press/hold the power button for a few secs = it powers off idmeiatly [19:54] as opposed to clicking stuff...i mean [19:54] msch, that worked, thanks.

Is that possible? [19:55] Igramul: here's what id did to find the printf man page that's already installed on my system... locate printf | grep man --> /usr/share/man/man1/printf.1.gz dpkg -S /usr/share/man/man1/printf.1.gz --> coreutils: /usr/share/man/man1/printf.1.gz [19:55] as soon as pikario i will tell the sekwet [19:55] eblume: depends how you installed em [19:55] brb [19:55] ive install ubuntu in Vmware but the CD icon is showing up on the desktop, im assuming the OS is running from the iso (live CD) [19:56] Draco1, yes its possible. and works very well on my machines. I keep grub boot loader on every hd :) [19:56] how do i do a full install on vmware? [19:56] * cubevanbaby throws laptop out of her window and watches it smash into 348978923 pieces on the sidewalk below [19:56] duffydack, I didn't install them. They were there already after installation. [19:56] Igramul: you can also use a package/utility named 'apt-file' --> sudo apt-get install apt-file && sudo apt-file update [19:56] funnydude, make a virtual hd for vmware, install to it.. re boot the vm , and tell it to not mount the iso file/cd/ [19:56] cubevanbaby, I would take it from you [19:56] duffydack, fglrxinfo said that I have 2.1.8087 installed. Is that the most up-to-date? [19:56] eblume: what, the 3d ati drivers? doubtful [19:56] ok, can you explain it to me in private? this channel is too chaotic for my tastes :S [19:56] well, ive never heard of that before [19:56] how do you do that? [19:56] cubevanbaby: why 348978923 pieces ? [19:57] on ubuntu i unchecked mysql in order to start it manually, should i uncheck mysql-ndb and mysql-ndb-gm in the services? [19:57] Schuenemann :P no waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay I'm gonna get this working even if it kills me it's way too sweet a pice of hardware. so teeny tiny [19:57] duffydack, What can I say? I installed Ubuntu, went to "Hardware Drivers", clicked on ATI, clicked "enable" [19:57] actually there if one is good at mapping a keystroke to a key combo, i have the answer pikario [19:57] and then that was that. [19:57] or maybe link to the right procedure [19:57] you have to tell it to use em cuz they are proprietary [19:57] Draco1, you basically follow the !fixgrub guide and instgall to the otehr hds [19:57] AMDMutant no reason I just like mashing the number pad [19:57] gocrazynow: just mysql is enuff [19:57] onetinsoldier sadly didn't work :( [19:58] cubevanbaby, were you ilmob? [19:58] eblume: yeah thats what i mean... you installed em, they werent there before hand [19:58] sinbox yeah lol [19:58] cubevanbaby, =] [19:58] duffydack, Ok. How can I make sure they are up to date? [19:58] eblume: they dont get updated very often, if at all...dont worry about it [19:59] Schuenemann it's a vaio - pcg c1vp soooo tiny!! [19:59] is it easy to move home folder from ubuntu to to sabayon when installing sabayon? [19:59] keeping the system upto date should include those too [19:59] cubevanbaby: ok.. i don't know what you've done to breakit exactly then i guess. what happened when you did Ctrl+Alt+F1 ..? you have to tell me these kinds of things rather than just say it's still broken or doesn't work [19:59] !doesn't work [19:59] Doesn't work is a strong statement. Does it sit on the couch all day? Does it want more money? Is it on IRC all the time? Please be specific! Examples of what doesn't work tend to help too. [19:59] duffudack: i'm new on linux, and don't know what the this services is. is it ok to uninstall it? will my database run normally without it? [19:59] sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade [19:59] Dr_Willis_AAO, I already read that page I think, and I can't figure out exactly what procedure to use, of all the one listed ... [19:59] duffydack, I'm trying to get World of Warcraft installed using wine, and the How-To I'm working on now says that to fix the graphics issue I might be seeing now I need to update or re-install my graphics drivers [20:00] Anyone here that could unban me from openSuse? [20:00] onetinsoldier sorry lol hitting ctrl+alt+f1 didn't work in recovery so I hit exit and booted normally [20:00] untick mysql service and it wont start at bootup.. the other mysql services wont start either [20:00] cubevanbaby: ok, and? [20:00] OHH wait [20:00] hold on I fail [20:00] if you need mysql all the time then leave it.. else just sudo /etc/init.d/mysql start when you need [20:01] onetinsoldier well when I tried to log in it kept looping [20:01] screen goes blak and then back to the login screen [20:01] It seems impossible to get wireless working with Ubuntu fro me. DOES THE ISO_IMAGE COME WITH NDISWRAPPER? [20:01] cubevanbaby: as i said.. start at Step #3 [20:01] ah, kabny, nope. [20:01] Draco1, basicially you install grub, to the other hd.. nothing real fancy. GRUB is worth reading the homdpage/docs/guides to learn excatly how grub works in case it breaks. the command would be somthing like 'sudo grub-install /dev/sd##' I think [20:01] does sabayon autimaticly move home folder from ubuntu? [20:01] I had to do that for my laptop. Works well, but I don't recall where I downloaded it. [20:01] Could someone please enable my account Lukasz Tarkowski [20:02] eblume: i dont know about games in WINe [20:02] joejc, perhaps ask the Sabayon Channel? [20:02] cubevanbaby: step #3 is NOT logging in [20:02] On Ubuntu forums [20:02] onetinsoldier yeah I just clued in when I was at the login screen hitting crtl+alt+f1 worked and i was like oh crap that's what he meant [20:02] cubevanbaby: rofl [20:02] duffydack, Do you know about re-installing graphics drivers? Thanks for your help, btw. [20:02] hence the oops I fail hold on lol [20:02] lol I know I knoq sometimes I'm a teeny bit slow on the uptake LOL [20:03] hello all!

