[00:00] owen1__, I scanned my /var/log/xorg.0.log [00:00] courpse|dead tried installing the restricted nvidia drivers version 177 and now all i get is a text based login [00:00] stan: do you know of any command line tools that do work with v2 tags? [00:00] rjune_, v2strip [00:00] :( [00:00] Try changing back to vesa driver in xorg.conf [00:00] courpse|dead how do i do that? [00:01] courpse|dead and if i did that, wouldnt that allow me not to have desktop effects? [00:01] how do i know what xorg is using for a video driver? [00:01] rapha: i used unetbootin and it worked well for me [00:01] owen1__: no.. the lspci command doesn't mean your using it.. but the grep drivers /var/log/Xorg.0.log ...file does show that you are [00:02] onetinsoldier: got it. [00:02] hashbrow1, Thats right, but you can then try and sort something out from there, and get drivers/use eGUI to try and fix problem rather than cmd. [00:02] anyone familiar with crontab? [00:02] courpse|dead okay. how do i do that? [00:02] sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf [00:02] owen1__, just fyi -- run glxgears [00:02] i get 440 FPS [00:03] onetinsoldier: stan: when i changed the game to be smalle than full screen (my full screen is 1368x768) it's faster. [00:03] owen1__, glxgears -info should say what 3d driver is beign used [00:03] in the section device, it says driver "nv" ? [00:03] mine says Mesa DRI Intel (R) [00:03] owen1__: ahh, roger. good idea to do that [00:04] stan: it ask me to install mesa-utils [00:04] ah :( [00:04] courpse|dead: just did that and it opened a new file.... dasei had me do rm /etc/X11/xorg.conf after copying it to /etc/X11/xorg.conf_save (or maybe xorg.con_backup i cant remember_ [00:04] 56315 frames in 5.0 seconds = 11262.817 FPS [00:04] dunno.. my normal ubuntu 8.04 desktop install came with it. [00:04] onetinsoldier, lol. [00:04] hehe [00:04] real 3d card I take it? :) [00:04] stan: i have the minimum ubuntu installation.. [00:04] ati 4850 with fglrx driver 8.12 [00:04] owen1__, that might be part of your problem? i dunno. [00:05] stan: one sec. installing it. [00:05] onetinsoldier, 16mb ram? :D [00:05] courpse|dead should i cp it back over to xorg.conf? and then nano into it? [00:05] while using top, it says that my system has nearly used all its ram, however ordering by ram usage, it doesn't appear that any processes are 'using' it [00:05] hashbrow1, yes. [00:05] can anyone suggest a really cheap video card (just for videos) with good driver support? [00:05] hehe... ya! nah, it's got 512 MB [00:05] is there a way to see clearly where ram is being used? [00:05] ali1234: thx i'm gonna try that! [00:05] quik__, linux (like windows vista/windows server) uses memory to 'cache' files so they read faster. it will automatically use memory whenever it can to do this; but instantly releases it if a program needs it. [00:06] stan: so is there a way to get the 'real' availability? [00:06] hello [00:06] quik__, top, subtract buffers from used. === server_ is now known as kroffe [00:06] hashbrow1, Did ya get ya second nic working m8? [00:07] courpse|dead: theres no driver entry in the section device [00:07] i'v got a problem [00:07] stan: right. thanks :) [00:07] lukasz, do you have a therapist? [00:07] courpse|dead i think i can pastebin it now if need be lol [00:07] stan: I assume its the same for 'free -m' [00:07] hashbrow1:don't run the following command, but tell me what it offers you to remove, answer it with n (no) : sudo apt-get remove nvidia* [00:08] how do i reset my numeric keypad, so that it enters numbers instead of moving the mouse cursor ? thanks [00:08] computer problem [00:08] hashbrow1, lol, yeah, pastebin it would be good. [00:08] quik__, possibly rmeove buffers and cache.. [00:08] lukasz, we cant read your mind. [00:09] i speek english but not very well [00:09] stan: when i run glxgears -info i get a small animation of 3 wheels moving. [00:09] tim167:try preesing num key ? [00:09] owen1__, when you close it; it should say FPS [00:09] owen1__, in the console [00:09] HELP!!! i have installed 8.10 (II) and not i DO have sound but it is VERY low.. can someone help me out with this? [00:09] Ok [00:09] Thanksç [00:09] stan: 507 frames in 5.0 seconds = 101.237 FPS [00:09] lol DasEi. [00:09] DasEi: the num lock is on, with it off it does the same [00:09] owen1__, thats REALLY low!

[00:10] hashbrow1: does it only offer up to 3 nvidia packages ? [00:10] stan: GL_RENDERER = Software Rasterizer [00:10] zte [00:10] owen1__, thats your problem! [00:10] dasei: yeah like version 177 92 and something else i believe [00:10] stan: there is more info under extensions. [00:10] blbrown_lt: dpkg -l [00:10] stan: what is it? [00:10] owen1__, the GL_RENDERER should be nvidia or something... [00:11] hashbrow1, do: sudo apt-get install pastebinit [00:11] it's china [00:11] it sounds like X is loading a hsitty driver [00:11] is there any support of OpenLaszlo/LZX? [00:11] Anyone can help me understand why I get frequent wireless disconnects with Intrepid? [00:11] mortuis99: double click on the speaker icon... when the menu comes up raise the volume levels and unmute them. go into preferences and check thing like Surround, Front, Center, if they aren't already, and unmute them [00:11] then do: pastebinit /etc/X11/xorg.conf [00:11] owen1__, my laptop shouldnt get better fps than you :) [00:11] stan: u r the king! [00:11] hashbrow1: so remove it : sudo apt-get remove --purge nvidia* [00:11] owen1__, figure out how to install the nv driver. [00:11] stan: what can i do? [00:11] koshar1 it is better but still way LOW [00:11] owen1__, install the nv driver :D [00:11] stan: ok. [00:11] mortuis99: make sure you have volume level for PCM raised [00:12] ok. thanks so much. should i google to my specific (crappy) nvidia? [00:12] hola [00:12] owen1__, sorry.. not sure where else ot lead you.. nah.. you just want the generic shitty NV driver. [00:12] pueden leerme ? [00:12] hashbrow1: try rebooting again [00:12] stan: great. thanks [00:12] http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=ubuntu+nv+driver&btnG=Google+Search&aq=f&oq=ubuntu+nv+driv [00:13] what's the audio support channel? [00:13] or install the propritary nvidia driver [00:13] stan: will do. thanks [00:13] owen1__, is there a reason you did a minimal install rather than full? [00:13] courpse|dead http://pastebin.com/f7e2a8f71 [00:13] things were muted [00:14] stan: i want to keep it lean..

[00:17] hashbrow1, then pastebinit /var/log/Xorg.0.log [00:18] courpse|dead well i just purged it following dasei's advice and now ive got a desktop now [00:18] oh, cool. [00:18] 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)..all programs from camorama and ekiga to cheese and skype, nothign works..LD_PRELOAD does not work neither [00:18] nevermind then.

[00:20] I am installing that app now ot test [00:20] crashes with a BadAlloc [00:20] dasei: whats ibex items and how do i use them? [00:20] xine had this problem untill I updated gstreamer a few moments ago to see if that would work, gstreamer still crashes, but xine doesnt [00:21] so I can knock one more program off the list [00:22] how i can set a command ? [00:23] how can join me to spanish chanels ? [00:23] ali1234: sfer21: youngcoder: Unetbootin doesn't seem to work either - no matter whether I install it on /dev/sdb or /dev/sdb1 it gives some sort of boot error :-/ [00:23] kokodrilo: set a command? Can you elaborate? [00:23] !es | kokodrilo [00:23] kokodrilo: En la mayoría de canales Ubuntu se comunica en inglés. Para ayuda en Español, por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es o #kubuntu-es. [00:23] hashbrow1: I'm not on ibex right now, but there is a menu hardware drivers in system which mostly works better, an also risky but sometimes working way (rmember today's struggle/solvings) is: [00:23] send a comand [00:23] !envygtk [00:23] Sorry, I don't know anything about envygtk [00:23] with slahs? [00:23] \list [00:23] !envyng [00:23] envyng is an updated version of the *UNSUPPORTED* envy package. It is now part of the ubuntu universe repository (envyng-gtk OR envyng-qt) we suggest you use envyng if every other (official/supported) method fails! it can have various results from works, to fails!!! if you want the very latest drivers from the manufacturer you use them at your own risk [00:23] !envyNG > hashbrow1 [00:23] hashbrow1, please see my private message [00:23] rapha: maybe it's not a bug in ubuntu, but rather a bug with your computer not wanting to boot from it as a usb stick? [00:24] kokodrilo: /join #ubuntu-es [00:24] rapha: is /dev/sdb1 really the correct drive? and is it formatted as fat? [00:25] hashbrow1: generally ibex changed from config/aplication relation to hal and dbus in ibex an xorg 7.4 causes lots of trouble, good reason for hardy to me [00:25] ali1234: yes, no. Trying with FAT now. [00:26] hola [00:26] dasei: so do i need to install the envyNG? and i used the hardware drivers app earlier to install the restricted drivers but now there is nothing in that list [00:26] hal = hardware hallucinogenic layer [00:27] ali1234: wow, looks like I'm getting somewhere - now _nothing_ is happening :-P [00:27] hallucinogenic starts with a?

[00:29] ali1234: yes [00:29] is there a succesfull way for 7600GT in ibex ? please tell hashbrow1 [00:29] axisys: then yes, in theory :) [00:29] ali1234: unless it is not a good card for linux [00:29] axisys: right [00:29] axisys, do you have a /dev/video0? [00:30] sauvin_: nawp [00:30] * DasEi off to catching bats === `Chris_ is now known as `Chris [00:32] how do i verify the data on a cd? i want to do a check for um....i cant remember the name of the common file error for cds... file integrity or something [00:32] disk checksum possibly [00:32] zigzags, did you burn files? or an iso? [00:32] md5 ? [00:33] does anyone have a good guide to install handbrake in 8.04? [00:33] yeah i burned this cd a few months ago [00:33] no its not md5 [00:33] !handbrake [00:33] Sorry, I don't know anything about handbrake [00:33] zigzags: isn't in an option when you boot with the cd ? [00:33] stan: yes it is an iso burned to cd sorry [00:34] If I resize my linux drive to create another partition, will I risk losing files? defrag is not necessary correct? [00:34] dasei: is there a way i can downgrade to heron? you said that heron you can get this working no sweat right? [00:34] its not an OS cd, UT2004 [00:34] MHz128, you always risk currupting the partition table/data when you resize. i always do a bakcup first. [00:34] or is that how I would get to the error checking thing?? [00:34] ugh html is boring [00:34] stan, cool thanks. Do linux drives require defrag? === slashme is now known as meslash [00:35] MHz128: not really. [00:35] MHz128, all drives do.. but there are no utilities for EXT3 [00:35] MHz128, EXT3 keeps things reletively fragment free [00:35] MHz128: ext3 is very resistant to fragmetnation. [00:35] cool [00:35] Can ubuntu read/write ZFS filesystem? [00:35] MHz128: actually, I believe there is a defrag program if you really want one. [00:35] zigzags: ah, ut2004 - then I dunno, I usually use sfv to verify large directories but then you need to know what the original looked like [00:36] MHz128, ZFS isnt free.. so it isnt in th ekernel.. there is a fusefs module for it though [00:36] stan, I thought ZFS was open source? [00:36] MHz128, open souce doesnt mean free. [00:36] ohhh [00:36] biomass: CRC check! thats what i need [00:36] MHz128 with complex file operations there is always a risc of data loss, so valuable data should always be backed up on 2 separate phsyical locations [00:37] cyclic redundency check [00:37] i just installed and updated xubuntu. activated the restricted broadcom bcm43 driver, but it still doesnt seem to be working. Ive not had this problem after an install of regular ubuntu...any ideas? [00:37] axisys: according to v4l wiki, your card is not supported [00:37] is totem the media player i want to be using, or are there definite better ones out there? [00:38] zigzags: ok =) still, how would you accomplish that ? [00:38] idk im googling it now [00:38] jake: I like VLC ... totem gives me nothing but issues [00:39] i like vlc too [00:40] terminhell: if you upgraded the kernel you might need to copy the firmware from the old firmware dir to the new one [00:40] I have been trying to get my tv card to work but I can get it to scan for the channels can anyone give me some help? [00:40] hi everybody [00:40] terminhell: look in /lib/firmware/ [00:40] ali1234: so maybe i should rerun the restricted driver util?

[00:52] andre_pl: all updates will be pretty huge download... [00:52] zc00gii, no, you can boot into recovery mode and edit it there [00:53] zc00gii, you'll have root access that way, bypassing sudo [00:53] zc00gii: `hostname' doesn't make any permanent changes, so you should not be screwed. [00:53] zsquareplusc, I'm not finding a means to change hostname through the prefs now, is it gone? [00:53] ali1234: how huge? [00:53] never thought of that. [00:53] Are there any good speech to text applications for Ubuntu? [00:53] rapha: so will a reboot work? or even a log out? [00:53] zc00gii: sounds like you want to learn about the recovery mode :p [00:53] zc00gii: BUT I think you will have to edit /etc/hosts as well as /etc/hostname or something [00:53] its a devcent 3g p lan, but i image it has some kind of limit [00:53] zc00gii: reboot should do [00:54] /etc/hostname is a executable >_> [00:54] !hostname | zc00gii edit those two files [00:54] zc00gii edit those two files: Use hostname to set the hostname, or to do it permanently: edit /etc/hostname and /etc/hosts . WARNING! Make sure that your current hostname and /etc/hosts match, otherwise sudo may not work properly. Alternatively, use the gui at System > Administration > Networking on the "General" tab [00:54] andre_pl: well... i installed 8.10 on my new laptop yesterday and did an update... iirc it was about 250mb [00:54] ali1234: nope, got unetbootin 301 [00:54] wait no it isn;t [00:54] ali1234: that's not bad at all. [00:54] nvm [00:55] nickrud: hm. i don't see a way either. the network prefs is just for connections, not for your own pc :/ [00:55] rapha: hmm ok well i used 304... i think older versions didn't support fat32? [00:55] hmm [00:55] it didn't complain [00:55] zsquareplusc, I'll bring up changing the factoid, thanks for the heads up [00:55] but i'm gonna try 304 tomorrow - thanks ali1234! [00:55] bye all! [00:55] !ot [00:55] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [00:56] Are there any good speech to text applications for Ubuntu? [00:56] andre_pl: my mobile package has a 1gb/month limit [00:56] unop_: seems the hardest part of the procedure is getting this 'uri-list' file. the perl one-liner isn't something i'd be able to communicate by telephone. is there a way to get a such a list asuming a fresh 8.10 install (it should be the same for anyone in that boat right?) [00:57] ali1234: this plan is very generous, its something like 20GB [00:57] andre_pl: just have him email the list to you, process it, and send it back to him with a copy of wget for windows and a handy script [00:57] I have sony vaio vgn-FW21E, with 4Gb of RAM, but my ubuntu 8.10 sees it as 3Gb. Can anybody suggest anything please? [00:57] GodfatherofEire: I know of `festival' and `speakup'. Not sure if the latter is speech input tho. [00:57] is snes9x not in the ubuntu package database? [00:58] ali1234: just realized the problem with this..... he needs to apt-get update to get the list of updates. [00:58] can't do that [00:58] Need help installing 8.10 on Compaq Presario SR1920NX Desktop with SATA hard drive [00:58] andre_pl: yeah that will be a problem [00:58] Kijutsu: looks like it is to me. [00:58] progre55, 32bit or 64bit ubuntu? [00:58] When compiling kernels, is better to compile my hardware drivers as modules or built-in ? What are the pros and cons of each one? [00:58] rapha, thanks [00:58] Kijutsu: apt-cache search snes [00:58] Kijutsu, 32bit [00:58] Kijutsu: they are http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?suite=default§ion=all&arch=any&searchon=names&keywords=snes [00:58] andre_pl, you can direct the person to download the page to a removable drive and follow instructions when booted into linux [00:58] Is there anyway to get IE7 to go on ubuntu? Or anyone know of those browser snapshot pages where I dont have to wait 50 minutes in queue? :P [00:59] unop_: theres still the problem of not being able to run apt-get update without an internet connection [00:59] draginxx: have you tried wine? [00:59] progre55, that's why.. 32bit operating systems can only address a total of 4gb of ALL ram thruout the entire system, system ram, video ram, l1 and l2 CPU cache, etc. [00:59] jtaji & meslash: thanks much. [00:59] meslash, I wouldnt even know where to get ie7 [00:59] hmm [00:59] Kijutsu, damn, it sux ( [00:59] surely there is a way tog et a list of all core-debs that have been updated since 8.10's release so he can just download them all, stick them in /var/cache/whatev' and then run the updates. [00:59] draginxx: good point.... [00:59] andre_pl, i believe the howto says that step is optional [01:00] How do I message the bot? [01:00] bye people [01:00] progre55, i have the same problem... I can only address about 3.7 gig in my dell m1530 [01:00] juanto, bye [01:00] Kijutsu: hang on, I thought I saw a high-memory option in my config? [01:00] IEs4Linux i guess works :) [01:00] progre55: you'll need to reinstall with 64bit, I'm just about to do that on mine now that there are no issues in doing so [01:00] nevermind figure d it out [01:00] meslash, its possible.. i don't believe it's a default option in the standard ubuntu kernel. [01:00] unop_: its optional in that you only need to do it if you want newer packages than you already have... this is a fresh 8.10 install, never seen the internet before, so without the update, it will not know about any new packages. [01:00] meslash, but don't quote me on that. [01:00] someone asnwer me please [01:01] jtaji, but will my laptop support the 64bit ubuntu? [01:01] =) [01:01] Ok I dunno now hmm [01:01] progre55, what processor? [01:01] Kijutsu: Maybe so. [01:01] Could someone please tell me how to msg Ubottu [01:01] Kijutsu, sec [01:01] Does anyone know why I am getting this when I try: rndc reload ---> This may indicate that the remote server is using an older version of the command protocol, this host is not authorized to connect, the clocks are not syncronized, or the key is invalid <-- ? [01:01] lukasz: /msg ubottu hi [01:01] Kijutsu: I see CONFIG_HIGHMEM4G=y in my stock standard config, but I dunno about anything above 4G.... [01:01] ok thnx [01:01] /msg ubottu hi [01:02] Kijutsu, Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU P8400 @ 2.26GHz [01:02] Alexplay, hi how ya doing? [01:02] /msg ubottu hi [01:02] meslash, i believe that applies to the max of 4gb thruout the entire system [01:02] oops [01:02] progre55, 64bit capable :) [01:02] sloopy: who are u? [01:02] lukasz: w/o space at the begin of line [01:02] Kijutsu, thanks man [01:02] Kijutsu: hmm, could be I guess..... [01:02] andre_pl, right - but what is your priority - getting the machine on the net or updating it with newer packages? [01:02] Alexplay, i am someone you said someone answer you === awesome is now known as Guest59776 [01:02] ok [01:03] sloopy: =D === Guest59776 is now known as noswears [01:03] unop_: you're missing the point, i need newer packages to get on the internet, the packages that come with 8.10 out of the box are failing to recognize my usb device. [01:03] meslash, from what i remember of my gentoo days, the himem option is applied to the complete system overall, 4gb between system ram, video ram and cpu cache [01:03] meslash, and that option is for systems with more the 4GB of ram, less ram and that option will only slow down the system a SMALL bit [01:03] Kijutsu: Can be higher, check http://kerneltrap.org/node/2450 [01:03] Is there only french version of easycam2 depo? [01:03] meslash, looking.. one moment please [01:04] anyone? [01:04] ali1234: i dont understand whats so different [01:04] nickrud, what was the gnome network thing again? [01:04] zc00gii, apparently that's gone, the factoid needs to be updated [01:04] I know [01:04] Hi [01:04] Alexplay, and to answer your question, it isnt a big difference, modules or builtin, some prefer one or other, if you make them as modules it makes debuggin easier, but for a running system it doesnt matter [01:04] ali1234: when i last installed intripid ubuntu, after i installed the restricted driver it workd without a hitch, but with xubuntu i dont understand [01:05] the other network manager [01:05] Alexplay: just repeating "anyone" doesn't really help. just repeat you question once every few minutes [01:05] can anyone tell me if there is really a big difference then installing a x64 linux distro compared to a 32bit distro [01:05] zc00gii, can't find the option in any gui, I've asked some others about it elsewhere [01:05] zine, its the same [01:05] zc00gii, this?-> to get network settings: sudo apt-get install gnome-network-admin [01:05] sloopy, ah ok i don't need debuggin so it should be safe to built-in, zsquareplusc, got it [01:05] meslash, after reading.. it's a possibility [01:05] okay then [01:06] Kijutsu: It seems that it specifically works on Pentium Pro which has a facility for doing up to 64G of memory. [01:06] anyone wanna guide me through upgrading jaunty with the alternative cd [01:06] Kijutsu: other than that, you're stuck with 4G [01:06] D3RGPS31: you need to be in #ubuntu+1 [01:06] KillerOrca: how did it went yesterday? [01:06] Kijutsu, I'm trying to download the ubuntu 8.10 64bit, but it's called ubuntu-8.10-desktop-amd64.iso. the word "amd" there scares me :) is it compatible with intel processors? [01:06] Alexplay, yes, as modules the system can swap them out (kernel cant be swapped out) so for devices that arnt used (i.e. serial drivers, etc) it can help if they are modules but over all most machines have plenty of ram [01:06] Hi [01:06] zine: its the same, except for some 3rd party application. some can be run too (install ia32-libs) and some are a bit more complicated [01:06] I am running Xubuntu, and recently made a blunder in the terminal. I got the error notice "#1290 - The MYSQL server is running with the - - skip-gfrant-tables option [01:06] so it cannot execute this statement [01:07] " [01:07] * mitchsb is getting set to install ubuntu [01:07] progre55, it is [01:07] Can anyone tell me how to fix this please [01:07] zc00gii, that should give you System > Administration > Network Settings.. click on the General tab, you'll see the Host Name. Unlock the window and change it to what you want. [01:07] sloopy: ah ok that's more clear, thanks [01:07] meslash, reading the .config file says that 4g is enabled, meaning max 4g, and not 64g [01:07] GINZ: xubuntu? You're better off in #xubuntu [01:07] do I need to do anything special to make tracker search tool work, it never seems to show what i'm looking for even when I know its there [01:08] progre55: amd is a historic thing. they were the 1st to get 64bit done right for the x86 architecture. but intel is compatible with their core2 and other processeros [01:08] Ok ardchoill, thanks [01:08] im taking vista off this laptop i think [01:08] Kijutsu: So if you have a Pentium Pro and more than 4G, you will have to recompile a kernel to activate that. [01:08] stovicek: I already changed it the manual way, now the terminals won't load :\ [01:08] Does anyone here know why rndc will not start? I get: [fail] This may indicate that the remote server is using an older version of the command protocol, this host is not authorized to connect, the clocks are not syncronized, or the key is invalid <-- ? [01:08] zc00gii, can you access Synaptic? [01:08] Kijutsu, thanks [01:08] meslash, so i still think that progre55 is stuck at ~3gb of total system ram under a 32bit system [01:08] i tried to create two addition ext3 partitions, copied the contents of the loop mounted iso into one partition (dev/sdb2), adjusted my existing grub to boot from /dev/sdb2 but can not install into /dev/sdb3, installation does not even present /dev/sdb as candidate [01:08] zsquareplusc, thanks [01:08] i know this isn't medibuntu's channel... but is anyone else having issues using their repos? [01:08] stovicek, no :\ [01:09] GINZ: You usually use the skip grant tables startup option to reset the root mysql password. If you've done this recently, restart the mysql daemon normally [01:09] Kijutsu: I guess. I came in halfway through the discussion. [01:09] zc00gii, you are at the desktop, yes? [01:09] meslash, yeah... 'tis okay :) [01:09] meslash, evil 32bit systems :) [01:09] stovicek, yep [01:09] Kijutsu: I wanted help with NAT, and suddenly figured the problem out before asking! [01:09] zc00gii, you can't open a terminal window? [01:09] Kijutsu: Honi soit qui mal y pense. [01:09] meslash, I have 4Gb of ram but my 32bit ubuntu sees on 3Gb [01:09] no [01:10] CapaH: such an nice error message.. it basically tells you that anything can be wrong.. heh. it looks like it cant connect to the server at all. can you "ping" the server? (and i don't know what rndc is) [01:10] Yey webcam is installed :D [01:10] meslash, I don't speak wahteverthe grab language that is :) [01:10] hi guys. [01:10] I'll do ctrl+alt+f3 [01:10] progre55: So it's because of the video memory? [01:10] f2* [01:10] Hopefully I can flip it now [01:10] meslash, and i was told that that's because of the 32bit system [01:10] progre55, you don't have a PAE kernel? [01:10] progre55, whats your video card memory? [01:10] that wn't come up :\ [01:10] whenever i try and do a minimal install with the minimal iso, i keep getting timed out errors. is there a problem with the servers? [01:10] meslash, no idea ) [01:10] Kijutsu: It's the order of the garter's motto: Evil he who evil thinks (it) [01:10] what is a good way to search/ look for words in file names? tracker seems to be broken and not show obvious files (file will be [something].pdf I'll search for *.pdf and get tons of *.txt files] [01:10] brb [01:10] genii I have rebooted a couple of times and still get that error [01:10] Sauvin, what is PAE? ) [01:10] zc00gii, i'll wait for you [01:10] Kijutsu, sec [01:10] progre55, you can only define 4GB in 32bits... and some of that space is for device drivers etc... [01:11] Kijutsu, oh and, where do i see it? ) [01:11] progre55, depends on what video card you have. [01:11] Hello! [01:11] progre55, as I understand it, a PAE kernel allows for more than 4GB RAM. [01:11] Can anyone else do a minimal install? [01:11] progre55, if its nvidia, you can use nvidia settings in gnome [01:11] !hello [01:11] Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! [01:11] progre55, ati.. i haven't a clue [01:11] I'm new to Linux and I need help getting ClubPenguin to work. [01:11] !ask [01:11] Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [01:11] i know this isn't medibuntu's channel... but is anyone else having issues using their repos? [01:11] whenever i try and do a minimal install with the minimal iso, i keep getting timed out errors. is there a problem with the servers? [01:11] nibsa1242b: you might need to tell tracker to restart indexing. in the meantime you can search with locate or find [01:12] iglooc00l: I was last week, but it's OK now. [01:12] This happens with the retrieving installer components part of the installation. right before partitioning. [01:12] iglooc00l: While my local repo was giving problems, I just went onto the main one. [01:12] Does anyone have ClubPenguin working on Linux? [01:12] AnneShirley: What is ClubPenguin? [01:12] mesplash: where do i get the list of various repos? [01:13] Arv3n: or the computer cant connect to the internet. is it detetcing your network? it should do DHCP and get an IP [01:13] clubpenguin.com [01:13] I'm trying www.medibuntu.org [01:13] Every Linux user should own a penguin on there. [01:13] hallo zusammen [01:13] zsquareplusc: I've had it restart and even reset the index. It just seems useless. Uses up tons of cpu cycles, and I can never find anything when I want to... It'll tell me there are >100 results and only show 5 or some times it'll be blank. [01:13] Wow I had no error now with the command [01:13] AnneShirley-> huh? what for? [01:13] hi anne [01:13] Kijutsu, ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3470 256MB [01:13] Can someone give it a shot? I'll have my user name and password ready. [01:13] Hi markus! [01:14] iglooc00l: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/AddingRepositoriesHowto was the first link Google spat out, seems to be pretty useful. [01:14] progre55, go to a terminal, type 'top' and tell me what it says under Mem: XXXXX mb total [01:14] nibsa1242b: sorry can't speak from experience i turned tracker off ;-) [01:14] zsquareplusc, well it gets the packages at first. [01:14] thats my first time in here. i like it. [01:14] zsquareplusc, but then it slows down until it crawls to a halt. [01:14] enerya: I think it's so cute! [01:14] nibsa1242b: i rarely search and then i use locate or find :-) [01:14] zc00gii, how's it coming? [01:14] Ubuntu rules especially with Nvidia [01:14] nickrud, rebooted, everything works now :D [01:14] markus, careful its addicting, lost a GF to irc [01:14] Are we being spammed Club penguin/// [01:14] Kijutsy, Mem: 3079096k total, 1663784k used, 1415312k free, 67852k buffers [01:14] where are you all from? [01:14] zsquareplusc, ive tried both the 8.04 minimal image, and the 8.10 minimal image. all give the same thing. [01:15] Well I am outhere for tonight :) === vorian is now known as awesome [01:15] zsquareplusc: yeah, I need something like tracker that actually works, thanks for you help [01:15] Arv3n: oh. can you manually select an other mirror? (i'm not sure if that question is before or after the basic download) [01:15] markus, my mother, but for general chat use #ubuntu-offtopic [01:15] Quick question, Do I need the game installed to play the game on steam? Or Does steam install it when it "downloads" it? === awesome is now known as vorian [01:15] I can hear myself on my usb headset and sound recording isn't working. Help! [01:15] zsquareplusc, can you give me another mirror to try? [01:15] meslash: thanks for the link. here's the link I've been using https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Medibuntu [01:15] Can someone give clubpenguin.com a shot for me? [01:15] ??? [01:15] Whenever I minimize a window, it doesn't "go down" to the bottom panel. How can I fix this? [01:15] iglooc00l: Hmm, this really is a rather specific medibuntu thing, methinks..... [01:16] zsquareplusc, It has something to do with bind/named - it appears rndc is simply not running and refuses to start. [01:16] AnneShirley: OK... [01:16] Thank you! [01:16] meslash: the command to add always times out... i'm wondering if DNS is acting up. [01:16] Anneshirley: That's that one crappy flash mmo right? :P [01:16] progre55, IIRC you need 64bit for more then 3gb of ram [01:16] If you call it that... [01:16] how to install skype and partypoker.com on ubuntu 8.10 i have big probles [01:16] progre55, check dmesg near the top, you should have two lines that says xxx MB HIMEM available and xxx MB LOWMEM available.. give me those two numbers [01:16] Try installing flash. [01:16] Arv3n: you can prefix country codes in front of xx.archive.ubuntu.com [01:16] problems [01:17] meslash: thanks for your input. I think you're right. I'll give them some time. [01:17] I have Flash 10 installed. [01:17] iglooc00l: OK... [01:17] where is the best place to ask about compiling from source a binutils cross compiler using gcc 4? [01:17] I have a hang on login. [01:17] sloopy, okay, but reeally dont want to reinstall everything ( [01:17] on ubuntu [01:17] zsquareplusc, ive tried us.archive.ubuntu.com and archive.ubuntu.com [01:17] getting error: buffer i/o error on device sr0 while trying to install on a compaq with sata drive and xp already installed [01:17] let me go try again. brb. [01:17] I'm having a problem playing DVDs, I had them working and now they won't play in VLC, don't know what to do [01:17] progre55, nothing bad will happen if you continue to use it as is, just a GB of ram wont be used... [01:17] how to use a parser? [01:18] progre55, and the difference between 3gb and 4gb in your machine will likely be unnoticable. [01:18] Arv3n: does your router have a firewall or something that could influence the connection? [01:18] I have a dual core, 64bit cpu and 4gb of ram. I want to try out ubuntu without modifying my pc. Which live cd should I try? [01:18] markus: what are trying to do ? [01:18] btw, im looking to test the desktop version [01:18] MACsr: latest ubuntu 64-bit build. [01:19] i want install civ 4 and partypoker.com biomass [01:19] robert__: has the live cd in the regular distro? [01:19] i tried to create two additional ext3 partitions, copied the contents of the loop mounted iso into one partition (dev/sdb2), adjusted my existing grub to boot from /dev/sdb2 but can not install into /dev/sdb3, installation does not even present /dev/sdb as candidate [01:19] CapaH: the error message indicates a failure to start. but are you talking of the server or client of you mention bind/named? [01:19] After installing firestarter I am unable to Enable DHCP for local network support as its greyed out. It says for debian to install dhcp but there is no such package for Ubuntu?