[20:43] what package do I need for mkinitrd? [20:43] onetinsoldier when I'm at step 8 when I type sudo invoke-rc.d it gives me a list of options and it's discription quiet, force, try anyway, disclose-deny, query, nofallback, help [20:43] ]i think i'm missing something from the sudo invoke-rc.d command [20:43] hi, I'm back! I'm still trying to install grub, but the "find etc." command returns me and Error15, I tryed both versions of the line wrote in the faq [20:43] duffydack: lots of anime :) [20:43] Schuenemann, i though it was installed by default. try the oc,mmand in a terminal see if ut suggests a package [20:43] Dr_Willis_AAO, nope. Just command not found [20:44] onetinsoldier will do just got your message [20:44] hello when I upgraded to 8.10 under wireless I can no longer reach servers on my local network. Reaching the internet works fine. The physical wired connection works but wireless does not. I am using static addresses. Anyone have any ideas? [20:44] ext3 is good in ubuntu, but , like deleting a 20gig file takes a while compared to 0sec in JFS.. im just fussy [20:44] JFS? [20:44] Dr_Willis_AAO, I'm using hardy [20:44] I used to use ReiserFS... up until all the debacle that happened [20:44] How can I search apt? [20:44] I wonder if the project is still alive [20:45] cubevanbaby: just ell me when you have rebooted [20:45] lukasz: apt-cache search package_name [20:45] thnx [20:45] Okay, minor issue here. I installed Ubuntu with Wubi, rebooted manually, let Ubuntu set itself up, rebooted back into Ubuntu (no issues, just testing), rebooted into Windows, uninstalled Wubi with "Programs and Features" (the Vista name for Add/Remove Programs), and rebooted. Ubuntu is still on the boot menu. Any way to remove it? [20:45] uses less cpu, and is best of both worlds for large/small files [20:45] Hi, why is not there the file /etc/bluetooth/hcid.conf in Ubuntu 8.10 ? [20:46] XFS is supposed to be better for large and with some tweaks ok for small too, but im used to JFS.. it`ll do me nicely [20:46] Strife89: what boot menu is this, the Windows one? [20:46] Strife89: is it the windows boot menu you are referring too ? [20:47] denny: Yes. [20:47] biomass: Yes. :) [20:47] biomass: does that still use boot.dat or whatever it's called? [20:47] onetinsoldier k k rebooted lol [20:47] denny: As far as I'm aware. That file is mentioned in msconfig.exe. === asdffdsa is now known as SanitariuM [20:48] Be right back.

[20:49] What package do I need to get mkinitrd? [20:49] biomass: ah. That sounds less simple :) [20:49] <__MAV> or maybe sh [20:49] <__MAV> or busybox [20:49] denny: hehe, well it's probably a bit safer too [20:50] Hello :) [20:50] amrik: from my personal experience, nvidia... but ATI should be getting better drivers soon, after they opened up theri specification [20:50] How can i run root shell or whatever it is...

So, need to manuaklly create partition. Should I use primary or logical, and what file system? [20:50] Is there a way I can copy the GRUB config file to an USB while being in WIN98? === MenZa_ is now known as Phoenix_Aeris [20:50] restartme: sudo su [20:51] tet3: logical and ext3 [20:51] faisal_d, oh ok. i've owned an nvidia card for a while and the linux support was decent. i am deciding between the 4850 and the 9800 gtx+ right now and the price and performance for both cards is roughly the same. looks like linux support is the deciding factor :) [20:51] onetinsoldier when I go to ctrl+alt+f1 i get my user name login: do i simply type sudo -i login here?? [20:51] Getting a segmentation fault when trying to initialize aticonfig for the first time (aticonfig --initial)... my xorg.conf is generic atm with "Configured Device"/etc... can't enable compiz... tried removing/reinstalling the associated fglrx packages to no avail...

I changed my mind away from many advanced cards for fear they won't work quite well with linux [20:52] but that's changing now... ati is big on going open source, and nvidia has decent support [20:52] faisal_d, i know but i would liek to play games also; thats why i have a dualboot still [20:52] <__MAV> what is maybe_break in init script ? [20:52] onetinsoldier ok now do I hit enter? [20:52] cubevanbaby: after you type that command, login to your root user by entering your password [20:52] <__MAV> how can I break on a certain stage of init [20:52] <__MAV> ?

The shares show up fine through XBMC or Boxee or Mythtv but not in Places>network [20:54] md22 : Most people suggest to use about 150% the size of your physical RAM for swap [20:54] <__MAV> so just leave it as-is [20:54] hi all!

[21:53] mikegriffin: hmmm, you might want to take a look at the man page for... update-rc.d [21:53] I guess a better question would be can I move /home to a new HDD if /home isn't in it's own partition?

[21:54] donalddoyle: are you running ubuntu at the moment? [21:54] DasEi: if i was using usb card reader, no issue for the MMC card [21:54] mikegriffin, ok, but how do I set up my system so I can boot with 2 HDDs? [21:54] yes i am [21:55] bonnie, eh. OK. Lemme look into that. [21:55] KillerOrca: you would need to plug in the second one [21:55] Slart yea, but gparted shows the new size [21:55] donalddoyle: ok.

[21:56] NotSure: you just run the game binary [21:56] KillerOrca: i assume you mean ide, yes it should be slave, linux will find it if it can still boot, check into gparted [21:56] dont know how [21:56] zoed [21:56] can we do a private chat or sumthing [21:56] NotSure: you've installed it, right? [21:57] NotSure: tremoulous should be completely standalone afaik, its built on quake3 [21:57] i cant read that fast [21:57] bingungaja: I#am no too familiar with that, either hal has to recognize it properly or you can add the modules - as you found their names - manunal to /etc/modules [21:57] usser: i see only 1 core at 100% with conky could i get it to use more of the others to to get it done faster [21:57] no... I downloaded it and doubleclicked it is asking what app to open with [21:57] donalddoyle, what are you using to IRC? [21:57] Slart: I'm not sure at all really. it must've installed GRUB to some degree for it to start and give that error message but I can't repair it using a LiveCD as it doesn't recognise the array [21:57] NotSure: oh.. you downloaded some kind of installer? [21:57] i have no clu ei am totaly new to this === Ash908 is now known as Ashfire908 [21:58] kaiser10123: ubuntustudio says PiTiVi, Kino, Cinepaint are included for video creation. perhaps one helps?