[01:19] markus: what's that got to do with parsers ? =) [01:19] MACscr, what? [01:19] i can download both biomass. but then there comes xml-errors... [01:19] Kijutsu, lowmem : 0xc0000000 - 0xf8000000 ( 896 MB) [01:20] progre55, You're computer is fine.. it's just running a 32bit system.. you've not to worry about :) If you *REALLY* want all your 4gb, install a 64bit OS [01:20] blackvd-> run dhcpd manually [01:20] how do I make Evolution wrap lines on incoming messages? [01:20] blackvd, search dhcpd in synaptic [01:20] enerya: i don't really know, but the installer might assume that the drive its running from is a cdrom. can you install using USB or network nistead? [01:20] blackvd, make sure its installed [01:20] i am angry with ubuntu now... i have a brandnew pc and can not use it [01:20] robert__: you said download the latest 64bit build. I just wanted to make sure that version is the "live cd" version as well [01:21] markus, wanna trade machines? my home machine runs ubuntu great ;'D [01:21] Kijutsu, okay man, thanks :) well, so far I was okay with it. I've just noticed it's not seeing a gig of ram, and was curious :) [01:21] sloopy is surfing on an ironic wave? ;-) [01:21] progre55, i'll warn you though... setting up a 64bit is kinda a pain because you need to hack some stuff together to make it work... flash is one thing off the top of my head that;'s finiky [01:21] Kijutsu, I'll keep using the 3Gb, and probably will reinstall when ubuntu 9.04 is out :) [01:22] yes please. i am a newbie on ubuntu. i think i installed the wrong flash player, the wrong drivers and everything. all i can do great is surfing in the net... [01:22] my DVDs aren't playing, help anyone? [01:22] zsquareplusc, i am on my laptop which is slow (1Ghz P3, 256MB ram) irksome when people complain about their new machines ;') [01:22] MACscr, as long as it doesn't say "alternate desktop cd" or something it should be fine.

[01:27] Thanks [01:27] help [01:27] BYe bye [01:28] I can't seem to find a webcam that actually WORKS with Intrepid Ibex. Very upsetting. [01:28] dr_willis i ll try this. and if its ok, u are my god. [01:28] ernz, a lot of webcams dont have linux support.. from what ive seen its normally a 'it works, no problem, or.. it dont work.. go get a different one' type of thing [01:28] I have lost the ability to play DVDs where I was once able to, any troubleshooting help would be appreciated [01:29] ernz, last i checked of the 5 webcams ive had.. 2 had no support.. 3 worked no hassles. [01:29] dr_willis - That seems to be the case - but exactly which webcam will actually work with Intrepid Ibex? [01:29] unop_ would that include at the login screen? [01:29] enerya: you don't have a cdrom? and when you say extracting the cd, you just copied the contents of the iso, not loop mounted the squashfs..? [01:29] ernz, i will also state taht the 3 laptosp i got with webcams.. no problems. [01:29] !hardware [01:29] 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 [01:29] see if pc recognizes hd [01:30] ernz, i like my PS2 EyeToyWebcam :) [01:30] GodfatherofEire1, xset b off # won't as that applies to the current user only - but hopefully if you've blacklisted the pcspkr module you won't have beeps at the login screen [01:30] dr_willis - My HP integrated cam works great. The 2 cams I bought for the PC were no use at all. Which cams worked for you that I could buy in the UK? [01:30] ernz, but i cant even recall using it under linux.. lately [01:30] unop_ thanks [01:30] dr_willis: Oh. :\ [01:30] ernz, i just buy cams when i find them on sale.. the wife or kids are always needing one, or my mom.. [01:30] yes what cam will work with ubuntu [01:30] KillerOrcaSys, Did you lose the ability yo play or change the dvd to an commercial release? [01:31] to [01:31] zsquareplusc-> loop mounted the iso, then copied the contents of that mounted iso, and adjusted my existing menu.lst pointing to boot to where i copied the expanded iso [01:31] Does anyone here have a webcam working on Intrepid Ibex?

I want to add a radio station. [01:31] enerya: that sounds good. the trick is to also copy the hidden files though [01:32] thanhks [01:32] zsquareplusc-> oh yeah, the .disk is copied, its when in the installation steps that it fails to recognize my /deb/sdb3 so i can install it [01:32] is there a Google Chrome yet for Linux? [01:33] Org-Mode, not that ive seen.. [01:33] :( [01:33] I have lost the ability to play DVDs where I was once able to, any troubleshooting help would be appreciated [01:33] dr_willis: According to that Link - NO Logitech webcams work with 8.10! :o [01:33] zsquareplusc-> actually the whole /dev/sdb is not recognized (i booted in /dev/sdb2), only /dev/sda [01:33] dr_willis: you think google chrome might work in WINE? [01:34] as candidate for install that is [01:34] hi [01:34] Linux is renowned for its excellent device compatability [01:34] has anyone here installed quake wars enemy territory, comercial version? [01:34] pikario: LMAO. lol. Sorry. lol [01:34] Org-Mode, no idea.. i really dont find it that big a deal. where i would go too far out of my way to try it.. [01:35] ernz, thats very possible.. I have one Logitech Golfball type cam.. that i dont recall ever working. [01:35] Org-Mode, check the appdb if you want to find out [01:35] zsquareplusc-> so yeha, i think the installation process did not recognize /dev/sdb as a candidate partition to install, it thought the whole /dev/sdb is the /dev/cdrom [01:35] I think the reason webcams are not supported in Linux is that they are generally used for dirty things, and the developers of Linux/Ubuntu tend to not have very dirty minds. [01:35] dr_willis: It's probably the same as my one. [01:35] dr_willis: yeah its nothing compared to FF or Opera, but its got a few cool features that the "BIG" browsers don't [01:35] bunk [01:35] !ot > pikario [01:35] pikario, please see my private message [01:35] Org-Mode: there's some very serious privacy issues relating to chrome, i would strongly advise holding off on it.

Now I want to see if there is a webcam in existence that works in 8.10 [01:36] ernz, some of mine are 6+ yrs old. :) perhaps more [01:36] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Webcam [01:36] enerya: hm. there is probably a hack to confice the installer to intstall anyway. but you cant partition the drive you are using. if you have a partition ready, try mounting it under /target and restart the installer [01:36] Has anyone been able to get the Hauppage WinTV HVR-950Q to work with 8.10? [01:36] I have lost the ability to play DVDs where I was once able to, any troubleshooting help would be appreciated [01:37] zsquareplusc-> ahh good idea, let me try that, i forgot i do have access to /target [01:37] am off [01:38] enerya: well /target is mounted by the installer after partitoning, i dont know if it gets that it's already there [01:38] zsquareplusc, he left [01:38] Hi all, can x64 ubuntu run x86 applications? Does it need a compatibility layer? And if it does, does this compatibility layer come with it? [01:39] bazhang: i fear so, but i was almost don't typing so i sent that message off :-) [01:39] lewwy, i belive it can .. but i cant recall any x86 apps i needed to run.. that i couldent find 64bit ports of. [01:39] s/don't/done [01:39] lewwy other then Zsnes. :) [01:39] dr_willis, like cedega, wine, etc [01:39] what is the location of the rhythmbox music player? [01:39] lewwy2 wine works fine for me on 64bit. [01:40] lewwy: there is ia-32libs and you can always to a 32 bit chroot [01:40] how can i change from yahoo search engine to firefox i have the mini 9 dell with ubuntu? [01:40] during upgrade, i get this error: http://pastebin.com/m4b5fa10d (i'm not under 9.04 yet, so i should beable to ask this here >.>) [01:40] and then the 32bit apps can operate within the 64bit x server? [01:40] droopsta915, /usr/bin/ (which rhythmbox) [01:41] /join #vbox [01:41] and, probably opening a can of worms by saying this, but if I have 4gb of ram and a quad core, whats the advantage of 64bit over 32bit? [01:41] lewwy2: that you can use the full 4GB [01:42] ok well i'll give it a go [01:42] jamesrobinson54, if you are refering to what search engine that search box at the right side , firefox uses.. it has a settings area for picking othe rengines..

[01:46] the ONE day i use vbox and their servers are down [01:46] patb: arey they already installer and ou y can just use the menu to mount the iso in the guest? [01:46] someone needs to send the virtualbox guest additions iso file [01:46] I desperately need assistance. I'm trying to install Hardy and while packages were installing I got "An error was returned while trying to install the kernel into the target system" Vt4 only says: "Unpacking linux-generic (from .../linux-generic_..." then "Errors were encountered while processing: /cdrom//pool/main/l/linux-ubuntu-modules-2.6.24/linux-ubuntu-modules-2..24-16-generic_2.6.24-16.23_i386.deb" [01:47] If you have the vbox server installed the iso file is there somewhere... [01:47] I have a webcam that worked until a few minutes. Now, every time i try to use the cam i get: "/dev/video0: Device does not exist". The file /dev/video0 does exist though.

[01:48] zsquareplusc: Previously yes, not this install. Guess I'll check again. [01:48] Ever since i installed 8.10 my bandwidth has been throttled, some sites always time out; ipv6 is disabled, it isn't a DNS issue since i can view the sites on mac & windows but i can view the site on a proxy [01:48] D3RGPS31, sounds like you've got a case of ISPitis. Call them. [01:48] rainabba: check dmesg if its the cdrom you'll likely see there read errors logged [01:48] For some reason I lost all my side panel shortcuts in nautilus. Now whenever I add them, they disappear. Any ideas? [01:48] compuhacker: as i said, i can view the sites on mac & windows [01:49] oh sorry, I read too fast. Then, check your network settings.

[02:00] ? [02:00] ra: because they have all the dependencies defined. ubuntu has a policy of not upgrading versions once distributed.. so if ubuntu 8.04 shipped with open office 2.0 . . it wont upgrade to 3.0 for you.. you need to install ubuntu 8.10 [02:00] DOS 2.6 HARDCORE OLDSKOOL YEAHHH [02:00] It is if the old stuff doesn't work and the new stuff does [02:01] is it a good idea to replace tsclient by rdesktop? [02:01] ra but not always the case [02:01] computerhacker; stop it [02:01] sirstan How would I just reinstall GRUB? [02:01] ra: then install from source. 99% of the time the distribution version is easier to use than installingfromsource. [02:01] Exactly so we should make sure what is in the repositories actually works [02:01] Geoff_: someone posted a url above. [02:01] ra: it does? [02:01] how can i tell what guichan i have from the terminal [02:01] ra: if it doesnt, bugs.ubuntu.com [02:01] sirstab: Not at all [02:01] ra: ... what doesnt work? [02:01] sirstan: not at all [02:01] Stop what :/ [02:02] sirstan Oh, thanks man. [02:02] computerhacker; bieng silly we are not dos [02:02] Geoff_: no. [02:02] ra if you want the very latest, then ubuntu is not the distro for you. There are others, its free you know [02:02] Geoff_: no problem. [02:02] sirstan: Zsnes, Pcsx, Wine is at 1.1.1 which doesn't work with PLATNIUM rated games [02:02] being [02:02] Virtualbox didn't work, I had to get it from .deb package [02:02] I was making an example of old software sometimes being better [02:02] ya if you like bleeding edge software Ubuntu is not for you [02:03] anyone know how to find out the guichan version from the terminal? i think the command is grep | guichan --version im not too sure though [02:03] ra: virtualbox installed just fine for me (8.10) [02:03] zsquareplusc: "The CD-ROM is valid" I'm going to try again, but do you have any other ideas why it may have failed? [02:03] ra this isn't going to turn into a long diatribe about old packages is it? Cuz I will quash it [02:03] sirstan: Yeah it installed, then I tried to partition over 100gigs and it didn't work [02:03] has anyone here installed quake wars enemy territory, comercial version? [02:03] nickrud: How do I put packages in the repository that work? [02:03] This is the "free" software channel. Go troll elsewhere. [02:04] ra: That isnt a repo issue.. thats a ubuntu policy. they wont use a newer rev once its released. [02:04] rainabba: nope. did you check the cd on the same drive you're using to install? [02:04] compuhacker, that is not helpful [02:04] zsquareplusc: yes [02:04] ra you can work with the people in #ubuntu-motu , they add stuff to backports. [02:04] you fack [02:04] compuhacker, I suggest you chat in #ubuntu-offtopic [02:04] botom [02:04] wow [02:05] I know. I'm just trying to liven up your pathetic chat here. (I personally like Ubuntu, I'll get on topic at some point ;)) [02:05] i am trying to mount a smart phone with ubuntu, when i plug it in, dmesg has the following line [496503.304000] sd 4:0:0:0: Attached scsi removable disk sdb [02:05] so i think the kernel side things are fine [02:05] hi [02:05] but i don't know how to actually mount it, [02:05] compuhacker, this is not for livening up, it is a support channel. #ubuntu-offtopic for chat [02:05] agreed [02:05] mount /dev/sdb /usb says "mount: No medium found" [02:05] rrenaud: try mkdir /mnt/phone; mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt/phone [02:06] nickrud, sirstan: I like Ubuntu, I do. I feel though everytime it is said it works, or said it is in the repository. It is, but it doesn't work. Kind of a philosophical question, Does it matter if something is available if it doesn't work [02:06] Oh yes. How do I download that open source doom clone without the "Add/Remove Programs" panel? [02:06] mount: special device /dev/sdb1 does not exist [02:06] ra: No one would use Linux if there werent repos. [02:06] ra: Just look at LFS userbase vs. Ubuntu user base. [02:07] ra, you should take this to #ubuntu-offtopic, you are straying way off topic (sirstan you too if you're interested) [02:07] nickrud: i could careless. [02:07] ra; I am a new user and have not had any problems with the repos sometimes my hardware is not good aenought to run the program but that is not the fault of the repo site [02:08] oh well, i'll try to get it working alter [02:08] Anyway, anyone know the yum name for Doom? :/ [02:08] yum? [02:08] y...um.. right? the command? [02:08] compuhacker, yum is for fedora or other rpm based distros [02:09] mmm then I am very confused. [02:09] compuhacker: http://magdalena.thedarkmere.net/~beau/doom.html [02:09] compuhacker, you should join #fedora then [02:09] compuhacker; confused as i what?? [02:09] !apt | compuhacker [02:09] compuhacker: 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) [02:09] compuhacker: Yum is not a command that is generally used or supported on a Ubuntu system. It is the package retrieval and downloader used on several other Linux software distributions, but not Ubuntu. [02:10] I thought yum was also useable on Ubuntu, how silly of me. I've got #fedora open, I'll ask them.... and download Fedora [02:10] onetinsoldier: i just finished upgrading :D i will return with news! [02:10] compuhacker: enjoy! [02:11] I shall! I've got an SGI Octane that plays Doom. Awesome little bugger. [02:11] * sirstan enjoys people who come in here and make passive threats ("ill go install windows!", "ill go install fedora!"). [02:11] Passive threats? [02:11] * compuhacker slaps Sirstan [02:11] compuhacker, stay on topic (too late ;) [02:11] compuhacker, stay on topic (too late ;) [02:11] compuhacker, stay on topic [02:12] I will if you... would.. stop... kicking me! I'm going to go install DOS! And Pay for it! also how do I change my Ubuntu background D= [02:13] Am I correct in my belief that ubuntu doesnt rev software once a version of ubuntu is distributed (ubuntu 7 wont get a firefox 3 package; for example)? === worldwidesuicide is now known as [r94 [02:14] Im having a hard time getting my Folding@Home working correctly. I've been searching the forums for a while now. I used the lastest install script available and set it up for my Dual Core processor. I have 4 FahCore_a2.exe's running when I look at htop, but i still don't have a unitinfo.txt so I can run protein_think. Is there anybody here familiar with both FAH and Protien Think that wouldn't mind lending me a hand? [02:14] sirstan: oh, they update or add packages every now and then.. but I think it takes something special to do it.. [02:14] sirstan: there is often a backports repo. but the releases wont get upgraded versions normally. exceptions are small change security updates [02:14] sirstan, in general yes. Sometimes things end up in backports [02:14] sirstan: I believe you can write to the package maintaners and suggest an update [02:14] I have a dual core processor, so I thought that i'd have /opt/foldingathome/1 and /opt/foldingathome/2, but I only have /opt/foldingathome/1 [02:14] backports isnt enabled by default though right? [02:15] correct [02:15] so "my moms" ubuntu 7 machine wont get firefox 3 automagically. [02:15] is lighthttpd on the repos?

[02:16] sirstan: I think firefox will update from its own program [02:16] sirstan: if you have a 7.04 or 7.10 you run out of support anyway. upgrade... (upgrade to an LTS release if you don't want to update too often) [02:16] !livecd [02:16] The Ubuntu Desktop CD is a "LiveCD" which can be run without altering existing files on your harddrive.

[02:20] I'm looking for help getting my touchscreen working [02:20] So now I go back to try my install again and my previously configured MD and LVM volumes aren't there. The RAID partitions are. So I goto configure and create a new MD device and I get "No unused partitions of the type "Lnux RAID Audtodetect" are available so those RAID partitions are being seen as "in use" somewhere in the installer right? What the heck is going on? [02:20] mbrigdan: but really any tablet should work fine.. to be super-sure google 'model number ubuntu" .. suchas "lenovo x61 lenovo" [02:21] sirstan: this no change after release policy id actually an advantage. it much easier to keep millions of installations when you know what's there. other OS have a lot of issues by the unlimited number of version mixes of theirs tools. [02:21] zsquareplusc: I wasnt asking for the pro's/con's .. just if it was the case. [02:21] sirstan: Oh, I meant drawing tablets...

Hey I have a question for you that has been answered already but i just want some confirmation since you seem really experienced with Ubuntu. My question is, if I boot off the ubuntu LiveCD and install custom drivers for my wireless adapter as a test to see if it will mess anything up, will there be any side effects to my currently installed ubuntu? [02:50] My understanding from this community is that everything from the liveCD totally runs off ram, so i'll be safe [02:50] :) [02:50] :) i know abt APTonCD [02:50] Munchkinguy: Well I can still use it, however it looks nothing like it did before I somehow messed it up.

[02:58] how do you enable the tv out so I can do twinview to my tv? [02:58] modumassEEE: could be your internet connection, what speed are you? [02:59] or use it in dual view [02:59] jpastore, nVidia? [02:59] jpastore: check out displays in the menu [02:59] Linux experts, question - let's say I SSH into a remote machine and start some GUI application, this means thats the UI will be X-forward back to me. However, what if I want to start the GUI on that remote machine itself without having the UI stream back to me... think as if I start the GUI app, but the actual UI appears on that remote machine's monitor/screen.

[03:02] Paddy_EIRE: what do you mean by drive layout? Pretty much just a standard ubuntu install.

[03:03] steely, well, what i mean is - each user on the system can use evolution - so it's just a matter of creating a new system account [03:03] zsquareplusc: glx-new seems slightly more promising, I guess.

[03:18] like when ever i connect my usb modem it shud dial it Paddy_EIRE [03:18] Thanatoast: not that i have an nvidia sound chip but i think the kernel has drivers for it. if you accidently removed it from /lib/module/.. maybe reinstall the kernel package [03:18] Awsoonn, by chance does he have a recovery partition? [03:19] When I log in as 'User A', Xorg uses 45-70% CPU, even on idle. When I log in as 'Use B', Xorg uses hardly anything.

[03:20] rraj_be, hmm.. have you checked the forums for your hardware device === mkultra is now known as Cattle-Lovin [03:20] thanks and umm ouch [03:20] Na [03:20] what is the port name for the ltp port? [03:21] i havnt checked it . . .but i have an idea that when ever a new device is found / . . .linux will execute a set of commands and i am sure abt this. . and i wan2 add my custome command to it [03:21] DVA5912: You mean the printer port device name? [03:21] DVA5912: /dev/lp0 typically [03:21] No i have an Lcd screen on it [03:21] Peddy: not sure if that's the best way, but you could remove (move away,backup) all files in that home of user A and copy /etc/skel back to it. [03:21] thanks jtaji [03:21] Does anyone know if netbook remix has a channel? [03:22] Well Awsoonn, i had that mistake not that long ago [03:22] i went back to best buy and had them create a recovery disk [03:22] So anyone want to walk me through setting up lcdproc to my hd44780? [03:23] it costed me about $35 [03:23] perhaps the store he got his from has some sort of service that can help him [03:23] or if its a model some computer story like best buy has have them create a recovery disk with a display model [03:24] how to use conky?

[03:24] how do i kill it [03:25] nomaden: whay do you need help with in relation to conky? look at the example .conkyrc files and modify them and save them as ~/.conkyrc, that's about all you need to know [03:25] Peddy: xoreg settings are system wide. its probably some application / applets that's doing updtaes at a too high rate [03:25] zsquareplusc: I have no idea which package to reinstall. I had removed 5 or 6 related to nvidia; they were either restricted or envy [03:25] hi all, does anyone know if there is a size limit on apt cache folder? [03:25] Mike9022: What happens again when you switch to glossy? [03:25] Peddy: so i'd guess you'll find the source of the trouble in the gnome settings respectively the session [03:26] zsquareplusc: I removed .gnome2 etc and I ran without any login scripts (safe mode or something), can you think of anything else that may do that? [03:26] zsquareplusc: I removed .gnome*, .gconf* [03:26] Thanatoast: oh you did not manually delete a file? then i guess the audio driver should still be there [03:27] how would i revert to the repo version of a package when i have installed a newer deb? i couldnt figure this out from the apt-get manpage. also, i don't just want to remove and install again, since a lot of other packages depend upon this one, and they would have to be removed/reinstalled also [03:27] Peddy: there is also xsession or xinit where a user can start stuff on x start. but with ubuntu you usually don't have these [03:27] Munchkinguy: When I use it, it looks much different than it did when I got Intrepid. [03:27] can someone help me with this: Unable to copy the user's Xauthorization file [03:28] It comes up every time I try to run an application that need root previlidges (eg Login Window : gdmsetup) [03:28] zsquareplusc: No, I didn't manually delete anything. All I did was remove some restricted/envy packages. Now, no sound [03:28] function1: synaptics shown all versions of a package it knows when you use the properties [03:28] zsquareplusc: aha! thanks :) === eric is now known as Guest94905 [03:29] Mike9022: Could you please upload a screenshot to imagebin.ca ? [03:29] Thanatoast: no idea. but by bad luck, sound could have been broken by other reasons. others had that sound stopped working or was muted [03:30] zsquareplusc: I've dabbled with that xsession stuff, I think, where are the xsession or xinit conf files? [03:30] hello. In XawTV my webcam works, but in Skype it does not find it. How can I get it to work? [03:30] does #ubuntu support non FOSS? [03:30] zsquareplusc: When I first clicked on the voulme control it said that there was no sound card and told me how to remove the volume control, so it is more than muted [03:31] Peddy: instead of moving single files, did you try to start with an empty folder? i.e. rename the home folder and create an empty one with the original name? [03:32] zsquareplusc: trying now, brb [03:32] I can't connect to my samba share [03:32] how do I check log in attempts? [03:32] /msg nickserv set hidemail on [03:33] stan: Usually. Try asking. [03:33] Thanatoast: yeah that looks like the driver was not loaded. if you know the module name, try lsmod and look for it. dmesg contains some usefull messages sometimes. and maybe pulseaudio was not loaded correctly [03:34] hello, ive got a question about my wireless card [03:34] zsquareplusc: I have no idea the module name. I just tried rebooting and now it isn't even starting gnome, just a black screen === heather is now known as faerykisses [03:34] Munchkinguy: http://imagebin.ca/view/WMHxfj6K.html [03:35] narzy: ubuntu is the server? so samba? there's probably a log file in /var/log [03:35] d [03:35] anyway, ive got it working using ndiswrapper [03:35] zsquareplusc: 3 minutes of black screen.... Somehting is not right [03:35] Thanatoast: but a text console is working on ctrl+alt+F1? [03:35] What command can i run to find out what port number my ltp is? [03:35] i had previously installed arch and tried to get the same card working using ndiswrapper with the same drivers [03:35] Mike9022: That's what Glossy's supposed to look like. [03:36] i would get a kernel panic when i modprobed ndiswrapper [03:36] Munchkinguy: It didn't look like that before. [03:36] Hello [03:36] what does ubuntu and arch linux do different on a base install that would cause that? [03:36] zsquareplusc: Yes. It may just be the monitor not liking the settings, and it fixed it when I swapped resolutions from the console [03:36] Mike9022: Oh-wait. I see it. [03:37] Thanatoast: DISPLAY=:0 xrandr ... can change resoltutions from the command line [03:37] * Extreme1ont has just installed UBUNTU on a system and wants to setup samba for file sharing with windows based pc and needs HELP [03:37] zsquareplusc: I think it's the frequency the monitor says it is at 75Hz, and it is only supposed to support 60 [03:37] i had 3gb in cache apt archives now i only have 500mb how did this happen and how to avoid ? [03:38] Extreme1ont: where exactly are you running into trouble? [03:38] looked though the logs found nothing [03:38] at the begining of setting it up [03:38] lol [03:38] i never used linux before. [03:38] is there a keyboard command to switch desktops in X? [03:38] i dont understand all this command stuff im finding in help forms [03:38] Thanatoast: if you can get a working resolution with xrandr, you can use gksu nvidia-settings to set something working permanently [03:39] er, workspaces I mean [03:39] Las2: worspaces or desktops :p [03:39] Extreme1ont: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=76647 and there are plenty more tutorials on the net [03:39] zsquareplusc: I have the screen now.

[03:39] kickass, thanks [03:40] yes apt is the chronic shit [03:40] as in, wireless works in ubuntu, but causes a kernel panic in arch? [03:40] Thanatoast: you said it worked once. so i'd guess you'l get that working again. but i'd solve one problem at a time. and no GUI is the one causing more pain [03:40] Mike9022: You have to log off and log back on for some theme changes to take effect. If that doesn't work, [03:40] ...I have one more idea [03:40] Anyone? How do i find out what port ltp is? [03:40] tryed this sudo gedit /etc/samba/smb.conf.. and it says command not found [03:41] Extreme1ont: gksudo [03:41] Munchkinguy: So you want me to restart and then see if the theme works correctly and if not, you will tell me your other idea? [03:41] zsquareplusc: I am sure I can tweak the gui. It came back when I Alt-F7 back from the console.

[03:45] dont know what that is. translate into layman please [03:45] nick327: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [03:45] zsquareplusc: thanks [03:45] as in, wireless works in ubuntu, but causes a kernel panic in arch? [03:45] sudo apt-get install samba...... sudo gedit /etc/samba/smb.conf ....... command not found. [03:45] Guys imhaving a little trouble with my HD44780. How do i configure LCDd to use it? [03:45] Extreme1ont: serevr edition? command line only? then use somthing else than gedit. like vim or nano [03:46] Extreme1ont: did you type those separately? [03:46] yes [03:46] Oh, wait, i see. Are you using gnome? [03:46] DVA5912: is that your video card? looks like maybe one to many numbers in it [03:46] gnome? [03:46] william: it's pretty self explainatory.... just type into google "Vice city no cd" and download the patch for the game to allow it to run without the cd [03:46] i dont friken know LOL [03:46] Just try typing nano where it says gedit in the second command instead === dstar_ is now known as dstar [03:46] i installed ubuntuntuntu 8.1 [03:46] onetinsoldier: no its an lcd screen. 20X4 [03:46] ans thats it [03:46] ie. sudo nano /etc/samba/smb.conf [03:46] DVA5912: oh.. i see [03:47] hmm thanks. will try it. wait one. [03:47] Extreme1ont: try that ^ [03:47] sudo vim /etc/samba/smb.conf [03:47] k [03:47] or that [03:47] ;) [03:47] i think that worked [03:47] thanks [03:47] And if you do want a more GUI approach to editing the file, you can install gedit with sudo apt-get install gedit [03:47] ill never remeber all this lol [03:48] you will [03:48] yas in 10 years maybe lol [03:48] Extreme1ont: irssi or pencil and paper ;-) === Mike_92 is now known as Mike9022 [03:48] Mike9022: did it work? [03:48] Munchkinguy: Nope [03:49] I just uninstalled "xchat gnome" using the Ubuntu package manager, but it still shows up under apps>internet> (although it does not launch) ... how do I remove the icon? [03:49] Extreme1ont: I'll explain what the sudo vim /etc/samba/smb.conf command did. "sudo" tells it to do the command as a powerful user that can make modifications, "vim" tells it to open a text editor and "/etc/samba/smb.conf" tells it to edit that file. So, basically it says in english "as a priviledged user, open /etc/samba/smb.conf in vim" [03:49] that should make it a bit easier to understand ;) [03:50] is exim the most light-weigth smpt server for linux? [03:50] Mike9022: One last thing. If this doesn't work. You'll have to try someone else. Switch to the Human theme. Then I will send you the contents of my /usr/share/themes/Glossy folder. Unzip them into your Glossy folder. Log out (don't restart). Log in, and switch to Glossy theme. [03:50] Munchkinguy: Okay [03:52] hi guys, I was at my local computer repair shop today because I had a lot of viri, but I noticed they were selling ubuntu, it was like half the price of a new XP, and the guy said that I wouldnt get any more viri if I switched over. so I picked up a copy, and now I dont know how to install it. I tried to put it on, but I think its broken. please halp me? [03:52] Mike9022: Download here - http://myuploadspace.googlepages.com/Glossy.tar.gz [03:52] Munchkinguy: okay [03:52] lolwutftw: did you pay for the physical cd? how much? [03:53] it was $50 dollars [03:53] lolwutftw, first of all i would suggest taking the disc you bought back and just downloading a free copy its free and legal, also please describe how it is broken [03:53] lolllllllllll [03:53] how do I remove an icon from the "Application" menu? [03:53] it wont install [03:54] lolwutftw, how so, that doesnt tell me anything [03:54] lolwutftw, wanna buy OpenOffice.org for $100 its much cheaper then MS Office? :'D [03:54] lolwutftw: take it back and tell them it won't install, and download it from the ubuntu website [03:54] sfer21, leave the troll alone. [03:54] when put it in it loads but not to the install screen [03:55] stan: troll? i don't think so, computer shops do sell copies. [03:55] anyone have any idea how to use smb services or other to connect to a windows connected samsung ML-1740? [03:55] lolwutftw: could you describe what happens? [03:55] att0: there may be an add/remove option at the bottom of the applications list? [03:55] How would I customize actions for a specific mouse? [03:55] sfer21, im sure they do.. but tell me someone comes on IRC because they pay $50 and it wont install. [03:55] its a rinter...any good docks on setting this up?