[21:58] Slart: no, it was created from BIOS config and then Vista is installed on it. I ran Ubuntu installer, didn't see any errors, rebooted and got the error. Now I can't get to either OS [21:58] so..... that wasn't the game? [21:59] hello room [21:59] NotSure: well.. it's an installer.. like a windows install file for a game [21:59] hello sili [21:59] kaiser10123, i see in advanced options a tick for use optimizations for multi-core cpus [21:59] NotSure: ok, the first thing you need to do it make the file executable... you've used windows before?

[22:00] i have a problem with Vino, it doesn't auto start, i have to manually start it. Any idea how to solve this? [22:00] sinan, put it in the startup program list? [22:00] well, i think you'll need the gstreamer codec pack [22:00] need a bit of help with wine, v 1.0.1, trying to run an exe and if i run it from nautilus it works fine, but if i type: wine .../file.exe in the terminal. the loading screen pops up and tells me there is an error with the stringtable at line 0. It's not the file, as it is fine from nautilus lancher, but cannot be executed manually (or from the menu shortcut i made) [22:00] KillerOrca: where would i find that? [22:00] L0neWolf: hmm I'm not really sure what to do with that.. I suppose there are stuff on the windows partition you want to keep? [22:01] mikegriffin: ok, cool [22:01] yes I have... but how to make executabe? [22:01] mikegriffin: you're welcome [22:01] sili_, what player are u using? [22:01] sinan, ummm depending on the menu it will be a variety of places, try looking under "session" [22:01] oh yeah, i forgot to ask [22:01] Slart: well it's a full install on 2x250Gb drives as a striped set. [22:01] NotSure: ok, in windows all you have to do is to change the file ending to .exe to make it executable.. linux works a little different [22:01] ok... [22:02] mplayer [22:02] Coggz, sometimes it helps running the file from within the same directory [22:02] KillerOrca: i am accessing the PC over SSH [22:02] zoed srry this is the link: [22:02] http://paste.ubuntu.com/93916/ === Ashfire is now known as Ashfire908 [22:02] Coggz, cd program ; wine filename.exe [22:02] Slart: I know, striped is pointless and I was going to get around to destroying it eventually. this may have forced my hand though and I haven't backed up Steam [22:02] sili_, try vlc\ [22:02] sili_, you can go to the mplayer website to get their codec pack [22:02] bingungaja: you can try (it's a post from feisty) : sudo modprobe tifm_7xx1, sudo modprobe tifm_core ,sudo modprobe tifm_sd [22:02] NotSure: there is a terminal command called chmod that can do this.. so open a terminal and type chmod a+x tremulous-1 [22:02] sinan, a bit trickier, let me look for a second [22:02] I have a circular blue handicap logo on my panel right now. I activated it by accident by opening "on screen keyboard", when i click on this handicap logo it shows "universal access preferences" and does not give me the option to remove it.

It stays there even when i don't use the onscreen keyboard anymore [22:03] what distro is 8.10 called [22:03] thaks for help i will do just that [22:03] KillerOrca: thanks :) [22:03] gutsy? [22:03] orio: how did you compile te program? it looks like you tried to excecute it as bash? [22:03] gavi: intrepid ibex [22:03] bingungaja: if these are the correct drivers, it should work afterwards [22:03] onetinsoldier: this might be a stupid question but how do I start system-cleaner-gtk? [22:03] L0neWolf: hmm.. I've got this feeling that restoring the windows install and then rescuing what needs to be rescued might be the easiest way [22:03] gavi, intrepid [22:03] on hardy, fn+f2 displays "power information", the information about my battery. this is great, but is there a way i can tell it to use a different keystroke? [22:03] thanks [22:03] i try with: gcc teste.c -o teste [22:03] NotSure: don't forget, linux is case sensitive.. ie Tremulous isn't the same as tremulous [22:04] chmod: cannot access `tremulous-1.1.0-installer.x86.run': No such file or directory [22:04] harry@harry-desktop:~$ [22:04] Lasivian: i've never installed or used it. i just knew about it... but have you tried on the command line? [22:04] NotSure: ok.. where did you save the file? [22:04] usser: that has done the trick, but as for menu command, should i make a shell script to launch it? or what? [22:04] Slart: I tried booting using the Windows install DVD to do a startup repair but it says it found no errors. I set the RAID as the active partition, rebooted and got the GRUB problem again. [22:04] ugh. nobody? [22:04] Coggz, thats what i usually do, make a shell script that cds to the directory and runs wine [22:04] desktop [22:04] I have a circular blue handicap logo on my panel right now. I activated it by accident by opening "on screen keyboard", when i click on this handicap logo it shows "universal access preferences" and does not give me the option to remove it. Is there anyway to kill it without restarting ? It stays there even when i don't use the onscreen keyboard anymore [22:04] onetinsoldier: not sure what to even [22:05] Lasivian: if your having trouble finding the command that starts it, try this to find it --> dpkg -L system-cleaner-gtk | grep bin [22:05] "man" for [22:05] ahh, thanks [22:05] usser: that miht be better, as i can tell it to disable compiz too, [22:05] NotSure: ok.. then you first have to run "cd Desktop" before you can run the chmod command.. note the capital D [22:05] whats the matter CheesyWeasel? [22:05] so im try with other program Anjuta the error is same. [22:05] Lasivian: you're welcome [22:05] is 8.04 also intrepid? [22:05] gavi: 8.04 is hardy heron [22:05] usser: can i make a script that executes when the app closes? ass in when the command terminates, it does this and that [22:06] L0neWolf: hmm.. perhaps there is a windows channel that can help you restoring your windows install? it's been a couple of years since I did that kind of stuff [22:06] Coggz, not sure what u mean? [22:06] L0neWolf, thanks [22:06] gavi: 8.04 = hardy heron, 8.10 = ibex-intrepid [22:06] can anyone explain how to fix avant window nav. [22:06] Coggz, which app? [22:06] cmv583: I didn't know it was broken [22:06] Is anyone here from the Ubuntu Documentation team that might join me on Ubuntu-doc for consultation? [22:06] bingungaja: do these drivers work ? [22:06] stompr: i'm trying to change a keystroke shortcut for displaying my power information. when i press fn+f2. it displays how much battery life i have left. but fn+f2 is also my mute key and whenever i press it, i have to go up there and physically exit out of the little bubble. [22:06] So I think some of my PCSX config files are missing. I tried reinstalling, but no luck [22:06] hey [22:06] orio: with me, "gcc test.c -o filenameofoutputfile" works fine. [22:07] Coggz, command1 && command2 [22:07] soreau: won't load for me. tried remove and re-install but nothin [22:07] didnt do anything [22:07] usser: it is a game, it doesn't like compiz fuzion, so i manually turn it off. in a launcher script, i can disable compiz before launching, but is there a way of executing a script once the command ends? [22:07] sinan, okay the way to find the path to an application is "which *application" in a terminal, now to find what file to add the application path to [22:07] is there any way i can check my current sources to what i have instaled [22:07] Slart: I had a sort of idea but don't know if there's a way to do it. it must've installed GRUB at least partially somewhere but I can't locate it. is there a way I can install to a 3rd HD to get Ubuntu running? [22:07] NotSure: it won't print anything if it's succesful [22:07] i think i set up compromised sources ubuntu 8 [22:07] hooo,, ? i dont now wath is the problem... [22:07] PCSX will still not allow me to configure the graphics, or run an iso [22:07] ok... whats next? [22:07] cmv583: Do you get any interesting output when running it from a terminal? Are you using a compositing WM? [22:07] Coggz, oh u mean once you close the game you want compiz to be turned on? [22:07] patb: you just wabt to know the name of all the packages you have installed? [22:07] !alsa [22:07] 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 [22:07] soreau: never tried in terminal. [22:07] usser: ya, that kind of thing [22:08] Coggz, sure just a line that enables compiz after your wine call [22:08] i updated the packages from the compromised sources [22:08] oh, that would do it? [22:08] NotSure: ok, now, in the same terminal type this "./tremulous-blablabla" of course change the blablabla according to teh filename of the file [22:08] simple! [22:08] usser: thanks [22:08] NotSure: that should start the file [22:08] is there any way to check from online sources to the packages i have installed [22:08] what package do I need for alsaconf? [22:08] Coggz, the way shells work is they dont return automatically until the command you gave stops, so once wine stops the shell script will continue executing [22:08] but tanks zoed.. [22:08] soreau: don't know how [22:08] !find alsaconf [22:08] File alsaconf found in vim-runtime [22:08] for try help me.. [22:09] vim-runtime? [22:09] patb: what do you mean ? [22:09] i mean my system is bugged [22:09] someone was in [22:09] Schuenemann, alsaconf no longer exists on ubuntu [22:09] usser: aha, that will be useful for my other games which need compiz disabled [22:09] now it's just to find it [22:09] biomass: he probably enabled 'proposed updates' [22:09] Slart, that would be /usr/share/vim/vim71/syntax/alsaconf.vim [22:09] Schuenemann: alsaconf might not be used anymore.. not really sure.. what are you trying to do? [22:09] sinan, so far I have found a link to autostart only for xfce via the terminal :(, hopefully it helps http://tillamookrage.blogspot.com/2007/12/autostart-programs-in-xfce-hardcore-way.html [22:09] cmv583: 1) open a terminal 2) Type avant- 3) press tab twice 4) hit enter [22:09] folks, if i install the nvidia driver rather than the restricted driver will i expirence better performance? [22:09] proposed updates bad? [22:09] Slart, unop_I compiled a kernel myself and then I have no sound... [22:10] unop_: ah.. yes.. that would explain it =) [22:10] why cant my programs make sound if flash started before they did? [22:10] patb: someone havcked your machine and you want to find out which files changed ? [22:10] yes [22:10] soreau: Error: Screen isn't composited. Please run compiz (-fusion) or another compositing manager. [22:10] meoblast001: since flash is using the soundcard (you're using onboard sound, right?) you can use pulseaudio to fix this if you want [22:10] on hardy, fn+f2 displays "power information", the information about my battery. this is great, but is there a way i can tell it to use a different keystroke? [22:10] cmv583: Do you remember the first thing I asked you? [22:11] <__MAV> How can I asily transfer bif data file between 2 ubuntu machines [22:11] Slart: actually... this never happened until i got 8.04..... how do i fix it? [22:11] NotSure: did it work? [22:11] soreau: compiz should be running on startup [22:11] <__MAV> *big data fiie [22:11] Slart: its annoyed me so much [22:11] soreau: no [22:11] please help me here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1023184 [22:11] !nfs | __MAV [22:11] __MAV: nfs is the network file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SettingUpNFSHowTo for information on installing and configuring NFS. [22:11] i just want to know how they got in [22:11] Coggz, make sure your compiz enable part is put in the background and detached from terminal otherwise your script will never terminate [22:11] meoblast001: are you using pulseaudio ? or plain alsa? [22:11] <__MAV> 1 is running livecd and oher is running ubuntu from harddrive [22:11] cmv583: Just because it should be doesn't mean it is. What happens when you set Sys>Prefs>Appearance>Visual Effects to