(including media setup for mp3/dvd/etc) [03:56] I botched my internet connection trying to setup a bridged connection for my xbox 360. Now when i boot up network manager "connects" to my router although I am unable to ping, pull webpages, or even connect my router via my browser. I tried restoring from backup using sbackup but my var gives errors about some /var/tmplhdfasdh not existing. Is there any kind of auto config i can run? my wireless is ath0. [03:57] lolwutftw, what is the name and town of this computer shop that is selling ubuntu? [03:57] !ot [03:57] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [03:57] zsquareplusc: I reinstalled all the alsa stuff (seems that that is where the driver should be? searching online, nvidia ac'97 ck804 seems to be part of alsa, I guess) and still no luck with sound. === u is now known as Guest69327 [03:58] Jack_Sparrow: who was that aimed at?

[03:58] Thanatoast, some people have messed with alsa when they are really using pulse-audio [03:58] sfer21, you and stan both [03:58] hold on let me look at recipt [03:59] grassputin: downloaded patch. what do i need to do now [03:59] Jack_Sparrow: mine was a while ago, but i guess it doesn't matter. i just find it more convenient when you use | === carlos is now known as Guest69306 [03:59] sfer21, I use > or | depending on the situation [04:00] I have a Intel ALC268 Audio card, under Windows the maximum volume sucks, with headphones. You can go in and adjust an equalizer in the drivers to get it to be regular level. How can I do that with Linux? [04:00] sfer21, If I an addressing a couple of people I send it to the channel [04:00] wait, now we're getting offtopic ;) only asked because it wasn't aimed at anyone, i thought it was about the xbox router thing. [04:00] Also my CPU Usage is very high [04:00] Jack_Sparrow: What if the keyboard isnt listed in either the Keyboard setup nor the keytouch package? [04:00] no address but phon# is 9189797 in dallas [04:01] SJr|Nbook, what version of ubuntu are you running [04:01] http://www.compugen.net/page29.htm Compugen [04:01] GodfatherofEire1, No idea... if it isnt listed... [04:01] lolwutftw: but let's move this to the #ubuntu-offtopic channel, shall we? [04:02] KUBUNTU [04:02] With KDE 4.2 beta [04:02] lolwutftw, anyways.. download ubuntu from ubuntu.org (return the cd you bought) [04:02] 8.10 [04:02] butn it .. and see if it installs. [04:02] is there any note making applicvation which can be password protected [04:02] but Ubuntu wont run any WIndows applications you may have.. its linux [04:02] How do I edit or create my own metacity themes?

[04:04] zsquareplusc: Still no luck with sound (I reinstalled all pulse-audio stuff that was already installed), and video still blank until I toggle to CTRL-ALT-F1 and back [04:04] heya; I'm having an incredibly aggravating time trying to dual-boot Windows and Linux; when I attempt to install Ubuntu, this shows up: "/bin/sh: can't access tty; job control turned off" [04:04] doug3, Intel core duo is the ebst bang for the buck right now [04:04] perhaps this just means I need the latest version? [04:04] can someone help me find RT2501USB.inf file [04:04] so i can use ndiswrapper [04:05] my wireless drops alot its annoying now [04:06] zsquareplusc: Also, there seems to be no way to change the refresh rate, other than 75Hz or Auto in nvidia settings [04:07] kaiser10123, typically you fdownload the windows drivers, extract them, and get the file you need? [04:07] stan: cant find windows driver it come with a exe file not driver itself [04:08] Thanatoast: the sound card driver is contained in the kernel. the point there is probably finding why it isn't loaded anymore [04:08] kaiser10123, usually exe's are just ziped files.. try unzipping it [04:08] The only way that I can get my wireless to work is to open the terminal and type "cd ~/Drivers/compat-wireless-2008-12-26 && sudo make load". How can I make it run this command automatically? [04:09] hello [04:09] pentaside: put in in /etc/rc.local [04:09] hello [04:09] any command line fans here?

If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [04:12] tsuna27, did you md5 the disk/download [04:12] pentaside: oh, and the reason it won't work if you put it in /etc/rc.local is because you used ~ instead of /home/yourusername [04:12] jack_sparrow: what does md5 the disk mean [04:12] !md5 [04:12] To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/VerifyIsoHowto or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows [04:13] zsquareplusc: I have no idea how to do that, and I am into my 9th hour of trying to get this to work. I am thinking I may be better off just starting all over again, I got pretty good at that with windows :/ [04:13] tsuna27, to verify you have a good copy [04:13] adam7: Well I tried both. I am BRAND new to Linux, so tinkered and couldn't get any variations to work. [04:13] Thanatoast: heh. well "dmesg | less" in a terminal window. did you look at that output? [04:13] adam7: Are ~ and /home/myusername not identical? [04:14] Off topic -- but why is my user name always in use [04:14] pentaside, I know exactly how you feel! [04:14] bullgard4: they aren't when the command is run as root [04:14] jack_sparrow:yes on the disk it had an option 2 check and it all worked out [04:14] adam7: Someone else said I shouldn't have "sudo" in there either. Do you agree? [04:14] tsuna27, are you trying to install on a dell or hp? [04:14] pentaside: you don't need sudo either [04:14] adam7: What will ~ resolve to when I use it as root? [04:14] kevdog_: did you register that name? maybe someone else is it using [04:14] jack_sparrow: it is a sony vaio [04:14] bullgard4: /root -- in this case we need it to be /home/username/something === fr0gina is now known as frr [04:15] adam7: Ok...

[04:15] (XChat) [04:15] ~ and /home/username are always identical [04:15] tsuna27, To get live cd to run this often helps..At start or install press F6 and remove Quiet and Splash from the command line.

Then I tried to move it to my desktop, same thing happened. So I changed the permissions of the archive from root, to me, and I'm still getting permission denied. That's going on? [04:17] zsquareplusc, YEs, because it is setup that way from our repos,. [04:17] Thanks, found it [04:17] n2diy: what's the path to that file?

Thanks man. === Mike_92 is now known as Mike9022 [04:18] zsquareplusc, You can set it to any channel server you like. It is just a client..

[04:19] Munchkinguy: The theme is back to normal, thanks for your help. :) [04:19] is there anything in ubuntu to check what hardware is attached? kinda like the device manager in windows [04:19] zsquareplusc: nvidia: module license "NVIDIA" taints kernel. [04:19] Thanatoast: ah yea. but it would contain error messages when a driver fails to load. [04:19] Adam7 my home directory, which contains the file also. [04:19] I know you all already know this, but even from a complete newbs perspective... Ubuntu trumps Windows. [04:19] n2diy: ok -- run ls -ahl ~/nameoffile and post that line here [04:19] GodfatherofEire1: I can't find that in synaptic... am I just blind? [04:19] I'm so glad I switched. [04:20] adam7, correction, the archive is in /home [04:20] Thanatoast: yup. that's beacuse it's loading the proprietary version of the nvidia xorg driver got that here too [04:20] Circs, its listed as gpaint in synaptic [04:20] zsquareplusc: That's about it. I have no idea what else to do other than backup and reinstall (My wife's pretty pissed that I spent all this time "playing" with the computer) [04:20] GodfatherofEire1: Thank you :) [04:20] Circs.

Have a good evening. [04:21] * Thanatoast - you get that but she only will understand that it works when she wants [04:21] Thanatoast: sometimes booting the livecd and look at/copy configs from there can also help. i.e. if live cd has sound you could find out which driver is loade for sound === kevdog_ is now known as kevdog [04:21] I am running Compiz with the default Human metacity theme.

[04:28] ok, I want sudo [04:29] !sudo > rhett` [04:29] rhett`, please see my private message [04:29] ravengirl: did you run sudo dpkg --configure -a in the terminal? [04:29] ravengirl: what update manager and what are you trying to update -- need more detail [04:29] ok the card is listed in lshw [04:29] Jack_Sparrow, http://paste.ubuntu.com/94073/ [04:29] what is the proper line in /etc/sudoers? [04:29] rhett`: sudo is not the same as su [04:29] adam7 - will do [04:29] r34p3rex: What driver are you using and is it assigned a logical name? [04:29] so if i've installed tightvnc server do i need to start a service/program or anything to use a viewer from another machine? [04:29] username ALL = ALL doesn't work [04:30] I installed a package, but am given no provisions for launching it, how do I go about using it? (Package in question is kismet) [04:30] adam7, That worked, thanks! But I don't understand why I had to alt-F2 gksudo nautilus? Shouldn't that work from any terminal? [04:30] rhett`, are you trying to edit sudoers? [04:30] i cannot hit port 5900,01,02 [04:30] yes, Jack_Sparrow: [04:30] n2diy: you can gksudo nautilus from a terminal too, it doesn' tmatter [04:30] rhett`: use visudo, first off [04:30] i remember using the STA driver from the proprietary driver thing, but it lists it as driver=b43-pci-bridge under lshw [04:30] and theres no logical name assigned to it [04:30] rhett`: and secondly, the your sudo password is the same as your login password [04:30] ok the mouse i have uses Microsoft SerialV protocol. will it work [04:30] yeah, adam7: I'm using that [04:31] !hardware > MellowDude, [04:31] adam7, It didn't work from the terminal, until I did tha alt-F2!? [04:31] i'm saying, I have : user ALL = ALL in /etc/sudoers and sudo doesn't work, but su does [04:31] kevdog - ubuntu 8.04 [04:31] hello,everybody [04:31] rhett`: try user ALL=(ALL) ALL [04:31] r34p3rex: STA driver -- do you know the exact name of the STA driver -- I know for a fact its not b43-pci-bridge [04:32] ravengirl: OK -- what package are you trying to update? [04:32] Jack_Sparrow, do you have any ideas to why my CPU is reading so much usage ? [04:32] ravengirl: you tried sudo aptitude update && sudo aptitude safe-upgrade [04:32] Firky, You are getting two different reading so how are you sure it really is eating up cpu [04:33] Firky: I suggest you installing the package htop and then running the command htop as root (or with sudo). It will allow you to sort process better than top. [04:33] kevdog, yea it shouldn't be, there is an option to install the b43 driver in system->administration->hardware drivers, the STA driver is activated however, and there is no name except Broadcom STA wireless driver [04:33] r34p3rex: Have you check the forums -- ayuitha has some really good info on the STA driver posted [04:33] that didnt help none the only thing about muse in that was about wireless mouse [04:33] Filesystem Hierarchy Standard: "Generally, source should not be built within this hierarchy." I do not understand what this wants to tell. Where should I download and place source code in my Ubuntu computer? [04:33] Firky: so you'll see what is truly consuming your CPU [04:33] suggestions for VNC to Ubuntu from Windows? tightvnc giving me hitches [04:33] Does anyone know if Intel P43 (ICH10) is working with sound with any version of ALSA or the kernel? [04:34] bullgard4: what are you trying to do? [04:34] j03lar50n, ultravnc [04:34] ty usser [04:34] bullgard4, usually your home, then install into the filesystem under /usr/local [04:34] r34p3rex: lsmod | egrep b43|bcm|b [04:34] MellowDude, We are not going to have info about a speciiiiific microsoft mouse. Just plug it in and try it. [04:34] kevdog - haven't tried much as I am new to command line [04:34] kevdog, nope i will check on that. but first, is there anyway to assign a logical name to it? i noticed its missing the name [04:34] it dont detect it [04:34] MellowDude, then you have your answer [04:35] I installed the aurora theme, and compiled with -enable-animation, and made sure I set animation to true, but when I make an animated button, it still does not show as an animation. Does anyone know how to make animated gifs show in gnome? Do I need a different engine or anything? [04:35] r34p3rex: Does that show anything. The logical name is assigned when the kernel module is registered. You don't assign one manually [04:35] just looking for commands to deal with what update manager is telling me on ubuntu 8.04 [04:35] so go back to windows then [04:35] MellowDude, and that link I gave did have speciiific info on serial mice [04:35] hi im using http://pastebin.com/d3b3f1d4b with the vloopback module and it works the first time i run it in an ubuntu session but if i try to run it again, it fails saying there is no webcam [04:35] I installed kismet but it doesn't give me a wayto launch it, did I do something wrong? [04:35] excuse my ignorance 8-) [04:35] ravengirl: Just cut and paste those into a command prompt -- its one command including the && sign. === server_ is now known as kroffe [04:35] Circs: it's a command line app, run sudo kismet at a terminal [04:35] Circs, sudo kismet ? [04:35] ok thanks, installing htop now [04:35] MellowDude, If you are going to let a $5 mouse determine what OS you use.. you might as well chose some simple os [04:35] ravengirl: sudo aptitude update && sudo aptitude safe-upgrade [04:35] Circs: also you'll probably have to configure it [04:36] cool thanks [04:36] it say to change stuff in the xorg.conf file that isnt there [04:36] kevdog, it does not show anything, when i do lsmod | egrep bcm or b43, nothing comes up. but when i do b, a list comes up but i dont see the driver listed [04:36] adam7: Oi that sounds difficult [04:36] MellowDude: then create one in /etc/X11 [04:37] Hi there folks. I'm willing to register whylinux.us or whyubuntu.com if someone will help me program the site to act as an advertising platform for Ubuntu. I just visited that Windows Mojave site--yeah, that was crap. But someone ought to speak up, get people to start making promo vids and host them on a site. [04:37] Circs: well, if you want to use kismet, that's what you gotta do. kismet something most people need [04:37] adam7: I am downloading sourcecode about the X system and putting it on my computer in order to see if it defines window snapping (or if the window manager does it). [04:37] MellowDude, the xorg changed with this release and it is different but many of the tutorials still apply [04:37] r34p3rex: Any bcm or b43 "sounding" modules listed??? [04:37] kevdog ---- Thanks [04:37] kevdog, none.. loks like its not loading anymore for some reason [04:37] !contribute > trailbrain [04:37] trailbrain, please see my private message [04:37] trailbrain: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MarketingTeam [04:37] adam7: Ok, could I ask for help configuring it? [04:37] bullgard4: good luck :/ can't you just unpack it somewhere in your home directory? or ask in the X irc channel and save yourself a lot of time [04:38] Circs: if you run the program, it will tell you what to edit. and in the file it tells you do edit, it tells you how to edit it :) [04:38] adam7: O I'll give it go [04:38] nickrud: I do not understand your answer: My home directory is not my /usr/local directory. [04:39] bullgard4, you would do the work on your source somewhere in your home dir; the standard place where make install would put the compiled program is under /usr/local [04:39] anybody know how to get animated gifs to work in gnome gtk? [04:39] How do I save my current Xchat config? [04:39] i have a probelm, i have remove wicd but ubuntu startup still will pause 1 minute at network interface configuring [04:40] r34p3rex: lsmod --- anything come up designated as wl [04:40] nautilus keeps freezing up my desktop. Can anyone recommend an alternative file browser? [04:40] n2diy, it's in ~/.xchat2 [04:40] how can i tell if tightvnc is working on my Ubuntu box? is there a service you need to start or anything? [04:40] DefamedPrawn, nautilus shoulld not do that. run it from a term and see if you can trap the error [04:41] kevdog yup.. wl .. used by 0 [04:41] DefamedPrawn, the terminal? Midnight Commander? [04:41] Jack_Sparrow it's only happened twice. Might not catch it again. [04:41] r34p3rex: from my understanding wl is the STA module [04:41] n2diy will try MC thanks. [04:41] DefamedPrawn, I use thunar .. [04:41] Ok read over the marketing team stuff and that still doesn't give me someone with the geekyness to program the site [04:41] i have a probelm, i have remove wicd but ubuntu startup still will pause 1 minute at network interface configuring [04:41] Nickrud, fine business, but how do I _save_ my current config? [04:42] trailbrain: you might post a message to the mailing list [04:42] DefamedPrawn, roger on MC [04:42] Jack_Sparrow ta. How would I make thunar default? [04:42] n2diy, any change you make is written to that dir at the time you make it. you can back up that dir if you want to save the config (like move to another machine) [04:42] kevdog, hmm when i did lshow -C network .. it didn't show the driver as wl.. but b43-pci-bridge.. is it loading the wrong driver? [04:42] r34p3rex: what happens when you do a sudo rmmod wl && sudo modprobe wl [04:43] help i cant use the internet anymore, i cant make any outgoing connections after i was fooling around with pptpd vpn and iptables.... afaik i did this command Set This To Your Firewall: iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -s 10.8.0.0/24 -j SNAT --to-source 64.235.47.2. Where 10.8.0.0 is your NAT and 64.235.47.2 is your public IP.) [04:43] adam7: The question is not if I cannot unpack it somewhere in my home directory. Of course I can. Firstly, this would be impractical as my home directory is already now very large. Adding all sourcecode to it would make it even larger and even less lucid. Secondly I would like to act according to the rules so that I can retrieve information easily. Thirdly, I still would like to know what the authors of the File Hierarchy Standard ... [04:43] what might I need that is not in your basic build tools to make a debug build from source code? [04:43] n2diy, unless you used sudo xchat at some time in the past; that would fubar the config [04:43] ... intended to say in the sentence which I cited. [04:43] r34p3rex: Sorry do these sets of commands first: sudo rmmod ndiswrapper b43 ssb bcm43xx b43legacy [04:44] bullgard4, they mean you should not do source compiling in one of their named dirs. You could, for example, create a new dir /mysourcework, which is 'outside' the fhs [04:44] nickrud: Ah, understood you now. Thank you very much for explaining. [04:44] kevdog: it says all 4 do not exist in /proc/modules [04:44] Nickrud, ok, in Dapper I used to be able to save the channels I was connected to, and when xchat restarted, the would reconnect, but I can't find that option now. I wouldn't run Xchat as root.

[04:46] n2diy, xchat, server list, edit and add them in [04:46] I need the kernel module, can't find it.

If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [04:47] nickrud, Jack_Sparrow thanks guys, got it. In Dapper I could right click on the server, and add the channels to be loaded, now I have to do it manually!? [04:48] ok thanks for your comment [04:48] n2diy, as best I know [04:48] this is so confsing [04:48] kevdog - yea didn't work.. lspci -nnm shows..

[04:50] kevdog - what bothers me is that it was working just before and then after a restart it dissapeared o.o i'm thinking is something to do with the b43-pci-bridge driver being loaded instead of wl [04:50] ok [04:50] Jack_Sparrow, why would it do that ? [04:51] !pm > trailbrain [04:51] trailbrain, please see my private message [04:51] In Evolution Mail an item waiting to be sent in the outbox of "On This Computer" isn't ever sent when connected. Why isn't it being sent? [04:51] r34p3rex: I think you have identified the problem exactly --- The question is what is the competing module -- Do you have a b44 card or something? [04:51] Firky, Easy to understand if it was tracker [04:51] n2diy, try settings->preferences -> channel switcher, and change type to tabs. They'll be on the bottom [04:51] oh ok [04:51] thanks [04:51] np [04:52] jack.. i installed ubuntu... bt i found out i can install other desktops while running ubuntu. for example kubuntu-desktop [04:52] my problem is [04:52] tsrk: Most likely, because you have not established a connection to your mail provider. [04:52] when i log in... it says no resume image [04:52] rrg, I asked you to keep it on one line.. When you break it up by pressing enter it makes it hard for the people helping you [04:52] bullgard4, I have it setup and I can send/receive mail fine when it's in my account folders, just not "On This Computer" folders [04:52] what's good out there [04:52] hi [04:53] r34p3rex: its a lot easier for me at least to troubleshoot this using the forums where I can post multiple lines of code [04:53] Nickrud, ok, got that, but no "add to favorites option"? [04:53] ok. i get no resume image at log-in [04:53] rrg, What version of ubuntu are you running and how did you install the other desktops [04:53] kevdog - nope, i had a atheros 5008 based card that was working fine in parallel, but i have since removed it and it still doesn't work [04:53] n2diy, now, right click the tab? [04:53] the latest. 8.10 i believe. i used... terminal Jack [04:54] i installed apache2 how do i activate it [04:54] hi all... i'm using intrepid. suspend used to work fine for me , but once when i was resuming from suspend i accidentally pressed the shutdown button! so instead of resuming the system shutdown.... the problem now is that i dont seem to be able to get suspend to work... has the abrupt shutdown messed with my swap? how do i resolve this?

[05:16] is that possible [05:16] 8.10* [05:16] Stargazer, yup [05:16] would 25gigs be allright for this os for apps? [05:16] hello2343, that is the default. [05:16] tux9778, base install is ~4.6gb. [05:17] have you had any random freezes(in which case CLI is impossible) ? @stan. [05:17] !enter | hello2343 [05:17] hello2343: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [05:17] Stargazer, never.

[05:17] leon: that's fine -- it's just a meta-package [05:17] Stargazer, I have Ubuntu 8.04 LTS on ~ 20 64bit servers (running the 64bit version of ubuntu) w/ 32gb ram and according to my logs... none have unscheduled downtime [05:18] stan, i'm getting a heavy amount of random freezes in which CLI is impossible... i'm on an MC7801u Gateway. [05:18] I ubuntu image on fat32 , I want it to install it and boot it from virtual machine [05:18] sorry , but from windows xp [05:18] hello2343, ubuntu's default installation scheme is ext3 .. infact im not sure its possible to use anything else. [05:19] Stargazer, Do you want me to suggest the problem? :). [05:19] tritium, desktop package were dependenced by many package is a not good idea:) [05:19] kevdog, shoudl i restart after all that? === keres is now known as keres`zZz [05:19] still nothing on the mouse cant get it to work try every thing u told me nothing [05:19] hello2343, you need to seek help from winodws if that is the host to your vm [05:19] is there a linux that auto detects serial mouse or they r not any at all [05:19] stan, are you saying i should open a bug on launchpad ? [05:19] MellowDude, serial mice are not 'auto detectable' [05:19] MellowDude, an old knoppix disk might [05:20] my ubunto box powers on same time every day. i don't want it to! can anyone help with power mgt, acpi? [05:20] Stargazer, im suggesting its a hardware issue. [05:20] leon: yes, it is a good idea, as it ensures that a consistent set of packages is installed during installation. This is for consistency and uniformity, which is essential for support. [05:20] pippo: its your bios. [05:20] pippo, check bios settings, [05:20] is there any GUI way to setup a bluetooth headphone/headset in Ubuntu? [05:20] even xubuntu dont [05:20] stan, any way i could solve this ? everything on this laptop is intel. [05:20] i read on the fourm that [05:20] :( [05:20] stargazer: call gateway support? [05:20] k [05:21] stan, i don't think they support linux OSes. :< [05:21] i know the mouse work because it work in windows [05:21] stan: You search advice got better results than my method, thanks [05:21] kevdog - awesome! it worked! thanks a bunch :D [05:21] Circs, welcome. for my info -- did you find one? [05:21] I don't like windows ,but I'm at work ,some times I need some windows only program, ubuntu is my default system but at work I cant use it and do my job perfectly. I just want to use the existing ubuntu which is on ext3 by the virtual machine running on xp [05:21] hey everyone [05:21] hey ive downloaded java and flash player but i dont know how to install them? [05:21] Stargazer, does the issue present itself with ia32 build? [05:22] tritium, thank you. i use ubuntu to dev my app 2 year. ubunut is great desktop suite. c u next time. [05:22] im kinda in a situation with my new usb midi keyboard [05:22] how do I change my screen resolution?

[05:22] leon: take care [05:22] it didnt work on windows (driver failure) so i wanna see if it will work in ubuntu before i return it [05:22] pippo: your bios has a power-on time seperate from power management. i promise you 100% its a bios setting. [05:22] stan, i wouldn't know. i tried to use a 32bit version ubuntu at first becuase i didn't know about the 64bit thing. :P [05:22] onlything is, i dunno how to get jack or alsa to detect it [05:23] Stargazer, how much ram do you have in your lappy? [05:23] I heard I can boot existing xp from ubuntu , is that possible from windows to boot existing ubuntu? [05:23] thanks stan [05:23] stan: Umm kind of, it wants me to patch libraries and such. Sounds like a learning exerience... [05:23] stan, i have 3.7GB. [05:23] Stargazer, then you dont need ubuntu 64bit [05:23] ?? [05:23] Theres no difference between 32 and 64bit if you dont have >4gb ram [05:24] kevdog, thanks again! [05:24] the reason is that I want to run ubuntu as good as native install [05:24] stan: wouldn't 3.7GB suggest Stargazer has 4GB? [05:24] well format and fresh install it the [05:24] trentlemon 4gb isnt > 4gb. [05:24] stan, it's 2, 2GB ram cards. [05:24] Stargazer: are you getting this 3.7GB number from windows? [05:24] stan: there is no such thing as 3.7GB of ram [05:24] Please any susgestions would be great , i'm trying to get ati drivers installed, and i goto insmod the fglrx.ko and i get cant allocate memory error. http://pastebin.com/m486758f9 [05:25] trentlemon sure there is.. its 4gb with 256 for onboard video. [05:25] ok no fix [05:25] thanks [05:25] stan: he just said 2x2GB [05:25] trentlemon: i'm getting it from System Monitor. [05:25] ... anyone know anything about USB midi devices? [05:25] Stargazer: unless you have *over* 4gb of ram there is no advantage to a 64bit os. [05:25] stan: my mistake if that is the case [05:26] if it is indeed onboard video [05:26] How do i write history command to a text file in terminal? [05:26] CoUrPsE|DeAd how r u trying to install it [05:26] trentlemon, 4gb isnt MORE than 4 gb :). [05:26] stan, then how come i can't even use ubuntu 32bit on this machine ? [05:26] iluminator101, logout, login, cat .bash_history [05:26] stan: funny how no one listens to that isn't it? [05:26] stan: right, but you technically can't use UP to 4gb if you're running a 32-bit [05:26] Stargazer: What happens when you try to install Ubuntu 32 bit? [05:26] I'm following a guide from help.ubuntu.com [05:26] iluminator101: history > my-hist.txt [05:26] ah thanks guys [05:27] trentlemon: Im not going to argue with you, but go enter 2^32 into a calculator [05:27] !ati [05:27] For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [05:27] stan, when i use the livecd it's just a load of horizontal lines... and a square of lines that i think is my pointer. [05:27] Jack_Sparrow, Thats what im trying to follow. [05:27] is the latest ghc in ubuntu's apt 6.6.1? [05:27] CoUrPsE|DeAd, not everything in the forums is an acceptable solution [05:27] I can't get it to upgrade [05:27] Stargazer, use the 32bit cd, do atext install. [05:27] CoUrPsE|DeAd, Good... [05:27] Stargazer, it should pickup the correct video card mode after install. [05:28] To get live cd to run this often helps..At start or install press F6 and remove Quiet and Splash from the command line. If it still fails.. Repeat and after removing quiet and splash add noapic acpi=off before the "--".. [05:28] It tells me to do: sudo insmod /lib/modules/`uname -r`/volatile/fglrx.ko and i get error that it doesnt exist. [05:28] so i try to use insmod to /lib/modules/'uname -r'/updates/fglrx/fglrx.ko which iexists, and it says cant allocate memory.

I'm running it on a VPS [05:32] pumpkin: better do a fresh install on 8.10 rather than multiple upgrade path [05:32] bobthefish, what midi interface are you using? [05:32] i am hoping my mmc/sd card is auto detected on interpid, i had to play with it in hardy to get it go work [05:32] ubottu: tell pumpkin about upgrade [05:32] pumpkin, please see my private message [05:32] thanks :) [05:33] tritium: wow we can tell ubotu to do that? cool [05:33] ari_stress: yes [05:33] Stan: keyboard or audio kit? keyboard is m-audio keystation, audio device, i have ALSA, jack, and OSS installed [05:33] hey guys anyone here have any ideas how to play a dvd iso that i made with k3b [05:33] audio software rather [05:33] bobthefish: I saw rosegarden being used for a midi keyboard [05:33] Can you rar any file or do you have dump into a folder before you can rar it?

[05:46] if u cant find a answer in here look on the ubuntu fourm or google is pretty good some times [05:46] dingle88, i read your second question; which showed that your first question was a waste of time; so subsequent questions most likely are as well. [05:46] dont bash the people in here because they only know so much [05:47] i have a question far as installing ubuntu with vista. is there anything special i need to do to have it boot both cause i know in the past it wouldn't boot vista properly [05:47] zaine, do you have any OS installed yet? [05:47] vista [05:47] lol [05:47] came preinstalled [05:47] zaine, do you have any free space for ubuntu? [05:47] yes.

[05:47] stan: my first question proved looks to be a bitch to do, so i asked a second way to do it [05:47] partitioned. [05:47] im saying from as the bootloader [05:47] zaine: the installer can partition for you. No need to do that in advance. [05:47] stick disk in while vista is running and take install with in windows [05:48] when its done reboot and pick the os u want to boot from [05:48] dingle88: it still doesn't justify your manners (or lack of) [05:48] errr.. thats a weird install compared to what im use to [05:48] zaine, http://apcmag.com/how_to_dualboot_vista_with_linux_vista_installed_first.htm [05:48] i apologize [05:49] its as easy as that zaine [05:49] stan; ive been reading that it is no longer needed. this true?