Extra? [22:11] see if i can find logs [22:11] patb: I would assume that is possible but I don't know the right apt/dpkg commands to do it [22:11] Slart, is that fixable? [22:11] Slart: where would i go to find out [22:12] usser: hmm, how would i do that? [22:12] Coggz, and overtime as u launch games you will be left with lots of bash processing sitting in the background doing nothing [22:12] .tremulous-1.1.0-installer.x86.run??? [22:12] Coggz, nohup compiz & [22:12] Coggz, will run compiz in the background [22:12] ./tremulous-1.1.0-installer.x86.run??? [22:12] Schuenemann: I have no idea.. depends on what you did to the kernel, what kind of soundcard etc etc.. does your sound work with the normal kernel? [22:12] Coggz, that should do it [22:12] Slart, yeah === Ash908 is now known as Ashfire908 [22:12] why is xorg using all of my cpu useage? [22:12] NotSure: ./tremulous-1.1.0-installer.x86.run [22:13] Slart, don't I have to modprobe the driver? [22:13] is there any GUI program that will show package dependencies in a tree view? [22:13] yea it is starting [22:13] soreau: says they can't be enabled? never had this happen. [22:13] Lasivian Synaptic does that [22:13] Schuenemann: I'm not entirely sure what one have to do when using a self-compiled kernel.. sorry [22:13] CheesyWeasel: In Gnome yu can adde the 'Battery Charge Monitor' -panel [22:13] meoblast001: system, preferences, sound [22:14] would using devede to encode to make dvd be slower if destination is on my windows partition? [22:14] starcannon: thanks [22:14] Coggz, generally the last line in your script has to return for the shell to exit properly [22:14] usser: ok, that is great, now if i wanted to pass a value, such as the game executable (for linux binaries) to the script as an option, how would i do that. Obviously an if/else constrruct to check, but how would i grab the argument? [22:14] Slart: ALSA [22:14] meoblast001: you can change the pull-down thingies to alsa, pulseaudio and possibly a couple of other things too [22:14] No write permission to /usr/local/games [22:14] Slart: should i change that [22:14] meoblast001: ok, set it to use pulseaudio instead [22:14] cmv583: If you want to use compiz-fusion, go to #compiz-fusion to get further assistance. Otherwise, you can enable compositing for metacity, but it will not provide any effects like compiz does [22:14] Lasivian in synaptic just search for the package your interested in, then click on properties, then click on the dependencies tab [22:14] bada bing :) [22:15] Coggz, $1 is a special variable in bash it holds the first argument [22:15] Slart: now i know its not gonna be that easy... what do i do to apply that [22:15] Coggz, $2 $3 etc for any additional arguments [22:15] slart No write permission to /usr/local/games [22:15] meoblast001: no, it probably won't work right away.. there are some other things to do too [22:15] ok [22:15] like? [22:16] usser: right, thats great, [22:16] NotSure: ok.. try running it again.. but this time put a sudo before everything else.. so "sudo ./tremulous-1.1.0..." [22:16] if my laptop has bluetooth can i use it with my phone to transfer files to my phone, like music [22:16] Coggz, also $@ holds all arguments [22:16] patb: maybe 'debsums' [22:16] NotSure you have to run the installer for your games super user; sudo ./some_installer.bin [22:16] meoblast001: you changed them all to pulseaudio? [22:16] Slart, you know how can I find my driver name, then? [22:16] is virtualbox.org down for anyone else? [22:16] cant get back to the terminal screen... the game screen is blue with the no write per window [22:16] Slart: no.. just the one that said ALSA [22:16] Schuenemann: not really.. I've never compiled a kernel of my own.. ask the channel [22:17] Org-Mode: not loading for me [22:17] meoblast001: well.. yes.. there's one you can't change.. [22:17] Slart: sound capture.. i'll cahnge them all [22:17] Org-Mode yeah its timing out for me [22:17] zigzags, if your phone is not crippled sure [22:17] have ubuntu a reset if you have done someting wrong in instalations [22:17] hanx [22:17] thanx [22:17] meoblast001: then press ok and try restarting firefox [22:17] ok ty [22:17] zigzags, locked down by your company etc [22:17] Slart: i use epiphany cuz this computer is too slow for firefox =P [22:18] ok i vill try thanks [22:18] usser: rea my mind lol. how d i check that setting? its a brand new samsung phone [22:18] virtualbox's site has been down for at least 30 mins :( [22:18] meoblast001: ok, restart epiphany then =) [22:18] Slart: hmm wont start... time to try the terminal [22:18] zigzags, the only way to check is to actually try to transfer something, from another if u're unsure if your computer's bluetooth works [22:19] zigzags, *from another phone sorry [22:19] Org-Mode generally when a site is down I wait about 5 hours and try again, not a great answer, but sadly your stuck till they sort out their problem [22:19] Lasivian: i found the nicer looking kde util that's installable in 8.10. it's called 'kdirstat' --> sudo apt-get install kdirstart ... just to let you know [22:19] slart Do you want to install symbolic links to a directory in your path?? [22:19] Slart: guess i have to use firefox =( [22:19] NotSure: sure. [22:19] meoblast001: epiphany won't start?? [22:19] no it hangs [22:19] has anyone experienced problems with dual nics under ubuntu? whenever I have both of mine enabled, i cannot connect to the internet but i can get to my lan. [22:20] meoblast001: that's odd.. I'll give it a try here.. see if I get the same result [22:20] Slart: no it was hanging before pulseaudio [22:20] slart which component to install Base Install Dedicated Server or Surce code?? default is Base INstall [22:20] hashbrow1, you have to ensure that default gateways are configured properly [22:20] hashbrow1: I have two nics on a couple of my machines.. you just have to make sure you configure them correctly.. [22:20] onetinsoldier: thanks [22:20] hashbrow1 its been awhile but if I remember right, you have to set one to the default, in System>Administration>Network Tools (gnome) [22:20] NotSure: I would go with base install [22:20] Slart: it will probably work again sometime after a restart.... something must have messed it up === MAINFRAME_LINDEB is now known as swe [22:21] meoblast001: ok [22:21] unop_, slart: can one of you help me configure them? [22:21] CyberGabber: i wish i knew what that meant... [22:21] hashbrow1, see what starcannon just said [22:21] Lasivian: you're welcome. i really recommend checking it out, it really is very nice. it's like the free WinDirStat for windows [22:21] How do I find out if my processor is 64-bit or not? [22:21] slart Cool were gamin... Thx for the help [22:22] Slart: i just killalld pulseaudio and my stupid script wont work that i need to (requires a restart cuz it uses the screwed up idiotic kernel module) [22:22] Slart: so im gonna restart [22:22] quentusrex, dpkg --print-architecture [22:22] hashbrow1: I'm a bit busy at the moment.. but it isn't that hard.. ask the channel for help if you can't figure it out (it's not really different from using just one nic but you have to keep track of which card is used to what network) [22:22] quentusrex sudo lshw -C cpu [22:22] unop_: I'm not talking about my OS, I'm asking about my processor. [22:23] unop_: thanks though [22:23] Nova1: you're welcome.. go eat humans =) [22:23] usser: would it be my phone company(samsung) or my provier(verizon) shut down the bluetooth on my phone [22:23] starcannon: i checked there, theres no option to set one as the default. [22:23] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1023194 thats a brief rundown of my problem. anybody know what to do? [22:23] thanks starcannon that worked. [22:23] what is the best way to make sure that unused dependencies are removed when removing a program? [22:23] welcom quentusrex [22:23] hashbrow1 okies, taking a look [22:23] zigzags, provider most likely manufacturers have little incentive in releasing broken phones === Guest30236 is now known as lol [22:24] Lasivian: apt-get autoremove will remove unused stuff.. but I think just running apt-get update will warn you about it [22:24] thanks [22:24] zigzags, and verizon is known for being really anal about their phones === lol is now known as Guest10383 [22:24] it is my uncles phone i am messing with, his provider is Cincinatti Bell, would they most likely shut own the bluetooth? [22:24] CheesyWeasel: In Gnome, right-clik on menubar. Select 'Add-to-Panel', then select the 'Battery-charge-monitor' [22:24] hashbrow1 I'll brb on a machine that has 2 nics in it, I'm on my laptop atm [22:24] down** [22:24] starcannon: oaky [22:25] CyberGabber: oh. thats there. a little bubble pops up from it every time i press fn+f2 though. [22:25] Some one help me? Xorg is using my cpu usage, my cpu stays over 70% all of the time. [22:25] hashbrow1: do you have both of your NICs plugged in, or is just one of them plugged?