[05:52] !offtopic | sfer21 [05:52] sfer21: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [05:53] <[r94> a calendar, current time, and a button that says, "set system time" [05:53] zaine: it was veering off-topic with dingle88's discussion. [05:53] isn't there an option for time servers under set system time, [r94? [05:53] <[r94> no sir [05:54] i really wonder how decent ubuntu is going to run on here now i have good enough hardware now [05:54] it run great [05:54] <[r94> could my router be blocking it maybe? does that make any sense? [05:55] [r94, its prob a bad config [05:55] so does anyone know of a package that i can use so that when i press a certain key on the keyboard it acts like the shift hey had been pressed? [05:55] [r94, on your machine. [05:55] any difference between the x64 and 32 bit [05:55] zaine, no [05:55] not at all really [05:55] <[r94> stan i have the same problem on 2 machines [05:55] zaine, one is 32bit, one is 64 bit? [05:55] is there any way to keep my title bar from dissapearing when i open firfox [05:55] i have a little evo d510 sff with 251 gig hd 512ram and a chipset and it runs great [05:55] performance wise [05:55] <[r94> 2 different installation cds [05:55] MellowDude, i have one of those.. is your power supply fan loud as poop? [05:55] not that i've noticed [05:55] roger that. [05:55] nope u can tell mines on [05:55] poop hehehe [05:56] hey guys [05:56] no real difference between x86 and x64 [05:56] j800r: there are [05:56] MellowDude, I have 3 and they sound like vaccums [05:56] MellowDude, ah. mine are USFF [05:56] anyone know of a light weight, easy, gui, text editor? [05:56] should i really take the plunge and do x64 or stay on 32bit [05:56] dang replace the fans then [05:56] dickerson; vi [05:56] <[r94> stan [05:56] zaine, if you have over 4gb ram go 64bit. OTherwise 32bit. [05:56] zaine: I saw earlier a guy with 4gig ram and he was told all 4 gig is available with 64 bit [05:56] ee [05:56] joe [05:56] <[r94> stan pls help! [05:56] well [05:56] zaine: unless you absolulely need 64 bit for, say, > 3GB RAM, no need for it. [05:56] moo: ram: 1108/2939.3MB (37.68%) [||||------] [05:56] [r94, your network is borked. [05:56] is that a problem? [05:57] I've hardly ever taken the time to learn vi [05:57] tritium, not that i've noticed [05:57] I just want to be able to copy past easily [05:57] ya, it reads more ram [05:57] that's about it [05:57] ffffffffff is it normal that nothing in eeebuntu actualy works on eeepcs? [05:57] j800r: not in performance, no. However, the binaries *are* different [05:57] will 32bit see all my ram? [05:57] severin this isnt a eeebuntu support channel [05:57] zaine, yes. you need to do something to enable it though. [05:57] is there any way to keep my title bar from dissapearing when i open firfox [05:57] but i think he was talking about a difference you can see [05:57] should i just get x64 then [05:57] so where do i find one [05:58] zaine, sure, if it makes my life easier. [05:58] zaine: I would not for the reasons I stated above [05:58] are core 2 duo's 64 bit? [05:58] dingle88, no [05:58] dingle88: yes [05:58] dingle88, some are -- some arent. [05:58] what reason exactly [05:58] zaine: see above [05:58] the ram tritium? [05:58] u get better performance out of 64bit [05:58] well, that was confusing [05:58] zaine: yes [05:58] MellowDude, incorrect. [05:58] MellowDude: no, you don't [05:59] i do on my laptop [05:59] <[r94> stan how do i fix it? [05:59] MellowDude: no, you don't [05:59] how are the binaries so different? [05:59] dingle88: if you dont know the architecture of your CPU just get X86 i have X64 and i dont know any differences yet [05:59] [r94, call your ISP or router manufacturer. [05:59] i know i do [05:59] i have x86 [05:59] MellowDude: there are no performance gains on 64 bit vs. 32 bit [05:59] oh [05:59] dingle88, 99% of the world does :D [05:59] Not even for you, MellowDude ;) [05:59] tritium: yet [06:00] it seems to me it is [06:00] tritium; how are the binaries different [06:00] stan: i have other hardware besides this [06:00] MellowDude: it is your perception, and it is incorrect [06:00] like a sparc [06:00] vax [06:00] etc [06:00] ... [06:00] zaine: the are compiled for different architectures [06:00] dingle88, congrats. Thats why I said 99% [06:00] hey guys you gave me that mount command [06:00] how do i unmount from that location? [06:00] zaine: in the past, there was no 64-bit flash, as another example [06:00] man, terminal will not load on this livecd [06:00] umount [06:01] so x64 if i dont want to have to yank around with trying to enable my ram [06:01] smokeymirror: umount /directory [06:01] thanks [06:01] or maybe sudo umount directory [06:01] zaine: no, I'm suggesting 32-bit [06:01] ok [06:01] how do i go about enabling my ram then [06:01] kernel recompile? [06:01] zaine, do you NEED more than 3gb? [06:01] your ram? [06:01] zaine: how much RAM do you have? [06:01] wtf [06:01] 3gigs [06:02] is notepad++ available? [06:02] it all show up ur ram [06:02] zaine: 32-bit can use all 3 GB [06:02] i have 3gb of ram in this notebook and it works [06:02] with it all [06:02] roger. i just want something a little faster than vista and less buggy [06:02] zaine: free -m will show you how your ram is [06:02] vista has a lot of issues far as aero and gui [06:02] hi, whats th SD in SD card ? [06:03] qcjn: Secure Digital [06:03] not really ubuntu related, but hey [06:03] sfer21: thanks [06:04] i really thought about going gentoo with this laptop but my last experience with gentoo and wireless cards didn't go over too well [06:04] and it only gets worse going to laptops with gentoo [06:04] so i think ubuntu is my answer [06:05] so ubuntu runs nice on core duos? [06:05] zaine: absolutely [06:05] hey there everyone [06:05] :| [06:05] zaine Ubunutu has come a long way especially since it's early versions i have found that with it's versions 8.04 on it has been very stable thus far and is absolutely [06:06] happy with most hardware available now [06:06] nevermind xkeycaps is a graphical mod to xmodmap and it changes the mapping of single keys [06:06] so has gentoo [06:06] what about wifi? [06:06] anybody here familiar with ubuntu studio? [06:06] but not as far joot and i will always use ubuntu over gentoo after having many an issue with it relating back to hardware [06:07] upgrade on heron broke lirc [06:07] ok i cant get divx movies to play on the web and i have my gstreamers installed [06:07] !restriced [06:07] Sorry, I don't know anything about restriced [06:07] <[r94> is this a safe command everyone? >> /sbin/hwclock --directisa --utc --hctosys --noadjfile [06:07] !gentoo [06:07] Other !Linux distributions besides !Ubuntu include: Debian, Mepis (using !APT); RedHat, Fedora, SUSE, Mandriva (using !RPM); Gentoo, Slackware (using other packaging systems) [06:08] I'm an idiot.

[06:11] it's growing more and more different from debian, i hope/presume? [06:11] only because for the love of me i couldn't get my head around the fedora based systems perhaps i'm just weird lol [06:11] progex is good [06:11] yeah streaming movies yes [06:11] not downloading them [06:11] fedora is awful [06:11] ice_cream: each release is based on a snapshot of debian testing [06:11] least from my last experience [06:11] <[r94> where do you find good streaming movies [06:11] i do agree zaine [06:11] really [06:11] whats the best way to remote connect to my current x session?

[06:14] that makes me uneasy [06:14] joot - I have started a new system of things where by i upgrade yearly so i don't have too many problems there but my old machine then gets added to my server inventory so as not to lose the data [06:14] ice_cream: it shouldn't [06:14] hey [06:14] tritium, do you have a link to back that up? [06:14] how can i install PDF reader in hardy [06:14] tomboy notes is great. [06:15] <[r94> exodus_MS: im trying to set my system clock to utc [06:15] robertmanietta: Good plan hoping to emulate your idea.. [06:15] ice_cream: not handy, but you can Google [06:15] [r94, can you not click on your clock on the panel and set it that way? [06:15] ice_cream: it's how the development cycle has always been [06:15] AV1: install Okular [06:15] <[r94> nope, it wont let me. could you help me with that? [06:15] well i have 2 pc's now full of movies and things i've copied for backup purposes of course so i'll always want to be able to pull them back [06:16] wikipedia does not specifically mention release based on debian [06:16] Okular is nice [06:16] [r94 hold on i get info for u ok [06:16] ice_cream: ubuntu most certainly is [06:16] grub bootloader is ubuntu related right? [06:16] Av1; I thought there is a default reader in hardy [06:16] and all this time i was under the impression that ubuntu was a derivative, and then went its own way with its own team [06:16] <[r94> ok [06:16] thanks Ben [06:16] !grub [06:16] GRUB is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - GRUB how-tos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto [06:16] noob question here, how well does an 8800gt work with ubuntu? are the nvidia drivers still pretty bad?

[06:18] {r94 try it like this but ur time and date and stuff [06:18] sudo date "Tue Sep 19 22:06:21 GMT 2006" [06:18] so would compiz fusion's desktop effects work better with my 8800gt desktop compared to my laptop that has only integrated graphics? [06:18] kroffe, SORRY My Bad .................:-(((( [06:18] joot it okey i need some answers. [06:18] noswears: what kind of integrated graphics? [06:18] erm [06:18] quick question, anyone know where the gnome error log is kept? [06:19] 945gm i think [06:19] so crap [06:19] var/log? [06:19] Set_ de ponybeffer [06:19] gdm, i guess it would be under in there? [06:20] could be [06:20] noswears: sure, I guess it'll be faster then. the 965 is more than enough for compiz, but the 945 is perhaps a bit less than ideal [06:20] anybody know about grub i have a complex problem [06:20] the 8800's can be a bit to setup but should outperform that onboard intel [06:21] joot do u know if there are any good ftp servers for linux? [06:21] tritium, yea, i guess that explains it, but it's development, not testing [06:21] Got a network camera recently that logs into my FTP server and tries to upload to a date-based directory without creating it first- anyone know how to make vsftpd accept this, or a FTP server that will allow it? [06:21] kroffe, I do not know servers sorry [06:21] ice_cream: no, you misunderstand [06:21] ! ftp server [06:21] FTP servers: ftpd, proftpd, pure-ftpd, twoftpd, vsftpd, MuddleFTPd, wzdftpd - Graphical front-ends: PureAdmin, GProftpd (for GNOME), KcmPureftpd (for !KDE) - See also !FTP [06:21] anyone that knows about servers?!?!?!? [06:22] I strained to use different techniques to install ubuntu 8.04 on a maxtor one touch 4 500gb usb hardrive, upgraded to ubuntu studio 8.10 using repositories (no dvd burner currently) because unetbootinstaller didnt work. [06:22] can i use my ubuntu server like a ftp server? YES [06:22] kroffe, what about those one I ask the bot for??? [06:22] ice_cream: debian's development release *is* called "testing" [06:22] I am trying to set up grub on that harddrive as opposed to the main harddrive so i need to ... [06:22] kroffe, you could run a script to make the date dir each day. [06:23] hi [06:23] tell me how to do? [06:23] tritium: technically, I think ubuntu imports from unstable, not that they're all that different most of the time [06:23] aaand i am still having my issue with gnome. it's getting really frustrating. as soon as i log in, it does the normal stuff for a few seconds, displays a terminal and then returns me to the login screen... but kde is fine! can anyone help me? [06:23] 1. put windows recovery console option on grub and install grub on the 500gb usb drive because it will not be used on that computer 2. use recovery console to fixboot and fix mbr [06:23] dose intel gm45 supports opengl2.0 ? [06:23] in ubuntu [06:23] anyone have any ideas? [06:24] hi [06:24] Kroffe do you want secure ftp and is it ftp you need or is this server local? [06:24] tritium, ah, they only have stable + testing, ok. i had thought dev was not a public branch that later turned into testing, thx [06:24] what are you dong ? [06:24] secure ftp [06:25] running 8.10 amd64 with pidgin 2.5.2-0ubuntu1 and it keeps freezing, the window just goes black whenever i try to send a message, cant find a log on it or anything [06:25] thank you [06:25] er public is the wrong word there, but you get my meaning [06:25] ice_cream: they have several [06:25] crdlb: you are correct [06:26] k my suggestion is to check out falko's how to on how to forge.com ok he has in depth how to for a web server on most operating systems that are highly secure just jump ahead to the section on FTP SETUP [06:26] it wont take long and it will all be up and working they are written as a copy and paste tutorial [06:26] ice_cream: technically, it's debian's "unstable" branch, not "testing" [06:26] * http://howtoforge.com [06:27] upgrade broke lirc [06:27] Does anyone know how i can configure wireless for Acer WLMI laptop [06:27] ice_cream: there are stable, testing, unstable and experimental [06:27] ice_cream: debian has stable, testing, and unstable [06:27] fstxx: which upgrade? [06:28] well it's time for something new anyway [06:28] I run 8.04, just the standard update manager routinie [06:28] ice_cream: ? [06:28] nevermind, i forgot my sound card doesnt work, disabled sound and pidgin works now [06:29] I'm new to linux and I'm having problems installing programs that I download with the file type tar.gz [06:29] stable is (currently) etch, testing is lenny, and ustable is always sid [06:29] next format it'll be a different distro on my laptop [06:29] ice_cream: why? [06:29] Cadman21, you need to compile those, whatever you are getting isnt available in the repos? [06:29] Cadman21, what are you trying to install? [06:29] ce__ndut_butuh_temen [06:29] Cadman21, It is way better to stick to the repositories and not go grabbing things off the web [06:29] lifeograph [06:29] Cadman21, the easy way is to install using synaptic [06:30] I just need a program like that [06:30] tritium, i've used ubuntu long enough, and i've been leaning more and more towards source-based distros [06:30] i've done my time, so to speak [06:30] cadman21, tar -xvzf filename.tar.gz will open the archieve [06:30] Cadman21, for things you want that are not in the repos you need to compile them yourself.. and it is strongly suggested you have a backup of your working system prior to doing thhat sort of thing [06:30] my uneasiness also has some concrete reasons [06:30] ce_bth_duit_smg: ??? [06:30] ice_cream: ubuntu is built from source, obviously. Source packages are readily available. [06:30] then ./config will config, followed by make, then sudo make install [06:31] hey everyone [06:31] ok [06:31] have another question [06:31] jack wont start [06:31] i get an error [06:31] "give them ALSA: Cannot open PCM device alsa_pcm for playback.

[06:32] tritium: have you tried to use the source packages? say to recompile with symbols, find a bug, fix it, make a new package that the package system will prefer to the standrad one? [06:32] tritium, i'm also a minimalist, and there's always a bunch of bulk i have to keep in check, and it's especially difficult with upgrading to latest releases [06:33] Cadman21, you'll download a .deb file, run: sudo dpkg -i xxxxxx.deb [06:33] fstxx: yes, many times [06:33] joot: she's looking for someone [06:33] AMDMutant: ROFLMAO..............

[06:34] when did they add that in there [06:35] Cadman21, hmm i may be wrong, i logged in and its asking for a source file, for jaunty too [06:35] so you may need to actually compile it [06:35] hey i dont know how to enable java can someone help me please [06:35] !java [06:36] 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 [06:36] !compile | Cadman21 [06:36] Cadman21: Compiling software from source?

[06:46] CoUrPsE|DeAd: As a last resort, you can attempt to use the open drivers (which will work when you install ubuntu with that card) by running any uninstall script in /usr/share/ati, removing all fglrx packages and deleting xorg.conf file (as long as you're using Intrepid) [06:46] then press ctrl+h [06:46] then go to .config === potwak is now known as BilatNimo [06:47] then open up monitors.xml [06:47] Because i don't have another [06:47] then edit the width and height to what youwant [06:47] sin-o di kabalo mag ilonggo?

[07:25] BilatNimo, you're not going to find the mp3 libraries on there you'll need to play your music on the CD, easiest way is to get an internet connection [07:25] leon: Unmount this partition and then use GParted. [07:25] stan: please, i am not cheap, i just don't want to waste time and with it money. [07:25] how do i run a program i haved downloded in terminal joot? [07:25] nathanhelp, 810 [07:26] ZupZupper: yeah. completely no network/internet connection. maybe, i could just download installer files then save on a thumb drive then transfer it to my ubuntu computer. [07:26] betapi, then go buy a dell w/ linux preinstalled. [07:26] kroffe, what was the program? [07:26] this is all through ssh AMDMutant [07:26] bullgard4, ??? unmount my home on the part! [07:26] kroffe, type its name [07:26] betapi, I would suggest the Dell Mini 9 if your looking for a netbook. [07:26] bullgard4, ??? unmount? my home on the part! [07:26] Templar: But is it possible to code on Ubuntu, because I know they have programs like Wine [07:26] pureadmin [07:26] They're cheap in the Dell outlet [07:26] BilatNimo: oh I think you are looking for dpkg [07:26] stan: ok. what if it messes up? would i order a new one? i don't have the money to pay for a new copy of ubuntu [07:26] BilatNimo: Try 'man dpkg' see if that helps you out. [07:26] Photoguy: is it reliable and cheap? [07:26] Aussieguy make a rule [07:26] betapi, are you being a troll on purpose? you would do the same thing you do if windows screws up, you toss in the restore cd. [07:26] leon: I do not understand your message. Please use Standard English. [07:26] betapi: copies of ubuntu don't cost anything, you typical windows user. [07:27] kroffe, type its name in the terminal if that not work put percent sign in front [07:27] Ezro: It's certainly is possible to code on linux. Like i said, finding the right program is the hard part. [07:27] betapti Yeah, form what I've heard it's one of the best [07:27] Ezro: Wine is to ubuntu what Parallels is to Mac (Not really but same idea) [07:27] sfer21: no, windows costs more money than ubuntu, but that does not mean ubuntu is free. i just don't have the money to pay to fix it. [07:27] I don't know about Macs xD [07:27] hey does anyone know how to get ventrilo on here? [07:27] Templar_Xion: yeah, i'm looking for dpkg files. i wonder how could i download those files [07:27] betapi, no -- ubuntu is 100% absolutely free. [07:27] Ezro: The games were not recoded for Ubuntu, they were tricked to think they were running on windows in ubuntu [07:27] betapi http://mydellmini.com/ [07:27] BilatNimo, you can download the .deb files directly from the repositoreis and install them manually on your ubuntu systme [07:27] Photoguy: nice, thx [07:27] bullgard4, my home path on the partition. but i want to create a new partition from my home partition [07:27] BilatNimo, you'll just need to figure out your dependencies [07:27] It has all the specs. [07:28] betapi: were you on here this morning after buying ubuntu for $50? [07:28] sfer21, lol. [07:28] ouch [07:28] "Invalid username or password" for all accounts [07:28] betapi: if you invested time in learning about Linux, you wouldn't need to spend money to get it fixed [07:28] BilatNimo, where you located? [07:28] ZupZupper: okay. where is the repositories? [07:28] stan: ok, maybe you say it is, but my time is not 100% free. each hour is full of a potential guaranteed $25 / hr. i cannot afford to waste money on ubuntu [07:28] joot, okey. i find a grafic ftp now. all auther ftp servers was in text only :( [07:28] philippines! [07:28] virtualbox is probably better if you want to run windows programs [07:28] How do i check what driver i am using? [07:28] betapi, computers are tools. dont use linux if it doesnt work for you. use windows, or macos. [07:28] Thrashbarg: I do not pay people to fix it, I fix it myself, it's just that it costs time to do that, so it costs money [07:28] hmmm lets see... [07:28] you get a full windows install and a start menu, on the linux desktop [07:28] ZupZupper: philippines. [07:28] narzy: ssh... you use smbclient? [07:28] leon: In that case you need a Ubuntu live cd having GParted. Use this live CD for your purpose. [07:28] betapi: Not to be rude but if you feel $25/hr is a lot and cannot be wasted on learning then you may have bigger fish to fry than a free operating system [07:28] erm, how do i check what graphics driver i am using? [07:28] what is a "potential guaranteed" betapi? and mybe take this chat to the offtopic channel [07:29] kroffe, So does work for you???? [07:29] stan: windows and macos are even MORE expensive. ubuntu is the cheapest, I just can't afford to fix it [07:29] betapi: time for you to stop trolling, please [07:29] betapi: my hours are 65/h. that still means i have to learn how to use ubuntu. [07:29] CoUrPsE|DeAd: glxinfo [07:29] betapi, why are you in a linux support channel asking about costs to fix linux? [07:29] betapi: does the bios have enough function for you? [07:29] Templar_Xion: please, spare me your pity. it is the only way i can support my family [07:29] bullgard4, thank you , i got msg, . thanks all guys [07:29] in which case, its still broken, :( [07:29] joot, yes. im tryed to get a ftp server for about 15 hours and now it works =) [07:29] tritium: I think you are the winner. troll I'd have to agree. [07:29] sfer21: bios can break too [07:29] betapi: do you make money when you sleep, eat, and so on... send a bill to God? [07:29] Well Templar/Nathan: How does Ubuntu work as a server? [07:29] sudo aticonfig --initial -f returls segment fault, :( [07:30] betapi: OH NOES!!! THROW OUT TEH COMPUTER, IT CAN BREAKS AND YOU CANT AFFORD FIX IT! [07:30] Ezro: Works great, depending on what yo uwant to serve. [07:30] CoUrPsE|DeAd: You're not supposed to be using that [07:30] betapi, i have this crappy dell x300 laptop that was bluescreening in windows 20 minutes ago. My fix was to pop a cd in, go get dinner, and now it works 100% .. no configuraiton.. wireless works.. i can surf the web.. and all my work apps are installed. [07:30] Now, can we move this to offtopic? [07:30] Well I want to host an online game. [07:30] Thrashbarg: no, but I cut down on the times I allot to sleeping and eating so that I can save $ [07:30] kroffe, Good for you sorry I did not know about ftp sevrer to help you.... [07:30] betapi, what would that have 'cost me' if I had to restoer windows? [07:30] Ezro: same answer as before :) what do yo uwant to do? [07:30] Ezro: One that you coded? [07:30] Yes. [07:30] server [07:30] sfer21: i would rather sell it and get another one [07:30] betapi, 2 hrs install, 2 hrs drivers, 3 hrs windows updates? [07:30] joot, its okey. [07:30] betapi: last warning, really [07:30] stan: i am not saying windows is good. i have never used windos. it is too expensive. that is why i am looking into ubuntu, which is slightly cheaper [07:30] soreau, nothing else is working man, i tried http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Ubuntu_Intrepid_Installation_Guide [07:30] betapi: but what about the time spent selling it? that devalues your computer immediately [07:31] joot, it is good to try self sometimes [07:31] CoUrPsE|DeAd: aticonfig tries to read xorg.conf and set it to use the fglrx with options for it. You have no xorg.conf (or you shouldn't with Intrepid) [07:31] How can I save a folder that has 5,000 sub directories in it? Its a ubuntu-server not desktop, was wondering if gziping it would bebest? [07:31] betapi, you mean free? [07:31] you've just wasted $6.25 talking about this betapi [07:31] ðóäääääääääääùùùùùùùù [07:31] sfer21: yes, which is why I try to sell it fast [07:31] hello [07:31] hello [07:31] Ezro: Well. thta goes beyond the realm of my knowledge but you'd have to code in platform-generic language and not have anything requiriing windows and you should be fine, but would get complicated. [07:31] ello: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [07:31] hello [07:31] hahah. [07:31] sinbox: please, i am trying to go fast with it [07:31] BilatNimo, is Malta close? [07:31] CoUrPsE|DeAd: You're supposed to be using the open driver [07:31] ubuntu is free [07:31] kroffe, Is what I do a lot look here first then try some stuff :-)) [07:31] hello,people [07:31] ZupZupper: i don't know. what is it, anyway? [07:32] BilatNimo, it's a country [07:32] CoUrPsE|DeAd: pastebin /var/log/Xorg.0.log [07:32] Ezro: I myself do not yet know how to make a server, but my linux friend runs his entire house off ubuntu and various linux boxes. Servers are run well and last long time. === ello is now known as dashyn4ik [07:32] http://mirror.linux.org.mt/ubuntu/pool/ [07:32] malta is far [07:32] joot =) [07:32] !calltheops [07:32] Help!

[07:35] dashyn4ik, im here [07:35] ZupZupper: stay on topic, please [07:35] betapi, the 'cheapest way to fix ubuntu' is to join #Ubuntu on Freenode and ask a question, use google, or use the forum. [07:35] ) [07:35] hello,leon [07:35] ZupZupper: can you give me a good mp3 player that is available on that link you provided? [07:35] Templar_Xion: Envy can potentially break your system for the video driver installation if it fails, and such is CoUrPsE|DeAd's case it would seem [07:35] B|ackPanther: sounds like a windows driver file. Have to download windows driver for your wireless device, load it up locally and then naviate to it [07:35] :D [07:35] PEBKAC [07:35] tritium, how do you know I'm not looking for an Irish Ubuntu LUG? [07:35] hateball: most sysinfo scripts come with help this one did not. But it is loaded, I just dont know command to work it [07:36] dashyn4ik, i am here , pls talk 2 me [07:36] soreau: I've had good luck with envy. that's me. I'd suggest go to VESA do envy and see if it fixes it. [07:36] anyone have any issues with their media players closing as soon as they open the movie file? [07:36] Does the server edition of Ubuntu come with a gui, or is it all command? [07:36] soreau, I have been tryin for some time to get this going. and i've only recently tried envy, before trying envy i was also having problems. [07:36] Templar_Xion,the problem am having is the guide does not specify where to download such files. [07:36] <[[thufir]]> there's not bittorrent file for the normal ubuntu download? [07:36] what is your name [07:36] Ezro, by default it is cli. [07:36] Ezro, no gui on that one [07:36] Ezro, you can install X though. [07:36] CountryTrouserTr⚘ ah, cant help you then :/ [07:36] betapi: whats one actual problem that you want fixed? [07:36] Templar_Xion: I wouldn't, why don't you just talk to him? I'm not the one having the problem [07:36] I need help [07:36] Stan: What is that? [07:36] Ezro: (Effectively) same Os nothing different excdept no gui.You can install gnome/kde/ whatever yo uwant on server though if you want a GUI [07:36] lol. [07:36] nathanhelp, its a psychological problem, not a computer problem. [07:36] * CoUrPsE|DeAd was thinking the same. [07:36] nathanhelp: ubuntu is broken so i want a cheap way to fix it quickly [07:36] hateball: do u know of a good sysinfo script that also tells upload and download speed from irc? [07:36] Ezro, "x" is the GUI you see in Linux. [07:36] !xorg [07:36] 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 [07:36] Ezro: command line interface vs graphical user interface (ClI VS GUI) [07:36] betapi: name one problem. how is it broken? [07:37] hateball: the one I have now sux [07:37] System Information for chad-desktop: CPU: AuthenticAMD [07:37] BilatNimo, hold on a sec... let me see which packages you need to install mp3 support [07:37] what is your name,leon [07:37] BilatNimo, what version of ubuntu are you using? [07:37] nathanhelp: the whole screen is weird [07:37] Ezro, people typically use the 'server' build because the machine is 'headless' and they maamnge it over ssh. [07:37] ZupZupper: thanks [07:37] ! ask | kyle|huttger [07:37] kyle|huttger: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [07:37] ZupZupper: i think 8.04 [07:37] betapi: define weird. what does it look like? [07:37] Ezro, if you want a servert w/ GUI, use the desktop build. its nearly identical. [07:37] dashyn4ik, why ask these? [07:37] CountryTrouserTr⚘ cant say I do, I dont use any scripts like that :) [07:37] nathanhelp: like the LCD is broken, except its not [07:37] BilatNimo, run `cat /etc/ubuntu-release` [07:37] Ah, I see. [07:37] i wanted know [07:37] anyway, I've got a serious problem with Ubuntu and /home mounted as an NFS client... firefox, evolution and just about everything else crashes or doesn't work properly [07:37] Now is it true that desktop only goes up to 800x600 resolution? === Octoroks__ is now known as Octoroks === sauvin_ is now known as Sauvin [07:38] Beceause that's what my bro is telling me right now. [07:38] betapi: please explain what yo umean. We cant see what you see.

[07:38] Ezro: no [07:38] Ezro: Either your brother has a bdd config or a horrible video card. probably the former [07:38] bad* [07:38] cheap way to fix something == do it yourself [07:38] Ah [07:38] :) [07:38] nathanhelp, I think you are being had.............................. [07:38] betapi: better not waste your time and go buy a new copy of ubuntu [07:38] Anyone know of a script that shows network such as upload/download speeds in irc?????

[07:40] do you know this country [07:40] jshriver, xbmc? [07:40] nathanhelp: no, it is fine when i turn it off. [07:40] nathanhelp: betapi is a troll, best to ignore imo. [07:40] does anyone know how to do ndiswrapper -mi or -ma? [07:40] leon: forgot the pinyin for that word haha its been years since I spoke chinese [07:41] hrm will check that out ty [07:41] Last question from me before I go: Is Ubuntu straight forward with driver updates and all networking, or do I need to know some linux? [07:41] Every one I truly think betapi is a time wasting troll with big boots [07:41] I've been having trouble with firefox freezing up for about a second or two every so often, when it freezes up I can't scroll or anything, but after the second or two freezeup, then anything I tried to do such as scrolling, or clicking, is suddenly performed, anyone else having these problems? [07:41] CntryTrousrTrout, your Pinyin is very bad! [07:41] I cannot get any ati drivers installed to save me, i've tried lots of stuff, but im also pretty new to ubuntu, Anyone can help me with this? [07:41] Ezro: Ubuntu has great hardware recognition. [07:41] is there any GUI way to setup a bluetooth headphone/headset in Ubuntu? [07:41] leon: mm not really, you just don't know it [07:41] I just installed Xubuntu 8.10 on my PS3 but I can't seem to get wireless to work... it's not showing my wireless network in the networks list, and when I put in the ESSID and key manually it fails to connect [07:41] Ezro: Get a livecd and try it out. [07:42] I am using WEP by the way [07:42] Ah cool, thanks for the help guys. I am downloading it now, so hopefully I will have it on my computer in a few hours. [07:42] CoUrPsE|DeAd: If you use a live cd, you're drivers should work without any configuration at all [07:42] philsf, do you see the bluetooth icon in the tray? [07:42] betapi: do you have a serious question? [07:42] notplus_M: Do other networks showup?

[07:43] Templar_Xion: it DOES show up [07:43] CoUrPsE|DeAd: So your graphics drivers were already working. Now that you've used envy and it failed, you have little chance of recovery without reinstalling Intrepid [07:43] notplus_M: Interesting... [07:43] tritium: uhhh duhhhh [07:43] Templar_Xion: yeah, I know, it's weird... [07:43] I like GeeXbox, but it's a full live CD system.

[07:49] We got a real ubunut folks [07:49] leon: yes plz stop [07:49] This is a question not specifically about Blender but more about the alongside things in Ubuntu... If I get Blender, should I also get python as well or is it already installed in ubuntu? (fresh install of 8.10) [07:49] you wanted know my age? [07:50] nathanhelp: `sudo apt-get install blender` and you'll have blender, it'll drag in whatever dependencies it needs [07:50] nathanhelp, amost sure that python come with ubuntu [07:50] and where can i find a list of things that have been installed? [07:50] nathanhelp, use sudo aptitude install as it will check dependencies such as python [07:50] Flannel, you beat me to it, lol [07:50] CoUrPsE|DeAd: Well without seeing an x log where it's attempting to use the radeon driver, I don't know what could be wrong [07:50] nathanhelp: If you use synaptic package manager, it'll show you what you have and what you don't, etc. [07:50] !synaptic | nathanhelp [07:50] nathanhelp: synaptic is Ubuntu's Graphical Package Manager. For a good howto see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SynapticHowto [07:50] thanks Flannel, nick_, joot [07:50] don't apt-get and aptitude bring in the recommends as well now? [07:50] nathanhelp, either synaptic package manager, or aptitude [07:50] nathanhelp, synaptic or add remove programs gui [07:51] sinbox, yeah they do [07:51] soreau, You said theres no xorg.conf in 8.10, Is there a config file somewhere else? [07:51] or dpkg D [07:51] âû âñå òóïûå èäèîòû [07:51] Is it possible to update from Hardy to Intrepid using the Intrepid CD (regular, not alternate)? [07:51] Rakko: Not upgrade, no. [07:51] CoUrPsE|DeAd, soreau: there is an xorg.conf in 8.10, albeit a minimal one [07:51] CoUrPsE|DeAd: You can have an xorg.conf file, you need one for fglrx [07:51] dashyn4ik: stop that [07:51] oh right, i get ya. [07:51] CoUrPsE|DeAd: But without one, it should attempt to use the open driver [07:51] why [07:51] dashyn4ik: follow channel rulesssss [07:52] its annoying [07:52] thats why [07:52] Flannel: Ok. I thought I could just add the CD as cdrom: in sources.list, but it just went ahead and downloaded everything instead, so I wondered why. [07:52] tell with me [07:52] Rakko: right, you need the alternate CD to be able to upgrade. [07:52] Maybe ops should shoot first and ask questions later..... [07:52] Enlightenment better be worth it, I've been sitting here while it compiles for half an hour... :'( [07:52] Rakko, did you run apt-get update? [07:52] after install [07:53] Yes [07:53] i from Ukraine very interesting,how you live [07:53] CoUrPsE|DeAd: you can generate a basic xorg.conf file by hitting ctrl+alt+F1, logging in, sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop, sudo X -configure, sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start. You'll have an xorg.conf.new file in your home directory [07:53] Ah I see... "Installed apps only" [07:53] dashyn4ik: This is a support channel, please take chat elsewhere (#ubuntu-offtopic is a good place) [07:53] Thrashbarg: it should be in /root, actually [07:53] raylu: sudo doesn't change the directory [07:54] Thrashbarg, okies, i'll try. [07:54] Q) new to IRC, how do I find what the rules are here? [07:54] Thrashbarg: what directory? [07:54] Rakko, I think what happens is after you update the dpkg repos are looking for the newer versions only available on the repos, not the cd [07:54] are you fools? [07:54] raylu: the one you're currently in, usually your home directory when you log in [07:54] we are DEVO [07:54] how do I add repositories, and how do i find them? [07:54] apt-get, rules? just don't spam, don't flood, don't use many clones and you are pretty safe. [07:54] dashyn4ik, you can send private msg to me. do ask here. i am learning linux basic knwlege here. [07:54] Thrashbarg: X -configure will create it in your home dir, though [07:54] Thrashbarg: and for root, that's /root [07:55] raylu: sudo doesn't log you in as root though [07:55] i cant send msg,lron!!!!!!!!!!! [07:55] hi [07:55] Thrashbarg: it doesn't, but it uses root's environment [07:55] nathanhelp: You generally don't need to add additional repositories === nick__ is now known as mandrig [07:55] spanish people here? [07:55] no, im from mexico [07:55] raylu: my experience has been that it just elevates your privelages, but keeps everything else the same [07:55] !es [07:55] En la mayoría de canales Ubuntu se comunica en inglés. Para ayuda en Español, por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es o #kubuntu-es. [07:55] roma hi [07:55] !es [07:55] roma, there is a #ubuntu-es [07:55] gb, thanks I think I can follow those rules [07:56] raylu: anyway, we shall see [07:56] O HAI GUISE [07:56] hola [07:56] Flannel: I know the general idea of repositories, but arent there repos for certain apps that you can only get those apps if you use the repos? or have i misunderstood something? [07:56] great apt-get :) anyway i think there is a MOTD which has the rules if you need them... try /motd (I think)... if not... join the main lobby for this server, maybe #freenode [07:56] se puede hablar en espanol o no? [07:56] roma: no [07:56] roma: usa el canal de #ubuntu-es para español [07:56] que mal pedo [07:56] hahaha ya se [07:56] !es | roma [07:56] roma: En la mayoría de canales Ubuntu se comunica en inglés. Para ayuda en Español, por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es o #kubuntu-es. [07:56] I already told him ma [07:56] mandrig [07:56] Thrashbarg: oops, i had it backwards. sudo uses the current user's environment. i still remember xorg -configure generating a conf file in /root, though [07:57] chill [07:57] why webmin is not packaged for ubuntu? [07:57] Flannel: I've upgraded all the packages that had updates, but lsb_release still says Hardy [07:57] !webmin | fale [07:57] fale: webmin is no longer supported in Debian and Ubuntu. It is not compatible with the way that Ubuntu packages handle configuration files, and is likely to cause unexpected issues with your system. See !ebox instead. [07:57] this is not friendly [07:57] Rakko: how did you upgrade? [07:57] nathanhelp: Depends on what you're looking for. The repositories have a good deal of things, most, if not all, of what you'll need. If you need specifics, you can find them, but there aren't many more large repositories of stuff you'll need. [07:57] !ebox [07:57] ebox is a web-based GUI interface for administering a server. It is designed to work with Ubuntu/Debian style configuration management. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/eBox [07:57] !upgrade | Rakko [07:57] Rakko: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes [07:58] thanks [07:58] okies. [07:58] Rakko: That link will walk you through the upgrade process. You'll have to do it from the internet if you don't have an alternate CD [07:58] Rakko: , Flannel: I thought you had to iinstall new when going from hardy to ibex. [07:58] thankyou raylu [07:58] Got a log file that contains errors now relivlent to the radeon driver. [07:58] nathanhelp: Nope, you can upgrade Ubuntu versions no problem [07:58] http://pastebin.com/f3569340f [07:58] apt-get: /topic [07:59] !rules > apt-get [07:59] apt-get, please see my private message [07:59] That is my Xorg.0.log.old file which is trying to use radeon driver. [07:59] Flannel: Oh ok. mustve been my inexperience before. I have a installation prob with 5.4 to 6.3. [07:59] *had [07:59] raylu, very good. got it [07:59] raylu: just tried it then on another box, it saved to /home, not /root [07:59] Flannel: I'd already read this page. Does it make a difference that I upgraded with Upgrade Manager instead of Synaptic? [07:59] nathanhelp: You would've have to go from 5.04 to 5.10, and then from 5.10 to 6.06, you can't skip versions (except LTS to LTS) [07:59] Thrashbarg: hm, ok [07:59] Rakko: No, update-manager is the suggested method [08:00] hello [08:00] nathanhelp, I think we all did to some degree [08:00] this is smokey back again [08:00] i was able to mount this iso and it loads in vlc [08:00] but it wont play past the menu [08:01] it just crashes and repeats the menu [08:01] any help? [08:01] Flannel: Oh... "click on the "Updates" tab and change "Show new distribution release" to "Normal releases"" -- I don't think I did that [08:01] Flannel: That'll be it then. Re: repos, I cant think of the example now, but I did need to add a repo before (5.04) and couldnt get it to work. So, basically I neednt worry about it until (if ever) that example comes up again on "how to add repos"? [08:02] i get this in in dmesg: [ 47.128172] 3w-xxxx: scsi0: AEN: WARNING: ATA UDMA downgrade: Port #0. for my 3ware raid card.. is that normal? [08:02] does anyone have a nice and clean xorg.conf for nvidia from ubuntu 8.10 that he wants to show me? [08:02] nathanhelp: Right. And its actually pretty straight forward [08:02] I cant get ati drivers to install, here is my Xorg.0.log file that contains my errors, any ideas on how to fix anyone? http://pastebin.com/f3569340f [08:02] smokeymirror: run vlc from a console to see what error message appears, then google that error or, if short, paste here. or paste into a pastebin [08:02] or does it have to do with anything a degraded hd? i really don't think so.. but just double checking [08:02] smokeymirror: is the iso a vcd/dvd? [08:03] I have to admit it's counter-intuitive that you have to change release and repository info in Synaptic, but then use Update Manager to actually update [08:03] jim_p: http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/Installing_Gentoo_2007.0_on_a_ThinkPad_R61#xorg.conf [08:03] Rakko: You don't manually change that stuff. [08:04] Rakko: the only setting you have to change is the non-LTS releases in software sources. Or wait for 10.04 to roll around. [08:04] yeah [08:04] Rakko: it makes sense if you don't use the gui tools [08:04] 10.04 is the next LTS? [08:04] soreau, is this for xorg 1.5? [08:05] Rakko: Scheduled to be, yeah [08:05] oh, like vim /etc/apt/sources.list [08:05] jim_p: xorg 1.5 doesn't need an xorg.conf :) [08:05] hi, does anyone know what the sound quality if like with a creative x-fi xtreme gamer running alsa? [08:05] what is special about the decimal .04 in Ubuntu? [08:05] month [08:05] i made a copy of my dvd last night [08:05] it was released [08:05] Rakko: You don't need to edit your sources at all to ugprade, update-managert does it for you. [08:05] jim_p: It will only work if you have nvidia drivers installed correctly [08:05] soreau, i know, but it does not work properly for my friends nvidia [08:05] Rakko: they're YY.MM (Year.Month) [08:05] Flannel: oh, I know... I'm thinking for more technical things. [08:05] Oh! [08:05] jim_p: I said this not long ago, you weren't here... you can generate a basic xorg.conf file by hitting ctrl+alt+F1, logging in, sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop, sudo X -configure, sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start. You'll have an xorg.conf.new file in your home directory [08:05] April 2010 [08:06] soreau, he does have nvidia proprietary drivers installed [08:06] So is Intrepid sort of an "unstable"? [08:06] I've just installed the restricted ubuntu for mp3/dvd/etc... but youtube still doesnt come up. is there another step? or restart? that i have to do? [08:06] jim_p: Then he only needs to set the Driver line in the Device section to "nvidia" [08:06] * youtube movies still dont play. it say I have javascript turned off or an old version. [08:07] Thrashbarg, yea but will this work on xorg 1.5? i know that techique [08:07] nathanhelp: restart firefox [08:07] aheh. righto. see yo usoon [08:07] Rakko: No, there's just two upgrade cycles. Wehther you want to upgrade every few years, or every few months. [08:07] Rakko: it's some degree of unstable. for most desktop users, it should be fine [08:07] soreau, well his xorg.conf is ... tiny and it even lacks THAT option. thats why i suggested a proper full xorg.conf [08:07] Ok. [08:07] xorg.conf options depend on the hardware being used, not the version of x [08:07] Rakko: obviously though, older, more mature software is more stable. [08:08] join /#alsa [08:08] ops [08:08] Also, does anyone know of an Intrepid package for Murrine that looks like the Hardy version instead of the Intrepid version? (In Intrepid the menu arrows are too big) [08:08] Hi! In a script, I'd like to mv a file and rename it according to the result of another command (tail). How do I do this? [08:08] Flannel: I went to Intrepid because Hardy kept dropping me into busybox when I tried to boot [08:08] jim_p: Just look at the Driver line in the Device section of the link I gave you, and add that line as it is there [08:08] ackbahr: is the output of tail just the filename you want? [08:09] ackbahr: use backticks around the command. eg, mv `echo file1.txt` file2.txt [08:09] soreau, thanks [08:09] ackbahr: it outputs "foo.txt" or whatnot? [08:09] я неврубаю о чем речь [08:09] !ru | yury [08:09] yury: Пожалуйста посетите #ubuntu-ru для получения помощи на русском языке / Pozhalujsta posetite #ubuntu-ru dlya polucheniya pomoshi na russkom yazyke [08:09] ackbahr: you may also be interested in things like xargs, for, and awk.

So, like, mv file1 `tail whatever`-file1 [08:11] wakka wakka [08:11] непонимаю я не хера [08:11] awakkatare [08:11] yury: English only in this channel please.

[08:39] anybody else? how can i get more emblems for folder icons? [08:39] CaMason: it's the last bit to be run during boot up, so actually might not work because the services which are complaining will start up earlier [08:39] jtaji: good point [08:39] jtaji: no, rc starts up the services too [08:40] right but rc.local is after the init scripts run [08:40] jtaji: right, so don't use rc.local, make your own init script D [08:40] and something is wrong with my :/; key [08:40] so ideally, I need a script to run after fstab and before the services start [08:40] is there a trick to getting SCIM to work for 32-bit apps on a 64-bit system? [08:40] CaMason: ideally you want to do this right after you enable tmpfs, so an init script as raylu mentioned in /etc/rcS.d appropriately named to come right after tmpfs [08:41] ubuttu ott nem ir senki [08:41] have ubuntu 8.4 and pulseaudio .. can i be on skype and play mplayer at the same time?

[08:42] I can't get video player working.... [08:42] chalcedony: if you don't know, then you don't have that version installed [08:42] all of these scripts are symlinks to files within init.d, and start Sxx [08:42] chalcedony: you won't be able to make or receive calls with mplayer running though, so I'm not sure if that's what you wanted [08:43] sigh. I guess people corporations have figured out how to encrypt dvds even further. Even VLC wont run my dvd. [08:43] gaelfx1: what i wanted was alsa .. but someone helped me get sound working and now it's pulseaudio [08:44] chalcedony: then you'll just have to try and see if it works because I don't know what this person had you do to your system [08:44] anyone?

If you have an LCD monitor, it'll ignore your refresh rate setting. If you have a CRT and can't tell the difference, it won't make any difference. [09:24] i have a lcd [09:24] anyone know anything bout opendns on ubuntu [09:24] secure or a bunch of bs? === root is now known as Guest46467 [09:24] rww 60hz is a pretty standard refresh rate correct? [09:25] patb: i've used it before. it's faster than most internet service providers' DNS servers. Not sure what you mean by "secure" [09:25] i mean will it direct me to bs sites [09:25] preston: yes. 60Hz or 75Hz both are [09:25] patb: it doesn't right now. could always change, since it's a third-party company, but it's always been fine when i've used it [09:25] rww that wouldnt be enough to get flicker one way or the other would it? [09:26] Hey, I'd like to connect to my vps. what application can I use to connect to it? I tried terminal server client but that didn't work.. [09:27] it's an ubuntu vps by the way [09:27] preston: If you're using an LCD, the refresh rate you set in Ubuntu won't be applied to your monitor, so it doesn't matter how you set it [09:28] im able to set it by acsessing root terminal and changing my nvidia settings there rww [09:28] preston: this is identical to Windows. LCD monitors don't have a "refresh rate" like CRTs. The only thing that refreshes is the backlight, and those aren't user-controllable. [09:28] preston: yes, and that setting is NOT USED by the monitor [09:29] rww so the 60 and 75 is just for the backlight? [09:29] hiya [09:29] can i get help with Fedora here? [09:30] preston: no, the 60 and 75 are for the refresh rate on CRT monitors. Since you have an LCD monitor, the refresh rate setting is NOT USED. Backlights typically operate at about 200Hz, and their settings can't be changed by Linux or you. [09:30] funnydude: join #fedora [09:30] funnydude: nope. Try the channel #fedora on this server.

[10:00] I have 8.10 [10:00] Oh :D [10:01] is there any backup tool that supports something like versioning (similar to svn)? [10:01] svn? [10:01] How to increase resolution, do you think i will live with this 640x480? ... [10:02] :'( [10:02] ouch [10:02] Hello.. [10:02] hi [10:02] Hi :) [10:03] Will you help me? [10:03] !ask | restartme [10:03] restartme: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [10:03] he did ask a question [10:03] yep [10:03] xerox1: you could use svn... but rdiff-backup stores diffs allowing you to retrieve files from older times [10:03] funny but not funny. [10:03] what? [10:03] i want to install a new network card, how can i do that? [10:03] !ask | eth01 [10:03] eth01: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [10:04] How to increase resolution, do you think i will live with this 640x480? ... [10:04] brb [10:04] .. [10:04] :/ [10:04] I have upgraded to 8.10 [10:04] restartme: try system > preferences > screen resolution [10:04] restartme: what video card are you using? [10:04] jtaji: but then i need a server...i would like to leave that out [10:05] geforce mx 440 [10:05] I think I am going to uninstall Ubuntu already xD [10:05] I'm not liking this too much lol [10:05] it's workinkg on windows even with 1600x900 [10:05] i want to install a new network card, how can i do that? i tried to make a new init rd but it wond load my card [10:05] xerox1: either solution can be used locally [10:05] restartme: if its not an issue with preferences, its likely that the driver in xorg.con is falling back to vga [10:05] so.... [10:05] restartme: which vesion of the driver do you have installed? [10:05] what i need to do damn? :( [10:05] wait [10:06] 96 [10:06] : why is your drive in ntfs? [10:06] enabled, and restarded. [10:06] restartme: first of all, you need to calm down and not react negatively. [10:06] ask it [10:06] yeah yeah ... [10:06] restartme: okay [10:06] jim_p: yo ustill around? [10:06] restartme: try play with /etc/X11/xorg.conf [10:06] restartme: eth01 wasn't very helpful, so if he steps out of line again, don't worry about it [10:06] trying to increase resolution from yesterday... how do you would no be pissed off? [10:06] restartme: various things like "lsmod | grep nv" might help [10:07] : it says right in the log "Opening '/dev/sda1' as NTFS failed: Operation not supported" [10:07] i dont undertand these [10:07] restartme: Run 'nvidia-settings' from a terminal [10:07] : do you dual-boot? [10:07] "lsmod | grep nv" [10:07] restartme: as will grep nv /var/log/Xorg.0.log [10:07] * nathanhelp thanks all who helped him in the last 3 hours. [10:07] restartme: tell you what - if you wanna go AFK for a bit and chill out for awhile, then come back to it, i'll be happy to help you through it [10:08] restartme: lsmod lists all drivers running. | sends the output to grep, which returns only lines with "nv"in them [10:08] thechris: it doesn't help that everyone is giving him several different directions to go in [10:09] i'm assuming ubuntu is using nv for the mx440. IIRC, GF2/3 support has been deprecated from the nvidia mainstream drivers [10:10] back [10:10] thechris: he's actually installed the nvidia driver for it - but he's got an older card, so he might need to install 71 [10:10] restartme: and | is not "I", but rather the combo of shift+\ (on US qwerty keyboards at least) [10:10] what the fuck [10:10] :D [10:10] reaktae, the computer came like this [10:10] restartme: please, watch the language [10:10] i have increased resolution, in some way... [10:10] Gnea: meh, nv and nvida will both be picked up by grep [10:10] thechris: true [10:11] but i am now scrooling on desktop with mouse. [10:11] i have changed panning [10:11] .. [10:11] :( [10:11] where can I configure the keyboard shortcuts? [10:11] i just dont get it.. [10:11] restartme: interesting. this is the virtual resolution. eg, you've set the desktop to a size larger then the monitor can display [10:11] hi all. Can someone tell me how to view a DVD in ubuntu ? I only got the video_ts folder it's not on a DVD [10:11] : is it a dual-boot machine? [10:12] NicEXE, System,Prefences,Keyboard shortcuts. [10:12] restartme: were you able to get above 640x480? [10:12] ? [10:12] nvidia-settings [10:12] in termininal [10:12] : is there windows installed on the computer? [10:13] x Server Display Configuration -> Display -> Panning. [10:13] CoUrPsE|DeAd: It does not provide custom shortcuts (like launch ) [10:13] restartme: i don't understand what you're talking about... were you able to get the resolution to increase? [10:13] sybux, install vlc from Synaptica and you can open the directory video_ts with vlc [10:13] Gnea: no, see my comment. I've intentionally done this before [10:13] i have just said.. [10:14] NicEXE, Ahh, i see, i dont know sorry. [10:14] well, clearly i don't know what i'm talking about then. sorry. [10:14] not again.. [10:14] Gnea: you can set a virtual desktop size thats different then the monitor's resolution. its useful for programs with 1200px tall menus [10:15] restartme: for me to be able to help, i'll need to know what is actually running at the moment [10:15] restartme: the way that I know to do this will involve using a terminal [10:15] is there some remote desktop on ubuntu? [10:15] thechris: ah okay - i knew about that, just never heard it referred to as 'panning' before [10:16] Could just someone who knows what he is doing connect to me, apply resolution and it would be done [10:16] restartme: yes, but i'm guessing it would take longer to set that up. especially if you have a router or such in the way. [10:16] now router [10:16] not router i think.. [10:16] :/ [10:16] restartme: that's not how we do things here. we help guide you so that YOU will know how to do it right. can you pastebin your /etc/X11/xorg.conf please? [10:17] wait [10:17] ? [10:17] quibbler_: I'm using vlc but I can't open the dvd menu only vob file individuay [10:18] My xorg.conf http://paste.ubuntu.com/94189/ [10:18] restartme: as a note, it does not seem that ssh (the simplest remote login" is accessible. I'm guessing it would take longer to get that working. [10:18] : [10:18] :/ [10:19] restartme: if you type lsmod, do you see either nv or nvidia listed? [10:19] Em [10:19] restartme: okay, now can you please pastebin your /var/log/Xorg.0.log [10:20] sybux, go to File-Open Directory and point vlc to the directory only [10:20] you just install the package openssh-server for ssh daemon [10:20] What i need to paste for you, to connect [10:20] IP, user? [10:20] * Gnea is not going to connect remotely [10:20] yeah thats bad [10:21] I have pasted for you my xorg.conf, whats now? [10:21] restartme: you need ssh to be running, and for no proxies to be in the way [10:21] maybea you think that i some stupid donkey or what? [10:21] restartme: okay, now can you please pastebin your /var/log/Xorg.0.log [10:21] thechris i think you mean firewalls. [10:21] quibbler_: doesn't seems to work [10:21] Is it possible to set up a remote ubuntu machine SERVER to run gnome, and to be able to vncviewer into it? [10:21] without having any console access to said machine - purely remote access [10:21] CapaH sure just use x11vnc [10:21] restartme: ... [10:22] flaccid: Will x11vnc work if there is technically no monitor plugged into said machine? It is a 'virtual' machine ? [10:22] restartme: well, if that's what you would have us believe... [10:22] flaccid: well, anything doing a NAT will be as bad. port forwarding isn't generally set up [10:22] CapaH yep [10:22] I will do that [10:22] thechris incorrect [10:22] hallo [10:22] http://paste.ubuntu.com/94191/ [10:22] i'm facing some problem with my usb joypad [10:23] Hi .. I need a little help... I just testet connected to the internet using my mobile phone on the live cd, but after I installed Ubuntu, I cannot connect. Is does not show up in Network-Manager. Does anyone know what to install to get it working? [10:23] unfortunately i used jscalibrator :( [10:23] CapaH: note that X11/ssh and XDM btoh support remote login with graphics [10:23] restartme: thank you. btw, donkeys can't use computers. :) [10:23] sybux, I don't understand, I've never had a problem. Are you sure it is a valid video directory? [10:23] i tried to unplug joypad / completely remove jscalibrator [10:23] but that didn't solve the problem [10:23] monkeys can, [10:23] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNC#x11vnc [10:23] : if you're still there, try this. Boot into Windows and shut them down properly first. then retry what you've been doing... gparted cannot manage ntfs unless windoze shut down was clean... [10:24] whats now? o.O [10:24] restartme: the file /var/log/Xorg.0.log will contain a list of things xorg did, or didn't do. [10:25] restartme: well, if you want to get technical, your monitor can't autoconfigure itself with nvidia, so you're going to need to set the monitor parameters in the xorg.conf manually. what make/model is your monitor? [10:25] what i know === christopher is now known as fahrenheit [10:25] Does anyone know what to install to get Mobile Broadband working? [10:25] jui am just pasted what she/he told [10:25] for the eepc, is there a special ubuntu distro?

[10:26] hewlett packard. it's old [10:26] restartme: okay, is there a model number on the front or back somewhere? [10:26] yes, most CRTs are old, since they're not manufactured anymore [10:26] PACKARD D2807A [10:26] I need help. I used UNetBootIN to install ubuntu and now my pendrive won't mount ANYWHERE except for the system I installed from it. I tried gparted but had not luck - XP still only gives the infamous "device malfunction" message and Acronis bootable tools say that the device failed to accept a mount-request. The drive doesn't appear to be broken but it works ONLY in ubuntu! Any ideas please? [10:27] :) [10:27] reaktae gparted does not mount filesystems. xp requires an ext2/3 driver to mount it. [10:27] bump [10:27] <[a]D> reaktae: you wanna put xp back on? [10:28] anyone can help me with my usb joypad problem? [10:28] are you following up on my advise do chilli0 or are you talking about my pendrive? 'cause none of those were etx2/3. ntfs in both cases [10:29] and? [10:29] Phoenix87: What's the problem? [10:29] reaktae if its ntfs, what is the error when you mount it? [10:29] Hi .. I need a little help... I just testet connected to the internet using my mobile phone on the live cd, but after I installed Ubuntu, I cannot connect. Is does not show up in Network-Manager. Does anyone know what to install to get it working? [10:29] restartme: looking... [10:29] kk :) [10:29] It is a Nokia phone [10:29] <[a]D> no, I use my pendrive to carry files between multiple computers/systems? why do you ask? [10:29] soreau: i used jscalibrator on it [10:29] USB connected [10:30] Phoenix87: That's not a problem [10:30] hi all , what format must the hard drive be for ubuntu? [10:30] ext3 is recommended [10:30] soreau: unfortunately it is 'cause axes stopped working [10:30] chillix format of what? [10:30] thanks christopher [10:30] Phoenix87: Even after a reboot? [10:30] yep [10:31] i unplugged the controller [10:31] Phoenix87: Try 'jstest' [10:31] i even completely removed jscalibrator [10:31] soreau: jstest works fine [10:31] Phoenix87: So what's wrong exactly? [10:31] even jscal seems to work fine [10:32] soreau: when in a game, supertux say, axes don't work [10:32] only buttons work [10:32] can someone help me put distro installer on flash drive so i can install using that instead of optical disc? [10:32] Phoenix87: If the axes work in jstest, it is a matter of setting said game to use the axes accordingly [10:33] !usb | s3a [10:33] s3a: For information about installing Ubuntu from USB flash drives, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick - For a persistent live USB install, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent [10:33] Please help me [10:33] it does not mount anywhere except for ubuntu and there are no errors then. in xp it says "device not recognised? and it cuts the drive's power after that... [10:33] gnea [10:33] hey [10:33] Mnemonic^: try use umtsmon [10:33] restartme: still looking [10:33] nonono [10:33] em [10:33] reaktae if you use the mount command and it fails, it will give you an error message. [10:33] Mnemonic^: or use wvdial [10:33] if, you ca. paste some info what to do in pvt [10:33] soreau: searching on the internet this seems to be a common problem for those who used jscalibrator, but the common solution isn't the solution for me :( [10:33] reaktae furthermore this is not windows support.. [10:33] i need go to store.. [10:33] AMDMutant: But I just testet it on the LiveCD NetworkManager worked great [10:33] * jluc is away: Gone away for now [10:33] mom.. [10:33] :D [10:34] k? [10:34] AMDMutant: Why does it not work after installation? [10:34] Phoenix87: Then file a bug or look up a bug report for jscalibrator [10:34] in addition axes used to work fine in supertux prior to jscalibrator [10:34] mounting is not possible because the drive is not powered up. ubuntu mounts it just fine [10:34] soreau: I did that but the suggested solution doesn't work for me :( [10:35] Gnea, i DONT want to install on usb flash drive, i want installer on flash drive so that i can install on another hard drive [10:35] reaktae this aint ##windows [10:35] s3a: that's what the first URL talks about [10:35] Phoenix87: Well I doubt I have used the exact hardware and configuration you have so I don't have an answer for your specific situation [10:35] Mnemonic^: NetworkManager applet not shown? [10:36] restartme: check this out: http://www.mail-archive.com/lugos-list@lugos.si/msg10478.html you should try the monitor section settings [10:36] soreau: don't worry ;) I appreciate your help! [10:36] restartme: just omit the 640x480 line [10:36] the thing is that this happened after using unetbootin to load ubuntu and that is what this channel is for, right? it's not just windows i'm having problems with - it's any system other than the particular ubuntu install i made off the pendrive. === sean is now known as Guest29262 [10:37] AMDMutant: It is shown, but the Mobile Broadband connection wizard does not popup when I connect my Phone using USB, so it seams that is does not recognize it. [10:37] reaktae no this is not unetbootin support nor does your assumptions conclude anything sorry [10:37] Mnemonic^: add it yourself [10:38] AMDMutant: I tried that, but the connect button in NetworkManager does not show, so it seams that I does not recognize the Phone [10:39] why would it recognise the phone is the question considering its proprietery [10:39] AMDMutant: Is there some addon that I should install to get it working? [10:39] Mnemonic^: lsusb [10:39] what i need to do with this? ;? [10:39] :/ [10:40] AMDMutant: I will give you lsusb in a minute..

[10:40] Mnemonic^ you need a driver if it even exists.

[10:41] restartme: well, since your monitor is old, the only way to find anything on it is to reference xfree86, the predecessor to xorg - so what you need to do is edit your xorg.conf in the monitor section to reflect what's on that site [10:41] AMDMutant: Ok .. where do I define the device in network manager? [10:41] Mnemonic^ if you did desktop live cd install, its the same image, if so report a bug === zerwas_ is now known as peter4124 [10:42] copy everything from there to xorg.conf? Yes?

[11:04] cheers [11:04] all users are equal here (except, of course, the ops). what time is it over in the us, anyway? [11:05] zetheroo: It'll work on both, but it may not be available in the hardy repos. [11:05] aah, that would explain the lack of action in here. === onx- is now known as onx [11:05] Gr33n3gg: That is good answers . My windows friend really want to mess stuff up that he can't fix easy. from what I understand wubi has great uninstall system [11:05] Stormx2: ok I see ... is there a deb of it? [11:05] any suggestion of books for newbies [11:05] sf49, I think it's 6am, latest over there. [11:06] thanks [11:06] zetheroo, I'll check, one moment [11:06] Stormx2: thanks [11:06] !book | zephyr34 [11:06] Sorry, I don't know anything about book [11:06] meh [11:06] zephyr34: what kind of stage are you up to? [11:06] zetheroo, if you don't mind me asking, why do you need the newest version? [11:07] I think the official ubuntu book would be good zephyr34; sf49 newbie is a pretty defined stage, no? [11:07] Stormx2: Its got a better interface than the one in Hardy [11:07] or the guide, if you don't want to pay for the book [11:07] zephyr34: sudo apt-get install debian-reference [11:07] Ah [11:07] Stormx2: especially when watching video in fullscreen mode [11:07] Ah, I was apparently misinformed, Gr33n3gg... Mandriva must have been using the experimental madwifi hal 0.10.56 which apparently also works on 64 bit, but will apparently never become mainstream [11:07] Stormx2: just FYI, the bot wasn't in the #ubuntu-bots channel, therefore it clearly didn't need to be here. haven't ever had to deal with a rogue bot before, so sorry if you felt that I did it wrong, when clearly the problem was solved correctly.

[11:10] Gnea Slart: i found this virtualbox-ose - x86 virtualization solution - binaries [11:10] Stormx2: just stop right there. [11:10] Gnea Slart: is that what i need? [11:10] rockyrock, it might be worthwhile getting a .deb off the VirtualBox website, as the non-open source version has USB support.