[22:27] i never heard of synaptic so ill need some help with that first [22:28] !synaptic | n00bf4rt [22:28] n00bf4rt: synaptic is Ubuntu's Graphical Package Manager. For a good howto see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SynapticHowto [22:28] k ty [22:28] Slart, sorry to insist: why there is no alsaconf anymore? [22:28] hashbrow1 okies, cool I'll be a minute I'm gonna look at my settings and report back for you [22:28] memphis_: oh i've been here before. i dont know where that information would be though. [22:28] bingungaja: If it's a USB card reader, then it should just work when you plug in a card to one of its slots. [22:28] ah i see [22:28] starcannon: okay. [22:28] thnx, i remember it from fedora :) ( yum ) [22:28] Schuenemann: I don't really know why they removed it.. I just remember looking for it myself some time ago when I was troubleshooting alsa.. a lot of howto's on the net mention it [22:29] hi. i like to install python 3.0 on ubuntu 8.04 hardy heron, as alternative installation to the distro python 2.5.2 installation. how can i find a py3 debian package if not in the default repositories? [22:29] could dist upgrade do ibex solve any driver problems? [22:29] memphis_: where would that information be in gconf-editor? [22:29] allquixotic: no, it's not USB card reader, but MMC card reader which attached in my benq notebook [22:29] Slart: back.... did a hard reset cuz this computer is slow and cant restart worth crap [22:29] !info python3.0anipy: [22:29] Package python3.0anipy does not exist in intrepid [22:29] nbeebo: upgrading the distro won't resolve all your driver problems magically, but there are improvements in 8.10. [22:29] CheesyWeasel, apps --> metacity --> global keybindings [22:29] !info python3.0 | anipy [22:29] python3.0 (source: python3.0): An interactive high-level object-oriented language (version 3.0).