[11:18] i need suggestion for that [11:18] zephyr34, that's fine, but you've yet to display what your problem *actually is* [11:18] from where i should start [11:18] ?

He's been totally impolite and outright incorrect, and some op has just validated the way he acted and told me to drop it. === sfer is now known as sfer21 [11:24] Slack_: +1 [11:24] thanks! just saw it in 2.26 release schedule that 2.24.2 stable is already released last november i think [11:24] So I'm sorta pissed, cause I've put a lot into this channel (I've been here since Breezy!)

[11:34] vim is a nice html editor ;) [11:35] I've read if I want to get my Wifi Atheros card in monitor mode, I have to get a patch version of my madwifi-ng drivers. I'm scared to broke my Ubuntu and/or some packages or even worst, get my working wifi out of service. Anyone here did that before and could confirm it works ? [11:35] Geany is a good one [11:35] nano is a good html editor as well, :) [11:35] +1 for Geany, but its not WYSIWYG [11:35] definitely prefer nano over vim [11:35] emacs nxhtml mode [11:35] Anjuta is another good one [11:35] I like geany for editing code. :) [11:36] is joe on ubuntu too? [11:36] guys please stop, its a good way to start a flame war [11:36] if not wysiwg i use vim [11:37] hi.

[11:37] mclure: what kind of problem, and what program are you using for torrents? [11:38] gaelfx1: using deluge torrent [11:38] mclure, downloading the actual .torrent files? [11:38] mclure, is that problem specific to .torrents ? [11:38] an html flame war?? :) anyways yea Web Dev has been a godsend for me in Ubuntu - Highly recommended [11:38] nope. but when the network activity increases, then firefox becomes unresponsive when using it. just hangs. have to forcequit [11:39] mclure: sounds like you need to limit the bandwidth that deluge uses [11:39] gaelfx1, even with 0 bandwidth, firefox shouldn't crash [11:39] joaopinto: guess I should try another software. but works on my other computer. done some minor firefox tweaks [11:39] CaptainMorgan, I have seen those around. Please stop the discussion. [11:40] mclure, maybe run firefox from terminal. When it crashes, have a look at the output? [11:40] hischild_laptop, not sure what you're referring to [11:40] Stormx2: yeah, but I thought he said it hung, not crashed [11:40] Stormx2, it's not crashing, it's hanging, per the description [11:40] gaelfx1, the output might still be useful.

I'm a newbie ;-) [11:42] mclure, check your path [11:42] heelo [11:42] AMDMutant: black out. unresponsive. it doesn't crash. if I stop deluge torrent, firefox wakes up [11:42] mclure, make sure your existing firefox instances are closed :P [11:42] hello again [11:42] hischild_laptop: [Spooky] asked for software recommendations, of course he/she will get opinions back, everyone's going to recommend their fav software [11:42] how to edit xorg.conf file?

[11:55] AMDMutant: i'm copy sda2 into sda1 (this is now called sda5) [11:55] CaptainMorgan: the good thing is that the data isn't THAT important. also, it may be of help to say that testdisk says that the partition has more heads/cylinders than an ntfs partition. maybe testdisk would help, but it hangs the machine soon enough after asking it to analyse the structure of the disk. [11:55] then im going to delete sda2 [11:55] and resize sda5 [11:55] Hey! trying to mount an audio cd, i get wrong filesystem, bad flag or bad superblock errors on the device [11:55] asp, one normally does NOT mount audio cds [11:56] mk123: and sooo oonn... [11:56] dr_willis, well.. id dosn't automount for some reason [11:56] it* [11:57] asp, you dont mount them automatically either.. You could start a player to play them automatically.. but the cd does not get mounted like normal data cd/dvds do [11:57] You aren't supposed to mount audio CDs, as audio playback and CD ripping accesses the media directly. [11:57] asp: audio CDs don't have a file system, so ^-^ === AMDMutant is now known as AMDMutant|Away [11:57] There are some tools/addons/kioslaves and so forth for file managers that can make it appear as if you are accessing them.. but its a bit of a 'trick' === Aryan is now known as Guest76148 [11:58] !info cdfs [11:58] Package cdfs does not exist in intrepid [11:58] guntbert, dr_willis ok [11:58] if i copy a partition 'sda2' copy into an empty 'sda1' , will the new partition 'sda5' work? [11:58] asp: if you want to play or rip the audio cd open program 'sound juicer' [11:59] musictoto, ok [11:59] I saved a custom theme in gnome. Where do I find the file? I'd like to share it with others but I can't find it. [11:59] asp: more info: https://help.ubuntu.com/7.04/musicvideophotos/C/music-audiocds.html [12:00] musictoto, ok thanks [12:00] if i copy a partition 'sda2' copy into an empty 'sda1' , will the new partition 'sda5' work? [12:02] mk123, clarify what you mean by 'work' what does sda5 have to do with sda1 and sda2 at all? [12:03] sda1 was ext2 but i deleted it [12:03] i copy sda2 into the space of sda1 [12:03] this new partition is called 'sda5' [12:03] is it an exact clone like norton ghost? [12:03] or do i have to rebuild some packages? [12:03] fDCmsxmC [12:03] You made a new Logical instide an extended partition then. the data should be the same..but its not a primary partition. [12:03] damn keyboard :( [12:04] no ... [12:04] i deleted sda1 [12:04] it was empty space [12:04] then i copy/paste sda2 into the empty space [12:04] and it recreates itself as primary [12:04] with all the same properties [12:04] but will i have to rebuild things? [12:04] hello, i'm not sure if I can ask a awk script problem here? I want to process two files and find a pattern appears in one file in another file as well [12:04] sda5 IS the name used for a 'logical partition, inside an extended partition' sda1 sda2 sda3 sda4 would be the names for 'primary' partitions. One or more primaries can be a extended. the first logical would be sda5 [12:05] maybe the software will be looking for sda2 but since its sda5 there may be conflict? === john is now known as Guest77307 [12:05] its possible it may confuse some things.. or not.. depending on what the data is and whats accessing it.. [12:05] liye: check out #awk [12:06] Gnea, thank you! [12:06] hi again. i was trying to mount the cdrom since when accessing it from the desktop, it said cannot change to folder because it is not local [12:06] hi how do I install .ssh files? [12:07] ozgur, you sure you diont mean .sh files? [12:07] ozgur: what .ssh files? [12:07] Gnea: .sh files [12:07] sh name.sh [12:07] ozgur: ah, depends on the .sh file, i suppose [12:07] ozgur, you 'run' sh files.. what is it you are trying to run/install? [12:07] make sure bash is symlinked to sh first [12:07] ozgur: is it containing another program or is it a program itself? [12:07] ln -s /bin/bash /bin/sh [12:08] mk123, thats NOT a good idea [12:08] why not? [12:08] if you want to make bash the default system shell do it the RIGHT way [12:08] dr_willis, musictoto.. any ideas? [12:08] mk123, ive not had to ever do that .. 'bash foo.sh' works just fine. IF needed [12:08] dr_willing: it was j2me.. sh j2me.sh did it.. [12:08] whats the proper way? [12:08] mk123: thanks.. [12:08] dpkg-reconfigure sh i belive mk123 [12:08] !dash [12:08] /bin/sh links to the DASH shell in all releases since Ubuntu Edgy (6.10). Since DASH is not 100% compatible with the BASH shell, some scripts might break. You can make scripts execute using BASH by changing the first line of the script to « #! /bin/bash [12:09] doesnt that do the exact same thing? [12:09] Or fix the scripts. [12:09] mk123, you coudl go about deleting things at random also.. OR you could use the package manager to properly Uninstall things.. which is better? [12:09] is there any theme called "clear" for intrepid ibex? [12:09] Use the tools provided when they do the task you need to do. [12:09] good point dr_willis [12:09] are you actually a doctor? [12:09] i have a video card that has two dvi outputs.. i have 3 screens, two lcd, 1 crt. i want to use the crt for gaming. i want to replicate one of the dvi signals on the monitor from a lcd. i was thinking of getting a dvi splitter cable, however the problem is, it'll try to run both screens at teh same resolution.. what should i do? [12:09] dont know where else to ask :) [12:09] what's the command to log in as root? [12:10] ozgur: sudo su [12:10] mk123, No. :) i just recall the HUGE flamefest when dash got used as 'sh' ages ago. [12:10] DONT use sudo su either.. :) [12:10] use 'sudo -s' or 'sudo -i [12:10] because you are coherent and i can understand you very well - thats why i asked [12:10] do you have a phd? [12:10] dr_willis: what is the difference? [12:10] I uninstalled Ubuntu which was installed by Wubi, but the Boot Loader is still there, how can i remove it now? [12:11] god_julius, one is REDUNDANT and may not set up all the settings right... http://ubuntu-tutorials.com/2008/05/09/a-root-shell-on-ubuntu-the-right-way/ [12:11] Kenny: you have to replace it with something else - rewrite the MBR [12:11] bad 'habbits' vs better practices :) [12:11] dr_willis: ok thanks :) [12:11] mk123: how? [12:11] using another boot loader or windows [12:12] zeeshan, you must have a very large desk. I cant recall ever seeing a CRT that used DVI. [12:12] does intrepid ibex look like this: http://fc80.deviantart.com/fs30/f/2008/126/7/a/Clear___Intrepid_Ibex_by_salane89.jpg [12:13] mk123: with the windows vista cd? [12:13] wow thats beautiful [12:13] Kenny: yes [12:13] mine doesn't... is it because i updated instead of downloading and installing fresh? [12:13] fixmbr i think is the command - but it really messed things up when i ran it once [12:13] dr_willis the crt isnt hooked up, only the two lcd are [12:14] im trying to get the crt to work :) [12:14] maybe i can do a s-video -> vga [12:14] KalEl: i think those are special effects you can turn on, i.e compiz [12:14] zeeshan, check the crt - You sure it has a dvi conector? If you start doing too much with the signals you will get bad video. But its your games. :) [12:15] KalEl: hmm. it's not the default install.. but I guess you could customize it to look something like that if you wanted to [12:15] dr_willis when did i ever say the crt had a dvi connector? [12:15] :( [12:15] i like the top bar and the Applications drop box, mine are just cream colored [12:16] and non-transparent [12:16] zeeshan, so you wish to Split a DVI signal convert one half to vga? [12:16] KalEl: could be KDE.. I can't get my gnome-panels to look like that [12:16] why is my blocksize 16384? where does this number come from? [12:16] thats it, i never gonna use linux anymore x/ [12:16] ok thanks [12:16] dr_willis yes [12:16] and having control over what resolution it sees [12:16] Kenny: yes you will [12:16] or my other option is.. connect it through s-video [12:17] zeeshan, I can imagine that may cause all sorts of problems on both monitors.. but try it i guess.. [12:17] dr_willis the one i know it will do for sure is limited to one resolution :/ [12:17] you could always turn off one monuitor when you game :) [12:18] good idea!! [12:18] Then again. I dont see what one gains by using a CRT for gaming.. Unless you got a real little LCD and a BIG crt. [12:18] i got big lcds :P [12:18] but i still notice a 'delay' [12:18] in 2ms lcd [12:19] i hate it! [12:19] I'm having a problem installing J2ME.. it says a need to type a path but no entered path works. [12:19] whats faster than 2ms? [12:19] Sure.. sure you do.. :) have fun... === root is now known as Guest65039 [12:19] ozgur: its talking about PATH varialve, you can set it by "export PATH=$PATH:/some/new/destination" [12:20] I will stick with a nice clear DVI signal Display ..... over a VGA one.. But thats me... [12:20] I cant get wine to work on ubuntu can some one help me ? [12:20] CalvinDK: whats the problem? [12:20] oh ok [12:20] CalvinDK: how are you trying to use it?

[12:34] the standard installation instructions https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBookPro2-1_2-2/Intrepid don't give me a touchpad with two-finger scrolling and two-finger button (right click) so following an example from here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBook3-1/Intrepid#Touchpad%20(appletouch) i added these lines http://rafb.net/p/Gv6UjG83.html to " /etc/hal/fdi/policy/appletouch.fdi"....

[12:34] CoUrPsE|DeAd: well.. it's the "pipe from file" thingy.. or you can disable the sudo password for that command only.. I don't think there really is a good way [12:34] * CoUrPsE|DeAd googles. [12:34] xul, dont recommend it here [12:34] unless im in the wrong chennel theres only 2 people in the mint channel and ones a bot, whats the mint channel? [12:34] CoUrPsE|DeAd, use the NOPASSWD option [12:34] mk123: theres like 10.. is that ok? [12:34] CoUrPsE|DeAd: yes, it's a scripting language [12:34] also i make .deb from sources with checkinstall utility [12:34] joejc: linuxmint is on irc.stpotchat.org [12:34] ozgur: yes there are many PATHs [12:35] Well i only want to mkdir [12:35] CoUrPsE|DeAd: running things as root without password could be considered a huuuuuge security hole =) [12:35] so disableing sudo for that wouldnt hurt would it?

[14:10] Also, I'm seeing a number of "Unknown key released" errors in dmesg... [14:10] im startting to get insane from this [14:10] Hi, I dropped 15 mins ago a message about a problem with connecting to a wireless network which is configured on channel 13. With the "sudo iwlist wlan0 freq" command I can see that channel 13 is not supported. Does anyone know how I can enable channel 13 support on Ubuntu 8.10?

Localhost works, but it seems like PHP doesn't [14:11] Ah... Perhaps you need to set an option in /etc/modprobe/alsa-base , Ward1983 [14:12] The hda-intel driver supports a variety of models, and they've got slightly different interfaces [14:12] Oegly: if you want an easy installation of Apache and PHP go to http://www.apachefriends.org [14:12] Thank you [14:12] Even if you find one that works, it's likely that the volume controllers will end up with the wrong names or some such thing [14:12] You'll have to google for the exact option and the models that can be used though [14:12] Rounin, yes this one: options snd-hda-intel model=6stack-dig [14:12] Rounin, allready did that [14:13] Rounin, the retarded card keeps switching to headphones without me wanting it [14:13] Ah... But sometimes it works at first, but when you reboot it isn't that model after all [14:13] what problem does ubuntu have with intel HDA? [14:13] this cant be unintentionally [14:13] these problems are going on for years now [14:13] They probably can't think of a fix, just as they haven't been able to fix my stuck ctrl key it seems... [14:13] it crossed my mind to reinstall with another OS just becquse my sound is not working [14:14] what kind of retarded reason would that be.... [14:14] It's crossing my mind right now as well [14:14] Rounin, choose a dead keys layout [14:14] for your keyboard [14:15] How would that prevent my ctrl key from being stuck though? [14:15] i have sda5 ext2 inside of sda1 extended, how do get rid of sda1 and make sda5 the ext2 partition? [14:15] I thought it just disabled stuff like umlauts [14:15] ¨ and ^ and so on [14:15] I have strange problem with my sound, I don't get any sound out of my speakers but when i plug in my ear phones i get sound in them [14:16] and my speakers work fine btw [14:16] Are you using the same card as us, perhaps? hda-intel? [14:16] In that case, scroll up... [14:16] yes as a mater of fact :) [14:16] aaaaaaaaaaaah [14:16] question: If I change processor (from one amd to another), do I have to reinstall linux and windows? [14:16] Haha. [14:16] * Ward1983 starts shouting [14:16] It had to be. [14:16] I just got here I can't scrool up [14:16] How do I figure out *WHY* Ubuntu went into "Low-graphics mode"?

[14:28] because i want it to be sda1 ext2 [14:28] not sda5 inside sda1 [14:28] earthen, realtek, and as far as i know they didnt both work on it :S [14:29] Ward1983, i don't know about your chip but mine they did, I looked into it :) [14:30] mk123: IMHO the only way to do this is to move all data from your logical partitions (like sda5 etc) and then delete the partitions using fdisk or gparted and then recreate the partition as primary [14:30] mk123: once this is done, format the newly created partition as ext2 and then move back your data into it [14:31] earthen, lol you probably mean the codec it uses [14:31] mk123: though i cant understand why you have an extended partition called sda1.

Just installed Ubuntu and everything worked, so I was hoping since the VGA worked out of the box I might just need to add something to xorg or something. :P Naive of me perhaps, guess I should start digging in drivers?

[15:20] burkmat, it might still work without too much fiddling, but it's an even race between the closed and open driver for ati. Go to settings - prefs - screen resolution and see if the box for "clone screens" is ticked. can you see both screens in that window? [15:21] filthpig, Yeah, I can see both screens, and I can turn them on/off through that, but the issue is that even if I untick clone, they're clones! [15:22] filthpig, Or rather, when I apply the box auto-ticks itself and things go back to being cloned. [15:22] burkmat, are you 100% sure that your GFX card is able to do more than clone ? [15:22] I just rebuild my computer and am transferring my back up files and my whole system locks up, where should I start to trouble shoot this issue? [15:23] +i [15:23] oskude, I have 2 of these laptops and the one running XP has extended desktop, so that should be the same, right? === MenZa_ is now known as Phoenix_Aeris [15:24] burkmat, It might be that using ATI's closed driver will work better, though. what card do you have? I always use nvidias closed driver with better results than any of the open sourced alternatives, so it might be the same for ati [15:25] burkmat, could be, but there are many devices that even have the same id, still arent the same when it comes to driver... but if you get 2 separate screens with windows, i assume its a driver problem... [15:25] gotta go, dinner :) good luck, burkmat [15:25] filthpig, Thanks. :) [15:26] burkmat, and yes, if you got ati or nvidia, its (still) better to use the closed source drivers (if they still support your chip) [15:26] is there a clean way to start/stop the "NetworkManager" ? [15:26] oskude, Yeah, guess so... Will look into that then. :) [15:26] < fukid>do u get any terminal command to install it? [15:28] command 2 to install ubuntu tweak?

[17:29] [a]D, either :) [17:30] <[a]D> what is the initd for? [17:30] <[a]D> or invoke? [17:30] nickrud: s , i see it... pastebin> http://paste.ubuntu.com/94424/ [17:30] once i booted to the hdd (/dev/sdb2), the destination hard disk is not showing as candidates for install (/dev/sdb3) anyway to get around this? [17:30] [a]D, init.d is where the start/stop script lives; both simply run it === Guest97738 is now known as Styles [17:30] [a]D, /etc/init.d is where the init script relating to the service exists [17:30] sylow: i don't know, but if you're able to run a Live CD and perform a memtest successfully the hardware failure is ruled out [17:30] enerya: is there any way to fix it, that you know of? Everything worked fine in Hardy [17:30] anyway to figure out why a good portion of my desktop is showing but i can't put a window there? === _gizmo is now known as gizmo [17:31] stefg: ok, thanks for the tip, I'll try that [17:31] sylow: except that your harddrive might have died [17:31] bork1 - dont know, try using one AP and do not roam === Styles is now known as Guest89428 === Guest89428 is now known as Styles [17:31] bonhoffer, my guess it's a graphics driver issue [17:31] <[a]D> command not found it tells me [17:31] does someone sayt o me how i add subtitles to totem? [17:31] unop, normally works perfectly -- just did a reboot -- anyway to troubleshoot? [17:31] some windows get farther than others [17:32] macvr, and when you run, exactly: cd /var/lib/hal/scripts && sudo ./hal-system-power-hibernate , you still get that error? [17:32] bonhoffer, errm, i wouldn't know really [17:32] stefg I don't know that yet as I couldn't switch the drive to another computer to check if it still reads and mounts [17:32] [a]D, did you install mysql-server-5.0 ? [17:32] [a]D, make sure you have the right command line down (use tab complete where you can to avoid spelling mistakes) [17:32] sylow: Live CDs are your friend :-) [17:32] unop_, fair enough -- problems like this really suck [17:33] nickrud: s, same error... i tried now again too... [17:33] nickrud or unop_ whats the difference between restarting hald and dbus ? which modules they address? [17:33] bonhoffer, what happens when you try and maximise a window ?? [17:33] stefg: indeed when I find it again after x months.. So I'm downloading v8.10 now [17:34] unop_, odd -- it uses some of that space and is bounded on the left by half the screen, which it leaves out [17:34] enerya, hal and dbus are entirely different services - though dbus relies on hal somewhat and vice-versa - don't think they involve any kernel modules (if that's what you mean) [17:35] macvr, ok, that's the problem I'd guess. Why it's not using it, I don't know. You should file a bug report on bugs.ubuntu.com. in that report include the command I just gave you, and the output of running it. Explain that when you hit suspend, you go directly to the password prompt [17:35] bonhoffer, yea, that's odd indeed - did you ever have a panel or some sort in that space ever? [17:35] unop_ - nothing specific of kernel modules, just generality, kind of curious as to what these two restarts when restarting it [17:35] can someone please tell me how to debug sound? I have no sound for weeks or months now [17:35] yes, always [17:36] macvr, but before you do that: run sudo apt-get install --reinstall hal [17:36] someone here with problems using a hp dv5 series laptop with ubuntu ? [17:36] unop_, yes, i have never been limited before [17:36] !sound | anonever [17:36] anonever: 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).

[17:36] looks like garmin support is foobared in new releases of ubuntu [17:36] (at least in putting my windows where i want them) [17:36] Agion: you don't want that [17:36] enerya, hal is in charge of monitoring what hardware devices are plugged and unplugged .. dbus is in charge of the system communications bus - not sure about the rest of your question. [17:37] stefg: I want to get my graphics work, so I have to [17:37] bonhoffer, maybe this works [17:37] !resetpanels | bonhoffer [17:37] bonhoffer: To reset the panel to defaults, type this in a !terminal: « gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel » [17:37] !kernel | Agion [17:37] Agion: 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 [17:37] bonhoffer, make sure you backup your panel states before doing this tho [17:38] What is the name of the gnome application that starts at startup and connects me to my wifi connection? [17:38] unop_ - so i guess, i have to restart both, sometimes when the hosts is freezing and I still have access via ssh, i'd like to restart without rebooting, [17:38] is there a switch for ls that will allow me to see all files created on a given date? e.g., if I boot my machine, then run a program, how can I then use ls to see which files it created at the time of execution? [17:38] unop_, :< yeah -- it certainly changed things [17:38] Agion: basically you'll want to wait for jaunty... using a different kernel in a given ubuntu release ususally breaks things [17:38] cylux, nm-applet and network-manager [17:38] but the same restrictions are still there [17:38] in "d | anonever [17:38] anonever: 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)", what is "File -> Change Device" referring to?

I'm at the point of giving up. [17:45] <[a]D> nbeebo: i can set up mysql so easy in windows ,linux a lot more complicated [17:46] Windows has not trained you to do stuff, it's just done it automatically [17:46] Shpook, at a terminal. type ifconfig eth0 # if eth0 is the interface that is connected to the router [17:46] Windows trains you to 'not think' - You do it their way.. or not at all.. Linxu gives you tools to do tings your way [17:46] [a]D, all I ever do is run sudo apt-get install mysql-server-5.0 , and it's installed and running. [17:46] Shpook, at the second or third line in the output - you should see the IP address given to that interface [17:46] [a]D, when you run sudo invoke-rc.d mysql start , what error do you get?

[17:48] !training [17:48] A desktop course manual for Ubuntu 7.10 can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Training [17:48] nbeebo__, mount a partition as /boot copy all your old /boot files to it.. set up grubs menu.lst to use the new partition. [17:48] [a]D, now, I used rute years ago, but it's still popular [17:49] Shpook, so it seems like your interface hasn't got an IP address - which explains the odd route in the routing table. [17:49] hello [17:49] Shpook, try this. sudo dhclient ath0 === Linuturk_ is now known as Linuturk [17:49] Can any one help me out to speed up my apt-get. Its downloading at 200bytes per second. I tried different mirrors and any other downloads are much faster. [17:50] peepsalot: run memtest, check temparatures [17:50] dr_willis, hmm ill see, but if its before / on the "partition-bar" wont it boot first? [17:50] unop_: I got back "No DHCPOFFERS received" and "No working leases in persistent database" [17:51] stefg, what is a good program for monitoring temps?

Version 1:3.0.2-1ubuntu2 (intrepid), package size 121 kB, installed size 564 kB [17:52] vishalrao thanks.. :) [17:52] Shpook, it could be - but it could also be the drivers for your interface (have they ever worked?) [17:52] hischild_laptop: I did a soft reset 2 days ago, but not a hard reset or 30/30/30. I'll go try that now. [17:52] unop_: Yeah, it worked perfectly for a week, until I disabled roaming mode. [17:52] nickrud: yes ok, but 200bytes/s on several mirrors is a bit extreme. Also its not that slow on my other computer using same mirror [17:52] peepsalot: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2780 [17:53] Shpook, errm, i think you need to enable roaming mode [17:53] fwl [17:53] how can I upgrade kernel to 2.6.26?? I didn't see it on synaptic?? [17:53] 2nd Attempt: FF 3.05 is now broken after last update. Navigation buttons don't work, home page settings ignored, history destroyed and not held between sessions, etc. Reinstalling via SPM doesn't change anything. Help?? [17:53] Shpook, i'm not sure - i don't use gnome too much - but i believe roaming mode is what sets the interface in a state to recieve IP addressess automatically [17:53] Agion: that's not an upgrade. what version of ubuntu are you on? [17:53] How can I rebuild the grub menu? The forums are down. [17:53] unop_: That's where I'm at now, and nm-applet shows it connected. But I still have no internet access and can't ping the router. [17:53] Agion, Please hold down the repeats. You have had a couple of answers already, you just didnt like them [17:54] unop_: Well, when you enter the connection manually, you can set it to dhcp.

[19:27] Overshee, get to a console (CTRL+ALT+F1) - log on as yourself and run this command. sudo adduser newusername; sudo passwd newusername; sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart # and log on with newusername [19:27] anyone know what the default bluetooth passkey is ? [19:27] MilanoCollection - - post in pastebin the results of: ifconfig; iwconfig; route -n; cat /etc/network/interfaces; cat /etc/resolv.conf once you are connected to the wireless [19:27] ty [19:27] hi all =) [19:27] MilanoCollection - most likely your route table is not correct [19:27] hi [19:27] =) [19:27] HorizonXP: that depends on your device [19:27] how do you add a theme in emesene? [19:28] enerya - Ok, well then how do I fix it? [19:28] katafox - you need to use ndiswrapper to use the windows driver, google for ndiswrapper [19:28] guntbert: umm... i'm asked to enter the passkey on the device when i initiate a connection from Ubuntu's add new device wizard [19:28] hello, i am having problems setting my ubuntu server 8.04 to route packets? /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward is set to 1, and ufw is disabled, anything else that i need ? [19:28] MilanoCollection - paste the info I requested, then we will work from there [19:28] timholum, you want the machine to foward packets from an internal network to the internet ?? [19:29] timholum - route packets from where to where? [19:29] is there a truecrypt chat somewhere? [19:29] if ubuntu uses the internet to instal things like ndiswrapper, how do I install it if i can't get the computer to access the internet (i'm using a different computer to access this IRC chat, the ubuntu computer is sitting next to me) [19:29] <[a]d> unop,that tut wont do it either [19:29] unop_ : i want it to route from one internal nework to another [19:29] if dmesg doenst show anything for my bcm4304 Wlan, its not enabled right ? [19:29] enerya - I won't be able to come back to this IRC chat if I unplug my wired router to use my wireless router now. [19:29] HorizonXP: iirc you SET the key on your device and repeat that key on your PC, does that make sense? [19:29] hi, how do i change workspaces? [19:29] the second one is a tun interface with openvpn [19:29] unop_, now instead of cream i get the new background (coffee stain sorta thing) but nothing else besides mouse [19:29] timholum - you need iptables rules for FORWARDing [19:29] guntbert: it does, but that's not the problem [19:29] timholum, all you should need to do is configure default gateways on the clients [19:30] Hi all! I'm very curious: does PulseAudio in Intrepid work correctly with Skype after installation? [19:30] hi, is there a program that shows all OpenType fonts? [19:30] MilanoCollection - why not? you can always come back here onc eyou copy those info [19:30] guntbert: when I try to connect to a Windows Mobile phone, the Ubuntu wizard says, ok, use this passkey: , which is some random number. connecting to my blackberry, it doesn't show that [19:30] Overshee, does ALT+F2 bring up anything? [19:30] Because in Hardy it is a mysterious faulty bug, if I can say so. [19:30] enerya - Alright, I'll try that. [19:30] MilanoCollection - but for shortcut, compare the results now and when using wireless togive you an idea [19:31] unop_ well, after i wait on this screen for a while, the PS2 keyboard stops owrking [19:31] ok i will take a look at iptables to see how to forward enerya [19:32] HorizonXP: sorry, I don't remember such behaviour [19:32] Overshee, try a reboot here perhaps ?? [19:32] Does Ubuntu Intrepid support ext4? [19:32] unop_, does the same thing every time [19:32] and alt f2 does nothing [19:32] when it does work [19:32] enerya: if ubuntu uses the internet to install things like ndiswrapper, how do I install it if i can't get the computer to access the internet (i'm using a different computer to access this IRC chat, the ubuntu computer is sitting next to me) [19:32] Overshee, well, as you've already tried to log on as one user and that's failed - perhaps that has a roll-on effect onto the other user - which is why i am suggesting a reboot [19:33] enerya - I just sent you what I got from typing that in my terminal. [19:33] i tried to reboot [19:33] but i get the same thing every time [19:33] how do i switch users? [19:33] MilanoCollection - post in pastebin please [19:33] katafox - were your setup connected to the internet when you installed? [19:34] Overshee, you'll have to restart gdm from the console [19:34] ok, so ctrl alt f2 (or is it f1?) [19:34] guntbert: i figured it out, i just initiated the connection from the device side instead [19:35] how can I set a default icon for a filetype? [19:35] enerya we used a livecd/installer cd to install ubuntu on this laptop, i know that with the windows OS the wireless worked but when we wiped the harddrive, and installed ubuntu, it was not connected [19:35] does anyone know how to install truecrypt? whatever they offer as download is not a .deb file [19:35] enerya - Pastebin? What's that, I've never used it. [19:35] !pastebin | MilanoCollection [19:35] MilanoCollection: 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) [19:35] unop_, how do i restart gdm? [19:36] Overshee, get to a console, log in and run. sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart [19:36] HorizonXP: fine, I was a bit sloppy reading your posts then - I always initiate the connections from the device side :) [19:36] !ask [19:36] Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily).

[19:38] enerya- yes, it has an ethernet port, and it doesn't work either. i tried connecting directly to the modem and using manual configuration, but it only seems to be seeing the dial up modem. The ethernet port is on the motherboard, so I know it SHOULD work, but it doesn't [19:38] once i restart gdm it goes to the desktop with nothing but mouse === Thxpnp_South-KR is now known as Thxpnp_KR [19:39] katafox - what chips does your ethernet card have on the mobo? verify with sudo lshw -C network [19:39] fuck starbuck just got shot [19:39] >.< [19:39] anyways, any ideas unop_?

Can someone help me change it to the 12 hour format? [19:42] katafox - no results? [19:42] enerya - You just told me not to PM, I figured this would be appropriate since we're exchanging things like this that aren't other user's business. [19:42] katafox - if none, you need to enable it in your bios [19:43] MilanoCollection - everyone here is willing to help and need the info that you will provide, so it is their business to see..

I tried to compile a theme with resolutions other than tohse, and the theme compiles but doesn't work. Any suggestion? [19:49] I'm a very slow typer so please bear with my delayed reactions [19:50] Son_of_Demetrius: if you haven't completely formed a reply and typed it in under 50 seconds, no one will help you (just kidding, take your time) ;) [19:50] chaps. anyone got mustek cam working in intrepid?

Its not getting the right pins [19:53] Son_of_Demetrius, usually cable modems come with network ports and act as routers [19:53] hm, my alt key just stopped working [19:53] Son_of_Demetrius, so if you ubuntu has networking you should not have any problems [19:53] Son_of_Demetrius - if you have ethernet connection that is all pretty much you need, you dont need to update cable modem drivers, let your dsl modem take care of that [19:53] i'm having trouble mounting a hd I took out of my raid 1.. i plug it up via usb to ide convertor.. any ideas? here is dmesg: http://pastebin.com/m425fd2ad [19:53] ideas?

I guess im going to have to recompile [19:55] robinpahwa - make man pages your friend its like the partner of google..hehe [19:55] DVA5912, that might be your only option.

Can someone help me change it to the 12 hour format? [20:04] Dust needs making default in ubuntu :) its the dogs ballericks [20:04] Son_of_Demetrius: if it is ethernet, then the cable-modem is probably configured to handle "new" hosts on ist network (see dhcp...), but with usb - no idea, but read, what usser said to you too [20:04] robinpahwa, then g++/gcc should display error message together with the line it occured on [20:05] Well any1 can assist me wit Ubuntu installation, everytime it lags out [20:05] can I encrypt my whole harddisc with truecrypt without formatting anything and will everything still work?

Here is a screenshot http://www.multiplix.co.uk/screenshot.png [20:09] Brai will fill out your name [20:09] and restarting didnt work either [20:09] BrainBrainBrain: you start the name and then use [20:09] ah [20:09] It runs on other PCs fine and was downloaded via Torrent [20:10] Overshee, err sorry, i meant restart the machine. sudo reboot [20:10] I believe its a kernel Hardware error [20:10] fbnts, your screenshot just shows the chat session [20:10] but Im not sure what to do in order 2 fix it [20:10] robinpahwa, not really i've never programmed guis in gtk, used wxWidgets in python but thats about it, why dont you give java a shot? [20:10] tried all_generic_ide [20:10] So once I'm connected...do I go through Pacet Manager to update and grab drivers to kick my mb and chipset into gear? [20:10] Hi! I need help installing an Nvidia 9600 Gt Video Card [20:10] i did a hard reboot, ntohign [20:10] same problem [20:10] is it hardware? [20:11] Son_of_Demetrius, yea basically [20:11] !enter > CJ_ [20:11] CJ_, please see my private message [20:11] Down with Israel! [20:11] Son_of_Demetrius, not sure about mb and chipset. is there any particular problem u have with it? [20:11] usser: I made an app in netbeans(windows platform) ... when I tried to executed the jar file here on Linux ... it didn't showed up the way it looked on windows [20:11] What about this 'architecture' recognition I hear about..what do I need to download there? [20:11] Son_of_Demetrius, ubuntu doesnt usually need to install drivers for your devices if it works it works if it doesnt im not sure simple update will fix it [20:12] Overshee, it doesn't appear to be that way. can you try reinstalling nautilus? sudo aptitude reinstall nautilus gnome-settings-daemon gnome-panel [20:12] usser: And there were errors like GTK+.... Failied [20:12] Son_of_Demetrius, run 32 bit and you wil be fine with archiectture [20:12] is 200 mb swap enough for 2 gb memory? [20:12] ah sorry, try refreshing that url - I have uploaded a new one [20:12] robinpahwa, u use gtk+ with java? [20:12] I think I have an Athlon 2.5 or something...Gigabyte mb that's no longer supported by the manufacturer :( [20:12] robinpahwa, i dont understand [20:12] Sup all [20:12] Son_of_Demetrius, linux doesnt have those limitations once supported always supported [20:13] 32bit...gotchya [20:13] Son_of_Demetrius, well almost always [20:13] Is there anyone who ca give me 1 on 1 assistance? [20:13] is 500 mb swap enough for 2 gb memory? [20:13] anyone know a good defragmantation utility? i am looking as a partition with over 26% file fragmentation and it is starting to effect performance [20:13] Anyone here play Runescape? [20:13] nbeebo_, not if you expect to suspend etc [20:13] fbnts, OK [20:14] yowshi1, What partition format are you dealing with [20:14] robinpahwa, did u use visual forms designer in netbeans, positioning buttons, dialogs etc? that sometimes can screw up on different platforms, i'd suggest manually specifying the positions with Layouts [20:15] Jack_Sparrow: ext3 [20:15] Jack_Sparrow, then what would be enough? sorry and what exactly does suspend? :S lol [20:15] Hi all! Anyone knows if it's possible to create a wifi access point using ubuntu, with a atheros ar424x card? [20:15] yowshi1, I found info when I googled it.. [20:15] hey guys, what's something cool i could do with spare/old computers? [20:15] usser: Yes, I have develped a desktop application, it was screwed but why errors ? [20:15] ok finished unop_ [20:15] sudo reboot? [20:15] Overshee, yea [20:15] fbnts, I've got the same thing - see my screenshot [20:15] http://ubuntu-pics.de/bild/7680/darkice_aJ3Iqm.png [20:15] robinpahwa, im not sure, can u pastebin the error messages, i cant tell unless i see it. [20:16] !pastebin | robinpahwa [20:16] Jack_Sparrow: that was step 2. step 1 is always ask the gurus here maybe something works better with ubuntu or ubuntu has some utility in it that i dont know of yet [20:16] robinpahwa: 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) [20:16] nbeebo_, make it at least 2 gig.. === felix-da-catz_zz is now known as felix_da_catz [20:16] i was under the impression ext3 didnt need defragging [20:16] yowshi1, It can be defragged, but it is generally a non - issue [20:16] One last question...when I connect to the server for updates and then want to install third party software..do I need to know the a-z of the sudo apt-get command feature? [20:16] why do I get Unable to find a suitable server [20:16] oh, ok - it just looks a bit 'odd' on the menus [20:16] eseven73: i was always told that too.."thats why there are no defraggers for linux"... hmmmm [20:16] nothing unop_ [20:17] fbnts, I've got the solution [20:17] Jack_Sparrow: well then i must not be in the general population :) [20:17] eseven73, its only part of the truth :) like any filesystem ext3 becomes fragmented over time, its just the extent of the fragmentation is lessened by smart write algorithms [20:17] duffydack, actually, there are defraggers for ext3 [20:17] !fragmentation [20:17] Sorry, I don't know anything about fragmentation [20:17] what does suspend do? [20:17] !defrag [20:17] The default Ubuntu filesystem (ext3) is engineered to avoid fragmentation issues in most cases, see http://linkpot.net/behead/ for a simple example on how it achieves this. [20:17] nbeebo_: suspend is putting your PC to "sleep" instead of switching off [20:17] fbnts, open the downloaded .tar.gz and extract the "panelbg_black.png" [20:17] usser: what is that line !pastebin [20:17] yeah i know there are, but i dont know which one to trust.. id rather the distro be nice enough to supply one.. [20:18] fbnts, you then need to set it as panel background: right click on it, then background, and then use custom background [20:18] what's distro mean please? [20:18] Overshee, what happens when you use this. sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop; startx [20:18] guntberg, can i suspend and download torrent at the same time? [20:18] guntbert* sorry [20:18] Hi. where can i get ubuntu wallpapers, like the dawn of ubuntu or that one with a bird on it [20:18] Son_of_Demetrius, it's a flavor of Linux [20:18] can you burn blu-ray disks on ubuntu? [20:18] Jack_Sparrow: though it has been that this system has been running for a couple years now upgrades downlaods deletes more downloads and such windows wouldnt have lasted a quarter of the time between defrags [20:18] robinpahwa, !pastebin is a command to a bot to tell you info about pastebin [20:18] flavor...explain please :( [20:18] Son_of_Demetrius, like Ubuntu, debian, SuSe, Fedora,... [20:19] nbeebo_: no, when your PC is suspended it doesn't need much/any power [20:19] it's all Linux, but with different software preinstalled [20:19] eseven73, http://www.itworld.com/nls_unixfrag040929 [20:19] duffydack, They are more dangerous than a fragmented drive for the most part [20:19] Still lost...is it thematic? [20:19] partly... [20:19] guntbert, so all it really does for the average user is making it boot up faster? [20:19] nbeebo_: in windows it was called standby/hibernate [20:19] same thing unop_...... [20:19] is there any way I can get my x-fi sound card to work? [20:20] ah Geier your a star! thats worked perfectly! now just to look at the Emerald theming! [20:20] guntbert, yeah never used that either [20:20] fbnts, :) [20:20] Overshee, ok - leave that desktop as-is - and head back to the console wherre you issued the command (CTRL+ALT+F1) and see if any errors are spit out to the terminal. [20:20] Hi. where can i get ubuntu wallpapers, like the dawn of ubuntu or that one with a bird on it [20:20] hblount, gnome-look.org is a good source [20:20] unop_, my keyboard refuses to work now [20:20] nbeebo_: yes..., if you are on a notebook you will definitely want it, on a desktop-PC maybe :) [20:20] hblount, or google for ubuntu wallpaper [20:20] ill try pluggin in a USB one.... [20:20] Do I need to download the Alternative ISO image to help with my comp's spex? [20:21] Son_of_Demetrius, they're all _Linux_, but they come with different software, settings, etc [20:21] How can I increase the overall audio volume in 8.10? DVD/music is fairly quiet. I'd like to boost my audio by about 2-10 db [20:21] hblount, kde-look.org [20:21] guntbert, ok :D [20:21] whenI do net join - U administrator I get cannot join as standalone machine [20:21] hblount: google images is a great source, and the ubuntu homepage has a lot of them hidden away [20:21] thanks guys [20:21] guntbert, ok last question, what is good amount of swap for 2 gb ram pc? [20:21] my god, is that unixfrag article serious? backup your partition and reformat it then restore it? [20:21] Son_of_Demetrius, there is a Linux for servers, a Linux for end-users, a Linux for mobile clients, etc [20:21] in smb.conf, is there a difference between typing "public = yes" and "guest ok = yes". are they the same thing? [20:21] nbeebo_, a little over 2GB i would say [20:21] hblount, you mean that one? http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php/Dawn+Of+Ubuntu+%2B+Ubuntu+Spring?content=54014 [20:22] i used google before, but i want certain ones that i've seen [20:22] unop, alright thanks [20:22] nbeebo_, depends if you want to be hibernating or not [20:22] yaya [20:22] end-user is me huh?..wow!..I'm learning things :) [20:22] hblount: the bird one is from 8.04 [20:22] nbeebo_, if you are not - then about 512MB should be enough [20:22] usser, thanks [20:22] hblount, no problem [20:22] Son_of_Demetrius, yes ;) [20:22] So I look for end-user stuff.coz I'm not gonna use my comp for online stuff...just audio recording [20:23] unop_, when i plug a USB keyboard in it wont do anything either, just like the PS2 didnt [20:23] unop_, i dont really know yet but just in case, i can always partition later.. so 2048 would be perfect? [20:23] has anybody heard of problems with menu bar being unresponsive and hanging for a while? [20:23] nbeebo_, aye [20:23] usser: yes Here it is http://paste.ubuntu.com/94525/ [20:23] Son_of_Demetrius, Ubuntu might be for you [20:23] unop_, ok thanks, thanks to u too guntbert [20:23] hold on [20:23] lvr, its different public = yes allows anyone to connect guest ok = yes allows to connect people who specify valid guest account that should also be setup somewhere in smb.conf [20:23] nbeebo_: yw:) [20:24] Son_of_Demetrius, take this neat test to tell which one is for you: http://www.zegeniestudios.net/ldc/ [20:24] ok thanks [20:24] Overshee, hmm, very strange - i'm not sure what to suggest except maybe reinstall [20:24] Son_of_Demetrius: From what I've seen, you should start with Ubuntu. Most people should [20:24] ty Geier..coz windows never did nuthin right with my DAT [20:24] there's a lot of learning for you in Linux, i suppose [20:24] How can I increase the overall audio volume in 8.10? DVD/music is fairly quiet. I'd like to boost my audio by about 2-10 db? [20:24] but don't give up [20:24] Jack_Sparrow: grrr i cant find a linux version of a defrag utility via google. eveyething i find is for windows [20:24] Hi,can anyone help me updating libsqlite3-0 ? I currently have version 3.4.2 and i need at least 3.5.9 [20:24] sigh, unop_, a linuxmint which (i think) is based on ubuntu didnt work etiehr [20:24] anyone? know how I can get my x-fi card working? [20:25] yowshi1: i heard of pyfrag or something whiile ago, use at your own risk tho... [20:25] I'm checkin out that link you gave me Geier...wait a sec [20:25] yowshi1, Let me look for a sec, I may have it bookmarked [20:25] robinpahwa, hm im not sure? are u programming in java? i dont understand why then u used gtk at all [20:25] how involved is it to make a Ubuntu box with 2 nic cards use teh 2nd NIC as a "stright pass through" in essentiall both directions? i'd like to make the 2nd nick act as though it were just a switch port on the same IP Network [20:25] I' [20:25] Overshee, is this a brand new install of ubuntu ?? did it used to work before alright? [20:25] straight^ [20:25] anyone running 8.10 on an acer apsire one? if so, pm me [20:25] arthus: you probably have to compile the creative open source driver most likely [20:25] i guess i`d have to test a few in virtualbox.. [20:25] Jack_Sparrow: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-general-1/defrag-on-linux-331862/ [20:25] Jack_Sparrow: they say ext3 defrags itself on the fly or something but not according to my drive readouts [20:25] etyrnal: bridging .. 'brutil' i think? [20:25] kitche: me? compile? uh-oh [20:25] <\Kira> I installed a new geforce4 card, and now the strait lines on my screen appear almost to vibrate. I cant really put my finger on it, but its a wierd effect. Is this just the card, or a linux thing? Also, this doesnt happen in 3d games [20:25] sirstan, thanks [20:25] I was wondering if it's possible to save authentication ino in ubuntu like it is in debian so I don't have to keep typing in a password all the time. I'm using ubuntu 8.10 [20:26] usser: I didn't used Gtk... I programmed it in netbeans on my WIndows Platform and checked it across Linux [20:26] sirstan, so i might be able to just doa a man brutil ? [20:26] unop_, never installed on this computer before, and its brand new [20:26] nathanhelp: linux is not ambivilent to file fragmentation. [20:26] etyrnal: sure :D [20:26] robinpahwa, weird... can i look at the source code? [20:26] unop_: installed last night but didnt work >.< [20:26] I'm trying to install the devel version of bluefish. I'm getting errors trying to run ./autogen.sh it's missing apps(that i didn't know i needed to have installed. i have build-essential what else should i need? [20:26] sirstan, thanks... [20:26] \Kira: sounds like your refresh rate is set incorrectly [20:26] Hi,can anyone help me updating libsqlite3-0 ? I currently have version 3.4.2 and i need at least 3.5.9 [20:26] Overshee, what kind of graphics card does it have? [20:26] sirstan: I know. That article will explain lots of things for Jack_Sparrow [20:26] <\Kira> kitche: how would I fix this? [20:26] integrated unop_ [20:27] \Kira: by changing the refresh rate to a number that you don't notice that happening on [20:27] its like a 4 or 5 year old shuttle [20:27] Overshee, do you know what make? [20:27] nathanhelp, I am aware that it isnt necessary [20:27] nathanhelp, But there are exceptions [20:27] when f-stop is installed in a distribution of ubuntu is the current version of sqlite, or any version, installed? [20:27] <\Kira> kitche: how would I change my refresh rate, though? Im running kubunut if that matters [20:27] nathanhelp: something fairly simple would be nice and not just information telling me why i shouldnt have a partition thats 26%+ non contingious [20:27] * sirstan 'defragments' his server by copying all the data off, and then back on :( [20:27] \Kira: the same way you change the resolution [20:28] this might be a stupid question, but if a wireless network is installed, is there an option to scan for availible networks using the network_manager ? [20:28] usser: Here it is http://paste.ubuntu.com/94529/ [20:28] <\Kira> kitche: oh, opps. Thanks :) [20:28] overdub, I just bought a couple of the shuttles.. What version of ubuntu did you use and were there any tricks to it [20:28] just read the article. There are explanations why and where you can do such things. [20:28] unop_ barebones shuttle sb51g [20:28] omni_matter, it does it auto. as long as you have enabled wireless [20:28] ...and how. [20:28] Jack_Sparrow, you talking to me? [20:28] !who > nathanhelp , [20:28] nathanhelp, please see my private message [20:28] Overshee, is that the make of the graphics card? [20:29] unop_, its integrated shuttle barebones mobo [20:29] Overshee, , I just bought a couple of the shuttles.. What version of ubuntu did you use and were there any tricks to it [20:29] Jack_Sparrow, 8.10 isnt working >.< [20:29] Overshee, get to a console - and run this command. lspci | grep -i vga [20:29] anyone running ubuntu 8.10 on a netbook with Intel Atom cpu? if so, pm me [20:29] how do I select which sound device to use? [20:29] k gimme a sec [20:29] hey, can i make use the cd-autostart-app also with wine? [20:29] unop_ i was afraid of that... could "radio hardware status changed to DISABLED" in dmesg have anything to do with that ? [20:29] Jack_Sparrow: thanks jack. I got messaged from three people, who were obviously watching so i decided to address them all. [20:30] np [20:30] robinpahwa, are u just learning? why did u use org.jdesktop? [20:30] Son_of_Demetrius, are you getting "File not Found"-Errors? Because I am [20:30] how can I change the resolution of the login screen? [20:30] omni_matter, hmm quite likely - does you comp/laptop have a button to enable wireless?? [20:31] unop_ : unfortionatly yes, and the only thing google has done for me sofar is show me sites with people with the same problem and pro-linux user fixes [20:31] wich i... cant quite read [20:31] unop_ VGA compatible controller: Intel corporation 82845G/GL [Brookdale-G]/GE Chipset Integrated Graphics Device (rev 03) [20:31] usser: I don't know I just dragged and dropped certain swing elements ... the code is automatically created [20:31] ext4 should fix the ext3 fragmentation problems hopefully. [20:31] hi [20:31] !hi [20:31] Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! [20:31] hi [20:32] i have screen and want to know how to make a new screen... how do i do that? [20:32] nathanhelp: ok how do i make fsck -a run on /dev/sdb4 on the next reboot? [20:32] yowshi1: http://freshmeat.net/projects/defrag/?topic_id=136 lol dont run it its 10 yrs old [20:32] Geier..I'm taking a Linux test at the moment..please wait a moment...I tried to load some Third Party Software...but since I'm not online with Ubuntu..I can't do aquat with the Termianl command [20:32] usser: I just wanted to know if I develop my app on netbeans while on windows, will it work for me on Linux the same way [20:32] meoblast001, what do you mean [20:32] Jack_Sparrow: Oh sorry. There was a mixup i think. I re-read the IRC section, and I saw your name come up on the question. my apologies :) [20:32] np [20:32] robinpahwa: java is the write once, debug everywhere language.. but gnerally.. it should be fiarly close. [20:32] Geier: screen can be used to have multiple terminals..... how do i access more than one of them [20:32] robinpahwa, oh, i see. i'd suggest doing it manually while you starting, but yea the code you pasted should work just fine on linux [20:33] meoblast001, ah you mean the console command [20:33] robinpahwa: I develop a java app in eclipse w/ ~10 people using linux.mac.windows and we occasionally have small issues.. [20:33] Geier: idk.... the key combination to switch to a new terminal in screen [20:33] yowshi1: I dont know that. providing potentially useful links are about as far as I go today. Try asking Jack_Sparrow. [20:33] meoblast001, Ctrl+A, then C to create a new screen [20:33] Jack_Sparrow: how do i make fsck -a run on /dev/sdb4 on the next reboot? [20:33] usser: But you just saw errors [20:33] Geier: how do i switch between the screens? [20:33] !fsck [20:33] fsck is the FileSystem ChecKer, which runs automatically when you boot if you didn't shutdown cleanly. Type "man fsck" for information on running it manually. The command "sudo shutdown -F -r now" will force a reboot and a filesystem check; "sudo touch /fastboot" will skip a filesystem check at next reboot [20:34] meoblast001, Ctrl+1,2,3,4, whatever [20:34] Geier: k thanx [20:34] Jack_Sparrow: that wont do an offline defrag for him though. [20:34] meoblast001, sorry, wrong [20:34] Ctrl+A, then 1,2,3,4,... [20:34] Geier: ok [20:34] how can I change the resolution of the login screen? [20:34] is it possible to mount the cdrom of another ubuntu computer over a network? [20:34] robinpahwa, im sorry to say i dont know where they coming from, try recompiling the code on linux see if that gives any errors, its most likely some missing libraries, javac should tell more [20:34] yowshi1: question. Why do you want to do it on the next reboot? [20:34] Geier: control A then C wont work [20:35] meoblast001, it's always ctrl+a, then the comman, i.e. c for create, and the numbers to switch between them [20:35] vynlwombat, sure look into nfs or sshfs [20:35] meoblast001, twice [20:35] NicEXE, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=151192 [20:35] nathanhelp: because /dev/sdb4 is my /home directory and i cant umount it [20:35] cc [20:35] meoblast001, you need to create two screens first [20:35] sirstan: ok, I never used eclipse - I want to build desktop application , and eclipse needs to download plugin for the same .... isint ? [20:35] how do i create new screens [20:35] cool thanks [20:35] yowshi1, why cant you unmount your homedir? [20:35] reminds me, touch forcecheck or something similar on the root of the partition also does check [20:35] sirstan: says it is busy [20:35] cant remember the actual name of it tho, forcecheck sounds wrong [20:36] ideas unop_? [20:36] yowshi1: log off all 'users', login as root, unmountit. or boot in single user mode. [20:36] sirstan, There is a way to umount a drive you are running from but , not a good solution [20:36] Geier: control + a + c doesnt do anything [20:36] hey [20:36] meoblast001, did you start screen first? [20:36] im wondering if someone can help me [20:36] Jack_Sparrow: I am aware.. but if no users are logged into his system, he should be able to /safely/ umount home. [20:36] does anyone know about udp floods [20:36] and how to stop them [20:36] im being flooded [20:37] . [20:37] Englebert: configure your router to deny udp packets that aren't DNS requests? [20:37] sirstan, I dont agree.. but ok [20:37] well its my server its in a datacentre [20:37] meoblast001, it's not all three together [20:37] i done tcpdump [20:37] usser: I don't know how to compile a desktop application, the src folder contains many files [20:37] Englebert: you cant do anything on your server.. you need your ISP to block it upstream. [20:37] and its got requests coming in from one server [20:37] all the time [20:37] meoblast001, first ctrl+a, then release the buttons, then c [20:37] Overshee, not really - except maybe force the video controller to use the xserver-xorg-video-intel driver in xorg.conf [20:37] Englebert, this is ubuntu support, please find a different room for that kind of assistance [20:37] hi, are there any known issues with the wireless stuff in hardy, as in, if roaming is activated im able to connect to any wlan, if i configure manually, it doesnt, chipset is a ipw220 [20:37] duffydack, /forcefsck [20:37] usser: Netbeans do it for me automatically [20:37] robinpahwa, can u open the project in netbeans on linux? [20:37] how would i do that unop_? [20:37] i said Alt + 4 [20:37] im running uubuntu [20:38] stupid client [20:38] on my server [20:38] Englebert: talk to your iSP. only they can fix it. [20:38] sorry [20:38] usser: I have Netbeans on Windows [20:38] k [20:38] thx i will email them [20:38] robinpahwa, thats the kind of hand-holding that im against :) netbeans hides all the underpinnings from you [20:38] Geier...based on my dumber than dumb replies to the test...the Linux test recommended OpenSuSe..is my pc too slow for Ubuntu 8.10?..I've got 512mb RAM and a 64bit processor...I think? [20:38] im trying to get used to irssi [20:38] Englebert private msg me. [20:38] robinpahwa, install netbeans on your linux box [20:38] Son_of_Demetrius, that should be fine [20:38] My present spex should be fine?

[21:03] Jack_Sparrow, arthus: True. Ok so the next step for arthus to try would be disabling the onbaord card to see if the linux picks up and uses the x-fi? [21:04] VoiceBuntu: start the update manager and do an update over the internet [21:04] VoiceBuntu, feisty is eol and needs to have repos changed before you try to upgrade [21:04] VoiceBuntu, just so u know, 8.10 is here [21:04] nathanhelp: ok, so I should disable card using BIOS? [21:04] nathanhelp, I told him that a long time ago [21:04] zoed, the problem is i can't access my desktop menu [21:04] it worked thankyou so much [21:04] i installed ubuntu on an old disk because i could not get the partititioner to use my new sata disks. After the installation i still cannot access my ata disks. I pasted the dmesg on http://paste.ubuntu.com/94545/ the important messages are about line 398 and further, and something related about irq22 on line 524. Obviously i don have a clue about what it means. [21:05] the alt-f2 worked [21:05] i have fluxbox and gnom is not installed [21:05] VoiceBuntu: try pressing "Alt-F2" and entering "update-manager" [21:05] * sirstan wishes his wireless card could broadcast over whatever frequency cell phones use.. or alternatively.. his bluetooth adapter could kill bluetooth headsets. [21:05] arthus: I would suggest you try it. that would be a first step in troubleshooting the sound issues. Jack_Sparrow did mention it before but you mightve missed it.

[21:12] sirstan, i mean data on /home for example [21:12] how do I get the pdfs to stop showing their contents [21:13] nbeebo_: not unless an application is using it when the kernel kills its process (ie, if you were working on a document and open office was killed because you were out of ram) [21:13] nbeebo_: keep an eye on top and make sure you have free memory [21:13] sirstan, oh ok like i thought, thanks for ur help!

[21:25] you dont make extended tho, its logical, in the exteded area [21:25] yaris123456789: rentacoder.com [21:25] duffydack, the whole computer is about 1.5 years old [21:25] hotmail on thunderbird can't connect to localhost server anyone with some knowledge [21:26] I'm trying to connect my eee-pc, running heron, to an XP machine's shared printer.

[21:26] alright thanks alot [21:26] I've tried going via system-administration-printing and hitting "new printer", but the browser only shows one machine in the workgroup - the one I'm using. [21:26] nathanhelp: ok, I disabled the onboard sound. now no sound card is detected at all [21:27] Hfuy: what printer is it? [21:27] it might warn you about makin boot in a logical partition, just go with it.. it just explains why it might be a problem [21:27] Is this generally expected to work, or are we pissing into the wind here?

[21:27] nathanhelp: looking at it now, not quite sure what to do with it. :P [21:28] Hfuy: do you have samba installed? [21:28] Certainly, use it all the time.

[21:28] hotmail on thunderbird can't connect to localhost server anyone with some knowledge [21:28] Hfuy: is it possible your not enumerating the printer? [21:28] The "new printer" windows's "browse" window only shows the local machine, and none of the other workgroup members. [21:29] rainabba: a non-trivial amount of time. [21:29] sirstan: well, I guess. A lot of things are possible! [21:29] arthus: It has a potential solution but i cant really help you with it any further. im a ubuntu noob myself, but i know how to search. Jack_sparrow said x-fi has probs. The Beta driver *Might* be able to get your x-fi working but I have no idea as my sound probs are different. [21:29] ok, I'll give it a try [21:29] sirstan: <1 hr, 1-5 hrs, >5 hrs (your best guess for a quick storage sub-system)?

I just see "33%" on the progress bar. [21:32] I'm not familiar with BusyBox [21:32] Shall I take that as a "we don't know" [21:32] Hfuy: prob. [21:32] OK. [21:33] Why is the option even in the prefs window if it doesn't work? [21:33] Hfuy works fine for me. if you cant see shares it seems like your not logging into the windows server. [21:33] Fine, maybe not, but how would I do that [21:33] I come with deep and spiritual advice for installing wireless cards: Disable the "uncomplicated firewall" first.

[21:40] can you help me please? [21:40] jumcore, i would purge it then install it again.. [21:40] the problem is that the share is called "Stuff (F)" so nautilus can't handle the space.

[21:46] crimsun i dont care really what gets used, however i would prefer to figure out what's wrong with pulse so i can fix it and report a bug if needed [21:46] alexvd, well you know the issue. start with that. it's not a problem with ubuntu. [21:46] nippz: ok, can you describe the symptom(s)? [21:46] does ubuntu uses lilo by default ? [21:46] Hfuy, can you ping it?

[21:47] Hfuy, can u ping xpbox from ubuntu? [21:47] at that point i have no pulse sound on system [21:47] I can smb:\\xpbox\ from the ubuntu side, but I just get an empty window. [21:47] matboy: maybe you installed lilo? [21:47] alsa still works at that point, so its not the card hardware [21:47] Hfuy, try pinging it [21:47] Hfuy, by name and by ip [21:47] nippz: ah, that's a well-known problem cased by the pulseaudio daemon dying [21:47] Hfuy: lemme guess: that winxp box has no password, right? [21:47] ok perfect [21:48] crimsun so i can just make a cronjob for every 15min or so to check and restart?

[21:48] Hibernation doesn't work for me. I'm working on a Dell Inspiron 1545 laptop. When I go to hibernate, things seem to work nicely. When I resume, Ubuntu starts to load, and just before the login screen appears, the machine freezes over. I see a mouse pointer, but I can't move it. Ctrl+Alt+Backspace/Delete do not work as well. If I turn off compiz, I might be able to hibernate and resume once, but not twice. Anyone has any idea what's wrong, or [21:48] what should I do to find out more about this? === Odd-rationale_ is now known as Odd-rationale [21:48] nippz: well, you can, sure, but it's not really the best way. really we want gnome-session to restart it, so we're considering that approach. [21:49] ok new issue I am using static ip address and using wireless i cannot reach local servers. wired connection works, running 8.10 [21:49] does wubi support suspend/hibernate? [21:49] crimsun sure, but i have yet to figure how to insert random processes into the `autorestart` bit since no one ive talked to knows how [21:49] Hfuy, cool now do sudo apt-get install winbind and edit your /etc/nsswitch.conf so that those two lines read something like that "hosts: files wins mdns4_minimal dns mdns4 networks: files wins" [21:49] Hfuy: neither the admin nor any user on the xp box has a password, right? [21:49] nbeebo_: there is no --reconfigure option for apt-get.... [21:49] if you have a good link i'd really appreciate that [21:49] and for the record [21:49] jumcore, maybe aptitude instead of apt-get [21:49] stefg: I believe it does, but it shouldn't need one in either case. [21:49] Other XP machines can get into this one no problem. [21:49] i'm REALLY MAD that that functionality was `depreciated` [21:49] ~_~ [21:50] >_< [21:50] Hfuy, after that sudo /etc/init.d/winbind restart [21:50] usser: Sorry, after what? [21:50] how can i checkto see whether the kernel on this machine had bridging compiled in (or available as module?)? [21:50] Hfuy: you need to set up one usaer with a password on the xp box to make samba authentication work. use this user account and password to connect from teh ubuntu side [21:50] nippz: what functionality? [21:50] Hfuy, read above about nsswitch.conf, note wins in the two lines i pasted === Jguy| is now known as Jguy [21:51] stefg: The ubuntu side isn't even giving me the option to enter a username and password.