I have heard of laptop card readers using anything from serial to internal USB to eSATA... god knows what. maybe it's PCI. [22:30] hashbrow1 hmm lol, i have a problem here with my network tools brb [22:30] meoblast: ok, so hows the sound situation now? [22:30] memphis_: its not there. theres no option for battery/power information nor is there the keystroke that im talking about [22:31] starcannon: okay. [22:31] What can be the reason for zoom not working in rotate cube? [22:31] bingungaja: You can try running lspci and lsusb, and see if either of those commands lists your card reader as a device [22:31] Slart: dont know.... waiting for this slow piece of crap to start a browser [22:31] fuck it reinstallin [22:31] anipy: I'm not sure if it will overwrite your python2 install though..

[22:32] allquixotic: i'm using lspci, it's there, but not for lsusb [22:32] how do i upgrade ubuntu to 8.10? [22:32] nbeebo: from what?

(got one myself) [22:32] bingungaja: Then the MMC reader is connected to the PCI bus in some sense. The fact that it's not a USB Mass Storage Device casts some doubt on whether it's compatible; PCI cards have to be specifically supported on an individual basis. [22:32] memphis_: so like fn+f3 brings the volume down and fn+f4 brings it up. [22:33] nbeebo: if you have 8.04.... you have to change the settings in synaptic to show every distrubution upgrade... and not just LTS upgrades [22:33] Games and Ubuntu have a love hate relationship it seems [22:33] urrgh cant beilev i got hacked [22:33] Slart: you dont even want to know the specs on this machine [22:33] Slart: thank you. i browsed almost an hour with no result. sudo apt-get install points me to python3.1 and python3.2... which is weired since there is just 3.0 released.

[22:33] bingungaja: Can you paste into chat the *single line* entry of lspci that lists your MMC card reader? Just one line, please... starting with some numbers and ending with the description of the card. [22:33] memphis_: whats the nice solution? [22:33] CheesyWeasel, thanks! [22:34] patb: why don't you just reinstall ? probably the best solution [22:34] memphis_: you're welcome? [22:34] yeh thats what i'm doin [22:34] anipy: hmm.. I don't see a python3.2.. perhaps it's something else [22:34] setting key combinations via sys ---> prefs instead of the gconf-editor [22:34] just downloadin ubuntu 8 [22:34] meoblast, thanks i found it at the ubottu factoid.. do i know u? lol [22:34] I have a problem with openssh, i edited the /etc/ssh/ssh_config file to change the port, restarted /etc/init.d/ssh, but it is still using port 22.

[22:38] i rly need fresh install dammit [22:38] Schuenemann: i don't know. i only know how to customize my own. mine works great! :-D [22:38] onetinsoldier, you had no problems with sound?

Frankly, i don't really know much about this stuff yet, but i think your problem is unavoidable [22:45] yes I can [22:46] although i think it shouldn't be more than a nuisance [22:46] I am curious on the .bin question as well. [22:46] RCP, gnome-system-monitor [22:46] even when i close out normally i get that eror [22:46] Schuenemann: you don't have a libasound2 package that you can install? [22:46] RomD, Umm CLI?

[22:46] patb, are using hardy? [22:47] Schuenemann: well, sorry, i don't know how to help [22:47] bingungaja: It would appear that the tifm stuff has been integrated into the Linux kernel now, but I'm trying to determine if you have the modules loaded. If not, we can load them and that should really start to produce results.

I've been working on it for half a day now, so I'm stressed, I'm bored, I'm angry and I'm about to trow ubuntu disk out of the window [22:49] patb, thats where i got mine http://www.intellinuxwireless.org/ but i dont recommend it, try enabling backports repo and installing linux-backports package a lot of stuff was fixed with intel [22:49] supernoob, should [22:49] RCP, please stick with the channel.

[22:50] bingungaja: Then it looks like the tifm kernel modules are automatically detecting your PCI MMC reader and loading as a result :) Can you now run `dmesg | grep -i tifm` and let me know if there is any output? If it's more than two lines, put it into a pastebin like http://pastebin.com and send me the URL [22:50] bingungaja: did these drivers work ?

[22:53] memphis_: i've looked and looked. i cant find anything like that [22:53] starcannon: oh :( . thats what my setup looks like right now. if you find a solution please tell m e [22:53] anyway, I can't help sort yours out as mine is not working correctly, even if I gave you some sort of answer, it would be based off of a faulty setup [22:53] usser, so why does pulling the plug make it work every time after?

[22:58] CheesyWeasel, sorry dude, no clou [22:58] I have tried to setting my configurations manual in /etc/networks/interfaces [22:58] how do i manually force an IRQ assignment? [22:58] memphis_: yeah me neither thanks though. [22:58] bingungaja: Do you have any files in /dev whose name starts with mmcblk? [22:58] I have Ubuntu Intrepid Ibex on my PC, and I have downgraded my kernel version to 2.6.24-19 (because Bluetooth doesn't work with Intrepid's kernel), but I lost the sound support [22:59] bingungaja: For example the output of `ls /dev/mmcblk*` should produce either "No such file or directory", or give you a list [22:59] how can I have sound again? [22:59] hey all [22:59] Happy Gift Day. I just installed Ubuntu 8.04 a couple days ago on a Dell Dimension 2400. I am having a problem going into Suspend, or rather, when I do suspend, I have all kinds of glitch things happening on the display when coming out of suspend, as in, the display flicks all over when I do anything upon returning from suspend. Any ideas? [22:59] DasEi, I whould be gratefull if you can pm me yourself, as I don't know the command to do it [22:59] hey im having a problem. i installed 8.10 and now im not able to hear anything. even with the volume turned WAY up it is still very quiet [22:59] how do i manually force an IRQ assignment? [22:59] Draco_1: on the wa.. [22:59] Is there a way using some command like "lshw" to find whether a HDD is SATA vs. IDE? [22:59] allquixotic: no such file or directory [22:59] so I've got an opinion question when someone has a chance. I've got windows xp and ubuntu dual booted and an external hard drive. What filesystem is recommended for that hard drive so that BOTH linux and windows can read/write on it stably [23:00] MrWindex, ntfs would do just fine [23:00] bingungaja: Are you only trying to mount an XD memory card or have you tried an SD card yet? [23:00] Draco_1: see tab on your messenger [23:00] usser: really? I've heard write support with ubuntu on NTFS is unstable [23:00] MrWindex, without installing anything else FAT32 [23:01] can't see it [23:01] MrWindex, its not that its unstable there are some performance issues [23:01] KillerOrca: what do you mean without installing anything else? [23:01] Draco_1: type: /query DasEi [23:01] usser: oh really? is that it? [23:01] hey im having a problem. i installed 8.10 and now im not able to hear anything. even with the volume turned WAY up it is still very quiet [23:01] what os do you guys use? [23:01] I think I have some network problem, let me reboot a moment [23:01] how do i manually force an IRQ assignment? [23:01] I have Ubuntu Intrepid Ibex on my PC, and I have downgraded my kernel version to 2.6.24-19 (because Bluetooth doesn't work with Intrepid's kernel), but I lost the sound support [23:01] !patience | ovidiu [23:01] ovidiu: The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines [23:01] Draco_1: which messenger do you use ? [23:02] allquixotic: firstly i try to to use SD card, it can't be done, try something from google which ask me to modprobe tifm, done that, and checked that it already loaded, then i try again my MMC, nothing happened, then i guess it can't be mount [23:02] i just activated the NVIDIA accelerated graphics driver (version 177) and after i restarted my computer, I have a blank screen. How do I fix this? [23:02] MrWindex, to get the ntfs to work better you just need to install a few more packages, I know win can r/w to FAT32 fine, and have used ubuntu to read FAT32 [23:02] MrWindex, yes some file operations are slower with ntfs on ubuntu than on windows [23:02] can you get banned here for saying windows? [23:02] Hi, I have just intalled ubuntu 8.10 ...I started well, but later the system started to freeze, any clues at all? [23:02] hi [23:02] hashbrow1:boot in safe mode, then : sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [23:02] zuse12345: nope.. but we're really bad at answering windows questions [23:03] KillerOrca: can ubuntu write to FAT32 fine? [23:03] can someone tell me about Wine Tools? [23:03] usser: oh. that doesn't sound like too much of a problem then, I'm a patient guy [23:03] should be able to. [23:03] Slart: if only that were true [23:03] DasEi, inorder to boot into safe mode do i need to hit escape when grub is loading? [23:03] i have wine installed but reading in forums he recommends wine tools too. However, i don't see it in synaptic available [23:03] MrWindex, ntfs works fine [23:03] hashbrow1:yup, then choose recovery-mode, when up > root shell [23:04] MrWindex, certain programs dont like to be run from ntfs on ubuntu, like steam i think had some problems, vmware cant load virtual machines from ntfs [23:04] MrWindex, haven't tested it personnaly [23:04] Does anyone have any ideas as to why I am unable to go into Suspend? [23:04] Org-Mode: huh? that people can say windows without getting banned? or that's we're really bad at windows-questions? [23:04] Slart: just last night i seen like 5 people actually helping someone erase Ubuntu and telling him how to install windows, [23:04] slart bout answering windows questions [23:04] Webcam, 'cat /dev/video0' shows correct output, like when I put my hand over it repeated information, in light and moving around the data varriates. gstreamer-properties wont work for v4l2, says unable to negotiate format (v4l-info says pjpg) and crashes when I test v4l(1) [23:04] this is the forum thread http://www.fxaddict.com/community/showthread.php?t=89 as you can see he is recommending Wine + Wine Tools... i can't find it in ubuntu repos though [23:04] usser: thank you very much you've been very helpful [23:04] My ubuntu system is freezing a lot and I have to restart it from time to time to get it working...any clues to why this is hapening...is it a bug...I am runing ubuntu 8.10 [23:05] rezor21: I think yu can see with : sudo lshw -C disk [23:05] KillerOrca: thank you as well, you've also been helpful [23:05] RomD: thank you very much as well [23:05] allquixotic: from what i paste to you, do u know, actually what i'm facing ? [23:05] boulbul: in previous release (Hardy Heron) you have the same problem? [23:05] bingungaja: I'm running out of ideas without more careful investigation of the tifm driver. Someone who could really help you is Pierre Ossman; he is the Linux kernel maintainer for MMC and SD cards. I'm not an expert in this field, but if you could get a minute of Pierre's time (he can be found on freenode under the nick ossman, or you can post on LKML) he could help you figure out whether the driver supports it or what the pr [23:05] oblem is. If you're lucky, you could even help him or someone else fix the code so that this card reader works for everybody in the future :) [23:05] Org-Mode: well.. if that makes people happy I don't really see a problem with it.. although this might not be the best channel to do it in.. but I'm getting offtopic here.. [23:06] can someone tell me about Wine Tools? [23:06] i have wine installed but reading in forums he recommends wine tools too. However, i don't see it in synaptic available [23:06] this is the forum thread http://www.fxaddict.com/community/showthread.php?t=89 as you can see he is recommending Wine + Wine Tools... i can't find it in ubuntu repos though [23:06] CyberGabber: Thanks, but from what Ican see, it lists both SATA and IDE drives both as "description: ATA Disk", so it is unclear which is which. [23:06] !winetools [23:06] Sorry, I don't know anything about winetools [23:06] kieko: I've never seen anything called wine tools? [23:06] ovidiu: I use to run debian on it, this is the first time I run ubuntu...but, may I ask you why...cause I used to get similar problem with debian? [23:07] Slart, http://www.von-thadden.de/Joachim/WineTools/index.html#download [23:07] !java [23:07] 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 [23:07] Slart: yeah i was pretty disgusted about it, Im using win xp in a VM right now, so i have nothing against windows really, but telling people how to erase ubuntu and installing windows should NOT be discussed here in my opinion [23:07] i'm running ubuntu through wubi and it boots really slow. is wubi the cause? i thought ubuntu was supposed to boot really fast [23:07] dasei: should i use kernel framebuffer device interface? [23:07] hashbrow1:no [23:07] supernoob: wubi has is own set of issues, not saying thats your problem, but it might be... [23:07] Slart: and last night was not the first time ive seen that in here [23:07] kieko: ah.. found that site too. [23:07] i get suddenly a very slow connection to my file server on both FTP and Samba, when i restart ubuntu (not the file server) it all works well again. having the error and trying to unmount the samba share i get a Dbus error "Did not recieve a reply" - connection speed is under 100kb/sec. i really dont know what is causing this sudden slow down. caqn someone give me a hint? [23:07] allquixotic: oic, hmm Mr Pierre Ossman not online now, then I should ask for his favor later on :( what is LKML ? I'm confused, in google some says they can work it out, some say can't [23:08] hello guys, is there any way to specify disk geometry? [23:08] I think it has to be a disc [23:08] bingungaja: There may be some customizations to the particular chip you have, such as its subsystem being different from what they're supporting. But I can't say for sure why it doesn't work. [23:08] i am pretty much in the dark because its samba and ftp. [23:08] indygunfreak: like waht? [23:09] bingungaja: The information you extracted from lspci -nnvv, the [104c:803B], will be something you'll need to get any more help from anyone. But if you can get hold of someone maybe on the Ubuntu kernel team, or Pierre himself, you'll be in better hands. [23:09] supernoob: google.. prolly shoulda done that before you installed it though [23:09] kieko: well.. if you want to install it, it seems you'll have to do it from source.. don't use the rpm [23:09] bingungaja: LKML is the Linux kernel mailing list - it's where developers (rarely end users) will post questions about issues affecting the kernel, i.e., supported hardware is broken, etc. [23:09] bingungaja: But Pierre is active on LKML, so you could reach him that way if you're bold enough to post on LKML ;) [23:09] Can someone help me with a Suspend problem? [23:10] Slart, right... debian repos are mentioned but clearly they're not in the ubuntu ones anyhow... installing from source :/ [23:10] indygunfreak:research i did made it seem pretty kosher. haven't had a ton of issues so far. but thanks, i'll look it up [23:10] Webcam, 'cat /dev/video0' shows correct output, like when I put my hand over it repeated information, in light and moving around the data varriates. gstreamer-properties wont work for v4l2, says unable to negotiate format (v4l-info says pjpg) and crashes when I test v4l(1) [23:10] tries all programs, from camorama and cheese to ekiga and skype [23:11] dasei: okay i went through that thing, most of it was keyboard stuff. Should I just restart now? [23:11] allquixotic: wow, this issues is far beyond my leaque, i'm just a newbie in ubuntu or linux :P I'll try to post on LKML for sure ! :) meanwhile, I must satisfied with using USB card reader then. It's annoying knowing that my notebook won't work maximal after huge money i spent :P [23:11] hashbrow1:your old confi should be backed up, so : sudo reboot [23:12] dasei: let it boot into ubuntu regularly? [23:12] allquixotic: thx again for your time and help, much appreciated [23:12] adios [23:12] bingungaja: There is clear evidence from my research thus far that the Linux kernel *should* support the exact device you are trying to use [23:12] Hey when someone gets a chance, I need help setting Ubuntu as the default OS in a dual-boot setup [23:12] bingungaja: I think it's a matter of the driver needing a minor tweak. It's not like you are asking someone to write an entirely new driver for you, at this point. [23:12] this room is helpless...I rather have debian installed [23:13] hashbrow1:your old confi should be backed up, so : sudo reboot [23:13] allquixotic: hahaha, yeah i guess u right, with all evidence you got and what i read in google, I will "pray" to be noticed in KLML :) I must go now, thx a lot bro [23:14] sudo good evening [23:14] cd ~ [23:14] dasei: okay well i rebooted it and let ubuntu boot normally.