[21:53] burkmat, you don't know how to use nfs, but you're using it for the nfs server? you're a masochist. [21:54] linny1: I believe it merges by default. You can have it prompt for overwrite, auto skip, etc. and -R I think is recursive. but check the man page [21:54] server irc.whatnet.org [21:54] No, ctrl-alt-backspace will restart it.

[21:54] I never tried but.. [21:54] I'd do an "init 3". [21:54] I've just installed Skype on Intrepid and when my friend tries calling me he gets the error "The person you are calling has problems with the soundcard which Skype will help to fix" and when I try to answer the call, nothing happens. [21:54] ok ill try that one [21:54] arrrghhh, Well... I'm looking for something using NFS-ish ideas, but not necessarily NFS. :P [21:55] Perhaps "runlevel 3", if that doesn't bring down. [21:55] usser, Alright, excellent. Will google that, thanks alot! [21:55] nippz: i'm investigating that approach as a fix; i'll probably get around to it next month [after the holiday] [21:55] burkmat, that doesn't make sense. nfs is fairly easy to implement, just use the kernel driver. [21:55] Jake1, isn't it runlevel 1? [21:55] DragonLotus: it also doesnt define what the default settings are if it gets two folders the same [21:55] burkmat, it may be slower than nfs though because of all the encryption ssh does [21:55] For root, single user, yes. [21:55] burkmat, i've set it up on ubuntu, and there's plenty of nfs guides. [21:55] is there any way to boot an iso file from a usb flash disk? (I do not want to open/modify the bootable iso file) [21:55] ya, why does my video have weird lines that split it up at approximately 1/3 from the top of the screen i can see horizontal tearing when watching videos. [21:55] Three should be "novideo". [21:55] burkmat, and with nfs you can restrict clients per IP. [21:55] linny1: I'm pretty sure it auto merges, much like windows [21:56] burkmat: nfs is worth the bit of setting up it rrequires [21:56] just restart computer, way easier :D [21:56] nfs was a little bit of a pain, but nothing too crazy. [21:56] Hfuy: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus/+bug/185756 [21:56] and my nvidia drivers worked after a reboot === rob is now known as Guest16566 [21:56] usser, arrrghhh and ssmy: Alright, well I'll try all the solutions suggested actually... Experience is always good. Thanks all 3 of you. :) [21:56] linny1: just create a scenario. Make folder a, put in test, then put in textfilea.txt and make folder b and put in test/textfileb.txt then run the copy from a to b [21:56] DragonLotus: thanks for your help :) [21:56] That brings up an interesting point, though. I'd just use the packages. [21:57] Anyone know how to get intrepid to take the nvidia drivers? [21:57] stefg: But I'm using smb: not network: [21:57] DragonLotus: ill do that thanks [21:57] gl [21:57] dragonLotus: take? [21:57] !runlevels | Jake1 [21:57] Jake1: In Ubuntu all runlevels except 0,1 and 6 are by default equal. Also keep in mind that Ubuntu now uses !Upstart instead of System V init so there is normally no /etc/inittab. [21:57] DragonLotus: what drivers do you mean [21:57] Oh. [21:57] Hey, is the package dhcpd not available in the repos? It's telling me I cannot install it [21:58] ubottu: Good to know, man. [21:58] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [21:58] iSchadow: I tried to use the hardware drivers tool to install 177 for my 9500 but it hung on the downloading and installing part [21:58] That because there's no single-user root mode? [21:58] Wait, though... wouldn't 0 be reboot? [21:58] DragonLotus the 177 ones worked fine for me [21:58] DragonLotus, mine worked fine after available updates were installed [21:59] jparishy: you need to pick a package that provides a dhcpd, such as dhcp3-server [21:59] iSchadow: the only update remaining is for an infrared control that I don't have. [21:59] Jake1: will you pastebin your kernel ring buffer (via dmesg) so we can see the spew? [21:59] This is a bit alarming. [21:59] Pici: Ah, had no idea. Thanks [21:59] Jake1: 0 is halt, 1 is single user and 6 is reboot iirc. [21:59] This seems to have been a bug in nautilus for almost a year. [21:59] crimsun: sure... just the dmesg output [21:59] hi .. the built-in camera does n't work .. any body had like this and solved it? [21:59] ? [21:59] This is a critical bug in core features. [21:59] my sound card just started producing a steady and quite audible hum, any idea how to make it stop ? [21:59] When is it going to be fixed?! [22:00] I was reading a doc for debian and it said to install dhcpd, and thought it might as well work for ubuntu [22:00] is there a seperate config other than network/interfaces for network-manager? i want to prevent it from setting up several other devices like pan0, wlan0 and wmaster0 [22:00] iSchadow: I just ran the tool, apparently the driver is installed. I guess that's cool, but then why does nvidia-xconfig break? Should I simply remove the RgbPath token from the Files section? [22:00] DragonLotus: you tried rebooting and running update again ? [22:00] linny1: yup. [22:00] Jake1: well, i presume it's being sent there in addition to some other log file (/var/log/kern.log?). you may pastebin just the log file if you feel that's sufficient. [22:00] i can't play some dvds uwing vlc / mplayer; what else do i need to install? [22:00] hmm [22:00] linny1: I rebooted and got a problem where ubuntu was in low graphics mode because it couldn't parse the xorg.conf file [22:00] does this seem alright? im installing from the sda3 partition, i want to reboot and be able to boot into the new / [22:01] sorry, forgot screenshot lol [22:01] Hfuy, can you connect with smbclient from command line? ie smbclient \\\\ipaddress\\sharename [22:01] anyone here use likewise [22:01] DragonLotus: im no pro but ive never had trouble with those theyve allways been pretty easy to get going [22:01] ciao [22:01] hi, can anyone help me with a connection prolem? [22:01] DragonLotus: alternatively you could try install from nvidia.com [22:01] usser: Hang on [22:01] :) [22:01] does this seem alright?http://data.fuskbugg.se/skalman01/Screenshot-Install.png, im installing from the sda3 partition, i want to reboot and be able to boot into the new / [22:01] hml, libdvdcss2 from medibuntu === benji is now known as Guest75900 [22:01] !medibuntu | hml [22:01] hml: medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org [22:02] DragonLotus: oh did you by any chance write the xorg.conf yourself ? [22:02] it was complaining about the rgbpath item in the files section. I told it to use the default settings [22:02] Hi, does anyone know of an alternative to IPhoto, that liske Firefly streams the stuff over bonjour. I need a web interface for this [22:02] Kinda big, you want the whole thing? [22:02] usser: Waiting. [22:02] fuck you ? [22:02] hi [22:02] ...still waiting. [22:02] "timecout connecting to [ip]" [22:02] linny1: nope, but I heard people were having problems with the user created xorg.conf files [22:02] i untentionally deleted a partition which is basically an ubuntu partition and grub doesnt like..i used to have a non working hardy heron and the live cd is damaged.....im running backtrack now...how can i install grub using backtrack?

[22:04] I'm trying to install drivers for X-Fi, but I get "make: *** [install] Segmentation fault" on "make install" [22:04] Wine itself isn't really the problem :( [22:04] Okay, sorry about that: http://rafb.net/p/48M2wi21.html [22:04] Hfuy, try specifiying the username smbclient \\\\ipaddress\\share --user=YOURUSERNAME [22:05] Yes burkmat, there is... as I said, it's not the problem with ONE of the programs, but using both at the same time. [22:05] Hfuy, by YOURUSERNAME i mean the name its shared as on xp machine [22:05] I cannot connect. Need emergency help :) [22:05] I'm thinking it might have something to do with the "unable to enumerate usb device" statement, but I haven't found anything that's a useful lead in my little a-Googling.

[22:07] Anyone know how to get a correct 4:3 aspect ratio running freedos in qemu? [22:07] Hfuy, just to be sure try restarting your ubuntu box and try smbclient right away, without opening nautilus [22:07] usser: I'd doubt it. I've checked two boxes. [22:07] does any one have a solution for built-in camera it does n't work [22:07] (Is pastebin better than nopaste, by the way. More helpful to look at?) [22:07] It works for everyone else, just not ubuntu.

[22:21] thats great i really appreciate your help a LOT [22:21] Jake1: no, don't use /etc/modules for it. the actual module insertion (of ehci_hcd) needs to be much earlier, e.g., in the initramfs [22:21] cronjobs for user X seem to be executing at the GMT time instead of the time in /etc/timezone ... what gives? [22:21] crimsun: Sounds good... should I take my little hack out of /etc/modules.d?

[22:24] crimsun: What does this do, by the way? [22:24] ugh [22:24] nbeebo_: yeah, but nevertheless the cause for reinstalling murrine was the problem, that the dust theme is not displayed correctly and that reinstalling has not solved the problem, my dust theme looks like this http://media.ubuntuusers.de/forum/attachments/1670485/Screenshot.png ,I dont want to bother but maybe you know a solution? [22:24] cpu spikes to + 50% when scrolling in firefox [22:24] Jake1: to what does "this" refer? [22:24] crimsun: Make a change to the raw kernel image in some way?

[22:24] are there any wireless routers that would be compatible with Ubuntu and my xbox 360? [22:24] crimsun: Oh. The "sudo update-initramfs -u".

When I resume, Ubuntu starts to load, and just before the login screen appears, the machine freezes over. I see a mouse pointer, but I can't move it. Ctrl+Alt+Backspace/Delete do not work as well. If I turn off compiz, I might be able to hibernate and resume once, but not twice. Anyone has any idea [22:38] what's wrong, or what should I do to find out more about this? [22:38] in the bible belt its hard to come by [22:38] so i take pills [22:38] i'd just not hibernate, Accidus [22:38] not ideal, but meh, [22:38] Accidus, how much swap did u give? and yes ill go with Jangari [22:39] !anyone | MatBoy [22:39] MatBoy: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..."

[22:40] to my xbox 360 i mean [22:40] it would be really nice to some day be able to advancedly use linux gentoo. my buddy has linux gentoo with 2.5 mb kernel [22:40] you'd use the xbox to naviagate your media files, razaccour, the router is just the path between them [22:40] anybody get internetz messed up by any recent update [22:41] Jangari, but would i be able to transfer files from ubuntu to the xbox 360?

[22:41] i know xbox is microsoft, hope its compatible with linux as far as file transfering goes [22:41] razaccour, mostlikely [22:41] I can't understand why ubuntu installed grub [22:41] ok thanks === rob is now known as Guest11650 [22:42] MatBoy: To boot successfully on LVM, you need /boot on a separate (non-LVM) partition [22:42] omg, why on earth on and heaven do I have to be displayed as gray!? [22:42] razaccour: likely ubuntu will be able to read/write to the xbox, but the other way might not go so swimmingly [22:42] Flannel: mhh, itś on LVM :( thatś why lilo is installed I think [22:42] MatBoy: That is, with GRUB. I have no idea with lilos capabilities for LVM/RAID. But you should move /boot off of your LVM [22:42] Nicalibre: Its a long shot, but this might help you: http://www.mail-archive.com/ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com/msg534018.html [22:42] does nautilus have any concept of a mountable location like rox-filer does? I have to manually go an mount folders listed as user mountable in fstab. maybe I'm just taking the wrong approach?

[22:44] thanks pici i ll read it [22:44] im looking for a way to basically turn my current install into an installable .iso Any suggestions? [22:44] MatBoy: Just create a partition in front of the LVM ones on one disk, and put /boot on it, then move stuff, yeah. Or re-install, that's likely the least amount of work (for you, anyway, but computers like work) [22:44] hola [22:44] terminhell: look into remastersys?

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. [22:46] compiz: both, yes. vmware is most likely the best virtualisation solution, but virtualbox is much better supported by ubuntu [22:46] compiz: VMware workstation isn't free, but server is. VBox is free and does most everything vmware workstation does. [22:46] how to install a .dep package using the terminal??? [22:46] hi all. anybody knows when will be python2.6 included?

And also what one of the previous ones was? [22:54] D1iiphantom: In any case, I didn't find any concrete references to a working fix.

[23:05] brb if it doesn't work [23:06] Question: Running VirtualBox 2.0.6 with Ubuntu 8.10 as host and Windows XP Pro as guest on IBM T30 laptop, Linksys WRTG router, wireless connection to Linksys. While in Windows, able to connect to local PCs on intranet but can't get to Internet. All connections in Ubuntu work fine. Using NAT in Adapter 1 (PCnet-FAST III). Windows firewall is OFF. Guest Extensions in VirtualBox installed. Same problem when connected hardwired to router. How s [23:06] hould I be configuring the network in VirtualBox? [23:06] mrwes it is a desktop, an older one [23:06] Flannel, done i cut all the other lines and saved the sources.list [23:06] mrwes: it is on tho, it worked off the live cd [23:06] is there any other way of getting to find?? [23:07] UBunterisk: alright, now exit that, and sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade. This will get you up-to-date with Feisty, which is the first step towards upgrading [23:07] without pressing alt f2 [23:07] Diiphantom: unix usernames map to a UID which is a number. if the users under each OS have the same UID then you should be ok. you can see the numbers by looking at /etc/passwd. ubuntu starts numbering users from 1000 iirc, and i guess if you create the same users in the same order you will be ok [23:07] ok [23:08] please tell me what the name of ubuntu server rus? [23:08] ali1234, and if not how would i fix it :) lol [23:08] !ru [23:08] Пожалуйста посетите #ubuntu-ru для получения помощи на русском языке / Pozhalujsta posetite #ubuntu-ru dlya polucheniya pomoshi na russkom yazyke [23:08] istvan_: goto System | Preferences | Bluetooth | General tab and see what the settings are [23:09] Diiphantom: i don't know... you would have to change the UIDs of the users in one of the installations somehow [23:09] need help setting up dual head nvidia to display 2 k menus on 2 monitors - with 2 taskbars etc [23:09] ali1234, uhm i guess this will be a learning experience lol [23:09] Another try: Hibernation doesn't work for me. I'm working on a Dell Inspiron 1545 laptop. When I go to hibernate, things seem to work nicely. When I resume, Ubuntu starts to load, and just before the login screen appears, the machine freezes over. I see a mouse pointer, but I can't move it. Ctrl+Alt+Backspace/Delete do not work as well. If I turn off compiz, I might be able to hibernate and resume once, but not twice. I should have enough swap [23:09] space (6GB for a 3GB RAM). Anyone has any idea what's wrong, or what should I do to find out more about this? [23:09] anyone know how to get realplayer? [23:10] Accidus, google or look in ubuntuforums [23:10] mrwes there is no bluetooth preferences there... [23:10] jonjoe: it doesn't exist for linux [23:10] what's the swap, accidus? [23:10] hardware supported? [23:10] jonjoe, look on realplayer web page.... and it exist just download it [23:10] how can I generate back default xorg.conf file? [23:10] Accidus, http://ubuntuforums.org/ i really wish i could help you [23:10] ubuntu 8.10 [23:10] !swap | x0r [23:10] x0r: 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 [23:10] Is there any command that will give you a processor benchmark? [23:10] istvan_: nothing in System | Prefs | Bluetooth ? [23:11] Flannel i got too errors updating coz tty1 is already start update and downloading the files that takes hours to be finished [23:11] Accidus: I had the same problem once. Had to revert to a saved instance. [23:11] I need a program to DJ (party) ANYONE plz help! [23:11] Diiphantom: I've looked there (and in Google), couldn't find anything useful... I guess I should just post a new bug. [23:11] UBunterisk: Oh, if you're already started... yeah, don't do it again. [23:11] gromeo: sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg - will reset your xorg.conf to default [23:11] x0r: As I said, the swap is twice as much as the RAM (6GB for 3GB) [23:11] Accidus, yea :) thank you! and start a new post in ubuntuforums [23:11] oh :) [23:11] i have upgraded to intrepid from hardy and can't find the darkroom theme, anyone got a clue about this? [23:11] jcarter: What do you mean? [23:11] mrwes I have to go, but no, there is no bluetooth under system preferences [23:11] ubuntuforums.org -> they know [23:11] Flannel, i already have the DVD-ROM of 7.10 gusty already can i just upgrade from the DVD-ROM? [23:12] fbc: somethins similar to a benchmark: grep -i bogo /proc/cpuinfo [23:12] why don't I have my displayed as blue? [23:12] DJ Program for linux..... anyone? [23:12] how to drive away all users execpt myself in shell ?? [23:13] noriyuki: You just wnat to play music? Or make music? [23:13] noriyuki: Try Mixxx [23:13] what can be a possible reason for the network manager to display "wireless network" greyed out after installing the drivers ( autoinstall as prompted by a popup in ubuntu itself ) [23:13] jcarter: What did you mean by 'reverting to saved instance'? [23:13] Accidus: Did you take a snapshot of Linux - a backup? [23:13] Pici, play but can you tell me of both now that you mention it:P [23:13] when it was working? [23:13] how to drive away all users execpt myself in shell ?? [23:13] i have upgraded to intrepid from hardy and can't find the darkroom theme, anyone got a clue about this? [23:13] UBunterisk: You can, but you need to have feisty up to date first [23:14] It's a new machine, I guess you can say it's never worked properly [23:14] Accidus: it sounds like a race condition/driver resume problem. [23:14] Accidus: why do you double the ram amount of swap? [23:14] hspaans: Yep [23:14] harshasv: it's not in System | Preferences | Appearance ? [23:15] I could triple it. Do you think it'll help? [23:15] noriyuki: Check out this list: They're all in the repositories: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuStudio/Audio [23:15] owww Flannel so now its updating just feisty? i thought 7.10 :S it takes hours [23:15] ali1234: Well, how do I go about solving it/diagnosing it better? [23:15] Why isn't gdm 2.24 included by default in ubuntu? [23:15] mrwes: no it doesn't show up in there [23:15] Accidus: if you didn't have enough swap i think hibernate would just flat out not work... [23:15] UBunterisk: you only have (or should only have) feisty sources in your sources.list, yeah [23:15] why don't I have my name and text displayed as blue? also, could someone give me a link to page where I can see all the commands in hree [23:15] hspaans: it is recommended to have 2 to 2.5 times as much swap space as RAM in any computer. [23:16] jcarter: no it's not only if you suspend [23:16] Anyone else have firefox/flash reliability problems on x86_64 ? [23:16] is it possible to make a HFS+ partition within ubuntu? [23:16] Does linux still have problems with 3+ gigs of ram? [23:16] Accidus: check in /var/log/messages* after rebooting. look for kernel oops etc [23:16] hspaan: Minimum swap space should be 1.5 times RAM. [23:16] Flannel, i tried it before i add the 3 lines and 0 upgraded 0 installed nothing happenned all the URLS where not FOUND [23:16] jcarter: sorry, but I'm not going to allocate 512GB or more of swap on my servers [23:16] jcarter: Thats really no longer true. [23:16] err__: hasn't had an issue in a few years [23:17] UBunterisk: Right. Because Feisty is EOL (no longer supported), and the mirrors were taken offline [23:17] Ok thanks. [23:17] mikejet: i used to... it was all caused by pulseaudio, but seems to have been fixed now... i had to remove flashplugin-helper or whatever it is called too... [23:17] err__: the 3+ is a x86 architecture limit so it's not linux it's the x86 architecture [23:17] jcarter: those swap rules are for over 10 years obsolete, sorry [23:17] fosco_, thanks, that's what I was looking for. [23:17] hspaan: You mean you have more than 200GB of RAM in your computer? [23:17] jcarter: or you must be using Windows NT [23:17] Okay. I'll try hibernating now. [23:17] Be back soon. [23:18] jcarter: I have machines with 256GB of ram, yes [23:18] ... [23:18] wat? [23:18] hspaan: I have a background in Unix, and that's what we set up swap space for in our computers.

[23:29] arj1, I'm back after resetting the router still having the same problem and confirmed it is a problem with the network or internet because firefox responded very quickly when accessing the pages for my router settings [23:30] And at that point when it's checking for all the dependencies it dies when looking for kde libraries. [23:30] harshasv: It should be automatically installed. Do you not see it under System>Preferences>Appearance ? [23:30] Glenshope: so welcome back. so you could enter a temporary faster nameserver in resolv.conf [23:30] Pici: no i dont see it [23:30] what's the purpose of /opt and /usr/local? [23:30] i don't get the difference.. [23:30] BitWraith, lubi - not really, i should assume it works similarly tho [23:31] help. my kubuntu has sound when it boots and when it shutsdown. but in between, i can't play music or anything. no sound at all [23:31] I want to do something on my own that involves the same process, so I need to know how ubuntu does it, but it appears to be poorly documented. :-( [23:31] arj1, if I wanted to do that I would need to reset my modem, but I'm pretty sure that isn't the problem [23:31] because there is more than just me connected to the internet [23:31] and I'm the only one with -- Hold one, I'm the only one complaining let me double check [23:31] Glenshope: whY that? [23:31] harshasv: What if you go to customize a theme, is Darkroom listed under the controls tab? [23:31] Pici: i can't find it in /usr/share/themes too [23:31] I need to boot a Linux system that has a big file containing the root filesystem [23:32] fungo, just directories where you can install your own software. When I compile something, I usually put it in /usr/local [23:32] what should be a better idea ? make a MD with ext3 on it for /boot or put it also on LVM ? [23:32] where the LVM is on a MD [23:32] Pici: it isn't there either [23:32] #surabaya [23:32] under the controls tab [23:32] arj1, I just checked, my sister who is running an older version of Ubuntu doesn't have this problem [23:32] harshasv: do you have the human-theme package installed? [23:32] fungo, opt is for any programs that dont necessarily follow unix filesystem layout, ie install binaries libs in the same directory and generally for third party programs [23:33] Pici, hey what was the webpage for making and playing muxic you told me sorry I had a crash on my system [23:33] Pici: yes i do [23:33] Glenshope: mmh, strange [23:33] Does anyone know of any command line utilities which can be used to resize images? [23:33] noriyuki: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuStudio/Audio [23:33] I know, thats why I came here v_v [23:33] fungo, /usr/local is the place where all the programs user installs SHOULD go, given that ubuntu and linux in general largely ignores that [23:33] i think the notifications are gross, the existing inotify is great when applications use it right [23:33] Tetracomm: the tools that are part of the imagemagick package should be able to do that [23:33] fungo, maybe this helps - http://www.pathname.com/fhs/pub/fhs-2.3.txt.gz [23:33] <[[thufir]]> if I cancel gparted and it causes SEVERE filesystem damage, is that fixable by reformating, or is that damage to the hard drive itself? [23:33] what is /usr/share? [23:33] Glenshope: sorry, i cannot help you any further. perhaps others are more familiar with that ;) [23:33] fungo, freebsd installs almost everything under /usr/local [23:34] Perhaps [23:34] well [23:34] I have another problem [23:34] harshasv: Then it should exist under /usr/share/themes/DarkRoom/ [23:34] But its a small problem [23:34] [[thufir]]: if its just filesystem damage, that should be easily remedied w/ a format. [23:34] question hopefully someone can answer when i mount a drive in ubuntu when i click into the folder there is a header that says "These Files Are On A Picture CD." is there a way to get rid of that? [23:34] i mean libnotify [23:34] <[[thufir]]> IndyGunFreak: thanks [23:34] Whenever I boot up, the startup sequence stops with a "can't find root" error [23:34] and it drops to shell [23:34] but if i just type in exit [23:34] it continues booting up [23:35] as if nothing is wrong [23:35] disk usage analyzer shows /usr/share is using alot of space for me, but the subdirs only are using 1/2 of that total, and there are no big files I see in /usr/share, am I missing something?

[23:37] *driver [23:37] irc.wubnet.org [23:37] Hi I need your help please. My eyes are exploding any minute now. I cant seem to get ubuntu to understand that my monitor is capable of handling refresh rates above 0Hz :) [23:37] I have it open [23:37] and no [23:37] Lasivian: grub can do it? [23:37] zoor : try "X -configure" at commandline [23:37] asdffdsas, note, you have to set the display [23:37] rhavenw: no, I mean what was the drive booting? [23:37] Glenshope: pastebin? [23:37] <[[thufir]]> zoor: what happens at 0Hz? [23:37] unop : gimme an example, 800x600, for display 0 (only monitor) [23:37] asdffdsas, otherwise you would expect the error message you get [23:38] Lasivian: no its an external [23:38] asdffdsas, DISPLAY=:0.0 xrandr -s 800x600 [23:38] arj1, pastebin?

[23:38] ok, you say "repair a mbr", not erase, so you want to repair what exactly? [23:38] unop : so "sudo display=:0.0 xrandr -s 800x600", correct? [23:38] Glenshope: sorry ;) can you simple copy/paste the contents of menu.lst? [23:38] asdffdsas, no, no need for sudo - and case matters [23:38] Ok [23:38] but to pastebin not direclty here!

[23:39] irc.wubnet.org [23:39] zoor : no, it isn't the same... it calculates all your displayable modes and creates you a new xorg.conf file [23:39] [[thufir]]: Well my monitor seems to be working. Only at a very low refresh rate. Thats the main problem [23:39] asdffdsas: ok. I'll give it a try. [23:39] zoor : While the other command reconfigures the xserver-xorg package [23:39] I'm making an Ubuntu server with ZFS. Does anyone know if zfs-fuse works well? And if my drive with ubuntu dies, what happens to my data in my zfs-fuse on ubuntu, can a reinstalled ubuntu pick up the zfs pool?

[23:41] is there a way to recover data from deleted parition? [23:41] that didn't work, unop... killed my session, brought me back to login screen, and didn't change anything [23:41] asdffdsas: It didnt work. Am I allowed to paste the output in here? [23:41] rhavenw: perhaps you should explain what the "problem" is, what is happening that is not supposed to happen, or what is not happening [23:42] zoor : terminal window : sudo X -configure [23:42] I use softraid, which performs very well... but now I use LVM I have one big MD where I put all LVM's on.

"fatal error" and so on [23:43] fatal error eh, lemme think, I got a few of those too...

[23:44] djabbour - dmidecode I believed will show it [23:44] mhh, swap not on LVM ? [23:44] asdffdsas: http://paste.ubuntu.com/94647/ [23:44] kelvin911: did you delete the partition and replace it, or just format it? [23:44] I tried "DISPLAY=:0.0 xrandr -s 800x600" which just logged me out and didn't change a thing [23:45] anyone knows how to create a CD label from a playlist from an app like amarok or adacious??? [23:45] Lasivian: i copied the mbr, the sizes of the drives were different, 20 -> 30 gb, i used gparted to resize the drive, but its kinda funky, ubuntu recognizes it as a 30 gb drive, linux mint sees it as a 20 gb, [23:45] zoor : that was my fault... do it from a failsafe terminal (select sessions at login screen, failsafe terminal) [23:45] Lasivian: so id like to redo the mbr [23:45] kelvin911: You're probably out of luck, try Ontrack under Windows [23:45] if i can [23:45] zoor : It reconfigures your X server (what displays your desktop/panels/etc. and can't be done while it's running (now) [23:46] rhavenw: I wouldn't risk it, backup the data and blow away the drive completely. [23:46] asdffdsas: ok. I'll give it a go. Thanks in advanced. I let you know if I succeeds :) [23:46] zoor : You'll likey need "sudo" for taht if I remember right [23:46] asdffdsas: ok [23:46] rhavenw, try updating the BIOS first [23:46] zoor : please do, cuz i just dealt with that *today* [23:47] How to change X's resolution (currently UNDISPLAYABLE) from a virtual terminal (ctrl+alt+f1) that IS displayable? [23:47] without redoing the entire xorg.conf that i worked hard on [23:47] xrandr isn't working, nor is ctrl+alt+f1 [23:48] asdffdsas - make a quick copy before you change anything else [23:48] energy : this is for my customer, i already ahve a backup copy on their machine [23:48] mhh I'm wondering if I shall place swap on LVM or not [23:48] energa : they had problems handling the syntax with /etc/X11/xorg.conf and didn't amnage to type the CP command right even guided character by character [23:48] so I need an easier solution for them, i'm not there, they're in another city [23:48] asdffdsas, if xrandr isnt working youre screwed big time I suggest you create a backup of your xorg and redo it again [23:48] does anybody here use lubi? [23:49] xrandr says "cannot open display" from virtual terminal [23:49] asdffdsas - you can ssh in to their box? [23:49] X is running on display 7, but at a resolution too hgih for the monitor [23:49] enerya : I disable that on all customer machines [23:49] so a hacker couldn't do it either.. [23:49] asdffdsas - now you learned, without a backdoor, you are makinng it harder for yourself too [23:49] i had them type at failsafe terminal "sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.good /etc/X11/xorg.conf" and they couldn't handle it === Gwildor_ is now known as Gwildor [23:50] no idea where they typoed, went thru it char by char with them [23:50] asdffdsas - if i were them and paying you good money, am sure im going to make you be present :P [23:50] ther should be an easier way than redoing the xorg.conf file, i just need to change an undisplayable resolution here [23:50] how to know in any folder im i in terminal? [23:50] Lasivian: aight, ill probably just leave it to format and copy the stuff over [23:50] thanks [23:50] does anybody happen to know how lubi specifies the start and end of a filesystem? [23:50] enerya : I charge about $50 for 8 to 20 hours of work, no, I don't charge good money [23:51] Pici, hey what was the webpage for making and playing muxic you told me sorry I had a crash on my system [23:51] ok, swap will be on LVM :) [23:51] enerya : that's backup, install, restore, make sure all video/wifi drivers are working, set up themes, wallpapers, 300 programs, etc. [23:51] hocem: ls -A should show you all your folders/files in terminal [23:51] enerya : I try to get people to jump ship every chance I get, at my financial expense [23:51] asdffdsas - you're making it like the frekin overseas indians.. no wonder we dont get work no more [23:52] http://www.elite-hackers.com/ [23:52] what is the command? [23:52] enerya : anyways, this seems it should have a simpler solution rather than redoing xorg.conf from backup... i just need to change resolution here [23:52] hocem: to see files/folders? ls -A [23:52] enerya : I'm the only guy in town that'll deal with or install ubuntu... geek squad will charge $400 just to remove one virus around here [23:52] hocem, pwd [23:53] enerya : there's a difference between making a fair buck and flat out ripping people off [23:53] whats the default framebuffer that gets used in intrepid ?
